Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster

"What you said upstairs is right. This female salary collector named Sekashi is extremely powerful and her purpose is very clear. Her purpose of saving Xiao Ming is definitely not that simple. (Pushes glasses)"

"Is it because Xiao Ming is handsome?"

"Humor, brother, you are the main poster, right?"

"It's better to believe that I am Qin Shihuang."

"I feel that the reason why she did this is because the 'Altar Salary' that Sekasi said is showing favor to our spiritual candle. (Thinking)"

"That makes sense."

"However, what does the altar salary collector have to do with the salary collector? Why do you have to deliberately add the word "sacred altar" in front of it?"

"I don't know, Planner Dog has hidden his background too deeply. (Spreading hands)"

"And the words I brought to Lingzhu... What does 'the time for rekindling is coming' mean? What does 'the essence of flame is burning' mean? (scratching his head in confusion)"

"It's so cloudy and foggy that it makes me dizzy."

"Well... the first sentence should be a hint that a big event is about to happen in the world of Lingzhu, right? The second sentence is not quite clear..."

"That makes sense! Looking forward to big events!"

"I don't care about this or that. If there is a plot, I will jump to it. If the blood bar is measured, I will cut it! (Sunglasses)"

"Hey, why is the head upstairs so pointy?"

"Then let me ask you!"

"..."

Players who paid more attention to the background story of Lingzhu analyzed and discussed the dynamic plot that Xiao Ming encountered this time, and focused most of their attention on the "salary from the altar" described by Sekashi.

After all, the Sekashi I met this time was different from the salary collectors I met before. Not only was she powerful, she also accurately stated that she was from the "Fire Temple".

But unfortunately, she did not reveal more information to Zhang Ming.

In addition to what happened in Sekasi, some people also paid attention to Zero Island itself and expressed their own opinions.

"I'm convinced. I really thought that Zero Island's epidemic was caused by Yin Lal, but I didn't expect that this guy is still a victim in a strict sense. (Confused)"

"You are too naive, buddy. The whole island has been infected, and only one child is left with nothing to do. How is it possible, that is, Xiao Ming will believe it. (Pick your nose)"

"It seems that Sekashi sensed something was wrong from the beginning or simply knew the truth."

"Bad kids kill people."

"Zero on this island was killed by several children, and in the end not a single one was left alive."

"Well, although that's the truth, this kid named Rock Bronze is actually quite miserable. The entire Zero Island is a complete tragedy."

"That's not necessarily true. If Xiao Ming and Sekashi hadn't gone, maybe Chief Yinlar would have ascended directly and become the only survivor."

"You defy the heavens and still ascend. Look at what Sekashi said, 'disease'! Doesn't that seem like a good word? There is also the blood oath that the man in the white robe dropped. Do you think he can really have good results?" Eat? (rolls eyes)"

"I don't know if there is good juice, but there must be pus to eat."

"vomit."

"All in all, it's another tragedy..."

"...In the context of the world of Lingzhu, there are countless tragedies outside the dark border. It makes me feel miserable just thinking about it. (Sigh)"

"So, how should we candle people save the world? The dog planner will give us the right words! (angry) (angry) (angry)"

…

How to save the world?

Good question.

As a part-time dog planner, I also want to know the exact answer...

After reading the discussion among the players in the forum, Rogge silently withdrew his gaze.

When Zhang Ming was suddenly involved in Zero Island, Rogge had been watching him.

And if Rogge is willing to consume a lot of wax oil, he can naturally enter Zero Island.

But Sekashi, or the "Altar Salary" she represented, made Rogge choose to act cautiously. Even if he got the whereabouts of the Broken Core, he chose to sit back and watch.

Because, strictly speaking, Rogge could feel that Sekashi, a salary earner, was different from salary earners like Ryan and Claymore.

This is true both in breath and in reality.

And Sekashi, or the altar salary represented behind it, seems to be aware of this.

Moreover, as the players have discussed, giving the Broken Core directly to Rogge can undoubtedly be regarded as a gesture of goodwill towards the Spiritual Candle.

But Rogge had no idea about the sentence that Sekashi asked Zhang Ming to bring back.

"The time for rekindling is coming..."

"The essence of fire is burning..."

Nonia read these two sentences again, closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, then looked at Rogge.

"Lord Rogge, although I am not clear about the so-called rekindling time, I may be able to explain something about the following sentence."

When Rogge heard this, his eyes brightened slightly, and he motioned for her to continue.

"In my memory of studying with Gray Mother, the first sentence she taught us is...the essence of the fire of life is to burn...to illuminate and warm."

"She asked us to remember this sentence throughout our lives and regard it as the code of the fire witch..."

Nonia said seriously.

After listening to Nonia's words, Rogge's frown relaxed slightly.

So... the meaning of this sentence that I bring to myself at the altar is to remind myself not to forget "illumination" and "warmth"?

No.

Rogge quickly shook his head inwardly.

It's true that Nonia is a fire witch, but that was in the past.

Judging from what Nonia said when she regained her memory after falling asleep, something must have happened in the Fire Temple.

So in this case, can "burning" still symbolize "illumination" and "warmth"?

...It’s hard to say.

All in all, the so-called attitude of taking salary from the altar is still open to question and cannot be fully believed.

Thinking of this, Rogge rubbed his eyebrows and smiled at Nonia: "Sorry to trouble you."

Nonia shook her head slightly, saying it was nothing.

Roger exhaled.

This matter can be put aside for the time being, but of course it is not the end, but a symbol of a beginning...

Right.

Rogge suddenly remembered two more things.

This little guy, Xiaoluo, has been out having fun for a while, but he didn't come to see him.

And... there is also Retali.

Thinking of this, Rogge's body quickly dissipated and returned to the spiritual candle space, and his sight gradually covered the entire Zhuxin Island...

…

"Zi Maomao Zi Maomao, let me tell you, these weird guys are really interesting. I will take you to see..."

Xiaoluo has made a new friend, who is floating next to her, chatting and sharing his discoveries during this period.

Hearing Xiao Luo call her, Retali couldn't help but glance at her arm, and then corrected: "Xiao Luo, my name is not Zi Maomao, my name is Retali..."

"But Zi Maomao is so missed. You can also call me Fenluoluo." Xiaoluo's little face was filled with a happy smile.

Since Roger encouraged her to come out and play, she can find different fun every day, which is much more interesting than sitting in a conch shell all day long and blowing bubbles.

"..."

After hearing what Xiaoluo said, Retali felt a little helpless... Forget it, she could just scream whatever she wanted.

Rogge let her stay here temporarily and did not restrict her from leaving.

Retali naturally has no plans to leave in the short term. After all, the terrifying extinguisher is definitely still watching and waiting for her to appear. Staying here is the safest option.

And what she has to do now is... observe the situation on Zhuxin Island.

If the Spiritual Candle and its warriors really won't do any harm to the Forest of Time... Retali is naturally willing to take them to their hometown with the Candlekeeper... even if it means paying some price.

However, judging from recent observations... well, how should I put it...

The candle keeper looks wise and calm.

But the warriors of Lingzhu...

"Yo! Yo! You coming towards me make me so ready to move~"

"oi!"

"Are you ready to go to jail?"

"Always be prepared!"

"Walk."

Night is the peak time for players to log in. During this time, it is not difficult to see many players emerging from the Milestone Candle. Some players started their prison career today after matching the passwords with their partners.

"..."

Retali couldn't understand it at all. She shook her ears and looked confused.

"Yang Fan, set sail!"

At Lingzhu Port, there is a cute new player who has just gotten the Linghuo Raft, pointing his sword at the sea, and is full of high spirits.

"Sister Qi, don't call me by my real name. I don't want to use my real name on the Internet!"

"Also, where did you get the sail from this broken raft, nerves."

The players next to him complained crazily.

Their relationship seems... quite harmonious?

Retali scratched her head, then looked to the other side.

"Tinder is on sale at a cheap price! The Law Knight Fire Tinder jump off the building sale, no 998, no 888, just 58! There is also a Gulad Empire Triangle Heartbeat Gift Pack, group buying is cheaper, you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss, you can't be fooled!"

"Can you keep this kind of fire alive?"

"You're looking for trouble, right?"

"..."

Stalls were set up again on the lower floor of Zhuxin Island. Some stall owners shouted passionately at the top of their voices, but there were also passionate scenes where sellers and buyers drew their swords when they disagreed.

A bit scary... Retali shuddered and turned her head to look elsewhere.

"Aha, look what I caught?"

"Wild rotten leather shoes and seaweed, oh my God, what a lucky day."

"Is this the sea's reward for me, a loyal fisherman? How generous!"

"Hahahahahahaha...ah!!!"

"Labour!"

"Aww!"

After sitting for a long time, the fisherman only caught a rotten leather shoe. After laughing maniacally, he immediately broke through his guard and chewed on the rotten leather shoe, biting it wildly, with a ferocious look on his face.

Damn, even a rotten leather shoe dares to bite my hook!

I'll bite you to death!

However, when the player noticed Retali and the small snail beside her, he suddenly stopped.

Then, his expression quickly calmed down, he calmly threw away the rotten leather shoes with teeth marks on his hand, and looked at them with a bright smile.

"Hey, hello, do you need any help? I'm more than happy to help!"

fishing? Catch a chicken feather!

This NPC wants to send me a task at first glance!

Looking at him with very expectant eyes.

"..."

Retali was shocked when she saw this, she quickly looked away and closed her mouth.

That look is so scary.

He shouldn't come to hit me, right?

"Giggle, giggle..." In response, the little snail lay on the shell and laughed non-stop. She could find some different fun in these weird guys every day.

The weird guys are really funny, so interesting.

"...No, Xiaoluo doesn't need your help right now. Thank you."

After Xiaoluo finished laughing, he responded to the player openly.

Hearing this, the fisherman was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and looked at Retali next to him with great hope.

"What about Miss Retali? If you need help, don't be polite!"

"Neither did she."

"Well, if you need my help in any way, you must come to me."

"Well, great!"

"Oh, so cute~"

"..."

Retali watched helplessly as the player was easily dismissed by Xiao Luo, and was surprised.

To be honest, with the furious look on that warrior's face just now, even if he suddenly rushed over to kill her the next second, Retali would not be surprised at all.

But unexpectedly, he enthusiastically asked himself if he needed help?

So weird.

Xiaoluo was right to call them "weird guys"...

After leaving the place with Xiao Luo for the time being and arriving at a place with fewer players, Retali looked at Xiao Luo and asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Luo, do these warriors... have great respect for the candle keepers?"

Although Xiaoluo should also be from Zhuxin Island, Retali felt that Xiaoluo's innocence and liveliness could not be faked.

However, Retali would not be stupid enough to ask some sensitive questions directly, but chose to make subtle remarks.

"Respect?" Xiao Luo heard this, thought for a moment with a small face, and then laughed again: "No, these weird guys often scold him behind his back!"

"ah?"

Now Retali was a little confused.

Looking at the condition of these soldiers, she thought they were controlled by the Candle Keeper or the Spirit Candle, which was why the player behaved strangely just now.

But now it seems that they actually dare to scold the candle keeper?

This seems... not loyal at all!

"...Why? Is it because Ling Zhu and Candle Keeper are not good to them?"

Retali quickly asked.

"It doesn't seem like he was good to them." Xiao Luo blinked and recalled, "They seem to like to scold him when they are in a bad mood. Well... they also scold Lingzhu, for everything!"

Xiao Luo remembered the group of weird guys with staffs that she saw when she went to Jinghai Islands before.

"Still scolding Lingzhu?!"

When Retali heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she even felt a little numb.

If she had suspected that these soldiers might be controlled just now, she had completely given up the idea now.

The reason is simple.

That is, in the Forest of Time, let alone scolding the sacred tree, she never even had the thought of being disrespectful to the sacred tree.

After all, that was the great existence that protected them.

During her time on Zhuxin Island, Retali could easily deduce that the importance of the spiritual candle to this group of warriors was not only as important as the sacred tree to the years and years, but it might even be more important.

But these warriors... actually dare to insult the spirit candle and the candle keeper?

This is simply appalling!

Thanks to ‘Arrietty’ for the tip, thank you very much!
