The morning fog filled the entire Tabak Town, the low old houses kept shivering in the whistling cold wind, like old people in the twilight, most of the low-level leveling areas near the Tabak Town, after the players leveled up, they all left here and went to other places, making the entire Tabak Town look exceptionally deserted, and there were only three or three low-level players busy nearby on the street.

After a long journey, Xiao Yu finally returned to the place where he was born, although he only left for a few days, he returned here again, everything here is so familiar and nostalgic, looking at these familiar buildings, Xiao Yu felt a lot of emotion in his heart, his journey began here.

"Mentor Odeh, I'm here to take on the mission." Xiao Yu said to the thief mentor Aode, who was resting on the bench, his body did not feel a trace of life, if it weren't for the faint breath, Xiao Yu would have thought he had hung up.

Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, the thief mentor Aode opened his eyes, and his cloudy gaze gradually focused on Xiao Yu's body.

"You've reached level 15, and the stealth level is still a bit low, if you practice to level six, you can take on the next task." The thief mentor Aode narrowed his eyes and said, I don't know why, there is always a trace of Xiao Yu's eyes in the thief mentor Aode's eyes.

Xiao Yu remembered that his stealth skill was only level five, and after looking at the skill proficiency, there was still a big difference, Xiao Yu was quite depressed, and if the stealth level was not enough, it meant that he could not take the task yet.

"Before the mission, you can first go and survey the outer terrain of the mission site, and by the way, exercise your stealth skills, take it, this is the mission map." Mentor Aode, the thief mentor, tossed Xiao Yu a somewhat torn map and said.

Xiao Yu took the map in the hands of the thief mentor Aode, this map does not know how many years it has passed, and there are many places that have been missing.

"It's not going to be a treasure map or something." Xiao Yu thought about the map, and slowly spread out the map, which was full of zigzag lines, and in the center of the map, an ancient temple was drawn.

Seeing Xiao Yu intently looking at this map, the thief mentor Aode said leisurely: "This is a sacrificial temple of the Gude people, thousands of years ago, the Gude people were the original inhabitants of Diya, but I don't know why, the Gude people who lived in this desert thousands of years ago suddenly disappeared, leaving only the remains of this temple, more than ten years ago, my brother and I used this ancient map to find the temple in the desert, and explored the center of the temple, and obtained a lot of information in the temple, so I learned about this temple." ”

The thief mentor Aode was very calm when he told this story, maybe Xiao Yu was too sensitive, and he always felt that there was a desolate and sad taste in the tone of the thief mentor Aode.

"What am I going to do?" Xiao Yu asked cautiously, looking at the thief mentor Aode, the thief mentor Aode's expression was always so lazy, squinting his eyes, but his eyes were misty, as if he was trying to recall the story of the past.

"The content of the quest is to find the core altar of the temple, there is a round red energy crystal in the center of the altar, pierce this dagger into the energy crystal, and your mission is completed." Mentor Aode said, "After you survey the perimeter of the temple, I can assist you in entering the temple, but I can't get close to the altar, and the matter of entering the altar to pierce the energy crystal can only be done by you." ”

Mentor Odd took out a dagger with a silver scabbard, this dagger was extremely delicately made, and extremely short, the shape was somewhat similar to Xiao Yu's escape dagger, and at the back end of the dagger, the pattern of a silver-horned unicorn was engraved, and the dagger exuded a mysterious power outward.

Xiao Yu took the dagger from the thief mentor Aode, stroked the lines on the back of the dagger, and a warm stream of heat flowed into Xiao Yu's body along his fingers.

"Why can I enter the altar?" Xiao Yu looked into the eyes of the thief mentor Aode and asked, this question made Xiao Yu a little puzzled, why the thief mentor Aode couldn't enter, but he could, why did the thief mentor Aode give him this task? He tried to find the answer in the eyes of the thief mentor Aode, and there was no doubt that Xiao Yu had failed, and there was nothing but sadness and pain in the eyes of the thief mentor Aode. There seem to be too many mysteries in this mission.

"Every human being can enter the altar in the center of the temple." Mentor Elder said.

Xiao Yu carefully savored the words of the thief mentor Aode, there is a different meaning in the words of the thief mentor Aode, every human can enter the altar in the center of the temple, but why can't the thief mentor Aode?

As if seeing the doubts in Xiao Yu's heart, the thief mentor Aode smiled desolate and said, "Because I'm not human. ”

Xiao Yu's heart froze, the thief mentor Aode is not a human, so what is he? It's a bit too bizarre.

The Mentor of the Thieves, Odd, spread out his left hand, which had been clenched tightly, and there was a red spot in the palm of his left hand, and there was a red vein in this spot that led to his arm, and the red blood flowed in this vein, and the bright red blood in it was clearly visible.

"This is the curse of the Guds, once this curse is hit, the soul of the person who is cast will be imprisoned, and then gradually turn into a half-human lich, if I remember correctly, I still have a month to go, and after a month, my soul will be completely eroded and become a lich who only knows how to kill." Mentor Elder said.

Looking at the clearly visible blood vessels, Xiao Yu's heart was shocked, Xiao Yu thought that he was just taking on an ordinary task, such as collecting something, killing some NPCs or monsters, etc., but he didn't expect this task to have such complicated content.

"This dagger in your hand is the key, if you can't pierce the energy crystal in the center of the altar, then use it to pierce my chest, so that my soul can also be transcended." Mentor of the Thieves, Odd, spoke of these things in a calm and calm tone, as if he were not the one who was about to die.

"Could it be that these NPCs are some guys who are not afraid of death?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but mutter, stroking the dagger in his hand, this dagger emitted a trace of mysterious power, making Xiao Yu feel unusually comfortable.

Xiao Yu pulled out some of the dagger, a sharp cold light flashed, and suddenly, the blade of the dagger emitted a blazing white light, illuminating the entire low wooden house.

Then, the thief mentor Aode let out a terrible scream, Xiao Yu saw the thief mentor Aode's left arm, and was immediately startled, under the light of the white light, the thief mentor Aode's left hand gradually dissolved, and the flesh and blood were like a pile of mud.

"Hurry up and put the dagger away." Mentor Odd yelled anxiously.

Xiao Yu hurriedly inserted the dagger into the scabbard, the white light paused, and the thief mentor Aode's left hand stopped dissolving, and gradually began to return to its original state, and changed back to its original withered appearance.

"What kind of mission is this, it's too mysterious." Xiao Yu looked at the restored left arm of the thief mentor Aode, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
