Chapter 293 Various Causes and Effects (Filling in the Gaps), Find a Solution to the Lava Field
Chapter 292 Various causes and effects (filling the pit), find a way to solve the problem of the lava lord
In the Sun City late at night, the moonlight is bright and the sea breeze is leisurely.
In an alley near the dock, Murphy, the owner of the Water Snake Leather Shop, looked at the visitor in surprise:
"My Lord Ye Crow, you are not Li Feng."
Under the not-so-bright gas light in the store, Murphy carefully looked at Li Feng's current appearance. Naturally, it was different from what he remembered.
Murphy is the Zoroastrian Cult's spy in Sun City. He is a person arranged by the church to assist the original master in his mission.
Seeing that Murphy was suspicious, Li Feng didn't say anything immediately.
He walked into the store from the door, stopped in front of the counter, and said to Murphy behind the counter casually:
"It's just a little magic. Since I want to enter the Black and White Courtyard and look for wet moss, it's normal for me to find an identity that can do twice the result with half the effort."
Enter the Black and White Courtyard and look for damp moss.
This is the mission of the original owner, and it is also the task that Murphy needs to assist the original owner to complete. Li Feng speaking it out now can be regarded as proving his identity.
After listening to Li Feng's words, Murphy's suspicious eyes turned on Li Feng's face, and Li Feng also looked at him.
Murphy is about forty years old. He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. He has an ordinary appearance and almost no features that are easy to remember.
"Where have you been these past few months?"
Murphy asked.
"The Discovery I was aboard was involved in a shipwreck. After falling into the water, I was rescued by a passing hunting ship."
Li Feng began to reply with some truth or falsehood:
"I was injured and was on that ship until recently when they returned."
In the Endless Sea, there are many large hunting ships that go out to sea for several months.
There are many storms and accidents on the sea, and it is not uncommon to rescue people who have fallen into the sea by chance. However, each ship has its own mission, and you cannot return to the voyage specifically for that person just because you saved that person.
Therefore, the story Li Feng made up can be considered based on reality and does not violate common sense.
Murphy listened with suspicion. He could now believe Li Feng's identity, but there were still some things that didn't make sense:
"Why did you disguise yourself? Who is this person in disguise?"
In Murphy's impression, Li Feng was not an extraordinary person.
"I learned it on the hunting ship. There are some extraordinary people on the ship. They can make a lot of potions."
Li Feng explained:
"As for the person I disguised as, I wonder if you have heard of the student I accepted from the Wood Elf Morning Star of the Black and White Academy."
Li Feng was going to take advantage of it again, pretending to be Klaus.
"What?!"
Murphy was shocked:
"You're crazy, pretending to be a student of that wood elf, aren't you afraid that her student will really come back?
When you are exposed, the plan will be completely ruined! "
Li Feng could see that Murphy was anxious, but he also discovered that Murphy had also heard about Morning Star accepting students.
"The dead never come back."
Li Feng replied lightly.
"What did you say?!"
Murphy was extremely surprised:
"The invisible person who was personally responded to by the Stranger in the Shadow is dead?"
"Yes."
Li Feng nodded in confirmation.
"How is this possible? He was the person who was personally selected by the Shadow Stranger to respond. If he is dead, the Shadow Stranger will notice it. It would be unwise for you to pretend to be him!"
Murphy's voice was stern and his words were conclusive. Li Feng responded accordingly and just smiled contemptuously:
"There is no personal response from the stranger in the shadow. It is just the bragging of young people."
"Yeah?"
Murphy's tone softened slightly. He carefully looked at Li Feng's expression and felt that he didn't seem to be faking it, and immediately felt relieved.
But he still asked:
"Then how do you know this?"
"My Lord Nightcrow's guidance is just a little chance."
Li Feng said something very arrogant, although he could continue to lie all night long.
Like Cocoon, Nightraven is the name of a lava lord worshiped by Zoroastrian cultists.
Awakening the Night Crow requires a key medium - the Eye of the Crow. According to the memory of the original owner, the Eye of the Crow is in the Zoroastrian Church.
"Well, maybe that's true."
Murphy rolled his eyes and nodded in agreement with Li Feng's magic stick statement, as if all this was really Ye Crow's guidance.
This was something Li Feng didn't expect, but he didn't ask out loud. He just waited silently for Murphy to say something.
"The mission given to you by the church is to pass the Hidden Person assessment and enter the Black and White Courtyard.
This is very difficult, so the church sacrificed the people on the boat to our Lord. I hope your next actions will go smoothly. The boat belongs to the church anyway, and it is easy to sacrifice those people. "
The original owner Li Feng didn't know about this, so Murphy began to explain:
"But after the sacrifice was successful, you also disappeared, and something happened later, so the mission could only be put on hold temporarily.
Oh, by the way, with the current situation, the church is already preparing to send others to complete the task.
But now that you are back and have obtained a convenient identity under the guidance of my lord, I will write a letter to them and stop sending anyone. "
Murphy muttered the whole story, and Li Feng frowned when he heard that the Zoroastrian Cult sacrificed the entire crew.
‘It turns out that this is how the Discovery shipwreck came about. ’
"You just mentioned the current situation. What is the current situation?"
As a Zoroastrian, Li Feng, of course, could not say anything about the sacrifice. He asked about the situation that Murphy mentioned.
Murphy raised his small eyes and glanced at Li Feng. He always felt that Li Feng was different from before.
In his impression, Li Feng was a student who had just graduated from school.
He passionately believes in Night Crow, but he is also timid, weak and has no independent opinions. He lacks experience in doing things and only follows arrangements.
He is a very ordinary young man, with all the shortcomings and problems of young people. It is precisely because of this that the church sent him to lurk in the Black and White Courtyard.
Because for all kinds of eye-catching advantages, the ordinary ones are less likely to arouse suspicion and are more suitable for long-term lurking.
"You are different than before."
Murphy didn't answer Li Feng's words. He turned on the gas light and said something that was neither salty nor bland but pointed.
“The sea is the most tempering person.”
Li Feng replied that he understood what Murphy meant. Before coming, he had also considered different issues from the original owner.
But rather than imitating the original owner who would only follow the arrangements, Li Feng was more willing to find a reason for himself to change.
Anyway, if Murphy believed it, he would just give in to him. If he didn't believe it, Li Feng would have his own way to make him obedient.
"The sea is the sharpest... This is true."
Murphy smacked his lips and thought he was convinced. Then he turned back to Li Feng's previous question:
"You asked about the current situation. You must have heard about the murder of the Governor of Glory Island."
"I heard, who killed the governor?"
Li Feng asked. He knew the truth, but he wanted to know more about how much the Zoroastrian cult that believed in the lava lord knew.
"Don't know, but it's clear that those people are also looking for key vectors."
Murphy curled his lips and muttered angrily:
"Those damn cultists, they don't understand anything. They only encourage the things that shackle my Lord."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Feng thought it was interesting for a cultist to arrogantly call another group of people cultists, but at the same time, Murphy seemed to have revealed something important.
"The church will take action, so you don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is find the wet moss and complete your mission."
Murphy waved his hand. He didn't think this was something Li Feng needed to care about.
"All right."
Seeing this, Li Feng stopped asking any more questions. He just took the pen used for leather goods proofing on the counter, and then drew a five-pointed star pattern on a piece of leather scraps:
"I never understand what this pattern means?"
Murphy frowned when he saw what Li Feng had drawn:
"Why do you ask?"
The five-pointed star is the holy symbol of Zoroastrianism, and ordinary believers know it. As for the deeper meaning, ordinary believers do not know.
"I've been dreaming about this pattern in my dreams lately. I wonder if it's my Lord's instruction to me."
Li Feng was a little hesitant, but then said normally.
He had seen the five-pointed star pattern in Xinxing's Divine Enlightenment Church and also in the Zoroastrian Cult, so Li Feng believed that the five-pointed star pattern must represent something.
Maybe it had something to do with what Murphy didn't want to talk about just now, so Li Feng deliberately used the talk of dreaming about a five-pointed star to catch fish.
"What? You always dream...of..."
Murphy's small eyes rolled around twice. He was suspicious and shocked, but no matter what, Li Feng knew that he had taken the bait.
"Okay, okay, you have indeed grown up and are no longer a young boy. Maybe my Lord really wants to entrust you with a heavy responsibility."
Murphy hesitated for a while, and finally thought about it and did not dare to go against Night Crow's wishes.
Since Night Crow often lets Li Feng dream about pentagram patterns, it doesn't hurt to tell him some things herself.
"It's like this. The five-pointed star pattern corresponds to the five lava lords including my Lord Night Crow.
They are all very, very powerful beings, and they are all our masters and our gods. "
Murphy began his story:
"But ages ago, there were beings who spied on the power of our lords, and they fought against our lords.
And he used despicable means and used five unknown things to shackle our lords in five different places.
No one knows what it is that shackles them, but it has been passed down from generation to generation in the church.
The five lava lords and the five things that restrain them are equally powerful. In the endless river of time, no one of them can defeat the other, and they remain in a state of balance.
However, nothing is absolute, and this matter is not unsolvable.
If you want to break the shackles for our lords, you must find the five key media left by the five lava lords and then use the five-pointed star barrier. "
Murphy said, lighting a candle, and then brought the pentagram drawn by Li Feng to the candle. He let the candlelight shine on the pentagram:
"Yes, the five-pointed star is the holy symbol of our Zoroastrian religion, and it is also the enchantment that breaks the shackles of our masters.
As believers of our lords, we need to find five key media, and then use the pentagram as a barrier and the servants of our lords as a guide to awaken the five lords at the same time.
Only the five lords wake up at the same time and use the pentagram barrier as the connecting medium for their power. Only in this way can our lords work together to break through the shackles in one fell swoop and rule the endless sea again.
So now you know the key medium and the importance of the pentagram. "
Murphy's words are fascinating, and he has the enthusiasm that a cultist should have.
The five-pointed star painted on the leather scraps shone brightly in the candlelight, and Li Feng's heart became much brighter.
From his perspective, a lot of things clicked.
Thinking back to the five Divine Enlightenment Temples in Nova, the Pentagram Barrier, and the Gargoyle Mother, the servant of the Lava Lord, if you add in the five key media...
Well, this way, we can wake up five lava lords at the same time and help them break the shackles together. Then the reward is that the lava lords help Nova solve the crisis of world destruction.
It seems reasonable.
However, Li Feng still has many questions, such as what can shackle the lava lords?
Is it the angel mark?
Combined with the awakening of the cocoon, Li Feng doesn't think it is likely.
The mermaid Delana once said that because of the seven gods, the angels created by the God of Creation have all become mermaids.
And the mermaids have lost the ability to use the angel mark.
So for a long time, the angel mark imprisoned in the cocoon has become looser and looser due to lack of reinforcement.
So much so that Marsas can steal the cocoon and help him break the imprisonment under the instructions of the cocoon.
But for these five people, including Night Crow, according to Murphy, the things that shackle them do not seem to be simple.
Moreover, it seems that they can be used.
Li Feng thought quickly in his heart, and at the same time, Murphy sighed viciously.
Li Feng noticed something was wrong, so he asked him what happened.
"The Sad Theater, and what happened in Windbreak City a few days ago, have you heard about it?"
Murphy suddenly asked.
Li Feng didn't understand, but nodded:
"I did hear about it after I got off the boat."
"In fact, everything shouldn't be so troublesome, and I shouldn't rely so much on the pentagram barrier. This is all because of that damn Seven Gods' Patron!"
Murphy's eyes were fierce and his tone was vicious.
Li Feng: ??? How come it has to do with me again...
"Originally, the Theater of Sorrow has appeared, and the mother of the gargoyles trapped in it has reached the time to escape.
According to the plan, after the mother of the gargoyles escapes, she can awaken the lava lord cocoon.
Time has passed, the angels have become extinct, and the angel mark should also loosen. Now is the perfect opportunity.
As long as the cocoon wakes up first, it can serve as a powerful backup. When my lord wakes up, it can directly work together inside and outside to break the shackles overwhelmingly.
If the original plan succeeds, our five lords will not have to wake up together, and there is no need to join forces to fight against the shackles of equal strength when they just wake up.
Hateful! Hateful! It's all the fault of that person named Rhine. He disrupted our plan and hindered the arrival of my lord Night Crow."
Murphy gritted his teeth and shook his head, obviously hating it.
Li Feng nodded slightly. Being hated was common to him, and there was nothing to care about.
But he was very happy to unravel the ins and outs of the Theater of Sorrow and the awakening of the cocoon.
It turned out that the awakening of the cocoon was related to this.
By extending the timeline, Li Feng thoroughly sorted out the various causes and effects.
The Seven Gods chopped the angel, causing the angel mark to be lost and the seal of the cocoon to loosen.
The Theater of Sorrow appeared, and the Mother of Gargoyles escaped. As a servant, she would awaken the cocoon.
Then the awakened cocoon would awaken the other five lava lords, including Night Crow, one by one.
And when the cocoon awakened them, it would help them break the shackles of the original evenly matched.
By then, there would be six lava lords in the Endless Sea, and there would be no angel mark, and the things that could evenly shackle them would also be destroyed.
‘The plan is still perfect, but it was accidentally disrupted by me. ’
But…
‘Why did I get involved, and why did I do so much step by step? ’
Looking at the faint candlelight, the familiar feeling of being led came over him, and Li Feng was stunned for a moment.
Shaking off the feeling in his heart, Li Feng didn't want to spend more time on what he couldn't solve at the moment.
He had more important things to focus on.
For example, could he play the same role as Jian, but the role was just the opposite.
Li Feng thought, could he help the unknown shackles and completely solve the Lava Lord while awakening the Lava Lord one by one.
Then he could fish for them by the way, so as to exchange the degree of divine fusion from the system.
Maybe because of his old age, he recovered slowly, but it was good after all.
