Two days passed in the blink of an eye. It was now noon. Li Huailin was on his way to the gathering place of the Sword Guardians with Ishak. Li Huailin didn't have a good time in the past two days. In order to cooperate with the plan, Li Huailin had to frequently appear in the main city of the undead. Of course, he had various reasons to do so. And in order to show his identity, Li Huailin had to display the sword in his hand at all times.
To be honest, the effect was pretty good. Li Huailin didn't know if the Demons saw it, but the undead people could see it very clearly. Due to the official announcement of the identity of the sword bearer, the undead people were very supportive of this new emperor who suddenly appeared and didn't even want to show his face. No one actually raised any objections or questions. Perhaps it was because the impression that Emperor Hoppes left on them a hundred years ago was too deep.
But even so, Li Huailin wasn't very happy. It was mainly because Li Huailin had confirmed that he wasn't suitable to be an emperor in the past two days. It had only been two days, and Li Huailin couldn't stand it anymore. Not to mention becoming an emperor in the future, he would probably have to do such things all day long.
In the morning, after participating in the usual social activities to show that he was still in the main city of the undead, Li Huailin slipped out at noon to complete a mission, which was the mission of the Sword Guardians. After arriving at the lava fissure and meeting up with Ishak, the two headed to the gathering place together.
"What's going on here?" The two walked south for a while, and unexpectedly, Li Huailin found the situation in this place a little strange. Everyone knew that the lava fissure was located in the south of the main city, not very far from the main city. After meeting up with Ishak, Li Huailin walked a little further south, but he didn't expect that the further he walked, the colder it became. After walking for a while, Li Huailin discovered that he was near a snowy area.
Although it was winter in the main city, it didn't snow yet. Besides, the temperature should be higher the further south they walked. In addition, there was an extremely hot lava fissure nearby, so Li Huailin didn't expect that there would be snow here.
"This is Snowy Peak Mountain." Ishak, who was leading the way, said, "The temperature around here is much lower than the other side. I don't know the reason for this, but this area is similar to the lava fissure. There aren't many people living here because the deeper you go, the colder it gets. Our meeting place is right here."
Fortunately, Li Huailin was a player. Although he could sense the change in temperature through his helmet, it wasn't harmful to his body. As he followed Ishak deeper into the snowy area, just as Ishak had said, the temperature continued to drop. Moreover, powerful monsters also began to appear. These monsters didn't seem suitable for current players to grind because they were Level 58 or higher. However, Li Huailin didn't need to lift a finger. Ishak, who led the way, killed each monster with a swing of his blade. Seeing this, Li Huailin was certain that the Divine Sword Guardians here were all experts.
After walking for a while, the terrain began to change. In contrast to the lava fissure, the terrain here became higher and higher as they went, and it slowly turned into a mountain road. However, Isak had a good memory. Although he only came here once every three years, he seemed to be very familiar with the route and did not hesitate. As for Li Huailin, although he tried hard to remember the route, it was still a blur.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived before a relatively tall cliff. As Li Huailin looked up, he noticed that the cliff was abnormally tall, and its surroundings were covered in ice. The cliff's surface was also covered in a thick layer of ice. It looked like it would be very difficult to climb up.
"Do we have to climb up?" Li Huailin asked as he pointed at the cliff.
"No need." Ishak chuckled. As soon as he finished speaking, a few people walked out from beside him. Turning around, Li Huailin saw four male NPCs. Three of them were humans, while the last was an Elf. The three humans looked to be in their fifties. As for the Elf, Li Huailin couldn't tell their age. All three of them carried weapons on their backs. Judging from the look in their eyes, they should be relatively strong people.
Li Huailin didn't make any movements. Not only because their names were green, indicating that they were friendly, but also because they were wearing the Divine Sword Guardian emblem on their chests. Li Huailin was also wearing it. Of course, Ishak had asked him to change into it. Therefore, these people should be from the Divine Sword Guardian.
"Ishak, old friend." One of the human middle-aged men seemed very happy to see Ishak. He walked over and gave Ishak a hug. Li Huailin also paid special attention to this human. This human seemed to be the strongest among them. The other three seemed to be centered around him.
"Barba, old friend!" Ishak seemed to be a little excited. He went up and gave Barba a hug. After a moment of camaraderie, Ishak looked at the three people behind Barba and said, "Hello, Kemp, Shutan, and Metz. Oh, is this your new disciple?"
"Yes." Barba pulled the Elven Swordsman over and introduced him to Ishak. "This is the disciple I accepted two years ago, Mulay."
"Hello, Lord Ishak. I've often heard Master talk about you. He said that you're his best friend." This Elven Swordsman named Mulay was really good with words. In an instant, Ishak's impression of him increased.
"Oh? Could this be your disciple? " Barba glanced at Li Huailin, who was behind Isshak. Of course, Li Huailin was wearing the Sword Guardian badge and was following behind Isshak, so it was easy to guess his identity. What Barba meant was, "Hurry up and introduce yourself."
"Yes." Ishak nodded. "This is the successor I chose two months ago, Broad-Minded Ruolin."
"Oh?" On the other side, Barba looked at Li Huailin in surprise and said, "Has he been confirmed as the successor? He looks really outstanding. I haven't decided on my side yet. I feel like the three disciples are pretty good. It's giving me a headache. "
"Yeah, after all, I'm …" Issac wanted to say that his body couldn't take it anymore, but Barba obviously knew about it as well. He immediately interrupted, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about such disappointing things. Let's hurry up. I'll have a few drinks with you first before we talk about anything else."
"No problem." Ishak said happily.
"Go up?" Li Huailin looked at the cliff above. Didn't you just say that there was no need to climb up?
"Yes, yes. It's your first time here too, lad." Barba laughed. As soon as he finished speaking, the cliff in front of Li Huailin suddenly moved on its own. The cliff in front of Li Huailin slowly rose along with the sound of various ice shards cracking. It felt like a large garage door was opening. Of course, it wasn't using any machinery, but magic.
The scene was rather spectacular. As the door opened, Li Huailin discovered that there was actually another world within the mountain. There were obvious traces of man-made excavation. At a glance, he could see a straight staircase. The surroundings were lit with magic lamps, making it seem like a secret base.
"This is the gathering place for us Divine Sword Guardians?" The Elven Swordsman named Mulay asked in surprise. It should be his first time here.
"Yes." Barba nodded and said, "Let's go."
What followed was a long journey of climbing the stairs. Just like how it looked from the outside, the cliff was still very high, and there were many stairs inside. Along the way, Barba and Ishak chatted happily. After all, they hadn't seen each other for three years. They knew in their hearts that this would be Ishak's last gathering. There might not be another chance in the future. Li Huailin walked behind and chatted with a few disciples here. It just so happened that Li Huailin wanted to gather some information.
"Human?" The uncle named Kemp looked at Li Huailin and asked in surprise.
"Nonsense. Don't I look like a human?" Li Huailin said.
"Ah, no. You're a little too young. I'm a little surprised." Kemp laughed and said, "We've been learning from our master for more than 30 years, but we haven't reached the standard of a successor. You … are at most 25 this year. Since you're already a successor."
"I've been learning for more than 30 years." Li Huailin looked at Kemp and the uncle named Shuttanmetz next to him. These two guys are really too much. They're already in their fifties, but they're still someone else's disciple. Although Barba looks like he's in his fifties, his actual age is probably more than 50 years old. He might be more than 100 years old. He also heard that humans on this continent are older than the general impression. The more powerful a human is, the longer they can live. In reality, the average age of a human in 21XX was about 79 years old. In the game, Li Huailin heard of people who lived more than 150 years old. Ishak, who was in front of him, was already 141 years old.
Li Huailin didn't have time to chat with the two uncles. He went straight to the point and asked, "To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of your master. You know that I've only joined the Sword Guardian for less than 2 months. You're also responsible for guarding the Sword Guardian, right? Which Sword Guardian are you guarding?"
"Oh? Didn't you hear your master mention it? " Shuttanmetz smiled slightly and said, "Our master, Lord Barba, is the guardian of the Sky Sword Enlightenment."
"Sky Sword Enlightenment?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He hit the bull's eye.
