Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 166 The crashed ark

In the empty room, Jiang Ke was about to reach out and touch the salt pile, but suddenly stopped when he reached halfway.

She looked at the rainbow-tailed pigeon serving as a "music player" and wondered: "Is this the treasure you call? Why do you expect me to take it away so much?"

Hongwei Lege did not hesitate, and the gentle female voice rang out: "If you can enter here, you should know the high priest of Anas Kingdom, right?"

Jiang Ke nodded.

"Although the peculiarity of time envelopes this place, all dead things will cycle with time... but I can only watch them repeat again and again.

That high priest, her power has reached the limit that I can understand. Even among my creators, there are only a handful who may not be able to compare with her."

Does your old man have fingers? Jiang Ke thought to himself.

The rainbow-tailed pigeon didn't know what Jiang Ke was scolding it. It just moved closer to Jiang Ke and submissively revealed a golden quicksand ring on its neck that looked like a collar.

A shining gemstone hangs from the quicksand ring.

"The contract she made with me is to give this thing to you. This is what I call a treasure.

All I need is for you to take it and the stake of salt, and I will be free."

Without him saying anything, when the gem appeared, Jiang Ke felt the ring become hot, as if he was longing for the gem.

The gem given by the high priest saved Lou Zhige last time, so what role will this gem play this time?

Looking at the gem, Jiang Ke hesitated for a moment and did not take it away. Instead, he said: "Where do you plan to go after you are free?"

Hearing this, Hongwei Le Ge raised his head and looked at Jiang Ke.

It only saw clear light from the latter's eyes, and... a trace of seven colors.

…

"Huh~"

Lou Mianshu looked at the salt crystals disintegrating in the sky like rain falling, and let out a long breath.

He knew that Jiang Ke had taken away the Salt Pile, and the matter had been resolved. Without the anchor of the Salt Pile, he could break the flow of time in this world.

He looked at Lou Mianshi who was still carefree - the latter didn't even break a sweat after such a battle.

"Lou Mianshi, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course I'm leaving. Is it possible to go back with you?"

The latter glanced at him. The bow in her hand disintegrated into countless small parts, and then turned into a bracelet, which was put on her wrist.

The tight-fitting tights she was wearing also changed into a comfortable cloth.

In the blink of an eye, she changed from a female agent to a pretty farm girl.

She threw a few light balls casually to eliminate all traces she left, then waved to her brother and left here seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

"..."

Lou Mianshu sighed and ignored her.

Both brothers and sisters have secrets and their own tasks. As long as they don't interfere or disturb each other, he said it doesn't matter.

He quietly looked at Jiang Ke who was riding a dove. There were salt crystals and golden sky light floating behind the latter. She was as holy as a goddess from heaven.

"It's great that you're okay.

I have already obtained the Salt Pile, what should we do next?"

Jiang Ke shook the crystal clear salt pile in his hand and looked around, but he didn't find the man in black.

What comes is strange, and what disappears is strange.

"Where was the man in black just now? Didn't she appear before?"

"No, it's just me. She hasn't appeared since she disappeared."

In order to divert Jiang Ke's attention, Lou Mianshu said:

"You get the Salt Pile, and the time anchor breaks.

We can go back soon. But this bird... I seem to have heard the high priest talk about it."

"It was left here by the high priest. I liberated it, and it promised to temporarily serve me as my master and go to the real world."

Lou Mianshu nodded. He didn't ask any more questions, but slowly raised the hammer.

The hammer gently struck the void in front of him, and a dark door opened. Behind the door was the mushroom house where the two entered.

He looked very relaxed, as if he was taking no trouble at all.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see the outside world."

He walked into the door first, Jiang Ke quickly followed, and the rainbow-tailed pigeon had turned into the size of a normal pigeon and stood obediently on her shoulders.

Those little eyes curiously looked at the world behind the portal.

The two of them left quickly. After they left, the world seemed to rewind and returned to its original state.

Including the huge pile of salt in the sky.

…

Returning to the mushroom house, Jiang Ke let out a sigh of relief.

Although this adventure is not dangerous, it has filled in a lot of doubts, especially about the mysterious high priest.

She couldn't help but rub the ring on her finger.

A second gemstone has been embedded in the ring. The gemstone is called [Locked Stone]. At the same time, the ring also has an additional entry, a quite outrageous entry.

[④. Time locking: If used on an area, all lives in that area can be imprisoned in the cage of time forever, and they will endure the cyclical punishment every moment. (Use times 2/2)]

After this gem was set in place, the "eternity belonging to the moment" given by the initial "moment of time" quietly increased the number of uses by one more time.

That is to say...

Jiang Ke can now choose someone to grant eternal life to.

But Jiang Ke was not happy at all. After she learned about the experience of Hongwei Le Ge, she only felt that [time lock] and eternal life... seemed to have some inexplicable connection.

Anyway, she would never use this ability on anyone casually.

Who knows if there will be any side effects.

"Do you know where Lou Zhiyue is? I heard from his brother that he should still be alive."

Jiang Ke asked.

Lou Mianshu thought for a while and then said: "I have never left this area, but if he is still alive, he should be in the botanical garden."

As he spoke, he went to a corner of the mushroom house, stretched out his hand and dug on the ground a few times, and took out something.

After wiping the dirt on it, he handed the thing to Jiang Ke.

This is a wristband with a chip embedded in it. It is exactly the [Grey Beast Field Map Sub-edition] that Jiang Ke saw back then!

"The Gray Beast Field has undergone tremendous changes over a long period of time. The energy in this map has failed, but you should have a way to recharge it."

"ha?"

Jiang Ke just made a confused sound and understood what he meant. Where else can energy charging be used? Isn't it the Xingjian City Technology of Paradise?

Then, she asked the question she wanted to ask from the beginning:

"What kind of place is this Gray Beast Field?"

"...It is part of the 'ark' and fell from the sky."

Lou Mianshu said it directly without making any riddles.

"After the crash, the high priest brought its body into the country, and then used it as a tool to suppress the Gray King. The power of the Gray King kept the space inside from collapsing."

"ark?"

Jiang Ke always felt that he heard things that were very inconsistent with his style of painting.

She really felt that her mind was getting more and more confused, and these unexpected things happened one after another.

Heaven, isn’t that the so-called heaven?

Is it possible that one day I will go to heaven for a trip?
