Players’ NPC daddy.

After making sure that no strangers appeared, Lancelot propped himself up and staggered towards the hidden cave. This place had also been swept by strangers ranked among the knights, but they seemed not to know the secrets here. They just searched inside and out and left in disappointment.

Lancelot felt strange, but the waves in the pool interrupted Lancelot's meditation. A huge black ship broke through the water and appeared in front of her, splashing her with waves. Her face was full of tears. In fact, she had such an idea that Blaze and Herbie did not give her a chance to hesitate. She did not agree at that time, so they decided to abandon her at that time.

"Lancelot? Lancelot!" Blazer stood at the bow. He waved his arms in surprise when he saw Lancelot. Then, as Lancelot looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't, he said to the people behind him, "I said she was still here. Sorry, I forgot about you!"

Blazer learned a lot about the Devil's Triangle from the sailors who had left. The legendary sea monsters were in large numbers, and the harsh environment was getting worse every day as if there was a competition between them.

In such a harsh environment, they urgently needed people who were good at fighting at sea. Then Blaze thought of Lancelot, a warrior who could walk on water. Then he remembered that Lancelot seemed to be planning to go with them, but because he and Greenland stole the crown of the Everqueen, he thought they would be caught if they didn't set off quickly, so he set sail in a hurry.

As a result... I forgot about Lancelot.

Judging from Lancelot's miserable appearance, he must have suffered a lot to get here.

Blaze fell from the boat, and before he could speak, Lancelot suddenly asked, "How many people knew I was coming here? Apart from the trustworthy [Hermes's Traveling Hat]."

Blaze was stunned, and although confused, he immediately gave an accurate answer.

"Before setting off, I didn't tell anyone about your existence, but I just told the people on the Dead Bear about you, and found the nearest whirlpool and returned here."

Lancelot looked at the Dead Bear and slowly narrowed his eyes.

There is an undercover agent inside the Dead Bear now.

"Any questions?"

"No, I just want to tell you that the lake fairies have taken action. They are searching for the only remaining old twelve knights." Lancelot decided not to tell Blaze that there was an undercover agent in the Dead Bear. She hoped that Blaze and the others would keep their original pace, and she would secretly investigate the undercover agent.

"When did they start doing this?"

"today."

Blaze paused, his expression darkening.

When they were searching for the Fountain of Youth, the Eternal Kingdom didn't react at all. But they started taking action as soon as the Fountain of Youth was destroyed?

In addition to the thief Annie, there are other undercover agents in the Dead Bear.

Chapter 1171 Guys, Let's Grab the Sea

"I have something to ask you."

Blaze brought Lancelot to the captain's room of the Dead Bear. Now it was occupied by the stranger [Somado] and him. Even Captain Babo could not come in, so this space was absolutely safe.

"Ah! Undercover!"

Lancelot, who was planning to secretly investigate the undercover agent, pointed at the tailor and screamed the moment he entered the captain's room, then immediately drew out his branch sword.

Lancelot was greatly surprised. Logically speaking, an undercover agent's identity should be as inconspicuous as possible, such as an ordinary sailor or something like that, and it would be best if he was bribed. However, a stranger, and such an inconspicuous character as the First Knight, actually came to be an undercover agent.

The tailor looked at Lancelot calmly and uttered four words that pierced Lancelot.

"He is defeated."

"Ugh!" Lancelot knelt on the ground, as if he was burned out.

How did the strangers get these twelve knights of the old times to accept the ranking of knights? Of course, it was a fair and aboveboard knight duel.

There were also blessed ones in the Eternal Kingdom, and the Twelve Knights were all blessed ones. Only with immortal bodies could they fulfill their duties as the Twelve Knights, and that was why they could govern the kingdom and embark on dangerous adventures in search of the Fountain of Youth.

The moment they were immersed in the water of the Holy Grail, their lives were reshaped and they became fairies of the lake, and the blessing was gone. But instead, their experiences, their bravery, and their wisdom were transformed into skills, and their levels were recalculated as fairies of the lake.

The twelve knights who transformed into fairies are at LV150. As they were once blessed ones, they know clearly the difference between LV150 and LV99.

Great difference.

So when faced with the knights' challenge from foreigners, they not only accepted it, but also chose to take off their armor and weapons, and were even willing to give the foreigners a hand. Only in this way could it be fair.

The result, of course, was that they were beaten to a pulp, their dignity was shattered, and they gloriously became mediocre apprentice knights in the new era knight rankings. From then on, they could not turn things around even if they worked day and night.

The tailor was naturally the one who defeated Lancelot, successfully inherited Lancelot's position, and has not been replaced to this day.

"Undercover?" Greenland asked. She found it quite strange that there was an undercover in a guild of less than ten people.

The tailor shook his head and said seriously, "I don't like long-term missions like undercover. I prefer infiltration and assassination. But I will ask about this matter. Wait..."

The seamstress rolled her eyes, then after a moment rolled them back again.

"Oh, it seems there is a commission that is only open to those at the Knight Commander and Apprentice Knight ranks."

"In the name of the Everqueen, bring back these knights of the old times who are secretly plotting rebellion."

Lancelot's eyes bulged, this was a blatant rumor.

Even if she had the intention, she didn't have the ability.

"It just so happens that these are the two levels with the most intense competition. They will do anything to climb the rankings." Greenland frowned with a headache. She didn't think that this matter had anything to do with their search for the Fountain of Youth.

It would be better to say that the Eternal Kingdom is the hidden enemy that exists from beginning to end in their mission to find the Fountain of Youth.

According to treasure-hunting entertainment works, the Eternal Kingdom is the kind of place that is rich and powerful. Although it can use conspiracies and tricks, when faced with key treasures, especially when it has obtained them or is about to obtain them, its intelligence will be reduced and it will be trapped to death.

Generally, those who complete this kind of plot killing are characters who are looked down upon by them but are actually deceived by them.

Greenland put her hands on her hips and sighed helplessly. Although she didn't want to use this tactic in this game with a high degree of freedom, the Eternal Kingdom was one of the three major kingdoms and was too difficult to deal with. If she could kill it by the plot, she would do it quickly.

She thought about it, and then discovered with embarrassment that the character that met the requirements for plot killing seemed to be the thief Annie, but she had already finished filming early.

"Damn it! I should have kept her. I shouldn't have taken the trouble to pull her out in advance. If I had kept her, she would have attracted a large number of... ugh!" Greenland covered his face and wailed, because he was familiar with the routine, and it was also a [SKIP] to expose her in advance because he took the trouble to do so.

Originally, they could have used this undercover agent to continuously induce people, but in the end... she had been sanctioned for the second time.

"Investigate again and report back!" Greenland gave the order to the tailor.

"We, the Twelve Knights, are relatively isolated from the masses. We have asked many people about the capture of the Twelve Knights of the Old Era." A trace of embarrassment appeared on the tailor's calm face. "Shall I go ask?"

"…Are you asking about the other Twelve Knights?"

"Yeah, I don't have many friends either."

"Then don't ask. The other twelve knights are not friendly forces. Their first reaction after noticing the abnormality will definitely not be to unite with you. You'd better be careful. If they know your movements, they might take the opportunity to attack you."

As an all-rounder, Greenland knew very well that there was absolutely no such thing as friendship among those at the top of the rankings, not to mention that the Tailor had been sitting in the position of First Knight for too long.

The seamstress nodded.

"The group of lake fairies from the Eternal Kingdom are floating up. They will soon be on the stage for the showdown. Fortunately, our victory condition does not depend on defeating them." Greenland put his hands on the table, pointing to the sea area with burnt marks on it.

"The Devil's Triangle is the location of the fountain of youth. I looked up some information. In fact, many people have been to the Devil's Triangle. It is an area of ​​sea that is almost entirely made up of whirlpools."

"If you move forward randomly, you will be sucked in and then come out of another vortex. This is why direction is meaningless."

"There is only one vortex leading to the source of the Fountain of Youth. It moves around like it's playing hide-and-seek with us. Considering that there are vortexes everywhere, it's almost impossible to catch up with it. It seems that the only way to pass through the vortex leading to the source of the Fountain of Youth is to wait for it to happen."

"So..." Greenland stretched out his voice, as if wanting to arouse everyone's curiosity and create suspense.

But the reality was that only Blaze's eyes lit up and looked expectant, while the others started to roll their eyes. This was clearly a way for her to hang up and look up information, and she couldn't miss the opportunity to show off the clues and inspiration she had worked so hard to dig out.

"Friends, let's grab that sea!"

Clap, clap, clap—Blaze clapped excitedly, but the others looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Chapter 1172 Undercurrent

The Devil's Triangle was a completely dark sea, with whirlpools forming in the waves all the time. The space there was extremely chaotic, and if you walked forward, you would end up behind because of the whirlpools.

One of the reasons why it is called the Devil is because of its harsh environment. Another reason is that there is a probability of generating a whirlpool heading to the Devil's Triangle in any water environment around the world.

Since the whirlpool is very similar to an old flush toilet, most players' first reaction is to dive in. The result is of course tragic. Even the strongest players are land creatures. If they are caught off guard and dragged into the Devil's Triangle, they will definitely die.

Before the great changes, the Devil's Triangle was just a legend among players, and most people who had been there never had the chance to go there again.

And after everything turned upside down... the Devil's Triangle is still a mysterious area, but because the whirlpools on the sea surface also have the probability of entering the Devil's Triangle, the probability of entering the Devil's Triangle has increased.

The reason is very realistic. The Devil's Triangle is right there, but no player has been able to reach it so far.

[Somado] felt bored after just sailing for a few days, not to mention other players. Sailing on the sea is a long and boring thing.

Unless there are a lot of people involved.

The Eternal Kingdom has launched a Guild War Rehearsal Event, which is only open to those who are in the Knight Ranking and above.

Guild Wars are the only activities created by the game's official intervention in the game world. Whether it is the automatically generated Guild Crystals or the Transmission Crystal Towers, they are all limited to the Guild War period.

The players now roughly know what the official is trying to tell them, which is that if you want, you can do it yourself.

But at the beginning, the players were still too green. Those who didn't have something would directly ask the official for it. If one person's voice was not loud enough, they would form gangs. As a result, the official had to hold the first formal guild war event, and even held a second one.

Now that mature players have realized that they can do it on their own, they will have to fight the third guild war on their own.

Ship battles were the third guild battle mode chosen by most guilds after voting and discussion, and the one who made this impulsive decision was undoubtedly the ship show of [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

To be honest, players have been looking forward to whether [Hermes's Travel Cap] will have any action in this third guild war, such as a [Shipbuilding Event] or something like that.

They have always jokingly called [Hermes' Travel Cap] the official incarnation, which is specifically designed to bring together players from different camps to complete various challenges.

In fact, this is true. They are really good at activities but not at organization.

Not to mention that ocean maps are really boring. Although I know there must be many interesting things in the deep, the process of finding them is too boring.

The players are like unsatisfied, cold and arrogant people, lying there hoping that the authorities can work harder. If the authorities take action first, they will instantly turn around and squeeze out all the official content.

It’s just that… the Eternal Kingdom has really left many players scratching their heads.

The reason is simple. They can be described as a group of scattered sand, each acting on their own. But the Eternal Kingdom is like a breeding ground for poison, and the players inside may betray each other at any time and anywhere.

Not to mention that most of the players in the Eternal Kingdom were lone wolves and had not participated in two consecutive guild wars. So far, the Eternal Kingdom was the only territory where no guilds had been established.

This time the Eternal Kingdom held a guild war rehearsal. Does it mean that the first guild formed by NPCs is about to appear?

If so, it would be quite interesting. There are quite a few players in the Knight Ranking of the Eternal Kingdom. If they were all gathered together, their number would exceed that of the [Fairy Alliance] and [Freemasonry] during the Second Guild War.

Many guilds were eager to join the fight, but small-scale skirmishes were pointless, so a large-scale battle was the better option. Furthermore, this battle was taking place at sea, raising the possibility of unexpected events.

When Dali Feizhuan saw that Kate Cat's body was covered with various peregrine falcons, he knew what it meant. The alliance invitations from various guilds had arrived.

It's not just Kate the cat. Many people with a wide circle of friends have messenger birds all over their bodies. Because there are so many types of birds, the peregrine falcons, which are carnivores, have begun to attack other birds like they are having a buffet.

Seeing that a killing feast was about to begin on Kate Cat, Dali Feizhuan immediately took out a bunch of sea fish, and the communication birds were immediately attracted to his side.

Who wants to eat sparrows and pigeons when there are fat sea fish?

He also learned this from Blaze and discovered that feeding the communication bird can increase the communication bird's favorability. When the favorability is high, the communication bird will pick up some small things as gifts on the way while delivering letters.

"Ahem, this year's guild war looks like it's going to be very lively." Kate Cat spit out one or two feathers. Although her face was a mess, she was very happy.

"I don't think so. It's obvious that the Fairy Minister intends to use the players in the Knight Ranking to form a sea army to encircle Greenland and his men and seize the Fountain of Youth. Oh, now it seems to be the source of the Fountain of Youth."

"Then why didn't Greenland come to us for help?" Kate scratched her ears in pain. "I became the big sister just to vent my anger for my younger brothers."

"Sister, are you some kind of dedicated underworld boss?"

"No." Kate Cat corrected seriously, "It's the good wife type of woman behind the scenes, and you are going to be a gangster boss who will vent his anger on his younger brothers."

"How can I, a good man with a good family background, become a gangster boss?"

"If you are from the white side, doing this kind of thing will easily give you a handle, or you will be called a protective umbrella. You will understand these things when you grow up a little bit."

"You, didn't you say yesterday that I have grown up? You even said that I have grown very big."

“Hey! You two shouldn’t do this at a time like this! Ahhhh——”

A scream was heard, and a powerful player exploded into a huge heart under the attack of the monster, becoming the background board of Dali Feizhuan and Kate Cat.

This is the reward for the second guild war champion, a customized death effect.

"Oh, that's right." The two men reacted, picked up their weapons and quickly returned to the battle.

[Fairy Kingdom] The other side of the battle line.

They are tackling an extremely difficult world-class mission, but once it is completed, the ocean world will be unobstructed and a large number of ships will be able to shuttle freely.

"Give them a surprise then!"

Chapter 1173 The Sword in the Stone

A woman's hysterical screams lingered between the cold thrones.

"Fuck you Merlin!!!"

Morgan grasped the hilt of a sword and exerted great force, stepping his bare feet on the cold pedestal. He leaned back with his waist arched and his face flushed red, like a noble lady going to the countryside to pull radishes for the first time.

But no matter how hard Morgan tried, the sword inserted in the pedestal did not move at all.
