Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 776 The Dormant Lord of Storms

Aside from the matter of Kenara.

Li Miao also received a response from Ryan, who brought some of his treasured weapons, props, and combat skills to express his gratitude.

Li Miao was naturally pleased with this, as Ryan had given him many items that were not available on Candlelight Island, which he could use to exchange for a lot of wax oil with other players.

However, he also advised Ryan not to take this matter too seriously, and that improving his strength and exploring were the most important things.

……

at the same time.

Inside the dark, foul-smelling waterway.

Wang Daozheng, with a ferocious expression, held down the alien corpse, using it to slowly pull his body out of the pulp. The incredibly warm, pulpy texture made his veins bulge.

"Fuck your mother..."

"Really are……"

"That's disgusting!!!"

Wang Dao gritted his teeth, his body covered in bloody pulp, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.

Finally, after much effort, he managed to free his hands and switched places with the undead. Then, with utter disgust, he took off his clothes, intending to wash them in the water nearby.

But the green and yellow hues of the water made him stop, and the stench made him even more afraid.

After his lips twitched for a moment, he could only take a deep breath, put his clothes back on, and suppress his discomfort.

After glancing at the rotting corpse and the dark cave waterway, Wang Dao's expression turned grim.

'Corruption again... So the Lord of Storms was secretly up to these things behind the scenes. It seems He isn't entirely subservient to the Fallen Twilight...'

Wang Dao narrowed his eyes.

Previously, dissatisfied with being stuck in the Twilight Ark, he received orders from the Gods to infiltrate a deep part of Redwell to investigate the situation there.

Wang Dao also knew something about [Red Welgh]... Although he didn't know at first, he could ask the storyteller after he logged off.

This is the holy site of the Church of Storms.

Their Candlefire Island had directly crushed the enemy in the battle at the Frost Tower of the Hanging Sun, and thus Storm connected with Fallen Twilight.

However, although they appear to be in a cooperative relationship, both sides harbor ulterior motives.

The Lord of Storms seemed to be secretly tinkering with something behind the back of the Fallen Twilight.

So, taking advantage of his hibernation, the God-Supporter sent Wangdao out to investigate the situation.

After arriving in Red Welg.

Wang Dao quickly and successfully entered the place that the Fallen Fire Twilight had asked him to explore.

A network of interconnected waterways within a cave, winding and twisting through countless levels, contains a mass of dead believers and corpses, and even gives birth to numerous monsters, all related to [corruption].

At the very bottom is a bishop who is almost fused with the corrupt heart, clearly acting on the orders of the Lord of Storms.

That thing seemed to have grown to a certain extent, teetering on the edge of some kind of restlessness, ferocious and terrifying, making people uneasy.

Wang Dao did not alert the enemy.

The substitute god gave him a lot of buffs, and with his own abilities, escaping was not difficult.

Therefore, this mission can be considered a complete success.

But it's worth mentioning.

The God-Supporter forbade him to wear the Blood Jar during this mission.

Wang Dao scoffed at this. He knew perfectly well what the other party was planning: to shift the blame onto Zhuxin Island if they were discovered.

"The Lord of Storms has gone into hibernation..."

"I'm afraid they just want to further exploit the power of this so-called 'corruption'..."

"I wonder what Fallen Twilight's attitude will be towards this... Interesting."

"Hmm... After this mission is completed, this acting god should at least give some decent reward, right?"

As Wang Dao headed towards the place he was leaving, this thought flashed through his mind.

He has paid a heavy price to remain in hiding. He hasn't even used the latest [Blood of Eternal Sleep] from Candlefire Island yet, let alone the Fragments of Fire.

Of course, while he wasn't fixated on these things compared to the interesting spy experience, he still needed some compensation from the fiery twilight.

...“Rental compensation?”

"No, you took the Philosopher's Scepter to help everyone explore the game content. I picked this thing up myself, and I don't usually use it in battles, so there's no need to be so polite."

Upon hearing the storyteller's suggestion, Da Hui, after two and a half years, decisively shook his head and refused.

Just as he said before, he was able to successfully get into the Spirit Candle game thanks to the strategies provided by these top experts. Now that they need it, what's wrong with him taking the opportunity to profit from it?
Seeing that he didn't want compensation, Li Miao stepped forward and persuaded him, "Take it, brother. We don't lack this little bit. If you want it and you don't take it this time, there's a good chance that other players will think that doing this is not beneficial and will hide these kinds of things. Wouldn't that be a loss for everyone?"

He smiled.

"Beautiful sophistry always comes from a unique perspective," commented Philosophical Scepter.

Seeing this, I was momentarily stunned, but then I realized that it really made sense.

So, after some persuasion from them, he decided to accept the rental compensation.

After successfully obtaining the philosophical scepter.

Li Miao and his group then spent a large sum of wax oil in preparation for entering the Long Night Divine Realm again. This time, they were there for the Blood of Eternal Sleep, and also to use the Philosopher's Scepter to obtain other information.

Before they re-entered, the storyteller found the distance and frowned slightly.

"This scepter may very well know the inside story of the sun's anomaly. Although we can't completely trust it and may not be able to give an evaluation, we should still try sending it on the nightmare route."

The storyteller reminded him.

Previously, they had used the Philosophical Scepter to evaluate the Radiant Beings. The information they received indicated that the Radiant Beings had "died once," and that the owner of the Philosophical Scepter had "pieced them together." (See Chapter 637 for details)
Now, Pridodan's memories reveal the entire process of the giants eating the sun, some of which match the Philosopher's Scepter, while others do not.

The only thing that can be said to be consistent is the matter of "dying again". After all, if we regard the Radiant Beings as Redrolda's second life, then it is indeed correct to say that.

As for the discrepancies, it's naturally because its owner "pieced together" the fact that it brought glory to all living beings.

If we're talking about piecing things together, the Queen of the Long Night might barely fit the bill, but would the Queen of the Long Night be the owner of this thing?

The possibility is obviously very small.

That means that the statement might be a lie.

Of course, this remains to be verified, after all, besides the Queen of the Long Night, there is another one who meets the condition of "pieced together"...

In short, precisely because the other party's words are highly uncertain, storytellers do not rely on them when explaining or speculating.

"Ah."

Yuanfang nodded slightly, and then embarked on a new exploration with Li Miao and Shang'an.

Upon entering the reset Long Night Divine Realm.

Yuan Fang sensed that the situation was completely different from before.

[Due to the effect of "Body of the Long Night," visibility at night will not impede your vision or power.]

The potential effect of the Long Night's Flame Fragment has been activated, directly rendering the "nighttime visibility" setting, which caused headaches for players in the first half of the game, no longer an issue.

at the same time.

The philosophical scepter in the distance also spoke.

"Pitch black... Is it a night of destruction and death? Or a long night of coldness and wisdom? Ah... it seems to be a long night of coldness and wisdom."

A night of destruction and deathly silence?

It probably refers to the Dark Ages.

It seems this scepter knows things that transcend eras and time...

Yuanfang gained a deeper understanding of the origins of the philosophical scepter.

No longer affected by the darkness and poor visibility, he quickly reunited with Li Miao and the others, and began to wander around with the Philosopher's Scepter, searching for possible hidden information.

Some NPCs were naturally not spared either.

However, the philosophical scepter either doesn't react to these responses or responds with sarcastic and dismissive mockery.

"Ignorant and pathetic creatures trapped in the tragedy of extinguishing the flames."

"Oh? Such a purely selfish person... perhaps he has also grasped part of the true meaning of fire? After all, combustion resides on the flame material..."

"..."

Most of these comments were uninformative and contained little hidden information, so the three experienced individuals quickly skipped over them.
