Chapter 657: The Expeditionary Force in the Abyss
Elvis really didn't die in shock, De Ran didn't die but disappeared, and besides, her disappearance was not because she went to the Abyss to find out information or anything, the real reason for her disappearance was that she was controlled by the Lich King.
What could be more sad than being controlled by the enemy for a man who is called a hero? Therefore, after the incident, in order to maintain Delet's dignity, the expeditionary force announced that she was dead, and internally informed them that she was missing, and even, in the tomb group next to the fortress, a tombstone was set up for him, of course, there was no body of her in the tomb, only some things that she usually used.
But Delett has been taken to the abyss for so long, she must have died, right? This is a guess on the part of all those in the know.
Only Elvis still has a little hope in his heart, a person as powerful as Delett shouldn't die so easily, but even if he doesn't die, he should be controlled by the Lich King. The Lich King, that's a demigod-like being, even if Dellet wants to get out of his control, it's not so easy to do.
"It's not like we haven't been to the rescue." Elvis sighed deeply, "This abyss leads to the territory of the undead, it's not that we haven't sent a team to rescue, and even two deputy legion leaders have led several times to attack the Bone Barrier but still found nothing, and there is no news of Delit at all." In the end, one of the deputy commanders was trapped in the bone barrier, and he was not even able to bring back the body. ”
Old Leg was silent for a while, then looked back at Ye Fei: "I'm going to the abyss!" ”
"I'll go with you!"
"Good!" As he spoke, Old Leg looked at Zhao Siqing and the others, frowning slightly, "You also want to go together?" ”
Ye Fei looked at them and said, "If you don't want to go to the abyss?" And it's the territory of the undead, and the environment is more eerie. ”
"Well, then we're not going." Zhao Siqing responded without saying a word, and the other two girls also nodded silently. Although it was a pity that they couldn't do the task together, they also wanted to know what happened to Delet, but they also knew that Ye Fei had concerns, and they couldn't make trouble for them at this time.
Elvis said, "Since you're going to the Abyss, I can have someone escort you down." But before you go, you can go to Delett's graveyard, we buried her things in the tomb, some of them seem to be related to you Legg, I think it's a diary, and some other things seem to be related to the elves. ”
Elvis was vague, but Old Legge had already come down, and since it wasn't Delet's real tomb, he didn't have any psychological pressure to find something inside.
Delet's tomb is located in the cemetery next to the fortress, and the whole cemetery is divided into two levels, one above and one down. When Elvis accompanied them over, he briefly introduced that only those who reached the level of deputy commander could occupy a cemetery alone after they died in battle, and as for the other ordinary soldiers, because there were some places, they could only be buried together.
After digging up the tomb, Old Leg was the first to jump in, the tomb is not deep, in fact, it is a pit, there is no other mausoleum at all, in the sarcophagus in the pit is placed some things that De Ran used during his lifetime. Old Legge threw a quaint box to Ye Fei and said, "This is yours!" ”
Ye Fei picked up the box and looked at it, it was locked, and there was only one name and note: the rusty iron box, which seemed to hide some secrets inside, to find the commander of the expeditionary legion to learn about the past of the owner of the tomb.
Isn't the past of the owner of the tomb the past of Delett?
Ye Fei already knew these things, and he already knew about this iron box when he got it, so to speak, because of Old Leger's intervention, the task line of his treasure quest was disordered, but even if he knew Dellet's past, it would have no effect on this iron box.
Ye Fei groaned, but since it was written on the iron box, let's go to Elvis and ask again. Unexpectedly, before Ye Fei could ask, Elvis had already looked over here and said, "This is one of Delet's boxes, which contains her private collection, and the key is here, so I kept it as a souvenir." ”
With that, Elvis handed the key over.
Ye Fei took the key and smiled bitterly, if there was no old Leger, the normal process would be that he would arrive at this place, dig out the box, and then ask Elvis for news of Dellet, and then Elvis would give him the key. Now, the process is reversed, but the end result is the same, he gets the key.
"What's in there?" Because they hadn't set off for the abyss yet, Zhao Siqing and the others hadn't left yet, and they all came over curiously to look at the iron box in Ye Fei's hand.
The box was rusty, but the key was brand new, and it was clear that Elvis cherished the key. Ye Fei opened the iron box, and there was only a bookmark lying quietly in the palm-sized box.
"Latecomer, I know you're looking for me!" Ye Fei read out the handwriting on this note in a low voice, and was shocked in her heart, latecomer, did she know that someone would find this note?
Zhao Siqing and others were also curious, just this sentence, they had the urge to read it.
"If I'm right, you must have come here through a treasure map and got my key from Elvis or someone else to open the iron box, right? Hehe, I'm not showing my ingenuity, I just want you guys to know that I'm not a stupid person, after I was controlled by the Lich King, I instead saw something that I couldn't see before, war, endless war What is this all for?? ”
Seeing this, Ye Fei was completely dumbfounded, could it be that this note was left by De Li after being controlled by the Lich King? In other words, she didn't completely lose consciousness after being controlled by the Lich King, and judging by what she wrote, she instead saw something else, and then she returned here and left this note, and even, that treasure map was also circulated by her?
Zhao Siqing only felt chills all over his body: "I think this Delite is planning something." ”
"Maybe, otherwise she wouldn't have needed to make us find this note in this way.
The note continued: "I see something, I don't think the war should go on any longer, we should join forces with them against the real enemy." They are powerful and omnipresent, and they possess powers that are almost comparable to those of the gods. Our forefathers are fighting against them, and what about ourselves? But here there is a civil war for personal gain! Come and find me, and if you are aware of the crisis, come to the Abyss to find me, for the impending destruction we need to work together. ”
"Your sister, she's talking about the Desert Temple." Ye Fei took a deep breath, and from the last paragraph of this note, it could be seen that Ali, the real enemy that Delight was talking about should be the Desert Temple, and the so-called ancestors in her mouth should be the Light Mist Legion formed by Emmons.
"It seems that the next expansion should be the battle with the Desert Temple." Ye Fei put away the piece of paper, but he didn't know that this time he had guessed completely wrong, and the Desert Temple was far from the time to appear.
Ye Fei had already gotten useful information here, and the next destination was the Abyss, but he was still wondering, didn't those people know when Delit came back? He looked at Elvis and asked, "As far as you know, did Delit ever return here after being controlled by the Lich King?" ”
"Nope!" Elvis said categorically, "I never noticed that she came back, what, did she leave anything in the box?" ”
Ye Fei shook his head: "I'm just curious and ask." ”
Zhao Siqing glanced at Ye Fei and asked in the team channel, "Why didn't you tell him?" ”
"There's no need for this, I always feel that this Elvis is a little weird."
"Strange?" Several girls secretly looked at Elvis, but at this moment, their instincts collectively failed, "I don't think there's anything strange." ”
"Maybe I'm thinking too much."
Ye Fei muttered, and saw Old Legge jump up from under the tomb, his face was red, his eyes were red, and he snorted and said, "Let's go, let's go to the abyss now." ”
"Very well, I'm going to the Abyss now!" Ye Fei said, "But I'm going to send them back now." ”
He was talking about Zhao Siqing and others.
Zhao Siqing hurriedly said, "It's okay, let's just go back by ourselves." ”
Elvis also said: "Don't worry, my people will escort them back." ”
"It's okay, it's just a few steps." Ye Fei said, regardless of the opposition of others, he sent Zhao Siqing and the others to the entrance, and then watched them leave one by one with the scroll of returning to the city, and then he relieved himself and returned to the entrance of the abyss.
Old Legge seems to have gotten his hands on Delet's diary when he was in the tomb, so he kept looking at it below. At this time, he had become very patient, and waited until Ye Fei came back before he stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
Elvis ordered to concentrate his fire, opened a passage for the two, and watched as they rushed into the entrance to the abyss!
With the old Legg here, Ye Fei almost 'flew' all the way down, the speed of this old dwarf is not comparable to ordinary people, Ye Fei has no choice, he can only spread his wings and 'fly' down in a semi-gliding attitude. After about two hours, the light at the entrance had almost disappeared, and Old Legge suddenly stopped, he grabbed Ye Fei, who was caught off guard and almost rolled down, and the two fell to the stone walls around the cave together.
Old Legge asked in a deep voice, "What did you see just now, in that iron box." ”
"It's a letter left by Dellett." Ye Fei didn't have anything to hide from Old Leger, he took out the letter paper and handed it to Old Leger, "Look, is this written by Delet?" ”
"She wrote it." Old Legge glanced at it and said with great conviction, he kept looking at it, suddenly his eyes paused, and he exclaimed softly: "Hey, she has been back?" ”
"Yes, she returned to the Stronghold after being controlled by the Lich King, but Elvis said she didn't notice that she ever returned to the Stronghold. I think she must have returned not long after being controlled, leaving the letter in the tin box, and then the key. Speaking of this, Ye Fei was suddenly stunned, he always felt that there was something wrong with this place, but after thinking about it again, he couldn't think of anything wrong.
Old Legge finished reading the letter, then nodded and said, "She's in the abyss now, that's no problem, we just have to go find her." I just heard you say something for Elvis and I think there's a problem, sure enough! ”
Ye Fei smiled bitterly, and the problem was raised. If Delight was able to return to the Stronghold, why didn't he meet people, and why did he return to the Abyss, just because he was under the control of the Lich King? I'm afraid it's unlikely, and besides, how can she, as a slave controlled by the Lich King, be safe in the Abyss? Judging from the tone of her letter, she seemed confident that she would be alive!
Old Legge continued to hurry, and Ye Fei followed with great effort. I also feel sorry for Old Legger, the person he likes is controlled by the Lich King, and this guy should be eager to tear the Lich King to pieces.
This time, Ye Fei's speed through the abyss was much faster, and he came to the exit in almost half a day, and when he came out of the exit, he came to the territory of the Abyss Undead Clan, the Thousand Shadows Forest. As for the Bone Barrier where the Lich King, the king of the undead, lives, there is still a long way to go in the distance of about two days north from this entrance.
However, as soon as they landed, there were already countless demonic beasts that had died and turned into undead spirits rushing out to fight, and the level of these demonic beasts was not low, all of them were about level 80 to 90, and occasionally there were one or two elites mixed in.
"It seems that if it weren't for Old Legger, this task would be really difficult to complete." Ye Fei muttered secretly in his heart.
Old Legge killed the undead one by one, and after about five minutes, no undead creature rushed out again, but in a pile of gray-black grass, a person came out with a probe in his head: "Hey, adventurers, come here!" ”
Ye Fei was stunned: "There are still humans here?" ”
"Of course, we're from the Expeditionary Force, come over here."
Ye Fei and Old Legge glanced at each other and followed him over, and soon, the two of them walked into a secret enchantment that covered all their breath, and a small camp composed of six or seven camps and more than twenty NPCs appeared in front of them.
The first thing he said after seeing Old Legge and Ye Fei was that the soldiers here asked, "Who are you and how did you come here?" ”
"Who are you?" Ye Fei asked rhetorically.
"I'm Darlow, Lieutenant of the First Regiment of the Abyster City Expeditionary Force, what about you?"
Ye Fei looked at them in amazement, he never thought that there would be such a place in the Thousand Shadows Forest of the Abyss, where there was actually a small detachment of the expeditionary force.
Moreover, this is the ranks of the 1st Regiment of the Abyster Expeditionary Force!
A flash of inspiration flashed in Ye Fei's mind, and he suddenly thought of their mission: "You are here to find Delit Shattered Cloud?" ”
"Not bad!" A look of surprise flashed across Lieutenant Darlow's face, "How do you know that this mission is very secret, could it be that there are new changes on it?" ”
"How long have you been here?" Ye Fei asked.
Lieutenant Darlow thought for a moment and said, "It's been several years, and I can't remember the exact date. We followed the Deputy Commander here, and we searched everywhere for Dellet's whereabouts, but found nothing, and even a few of our brothers infiltrated the Bone Barrier, but we couldn't find her. Later, the brothers who infiltrated were discovered, and the deputy commander was trapped in the bone barrier in order to save them, and it is estimated that he has been killed. And we have been trapped here because the losses are too heavy and we can't find a way to return to the surface world safely. ”
Ye Fei was speechless, these guys have been trapped for so long?
Old Legge muttered, "Have you ever heard from Delit over the years?" ”
"Nope." Lieutenant Darlow sighed and said, "During this time, we basically lived in the wilderness of the Thousand Shadows Forest, and we didn't dare to inquire about the news at all. ”
"And what about the Lich King, is he still in the Bone Barrier?"
"I don't know much about that, but there's a town of the undead ahead - Deathknell Town, maybe you can check it out. Of course, it would be better if you could bring a few companions with you, the guards there are not weak, and if you are discovered, you will have to use violence. ”
As he spoke, Lieutenant Darlow took out a piece of white bone fragment: "This is a fragment that has been inflicted with a secret method, and after using it, it can temporarily cover the aura on your body and turn you into an undead." ”
Partner!
Ye Fei took the white bone fragment and asked, "I have a lot of partners, but none of them followed me into the abyss, and they are still in the outside world." ”
"Then there is no way, if you can find enough energy crystals, we can also open a temporary teleportation array, but I don't think you have so many energy crystals on you."
There is no shortage of energy crystal Ye Fei, but he doesn't feel the need to bring so many people over, after all, he still has Old Leg.
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Then forget it, old Leger, you can go with me." ”
"No way!" As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, Lieutenant Darlow said, "Our white bone fragments are too weak to hide such a huge aura on his body, he will be recognized by people after he enters, if it attracts the attention of the Lich King, we are all finished." ”
"I'm dizzy!" Ye Fei was depressed for a moment, since Old Leg couldn't go, then he was the only one who went, he was an assassin, and it wouldn't be too much trouble if he sneaked in.
After deciding, Ye Fei asked Lieutenant Darlow for the coordinates of that place, and then sneaked over alone, however, when he walked to the coordinate place, he was stunned to find that the entrance of Death Knell Town could not be entered directly, but a portal.
Copy?
Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, but he still walked towards the portal, but when he was about to step into the portal, a force blocked him out and the system asked: "Do you want to go to Deathknell Town alone?" There's more power out there than you can resist, so gather more of your companions to come along. ”
