Night World Players

Chapter 93: The Reverberations of the Epoch: The Prologue to the Legendary Battle (Two in One)

"Bronze Rose?"

The moonlight flickered in Dean Yin's animal eyes, and he forcibly broke free from Ophelia's arms.

Its eyes turned serious: "You even found the method they used to track down Little Tina?"

"A tracking item that can ignore team requirements and level restrictions and force the Night Traveler to enter the same historical remnant?"

When Hiltina was in the echo of Deep Blue Harbor, she was chased by a third-level dancer.

Of course, that incident also became the opportunity for Rast and Hiltina to meet for the first time.

Afterwards, Fanxing University also investigated the matter, but as a secret organization, the Bronze Rose was hidden quite deeply, with its members and bases spread across various countries in the Western Continent. It had been a headache for all major forces for hundreds of years.

In addition, Fanxing University is an independent organization that focuses on conquering the night world and is independent of the forces of major countries. It is impossible for it to dispatch too much combat power to the territory of another country in order to eliminate a secret organization.

Therefore, the search for the Bronze Rose has been progressing quite slowly.

Unexpectedly, it was the royal family that made the first breakthrough.

"I can't help it, but she is my dear sister Wang after all."

"Even though my sister doesn't like us interfering in her life as a royal family member..."

"But since there is a little mouse who dares to secretly follow my sister, how can I just ignore it?"

A smile appeared on Ophelia's lips.

She ignored the little ferret that broke free from her arms and just raised her hand slightly.

The pair of mercury hands silently disintegrated and turned into liquid undead metal that flowed around her body.

Then, the mercury droplets condensed into black thorns, and then gathered into a chair woven from black thorns.

Ophelia sat down in the chair.

The pure white dress against the dull background, the delicate and flawless face, and the elegant royal aura made her look as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

if--

Ignore the words that flashed in Ophelia's crimson eyes, the shadow that swallowed up the light.

"I asked Kate to go to the Ruiyi Alliance of Princes and destroy the Bronze Rose's branch sect in the entire southern region of the Western Continent."

"At the same time, I also found some interesting things from Bronze Rose's base in the Southern Region headquarters."

Ophelia placed her hand obediently on the armrest of the thorn chair, the undead metal surged, and two things appeared silently in her hands.

A crystal and a doll made of clay without any facial details.

"A 'tracking doll' that can track the target into the same night world, including a space core that can improve the image transmission crystal so that it can transmit images across the barrier between the night world and the real world..."

"I found these from the Bronze Rose branch sect's headquarters in the Southern Region."

Dean Yin looked at the two props in Ophelia's hands with a serious expression.

"Why does Bronze Rose have such a thing?"

As a magical animal that has been listed as one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of Starry University and has witnessed almost the entire process of night travelers' exploration of the night world, Dean Yin is very clear about what the appearance of these two props means.

This means that the barrier between the night world and the real world has been broken.

Although they may seem ordinary, these two props actually involve the rules of the night world and are authority-type rule props.

It is far from comparable to those ordinary supernatural props that simply pursue lethality and healing abilities.

Countless night travelers of Star University have explored the night world for nearly a thousand years, but they know very little about the rule-based night world props. Why does the Bronze Rose, a secret organization that focuses more on the real world, have mastered this kind of props?
Even a third-level dancer in the "Mind Demon" sequence can use the "Tracking Doll" to track at will, which means that Bronze Rose did not get it by chance, but has mastered a stable production method.

"According to the information left in the headquarters of the destroyed branch sect, these things did not come from secret organizations like the Bronze Rose... but were obtained from an even more secret source."

Ophelia played with the faceless clay doll in her hand: "There is very little remaining information about the source, and most of it is vague. There is only one noun left--"

Her clear and pleasant voice paused: "Gravekeeper."

"Kate interrogated some bishops of the Bronze Rose Southern Branch, and even used soul-searching methods... But the Bronze Rose leaders knew nothing about the origins of these items except the name "Gravekeeper."

Gravekeeper?
Dean Yin repeated the term in his mind, but even with his experience and knowledge, he still could not remember it.

It naturally knew who Kate was that Ophelia mentioned. She was a sixth-rank expert who was directly loyal to the royal family...

In other words, Kate's loyalty was not to the royal family, or even to Emperor Aaron, but to Princess Ophelia herself.

That cold woman has always regarded herself as "Her Highness Ophelia's sharpest sword."

And since even this torturer, whose name alone could scare countless nobles in the imperial capital, could not find any clues in the Bronze Rose branch sect's headquarters...

This only shows that the mastermind behind the scenes, called "Gravekeeper", may be hiding deeper than Dean Yin imagined.

Even the undercurrents between the countries in the Western Continent may have something to do with each other...

Dean Yin stopped his divergent associations, retracted his thoughts, and looked at Ophelia in front of him again: "You should know how much these two props mean to the night travelers."

Let's not talk about the tracking dolls that can track others into the same night world. After all, Starry University is not a cult organization, and there is no need to follow others... and most of the night worlds can form teams normally, and only a very small number of night travelers are qualified to challenge the end of the night world.

But just the transmission crystal that can transmit images of the night world's interior in real time... will bring about fundamental changes in the way night travelers conquer the night world.

If, when conquering the aftermath of the disaster in Frozen Water Town, the reconnaissance team could be equipped with transmission crystals to transmit information to the outside world in real time, many sacrifices during the development could be avoided.

"of course."

Ophelia smiled and nodded. "Although there are only a few of them, I will give the rest of the rule props to your school later."

"But, before that..."

The dark mercury surged and turned into a test tube in Ophelia's hand again, with a few drops of bright red blood flowing in the test tube.

And Ophelia dripped the blood in the test tube onto the faceless clay doll.

next moment.

Suddenly, extremely subtle changes occurred on the clay doll that looked extremely rough and had no external details.

It was as if an invisible hand was kneading and carving the clay...

Soon, delicate facial features and details of the appearance appeared on the clay doll's face.

Black hair, black eyes, wearing a dark windbreaker. The curves of his face are not as straight and hard as those of the common races in the Western Continent, but rather a little soft.

He has a tall and straight figure and an indifferent look in his eyes.

It was clearly Rast scaled down ten times.

Ophelia's wine-red eyes fell on the face of the little doll, her gaze deep.

"When did you get Rast's blood?" Dean Yin frowned as he watched Ophelia's actions.

"Of course it was left on the training ground when he was doing actual combat training with the gorilla."

Ophelia paused for a moment, a smile on her face: "After all, those people in the military don't have the courage to control me."

Dean Yin: ...

Justified and convincing.

As the only princess in the empire, the Mysterious Tower was built by the military and Star University, but its daily maintenance is carried out by the military. It is equivalent to Ophelia's back garden.

"I can't help it, but she is my only sister after all."

"She is so stubborn and single-minded... Once she sets her mind on something, she will never give up. Even if she knows it is a wall, Sister Wang will definitely smash it without hesitation."

"But with a personality like my sister's, if the person she identifies is actually a bad person, she will be easily hurt."

"The deeper you love, the deeper you will be hurt."

Ophelia stretched out her white fingers and gently touched the doll's face, which was 90% similar to Rast, with her fingertips, her eyes were deep.

"That new student named Last, I don't care about his exact origins or how many secrets he has."

"But I want to see clearly what kind of person he is."

In Ophelia's eyes, the shadow that swallowed the light became even darker: "In the real world, I put on a false and flawless mask in front of outsiders... I can do this kind of thing, as skilled as him."

"However, for those who are used to wearing masks, only in the night world, in the remnants of history that they think no one can hear or see, can they briefly reveal their true face underneath the mask."

The flowing mercury surged, bringing the clay doll and the transmission crystal in her hand to Axia.

"As long as you carry this doll in, you will be able to enter the same night world as the target the doll is tracking, and locate his specific position within it."

Axia stared at the two props in front of her expressionlessly, her eyes lingering on the dolls for a moment.

Finally, she turned her head and glanced at Dean Yin.

Although Akshia had a good impression of Ophelia, she was also somewhat curious about the doll that could track Rast.

But as a student of Star University, she does not need to obey the orders of the imperial royal family. In such occasions, Akshia will only respect the opinions of Dean Yin.

"Do as Ophelia says."

Dean Yin sighed deeply.

"Although I have confidence in that kid, he is only at the second level after all, and he is likely to be involved in the historical trend of the Final Night World."

"Remember to help him when necessary."

"it is good."

Axia nodded, and her indifferent voice rang out in Dean Yin's spiritual world through the moonlight.

At the same time, she took over the crystal and the doll.

Akshia reached out her hand expressionlessly and pinched the cheek of the clay doll with the appearance of Rast, then took it into her arms with a sense of unsatisfied feeling.

The next moment, she walked to the dark tombstone with ease and raised her hand to touch it.

Along with a distortion of the night, the girl with long ice-blue hair also disappeared beside the Epoch Monument.

In the empty hall, only Ophelia, Dean Yin and their mink were left.

"So, little Snow Ferret, do you want to come and watch the live broadcast?"

"Of course... the speed of time in the night world is not the same as in the real world, so what we actually see is not a live broadcast, but some key clips that have already happened in the night world and have been selected."

Ophelia showed an elegant smile on her pretty face and extended an invitation to Dean Yin.

However, that lovely, doll-like smile seemed deep and cold in Dean Yin's eyes, like a black hole that swallowed up all the light.

This royal sister of Hiltina is the type that it fears the most and finds difficult to deal with.

However, looking at the light screen unfolding in front of Ophelia, Dean Yin couldn't restrain his curiosity. He carefully found a corner where Ophelia couldn't catch him and watched the scene in the light screen.

After all, listening to night travelers recounting their experiences and watching first-person live broadcasts are two completely different experiences.

It was also very curious about what this guy Last would come up with in this night world.

……

In the vague and undulating night.

Last saw lines of azure blue text flash by.

[Night World Mission - "The Reverberations of the Era. The Prologue of the Legendary Battle" has been opened]

[Era Introduction: Iron Cross, activated pollutants, rampant beast tides, evil cults rampaging across the continent, destroyed towns...

When civilization developed rapidly and the prosperous Golden Age of the Sixth Period faded away, what came after the prosperity ended was endless disasters.

Even though the "Shore Watchers" organization has held on for a hundred years, the trajectory of its fate seems to have already been determined, and everything is falling inevitably towards decline.

It seems as if there is a hand in the dark, invisibly controlling the direction of the disaster, making the spark of civilization increasingly dim.

Today, the top leaders of the shore guards have also discovered that continuing along the original path is nothing but a meaningless prolongation.

The only thing they can do is to take the initiative and destroy the source of the disaster in secret before everything becomes irreversible...

Even if it means sacrificing blood and fire, and paying the price of bones and ashes. 】

[At the same time, in an inconspicuous corner, a girl named Gray passed the assessment and became a member of the new shore guard organization. ]
