Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 262 The Time for Rekindling is Coming

"What the above person said is right. This female firewood collector named Sekasi is extremely powerful and her purpose is very clear. Her purpose of saving Xiao Ming must not be that simple. (pushes glasses)"

"Could it be because Xiao Ming is handsome?"

"Humor, brother, you are the poster's smurf, right?"

"It is better to believe that I am Qin Shi Huang."

"I feel that the reason why she did this is probably because the 'collecting firewood from the altar' mentioned by Sekasi is a gesture of goodwill to our Lingzhu. (Thinking)"

"That makes sense."

"But what does this altar firewood collection have to do with firewood collectors? Why do they have to deliberately add the word altar in front of it?"

"I don't know. The idiot planner hid the background too deeply. (Spreading hands)"

"And the words I brought to the candle... What does 'the time to rekindle is coming' mean? What does 'the essence of fire is burning' mean? (scratching head in confusion)"

"It's so confusing. I'm totally confused."

"Hmm... the first sentence should be a hint that something big is about to happen in the Lingzhu World, right? I don't quite understand the second sentence..."

"That makes sense! Looking forward to the big event!"

"I don't care about this or that. I'll jump when there's a plot, and I'll cut when the health bar is measured! (Sunglasses)"

"Hey, why is the head upstairs so pointy?"

"Then let me ask you!"

"..."

Players who are more interested in the background story of Lingzhu analyzed and discussed the dynamic plot that Xiao Ming encountered this time, and focused most of their attention on Sekasi and the "picking up firewood from the altar" he described.

After all, the Sekasi met this time was different from the firewood gatherers met before. Not only was she powerful, she also accurately stated that she was from the "Fire Temple".

But unfortunately, she did not reveal more information to Zhang Ming.

In addition to the matter of Sekasi, some people also turned their attention to Zero Island itself and expressed their opinions.

"I give up. I thought that the Zero Island plague was caused by Yinlar earlier. I didn't expect that this guy was strictly speaking a victim. (Confused)"

"You are too naive, buddy. The whole island was infected, but only one kid was left unscathed. How is that possible? Only Xiao Ming would believe it. (Picking nose)"

"It seems that Sekasi sensed something was wrong from the beginning or simply knew the truth."

"The naughty kid killed people."

"All the Zeros on this island were killed by a few children. In the end, not a single one was left alive."

"Well, although that's true, the child named Yantong is actually quite miserable. The entire Zero Island is a complete tragedy."

"That's not necessarily true. If Xiao Ming and Sekasi hadn't gone, maybe Chief Yinlar would have ascended directly and become the only survivor."

"Defying the will of heaven, and ascending to heaven. Look at what Sekasi said, 'sick feast'! Does this sound like a good word? And the blood oath dropped by the man in white robes, do you think he will really get what he deserves? (rolling eyes)"

"I don't know if there's any good juice, but there must be pus to eat."

"vomit."

"All in all, it's another tragedy..."

"…Based on the background of Lingzhu's world, there is no telling how many tragedies there are outside the dark borders. It's miserable just to think about it. (Sigh)"

"So, how should we candle people save the world? Give us some precise answers, you dog planner! (Angry)(Angry)(Angry)"

……

How to save the world?

good question.

As a part-time planner, I also want to know the exact answer...

After reading the discussion among the players in the forum, Rogge silently withdrew his gaze.

When Zhang Ming was suddenly involved in the accident on Zero Island, Rogge had been watching him.

And if Rogge is willing to consume a large amount of wax oil, he can naturally enter Zero Island.

But Sekasi, or the "firewood gathering at the altar" she represented, made Rogge choose to act cautiously, and even after he learned the whereabouts of the Broken Core, he chose to sit back and wait and see.

Because, strictly speaking, Roger could feel that the firewood gatherer Sekasi was different from firewood gatherers like Ryan and Claymore.

This is true both in terms of atmosphere and in reality.

And Sekasi, or the altar pickers represented by him, seemed to be aware of this.

Moreover, as the players have discussed, giving the Broken Core directly to Rogue's side can undoubtedly be seen as a gesture of goodwill towards Lingzhu.

But Rogge had no idea about what Sekasi asked Zhang Ming to bring back.

"The time to rekindle will come..."

"The essence of fire is burning..."

Nonia recited these two sentences, closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, then looked at Rogge.

"Lord Roger, although I am not clear about the so-called rekindling time, I may be able to explain the following sentence."

Hearing this, Roger's eyes lit up and he motioned for her to continue.

"In my memory of studying with the Gray Mother, the first words she taught us were... the essence of the fire of life is burning... to illuminate and warm."

"She asked us to remember this sentence for our whole lives and regard it as the code of the fire witches..."

Nonia said seriously.

After hearing what Nonia said, Roger's frown relaxed a little.

So... the meaning of bringing this sentence to yourself while picking up firewood from the altar is to remind yourself not to forget "illumination" and "warmth"?
No.

Roger quickly shook his head in his heart.

It is true that Nonia is a fire witch, but that was in the past.

Judging from what Nonia said about "being taken away" when she recovered her memory after falling asleep, something must have happened in the Fire Temple.

So in this case, can "burning" still symbolize "illumination" and "warmth"?

…It’s hard to say.

All in all, the so-called attitude of picking up firewood from the altar is still debatable and cannot be fully trusted.

Thinking of this, Roger rubbed his brows and smiled at Nonia: "Thank you for your help."

Nonia shook her head slightly, indicating that it was nothing.

Roger exhaled.

This matter can be put aside for now, but it is certainly not the end, but rather a symbol of a beginning...

correct.

Roger suddenly remembered two things.

The little guy Xiaoluo has been out having fun for a while and didn't come to find him.

And...there is also Letalie.

Thinking of this, Rogge's body quickly dissipated and returned to the Lingzhu space, and his sight gradually covered the entire Zhuxin Island...

……

"Purple fur, purple fur, let me tell you, these weird creatures are really interesting. I'll take you to see them..."

Little Snail made a new friend, who was floating beside her and chattering about his discoveries during this period.

Hearing Xiaoluo addressing her, Letalie couldn't help but glance at her arm, then corrected herself: "Xiaoluo, my name is not Zimaomao, my name is Letalie..."

"But Zimaomao is easy to pronounce. You can also call me Fenluoluo." A happy smile appeared on Xiaoluo's face.

Ever since Roger encouraged her to go out and play, she has been able to discover different fun things every day, which is much more interesting than sitting in her snail shell and blowing bubbles all day.

"..."

After hearing what Xiaoluo said, Letali felt a little helpless... Never mind, she can yell as she pleases. Rogge let her stay here for the time being and did not restrict her from leaving.

Naturally, Letalie had no plans to leave in the short term. After all, the terrifying Extinction Pursuer must still be eyeing her and waiting for her to appear. Staying here was the safest choice.

And what she has to do now is... observe the situation on Zhuxin Island.

If the Spirit Candle and its warriors really would not pose any threat to the prosperity of the Years...Letali would naturally be willing to take the Candle Keeper back to her hometown...even if it means paying some price.

However, judging from recent observations... well, how should I put it...

The candle keeper looks wise and calm.

But the warriors of Lingzhu...

"Yo! Yo! You walking towards me makes me so excited~"

"oi!"

"Are you ready to go to jail?"

"Ready at all the time!"

"Walk."

Night is the peak time for players to log in. During this time period, it is not difficult to see many players emerging from the milestone spirit candles. Some players began their prison life for the day after exchanging secret codes with their partners.

"..."

Letalie didn't understand at all. She shook her ears and looked confused.

"Yang Fan, set sail!"

At Lingzhu Port, a new player has just obtained the Linghuo Raft and is pointing his sword towards the sea, full of high spirits.

"Qi Ni Ni, don't call me by my real name. I don't want to use my real name to go online!"

"Also, where did you get the sail for this lousy raft? You're crazy."

The players next to him complained wildly.

Their relationship seems to be... quite harmonious?
Letalee scratched her head and looked the other way.

"The fire is on sale! The Law Knights' fire is on sale now. Not 998, not 888, only 58! There is also a Gular Empire triangular gift package. It's even cheaper if you buy in bulk. You won't lose anything if you buy it!"

"Is your fire kept hot?"

"You're looking for trouble, aren't you?"

"..."

Stalls were set up again on the lower level of Zhuxin Island. Some stall owners shouted passionately at the top of their lungs, but there were also passionate scenes where sellers and buyers drew their swords over a disagreement.

It’s a bit scary… Letalie shuddered and turned to look elsewhere.

"Aha, look what I caught?"

"Wild rotten shoes and seaweed. Oh my goodness, what a lucky day."

"Is this the reward from the sea for a loyal fisherman like me? How generous!"

“Hahahahahahahaha…Ah!!!”

"Labour!"

"Aww!"

The fisherman, who had been sitting for a long time and had only caught a rotten leather shoe, suddenly burst into laughter and lost his temper. He took a bite of the rotten leather shoe and tore it madly with a hideous look on his face.

Damn, a rotten leather shoe dares to bite my hook!
I'll bite you to death!

However, when the player noticed Letalie and the little snail beside her, he suddenly stopped.

Then, his expression quickly calmed down, and he calmly threw away the worn leather shoes with teeth marks on them, and looked at them with a bright smile.

"Hey, hello, how can I help you? I'm happy to help!"

Fishing? Nothing!
It's obvious that this NPC is going to give me a task!

Looking at his expectant eyes.

"..."

Seeing this, Letalie was startled and quickly looked away and closed her mouth.

That look is so scary.

He won't come and hit me, right?
"Hehehe..." In response, the little snail lay on her shell and laughed. She could find some different fun in these strange creatures every day.

The weird guys are really funny and entertaining.

"...No, Xiaoluo doesn't need your help right now. Thank you."

After Xiaoluo finished laughing, he responded to the player openly.

Hearing this, the fisherman was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and looked at Letalie next to him with hope.

"What about Miss Letalee? Please feel free to help me if you need any help!"

"Neither did she."

"Well, if there's anything you need my help with, be sure to come find me."

"Well, great!"

"Oh, how cute~"

"..."

Letalie watched in amazement as the player was easily defeated by Xiaoluo.

To be honest, seeing how furious the soldier looked just now, Letalie wouldn't be surprised at all even if he suddenly rushed over to kill her the next second.

But unexpectedly, he asked me enthusiastically if I needed help.
So weird.

Xiaoluo was right to call them “weird guys”…

After leaving the place where Xiaoluo was just now and coming to a place with fewer players, Letali looked at Xiaoluo and asked in a low voice:
"Xiaoluo, these warriors...are they very respectful to the Candle Keeper?"

Although Xiaoluo should also be from Zhuxin Island, Letalie feels that the innocence and liveliness Xiaoluo displays cannot be faked.

However, Letalie was not stupid enough to ask some sensitive questions directly, but chose to ask indirectly.

"Respect?" Xiao Luo thought for a moment, then laughed again, "No, these weird guys often scold him behind his back!"

"what?"

Now Letalie was a little puzzled.

Looking at the situation of these warriors, she thought they were controlled by the Candle Keeper or the Spirit Candle, which was why the player just now behaved strangely.

But now it seems that they actually dare to scold the Candle Keeper?
This doesn't seem... loyal at all!
"…Why? Is it because the Spirit Candle and the Candle Keeper treat them badly?"

Letalie asked quickly.

"Not bad for them... I don't think so." Xiao Luo blinked and recalled: "They seem to like to scold him when they are in a bad mood, um... they also scold Lingzhu, and scold everything!"

Xiao Luo remembered the group of strange guys holding magic wands that he saw when he went to the Jinghai Islands before.

"Still scolding Lingzhu?!"

When Letalie heard this, her pupils shrank and she even felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.

If she had suspected just now that these warriors might be controlled, she had now completely dispelled that idea.

the reason is simple.

That is, in all her years, she had never cursed the sacred tree, and she had never even had any disrespectful thoughts towards it.

After all, it was a great existence that protected them.

During the time on Zhuxin Island, Letali could easily guess that the importance of the spiritual candle to this group of warriors was not only no less than that of the sacred tree to the prosperity of the years, but might even be greater.

But these warriors... actually dared to insult the spirit candles and the candle keepers?
This is simply appalling!
