Chapter 171
"So... you completely forgot what we forgot when we entered the Moon Ice Pole?"
"I, I, I, I, I..."
Wow, why is Shuna so resentful now? In front of him, Will can almost see the black fog coming out of her head.
Uh... think about it carefully, she was injured to save him, but she completely forgot what she did near the Moon Ice Pole...
If it were him, he would definitely be resentful too!
Will decided to perform a sliding kneel, which is what he is best at now.
He clasped his hands together and kowtowed to apologize.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry! I really forgot. After all, I have experienced so much, fainted and sober, uh... I feel that the time I have passed is even several times more than before! It doesn't matter, from now on, I will listen to every word you say!"
"Good... such an overreaction, but... that's right. Little Will who cares about the real things is a good Will."
Shuna seemed to be coaxed to be much happier, and sat back in her seat.
"Why do I feel like you are trying to trick me? Then, what information did you get from the Ice Queen Chlodai of Yuexia Bingji?"
"In short, she cut it so that the Green Strange Stone could not be broken into pieces again, reducing the probability of it being discovered. And the person who sent the raw materials to her now looks like a witch, and it should be Liz who appeared in front of us at the end."
"It sounds like this operation is to prevent someone from discovering the Green Strange Stone."
Chapter 194 Purpose
Now about the "Green Strange Stone", the previous clues have been connected, at least part of the previous mystery has been solved.
There is an unknown "organization" that spreads this kind of strengthening stone, which is a "game setting" in itself, inside the dungeon, and its strengthening effect is indeed very effective, which can allow many dungeons to cross at least three ratings.
Although their purpose is not clear, it may be to resist some forces inside the dungeon...
Now it is confirmed that a witch is helping this organization. Through the witch's channel-from the fact that Leah can receive these large props so easily, there is a courier chain behind the Witch Association that does not need to be delivered in public.
But...
For Will, when he investigated this line, he was actually more concerned about who got the props that would only appear in the game in what way.
After all...
Only...
Only this clue can...
Will was interrupted by Shuona halfway through his thought:
"Well. But... I haven't finished speaking. I don't know if it's because of Leah, Liz finally told me a key piece of information."
"What is it?!"
Will looked at Shuona excitedly, even grabbing the bed sheet.
"Well... about this..."
Shuona folded her hands and stared at Will, her pure black eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
"I want to ask little Will a question first. Let's see if we continue to investigate."
"Okay, ask."
"Why... are you so obsessed with the source of the 'Green Strange Stone'?"
Will didn't expect Shuona to ask this question.
"This..."
But...
It's indeed "reasonable" for her to ask this question.
Shuona is not stupid, and can even be said to be the smartest person who knows him best.
"Because, if you are sure that the other party has a witch, the risk has increased if you continue to investigate. If the benefits are not that high, you will not take risks without certainty."
She was right.
A piece of "Green Strange Stone" that currently seems to be unusable for adventurers and only circulates within the dungeon, and does not seem to have much impact on adventurers.
Will will not keep holding on to a clue until he knows how big the risk is.
"Because you are not someone who will take risks. And... I am the logistics of your Qiming Star. I will protect everyone safely in the dungeon as you told me."
Indeed.
Will is very careful and cautious, just like the scheduling of making games, carefully and cautiously doing every link to reduce any risk of delaying the launch.
Unfortunately, Will is a person who "knows fate".
Unfortunately, this is something related to his life.
He has encountered too many things that are unclear whether they are deviations from "fate" or things that completely change fate.
But without a doubt, the weirdest thing here that can provide a definite clue is the "Green Strange Stone".
He wants to know why.
He also wants to know what will happen next.
He wants to know what he should do after this.
Only by following this only clue that has a follow-up and is related to "the game he made himself" can these things have answers.
After all...
This may be an important clue that can be related to whether he can survive the "death time node" in the next year.
"What if I say... this is an intuition?"
"Intuition? Hmm... So you also believe in intuition?"
Will thought about it...
took a deep breath and said:
"I have been having a dream. In the dream, I experienced many, many things similar to now, but... I will die in an accident in a certain underground city about a year and a half later. The closer the time is to me, the clearer the dream will be."
Oh, this is of course a lie.
Will can no longer remember exactly how the original work described him being crushed to death by a slime. Even the name of the dungeon is relatively vague - but it is well written in the "Quest System".
He saw that Xiuna didn't speak, so she probably believed it. She clenched her chin and kept beating her fingers with her knuckles, as if she was waiting for him to say more.
"And in that dream, the only particularly important item that I had not seen before was this green stone. So... my intuition told me that it has a way for me to avoid death."
"..."
After finishing speaking, both Will and Shona fell into a brief silence.
Then, it was Xiuna who spoke first:
"You think I'd believe it?"
"Guo... you really don't believe it."
Xiuna smiled and snapped her fingers:
"Of course I believe it."
"Um?"
"Your expression is easy for me to read. It doesn't look like you're lying to me."
"..."
Will felt a little guilty. After all, what he said was actually half-truth and half-false, with some untrue embellishments added.
"Although the reason sounds strange. But since you said it and it has troubled you for so long, well... it even seems a bit prophetic. Then I have to continue to investigate!"
Shona smiled and picked up a map from the table next to her.
Then he pointed to a small town called Tsemaat on the map, which was towards the capital. This town seems to be at the foot of a high mountain and is not taken seriously by people.
"The Tenth Castlevania, Liz told me at the end when she was leaving, there is something we want to know here."
"The Tenth Castlevania..."
Will murmured the name.
It sounds like a very powerful name, but neither the city in which it is located nor the name itself has ever been heard by Will in the original work.
but……
He was quite familiar with the word devil. As a royal family, the Entak family is built on deals with demons.
Such a special place might be able to produce the materials for the Shadow Nightmare Sword that Treya needs.
No matter what, I have to...
"Okay, Shona, then we'll do it right away..."
Bang.
Will's head was hammered by Shona, very lightly, as if she was flirting with him.
At this moment, she hammered off the "monocle" that was stuck on the bridge of his nose.
"It's not that I'm worried about your health, but let's meet your hardware needs first. For example, let's get you a good pair of glasses here first?"
"To put it this way, it's true that I haven't changed my glasses for several years."
"You take a shower today, eat something good, and we'll go out when you're ready."
"Um."
It is such a happy experience to have a "reliable teammate who will not go dark".
"Oh yes, there is another thing you may think is important. I want to give it to you."
"Um?"
Shona smiled and held a letter between her fingers. The letter seemed to have been stained with some blood-colored peppermint essential oil and was a bit old.
"This is……"
Will remembered it as soon as he saw it.
This is a very poorly written letter that Yi Aier sent to herself!
He did forget before.
No, it would be better to say that because of his encounter with Leah, he was also vaccinated in this letter, which made him ignore many contents in it.
"Your clothes were folded and put aside by her... by Leah, so I brought them out, including this letter."
Inside that letter...
The most important thing mentioned and related to "destiny" and even "green stone" is...
The original protagonist Xiu did not appear.
He disappeared.
At the time when he should have appeared, he did not appear in the novice village Novis Town, nor did he join Qiming Star.
At first Will thought he needed confirmation.
but……
After seeing Leah's morbid love for him, he realized...
The "disappearance" of cultivation may be the source of the biggest deviation!
No……
Perhaps it can be said that Xiu has disappeared...
This is the biggest "destiny" that has been changed now!
