Chapter 232 Rest Island
The two siblings scolded each other every day. Gao Fei had long been used to it. He closed the team channel and asked Jiang Feng, "It's almost 7 o'clock. Are you hungry?"
"The fried chicken we ate in the afternoon and the milk tea we drank haven't been digested yet. How about you?"
"I'm not hungry either. How about we continue playing games?"
"Okay, let's start "Prince's Revenge" and try to finish Chapter 8 today!" Jiang Feng said happily.
Gao Fei nodded, logged into the "Savior Simulator" again, and selected the Berserker module "Prince's Revenge".
After entering the game, Gao Fei found that the ketch he was on boarded successfully arrived at the Isle of Rest, the location of Karl Olaf's royal tomb, after more than a month's voyage.
This island is located in the eastern waters of Asa Bay, covering an area of about 300 square kilometers. Most of the area is covered by yellow sand. The climate is arid, not suitable for farming, and the products are relatively poor.
There are less than a thousand permanent residents on the island, mainly the Asa indigenous people engaged in fishing, as well as some dwarves and halfling craftsmen.
The only unique feature of Xi'an Island is the pyramid group located on the desolate Gobi desert in the middle of the island. There are hundreds of large and small pyramids, which are the tombs of the ancestors of various tribes of the Asa tribe.
Gao Fei didn't know why the Asa people built the pyramid as the tomb of their ancestors, nor why they had to place the tower on this inhospitable island. He guessed that it might be for some religious reason. Ancient traditions.
A few centuries ago, the Asa tribe was the undisputed master of the northern part of the New World. They indeed had sufficient financial resources and manpower to build tall and towering pyramids, and they also had specialized personnel responsible for guarding and maintaining these towers.
However, as times changed, the Asa people's land was increasingly encroached and occupied by colonists from the old world. Coupled with the frequent invasions of frost giants, burning, killing and looting, this ancient aboriginal civilization gradually declined.
To this day, the Asa people on the mainland are struggling to make a living. They have no spare time to build a huge pyramid. Even the guards responsible for guarding the royal tombs on the island are almost gone.
Many towers that have been in disrepair have been reduced to ruins by the erosion of wind and sand. The greater threat comes from adventurers who are eager to get rich overnight.
Most of the existing pyramids on Parthian Island have been visited by tomb robbers. The gold and silver jewelry buried with them have long been looted, and the ruins are left for posterity to pay tribute to.
Today, the only well-preserved pyramid on the island is the tomb of King Olaf.
This is mainly due to the fact that there are many intricate secret passages inside the royal tomb, and there are endless vicious traps. Almost all the adventurers who came to rob the tomb in the past never returned.
Gao Fei and his party came to the island, bearing the name of the direct descendants of "King Olaf" and following the king's last words, they came to take out the sacred ax buried with them and liberate the Olaf tribe that was enslaved by the frost giants.
This makes sense from a legal point of view, but the traps don’t tell you anything about legal principles. Even if Basaka enters the royal tomb as the prince of the Olaf tribe, he still has to break through many traps before he can get the sacred axe.
Thinking about it from another angle, this can also be regarded as a test for future generations by the late king.
If Basaka is trapped in the trap in the tomb passage, it will only prove that he is a useless person. How can he have the dignity to claim to be a descendant of King Olaf?
The sailing ship docked at the port and anchored.
Gao Fei received a system prompt and learned that he could form a teammate in this chapter, so he pulled Jiang Feng's monk over.
Master Su has completed his main plot and has been promoted to level 8 Sun Flame Monk, which is one level higher than Gao Fei's Berserker. He can also gain experience points in Gao Fei's module and continue to upgrade the monk level. Equivalent to a permanent teammate.
In addition to Jiang Feng's monks, this sailing adventure group also has four fixed members: Eve, the level 7 "Earth Druid", Eve's natural partner Mu Ning, and two level 6 "Bear Warriors" Al and Wu. Varied.
Five people and one dog disembarked from the ship and came to the most prosperous dock area on the entire island. They first found a tavern with the most prosperous business and went in to gather information.
Gao Fei ordered a glass of ale for himself and his companion, and paid the bartender two gold coins. He successfully pried open his mouth and obtained two pieces of valuable information.
The first one is bad news.
"Yesterday morning, a large ship entered the port, and a group of frost giants disembarked. The leader called himself General Schroeder. He found a halfling gambler and veteran tomb robber named Laurie in the tavern, and offered to hire him as a guide to explore Tomb of King Olaf."
The bartender looked around and confirmed that there were no frost giants in the tavern, then lowered his voice and continued to reveal to Gao Fei:
"Lowry's condition was to pay off his gambling debts and tavern bills, but General Schroeder claimed that there was no need to spend the unjust money, and also offered to help Lowry kill all his creditors. In this way, he No need to pay off the debt!”
The bartender stuck out his tongue, with fear on his face.
"Since this tavern is still operating normally, it seems that our halfling friends did not accept General Schroeder's suggestion." Goofy said nonchalantly, holding the wine glass.
"Haha! Dear guest, you are so funny!" The bartender laughed dryly and continued, "Poor Laurie was frightened by the savage frost giant. He quickly dissuaded him from messing around and was forced to agree to join him in the tomb robbery. Gang, go with them."
Gao Fei nodded and chatted privately with Jiang Feng through the astrolabe.
"As soon as we arrived on the island, we learned that the frost giants had arrived the day before. This must be a deliberately planned plot. If we procrastinate on the island and waste too much time, the frost giants will rush into the island first. Ling, take away the holy ax."
"In that case, our mission will fail and we have to load the file and start over again?" Jiang Feng asked worriedly.
“It is possible, but I prefer another screenwriting idea: designing two branch routes. One is to obtain the holy ax before the frost giants, and then leave the island as soon as possible to escape the pursuit of the frost giants; the second is to be killed by the frost giants. The frost giant has taken the lead, so our team has to track the frost giant warship, try to sneak into the warship, and regain the holy ax through stealing or robbery," Gao Fei analyzed.
"If that's the case, of course the first route is safer. If there are any complications, it will be troublesome!"
Jiang Feng frowned and continued: "The bartender just mentioned a guy named Schroeder, who should be the key figure in this plot."
"I just checked Basaka's memory. This Schroeder is not easy to mess with. It is said that he is the first of the three most trusted generals of the 'Ice Tower Warlock' Gelmir, a level 12 'Frost Furyer' ”
"Frost rager...sounds like a type of berserker?"
"That's right, although it's not as good as the dragon warrior, it can still be considered a pretty powerful berserker type." Gao Fei said.
