592 Demon Maharaja?
Establishing a country is not something that can be achieved by shouting slogans or something, although Sycamore already has a certain foundation and advantages compared to other players, coupled with the current situation of the shattered Kingdom of Andele, it is not impossible to succeed.
But for now, they still have to be down-to-earth to complete the task of the chief trial first.
"If I'm not mistaken, we, I should say that the 'Guards Corps', including us, should be guarding something."
Master Sandre sat cross-legged on a bone seat with the thick spine of a skeletal rhinoceros, the rotten wooden staff lying across the knees of the ordinary linen robe provided by Sycamore and the others.
The hooded undead druids don't look so scary, and as their former children of nature, they don't exude the evil aura of ordinary undead anytime and anywhere, but they don't seem to have a sense of existence.
Fifty or sixty high-ranking undead druids rode their own summoned skeleton mounts, silently scattered around the marching procession.
"Guards?"
Wutong asked curiously, "What is that?" Is there anything on top of the Endless Island that needs to be guarded? β
"Don't worry, don't worry! Let me think about it! β
Master Sandrei gently tapped his skull with a wooden staff, making an "empty" sound, after losing the organ of the memory carrier "brain", although he has self-awareness, the soul fire retains some impressive memories in his life, but the biggest problem of the undead: amnesia, still affects them, so that a large number of memories are lost, and the remaining part is often very laborious to be able to recall it again.
"Yes, I remember that our [Sadek] Order was directly appointed by Grand Master Orion to come to the Endless Isle to guard something, and there are many other guard regiments like us, all of whom are high-level professionals from the countries of the Kovarare continent."
Master Sandrei was very sure: "There are hundreds of 'guard regiments' like us! β
Wutong and they were shocked, the guard regiment composed of hundreds of high-level professionals of the 5th and 6th order, the total number of them was as high as thirty or forty thousand, and there were many people like Master Sandrei and the missing Miluya. A Tier 7 Master Practitioner like the Silver Frost Master!
With such a scale, it is enough to subvert the entire Kovare continent, right? How could he have been sent to this secret realm to serve as a guard in obscurity?
I'm afraid that the only people who can send a guard regiment of this scale are the royal families of the major kingdoms and the major guild institutions, right? What does it mean that no institution has any intention of repatriating these powerful high-level professionals when all the countries on the continent of Kovare are already in constant friction?
It shows that the things on this island are more important than their unification of the continent, or even the destruction of the country and the extinction of the race, according to Master Sandrei, although these guard regiments are distributed all over the Endless Island, they are alliance members of sincere cooperation with each other, and they will not be hostile to each other because of the filth between the countries on the Kovarare continent.
This is equivalent to a super United Nations force!?
Even the most stupid and daring Invincible Hammer and Grom were a little scared: "What is there on this Endless Island?" Master Sandrei shook his head in annoyance, obviously not remembering the contents of this part anymore.
Everyone's faces are green, even if all countries have the idea of consuming the new generation of elites of hostile forces, there is no need to throw a group of second-order rookies like them into such a mortal place, right? If you consume the elites of other countries, can the elites of your own country go back?
"Could it be the legendary 'Tian Ji Horse Race'?"
The invincible hammer looked at Wutong with an ugly face, it's not that there is no such possibility, his own forces only send some dispensable cannon fodder to participate in the chief war, and act as an outcast to lure the elites of other countries to die with them, this is a good deal that only makes money and does not lose money!
If that's the case, they will lose a lot this time, no matter how you look at it, they are all meat buns and dogs who participated in this chief war, and there is a situation where they have no return.
Wutong rolled his eyes, took out a spar and shook it, it was the [Teleportation Guide Crystal] that was distributed to them before teleporting, this thing can pull them back to the Kovare continent at any time, do you think those ** masters in various countries are stupid? Dig a pit for them to jump on, and then give each person a ladder to climb up at any time?
"Not really."
Of course, Master Sandree didn't understand the meaning of the Asian American phrase "Tian Ji Horse Racing", and only after he understood it did he "laugh" and said: "The last chief trial, well, is what you called the 'chief war', because all the chief of that session died, so the venue of the chief trial has been canceled on the Endless Island, and the teleportation circle has also been restricted to only beginner professionals from entering, in order to prevent some high-level professionals with ulterior motives from sneaking into the Endless Island." β
"Wait! Wait! β
Wutong seemed to have clarified something: "You mean, the teleportation circle connected from the Kovarray continent only allows beginner professionals to teleport?" β
"Yes, we have made restrictions on the teleportation circle on the Endless Island, and it is impossible for a professional whose strength is higher than that of a beginner to teleport over."
Master Sandrei nodded: "There is no restriction on beginner professionals, after all, the guard regiment stationed here needs to transport a batch of supplies from the mainland every once in a while. β
Wutong asked, "Do you remember what caused the last chief disciple who conducted the trial on the Endless Island to be wiped out?" Master Sandrei shook his head silently after thinking about it for a while.
"That's a bit of a bad thing!"
Wutong rubbed his chin: "You see, because the last chief trial was completely wiped out, the guard regiment blocked the teleportation array, which shows that at that time, something uncontrollable had already happened on the Endless Island, and the biggest possibility was that among those chief disciples, some high-level or even super-level professionals were mixed in, and what they did on the Endless Island!" β
Infinity's eyes widened: "So? β
"So hairy, so! Two hundred and sixty-eight years ago, in the chief war, all the participants were wiped out, and then the master and their guard regiment guarding the Endless Island blocked the teleportation circle and restricted the teleportation, and the high-level professionals couldn't come, in order to prevent someone from sneaking up to sabotage, those beginner professionals who transported supplies couldn't do it over the high-level professionals like the master or even the super-level professionals, right? β
The hot-tempered Grom exclaimed, "But the masters they have become like this now, and the [Sadek] camp has been dilapidated by the time we arrived, obviously there was an accident a hundred or two hundred years ago, and during this time, no high-ranking professionals have landed on the island, so who made the masters like this?" β
Everyone looked at Grom in amazement and said in infinite surprise: "Grom, aren't you an orc?" It's unscientific to behave so smartly!? β
"Your sister! Lao Tzu is just an orc, which does not mean that Lao Tzu is also illiterate in reality! β
The five big and three thick Grom were angry, the orcs and the barbarians, all belong to the "illiterate" race, except for the language of their own tribe, they are almost illiterate, and the two-headed troll wizard of Three Days Life is an alternative among the other, probably because of the reason for the two heads, the IQ is relatively high, and accidentally became an extremely rare cultural person among the trolls, a race that has no superfluous ideas except for eating.
Everyone laughed for a while, whether it was Grom or Invincible Hammer, three days of life, their rough appearance often made everyone forget their super play identity.
Hammer crossed his arms and said thoughtfully, "In other words, what we have to face is a group of enemies who can take out high-level professionals and super-level professionals?" β
"If that's all it takes, at most let's give up the mission and use the [Teleportation Guide Crystal] to return to the mainland."
Wutong frowned and said, "But the question now is, the master and they had an accident one or two hundred years ago, why did no one on the Kovaret Continent know that something had changed on the Endless Island for so long?" What exactly happened on this island that caused the Master them uh, caused the Master to turn them into undead? Isn't it regularly sent in by beginner professionals? β
He glanced apologetically at Master Sandree, who shook his head and said he didn't mind.
"So, find the person who receives the supplies, and we should know the answer!"
Wutong's face was very ugly, he glanced at everyone and said: "The problem now is that all the guard regiments on the entire Endless Island have already had an accident, otherwise, it is impossible for the [Sadek] camp to be abandoned like that, there is no change, even if they don't belong to the same force, there will always be someone to help collect the remains of the master, right?" The appearance of the [Sadek] camp, it is clear that no one has been here since the accident, which shows that not only the [Sadek] camp had an accident, but also the other guard regiments' stations, I am afraid that there have been accidents! β
The dwarf swallowed, "You mean we're now operating in the enemy's base camp?" Everyone looked at each other, and in this case, it would be really fun!
"Or" & "Shall we go back?" β
The two-headed wizard pulled out the [Teleportation Guide Crystal] and looked at Sycamore and Master Sandre, respectively.
Infinity snorted: "This 'unknown' enemy has 'occupied' the Endless Island more than two hundred years ago, why hasn't there been a next move?" I don't believe that they are just trying to grab a piece of territory, this is clearly a big plot, and it will affect the changes in the game process of the entire "Endless", and as participants, how much benefit we will get in it, don't you know? You didn't do anything, just give up the mission and go back? β
Three days of life was infinitely stagnant, and he picked up the [Teleportation Guide Crystal] again, in the final analysis, they are some outlaws who are brave thieves, they are all masters who do not hit the south wall and do not look back, and break through the south wall and go forward, doing what they can't do, in all kinds of adventures that ordinary players can't complete, it is their job to obtain advanced benefits, otherwise, they will be called super play for Mao, and there are big conglomerates willing to hire them.
"It hasn't affected the KovarΓ© continent for more than two hundred years, probably because the teleportation circle has been restricted."
Wutong inferred: "Although this unknown 'enemy' 'occupied' the Endless Island, he also trapped himself on the island, and our group of chief teams of the death match suddenly entered the Endless Island, which may not have made the other party unexpected, of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately took control of the reason and took the opportunity of the chief war to send reinforcements from the unknown enemy to the island." β
Flailing Eagle nodded: "Then the situation is clearer, our next goal is:
1. Find out the reason for the mutation of animals in the Epel Forest; The starting task we received was a task for the last chief trialist of the Endless Island more than two hundred years ago, and more than two hundred years later, this task still exists, proving that the last chief trialist did not complete this task, and if you follow this task, you can always find clues.
2. Find the missing Milua. Silver Frost Grand Druid; Because she's an important NPC in the first ring mission, uh, an important key person! Probably a turnaround in the mission.
3. Find out what's really going on on the Endless Island; This is the real trial task of those of us who are the chief trialists more than two hundred years later, right!? It doesn't matter if the previous task is not completed. β
Wutong thought for a moment and added: "We still have to find the teleportation circle on the Endless Island and the people who have been responsible for receiving supplies for more than two hundred years, and make it clear that they are the enemy, or the forces controlled by the enemy, otherwise, why do we hide the changes that have occurred on the Endless Island from the Kovarare Continent?" β
"Are you overlooking something?"
Lingyue Frost Snow suddenly interjected: "That [Voditgeng Poison Short Sword], who is 'Vodigeng'?" Why did his dagger end up in [Sadek] camp? What are the masters guarding? β
Wutong said distressedly: "It's not that I didn't think of it, the problem is that I have no clue at all, so I can only slowly touch it from the existing conditions." β
"Vodigeng may be the maker of the dagger, but the maker is not necessarily the user?"
This sharp +5, [poisonous] +1 murder weapon, now in the hands of the hammer of the [Wind Assassin] profession, with the identification ability of the sycamore, it is impossible to identify more things from the caste, it is clearly for assassination, there is a [poison] that can kill the 7th order of the great druid, and there is no need to hurt the caste.
"Don't forget the big crow! As soon as we appeared, it popped up, isn't there any connection? β
"I guess its owner already knows about our existence." β
The dwarf muttered, "Of course its owner knows about our existence, do you think the tens of thousands of participants in this deathmatch are ants?" People won't be blind to their own territory, so many people can't notice it, right? β
Everyone had a headache, and the more they thought about it, the more suspicious they felt, but they didn't know where to start.
"That's not a raven, it's a [Abyssal Evil Raven], an evil creature from the [Bottomless Abyss]!"
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Master Sandrei, who had been silently thinking about something, suddenly spoke, obviously remembering something: "I seem to remember that we, the 'guards' guarding the Endless Island, may be supervising a demonic lord in the [Bottomless Abyss]."
Everyone's hairs stood up, staring at Master Sandrei tightly, as long as he dared to say that this thing was true, they would dare to immediately take out the [Teleportation Guide Crystal] and run away collectively, [Bottomless Abyss] What is that place? Just an ordinary demon is enough to slaughter the gods, and the demon king? Is it something that these rookies on the main material plane can provoke?
Fortunately, Master Sandri himself feels unreliable, even if they are high-level professionals, he himself is a 7th-order Great Druid, but to say that they can suppress a demon lord, it is to amuse you.
Before 1714, the Kingdom of Sereen didn't know that a demon popped out of there, and a Silver Flame Sect was created.
"Uh, maybe it's some of the Demon Lord's subordinates?"
Master Sandrei himself was confused, but it was certain that it had anything to do with the terrible place of the [Abyssal Abyss], because the creature [Abyssal Evil Raven] was an endemic species that lived there.
Everyone looked at each other, fortunately, it wasn't the Demon Lord himself who came out to wander, although for them, there is no substantial difference between an ordinary demon and a Demon Lord, it is a death after all, but the psychological pressure is not so great, what if it is just a little cowardice summoned by Bussomys? Maybe everyone can still give it a go.
"Maybe we have to go to the top of Qingping Mountain first, the only teleportation circle on the Endless Island is there, but because the mages who control the teleportation circle can't fully grasp the [Nether Circle], whether they teleport out or teleport in, they can't determine the landing point. However, the mage regiment in charge of controlling the teleportation circle is stationed there, and I think we should be able to find it."
Master Shanderui said distressedly: "And I have a vague impression of the name 'Voditgeng', but"
What else can they say? Isn't it good to blame Master Sandree, whose brain has turned to dust, to remember his surname?
Looking up at the towering mountains, they were now actually at the foot of the so-called Qingping Mountain, that is, the peak covered with huge rock skulls, just looking at the mountain and running dead horses, trying to reach the top of this peak whose upper half was hidden in the clouds, it was estimated that they would have to climb for several days!
