According to Emma's prophecy, there were many fire elemental creatures in this cave, but they were not very strong. Although Emma's prophecy was an illusion created by someone else, some of the information was very accurate and could be used.
The entire team was using a cross formation, with Kail in the lead. He was wearing a white half-body armor that had been passed down in his family, and there was an enchantment on it that Liang Lidong had prepared for him. He was the most suitable vanguard.
The path in the cave had been repaired by someone. They were stepping on square stone slabs, but because no one had been here for a long time, there was a lot of moss on them.
The cave was very deep, and as they gradually entered, the temperature in the cave slowly rose.
Because this was the first time Kail and Alice had a real team adventure, they were a little nervous. Kail's right hand that was holding the longsword was sweating slightly, while Alice summoned two small Flower Sprites to surround her.
The Flower Sprites did not have much attack ability, but they had good defensive abilities, and could instantly use small magic to protect their master.
Liang Lidong, Emma, and Frey all appeared very relaxed.
Liang Lidong had experienced a lot of battles in the game, so he could face every battle and adventure with a very calm state of mind. Emma, on the other hand, had seen too many life and death situations in the prophecy illusion, so her mental state was also very tough. But Frey, Liang Lidong really did not understand. If she was just a rich young lady who had never left the territory, how could she maintain a normal state of mind in this pitch-black cave?
Just because she was insensitive? Liang Lidong did not think so.
As they went deeper into the cave, the temperature also increased. After walking for a few more minutes, the cave suddenly became bigger, and there were many red dots of light at the end.
Not long after, those red dots of light flew over, and in their field of vision, they quickly enlarged, and then turned into fist-sized firebirds.
Phoenix's infant looked like this, but everyone knew that even if it was an infant phoenix, it could not be this weak. It was impossible for them to be this weak. These Firebirds were just weak fire elemental creatures disguised as Fire Phoenixes. And they were fire elemental creatures without intelligence.
Those firebirds swooped over and crashed into Kail's body. Nothing was born, it was destroyed without a trace. Kail didn't even bother to resist.
These firebirds were only the size of a human fist. To ordinary people, these firebirds might be terrifying and could kill, but to professionals, they were nothing. However, they posed no threat to Kail, especially since he had already reached Level-6, and Liang Lidong had enchanted his armor with magic resistance. These firebird elemental creatures posed no threat to him.
Everyone continued deeper into the cave. Very quickly, they saw a gigantic, dark-red magic array up ahead. In the middle of the magic array was a burning longsword. It was stabbed into the ground, and the red blade was emitting an astonishing heat.
However, most of the heat was restrained by the magic array and did not dissipate. Only a small amount of heat was released, and then it turned into a small firebird.
Liang Lidong and the others witnessed the birth of a little firebird.
On the periphery of the magic array, there were many relatively large firebirds, their wings about a meter and a half long when spread.
These firebirds were clearly much more powerful than the little firebirds in front, but they also seemed to have a certain level of intelligence. When they saw Liang Lidong and the others, they didn't pounce on them, but stayed far away.
Frey stared at the longsword in the magic array, her eyes sparkling. "There really is treasure. Your intelligence is really good. I'm a local, and I didn't know there was a magic weapon hidden here. "
Kail took two steps forward and touched his chest. He said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that the sword is very familiar, as if it is a part of my body."
"It was originally a weapon infused with the blood of your ancestors, and only those in your family who have awakened their bloodline can fully use its power," Emma explained. "The Phoenix is a divine beast with the ability to purify evil. It is now in a sealed state, and only you can pull it out without getting hurt. Anyone else who gets close will be attacked by the flames. "
Kail's eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward to pull out his own weapon.
"Wait!"
Liang Lidong suddenly shouted. Then, under everyone's strange gazes, he walked around the entire magic array. Finally, he said, "You can't pull this sword out."
"Huh, why?" Frey asked in surprise. "Didn't you come here to find this powerful magic weapon? Even though I'm only a Great Swordsman, I can still feel its power. "
"It really is a powerful weapon."
Liang Lidong walked to Freya's side, and the Pseudo Fallen Emperor suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, without hesitation, Liang Lidong stabbed at Frey.
After a crisp clang, Freya held the giant sword with both hands and took two steps back. She asked fiercely, "Sir Beta, what is the meaning of this? This magic weapon is too precious, so you want to silence me and not let the news leak? "
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Frey's three guards immediately rushed forward and protected her behind them.
Although Kail and the others were also confused, they still trusted Liang Lidong completely. The three quickly stood next to him. Kail protected Alice, who began to summon magical creatures, and Emma was already using all kinds of support spells on her own people.
"You're not Frey. You should be Theodore." Liang Lidong said indifferently. "Although we haven't seen each other for more than three hundred years, I really didn't expect you to become a woman."
Frey was stunned, then she sneered. "Sir Beta, you really like to joke. Isn't this an excuse for you to kill me and steal my treasure? "
"Kill you and steal your treasure? There's no need for that. "Liang Lidong shook his head." Emma is a puppet. We knew this from the beginning. At first, I wondered why the Hero would divide his equipment into several parts and scatter them all over the world. However, after seeing this magic array, I understood. "
Emma asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"This sword has the ability to destroy evil. It is sealing something together with the magic array. It was not that the sword was sealed by a magic array. Instead, it's the magic core of this magic array. " Liang Lidong explained, "If Kail pulls out this sword, the magic formation will fail, and the thing sealed in this mountain will escape, although I don't know what it is."
Luv Ma's face paled. Liang Lidong's words proved that her previous life, her fate. He had been manipulated all this time.
Frey sneered. "But what does this have to do with me? Why did you attack me?"
"Because you know the secret of this cave!"
"Why do you say that?" Frey's eyes narrowed.
"I guessed." Liang Lidong chuckled coldly and said, "Building such a magic array here will definitely cause a huge commotion. As the local Overlord, I will have to deal with it. As the local lord, the Lisbon family's history must have recorded this, but you didn't know anything about it. This is very suspicious. And most importantly, you didn't feel nervous at all when you entered the cave. You didn't look like a girl participating in her first adventure at all. "
Frey snorted. "Just based on these two points. It's too arbitrary. "
"It's enough." Liang Lidong said very gently, "A weak girl who has never been out of the territory but can become a Great Swordsman is abnormal no matter how you think about it. Although you say you are a warrior, someone in the Blue Harbor told me that you are a Great Swordsman. You should know what kind of mind a Great Swordsman has. I told you about the conditions and how to become a Great Swordsman. "
Hahahahaha!
Frey laughed heartily, and the weak and lovely expression on her face disappeared. Then her whole person became heroic and valiant. "As expected of my original master, you are still as smart and cautious as you were in the dream more than three hundred years ago. But I'm curious, when did you find out that I was Theodore? "
"Just when you said my cooking skills were getting better." Liang Lidong sighed. "You know me too well. Apart from a few of my friends, the five Round Table Knights know me best. But apart from Grinton, the other four Round Table Knights should have died of old age, so I was only suspicious at the time."
Alice exclaimed next to him. "So Father was also your Round Table Knight, Beta?"
"This is Grinton's daughter? No wonder she looks a little familiar. " Frey looked at Alice with her beautiful eyes and smiled. "Yes, Grinton, the strongest Lancer, was originally like me. He was a coward, but under the guidance of the original master, he became an independent strong man. "
Alice looked as if she had seen a ghost, in her mind. His father was brave and courageous, and he was invincible. Such a strong man was actually a cowardly child?
After launching a mental attack on Alice, Frey continued to ask, "Then Master, when were you sure that I was Theodore?"
"When we entered the cave. Didn't I give tactical command? " Liang Lidong said with a smile, "Only those who have been in contact with us understand the fighting style of the Golden Sons. Also, due to the laws of the plane, the word 'DPS' cannot be written down. So, no matter how detailed the records of my deeds are in the Lisbon Family, it's impossible to produce the perfect battle response you had at the entrance of the cave with just books. "
"Hahahaha." Frey laughed like a man, but she looked cute. "That's awesome. That's right, I'm Theodore. It's been a long time, Beta, my original master."
Kail and the others all looked as if they had seen a ghost. Emma extended her finger and said in disbelief, "But isn't Theodore a man?"
"Yes, I used to be a man, but I'm a woman now. Beta should know very well why I became like this. "Frey winked at Liang Lidong.
"Soul Conversion." Liang Lidong's expression was a little ugly. "I once led the Knights of the Round Table to wipe out an evil cult base. There were many evil spells inside, and among them was the forbidden spell of Soul and Body Conversion. Theodore was the one in charge of destroying the magical knowledge. "
Emma frowned. "I still don't quite understand."
"Soul Conversion is to exchange one's soul with another person. For example, I enter your body, and your soul enters my body." Liang Lidong looked at Theodore as if he were looking at a dead man. "As I recall, the closer the bloodline is, the higher the success rate of this spell. If my guess was correct, Theodore would swap bodies with his grandson or great-grandson every time he reached the end of his lifespan. So, in the Lisbon family, one of the patriarchs died suddenly every two or three generations. "
Luv Ma and the other two felt their blood run cold. They could imagine how terrifying it would be if they suddenly became old people.
Frey sighed. "Beta, you actually shouldn't have said this. This is the real world, not the dream space of the Golden Sons. You'd still die in the real world. I wanted to spare your life, but it's not easy for me now that you've said this. "
Emma interjected, "Beta, what's a Golden Son?"
Liang Lidong shook his head. "There are some things that I can't say. I don't want to lie to you."
Emma bit her lip, clearly upset. She couldn't know something that even Frey knew.
Frey laughed. "Don't be sad, little girl. He doesn't want to say it, but I'll tell you. The Golden Sons are an extraordinary race. They are …"
Liang Lidong didn't stop Frey from talking. Just because he couldn't say certain things didn't mean that other people couldn't.
But to his surprise, halfway through her speech, when she was talking about the real identity of the Golden Sons, Frey's mouth kept moving, but no sound came out.
Everybody was stunned, including Frey. Unwilling to give up, she continued, "The Golden Sons are …"
Just like before, her mouth was moving, but no sound came out. Taking a deep breath, Frey looked at Liang Lidong and said in admiration, "As expected of the Golden Sons. Your power can actually affect the real world."
Emma looked at Liang Lidong, the dejection on her face gone. "Is this why you don't want to tell me? The power of a true god is interfering? "
Liang Lidong shook his head. "It doesn't have much to do with it. It's another reason."
"It doesn't matter," Emma said delightedly. "You just know that you have an extraordinary background."
"Well, it doesn't matter if you can't say it." Frey looked at Liang Lidong. "Beta, just let your companion pull out the longsword. For the sake of your former teaching me, I'll let your companion leave, but you have to stay here. "
"Do you have to kill me?"
Frey nodded. "Yes."
"You want my body?" Liang Lidong smiled. "You announced that thing at the banquet yesterday just to get close to me and make me drop my guard so that you can swap souls with me, right?"
"Ha-ha, you're really smart, beta." Frey admitted without hesitation: "I didn't expect that the golden son of yours would appear in this world, and the one who appeared is you. The potential of the golden sons is stronger than that of elves, even more so than dragons. Just think about it, you only need a few years to grow to the level of a legend. And I am very clear, Beta, that you were once only one step away from semi-divinity, but why are you so weak now?"
