Chapter 553 Requirements of the Diagram Master
This is the result that Li Weidong did not expect. The reason why he left the astrologer's life is that he hopes to use it as a bargaining chip to resurrect the soul of President Mr. Yuan Tian, but he didn't expect that although the astrologer was just a cold NPC, his personality was so strong that he directly ended his life!
However, one thing is worth gratified. Although the astrologer disappeared with his suicide, his personal belongings have been retained, which is the nine artifacts that the NPC guild has been looking for. Li Weidong checked and checked the mixed world treasure, the nightmare badge, the golden bottle, the crown of the king, the demon shield, the shadow song staff cheated by the cunning grocer, and the frozen heart captured by the ice copy task. Another crazy pendant is a strange necklace. There is a ferocious skull on the thin metal collar, and there is a blue glow in the eye socket, as if it will come to life at any time, which is very terrible.
This crazy pendant is probably the artifact collected by Wang Xiaomao, the NPC planting boy in Luoxia Village. What makes Li Weidong a little strange is that there are only eight in total, but the astrologer clearly said that the nine artifacts have been collected, so what is the last artifact and where is it? Where did you go?
The astrologer brought the artifact with him before he died, indicating that he wanted to wait until all the nine artifacts and dragon saints got them, and then destroyed them together with the ice melting furnace, so it was unlikely that he would only throw one of the artifacts in. However, Li Weidong looked around the ice furnace, but still couldn't see the shadow of any artifacts. Is it that the astrologer made a mistake? It doesn't make sense.
Shen Tian's eyes were still closed at this time, that is, there was no sign of waking up, and her body did not disappear. Li Weidong was thinking about her safety, and the lost artifact could only be ignored for the time being. First, he put the remaining eight pieces into the carry-on package. However, one thing calmed his anxious mood a lot: the reason why the astrologer issued a fake task took so much trouble to deceive Shen Tian and throw it into the ice melting pot to destroy her body, which also shows from another perspective that Shen Tian is indeed likely to resurrect.
Just who should I go to now? The astrologer committed suicide, and the so-called "rescue saint" entrusted task was also cancelled. Li Weidong's current taskbar is blank, and the mission plot is broken here. If you go directly to Mr. Yuan, the president of the guild, all the previous 43 dragon guards were killed by the Spider-Man army, which is the Iron-blooded Dragon Knights known as elite warriors. If Mr. Yuan is angry because of this, Li Weidong is not afraid, but whether it will affect Xiao Tiantian's resurrection? No one dares to guarantee this.
On the other hand, Mr. Yuan has always been hidden. As the full-name president of the guild, he seems to have never hosted anything. If it hadn't been for Shen Tian's entry into the game this time, Li Weidong would have even ignored his existence. What is the reason for this man to keep such a low profile? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Holding up Shen Tian's petite body, Li Weidong couldn't help but hesitate. At this moment, the wolf god pricked up his ears, slightly bowed his waist and lowered his front paws, and roared at the tunnel he walked in. Li Weidong quickly turned his head. Sure enough, there was a sound of footsteps in the tunnel. Although it was slight, Li Weidong's hearing was keen, and the cave was relatively close, and more than one person faintly heard the footsteps.
The ice copy is really lively today. Is it an accomplice of the astrologer's ambush in advance? Li Weidong frowned. There was nothing in this cave except the bottomless deep pit in the middle. There was no place to hide, and he had no intention of hiding any more. Carry Shen Tian on her back, casually find a cloak from the package and tie her to herself, then take out the blade of flame and hold it in her hand to be on guard.
Soon, a man in a gossip robe appeared at the entrance. Li Weidong was slightly stunned. He was no stranger to him. He was the second vice president of the NPC guild. Behind him are two people, one is the daily task of the Forgotten City NPC Dart Master Li Er, and the other is the teleportation messenger. Both of them are also members of the NPC guild.
Seeing Li Weidong, the three NPCs were obviously surprised and said coincidentally, "Roligan halo, are you still alive?"
"What, it's unexpected, isn't it?" Li Weidong had a knife in his hand and said coldly, "The astrologer is dead. If you also want to follow in his footsteps, you can do it."
The gossip master quickly said, "No, no, no, respected warrior, please don't misunderstand. We already know that the astrologer betrayed the sacred dragon clan, and we know that you have been deceived by him by robbing the dragon saint from the guard. In order to stop the revival of the Holy Dragon Clan, this traitor not only wants to use the ice melting pot to destroy the saint and the nine artifacts together, but also wants to remove you. When we received the news, we rushed here from the Forgotten City. We thought it was too late to stop the astrologer's plan. I didn't expect you to be alive..."
The gossip master's words were somewhat beyond Li Weidong's expectation. Originally, he thought that even if the three hexagramists were not members of the astrologers, they might not listen to Li Weidong's explanation because of the robbery of the saint Shen Tian. Most of them were going to have a fierce battle. Unexpectedly, these three people had known the truth of the matter, and even the astrologer's plan was clearly investigated.
Of course, if you understand it literally, the hexagram master seems to count him as his own side, and he does not mean to pursue the death of the dragon guard too much, or at least it has not been shown for the time being, which is also a good thing. However, Li Weidong was not relieved. Instead, he felt that something was wrong with his intuition. He frowned and thought for a moment. The astrologer issued a fake task for him to rescue Shen Tian from the guard, including the ice melting furnace at the place where the task was handed over. It seemed that in addition to the astrologer and him, only the Dark Queen and her subordinates knew about these things. And the Spider-Man with the mentality of repaying kindness has no reason to snitch with the unknown NPC guild. As for the forty-three dragon knights, there is no one left who has died, so where did the so-called news obtained by the gossip master come from?
Things seem to have become a little weird.
"So that's it. I thought the astrologer's plan was seamless. I didn't expect it to be revealed so soon." Li Weidong tried to say lightly, "It's Mr. Yuan, the president, who sent you here, right?"
The three people probably guessed Li Weidong's doubts and looked at each other and smiled. The gossip master said, "Dear sir, this is God's guidance, just like you can survive the traitor' conspiracy, just like the holy dragon clan that has been sleeping for thousands of years is destined to wake up. Don't you think it's all this is God's will? My warrior, your heart must be full of questions, but please believe that soon you will know the truth of the matter and be proud of your brave choice at this moment.
God? Is there a worse excuse than this? However, since this man doesn't mean to say it directly, there is no need to rush to ask. Compared with Li Weidong, of course, he is more concerned about Shen Tian. After thinking about it, he said, "Well, since you said that the revival of the sacred dragon clan is God's will, you must first resurrect the saint before unlocking the seal of the dragon clan. You must have a way?"
This time, the gossip master nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, hooligan aura, in fact, that's why we came here. However, the saint's bloodline inherits the will of the sacred dragon clan. Ordinary spells cannot awaken her soul, and must rely on the power of the fountain of life. However, the Fountain of Life is the birthplace of the Holy Dragon Clan. It is a secret that our people regard as more important than life. No foreigner is allowed to enter. Even the Creator sealed our clan at the beginning, and could not find the Fountain of Life. And you..."
The legend of the sacred dragon's spring of life is indeed mentioned in the background story of the mixed-world game, but it is just a legend. It is said that this magical spring contains the power of life, which has created the strong strength of the dragon clan. It is acceptable to use the power of the fountain of life to awaken Shen Tian's soul, but Li Weidong certainly can't agree to separate Shen Tian from him.
"Resolutely not." Li Weidong interrupted the gossip teacher and said firmly, "No matter what reason you have, I will never give you the saint. To be honest. With the traitor of the astrologer, I won't trust anyone now. Even if you can resurrect the saint, you must be in front of me, otherwise you won't talk about it.
The gossip master's expression suddenly became serious and said slowly, "Please don't misunderstand, respectable warrior hooligan aura. Your heroic deeds have always been deeply remembered in the hearts of every descendant of the dragon clan. Although we can't publicly express our respect for you because of the identity of the dragon clan **, please believe that everything you do for the sacred dragon clan will always be engraved in the history of the dragon clan. You are our greatest hero, the monument of the revival of the dragon clan, and will be more glorious and brilliant because of you!"
After a slight pause, the hexagram master looked directly at Li Weidong, his eyes were bright, and said solemnly, "Your Hooligan Halo, as the inheritance of the blood of the Holy Dragon Clan, Her Royal Highness has been sealed in the Temple of Light for thousands of years. It is because of your righteous help that she was rescued. Our people are deeply cherished for your generosity and justice. Thank you. If you would like to visit the holy land of our clan, it will be a great honor for every descendant of the dragon clan, but the clan rules handed down from ancient times cannot be changed. Therefore, after the discussion of the secret guild, including other descendants of the dragon clan, we unanimously asked you to join the sacred dragon clan. If you agree, we will be blood brothers from now on. We will trust you more than trust ourselves. Everything of the sacred dragon clan will not hide anything from you!"
"Join the dragon clan?!"
Li Weidong couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that the gossip master would put forward such a request in a big circle. It was not enough for him to join the NPC guild, and he also wanted to completely become a member of the dragon clan!
From what I said just now, it can be seen that the dragon clan, including the NPC guild, did hide a lot from him, which was obviously out of distrust of aliens. Although Li Weidong has joined the NPC guild for a long time, experienced dangers and completed one task after another, the real purpose of the dragon clan is still uncertain, and the direction of the task plot can only rely on speculation, or more on intuition. From this point of view, joining the dragon clan may solve many of his questions, but what will be the consequences of doing so?
The words that the astrologer said before he committed suicide came to my mind: "Ruffian aura, you don't know what kind of disaster will be brought by what you do today. Is that unfortunate prophecy destined to come true? ...If this is the inescapable fate of the Holy Dragon Clan, please allow me to give you one last piece of advice: Don't believe everything you see. The world, including our secret guild, is far crazier and more depraved than you think..."
There is a saying that people are good at dying. Li Weidong doesn't think that an NPC will deliberately lie in that situation. And what he said about what the disaster means, there is no way to know what the madness of the dragon clan has reached and what the final outcome will be, which is even more unpredictable. Li Weidong didn't even know that if he really joined the dragon clan, he would have a chance to return to the real world...
However, although there are a thousand and ten thousand reasons, Shen Tian can't ignore it! Li Weidong took a deep breath and said, "Is this also God's will? So, how can I join the Holy Dragon Clan?
When he said this, he had prepared for the worst, or ate something similar to the dragon fruit like Xiao Tiantian, or did some strange ritual, even if it didn't matter if he replaced the blood in his body. But Li Weidong didn't expect that what the NPC gossiper said was an outrageous request that stunned him.
"It's very simple. As long as you swear that when the saint's soul is awakened, you will marry her as your wife. The saint is the highest glory of the sacred dragon clan, and also represents the supreme authority of our clan. If you marry the saint, you will be our leader from now on, and all the descendants of the dragon clan on the mixed continent will be at your orders. - Dear hooligan halo, this is our final decision. Would you like to?
