“Yes, that place is mentioned in a very old legend…”
Luo Lei had a sad look in his eyes as he said, “The land of has always been a country where man, elf, and barbarian have lived peacefully together. However, a terrifying demon race has tried to invade us from the north time and time again. Thus, ten thousand years ago, the ancient empire began a war between the demons and the gods. Nearly 5 million soldiers were recruited into the allied armies that were lead by 17 heroes. They passed through the Ice Ridge Mountains and fought against the demons. That war lasted for 11 years, and 4.7 million of the brave souls lost their lives. Even those 17 heroes who lead the armies had died. Not a single man came back, but that sacrifice brought about ten thousand years of peace to our lands.”
Luo Lin gritted his teeth, “Father, I thought that this quest was to search the Demonic Spirit Domain. Looks like, you’re looking for something specific?”
Luo Lei nodded, “That’s right. The battlefield on which the seventeen heroes died has since been covered in dust and sediment and become the Graveyard of the Heroes it is today. Once those heroes died, their ashes were scattered in the winds, but their weapons have not disappeared. Legend has it… that the strongest of the seventeen heroes—— rumored to be an expert in the holy domain, “Aries” had also died on that battlefield and his sword—— a godly weapon named “Despair” was also lost in that area. Legend has it that this sword “Despair” contains limitless power and that whoever wields this sword will have it at their command. “阿尔硫斯” relied solely on this Despair and killed seven of the holy domain level demons. In the end, he had died from using too much strength. After the final battle, the Graveyard of the Heroes has since been sealed by a powerful force. If nothing out of the ordinary has happened, then that godly weapon “Despair” should still be in those ruins. Lin Er, this time as you scout the Graveyard of the Heroes, you cannot provoke the demons of the north. Your primary responsibility is to return that sword to Ba Huang City!”
Luo Lin took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, “Father, do not worry. I will bring Despair back!”
“Good!”
One the side, Frost’ elegant eyebrows were slightly knit and she said, “Your majesty, if I may ask, why do you want to obtain this Despair?”
Luo Lei was startled by the question and he smiled, “The Dark Moon Elves of the northeast’s savage tribe have continuously tried to invade Ba Huang City’s borders. Eventually, they’ll start a war. After the battle with Jiu Lu City, our Ba Huang City has lost many commanders, and our strength has waned. If we do not have a godly weapon like Despair to strengthen ourselves, I’m afraid that Ba Huang City will not be able to last in another battle. Furthermore, the distant Swampy Abyss and Waterfront Cities have been watching the Tian Ling Empire for a long time. As the guardian city of the empire, Ba Huang City must strengthen itself!”
Frost squinted her eyes and said, “Understood. I will do everything in my power to help Lord Luo Lin find Despair!”
“That is good. With Frost’s full support, this quest will definitely be successful!”
Luo Lei was startled and then said, “Lin Er, is 3000 people really enough?”
Luo Lin nodded, “Yes it is. We’re going up against demons who are not your average monster. Even if we bring more people it would still be of no use. Three thousand is enough!”
“Alright, then let us set off. I wish you a good journey!”
“Thank you father!”
