The system gave the wrong traveler

Chapter 179 - Gaia Forest
While Lu Ming and others were investigating the undead in the Gaia Forest, the old Count Espernar looked at the body of his only son in the mansion, trembling in silence.

"Lord Ivenes! Why did my son die!?" Suddenly the old Earl Espenal roared in the empty hall.

"Hehehehe!" Earl Espenal just finished speaking, when a girl's laughter rang out in the hall where no one else was there.

If he didn't know who made the laughter, Earl Espernall might have thought it was haunted.

"Count Espernall, didn't you always laugh and watch the heirs of other nobles being killed? Why, now that it's your son's turn, do you feel distressed? Hehe."

As soon as he heard this, Count Espernar immediately yelled: "This is different!!"

"What's the difference?"

"My son is your most loyal follower. And those people are just a group of people chasing fame and fortune! How can this be compared with my son!?"

"Really? Why, in my opinion, is there no difference between him and those people?"

Hearing the words of Ivenes, the woman whom he and his dead son were loyal to, the old Isbonal suddenly became furious, trembling and shouting: "If you hurt my heart, don't be afraid that I will take yours. Did you tell His Majesty Ravensk?!"

"." Evanis was silent for a moment, then sneered and said: "Old man, do you think my men will leave trouble? Now the entire Isbernar family, except for the two of you who followed Huo Gnet went to the grandchildren of Gaia Forest, and you are the only one left!"

As soon as Evenes finished speaking, a masked man led a group of people into the room where the old Earl Isbonal was, and looked at the old Earl Isbonal viciously.

Turning his head and glancing at those people, the old Earl Espenal gave a helpless wry smile and said, "My lord, I wish you success."

Ignoring the irony of the old Earl Isbonal, the masked man directly held the blood-stained long sword, walked towards the old Earl Isbonal, and then pierced his chest with the sword!
"You will definitely die without a place to bury you." Before dying, the old Earl Espernall grabbed the masked man's hand and cursed the masked man with his last strength.

But the masked man didn't care about his curse at all.

With all his strength, he withdrew the long sword from the old earl's chest, and blood spurted out immediately, splashing the masked man's clothes and the ground.

After wiping slightly, the blood spattered on his face, the masked man gave the old count who had lost his life a cold look, and then led the people away.

However, neither he nor Ivanes thought that the second lady of the Espernall family who they mistakenly thought had been killed was actually not dead!
Ten minutes later, the soldiers of the patrolling city defense station discovered something was wrong with the Isbonal family's mansion.It was also this soldier who found the second young lady who was only seriously injured and unconscious, and sent her to the hospital, where the royal family sent someone to protect her.
-
More than half an hour later, Lu Ming and others searched the former stronghold of the undead inside and out. Unfortunately, they found nothing except the notebook.

Helpless, Lu Ming and the others could only leave here temporarily, and continued to move toward the depths of the forest.

However, in comparison, everyone still didn't want to go deep into the forest.

Although there were no powerful monsters in the forest, the undead and the sudden appearance of giants made this previously not very dangerous forest terrifying.

Walking on the rotten leaves, many people were carefully looking at the ground, for fear of any poisonous insects.

However, Hognet and Louis discovered that Lu Ming could always avoid all kinds of poisonous insects without even looking at his feet.He looked like a forest expert, which made everyone envious and angry.

Suddenly, Lu Ming stopped.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Lu Ming.Lu Ming stretched out his hand, pointed to a bush in the distance, and shouted to others: "There are people there, everyone beware!"

Immediately, everyone drew their weapons and looked over there cautiously.

Soon, the bushes shook, making everyone nervous.

But the people who ran out from there were not threatening local people.

It was a wounded woman.She looked only in her twenties, and she was wearing a strong suit. Her right hand seemed to be wounded by everything, hanging there, and her left hand was covering the wound on her right arm.Everyone could see from a distance that blood was flowing from her fingers.

Since it was not a threatening person, Glass and Kailinna asked people to save the woman.But suddenly a masked man with a knife rushed out of the bush, and rushed towards the injured woman.

When they saw the masked man, Louis and Karina were taken aback.

The man was from Ivenes, and he was probably the one who killed their father, but Louis, who didn't know that there were only three people left in the family, grabbed him and wanted to rush to kill the masked man. Kailinna, whose father took revenge, made the masked man quickly come behind the woman, ready to charge the long sword into the woman's body.
But, will Lu Ming and Losric give him this chance?The answer is impossible!
"Super speed!" Just when the masked man was about to kill the woman, Lu Ming used a stroke of super speed, cutting off the masked man's hands and snatching the masked man's weapon.

Immediately, the masked man whose arms were chopped off screamed. He fell to the ground, wailing and rolling, but no one came to rescue him.

Even though his companions didn't come out from the bushes before, they were already scared away by Lu Ming's skill at this moment.

After a faint glance in the northeast direction, Lu Ming supported the injured woman and returned to the team, saying to the others: "Let's leave quickly."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the northwest direction.

There was no way, the crowd had no choice but to follow, and the injured woman was supported by a soldier before she had time to treat the wound, and followed the steps of the crowd.

Following the departure of Lu Ming and others, following the wailing of the masked man, a huge green giant walked towards the masked man with heavy steps.

The giant's footsteps caused slight vibrations, alerting the masked man through the earth, causing him to stop wailing.

But when he noticed something was wrong and saw the giant, the giant had already seen him.

When the giant discovered that the thing wailing on the ground was a human being, he immediately roared.ran over quickly.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~" As the masked man yelled, a huge foot stepped on his head
Ten minutes later, Lu Ming and others stopped in a hidden place, and the priest in the team also treated the injured woman, so that her wound stopped bleeding.

"Who are you? Who was that person before? Why did he kill you?" Standing in front of the woman, Hognet asked the woman.

"I am one of the spies who came to investigate the fortress. Because I found something, I was chased by that man and his accomplices. And that man's identity is naturally the one who plans to use the undead for something!" The woman looked slightly. He glanced at the two people from the Isbernar family, and then said to Hognit.

"How do you say, do the nobles and the royal family have an investigation team besides us?" Glass glanced at the female spy with some doubts, and asked to himself.

"Losric and I came to the Imperial Capital at the request of Grand Duke Hastur of Carcosa. Although it is likely that the Royal Family's idea is that Grand Duke Hastur wanted me and Lothric to come to the Imperial Capital. But this They are members of the official investigation team!" Lu Ming glanced at Grice and explained speechlessly.

"Forehead"

Ignoring the bewildered Glass, Hognet asked the female spy, "How far are we from the undead fortress?"

"There is still half a kilometer to the west." The female spy pointed to the west and said.

"West side?" Lu Ming glanced at the west, and then asked the female spy: "By the way, you have been running with us for so long, why don't you know your name? Can you tell us, what is your name?" ?”

"I don't have a name, just call me Agent 77." That replied very coldly.

Seeing that No. 77 was a bit too indifferent to others, Hognett on the side had no choice but to explain: "She should be a war orphan adopted by the royal family. She has no name from the beginning, and has always used a code name to refer to herself."

It turns out that this woman is a war orphan adopted by the royal family. She has been trained to be an excellent agent since she was a child. She has been engaged in various dangerous jobs. Just like this time when exploring the Gaia Forest, almost all of them will end up being accidentally... Dead mission.

However, according to Hognett, when an agent like No. 77 reaches the age of 30, the royal family will give him a name, give him freedom, and arrange him to be an officer in the army.Although it is said that 40.00% of the agents do not live to be 30 years old, the royal family is not unreasonable after all, at least the line that manages these agents is not.

"We should start now, this is not a place to stay for long." After a short rest, Lu Ming casually nailed a large red centipede that was slowly approaching Glass and Kailinna under the dead leaves to the ground with his long sword. , stood up and said to the others.

Looking at the big centipede writhing under the straight sword of Iluziel, slowly being frozen by the cold air from the straight sword, Glass swallowed, and hurriedly supported Kailinna, who was lifted from a raised Get up on tree roots.The others also stood up one after another, ready to go.

At this time, Agent No. 77 walked to Lu Ming step by step, and said, "I will guide you, but you have to help me rescue my companion. Even if it is a corpse!"

"Okay!" Before Lu Ming and Losric could say anything, Hognit and Glass agreed immediately.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, both Lu Ming and Losric sighed. Although some felt that Hognet and Glass were a little meddling, they could only admit it with their noses pinched.Even though most of Agent 77's companions are dead out of ten—
After Agent 77 led the way, Lu Ming began to head straight for the undead fortress. Although they encountered many wandering spirits on the way, they were all safe and easy to kill. those wandering spirits.

When it was past eleven noon, Lu Ming and the others finally saw the undead fortress.

Looking at the dilapidated fortress, Lu Ming's first reaction was nothing but surprise.

Because that fortress is almost exactly the same as [Forest of Fallen Giant] in Dark Souls 2, it can even be said that [Forest of Fallen Giant] was forcibly summoned by someone directly from Dolan Gureg.

In that huge fortress, there are a large number of undead soldiers who have not yet turned into souls and are training. Moreover, Lu Ming also saw two pitch-black cursers standing on a platform in the fortress, swords and swords. They were slashing each other and doing swordsmanship training.

Standing at a place much higher than where the fortress is located, looking at the situation inside the fortress, Lu Ming and Losric's expressions were not very good-looking.

"Two cursers plus a thousand undead, although not too powerful, but it is enough to attack the imperial capital and cause riots." Lu Ming and Losric looked at each other, then said to others .

At this time, No. 77 pointed to a corner of the fortress and said to Lu Ming and others: "Look there, those people are planning to use the undead to plot evil!"

Following the direction pointed by No. 77 and looking inside the fortress, Lu Ming and others saw several masked men.

At this moment, those masked men were talking to a gorgeously dressed woman, as if that woman was the leader of these people or the undead.

"What should we do? Should we go back first? Or go straight down?" Glass glanced at the woman who was talking to the masked man, and asked Lu Ming and Losric.

Lu Ming and Losric did not speak, but took out their mobile phones, and took out several sets of Dolan Gureg knight's armor from it.

"A space object?" Hognet glanced at the phones of Lu Ming and Losric lightly, then picked up a set of knight's armor and put it on his body.

Seeing this, others naturally did the same. Even the wounded No. 77 was forcibly put on a set of armor.

"When we talk to those undead later, remember not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, we are likely to be besieged by a large group of undead!" Lu Ming, who put on a set of Dolan Gureg knight armor, Before putting on the helmet, he instructed the others.

"Understood." Knowing that Lu Ming and Lothric know the undead very well, everyone naturally wouldn't say much. After all, they don't understand the undead and the country of the undead. What if they say the wrong thing?
After getting dressed, Lu Ming and the others left two people, Kodora and Katie behind, just in case.Then go down from the high point to the low place where the fortress is, and prepare to enter the fortress from the entrance by a river through the stairs.

But in a room where the stairs were, two undead soldiers stopped Lu Ming and the others.

"Who are you?" Because the armor on Lu Ming and the others was the armor of Dolan Gureg's knights, these undead men did not attack Lu Ming and the others, but asked them who they were.

Regarding this, Lu Ming naturally snorted coldly, pretended to be very angry, and shouted: "Bastard! How dare you ask us!"

The undead man who asked Lu Ming and others was a low-level soldier. He saw Lu Ming yelled and scolded him. He mistakenly thought that Lu Ming and others were really knights of the kingdom, so he hurriedly made way for another low-level soldier. , let them go up through the stairs.
