Chapter 222: Uld, Queen of the Lake
Chapter 222: Uld, Queen of the Lake
A tall woman in a blue robe and with long golden hair appeared behind the crowd. Her golden hair was long enough to touch the ground. Her forehead was tied with a thin ribbon, and a metal ring with a notch in the front was suspended around her neck. There were little bits of light flowing all over her body, emitting a holy light.
She was the first to speak: "I am Urd, Queen of the Lake. The brave warriors who have formed a bond with my followers, my sisters and I need your help."
"I hope you can save this country from the attack of the Frost Giants."
Yui flew to the middle of the crowd and said, "This person is an NPC, and a very special NPC. Unlike other NPCs who can only answer fixed questions, she is connected to the language engine module."
"Jiang Feng, is this what you said, the task automatically generated by the system? It can also produce NPCs with such high AI."
"Just listen to her and you'll know." Jiang Feng didn't tell her everything directly. It would be most interesting to explore slowly on your own.
The Queen of the Lake, Urd, who stood in front of everyone, continued, "In the past, Yozheim was not what it is now. It was the same as your Elven Kingdom. It was protected and blessed by the World Tree. It was a beautiful world like the Elven Kingdom."
"We, the Hill Giants and our beasts, have been living here peacefully until the Frost Giant King Solem, who lives beneath Yozheim, sneaked into Yozheim. Everything changed."
"The Frost Giant King Thorem thrust the holy sword Excalibur, which was said to be able to cut through all steel and trees, into the center of the world - the Fountain of Urd. The holy sword Excalibur severed the connection between the World Tree and Yozheim. From then on, the World Tree rose up and left Yozheim."
"Correspondingly, Youzheim also lost the protection and grace of the World Tree and became cold and dead."
"After doing all this, the Frost Giant King Thorem led the Frost Giants to attack Yozheim from the Land of Mist in the underworld, and imprisoned our Hill Giants. He built the capital Thoremheim in the ice formed by the Urd Spring that was swept to the top of Yozheim by the World Tree."
"My sisters and I took the opportunity to escape, but we also lost all our power. Not only that, the Frost Giants also massacred the subordinate beasts living in Yozheim, trying to completely eliminate our power and then push the capital of Solemnheim to the upper fairy kingdom."
The crowd who were originally listening to the background story suddenly thought, isn’t the central city of Allen located under the World Tree?
"Jiang Feng, could this mission also destroy the central city of Allen?" Compared to the NPC in front of them, everyone chose to ask Jiang Feng, after all, he was the administrator.
Facing everyone's gaze, Jiang Feng rubbed his chin and said, "It should be possible. After all, this is a task issued by the system, and the system's authority is still very high."
“Oh, this.” Klein and the others were obviously at a loss. They were just playing games. Could they really intervene in such a big matter?
"We have just completed the mission. Besides, I am still here, so it will be no problem to go back to the game later."
Jiang Feng's words gave them a shot of confidence. Yes, even the game administrators were afraid of something.
Queen of the Lake Urd continued, "This is the goal of the Frost Giant King Thorem. He not only wants to rule Yozheim, but also wants to attack the Elf Kingdom and finally the World Tree to take the golden apple there."
"Because of the stubborn resistance of our followers, the Frost Giants have been unable to completely rule Yozheim and proceed to the next step. So the Frost Giant King Thorem used the holy sword Excalibur as a lure to lure the elves to help him slaughter my followers."
"But the Frost Giant King Thorem will definitely not hand over the holy sword Excalibur, because that would shatter his ambitions, the World Tree would return to Yozheim, and he would be driven back to the Land of Mist in the underworld."
"Hey, so using the holy sword Excalibur is completely deceptive. Are AIs so smart nowadays?"
Queen of the Lake Urd explained: "When the time comes, the Frost Giant King Thorem will probably give them a fake sword that looks like the holy sword Excalibur."
"How cunning." Leafa couldn't help but complain: "This is too cunning."
"Cunning is also Solem's weapon. In order to cooperate with the elven warriors to completely eliminate my followers, Solem sent out all the giants in the Kingdom of Mist."
"The defense of the royal city where Solem stores the holy sword is very weak now." As she spoke, Queen Urd of the Lake stretched out her right hand, and a ball of colorful light flew out of her hand, transforming into a pendant inlaid with a green gem in mid-air. "If this gem is completely dyed black, it means that my followers have been completely destroyed by Solem. At that time, no one can stop Solem from reaching the kingdom of elves."
The pendant slowly flew towards Leafa in everyone's sight. Queen of the Lake Urd pleaded again: "Fairies, please go deep into the royal city of Thrym and pull down the holy sword Excalibur to bring a glimmer of hope to Yozheim."
Just when everyone was full of enthusiasm and ready to do something big, a prompt popped up in front of them, saying that they had received a mission. "This thing is really ruining the atmosphere. It must have been created by the system."
Looking at the gradually disappearing Queen of the Lake Urd, Jiang Feng said, "Stop talking so much, let's go."
With Dongqi's help, they approached the royal city of Solem, the inverted pyramid-shaped crystal formed by the Urd Spring in the center of the world.
Leafa lay on Dongqi's head, patted Dongqi and said, "Don't worry, Dongqi, we will definitely save your country from Solem." Dongqi also made a roar to respond to Leafa.
After stepping down from Dong Qi's back and standing in front of the huge door made of ice crystals, Jiang Feng said to the others, "Are you all ready? The powerful enemy we are about to face can influence ALO. Do you have confidence?"
"I'm still a little worried. After all, this mission looks weird no matter how you look at it. Will there really be no trouble?" Silica was still very worried. After all, she had been playing games for so long and had never participated in such a large-scale mission. It was normal for her to be scared.
Jiang Feng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Silica. Although this mission was created by the system based on the Ragnarok of Norse mythology, and it could really destroy the entire ALO world, I'm here, so no matter how big the trouble is, it won't be a disaster."
