Chapter 145: One Hour, How Is that Possible?

The midsummer sun bakes the earth, and the cicadas chirp endlessly.

In a courtyard guarded by guards, an inconspicuous black cat jumped silently from a tree.

It moved lightly through the guarded corridor, and although it attracted a few glances, no one was competing with a black cat in the hot season.

In this way, Shia, in the form of a cat, went to Storm's End Castle, the inn where the Violet Eyes envoy lived, the Purple Flower Church, and also followed a carriage in the Ring of the Earth.

After a round of inquiries, she learned a lot of things, and more importantly, she found out the attitudes of various forces towards the Theater of Sadness that had already appeared.

Following the crowds who rushed to watch the excitement, Shia returned to the abandoned lighthouse island in the dock area of ​​Storm's End.

Li Feng is waiting there now.

In order to gather information conveniently, Shia transformed into a cat form.

But now the dock area is extremely crowded. People from Wind's End City and those living near the city all come to see the tower that suddenly appeared last night.

This made Sia completely understand the disadvantages of short legs.

At the moment, in the cat's golden eyes, it's all legs and feet.

Needless to say, it smelled like summer sweat, and during the journey, Shia was stepped on numerous times by the crowds of people.

After an arduous journey, she finally squeezed to Li Feng's side.

"Everything has been checked."

Xia said to Li Feng through the contract.

As she spoke, she stretched her cat's neck, wanting to take a look at the Theater of Sorrow ahead and the various forces guarding it.

But unfortunately, he is too short, and if he cranes his neck, he can only see densely packed legs.

Just when she was helpless, Sia suddenly felt someone grabbing her front legs under the armpits and picking her up.

She was startled and was about to break free, but she suddenly looked up and saw that the person holding her up was Li Feng.

Realizing that it was Li Feng, Xia didn't resist anymore and let Li Feng put her on his arm.

As she was lifted off the ground, Sia suddenly felt that the air was better, her vision broadened, and she could also see the Theater of Sadness in front of her.

‘Hey, why is this human being so nice to me today? ’

Xia raised her cat's head and looked at Li Feng, muttering in her heart.

Although I have been with him every day for the past half month, the relationship between the two of them is usually very distant.

'Furthermore, this human being is different from men in estrus of his own age. He has a distant etiquette towards everyone.

Even though we experienced danger together, killed people together, and kept secrets together, I didn't see him being special to me or thinking about me.

But what happened today? ’

Xia was confused, and then she suddenly guessed:

‘Is it because... I turned into a cat today? ’

When she thought of this, Xia's heart was in confusion.

"What was the reaction from the Governor's side?"

Just now, Li Feng saw Xia turning into a black cat and squeezing through the crowd. She could not see anything even if she stretched her cat's neck.

Looking at the little furry thing anxiously and helplessly, Li Feng, who loves cats too much, couldn't help but pick her up and get her out of the harsh environment on the ground.

Then start asking him the questions he cares about most.

As a lost place sunk under the sea, the Theater of Sorrow has attracted the attention of various forces since its emergence.

Violet Eyes is one of them.

But as a force that does not belong to Storm Island, if they can visit at this time, they must have obtained the king's will in the royal city.

Otherwise, Governor Penros Fair would never let them land on the island so easily, let alone let them get close to the Theater of Sorrow.

But for the king, although he was sure that Violet Eyes would intervene, he would not let it go.

Violet Eyes are loyal to the king, but are not under his control.

In the final analysis, they are not a royal force, and the king cannot trust them.

At this time, the power of the king's relatives-the Ring of the Earth is needed.

So at this moment, not only were the Violet Eyes Spellweavers guarding the Theater of Sorrow, but among the other guards, Li Feng could also see acquaintances from the Ring of Earth.

As for the Purple Flower Church, they are a folk organization of extraordinary beings in Wind's Breath City.

Compared with other forces, the Purple Flower Church is weak, but they will definitely take part in extraordinary events that occur locally.

But it’s hard to say how much influence it can have and how deeply it can be involved.

Li Feng knew the Purple Flower Church, and among these forces, he felt most at ease with the church.

Finally, among these forces, it was Storm's End that Li Feng was most uncertain about.

For Governor Fehr, a legendary lost land suddenly appeared at his doorstep.

This place contains unknown dangers, but it is also full of unknown opportunities, and at the same time it attracts prying eyes from all sides...

So how should Governor Penros Fell react?

Li Feng was concerned about the governor's reaction.

Because one day in the future, when their superficial peace cannot be maintained and all the methods they have used are put on the table, they will have no choice but to die.

"From what I heard, there was no special reaction from the Governor. Everything was going as planned."

Xia, who was lying on Li Feng's arm, no longer thought about anything else and only concentrated on talking to Li Feng about business.

"No special reaction?"

Li Feng felt a little strange. Governor Feier was an extremely strong person, and his way of handling problems seemed to be inappropriate.

"Yes, I also find it strange. Penros Fair seems to be very concerned about the Theater of Sorrow, but in terms of actual personnel arrangements... he doesn't seem to have much interest."

Like Li Feng, Xia also felt strange.

From what she heard, the Governor was indeed very interested in the Theater of Sorrow.

But when Sia continued to inquire and learned that the governor had only appointed a few idiots to participate in the investigation, she felt that this matter was strange.

'Not much interest...'

Li Feng nodded and remembered it in his mind. He stopped worrying about it and continued to ask:

"What about Violet Eyes?"

When Li Feng asked about the Violet Eyes, Xia couldn't help but smile:

"Ha, those old men are really big now!"

"What?"

Li Feng didn't understand.

"The Theater of Sorrow appeared last night. I think it was when we entered the dreamland together."

Sia began to explain:

"At that time, the Violet Eyes delegation had arrived in Wind's Breath City, and they immediately learned of the emergence of the Theater of Sorrow.

I heard that last night, the Spellweavers gathered their men and prepared to enter the Theater of Sorrow.

But the fact is that no matter what methods they used, they could not open the theater door, nor destroy any window or wall.

In short, they haven't found a way to enter the theater, and are currently searching for information in the bachelor's tower! "

'I see. ’

Li Feng nodded. He heard the key and asked:

"They are looking for information? Is it the information in the bachelor's tower?"

Li Feng recalled that when he was reading in the Bachelor's Tower, he didn't seem to find many books related to the Lost Land.

Moreover, even if there were any related ones, he had moved them to his room.

"No, half of the books in the Bachelor's Tower now belong to you. If they really want to check, they must send someone to ask for your opinion first."

Sia shook her head and continued:

“I heard that the information they checked were all ancient historical materials sent from Floating Island.

But they couldn't understand some of the words, so they were asking the maesters of Storm's End for help. "

The Floating Island is where the highest leadership body of the Violet Eye is located. It is said that there is the most comprehensive Spellweaver inheritance there and countless secrets are hidden there.

‘…ancient historical data from the Floating Island. ’

Li Feng suddenly became interested in this, but these were not the focus at the moment.

Not far ahead, the waves were lapping, and the lighthouse island was completely different from before.

It is summer, but there is no grass growing on the lighthouse island, only the tall Theater of Sadness stands quietly.

But in contrast to the desolation and quietness, the first floor of the Theater of Sadness was lit with warm yellow lights.

If you get closer, you can still hear the lively and cheerful sound of musical instruments playing there.

Just like what Li Feng and Xia had seen in their dreams.

"I heard that when the Theater of Sorrow first came into existence, there were no lights on the first floor. The lights didn't come on until after midnight."

Xia looked at the light coming from the first floor of the theater and asked Li Feng:

"Tell me, could it be that we passed the first floor of the theater, so the lights were on there?"

Li Feng nodded lightly when he heard this.

He wasn't sure what the rules of this theater were, but what Sia said did make sense.

Last night, they passed through the first floor of the theater in their dreams, gained a level of power, and received a performance prop - a cinnabar cup.

Then the theater of sadness that appeared in the eyes of the world lit up with a warm yellow light.

…

Different from the warm yellow lights on the first floor of the Theater of Sorrow, the turquoise candlelight swayed gently in the basement on the lowest floor of Storm's End.

"Why are the lights on the first floor of the Theater of Sadness?"

Penros Fel, the governor of Storm Island, was sitting on a stone chair, asking the Soul Eater Mathas who stood respectfully in front of him.

"Light...light? What?"

Hearing the Governor's question, Mathas, who had a skull face, was extremely surprised and couldn't help but ask the Governor back.

Looking at his reaction with cold eyes, Governor Fehr did not answer, but continued to wait for his answer.

"Mr. Governor, according to, according to..."

As soon as Mathas recovered from the shock, he immediately explained to the governor.

He hurried to his table, took out a piece of flat bone from a pile of scattered flat bone fragments, and handed it to Governor Fell.

"According to the records in the Book of Loss, in this lost place called the Theater of Sorrow, every time a layer of lights lights up, it means someone has passed that layer."

Glancing at the bone fragment he took from Mathas, it was engraved with words called ancient troll language.

This language has long been lost, and even the trolls no longer use this writing.

As for those in human society who know this ancient troll language or understand part of the text, they are very rare.

Governor Fehr was certainly not one of those rare people, but Mathas, who had been studying forbidden spells, could recognize some of them.

"Does that mean that as soon as the Theater of Sorrow came into existence, someone passed through the first floor of the theater?"

Governor Feier narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Mathas.

Although Mathas was shocked, he could only nod in agreement based on the result:

“But don’t worry, Lord Governor, according to the records in the Lost Book.

To perform the last rites, someone must first pass through each level of the theater and light up each level.

So, this unknown guy is helping you! "

Mathas immediately said with a smile.

Mathas did not lie about the contents of the Lost Book.

The first is because at the moment he and the Governor share common interests, and Mathas also has his own considerations.

Second, although the Governor does not know the ancient troll language, he obviously knows a lot about the Lost Land and rituals.

And with the Governor's shrewdness and insight, he couldn't deceive him.

Although Marsas didn't know what happened that year, when the Dragon Slayer Governor came to him.

He vaguely realized that after Pangloss Fell slayed the dragon, he should have obtained some methods of gaining power from the Dragon Queen.

But because the Governor was not a dragon and could not completely copy the dragon's ritual, he needed to use his Soul Eater's forbidden spells.

At that time, Governor Fell first gave him a Lost Book made of bone fragments.

This book was written in the ancient troll language, and it was a troll from a long time ago, recording the information of the lost land that sank to the bottom of the sea.

In addition, Governor Fell also told Marsas some spells to summon the lost land, asking him to use the forbidden power to summon things on the bottom of the sea.

In return, Marsas could get enough benefits in exchange, and he also had his own considerations, so he agreed to the Governor.

After a lot of hard research, Marsas finally summoned a high tower that sank to the bottom of the sea.

The information from Violet Eye was correct. In the Book of the Lost, the tower was called the Theater of Sorrow.

But at the same time, when Marsas was studying the Book of the Lost and the summoning spells, he also understood how powerful the Lost Land was.

That was why Marsas was extremely surprised when he heard that the lights on the first floor of the Theater of Sorrow had been turned on.

‘In less than an hour since the theater appeared, someone successfully passed the first floor of the theater?

Who did it and how did they do it? ’

Marsas was shocked and puzzled. He couldn’t figure out who could pass the first floor of the theater in such a short time.

Although this did not conflict with his and the Governor’s plan, it was even obviously beneficial.

In the Governor’s original plan, the Violet Eye guys were used as cannon fodder to help him pass the theater layer by layer.

That was why the Governor gave the green light to Violet Eye’s visit this time.

But the reality is that the well-prepared Violet Eye failed to succeed, and an unknown existence passed through the first floor of the theater at a very fast speed.

When he thought of such a powerful and unknown existence around him, Marsas felt very uncomfortable.

In the basement covered with moss and flickering candlelight, Marsas secretly observed the Governor.

From the Governor's uncertain face, Marsas could sense that the Governor's thoughts at the moment were similar to his.

Although they wanted to seize power after all the lights on the seven-story tower of the Sad Theater were lit up.

And now, the situation is also developing towards the result they need.

However, in the process of development, the unknown existence that appeared also made them feel a huge threat.

"Humph."

After a long time, the Governor snorted and said to Marsas:

"Do your job well, I will check the rest."

...

"The lights on the first floor of the theater mean that someone has passed the first floor of the theater?"

In the Bachelor's Tower of Fengxi Castle.

As an official player and a time traveler, Qi Heng, who has seen countless brain holes in the era of information explosion, whispered to his mentor.

Qi Heng felt that he would never forget the scene on the lighthouse island last night.

Last night, when he learned that the Sad Theater suddenly appeared on the abandoned lighthouse island.

The weaver mentors of the Violet Eye Mission were afraid that someone would get there first, so they immediately set off.

After arriving on the island, facing the ancient and grand tower, the weaver mentors tried countless methods.

But no matter what, they could not enter it.

But what Qi Heng and the mentors never expected was that one hour after the Sad Theater appeared, the lights on the first floor of the theater tower suddenly lit up.

And along with the lights, there was a noisy and cheerful sound of music from the theater.

At first, the mentors thought that their spells had taken effect.

In the admiring eyes of the apprentices, they continued to work hard, but in the end they found out...

The lights on that floor actually had nothing to do with their spells.

Helplessly, after the mentors worked hard all night and lost a lot of hair,

They could only come back to read the ancient historical materials sent from the floating island.

"Someone got through? In just one hour, how is that possible?"

A tall and thin middle-aged weaver said, he was Qi Heng's mentor.

"Well, this, I'm just guessing."

Under the serious questioning of his mentor, Qi Heng, who was originally guessing, could only admit defeat.

But his mentor ignored him, just looked in the direction of the Sad Theater, and said to himself:

"Is the way to enter the theater really not at the entrance of the tower?

But if someone got through, then who would this person be?"
