Chapter 387: Mission
Investigators? That's not a lucky word...... Abner vomited, but instead of immediately following the ugly "bell ringer" in front of him into the lighthouse, Abner thought to himself:
In the original book, Klein accepted the commission of the "fat pharmacist" Darkwell, and arrived on Olavi Island with him and the "Dice of Probability" and met the "bell ringer" Kano.
And the identity of this "bell ringer" is also very complicated, he himself is a product of the human body of the Mother Earth God Church...... Well, the relatively failed kind, which doesn't even have the ability to have children.
He later defected to the School of Life and was assigned to the bell tower of the Church of San Draco as a "bell ringer......
In the original book, Klein speculated that the School of Life might have some connection to the Church of the Storm, which is why Kano would ring the bell here, and that was why the seriously injured School of Life Councilman, Rejord, would hide in the bridge near the church.
Looking at him just now, it didn't seem surprising to my arrival? So, what is the identity that this "Labyrinth Tower" has arranged for me? People from the School of Life? Well...... That shouldn't be called an investigator...... So, the people of the Storm Church?
At this time, seeing that Abner did not follow, Kano sneered and said, "Why, the investigators sent by the Church of the Storm are so cowardly? Strictly speaking, this lighthouse is also your territory...... Are you scared on your own turf? ”
Great, you know who I am...... But, Kano, shouldn't you be polite in front of me, the Mother God Church, a defector from the Mother God Church?
After a few words, Abner realized that the NPCs in this scene were very smart, and they were completely different from the mechanical and dull goods he encountered in the sixth layer of Beckland's scene, so he opened the "pure white eye" and took a closer look at Kano.
"It's different from the state of the previous emperor who really has a 'spirit', it's more like a subconscious 'projection'...... It's very similar to the people in the 'Sativa Horn' scene encountered on the seventh floor!
"Could it be that this is also something that is happening, or is about to happen?"
Just as Abner was making a rough judgment based on his own experience and knowledge, Kano said expressionlessly:
"I'm sensitive to psionic vision and spells like the 'Voyeur' Eye."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Carno." Abner politely apologized after closing the "pure white eye".
Kano nodded, accepting the apology, before continuing, "Can you come in with me now?" Oh, when did the people of the Storm Church become so cautious! ”
"And one last question...... "Abner asked earnestly, after a pause, "can you tell me today's date and the time it is." ”
"Did you drink too much?" Kano was stunned for a moment, but after muttering a sentence, he took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and replied, "Tuesday, October 16, 1349, twelve o'clock at noon." ”
"Sure enough, the events here may be playing out in the real world!" Abner glanced at his pocket watch and saw that the error had not taken more than a minute.
……
Olavi Island is located northeast of the Rorsted Islands, not too far from Byam.
It was originally a pristine island with many extraordinary creatures, uninhabited, and after the end of the hunting era, the Kingdom of Rune used it as a place of exile for some prisoners, allowing Olavi Island to gradually develop villages and towns, but the island still retains some of its original areas.
When the islands further east were discovered and colonized one by one, relying on the convenience of the waterway and the abundance of its own natural resources, it attracted many new immigrants and had a relatively prosperous port city.
Woo! Woo! With the whistle blowing, a brand-new steamer docks. Soon, dozens of passengers stepped off the ship with suitcases.
Among them, there is one woman who stands out in particular.
She looked to be in her twenties, with simple black hair and a pair of very characteristic blue-gray eyes, and wore a men's shirt and a thick brown jacket dressed as adventurers on the sea.
And she is notable not because of her appearance, but because she and her companions board a carriage with the coat of arms of the Levitt family, and the surname of Governor Olavi is "Levitt"!
On the carriage, the lady's companion hesitated for a moment, quietly blocked the surroundings with spirituality, and saw that the other party did not stop him, so he asked in a low voice
"Lady Dorela, do we have to work with Governor Olawe? That way, even if we enter that ruin, we won't get too much benefit......
The lady with blue-gray eyes glanced at him, shook her head, and said, "Solo, you must know that Auston's elder brother is the supreme naval commander of the Central Sunian Sea, Admiral Emilius Livitt, the 'weaver', and that is a real demigod!" Without Auston, we wouldn't have gotten any way close to the ruins. ”
Governor Olawe's full name is Auston Levitt, and Lady Dorella calls him by his first name, indicating that they had a good relationship before, and may even be close...... It's this relationship that makes us qualified to be part of this...... When the man named Solo heard this, he withdrew the blockade and said no more.
The carriage soon stopped at the back door of the Governor's Palace, and as soon as they got out of the car, a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes stepped forward, first warmly embraced Lady Dorela, and then politely greeted Solo, before introducing the two of them into the Governor's Palace.
After arranging for Solo to rest in another room, Auston took Ms. Dorela's hand and said with emotion, "Latisia, how long have we not seen each other?" ”
Ms. Latisia Doreira smiled, did not answer the other person's question, nor did she refuse the other's closeness.
……
On the fifth floor of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", Abner followed Kano the "Bell Ringer" into a cramped room in the bell tower, where there was only a bed and a cabinet that could be used as a dining table, and the bathroom was on the ground floor of the bell tower......
Wait, why should I care about where the bathroom is? Abner complained in his heart, and then saw Kano take out a hand-drawn map from the cupboard, hand it to Abner, and say:
"You know the general situation, so I won't go into details......
"Anyway, your mission is to find and enter the ruins and learn as much as you can about its origins.
"Of course, if there are really any treasures in the ruins, you must try to bring them back, and you can't cheapen others."
So that's Mission 1 and Mission 2? Well, it has a bit of an "immersive" feel, unlike the previous layer, which is completely like a game......
However, I don't know the situation at all, and you'll have to do your job as a quest NPC! Thinking of this, Abner simulated the "majesty" of Hugh and said expressionlessly: "Please also complete your duties and explain them in detail." ”
Kano was shocked by it, and after muttering a few words secretly, he replied:
"Since a month ago, there have been frequent accidents in the sea area north of the island, and now no one dares to approach it...... If it hadn't been for the Governor's Palace's order to block the news, the rumors of a demonic curse would have spread there long ago.
"According to Congressman Jored's observations, the 'fate' near that area is very chaotic. Once you get closer, you will sometimes be 'lucky', sometimes 'doom', and quickly move towards different life endings...... But most of the time it didn't end well......
"The Governor's Mansion has organized an expedition, and only a few people have returned safely, but their fates have been deflected to varying degrees, and I am afraid that they will be haunted by bad luck in the future!
"Admiral Emilius later probed for himself, but also returned to no avail."
Admiral Emilius? The unlucky demigod who was disguised by Klein as a stand-in for three days, killed his mistress, injured his subordinates, and removed his brother?
It couldn't be because of this exploration that he was so unlucky?
However, where the demigods are helpless, can I really get in smoothly? There's something wrong with this mission, right?
Abner thought so, and asked.
"You don't have to worry too much, according to Councilman Jored's observation, it is actually an underwater ruin that is about to appear in the real world, and by tomorrow night, there should be a stable passage." Kano said and pointed to the map, which indicated where the passage might be.
"In that case...... Then why didn't the Admiral wait for the passage to appear and go again? Abner asked curiously.
Kano gave him a strange look and replied, "Isn't this a tacit understanding between the Governor's Mansion and the Storm Church?" At that time, the demigods will not intervene, nor will they send their descendants, but will find their own 'investigators' to explore, so as not to hurt the harmony because of something. ”
So, the so-called "investigator" is actually an "agent", right? Well, I probably don't know what dangers are in the ruins, so let the "investigators" be cannon fodder to explore the way......
