Wu Que Nanfei took out a silver-white shield badge, and the guard knight's face changed drastically. He then knelt on one knee and said with self-blame, "I'm sorry, respected adventurer sir. I didn't know you had the Lord's Badge bestowed by the Lord. I apologize for my earlier offense."
"If the adventurer sir wishes to see Sir Dekai the Knight, you need to go to the room behind the Lord's Mansion Hall. Sir Dekai received an order from the Lord a few days ago to guard there. As for what the order was, I don't know."
"I hope the adventurer sir can forgive my earlier offense!"
Suddenly, the tone shifted, and Wu Que Nanfei was stunned. What was going on? Why was the change of face faster than flipping a book? Why was he so respectful as soon as he took out the badge?
"I guess the function of this Lord's Badge is not just for Holy Light Knights to protect. Perhaps players holding the badge are set to be like the Lord, which is why this knight is like this. Am I correct?"
Chen Tian came to Wu Que Nanfei's side, shaking the badge in his hand. The guard knight nodded slightly and then said, "Those who hold the Lord's Badge, if they see the Lord, this is the rule set by the Lord a few days ago. I have offended you greatly just now, and I am truly sorry!"
"Alright, it's nothing. Go guard the Lord's Mansion! Wu Que Nan, hold the badge tight, and let's go see Sir Dekai the Knight. Perhaps the quest is on him."
Chen Tian then casually threw the badge into Wu Que Nanfei's hand, and then he and Shuzi headed towards the place they were just told about.
Wu Que Nan had not yet recovered when the two had already left the Lord's Mansion and headed for the houses behind it.
As he stepped out, he followed closely behind. The Lord's Mansion was indeed very large. Even from the Lord's Mansion Hall, there were many rooms behind the hall.
Chen Tian looked around at the houses. All the houses were open, and they were empty inside. He then said, "Shuzi, Wu Que Nan, find a house with a closed door. Since it's a guard post, the house must be closed."
"Okay!"
The two responded in unison. Because there were so many houses, these houses were all residences for guards. The total number of guard knights in the entire Lord's Mansion was several hundred, and the houses were scattered. The three searched for a long time before Shuzi's voice finally came.
"Here, here, this door is closed, and I can feel a powerful aura here. It must be here."
Following Shuzi's shout, Chen Tian and Wu Que Nanfei came towards Shuzi from different directions.
In front of Shuzi was a small house, slightly smaller than the houses of other guard knights. However, the silver-white main door was slowly closed, and terrifying black airflow continuously flowed out from the cracks. The house itself emanated a faint silver glow, and under this glow, the black airflow could not break through the door.
Chen Tian arrived at the house immediately and then said, "Holy Light Knight skill, Holy Light Seal. It seems Dekai the Knight is inside."
"But why is there a Holy Light Seal? Isn't this a sealing technique? What exactly happened inside?"
Chen Tian fell into thought. Shuzi, seeing Chen Tian arrive, also came to his side. After a while, Wu Que Nanfei also arrived at the door of the house.
"Why aren't you going in!"
Wu Que Nan said with confusion. The door was right in front of them, so why not go in and trigger the quest!
"We want to, but the problem is that the Holy Light Seal has sealed the entire house. The door cannot be opened unless the sealing technique is forcefully broken."
Shuzi said helplessly. The Holy Light Seal of a Holy Light Knight was the most powerful sealing technique. To enter the seal, one needed the caster's permission, or to forcibly break the seal.
"Don't mess around. Even if the three of us use all our strength, we can't break it. This is a level 100 ultimate skill, and we are only level thirty-something. The gap is too big."
Wu Que Nanfei said with a dejected expression. Yes! Their levels were too low to break it.
Chen Tian remained silent, lost in thought. He replayed the clues and scenes he had gathered before. Suddenly, Chen Tian figured it out.
Then, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said, "Invited by the Lord, we are here to help the Lord. We hope the Knight will permit us!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Instantly, the entire house erupted with white light. The three felt an extremely dazzling light, and at the same time, their vision was obscured by the light. When their vision returned to normal, the three looked at each other. Shuzi and Wu Que Nanfei looked at Chen Tian in astonishment.
No way! They got in so easily. What was the point of the Holy Light Seal outside? Was it just for show?
On the ninety-ninth floor, everyone looked at each other, and then a voice sounded, "Fine, this quest is probably going to change."
"Agreed!"
"Same here!"
"Where are the clues we arranged? They went in without taking a single clue, without saying a word. I'm speechless, his reasoning and deduction skills are so strong!"
"Don't mention it. They even went in without taking that item. I feel like the plot we designed is useless in front of him."
"Uh!! I'm just curious why it turned out this way?"
"There's no other reason. His chip is special, so it affected other quests. However, the chance of this happening is very small, but he still encountered it."
"I'm used to it. This guy is a reincarnation of an emperor. He triggers quests and gets rewards so easily. I'm so envious. I have max luck value but not this kind of luck. Envy!"
...
On the ninety-ninth floor, everyone quieted down and then looked at Chen Tian's image on the screen. Inside the house, Chen Tian slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips. As expected, it was as he had thought. He had gotten in, and then he said, "Prepare for battle!"
"Huh?"
Shuzi and Wu Que Nanfei also became cautious. They looked around the empty room. There was clearly nothing there.
"Chen Tian, there's clearly nothing here!"
Shuzi took out his long sword and looked around. Chen Tian said calmly, "If my guess is correct, three, two, one!"
"Roar roar roar!"
As Chen Tian's voice fell, a figure let out a huge roar, and the three were instantly repelled.
The three looked at the figure in front of them. It was a knight, but the knight's armor was entirely black, covered in countless black blood, as if it were a living creature.
The knight's entire head was covered in black hair, filling the entire head. Two black wrist blades appeared on the armor of its arms, and a giant greatsword was strapped to its back. However, black blood also flowed from this greatsword.
A pair of dark eyes stared intently at the three of them, emitting beastly roars.
"What is this guy! I've never seen such a creature. It's not in the data!"
Wu Que Nanfei looked at the knight monster in front of him with a nervous expression. It wasn't in the data! What race was this?
"Be careful. He should be Dekai the Holy Light Knight, but it looks like his body has been possessed by something, which is why he became like this. Attack him with all your might!"
Chen Tian said coldly. Instantly, two fireballs were thrown out. The terrifying flames seemed to burn the heavens and earth, making the room hot.
As the temperature rose, black energy hissed from the knight monster and floated into the air.
The terrifying knight monster looked at the two fireballs in front of it and spread its wrist blades. Instantly, an X-shaped blade glow appeared, and the two fireballs were instantly cut into four pieces, flying in all directions and exploding.
"Attack! Shuzi provides support, Wu Que Nan harasses, and I'll handle the opponent's offense."
Chen Tian said, his expression becoming serious. The reason was simple: the knight monster in front of them was level ninety-five, and the three of them needed to divide their tasks clearly to resist.
Shuzi and Wu Que Nanfei could not see the information of the monster in front of them, but Chen Tian could. He was a Cold Observer, with more authority than the other three modes, which was his capital for going solo.
The data showed that the opponent's name was Dekai, which was why Chen Tian had acted without hesitation.
The opponent's status showed that he was possessed. Even if Dekai were killed, it would be the parasitic liquid that disappeared, not Dekai himself, which was why Chen Tian had acted without hesitation.
Shuzi and Wu Que Nanfei nodded and replied, "Okay!"
Wu Que Nanfei laughed heartily, "Shuzi, it's been a while since we fought side-by-side!"
Shuzi also smiled slightly, "Me too. Old rule, let's see who gets the last hit!"
Although their time fighting side-by-side was short, their coordination was extremely默契 (mòqì - tacit understanding).
After all, they had been friends for three or four years and understood each other.
Then, Shuzi made the first move. His long sword gathered purple lightning, and with a single strike, a purple lightning sword energy blade shot out, like a crescent moon, rushing towards the knight monster.
The knight monster, seeing this, extended its wrist blades. Just as it was about to swing them left and right, two silver-white lances suddenly appeared on the blade of the wrist blades. It was Wu Que Nanfei.
Wu Que Nan used all his strength. With a "ding" sound, the spearhead collided with the blade. He then used the momentum to disrupt the opponent's posture.
As the purple lightning sword blade was about to approach the knight monster, Wu Que Nan's figure flickered, and he instantly retreated.
"Boom!"
The massive lightning sword energy hit the armor. Wu Que Nan and Shuzi looked at each other.
They understood each other's feelings, and their coordination required no communication.
The dust from the explosion scattered, and the knight monster appeared unharmed in front of Wu Que Nanfei and Shuzi.
"It's impossible not to damage your armor with one hit! Continue, Wu Que Nan!"
"Okay!"
The two attacked from both sides, while Chen Tian was behind them, gathering countless fireballs. Chen Tian was actually charging fireballs.
Although the fireball spell had low damage, its usability was very high. The cooldown was 0.3s. The damage was low, but what if there were hundreds or thousands of them?
Above Chen Tian's head, hundreds of fireballs had already gathered, ready to be unleashed, and Chen Tian was still charging fireballs.
