Chapter 365 Death Knight

["The Life of a Spy in Online Games", different styles, different writing methods, a taste of urban life in the game, ISBN 30185]

Ten minutes later, when we came near the green dot, we finally saw its true face. As Murong Shanshan said, this place is indeed a large manor. In Western terms, this place should probably be called an ancient castle.

The gate of the old castle was already corroded. I just stretched out my hand and pushed it, and the heavy iron gate unexpectedly fell down. I was a little startled, but found that the gate did not make much noise when it fell, and there was not even a speck of dust.

Murong Shanshan frowned slightly, and said, "Lin Fan~~I suddenly feel a little scared~~"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here." I smiled back, stretched out my hand to hold her soft little hand, and said, "Don't worry, it's just a not-so-big castle. What can there be in it? It's nothing more than some rotten skeletons, or the vampire count lying in the coffin."

Murong Shanshan pursed her lips and followed me into the manor without saying anything.

Everywhere was desolate, suddenly a wild cat jumped into the grass from the steps of the old castle, Murong Shanshan was startled and screamed, her face paled, and she leaned closer to my arms.

On one side of the inner courtyard of the castle, there are actually several tombs covered with vines.

I took a closer look and saw that it read: "Baron Ross of Thebesburg".

"It turned out to be a baron, but why did the tomb be placed inside the manor?" I couldn't figure it out, and asked again: "Shanshan, why do you say that?"

Seeing me kick the ball to her, Murong Shanshan immediately said: "Could it be that he doesn't want to part with his own manor, so he hopes to bury himself here, so that he can crawl out of the cemetery in the middle of the night and go into the house to make some tea or something?"

I was terrified by what was said, so I glanced at her and said, "Aren't you very scared just now?"

Murong Shanshan nodded, and said innocently: "Yeah, I'm still a little scared..."

I looked up at the wooden carved door of the castle hall, and suggested: "Let's go in and have a look, maybe we will really gain a lot,"

Murong Shanshan smiled and said, "Do you want to see the castle princess in evening gown?"

Castle Princess.

I shook my head and said, "No, I don't like Western women. Western girls' skin is too rough, and their butts are so big. We oriental beauties are more flavorful~"

Murong Shanshan was quite satisfied with my answer, and then she dragged me to the front of the main hall of the castle.

It's weird, the textures on the carved door seem to be slowly turning, like a bunch of earthworms put together, wriggling slowly, looking extremely disgusting.

"Go and open the door..." Murong Shanshan held my arm tightly and whispered.

A fool can also see that there is a problem with this door, and I naturally know it too, so I pulled out the Sword of War Song, handed it out and smashed it against the door.

"Squeak~,"

The door opened with a strange sound.

Dust was flying, and it seemed that no one had disturbed this place for a long time.

But soon, I overturned my own idea, because, on the table not far away, there was a glass of drink, and there was a little heat, and the morning sun shone in through the window, which seemed a little warm.

The sun was shining brightly, and the little beauty who was also in high spirits walked up, looked at the contents of the cup, and said with a smile, "Hehe, it's still a coffee-style hot breakfast drink~,"

I was about to start a conversation, but at this moment I heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairs, Murong Shanshan also hurried to my side, her face became tense, she looked at the stairs, where the voice came from.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

There was a voice from upstairs, very old, it sounded like an old man.

Immediately afterwards, he turned the stairs, and we finally saw the appearance of this man: a black mage robe with many wrinkles, it seemed that it hadn't been washed for a long time, this man was an old mage, and he was holding a black staff in his hand, with a huge sapphire inlaid on the top of the staff.

The old mage was very angry. He looked at us and asked in a loud voice, "Answer me, who are you?"

Murong Shanshan was startled slightly, and I quickly replied: "We are adventurers from Silvermoon City. This place is barren and has been occupied by undead forces, but there is still life in this castle, so let's come in and check it out. If there are undead forces, we will fight to eradicate them."

When I said that I was an adventurer in Silvermoon City, the old mage's expression softened immediately, but when I said that I wanted to eradicate the power of the undead here, the old mage immediately turned cold again, and said: "You guys go, there is nothing you need to find here, I am the only one here, please don't disturb my cleaning here."

Murong Shanshan was quite surprised, and asked: "You said you were cleaning up here, but the surrounding area is completely barren, and you can't even find a single crop. How do you live? Don't you eat? Just now I saw that the thing you put in the teacup should be some kind of grain powder. Where did you get this grain? Also, when we were outside, we saw that this place is full of dust. The door has not been touched for at least a month, which means that you have never left this door at all. How did you live for so long? ,"

I've known about Murong Shanshan's ice and snow intelligence for a long time, but I didn't expect that she could see so many clues in such a short period of time. Her words left the old mage at a loss.

"You don't care how I live, you go out quickly, or I will be rude,"

The old mage raised his staff, and powerful magical energy began to condense at the tip of the staff.

Murong Shanshan glanced at me and asked, "What should I do, run away or continue to kill him?"

"It's impossible to sneak away, that would be for nothing, and it's even more impossible to kill him. Didn't you realize that he's just an NPC? He's not a monster at all. Why should we kill him? Since the designer of Yueheng designed this character, the following plot must be tricky. Don't be afraid, just wait and see,"

As if to confirm what I said, when the old mage's magic was about to be completed, he suddenly covered his chest, his thin body bent down, and he squatted on the stairs without a word.

"Tick tock~,"

A drop of dark red blood fell from the plywood, leaving a shocking plum blossom on the white stone floor.

Murong Shanshan said in shock: "He's injured, should we rescue him?"

I shook my head: "We don't even have an OK stretcher, what can we do to save others?"

Even so, I went up the stairs with my sword in hand, stood still in front of the old mage, and asked, "Old man, what's the matter with you?"

The old mage stood up with difficulty, his already dark clouded face became weaker, panting heavily, he still said: "I'm fine, you guys leave quickly,"

I looked down and saw a hole in the clothes on his chest, the rags of the robe were scattered, and the skin underneath was black, and it even seemed to be dead.

The shape of the hole is very obvious, it is the trace of being pierced by a sword. When I killed the Mage of Merry World, I often poked out this kind of hole.

"Old man, who hurt you, the wound is already full of toxins, why don't you use purification magic to detoxify,"

The old mage looked up at me, shook his head and said, "It's useless, this kind of corpse poison is extremely powerful, and ordinary purification magic can't get rid of it at all."

I wanted to summon Hongye to try it out, but since he said that, it probably won't help if Hongye comes out. If I remember correctly, Hongye's Mana Dispel is only a primary skill and has not yet been advanced.

At this moment, there was a "dong dong" sound from upstairs, accompanied by the sound of things breaking.

We were immediately alert, and were about to go up to see what happened, but the old mage stood in front of us like a flash of light, and said sternly: "You are not allowed to go up, otherwise I will really do it."

Murong Shanshan and I looked at each other in blank dismay, and it became more certain that there must be something upstairs.

I said: "Old man, what are you hiding, can't we help you?"

The old mage looked at us and said sharply: "You are just ignorant human beings who claim to be righteous. You will not give up the ridiculous idea of ​​​​upholding justice in your heart. I will not need your help, and you do not need to be so hypocritical. Go away, you are not needed here."

Murong Shanshan glanced at me, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do, break through or give up?"

I can't make a choice, it's impossible to force it, everyone is civilized, it's too disharmonious to force it, and I don't want to give up, after all, I've spent half the morning here, if I give up without any gains, it's really not in line with my usual style.

At this moment, the sound of "Gada Gada" came from the ceiling above our heads, and at the same time, the piece of wood began to emit a bewitching purple light.

"Kach~,"

The ceiling was pierced, and the edge of a giant sword had already been inserted, and the giant sword began to cut the ceiling, and it was about to circle around.

The old mage turned pale with shock: "Oh my god, how could this happen, master, what on earth are you trying to do?"

"Crack ~,"

As the wood chips flew across, the whole piece of the ceiling fell down in the air, bringing out a lot of dust, and it also emitted a faint blue light, which seemed to be like a magic circle.

"Boom~,"

The ceiling made a loud noise when it fell to the ground. After the dust settled, there was a knight kneeling on one knee in front of us. The big sword used to cut the floor was still in his hand, and it was inserted straight into the ground. There were complex patterns floating on the blade, wandering around as if it could move.

"That's... the Rune Sword," Murong Shanshan covered her mouth in surprise.

I frowned, rune sword, isn't that the best two-handed sword wholesale mass-produced by the leader of the undead vanguard, Death Knight.

Seeing my doubts, Murong Shanshan explained: "I've seen this sword on the forum before. It is said that it was made by a group of human elites who degenerated into puppets of the undead, that is, after the death knights. It has a very powerful magic power attached to it. I think it should be at the level of a spiritual weapon."

At this time, the old mage had knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Master Rose, why are you bothering?"

I suddenly realized that this knight is the owner of this castle, Baron Ross.

Ross raised his head, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His expression surprised both Murong Shanshan and me. This is not a face that a human being should have at all. The dark circles under his eyes are ridiculous. Even the right side of his face is beginning to show signs of decay, but the muscle tissue is still in good condition. Most importantly, Ross' eyes are really surprising, without a trace of human expression, he looks like a cruel murderer.

Ross looked at the old mage and sneered, "Lal, you are my housekeeper, do you think that your magic can really restrain me forever?"

I was surprised again, the old mage was actually Rose's butler, a death knight's butler, no wonder he was so NB.

The old mage looked resolute and said: "Master, no matter what, I will not let you fall into the abyss of sin and sell your soul to the evil necromancer. Although it can bring you endless power, you also lose the meaning of life. Your relatives and friends have all left you. Don't you realize it?"

Ross let out a ferocious laugh, and said, "Dear ones, friends, what do I want these for? Endless power will satisfy me. I no longer need the cowardly feelings of human beings. Why, the sword in the morning hasn't sent you to hell yet?"

As he said that, Rose stood up, and the blue magic patterns on the ground were torn up by him like spider webs, and they were about to be broken.

The old mage was shocked when he saw this, and quickly raised his staff and chanted obscure spells loudly, and the net-shaped magic lines became tighter and tighter like silkworms. In a blink of an eye, the death knight Rose was bound to the ground.

A lot of sweat began to break out from the old mage's forehead, and he supported it quite hard, but he still said gently: "Master, give up struggling, it will save you from a lot of pain, this magic circle is the soul magic that I used my life force to pull, and ordinary weapons have no effect on it at all."

Rose on the ground barely raised his upper body, looked at the old butler in front of him, and said, "Lal, is this your loyalty to me? Why do you bind me with life energy? Don't you feel sad for your rapid aging?"

The old mage smiled wistfully: "Sadness, I have been immersed in sadness since my master became a death knight. The only thing I can do for my master is to prolong the process of your complete transformation into a death knight, even if I sacrifice my life, I will not hesitate. This is Lal's loyalty,"

As he spoke, the old mage slowly bowed to Rose, his whole body almost lying on the ground.

Murong Shanshan glanced at me and said, "Lin Fan, do you believe in such loyalty?"

I said, "I don't believe in men, but not in women,"

Some people say that love is the purest thing that God bestows on human beings, but human beings bind love and passion together.

Rose looked very painful. He hugged his head tightly, gritted his teeth, and raised his head with difficulty and said, "Lal, come here... let me take another look at you..."

My heart moved, no, there was something wrong with Rose's behavior, maybe the two of them were suspected of breaking their backs.

Rose's voice brought life back to the old mage's haggard face. He knelt and walked to Rose, and said excitedly, "Master, are you willing to give up the temptation of power? Great, we can..."

Halfway through the speech, the old mage suddenly couldn't speak. Standing behind him, we only saw the edge of the rune sword protruding from the old mage's body, and the blade was full of blood.

Ross laughed wildly: "Lal, don't you understand? For me, power is greater than everything. I can give up anything, including your life. Use your blood as the rune sword to open the power of the curse. You are already loyal,"

Ross flicked the rune sword vigorously, and suddenly, the body of the old mage Lal fell to the corner of the wall like a broken leaf. He fell on the ground, coughing up a lot of blood, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and sorrow.

The life magic that bound the death knight was also gradually losing its effect due to the rapid loss of the caster's life. Rose was already trying his best to watch the magic circle. It seemed that his skills broke out in a few minutes.

I hurried to Lal's side and asked, "Are you okay, do you have anything to explain?"

The old mage coughed up a mouthful of blood again, and said intermittently: "In the end, I still failed... I failed to take the master back from the devil's hands. He has completely lost his mind. Now, he will soon become a real death knight... A death knight is extremely powerful. You must stop him. I can't make him regain his humanity. Then, the only thing we can do is destroy him. I hope you can help me do this..."

"Ding~,"

System prompt: whether to accept Lal's entrustment.

I quickly clicked "Yes", and soon, the task came out.

[Eradicate Death Knight] (task level, orange)

Task content: Kill the death knight Rose and destroy the rune sword.

...

Looking up, Rose has completely broken free from the shackles, and now, walking over with the rune sword.

I stood up, and Murong Shanshan added the life protection at the same time.

This time, I can finally see the power of the legendary death knight.
