Chapter 129, Old Dao Guwen
The ice stone tower is made of black boulders, the whole is cylindrical, and the diameter of the bottom is about 10 meters, which looks like a round castle from a distance, and it looks particularly eye-catching in the ice and snow shijie.
With a creak, the heavy oak door was pushed open, and a beam of light shot into the tower, bringing a ray of light to the dark space; The whistling sound of the wind and snow also took advantage of the void to break the silence in the tower.
Walking into the tower, the Boots of Misery stepped on the solid stone slabs, making a crisp footstep. Just a few steps away, the door behind him slammed shut, the wind and snow were blocked out, and the tower returned to peace. Lu Yun turned around and took a look, and there was nothing abnormal in the dark vision.
"Damn, it's like a ghost movie." He grumbled, and when he turned around again, he saw a pair of turquoise eyes in front of him, staring straight at him. On closer inspection, it was not an eye, but a glimmer of soul fire burning in the skull. Standing in his way was a skeleton!
Suddenly encountering such a thing, a cold air rushed up from the vest, Lu Yun did not hesitate at all, and pulled out the blood-drinking sword with a bang, the white light flashed, and the sword light slashed on the skeleton in front of him. After four companies, the skeleton staggered back two steps, scattering into a pile of broken bones.
"Who are you?" Just as Lu Yun was soothing his mind, an old and dry voice sounded from behind him. He turned around, but there was no one to be seen. "Weishenme wants to kill my talisman spirit?" The voice sounded behind him again.
Fu Soul is an assistant summoned by a Taoist priest. From the man's words, it can be heard that he should be the master of this place, the old Taoist priest Gu Wen. Lu Yun hurriedly replied: "I was entrusted by someone to come to meet the old gentleman." I'm sorry for the mistake of killing your talisman by mistake. ”
With a "whew", the tower lit up. Looking up, a lamp with many candles burning hung in the air, a shape similar to the large lamp group in the European magic shijie.
Looking straight ahead, there is a bookcase next to the stone wall, which displays many books. Next to the bookcase, an old man in a gray robe sat quietly watching him.
"This tower originally belonged to the Ice and Snow Clan." Maybe it was because he saw Lu Yun's surprise, Old Gu Wen explained.
Lu Yun coughed lightly, walked in front of Gu Wen, his gaze swept over him, and looked at him by the way. This old man looked to be nearly seventy years old, his hair and beard were all white, and his old face was covered with traces of time. The robes on his body were very old, and some of them were white. However, a silver moon mark on his chest was very clear.
While Lu Yun was looking at Lao Dao, Lao Dao also looked at him carefully, and then said in an old voice: "I have been living in seclusion for hundreds of years, why do you still want to disturb my purity?" ”
After organizing some words in his heart, Lu Yun opened his mouth and replied: "Old man, I have been entrusted by someone to ask you to prepare the antidote to the Ice Spirit Xuanyin Gu, and please help." ”
"Ice Spirit Xuanyin Gu?" Lao Dao's old face trembled slightly, "Who was poisoned by this?" ”
Lu Yun replied: "It's a general of the North Wind Fortress, he was seriously injured in order to eliminate the ice and snow banshee in the ice crystal woodland, and his life was hanging by a thread, and he asked the old gentleman to rescue!" ”
"It's the North Wind Guards again!" The gray robe on Lao Dao's body fluctuated sharply, "You guards, all of you are obsessed, and you all want to fight the idea of the Snow Ice Palace. Hmph, I warned them a long time ago that it is impossible for mortals to obtain that kind of liliang. They just didn't listen, and what a disaster they are to blame for today! ”
At the mention of the North Wind Guard, Lao Dao was very excited, which made Lu Yun feel very stunned. The meaning of the old man's words seems to know some of the truth about this Ice Palace mutation, and he is an important clue! So he asked: "Old man, listening to what you say, it seems that you know the truth about the change in the Ice Palace, please tell me!" ”
Lao Dao snorted heavily: "Boy, in the name of preparing the antidote, you actually want to ask Lao Dao about the secrets of the Ice Palace, don't you?" ”
Lu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "The old gentleman misunderstood. Below, in fact, it is not the people of the North Wind Guard. Glancing at the Silver Moon Mark on his chest, he said, "Actually, I was ordered by the Lord of Silver Moon City, Feng Qingyang, to investigate the truth about the change in the Ice Palace. ”
"You said you were an emissary from Silvermoon City, and I ...... Why believe you? ”
"Perhaps, you can check this out!" Lu Yun took out the token of the clear wind and handed it to Gu Wen. After seeing this token, a trace of surprise flashed in Gu Wen's eyes, he looked up at Lu Yun and said slowly, "Put it away." Hmph, Silvermoon City, you haven't forgotten this land yet! ”
Retracting the token, Lu Yun said again: "Please tell me, old gentleman, the Ice Palace has been banned for thousands of years, why did it suddenly change?" ”
"For the sake of you being an envoy of Silvermoon City, I'll tell you." Old Gu Wen exhaled heavily, and told Lu Yun some history of the Ice Palace, and most of what he told was consistent with what Feng Qingyang said. However, there is one thing that Feng Qingyang did not say.
In that year, the Ice and Snow Clan was defeated, and the Emperor of the Ice Palace signed an armistice treaty with the human race, banning the Snow Ice Palace and never violating the human Shijie. However, humans can never set foot in the snowy ice palace. Otherwise, the ban will be lifted automatically, and the Ice Clan will awaken and take revenge on the humans.
From this story, Lu Yun obtained an important information: someone broke into the Snow Ice Palace, so that the ban was automatically lifted, and the Ice and Snow Clan believed that the human race had broken the armistice agreement, and in order to retaliate against the human race, they attacked the North Wind Fortress.
"Who broke into the Snowy Ice Palace and caused this mutation?"
Once again, Gwenn let out a heavy cry: "About a month ago, a man came here to meet me, and he claimed to be from the Fortress of the North Wind. He asked me many secrets about the Ice Palace, and at that time, I was unaware of his ambitions, so I told him everything. When I found out he was coveting the power of ice and snow, it was too late to regret it. ”
"The power of ice?" Lu Yun found something intriguing from it.
A hint of alarm appeared on Gu Wen's face: "Don't you want to ask for clues about the power of ice and snow. He shook his head and muttered, "The power of ice and snow is the divine power bestowed by the gods on the ice and snow clan. It is impossible for mortals to withstand this kind of divine power, it is self-defeating! ”
Lao Dao refused to say it, Lu Yun was a little disappointed in his heart, and it could be seen from his previous words that this power of ice and snow must be a very good thing. "Perhaps, it's impossible for players to get this kind of thing." He comforted himself and asked, "Old man, are you sure that person is from the North Wind Fortress and is a soldier of the North Wind Guard?" ”
Gu Wen nodded: "Lao Dao has lived here for hundreds of years and knows everything here. That man was wearing the armor of the North Wind Guard, and he couldn't be wrong. Moreover, he has a high status in the North Wind Guard. ”
Judging from the time when the ice palace changed, this high-ranking general is the most suspicious. Lu Yun continued to ask: "If we meet again, will the old gentleman still be able to recognize this person?" ”
Gu Wen shook his head: "When he came, he wore a mask on his face, I don't know what he looks like. His voice was very strange, very hoarse, not like the voice of a normal person. Later, I realized that he was deliberately hiding his identity. ”
That person acted so carefully, he must have already had a comprehensive jihua, and it is estimated that it is not easy to deal with. Lu Yun sighed lightly, this task seems to be very long. There are still some key links that have not been unlocked, just like the power of ice and snow. However, this trip was not in vain. At least, one thing was clear to him now, something was wrong inside the Borean Fortress!
Speaking of this, some of the things that Lao Dao knew had already been said, and Lu Yun revisited the antidote to the Ice Spirit Xuanyin Gu.
"You just killed my talisman." A sly smile appeared on Lao Dao's face, "Let's talk about compensation first." ”
"How do I need to be compensated?"
"10 gold coins." Lao Dao smirked, "Recently, my life has been very poor, and you came at the right time." ”
No matter how you look at it, Lu Yun feels that Lao Dao is smiling very treacherously. He even began to suspect that the old man had deliberately made a skeleton to scare him, forcing him to kill the skeleton and then claim compensation. However, 10 gold coins are not enough for him now, just like the original 10 copper plates. Therefore, he still happily gave the old man 10 gold coins.
Bite! System Prompt: Your generosity has deeply touched Gu Wen, and his opinion of you has increased by 30.
Seeing this hint, Lu Yun sneered, this old man, with 10 gold coins, he can increase his favorability by 30 points, compared with the drunkard in Rin Feng Town, he has no discipline.
Lao Dao put the gold coin in his hand and turned it upside down: "Thinking that you are a messenger from Silver Moon City, this time, I will help you prepare some antidotes." Remember, don't go for the idea of fighting the power of ice. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
After Lu Yun agreed, the old man took him to the third layer and prepared 10 antidotes for him. Looking at the 10 medicine bottles in his hand, Lu Yun's eyebrows jumped twice: "Do you need 10 bottles of antidote to remove that poison?" ”
Lao Dao replied: "One bottle is enough." ”
Lu Yun was speechless, he dared to love Tiezhan that thing was playing with him, only one serving of Xuanyin grass was enough for detoxification, and that product actually asked him to pick 10 Xuanyin grass, and he really wanted to smoke him twice.
After looking at the time, there are still more than forty minutes left in the task time. The return journey takes more than half an hour, which should be in time. Bidding farewell to Gu Wen, Lu Yun opened the wooden door of the Ice Stone Tower. "Whew!" A cold air hit his face, and the wind and snow took the opportunity to get in, pulling his clothes and making a hunting sound. As soon as he took a few steps, the wooden door behind him slammed shut.
Descending the steps, several players appear in front of him, blocking his path. There were a total of four people on the other side, all of whom belonged to the Proud Family, and one of them was a samurai, dressed in outstanding armor, and held a spear glowing with purple light in his hand, which was actually an excellent level. Therefore, Lu Yun paid special attention to him and immediately scanned his information.
The man's ID was "Brilliant Nebula", a level 42 samurai. This level is definitely a celebrity on the rating list. Lu Yun immediately called up the ranking list and found out this person's information: he is currently ranked 17th in Donghao Kingdom!
Seeing Lu Yun's calm look, Bright Nebula sneered, raised the excellent spear in his hand, and pointed it at him.
