"How did you get the key to the prison?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Haha, friend, you're underestimating the power of money!" Honduras laughed, but he immediately returned to his worried expression. "I can escape, but my daughter, Adele, will be in danger. I only have one daughter, and I won't allow anyone to harm her!"
It was hard to tell that this unscrupulous merchant was also a compassionate father.
Zhang Yang nodded, "Then, how can I help you?"
Honduras sat on the ground and said, "Let me tell you everything from the beginning to the end!" He paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words. After a long while, he said, "I, Honduras, am the most outstanding merchant in the Prickly Tooth Castle, as well as the richest person! Twenty years ago, I even married the most beautiful woman in the castle. Haha, there isn't a single man in the entire Prickly Tooth Castle that isn't envious of me! "
Zhang Yang laughed, "Honduras, before you get complacent, you should consider your own situation first!"
Honduras immediately became listless and hung his head, "I might have endless wealth, but I can't treat my wife's illness! Three years ago, my wife left me and Adele and went to see the gods alone! Right now, Adele is my lifeblood! A few months ago, Leonardo, the younger brother of Fort Lord Winchester, proposed to me, wanting to marry my Adele! He must be blind to want to marry my daughter even though he's the same age as me! "
He punched the ground with a furious expression, "Three days ago, Winchester was ambushed by a demon when he was out, and he's been missing ever since! Leonardo actually accused me of colluding with demons and betraying Winchester! This is his plot. He deliberately framed me in order to take away my Adele and my property! "
Is this the game version of officials fighting for their wealth?
"Honduras, you want me to prove your innocence?" Zhang Yang asked.
"That's right!" Honduras nodded and said, "If I were alone, I would abandon all my assets here and start over somewhere else! But my Adele is still here, and when she comes to visit me, she says that Leonardo is threatening my life to force Adele to marry him! Bah, fortunately my Adele was smart enough not to agree, otherwise I would really be dead! As long as I die and he marries my daughter, all my assets will belong to him! "
Honduras paused for a moment before continuing, "Leonardo sent someone to keep an eye on Adele. She has no chance of leaving the castle! That's why, warrior, I must prove my innocence and walk out with dignity. Only then will I not be a burden to my precious daughter! "
He looked at Zhang Yang and said, "I don't believe that Winchester died so easily! He was a great and powerful warrior. It was impossible for the demons to defeat him! Warrior, I want you to find Winchester and come back with him! As long as Winchester returns alive, he will be able to prove my innocence! Moreover, I suspect that Leonardo is the traitor who betrayed Winchester. He has been wanting to be the Castle Master for a long time! "
"Ding! Honduras has issued a quest to you: Rescue Winchester. Do you accept? "
Evidently, he had to rescue Honduras in order to obtain the Thousand-Year Heroic Spirit Vine. In order to rescue Honduras, he had to find Winchester first. This was a chain of events that couldn't be avoided!
Zhang Yang sighed and accepted the quest. He knew that it wouldn't be easy to get everything done in one go!
[Rescue Winchester] (Quest Difficulty: Grade A)
Quest Description: Winchester was ambushed by the demons, and his whereabouts are unknown. You must find him as soon as possible and escort him back to Sharp Tooth Castle to prove his innocence for Honduras! Hint: Winchester was ambushed near Malin Bridge, and there might be some clues left there. Malin Bridge is to the east of Sharp Tooth Castle.
Completion: Rescuing Winchester 01
Honduras tossed the keys to Zhang Yang and said, "Adventurer, I'm counting on you!"
Zhang Yang caught the keys and opened the prison door before tossing them to Honduras and said, "Just wait for my good news!"
He walked out of the prison confidently. Evidently, the system didn't want players to fight at this time. There weren't any guards outside the prison, so Zhang Yang summoned the white bear and walked away.
The guards at the castle gate had also changed shifts. They didn't recognize Zhang Yang at all, so they didn't question or stop him from leaving.
Zhang Yang walked east after leaving the city, and about half an hour later, he saw a river with rapid currents. The waves were crashing, and it was very loud. He looked left and right on both sides of the river, and found a wooden bridge in the direction of the river. He patted the white bear and went over.
It didn't take long for him to reach the side of the bridge. There were corpses and limbs of humans and demons everywhere. The red blood belonged to the humans, and the black blood belonged to the demons, forming mottled marks on the ground.
Judging from the corpses and weapons, the battle started when Winchester and his party stepped onto the wooden bridge, and continued all the way to the small forest in the east. The further they went, the less blood there was. It was obvious that the battle was coming to an end here.
Soon, there were no more traces of blood on the ground, but there were still traces of them moving forward, all the way into the forest.
Zhang Yang patted the white bear and walked into the forest, continuing to follow the traces.
About half an hour later, Zhang Yang arrived at the foot of a mountain. He walked along the foot of the mountain for a short while before he saw a dozen demons blocking the entrance of a cave, and they were still shouting.
Is Winchester in that cave?
Zhang Yang thought to himself as he walked towards the demons.

Zhang Yang immediately threw a Shattering Spear at the furthest Voidwalker. However, after a damage of "-2914" popped up, the dozen or so demons all rushed towards him. It was obvious that they had a chain of aggro!
He quickly pulled the demons and moved them around, using Oscillating Wave, Thunder Bash, and Heroic Leap to continuously restrict the demons, slowly killing them off.
In less than five minutes, the dozen or so Voidwalkers had all fallen under Zhang Yang's axe.
After picking up the spoils of war, he went to the entrance of the cave.
A middle-aged man, who had obviously suffered a serious injury in his lower abdomen, was standing by the entrance with his sword. He was tall, and his face was cold and stern. He had the demeanor of a superior! Even when he saw Zhang Yang killing the demons one by one, he did not remove his hostility towards Zhang Yang. Instead, he still looked at Zhang Yang with a vigilant gaze, as if he was afraid that Zhang Yang was using a trick, deliberately sacrificing the demons to get close to him, and then launching a fatal blow!

"You're Winchester?" Zhang Yang said. "I heard from Honduras that you were ambushed, so I came to help!"
Winchester looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Honduras? Why would he ask you to save me? I don't have any special relationship with him! "
Zhang Yang said, "Ever since you were ambushed, Leonardo accused Honduras of colluding with the demons and betraying you, and had him imprisoned! In order to protect himself, he could only bring you back alive to prove his innocence! "
"Leonardo, that bastard!" Winchester suddenly shouted, a strong murderous intent flashing across his face. "That heartless bastard! In order to become the master of the castle, he actually colluded with the demons and betrayed his own brother!"
When he looked at Zhang Yang again, the wariness in his eyes was obviously much less. "Warrior, I've suffered a very serious injury. I can barely maintain my consciousness, and I can't fight anymore! If we return to the Vicious-Toothed Castle like this, Leonardo will definitely kill me and find a scapegoat — like you! "
Zhang Yang followed the NPC's tone and said, "Then what should we do?"
"We must first heal my injuries before we can deal with that bastard Leonardo!" Winchester said. "I've been poisoned by the demons, and only the pure blood of a unicorn can cleanse it! Warrior, please help me find a bottle of unicorn blood! "
"Ding! Winchester has issued a quest to you: Pure Blood. Do you accept? "
Accept.
"Warrior, you must hurry. The demon's poison is constantly corroding my body, and I can't hold on for too long!" Winchester said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely retrieve the blood of the unicorn in time!"
"Then it's all up to you!"
Leaving the cave, Zhang Yang rode on the big white bear and opened the new quest in the quest list to see where he should go to find a unicorn.
[Pure Blood] (Quest Difficulty: A)
Quest Description: Winchester wants you to help him find a portion of the pure blood of a unicorn to cleanse his body of the demon's poison! You can find the unicorn Ikaro in the Valley of the Wind, south of the forest.
Completion: Obtain the pure blood of a unicorn: 01
Now that he had a clear direction, things would be much easier!
Zhang Yang ran all the way to the south. Two hours later, he arrived at a huge valley. The valley was filled with towering trees, and at the very center was a lake. It was not big, but the ripples on the lake were very beautiful.
However, even if he reached the place, trying to find a fine horse would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was extremely difficult!
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and decided to wait for the rabbit!
It was obviously not practical to search the entire valley, but beasts still needed to drink water. As long as he waited around the lake, he would not have to worry about not being able to wait for the unicorn to drink water!
After making up his mind, Zhang Yang was no longer in a hurry. He rode on the big white bear and wandered around the lake.
Since he had nothing to do, there were still some herbs that he could dig up nearby. Since he had entered a treasure mountain, how could he return empty-handed? (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
