Night World Players

Chapter 27: Deep Blue Harbor, Clearance
The night gently enveloped Rast.

The night was so light, yet it seemed to isolate the entire world. The sounds, lights, and colors of the original Deep Blue Harbor world were no longer detectable.

Rast sank into the silent night.

His body was shrouded in the darkness of night. His shattered hands and feet gradually regained consciousness. The wounds all over his body disappeared, and his dried-up mental strength was replenished again.

Even the Iron Cross that had been rooted deep in Rast's soul and had been constantly invading his mind with tyrannical desires, melted away like ice and snow the moment it encountered the night light, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The feeling was unique, and compared to the healing and cleansing that Rast had experienced before, this process was closer to "regression."

It was not about healing the wound, but the moment the night touched Rast, the time his body had experienced of "injury, fractures, and contamination by the Iron Cross Plague" was erased and restored to its original state.

Looking back in time, this description sounds a little incredible.

But considering the information that Hiltina had revealed to him before... As the creator of the night world, the Lord of Silence who witnessed the rise and fall of civilization, and the entire Deep Blue Harbor were nothing more than the echoes of a history that had once happened, recorded by the night world.

Going back a short time, it seemed like a trivial matter to the night world.

His originally chaotic thoughts gradually became clear as he recalled, and Last began to check the information that appeared on the azure light screen in his mind.

Most of the information was not difficult for Last to understand. In his previous life, he was responsible for developing the night world module in the game company.

After learning the truth about Deep Blue Harbor from Hiltina, Last easily grasped most of the contents on the light curtain.

Just as Hiltina had speculated, after obtaining the certificate and successfully completing the mission of the current historical remnants, he was also selected by the night world as a qualified person and became a "Night Traveler".

His sequence of long steps is a high tower. According to Hiltina, this sequence has been lost in the real world, and only a few records remain in history books.

The level of status is also easy to understand. According to Hiltina, level 19 means that he is now only one step away from the second level.

As for the reason why he could reach such a high level without any extraordinary knowledge inheritance, acting skills, or training, Last guessed that it was due to his hundreds of years of cycles in Deep Blue Harbor.

Compared to Hiltina's "Chariot", the "Tower" sequence is obviously more focused on the spirit and soul. During the tens of thousands of restarts, Rast's body did not get any exercise, but his spiritual experience was preserved.

Also, I got the mission rewards for clearing the Echoes of Deep Blue Harbor this time - inherent skills and emblem costumes.

Rast's thoughts moved slightly.

The next moment, the azure light curtain in his mind changed.

[Iron Heart]

[Category: Intrinsic Skills]

[The endless same day, the repetitive cycle of time, is not a blessing to mankind, but the most desperate curse. No matter how sincere the feelings and ardent the ideals are, they will eventually decay and deteriorate in the face of the long time, and finally turn into nothingness dust. ]

[So, what is hidden in this heart that supports the dilapidated body and cannot be shaken even by the pollution of the evil god and the reversal of the Iron Cross...]

[Skill Effect: Your soul resistance increases by 50%. The effects of pollution, corruption, bewitching, mental manipulation, hypnosis, and mind-reading abilities targeting you will be greatly weakened and will backfire on the user.]

……

【Iron Moon】

[Category: Heraldry Costume]

[This heavy-hitting revolver has fought alongside you for a long time, from the alleys of the slums to the spire of the city council. It witnessed you fighting your way out of the black iron tide until you saw the bright moon again.]

……

[Seven Realms] [Category: Heraldry Costume]

[This is a hunt in the rain. Seven straight lines pierce through the eyes, sights and heart. Only the best snipers can control this breech-loading single-shot sniper rifle, and its legend continues. ]

……

The starlight twinkled in the dark night and all fell into Last's palms, transforming into two shining emblems that faded into his body little by little.

But Last felt that he could summon the two emblems at any time, and the revolver and sniper rifle lay quietly in the space of the emblems. As long as Last thought about it, the guns would fall into his hands.

According to Hiltina, each clearance reward for entering the Night World will be generated based on the overall mission evaluation and the clearance process, and will most likely be related to the experience in this historical remnant.

Perhaps because of this experience, these two guns that accompanied Last for a long time were sublimated into emblem costumes just like Hiltina's rapier "Shining Morning Star".

And after checking the mission rewards.

The only piece of information left on the light curtain was the last one.

Last focused his attention on the two lines of flashing blue text.

[It is detected that Night Blade has been bound to the Traveler's Mind World, and the matching process is interrupted]

[Your Night Blade is: "The Fool's Library"]

According to Hiltina, every night traveler who is chosen by the night world will receive a blessing called "Night Blade" based on the origin of his soul and mental landscape.

However, the generation of his own Night Blade was interrupted.

because--

"The Fool's Library"

He whispered the name. According to the description, this was his own Night Blade, not one from the Night World, but a Night Blade that was originally bound to his soul.

The next moment, a brand new world opened up before Rast's eyes.

It seemed to be a pitch-black tower. Last was standing at the center of the tower. There was endless darkness in front of him, with only faint shining stars in the distance.

In the deep darkness, there were twenty-one pale long steps, starting from the ground under Rast's feet, extending upward to the highest point of the tower, the end of the distant deep space.

Rast looked around, scanning the twenty-one pale steps one by one.

Most of the long steps have an illusory door at the bottom, with golden chains crisscrossing around the door, as if it was locked with some kind of shackles that were difficult to remove.

Only in front of the two stairs, there were no golden chains or illusory door seals.

When Rast set his eyes on the two long steps, flickering spots of light quietly condensed on the steps and turned into two illusory cards.

The patterns on the back of the card are a tower struck by lightning and a royal chariot pulled by black and white lions.

On the front of the card is a portrait of the character.

One photo shows a girl wearing a red and white knight's uniform, with a rapier in a silver scabbard and long chestnut hair.

The other showed a slender figure wearing a black hooded cape with a revolver hanging from his waist.

The illustrations of Rast on these two cards look very familiar, because the first one is Hiltina, and the other one is actually himself.
