While Angela was still thinking about how to get the kidnapper's attention and extract some information from him, the player's side also made a move.

Vera has earned the title of 'Acting Lord' and has access to a mandate, but there is only one quest that can be issued:

[Mission Name: Hey, it's time for you to bask in the sun]

[Quest content: The lords of the town have been kidnapped, and the evil creatures that roam the shadows have stretched out their filthy claws to the Church of the Game God!] Can you tolerate these guys behaving so insultingly? This is a blatant provocation, and what you have to do is to catch these stupid guys who only swim around in the shadows, and kill them, and dry them into dried salted fish! 】

[Mission requirements: Track down and rescue the kidnapped Angela within three days, and the mission will fail if Angela dies]

[Task rewards: According to the degree of completion, you can get a number of experience points, a number of game coins, 1~5 shadow embryos (you can take them to the blacksmith shop to build equipment), and shadow anglerfish head cover (dress-up)]

[Defeat Punishment: Angela's Opinion Drops Significantly]

[Note: Dried salted fish is more compatible with sunny days.] 】

Because Vera's system is not a lord system, when Sylvie patches her, she has to make a limit on this, and issuing tasks will cost her experience points.

But even so, Vera did not hesitate to mobilize most of the players in the town, except for the life players, and let them participate in the operation to save Angra, so that her level plummeted from level forty in the second echelon all the way to the early thirties.

It's a pity that Edward and his super first-line players have run out to open up the wasteland, and now they are quite far away from the resurrection stone, unless they commit suicide and return to the city, they can't catch up with the task at all.

The players who led the team this time were the best of the new generation, and the Simba team had a brilliant performance in the Crooks event.

Since the enemy is sneaking up on the shadow layer, the players initially target the shadow creatures.

Simba asks the town's alchemist, Miss Chinlen, the rumored fiancée of Lord Angela, for a bottle of shadow bait, which attracts many shadow creatures.

Then the players who had been prepared for a long time went up and grabbed a few shadow creatures that seemed to have some intelligence and interrogated them.

At first, the shadow creatures didn't have the intention of cooperating, and they felt that there was nothing the players on the main material plane could do with them.

However, after Shazu and Nana pulled the remaining shadow creatures together according to Simba's instructions, and after a wave of A fell in front of them, these shadow creatures who seemed to have witnessed a massacre immediately coaxed.

- After all, the player's skills are all damage granted by the law of skill, not physical or magical attacks in the true sense.

"Miss Vera, you may have been misled."

After integrating the confessions of several shadow creatures, Simba came to a conclusion after a little analysis.

"What?" Vera asked anxiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably not the shadow creatures who attacked you and kidnapped Mr. Angela." Simba said.

"No, it can't be!" Vera immediately retorted: "I saw them come out of the shadows with my own eyes!" ”

"Being able to enter the shadows doesn't mean that the other party is a shadow creature, in fact, players of the Shadow Blade class also have displacement skills that can temporarily sneak into the shadow layer if they take the Shadow Blade route."

Simba said with a pleasant face: "According to the information of those shadow creatures, those guys who captured Angela only sneaked in the shadow medium for a while, and then immediately floated back to the main material plane...... If they're really shadow creatures, they don't have to, just go all the way back to the lair from the shadow layer. ”

"But it's clear that the mission says that the shadow is ......," Speaking of which, Vera suddenly realized that the mission did not explicitly say that the enemy was a shadow creature.

"I once heard about it when I was begging in Lancaster," Shazu suddenly said in a loud voice, "Some countries will cultivate some shadow guards...... They are generally orphans adopted by nobles or royal families, and from an early age, they are soaked in a potion that causes their skin to stop growing, but their bodies continue to grow, so that by the time they are about 10 years old, their bodies will break through their skin like butterflies that have broken out of their cocoons, and emerge from their skin. ”

"Ordinary people would die quickly in such a situation, but because the potion soaked in those children also contained some kind of potion that could help them survive in such a situation, it is said that two or three out of ten people can live...... After that, the people who raised them would drape the fur of a freshly peeled shadow creature over the children, and feed them another potion, so that the fur would eventually grow on the children, giving them the ability to move freely in and out of the shadow layer, and they would hide in the shadows as sentries and guards to protect their targets. ”

What he said is not a secret, many high-level countries are afraid of the powerful churches, so they have secretly cultivated similar special soldiers to maintain their rule, many because of their outstanding achievements, they will even be packaged as national heroes for propaganda, except for the real country girl Vera, almost all of those present have heard a little.

It's just that Shazu is obviously eloquent, telling the story vividly, and spending hundreds of words to describe the terrifying scene when those people come out of their skins, and the pitiful appearance of the children who are forced to put on the skin of monsters and finally become inhuman and ghostly, which makes others feel very uncomfortable.

"In other words, this time it was the great nobles and even the ...... who did it to the lord Royalty? Vera frowned, and just when Simba thought she understood the seriousness of the matter, the girl then asked, "So what should we do?" Did you go and kidnap the emperor as a hostage? ”

"Ahem, no, not to mention that the time is too tight and you may not be able to catch up, even if you kidnap the emperor, you may not be able to replace Mr. Angela; And if it is a big nobleman who does it and has nothing to do with the emperor, then we will not only take risks in vain, but may even help the enemy, which is not very desirable. Simba immediately rejected her proposal.

"Then tie up the emperor and the big nobles!" The girl's eyes were fierce, and it seemed that Angela's kidnapping had indeed made her very angry.

"That's too much, it will push the Church of the Game God directly to the opposite side of the Walla Empire, in case those big churches stand on the side of Walla to crusade against us, it will be troublesome." Simba wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, we have roughly estimated the distance of those guys from the shadow layer, as long as we look for ruts and other traces at this distance, we should be able to find the direction where Mr. Angela was taken away......"
