Grand Princess Anna

After entering the Demon Plant Zone, Gu Xi glanced around and, just as Luna had said, the Demon Plant Zone had changed again due to the strange sacrifice and an Apple Tree.

The most eye-catching feature here is undoubtedly the enormous tree root tendrils stuck in the Evilwood Lake at the very center of the Demon Plant Zone.

However, at this moment, the tree root tendrils were already emitting a yellowish-green aura.

Although Gu Xi hadn't come into contact with it yet, he had a feeling that this aura was beneficial to both him and the Aryadovi City.

So he ignored it and sped up to reach the City Gate.

Like the Main City Gate, the Troop Stockade City Gate in front of us is also crowded with a large number of soldiers.

However, their morale doesn't seem high.

When Gu Xi came over, they only looked up at Gu Xi and didn't surround him like the soldiers at the Main City Gate did, asking him Gu Xi sorts of questions.

Gu Xi glanced at them, feeling somewhat displeased.

He opened the City Gate to save these people because he wanted to leverage his connections in Victoria City at the last minute.

Seeing them like this, Gu Xi felt that he had saved them for nothing.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Although he was displeased, Gu Xi still had to put on a show. He jumped off the Evil Coffin and asked earnestly, "Don't worry, I will find a way to contact Victoria and send you there."

"Sir, never mind, there's no need to escort us there."

At this moment, a paladin stood up and spoke.

This paladin was at least level 10, wearing golden armor and a white cloak.

Gu Xi noticed that on his Grade A+, the left shoulder guard was Lion Head, and the right shoulder guard was Eagle Head.

Gu Xi had seen this outfit from afar before; it seemed to belong to Grand Princess Anna guards.

But judging from his current condition, he doesn't seem to have the same radiance as before.

What happened?

Gu Xi asked, looking puzzled.

The paladin Gu Xi way for her and looked back. He saw Grand Princess Anna lying pale-faced at the City Gate. Her chest, which had been pierced, had stopped bleeding, but she was clearly no longer breathing.

"This..."

Gu Xi hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Just then, the paladin patted Gu Xi and said, "Thank you for giving us the last time to spend with the Grand Princess. That is enough. Please open the City Gate and send us back to Westminster Abbey. We hope to fight for our lord one more time."

As he said this, the other soldiers also stood up, picked up their weapons, and looked at Gu Xi with serious expressions.

Seeing their expressions, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Westminster Abbey may not even still exist now."

At this point, Gu Xi suddenly remembered something, "By the way, did you see that tree root?"

Gu Xi pointed towards Evilwood Lake, "Those are the roots I felled; they're from the same tree as the eerie Apple Tree near Westminster Abbey."

Upon hearing this, the paladin reached out and grabbed Gu Xi's clothes. "What do you mean by this?"

"What I wanted to say was that perhaps you have a better place to go than Westminster Abbey, but it's a bit more dangerous there, and you might not come back if you go."

"We were originally planning to make one last stand for the Grand Princess. What's so scary about dying?"

The paladin released his grip, and Gu Xi quickly took two steps back.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, this is the Mirror Dungeon, the city that James I sacrificed. The Great Lord sealed Mirror Dungeon has been searching for an opportunity to break the seal."

Leaving the city from here and heading into the mist, you can find the origin of Apple Village Root, which is the mirrored Westminster Abbey.

The mastermind behind this plot against Westminster Abbey is there.

Hearing Gu Xi's words, the paladin did not speak, but silently pondered the truthfulness of Gu Xi's words.

"I don't remember there being any Princess's Forest before Victoria City."

"Try planting an Apple Tree this big at home, and your house will turn into Princess's Forest, the biggest kind of rainforest."

Gu Xi pointed in the direction of the City Gate, "I've shown you the way. Whether you want to try and die or stay here to guard the Grand Princess's body, it's up to you."

Of course, if you want to go back to Victoria City, I can take you back.

But once you go back, you might never come back.

The paladin thought for a moment, then turned to look at a White Robe priest beside him.

The priest took out a thick-covered book and said very seriously to the paladin, "What he just said was true."

The paladin then turned to look at his other comrades.

They all gripped their weapons with smiles on their faces.

"Okay, let's get ready to go."

The paladin then said to Gu Xi, "Please send Grand Princess Anna's body back to Victoria City. Do not turn her into an undead until she agrees, or you will become Britain's mortal enemy."

After saying this, the paladin walked up to Grand Princess Anna and knelt down on one knee.

"Grand Princess, I will die on the charge. If you can rise again, I will await your call in the Netherworld."

After saying this, he picked up his weapon and headed towards the City Gate.

Then another knight did the same thing.

Seeing them kneel down and swear oaths beside Grand Princess Anna, Gu Xi was somewhat moved.

At this moment, the priest walked up to Gu Xi and said, "Send Grand Princess Anna out the same way she came in. No coffin or any other treatment is needed."

After the priest finished speaking, he also carried his thick-covered book and walked out of the City Gate.

Gu Xi had been observing the ceremony from the sidelines. Only after all the knights had City Gate did Gu Xi approach Grand Princess Anna.

Grand Princess Anna looked as if she were asleep, but her face was somewhat pale.

In her hand was a small, unidentified flower that she had picked from who-knows-where.

After looking at Grand Princess Anna for a moment, Gu Xi still hadn't decided whether to send her back to Victoria City.

Gu Xi wasn't too worried about sending the body back.

His concern was that if they sent the body back here and the instance restarted, another Grand Princess Anna would appear, which would be hilarious.

He could be killed by the Britain Royal Family.

But Gu Xi still hesitated somewhat, watching the paladin's retreating figure disappear into the mist, before deciding not to send him back.

This was the last wish of these soldiers before their deaths, Gu Xi had no reason not to fulfill it.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi straightened up.

"Luna, take the body with you. We're heading to Victoria City."
