The Knight Legion was sent to patrol outside of the city, and the plan to intimidate the enemy had to be canceled.
Liang Lidong considered how to complete the quest that he had just received and find the person who changed the history. Unfortunately, there was too little information at this moment, and the only lead had been cut off. If he continued to pursue it, he would definitely reach a dead end.
However, the players were all smart, especially those who had been in the game for years. Since it was impossible to find leads directly, it might work if they tried to find the person indirectly. That was exactly what the saying "all roads lead to Rome" meant.
Liang Lidong decided to give up on finding out who changed the history of Isnas in the castle. He decided to investigate outside, and maybe he could find out where the shield sealing circle was.
As long as he found out where the shield sealing circle was, the person who changed the history of the territory would probably jump out on his own. Of course, it didn't matter if the person didn't jump out. It wouldn't kill him to do one less quest. Back in the game, there were too many failed quests.
After making up his mind, Liang Lidong began to gather information in the city. Kail and Alice were also asked to gather information about what happened three hundred years ago. They couldn't let go of any clues.
Generally speaking, whenever a major event happened in the territory, there would be a poem that was passed down. Therefore, taverns were a good place to gather information.
Liang Lidong spent a few days in the taverns in the city and heard a lot of miscellaneous news. He even triggered a few common quests, which he shared with Kail and Alice for them to complete.
After a few days, he learned something. For example, a Half-Elf Bard who was passing by sang a poem about the Hero in the tavern, which mentioned the story of Hero Kite.
The Half-Elf seemed to be more than two hundred years old. Liang Lidong bought him some good wine and gave him a gold coin. Then, he heard a very interesting piece of news.
Hero Kite had once lived in Isnas for a while and had an ambiguous relationship with Princess Becky at the time. She seemed to have given birth to a son.
Hearing that, Liang Lidong looked as if he had heard something he shouldn't have. Fortunately, Kail and Alice were completing a mission outside at that time and didn't hear it. Otherwise, he would have been devastated. After all, their ancestors being 'insulted' was not something that would make them happy no matter what.
As the saying goes, different people have different perspectives and perspectives on the same matter.
Most people only saw "romance" in this matter, but Liang Lidong saw something else. It didn't matter what kind of relationship Kite had with Princess Becky at that time. He only knew that Kite had stayed here for a period of time. In other words, it was more likely that the shield sealing array was here.
He just didn't know where to build it!
But now, Liang Lidong felt that it didn't matter anymore. It didn't matter where the shield sealing array was located, as long as he could roughly confirm the existence of such an array. Even if he knew the correct location, Liang Lidong would not destroy the seal. Instead, he would protect it.
So sometimes not being able to find it was better protection.
After knowing that the shield sealing array was very likely to be here, Liang Lidong added another piece to the intelligence puzzle in his mind. The next step was to prepare to go to the place where the Demon God was sealed, as long as the situation there was as he expected. He felt that he should be able to catch the tail of the hidden forces.
When Liang Lidong arrived at the castle, Emma happened to be accompanying her teacher out.
Emma blushed when she saw Liang Lidong. She said, "Beta, let's go for a walk on the streets."
Liang Lidong glanced at the female Mage beside her and said, "Forget it, your teacher probably hasn't seen you for a long time. You can accompany her for a walk. If I'm by her side, it's not very convenient for you to talk."
The female Mage looked at Liang Lidong almost as if she was looking at her son-in-law. Then she smiled and said, "Actually, it's not bad to walk with us."
Liang Lidong waved his hand. "Forget it. I also have some magic scrolls that I haven't completed yet."
Emma's left hand gently grasped the edge of her skirt, a look of disappointment on her face. "Alright then, we'll leave first. If you need anything, you can ask Joseph to serve you directly. "
Liang Lidong nodded and walked past the two of them to the main hall. There, he bumped into Joseph, who was walking out with an unhappy expression.
In fact, ever since Liang Lidong came to Isnas, Joseph had never been happy. He stood in front of Liang Lidong. With a dark expression, he said, "Sir, you've been here for a few days. If you're really thinking about Emma, I think you should leave this place."
Liang Lidong smiled and asked, "Oh? Are you afraid that I will affect Emma's reputation? "
"As long as you know." Joseph nodded. "Miss is an unmarried princess, and she's the Holy Lady of the Storm Temple. Of course, if you really have feelings for the Young Miss, then please follow the rules and not use such sneaky and underhanded methods. "
Liang Lidong chuckled. "I'm still going to say the same thing. I'm not interested in your Miss. We're more like friends and comrades."
"If you said that a few days ago, I would've believed you." Joseph looked at him as if he were a scumbag. "But a few nights ago, didn't you wake up Miss late at night?"
Liang Lidong nodded.
"Don't confuse Miss with the noble ladies out there who don't have any self-respect." Joseph looked at Liang Lidong's indifferent expression, and the anger on his face became even more obvious. "Miss, she is a person with a divine mission. Someone like you is not worthy of her."
Hearing another interesting word, Liang Lidong raised his eyebrow and asked with great interest, "Did you just say, destiny?"
"Yes, destiny." Joseph seemed rather zealous. "It's a destiny that people like you can't understand. This world will welcome a great disaster, but Miss is the savior. I won't allow someone like you to destroy Miss's destiny and the happiness of the rest of her life. "
Joseph's expression was somewhat deranged. Liang Lidong looked at him for a while and asked, "How many people know about the destiny?"
"Why should I tell you?" Joseph snorted. "You'd better leave the castle in two days. Otherwise, I'll have to use some unnecessary methods. If you don't listen, don't blame me for being impolite."
"You're just a butler. Do you have the right to decide?"
Joseph's face was red with anger. "I watched Miss grow up. She's like my daughter. Even though I'm indeed a servant, I believe Miss has never treated me as one. In this castle, my words have some weight. You're on your own. "
After saying that, Joseph walked away angrily.
Liang Lidong watched him leave, deep in thought. In the game, he'd been threatened by NPCs so many times that he couldn't keep track of them. He was used to it. However, Joseph's words had reminded him of something he'd almost forgotten.
He went to his room and waited for Kail, Alice, and Emma to arrive. He called the three of them to his room and said, "After investigating for so many days, I already have some clues as to who changed the history. Tonight, we'll gather outside. Emma and Alice will ambush them, while Kail and I will deal with them head-on. Understood? "
The three of them nodded.
After the three of them left, some time later, Liang Lidong knocked on Alice's door.
Alice thought it was Kail and happily opened the door. When she saw Liang Lidong, she was stunned. "Beta, why are you here?"
Liang Lidong lightly pushed Alice's shoulder and pushed her into the room. Then, he entered the room and gently closed the door.
Alice was so frightened that she hugged her chest and backed away. Her face had an abnormal blush. It was unknown whether it was because of the shock or something else, but she looked quite alluring. "Beta, what do you mean by this? I-I like Kail."
Liang Lidong sighed. "You think I'm a pervert? I came to you because I have something to tell you. Don't get the wrong idea. "
"Phew, you scared me." Alice breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, tell me. Since I'm your Knight, as long as it's not too disgusting, I can help you. "
"Okay, take Emma with you later."
Liang Lidong told her some things in a low voice. Alice was a little surprised, but she still agreed.
Soon, it was night time. At the appointed time, Liang Lidong watched Alice take Emma away from the castle through the window. After a while, he went down to the main hall and found that Joseph and the old magician were already waiting for him.
"Why did you call me here?" Joseph did not hide his disgust for Liang Lidong.
The old magician also asked, "Sir Beta, you not only called Joseph, but also me. You said that there's something wrong with Princess Emma's body. You're not scaring people, are you? "
"Of course I'm not scaring people," Liang Lidong said. "In fact, Emma's spiritual world has been tampered with."
"What do you mean?" Joseph was an ordinary person and did not know much about professionals. "What happened to Miss Emma's soul?"
"He said that the young lady's soul has been invaded." The old magician had a serious expression. "Do you have any proof for this?"
"Because I've entered Emma's spiritual world and seen it. I can confirm that her spiritual world has been tampered with, just like the history book that was tampered with."
"Oh." The old magician's smiling face had an obvious hint of ambiguity. "The young lady actually opened her spiritual world for you to enter? It seems that you really are the man chosen by the young lady. "
Joseph had a bad expression on his face. "What does that mean?"
The old magician explained with a smile. "The spiritual world is the most important spiritual core of a person. Even relatives cannot enter it, unless the two people are so close that they can't tell each other apart."
Hearing this, Joseph's face looked like he had been constipated for ten days.
