Split personality

"Before I make a decision, I have one more question."

A quarter of an hour later, Jing Pengtao, who had finished discussing with Zhan Qingqing, stared at Su Mo and said word by word, "What's the relationship between you and that fake prince?"

After the tragic battle in the cave, Jing Pengtao could no longer naively think that all this was a coincidence.When he and Zhan Qingqing persuaded Busa to change course before, Chu Han took most of the credit.At that time, he only felt lucky, but now that he thinks about it, it may not be that simple.

In addition, it is impossible for Jing Pengtao to naively think that Chu Han and Su Mo are brothers like Princess Ellie.As a player, he knew very well that when he entered the script, there was no such person as Chu Han.

"You can think of us as one person."

Su Mo's explanation is also very rogue, of course he will not tell the secret of the second personality.However, this explanation is enough, at least it made Jing Pengtao think a lot, and roughly guessed the direction of Su Mo's mission.

"So, your mission is indeed related to the fake prince?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Jing Pengtao's eyes, not aimed at Su Mo but at themselves, "Since the establishment of the group, Chi Yan has cooperated to complete no less than ten scripts, and has completed world-class scripts as many as four times. Until today, I have Understand how lucky Chi Yan was before."

In this script, the Chiyan mercenary group was like fools, and was played around by Su Mo and Ghost Face from the very beginning.

Son, how could Jing Pengtao not guess that Chu Han entered the main world through the entrance on Sol Island?

When he was in Sol Forest, he didn't suspect that the entrance was at the Temple of Poseidon.Thinking about it now, I can't help but regret that I believed Su Mo's nonsense and didn't stick to my own judgment.

However, as soon as the regret arises, it disappears.There is no other reason. The clue of the temple is too obvious. If Su Mo dares to tell this lie, he must have enough confidence to hide it.Therefore, even if they did go, nine out of ten they couldn't find the entrance. Shi Xingze who went with Su Mo was a good example.

After mocking his side, Jing Pengtao fell silent again;

Nelson and the others are not far from 'Hill's Treasure', and there is not much time left for Su Mo.Even so, facing Jing Pengtao's hesitation, although Su Mo frowned slightly, he did not urge him.

After half a quarter of an hour, Jing Pengtao finally made up his mind after several struggles, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay! On behalf of Chi Yan, I agree to enter into a cooperative relationship with you! However, I still have a few requirements. If you can't meet them, even if you work hard!" At the risk of mission failure, Chi Yan will also choose to quit!"

Su Mo said noncommittally, "Tell me."

"You and Ghost Face are willing to give up the B-level main mission, which means that the mission you have received is higher and the rewards are more abundant... But correspondingly, the risk factor and difficulty are also greater!"

Jing Pengtao stretched out three fingers, and said seriously, "First, Chi Yan needs to get complete information, including the risks and hidden dangers; second, if the mission is too risky, Chi Yan has the right to withdraw at any time; third, If conditions permit, Chi Yan will cooperate with you as much as possible, but it is absolutely impossible to blindly follow your two orders."

With the tragic lesson from the cave, Jing Pengtao had long since given up on recruiting Su Mo and Ghost Mian into the group.Similarly, it is impossible to continue to blindly believe or even listen to the judgments of the two of them.The conditions he put forward seem to be three, but in fact there is only one Chiyan mercenary group, and the loss cannot be afforded;

Chi Yan was no more than a black iron-level mercenary group. Although only two people died, the blow to them was still huge.Quitting the script now is undoubtedly the safest and most appropriate choice for Yu Chiyan.

However, it is not the most correct choice;

From the moment Chu Han became a fake prince, the script had deviated from the original plot.And as the plot slowly unfolds, the risk of this script gradually increases.When a powerful individual like Queen Saiyan appears, which is far beyond the player's tolerance limit, the difficulty of this script is no less than that of ordinary demon worlds.

But then again, it is true that this script is becoming more and more dangerous, but which script in "Dream Paradise" is safe?

Chi Yan can escape this time, what about next time?What about next time?

Avoidance will never solve the problem, but will only make the problem bigger and bigger.Because of this, even though deep down in his heart he really wanted to quit, after discussing with Zhan Qingqing, Jing Pengtao decided to take a gamble.

Of course, there is still a way out; as long as Su Mo can agree to the conditions proposed by Jing Pengtao, Chi Yan at least has the initiative to withdraw and leave at any time.

"Okay, I agree."

Surprisingly, Su Mo agreed very easily.

He promised so happily, but Jing Pengtao was confused...

"Do not misunderstand."

As if he had read Jing Pengtao's mind, Su Mo immediately smiled and said, "We do have conflicts with Qing Yu, and we will use Chi Yan's power to eradicate them as a last resort. But that's all. As for the next task... Don't mention you guys, Ghost Face and I are also ready to withdraw at any time."

The last sentence is true, Su Mo is crazy and true, even in the last script, he and Leant did a crazy move to destroy the world.But being crazy doesn't mean being brainless, nor is it being blindly arrogant.

If they can turn upside down like the last script, maybe Su Mo and Ghost Mian will really have a 'wave'.However, with the gradual development of the plot and the appearance of more and more powerful individuals, Su Mo's ghost face or Chi Yan Qingyu have gradually become the background board.

Such an aggrieved death is not acceptable to Su Mo and Ghost Mian.Therefore, even if Chi Yan didn't mention it, he and Ghost Mian were also ready to withdraw at any time.

After the conditions were settled, Su Mo didn't talk nonsense, and directly shared the epic hidden mission with everyone in the Chiyan mercenary group.

The moment they received the mission prompt, not to mention Jing Pengtao and Tao Pei, even Zhan Qingqing and Shi Xingze who were following Nelson and were about to reach their final destination were terrified.

"Wow! Damn! Where did the epic level come from..."

"Xingze, shut up!"

"Uh……"

Zhan Qingqing was also stunned. Although she was well prepared, she never expected that the task Su Mo shared with them turned out to be the legendary s-epic level!

And it's still a hidden mission!

However, her stunned performance seemed much more normal compared to Shi Xingze who was screaming and jumping up and down.

Shi Xingze's sudden 'convulsion' aroused great vigilance of Pastor Busa.Fortunately, Bian Long covered his mouth in time, and explained with a face of cold sweat, "My brother's head is not very good, Master Busa, forgive me, forgive me..."

Busa was still full of vigilance, until Nelson also followed suit, and then reluctantly revealed it.

Seeing this, Zhan Qingqing was slightly relieved;

No wonder Busa is so vigilant, after all, they are about to find the legendary treasure that has been sealed for thousands of years!

Busa is powerful, and Zhan Qingqing is also a magician who has changed jobs, and is very good at fire magic.With the addition of two people, plus Nelson's sense of the treasure and Su Mo's re-burned map, the five people, who were in a hurry, found the final hiding place of the 'treasure' in less than a day - an area surrounded by mountains and rivers. A huge cave made of lava.

"correct!"

"The treasure left by Hill's ancestors is here!"

When he got around the lava cave, Nelson's senses grew stronger.Looking at the bottomless lava cave in front of him, his face was flushed with excitement, and he wished he could rush in immediately.

"Your Highness, be safe and don't be impatient! This cave has not been opened for a thousand years, so there is no guarantee that there will be any danger." Busa was also very excited, but still calmly persuaded.

"This is a treasure specially reserved for the Wilfa family. How could it be in danger? Could it be possible that Hill's ancestors even cheated their descendants?"

He shouted dissatisfaction, but Nelson stopped.Although I firmly believe that Hill will not harm his descendants, there is nothing wrong with being careful.However, his face was full of anxiety.

The burden of revitalizing the Kingdom of Wilfa rested on Nelson alone. He had tried his best for more than ten years. Now that he finally saw a glimmer of light, he was inevitably a little impatient.Everyone understood Nelson's mood and didn't care too much about it.

After appeasing the impatient Prince for the time being, Busa summoned an undead puppet and controlled it to step into the lava cave first.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Busa opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief, "As the prince expected, there is no danger inside! However, the terrain of this cave is quite complicated. I will put a few more puppets to explore the way, and you will follow closely." .”

After all, Busa stepped into the lava cave without further delay.Shi Xingze and Zhan Qingqing guarded Nelson in the middle and followed closely behind Busa, while Bian Long was in charge of the rear.

As Busa said, the lava cave seems harmless, but it is actually a huge maze, and if you don't pay attention, you will get lost in it, and you don't know how you will die in the end.

"Over there, over there!"

After entering the lava cave, Nelson felt more strongly about the 'treasure'. With his guidance, it is difficult for everyone to get lost.

"what?"

"There is actually a next floor!"

After walking around for nearly two hours, under the guidance of Nelson, everyone came to the entrance to the next floor.

Busa just wanted to take the lead in, but Zhan Qingqing stopped him, and said with a frown, "This layer of lava cave has been formed for at least 500 years, and this is the real entrance."

"Year 500?"

Busa frowned, "Are you sure?"

If the lava hole is only 500 years old, there are only two possible coincidences or deliberation.

The lava cave is like a natural barrier to the real entrance.Not only does it block outside adventurers, even the beasts that have lived in the wild swamp for a long time, even if they stray into the lava cave, it is difficult to enter the real cave.

If it was formed naturally, it would be too much of a coincidence, not to mention that the players don't even believe in Busa.

"Why do you care so much? Maybe you misread it, the treasure is important!"

The treasure was clearly in sight, but everyone stood at the door and could not enter, which made Nelson very anxious.

Although Nelson was not choosing what to say, there was nothing wrong with what he said.It has come to this juncture, even if you know something is wrong, there is absolutely no reason to retreat.

While hesitating, Zhan Qingqing suddenly said, "The captain and the others have found the lava cave, why don't we go in together after we meet up!"

"Su Mo is back? Haha, great!"

Seeing Nelson's excited look, Zhan Qingqing not only showed a wry smile - it seems that not only Chi Yan, but even this 'nc' was fooled by Su Mo.

No wonder Nelson trusted Su Mo and Ghost Face. After all, without Su Mo's stimulation, he would never have risked his life to enter the wild swamp.And after entering the Wild Swamp, without Su Mo and Ghost Face, Nelson would have died countless times.

When we first met, Nelson was indeed extremely wary and prejudiced against Su Mo.But as time went by, not only did he trust Su Mo at this time, he even felt that as long as Su Mo was around, there would be no problem that could not be solved.

After waiting for another two hours, Su Mo, Jing Pengtao, Tao Pei and Arthur finally arrived.

Surprisingly, the ghost face was not there.

According to Su Mo's explanation, Ghost Mian was left outside by him to keep watch, but Chi Yan and the others knew that Ghost Mian's task was definitely not that simple.

Although Zhan Qingqing had greeted Busa in advance, Busa still frowned after seeing that Su Mo had almost the same appearance as that 'false prince'.

However, it was Su Mo himself who was more shocked than Busa;

The moment Su Mo saw Bu Sa's old face clearly, Su Mo finally understood why Chu Han, who was a 'not stingy', cooperated so much in pretending to be a prince in the first place.

Su Mo once said that Pastor Busa was an unstable factor, and asked Chu Han to find a chance to get rid of him.But Chu Han never made a move, and Su Mo thought he hadn't found a suitable opportunity.At this moment, after seeing Busa's appearance clearly, Su Mo realized very clearly that neither he nor Chu Han could get rid of this killer.

Bu Sa is so similar to Uncle Li who raised him!

Su Mo's expression management is still good. After suppressing the agitation, he immediately said, "It's not too late, let's go! Head Jing and Xing Ze lead the way ahead, and Bian Long and Arthur stay behind."

Su Mo grasped the right to speak as soon as he came. Except for Busa who was a little surprised, the rest had no objections. Even Nelson, the real prince, took it for granted.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Busa always felt that Su Mo looked at him differently.Just like the fake prince before, he realized early on that his purpose was not pure, and still chose to cooperate with him...

Zhan Qingqing has studied geology and has a lot of attainments.After entering the lower cave, she observed the stone wall for a long time, and finally said with certainty, "Although the weathering is very serious, the cave can still see traces of artificial excavation. The time is... about 1000 years."

The year 1000 happened to be the time when Hill existed. It seems that this cave was specially built by him to leave a 'treasure'.

Continue to go deeper, the more you go down, the more spacious you are.However, after advancing for about a few hundred meters, even Zhan Qingqing couldn't tell when the cave was formed by the degree of weathering of the stone wall.

After observing for a long time, Zhan Qingqing said helplessly, "I can't see it, there are heavy traces of magic here."

Su Mo nodded, motioning for Jing Pengtao and Shi Xingze to go deeper.

The journey was safe and sound. After half an hour, the road ahead was no longer a steep downhill road, but a neat plane. Everyone stepped into a wide and lengthy underground corridor.

"what?"

Jing Pengtao, who was leading the way, said in surprise, "Look, there seem to be murals carved on the stone walls on both sides!"

Lighting a torch again, Su Mo looked at the stone wall and saw huge carvings and paintings.

"The Way of the Brave."

The cold words came from Pastor Busa, and Su Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Busa knows the 'Path of the Brave' very well!"

"Hmph, Mr. Hill is the legend of the Wilfa family, and also the legend of the Tianfa Continent. The road of the brave he walked, not to mention the Wilfa family, is known to everyone in the Tianfa Continent... Could it be that you don't know?"

Zhan Qingqing looked at Su Mo nervously, but Su Mo said calmly, "The more widely circulated deeds, the more fictional and exaggerated they are. For example, this giant dragon..."

Su Mo illuminates the first mural. Although the mural is somewhat abstract, the general story is still very clear. The warrior slays the dragon.

"Not to mention that there are no giant dragons in the Tianfa Continent. Even if there are, how can a mere mortal be able to slaughter them?"

"Lonely."

Busa took the torch from Zhan Qingqing and illuminated the second mural, "Master Hill's 'Road of the Brave' is widely circulated, and there are indeed many fictional elements in it. But the battle of the dragon slaying is real. existing!"

Not only Su Mo, but even the two 'natives' Arthur and Nelson showed expressions of disbelief.

Seeing this, Busa explained, "The dragon clan did exist in the Tianfa Continent, but they disappeared for nearly ten thousand years before the battle of the gods."

After the Battle of the Gods, all the main gods in the Tianfa Continent left one after another, and the mainland gradually reduced from a world of middle demons to a world of low demons.Therefore, there are very few records on the mainland before the Battle of the Gods.The disappearance of the dragon family was 1 years earlier than the battle of the gods, and it is reasonable to say that there is no record in the mainland.

"A real giant dragon existed in the Tianfa Continent! Of course, the thing Lord Hill killed a thousand years ago was indeed not a real giant dragon."

Busa pointed to the second mural and explained, "This is an evil dragon, an evil dragon with the blood of an ancient dragon."

The first mural is still somewhat exaggerated, but the second is much clearer.Although the evil dragon still has the shadow of a giant dragon, it is far from the real giant dragon in terms of size and imposing manner.

"Thousands of years ago, an evil dragon appeared in the north of the North Sea to cause harm to the world. At that time, the Wilfa Empire was still the Principality of Wilfa. Lord Hill led a group of warriors, and finally succeeded in slaying the dragon after a lot of hard work."

"After the death of the evil dragon, Lord Hill was supported by tens of thousands of people...Afterwards, the Lord perceived the legendary 'luck', and this opened the way of the real brave."

It is rumored that "Dragon Slaying" is the first battle of Hill's road to the brave. In fact, after slaying the dragon, the road to the brave has just begun.

After listening to Busa's explanation, Nelson and Arthur showed guilt expressions at the same time.

Seeing this, Busa sighed, and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself. You were only five years old before the kingdom fell, and you haven't reached the age to understand Wilfa's secrets."

Nelson nodded desolately. He was about to say something when Su Mo asked in front of him.

"What is the relationship between Queen Saiyan and Lord Hill?"

It turned out that while Bu Sa was explaining, Su Mo and Shi Xingze had already seen several murals in succession.Shi Xingze watched it with gusto, and even made gestures from time to time, but Su Mo noticed something strange in it.

From the beginning of the third painting, that is, the "Road of the Brave", every mural has the shadow of the snake man behind it.Although the snake man couldn't see her face clearly, Su Mo still guessed her identity - Queen Saiyan.

"This one……"

Busa's rare hesitation, "Maybe a partnership."

"Cooperation?"

Su Mo's eyes were full of doubts, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he continued to browse with a torch.

The legendary "Road of the Brave" Hill walked for ten years. During the ten years, he walked from the northernmost point of the mainland to the southernmost point of the mainland, and then from the easternmost point of the mainland to the westernmost point.

The wild swamp thousands of years ago was much more dangerous and terrifying than it is now, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of being the last stop on the road of the brave.

Hill Wilfa was not the first warrior to break through the wild swamp, but he was the most famous one.There is no other reason, other warriors just broke through the wild swamp, Hill Wilfa used unparalleled strength to crush them all the way!

In the wild swamp thousands of years ago, there were countless terrifying beasts and Jedi.Through the murals, Su Mo and the others saw many ferocious beasts that only existed in legends, and without exception, they were all beheaded by Hill's sword. After the end of the 'Path of the Brave', the Wilfa Principality became the most powerful Wilfa Empire on the mainland in just ten years.

Undoubtedly, the absolute protagonist of the dozens of murals before and after is Hill Wilfa.

However, after seeing all the murals, what Su Mo cares most about is not the main character, but the snake-man who has been following Hill, who seems to be unknown but cannot be ignored-Queen Saiyan.

more importantly……

Busa frowned, "Although the mural is Lord Hill's path of the brave, it is not the same as what was recorded in the royal court. It seems..."

"Sacrifice."

After pondering for a moment, Su Mo said decisively, "If you look closely, you can find that although the murals record the 'Road of the Brave' which is widely circulated by Master Hill, the perspective is not from him, but more like... well, Queen Saiyan ?”

Before entering the wild swamp, the reason Su Mo tricked Nelson into changing his path was that the Saiyan Queen had no reason to marry her daughter to him, a down and out prince, and it was even more impossible to send Saiyan warriors to help him revive the power without the slightest benefit. Kingdom of Alpha.

But at this moment Su Mo felt that he was wrong;

At least from the murals, it can be seen that the relationship between Queen Saiyan and Sil Wilfa is extraordinary, even if it is not a relationship between lovers, it must be extraordinary.

In this way, many problems can be explained...

In fact, Su Mo had always wondered how the Wilfa family managed to survive for a thousand years in this war-torn continent?

It is strange that the Kingdom of Wilfa was destroyed by a small principality, but it is even more strange that it can stand for thousands of years and be passed down from generation to generation.

You know, for thousands of years, except for the Kingdom of Wilfa, the longest surviving country on the mainland is the most powerful Oreros Empire today.But even the Ole Rose Empire is only 200 years old, and there was a war that broke out for more than ten years.

It is full of strangeness that the Kingdom of Wilfa can exist from thousands of years ago to the present, and there is no break in the middle.

Therefore, after seeing the mural, Su Mo is basically sure that Queen Saiyan must be behind it!

What is the relationship between Queen Saiyan and Sil Wilfa?

Before that, he always thought that the treasure was related to Hill's achievement of a demigod, and only this could impress Queen Saiyan and exchange military power with her.

But after seeing the mural, Su Mo had to overthrow everything and rearrange his thoughts.

If the murals were really carved by Queen Saiyan, then the so-called 'Treasure of Hill' will probably have a big question mark...
