"I wonder what mission do you want me to complete for you, City Lord?”I asked carefully, looking at the ruins around me. This definitely wasn't Blackdirt City. The current lord of the city was just putting on a nice front. However, if he were to suggest that I help him take back Blackdirt City, I would rather die.
The guards on both sides were called out. There were only the two of us in this dilapidated house. If we killed him, then the ten great city lords would all disappear. Why didn't he notice anything? My mind was filled with random thoughts.
Jiang Tianyi looked at the kid on the ground and made up his mind. Forget it, forget it! I can wait, but my daughter can't wait that long either. Even though the kid in the underground seemed to be so hard to trust, it was not easy to find a high-level player.
"Lord Jiang, it seems that Blackdirt City has already been conquered by an organization called Ask the Heavens?”I probed. He should hate us players very much right now. Why would he want me to complete some quest for him? I thought about it in confusion.
"Not bad! This old master's Blackdirt City has not been able to hold on, and was eventually breached by you players. However, this old master still has 500 valiant soldiers under me. As long as I can occupy a region and develop, there will still be opportunities in the future! "You don't have to look at me like that," Jiang Tianyi shouted angrily.
"How dare I! I was thinking that since you have so many mighty soldiers, I took a rough look. There doesn't seem to be any below level 60. Their levels are so high. What mission did you ask me to do? I'm only level 43, what can I do for you?”I quickly added, F * ck! He had such a big reaction when he looked at me with a sideways glance. However, this was truly a large group of experts. He really didn't know how Wentian had managed to take down Blackdirt City. Sigh! What do I care? You should be more concerned about my mission and rewards!
After hearing my answer, Castellan Jiang's expression clearly improved. He said,"So that's what you're thinking. Actually, only you players can help me complete this quest. We can't go there!”
I see, then I can rest assured, hehe! I don't dare to offend that person now. I can't go anywhere. I suddenly remembered that strange forest last time. It can't be that place, right? I won't go there again even if I'm beaten to death. "Oh! I wonder what the City Lord's mission is. Where is it? A place that you can't go to must not be simple, right?”I said. I don't care where I'm going, I should at least get more for myself!
"Underneath Blackdirt City!" Jiang Tianyi said word by word.
Haha! I secretly rejoiced in my heart. So this was my old nest. Now, it was Wentian's territory. If they returned, they would automatically be attacked by the guards there. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to return, but I could easily enter. I thought that the mission personally assigned by the City Lord would be very difficult. -- But later on, I deeply regretted having such thoughts.
Jiang Tianyi ignored my smug expression and told me the mission I wanted to complete. It turned out that all of this was for his daughter. His daughter, Jiang Sishui, was 18 years old this year. As the saying went, a beauty at 18 years old was like a flower. Even handsome men would fall for her! Jiang Sishui was Jiang Tianyi's darling, but because of her beauty, the young masters of the top ten cities came to propose every day, breaking the threshold. But Miss Si Shui didn't like any of them. Because she was young, Jiang Tianyi couldn't rush her too much. He just felt that his daughter was more ambitious than the sky.
However, Shui Shui coincidentally met a poor scholar and felt that he was talented. She fell in love with him and became loyal to him.'(Haha!) Because of this, Jiang Tianyi was quite angry. He had been a hero all his life, so why was his daughter so disappointing?
In the end, one of his strategists had taken the initiative to poison the scholar to death. She thought of Jiang Sishui's fiery personality and swallowed a poison from the white-robed scholar's arms. She remembered that the scholar had once said that this was the only thing on her body that she could not touch. There was no cure. She had to remember it! In the end, she swallowed it without thinking.
Jiang Tianyi immediately gathered all the doctors in the city. His life was saved, but his daughter could not wake up no matter what. Moreover, her beautiful face was as black as charcoal after this incident. Her body kept getting fatter and fatter, and no matter how much treatment she tried, she did not get any better. After half a month, there was still no trace of blood coming from her, and her body was already as round as a ball. Jiang Tianyi had already made up his mind. If there was still no other way, he would end his daughter's life with the sword in his hand.
At the critical moment, a mysterious Taoist priest came and stopped Jiang Tianyi in time. He poured out a drop of black water from a gourd and effectively stopped Miss Sishui's illness. However, this water could only alleviate the effect and could not completely cure it. And the source of this black water was actually a place he had long known about. It was Blackdirt City's most secretive place, and also his secret-the Underground Dragon City.
Unfortunately, when Jiang Tianyi was so happy that he could be saved, he did not pay attention to the Taoist priest. In the end, when he came back to his senses, he had already disappeared. Until now, he still did not know how he knew about the secret of the underground dragon city. From then on, Jiang Tianyi had always sent his trusted aides to retrieve the Black Water and maintain his daughter's condition until the city was breached. Now that he was no longer the highest ranking officer in Blackdirt City, he could no longer enter as he pleased. Furthermore, only players could enter the city, or else it would trigger the traps. Therefore, he had no choice but to order his butler to help him find a person with a suitable level and equipment.
After listening to his introduction, I was slightly surprised. I didn't expect it to be for his daughter. "Good! I promise to get the black water for you, but the city lord can't let me work for nothing!”
"You! Do you know that the Underground Dragon City is our Blackdirt City's top secret? How lucky are you to have the chance to enter it now? Sigh!" He said helplessly.
"This is your reward!" A white jade fist-sized object appeared in his hand.
"City Seal?" I asked excitedly.
"Not bad! "The City Seal is the only thing that hasn't been destroyed by the original City Lord. I, Jiang Tianyi, swear that as long as you get the Black Water Lotus of the Underground Dragon City and save my daughter, I will give you the only City Seal on the Black Tortoise Continent." He looked at me and said arrogantly.
Heavens, it really was a City Seal! With it, the city would have an additional defensive barrier, which was equivalent to increasing the city's defense by more than 50%. This was simply double insurance for the sturdy city.
The original nine major cities fell into the hands of the players, and the nine City Lords did not escape the fate of death. However, before they died, they destroyed the symbol of the City Lord, the City Seal. Hence, no one knew what use a City Seal would have in the hands of a player. However, a 50% increase in a city's Defense was something that all organizations, especially the current City Lords of the Nine Major Cities, regretted. He blamed himself for not being able to snatch it back then.
"Good! I will definitely complete the mission!" This reward is too big, so big that I think it's worth it to call all the elites of Brotherhood to complete it. As long as the War God's Dragonsnake appears, we can attack from behind. Any mission will be easy to complete. I thought proudly.
"Oh! "Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Underground Dragon City has changed a lot since our last city fell. You can only go alone for this mission now. You can't find any helpers." Jiang Tianyi's face was still as dark as before, but he looked more annoying than before.
Why didn't you say so earlier? Unfortunately, my quest bar had already shown that I had accepted this quest. Looks like I'll be the only one going. Seriously, I originally wanted to rely on War God and the others.
After asking for directions, I realized that we were indeed near Blackdirt City. However, I can't go there yet. My equipment needs to be repaired, my medicine needs to be replenished, and I still have to return to the organization to see if there's anything. I thought as if I had vented my anger.
When I returned to the four directions, I saw something that puzzled me at the entrance of Silver Mountain's house. There were many low-level players from the organization surrounding the entrance of the Blacksmith Shop. The high-level players should have been sent by the God of War and the others to undergo Hell's leveling. I looked inside and immediately understood.
In the most eye-catching spot, Ge Zi was blushing and staring blankly. Broken Thorn was standing in front of her and staring angrily at the person in front of him. This scene was something that was rarely seen even in a thousand years. Who was the person who made Broken Thorn so angry? I really wanted to see. I walked around to the side, and it was actually the Dark Emperor. This guy, he was the only one in the game who was covered in a cloak. What was he doing here?
"You're really a stubborn guy. You want to chase after my goddess just because you have the ability!”The Dark Emperor mocked. He was even looking at the grid lewdly. It was really disgusting.
"Who are you, the guy with the big bones under the cloak?”Duan Ci had already drawn his sword and said angrily.
"I, I am the Emperor of Darkness, I am the King!”He said loudly, his dark aura was obvious.
This result might have been out of Broken Thorn's expectations. He had never thought that this guy he had seen a few times before would actually be the third most powerful person on the Level Rankings. Although they had fought in the underground mine before.
"Square! I really like you. With your reputation and brains, plus my strength and money, we'll be a perfect match!”The Dark Emperor said cheekily.
I'm dizzy! He actually took a fancy to the grid. There were really people who wanted to die in this day and age! Hehe! We already knew that we had to look at the grid to break the spikes. God of War and I were already laughing enough. I didn't expect that this guy with bones all over his body would do the same.
He said to Broken Thorn arrogantly,"To tell you the truth, kid! I'm from Sheng An Company. Ge Zi can get whatever she wants with me. Can you? You're a useless guy. What right do you have to snatch it from me?"
Broken Thorn looked at him coldly without saying a word. This was his heartache. He was still struggling on the poverty line. If he didn't have this game and didn't have so many friends, he couldn't even imagine what he would be like now.
"Although we are not as rich and powerful as you, we are not afraid of a guy with bones, right?”Seeing Broken Thorn being humiliated, I quickly came out of my hiding place.
I nodded at Broken Thorn and glanced at the awkward square. I turned around and made a disdainful gesture at my opponent. I pointed up and greeted him.
" You…" The Dark Emperor was so angry that he was about to use magic.
" I'm here. Who's afraid of you, a guy covered in bones? As long as you're not afraid of the city guards, just do it." I deliberately angered him, hehe! I'm also very strong when I'm a rascal.
" Good, good, you two. Broken Thorn and Silent Ruyan, right? I remember the two of you. I think the two of you will be participating in the martial arts tournament this time. I'll see you on the battlefield." After saying that, he waved his wide cloak and the people on both sides quickly made way for him.
"Nothing, right? Broken Thorn?" I quickly walked over and patted his shoulder.
"Nothing, thank you!" His expression was a little gloomy." I want to be alone for a while." After saying that, he slowly walked away. However, when he passed by the grid, he paused for a moment and then quickened his pace.
"Aren't you going to say something?" I looked at the grid.
"What are you talking about? Some things were better left in silence. This might be the best ending!”she said calmly.
No way, this is possible? The feelings in the game, sigh! How did it pass in a flash? "Who can tell me what happened just now?”I said to the people below.
"I know!" "I know!" The person who explained it to me was Luoyi Bujue, so I immediately knew what was going on. I didn't expect Square to become so famous at the auction. Countless people asked about her, causing Brotherhood's reputation to skyrocket along with her. Many players, especially male players, treated her as their goddess. Along with Cher and Yearning Lemon, she was one of the three goddesses of the male players. The later Blackdirt City Lord, Night Rain Xiaoxiao, was also known as the fourth goddess.
However, Xue 'er and Yearning Lemon were both high and mighty, and usually no one could come into contact with them. Ge Zi was a businessman, so of course, the people who came to look for her were unnoticed. Not counting the Dark Emperor, seven male players on the leaderboard had come to confess their love to their goddess.
Haha! Hahahaha! I couldn't laugh anymore, and my checkered face turned red again. Her red face was rarely seen in history, and she actually turned red twice today. It's just that her admirers have never eaten the food that our Miss Puzzle cooked. It's really a pity. When I think of this, I can't help but laugh. After laughing enough, I quickly told him about the mission I received today.
"Only you can go? If God of War and the other melee players went, the danger would be much smaller!”After all, we really need the reward for this mission.
"There's no other way. City Lord Jiang said that only one person can go for this mission. I'll try my best."
"I didn't try my best, Xiao Mo! The City Seal was too important! Our Square City will be a commercial city in the future. Its defense will definitely not be as good as other cities. I've been worried for a long time. If we have this City Seal, everything will be solved, Xiao Mo! You must get it!" Squid explained.
Sigh! Instead of finding help, the burden became even greater. After preparing everything, I deposited the Deep Wave Armor and a few other pieces of equipment in the bank. I'll put on the Deep Thoughts Necklace first. This is much better than the Spiritual Necklace I have on me. I originally wanted to give the God of War Armor and Warsong Necklace, and I'll use the Abyss Wand. However, both of them aren't around and are crazily leveling up. I'll use them first. My battle armor is much better than the Deep Wave Armor, and with the Deep Thoughts Necklace, I'm much more courageous.
He had been teleported to Blackdirt City. For some reason, there were no trees around the city. The tallest trees were only short shrubs, and the grass was sparse. In a fair world that was famous for its scenery, this was a special place. Blackdirt City stood in a pure black place where not a single blade of grass grew.
After entering the city, there were many players inside. It was not as desolate as the outside world. When we reach the inner city, there will be occasional NPC guards patrolling. If we follow Jiang Tianyi's instructions, it's best to kill one of them and get the waist token to sneak into the palace. However, now that I know who the City Lord is, there's no need to go through so much trouble.
I walked to the inner city gate and was immediately blocked by four Level 70 guards. "Stop! Who dared to barge into the palace?”One of them shouted.
"I'm a friend of your City Lord. Please inform me!”I said with a smile.
"Oh! Then may I ask for your name so that I can report to our City Lord?”He also became easygoing.
"My name is Silent Ruyan. Your City Lord knows me!”After saying that, I saw that he had no intention of moving. His three fingers were still twisting wildly as if they were cramping.
F * ck! I quickly put 2 gold coins in his hand and he came back to life.
"Please announce it quickly, Big Brother!" I said with a smile, but in my heart, I was already greeting all of his female family members, including his side family members. You say he's a branch from the NCP, pui! He could only kill the wrong person and not let them go. After I said that, he immediately went in. Money was still the most attractive. NPCs nowadays were even more snobbish than real people. I was starting to admire this game more and more.
After waiting for a while, what a coincidence. It was Night Rain Xiaoxiao who came out and was smiling at me.
"Good! Beauty!" The past was gone, so I smiled and greeted him.
"Good! Xiao Mo! Long time no see, how are you?" she said.
"It's alright! I haven't congratulated you on becoming the City Lord as you said!”I said happily.
He didn't expect her face to show a hint of helplessness. In the blink of an eye, she recovered. "Alright, come in and take a look! Don't always stand outside!"
Under Night Rain's lead, this was my first time visiting the City Lord's mansion. This was much better than the mansion I had seen in Square City when I had applied for territory. The huge hall was supported by a pillar in the center, and there were ancient carvings on the side, making it seem simple and brave. It seemed that Night Rain still retained the style of City Lord Jiang.
There were quite a few members of Ask Heaven, and Night Rain Xiaoxiao introduced them to me. I also told them my purpose for coming here, and after getting permission, I bid farewell to Night Rain Xiaoxiao and began my journey of exploration in the palace.
Following Jiang Tianyi's instructions, I went to the City Lord's seat and took out the key he gave me. I opened a small door behind the seat. There was a small box inside. I gently opened the box and a few poisonous arrows immediately shot out. I gasped for breath. This was really dangerous. A poisonous arrow like this could take at least 2000 HP, and my current HP was only 1840. Although it was far more than other mages and was about the same as a swordsman, I still couldn't block such an arrow.
After waiting for a while, there was no response. I then turned the box around. There was a key inside. It could be said to be exactly the same as the key to open this box. However, if there was a mistake, I would not even know how I died.
Just as I said, I found a stone that was whiter than the others in the garden. I twisted it hard and the hole beside it opened. It was dark inside. I took a deep breath and walked in. It was a long corridor, and it was very steep. In some places, one even had to climb to the next step. Although it was still a game, the fear was slowly increasing. Imagine walking in the dark for more than 10 minutes, and there was still a long bottomless tunnel below. What kind of situation would it be?
"Damn it, why would I accept such a mission? I'm the first person to be scared out of my wits by playing games!”Helpless, I blamed myself loudly. In the end, he started to sing as he walked down. He thought of some jokes from an unknown period and gradually forgot his fear. After a while, he arrived at the place.
There was a large iron door in front of them, and on both sides were two Stone Golems holding axes. Jiang Tianyi had said that if it was not a person or an NPC, these two Stone Golems would be revived. Each of them was above Level 200. No matter how many people came, they could instantly kill them. This was a change that had only occurred after Blackdirt City had fallen. No matter how many men he had, they could only reach this point. There was no way to enter.
I took the key and prayed to the Buddha Group in my heart before carefully inserting it in…
F * ck! I couldn't help but curse. There was still a tunnel behind the door, but it was much wider than the outside. It was more than ten meters wide. I no longer had any fear. For the sake of the mission, I walked inside again.
"It's not like it's the Great Path to Heaven. Why did you make the tunnel so long for no reason in this stupid game?”I cursed as I walked forward.
Zzz! I heard a strong wind blowing past my head. I quickly dodged and an arrow grazed my scalp. I dodged in time and only lost 80 HP.
No way, there are monsters, and they're even humanoid. I used [Investigate] to look at the guy in the distance. Dark Archer: [Level: 40, Attack: 30-42, Defense: 80, HP: 1000, Special traits: Fast attack speed, good at running.
Not bad, not very strong, and his defense is very low. Other than his speed, he is not a threat to me at all. I used an Ice Bullet to slow him down, then a few Fire Bullets passed by. Unfortunately, he shot at me a few more times, but I easily dodged them and died under my flames.
Later on, there were the Chaos Guards, Fallen Guards, Death Guards, and so on. Other than the Chaos Warrior King, the others were at most Level 45, so they were easily killed. However, the Chaos Warrior King had 10000 HP and high Defense. It was as strong as a Medium Boss, so it took a lot of effort to kill it. The Death Guard was Level 43, Attack: 55-70, Defense: 199, Health: 2600. Special Skill: Self-Destruct. This self-destruction caused me to suffer quite a bit. Every time a Death Guard was about to die, his speed would suddenly increase by four times. He would charge at me like a madman and continuously explode around me. Every time, he would blow up more than half of my HP. It was really terrifying, so I definitely wouldn't let them get close to me now. As long as he shot a Lightning spell when he sprinted, it would be triggered. If he paid more attention, it would not be a threat anymore.
However, this part of the road was full of stops and monsters. It felt very fast. After a while, they reached the end. Unexpectedly, in front of them was a large iron door that was more than ten times larger than the previous door. What was behind this door? Would it be another endless road?
Puzzled, I reached out to push the iron door. With a creak, the door opened…
