About to leave

After hearing Emma's words, Kail fell silent. He could imagine that if Barbara was gone, and Alice sacrificed herself to protect him, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life. Such a marriage was indeed a tragedy for a girl.

Alice, on the other hand, was quite happy. Sacrificing herself for the man she loved would make him remember her for the rest of his life. What a romantic thing it was. Alice held her blushing cheeks, wishing that she could die in Kail's arms and make him cry for her.

Girls in love were always full of all kinds of strange feelings that men couldn't understand.

Liang Lidong patted the chanting platform and focused the attention of the three people below him. He said, "I called you here to ask what you think of this fate. Kail, do you want to be the Hero who saves the world? And Alice, are you willing to act with Kail? It might cost you your life. "

"Of course I'm willing!" Alice answered first, and at the same time, stole a few glances at Kail from time to time.

Kail thought for a long time. Then he asked, "Saintess Emma, Barbara is still alive, and the people of Reed Village are living well. The fate you mentioned has broken off. I don't have the Hero bloodline that you mentioned. Although my ancestor was indeed a Hero, I'm very weak now and can't become a powerhouse who can defeat magic. Instead of asking me for help, it's better to ask my teacher to help you."

Kail wasn't a timid person. He refused not because he was afraid, but because he was worried that he would be a burden.

She had to admit that what Kail said made sense. Emma took a deep breath and turned to Liang Lidong. "Mr. Beta, you've cut off the fate I know. But I can swear in the name of the Goddess of Storms that the resurrection of the demon god is absolutely true. "

"If we can't kill the demon god, countless people will definitely be harmed, and the Hero hasn't awakened his bloodline yet. So, Mr. Beta, we really need your power. We really need your power, the kind of power that can change fate. "

Liang Lidong was actually not interested in Emma's request at all. A so-called Demon God wanted to destroy the human world. If such a thing really happened, the Gods would be the first to object. The positive emotions and negative emotions of humans were the Gods' 'food'. Without humans in the world, Liang Lidong was not interested at all. Then even if the gods did not perish, they would fall from their altars and become mortals.

Just as he was about to reject Emma, he suddenly frowned, because he saw the system prompt.

[Epic Quest triggered: Assist the Hero Party led by Kail to kill the False Demon God Diablo.]

Liang Lidong could not help but inwardly suck in a deep breath. An Epic Quest. He never thought that after the Quest System was repaired, It was such an exaggerated mission. Liang Lidong had been in the game for eight years and had only accepted one epic quest. Moreover, it had been triggered by his cousin and his friend, who had then shared it with him and pulled him into the party. Only then did he get the opportunity to see what an epic quest was like.

Looking at the orange-gold prompt, Liang Lidong clearly understood that this color represented an exaggerated number of experience points. There was also an unknown epic equipment. Any player who completed an epic quest would experience a huge increase in their strength.

Liang Lidong muttered to himself for a moment and said, "I will think about it. You should go and do your own things first."

After saying that. Liang Lidong returned to the rear hall.

He sat on his chair and stared blankly at the tall window. In truth, he really wanted to complete the epic quest, but the holy war was imminent, and an epic quest usually took more than half a year to complete, which was considered fast. According to Emma's prophecy, they had to go to another country and obtain the three pieces of the Hero's Set, which were passed down from Kail's ancestors. Only then could they kill Diablo.

This was a typical Knight novel routine. The more it was like this, the more Liang Lidong felt that prophecy was unreliable. Although the quest system did indeed say that Diablo existed, the quest system was actually very immoral. It was generated on the spot based on the NPCs' current requests, and it did not distinguish between good and evil, or whether the content was true or false … In the past, Liang Lidong had completed two requests from NPCs. They looked normal, but in reality, they were helping the wicked.

Ever since then, whenever Liang Lidong accepted a quest, he would first investigate it before completing it, lest he be used by NPCs with ulterior motives.

Liang Lidong did not believe in Emma's prophecy from the start. However, he believed that Emma was a good girl. Sometimes, a good girl was not necessarily smart. Perhaps she was being controlled by something.

Epic-ranked quest … No matter what, it was an irresistible temptation. Liang Lidong wanted to eat this thing. Once he completed it, he could break through to LV7 or LV8 in a short period of time.

After reaching lvl 5, leveling up would become more and more difficult. Every level was a huge leap, and it would be too slow to use the regular daily training method. To break through to the legendary realm, it would take one or two hundred years, just like the half-elf Grindon.

Liang Lidong thought for a long time and considered many things. Then, late at night, he finally made a decision. He would go with Emma and the others to kill the so-called demon god Diablo. Moreover, he felt that Kail, Emma, and the others were pawns on a chessboard, and he wanted to see who the players were.

He wrote a lot of plans for Reed Village overnight. Little Jessica wanted to stay up too, but she was too young and was at the age when she was sleepy. She fell asleep before she knew it.

The next day.

Liang Lidong gathered his students and gave his plan to Belin, making her the temporary village chief. The plan included a development plan for Reed Village for the next year, which was enough for Liang Lidong and the others to complete the epic quest and return.

If it were a few days ago, Belin would have been very uneasy when she received such an important task, fearing that she was not capable enough. But after what happened the day before yesterday, she was much braver. She was someone who dared to face death, and was no longer afraid of taking on some responsibilities.

The other students were envious of Belin, but they also knew that Belin was quite outstanding, and it was normal for the teacher to give her the power.

Looking at his students, Liang Lidong said, "While I'm away, you will continue your work according to the plan I gave you. After you're done, Belin will give you new tasks. Most importantly, you have to take time out every day to practice your swordsmanship or other combat abilities. In addition, the defense on the city wall must be done well. I don't think you want a second enemy invasion. "

Upon hearing this. The students looked at Emma, who was sitting at the side. These children had been taught by Liang Lidong and were very smart. Although no one said anything about Emma, they vaguely guessed that it was this girl who had lured the enemy into the village.

But because Emma was too pretty, most boys couldn't bring themselves to hate her.

Liang Lidong said, "That's right, you're very smart. What happened the day before yesterday was indeed related to her, but even without her, other enemies would have come sooner or later. Sooner or later, other enemies will come knocking on our door because the defensive measures at the city wall must not be stopped. If you encounter any suspicious people, you must not let them in. Do you understand? "

The children nodded.

They were a group of sensible students, and every teacher liked to teach such children.

Then the students were dismissed. Liang Lidong asked Kail to stay behind. Alice was also staying in the shrine. Although her home was in Bronze Drum City, which was a little far. But she had a unicorn as a mount and could come and go like the wind. It would take an ordinary warhorse about two hours to run from Bronze Drum City, but she only needed a little more than half an hour.

After all, she was one of the three mythical beasts. It would be strange if she did not have some special abilities.

Liang Lidong looked at Kail and said, "Although you haven't awakened the Hero's bloodline, your strength is indeed lacking. You can't even compare to Alice, but you have an advantage that she doesn't have. Your foundation is very solid. I originally wanted to wait until you were stronger, until your mind was completely settled. Then I would confer you the title of Knight of the Round Table. But now the situation has changed, and you have to deal with a very powerful creature.

So, I can only give my power to you in advance. "

"Teacher, you're willing to make me your Knight?" Kail asked in surprise.

Alice was also very happy. As Liang Lidong's Knight, she naturally knew how exaggerated the change in strength would be after being conferred the title of Knight of the Round Table.

After receiving a nod from Liang Lidong, Kail walked up to his teacher excitedly and knelt on one knee. Emma watched from the side, feeling baffled. They were about to embark on a journey to save the world, so why was there suddenly a title of Knight?

Taking out the Pseudo-Emperor Fallen Sword from his spatial bag, Liang Lidong pressed the sword against Kail's shoulder and asked, "Kail, are you willing to become my Knight?"

The conferment circle appeared, and in the colorful light of magic, Kail read the knight's oath with a holy expression. After that, the contract was established, and with his pained expression, the Knight of the Round Table's power began to take effect … Emma, who was watching from the side, was even more shocked. In this short period of time, she could actually feel that Kail's strength had increased by a lot. Although it was not as exaggerated as the awakening of the power of the bloodline, she could feel that his potential had increased greatly.

"What's going on?" Emma asked Liang Lidong.

Liang Lidong only said lightly, "I'll explain it to you later."

At that moment, Kail jumped up from his chair and excitedly punched and kicked, feeling his newfound strength. Emma noticed that there was a silver-white coat of arms on the back of his left hand. She was not stupid. After connecting many things together, she finally piled a surprised expression on her face. "This is a Knight conferment ceremony that can strengthen subordinates?"

Liang Lidong nodded, then said, "Kail, go to the cave and memorize those magic patterns. They should be your family's bloodline magic. We'll be leaving tomorrow. Alice, go back now and tell your father that I asked him for five hundred gold coins, and that he must deliver them to me before nightfall. Emma … Do whatever you want. "

Kail turned around and left. Not only could the attribute growth of a Knight of the Round Table strengthen one's physique, it could also strengthen one's intelligence. Right now, Kail felt that he should be able to learn the bloodline magic in the cave.

Alice was a little unhappy. "500 gold coins. Go rob them. That's about three to four years of tax revenue in Bronze Drum City. Why would father give it to you?"

"Don't worry about that. Just tell him what I said."

Alice stomped her feet and left the temple on her mighty white unicorn. Seeing that there was no one left in the temple, Emma looked at Liang Lidong and asked, "Lord Beta, because Fate has been severed, I don't know what to do next. Do you have any ideas?"

"Let's find the three ancestral equipment of the Reed family first. Do you know where they are?"

Emma nodded. "I've checked their locations with prophecy. The longsword is sealed in the Earth Elemental Cave in Cambay Island, the armor is kept in the treasury of the Castellan in Sisilia, and the cloak is on the Snow Mountain Altar at the top of the Eternal Snow Peak, guarded by a team of snow elves."

"It sounds like something out of a Knight novel. Why would Kail's ancestor divide his family's belongings into four parts — bloodline magic, longsword, armor, and cloak?" Liang Lidong was confused. "Wouldn't it be better to keep all of them at home?"

Emma explained, "The Hero's legacy equipment is very powerful because Hero Kite did not want his descendants to be too dependent on equipment."

Liang Lidong, however, felt that such an explanation was not right … Instead, he felt that there might be other reasons why the three pieces of Hero equipment were scattered.

Emma thought for a moment and said, "Since you proposed to find the equipment first, the longsword of the Reed family is very important, and it's located closest to us. If we set off tomorrow, we'll go to Winterwind first and spend three days in Blue Wave Harbor. Then, we'll take a boat to Cambay Island and get the longsword back."

"No, we have to find the equipment first, but I don't want to act according to your prophecy!" Liang Lidong waved his hand and said, "Let's go to Sisilia first … Since this is an epic quest, Kail is not the only one with good equipment. We all have to have powerful equipment."

Emma was confused. "Why do we have to go to Sisilia first if we want to find equipment? That place is the furthest from us. If we go there first, we'll have to go back to Cambay Island, which will be a waste of time. Moreover, good professional equipment costs a lot. Five hundred gold coins for professional equipment is barely usable, but if it's used against a Demon God, then it's no different from a wooden weapon. "

"That's why I want 500 gold coins. Sisilia is the most prosperous city apart from the Imperial City. We can do business there and earn a lot of money in a short period of time. Then, we can use the money to buy materials and craft our own equipment."

Emma had the expression of hearing a fairytale: "Your Excellency Beta, are you overthinking, is money so easy to earn?"
