Chapter 68: The Missing Bigwigs and the Otherworld

Wu Chang took out the letter from the interlayer. The envelope was addressed to "Professor Ebert".

He opened the letter without any hesitation.

The letter looks ordinary, but the writer is no ordinary person, he is actually an archbishop.

The purpose of sending the letter was to ask Professor Ebert, who happened to be on Briver Island, to help investigate the whereabouts of the Saint and others.

According to the description in the letter, the saint and others were preaching along overseas trade routes, spreading the glory of the Lord. Originally, the saint would send the latest missionary progress back to the church every two weeks, but in the past three months, the saint's fleet has lost contact.

In the last communication, the saint said that the next stop would be Briver, and mentioned that sea ghosts appeared in the waters around Briver and many merchant ships were attacked. There must be pagans plotting around the trade routes, and she wanted to find out the situation.

The church sent three groups of people to investigate, but no clues were found, so they wanted to ask Professor Ebert to investigate secretly and look for the trace of the saint.

"Hidden side quest: Find the missing saint or recover the stigmata. There is no penalty for failure. Do you want to accept the quest?"

Oh no, it seems that more than one big shot is missing on the island.

accept!

There is no punishment for failure anyway, so why not accept it?
At the bottom of the envelope, there was a crystal necklace with a pure white crystal pendant hanging at the end.

"Item Name: Blessing of the Virgin Mary"

「Item type: Special」

"Item Description: The pendant blessed by the Holy Mother can protect the Holy Maiden from danger. It is the coming-of-age gift bestowed upon the Holy Maiden by the gods. When approaching the Holy Maiden or the Holy Mark, the crystal pendant will react."

Wu Chang put the necklace around his neck and found that his attributes did not change at all.

It looks like a special item.

Putting the pendant into his personal space, he began to look through the clippings made by the previous postman.

A lot of information about Breavre Island was collected in the clippings, including the past and present of Breavre Island.

Two hundred years ago, Briver Island was still a deserted island with a harsh environment, few people, and full of snakes, insects and ferocious beasts.

At that time, the Kingdom of Ogri would escort serious criminals and pirates who should have been executed here and let them fend for themselves.

So it was also called Black Prison Island at that time.

It was not until twenty years ago, when the first steamship came into being, that Earl Germaine realized that sea routes would be the future of the kingdom. When he was rewarded by the king for hunting down pagans, he chose this island as his fiefdom.

Count Jermaine attached great importance to Black Prison Island and brought with him three ships' worth of belongings.

He brought new population to the island, brought churches, schools, hospitals, and also brought civilization and morality.

The Black Prison Island was renamed Briver, which means a place of peace and tranquility.

Jermaine is a famous iron-fisted earl and a well-known control freak in the kingdom. He claims that there is nothing he cannot tame.

It took him only three years to make the natives on the island, who were full of the blood of serious criminals, master writing, understand morality, and successfully integrate them from a semi-savage state into civilized society.

As for the price, it was only to reduce the number of indigenous people from more than 5,000 to 925.

Compared with civilization and progress, it is nothing.

The domesticated natives re-established families with the slaves brought by Jermaine, and they multiplied and prospered, gradually forming today's Bleaver Island.

Two months ago, Earl Jermaine suddenly disappeared with his family and his whereabouts remain unknown to date.

The townspeople organized several searches but failed to find Count Germaine.

Wu Chang closed the clipping and felt a sense of déjà vu about the background of the copy plane.

No wonder the residents of this town all look big and strong.

It turns out that they are all descendants of serious criminals and pirates, standard white people with pure blood that cannot be purer, so authentic.

The history of Brever Island also explains why the townspeople are so dogmatic about work and so hostile to those who break the town rules and do not value work.

Because they were domesticated by Count Jermaine. More than 5,000 were killed and reduced to 920. That sense of restraint must be engraved into their DNA.

After putting away the clippings, Wu Chang looked through the letters in his bag.

One of the letters caught his attention. Unlike the other recipients, the recipient of this letter was Tony Stark.

It's obviously a name made up by players.

When I opened the envelope, I found that the handwriting on the letter was the same as the markings on the clipping, both were written by the previous postman.

The former postman and the recipient, Tony Stark, appear to be exchanging information by sending letters through the mail.

The content of the letter only included the information collected by the previous postman on the last day. Each paragraph was not long, but the information contained was very dense.

"I guessed right. If you violate the rules of the town, you will be selected by the other world first. And you can enter the corresponding area of ​​the other world by breaking the designated rules. The other world I entered tonight was still the pier."

The information revealed in the first paragraph alone exceeded Wu Chang's expectations.

If this information is true, it means that there is a so-called other world in the town of Briff, which randomly sucks players into it every night.

And the inner world is divided into different areas. If it is not intentionally controlled, you will enter a random area.

But if you consciously break a rule, you will go to a fixed area of ​​the other world.

The former postman refused to work and ended up entering a dock in the other world. If nothing unexpected happened, that was the dock where he was executed.

Wu Chang sorted out the information in the first paragraph and continued reading.

"There's bad news and there's good news."

"The bad news is that our deduction is correct. This dungeon has probably been tampered with. Even if no players have died, it is constantly contaminating itself. As the pollution value increases, the danger in the other world will increase simultaneously. Tonight I encountered a monster I had never seen before."

"The good news is that the monsters I encountered were a group of murlocs. I can be sure that what we are looking for must be related to these murlocs!"

"Those fishmen are easy to kill. I tried eating their meat. It has a high fat content, like the belly of a tuna, but it's fishier. It's a pity that I didn't bring wasabi with me."

Wu Chang read these two messages over and over again.

Judging from the information on paper, his predecessor and the team his predecessor belonged to were a group of veteran players.

Their purpose of entering the copy was very clear, which was to find something that was related to the merman, or to the sea monsters.

Not only can they choose which copy to enter and vaguely know the items dropped in the copy, they also know that the copy can be tampered with.

A tampered copy will become self-contaminated even if no players die.

Wu Chang had never heard of even the groundless conspiracy theories about these advanced intelligence in the forum. These were definitely information that was tacitly blocked among high-level forces.

Once a copy that is targeted by a large organization is broken through, it will never allow other players to enter easily.

At the same time, the management bureau only classified this tampered copy as a special attention list and did not immediately send anyone to break the stalemate.

This means that the team the former postman belonged to not only failed to break through the dungeon, but also probably overturned the truck, so that these key information could not be passed on.

For players like Linghu, the news before her is enough to make her spirit, which has finally recovered, depressed again, and may even cause her to lose mental control under the heavy pressure.

But for Wu Chang, this feeling was right.

He would feel uncomfortable if the dungeon arranged for him by the Abyss Game did not contain some tough stuff.

He looked at the last paragraph of the letter.

"I suspected those fishmen were the monsters that attacked the merchant ships. I tried to ask the sheriff, but since I was on strike recently, the woman only gave me a middle finger in response."

"I'll leave this question to Logan. I overheard the mayor talking today and he said that since Logan works hard, he will be allowed to join the town council and become a real townsman."

"I will continue the strike tomorrow. I am looking forward to what surprises the dock can bring me after meeting the fishman."
