[Frederick the Avenger] (Ancient Immortal Rank Boss)
Level: 290
Introduction: The leader of the Dark Tribe in Valley of Vengeance. His mastery of fire-type swordsmanship is incredible. He is a loner who carries the fate of his entire race on his shoulders.
… …
I was surprised to see the middle-aged Dark Tribe member in front of me. So this guy was a patriarch, but he admitted defeat after being knocked back by me. He even offered up the prettiest woman of his race. What the hell was this?
Warsky shouted, "Lu Chen, don't fall for her honey trap! Save me first, I don't have enough HP left …"
"Bang!"
Lin Yixin walked up to Warsky and kicked him in the waist. The kick sent him flying and away from the bonfire, or he would've died in less than a minute.
"What do you think, young adventurer? Are you willing to accept my respect?" Frederick asked with a smile.
I saw a scheme in his smile, so I shook my head cautiously. "Never mind, the beauties of the Dark Tribe should be enjoyed by the Dark Tribe. I'm an outsider, I … I just want to enjoy the beauties of Sky City …"
I grabbed Lin Yixin's hand, but the little beauty immediately blushed and slapped my hand away. "Who wants you to enjoy them …"
Frederick said respectfully, "Anyway, you should take a look at our beauties first. I'm sure they won't disappoint you!"
I thought for a moment. It looked like I had no choice but to meet them.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Heavy footsteps came from inside the cave, and soon, a four-meter-tall, dark-skinned woman walked out of the cave. Her face was very strange, and she only had one eye in the center of her face. Her nose was at least 10 centimeters long, and her arms were as thick as tree trunks. Her upper body was bare, and her chest was full of muscles. The black hair under her armpits gave off an unpleasant smell that suggested she hadn't bathed in years. She wore a short skirt made of animal hide, and when she opened her mouth, I could see vegetable leaves all over her teeth. She looked at me lecherously and said, "Hi, my dear human warrior, you defeated our leader Frederick, so you are now my man. Come, I look forward to the sunset. When the sun sets, I will hug you to sleep!"
"Pa Pa Pa …"
I took a few steps back and smashed into a dark race member's shield. My face was pale as I gripped Coldness of the Nine States tightly. I shouted, "A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated. Fritz, you people should enjoy such a beauty yourselves. I don't have the fortune to enjoy it. Let me go and I will thank you for the rest of my life!"
…
"Hey!"
A strange smile appeared on Frederick's face, "Honorable human hero, are you not going to accept my goodwill?
Since that's the case, you can only take another path … "
"What other way?"
"Complete a mission for me. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of this Bloody Shield Domain alive. Aside from Coldblade's army, you won't be able to escape from the eyes of the dark race …"
Beiming Xue raised the Profound Nether Bow and laughed softly. "Big brother, the quest you wanted is here!"
I nodded, "Alright, Frederick, tell me. Other than this beauty of your tribe, I'm willing to do anything, even if I have to die ten thousand times!"
"Great!"
Frederick clenched his fists and laughed. "That's good, but this quest is extremely dangerous. You could lose your life at any moment."
"Just tell me!"
"Alright!"
Frederick abruptly punched a nearby rock, anger and sorrow on his face as he said, "A few decades ago, the Bloody Shield Domain was originally the territory of the dark race. But ever since that devil, Endless Storm, appeared from the purgatory, this place has become a land of slaughter and death. He slaughtered our people and enslaved them to build his dark castle. What's even more hateful is that seven years ago, one of Coldblade's minions, the Bloodthirsty Envoy, actually kidnapped my daughter, Serena. Damn it, it's been seven years and I haven't heard from her at all. I don't even know where she is. I've tried to enter Bloodthirsty Castle several times to rescue her, but I've failed every time …"
I was slightly surprised. "Coldblade's minions, the Bloodthirsty Envoy?"
"Yes!"
Frederick gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. He was originally a highly skilled human Stealth and the master of the Legend Thief Group. Unfortunately, he was lured by an endless amount of power and became Coldblade's lackey. At present, he's lying in ambush in the southeastern part of Bloodthirsty Castle. My Serena must be there. Young hero, if you can bring Serena back to me, I will reward you handsomely!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: Do you accept the main quest [Frederick's Request]?
I accepted without hesitation. Another system bell rang —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has accepted the quest [Frederick's Request]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: SSS)
Description: Head to Bloodthirsty Castle and successfully infiltrate it. Bring Frederick's daughter, Serena, back to him safely. You must also kill the dark assassin, the Bloodthirsty Envoy, and bring his head back to Frederick. You will receive an extremely generous reward, but please be careful. The Bloodthirsty Envoy is an assassin who hides in the dark. If you aren't strong enough, you should give up on this quest.
… …
I looked at the quest notification and smiled. "An SSS Rank quest. It may not be as difficult as the Dragon God Cave, but it's still worth the challenge. Let's go. The coordinates of Bloodthirsty Castle are marked on the map!"
"Mn!" He Yi nodded.
Not far away, Warsky stood up and dusted his butt. Soon, two rays of light appeared beside him, and Laughing At The Heavens and Lin Bing Dou Zhe resurrected at the same time. So these two guys had been eaten by the dark races. Their deaths were truly ugly...
"Where's Farewell Song?" I asked.
Warsky shook his head. "He's not with us. You guys received the quest and left immediately, right?"
I nodded. "That's right. We'll head to Bloodthirsty Castle immediately. Warsky, you'd better give up on the idea of having Farewell Song hunt us down. Last time, Farewell Song took advantage of every opportunity to steal the Golden City's City Lord's Token, and I haven't settled that score yet. If Farewell Song dares to interfere with our mission, I'll make sure Warsky Alliance suffers the consequences. I can't destroy Golden City, but I can destroy Warsky City!
The corner of Warsky's mouth twitched. "Hmph, Farewell Song isn't that free to interfere with other people's quests. We have our own quests to complete. Also, I have 30k + Golden Cavalrymen with me right now, Lu Chen. If you want to attack Warsky City, then come at me. I want to test my Golden Cavalry's strength against a powerful opponent!"
"Very good. We'll talk about it after the quest is over!"
"Got it!"
… …
I hopped onto the dragon's back and carried Beiming Xue and Moon Dew on my back. Then, the three dragons took to the air and left the valley. The Dark Race's territory was just too shameless. They used ropes to tie up players so that they couldn't fight. The good news was that there wasn't any danger to their lives. Warsky, Laughing At The Heavens, and the others were just too unlucky.
"Was that a declaration of war?" He Yi asked with a smile.
I replied, "More or less. Just like Warsky said, a fight is inevitable between us. It's just that the chips haven't appeared yet. Hmph hmph, I have no interest in Warsky City. If it's a Rank 11 castle, I'll consider taking it over for Bloody Mercenaries or Umbrella's encampment."
Murong Mingyue asked, "Oh right, where are your foreign brothers and sisters?"
"They're in the Outlands … Kiss Scar said that the Outlands are more free and won't be attacked by China players. Moreover, there are guilds like Dark Mercenaries in the Outlands, so the tens of thousands of Howling Wind Cavalry of Umbrella won't be lonely at all!"
"..."
Beiming Xue pointed downward. "We're almost there. There are Death Crows up ahead, so we can't fly over them. Let's fight our way over the ground. Bloodthirsty Castle is in the graveyard in front of us."
"Mn!"
The Ancient Divine Dragon landed on the ground and transformed into Divine Dragon Armor. Layers of light covered my armor as I walked at the front with Coldness of the Nine States. He Yi put down Murong Mingyue and continued to ride the Snow Crystal Dragon. Lin Yixin floated to the ground and raised a hand. The Red Crystal Dragon turned into a crimson dragon tattoo and appeared on her arm. As a Light Wanderer, Lin Yixin had the ability to hide her mount. It was very similar to my Divine Dragon Armor Transformation.
Thud thud...
My war boots stepped lightly on the dewy grass. I could smell the stench of blood in the air. It looked like the undead creatures were very close.
Beiming Xue rode behind me on the Dragonlight Armored Horse and held her bow. She frowned and said, "Big bro, I still don't understand …"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Beiming, is there anything else you don't understand?"
"During the battle at Golden City, why was Farewell Song able to avoid my Divine Insight almost 100% of the time? I know that the higher an assassin's Agility, the better they are at concealing themselves, but that doesn't mean that they can avoid my Divine Insight 100% of the time. The higher the Agility, the better the perception. My Agility might not necessarily be lower than Farewell Song's. If we could see through Farewell Song's stealth at the time, we wouldn't have lost the City Lord's Token …"
I pursed my lips and said, "Actually, I'm confused as well. You weren't the only one who couldn't see through Farewell Song's stealth. My Dark Pupils, on the other hand, were able to see through Moonkiss's stealth. Strange …"
Lin Yixin gave me a dimpled smile. "If that's the case, then it can only mean one thing."
"What is it?" Beiming Xue and I asked in unison.
Lin Yixin pursed her lips and smiled. "Farewell Song recently obtained a new skill, or item, that can nullify detection skills 100% of the time."
I thought for a moment before nodding heavily. "Yiyi is right. Farewell Song was able to block our Dark Pupils and Bright Sight, but he wasn't able to dodge Moonkiss's skill. The only way to deal with a Farewell Song like this is to observe the surroundings and predict his position. As long as we can predict the right spot and attack him, we'll be able to break his stealth all the same. At the time, we all made a mistake and thought that Bright Sight would be enough, but Farewell Song managed to take advantage of it."
Beiming Xue blinked her eyes. "The problem is, we need to figure out what Farewell Song's item or skill is …"
"Actually, I want to know as well."
