Chapter 115
The ruins of Kataya, the hometown of the Star Officer player, is also the quest location indicated on the second page of the illustration.
Xia Mo walked to the designated coordinates, and a translucent shadow flew over quickly.
"Human, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The one who opened the illusion for her in this level was an undead. After saying the first sentence, he asked her if she was ready.
Xia Mo nodded, indicating that he was ready.
Her vision quickly darkened, and just as she was wondering what the scene would become, she suddenly saw crosses standing up one after another at her feet, tilted and looking quite eerie.
cemetery.
Xia Mo reacted immediately and realized that the illusion scene had turned into a cemetery, and it was night time.
As expected, physical training tasks are not easy. She couldn't help but sigh, then raised her foot and observed while walking.
As usual, she should need to deal with the monsters that broke into this place, just like when she was in Blade's Edge Fjord just now, she had to defeat several rounds of snowman monsters before she could pass the level.
But this time, no matter how she wandered around the cemetery, she didn't find any trace of the monster.
That's strange, doesn't this level require her to fight?
How is that possible!
Thinking about the fact that this game is very competitive, Xia Mo immediately rejected this idea that sounded impossible.
But she had no other ideas at the moment, so she had no choice but to find a cross that looked relatively sturdy, sit on the ground, lean against it, and wait for follow-up.
Time passed bit by bit, and the color of the sky gradually changed from dark blue to inky black, and then suddenly began to turn white, as if there were some stars shining in the distance.
Wait, the sky isn't the right color!
Xia Mo, who had done several stargazing missions, keenly noticed that some changes were happening in the sky. She stood up suddenly from the ground, raised her head, and wanted to take a closer look. Suddenly, dense swarms of undead emerged from the ground around her.
They screamed and ran towards a certain direction of the cemetery.
A meteor streaked across the sky, illuminating a small part of the cemetery. With this little light, Xia Mo could see clearly that these undead spirits that ran out of the cemetery belonged to the same species as the one she had just talked to.
They all had similar markings on their foreheads, except that the one that received her had a larger pattern on its forehead.
Probably their leader, she thought randomly in her mind, and a clear child's voice sounded under her.
"Human sister, can you help my mother?"
Xia Mo lowered his head and saw a little boy with chubby eyes. Not far from him, a woman with disabled legs was lying on the ground. Judging from the woman's appearance, she should be the little boy's mother.
She hurried over and squatted down: "I'll help you."
"Thank you, human girl."
The woman looked at her gratefully and entrusted herself to Xia Mo with trust.
Although these "people" are undead, Xia Mo can touch them, but the touch feels a little cold and light, not as real as touching a person.
But fortunately, they were very light to carry, and Xia Mo ran out of the cemetery with the woman on his back, without slowing down his pace at all.
It turned out that there was a map outside the cemetery, but she didn't see it because the view was too dark before.
On the other side of the cemetery, after leading the mother and child through the rusty iron gate, a building that was very familiar to her appeared before her.
——Astrology Tower.
No, in this fantasy world, it shouldn't be called the Astrology Tower. After Xia Mo brought the woman and the little boy inside, he asked them, "What is the name of this building?"
The woman held the little boy's hand and shook her head. "It doesn't have a name, but whenever something strange happens in the sky, we undead will come in to hide. It seems those falling stars don't dare to approach this building, so we're safe hiding here."
"Human, could you please move aside for a moment?"
While talking to the woman, a young boy's voice suddenly came from behind him. Xia Mo quickly turned around and his vision met the speaker's.
The person who spoke was none other than the male undead who opened the illusion for her.
However, he looked a little different from what he saw outside the illusion. In the illusion, he looked a little immature.
However, although he is young, he is indeed the head of the clan, because Xia Mo discovered that he was the only one with a scepter in his hand, and he was constantly commanding the undead in the cemetery to run towards the Astrology Tower.
"Hurry up Allah! Take your mother-in-law into the tower!"
"Uncle Baker, come this way! There's an entrance this way!"
"Everyone, hurry up, the thunder is coming soon!"
Thunder from the sky...
Xia Mo caught the key words.
It seems that these undead spirits are afraid of thunder from the sky. Whenever strange phenomena occur in the sky, they have to hide in the astrology tower to survive.
Realizing that this might be her mission this time, she immediately headed towards the cemetery.
"I'll carry your grandfather. I know where the tower is."
"Sister, hold on to me. I'll take you to hide in the tower."
…
Over and over again, she raced against time, successfully bringing batches of wandering undead back to the Astrology Tower.
Standing at the tower gate, she loudly asked everyone, "Is there anyone whose family hasn't entered the tower yet? Tell me, I'll go find them!"
Although they didn't know her and were not part of their undead clan, they had seen her bring in groups of companions. Now the undead trusted her very much and raised their hands to call out the names of those who had not yet entered the tower.
"Cross No. 23, Uncle Root doesn't seem to have come in yet!"
"Cross No. 87, woo woo woo, kind human, could you please check if the old lady next door is still there?"
"Oh, Miko, he doesn't look like he's here either!"
There were still many undead who had not entered the tower. Xia Mo gritted his teeth, turned around and ran into the endless night again.
At this moment, white light suddenly appeared, illuminating the dark night.
Oh no! Thunder is coming!
Xia Mo was shocked. Before she could react, she saw a spherical ball of light falling from the sky not far from her. With a bang, it exploded in an instant!
Ice protection!
No matter how fast a person is, he can never be faster than the speed of light. Xia Mo did not escape, but chose to save his life and block the exploding light ball outside.
The physical setting of "Protoss" is extremely realistic, so realistic that Xia Mo can clearly feel that this wave of light is even more terrifying than the attack of the Dragon Valley Dragon!
The stretched ice shook violently under the shock wave, causing the surface of her skin to tremble. It was obviously a thick layer, but under the impact of the light ball, it was as fragile as a piece of glass that could break at any time.
Snap!
Just as she was getting worried, she saw the ice actually crack in the middle!
There was no time to dodge, and the continuous shock wave passed through the gap and hit her face!
-12000!
The number of tens of thousands instantly reduced her health bar to half.
Even though she was prepared, she couldn't help but curse, "Damn, what the hell is this thunder ghost light ball? It's too destructive!"
After quickly giving himself a big red medicine, Xia Mo turned around and prepared to continue saving the souls in the cemetery.
However, in the cemetery swept by the explosion, there was no trace of a single dead soul. Instead, there were only charred crosses, smoking earth, and the dead silence of the night...
Xia Mo's heart skipped a beat. No way, could she have failed in her mission just like that?
She didn't really want to accept this result, but since the illusion hadn't kicked her out yet, she decided to keep searching.
"Wow, Miko brother, wake up!"
Behind a small mound, Xia Mo suddenly heard crying. She went over and found that there were indeed several undead, young and old, hiding behind the mound, as well as their leader, Miko.
In this version, he is still very young, holding a little girl in his arms. Because of his protection, the little girl is unharmed, but he himself is half killed by the ball of light.
Fortunately, he was half dead, not completely dead. Xia Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if the leader died, her mission would definitely fail.
Xingguan couldn't treat him, so she had to give Miko red medicine to see if she could bring his blood back.
Fortunately, the human potion also worked on the undead. Miko woke up and saw that it was her who saved him. He said weakly, "Thank you, human."
No need to thank me, Xia Mo thought, after all, if you die, my mission will be over.
"Let's go. The thunder is still falling. It's important for everyone to get back to the tower."
Everyone nodded, and Xia Mo led the way.
After the experience with the wave of light balls just now, whenever Xia Mo saw lightning flashing in the sky, she would immediately stop everyone and ask them to lie down to minimize the impact area of the light balls.
Although some blood will still be lost, compared with 12,000 points, this loss is nothing.
It took everyone 15 minutes of hard walking to get back to the tower.
Once the tower door is closed, no matter how strong the thunderstorm is, the tower will remain safe.
Xia Mo leaned against the pillar and waited for a while. Strangely, she did not leave the illusion.
This means the mission is still ongoing.
Xia Mo was a little confused about what the plan was this time, so she had to continue waiting for the system to send her a message.
"Hello human, my name is Miko, I'm the leader here, what's yours?"
While waiting, Miko walked up to her and asked her.
"Ink color."
Seeing her calm expression, Miko was curious: "You are human, why would you come to the place where we, the undead, live?"
Xia Mo thought for a moment and said, "I took the wrong road."
Miko didn't doubt him and said regretfully, "You are really unlucky tonight. You were caught in a thunderstorm."
Taking advantage of the fact that they couldn't leave, Xia Mo followed up on his words and asked, "It looks like you've lived here for a long time?"
Miko shook his head: "Not that long, maybe just over ten years."
More than ten years, which means that this cemetery has only been excavated for this period of time.
The predecessor of the Cartaya ruins was actually a cemetery. This was the first time Xia Mo heard about it. Since she didn't know this historical line and had nothing to do, she continued to inquire.
"Well, let me ask you something. Who is the current king?"
As if hearing a very surprising question, Miko half opened his mouth with an expression of disbelief: "Aren't you a human? How could you not know who your current king is?"
Xia Mo remained calm and collected: "I've lived outside the mainland for many years and just returned a few days ago, so I'm not too sure."
——On the art of lying.
Miko suddenly realized: "No wonder you were lost, it turns out you came back from outside the mainland..."
She didn't need to say much. As a qualified NPC, Miko had already filled in her words with his own imagination.
"The current king is Godofredo, the third king of the Pergas continent."
When it comes to the name "Godofredo", most players probably have no impression of him, but when it comes to [the third king of the continent], Xia Mo can guarantee that at least half of the players know this famous existence.
In the pre-server launch promotional video, Godofredo, as the second NPC to appear, left a deep impression on many people.
But this profoundness is not because of his great achievements or how much he is loved by the people, but because he is the most cruel tyrant in the history of the continent of Pergas.
