Entering the city, the most striking thing is the two towering sword furnaces in the city, which are blazing with flames.

Hundreds of muscular men cast swords shirtless under the sword furnace, and the sound of striking iron was incessant.

I can't tell which year the architectural style in the city is, after all, it's otherworldly. The architectural style generally tends to be sturdy and reliable, and only the occasional spire and heavy eaves that deviate from one corner can be seen in the ingenuity of the architects.

Along the way, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted Zhijiang respectfully. Zhijiang took off his helmet and greeted everyone one by one with a beautiful smile. Her beautiful face and kind smile are very contagious, and she seems to know everyone here, and you can see that she is protecting her people from the bottom of her heart.

This is something that is almost impossible in an ancient setting.

In the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient times, slavery had not been abolished, and nobles were nobles.

"Sister Princess!" A little girl with pigtails in her hand screamed and chased after her.

"Yaya, you run slower and be careful of falling." Zhijiang hurriedly held her.

"This is a meat soup made by my mother, and I specially asked me to send it for the princess sister to taste." The little girl wanted to lift the large porcelain bowl.

Zhijiang accepted the porcelain bowl and smelled it with satisfaction, "It's really fragrant, and she deserves to be a beautiful aunt." Yaya, I took the meat soup, go back and thank you on behalf of my sister. ”

"Well, Sister Princess, please enjoy it. Yaya will tell her mother. ”

"That's good." Zhijiang pinched her little face.

Soon in front of the sword furnace, a young, strong, handsome and burly young man jumped down from the ten-meter high platform and landed easily.

Chen Longshi's eyelids jumped.

The young man glanced at the unfamiliar Chen Longshi and saluted Zhi Jiang respectfully, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you have gone to the king's tomb again." There is no need to risk such a dangerous thing yourself. If you are not careful, the whole royal city will only fall apart. If you insist on doing this, please take me with you next time. ”

Zhi Jiang looked at the young man in front of him, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Ou Lian, I will pay attention to my own safety." You don't have to, the task here is even more important. Uncle Ou is gone, and you are the only one left in the city who can forge swords. ”

"Even if I'm gone, there will be you in Zhenwang City, even if there is only one person left, I believe this place will continue forever. As long as one day the king's tomb can be completely erased by forging a divine sword, everyone can truly be free, and there is no need to shrink down like this. So the work you do is more important than going out into town to find out the intelligence. ”

"By the way, how is the swordsmithing going?"

Ou Lian wanted to ask something, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but suffocate, and shook his head bitterly: "I still can't find a way to smelt." ”

"We have worked hard to find the spar veins that have grown in the thousand-year-old Heavenly Pool, and these are the real sword stones. Qingli casts treasure, the color is like a green rainbow, and it can shine into day by night. If this stone is cast into a divine sword, the moon will look like a clear light shining all over the place, and the blade will be transformed into a god, and the fierce spirit will be killed. ”

"It's a pity that Ou Lian is not proficient in his studies, and he can't reach the realm of the ancestor Ou Yezi, and he can't even do the most basic smelting. I really have the trust of the princess, so please punish the princess. "When you say that, you have to kneel.

Zhi Jiang hurriedly supported him, "How could I punish you, forging the divine sword is not an overnight thing." I'm sure you'll find a way to forge a sword, and you don't have to be too yourself. If you need anything, just mention it to your father, and he will meet you. ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie is considerate."

Ou Lian stood up and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, may I ask who this is?" ”

Zhi Jiang introduced: "This is the demon slayer master I met on the road, Mr. Chen Longshi. Mr. Chen is also a native of my Chu State, and he has the ability to completely kill the immortal swordsman, so I specially invited him back. ”

Ou Lian looked at Chen Longshi vigilantly and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, outsiders are not credible. Don't trust others with just a word. ”

Zhi Jiang was a little unhappy and said: "Ou Lian, you are too rude, Mr. Chen is my favored guest, I will make my own judgment whether it is credible or not." After that, he turned to Chen Longshi and apologized: "Mr. Chen, please don't mind, Ou Lian is not a bad person, but he has a straight temper." ”

"Ou Lian, quickly apologize to the guest."

Ou Lian knew that Zhijiang looked weak, but she was not an ordinary weak princess who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she didn't dare to contradict her, "It's Ou Lian who has said more, please atone for your sins." ”

Chen Longshi waved his hand generously and said: "What a crime, I only see the good quality of Ou Shenjiang's loyalty and sharing worries for the Lord." Speaking of which, as a demon slayer, the purpose of my trip is the same as that of Guicheng, which is to completely solve the evil deeds under the tomb of King Chu. In the future, he may also fight side by side with Ou Shenjiang. ”

One of the most luxurious buildings in the city is the palace, which is also Zhijiang's home.

There is not even a single servant in this huge mansion. Serving tea and pouring water is such a thing, and Zhijiang has to do it himself.

Chen Longshi was surprised and asked, "Her Royal Highness the princess lives here alone?" ”

"There is also the Father, but he is very busy and often away from home. I remember when I was a child, there were many people in this family, my father, mother, brother and sister, and now they have all disappeared, and only I am left. She knew what Chen Longshi wanted to ask, "But don't worry, I'm not poor enough to do it myself." Someone will come to clean here every day, and there are still people to do laundry and cooking. ”

Chen Longshi took a sip of water and said lightly: "A woman is destined to fight against undead monsters since she came to this world, and it is indeed too hard. ”

"This is the fault of the ancestors, and there is always someone to make up for it. As long as the tomb of the King of Chu is still there, the bloodline of the nine-headed bird will never be able to enter the hall of reincarnation. This is God's punishment for us. If only my family suffered this calamity, half the country would have been dragged into hell, and in order to prevent the souls of our ancestors from suffering forever, we would have to fight endlessly. ”

Zhijiang's voice was as calm as ever, as if she was not telling her sad story.

"But it's a pity that after so many years of dedication to this place by my family and the entire inhabitants of the royal city, they have never been able to move forward even half a step. Maybe you will never understand the pain that will never be extinguished and eliminated. Even as the power of the tomb of the king of Chu grows stronger and stronger, it is no longer something that my town and the king city can resist. ”

With that, he looked at Chen Longshi with an inquiring gaze.

"Until I saw you today, the body of the immortal swordsman was completely destroyed."

Chen Longshi understood and said, "There should be many ways to completely destroy the bones. How to burn, or extinguish the fire of their souls? ”

"Not really. Those methods can't be killed, and you, if you really kill them, I can feel it. ”

Chen Longshi said: "Her Royal Highness the princess believes in me so much, an outsider who has just arrived here for less than an hour? ”

Zhi Jiang shook his head, his face was a little sad, and said, "That's not the case.

Understanding and trusting is a mutual process, and as you have seen, my palace does not have too many soldiers and horses, so why do the people of the whole city respect me and are even willing to live and die with me? ”

Chen Longshi said: "This is the credit of Corporal Princess Lixian?" ”

"Definitely. Because we are all grasshoppers on a rope, the fate of everyone in the city is closely related to the tomb of King Chu.

Their ancestors were dragged into the tomb of the underground king by the tyrant, and if the tyrant could be resurrected one day, the first to suffer was that the descendants of those who accompanied the burial would be the first to be eradicated. No matter where the world is, the fear of death has never disappeared. ”

"How would you feel if you were in our realm and suddenly discovered an existence that could destroy undead monsters forever?"

Chen Longshi said: "Grab the last straw? ”

"It's a bad thing to say, but that's exactly what it is." Zhijiang simply admitted it.

Chen Longshi pinched his chin and said in his heart, the real situation here seems to be very different from the game in his previous life. At least talking to people, it's not something that low-level AI could do in the previous life. If you follow the game strategy of his previous life, which was also the plan before he came in, he should now find the tomb of the king of Chu and brush it wildly. Then gradually clear all the levels one by one, and finally successfully clear the dungeon.

Now, because of the existence of swallowing, it has become a little different.

Looking at the trial evaluation of the sword talisman on his arm, the progress has reached 10%.

But what did he do during this time?

It's just a battle with the princess, and that bit of experience is at most 2% progress.

And the extra evaluations now are obviously because of the inexplicable trust brought by the ability to destroy the undead.

In that case, then what is there to hesitate about.

Chen Longshi said decisively: "Thank you for your trust, Your Royal Highness the Princess. To tell you the truth, before coming to the tomb of King Chu, I did some investigation. Does the princess know where the key to breaking the tomb of King Chu is? ”

Zhi Jiang said: "Isn't it the casting of the divine sword?" ”

"Of course, the Divine Sword is the most important, but now the Divine Sword has not been successfully cast for a long time, is it really because Ou Shenjiang is not proficient? May I ask the princess, whether Ou Lian's ancestor Ou Yezi was also dragged into the cemetery world by the king of Chu to be buried. ”

Zhi Jiang was a little puzzled: "There is no way to verify this kind of thing, Ou Yezi's predecessors have always seen the beginning and the end." Even the King of Chu may not be able to find him, maybe his old man is still living in seclusion somewhere in the world. ”

"No, according to the information I have received, it is very likely that Ou Yezi's predecessors have also been dragged into the underground king's tomb." Chen Longshi said: "The key now is not to fight, but to be confident. The warriors of the city have been fighting against the undead monsters for years, but the monsters are getting bigger and bigger. It has not collapsed until now, and it is only with a sense of confidence in the Hydra family that it has been sustained until now. ”

Although Ou Lian's words were not good, there was one sentence that was not wrong. Once the Nine-Headed Bird Family is cut off from the inheritance, this huge town will really fall apart. ”

Zhi Jiang was a little dazed and said, "In Mr.'s opinion, what should I do now?" Mr. Ou Yezi's predecessors, what is the reason? ”

"Regarding Ou Yezi's predecessors, please forgive me for selling it first." Chen Longshi walked up to the princess and said softly, "What we need to do most now is to give everyone hope." ”

"Hope?"

"Yes. Be able to kill the undead monster and bulldoze the hope of the tomb of the King of Chu. ”
