Murong Shan squeezed the sword in his hand, calmly said: "Kill him in an hour, and sometimes you can cook dinner!"
I looked up at the black face hidden in the armor of the undead commander, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think your 75 quasi-boss is so easy to deal with? Let's live your life!"
At this time, something weird as if seeing a ghost happened—
When the undead commander saw my face, he actually stopped the downward trend of the great sword. A strange sound rang from the armor's body, both like a helpless howl and an angry growl. I was the first time There is an illusion that this undead commander has complicated emotions!
"Wait..." I stretched out my hand to stop Murong Shanshan, and asked her to take back a sword aura that was ready to go.
"What's the matter?" The little beauty was surprised.
I swallowed, and said solemnly: "Wait a second, I think this boss is very different..."
The undead commander raised the huge sword high again, and the sharp huge sword hung over my head and Murong Shanshan's heads. The feeling was almost suffocating.
"Huh~!"
The giant sword tore the air and cut it down at a very fast speed. Murong Shanshan screamed and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw an absolutely incredible scene—
The giant sword of the undead commander was inserted straight into his own chest, a large stream of blue blood poured from the wound, and the long blood bar of the undead commander was "brushed" and almost dropped to the point. The lowest limit.
"This...what the hell is going on?" Murong Shanshan was so surprised that she could hardly speak.
"Boom~!"
The helmet of the undead commander rolled to the ground, and under the helmet was a distorted young face. Although it was eroded by undead toxins, it can still be imagined that he must be a handsome young man before he became an undead.
I don't know what to say for a while. I always feel that this person is familiar, but I am not sure where I saw this npc.
The undead commander slowly pulled out the giant sword, and knelt down on one knee to us, enduring great pain, and the blue blood was constantly splashing on the ground.
"Don't you remember me? Infantry!" The undead commander spoke, and blood began to ooze from the corner of his mouth: "You really seem to have forgotten, my time is running out, well, let me remind you, I It's Lin He, the lieutenant under Ducks of the Golden Knights, have you forgotten?"
It suddenly dawned on me that it turned out to be Lieutenant General Linhe, the npc who completed my mission in Hurricane City, but the point is, how could Linhe fall to this point
"Linhe? Didn't you return to the Hurricane Kingdom with Duck and re-loyal to the Kingdom? How come you are here?"
Lin He coughed heavily, and suddenly said with a bitter smile: "What allegiance to the kingdom, everything is just conspiracy and use. The old king was just to let the Golden Knights defeat the undead army that invaded the hurricane border, and he led us in Dak. When we drove the undead forces out of the border of Hurricane City in one fell swoop, we received a new order from the king—to go to the Valley of the Undead in the Silver Moon Alliance to destroy the undead forces here."
Lin He panted heavily, and then said: "The old king has known for a long time that there is a demon that cannot be dealt with by humans. The Lord’s army, therefore, sent the Golden Cavalry Regiment to destroy the demons. As a result, the forward troops I led never survived, including myself, after being killed and summoned to become the slaves of the demons..."
I was surprised and asked: "Why did you commit suicide just now?"
Lin He smiled bitterly: "Why? Because I can't see the sun again, I don't have the face to see my wife, and my body has rotted beyond recognition. In order to purify my soul, I even tried the priest's divine punishment. It’s a pity that their power is too weak, and it only makes me feel a little bit painful. Dak has been put under house arrest by the old king because of the defeat, and my soldiers have been turned into skeletons. I once promised them to take them home. , But I can't keep my promise anymore."
Lin He's breath became weaker and weaker, and the light of the giant sword seemed to slowly fade as the owner's life passed.
"I know that the puppets outside must have been wiped out by you. In fact, they were originally brave warriors in the Hurricane Kingdom, but unfortunately they were deceived by the undead magic and lost their minds..." Lin He looked up at me and Murong Shanshan. , Suddenly said: "It's okay, I don't mean to blame you, on the contrary, I want to ask you to do me a favor!"
I immediately asked: "As long as I can do anything, I will do my best!"
Lin He smiled slightly, and said with anger, "The undead fire that you have collected is actually a container for imprisoning human souls. In order to let the warriors have more powerful power, the devil’s attendants use this container to The souls of my subordinates are imprisoned and still stay on them, but these souls will only provide soul power to the body, but cannot dominate the actions of the body."
Looking at my puzzled expression, Lin He continued: "You know? The thing I have been looking forward to most is to return to the motherland. I believe that my soldiers must also think so. I hope you can take it with you. They and my soul fire back to the soul altar of Hurricane King City, where our sins and blasphemy will be redeemed..."
I turned my head and didn't want to look at Lin He's painful face again. Suddenly I felt my nose sore that I almost didn't cry. Although Lin He was just a game stat, how could I be different from him? All the time, what I expect most is to return to that warm home. I am willing to give everything in exchange for a word of appreciation from my parents, but in fact, I make them sad again and again. Whenever I think of my mother’s sad eyes, Can't help being sad.
Lin He coughed a few bloody coughs and said softly, "Come on, with my strength, you will definitely get some rewards for killing me. Anyway, I am about to completely dissipate in this space, do it!"
I turned around and looked at the protruding rock on the wall silently, Murong Shanshan bit his lip hesitantly, but didn't do anything.
"Hehe, it seems that you still can't make it. Forget it, I am willing to die under the sacred ruling." Lin He's bitter laughter came from behind. The so-called sacred ruling should refer to the giant sword he held. Right~!
Lin He's pupils began to expand slowly, but the expression on his face was clearly smiling: "I saw it, Qiyun Mountain is full of red dragon wing flowers, and the birds are pecking at delicious and juicy newborn strawberries. , Everything is the same as in previous springs, Elena is taking my little Linyun picking the wind bunched apples that have just grown in the garden, Elena is smiling, she is so beautiful, my little Linyun, don’t be naughty, Dad is back, really back..."
Looking at Lin He's gradually freezing smile, Murong Shanshan leaned gently on my shoulder, tears in her beautiful eyes.
I held back my tears desperately, and patted Murong Shanshan's small shoulder: "Shanshan, don't cry, this is just a task in the game..."
Murong Shanshan shyly wiped her tears, and said in a shy voice: "This damn programmer, why does he design such a plot to earn people's tears..."
Lin He's body gradually turned into sporadic milky white brilliance like feathers. The small room was illuminated in a moment. The book on the desk automatically opened the title page without wind, and there was a six-pointed star on the book page. Slowly rising up, and the brilliance dots that Linhe turned into quickly converged on the six-pointed star on the page, until finally they were all absorbed by the six-pointed star, and the whole room began to darken again.
"Ding~!"
System reminder: Your team has triggered a hidden mission-[Justice Black and White].
[Justice in black and white]: Because of your kindness, Lin He’s soul can safely enter the seal formation in his handbook. Please take this handbook to the soul altar of Hurricane City, where you can release Linhe’s soul in the handbook. The power of the soul leads the souls of many dead soldiers into the purification holy pool.
…
Although Murong Shanshan's mood was relatively low, after all we triggered another hidden task, so the grief was naturally diluted a little.
I picked up the manuscript and flipped it through. It actually recorded Lin He's diary:
"In November 201 of the new calendar, I was appointed as the advance officer by Captain Dak to reach the Canyon of the Dead. It was a gloomy place. Many cavalry fell due to the poisonous gas of the forest. When we arrived at the Land of the Dead, we only saw fear and Death, we were defeated across the board in that battle. The most elite cavalry in the kingdom was so vulnerable under those unconscious undead knives, and in that battle, I was injured. The one who wounded me was covered in black robe. Necromancer underneath."
"In January 212 of the new calendar, two long months have passed. Dak’s main force still hasn’t arrived. There are not many of my subordinates left. I can only rely on the dirty little animals in the Canyon of the Dead to survive. Many people died of eating poisonous food, but I found a more terrible thing: the wound on my arm began to rot, and gradually lost the pain, when half of my body was infected and numb, I finally Understand what happened: I'm going to be poisoned by the undead and become a walking dead!"
"On February 4, 212 in the new calendar, the cold winter was about to pass. I was the only one left in the entire vanguard brigade of more than 5,000 people. There were cavalry corpses almost everywhere in the valley, and some were even dragged by horses. I ran on the rugged stone road until I was dragged to pieces. I think this is the last time I recorded the details of the vanguard. My body is almost no longer under my control. What's more terrifying is that my will is also Slowly disintegrating, consciousness seems to be torn apart..."
"On February 17, 212 in the new calendar, I can almost breathe the smell of spring, but I know that this kind of time is running out. Very strange things have happened in these two days, and I thought my soul was about to be darkened. When it was swallowed, my sacred ruling came out with the power to resist the darkness. This power is too familiar. It reminds me that this sword was once blessed by the temple priests."
"On February 24, 212 in the new calendar, the sacred power of the sacred ruling can only allow me to stay awake for a short period of time, while in other long and dark times I have no idea what I am doing, only when I am awake. I found that the lance was full of blood, and the corpses of the human army were everywhere below the mountain. I think I have really become a member of the undead."
…
The manuscript stopped halfway through the writing. I think this was probably interrupted by our invasion. In general, I now understand what happened. That is, Dak was betrayed by the king and Lin He was betrayed. This lone army remained in the terrible canyon of the undead, while Linhe was transformed into a half-undead death knight, commanding the undead forces to conquer the human army in the small towns surrounding Silvermoon City.
Perhaps, Lin He’s life should be regarded as a tragedy. First, he betrayed the kingdom under the leadership of Dak and became an unowned army, and then betrayed by the old king. He became the minions of the undead and slaughtered his original allies in order to purify himself. Lin He also chose the most extreme suicide. Unfortunately, his death was so trivial that Duck didn't know, neither would the old king know, nor would he feel compassion.
Since Lin He’s death was a suicide, the system only assumed that the experience belonged to Murong Shanshan and me, and that there were no equipment and money. Even if there were, I couldn’t decide whether to take it or not. Lin He’s image is for me. Just like an older brother, I was able to successfully complete the mission in the Pegasus Plains of Hurricane City with his help, and this time, as a level 75 quasi-boss, he chose to self-destruct to allow me to successfully pass the first heaven. , I don’t want to take what he broke even in the game, although the idea is a bit pedantic.
Murong Shanshan looked at me in a daze. She turned her face awkwardly when I turned her gaze on her and said, "It's time to go offline for dinner. Should I continue my mission after dinner?"
I shook my head and said, "No, there are still some things to do after I go offline. I probably won't go online at night."
"What is so important?" Murong Shanshan showed a puzzled expression.
I was surprised to find that I had missed what I said, so I had to tell the truth: "Everyone has to help Xin Yu celebrate her 22nd birthday at night. I can't go if I don't. If I don't go alone, they will go crazy."
Murong Shanshan smiled and groaned: "Really, where is the field reserved? If I go, will they welcome it?"
"You go?" I looked at her suspiciously, and then said: "If you bring a birthday present, I think Xin Yu will definitely have no objection."
Murong Shanshan suddenly opened her eyes and smiled: "Okay, that's it. I'll go pick a birthday gift when I'm offline. It should be done within an hour. Where are you guys?"
"The VIP room b on the 2nd floor of the xx road oo hotel is a banquet that only starts at 6:30 in the evening. For the time being, there are only eight people in our studio. If you insist on coming, I will let them know in advance."
Murong Shan pursed her mouth and smiled, "If it doesn't embarrass you, I will definitely go."
"Probably not..."
