The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. The Divine Sword Protectors no longer had smiles on their faces. Instead, they all became serious. President Welok looked around and said, "Just as you all know, Death's Gleam is known as the most dangerous Divine Sword. Not only is it able to kill all non-undead creatures around it, but it is also a Divine Sword that has only recently appeared. Its danger has already been proven, so we must take back the Divine Sword before things get out of hand."
"President, do you have any clues?" a Sword Guardian suddenly asked. "We still don't know who took it."
"I don't know who took it either, but I have some clues," President Wilok said. "According to our current intelligence, a mysterious black-clothed man has suddenly appeared among the Undead. It's said that he calls himself Emperor Woccha. Someone once saw him use a weapon that looked like a divine sword in the war against the demons."
"Undead again?" A few of the Divine Sword Guardians whispered to each other.
"After all, only the Undead can use this sword," President Wilok said. "So, according to the current information, the Death Sword, Ghostlight, is most likely in the hands of Emperor Woccha's people."
"Then let's go to the Undead now and take the sword back," a Sword Guardian shouted.
"No," President Wilok immediately stopped them. "Right now, we still don't know how much of the divine sword's power he's grasped. If he's able to unleash the full power of the Death Sword's Dim Light, we won't be a match for him even if we work together. If even we fall, then no one knows how to seal the divine sword."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. Of course, it was not his place to speak. However, just by listening, he already knew a lot of information. For example, the information that the Divine Sword Guardian knew, as well as the fact that the seal on the Divine Sword was created by the Divine Sword Guardian.
"Then, President, what should we do?" the person next to him asked.
"First of all, we must confirm the authenticity of this matter. After all, we are still not sure if the Divine Sword is really in the hands of the other party." "I heard that this Emperor Wotcha is planning to hold an ascension ceremony tomorrow night. He'll display the godly sword in front of everyone, so we have to send people to investigate. I'm now choosing the people to investigate tomorrow."
"Me!" "Me!" Just as Willock finished speaking, a few others raised their hands to register.
"Wait, listen to me." President Welok waved his hand and said, "You guys who guard the Divine Swords, don't go. After all, one of the Divine Swords has already been lost. Watch the other Divine Swords. We can't let this happen again."
"Yes." The guards immediately nodded, including Ishak and Barba.
"Then I thought about it. This matter will mainly be led by you, Huutley," President Welok said.
As soon as President Welok finished speaking, an undead stood up. Li Huailin looked at him in surprise. This was the only undead Sword Guardian present, and this guy's name was green on Li Huailin's side. Li Huailin had never seen this green-named undead before, which meant that this guy was in the same camp as him.
Of course, Li Huailin couldn't tell how old the Undead were just by looking at their appearance. However, Li Huailin could tell that this person's aura wasn't ordinary. He looked like a very cold person, and he used two one-handed swords, one on each side of his waist. He was a dual-wielding swordsman.
"Yes, President," the undead swordsman named Huutley said.
"As we all know, the Death Sword's Gleam is extremely harmful to living creatures, but it's relatively weak to the undead. Moreover, Huutley participated in the battle a hundred years ago, so I think it's better to let him lead the team," President Welok said.
"Hmm …" "That's true." This explanation made all the Divine Swords Guardians nod, acknowledging Huutley's identity as the leader.
"Then, Huutley, tell us your thoughts," President Welok said.
"Yes, President." Huutley nodded, then turned to everyone and said, "I think President's analysis is correct. We must investigate this matter thoroughly and deal with it carefully. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to retrieve the Divine Swords, but we will also lose our lives in vain. So I agree with President's suggestion to investigate first. "
"Hmm." President Welok nodded. "In that case, you choose the team members."
"Yes." Huutley nodded again, then said, "As I said, the Death Sword's Gleam is extremely harmful to non-undead races, but there aren't many undead in the Divine Swords Guardians. Right now, I'm the only one. Of course, we have a way to restrain it, and that is to use the 'Protection of Light' spell, which can temporarily reduce the corrosive damage of the Death Sword's Gleam. Chisley, you must participate."
"Of course." A middle-aged man in his forties walked out. He didn't use a sword as a weapon, so he seemed to be a Priest.
Li Huailin also nodded. He had encountered this situation before. The Church of Light seemed to use a defensive spell to prevent the Death Aura's damage. It turned out to be the 'Protection of Light' spell. It seemed that this man named Chisley was a Priest who knew this spell.
"Although Chisley can use the 'Protection of Light' spell, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that you'll be fine. After all, this spell doesn't completely restrain the Death Sword's Gleam. If the other party can really use this divine sword to a certain extent, no spell can block it. So there's still danger." Huutley continued, "But we still need a few more people. In terms of scouting, we can't have too many people. How about this, including me and Chisley, we need three more people. Who wants to sign up?"
System Notification: Quest changed.
AA Hidden Quest, Gathering of the Divine Sword Guardians.
Quest Objective: Join the scouting team and obtain the correct information.
Quest Reward: 300,000 experience, 50 gold coins, 200 Reputation points, and special rewards.
"So that's how it is." Li Huailin nodded slightly. He thought that the difficulty of this AA Hidden Quest was that someone might steal the Divine Sword while they were away. It turned out that it wasn't like that. They wanted him to join this scouting team. Scouting himself was something he had never heard of. Of course, this made Li Huailin very happy. After all, one of his reasons for coming here was to find out the movements of the Divine Sword Guardians. Otherwise, how would he deal with them?
"I …" Just as Li Huailin was about to raise his hand to sign up, he didn't expect someone to be one step faster than him. Moreover, the voice came from beside him. He turned around and saw that it was Barba's new apprentice, the Elf Swordsman Mulley, who he had been chatting with for a long time.
"Mulley?" Barba was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Mulley to be the first to sign up. Although he knew that Mulley was talented, he had only taught him for two years. Although his level was not bad, he still hadn't reached the standard of the Divine Sword Guardians.
Mulley looked at Barba and said firmly, "Teacher, I want to give it a try."
President Willock also came over and asked, "Who is this young man?"
"This is my new disciple, Mulay. He's extremely talented, but he lacks experience." Barba gave a very pertinent evaluation.
"I see." President Willock nodded, then turned to Mulley and said, "Mulley, this operation is very dangerous. You should have heard it just now."
"I know, President," Mulley immediately replied. "Of course I know that the opponent is the wielder of the Death Sword, Ghostlight. But as a member of the Divine Sword Guardians, I'm ready at any time. Please let me go."
"Hmm …" President Willock pondered for a moment. This operation wasn't to officially retrieve the Divine Sword. It was just a scouting mission. To be honest, they didn't know much about the situation, so sacrificing their main force to participate in the scouting mission was very unwise. On the other hand, if the newcomers were to go, even if there were losses, it wouldn't be too serious. Moreover, this was a chance to show their trust.
Thinking of this, President Willock nodded to Captain Huutley.
"Got it. Is there anyone else?" Huutley asked.
"Me." Li Huailin immediately raised his hand.
"Hmm? Another new face. " President Willock was a little surprised by the newcomer's activity. "This is?"
"My successor," Issac quickly said. Ishak hurriedly said, "Wait, Guild Leader. She's my only successor. If something happens to her, I won't have anyone else on my side."
"That's true …" President Willock nodded.
"Wait, I must go." Li Huailin immediately said, then his eyes turned, and he said righteously, "After all, I'm also a member of the Divine Sword Guardians. This kind of thing cannot be passed on."
Beside him, Ishak was visibly moved, and immediately asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, of course I'm sure," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Since you have this resolve, I won't stop you." Issac nodded, then said to President Willock, "President, I also request that you let him join the team."
"Mhm." Willock nodded in agreement.
"Wait, President, I have another request." As they were speaking, Li Huailin suddenly raised his hand.
