Chapter 127 Dome Night Banquet, Increasing Task Progress

Several days have passed since the incident on Lighthouse Island, and everything has returned to normal.

But Li Feng sometimes felt uneasy. When he went out, he would occasionally deliberately take a detour to see the abandoned lighthouse island from a distance.

It was overgrown with grass, the lighthouse was dilapidated, and nothing looked as it should.

If they meet people who live nearby, Li Feng and Xia will also make inquiries and ask sideways if anything strange has happened.

However, judging from the observations in the past few days, the lighthouse island has been calm and calm without any abnormalities.

No one has encountered a ghost-like illusion like Li Feng and Xia.

After paying attention for several days, no problem was found. Li Feng decided not to explore the matter anymore out of rationality and prudentness.

Many times, the more you know, the more dangerous you are.

And he has more important things to do at the moment.

The first is to use the talent of finding fishing spots every day to hunt for the secret treasures of extraordinary creature fusion in the offshore.

The second is to find clues about the gargoyle mentioned in the system mission.

But just when he had forgotten about Lighthouse Island and was concentrating on these two things, he heard Sia telling the story written by the troll.

The story is about the thunder eel.

It was probably because they had experienced the lighthouse island and the abnormal appearance of thunder eels in the offshore waters together, so when Shia saw something related to the thunder eels, she thought about telling Li Feng.

In the story told by Shia, the troll described the thunder eel as an evil elf in the sea.

They are guards who specialize in helping gargoyles and guarding the treasures they hide under the sea.

Gargoyle?

Li Feng was shocked when Leng Buding heard this word.

He never expected to find something that he had been searching for for many days but had no clues about.

It is actually related to the thunder eel seen on the strange lighthouse island.

'Gargoyles, undersea treasures, thunder eels, guards...'

With these words in his mind, Li Feng couldn't help but recall the corpses of lightning moray eels he saw floating on the sea surface that day on the lighthouse island under abnormal circumstances.

"What else is said in the story?"

Li Feng asked immediately.

While talking, the sunset was about to recede.

He and Shia passed through the side entrance of Storm's End side by side and walked towards the garden behind the castle.

In Xia's subsequent narration, Li Feng roughly understood.

In troll history, they believe that countless epochs ago, the Endless Sea was originally an entire continent.

But because of the war between the dragon and the lava lord, the continent was shattered into countless pieces, and the sea water followed.

Those continents that were as broken as duckweeds were submerged by the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Along with the continent, there are countless unknown secrets that sank to the bottom of the sea.

Gargoyle is one of them.

Hearing this, Li Feng suddenly remembered whether this was how the undersea city that the mermaid had taken away came from.

But this is the story, and it doesn’t sound very rigorous.

Looking at the last trace of sunset on the horizon, Li Feng asked Xia:

"Is the war between the dragon and the lava lord real?"

Being able to knock the entire continent into pieces, Li Feng couldn't imagine how powerful the dragons and lava lords back then were.

"I don't know about that."

Sia shook her head and expressed her helplessness:

"Actually, I have been staying in human society since the Black Dragon Clan was exterminated, and I don't know much about the history of the Giant Dragon Clan."

Li Feng nodded.

Regardless of whether the troll story is true or not, if the gargoyles are indeed creatures from countless epochs ago.

So due to the lack of historical data and the relationship between sinking into the sea, gargoyles must be extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, this system promotion task is really impossible to complete as the official players said.

But just when Li Feng was about to stop looking like him, the system interface suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Hunter promotion mission: Investigate gargoyles and kill the mother of gargoyles. 】

[Task Tips: Storm's End]

[Task reward: Promote another level to the original hunter level. 】

[Task progress: 2%]

Looking at the task progress prompted by the system in front of him, Li Feng couldn't help but pause.

‘After listening to the story just now, the task progress increased. It seems that the troll’s story is true. ’

I heard from Sia that the storybook written by the troll is still very long, and she only read the beginning last night.

Li Feng hesitated about his plan and asked Xia to continue reading the rest.

And I tried my best to find some books about trolls in the Bachelor's Tower.

Regardless of whether he completes the system tasks or not, the troll's story is believable, so you might as well give it a look.

The sun sets in the west, and the night sky is like a black velvet curtain, covering the sky.

While Li Feng and Xia continued to discuss the story of the troll, Shirley, Xia's maid, walked up from the garden.

The bright courtyard street lamp illuminated Shirley's plump lips, thick hair, and unforgettable figure.

Her eyes first turned to Li Feng from a distance, then she walked to Xia and said in a charming voice:

"Miss, Mr. Rhine, the Governor has an invitation at the sky restaurant."

After conveying the governor's message, Shirley led the way for the two of them.

Li Feng and Xia looked at each other and paused their previous conversation.

With the last rays of sunset and the bright courtyard lights of Storm's End.

Li Feng and Shia followed Shirley through the garden, through the corridor, and under the coral tower on the south side of Storm's End Castle.

The Coral Tower was a place for the entertainment of the governors, their families, and guests.

The tower has a snow-white exterior wall, but under the windowsills of layers of arched stained glass, there are huge coral-red flags.

The most talked-about thing about this tower is the sky restaurant located on the top floor.

Seeing Li Feng and Xia walking in from a distance, the guards standing guard under the coral tower opened the door for them.

But at this time, Shirley took the lead, walked to Sia, and whispered to her:

"Miss, Miss Elena seems very angry today, you should be careful."

Although Shirley said this to Xia in a low voice, it still fell on the ears of Li Feng, who had sensitive hearing.

The Elena mentioned in Shirley's words is, like the real Sia, an illegitimate daughter of the governor.

According to their apparent relationship, they should be half-sisters.

Feeling curious, Li Feng asked Xia what was going on through the contract.

But Shia seemed unwilling to say more. She simply replied that it was okay, and quickly walked up the stairs of the Coral Tower.

'Strange, why is she so angry? ’

Li Feng was puzzled, thinking that it was probably a war between girls, so he didn't ask any more questions.

On the top of Coral Tower, the sky restaurant of Storm's End.

The reason why people talk about this place is because the four walls on the first floor and the roof are all made of a strange crystal.

This kind of crystal is very transparent, but in the middle of the crystal, there are still minerals that are evenly distributed and can reflect light.

At night, under the bright lights in the room, those minerals look like stars in the sky right in front of you.

Sitting here to eat is like being in the sky.

This is why the owner of Storm's End a hundred years ago named it the Sky Restaurant.

If it weren't for the extraordinary existence in this world, Li Feng would never have imagined that such a magnificent building could be built in a world with such backward technology.

A snow-white embroidered silk tablecloth is spread on the expensive dining table, and placed on the silk tablecloth are blooming lilies, sterling silver tableware, and bone china dishes.

Tomorrow is the traditional hunting day on Storm Island. In the next three days, the nobles will go into the mountains and forests to hunt.

This commemorates the ancestors who first cultivated this island.

And tonight, Governor Penros Fair held a banquet here.

Invite qualified nobles in Wind Breeze City to celebrate this year's Hunting Day.

"Mr. Rhine, where have you been today? I went to the Bachelor's Tower early in the morning to look for you, but they told me that you left earlier."

After the banquet started, everyone took their seats.

Because Li Feng had a personal title from the kingdom, according to etiquette, he sat at the first long table under the governor.

He sat with the governor's retainers and the governor's numerous children.

The person talking to Li Feng at this moment was Elena Feir who was sitting next to him.

It was the young lady that Shirley reminded Shia to pay attention to just now.

Except for the seeming conflict between her and Xia, Li Feng was quite impressed with this girl before.

Because Elena is very fond of his title as a free man in front of the Sea Throne, and thinks he is qualified enough to be her husband.

This made Li Feng very speechless.

In fact, Elena, like the real Shia, is the illegitimate daughter of Governor Penros Fair.

But unlike Xia, her mother's family was a powerful noble in Wind's End City.

Li Feng also discovered after entering Storm's End Castle that although they were both members of the governor's family, the status gap between them was simply too great.

Li Feng and Xia went out every day these days, and Xia only had a few ordinary cotton clothes coming back and forth.

The hairpin is also very ordinary without any decoration. As for the jewelry that young girls have, she seems to only have one necklace.

But the Elena in front of her was different, although she was far from Sia in terms of appearance.

But she wears silk dresses decorated with pearls and gems every day, her permed hair is exquisitely pulled back, and her hair accessories are extremely luxurious.

However, she and her mother were mean and snobbish, and Li Feng was reluctant to deal with her.

"Yes, I went out for something."

Li Feng replied politely and coldly.

But just when Elena wanted to ask something more, the governor sitting at the top spoke.

"Rhine, I heard recently that you go out with Sia every day?"

Governor Fell's tone was casual, as if he was just asking a casual question.

But Li Feng understood the meaning of his words. After all, in the governor's opinion, how could two people who didn't know each other get so close in such a short period of time.

After hearing this, Elena also looked at Li Feng with great concern, probably also waiting for an answer.

"Is such that."

Li Feng, who knew that this day would definitely come, had already prepared the answer. He smiled as usual:

"Because I am very curious about divination, so I have been learning divination from Miss Shia during this time."

As he spoke, he glanced at Sia kindly, as if thanking her for her teaching during this period.

Si Ya, who was sitting on the other side of the dining table, was surprised to find that she was not surprised at all when she heard Li Feng's lie.

Without him, I'm used to it.

"Oh, is it so?"

The governor pretended to be doubtful and asked with a smile:

"I heard that divination requires a quiet ceremony and a crystal ball.

But you and Sia are outside every day, and the market is crowded and noisy. I'm curious, is that kind of environment conducive to divination? "

The governor's tone was kind and teasing, like a father who was concerned about his daughter being kidnapped every day.

He used his father's identity to test the news, which made Xia feel very disgusted.

"Because I am learning how to divine the place where I can catch fish."

Li Feng pretended to be a little embarrassed and answered the governor with a smile:

"I heard from Miss Xia that divination is a very complicated subject.

If you want to learn, you have to start from the simplest divination location. In order to verify the correctness of divination, I am learning to divine fishing spots."

The governor was a little surprised to hear this answer, but after thinking for a moment, it seemed that there was nothing inconsistent with his investigation.

He sent people to follow Li Feng and Xia every day. From the spies, he did learn that Li Feng and Xia were fishing every day.

And they could catch fish in different places every day.

This abnormal behavior made the governor puzzled. He had long wanted to try Li Feng, but he didn't want to appear too deliberate.

It just so happened that there was a banquet today, and what was even more coincidental was that Elena's question just now actually gave him a good start, so he took the opportunity to ask.

The answer he got was unexpected, but it was also reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Elena was very dissatisfied with Li Feng's answer.

She immediately said in a delicate voice:

"But Mr. Rhine, since you are just learning divination, why do you always go out for so long?"

Although Elena said this to Li Feng, she glanced at Xia with her eyes.

The meaning of the words seemed to be to tell everyone present that it was Xia who seduced Li Feng and took him out for so long every day.

As soon as this was said, the people at the same table with them were all smart people, and naturally heard the meaning.

Some of them agreed, some covered their mouths and gloated, and some had nothing to do with it.

But what was very consistent was that no one spoke for Xia, who was unpopular and marginalized.

Seeing this, Li Feng sighed that the war between women was too terrible, and then said that he wanted to learn more about divination.

But Elena, who had achieved her goal, immediately changed the subject.

She began to pull Li Feng to talk about topics such as rare gems, precious silk, and gorgeous carriages.

In short, the things she talked about were all things she could show off and that Xia didn't have.

As for Xia, who was sitting diagonally opposite, Li Feng could feel that she rolled her eyes countless times during the meal.

...

A great thinker once said that people are the sum of social relationships, and you can't get rid of this or that social relationship in life.

Li Feng now knows this well.

Even though he doesn't like such occasions very much, and as a player, he even thinks that such occasions are a waste of time and consume life.

But for the sake of his subsequent identity and life, he can only participate.

And what's more terrible is that you can't be rude and neglectful, and you have to use your social awesomeness to mix like a fish in water in such a waste of life.

It was like forcing yourself to work overtime for free with full of positive energy for a job.

But fortunately, all good things must come to an end, and the banquet was finally coming to an end.

When the bright moon rose to the zenith and appeared above everyone's head through the crystal dome of the sky restaurant.

Governor Fell finally gave a speech, thanked everyone for coming, and announced the successful end of the banquet.

As the governor stood up, everyone stood up and saluted to thank the governor.

Li Feng only heard a "sizzling" sound of clothes being torn diagonally opposite the long table where he was.

This sound resounded throughout the hall while everyone solemnly saluted the governor, and it was extremely harsh.

The next moment.

Li Feng suddenly noticed that Elena beside him laughed softly.
