Chapter 267: It Turns Out that the King Is a Player, Investigating the Explorer
October 6th, the world of Endless Sea, the thirteenth game cycle.
The warm sunshine of the autumn afternoon splashes on the urban area outside Fengxi City where there are many houses. Under the sunlight, the glorious tiles on the roof reflect bright light.
Shia, who had turned into a little black cat, was lying on her back on Li Feng's table, clutching the letter with her furry paws, feeling a little confused.
"Governor of Storm Island? Me?"
It was not that Shia had never thought about what would happen after the great revenge was avenged, but it was just a thought before, and she never had a specific plan.
Even if Penlos Fell really died a few days ago, because of the sudden relief and a lot of unreality, Shia rarely thought of specific matters related to Storm's End.
She knew that she still had to do a lot of things in the future, such as how to find other lost places like the Theater of Sorrow.
She still needs to continue to advance and then take revenge on everyone who participated in the massacre of the Black Dragon clan.
She also wants to restore the dragon's former glory and rule the endless sea.
But those goals take a long time and are lofty ideals that can only be accomplished many years later.
As for now, Shia really hasn't thought about it yet.
"Didn't you say you wanted to rule the endless sea?"
Looking at Shia who had not yet reacted, Li Feng said:
"Then let's start by governing an island."
"Can……"
Listening to Li Feng's words and holding onto the letter paper with the emblem of the nine-headed sea beast, Shia finally returned to the present moment.
But then she realized that although she didn't know what method Li Feng used to get the royal family to support her, what about the nobles, ministers and knights in Storm's End?
The real Shia has no maternal power, so he has no prestige among them.
As far as Shia knew, the forces in Storm's End were complicated and various interest groups were criss-crossed. If she really waited for him to take the position of governor, I'm afraid a lot of trouble would be inevitable.
Seeing Shia's concerns, Li Feng talked about what happened before:
"Aren't you wondering where Hazan and the other trolls have gone?"
On an autumn afternoon, with the wind blowing in the warm sunshine, Li Feng told Shia about the resurrection of the trolls.
Shia, who really didn't expect things to be like this, stared at the cat's golden eyes.
After being shocked, she suddenly understood why in recent days, the important people in Storm's End were so respectful to the paper man pretending to be herself.
Feelings, they are no longer who they were before, but the trolls of Nusha Island.
What surprised Shia even more was that it turned out that Li Feng had been planning for today a few days ago, when he had just sealed the lava lord's cocoon.
And he not only planned, but also made everything develop according to his arrangement.
Lying next to Li Feng's arm, Shia looked at Li Feng who was sorting out the messy letters, feeling unspeakable emotions in her heart.
After experiencing so many things together, it is getting harder and harder for Shia to believe that Li Feng is just a scholar from the eastern island.
I remember when we first met, Li Feng said that he came to study, but unfortunately, the Discovery he was riding on encountered a shipwreck and sank.
‘Really, I foolishly believed him at that time. ’
Resting her head on the table, Shia watched quietly as Li Feng tied up the bundles of letters with thread.
‘A scholar who came to study in just a few months turned a large island like Storm Island upside down and changed its dynasty.
Well - I'm afraid such a scholar can only come to Yin!
Oh, by the way, his real name is probably not Lai Yin, but...'
Still looking at Li Feng quietly, Shia blinked her golden eyes:
‘But what does that matter? ’
…
"The neck is full of flesh and blood, and the tongue is completely broken off?"
The sun sets in the west, and the sky is orange-red.
After several days of inquiring, Hazan, who had become Lannis, finally learned the specific cause of the king's death.
It's just this way of death that Li Feng really doesn't understand.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Hazan nodded to confirm, and continued to tell what he had learned through Lannis's relationship:
“The details I got is that on the night of September 30, Kingdom went to bed alone.
Then at one o'clock in the morning on October 1, a soul eater noticed the annihilation of the king's soul, so the palace and attendants immediately went to the king's palace.
According to the description of the attendant who first saw the king, the cause of death of the king was that his neck was inexplicably bloody and bloody, and his tongue was strangely cut off at the root.
Everyone who saw the scene was horrified. It was obviously murder.
Therefore, the extraordinary beings stationed in the palace immediately launched an investigation, but the result of the investigation was that they found nothing. There was no unknown or evil extraordinary power in the palace.
In the end, because the cause of the king's death was so disgraceful, the royal family decided to conceal it, compiled the honorable reasons to the outside world, and then only secretly investigated the cause of the king's death. "
Hazan went into detail as to what he knew.
Li Feng sorted it out while listening, and then asked:
"Who is the Soul Eater who discovered the annihilation of the kingdom's souls?"
"It seems to be called..."
Hazan recalled it carefully:
"It's a human named Amu."
"slim Shady?"
Li Feng was a little surprised to hear that it was someone he knew, but after thinking about it, he felt that it couldn't be him.
And it’s not just Eminem, it shouldn’t be anyone in the palace.
After all, in the endless sea where extraordinary existence exists, the place where the king lives must be more heavily guarded than anywhere else.
The palace will definitely use the extraordinary to resist all kinds of dangers caused by the extraordinary.
Besides, after the death of the kingdom, they immediately conducted an investigation, but in the end, they still found nothing.
"Is it possible that... some kind of evil curse was triggered?"
Guessing other possibilities, Li Feng asked Hai Zan. In the Endless Sea, the trolls are very familiar with history and various secret arts.
"That's right, sir."
Hai Zan shook his head and explained with his extraordinary knowledge:
"In the knowledge recorded by the trolls, there are indeed many curses that can cause flesh and blood to rot.
But those curses are really difficult to impose on the king in actual operation.
I found in Lannis's memory that the palace is heavily guarded, and there are many high-level extraordinary people there. Their main job every day is to ensure that the king is not affected by negative extraordinary people.
So I don't think the king will be cursed. It is more difficult to curse him than to kill him directly, unless...
Unless someone with much higher strength than the palace guards appears."
The sunset in the distance gradually dimmed, and crystal stars appeared in the clear blue-purple sky.
Thinking about the inside story of the king's death, Li Feng sat alone at home.
This matter actually had nothing to do with Li Feng. Li Feng even gained some benefits from the death of the kingdom and the chaos of the royal family.
For example, on the issue of the new governor of Storm Island, the overwhelmed royal family was easily persuaded to support Xia.
This saved Li Feng a lot of trouble.
But the time when the king died and the way he died were indeed difficult for Li Feng, as a player, to ignore.
Li Feng felt that Hai Zan was right in saying that -
"Unless someone with much higher strength than the palace guards appears."
Changing his thinking, Li Feng thought about what happened to him.
Not only in the last game cycle, but also in this game cycle, at the alternation of each cycle, his bodies in the two worlds were synchronized.
What if the king was also a player, and his body state was also synchronized.
If the king died in his player world, but his cause of death was very special, with his neck bloody and his tongue cut off at the root.
Then at the beginning of the next cycle, when he traveled back to the game world, his physical state would naturally be synchronized, so the guards in the palace could not find any clues.
Everything seemed to make sense.
But the remaining question was who killed the player who traveled back to the game world, and for what reason.
And he was so lucky to be the king after traveling back to the game world.
I couldn't tell why, but Li Feng always felt that if the king was a player, then he might have come from another world.
Because no matter how he died or his identity as a traveler, it was different from the style of the players in the AK49 world.
'Will the king come from another world like X, and there is someone behind him.'
Li Feng made wild guesses.
The tracker found the images of two level 3 players, and the dim lights of Quanyun City and the bright stars appeared in his mind.
Because he knew these two people, witnessed their powerful strength, and could not guess their purpose, Li Feng was vaguely worried every time he thought of this.
At the same time, he inevitably always linked the things he couldn't explain to those two people.
The blue-purple sky continued to darken, and the thin moon rose. Because it was the beginning of January, the moon hung in the sky, but it was still a shallow crescent.
Because the appointment letter for the next governor from the royal city arrived, he had to turn back into a human and return to Fengxi Castle.
There, almost everyone was preparing for her succession ceremony.
As the new governor who was about to take over, Xia also had a lot of affairs waiting for her to deal with.
So at this moment, Li Feng was the only one at home.
From the system backpack, Li Feng took out the core of the earth he got from Pangloss Fell, and the mourning bird he got from x.
After thinking about it, Li Feng also took out a world ladder he had exchanged before.
In the last cycle, Li Feng exchanged a world ladder, but he did not use it. He just tested whether the world number stated by x was correct.
So at present, the number of times this world ladder can be smuggled is still 10.
Found some parchment and a wooden box of the right size.
Under the still bright gas lamp, Li Feng first wrapped the white shuttle-shaped Earth Core with parchment.
Every player above level 2 has this thing, and the extra ones are useless.
Then Li Feng took the Bird of Death. This gun was made with unknown technology. It looked interesting, but its fancy appearance made Li Feng not like it too much.
After taking a look, it was obviously not as useful as his level 3 player's ability. Li Feng had no regrets and also wrapped the Bird of Death with parchment.
Finally, there was the World Ladder. Although the name of this thing is a ladder, its appearance is actually a string of 10 beads made of stone-like materials.
Li Feng guessed that a stone would disappear after using it once.
Each world ladder used for smuggling has 10 uses, and the exchange price is 1 contribution point.
Although Li Feng's current contribution is only 4 points, it is different from other players.
He can get the godhood infected by filth from the Lava Lord, so he doesn't need to use contribution points to exchange for godhood fusion degree.
This means that even if Li Feng's contribution points are only 4, it is still sufficient, after all, he has no place to use his contribution points.
Li Feng also took the parchment and wrapped the world ladder.
After that, he put the wrapped Earth Core, the Bird of Death, and the World Ladder into the wooden box, and then sealed the box.
After doing all this, Li Feng took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter to Huang Yanyan.
In the past few days, Li Feng has been thinking about many things.
Because the player world has been known by the two third-level players, and their purpose is unclear.
So the best situation is that the official players of the official research institute can quickly improve their strength and complete various tasks according to the needs of the research institute.
Li Feng still remembers that Huang Yanyan once said that the research institute is particularly interested in the new stars with advanced technology.
But to sneak to the new stars or contact the new stars, the research institute must have second-level players and must have the world ladder for sneaking.
Li Feng is really not interested in the research institute's plans for other worlds, and does not want to comment or participate.
But they ask themselves, the official research institute provides a peaceful living environment for the people, and he himself is also a beneficiary.
Especially after experiencing the zombie apocalypse in the previous life, Li Feng understands more that a peaceful life is precious.
So Li Feng was willing to take out some things that were useless to him but were urgently needed by the research institute.
That Earth Core could allow an official player to upgrade directly to a second-level player. Combined with the world ladder, they should be able to accomplish many things.
As for the mourning bird, it might help the official scientific research.
In fact, in addition to the official maintenance of peaceful life, for Li Feng personally, there is also the relationship with Huang Yanyan.
If he had a way, he would not want to see Huang Yanyan embarrassed because of work.
The skylight outside the window had disappeared. Under the dark blue night, Li Feng's fire seal orb spit out sparks, and a letter disappeared in the firelight.

As time goes by, the sun shines into Fengxi City again, illuminating every place.
Because Xia is about to succeed as the new governor, Fengxi City is busy with all kinds of colorful decorations like a festival.
Just like the change of festivals, colorful flowers and plants have covered the sky and buried the mourning for the death of Ponros Fell.
[To be honest, I have been using the book reader to keep up with the latest updates recently. It can switch sources and has many voices for reading. It is available for Android and Apple. ]
There is a lively atmosphere in Fengxi City.
At the invitation of Hongshun, Li Feng went to Baifeng Manor for a social event.
On the way back, basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze, Li Feng finally felt a sense of peace and relaxation for the first time in a long time.
Opening the personal information of the system, Li Feng went through all kinds of information again.
Player level, degree of divine integration, talent...
After reading it line by line, Li Feng felt very satisfied except that he did not have the original owner's memory and did not understand his identity as a learner.
However, Li Feng now feels that it doesn't matter about the original owner's identity.
As early as a few months ago, Li Feng tried his best to investigate the Exploration and the Li Feng who had the same name as him.
But after a thorough investigation, Li Feng did not find any clues. The only thing he found at the Shipping Registry was that the Exploration was just an ordinary passenger ship.
Its ticket price was affordable, and it transported ordinary merchants. There was really nothing special about it.
So far, Li Feng rarely thought about it.
Walking slowly on the streets of Fengxi City, watching the people coming and going, Li Feng did not want to take a car and was about to walk home slowly.
At this moment, someone suddenly called him from behind. Li Feng turned around and saw that it was the Wood Elf Morning Star.
