Main Volume Chapter 58 Legendary Mission: Princess Alliance
After careful consideration, Zhang Yun decided to tell Lucina that he was Zhang Yun, but he would not tell her any deeper details.
In fact, Zhang Yun couldn’t say it. He couldn’t possibly say that he came from a game, right?
"Sure enough... I can't hide it from you. Tell me, why do you want to confirm my identity?" Zhang Yun sighed deliberately. "You can obviously pretend that you didn't recognize me and let us leave. Why did you insist on asking? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you because of this question?"
After confirming Zhang Yun's identity, Lucina completely relaxed and replied, "I know you won't. A person's words may be false, but his actions and the details he reveals will never betray his true feelings!"
"Just now you could have escaped on my blue-feathered bird, but you resolutely faced that monster and exposed your own strength... So I believe that you are an upright person and I can trust you!"
Zhang Yun remained silent: "..."
Lucina continued to ask: "Are you the inheritor?"
Um?
Successor?
Zhang Yun was puzzled. What was the question? Was there also inheritance in this world?
Seeing Zhang Yun was a little confused, Lucina paused and asked in confusion: "You don't know about inheritance?"
Zhang Yun shook her head slightly: "I don't know, my uncle never told me, what is that thing?"
Yes!
I have no idea!
Because I’m just a guy from a small village in the East!
Hahaha!
This cover-up excuse is so used over and over again...
Lucina pondered for a moment, then recalled what Zhang Yun said on the boat. She immediately responded and explained, "Indeed, the inheritance has disappeared for thousands of years, and many records and documents have been damaged. If it weren't for the ancient books and the inherited sacred artifacts that our king has treasured, I wouldn't know about this."
"But just because people don't know about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist... You also saw that the behemoth that the guy just sacrificed himself to summon was the ancient evil god from thousands of years ago."
"With such powerful beings, ordinary professionals simply cannot be their opponents. Only the inheritors can fight against them..."
Then, Lucina slowly recounted the contents of the ancient book, allowing Zhang Yun to roughly understand the world's definition of "inheritance".
Thousands of years ago, this world was ruled by ancient evil gods like Batya, and those who experienced it called it the "Dark Age."
At that time, humans and other intelligent races were all slaves of the ancient evil god, or in other words, captive ants who could be killed and abused at will, with no human rights at all.
And for his own evil taste, the ancient evil god made all the intelligent races at that time do all kinds of inhuman things. Sometimes he would even sacrifice the people of an entire country, just to experiment with a newly developed forbidden magic to see how powerful it was.
In addition, the ancient evil gods are not a unified force. There are conflicts and factions among them, so they often go to war with each other, causing the humans who serve as their servants to kill each other. They also often appear in person to slaughter humans and other intelligent races.
This kind of life lasted for a long time. All intelligent races wanted to resist, but because the gap in combat power between the two sides was too great, they never did so and could only swallow their anger in their hearts.
finally.
One day.
An unknown existence who claims to be a god suddenly brings down a miracle, and brings some powerful power to the world through a "miracle", and tells all intelligent creatures to seize this power called "inheritance", become the inheritors, and then resist the rule of the ancient evil god.
At first, no one believed it, but when the first inheritor who accidentally obtained the inherited power appeared, all intelligent creatures believed it and immediately sent people to find the "inheritance" lost in the human world.
At this time, the Ancient Evil God was still unaware of the situation. He just thought that these fragile ants were bored, so he didn't pay much attention to them, let alone try to stop them.
Soon, the best among humans and the strong of other races found the inheritance, and became inheritors one after another, gaining the power to fight against the Ancient Evil God.
They began to resist, to form alliances, and to gather the strength of all "ants" to kill the ancient evil gods who still ignored them one after another.
At this time, the ancient evil gods realized that the ants were starting to grow stronger, just like newborn cubs growing into majestic tigers. If they didn't unite, they would be eaten one by one by these stronger ants.
As a result, the ancient evil gods also united and began to fight against all the inheritors. The two sides fought for at least several decades...
Having said this, Lucina stopped and looked at Zhang Yun with her light blue eyes, with unspeakable excitement in her eyes.
Zhang Yun asked: "What happens next?"
Lucina shook her head: "I don't know. The lower half of the ancient book was torn off. I don't know who won the war... But judging from the current situation, I think we won and the Ancient Evil God was defeated."
"However, the inheritor and the Ancient Evil God suddenly disappeared after the war. They have not appeared for thousands of years. The historical records about them have also disappeared, and the traces they left behind have also disappeared."
"It's like this never happened..."
"To be honest, when I first read this book, I thought the stories in it were fake. They were all made up by the ancients to deceive us."
"But my father told me that this is true, because our ancestor was an inheritor and left behind some holy relics that only inheritors can use..."
After hearing this, Zhang Yun was stunned and remembered the holy sword that Lucina had used before.
Is this the holy artifact passed down by their ancestors?
Oh shit!
A little curious!
I really want to study it!
Lucina didn't know that Zhang Yun's mind had already flown to her weapon, and continued to talk to herself: "And today, I saw both the huge ancient evil god and you, the inheritor..."
"So now I am convinced that the records in that ancient book are true. There was indeed such a dark era in history, and the Ancient Evil God and the inheritance also really existed!"
After a pause, she looked at Zhang Yun and asked doubtfully: "But, Zhang Yun, you have such a powerful force that you even defeated that ancient evil god."
"I really don't know... Is this a legacy?"
"Not even the slightest idea of what it does?"
Well?
Are you still struggling with this issue?
Didn’t I say that I’m just a country bumpkin from a small mountain village?
Zhang Yun could only explain again: "Yutiel... uh, no, no, it should be Her Highness Lucina..."
"Let me tell you this. I have had this power since I was a child, but my uncle never lets me use it, saying that it would be dangerous to use it indiscriminately, unless it is an emergency like the one just now..."
"This mask was also given to me by my uncle. He said that if I were in danger, I must not use my original identity to use that power. I must wear this magic mask and pretend to be another person before I can summon those summoned creatures to resist..."
"So I really don't know what inheritance you are talking about. And that Ancient Evil God, this is the first time I have seen him..."
At this time, Zhang Yun returned to the state he was in on the boat. He no longer spoke as coldly and arrogantly as before, nor did he keep saying "woman". Instead, he seemed very enthusiastic and honest.
This subtle change, combined with what Zhang Yun said, was actually a smokescreen meant to confuse Lucina's judgment and make her believe her words.
But Lucina took a deep breath and suddenly said, "You're lying to me!"
Zhang Yun: “.”
She lifted her hair, revealing her delicate face, looked at Micot who remained silent, and then looked at Zhang Yun again.
"Zhang Yun, if you have something to hide and can't tell the truth, then don't tell it. I understand that everyone has secrets that cannot be shared, so I won't ask you about it."
"But don't keep using this matter about your uncle to fool me. I'm not stupid. I knew long ago on the boat that you have an extraordinary background. Very extraordinary. You are definitely not someone who came out of a small mountain village, and it is even more impossible that you know nothing!"
"I will tell you something very important next. As the princess of the Kingdom of Alberia, I hope you can respect me and my identity, and stop lying to me with these words that you would only use to deceive children."
"May I?"
Zhang Yun: “…”
Uh, embarrassing, extremely embarrassing.
To be honest, with my acting skills and various details, it will be no problem to deceive most people with this excuse.
Even if the other party has doubts, there is no way to confirm it immediately. They will only keep it in their heart and will never say it directly like Lucina did, believing that it was nonsense to fool her.
As a result, this woman, Lucina, was actually so sure?
From her words, I could tell that she had discovered that the uncle I mentioned was a lie when she was on the boat...
It's just that she didn't want to delve into this matter at the time, and she wasn't interested in me either, so she pretended to believe what I said and didn't expose me...
Now that the Ajid incident has happened, my inherited ability has been revealed, and her identity as a princess has been exposed. We are both like grasshoppers on a rope. If I use this to deceive her again, it is obviously not respectful enough for her identity as a princess, so she pointed this out...
Well, I can only say that this woman's observation ability is really not to be underestimated...
It's not easy to deceive her...
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun sighed, took off the mask, changed back to her own face, and then said in a normal tone: "Okay, I apologize for my rudeness."
"Well, Your Highness, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. I am listening."
Lucina nodded slightly, accepting Zhang Yun's apology, and then said: "You should know the general situation now. An organization called Ajid is causing chaos in my country and summoned an ancient evil god that existed thousands of years ago."
"I don't know their specific purpose yet, but I'm sure it's not a good thing, so I have to stop them!"
Purpose?
So, Princess, don’t you know that you are one of the keys to open the “door”, liberate Ajith, and let them return to the human world?
Well……
It seems so...
Lucina didn't understand the definition of "gate", nor did she know that the ancient evil gods were imprisoned in the ancient battlefield. Based on the half-truths of the human Ajid, it was indeed difficult to imagine that the other party's goal was to "destroy the ancient battlefield and release the ancient evil gods".
OK, I understand, you continue...
Lucina had no idea what was going on in Zhang Yun's mind, nor did she notice Zhang Yun's sudden wandering eyes, because her attention was completely focused on her own memories, and she didn't observe Zhang Yun carefully at all.
So she continued, "The problem is that this group of monsters has completely infiltrated the capital. Not only have they controlled my sick father, they have also instigated many officials in the capital to rebel, and even caused several of my brothers to rebel."
Zhang Yun looked puzzled: "Wait, are you saying that they have taken control of this country?"
Lucina shook her head: "Not yet, but almost. If they want, they can even issue a wanted notice for me."
"It's just that because of my status as a princess, it would be a bit difficult to come up with a reason, and it would easily arouse the suspicion of certain local lords."
"That's why they went to so much trouble to send people to arrest me."
Zhang Yun understood: "That is to say, they have already controlled most of the kingdom. Although there are still some key people who have not been subdued, as long as we don't do anything extreme, we won't attract their attention. Then we can slowly assimilate these people into our own people?"
Lucina nodded and said, "Yes."
Zhang Yun suddenly realized: "No wonder you are hiding here, not going to see the lord here, nor looking for those soldiers..."
Lucina sighed, "I can't help it. The situation is unclear right now. Their infiltration in the local area may be more serious than in the capital. If I go to the army or lord of this place, it is difficult to guarantee whether they still have members lurking among them."
"When the time comes, I will be in their territory, surrounded by enemies and all kinds of traps. There is absolutely no way I can escape."
“Even if all the Ajids in this island city have been wiped out, and the remaining lords and soldiers are normal people, they are likely to obey the false orders from the capital and report my whereabouts to the traitors in the capital, or even follow the orders to capture me back…”
Zhang Yun touched her chin and said, "So, what do you mean?"
Lucina looked directly into Zhang Yun's eyes, lowered her head slightly, and said sincerely: "I hope you can help me deal with these monsters and restore this kingdom to normal..."
“I can’t trust anyone right now.”
"except you."
"Zhang Yun."
After he finished speaking, a system prompt suddenly popped up, indicating a new task.
【New! 】

[Legendary Quest - Princess Alliance]
[Task Introduction: According to Lucina's narration, you have learned part of the truth about this world, and have also figured out Ajid's general goal. Whether for the sake of the people in this world or for yourself, you should help Lucina to stop the conspiracy of Ajid's organization and prevent the ancient evil god sealed in the ancient battlefield from reappearing in the world! ]
[Mission Objective: Help Lucina, establish a princess alliance, fight against the Ajid Organization, and prevent the ancient evil god Ajid from escaping from the ancient battlefield. ]
[Task Reward: To be determined (different rewards will be given according to the degree of completion)]
…
After reading it, Zhang Yun fell into deep thought.
Um?
It turned out to be a legendary mission?
It seems that I made the right choice. The correct option for these two destiny-choosing tasks is to save Lucina and use the price of the first card draw to exchange for the lives of those ordinary people, revealing my identity as the Chosen Summoner.
Only by combining the two can I gain Lucina's complete trust, let her tell me the whole story, and then seek my help to trigger this mission.
so……
Good man rewarded……
This statement does make sense under certain conditions...
