The ice stone tower is made of black boulders. It is cylindrical in shape and has a diameter of about 10 meters at the bottom. It looks like a round castle from a distance and is particularly eye-catching in the world of ice and snow.
With a "crunch", the heavy oak board door was pushed open, and a beam of light shot into the tower, bringing a ray of light to the dark space; the whistling of the wind and snow also took advantage of the gap, breaking the tranquility in the tower.
Walking into the tower, the boots of suffering stepped on the solid stone slabs, making crisp footsteps. Just after taking a few steps, the door behind him slammed shut, the wind and snow were blocked out, and the tower returned to peace.
Lu Yun turned around and took a look. There was nothing unusual in the dark field of vision.
"Damn, it's like being in a ghost movie." He complained. When he turned around again, he saw a pair of green eyes standing in front of him, staring straight at him. If he looked carefully, he saw that they were not eyes.
It was a trace of soul fire burning in the skull. What stood in front of him was a skeleton!
Suddenly encountering such a thing, a gust of cold air rushed up from his vest. Lu Yun did not hesitate at all. He pulled out the blood-drinking sword with a clang. The white light flashed and the sword light struck the skeleton in front of him. After four rounds,
, the skeleton took two steps back and scattered into a pile of broken bones.
"Who are you?" Just as Lu Yun was soothing his mind, an old and dry voice sounded from behind him. He turned around, but saw no one. "Why do you want to kill my talisman soul?"
The voice sounded behind him again.
Fuhun is the assistant summoned by the Taoist priest. From the words of the man, it can be heard that he should be the owner here - the old Taoist priest Gu Wen. Lu Yun quickly replied: "I was entrusted by someone to come to see the old gentleman. I was rash before.
, I accidentally killed your talisman soul, I'm really sorry."
With a "hoo" sound, the tower lit up. Looking up, a lamp burning many candles hung in the air. The shape was very similar to the large lamps in the European magic world.
Looking straight ahead, there is a bookcase standing next to the stone wall, with many books displayed inside. Next to the bookcase, an old man in gray robe is sitting, watching him quietly.
"This tower originally belonged to the Ice and Snow Clan." Perhaps seeing Lu Yun's surprise, Old Gu Wen explained this.
Lu Yun coughed lightly, walked up to Gu Wen, glanced over him, and took a look at him. This old man looked to be in his seventies, with white hair and beard, and his old face was covered with years.
The robe on his body was very old and a little white. However, the mark of a silver moon on his chest was very clear.
While Lu Yun was looking at Lao Dao, Lao Dao also looked at him carefully, and then said in an old voice: "I have been living in seclusion for hundreds of years, why do you still come to disturb my purity?"
After organizing some words in his mind, Lu Yun answered: "Old sir, I have been entrusted by someone to ask you to prepare the antidote for the Ice Soul Xuanyin Gu. I also ask for your help."
"Ice Soul Xuanyin Gu?" The old Taoist's old face trembled slightly, "Who was poisoned by this kind of poison?"
Lu Yun replied: "He is a general from Beifeng Fortress. In order to destroy the ice and snow banshee in the ice forest, he was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. He asked the old gentleman to save him!"
"It's the North Wind Guards again!" The gray robe on Lao Dao's body undulated greatly, "You guardsmen are all obsessed with the idea of taking the Snowy Ice Palace. Humph, I have warned them a long time ago,
It is impossible for mortals to obtain that kind of power. They just refused to listen, and they are really to blame for today's disaster!"
When the North Wind Guards were mentioned, the old man was very excited, which made Lu Yun feel very surprised. The old man seemed to know some truth about the changes in the Ice Palace, and he was an important clue! So he asked:
"Old sir, from what you said, it seems that you know the truth about the changes in the Ice Palace. Please tell me!"
The old Taoist snorted heavily: "Boy, in the name of preparing an antidote, you actually want to ask the old Taoist about the secret of the Ice Palace, don't you?"
Lu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "The old gentleman has misunderstood. I am not actually from the Beifeng Guards." He glanced at the Silver Moon mark on his chest and added, "Actually, I am under the command of Feng Qingyang, the Lord of Silver Moon City.
I am ordered to come and investigate the truth behind the changes in the Ice Palace."
"You said you are an envoy from Silver Moon City, why should I believe you?"
"Maybe you can take a look at this!" Lu Yun took out Feng Qingyang's token and handed it to Gu Wen. After seeing the token, a trace of surprise flashed in Gu Wen's eyes and he looked up at Lu Yun.
Slowly said: "Put it away. Huh, Silver Moon City, finally we haven't forgotten this land!"
After taking back the token, Lu Yun said again: "Old sir, please tell me, why did the Ice Palace suddenly change after being banned for thousands of years?"
"Since you are the envoy of Silver Moon City, I will tell you." Old Gu Wen breathed heavily and told Lu Yun some of the history of the Ice Palace. Most of what he told was similar to Feng Qingyang.
What they said was consistent. However, there was one thing that Feng Qingyang did not say.
At that time, the Ice and Snow Clan were defeated, and the Ice Palace Emperor signed an armistice treaty with humans, banning the Snowy Ice Palace and never invading the human world. However, humans can never set foot in the Snowy Ice Palace. Otherwise, the ban will be automatically lifted, and the Ice and Snow Clan will
Will wake up and take revenge on humans.
From this story, Lu Yun got an important piece of information: someone broke into the Snowy Ice Palace, causing the ban to be automatically lifted. The Ice and Snow clan believed that humans had broken the truce agreement, and in order to retaliate against humans, they attacked the North Wind Fortress.
"Who broke into the Snowy Ice Palace and caused this change?"
Gu Wen once again made a heavy cry: "About a month ago, a man came here to see me. He claimed to be from Beifeng Fortress. He asked me many secrets of the Ice Palace. At that time, I didn't know his ambitions and knew everything.
I told him eloquently. When I found out that he was coveting the power of ice and snow, it was too late."
"The power of ice and snow?" Lu Yun discovered something intriguing.
A hint of alarm appeared on Gu Wen's face: "Don't even think about asking for clues about the power of ice and snow." He shook his head and murmured: "The power of ice and snow is the power given to the ice and snow tribe by the gods. Mortals cannot withstand this.
Such divine power is self-destruction!"
The old Taoist refused to say anything, and Lu Yun was a little disappointed. From what he said before, it can be seen that this power of ice and snow must be a very awesome thing. "Perhaps, it is impossible for players to get such a thing." He comforted himself,
Then he asked: "Old sir, are you sure that man is from Beifeng Fortress and is a soldier of the Beifeng Guards?"
Gu Wen nodded: "The old Taoist has lived here for hundreds of years and knows everything here. That man is wearing the armor of the Beifeng Guards, and there is no way he can go wrong. Moreover, he has the highest authority in the Beifeng Guards
Very high status.”
Judging from the time when the change occurred in the Ice Palace, this senior general was the most suspect. Lu Yun continued to ask: "If we meet again, can the old gentleman still recognize this person?"
Gu Wen shook his head: "When he came, he had a mask on his face. I didn't know what he looked like. His voice was very strange and hoarse, not like a normal person's voice. Later I figured out that he was
He is deliberately concealing his identity."
That person acted so carefully, he must have had a comprehensive plan, and it was probably difficult to deal with. Lu Yun sighed, this task seemed to be very long. There are still some key links that have not been solved, especially the power of ice and snow.
However, this trip was not in vain. At least, he now knew one thing, there was something wrong inside Beifeng Fortress!
At this point, some things that the old Taoist knew have been explained, and Lu Yun once again mentioned the antidote to the Ice Soul Xuanyin Gu.
"You just killed my talisman soul." A sly smile appeared on the old Taoist's face, "Let's talk about compensation first."
"How should I be compensated?"
"10 gold coins." The old Taoist laughed slyly, "Recently, my life has been very tight, and you came at the right time."
No matter how he looked at it, Lu Yun felt that the old man was smiling very evilly. He even began to suspect that the old man deliberately made a skeleton to scare him, forcing him to kill the skeleton and then claim compensation. However, 10 gold coins were not enough for him now.
He said, just like the original 10 copper coins, it was not enough. So, he readily gave the old man 10 gold coins.
Ding! System prompt: Gu Wen was deeply moved by your generosity, and his favorability towards you increased by 30.
Seeing this prompt, Lu Yun sneered. This old man can increase his favorability by 30 points with 10 gold coins. Compared with the drunkard from Howling Town, he has no moral integrity.
The old Taoist bumped the gold coin in his hand: "Since you are the envoy from Silver Moon City, I will help you prepare some antidote this time. Remember, never try to take advantage of the power of ice and snow. Otherwise,
The consequences could be disastrous."
After Lu Yun agreed, the old man took him to the third floor and prepared 10 antidotes for him. Looking at the 10 bottles of medicine in his hand, Lu Yun's brows jumped twice: "To remove the poison, 10 bottles of antidote are needed.
?"
The old Taoist replied: "One bottle is enough."
Lu Yun was speechless. That guy who dared to fight was playing tricks on him. A portion of Xuanyin grass was enough to detoxify him. He actually asked him to pick 10 Xuanyin grass. He really wanted to slap him twice.
Checking the time, there are still more than forty minutes left for the mission. The return trip takes more than half an hour, so you should be able to make it in time. Farewell to Gu Wen, Lu Yun opened the wooden door of the Ice Stone Tower. "Hoo!" A cold air hit his face, and there was wind and snow.
He took the opportunity to get in and tugged at his clothes, making a loud noise. Just after taking a few steps, the wooden door behind him closed with a bang.
After going down the steps, several players appeared in front of him, blocking his way. There were four people on the other side, all from the Aoshi family. One of the warriors was wearing outstanding armor and holding a spear glowing with purple light in his hand.
Excellent. Therefore, Lu Yun paid special attention to him and immediately scanned his information.
The man's ID is called "Brilliant Nebula", a level 42 warrior. At this level, he is definitely a celebrity on the level list. Lu Yun immediately called up the rankings and found this person's information: He is currently ranked 17th in Donghao Kingdom
!
Seeing Lu Yun's calm and composed look, Bright Nebula sneered, raised the excellent spear in her hand, and pointed it at him.
