"The dungeon, the ruins, the legends, the secret treasures, well, although I don't know what kind of enemies there are, but according to the manipulation I have experienced before, there will definitely be no shortage of difficult guys. The copy has all the qiē elements...... Hey, I suddenly feel that the future will be full of all kinds of indescribable unfolding for a long time. Lu Xi sighed, looking at the team of knights in front of him who began to pack their luggage and prepare to pack on the road, and suddenly felt that his expression at this time must be very distressed.

"Wouldn't it be perfect to explore the ruins once and all the problems will be solved?" Karin couldn't help but comfort.

"It's because it's so perfect that I always feel that the demonic spirit is really big. A smooth start generally means a more lustful process! Anyway, I have a hunch that this time, if we don't walk on thin ice carefully, maybe we will be wiped out? ”

"This is also your magician's sixth sense? It's really unlucky. Karin glanced at Lu Xi angrily: "Why aren't you optimistic?" Maybe it's because the goddess likes us more, so Yiqiē will be so smooth. ”

"Even if it is a god, it must be a god who likes the climax and sudden changes in the gods to expand and super-expand. Maybe it's because the goddess likes us more, maybe she prefers to arrange all kinds of wonderful moments for us. ”

"Maybe. But strictly speaking, isn't it your own fault? Karin covered her mouth and smiled, "When you were in Songjiade, didn't that female swordmaster tell you how she died?" ”

She only said that she could reach her eternal resting place through the Guò Jingxi Cave, and she wouldn't tell me anything more. I also pressed my index finger to my lips and said what was forbidden.,Sell a handful of cute.。 ”

"Wow. To make people do things without saying them clearly, this is really superb. The Nord barbarians are really unreliable. ”

"According to the female swordmaster. The dead cannot reveal too much information to the living, otherwise it will disturb the balance of the whole world. She entrusted me with an errand. If it goes too far, it will inevitably attract the interference of the Valkyries. So, I had to sell it maliciously. ”

Karin shrugged her shoulders noncommittally and said with a smile: "Okay, in short, the dead must abide by the rules of the dead, and the living also have things to do with the living, so I can only say, try to cheer up." Whether it's success or failure this time is up to you. ”

"You have so many masters under your command, you can't let me decide success or failure anyway, right? Let's just talk about the star-eyed Lady Gresa. You can beat me five at a time, but not more. ”

"Little Lu Xi I know is not such a humble person." Karin looked at Lu Xi with a smile and said in a very unreasonable tone: "Why, if you can live and die for that barbarian girl, can't you do your best to help me once?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Xi blinked, and he was pretending to be confused.

Karin couldn't help but give Lu Xi a vicious look, and then handed over a copy of the Cold Harbor Times. This is the largest local newspaper in the Frozen Valley, although it is not as big as the news giants of Neosfia's "Ocean" or "Neosfia Post", but it can be regarded as the most prestigious media in the northern part of the continent that is relatively "savage", and its tentacles have even penetrated far into the Virgian Empire. Many of the newly-founded tabloids founded by the Nords were no match for them. Both the circulation and influence have been completely blown up by it.

Lu Xi flipped through the cover, saw that the date was today, and then what caught his eye was the huge news headline on the front page, "The Establishment of the Throne of the Virginia Empire - The Age of the "Empress" of the Nords".

"It turns out that they have already taken the oath of the reserve!" Lu Xi sighed slightly. Then carefully discern Artoria's expression from the blurry mosaic-like picture, but there was no way, the image intercepted with the image crystal was very unclear. Even the pixels of a copycat phone from another world can't be compared.

Although the picture is very unclear, Lu Xi can at least see what happened in general: the knight princess is wearing a silver and gold-trimmed ceremonial armor. Pestle fell to one knee in front of his father with the sword of victory of the oath and bowed his head. Emperor Otto held a dragon-patterned headband made of Mithril. Slowly slip it on top of Artoria's head.

This is the second time since the last separation, Lu Xi saw Artoria's appearance, and his heart was suddenly filled with complicated and relieved feelings: "Artoria, our family's natural stay is also going to take on the responsibility of the king of a country!" In other words, this kind of love as if I want to watch myself pull up a little bit, and my daughter, who has never been far away, wants to leave home to go to college? ”

Lu Xi took a deep breath, and then handed the newspaper back to Karin: "It turns out that Artoria is going to become the future Nord Empress?" But what does this have to do with what we are doing today? ”

"You gave her a crown, so you should give me one. The eccentric little Lu Xi must not be a good Lu Xi. ”

"I'm a civil servant in the Federation, so it's impossible for me to help you fight the civil war."

"Who said you were going to fight a civil war? The succession to the throne is a very elegant thing, and as a glorious Aucklander, you can't be as bloody as a Nord barbarian. If there's a bloodless way, then why not? ”

If she wants to say it, she will say it; If she didn't want to say it, she would definitely be like this now, for fear of fooling people into death. Lu Xi felt that the current conversation would not be nutritious if it continued like this, so he shrugged his shoulders undeniably, got up and began to pack his things.

No matter how reluctant he is, no matter how much he feels that this incident is full of demonic energy, this copy that devoured the lives of a sword saint and several super powerful people, Lu Xi has no choice, and his golden thighs jumped out at this delicate moment and brushed his feelings angrily, properly not to pit the host uncomfortable.

Just after the legal Lori's witch lady explained her past history, the following translucent system panel popped out of her sight:

(Triggers A-Rank Mission: Call of the Ancients.) Victory Condition: Help Rosalie? Bourred arrives in the ancient giant city of Goodetheas and obtains the Treasure Zero Hour. Failure Condition: Rosalie? Bourred dies or Goodeteas is ruined. Victory reward: 25,000 experience points, 20 attribute points. Skill point 5, talent "Titan's Body". Failure Penalty: Gain the curse "Ancient Hatred". Constant every Monday at 0:00 sharp, besieged by 6 Titan Undead. ）

(Triggers A-Rank Mission: Heart of the Sacred Spring.) Victory Condition: Help Karin obtain the ripe Heart of the Fountain fruit before the New Year. Failure Condition: Karin dies or has exceeded the time limit. Victory conditions: 30,000 experience points, 25 attribute points. Skill point 10, talent "Praise of Radiance". Failure Punishment: -10 Luck of the Auckland Empire, Gain the title "Infinite Dick Silk", -2 Opinion of Everyone, -90% Skill Cultivation Efficiency, and XP Required for Upgrade *4. ）

Talents like "Body of Titan" and "Praise of Radiance" naturally didn't know their attributes until they were obtained, but just by hearing the name, Lu Xi's saliva suddenly flowed all over the place. But. Even if there is no reward, the punishment brought by the failure of the mission is enough for Lu Xi's fighting spirit to burn. As the protagonist, he is definitely unwilling to be a dick for the rest of his life, and he is even more unwilling to be beaten by a group of giant undead who mess in every week. Although I don't know that the Titan's undead are a divine beast, it sounds particularly sharp, even if the combat power of these dead is only half of when they were alive, such a punishment is not much different from obliteration.

Anyway, when the time comes, I can only see the moves, and I just hope that a qiē can be smooth, and don't make any more extraneous branches.

Although Lu Xi thought so. But at some special moment, it seems that the big hand that arranges fate in the dark likes to work against the parties. When everyone was about to set off, they encountered another accident.

It is well known that the former Crystal Creek and the caves where it originated are a popular tourist destination. The Dominion government built stone paths and permanent structures on the mountainside before the cave. This row of buildings is all in the architectural style of ancient elves, accompanied by the snow-capped mountains and forests in the distance and the flowing water and meadows in the distance, which also looks very elegant, including a hotel jointly operated by the government and a chamber of commerce. A local restaurant and a guard tower.

At its peak, there are usually about twenty rangers stationed in the watchtower. On the one hand, he is responsible for the day-to-day protection of the forest, but the more important responsibility is to collect admission fees to the Crystal Creek Caves and maintain law and order in the tourist area.

Of course. Since no one has succeeded in panning for gold in Jingxi all year round, and there has been no progress in the study of caves, the enthusiasm of the world has naturally faded, and the passenger flow has been greatly reduced in recent years, and even a figure cannot be seen for two or three weeks in the worst time. The number of stationed personnel of the forest ranger team has also been reduced to five, and the main business and side business have been reversed, and it is precisely because of this that Karin was able to use the "merely" 1,000 gold coins to charter the entire tourist area for a month.

But coincidentally, someone really came at this time.

Lu Xi and his team met this group of "tourists" when they were at the guard post of the Tongguò Forest Ranger, and they were extremely curious about each other's dress, so they looked at each other with big eyes.

Needless to say, Lu Xi's side is here. There were more than forty people in the group, all of whom were elite guard knights under Karin's command and senior students of the military academy. No one walked, and the mount under the crotch looked like a high-breed war horse from the army, and the horse was fit. Cloaks and coats are finely stitched, warm and durable, and although they are chosen in inconspicuous gray tones, the weavers and materials are not to be concealed by those who know the goods. The best armor and weapons, though hidden beneath the thick robes, occasionally reveal the reflection of scales and claws. Such an unprofessional cover-up is even more dazzling in the eyes of those who have a heart.

A group of knights armed to the teeth, but without any coat of arms on their armor. What does it mean to cover up? That's it. What is self-deception? That's it, too.

If the other party is an old man who often comes out to the world to eat, he will naturally make the above judgment. However, it was obvious that these people seemed to be a group far from violence and killing, and they looked at the fierceness of Karin and her group, and even a little evasive and fearful, but they did not deliberately hide the curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes.

The leader was a man of his forties, with brown hair mixed with a lot of gray, quite tall, but lean, and looked a little weak. He wore a simple gray travel coat, a travel pole in his hand, and a large backpack on his back.

He squinted and smiled, with a pair of eyes on the bridge of his nose, looking very kind and elegant. It stands to reason that this is a very scholarly person, but I always think that he is gentle and elegant, but his aura is a little worse, and he feels like a teacher who is too good-tempered and popular with students but not very prestigious.

The middle-aged man, who looked like a teacher, also brought four followers, two men and two women. One of the men and two women were young men in their twenties, dressed almost the same as middle-aged people, and were supposed to be traveling companions; The rest of the man was a halfling who was only half the height of an adult, and his appearance was not good-looking, but when he smiled, he was a very pleasant group.

Considering that in RPG stories, the squinting and glass-wearing and very kind "professors" are all big bosses, Lu Xi glanced at each other a few more times with kryptonite dog eyes, and then came to the conclusion of "waste material level 1, level 35 scholar".

Scrap timber tier? This is really a long-lost test, that is to say, this guy is a complete ordinary person, and his physique is even a little weak.

As soon as Lu Xi put his mind at ease, the middle-aged man of the "waste wood" level spoke: "Excuse me, did you wrap up the Jingxi Cave?" (To be continued......)
