"Reaching the Ending: 'It Doesn't Get Worse Than This'"

"Evaluation: You not only eliminated the crisis in Nighttown, but also eliminated Nighttown."

"Score: 15"

Looking at this result, Philo couldn't say a word for a long time, until Cha Cha's voice woke him up.

"Do you want to make the data public?"

Philo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously chose to hide.

What are you kidding, this achievement is already shameful enough, do you want to make it public for others to laugh at......

"Reminder: Your current position is number one, do you want to continue to choose to hide?"

What the?

The first place?

Philo was stunned again.

"Are you mistaken, really number one?" He couldn't help but ask.

However there was no response.

This must be some kind of response from a magic golem that he just used the wrong password......

So Fello said, "Open data." ”

"Your results have been uploaded, and you are currently ranked 1st on the leaderboard, and the current reward is 1st tier: 1000 gold. Note: The list is not final and may fluctuate at any time, please pay attention to check. ”

Fello glanced at the full list, and except for his team's 15 points, there wasn't even a double-digit ......

Below him happens to be a group of people led by Samuel, with 9 points......

That's hard for everyone......

Philo didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but anyway, he was in a better mood.

------------------

In Professor Dawn's cabin, the old man's nanny, Alice, brought the two of them the coffee she had brewed, and took the pipe that Dawn had hidden in his cane.

Seeing her walk out of the room, the old professor coughed, and Mu Yan took out the things that had been prepared a long time ago.

This is the specialty he brought from the windswept firmament, the tobacco grown by the druids.

Several people, including Igor and Ymir, are big smokers, and almost all day begging Freya to give birth to more. As a legendary mage who has mastered the "cultivation technique", Mu Yan is naturally indispensable to be entrusted and fill some of his pockets.

Carefully ordering the rolled tobacco leaves, Professor Dawn took a hard puff and exhaled a smoke ring with a satisfied expression.

"Why are you suddenly interested in Philo boy?" He asked.

Mu Yan moved his fingers, dragged the smoke over, condensed it into a ribbon, and played with it at his fingertips.

"I came into contact with him a month ago and thought he was a very interesting person." He replied.

In fact, he looked at yesterday's record sheet, and Philo and his friends scored the first-ever "True Ending" with a double-digit score. As for the others, it's not even clear what the real conspiracy is in the dungeon.

"Interesting? I don't think he's 'funny' with you. The old professor scolded with a smile.

Ever since Mu Yan changed his tricks and refused to let him see Eric, the old man has been like this.

However, the old man groaned for a moment, and then opened his mouth after exhaling the second smoke ring.

"Philo...... I have a little impression of this kid. He was the smartest of His Majesty Lawrence's children, and of course, interesting.

"A long time ago, when he was only twelve years old, he was sent to me. You know, the royal family likes to send their children to me like to follow me for a week, which is unrealistic. But this kid is different, he is very mature, even overcooked.

"After he stayed for a week, he suddenly asked me how I could become a good emperor."

"How do you answer?"

Dawn smiled, "I thought it was a well-fed minister who tricked the child into testing my attitude towards choosing an heir, so he didn't answer, waved his hand to let him leave, but this guy sat down and didn't leave, saying that if I didn't answer, he wouldn't leave." I thought about it for a while and told him that Jialan has no emperors, and Jialan only has mages who seek the truth.

"'What's the use of having a king?' The kid asked.

"'A mage's time is precious, and a mage's energy is limited. So they would take in apprentices to assist in magical experiments, and the experiments needed materials, which came from the vast wilderness and magical beasts, and for this they hired adventurers to collect them for themselves. Whether it is an apprentice or an adventurer, there are families behind these people, there are other people, and these people will contact more people when they expand outward, so for each mage with infinite scenery, his social circle is like a frost flower on the frozen soil, only a few centimeters high on the surface of the small blue flower, but the root system stretches more than ten meters under the mud, and after it is completely planed out, you can see that the tubers weighing several catties on the root system provide nutrients, which is exchanged for the brilliance on the ground.

"And Jialan, the most beautiful flower garden in Lokan, is planted here with the most beautiful frost flowers in Lokan, and everyone envies the noble and dignified light blue flowers, but no one envies the unknown tubers underground." I didn't expect him to understand immediately.

"But the little fellow thought, 'So is the king these tubers?' He then asked.

"'Yes, it's not just the king, we're all the tubers, and the king is just the biggest of them. His scenery is completely overshadowed by these flowers, and he cannot be called an emperor, at best he can only be counted as a manager of the tuber. So now, do you still want to be a manager? I asked him rhetorically.

He seemed to hesitate for a long time before he seemed to have made some big decision, stood up and bowed to me, and then left. Interestingly, he didn't show any frustration, it was that calm look that made me amused. ”

The old man recalled.

"There's such a story...... Mu Yan muttered, and then asked, "Then did he show anything good in the combat field?" ”

"You're asking the wrong person, after all, I'm not his mentor...... Speaking of which, the kid was very close to Desmond, and they also formed a student organization, eh...... The name is taken from a gang of thieves called the Brotherhood during the city-state period. ”

"Brotherhood?"

Mu Yan suddenly screamed.

"Huh? Did you know that too? ”

"No, it feels awkward when you hear it."

"yes, I think so too." The old man smiled, "In the past, such a filthy and dark synonym was given the doctrine of loyalty and unity by them, but the fundamental purpose was for personal selfish desires...... "The old man smiled noncommittally, and stopped at the point.

Mu Yan didn't ask much.

He pondered what he had learned about the Brotherhood, and the information was pitiful.

In the game, players have very little contact with the Brotherhood, because the predecessor of the Brotherhood is Shadow Footsteps, in other words, the Brotherhood is really known as a full-fledged organization in the Horse Plain after the fall of the Shadow Footsteps.

As for how the latter came to an end, it's also a mystery, involving some of the most difficult and unique mysterious missions that only a few players know about, and if they don't want to tell it, it becomes a secret.

The fact is also the same, Mu Yan has been checking for a long time and has found nothing.

But he knows one thing very well, that is, Jialan has not changed kings for a long time, that is, Lawrence II has been alive from the year of the new leaf to the game, and the leader of the Brotherhood is also Desmond, not His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

What's going on? Could it be that Desmond killed Fello? But why? It sounds like the two have a good relationship......

He suddenly remembered that when Mr. Zha gave him the notebook as a gift, he triggered certain tasks, which he described at the time:

"It was last seen in the hands of Desmond, the leader of the Brotherhood, a prominent killer organization in the human world, and has been missing since then. It is said that the mission they sent Slark to the Morgan Sea was also related to the Pure White Sphere. ”

Among them, "it" refers to the pure white ball - and this thing, Mu Yan didn't understand before, but now it is very clear. It is related to the power of faith, that is to say, the pure white ball is a large experience ball, which is enough for an ordinary person to be raised to level 85 or above in one go, and become an existence comparable to the level of Isu and Garden.

And it stayed in the hands of Calypso, the god of the sea, for a long time.

At this point in time, Calypso and Isu have not fallen out, both are nominally Ikali's followers, but the difference is that Calypso is getting closer and closer to the direction of Garden, and the two have also made unknown transactions in private, the most famous of which is Etus.

Garden's follower, the Fire Demon Etus, was once a Tidehunter priest who resembled the male Sirens of the deep sea, and he was the most loyal of the followers of Calypso. Lord Etus brought the damp sea breeze to Suffron, and he took care of Suffron's housework, big and small, and it was a real deal for Garden.

Although he didn't ask in detail, Mu Yan could probably guess what Garton had exchanged for Etus.

Eighty percent is a piece of information, extremely important information.

Calypso's beliefs come from the tribes of the Seven Seas, and the Endless Sea is far from the interior and has nothing to do with Isu, the lord of the "inland waters". So Poseidon must have learned from Garden that Ikari was imprisoned in the net, so the sword of Darkmo, which hung high above her head, instantly turned into an ornament welded to the wall, and she became unscrupulous.

Ikali's gods are far more than the four elemental gods and the five Calypso, the mountains and rivers, the wind, thunder and lightning, and even the monsoon winds that surround the plains of the horses can all be attributed to her, but they disappear one by one, and even the most resilient of the ancients, Watson, has become a primitive puppet who has lost his mind......

Perhaps it is because of this that the Elemental Tower has tricked humans into stealing the Pure White Orb from the Endless Sea. Calypso, who had lost a lot of power, was unable to manage Nanami and was injured by Yso, after which Nanami was slaughtered by the Sea Witch......

This is the history of the game, and in this way, it becomes clear that it is still part of the War of Faith, and the winner is Ikali.

But there is also something that is still unclear, who is Slark who plays an important role in this......

After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Yan planned to go back and ask Teacher Zha where he got the news of the pure white ball.

……

Back in the apartment, Grace was braiding Amacer's hair, and it was evident that the lady was idle, and that she had not coveted the elf's beautiful silver hair for a day or two, just as a painter was eager to try it when he saw a white canvas.

"Where's Mr. Damian?" Mu Yan asked.

Grace yelled at the kitchen Nunu.

It turned out that the head of the family was exercising his great power to bathe the dishes......

Mu Yan glanced at Amacer with sympathy, under Grace's skillful hands, the elf's silver hair was braided into three different shapes, and from the back it looked like a princess about to wear a crystal crown.

"Come on."

He gestured in exchange for a roll of the elf's eyes.

After coming to the kitchen to explain his intentions, the head of the family secretly looked outside, and confirmed that his wife was busy braiding and had no time to take care of himself, so he pulled out a soft water element from the water, stuffed the dishes and chopsticks into it, and dragged Mu Yan into the kitchen.
