Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 485: Spirit Candle Promotion: Burning Spirit
Burton readily agreed to Rogge's request and soon went to the Hanging Sun Frost Tower to guard the captives of the Storm Church.

In fact, Rogge was still a little overthinking.

In such an extraordinary world, only the locals know best the power and terror of the so-called "God".

After all, they had worked under the Lord of Storms. The other party's great power was not fabricated or imagined, but real.

The Lord of Storms is so mysterious, not to mention the Candlelight that can defeat him.

This is why Chaman had no thought of surrendering or retreating until he was sure that the Lord of Storms had truly abandoned him.

Is it because he is loyal and brave, and can fight to the death in the face of danger?
There is no way out. I can't escape and there is no other way. What else can I do? I can only bite the bullet and fight...

Fortunately, Candlelight now did not seem to intend to kill them and even sent someone over, which made most people, including Chaman, feel relieved.

Yes, as far-fetched as it sounds, they are indeed grateful for it.

Because this shows that at least for now, people have no intention of touching the fish on the chopping board.

After temporarily resolving the issues at the Hanging Sun Frost Tower base, Rogge returned to Zhuxin Island.

The first thing he did was to anchor the islands that the players had recently explored.

As the number of players increases dramatically, the number of anchored islands naturally increases.

However, Rogue and Lingzhu now have high ignition points and are very powerful, so most of the so-called anchored rewards are naturally useless.

But this did not affect Rogge's enjoyment of the pleasure of "harvesting vegetables".

"A bunch of equipment? I can't use them. I'll put some in the store and keep some as rewards..."

"Hmm... begging for dragon blood? This secret book is quite interesting. The giant dragon... I don't know which era or age it is in. If we can find some key things, maybe it can be used by the players..."

"Something's wrong. Why didn't the rest of the ritual scroll appear..."

Rogge was a little depressed. He remembered clearly some key information that might be important. He had always been paying attention to the ritual scroll that might be related to the Belly of Medralga, but for some reason, he never saw the other parts of the scroll.

After collecting a pile of rewards, Roger saw Claymore who was looking for him and met with him.

When Rogge heard that the other party was sent by Agoni to say hello to him, he chuckled.

"These characters are indeed much smarter than that fool, the Lord of Storms..."

Is Agoni really saying hello?
No, he just asked Claymore to come and congratulate him and remind him.

He was reminding Rogge not to forget the agreement between the two parties, while also implicitly demonstrating his intelligence capabilities.

He already knew the news when Claymore, the spy, didn't even know it.

This means that the Fire Temple either has spies on Candle Fire Island or in the Church of Storms. If possible, when the two sides were fighting, the Fire Temple was always "watching the battle" nearby.

Yagoni didn't say it explicitly, but he was hinting to them that the Fire Temple was also quite powerful and they should not forget the agreement between the two parties.

If it is the third possibility, then the strength of the Fire Temple should not be underestimated. After all, not everyone can run around in the dark border.

But Roger was very calm about it.

Because he always understood one thing, that is, if the Fire Temple was really powerful, it would not come to seek cooperation, and it would not hand over the Hanging Sun Frost Tower, a place with unburned fire, to Candlelight.

"Okay, I understand. When the time comes, tell Yagoni that as long as he can give a reward that satisfies my group of warriors, we will do as he says."

Roger said to Claymore.

"Yes."

Claymore nodded, and was about to go to the Fire Temple, but Rogge raised his hand slightly at this time, motioning him to wait a moment.

"Are you planning on going over now? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Claymore was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Isn't this very important news?"

Hearing this, Rogge smiled inexplicably: "It's important, but there's no rush."

"Go play with Letalie for a while. I'll call you when the time comes."

"That... is good." Claymore hesitated for a moment and then stopped asking. He seemed to understand Roger's thoughts a little.

Then he headed in the direction of the prosperous years.

After dealing with Claymore's affairs, the players were about to log off, so they directly issued a shutdown update announcement to drive them offline.

Afterwards, Rogge came to the Candlelight Hall and took out the Time-Repeating Core in front of the large spiritual candle.

"It seems that only beings at the level of Xinhuo can save these extremely important fragments of rules when the world is broken apart..."

Rogge was thinking in his heart. The spirit candle gave him a lot of feedback. Although it was not very clear, he could basically understand the meaning.

Whether it is the Time-Overlap Core or the Broken Core, its essence is some aggregated basic rules of the world. It is for this reason that they can still ensure the operation of some independent areas when darkness comes.

The purpose of Lingzhu obtaining them is also to further improve itself.

"Firewood...firewood..."

"Not far."

After sighing twice, Rogge closed his eyes and began to observe the current state of the spirit candle.

[Spirit Candle] [Rank: Torch Flame (Upgrade Required: 1000 million, Time Overlap Core x 1)]

[Remaining wax oil: 3 million+]

[Spirit Candle Buildings: Spirit Fire Port (Level 4), Sin Furnace (Level 4), Demon Hut (Level 3), Candle Spirit Tree (Intermediate)]

[Anchored areas: Zhuxin Island, Exile Island, Jinghai Islands, Coastal Town, Ruins of the Battlefield between the Two Clans, Casa City-State...]

[Candle Spirits Summoned: 31+]

Yes, even after Rogge covered the resurrection of all players and suffered various losses after a great war, he still had billions of wax left.

This is also the reason why he is so confident.

To be honest, when Rogge came into contact with other forces, he often thought about a question, that is, compared with other forces, what is the advantage of Candlelight?

Can you draw strength from a broken world to strengthen yourself?

No, this is a required course for any force that can survive in the darkness. What a candlelight can obtain is actually not that much.

Is Rogge, the leading Candle Keeper, smarter than the leaders of other forces?

You're overthinking it. He is not that narcissistic. People as stupid as the Storm Lord are always a minority. And the other party is not purely stupid. For example, his final escape was very decisive. Most people can't do that.

If the Lord of Storms is like this, let alone the Fire Temple of Agoni and the Fallen Dusk of the God-Substitute. The former is a shrewd fox, and the latter is like a wolf lurking in the shadows.

Therefore, if Rogge really believes that it is his credit that Candle Fire Island has been able to develop to this day... then Candle Fire is probably not far from destruction.

Is it because of the players?

Yes, but not entirely.

First of all, other forces also have subordinates who do things like the player, and their individual strength is much stronger than the player.

Therefore, the reason does not lie with this point, but lies deeper within the players.

...In this world, the bodies that Rogge provided them were very weak, and they had to be extremely cautious when facing weak monsters.

If you are not careful, you might be hacked to death like a dog on the roadside.

If it were a local creature, it would probably have cried out in anger at the injustice of God.

This setting, which would be criticized in real life, is regarded as a game feature by players. They work hard to overcome it and even use pua to teach themselves “practice more if you are not good at it”.

Another most important point is the mentality.

All the actions of the players are based on the logic of the game, which means that the players will not be afraid of bloody battles, will not be confused by the darkness ahead, and will not be tired by repetitive processes.

In other words, the game has a strong positive feedback and a strong sense of achievement. Players can follow their own game logic and follow the "path" they want, which gives them the purest motivation...

But people who are aware of their "reality" will be affected by too many factors. Most people only think about staying alive, while capable people will begin to think more deeply.

Just like some of the studio players in Lingzhu who are now brushing wax oil, their daily life is very boring, but their purpose and motivation are very pure - to make some money.

If it were a native life form, on the third day after he killed the same monster, he would probably start thinking "Who am I?", "Where am I?", "What is the meaning of life?" and then start to resist.

Therefore, on Lingzhu's side, Rogge's will can be perfectly and resolutely implemented. From the perspective of a force, this is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

This is the advantage.

Rogge is very glad that he has firmly chosen to maintain the players' understanding of Lingzhu's "game" in all aspects from the beginning to now.

This put him at a significant distance from other forces.

And now, he has snatched the unburned flame of the Hanging Sun Frost Tower from the Lord of Storms, and will be promoted to a Burning Spirit, and will become even more powerful in the future.

With the snowball-like advantage, they are no longer his opponent. Unless they come up with something different, they will be crushed by Zhuxin Island.

"The brighter the fire, the more places it illuminates..."

As the words fell, the Time Die Core was wrapped by the power of the Spirit Candle and flew towards a deeper area, where it was quickly split and fused by the flames...
