"Who are you?"
Mu Fan quickly stood in front of the girls. He looked at the white-haired man with vigilance and asked coldly.
The white-haired man had an indifferent expression. He smiled and said, "Me? M. Yuankong used to be a general stationed on the twenty-second floor of Aincrad. "
“? M Yuankong? "
Mu Fan was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "Since you're also a human, why did you appear here and attack us?"
"Human?"
? Yuankong raised his head and looked into the distance. He laughed self-deprecatingly. "You should know very well that I just came out of the sealed ice crystal. My body is no longer human."
Say, what? Yuankong slowly explained: "Actually, Seaheart Island was occupied by a group of orcs a few hundred years ago. I was ordered by the royal family of Aincrad to come here and exterminate the orcs. Even though we managed to drive the orcs away, most of the soldiers I brought with me were sacrificed. Even the ones that survived, including myself, were all heavily injured. Due to the infection, there were less than 10 of us left after a few days. Also, the ships and food were burned by the orcs, so all we could do was wait here for reinforcements from Aincrad. "
"But we've been waiting like this for decades, and the kingdom's reinforcements still haven't arrived. The leaders of the royal family seem to have forgotten about us."
? Yuankong bitterly smiled. "Fortunately, we found the treasures of Seaheart Island while we were waiting for Aincrad's reinforcements. These treasures are only weapons of war, they can't extend our lives. As time passed, my comrades died one by one, leaving only me to guard this place. I lost my memories after a long time, but I still had the will to protect the treasures of Seaheart Island. So, I sealed myself in an ice crystal and stayed here as one of the undead."
Mu Fan felt a pang in his heart. Perhaps the Aincrad Royal Family thought that all the soldiers had died on Seaheart Island and didn't know that there was a treasure there, so they didn't send any reinforcements to avoid unnecessary losses.
Is it possible to feel that way? Yuankong would definitely suffer heavy casualties in the battle against the orcs, so he gave up on the few remaining soldiers he had.
But no matter how much the royal family betrayed,? M. Yuankong had always maintained his loyalty to the royal family. He had stayed here and turned into an undead. He didn't regain his memories until the moment they killed him.
"So, after we entered this place, you unconsciously launched an attack on us?"
Mu Fan asked with some heartache.
"Yes, but I have no complaints if you kill me."
? M. Yuankong's face was calm as if he had let go of everything. He said, "I've long since grown tired of this life as an undead. I have to thank you for being able to remember all of this and break free from my identity as an undead."
"By the way, can you tell me if the royal family of Aincrad remembered me and sent you to pick me up?"
At this moment? Yuankong's eyes flashed with joy as he asked.
“? M Yuankong … "
Hearing this, Mu Fan hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't have the heart to tell the truth, he knew that if he didn't, what would happen? M. Yuankong's soul is about to dissipate, and he can only regret it in the future.
Although he's just an NPC, at least in SAO, he's a hero.
Mu Fan said in a deep voice. "Now … Aincrad has sunk."
"What? Aincrad sunk? "
? M. Yuankong's body trembled as if he was hit by a huge blow. He said with a trembling voice. "It's been hundreds of years, has the world changed?"
"Yes."
Mu Fan nodded. He then told him about the current situation of the seven lords, the new royal city, and Atlantis. M. Yuankong.
"Damn it! Hell's army has invaded our continent!"
Hearing that the seven lords have sunk Aincrad? M. Yuankong clenched his fists in indignation and gritted his teeth. "No wonder, no wonder a person with a strong dark aura came to the underground palace a few days ago, but he was no match for me, and I defeated him. It turns out that the undead are coveting the treasures of the Sea Heart Island. It's just that my life has come to an end, and I can no longer be a human general and help you expel the dark forces! "
"But, it's not like there's no chance …"
Speaking of which … Yuankong's expression suddenly changed. He pointed at the wall made of ice and said, "You can break through the ice. Behind the wall are treasures condensed from the formation of Sea Heart Island over tens of thousands of years. They might be of some help to you, but please promise me that you will expel the undead from the continent and restore peace to the world."
"Treasures of the Sea Heart Island?"
Unexpectedly? M. Yuankong still wanted to save the world when he was about to die. Mu Fan's expression changed a little. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand. M. Yuankong shook his hand, but he only touched air.
Sure enough, now? M. Yuankong was a soul that was about to dissipate.
Seeing this, Mu Fan felt sad. He said seriously, "Yes, please don't worry. I will expel the seven lords from the continent!"
"Then, I can rest assured …"
This sentence seemed to make M. Yuankong feel better. A satisfied smile appeared on M. Yuankong's face. His body stood in the middle of the hall and became more and more illusory.
"Brave adventurer, there is a letter in my clothes. Can you give me to Lingxi of the Elf Tribe? She is the woman I love. "
After a moment of silence. M. Yuankong pointed at his clothes that were torn by Mu Fan, and asked Mu Fan softly with hope in his eyes.
Mu Fan walked over and took out a letter from the pocket of his tattered clothes. It was a bamboo scroll carved from bamboo. It wasn't damaged in the battle just now, so he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, he would have destroyed the letter of the woman he loved. He really couldn't be forgiven.
M. Yuankong stared at the bamboo scroll in Mu Fan's hand. M. Yuankong said with nostalgia in his eyes, "When I came to Sea Heart Island, Lingxi was only a member of the Elf Tribe. The Elf Tribe has a lifespan of thousands of years and is isolated from the world. As long as there are no accidents, they won't die. As for the location of the Elf Tribe, I carved it on the back of the bamboo scroll. If Lingxi is still alive, please give this letter to her. Please. "
As he spoke,? M. Yuankong's soul actually knelt down on one knee in front of Mu Fan.
Hearing this, Yasna and the other girls behind him couldn't help but cry. Yasna walked up and said with tears in her eyes, "Please don't worry, we will personally hand your letter to your beloved Elf — Lingxi!"
"Really, thank you …"
Hearing this,? M. Yuankong's expression completely relaxed. His voice became softer and softer. Finally, his body leaned against the corner of the hall with a faint smile on his face. His body turned into stardust and dissipated little by little with a gentle breeze.
A human general of a generation died just like that in the underground palace.
Looking? Mu Fan sighed as he looked at M. Yuankong's disappearing figure.
At this moment, Mu Fan finally understood what Hatsune meant when she said this was a real world. NPCs had intelligence. They were living people. Once they died, they couldn't be revived.
However, NPCs like this still had the ideals of heroes and chivalry that didn't exist in reality.
After a moment of silence, Mu Fan held his longsword and took a deep breath. The 40-meter-long greatsword burst out from the body of the sword and slashed at the ice crystal wall.
In Mu Fan's opinion, M. Yuankong was dead. Primordial Spirit wasn't dead. He was the incarnation of the treasure on Seaheart Island!
Boom!
The sharp water-blue Sword Qi slashed down, and the powerful force caused the entire wall to collapse in an instant.
Without the obstruction of the wall, beams of gorgeous purple light shot out from behind the wall. For a moment, the entire hall was dyed purple. The dazzling light dazzled Mu Fan, Yasna, and the other girls so much that they couldn't open their eyes for a moment.
After getting used to it for half a minute, everyone calmed down slightly and looked up. In front of them was a corner of a large purple mineral vein.
"Is this the treasure of Sea Heart Island?"
Behind the wall was empty. Mu Fan walked over and stepped in. He immediately felt as if he had entered a brand new world. He was surprised to find that this mineral vein wasn't just the size of a hall. Instead, it was a large purple crystal vein that stretched for thousands of meters underground. It was like an underground mountain range.
However, what was the use of this purple crystal?
