On the night of August 31, the game world of Endless Sea, the last day of the seventh game cycle. Google search reading
In the dim room with moonlight shining in, the hands of the brass clock on the table pointed to 11 o'clock.
In the not-so-spacious room, Li Feng and the troll standing by the window were silently confronting each other.
Under the moonlight, the troll had gray-blue skin.
Trolls are taller than humans, with arms over the knees, and look a bit like monkeys.
Their ears are similar to those of elves, long and pointed, but the ears of trolls are thick and far less delicate and agile than those of elves.
In terms of facial features, trolls are like lions, their noses are very wide and protruding, but their eyes are very small, and they have fangs like saber-toothed tigers.
Because of their tall body, at this moment, the troll stood by the window, blocking the moonlight, leaving a long shadow until Li Feng's feet.
Faced with such a creature, Li Feng did not speak or move, just looked at him quietly.
After a long time, the troll finally spoke first, his voice was low and hoarse:
"We have met, human."
"Was it on the newly appeared island?"
Li Feng replied calmly.
That island made him feel something was wrong at the time. Ogres are creatures with very low intelligence and are vassalized by other races.
But on the new island, the ogres planned to capture and keep humans in captivity.
It is hard not to wonder who they are working for.
Besides, Li Feng and Xia also found the voodoo doll and white candle in the hands of the troll in the cave on the island.
The facts are self-evident.
It was just that Li Feng didn't expect that he didn't want to cause trouble at the time and didn't touch those things.
He even resisted the idea of fishing, but now he was still found by the other party.
"That's right."
Under the moonlight, the tall troll spoke again:
"You let go of the human I kept in captivity and killed my ogre servants."
His tone was normal, although he said accusatory words, but there was no emotion.
"Those crew members are my friends. Your servants locked them up. I have no other choice."
Li Feng looked normal.
But in the same way, he opened the system backpack. As long as there was a slight change, he could pick up a weapon.
"What a choice."
The troll laughed as he spoke, his tall body moved, and then continued:
"I don't like humans, but if you serve the princess, I won't kill you."
Li Feng: ? ? ?
"What princess?"
Because I have been watching the palace love and hatred in the Sad Theater recently, Li Feng was a little confused when he heard the word "princess".
"Ha! What an ignorant human being. Of course, the princess has a special identity. In human society, it is also very wise to conceal her identity intentionally."
Seeing Li Feng's reaction, the tall troll with gray-blue skin said a lot to himself.
Finally, he thought that Li Feng had solved his doubts, and said in a self-important tone:
"The girl who landed on the island with you that day, her true identity is the Black Dragon Princess, the only offspring of the fallen Black Dragon Queen."
Li Feng: ? ? ?
Listening to the troll's complacent tone and the slightly raised head when he said these words, Li Feng couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I think you might have made a mistake."
"Impossible."
Hearing Li Feng's doubts, the troll immediately interrupted and said seriously:
"I, the Angry Sand Troll, have served the Black Dragon Queen for generations, and there is no way I could have made a mistake.
But you, human, are still stubborn and stubborn even when I clearly told you the facts.
You are really an arrogant and arrogant race."
The troll said and accused arrogantly.
Looking at his appearance, Li Feng found it even funnier. He waved his hand and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"Of course I know she is the Black Dragon Princess."
Under the troll's sharp and questioning eyes, Li Feng leaned back on the chair and said easily:
"What I mean by you are wrong is that I do not serve her.
And in fact, I am her master."
"What?! How is this possible? Rude human!"
The troll's eyes widened with anger when he heard this, and his tall body took a step forward.
Li Feng smiled and sighed, feeling helpless, so he told him roughly how he met Xia.
In the dark sky, there was a bright moon and stars.
After listening to the story, the troll lowered his head dejectedly, and closed his eyes with a sigh.
Under the moonlight, he seemed to have received a blow, and his body was a little unstable.
Li Feng suddenly felt that there was a word that must be very appropriate to describe the troll at this moment, that is, broken defense.
"It turned out to be like this... It turned out to be like this..."
In front of the arched window with thin curtains, the gray-blue skinned troll lowered his head, lamenting that their era had passed.
Now, only humans dominate the Endless Sea.
"Humans, I..."
After digesting the difficult information for a long time, the troll under the moonlight finally raised his head.
He looked at Li Feng steadily, and in his eyes, compared with the arrogance before, there was now a lot more humility.
From the look of him, it seemed that he wanted to ask Li Feng for something, but he couldn't bring himself to do it because of face.
"I am not interested in enslaving others or other races.
Xia has what she wants to do, and I have what I want to do. Now we are allies."
Seeing the troll's embarrassment, Li Feng explained.
Now, both Shia and he need allies.
As for this troll, Li Feng's various behaviors show his loyalty to the Black Dragon Clan.
What's more, Li Feng was very interested in the identity of this troll.
He seems to be the rumored tyrant who controls the sea market.
Therefore, there is really no need to become enemies when we can be on good terms with each other.
"Uh this-"
The troll raised his head. He looked at Li Feng quietly for a while and saw that his expression didn't look like he was faking.
Then he sighed and said:
"Please forgive me for the offense I just caused."
The cool night breeze was blocked outside, and the moonlight was bright.
After remaining silent for a long time, the troll spoke again:
"I came to see you today about the Theater of Sorrow.
People with violet eyes don't know, and think that the people who pass through the theater are demigods, but I know that the people who pass through the theater are actually the princess and your Excellency. "
Li Feng didn't deny it, he just nodded lightly.
This troll is undoubtedly knowledgeable, and now that the Theater of Sadness has been completely passed, it has no intention of leaving or disappearing.
Li Feng really wanted to hear what this troll would say.
"Due to my own reasons, I am unable to walk under the sun and can only appear for a short time at night."
The troll continued, seeming to be talking about his own problems, with a little sadness in his tone:
"So, I can only ask you to tell the princess that the monster in the Theater of Sorrow is coming out."
"monster?"
Li Feng thought of something and asked for confirmation:
"Is it a character in the story? The stepdaughter who lost her heart and is still alive?"
Because the entire story did not fill this hole until the end.
Moreover, the stepdaughter, who has a strange shape and does not look like a normal creature, is crowned queen at the end.
It doesn't look like an ending that makes people feel safe.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. In my long life, I just heard some things."
The troll replied:
"I am loyal to the Black Dragon Queen, and I am also loyal to the queen's heirs, so I have come to warn you.
All I know is that when all seven lights in the Theater of Sadness are turned on, the real story begins.
The stories in the theater may not be entirely credible. There is another version.
Just like history, every historian will write a different history.
In the endless sea, I once heard that the way to kill monsters is hidden in the stories.
But what it is, I have no way of knowing.
Of course, if the princess and your Excellency have any questions, I am willing to do whatever they can. "
After finishing speaking, the troll looked at the moonlight outside the window, turned around and said again:
"You must have discovered that I am just a broken soul and have no entity.
Now that the moon is at its zenith, I cannot continue to exist.
If you and the princess need me, please light this candle before midnight. "
As he spoke, the troll took out an extinguished white candle and placed it on the table. Then, without waiting for Li Feng to say anything, he disappeared under the shadow of the moon.
The windows blocked out the night breeze, and the thin curtains didn't move at all.
Seeing the moonlight shining at his feet again, Li Feng was in a daze as he recalled what happened just now.
This troll came to warn him and Shia about the monster that was about to appear in the Theater of Sadness.
So, having seven lights on through the seven floors of the theater is really not the end.
Li Feng was confused. He was not sure whether this was good or bad.
But if there are monsters that borrow the power of the black dragon ancestors, Shia should be able to deal with them.
Besides, what if the monster came out of the theater and into the real world.
Then there are many people who can deal with it, and the Violet Eye, the Ring of Earth, and Storm's End will not stand idly by.
Therefore, if it appeared in the Endless Sea or Wind's Breath City, it would not be a big problem.
Having made a rough judgment about the monster, Li Feng looked at the candle again.
What the troll left behind was a new, white, slender candle.
Recall what he just said - "A broken soul has no entity."
'Like Mrs. Alvin? ’
Li Feng thought of the lady related to Faranir's grandson Gad. She also lost her body and only had a soul left.
If you look carefully, the two of them seem to look a bit similar.
The only difference is that they are of different races, one is a mortal and the other is a transcendent.
But here comes the problem.
Is a soul without a body that can only appear at night really be the one who seizes the tidal scepter in the storm and succeeds to the throne of tyrant?
Looking at the brass clock on the table, Li Feng saw that there were ten minutes left until midnight, and Li Feng decided not to think about it for the time being.
As a player, he has half a month more time every half month than the people in Endless Sea.
After returning to the relatively stable player world, he had enough time to think about these things.
Picking up the white candle that the troll put on the table, Li Feng put it into his backpack.
Then he lay on the bed, opened the system's task interface, and waited for his return while sorting out his thoughts.
On the task interface, Li Feng still has three unfinished tasks.
First of all, Li Feng skipped the task of replacing Storm Island Governor Penlos Fell and becoming the actual controller of Storm Island.
This task cannot be accomplished with his current strength, and requires careful long-term planning.
Secondly, there is no need to look at player cycle tasks.
This task requires that by one hour before the end of the twelfth game cycle, a player must be promoted to level three.
It is only the end of the seventh game cycle, and he has already been promoted to the second level and ninth level, so there is no need to worry about this task.
But the last task:
[Hunter promotion task: Investigate the gargoyles and kill the mother of the gargoyles. ]
[Task prompt: Wind's Rest Castle]
[Task reward: Promote one more level on the original hunter level. ]
[Current task progress: 22%]
Gargoyle, mother of the gargoyle...
Although Li Feng has obtained the head of the gargoyle twice from the paper crane and the cave on the new island.
But he still has no idea about this monster.
‘The cave on the new island...’
While clearing his mind, Li Feng suddenly remembered that there was not only a box of gargoyle heads in the cave on the new island.
There was also the voodoo doll of the troll just now, and the inextinguishable white candle.
In this case, the troll just now is very likely to know about the gargoyles.
‘Oh, why did I forget to ask. ’
Li Feng felt a little regretful, blaming himself for not remembering it just now.
However, since the troll was loyal to Xia and had no hostility towards him, and left a candle as a contact method.
It would not be too late to ask when I return to the game next time.
The moonlight outside the window was like water, and Li Feng continued to clear his mind and wait for his return.
…
"Splash-splash--"
The endless waves hit the reefs again and again, and the bright moonlight shone on the tower of the Sad Theater.
At the feet of the gargoyle statue on the top floor of the tower, a strange shadow was left.
Near midnight, on the shore opposite the lighthouse island, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old stood there quietly.
She was wearing a snow-white long dress, standing on the embankment of the dock area of Fengxi City, smiling at the Sad Theater with all seven lights on.
Under the bright moonlight in the sky and the warm yellow lights of the theater, the girl's skin was as white as snow.
And her lips were redder than blood.
The night wind blew, stirring the girl's snow-white and simple-style long skirt.
The girl raised her head slightly in the wind, as if she was enjoying the cool night breeze, or as if she was waiting for someone, and she still stood quietly.
After a long time, footsteps were finally heard on the street that had been deserted for a long time.
The steady and powerful footsteps stopped behind the girl. It was a tall young man.
He was dressed in traveler's clothes and wore a wide hood on his head.
The hood covered his face and blocked the moonlight, making it difficult to see his face.
"You are not a paper crane."
Although she did not look back, the girl in the snow-white long skirt still found that the person behind her was not the one she was waiting for.
"The paper crane was killed."
The tall young man replied, not caring much.
"Can you replace him?"
"I am here to replace him."
"Very good."
Hearing the clear answer from the man behind her, the girl turned around. Under the moonlight, her skin was as pale as snow.
She used her dark eyes to look at the young man who was replacing the paper crane, and then said:
"What do you want?"
Although he was being closely watched, the young man still didn't care.
He raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes under the hood, and said:
"It's almost midnight, I'm in a hurry, can your ceremony be faster?"
"Ha!"
As if amused by the young man's words, the girl grinned, revealing a row of sharp and dense teeth.
She walked towards the young man with a smile, hooked her hands around his neck, and asked:
"So, are you ready?"
Under the dim lights of the theater not far away, the young man who was asked answered:
"Yes, Lord Mother of Gargoyles."
