"Who is it? Come out!" Colliver shouted, the sword in his hand filled with fighting spirit.
"Hehe... Don't be afraid or panic. I have no ill will towards you. On the contrary, I have something to ask of you."
"Hmph. You claim you have no ill will towards us if you hide from us. Do you think we will believe you if you say that?" He increased the lighting technique in his hand once again, and the tomb was illuminated as if it were daytime.
"I hope you won't be afraid when I come out!" As the words fell, a ghost floated up from Justin's coffin.
"It's a ghost!" When he saw what came out, Masi suddenly shouted and used the fighting spirit in his body to protect the three people tightly with the help of the big shield.
"Little guys, don't be afraid. I really have no ill will towards you, because I am your friend's father." The ghost was afraid that the four people on the opposite side would rush up regardless of everything, so he hurried to explain.
"Who are you kidding! I don't know the father of one of us, and you dare to pretend to be Caitlin. Purify him quickly." Colliver was almost furious.
"Little guy, I really am your friend's father, the man named Lin you are looking for." The ghost had no choice but to keep explaining in the hope that they would calm down.
"Don't be in a hurry even if you want to purify me. It's not too late to purify after I finish talking. I can tell you what happened to your friend." The ghost obviously increased his speaking speed, hoping to explain some things clearly.
"How do you prove that you are his father? If you really are his father, why didn't you show up when we were in danger?" Caitlin grabbed Colliver and asked him back.
"It's a long story. I don't know if you've ever heard him mention it. I left shortly after he was born. It wasn't until he was 21 years old that I saw him grow up for the first time."
"I think what he said might be true, because we never mentioned age in the Misty Mountains, and he actually knows Lin's age." Ma Xi said seriously.
"These things are not enough to convince us!" Caitlin and the others are all veterans, so naturally they would not trust the words of a ghost so quickly.
"His name is Lin Xingchen, and he is from Maple Leaf Territory. His grandfather is called Green, and he is the Duke of the Kingdom of Kulma. I don't know if what I said can prove my identity."
"Why do you insist that we believe you? You have to know that Lin's identity has never been told to us, and we don't know whether what you said is true or not." Caitlin asked with a frown.
"I hope you can help me deliver a few letters. The recipient is Duke Green, the lord of Maple Leaf Territory. The reason why I want you to trust me is so that you don't rush to find Lin. He goes to a place that ordinary people can't go to. Only if you find his grandfather can you have a chance to save him."
"Have you been looking for the undead Justin? He ran away when it was dark after you left, and I only dared to show myself after he left."
"If he hadn't left, we wouldn't have had the chance to meet. Do you think a sixth-level light magician can defeat a ninth-level necromancer? That's simply impossible."
"Actually, you were brought here by Lin, and he was brought here by me. I used some special mental magic to enter his dream and led him here. I originally wanted to meet him, but something went wrong in the end, which led to the current situation." The ghost said this with a sad face.
"If you are his father, why did you lure him here to harm him?" Caitlin was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her fur immediately stood up.
"When you become parents, perhaps you will understand my thoughts! Well, time is running out and I can't keep going like this for much longer. I'll tell you now, and if you have any questions, ask me later." The undead quickly recounted his experiences.
“My name is Kahn Xingchen, and Lin’s mother’s name is Camilla Eddie. Due to some reasons, I gave Lin to my father Green to take care of after he was born, and went alone to find a way to rescue my wife.
But unfortunately I didn't find it until the moment I was killed. When I was dying, I had to use secret methods to keep myself alive as a ghost. At that time, Justin was still sleeping in this coffin, so he didn't find my existence. "
"While I was clinging to this coffin, I accidentally learned of a conspiracy, a crisis concerning the survival of the entire continent. Unfortunately, I had no way to transmit the message. It was not until Lin and you came that I saw hope."
"How do you know Lin is your child?" Colliver hit the point home.
"My family has a unique bloodline. You should know that it is the bloodline of the high elves. Therefore, we have a special sense of blood."
"Let me tell you something now. There are three letters in the book at the bottom right corner of the first bookshelf.
These were all written by me through special methods over the years. There is also a ring inside which is a token of my Star Clan. You can take it to Maple Leaf Territory to find my father Green.
After he reads the letter, he will know about me, and I also need to tell him one thing: Lin doesn't need to look for him, and his life will not be in danger.
It may take a long time for me to come back, so you must take my words and letters to Maple Leaf Territory, and you must..." Kahn's speech speed became faster and faster, and the ghost's body became thinner and thinner. After the last sentence, the ghost disappeared without a trace like smoke in the breeze.
"What should we do?" The four of them looked at each other and finally spoke at the same time.
"I think what this ghost said might be true. After all, it is not a comfortable thing to be directly exposed to your light magic. Moreover, he even gave up the last way of survival just to get our help. He must have his reasons." Although his presence is usually low, the other three people will basically not refute him as long as Masi speaks.
"Since he is Lin's father, he will not lie to us about Lin's life or death. Now we only have two choices. The first is to believe the ghost's words, find the letter and the token, and go find Lin's grandfather.
The second option is to not believe him, we can just clean up this place and go to Maple Leaf Territory to tell Lin's grandfather what happened to him."
"Marcy, I think what you said is a bit contradictory. Whether it is the first or the second, it cannot avoid Duke Green. Why not choose them together?" Colliver curled his lips and refuted.
"If one day someone tells you that your son unfortunately passed away, and then when he is sad you tell him that your grandson unfortunately passed away in order to save us, what do you think you will feel?"
"Uh..." Something seemed to be wrong.
"Caitlin, you are the leader, you make the decision!" In the end, there was no way to push the problem to the leader.
"Let's find the letters and keepsakes first to see if they are real or fake," the four of them came to the first bookshelf and found three letters and a ring in the books in the lower right corner as Kahn said.
Looking at the two things in their hands, Caitlin and others had to clean up the things in the tomb before leaving.
It took the four of them nearly two months to get out of the Misty Mountains. The moment they walked out of the mountains, they all lay on the ground and refused to move.
"Huh... We finally got out of this damn place. Fortunately, we are only in the outermost circle. If we were in the inner circle or the center, we would have been dead to the ground."
"Even the outskirts are full of dangers. I didn't know there were so many monsters here. If it weren't for these books, we wouldn't have to take risks so many times." Colliver said as he kicked the books in the big cloth bag a few times.
"These books are treasures, and Lin loves books very much. If we take them back, he will definitely be very happy to see them when he comes back in the future." Marcy directly denied Colliver's point of view.
"Okay, let's take a break and then leave here and rush to Maple Leaf Territory to find Lin's grandfather as quickly as possible." Caitlin and the others took a break and then walked forward, each carrying the other on his back.
Fortunately, after walking for four days, they finally met a caravan. They took out enough money and showed Colliver his identity as the son of a duke, and finally got a carriage.
Although one carriage could not meet the needs of four people, at least they did not have to walk anymore and they could buy another one at the next stop. The four of them rode at full speed and finally entered Maple Leaf Territory in the wind and snow.
"Ah...it's all your fault. I told you to hurry up, but you refused. Now we've finally arrived in such a heavy snow. Next time I won't listen to your blind orders." Colliver was trembling all over and driving the carriage while cursing.
"Okay, stop arguing. We're already at Maple Leaf Territory and we can have a good rest soon." When Caitlin's roar came from the carriage, Clive immediately became timid.
The fact that they were still traveling in the snow and wind naturally attracted the attention of Maple Leaf's guards, and a team of people stopped the four men's horses.
"Who are you? Where are you from? What's the matter with you coming to Maple Leaf Territory at this time?" Although the leader was interrogating, his tone was very friendly.
"Sir, we are friends of your young Lord Lin. We have come to Maple Leaf Territory to visit Lord Duke Green." Caitlin stuck her head out and said to the captain.
"Our little master has been away for almost a year. Don't you know?" The leader became concerned when he heard that it was Lin Xingchen's friend.
"Sir, we know he is out and we came to Maple Leaf Territory this time to bring news about him." They knew it was normal to be interrogated. They were all from noble families and naturally would not be disgusted by others doing their duties.
"How about this! It looks like this is your first time in our Maple Leaf Territory. I will arrange someone to lead you there so that you won't get lost." The captain waved his hand and arranged for a knight to lead their two cars to the Duke's Castle.
