"These are not NPCs!
They are all real players! "Liunian Ling looked around at the players in Yuzhang City and frowned.
"Their expressions are very normal. There is nothing unusual about them. They don't look like souls trapped in a dungeon!
How could this be? "
"There's no need to guess blindly!
We'll know once we ask! "
Guhan brought Lu Xihua and Liunian Ling to a teahouse and found many players drinking tea in the teahouse. Guhan picked a player who was dressed shabbily and served the worst tea. The player had the name "Ouyang Jiushi" above his head. He threw a 10,000 yuan bill on the table and said, "Brother, I want to ask you a few things!"
"No problem!
No problem! "
The player immediately put the 10,000 yuan into his wallet carefully. He then smiled at Guhan and said, "I don't know what you want to ask, sir. As long as it's something I know, I will tell you everything I know!"
"You don't know me?"
At that moment, the name "Military Governor" above Guhan's head was particularly eye-catching. Moreover, this "Ouyang Jiushi" had met the Military Governor a few times. It was unexpected that this player did not know Guhan at all.
"Hehe!
You must be a famous big shot. How could a lowly junior like me know you, sir? "Ouyang Jiushi said with a charming smile.
"Oh!"
Guhan responded with an "oh". It seemed that the player could not see the two big words "Military Governor" above his head. This was very strange. Why could he see it but these players could not?
"The weather is so good today. Aren't you going to fight a dungeon?" Guhan squinted his eyes and asked.
"Dungeon? What dungeon?" Ouyang Jiushi's face showed an inexplicable expression. "What is a dungeon?
Is it something in an online game?
I'm sorry, sir. I don't play online games! "
"Haven't you played Sword Maiden Online?"
"Sword Maiden Online?
I've never heard of it before. Is it a new game?
I'm sorry, I really don't know much about games. Moreover, look at me. I don't have the money to play games! "Ouyang Jiushi said with a bitter smile.
"What year is it now?" Guhan's eyebrows furrowed even more.
"That's easy!
Of course it's January 12th, 3012!
But why are you asking this, sir?
Can't you just look at your personal terminal? "Ouyang Jiushi's expression became even more puzzled.
"What about Sword Maiden?
Do you know about Sword Maiden? "
"Sword Maiden?
Is it the mobile game that kids play, firing cannons and shouting 'I'm the commander'? "
Ouyang Ji pursed his lips. "Oh, right, you can't be talking about Sword Immortals, right … I know everything about Sword Immortals …"
"…" Gu Han was speechless.
After some communication, Guhan finally had some understanding of this dungeon world.
This was a world that was completely different from the normal world and the game world. The memories of the players here seemed to have been tampered with. The players in this world had forgotten about Sword Maidens and sword bearers. They didn't know about Sword Maiden Online. Even Yuan Kou didn't know about it.
This was a completely xianxia world!
According to Ouyang Jiushi, this dungeon world was divided into two worlds, the human world and the immortal world. The human world had its own government, but the human world's government was controlled by the immortal world's Heavenly Court.
All the senior officials, including the president, were under the command of the Heavenly Court. The human world had no control.
There were immortals in the immortal world, and they often came to the lower realm to play. If they were in a good mood, they would take in one or two mortals as their disciples or take some beauties as their immortal slaves.
But if the immortals were in a bad mood, they would wantonly kill in the mortal world.
Of course, the immortal world strictly forbade this kind of killing. Hence, there were Sword Maidens patrolling the human world. If they found any immortals who dared to kill, they would immediately capture them …
Besides the immortals, there were also the Demon Clan in this world that wantonly killed humans. These Sword Maidens also had the responsibility of protecting humans from the Demon Clan.
All in all, the Heavenly Court in this world had become a good person who was responsible for the safety of the entire world. It was no longer Yuan Kou, who was hated by humans in the real world.
…
"What do we do now?" Liunian Ling asked Guhan after coming out of the teahouse and receiving the information.
"What else can we do?
Of course, we'll follow the quest instructions and complete the first requirement of this Emperor Sword Quest! "Guhan said calmly.
"But this world has become like this. How would we know where the Peach Garden is? And will the King Arthur's Betrayal Instance Dungeon still be at the original Xianyang City Airport?" Liunian Ling asked worriedly.
"Of course it's there!" Guhan said with absolute certainty.
"How can you be so sure?" Liunian Ling did not understand.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten that we obtained an Emperor Sword Level Dungeon strategy from Yin Yang Gate!" Gu Han said calmly.
"I remember now!"
Liunian Ling looked as if she had suddenly realized something. However, she immediately became terrified. "Could it be that the strategy for this Emperor Sword Instance Dungeon was recorded in the small booklet that was left over a thousand years ago?"
"That's right!" Guhan nodded.
"In fact, the small booklet briefly mentioned the background story of the Instance Dungeon. The background of this Instance Dungeon is a world that is completely controlled by the Heavenly Court. The final goal of the Instance Dungeon is to kill the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court and release all humans. This is the quest to reveal the truth of the entire world!"
"Compare it carefully. Isn't the world described in the small booklet the world in this Instance Dungeon?" Guhan said faintly.
"But isn't that the small booklet that was left there at the beginning of the Apocalypse?
It's been over a thousand years. How did the owner of the small booklet know about the strategy for this Instance Dungeon?
Moreover, Gu Xuanwu … Elder Gu Xuanwu doesn't even know about the situation of this Instance Dungeon. This small booklet couldn't have been left there by Elder Gu Xuanwu! "The more Liunian Ling thought about it, the more terrified she became. Who could have left this small booklet there?
"Maybe it was written by you!"
Guhan looked at Liunian Ling meaningfully. "If we can successfully pass through this Instance Dungeon, you will definitely understand this Instance Dungeon very well. It's only natural that you would write this small booklet in the future."
"Even if I wrote this small booklet in the future … How did I send it to 1,000 years ago …" As Liunian Ling said this, she suddenly paused. "You mean, at some point in the future, I will also travel to the era of 1,000 years ago?"
"It might not be you!"
Guhan nodded and then shook his head. "Anyone who has experienced this Instance Dungeon, such as me, Lu Xihua, and the tens of thousands of Player souls in this Instance Dungeon.
However, all of these Players have lost their minds and memories. Even if they are rescued in the future, they won't be able to clearly understand the strategy I used to complete the Quest. I'm afraid the only ones who can participate in the entire Quest Dungeon are the three of us! "
"So, among the three of us, one or two or even all three of us might travel to the past. The one with the highest possibility is me!" Guhan said.
"Why?
Why do you think you have the highest possibility? "Liunian Ling asked, puzzled.
"Because I have some unfinished ties in the past!"
Guhan let out a long sigh. He thought of Yi Qing. He would most likely have to travel to the past to complete this unfinished relationship with Yi Qing!
Hearing Guhan's words, Liunian Ling suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "What kind of ties?"
"I can't tell you!" Guhan shook his head and answered firmly.
"Sigh … Didn't you say you like me?
Is there anything that we can't talk about? "Fleeting Time Lin was displeased by Ye Ci's words.
"Okay!
If you agree to marry me now, I'll tell you everything! "Gu Han's reaction was swift, and she immediately countered Fleeting Time's words.
Of course, Liunian Ling would not agree to marry Guhan. The two of them instantly fell into silence, leaving Lu Xihua awkwardly walking behind the two of them. Lu Xihua felt like he was unnecessary.
…
"You can't go out!"
When Guhan and the other two arrived at the gate of Yuzhang City and were about to leave the city, they were stopped by a few guards at the gate.
Because these guards carried all kinds of Swordmaidens on their backs, Guhan was sure that these guards were actually sword bearers.
However, these sword bearers were different from normal sword bearers. They did not put their Swordmaidens in their scabbards, but instead carried them on their backs. At the same time, all the Swordmaidens were in the form of Swordmaidens. None of the sword bearers were released.
"Why don't you let us go out?" Seeing that she was stopped, Liunian Ling asked angrily.
"Why?
Don't you know how dangerous it is outside?
There are Magical Beasts running amok everywhere. Ordinary humans like you are not even enough to feed the Magical Beasts. Just stay in the city obediently. There will be delicious food and drinks. Why do you have to go out and die? "The guard at the gate said disdainfully.
"What?
What happened?
Who is making a ruckus here! "
At this time, Guhan suddenly heard a very familiar voice. Then, a slightly wretched looking man walked to Guhan's side.
"Greetings, Captain!"
Seeing this man appear, the guards at the gate immediately said respectfully, "There are three ungrateful people who want to leave the city, but we stopped them!"
"Is that so?" The captain looked at Guhan disdainfully, "You want to leave the city with such cowardly looks?
Hurry up and go home to drink some milk!
Hahaha! "
After saying that, the captain began to laugh wildly.
"I say, Toad, you are getting bolder and bolder. You actually dare to mock me!" Guhan sneered, then punched the captain's nose.
