140. No, we failed
The candle is yellowish in color and appears to have been used for a while, and the charred wick can be seen.
[A special candle, its production process is very complicated, at least in this world can not be made, besides, it is better not to try to light it, unless you really want to die! 】
In the field of vision, bright red words emerged from the wick of the candle, like an illusory flame.
Qiao Du took a picture in the common drawer, but found no lighter.
It's normal, the editorial office is non-smoking, whether it is Su Hong or Qiao Duan, they don't have the habit of smoking, so naturally it is impossible to find a lighter so easily.
Qiao Du went downstairs, bought a lighter at the convenience store outside, and tried to light a candle on the spot.
Isn't it just a candle that can be lit to summon a dark archmage?
But he soon discovered that no matter how much the flame of the lighter touched the wick, it could not be lit.
Unlike the previous [Dating Manual], this candle did not infuse the relevant usage methods into Qiao Dui's mind when touched.
"Weird."
Although it seems that Qiao Twilight has been scammed.
But when he thought about it, this thing could be said to be more weird than other commodities, and he made a lot of money.
Win!
Qiao Du returned to the editorial office with the candle and exchanged it for [Wild Survival Canned].
Although this thing seems to be mysterious, Qiao Dui, who has been to the school city, knows that this can is made of those gray insects at best, and there is no problem in eating it.
Five cans appeared in front of him.
I looked at it, and sure enough, there was no production date and expiration date, and even the taste was not written.
Twilight put it in her bag and stuffed it with survival items like a flashlight and a pickaxe.
I don't know if these things will come in handy in the Valley of the Wind.
Originally, Qiao Twilight also wanted to buy the [revolver that was destined to sound] to defend herself, but when she thought that this was a foreign land, a small pistol probably didn't have much effect, and it was not as practical as Qiao Twilight herself summoning a coffin incinerator or something to smash people.
Get ready, Twilight feels like it's time to hit the road.
It's time to get on the task.
The mottled cracks on the walls make up the oppressive and frantic text of the system.
【Whether to enter the game】
[Yes] [No]
Twilight reached out and tried to grasp the illusory lines in it.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in, strong enough to tip the trees and capsize the ships, but the house was quiet, as if everything was just a hallucination.
And with that came the smell of the earth, the pain of the raindrops on his face, the roar of thunder, and the low whimper of some kind of giant beast from the sky that Jo Twilight had never heard before.
[Out of the Thunderstorm: 0/1]
[Defeat Opponent: 0/1]
【Let the Storm Clear: 0/1】
【Quest Begins】
【Players, please close your eyes】
So Qiao Du closed her eyes.
He heard the song of the beast that seemed to come from eternity, echoing in the ravines of his brain, he heard the wind blowing the leaves, the crisp sound of the raindrops falling on the rocks, he heard the sound of certain prayers, which resounded back on the wooden walls, with a certain decaying color.
At this time, Qiao Du suddenly remembered that it seemed that after choosing the mission this time, he had not heard the whispers from the Valley of the Wind.
However, time no longer waits for him.
Boom –
A thunderclap exploded, causing Jo Twilight to open her eyes.
He saw the storm converge.
Above the sky, the dark clouds swirled and gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the midst of it, dark purple lightning and thunder were intertwined, and the raindrops of beans hit his face, bringing bursts of pain, and the wind blew his clothes to hunt, and it was extremely difficult to maintain a standing posture, as if the next moment it would be blown away and fall into the endless abyss.
"Do you want to die?"
Qiao Dui's hand was suddenly grasped, and he was dragged into a door, and then, with great difficulty, the man who pulled him had to close the wooden door and lock the latch.
The room was dark and windowless, and the sound of the storm outside was transmitted through the wooden walls, making the heart palpitate.
Qiao Twilight found that the glow in the room was a stone, and the light was as cold as the moon.
Illuminates the situation in the house.
He only noticed that it was a space similar to a ship's cabin.
In addition to Qiao Du herself, there are two other people.
One of them was the man who had just pulled himself back, a young man, only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a lean build, and obviously a man who often worked in the sun and rain.
The other man was a little older, in his thirties, with a scultbled beard and deep eyebrows, he wore a white coarse cloth shirt and held two gray stone balls in his hands, which seemed to control the movement of the ship.
"Don't panic, it's already on the brink of a storm, and we'll be able to leave soon."
The man in control of the ship spoke, and then rubbed his hands against the stone, and as he moved, the angle of the cabin changed, and a jolt came, as if the impact of the place was about to fall apart completely.
Twilight and the young man could only hold onto the pole in the cabin to keep their balance.
Thunder, wind, showers, accompanied by a low roar that spread from afar, I don't know how long it took, with the tremor that enveloped the entire cabin reached its peak, and suddenly, like a sage time suddenly, the whole space fell silent.
"It's out."
Said the man in control of the boat.
Qiao Du saw the young man unlock the door and push open the oiled wooden door, and a ray of sunlight shone in.
Following the other party out, Qiao Du saw a sea of clouds.
There is no land, and the ship is traveling on the clouds.
The streamlined hull has no traditional sails and rudders, the propeller is like a falling raindrop, the bow is slender, the stern is slightly larger, and there is no debris on the deck.
Ahead, there was an endless sea of clouds, and those scenes that could only be seen by plane in Qiao Dui's world were at his feet at this moment.
Boom –
A thunderclap exploded again, but it seemed extremely distant.
When Jotwilight looked back, he saw a dark storm cloud swirling behind the ship, with no end in sight, and below it was endless torrential rain and lightning that snaked like a dragon.
"We succeeded?"
Qiao Du subconsciously asked, is this task so simple, she successfully crossed the thunderstorm and completed the task as soon as she came?
"No, we failed."
The captain's voice came from behind Qiao Dui, his face solemn, and there was a sadness between his eyebrows.
"This is just one of the storms that have gathered in this empty sea, and the thunderstorm we really have to cross is far hundreds or thousands of times larger than the size of this storm."
He gestured ahead.
Qiao Du looked into the distance, and he saw that at the "horizon", that is, the junction of the clouds and the sky, was a black band.
"That's the hundred-year-old storm that has trapped Hongdao, which we call the curtain of the world."
