Chapter 521: The Silver Princess Soaring in the Sky
A new day, Tilan and her friends woke up in the hotel.
Yesterday, they went shopping, completed a simple task, and then returned to the hotel to rest at 10 o'clock in the evening.
"This is the reward for yesterday's task." Tilan looked at the spear at hand. It looked retro. The dark gold gun body had anti-slip vine patterns engraved on it. The gun blade was bright silver and presented a sharp arc.
Going downstairs and gathering in the lobby on the first floor, Tilan heard Pulin holding up a dagger.
"We must do a big fight today!"
An hour later, a group of people appeared in a valley densely populated by monsters. There were many jackals wielding sticks and axes. They had animal heads and full of sharp teeth, which was very ferocious.
Tilan, Oresi, and Shui Yanqing in front, all held shields, stood side by side, and then continued to advance. The three people in the back provided support and assistance. For a while, swords clashed, flames burned, and the sound of tearing continued. It was obviously just a small team, but it was like a historical battle.
About two hours later, the six people stood in the valley after the sweep. The ground was full of broken crystals of monsters, burn marks, broken and damaged weapons. The six people who finished the battle also had many injuries on their bodies, but they were all relatively shallow, after all, they were protected by the belt shield.
Blanche supported the exhausted Shui Yanqing, Pulin was a little tired and supported the mountain wall, Odney leaned on the stone, and Tilan knelt on the ground, with Orlesi, whose face was covered with dust and blood, lying on her knees.
"Did you win the battle, Tilan." Orlesi barely opened her eyes.
"Yes, we won."
"My arms are so sore." Orlesi continued.
"Yes."
"My waist is uncomfortable, I can't stand up."
"Yes.
" "I'm so sleepy ." "
Yes .
" "Maybe I'm going to fall asleep." "
Yes."
Orlesi slowly closed her eyes.
"Go to sleep." Tilan said softly, then raised her head and looked at the quiet valley.
When I first accepted the mission, I expected it to be difficult, but I didn't expect the process to be so brutal, just like a war, with monsters swarming forward and no room to escape.
After completing this mission, the six of us returned to the hotel and rested for half a day, and gradually recovered our energy until the evening.
Three days later.
"Although it's very tiring, the results are also very gratifying." Odney looked at the various props and money bags on the table.
"This is the badge that can be transferred to the 'Paladin', the recommendation letter of the 'Red Robe Mage', the invitation letter of the 'Harpist' alliance, the secret book of the 'Spell Swordsman', the secret book of the 'Scythe User', and the candlestick of the 'Holy Sister'."
"In addition, I have accumulated about 3,000 gold coins, and everyone's equipment has been replaced with excellent quality."
"Everything is almost ready."
Pulin looked at the others at the table. Now she is wearing a bright red robe with golden silk lines on the cuffs. This is the appearance of the 'Red Robe Mage' after the job transfer.
"I've packed it." Odney came over holding a small golden harp. She was wearing a short dark green cape and a white robe with silver edges.
Also sitting at the table was the holy nun Blanche, holding a bronze candlestick in her hand. Shui Yanqing, who had a slender sword with engraved patterns across her knees, was checking her silver armor and white cape.
"Where's Tilan?" Odney asked curiously after approaching.
"She took the job transfer item to her room. I guess she'll be out by now."
Soon, everyone heard slightly hesitant footsteps coming from the stairs, and then Tilan walked down shyly. At first, everyone was puzzled as to why she was so slow, but they soon understood after seeing her clothes.
The black long skirt outlined the girl's figure very well. When she walked, the open collar on both sides revealed part of her snow-white thighs, which was very tempting. Looking up, the chest was wrapped in black cloth, and a little skin was exposed under the armpits on the sides, which made people imagine.
In addition, the crescent-shaped sickle in the girl's hand also adds a mysterious and moving temperament to her, which is particularly attractive.
"This dress feels a bit like a witch." Odney thought for a while.
"The profession of 'scythe user' is originally related to the god of death, and also has abilities related to the dead. It is a profession that combines melee and magic."
"Although, Tilan's clothes are really great, and I feel that they match her image very well." Blanche was slightly excited and circled around the black-haired girl, as if she wanted to remember this look firmly.
"Sure enough, Tilan is a potential stock." Shui Yanqing looked at Tilan's chest and commented with a chuckle.
"Okay, don't say anymore, Tilan's face is about to blush." As he said this, the others laughed.
Then they sat down to discuss again.
"The tasks in this city are almost completed. We can go to the next level of the maze."
"Where is the next location?"
"Isaifan Night Harbor, it is a developed commercial port city. It is said that there are many merchant ships coming and going there. We need to escort a cargo when we go there."
"Get ready to go."
The six people set out again after resting. This time the goal is the third level of the maze. They move along the road in the mountains and step onto the lifting platform at the end of the forest to enter another level of the maze.
The tree-shaped door opened, and the six people walked out of the platform. A humid and warm sea breeze blew in their faces. Not far away, down the hillside, there is a seaside city.
There are obviously more NPCs here than on the previous level, and you can see many other players. They are wearing various clothes. Some of them even invited the six people to form a team together, but they were rejected by Tilan and others.
After settling down in the city, the six people started a new round of tasks. The first is to investigate the mystery of the haunted house of the rich in the city. On the way to solve it, they found that it was a certain evil necromancer who was causing trouble, so the six people went to the secluded place of the necromancer outside the city to fight.
In the forest, fog filled the air, and monsters made of white bones wandered around. Tilan and others walked through it, smashing the skeleton monsters that approached one by one. Tilan's "scythe user" and Blanche's "holy nun" played a big role in this.
"Soul Slash"
The girl said the name of the skill in an ancient chanting tone, and then a faint fluorescence flashed on the blade of the sickle. All the ghosts that were swung and cut disappeared, and the corpse monsters that were cut fell to the ground.
"Holy Flame of Candle"
Blanche held up the candlestick, and the golden flames spread from the candlestick, igniting the undead monsters that were approaching, illuminating the fog, and burning the bones to ashes.
After defeating the corpses and monsters along the way, the group finally came to the depths of the dark forest and saw the gray-haired necromancer. He stood in front of a tombstone with beautiful words engraved on it.
"What is this?"
"This is Celine's tomb. She was my childhood sweetheart and grew up with me." The necromancer turned around, half of his face was covered by a mask, and the other half was also extremely pale.
"But later she married Fulin, who is now the mayor of Night Harbor."
"Although I was in pain about her choice, I still respected her will."
"But Fulin did not keep his oath. He later fell in love with another lover, abandoned Celine, and poisoned her to death, saying that she died of illness."
"I wanted Fulin to live in regret and fear, so I arranged various things in his mansion. This guy also collapsed step by step as I expected. Seeing that everything was developing as I expected, I didn't expect Aine to stand up to help him."
"Aine is Celine's only daughter. She has the same long light purple hair as Celine, and is just as kindhearted. Yet, she actually asked you to investigate this matter."
"If it were anyone else, I would have killed them long ago, but she... is Celine's only child after all."
After listening to the necromancer's story, the six people stopped.
"He did bad things, but they were justifiable." Odney plucked the strings of the harp.
"Are we going to forgive him for this?" Pulin shook her head, and flames appeared on her palms.
"Wait a minute." Blanche begged Pulin to stop for the time being.
"What do you think?" She turned to look at Tilan, Orlesi, and Shui Yanqing.
"If it were me, I would turn around and teach that city lord a lesson. He has concealed too many things from us and misled us." Orlesi stroked the silver hair beside her ear.
"I won't believe the necromancer's words. No matter what, his mistakes have been made, and this should end here." Shui Yanqing clenched the hilt of the sword.
"I will subdue him, take him to confront the city lord and Aine, and tell the girl the truth." Tilan pressed her finger lightly on the edge of the sickle.
"In that case, let's defeat the other party first." The six people quickly reached an agreement and prepared to fight.
"Hahahaha - you naive guys, do you think you can defeat me with more people?" Hearing that the six people were still preparing to fight, the necromancer laughed wildly, and then waved his hand, and hundreds of white skeletons walked out of the misty woods behind him.
Compared with the simple guys outside, these skeletons are obviously much more sophisticated, some of them are even covered with armor and holding weapons.
Seeing the other party commanding the skeletons to surround them, the flame in Pulin's hand suddenly became larger, and then the color turned deep red. He threw it out and exploded in the group of skeletons. The flames swept through, and many skeletons turned directly into white ash.
In front of the team, Orles was wearing a fitted armor and stood with a two-handed axe in her hand. She swung hard and chopped. The white light attached to the axe blade and smashed all the skeletons in front of her.
Afterwards, Odni played music to bless her companions. Then, under the cover of Orles and Shui Yanqing, Tilan crossed the tree branch, rushed into the side of the necromancer, and cut off his staff and wrist with a sickle.
In severe pain, he knelt on the ground and rolled, and bloody crystals continued to flow out of the broken ends. Blanche, who arrived later, treated him to stop the bleeding, and then took him to Night Harbor City.
Finally, in the confrontation between Fulin, Aine, and the necromancer, the truth was gradually revealed.
It turned out that Celine was not poisoned by Fulin, but died because she was seriously injured and poisoned while protecting her daughter from the sea beast attack. Fulin's second lover, who was also Celine's former friend, asked her to take care of her daughter before he died.
However, this good friend gradually became interested in the position of the city lord's wife, so she wanted to alienate the relationship between Aine and the city lord, so she spread the rumor that Celine was poisoned to death, and also wanted to get rid of Aine, because in this way, the city lord would definitely want to have another child after losing his only daughter, and she would be able to truly take the
throne. "So, we sent the bad woman to prison, and then the necromancer also promised to atone for his sins and live outside Night Harbor as a force to protect the city
. As for Aine, she said she would grow up well and accompany her father." Sitting on the wooden sea ship, the six people slowly sailed towards the distance, recalling their experiences in Night Harbor.
"Life is really unpredictable." Lying on the deck, Pulin looked at the simulated sun in the sky.
"I didn't expect that my former good sisters and friends would betray me like this."
"People will change slowly." Someone on the side also sighed.
"Will we change in the future?"
"Probably..."
The voices of the six people gradually disappeared in the distance of the sea.
As the sea ship rose, Tilan and others came to the fourth floor of the maze. This is the royal city Creed, with a magnificent architectural style, occupying most of the area of the entire maze floor.
Walking through the Royal City, tall walls and buildings blocked the sky. People in gorgeous robes could be seen everywhere on the streets, and even adventurers (players) were increasing in number.
"It's so lively here, and there are so many street snacks."
"The entire fourth floor, most of the space is occupied by the Royal City. It seems that it is very peaceful here, and there are no monster nests."
"I don't know what I will encounter this time."
Tilan and others looked at the various shops and pedestrians on the street curiously, occasionally stopping to watch carefully and buy something they are interested in.
"Have you heard that the Royal City has started to select new dragon knights? It is said that as long as you win the championship in the battle, you can get the opportunity to make a contract with a dragon."
"The royal family and the dragon family have signed a covenant. Every ten years, three giant dragons that can sign a contract will be sent to the Royal City. If someone can get their recognition, they can become a dragon knight."
"Dragon knight is one of the top professions, extremely powerful, and there are dragons as companions and allies."
"Even if facing the devil, there is still the power to fight."
"This is the highest honor for adventurers."
When Tilan and others sat down in the tavern in the Royal City, they heard more rumors about dragon knights.
"That is to say, if we want to pass this game, it's best to get a top-level profession, and now there is an opportunity."
"That's right, the three melee fighters in the team can all become dragon knights."
"Go ahead, since you're here, there's no reason not to give it a try.
"
"Riding a giant dragon is so majestic and cool." "The real dragon knights have disappeared in the Third Age. I didn't expect to be able to experience it again now."
"Can only one person from each team sign up?"
"Tilan expressed little interest. After that, it's up to Shui Yanqing and Orles."
"Start preparing."
...
One day later, a grand knight duel was held in the Royal City Arena. In the open space covered with yellow sand, the contestants fought hard and eliminated each other one by one.
"The much-anticipated final has begun. This time it's the champion knight, Akmon, who is the favorite to win, and our elegant and beautiful princess knight, Orles!"
In the audience of the arena, everyone cheered enthusiastically, and then two people entered.
The battle started soon. Akmon, wielding a two-handed sword, and Orles, holding a double-edged axe, crossed back and forth in the arena, and the strong winds accompanying the swing of the weapons swept across. At first,
Orles was at a disadvantage and couldn't let go. Then, as the battle progressed, she became more and more involved, slowly leveling the situation, and then became more and more stable, until the axe swung down, and the opponent had to block with a horizontal sword.
"Submit to me!" When she said this, the axe blade emitted a dazzling light, pressing down the opponent's body step by step until he fell to his knees.
"The winner is born! Our glorious and brave Miss Orles! She will ride on the dragon and become the strongest force to protect the kingdom!"
"Soar, silver-haired princess! Your glory will shine brightly today, like the shining ice crystals in the sky!"
The girl, wearing a gorgeous cloak and armor, holding an axe in one hand, rode on the back of the silver dragon. Her appearance was seen by the residents of the entire royal city. Countless cheers rang out at this moment, and countless fireworks bloomed at this moment.
