Night World Players

Chapter 55 Who can keep a diary?
[The current historical reverberation is "Reverberation of Disaster", only travelers of level 3 and below can enter]

[Mission Objective: Find a way to leave Frozen Water Town, or be buried here forever]

[It is detected that your status is at a critical level, and this reverberation has a compatibility with your sequence, starting the promotion task]

[Promotion Mission "Tower": Find out the truth about the Frozen Water Town shrouded in fog.]

[Tip: There is no time limit for completing the mission in this reverberation, and you cannot leave the night world after the time limit ends.]

[Hint: Night Traveler obtains a legitimate identity in the remnants of history and is proficient in the basic common language of this world]

These are the tips that Night World gives to travelers?
Rast's spirit examined the azure words in his mind one by one.

According to the night world information he had read in Starry University these days, the reverberation world of the night world spanned almost all the lost history before the "Pale Age".

Some of these lost historical fragments are related to each other and have a clear sequence, while others are completely independent, as if they came from different eras of civilization.

Organize, summarize, and analyze the fragmented information brought back by many travelers from the remnants of the night world...

Finally, a complete historical trajectory was reconstructed before the "Pale Age", eras were divided according to the rise and fall of civilization, and a reliable chronicle was written.

This has always been the goal of the Ruins Institute.

I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate.

According to the background introduction of the night world, the remnant of disaster that they entered this time was in the same era as the Deep Blue Harbor that had trapped Last for three hundred years, only a hundred years apart.

But in just a hundred years, there is a world of difference.

Although Deep Blue Port is still at the end of the steam age, everything is thriving and the prototype of new technologies has already sprouted.

In time, we will soon be able to enter the electrical age and even the information age.

However, the outbreak of the Iron Cross Plague became the turning point for civilization to go from prosperity to decline.

Today, the spark of civilization is already shaky, and it can only survive by relying on waterways under the watchful eyes of foreign enemies.

"According to the division of the Ruins Institute, this is the history of the Sixth Epoch." Last muttered to himself.

The last known era of civilization before the Pale Gap, the era closest to the current time point.

At the same time, it is also the era that the Ruins Institute and travelers know the least about, and the chronicles are the most incomplete.

While thinking, Rast's gaze suddenly paused.

Then, it stopped at that inconspicuous word.

……

"It turns out that the remnant of the disaster cannot automatically return after reaching the time limit. No wonder the previous reconnaissance team was wiped out here."

"In addition, this place actually belongs to the same Sixth Epoch as the Deep Blue Harbor Reverberation."

"The Ruins Institute had previously speculated that the order in which the night worlds appeared in the present world was based on the order of the eras to which they belonged."

"It seems that perhaps the speculation of the Ruins Court that there are a total of 72 night worlds is quite credible. Most of the night worlds in the first five eras have been conquered. The remaining one is the sixth era, which has appeared the least number of times and we know very little about it."

When Hiltina's words rang out, it was obvious that she had also seen the era information provided by the Night World.

But then, her voice paused slightly.

"Shore Keeper?" Hiltina glanced at Rast and said, "If I remember correctly, the internal code name you entered into the Obelisk file was "Shore Keeper", right?"

"It's really an honor." Last smiled. "I didn't expect that Miss Hiltina would take the time out of her busy schedule to pay attention to my admission progress."

"But it must be a coincidence." He said, "It was just a name I heard accidentally in Deep Blue Port, and I filled it in when filling out the Obelisk file."

"Is that right?"

Hiltina's gaze paused on Rast's calm face for a moment, and finally she sighed as if giving up.

Ishtar has already proved with a bloody lesson that the idea of trying to peek into Rast's true heart... is simply a fantasy.

"But your explanation does make sense."

Xiltina thought for a moment: "Since this organization called "Shore Keepers" is so mysterious, it even has the mission of guarding the waterway and maintaining the spark of civilization."

"Then maybe the Shore Watchers have existed for hundreds of years, but they have been hiding behind the scenes and have never been noticed by the world... You have heard a few words about this organization in Deep Blue Harbor, so it is not difficult to explain."

"But there's no point in talking about this now."

"If we can make it through alive, we can hand it over to the people in the Ruins Institute for research."

Her eyes moved slightly, scanning the narrow space inside the lighthouse.

There wasn't much here, except for a kerosene lamp, two haphazard beds, some plain furniture, and a mountain of cans and broken bottles...

All that was left were two silver badges and an old diary on the wooden table.

The lines of the waves were engraved on the silver badge with rough strokes.

Not far from the line, there is a pair of simple silver wings that surround the coastline.

"The Man Watching the Coast"

Looking at the two silver wing emblems, Last instantly understood the meaning of the patterns.

He put a shore guardian wing emblem on his chest, and then gave the other one to Hiltina.

On the other side, Hiltina had already opened the old diary.

The faint light of the kerosene lamp illuminated the words written in black ink on the yellowed paper.

[July 93, 12th year of the Cataclysm Calendar]

[As a member of the shore watchers, this is my first day in Frozen Water Town, guarding the Broken Coast. ]

[Of course, although I have come to Frozen Water Town, I must always stay at the lighthouse outside the town to observe any abnormalities on the sea surface and maintain the normal operation of the navigation lights.]

[My daily life is on the lighthouse, and my food and consumables rely on the regular supply from the headquarters every six months, so I don’t have any intersection with the residents of Frozen Water Town. ]

[I heard that ten years ago, the lighthouse keepers along the Broken Coast were all in groups of two... Later, the number was reduced to one person. It is said that this was caused by the destruction of another surviving human kingdom, which led to a serious shortage of manpower in the organization.]

[Sometimes I also fantasize from time to time, if time goes back 20 years, how nice it would be to have more beautiful people of the opposite sex to accompany me when I was guarding the tower. Although even if I really had a companion, it would probably be a big guy who picked his toes. ]

[As a serious person, I never keep a diary, but according to headquarters regulations, tower guards need to keep a diary regularly.]

[It seems like this will be very troublesome, never mind, I will write it when I collect the logs (crossed out). ]
