Of course, that's what they say, but poisoning the water is really something you can't do. Most of the underground rivers in the Gobi Desert are interconnected, and poisoning your own people might actually happen.
However, every coin has two sides.
This also means that the Ajax people would not use poisoning as a tactic against Twin Flag City. Otherwise, with high-ranking informants within the city, poisoning the more than one hundred deep wells in the city would not have been difficult for them.
" Alexander, if it weren't for this war, perhaps we could still be friends." Fairenton away the exquisite carpet, all his emotions surging.
"That's really pointless, because war has already broken out, and I never make assumptions that are impossible." Sun Fei remained noncommittal, then thought for a moment and said, "But you're quite an interesting person. If you want to be my friend, then go back and persuade Emperor Chivu to cease hostilities, and everything will be fine."
"That's impossible," Fairenton head, a hint of helplessness on his face, then tried to say, "However, I must advise you, why don't you submit to Ajax? If you just agree, I think Emperor Chivu would be willing to bestow upon you even the title and Glory of an Imperial Prince. At that time, you would be second only to the Emperor, King of Chambord could be spared the ravages of war, and we could become friends."
Sun Fei shook his head.
At this moment, he recalled the image of that thin, serene figure on Martial Saint Mountain in the capital city, which turned into ashes and scattered across the Zenit territory in the early hours of the morning. This image had appeared in Sun Fei's dreams countless nights and had been deeply imprinted in His Majesty the King's soul.
"In my entire life, even in the most perilous and desperate situation, I will never serve the Ajax. Therefore, we can only ever be enemies. You'd better refrain from saying things like that, otherwise, I'm afraid I might really lose my temper and kill you."
After Sun Fei finished speaking, he looked coldly at Prince Ajikexi.
Fairenton startled.
He could clearly sense that King of Chambord was extremely serious when he said those words, more serious than when he had ever said anything before. It was as if his sore spot had been touched, and if he were to try to persuade him to submit to Ajax again, he would really kill him.
"I once promised a friend that I would protect the land where his ashes were scattered for the rest of my life, and if anyone wanted to turn this land into a battlefield, they should be prepared to shed their blood."
As Sun Fei said this, he suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit.
It was as if all worries and difficulties vanished in an instant. Reaching out my hands, I could grasp everything; nothing could defeat me.
"I think we're both crazy for sitting here and talking so much nonsense. Well, let me just say a couple more things. First, since we're both in trouble, let's make an agreement: for the next three days, we won't attack each other. You go and prepare your supplies, and I'll train my soldiers. How about that?"
Fairenton thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, what about the second sentence?"
Sun Fei laughed and said, "Since you agreed to the first point, the second point is easy to discuss. If you don't do anything too outrageous to anger me, then I can still spare your life the next time we meet!"
After saying that, Sun Fei switched to [ Assassin Mode ].
With a flash, he transformed into a wisp of faint blue smoke and disappeared into the vast desert.
Fairenton looked in the direction where Sun Fei had disappeared, his lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he shook his head, sighed softly, and then flew towards the Ajax army camp.
When Sun Fei returned to Twin Flag City, the Ajax army Barracks in the distance had already quieted down again.
"Ignore them. Order the soldiers to rest as much as possible. They can be deployed for patrols tomorrow." After dismissing Shevchenko and Ribery, who had rushed in to ask for instructions, Sun Fei instructed the Four Guards: "I need to rest quietly for a few hours. You guard the main hall of the watchtower and do not allow anyone to enter."
"Yes." The four guardian deities withdrew from the main hall of the watchtower and stood guard at the entrance.
Sun Fei used [ Assassin Mode ] to set up some trigger-based, non-violent magical traps in the hall to prevent anyone from recklessly breaking in. Then he switched to [ Barbarian Mode ], Summon Teleport with a thought, and entered the world of Diablo.
Sun Fei needs to improve his skills as soon as possible.
It was noon in the Diablo World, and the sky was still shrouded in dark clouds, with a light drizzle falling.
Sun Fei didn't enter [ Rogue Encampment ], but instead went directly to find Elena, the beautiful mercenary who had returned to the Diablo World. The two of them used Teleport to reach [ Harrogath City ], the fifth act's world map, and accepted the third quest, [ Prison of Ice ]. Then, they used another Teleport in Harrogath City to travel to the quest location, [ The Glacial Trail's Frozen River ].
The mission is to find and rescue a young alchemist named Anya, whose disappearance is suspected to be related to Nihlathak, the last elder of Harrogath City.
"The passage here is very narrow, so be careful, or you could easily get trapped by the demons." After entering the [ Glacial Trail ], Sun Fei Summon [ Tribal Guardian ] and [ Mythical Sword ] and walked ahead, gently instructing Elena who was following closely behind.
Elena nodded.
The Glacial Trail Glacial Trail is a dried-up underground riverbed, extremely cold, with frost and ice crystals covering the rock walls, resembling endless crystals adhered to the walls, hence its name.
The place was dimly lit and chillingly cold, with winding passages like an endless maze, teeming with terrifying monsters. These monsters were all high-level demons with formidable attack and defense capabilities, posing a significant threat to Sun Fei and Elena.
Of course, in Sun Fei's eyes, these monsters were just a bunch of experience points.
In the real world, Sun Fei faces considerable challenges. Only by continuously improving his strength can he protect what he wants to protect and the people he cherishes. This is why Sun Fei has recently abandoned other professions and focused on the Barbarian character. Sun Fei is only eleven levels away from reaching the maximum level of 99 in [ Normal Difficulty ]. If he is not mistaken, after defeating [ Normal Difficulty ], the Barbarian character's strength should be able to advance to the ranks of Moon Class powerhouses.
The Glacial Trail is dark, winding, and seems to have no end.
Sun Fei and Elena fought off the charging demons while searching for traces left by the alchemist Anya.
The road was littered with bloodstains and various skeletons, and there were even some Barbarian Warrior who had been tortured to death by being tied to wooden stakes. It was a gruesome sight, and the smell of death and decay permeated the entire space.
Finally, the two found and imprisoned the young female alchemist Anya in an unusually spacious underground cave.
The number of monsters guarding the Demon Cave was terrifying, a dark mass surging towards the two like a tide. Various roars, howls, hisses, and strange cries filled their ears. In order to protect Elena, whose defense was relatively weak, Sun Fei chose to fight and retreat, luring the monsters out of the Demon Cave one by one and eliminating them bit by bit.
"Evil has taken control of Nihlathak, and he has frozen me with magic. You need to return to Harrogath and find the thawing potion from Malah to rescue me," said NPC Anya upon seeing Sun Fei and his companion arrive after defeating the demon.
These are all scenes that appeared in the pre-life brain game.
Anya and the other NPCs in Harrogath City were no different; they remained rigid and inflexible.
Sun Fei had to use a Teleport scroll to find her an antidote and then take her back to the city.
This mission took Sun Fei about two hours. After this battle, Sun Fei's Barbarian character level reached 90, while Elena's Mercenary level was 79 and her Paladin Bloodline was 30, which is quite good.
After completing the [ Prison of Ice ] quest, Sun Fei received two rewards.
The first reward comes from the great NPC Malah in Harrogath City: a precious ancient leather scroll. Using this seemingly insignificant scroll will permanently increase all of your character's Resist by 10%, which is obviously much more convenient and cost-effective than leveling up or improving resistances through equipment.
The second reward is a helmet from Anya, the young and beautiful female alchemist he rescued. It's a very good alchemical item, named after Sun Fei— [ Sun Fei's Helm of Slaughter ].
Sun Fei eagerly observed for a while and found that the helmet's attributes were quite good.
With 100 defense, +2 to all resistances, and a passive [ Frost Nova ] spell with a 50% success rate, durability of 66, and a required level of 88, this is an elite item of level 8. In terms of both quality and attributes, it far surpasses the helmet that Sun Fei is currently wearing.
This is also the first piece of level 8 dark gold elite legendary equipment that Sun Fei has obtained.
The [ Sun Fei's Helm of Slaughter ] has a gorgeous and luxurious appearance, resembling a complete, living god's head, radiating a faint golden yellow. It is also extremely comfortable to wear, almost weightless. It comes with an attached mask made of an unknown material. By pressing a small round button, with a soft 'buzz' sound, the dark, luminous mask can instantly cover the entire face. It is highly breathable, so you won't feel suffocated or have difficulty breathing.
The contrasting colors of gold and dark add a touch of intimidation to the helmet.
