Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 637 The Deceased, the Former

Although the progress on the side of Wangdao and Duohuohuntun can be considered relatively smooth.

But Rogge still has a lot to do.

Aside from matters within Candlefire Island such as the Burning Contest and Sea Wine Grass, there is also the important task of opening the Primal Flame Scar dungeon.

As the saying goes, "One step ahead leads to another."

Candlelight Island has already accumulated many advantages, so it should make persistent efforts to continue exploring these areas with high-level power.

As for the Primal Flame Scar instance...

Roger couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

Having already explored the "Radiant Land," he naturally prepared to begin anchoring.

However, the feedback obtained from the spirit candles indicates that this is not yet possible.

This means that it can still be done in the future, but not now.

This was somewhat disappointing, as Rogue had been hoping this place would bring him a different kind of anchoring reward.

After all, at this stage, the anchoring rewards given by some ordinary areas are no longer of much use, and some incomplete areas don't give anchoring rewards at all.

Of course, this is also related to the significant increase in the power level of the spirit candle.

"Let's activate the Primal Flame Scar area first..."

"Anyway, once the war starts, these players probably won't miss it..."

After some thought, Roger made his decision.

At that time, at Jebian's request, the evil god did indeed send down his "gaze," but the evil god was actually not strong.

This so-called gaze can essentially be understood as a worker bee that has left the hive, instinctively fleeing towards the source of the power after sensing a great threat from the power of the candle.

As for the direction of escape... that's naturally where it all began.

Therefore, as long as the power of the spirit candle does not extinguish it, it will provide a path, and after a period of quiet waiting, the candle flame can trace its coordinates...

Thoughts were racing.

Rogge has once again activated the power of Spiritfire Harbor, and soon, the area where a deceased Flame resided was anchored by a giant anchor, constructing a stable "bridge"...

……

While Rogue anchored in the new Primal Flame Scar region, many other things were also happening simultaneously on Candlewood Island.

"Here you go, thank you."

After handing the scepter to the man in front of him for two and a half years, Yuanfang nodded and smiled slightly.

"Oh, you're too kind, great master from afar. I only got into this game because of your guide, otherwise I would have suffered a lot in the early stages."

After receiving the philosophical scepter, Da Hui responded with some excitement.

The person in front of me is from afar, the number one player in the Spirit Candle faction, the kind with the highest level of skill!
"So you're playing the 'hard-on-hard' style now?" Wu Liao couldn't help but complain from the side.

"..." Da Hui's expression froze for a moment, and he scratched his head awkwardly: "It's not that my skills are not good enough. Do you think I don't want to play high-difficulty styles like the masters in the distance?"

"Indeed, whether or not a strategy guide for his dangerous, high-risk gameplay is released, it makes no difference."

The storyteller standing to the side couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, Boss Yuanfang, does this scepter have any special storyline in the Primordial Flame Scar dungeon?"

At this point, Da Hui couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

He lent out the philosophical scepter because he lacked the strength to explore the "glorious earth."

However, if the Philosopher's Scepter can truly evaluate matters related to God, then the information it may reveal would be a major event for the entire Candlelight Island and the player community.

It would be best if we could get it immediately. Fortunately, Da Hui wasn't possessive of his food and readily lent it to them.

"Yes, and quite a lot of it, much of which is quite important and even reveals some hidden information."

Yuanfang nodded, a serious look in his eyes.

"What is certain is that this scepter belongs to a very high level, capable of evaluating beings at the level of the Torchbearer."

"However, the previous issues are also ones we must take seriously."

The so-called previous problem was, of course, "the possible lies".

Previously, in the [Living Sacrifice Ceremony] instance, the Philosopher's Scepter had already shown its unreliability regarding the matters concerning the Praying Ratmen and "The Last Glow of All Things." (See Chapter 603 for details)
After all, its so-called "mother of all things" does continue to respond, but the philosophical scepter offers a contradictory assessment.

This naturally indicates that there is a problem on one side, and most players are more inclined to believe that the Philosopher's Scepter is lying.

This aspect of lying naturally concerns "God".

And "illuminating all living beings" is undoubtedly the torchbearer.

"It shouldn't be taken entirely at face value, but it can be used as a reference and further research can be conducted." The storyteller's view was rather optimistic.

If they can find the patterns in the philosophical scepter, they will ultimately benefit from it.

Yuanfang nodded in response, and then recounted his various evaluations of the Philosopher's Scepter after his re-entry into the Radiant Earth.

The first to be evaluated is Waba, the winged scholar that players encounter at the beginning of the game in the Ruins of Radiance.

"Under divine radiance, the ants put up a negligible resistance."

This is the Philosopher's Scepter's assessment of Waba and his story, as well as its assessment of many other winged people and events.

It didn't sound sarcastic; more often than not, it seemed to be simply stating a fact, and it didn't seem to care.

He was even more interested in distant places than in the winged people and events within the original Flame Scar dungeon.

Some of the words contained hidden meanings that made people in the distance ponder.

"Borrowing things is probably just a polite excuse."

This was Yuanfang's assessment when he first took it from Da Hui.

"The azure candlelight... it holds a secret I cannot speak of... no, no, even this cannot be uttered..."

This is the evaluation given from afar via a spirit candle.

"Welcoming guests with kindness is the proper etiquette, but the world today should apologize to you."

This is an evaluation made during the journey into the Primal Flame Scar instance.

"A familiar aura... Ah, it's the aura of someone I've lost, no, perhaps it should be called someone who's already gone..."

This is the first sentence of the Philosopher's Scepter after entering the glorious land.

Next, the Philosopher's Scepter made several comments about Yuanfang himself, but not many of them contained any significant information.

Then it's about Carlos.

"The divine light did not seduce you; a coincidence orchestrated by fate allowed you to glimpse the truth, but the price was that your body in the shadows was somewhat bewildered..."

"Pfft!" The storyteller next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud halfway through the story.

Da Hui and Wu Liao also felt somewhat strained.

I'm completely baffled... Is this an allusion to Carlos's head separating from his body?
How did this damned scepter end up being used in a hellish joke?

Despite the laughter, the storyteller quickly composed himself and focused his attention on the other comments made by the Philosopher's Scepter.
