Chapter 472 The Black Knight's Secret Mission
Caredel Yunguan returned to her own body. This time, the experience of traveling in the void broke her longest record ever. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but groan in pain. Her spirit and body were separated for a long time and then reintegrated together. She didn't know whether it was because the energy in the void was too full for her mortal body to bear, or for other reasons, the swelling of her body made her feel very uncomfortable.
She stretched her body slowly, waiting for it to adapt and recover, and then began to move her hands and feet. There was numbness in her thighs, as if they had been completely separated from her body and could no longer be felt. The pain was like flames roasting her muscles. She stood up carefully and pressed lightly on her thighs with her fingers.
His fingers gently stroked across the slender and smooth thighs.
Her brows were slightly furrowed in pain.
Caredel looked at the parchment scroll on the table, which recorded a lot of information about the undead. She had spent a lot of energy to deal with those undead, but she did not expect that the invasion of the abyss would be so terrifying that it easily destroyed the Cloud Crown Kingdom's operations over the years.
There are not many undead left now, and they are not good at fighting. However, what is worse is that when she traveled through the void to the Kingdom of Trees this time, she saw hundreds of thousands of undead!
The huge underground tomb of the Black Knight was like a stone pressing heavily on Careydel's heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
She supported her body and walked towards the table. Because the action involved muscles, her brows frowned even more deeply. She knew that if she wandered in the void like this again next time, she would probably die.
Forcing herself to sit at the table, Caredel picked up a pen and wrote down everything she saw. The Abyss had gathered hundreds of thousands of undead, and their plans must be significant. And precisely because she had seen the power of the undead, she was worried. Could the Cloud Crown Kingdom really stop that power?
Who can stop that dark mass of undead army emitting strong malice and hundreds of thousands of superior transcendent beings?
knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Caredel did not stop writing. She knew that the only person who could knock on her door was her closest maid, and the other party must have something very important.
"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you to come over."
"It's late." She glanced out the window.
In order to retain the undead, the Cloudcrown Kingdom built the entire country like a fairy tale, with rolling green lawns, low but exquisitely decorated houses, and even the clouds in the sky often lowered their heads to the ground.
The night scene is equally charming. Bards will sing in the small square, and everyone will enjoy the world leisurely, which is incompatible with the end of the world. It seems like a deliberately created fairy tale dream.
"Okay, I'll go." The numbness and pain in Careydale's legs were gradually relieved.
When she walked through the castle corridor and arrived at the king's study, she heard him say, "Carridel, look at these."
"What is this?" Careydale looked at the thick stack of papers on the table.
"They are the undead. They hope that we can take the initiative to attack and subjugate the Black Knight." Gareth forced a smile.
It is said that a single person can destroy the Tree Kingdom, and he does not think that the Cloud Crown Kingdom has a chance of winning.
"No!" Carridel shook his head, "I just went to the Black Knight's underground tomb by traveling through the void!"
She told him what she had seen and heard, and Gareth had a hard time maintaining the smile on his face.
Letting the weaker side actively provoke the stronger side will only lead to death.
"What else is so special about the Black Knight's underground cemetery?"
"I was worried about being discovered by the Black Knight, so I didn't dare get too close." Careydale shook his head.
The malice of hundreds of thousands of people was like a wave that almost swallowed her up, and she could also feel the terrifying spiritual power among them, that powerful malice coming from the abyss, she couldn't pretend not to feel it.
"This……"
Gareth actually understood what the undead meant. This group of people seemed to like a leisurely and comfortable development, but they also liked "missions". With Caredale's secret contact, he had already figured out what the mission meant and how to issue the mission. He even knew what kind of mission rewards the undead liked.
The undead now want to take the initiative to attack the Black Knight's underground tomb. The exact purpose is not clear for the time being, but one thing is certain, the undead must have the idea of "doing a mission while it lasts" again.
They really like to do tasks along the way, and the Tree Kingdom is very far away.
Thinking of this, Gareth looked at Caredale and expressed his thoughts, and his guess was also recognized by Caredale.
"The undead cannot be stopped from heading to the Black Knight's underground tomb." Carridel concluded, "They will definitely go..."
The Black Knight's bizarre and incomprehensible corruption ability made her start to worry.
If we let the undead go, it is very likely that they will fall into the hands of the enemy.
Gareth suddenly said, "This afternoon when I was sleeping, I felt the call of the Cloudtop Giant."
"What!" Carriedel opened his beautiful amber eyes wide, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "The Cloudtop Giant is back?"
"Maybe this is an opportunity." Gareth nodded, "We can pray to the Cloudtop Giants again and pray for them to return."
"Go pray now!" Careydale was more anxious than him.
Now is a critical moment of life and death.
The same situation is not only happening in the Cloudcrown Kingdom, but also in the Crow's Nest Cliffs, the Salt Plains, and even spreading to the entire Enstad continent, and then to the Xilu continent, the Serilin continent, etc.
……
Rand Kingdom, Royal Palace.
Raniya frowned slightly as she listened to the report below.
"Hasn't the greenskins been cleared out and expelled?"
The abandoned port forces who believed in the "Sea God" had long been expelled, and even those greenskins who remained in the Rand Kingdom were all killed. The rest fled to the frozen land, hiding in that freezing cold place with almost no survival resources.
The Kingdom of Rand still mainly believes in the Three Gods, but because of Lind, beliefs like the Lady of the Night are also allowed, including Renzo's Lord of Madness.
"And Archbishop Renzo." Someone else reported, "Archbishop Renzo said that the Mad Mystic Overlord has awakened, and he may not be able to resist the Overlord's powerful will."
Gods may exist in various parts of the world.
"What about the Black Swamp Kingdom?"
"There are also various small faiths that claim to have heard the call, and even some undead people have begun to join them on their own initiative."
Raniya raised her hand and gently rubbed her brows to avoid the deep marks left on her brows by frequent frowning.
The undead are born with a desire for power, and a desire for battle and killing. Now all kinds of beliefs are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. If it had happened before the magic ring was broken, a religious war would have been inevitable.
Too much faith is not good for a ruler.
Compared to the headaches and pains of lords around the world, the undead people began to get excited.
The update is finally here!
All the various talk shows and strategy shows immediately began to sort out the power that various regions and religions can bring, the impact on the appearance, etc., and summarized them into strategy guides. It is normal for a continent to have dozens or even hundreds of beliefs. For example, the "Lion Emblem" Lion Knight path that Linde obtained at the beginning can only be upgraded to the level of a great knight. Moreover, the religious power comes from a magical beast, but it can obtain the power of the emblem and become a religion in itself.
Without restrictions, hundreds of religious beliefs cannot be stopped.
……
The Great Underground Tomb of the Black Knight.
Linde first took a quick look at the actions of the Undead in the Demonic Land. They were now keen on exploring new maps and collecting beast echoes, so there was no problem. It was just that some people were complaining about not being able to conquer the Black Knight Dungeon, which was a pity.
Some people also think that Demon Land must be the last map of version 2.0. Since they are already here, they might as well take advantage of the new map to accelerate and enhance their advantages. Why bother running back to the Novice Village and competing for resources with a group of newbies?
The underground city business in the Great Tomb is even more exaggerated than Lind had imagined. As an equipment provider, his costs are actually very low.
The undead want equipment but need to draw lots. They draw from the prize pool with their eyes closed, but the prizes are put in by Lind with his eyes open, so their interests are fully guaranteed.
Our own forces are already like this, and there are also hostile undead. If the Black Knight's underground tomb is taken as the ecosystem, the Black Knight is at the top of the food chain, and everyone cannot avoid him and must provide him with benefits. The undead who develop dungeons fill the middle position, and are ranked according to the popularity and profitability of their "dungeons". The more popular they are, the more money they make.
At the bottom of the food chain are the hostile undead. They have no way to generate income and can only sell various resources from their own country.
Moreover, they are not eligible to draw the lottery if they do not join a faction. If they want weapons and equipment, they can only look at what kind of equipment redemption badges are placed in the treasure chest of each dungeon, and then obtain the equipment by clearing the dungeon. It is equivalent to the equipment that Lind does not want being eliminated and thrown into the prize pool for the undead to draw. After the undead have drawn, they put the equipment they do not want into the treasure chest and wait for the hostile undead to claim it.
The official website forum is more interesting, especially the countries on the Enstad continent. The undead people with only two or three kittens are keen on attacking the Black Knight's underground tomb. On the contrary, the undead people in the tomb don't want to go out at all. They just want to run the dungeon well and participate in the lottery when they make money.
"Sure enough, some people have begun to offer their faith to other gods."
The battle to recruit talent has finally begun.
He needs undead, and those gods also need undead. It is still uncertain whether they will be awakened by the "official". Lind is more inclined to influence rather than directly use some kind of great power to wake up all the gods of the three continents.
"I may not be their only enemy."
He knew very well that it was impossible for gods to live in harmony with each other.
"But I must be the biggest enemy. It is very likely that those evil gods will choose to temporarily put aside their hatred and join forces to deal with me."
Lind looked at the Beast Master.
The other party also said that gods were awakening one after another in the surrounding area, and this war was inevitable.
"It's time to issue tasks to the undead."
He needs to mobilize the enthusiasm of the undead.
……
Silver Wolf once again came to the Black Knight's underground tomb. He had spent all the money he earned from mining and collecting materials.
The tickets for the better dungeons were too expensive, but he was very envious of the equipment inside, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go in. He had always been one of the top undead in the Salt Plains, so he won more than he lost when playing in the dungeons.
The reason why he could come back quickly this time was not because he had dug up materials, but because of the distance between the two places. Even if he rode a mount, it would be impossible to go back and forth in a short time.
But who can blame Silver Wolf for his good luck? He had just shaved himself into a human stick and replaced himself with a set of elite magic prosthetics when he ran into the undead who were robbing and robbing him in the wild.
The Silver Wolf, whose strength had greatly increased, easily defeated the group of people. Instead of killing them, he stripped them.
After playing the game for so long, everyone has already had the experience of "exploding equipment". Undead people will turn into ashes and disappear after death, and the equipment is unlikely to drop.
But there is one exception, that is if you forcibly strip the equipment off the undead while they are still alive, then there will be no such problems and it works every time.
This is enough to show the combat capability of Silver Wolf alone. An ordinary team of undead is no match for him at all. Even at the same level, the gap between people is sometimes bigger than that between dogs.
After selling his equipment and making a fortune, Silver Wolf immediately prepared to challenge the dungeon.
There's no way around it, this thing is addictive. If there's anyone who truly understands the players, it must be the players themselves.
In the game, you don’t need to consider any “bosses” or “rules”, nor do you need to care about costs and benefits. You can build a dungeon based entirely on your own ideas. How can the things you create not be fun?
"Well, it's not open yet."
The Silver Wolf habitually glanced at the White Wolf Swordsman in the A-level dungeon.
Several videos challenging the White Wolf Swordsman have been circulating on the internet. Without exception, the 1V1 White Wolf Swordsman not only has an absolute crushing numerical advantage, but his combat skills are also unmatched by the undead.
If the undead hadn't secretly researched and developed a lot of dirty tricks, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand even a single move.
"Huh?" Silver Wolf was startled, then started to grab the qualification without thinking.
The S-rank Black Knight dungeon is now open!
No matter whether you can win or not, the fact that it is “the first Black Knight dungeon encounter on the entire network” is enough to gain huge traffic, and you will not lose anything.
Silver Wolf was surprised.
The news that the Black Knight Dungeon was opened for a moment and then closed again began to spread slowly.
Silver Wolf certainly would not waste this wave of traffic, and directly changed the title of his live broadcast to "The First Black Knight Dungeon on the Internet!", and started the live broadcast after the change.
A large number of viewers immediately flocked into the live broadcast room.
Five thousand, ten thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand… growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Undead and the Black Knight have never faced each other in person, so everyone is looking forward to it.
Entering the Black Knight Dungeon, there is a wide platform.
The Black Knight stood there in that suit with long horns and a ghostly cape.
He was just standing there quietly, and he was filled with a strong sense of oppression.
The Silver Wolf was facing a formidable enemy.
"You don't need to defeat me." The Black Knight did not attack directly. He said, "As long as you can gain my approval, I have a mission to entrust you with."
