Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster

Chapter 241 Imperial City-State·Isamud (2)

"Aha, mean foreigner, huh?"

"Yo yo yo, isn't this the messenger of the dense forest? You're acting like this just after we met?"

"I can't challenge you alone."

"No, buddy, isn't this a gang fight?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't this a one-on-one challenge for us? Why isn't it a one-on-one challenge?"

"That's right, it can be crushed numerically but we are not allowed to crush it numerically? I think it's fair anyway."

The Jungle Messenger was still dead, and a group of players started to add insult to injury right in front of it, laughing and joking.

Strictly speaking, the strength of the Jungle Messenger is not weak. Coupled with its special skills that can affect the noble fishing ships, it is a very difficult enemy if one-on-one.

But this is a large map for twenty people. The more players there are, the greater the advantage. It is normal for the Jungle Messenger to die in frustration.

The drops of the Jungle Messenger are also very good, including a mid-level fire, a collection-level special shield, plus some equipment and some texts.

Fu Deaf was extremely excited when he learned about this, and directly used his small treasury to buy it. It seemed that he was planning to use this fire to promote his fire.

However, from the perspective of exploring the map, these are not the focus.

After a search, Li Miao and others quickly found more texts in the cabin.

It is worth mentioning that during this process, they also encountered a half-fire monster called [Jak Ancient Knight], which protected the living corpse of a king named [Jak King].

Of course, such strength would definitely not be able to defeat the wolf-like players, and they were quickly dealt with.

"really……"

After reading these texts with a frown on his face, the storyteller looked at the crowd and told them all the information he had obtained.

"This island is called 'Rigweiser'. It used to be part of the Kingdom of [Gak]. It is located on the edge of the city-state of Esamud, but it is close to the Gormo Sea area controlled by the Storm Sect. Most of the islands are former city-states. The old aristocracy.”

"Due to the riots on the Exile Island, the defense force here was much empty, so the old nobles joined forces with the Storm Cult and the Sons of the Jungle to retake it, and elected a guy who was no match for the royal family as king."

At this point, the storyteller paused.

"Then the first thing they do is bring back a traditional event that's fun for the people - the Big Catch."

"These marine creatures that have been raised in special ways are thrown into the sea together with the slaves, and then the nobles hunt them. The nobles who obtain the most treasures will receive the highest honor..."

After saying this, the storyteller couldn't help laughing.

The old nobles who were driven out by the Gulade Empire colluded with the two forces, and finally succeeded in rebelling while taking advantage of the empty defense of the Gulade Empire.

And the first thing they have to do after they succeed is not to expand their results or to prepare for battle, but... to continue playing music and dancing!

This is a bit too abstract.

"What kind of fun with the people is this?"

"It's such a big mistake that such a piece of shit can actually succeed in the rebellion?" Shangguan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Niu Niu, who had just finished dealing with another noble fishing ship, couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Now I know why the Storm Sect is exposed to [corruption]."

"How the hell can we run a rebellion with these insects?"

"Indeed, these are more corrupt than [corruption]." Li Miao also nodded in agreement.

"Hell, don't worry about it." The Black Mountain Demon rubbed his hands at this moment: "Speaking of which, we have to thank these guys. If it weren't for them, how would we have the chance to do this kind of real fishing activity?"

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but laugh.

No matter what mess you have, if it comes under our noses, it belongs to us!

“First come, first served!”

Frogboy chuckled, and then, regardless of his martial ethics, he transformed into a deep-sea worm and jumped into the sea with a roar, heading directly towards the royal treasure whale.

"Grass! Beibi villain!"

Li Miao and others' eyes widened when they saw this, and naturally not to be outdone, they hurriedly chased after them.

After the noble fishing ships are eliminated, naturally no one will compete with the players to snatch these marine creatures with treasures.

And this is bound to be a very interesting event.

"Damn it, don't tell me, this activity is really interesting!"

“Virtual reality version of Fishing Master!”

"This planner is simply a genius. He can actually sew such interesting entertainment into it without any sense of disobedience. Heli, it's so great!"

"Hey, Brother Miaozi, look behind you!"

"What?"

"Hahahaha stupidly, the royal treasure whale belongs to me!"

"Tianji Tianji, speed up, do it faster!"

"..."

The players were engaged in a lot of work, and the prop competition was also organized, and they had a great time.

However, the happy time is always short-lived. After the royal treasure whale was killed by Niu Niu, the "Fishing Battle" officially came to an end.

"Fuck! Niu Niu, you are playing dirty!"

"Oh, don't smear my innocence with your empty words. It will run towards me on its own."

"You went to Lingzhu to buy monster-attracting props, I can see clearly!"

"..."

In terms of cunning and scheming, it depends on Niu Niu. While everyone was busy chasing the royal treasure whale, he quietly bought props and set traps, and finally waited for success.

However, no matter who kills the Kingdom Treasure Whale, it doesn't matter. A group of old acquaintances won't have a conflict over this matter.

"Look at what treasures this Royal Treasure Whale has."

This whale is very large. Even if we don't mention jewelry, there are as many as nine treasures on its body. Among them, the treasure chest on its head is the most gorgeous and conspicuous. Obviously, there are extraordinary things inside.

"I'll open it, I'll open it!"

Niu Niu rubbed his hands and prepared to step forward.

"Brother Niu! Brother Niu!" Black Mountain Little Demon ran forward at this time, licking his face and said, "Can you let me open it? Please, let me open it. I like opening boxes the most."

As a senior prison player, Black Mountain Little Demon is indeed very enthusiastic about this. He was the one who worked hardest to catch fish just now, but unfortunately lost to Niu Niu.

Seeing the pitiful look of Black Mountain Little Demon, a big local tyrant, everyone couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Niu Niu was also very generous about this: "Okay, let's do this, you open eight boxes in other places, and I'll open the top one."

"Okay." Black Mountain Little Demon rubbed his hands excitedly.

So, under the witness of all the players, Black Mountain Little Demon directly opened eight boxes in one go.

There were many weapons and equipment and props in it, but more were some jewelry luxury goods and gold coins called "Jak".

But there was nothing to pay attention to this thing, after all, it was a kingdom that had been destroyed by the Guraid Empire, not worth mentioning.

The eyes of all the players fell on Niu Niu.

"Puh! Puh!"

Niu Niu spit two mouthfuls of non-existent saliva to bless his hands, and then opened the most luxurious whale head treasure chest.

The golden light... naturally does not exist.

Compared with the treasure chest opened by Black Mountain Little Demon, this whale head treasure chest seemed mediocre, with only an ordinary crown and a straight sword in it... and a rusty iron whale and an inconspicuous scroll.

This surprised everyone. "Ah?"

"What the hell is this?"

"No way, this is the only thing in the most powerful treasure chest? Could it have been swapped?"

"Haha, I think it's because of Niu Niu's dirty hands."

The players were stunned and unbelievable, and Mushroom even joked directly.

Niu Niu was also stunned for a moment, subconsciously doubting his luck.

At this time, Yuanfang walked forward without saying a word, picked up the four items and looked at them carefully for a moment, then looked at the storyteller.

"Your previous conclusion needs to be slightly corrected."

"What do you mean?" The storyteller also walked forward curiously after hearing this.

The other players took a look and hurriedly followed.

Soon, everyone began to check the detailed information of these things.

[Uncrowned Crown][Gak King Straight Sword]

There is nothing special about these two things, the key lies in the next two things.

[Baptism Whale]

[Type: Special Item/Consumable]

[Effect: After completing a specific ritual, the Baptism Whale will shed its rust, reveal its true power, and baptize the king. ]

[Description: An important item that is indispensable in an ancient ritual. ]

[Coronation Ceremony Scroll]

[Type: Special Item/Consumable]

[Effect: After completing a specific ritual, the Coronation Ceremony Scroll will show a dazzling golden glow, reading the coronation words for the king's people to gain the power of the ancient King Gak. ]

[Description: An important item that is indispensable in an ancient ritual. ]

After the players read the information of these two items, they were silent for a moment.

The storyteller was the first to react, slapping his head, agreeing with the words from afar and admitting his mistake.

"You're right... I thought too simply."

"I didn't expect that the so-called 'big catch' held by these old nobles was actually part of the ceremony to crown the new king and gain power..."

"No wonder no members of the Storm Cult were seen in this big catch..."

"It seems that there is a hidden conflict between these old nobles and the Storm Cult... The reason why they invited the Sons of the Forest is probably because they saw that there was a conflict between the Storm Cult and the Sons of the Forest, and they wanted to take this opportunity to win over the other party."

With Yuanfang's suggestion, the storyteller instantly understood the doorway and explained it to everyone.

Yuanfang nodded slightly. This time his idea was similar to the storyteller's.

Hearing this, the other players also suddenly realized it, and at the same time blushed a little. After all, they were just there laughing at these old nobles, but in a moment they were slapped in the face.

"I see..."

"So the ritual is completed only when the king catches the royal treasure whale?"

"I don't know what will happen after the ritual is completed."

"Brothers, my face hurts a little..."

"Haha, I've learned another lesson. I really can't underestimate the NPCs in the Lingzhu world. They are not really stupid..."

"You are being conservative. They are smarter than most of us."

The box of the royal treasure whale suddenly hit everyone, making the players feel embarrassed and put away some of their contempt.

"Lingzhu has put a lot of effort in this aspect."

The storyteller put down the scroll in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Mangzi looked around and found that everyone else looked like they had suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but poke Bulong next to him with his elbow and asked in confusion.

"Bulong, what does this mean?"

After hearing this, Bulong was a little embarrassed, because Mangzi's voice was always loud.

Other players also looked over after hearing this.

But after a glance and finding that it was Mangzi, they suddenly moved their eyes away.

It turned out to be Mangzi, that's normal.

"The things just now show that these old nobles are not doing this big fishing for pleasure. They want to use ancient rituals to let the new king gain power, and at the same time win over the Sons of the Jungle who have old grudges with the Storm Cult."

Bulong had no choice but to simply tell Mangzi the story again.

"Oh——"

Mangzi heard this and suddenly realized it. His voice was prolonged, but he soon asked again.

"Why are they trying to win over the Sons of the Jungle? Aren't these old nobles and the Storm Cult in the same group?" Mangzi's expression was serious.

Puff!

Hearing this question that didn't make any detours at all, some players couldn't help laughing.

"Hey! There's another noble tuna over there, Mangzi!" Li Miao suddenly pointed in a direction.

"What? Leave it to me!" Brother Mang immediately threw the previous question behind him, swung up the sledgehammer and drove away on the Spirit Fire Sail.

Stop thinking, just go play.

The players couldn't hold back and laughed at the scene, and the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After a while of fun, Li Miao and others in the distance discussed for a while, clapped their hands, and attracted the attention of all the players.

"Now the guidance of the spirit candle is in Rigweser Island, which means that there should be some useful information on the island."

"But the island is not small, and our collective action is too time-consuming, so we will be divided into five groups next."

"Next, let's choose a group representative to facilitate channel communication."

Rigweser is part of the city-state of Isamud, but it is obviously not the main part of Isamud. If you want to explore the entire map carefully, you must have a suitable exploration method.

Twenty people are too big a target, and it is not suitable for action in some places, so Yuanfang and others quickly made a division of labor.

The players had no objection to this. They often cooperated with each other on weekdays, and had already formed some standards and rules for the distribution of spoils, so there were few conflicts.

So, under the recommendation of the players, five representatives of the player group were quickly selected.

The five people were Yuanfang, Li Miao, Storyteller, Tianji, and Niuniu.

The group representative must be flexible, otherwise it is easy to lead others into the ditch.

Well... if we choose by combat power, Brother Mangzi should be on the list.

"Brothers, light up the milestone candles and then explore separately."

After formulating the next plan and purpose, the players quickly took action and headed towards the island town of Rigweiser.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions in the previous chapter, which is very useful to me. The author will try to simplify some content as much as possible and write something new.

But to be honest, I am a little confused, so I plan to read other books to learn from them... I will update it today, hehe
