The Graveyard of the Mountain-Shaking Beast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Viscount Thomas mounted on horseback and unfolded the map in his hand.

The map is very worn, it looks like it is some years old, and the graphics on it are very rough, and I can only roughly make out that in the middle is a large flat area, and the words "Shaking Mountain Beast Cemetery" are marked next to it.

Along the cemetery to the south, after a narrow canyon terrain, a stone gate-like sign is drawn, and the words "White Tomb" are written in small blurred letters next to it.

This is the true destination of Thomas's trip.

According to the clues left by the dragon knight, the temple guards were so desperate that he had to hide his wild heart here to avoid the sight of the temple guards.

It has to be said that this place is a great place to hide treasures.

There is a mountain beast cemetery on the periphery as a cover, and there is an ancient tomb buried for hundreds of years in the deepest part, if it is not for the guidance of mysterious clues, I don't know how many years this holy relic will be buried underground.

The white crypt is old, with countless bones buried inside, and by the time the dragon knights arrived, necromantic magic had eroded the place, turning the tomb into an underground barracks for the undead.

Surprisingly, for some unknown reason, these undead are in a state of slumber and have not yet been activated.

The dragon knight had a great mind, and as soon as he discovered this place, he made a bold decision: leave the relics in the tomb!

In this way, even if an adventurer inadvertently breaks into this place, they will wake up the army of the undead here, and then be wiped out.

As for the vast number of skeletons in the white tomb, there is no need to worry.

As we all know, Wild Heart is said to be the creation of the goddess nature, and the goddess of nature hates the undead the most. Therefore, this holy relic is the natural enemy of all undead creatures, just like the fear of the Holy Light, once the undead come into contact with it, they will be directly wiped out.

The events that followed seemed to prove that the Dragon Knight had made the right decision - for more than a hundred years, no one had imagined that Wild Heart would be hidden here.

The only problem Thomas has to solve now is the many necromantic creatures standing in the way of the creatures.

Thomas looked back at the neatly formed army, and a smile curled into his lips.

……

After the army entered the cemetery, no new orders were received, and the soldiers only cautiously advanced, following Viscount Thomas and his personal guards, gradually penetrating.

The heavy rain showed signs of stopping, but the vision of the cemetery was getting blurrier and hazy, and a layer of gray fog was floating in the air, and the visibility was only about ten meters. Occasionally, a shiny phosphor fire drifted by, screaming at some of the timid recruits.

However, everyone could at least be sure that this direction was definitely not the path through the graveyard, because as the skeletons of the mountain-shaking beasts around them became fewer and fewer, a steep rock wall appeared in front of everyone.

It's a dead end!

Caroline had Danny with her all the time, and he had been her herald, and the young man was leading Caroline's horse, looking around nervously, his face nervous.

"My lord, where are we going further?" Danny tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword at his waist and couldn't help but ask Caroline on horseback.

Caroline had the same question in her mind, frowning and looking into the distance, she could vaguely see a strangely shaped building under the rock wall, and the personal guard at the front of the line had stopped, and was arranging something there.

They seem to have been prepared, what are they doing?

Thomas's recent actions were full of mysteries, and Caroline couldn't guess the truth, but she keenly sensed that the aura of necromantic magic in the vicinity was a little too strong.

Soon an order came from the front to assemble the troops under the cliff and prepare to enter the tomb as a whole, Thomas holding the token of Emperor Digger and no one dared to disobey his orders.

At the level of Caroline, Xiu Wei already had extremely sharp intuition, and she instinctively felt that the truth of the matter might be even more outrageous than she imagined.

Before Thomas's herald arrived, Caroline pulled out a note marked "2".

"Your Excellency, Lord

If I'm guessing correctly, Thomas should have brought the party to the White Crypt by now.

This military operation had nothing to do with transporting baggage, it all started a few months ago, when His Majesty the Emperor received news that the Wild Heart had been found.

……”

Reading the entire letter without saying a word, Caroline's eyes were full of surprise.

Wild Heart!

How could Caroline not know about it!

It is clearly recorded in the history libraries of every country on the Miracle Continent. The Emerald Wasteland was originally a barren land, covered with yellow sand, the sun was like fire, and nothing was active here except the undead.

It wasn't until the Wild Heart appeared and the Orcs established their first tribe in the desert that the land slowly came to life. As the volume of the Nushui River increased year by year, it also laid the foundation for the development of several human kingdoms downstream.

His Majesty wants a wild heart?

At this moment, Caroline suddenly understood the true meaning of Yang Shou's previous words and deeds. He knew Thomas's true purpose this time, and from the beginning, he had no intention of letting Wild Heart be taken away by Thomas.

Yang Shou made it clear in the letter that Thomas's plan was to let more than 2,000 soldiers block the undead in the tomb, so that he could have a chance to get the deepest part of the wild heart in the white tomb.

Now, Caroline has no time to investigate how Yang Shou could not be a prophet, and her intuition tells her that this is probably the case.

“…… The Wild Heart belongs to the Emerald Wasteland, and without it, it is worthless.

The Lich Mountains have coveted the relics for hundreds of years, and this time the news of the Wild Heart suddenly appeared, and I extremely suspect that the undead are behind it, with the purpose of provoking a war between the two countries, weakening the orc kingdom, and preparing for the invasion of the human kingdom.

I don't know if you remember, but what I said to you on the night of the undead sneak attack, the deadliest attacks often come from behind, Lord Lord, be careful.

This is the case, how to choose, let the lord decide for himself. ”

Glancing at the last few lines of the letter again, Caroline bit her lip, and her light green eyes had a complicated expression: This Yang Shou ......

The "attack from behind" reminded by Yang Shouxin made Caroline a little uneasy, but she quickly shook off these thoughts and focused on more important things.

Yang Shou didn't say a word about asking Caroline to do what he did, and he completely let Caroline make her own decisions. But anyone who knows Caroline a little knows that she can't just watch her subordinates die because she wants to steal something from someone else.

In Thomas's eyes, these people are just pawns that can be sacrificed at any time, but in Caroline's eyes, these are flesh and blood people, and she is obliged to bring them back intact when she brings them out of her hometown!

Caroline looked up, the hesitation in her eyes quickly turning to determination.

Riding forward, Caroline quickly came to the front of the group and found Viscount Thomas, who was having his servant knead his calves.

"Carolyn, you've come just in time,"

A servant knelt on the ground, Thomas sat on the servant's back, and smiled at Caroline: "I'm going to explore this tomb and let your subordinates take the lead, after all, the strength of the cavalry in Cedar Town is obvious to everyone~"

Seeing Thomas's style of acting as a royal nobleman, Caroline frowned slightly and said, "My lord, there are some things I want to talk to you about alone." ”

"What do you want to talk about alone? Let's say it now~" Thomas immediately asked a little nervously, what he thought about was whether the other party had discovered the fact that he had sent someone to hunt down Jane.

Caroline's expression was flat: "Something about Wild Heart." ”

Thomas was startled and stood up violently, but because of the mud under his feet, he slipped directly off the servant's back, and fell on his ass, and his bright clothes were stained with mud.

At this time, Thomas did not care about his image, and stood up with the help of the servant, and looked at Caroline with horror in his eyes.

She actually knew!? Who told the story?

No, if she knew the contents of His Majesty's secret letter, she would have killed me long ago, and it would be impossible for her to come back to me to ask for advice.

Thinking of this, Thomas forced himself to compose, straightened his hat, waved his hand to the side with a gloomy face, and several of the servants who were waiting quickly left, leaving only ten heavily armed personal guards.

"How do you know about Wild Heart?" Thomas asked.

"It doesn't matter,"

Caroline shook her head slightly, stared at Thomas, and asked directly, "You just need to tell me, Your Majesty's order, is it okay for you to bring back the heart of the wild?" ”

Hearing this, Thomas secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this pretentious and high-minded cheap woman really didn't know the content of His Majesty's secret letter.

His Majesty made it clear in the letter that although Caroline is now loyal and patriotic, her background is a hidden danger that cannot be erased after all, and it will be a scourge to stay by His Majesty's side sooner or later. Just take advantage of this opportunity to seize the heart of the wild to make her disappear.

Thomas regained his composure expression, habitually brushed his beautiful blonde hair, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty does have this secret order, so I brought the army here, this is the top secret of this operation, you have to keep it a secret." ”

Caroline nodded, but there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

It is not surprising that His Majesty gave a secret order, but it is strange that this order should be told to Thomas alone?

You know, Caroline is the actual commander of this army, isn't it much simpler and more reliable than handing over the seal to Thomas and letting him lead the army and directly let Caroline lead the team to complete the task?

Yang Shou's words of reminder flashed in Caroline's mind again, but she was quickly suppressed again.

Let's think about the important things first.

"Can you tell me where Your Majesty got this news from?" Caroline quickly grasped the key point of the question and asked.

"This is a secret, no one else knows about it except Your Majesty and the Duke, and I advise you not to ask more." Thomas replied with a straight face.

Caroline frowned, glanced at Thomas suspiciously, or temporarily put aside the doubts in her heart, and said: "This place is close to the Shaking Mountain Beast Cemetery, the undead aura is extremely strong, and it is very likely that there will be undead, so let me explore the road first, make sure it is safe and then let the soldiers in." ”

Thomas showed a surprised expression when he heard this, but his heart blossomed: Lao Tzu is thinking about how to weaken your strength, and you have sent it to the door yourself! Haha, as long as you die, the rest of these people will dare not obey my orders?

Thomas couldn't help but begin to fantasize about the scene of returning to the imperial capital with a wild heart, being rewarded by His Majesty, and admired and worshiped by other people in the court~
