Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 244 Apostle Lotus

Qi Ji immediately felt the huge gains made by the adventurers.

After all, extracting this kind of top-level item from the secret realm will cause a great consumption of mental energy.

At the same time, in the newly built Hall of Wonders in the lord's castle, one of the ten altar-like platforms began to vibrate, and a spirit projection appeared on the altar.

It is the "Spirit of the Lord of the City of Light"!
And this is the significance of Qi Ji creating the rare treasure exhibition hall.

While this facility remains in operation, as long as a rare item is born in the territory, a replica projection of the item, regardless of its type, will be created here.

There is an upper limit to the number of rare treasure projections that can be stored in the Hall of Rare Treasures. If the number of rare treasures that appear exceeds the upper limit and is not converted into cash, the rare treasure projections that appear later will overwrite them in order.

This facility is of no use to ordinary territories. After all, ordinary territories simply don't have rare treasures, and even if there are, only a few can be found throughout the year.

Miracle City is different.

Just one day.

Three rare and precious items were produced one after another.

And this spirit is the most valuable of the three rare treasures.

"The Hall of Wonders is indeed useful!"

Qi Ji has already spent up to five thousand points of mental energy to convert the spirit of the Lord of Light City in the Hall of Rare Treasures into cash. With this facility, the output of rare treasures in the territory will double, and even the precious spirit will not need to be recycled.

Although obtaining rare treasures from the Hall of Rare Treasures will consume a lot of mental energy.

But this is nothing, what Miracle Territory lacks the least is spiritual resources.

Of course, since named spirits are unique, the "Spirit of the Lord of the City of Light" that Qi Ji obtained is not named, but the same spirit, whether named or not, does not differ much in its abilities, characteristics, and performance.

The Lord of the City of Light is a rare and precious spirit of the third level and five stars.

Its value is higher than most fourth-tier rare spirits.

This is a very valuable resource and a very important bargaining chip.

Not only can spirit materials be used to directly summon monster soldiers or create monster guards through sealing, they can also be rewarded to adventurers or traded as top-level commodities to interested local strongmen.

For adventurers.

There is no need to explain the value of the soul of the Lord of Light.

Whether it is a bounty for an important mission or a clearly marked price, it is enough to attract countless adventurers to go crazy, so as to use them to create huge value for the territory and sing praises to the lord at the same time.

As for the local strongmen?
Even if they cannot merge their spirits, they will still be very interested in the Lord of the City of Light.

Because the spirit itself is a material that contains powerful power and information, local strongmen have other ways to devour or absorb the spirit, thereby mastering some of the spirit's abilities and even comprehending the various skills and spells contained therein.

This spirit of the Lord of the City of Light is just the beginning.

In the future, the output of various top-level spirits will only increase.

The biggest advantage of the Arad continent as a secret realm in online games is that it can operate stably and long-term.

It is rich in content and contains a large number of spirits, equipment, and skills. As more and more adventurers join in the future, it will surely generate a steady stream of income for the territory!
What is a Lord of the City of Light?
Even if there are ten or a hundred, it’s just a matter of time!
Qi Ji noticed that although the Time Traveler had paused his exploration, the team consisting of Vesaros, Nancylia, Black Hammer King, and Grumpy Chicken had already begun to challenge the hidden map of the Sky City, the Hanging City.

This map is small though.

But there are hundreds or thousands of monsters gathered in it!
If you can't pass the level quickly and are surrounded by monsters from all sides, the only outcome is death.

The monsters in the Hanging City are mainly various destroyers and sword knights. In addition, there are several elite monsters with names, some of which have real strength up to the third level.

This copy also has a dual BOSS mechanism.

The two BOSSes are "Left Eye of Sin" and "Right Eye of Sin".

These two eyes were originally magical creatures created by Tyrannosaurus King Bakar to monitor the Sky City. Although they are not as impressive as those of Seghart, the Lord of the City of Light, they also contain powerful magical powers.

however.

Bakar died five hundred years ago.

Two powerful magical beings have been out of control for a long time, and the magic power in their bodies has long been contaminated and distorted by evil aura, and eventually they have become two BOSSes in the Hanging City dungeon, bringing different combat experiences and combat mechanisms to adventurers.

Of course, although the copy is quite difficult.

But the team composed of Visaros, Nancylia and others is quite strong.

After three trials and errors, they finally defeated the two major bosses and completed the game. At the same time, they rescued the key NPC Ophelia who fell into the hanging city.

That is, the time traveler had just come out of the secret realm. When he learned that the team composed of Visaros and others had actually broken through the higher-level floating city, he immediately came to the secret realm crystal to check the situation.

“This time the harvest is really not small!”

The Blackrock Hammer King returned to the town and sighed.

The four-person team has completed all the plots of Sky City. Although they did not obtain such exaggerated gains as the Time Traveler, they also got one or two high-quality loot.

For example, when Blackrock Hammer King cleared the City Lord's Palace at the King's difficulty level, he opened an Aurora Sword from the treasure chest. This is a level 25 purple weapon, which is not only usable but also very powerful.

This weapon is used to perform the Sword Soul Style's Inner Demon Sword Technique, doubling its power.

It provided a lot of help in successfully opening up the Hanging City!
"Brother Hammer, go find Ophelia and ask her what's going on."

"..."

The adventurers outside urged on.

When the adventurers were challenging the Hanging City to complete the mission, they found Ophelia who had fallen into the Hanging City. However, she was already in a coma and a team led by the Imperial Apprentice Knight Reni was fighting against the monsters.

The situation was very critical, so the adventurers asked the Imperial Knight Reni to take Ophelia to retreat first, while they continued to fight the monsters in the Hanging City.

The battle is now over.

The mission is accomplished.

Naturally I have to go find him and ask him clearly.

King Blackhammer soon found out that Ophelia was receiving treatment in a hotel on the west coast. When he arrived, the hotel was surrounded by imperial soldiers and knights.

A knight saluted upon seeing the Blackstone Hammer King. "So you are the renowned adventurer, Lord Blackstone. Our leader has specifically instructed you to come and go at will."

"Thank you!"

The Blackrock Hammer King was very satisfied with this.

The exploration of the Sky City involves many forces.

The main ones are the Principality of Bell and the Delos Empire.

The characters involved on the side of the Principality of Bell include Queen Skadi, the principality's first knight, the ghost swordsman Lobach, the wandering swordsman who is one of the four sword masters, and the giant swordsman Aganzo.

In addition, there are the folk ghost swordsman mentor GSD, the president of the Magic Guild, Sharan, as well as Alice, Celia and others.

The people involved on the Empire's side are no ordinary people either. They mainly include Barn, one of the four great sword masters of Arad and the leader of the Iron Wolf Knights, and the deputy leader Hyde and others.

Adventurers are adventuring on the west coast and exploring the city in the sky.

It is inevitable to deal with the above-mentioned mysterious characters.

During this period, many random favorability tasks or side story tasks will be derived. Adventurers can improve the favorability of each character based on luck and their own operations, thereby unlocking more hidden gameplay or benefits.

For example, Time Traveler obtained a benefit of brushing because he focused on developing a relationship with Mr. G, and he also actively planned and seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Work hard on the layout.

Plus a burst of luck.

Finally got the Soul of Seghart.

It can be said that he soared to the sky and made other adventurers envious!
Of course, although Mr. G is a very popular figure in the continent of Arad, and many adventurers in Miracle City want to establish a better relationship with him, there are many powerful people in the continent of Arad, and there are more than just GSD.
At this moment, many adventurers are trying hard to improve the favorability of Queen Skadi and the female ghost sword Lobach. Some people also think that the mysterious magician Sharan has a better chance of getting close to them. It is inevitable that some adventurers are very optimistic about the Imperial Sword Saint Barn.

And it turns out.

Just build good relations with the imperial forces.

There are many copies where you can team up with imperial masters.

Of course, even if you don't deliberately cultivate relationships, just completing the storyline of Sky Castle is enough to greatly enhance your reputation, thus becoming a well-known adventurer and participating in the next stage of adventure.

A few minutes later.

The Black Stone Hammer King met Ophelia.

This is a beautiful girl with long red hair tied in two ponytails. Although she has a cute and beautiful young appearance, she also has a scholarly air.

"One thing to say."

"There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in Arad!"

"Celia, Lorian, President Sharan, Queen Skadi, Knight Lobach... and this Ophelia, all of them are top-notch beauties with unique temperaments and characteristics!"

"Hehe, I like it. I want to boost their favorability!"

"..."

When King Blackhammer visited Ophelia, he noticed a burly, bearded man standing at the door. He was dressed simply and wore a hood.

This person is obviously not an imperial soldier. His most striking feature is the huge sword on his back.

"Your Excellency Aganzuo!"

The Black Stone Hammer King did not dare to be careless because he knew the identity of this person. Although Aganzu did not belong to any force and was just a wandering swordsman, he was one of the famous Four Sword Saints.

At this moment, he is employed by Queen Skadi to investigate the Sky City on behalf of the Principality.

Ophelia's appearance naturally attracted his attention.

"Is that you? Where's Celia?"

The Black Stone Hammer King immediately said, "Celia, under the protection of President Sharan, is heading to the large magic circle at the top of the Sky City. They will then complete a very important repair work."

Aganzuo nodded. "Well, managing the Great Magic Circle is a very important job. She is playing her role, and as an adventurer, you also have adventures to complete next."

"Who is this……"

Ophelia noticed the Black Hammer King.

Aganzuo introduced, "This is Black Stone, a rising adventurer. He was the one who saved you in the Sky City."

Ophelia's face was filled with gratitude. "So it's you. Thank you so much. Although I was unconscious at the time, I still vaguely remember some things... Are you injured?"

"I won't get hurt!" Black Hammer King laughed and then asked, "By the way, why did you fall into Sky City?"

Ophelia: "My name is Ophelia Beilance. I come from the Temple of the Skyshroud Behemoth and am a follower of the GBL Cult... I was able to escape from such a terrible disaster and survive the forced landing. Now I think it was the blessing of the God of Fate!"

Black Stone Hammer King: "GBL religion? What kind of religion is this?"

Ophelia: "You haven't heard of the GBL religion? It's a sect created by the great scholar Leslie Beilans. It's also known as the Blue Truth Church in the continent of Arad. Our goal is to travel around the world to collect all knowledge and conduct research, and ultimately comprehend the ultimate knowledge..."

There is actually such a force?
The adventurers in Miracle City all stared at each other in amazement.

There are quite a few strange forces on the continent of Arad.

Blackstone Hammer King: "That giant beast in the sky..."

Ophelia: "There are the remains of a very ancient temple on the back of this giant beast. It has now become the headquarters temple of our sect. We have lived there for many years, but..."

Speaking of which.

To think means to remember something.

She showed a look of horror.

"Please help us... That monster suddenly... suddenly appeared in our temple!"

Ophelia struggled to describe it: "I only remember that the originally clear sky suddenly blew up with a strong wind. Even the huge Sky Curtain Beast could not withstand the attack of such a strong wind."

Everyone was very surprised.

What kind of power is this?

It's so huge that even a monster like the Sky Curtain Beast can't bear it?
Ophelia continued, "At the time, I felt as if my body was being crushed by a huge mountain, making it unbearable. The believers around me screamed like crazy and fell to the ground. Most of them were burned black by the mysterious power..."

"That monster destroyed everything in an instant... the house... the temple... He even used mental attacks to instantly brainwash most of the surviving believers, controlling and brainwashing them and turning them into his subordinates."

"Believers who were once as close as family began to kill each other."

"I escaped with the help of Sister Ishadullah. That's when I heard the monster's name... Apostle Lotus!"

"What? Apostle Lotus!"

The giant sword Aganzu's personality is just like the giant sword behind him. He always looks deep and steady, but at this moment he reveals a hint of horror.

It's not just the Aganzu.

The audience of adventurers in the secret hall.

At this moment, everyone looked surprised.

Ran Tianyun: "Apostle Lotus? Could he be the same apostle as Tyrannosaurus King Bakar?"

Lucky Grass: "That's impossible. Apostle-level existence is the ceiling of the strong in Arad Continent. How could such a strong person appear so easily?"

Feng Zhongmian: "It's entirely possible. Don't forget, the Arad Continent dungeon has a special level balancing mechanism. The Lord has set up this special mechanism. In theory, it can allow top-level masters to make unconventional moves and appear early."

Meng Bai couldn't help but say, "From what this girl said, this guy named Rotus used just a moment of his powerful mental power to control the Sky Curtain Beast and destroy tens of thousands of GBL believers... This level of mental power is extremely rare even among fifth-level experts!"

"No way!"

"Could it really be an apostle?"

"I think it's pretty close!"

"Old thief Qi doesn't play by the rules. I thought it would take at least a year or two of exploration before we could encounter the Apostles from the Arad Continent. I didn't expect them to show up so soon!"

"..."

While all the adventurers were discussing excitedly.

Aganzuo had calmed down from his shock.

He said in a deep voice, "Will another apostle descend after Hellux? Ever since the appearance of the Sky City, I can sense that the atmosphere in Arad is somewhat unusual. Perhaps the sudden appearance of the Sky City is also the result of some kind of abnormality..."

The Blackrock Hammer King didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

He asked, "Uncle Aganzuo, you once defeated the Apostle Shilok. What do you think of this?"

Aganzuo said in a deep voice, "I still cannot recall the battle in the Wailing Caverns... This matter is extremely important and must be reported to Queen Skadi immediately!"

At this time, a voice that sounded very young and a little frivolous was heard.

"Wow, an apostle, really? If it's a guy similar to Shilok, then his power must be terrifying!"

Blackrock Hammer King looked in the direction of the voice.

Two men dressed as imperial generals approached.

One of them had short black hair, was in his early thirties, had a steady temperament and was meticulous. He was Hyde, who was born into a noble family in the Delos Empire and was currently the deputy commander of the Iron Wolf Knights.

The other man had short white hair combed back. Although he was wearing the uniform of a senior general, he looked very young, even a little feminine and immature, a pretty boy in his early twenties.

He was the one who spoke just now.

He is Dagger Barn, the youngest of the Four Sword Masters. He participated in the Battle of the Wailing Caverns when he was only seventeen years old. He was eventually awarded the title of Imperial Count and Captain of the Iron Wolf Knights for his achievements in this battle. He is undoubtedly a super swordsmanship genius.

Hyde: "There's too little confirmed information. Perhaps it's not a true apostle?"

Barn: "I feel like it's pretty close. I've heard of the GBL before. Although it's a very closed organization, it's quite large and full of experts. The force that could cause them to collapse in an instant and even abandon the temple and flee in panic is definitely not simple..."

Hyde immediately said: "We should ask His Majesty the Emperor for help immediately!"

Barn: "Although seeking support from the Empire is a wise move, it takes a considerable amount of time to go back and forth. If more nobles rise up to oppose it, the time required will be incalculable... Oh, Your Majesty, you are really a fool. It would have been fine to give him a baron or viscount in the first place. Giving him an earl right away will inevitably make him a thorn in the eyes of some people..."

The Blackstone Hammer King quickly interrupted, "The most urgent task is to find out the truth of this matter as soon as possible!"

Barn: "Oh, I'm off topic again... Anyway, the apostle appearing above us is the worst case scenario. It's even more serious than what happened to Helloc. After all, Helloc didn't leave the Wailing Caverns... Although the monsters in the Wailing Caverns fled to avoid Helloc, causing great damage to the surrounding area, Helloc remained in the cave..."

The young swordsman gave the adventurer a good impression.

The only drawback is that he is too long-winded. Not only is he a bit talkative, but he also tends to get lost.

The Blackstone Hammer King quickly interrupted again: "What will happen if Rotus attacks the ground?"

Barn: "With the power of the apostles, the worst outcome is undoubtedly that the entire principality will become Rotus's puppets, ultimately causing a disaster that sweeps across Arad... This isn't just a problem for the principality; the situation is even more serious than we imagined!"

Soon after.

Queen Skadi's close confidant, the female ghost swordsman Lobach, also came after hearing the news.

Hyde said directly: "I suggest that an order be issued immediately to evacuate the citizens of all cities on the West Coast!"

"Oppose, this will be useless. If the apostle is parasitic on the Sky Curtain Beast, its power can cover the entire principality at any time. Evacuating now will only cause meaningless panic and chaos!"

The cold and beautiful female ghost swordsman said: "The only viable solution is to eliminate the apostles before the situation gets out of control!"

Baine sneered: "Haha... destroying the apostles... that's easy for you to say."

Ophelia: "I know this is a very difficult matter, and I'm deeply sorry for the undeserved disaster that has befallen the Principality... But now I have no choice. I must avenge the cultists... So I beg for your help!"

Robach said, "The GBL's tragedy could very well become a tragedy for everyone, so we must do everything in our power to prevent it from happening... I've just sent a request to the Queen. A batch of Magadha will soon be arriving on the west coast. With this flying vehicle, we can investigate the Sky Veil Beast."

Barn thought for a moment and nodded, "Sir Baloch, the Imperial Army will continue to assist you. This matter concerns the survival of the entire Arad. We absolutely cannot stand idly by."

Hyde: "We alone can't do this. We need to mobilize the forces of all adventurers."

The Black Stone Hammer King immediately stepped forward and said, "Captain Barn, Lord Baloch, and Miss Ophelia, please rest assured that I will do my best to fulfill my mission!"

This is the end.

The main storyline of Castle in the Sky has concluded.

The main storyline of Skyshroud Behemoth has officially begun.

The adventure in this secret realm will enter a new stage in the future. Multiple new copies, a new adventure and plot will unfold one by one over a long period of time, which will be enough for adventurers to explore for at least ten days or half a month.

The adventurers in Miracle City all felt their blood boiling.

"it is good!"

“It’s really one thing after another!”

"The changes in the Sky City haven't been fully investigated yet, and unexpectedly, another Sky Curtain Beast, Apostle Rotus, has appeared!"

"The continent of Arad is truly a paradise for us adventurers!"

"Go, go, go!"

"Kill Rotus!"

"I want to see what the apostles are capable of!"

"..."

Mengbai had never been to the continent of Arad before, but he had only been watching it for a little over an hour from now on, and he was completely shocked by everything about this continent.

Because the content and elements currently displayed by the continent of Arad are far richer than you can imagine!

She originally thought that one GSD and one Seghart were enough to prove the quality of this secret realm, but she didn't expect that strong men like Barn, Aganzo, and Lobach had also appeared.

These people must be masters of the same level as GSD!

There are obviously more than a few such masters in the continent of Arad. For example, Sharan, the president of the Magic Guild, and the other two of the Four Sword Masters are all top-notch masters.

If it were just that, that would be fine!

Now another apostle, Lotus, has appeared.

Judging from the fact that Rotus was able to instantly destroy and disintegrate the entire GBL religion, this power has reached at least the fifth level... The most important thing is that it does not exist in the background, but actually descends before the adventurer, becoming the target that the adventurer will challenge in the next stage!
The depth of Miracle City's heritage has reached an incredible and unimaginable level!

Although Mengbai really wanted to know what happened above the Sky Curtain Behemoth, the adventurers would definitely not be able to find a valid conclusion in a short time, and there were only two hours left before the dungeon closed.

Mengbai suppressed his curiosity and didn't continue reading.

Although the continent of Arad is very exciting, she can feel that the border area is no less impressive. This mysterious land also contains super-high-level power and even rare law-level power.

The most urgent thing is to use up the remaining energy.

As for the Arad Continent? This secret realm can be easily accessed in Thousand Lakes City. You can create a character when you have time. It's also quite common for an adventurer to explore two or three secret realms at the same time.
