Liag mounted his horse and quickly galloped away.
"Silly Yu, I couldn't tell that you could even seduce the princess with your disgusting looks! Also, the Elven Priestess of the Moon is really flirting everywhere! "Han Yingxue curled her lips and said.
Zhang Yang was puzzled. Why was Serena looking for him?
Generally speaking, NPCs would only interact with players passively. Even highly intelligent NPCs were no exception. However, Serena actually sent someone to look for him. This was too strange!
He took out the City Return Talisman and said, "You guys continue to level up. I'll return to Baiyu City to take a look!"
Whoosh, a white light flashed, and he returned to the Thunderrain Fortress. He immediately took the teleportation formation to Baiyu City. Zhang Yang rode the large, white bear and ran all the way to the palace.
"This is an important place of the royal family. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" At the entrance of the palace, eight guards stopped Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang said, "I'm Zhan Yu. I've been ordered to come and see Princess Serena!"
"You're Zhan Yu?" A guard looked Zhang Yang up and down.
"I'm the real deal!"
The guard nodded and said, "Follow me!"
Under the guard's guidance, Zhang Yang arrived at the Starry Moon Temple.
"Wait here. I'll go report to Her Highness!" The guard turned and said to Zhang Yang before walking into the temple. After a while, he came out of the temple and said, "You can go in!"
Zhang Yang walked into the temple and saw a fully-armed guard standing beside each of the twenty-four huge pillars. They were all elite soldiers whose levels could not be seen. This defense had been upgraded!
Serena was sitting on the throne and flipping through a book. When she heard Zhang Yang's footsteps, she closed the book and said, "Zhan Yu, come and sit!" She pointed to a chair beside her.
Zhang Yang sat down and said, "Your Highness, I wonder if there's something urgent for you to summon me in such a hurry?"
Serena did not answer him immediately. Instead, she looked straight into the sky and said, "Zhan Yu, do you know the Heavenly Might Empire?"
"Yes, the Tianwei Empire was the only empire in the history of mankind. It fell apart about a thousand years ago, which is why there are now countless kingdoms, big and small!" Zhang Yang said. This was one of the backstories of Miracle.
Serena retracted her gaze and said, "My dream is to expand the White Jade Nation into a great empire like the Tianwei Empire!"
Before inheriting the throne, she already had the ambition to be a queen! It was no wonder. If she did not have such an ambition to expand the kingdom, she would not have gone to the Tukula Fortress and been captured by the undead.
Zhang Yang said, "Her Royal Highness is very ambitious, a woman does not lose to a man!" In any case, he did not need to spend any money to flatter her, so he just did as he pleased.
Serena nodded her head in satisfaction. "You've done well. You've planted the flag of the White Jade Nation in the Danila Forest and displayed the might of our White Jade Nation!"
Zhang Yang thought to himself, Don't tell me you're thinking of nationalizing the land? This is my lifeblood. If you dare to snatch it, I will push you down!
"But this is far from enough!" Serena suddenly stood up and said in a heroic manner, "I once advised my father to march beyond the Great Wall, but my father only wanted to defend his position and had no intention of expanding the kingdom's territory! Before I inherit the throne, I cannot mobilize a large army, so I must think of another way! "
She paused for a moment, then said, "Zhan Yu, do you know how the Tianwei Empire was able to unify the human race and become the only empire in history?"
"I don't know!" There was no introduction to this in the game's background story.
Serena clasped her hands behind her back and slowly walked down from the throne. She said, "According to legend, the Tianwei Empire obtained the ancient divine weapon, the Meteor Sword, which was why they were able to suppress all the foreign races and establish an immortal achievement! Unfortunately, although the Tianwei Empire's army was at its peak and suppressed all the races, the royal family wanted to seize the power of the seven feudal officials, which forced them to rebel. In the end, the huge empire fell apart! "
She stopped and turned back to look at Zhang Yang, then continued, "The bloodline of the Tianwei Empire's royal family was completely severed, and the armies of the seven feudal officials were also exhausted. At this time, there was a dispute within the empire. In the name of fighting against the rebels, they all sent troops to the imperial capital, intending to seize the Meteor Sword and establish the supreme imperial authority. The seven ministers had many internal conflicts, so they had no choice but to use a restrictive spell and throw the entire palace into the void. However, they left behind the key to open the spatial door. Every descendant of the Seven Great Ministers has a portion of the key. Once you gather all seven key fragments, you will be able to open the spatial door and enter the Heavenly Might Empire to obtain the Falling Star Sword! "
Divine weapon?
Serena continued, "For thousands of years, countless people have been searching for the descendants of the seven ministers, collecting the key fragments to obtain the Meteor Sword! But until now, no one or any kingdom has succeeded! Seven years ago, I sent out spies and spent a lot of money to find the descendants of the seven ministers. Now, I have finally gathered all of their locations! But my father did not agree to me searching for the Meteor Sword, thinking that this sword is an inauspicious item! So, I can only place my hopes on you! "
"Ding! Serena has issued a mission to you: Search for the Meteor Sword, do you accept? This mission is a step in the main mission chain. Completion of the final main mission will give you a generous reward! "
This … The main mission had automatically delivered itself to his doorstep!
Zhang Yang finally felt the usefulness of obtaining Serena's affection back then! If not for that, why would Serena look for him?
He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I am willing to serve you!"
Serena smiled with satisfaction, handed over a small booklet, and said, "This is the current location of the descendants of the seven ministers! Due to my father's orders, I cannot send the kingdom's army to help you. You can only rely on your own strength to complete this difficult mission! "
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely complete the mission successfully!" Zhang Yang took the booklet.
"Mm, set off quickly! Not only am I searching for the whereabouts of the Meteor Sword, the other seven kingdoms are also on the move. You must hurry! "Serena said solemnly.
"Understood!"
Coming out of the palace, Zhang Yang flipped open the booklet and checked the location of the descendants of the seven ministers.
Well, seven NPCs were in seven different maps, and there were no duplicates. Just running around was tiring enough!
Among them, three NPCs were in three Level 70 maps, three NPCs in three Level 80 maps, and the last NPC was in a Level 90 map! If he wanted to complete this mission, he would definitely have to reach Level 90!
However, he could first get the three key fragments in the Level 70 maps.
Zhang Yang opened the mission list and looked at the mission description. The key was whether it could be shared.
[Search for the Meteor Sword] (Mission Difficulty: Level S)
Mission Description: Princess Serena requests that you find the ancient divine weapon, the Meteor Sword! The divine sword is in the treasury of the Heavenly Might Empire, and the treasury is sealed in the void along with the Heavenly Might Imperial City! You must first find the seven key fragments and combine them into a complete key before you can open the Space Door. In addition, that key is the only way to open the treasury.
Completion: Find the Meteor Sword 01
Cannot be shared. In the mission list, the "Share Mission" button was gray.
"Anemic Warrior, what did the princess ask you to do?" Wei Yan'er asked in the party channel.
"Hehe, she gave me a main storyline mission!" Zhang Yang laughed.
"… Wow, then quickly share it. I want to do it too!"
"I can't share it!"
"Damn it!"
Zhang Yang first returned to the Thunderstorm Fortress, then rode on the big white bear and rushed to Oz. Among the descendants of the seven ministers, the first NPC was in Oz's Longguta Town.
The NPC's name was Alonsos. The booklet did not specify where he was in Longguta Town, so the players had to find it themselves.
Zhang Yang spent more than three hours on the road and arrived at an old town. At the entrance of the town was a huge clock tower. The time was fixed at 1: 37, but the clock seemed to be broken. It did not move even after a long time.
Zhang Yang patted the big white bear, and the Gold-eared Bear King immediately slowed down. It twisted its big butt and walked on the old town street. It was very strange. The sun was shining brightly outside the town, but when one stepped on the street, the whole sky was gloomy. One could not see the sun, and it was frighteningly gray!
Whoosh, a cold wind swept past, and a few pieces of paper were blown up in the street. It was empty, and it gave people the feeling that it was a ghost town.
Where is everyone?
In the dead silence, only the sound of the white bear's footsteps could be heard. They traveled far into the distance and formed echoes.
Zhang Yang could not help but feel his hair stand on end. This place was too strange! He walked all the way to the center of the town, but he did not see a single person. It was as if a plague had taken away everyone's lives!
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind Zhang Yang. There was also the faint sound of heavy breathing. It was like a bellow, and it sent chills down people's spine!
Zhang Yang's hand grasped the hilt of his sword. It was not good to make the game too realistic. This kind of immersive feeling was enough to scare people with weak hearts!
"Young man —" A hoarse voice sounded.
Zhang Yang suddenly turned around. Before he could swing his sword, he saw an old man with a hunched back standing in front of him. He was holding a walking stick in his hand, and it was that thing that kept making the clicking sounds!
When he saw the name above the old man's head, Zhang Yang let out a sigh of relief and sheathed his sword.
[Alonsos] (Normal, Humanoid)
Level: 1
Health Points: 150
Armor Points: 10
It was one of the descendants of the seven ministers that he was looking for!
This NPC was so weak. Could he just kill him, pick up the items, and leave? Zhang Yang thought to himself. Logically speaking, not even a normal quest would be this easy, let alone a main quest. Killing a normal monster would be enough to complete the quest! There was an 80% chance that killing this NPC would not drop anything. Instead, it would cut off the way to obtain the key shard!
Of course, it was also possible that the game designer did the opposite and purposely let the players think that way. In fact, he could just kill the NPC with a casual swing of his sword!
After some thought, Zhang Yang decided not to act rashly. He said, "Old man, what's going on here? Where are the other townspeople?"
Alonsos leaned on the walking stick with both hands, looking very old and feeble. He said, "They have all fallen into an eternal slumber! Young man, it's too dangerous here. Leave this place while you still have the chance! "
Zhang Yang got off the big white bear and said, "Old man, tell me clearly, why would the other townspeople fall into an eternal slumber?"
Of course, he could not leave. Otherwise, where would he get the key shard from?
"Sigh, don't be so stubborn! How many years has it been since adventurers like you came to the town? Many of them did not listen to my advice and insisted on staying. In the end, they ended up like the rest of the townspeople, never to wake up again! "Alonsos sighed.
Zhang Yang could not help but ask, "Then, old man, why are you free from misfortune and have not fallen into a deep slumber?"
"Me? That's because I'm not that greedy! "Alonsos shook his head, looking confused." Young man, do you really want to stay? "
"Yes!"
"Sigh!" Alonsos sighed again and said, "This used to be a beautiful town. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their lives were blissful. Until … Maybe 20 years ago, or maybe 30 years ago, an evil witch came here. She deceived the townspeople and made them believe that as long as they drank the alchemy potion she made, they would never grow old! "
The old man shook his head and continued, "One night, at 1: 37 PM, the entire town's time suddenly froze. Even the clock tower stopped moving! No one can wake up from their sleep. They will never grow old, but they will never wake up again! "
"Is there no one who can get rid of that witch?"
"She is a powerful Magus. Moreover, anyone who drinks the potion she made will become her extension of life. Killing her is equivalent to killing one of the townspeople here!"
"Is there no other way to deal with her?"
Alonsos thought for a moment and said, "Her Majesty the Queen's Mirror of Truth has the power to dispel all evil forces. It's enough to deal with that Magus! Young man, if you really want to save this town, then please don't be rash. Hurry to Hela City immediately and borrow the Mirror of Truth from Her Majesty the Queen to destroy that evil witch! "
"Ding! Alonsos has issued a quest to you: Obtain the Mirror of Truth. Do you accept? "
… But the Mirror of Truth had long been smashed to pieces by him!
Was this the same as shooting himself in the foot? Zhang Yang could not help but smile bitterly and accept the quest. "Old man, I will definitely do my best!"
There were no impossible quests in the game. So, even though the Mirror of Truth had been smashed, there were definitely other ways to destroy that witch. However, he definitely had to go to Hela City for the quest to take a turn for the better.
Zhang Yang rode on the big white bear and immediately rushed to Hela City.
After trekking over mountains and rivers, Zhang Yang once again arrived at the majestic ancient city and stopped outside the gates of the palace.
He jumped off his mount and said to the guards at the gates, "My name is Zhan Yu. I have an important matter to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Go, go, go. Is Her Majesty the Queen someone anyone can see?" A guard immediately scolded him.
"I came from Longguta Town. Something urgent has happened there. I must see Her Majesty the Queen!" Zhang Yang said. Since the quest had prompted him to come to Hela City to find Queen Seyunita, then Longguta Town must be the key to see her.
"Longguta Town?" Sure enough, the guard revealed a pensive look and said, "Wait here, I'm going to go in and report!" If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
