Chapter 79: Ignored Mystery

After returning from the Mist, Li Feng took a rare two-day break. Google Search Reading

Recalling the half-month of time he traveled, from drifting on the sea to finding Moon Shadow Island and meeting the Abyss Blessed Hunter.

After that, he took the Jellyfish and encountered the Hidden Pirates.

Finally, he arrived at Storm Island and became a priest of the Purple Gold Flower Church. He also experienced the first mate being possessed by a demon and the demon coming to the island.

Finally, he went to the White Maple Manor in the Ring of the Earth and defeated the Hidden Pirates who had driven the Mist Pirate Ship with his teammates.

Even if we don’t mention the dangers he experienced during this period, just mentioning the residence, Li Feng felt that he moved four times.

On the sea, on Moon Shadow Island, the Purple Gold Flower Church, and the White Maple Manor.

But during these two days of comfort, Li Feng was not idle.

He was not seriously injured, and some flesh wounds, even if he only relied on the treatment of the White Maple Manor, he recovered quickly.

Afterwards, Li Feng first visited his teammates who were on the ship with him. Although they had only known each other for a short time, they were all very friendly.

After returning, Li Feng was still very worried when he heard that they were seriously injured.

There was a window near the garden in the ward of the dreamer Jane. When Li Feng went to visit her, she was sitting by the window with a blank expression and empty eyes, just like she used to be.

Looking at Jane's empty right sleeve, Li Feng couldn't say the words he had prepared for a while.

Indeed, some injuries are never healed.

Deliberately avoiding the topic of losing his right arm, Li Feng and Jane chatted awkwardly for a few sentences, and after asking her if she needed any help, Li Feng stood up and said goodbye.

"I usually write with my left hand."

Looking at Li Feng who was about to leave, Jane suddenly smiled and said something.

Standing at the door, Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and smiled.

Unlike Jane's silence, Candice was still very happy to see Li Feng come to visit her, and she talked a lot more.

She said she was going to visit a pharmacist in the southern island, and that pharmacist had a magical potion that could heal scars.

Candice, who covered her scars with a dark veil, looked at herself in the mirror again and again. She laughed and thought that she looked several years younger with the veil on.

Li Feng was happy for her optimism.

Benjamin was just as optimistic as Candice. The battle had cost him an eye.

He wore a pirate-style eye patch like an opera star and said that he might become an opera star.

Finally, it was Am, whom Li Feng did not see.

It was said that he left White Maple Manor after Li Feng came back.

But he left a letter for Li Feng, which was written with the shelf number of the archives of White Maple Manor.

And left a message saying that Li Feng might find what he needed there.

According to Am's suggestion, Li Feng found a county chronicle of Wood County in the archives.

Wood County again.

Jamie Tilly once mentioned that Flint was related to Faranier in Wood County.

Wood County, Faraniel, who died 100 years ago, and Flint, the clues seem to be connected.

Since Flint is related to Faraniel, and Faraniel is from Wood County, then in order to understand Wood County, this Wood County Chronicle is very important.

Li Feng immediately borrowed this Wood County Chronicle from the archives and focused on reading the 100-year part.

But in two days of careful reading, Li Feng did not find anything particularly valuable.

Even the name "Faraniel" did not appear.

The only thing that made him think it was worth noting was.

50 years ago, a noble lady in Wood County died of illness.

However, at her funeral, a crazy and very destitute alchemist came and told the lady's husband that he could revive the dead lady.

The husband naturally did not believe it, so he had the alchemist driven away.

But a few months later, the husband went to his wife's grave to sweep the grave, but found that his wife's body had been stolen.

The husband was a nobleman with a lot of property. He loved his wife very much, so he paid someone to investigate the case.

According to records, there was a big commotion at the time, but the result was not ideal.

Later, the husband thought of the crazy and destitute alchemist, but when he led people to the alchemist's home, he found that the alchemist had already committed suicide.

According to the coroner, the impoverished alchemist had died a few weeks ago.

At this point, all the clues of the case were cut off and it became an unsolved case.

And this bizarre incident that once caused a sensation was eventually recorded in the Wood County Annals.

After reading this case, Li Feng felt that the alchemist's profession overlapped with Faranier.

And the county annals said that he committed suicide, which seemed to be secretly consistent with Flint.

However, the years did not match. Jamie Tilly said that Faranier had died a hundred years ago.

Of course, the information he got was not necessarily completely correct.

But there was one thing that Li Feng couldn't figure out.

As a person who could attract the attention of the existence behind the Moon Shadow Potion, and who could write the profound and complex knowledge in the 10-page manuscript, would Faranil fall into poverty?

Not really.

Even if he sold a little of his alchemical potion, he would live much better than ordinary people.

In short, he would not be as poor and destitute as described in the county annals, relying on others for support?

However, these are all just Li Feng's guesses.

Whether there is any relationship between them is hard to say now.

…

The bright moon, as bright as a silver plate, gradually fell, and the eastern sky turned pale.

Today is July 15th.

In the early morning, Li Feng sat at the desk and quietly looked at the large "15" on the calendar.

Today is the 15th day since he and other players traveled here, and it is also the day the system says the first cycle ends.

The system never explicitly stated what the first cycle meant. Li Feng and other players defaulted to it as the date of settlement of tasks and camp selection.

Li Feng opened the system panel and called up the player's mission progress.

Since Li Feng has completed the mission long ago, he has not paid attention to the mission progress of other players recently.

Now we can see that after 15 days, the number of players who have completed the three tasks has reached 618.

The current number of survivors is 787, 90 people were killed by the abyss camp, and 123 people died in other incidents.

In other words, the vast majority of players have completed the mission.

The [Countdown to the first cycle of the game] under the task progress has changed from less than 2 days yesterday to a countdown that decreases by seconds.

Although I don't know what the purpose of this first cycle of the system is, Li Feng couldn't see any reason for it, so he simply didn't think about it.

There is a big event in Wind's Breath today, that is, the Governor is going to hold a grand procession and dinner to fight off the demons.

And Li Feng also had something to do. He wanted to visit Bishop Frey, who was in a trance due to self-blame.

Yesterday afternoon, Reverend Ralph came to visit Li Feng at Bai Feng Manor. He told Li Feng what had happened outside in the past few days.

In the days when Li Feng was involved in the Mist incident, mutated rats were rampant in the dock area, and many people were injured by the rats.

Bishop Frey was very kind and he always tried his best to treat the injured people.

During this period, he met a seriously injured little boy.

The little boy was an orphan with a miserable life experience. Before he was injured, he had been running errands for people in the dock area for a living.

Bishop Frey looked at the little boy and couldn't help but think of his own childhood experience and sympathized with him.

The bishop intended to keep him in the church and provide him with educational opportunities.

The little boy is also very sensible. After his injury improved, he has been doing his best to help the busy bishops and priests and do what he can.

This was supposed to be a happy and happy ending, but one night.

Glutinous rice

For some reason, the little boy who was taking care of the patient suddenly behaved strangely.

Just like Bishop Frey's dream, the shark's head emerged from the boy's ribs.

Then, like the first mate, he became a terrifying demon.

But this is not the most tragic part. The most tragic thing is that the little boy was taking care of the patients before the mutation.

After the mutation, these patients became the targets of his attack.

The tragedy happened in an instant.

at last.

Dozens of patients and several priests died from the mutated little boy, who was eventually killed by Jory Fell and a group of knights.

After the death of the little boy, the mutated rats in the dock area disappeared. No matter how hard the soldiers of Storm's End searched, they could not find a single one.

Therefore, the Governor declares that the demon has been defeated, which is why he has decided to hold a banquet this evening.

But the same incident dealt a huge blow to Bishop Frey.

He blamed himself for leaving the little boy in church.

If he was allowed to return to the dock area after his injury improved, it would not have caused so many patients and the death of priests in an instant.

Also, if he had predicted all this and did not save the little boy and let him die, or killed him in advance, would he have been able to prevent him from being descended by the devil and killing innocent people.

According to Ralph, Bishop Frey has been stuck in these problems for the past two days, and his condition seems to be getting worse and worse. He hopes that Li Feng can go and persuade the bishop.

"I kept thinking, did I do something wrong?"

In the Purple Flower Church, Bishop Frey asked Li Feng.

He was much thinner than the last time he was separated from Li Feng.

Li Feng is not a person who can comfort and enlighten others, but now he can use the knowledge of time travellers.

After being fooled by various chicken soups, Bishop Frey got much better.

It seemed that he had found someone to talk to. Bishop Frey talked a lot to Li Feng.

I thought I was just talking about some parents, but there were two things that Li Feng felt were wrong the more he heard about them.

First, Bishop Frey wanted to keep the little boy in the church for another reason besides seeing his own childhood.

That is, as a light prayer, he saw the little boy's future in the candlelight.

In the candlelight, he saw that the little boy had become a powerful and upright prayer man, and brought a brighter future to the Purple Flower Church.

Bishop Frey believed in his foresight, which he believed was a revelation given to him by the goddess of wisdom and life.

So when the final tragedy happened, it was even more difficult for him to accept it.

But to Li Feng, this revelation sounded more like it was given to him by the devil or evil god in order to destroy the bishop.

Because in the system's career introduction, the description of the light prayer is:

"Fate often gives light-praying people some revelations, but be careful, they may be the whispers of the evil god."

Combined with Bishop Frey, this revelation that is obviously wrong and brings a blow to those who pray for light, how could it be given by the goddess of wisdom and life.

But the question is, will things really end here?

A demon or an evil god, risking his influence on the goddess's followers, just to kill a few patients and then attack Bishop Frey?

Is it really that simple? Rather than having follow-up plans?

As if to strengthen Li Feng's doubts, he quickly confirmed the second thing from Bishop Frey.

When the mutated little boy was killed, the mutated rats that were rampant in the dock area disappeared.

The explanation given by Fengxi Castle was that the demons that were about to descend had been repelled and they had rolled back into the sea, so the rats disappeared.

But to Li Feng, this thing was just like fighting a boss in a game. When the boss died, the monsters disappeared, and then everyone opened the box together.

But is this a game? Li Feng really hoped it was a game, but the reality was not like that.

Could it be that after the demons failed to descend, the mutated rats lined up and committed suicide by jumping into the sea?

How could it be so strange?

These two unreasonable situations made Li Feng always feel that this matter would not end so easily.

What's more, Susan and Marcus were still missing.

The hot wind of midsummer blew through the church courtyard, disturbing the shadows of the trees.

"Are you really not going? The king's envoy and some high-ranking officials of the Earth Ring will also attend this banquet."

Hong Falcon, who had nothing to do today, also came to visit the bishop.

As well-known figures in Wind's Rest, Hong Falcon and the bishop were invited to attend the Governor's dinner today.

Li Feng, as a person involved in the Mist incident and under the operation of Hong Falcon, was also on the invitation list.

But when he heard Hong Falcon's words, Li Feng shook his head.

Hong Falcon treated him very well indeed, and he also understood what Hong Falcon meant. Hong Falcon was providing him with the opportunity to meet people in high positions and power.

For example, to meet the king's envoy and the high-ranking officials of the Earth Ring.

Even if this is a supernatural world, interpersonal relationships and the expansion of personal connections are needed.

"By the way, the great fortune teller of Wind's Rest will also attend. She has no status in Wind's Rest, but the Earth Ring is very interested in people with divination abilities."

Hong Falcon's meaning is very clear.

That is to say, this person will have a future, and you should get to know her when she is down and out, and you will have personal connections in the future.

But Li Feng's mouth twitched after hearing this. He still had doubts about the fortune teller's fortune telling ability.

If the Ring of the Earth was interested in his fortune telling, who knows how many of his own people would be pitted in the future.

Despite his complaints, Li Feng still thanked Hong Kushal and declined his kindness.

There are too many unsolved mysteries in the entire demon incident.

Why did the Mist grow a heart, and where did the demon minions that made the demon puppets come from?

There are also Susan and Marcus who are missing.

Susan is suspected to be related to the Hidden One, and Marcus seems to have gone crazy.

In addition, there is the revelation that Bishop Frey is suspected to be affected by the devil, and the mice that suddenly disappeared.

There is no result for these things. Li Feng always feels that something is going to happen. As for the banquet, he is not in the mood at all.

In addition, there is another thing as a player.

Today is the last day of the so-called first cycle.

Looking at the sunset, Li Feng, who originally thought that the boat would be straight when the bridge came, suddenly took this matter seriously.

I didn’t think much about it before, and I didn’t have time to think about it.

But now that the deadline is approaching, he suddenly felt it.

Since there is a first cycle, does it also mean that there will be a second cycle, a third cycle...

So does it mean that after today, the system will arrange new player tasks.

Or...

After today, the system will bring in a new batch of players, just like they did 15 days ago.

After all, they are not the first batch of players.

But if this is true, what about the original bodies of the players who traveled through time?

Will they die directly?

But I haven’t heard of mass deaths before the time travel.

Didn’t they travel from the same world?

But how to explain the alchemy lamp that is exactly the same as the Bunsen burner?

Coincidence? The ordinary world?

In any case, Li Feng felt that this game system that can digitize extraordinary power and faintly surpass the extraordinary world would not be so simple.
