Chapter 149: Discovering a New Island

"Young, which lady gave this to me?"

August 17th, the game world of Endless Sea.

After Shia turned back into a human, she wore a milk-green skirt, leaned against the door frame of Li Feng's room with her hands behind her back, and tilted her head to look at him.

On Li Feng's desk, among the gray, white and black items, a pink ribbon stood out.

When Shia came, she happened to see Li Feng holding the ribbon and looking at it carefully.

Inexplicably, Shia blurted out a joke.

"A man with a stepdaughter."

Hearing Xi Ya's arrival, Li Feng glanced at her and handed her the pink ribbon.

"Someone with a...stepdaughter...?"

Shia couldn't help but open her eyes in surprise and stood at the door in shock.

The heart says what does this mean? Should we introduce the stepdaughter, or mother and daughter together?

Even if this human being is worthy, it is too...

Walking into the room with horror, Shia took the ribbon and looked at it over and over like Li Feng did.

The pink ribbon was smooth and delicate, with lace embroidered on both sides. At first glance, it belonged to a noble lady.

But other than that, Shia couldn't see any clues.

"To the light."

Li Feng reminded him at the right time.

Hearing this, Shia raised her arm and passed the noon sun through the ribbon. Suddenly, she found a line of small words on the ribbon:

"If you like corpses, you might be interested in my stepdaughter."

"Ah, this... this... what does this mean?"

Seeing this sentence, Shia was even more shocked.

Something about a cult on an outlying island comes to mind.

"Where did this ribbon come from?"

Shia sat on another chair next to the desk and asked in surprise.

"With this."

Li Feng picked up the cinnabar cup on the table, handed it to Xia, and explained at the same time:

"That night we passed through the first floor of the Theater of Sorrow, and after I woke up from the dream, I found these two things on the table."

In fact, after passing through the first floor of the theater, Li Feng only got the cinnabar cup.

The ribbon with the weird sentence written on it was obtained by him fishing.

But Li Feng couldn't explain anything about fishing, so he simply said that he got two things at that time.

Anyway, this ribbon, no matter how you look at it, is just used to record this sentence and has no other purpose.

"The first floor of the Theater of Sorrow?"

When Shia heard this, she immediately understood the importance.

She picked up the ribbon and cinnabar cup and examined them again and again.

"The painting on the cup..."

Soon, Shia discovered the strange engravings on the cinnabar cup.

It was a scene of a woman giving birth, but it was different from the play on the first floor of the Theater of Sorrow.

The cup depicts a woman giving birth to a baby girl. The baby girl survives, but the woman dies.

But her belly was painted as if it had been bitten by a wild beast.

The painting was a printmaking style with thick lines and stiff corners, and the cinnabar cup was very small, so many parts of the painting were unclear.

The results obtained by Xia and Li Feng were somewhat speculative.

"But... what does this mean? This thing..."

Shia held the cinnabar cup and ribbon, looking confused:

"What does this have to do with the Theater of Sorrow and the performances on the first floor of the theater?"

Li Feng shook his head. He had been thinking about this question since last night, but he still had no clear conclusion.

"There is a guess."

Li Feng took a deep breath, took back the cinnabar cup from Shia's hand, held it up slightly and said:

“The Theater of Sadness has seven floors, and each floor tells a story.

But these stories are actually just a fragment of the whole story. "

"Fragments?"

Shia thought quickly after hearing this:

“What you’re saying is that the entire Theater of Sadness is actually playing out a story, and each level is just a fragment.

We passed the first level, but in fact we only saw a corner of the entire story. "

Li Feng nodded:

"That's what I said."

"so."

Shia seemed to have thought of something, her golden eyes rolled, and suddenly the worries on her face swept away, and she said with a smile:

"Then... let's go through all the floors of the theater quickly. I can't wait to read the whole story!"

Because the Lost Land contains the power of the black dragon ancestors, in the Theater of Sorrow, Shia absorbed the power of the ancestors and was almost invincible.

After she figured this out, she suddenly felt that ribbons, cinnabar cups, and engravings were nothing to be afraid of.

"Have you read the whole story?"

Li Feng watched Shia fiddle with ribbons and cups comfortably.

She wrapped the pink ribbon around the cinnabar cup, and then tied a beautiful bow in a good mood.

He didn't care at all about the weird and scary pictures and words on the cinnabar cups and ribbons.

Looking at this scene, Li Feng suddenly felt the gap between races.

"You don't want to read the whole story, but you want to get the power of the entire tower."

Li Feng ruthlessly revealed the young dragon's greedy thoughts.

Xia wasn't angry when Li Feng said he was right, she still smiled with her eyebrows bent:

"Gee, you still know me, so how do we get into the Theater of Sadness again?"

Shia said as she put the cinnabar cup tied with a bow aside, put her elbows on the table, held her chin and asked Li Feng.

Indeed, after passing the first level, the invitation had spontaneously combusted and disappeared.

Originally this was a difficult problem, but fortunately Li Feng found a way to enter the Sad Theater again in the historical records of the Violet Eye.

But before that.

"What happened to the Violet Eye delegation last night?"

Because of the translation yesterday afternoon, Li Feng guessed that the delegation would definitely enter the Sad Theater last night, so he asked first.

"That group of weavers? I actually went to the post house to see them this morning."

Hearing Li Feng mention the delegation, Xia's originally smiling face showed doubts:

"It's really strange. They entered from the main entrance of the theater, but were eventually fished out of the sea.

Also, the six weaver instructors who entered the theater all became crazy.

But the most incredible thing is that they secretly recruited several girls from the red street this morning.

I guess they should have watched the bloody performance of castration, heart-peeling and skinning like us, and then performed it again.

Recruiting girls may be to verify the consequences of self-castration in the dream."

Li Feng: "..."

"Uh...this matter..."

Li Feng gently stroked his eyebrows with his hand. Thinking back to that performance, he still felt a little weak.

I heard that the high-level weavers who were reading historical materials together yesterday ended up like this after entering the theater.

Li Feng suddenly felt that he was lucky to hold the thigh of the black dragon.

"Okay, let's not talk about them."

Dispelling irrelevant thoughts from his mind, Li Feng continued to work:

"I saw in the historical materials yesterday that the way to get the invitation letter for each level of the Sad Theater is to sacrifice a live lightning eel."

"Lightning eel?"

Hearing Li Feng's words, Xia suddenly remembered.

Before they received the invitation letter for the first time, they did catch a lightning eel on the Lighthouse Island because of Li Feng's divination.

At that time, she first froze the eel, and then Li Feng killed the eel with a gun.

It turned out that it was just an unintentional action, but she completed the sacrifice and received the invitation letter.

"I see."

Xia wanted to understand the whole story, but she also found a problem:

"But the lightning eel was caught because we accidentally entered a strange illusion or something like that.

Now the Lighthouse Island or the seashore should no longer be able to catch that kind of deep-sea fish."

Indeed, Li Feng also knew this.

The bones of lightning eels are not a common supernatural material. On weekdays, there are also some hunting ships hunting them.

But because of their own electric properties, when hunting ships catch lightning eels, they will first use professional equipment to kill them directly in the water, and then salvage them on board.

So in the inland supernatural material trading market, you can definitely not buy live lightning eels.

Firstly, because of the danger, and secondly, because live lightning eels are useless to customers, they only need the bones of eels.

But for the invitation letter of the Sad Theater, Li Feng and Xia need live lightning eels for sacrifice.

"What if we board a hunting ship? Go catch a few lightning eels yourself, I can freeze them."

Xia thought of a way.

"It's feasible."

Li Feng nodded slightly:

"But what about the motive? If we do this, we can't explain the motive."

Now the Violet Eye Mission already knows that Li Feng can speak the ancient troll language and has also read their historical materials.

If Li Feng did something inexplicable now, the delegation would have every reason to suspect that Li Feng had seen something in the historical materials and concealed it from them.

Because the lightning eel is too special and has no use except for bones.

If Li Feng needs it, he can go to the extraordinary material trading market to buy bones.

But if he says he needs a live lightning eel, no one will understand and it will also attract a lot of suspicion.

The Violet Eye, which has already encountered difficulties, certainly has doubts.

What makes Li Feng more worried is the governor who has been silently monitoring him.

Li Feng doesn't want to do anything inconsiderate.

Hearing Li Feng say this, Xia immediately understood what he meant.

There are so many eyes in Fengxi Castle and even Fengxi City.

It seems a bit difficult to catch a living lightning eel living in the open sea without being discovered or arousing suspicion.

Xia frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitated:

"Maybe... I can turn into a cat, or turn back into a dragon, and then go to the sea to catch some..."

"I agree with turning into a cat."

Li Feng heard this, took out a small glass bottle from the drawer, and said with a smile:

"Let's go and take a look at the dock area."

"Ah? What are you going there for?"

Xia was puzzled.

"Remember the storm on the sea a few days ago?"

Not counting the days in the player world, in the game world of the Endless Sea, a big storm did occur on the sea near the Storm Island a few days ago.

At that time, the Violet Eye's ship was temporarily unable to sail due to the storm.

It delayed the time to catch the paper crane, which made a group of players anxious.

And Li Feng mentioned this matter because he used the fortune teller's letter opener last night to predict how to get a live lightning eel.

The letter opener's reply was:

"Storms on the sea will bring opportunities."

Although this relic still doesn't speak human language, combined with what happened before, Li Feng suddenly understood.

He should go to the dock area and meet the crew members and captains going out to sea.

John, the captain of the Jellyfish whom I once met, is a good contact person.

If he could really discover something from that sea storm, it might be much better than him controlling the paper servants to board the boat to fish.

Li Feng's original plan was to control the paper servants he got after killing Paper Crane's servants last time.

Let the paper minions dress up as crew members and board the ship, then go fishing for thunder eels.

However, the thunder eel must be kept alive, and the paper man is afraid of electricity.

Therefore, if you really want to implement this plan, you must first make complete preparations.

But the information Li Feng obtained from an accidental divination gave him a new breakthrough point.

Therefore, it is not too late to take a look at what kind of opportunity it will be.

After drinking the lucky potion from the glass bottle in his hand, and taking the blessing knot from Huang Yanyan, Li Feng and Shia, who turned into a cat, went to the dock area.

…

"There was a shipwreck?"

The midsummer noon sun shines on the laurel trees in the courtyard.

The sunshine in the yard carries the fragrance of laurel, and then pours into the gorgeous castle guarded by laurel trees.

At this moment, in a spacious room where the fragrance of osmanthus can be smelled.

Huang Yanyan was having a sumptuous lunch with her father in the game world, Baron Warner.

Baron Warner just returned from hunting at the Blue Jade Manor yesterday, but he was busy with various business matters afterwards.

So at noon today, I had time to have lunch with my only daughter.

"yes."

Mr. Warner nodded and replied to his daughter:

“It is said that the storm was really big and many merchant ships lost their cargo in that storm.

Even the cargo shipped by Dothan Shipping Company to Storm's End was lost. "

Huang Yanyan nodded when she heard the words. Although she was on land, she felt the same way about that storm.

Because the Violet Eyes Mission that captured the paper crane was blocked at sea for many days because of that storm.

All the players are in fear every day.

In the end, if No. 67 hadn't killed the paper crane on the last evening, the player world would have suffered another disaster.

"What happened next?"

Huang Yanyan asked.

She is an official player, and she is obligated to collect information about the game world, whether it has anything to do with the extraordinary or not.

Only in this way can the Research Institute of Player World better understand the world of the Endless Sea.

"later……"

Mr. Warner thought for a while and found it strange that his daughter was interested in these things. She was unwilling to listen to them before.

But since his daughter likes it, Mr. Warner is of course happy to tell her.

"Later, Storm's End seemed to attach great importance to that batch of goods, and personally sent a fleet to salvage it.

However, I heard that some crew members fell into the water during the storm, but the Storm's End fleet did not search and rescue the crew members. "

"ah?"

As a player in modern society, Huang Yanyan was shocked when he heard that he only saved goods but not people.

She felt that what Storm's End did was too much, and that it was simply taking care of human life.

"Then those crew members weren't..."

Not letting herself go too far, Huang Yanyan continued to ask.

"Well, not necessarily."

Mr. Warner shook his head slightly:

"I heard from John, the captain of the Jellyfish, who came back from that storm that a small island seemed to appear inexplicably in the center of the storm."

"A new island appeared?"

Huang Yanyan asked in surprise, this is definitely valuable information for the institute.

“Not sure, John said the storm was so strong that it was difficult for him to determine the course.

So he couldn't tell, it was a new island that was not on the chart.

However, he did say that the crew members who fell into the sea were all veterans, and if they survived, they would definitely be on that island. "
