Chapter 179 Shadow Cave

After listening to Rogge's words, the players present all had their eyes brightened.

Go to the Shadow of Fools as a spy?

No wonder the announcement said it was a completely different gaming experience!

Leti's base camp... I don't know what interesting things there will be.

Thinking of this, a group of players suddenly became eager to try.

However, Rogge quickly stated a new requirement.

It would be best if the candidate had enough patience, was careful enough, and had meticulous observation.

And it would be best not to give up halfway... Rogge didn't want to see a new face every day.

He also gave the players a shot of prevention, saying that this task might be boring.

Some players lost interest when they heard this.

They played games mainly to fight monsters, upgrade and explore, and this kind of intelligence work was obviously not suitable for them.

However, some players were very interested in this.

"Candle Keeper, let me do it."

The storyteller said.

As soon as the update was completed, he gave up editing the video and went straight into the game.

After listening to Rogge's requirements, the storyteller felt that this job should be very suitable for him.

Go to Leti's hometown, the Shadow of Fool, to collect information... It's full of materials!

Just find something, I'm afraid it's enough for me to make a video!

"Okay, then this task is handed over to you."

Seeing the storyteller volunteered, Rogge agreed directly.

He originally preferred storytellers to do this kind of work. After all, if it were other players, it would probably be a headache to think about it.

"However, this job may not be something you can do alone. You can choose your own helper."

Rogge nodded at him.

Then, he sent him the pre-edited task.

[You received a special task from the candle keeper: Establish a contact point]

[Task requirements: Gather enough people to try to ensure that the future contact point is guarded by someone in every period of time to collect information for Candle Firewood Island. ]

[Task reward: The candle keeper will provide the watcher with a generous basic wax oil reward every day, and if there is progress in intelligence, he will receive an additional reward. 】

This special mission is obviously very unusual. Not only are the requirements of the mission detailed, but even the rewards are long-term.

However... there must be someone in each time period, so we must find a player who works the "night shift".

The storyteller thought to himself.

"Come to me when you find enough people, and I will have someone take you to the location of the Shadow of Fooling."

Rogge nodded slightly at him, and then disappeared.

After discussing with other players for a while, the storyteller also said goodbye for the time being. He had to find a suitable candidate quickly.

...

The official Lingzhu released another short version of the promotional video.

There are dead islands and calm seas one after another. In the dark border, unknown figures are looming, which seems to indicate the arrival of the crisis, full of oppression.

On the island at the back, a spiritual candle is emitting a blue flame...

[Note that a large-scale regional war is being prepared. Players with a burning point of charcoal can enter the main battlefield and will be automatically assigned when the war starts. 】

【After achieving the winning conditions of this war, players will calculate and obtain contribution points in exchange for contribution rewards. 】

【Regional large-scale wars have not yet started, so stay tuned! 】

Most players saw such a new game prompt after entering the game.

"Only players of the Burning Charcoal rank can enter the main battlefield? Damn, I just ignited the war, how can I get contribution rewards?"

"It's over, I was planning to follow the big guy's buttocks to pick up leaks."

"No, I still need some wax oil, I have to level up quickly, I must go to the main battlefield!"

After learning that only players of the Burning Charcoal rank can enter the main battlefield, players who are not far from this rank suddenly became urgent and ran to level up one after another.

As for some other players with a larger gap, they can only choose to give up helplessly, but they are still looking forward to the upcoming team battle and actively improving their strength.

For a time, the entire Candle Firewood Island was full of vitality, and everything was competing.

...

The storyteller found the right person not long after.

As an Ah Pu Pig, he has many fans and friends, and there are other friends who rely on the spiritual candle for food, so it is relatively easy to find a player who works the night shift.

And the number of people required for this task is not too high. The storyteller thought that three people were enough, and he only needed to find two more.

Of course, just in case, he still found three people. After all, the game is a game. If someone has something in real life, it is best to find someone who can help.

Rogge glanced at the people he brought, and then nodded slightly.

"Follow me."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the blue candlelight enveloped the players.

At the same time, they also lost control of their bodies.

It seems that they have to go through a scene CG.

The storyteller was thinking.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed, and soon it was fixed on the gate of the temple in the Gales Depression.

Leti, who was leaning on the gate of the temple, saw Rogge and others coming, and quickly showed a warm smile and walked forward.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. You...why are there four of you?"

Looking at the four players behind Rogge, Leti was stunned.

"They will take turns to go there." Rogge said calmly, looked at Leti and smiled slightly: "As long as there is only one person in the contact point, it is enough, isn't it?"

"This..." Leti looked troubled.

"Of course, if special circumstances occur, their candidates will also be changed." Rogge added.

"..." Leti was completely speechless.

Is this guy too pushy?

That's too much!

Leti gritted his teeth secretly.

"Is it okay?" Rogge asked with concern.

"...Of course!" Leti showed a bright smile.

"Just make sure there's only one person at the point of contact."

The storyteller and the other three players couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this, and then they couldn't help but laugh.

This plot cg is interesting!

The storyteller understood the cause and effect almost instantly.

The Candlekeepers met with Leti before and should have reached a deal, and they need players to establish a contact point, but only one player can exist in the contact point.

But the candlekeeper asked him to bring several people and rotate them, which actually exploited the loopholes in the transaction...

Seeing this, Rogge nodded, then glanced at the storyteller and said to Leti: "Take him first."

Then he took out a small and exquisite candle and gave it to the storyteller.

[Obtained: Guizhuling Wax (unlimited)]

A special candle that allows people to return to Candlewood Island or come to Gales Hollow here, a quest item.

The storyteller took one look at it and put it away.

Then, he walked up at Rogge's signal.

After glancing at the storyteller, Leti smiled, took out a badge, and handed it to him.

[Obtained: The Fool's Laughter (Unlimited)]

[The Fool's Laughter (Unlimited)]

[Type: mission props]

[Effect: Allowing you to pass the verification of certain powers and go to an unknown area. 】

[Explanation: Only when you hear ridicule can you know the existence of the fool. 】

Same quest items.

This strange smiling face mixed with black and purple makes people feel a little scary.

Leti walked to the broken temple door, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a purple door directly from the wall above like a zipper.

"As long as you hold the badge, you can enter the world behind the door."

"Please come in, the spirit of candlelight..."

Leti smiled and saluted politely.

The storyteller didn't show any timidity. He held the Fool's Taunt in his hand and walked in without being hindered.

Then, Leti chuckled and followed closely.

After a while, the purple door disappeared.

Rogge waved his hand, and a milestone candle appeared here.

Then he looked at the other three players, briefly explained to them some methods of communication, and then took them away.

Of course it was impossible for Leti to allow him to go too.

Rogge also tried it quietly just now, and found that it did have power to repel, and it was very powerful.

The badge given to him by Leti could alleviate this rejection to a certain extent, but the power of rejection still existed, and it was obviously a conscious rejection of him.

No doubt this is a silent warning from the Shadow of Fools.

Seeing this, Rogge naturally gave up some of his ideas.

What exactly is going on over there in the Shadow of Fools can only be known after the Storyteller comes back.

…

After stepping into the portal, the storyteller felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and finally he was frozen in darkness, and his body unconsciously lost its balance.

But luckily a hand held him.

"Oh oh oh~ Why can't I even stand still? Don't fall, it will be too ugly..."

Although there were words of concern on his lips, Leti's expression was one of gloating.

But the storyteller didn't care about this.

After standing firm, the surrounding scene no longer changed. The storyteller took out a recovery wax block and threw it into his mouth, and then regained some energy.

"Follow me."

Seeing him standing firm, Leti waved to him.

As the storyteller followed, he also began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.

It was dark, dark and cold, with the ticking sound of falling water echoing, the sharp stalactites on the left and right sides and above the head, and the burning black-purple fire altar...

Everything seemed so weird.

By the way, where did I come out just now?

Thinking of this, the storyteller glanced back subconsciously.

The black and purple portal is still open, and the twisted power seems to be breathtaking.

At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from it.

This was actually a head floating in mid-air, with a strange mist lingering under the neck and around the ears, mixed with broken bone fragments.

【unknown】

[Note that the power of the spiritual candle cannot be deployed here, so the target information cannot be obtained. 】

The storyteller subconsciously wanted to obtain information through the game, but he only saw the unknown and the game prompts below.

Is this... the power of the spiritual candle unable to reach this area?

That's why specific people are needed to come here to collect information.

Many thoughts and speculations flashed through the storyteller's mind in an instant.

at this time,

The eyes of this smoking head naturally fell on the humanoid creature in front of it.

Its gray eyes suddenly opened, as if it saw something delicious. After a blur, it came to the storyteller unconsciously, twitching its nose to greedily absorb the smell on his body.

"Heh... What a novel smell~"

Excitement flashed in its eyes.

"I need your skin! Peel it off... You can have whatever you want!"

Seeing this, the storyteller suddenly felt a little nauseous. What the hell is this?

After looking back, he found that Leti was gone and didn't know where he ran away.

However, even in such a situation, he did not panic. Although he was shocked by this guy's sudden appearance at first, he soon calmed down.

Looking at the other party's extremely urgent look, the storyteller narrowed his eyes and then smiled.

"My skin is not cheap... What price are you willing to pay?"

The smoking head obviously had no intention of attacking him, but it wanted his skin... and its strength seemed not weak.

From this, it is easy to get a piece of information.

This place... There should be some rules or constraints, and no attacking behavior can be carried out.

At least, if you want to attack, there are limits.

This is also the reason for his calmness.

Hearing the storyteller's words, the smoking head became more excited, opened his smelly bloody mouth and spoke quickly.

"Tell me! What do you want? The currency of a certain country? Or a powerful weapon, or a treasure to improve your strength? Or a specific coordinate?"

"How about the location of a place with a lot of spiritual materials?"

"Or the secret treasure left by the powerful fire envoy after his death?"

"Or the information of other guys in this shadow cave?"

The storyteller ignored the smoking head that kept spitting bloody saliva in front of him, but thoughtfully wrote down the information revealed by the other party.

Information... Secret treasure...

And it seems that this seems to be a place for trading?

"Damn it, tell me, tell me!"

Seeing that the storyteller didn't speak, the smoking head was anxious, blood vessels swelled, and roared.

Seeing this, when the storyteller was about to open his mouth to get more information, the portal behind him moved again.

A headless woman dressed in strange and luxurious clothes and with a graceful figure walked over with elegant steps.

There was a blazing black flame on her neck, and black characters were coming out of it.

Seeing her coming, the smoking head suddenly distorted his face.

Then he was surrounded by these black characters and fell into the hands of the headless woman in frustration, not daring to speak again.

"..."

The headless woman seemed to have no interest in the storyteller, but just walked out with elegant steps.

This scene made the storyteller feel a little confused...

"Hehe, what a good psychological quality..."

At this time, the disappeared Leti suddenly appeared from nowhere and looked at him with interest.

He seemed very disappointed that he didn't see the storyteller's embarrassed look of being scared.

"It seems that you are not nervous at all, Candle Spirit, aren't you afraid that I will sell you out?"

The storyteller glanced at him and said with a smile: "If the price is right, it's not your turn to collect the money."

Leti was choked for a moment.

"Besides, even if I want to sell it, I'm afraid you won't agree, right?"

The storyteller added.

Leti was silent for a while, shrugged his shoulders, and pretended to sigh.

"Alas... What I hate most is dealing with smart people."

"Come with me."

Take a break today, update twice for now, and continue to work hard tomorrow
