How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Snapped.

The answer she got was a slap on her little face.

Although it is hard to imagine that any team can clear the Abyss difficulty dungeon now, there are always groups of players with nothing to do at the entrance of the Black Prison Forest, or there are people sent by the guild to check the clearance list. If they find out, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble here, so after saying goodbye to each other, they left quickly.

As if this speculation was fulfilled, Dolan and the others, who had not yet walked out of the forest ruins, soon received the message from the Red Rose.

"Dolan, Shanhu, and Shuiyan, a team that has cleared the Abyss difficulty for the first time suddenly appeared in the Black Prison Forest, and they have completed it 100%. Did you know?"

Only a few minutes had passed since the dungeon was cleared, but the news had already reached Red Rose, which was enough to prove the guild's strength in obtaining intelligence, and at the same time indirectly proved their importance to the Black Prison Forest dungeon.

However, these two points should also be true for other guilds. Dolan guessed that this news has probably already reached the ears of the presidents of the major guilds. After all, the fierce competition on the previous clearance list was enough to show that it was not only their Rose Heart that paid great attention to this.

"Well...we are right here."

"I almost forgot, but what team could have such strength? Storm and Star Myth can be ruled out. After all, there is no reason for them to miss such a publicity opportunity. Could it be that those famous game studios are involved? But there doesn't seem to be any big movement over there, which is a bit strange."

Red Rose was still thinking, but suddenly thought of something and asked in the communication channel, "By the way, Eleven told me that the nightmare level has not been cleared yet. Is there any problem on your side? Do you need me to send some backbones or borrow some equipment?"

Dolan was silent for a moment, looked at Coral and Shuiyan beside her, and replied.

"President, we are the team that cleared the Abyss Level difficulty."

"..."

"..."

"!?"

The internal communication of the Rose Heart seemed to have come to a brief standstill because of some explosive news. On the other side, Hill and I had already left the forest ruins and returned to the Holy Light Monastery.

"Hehe, Hill is probably being targeted."

Thinking about the looks of Dolan and Hong Shanhu when they parted, I am sure that Hill was definitely listed as a person of special care.

Fortunately, he didn't give out his friends at my suggestion, otherwise, Hill would definitely not be good at dealing with the passionate offensive of Rose Heart.

However, Hill didn't care about this, but looked like he was in deep thought. "Your Highness, I don't quite understand why Gilbert didn't admit it until his death."

It turned out that he was thinking about the plot, but unexpectedly, Hill still carefully discovered something unusual.

After all, what I told her was just a guide, so it's reasonable for her to have such doubts since she hasn't read the entire story.

"Because he didn't do it in the first place."

I smiled slightly.

……

……

Some people actually guessed the plot to some extent, you guys are awesome.

Chapter 134 The truth behind

"Because he didn't do it in the first place."

After hearing what I said, although there was not much expression on her face, Hill's gray pupils clearly revealed a look of confusion. Even though she had been able to feel it vaguely before, she was still deeply confused about the details.

"Doesn't it feel strange? All the evidence points to Gilbert. According to the plot, everyone will think that Gilbert is the culprit."

I smiled and listed a few unusual places. "But in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will feel that something is wrong, such as the altar in the dryad territory. The dryad territory is quite a distance away from the wooden house and the woods, and the cross found by Sean in the altar, etc."

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with the cross?" Hill noticed the emphasis in my words.

"Of course, Hill, think about it. Reese said it before, right? The cross is Alpha's token. So why did Alpha's token appear at the altar? Moreover, he knew that we had his token but didn't take it back. Instead, he gave us holy water that could purify us. Don't you think it's a bit too natural? It's like he's guiding us."

I paused and continued, "The cross was originally golden, so how did it turn gray and black? Considering that the altar can seal mutated monsters, can we conclude that the altar can also use the energy of the cross to create mutations?"

"Your Highness, are you trying to say that Alpha is actually the culprit behind this incident?" Hill understood a little, but also gave his own opinion, "But is it possible that Gilbert stole the token, so Alpha would chase him here?"

"Gilbert used the black crystal as a medium for the forbidden technique, and he had no reason to cause a change. He was being hunted, so why would he do something so eye-catching?"

Hill fell into deep thought, and seemed to have agreed with what I said.

Seeing this, I continued to add, "The most important thing is, Hill, do you think the altar in the Dryad Territory can be built in a short time?"

As if he had touched upon a crucial point, Hill recalled something and muttered to himself, "Gilbert has only been in the Black Prison Forest for a few days, and he is still injured. In comparison, Alpha has stayed here for a relatively long time before..."

"But if it was really Alpha who caused the mutation, what was his purpose?"

"It was mentioned before that this was a forbidden technique of the Secret Council. Alpha should have conducted unknown research during his stay in the Black Prison Forest. The altar was also left behind at that time. He thought it was safe there, but he didn't expect Gilbert to defect to the vicinity of the Black Prison Forest. He was worried that the other party would know that he had been exposed to forbidden techniques, so he took the initiative to apply to the Secret Council to hunt down Gilbert."

"So the reason for the change was to push all the traces of the forbidden technique research left by me in the Black Prison Forest onto Gilbert. Finally, I used the adventurers and the Meryl siblings to avoid a direct encounter with Gilbert and get myself out of it completely."

"Your Highness, now that you mention it, Alpha can indeed do these things, regardless of his motivation or ability."

"After all, this is the biggest possibility I can think of."

Hill couldn't help but be stunned, "It's just your Highness's guess?"

"Of course, these are just my speculations based on the plot details. Kasaria didn't write it directly, and the ending of the plot was also left blank, so I actually have no concrete evidence to prove that Alpha is the culprit."

I stretched, shrugged, and looked somewhat helpless.

"I see. These are all left intentionally by Miss Kasalia. The overt and covert plots complement each other, leading the way through various foreshadowings, but without explaining them. In the end, the blank space is used to give the readers ample room for imagination."

Although there was no change in her expression, her words clearly revealed some emotion, which was rare for Hill. "It is not without reason that Miss Kasalia can become a famous writer in the Orwin Empire."

"Indeed." I agreed with Hill's words and nodded, "Except for the bad taste."

I don’t know if we thought of some plots at the same time, but Hill and I suddenly fell silent.

Finally, it was Hill who broke the silent atmosphere with a light cough. "Since Your Highness has decided to show the skills and strategies of the Black Prison Forest, you must have fully explored the value of this dungeon."

"That's about it. After I release this guide in a couple of days, as long as my equipment and strength can keep up, I should be able to clear the Abyss dungeon." Thinking of what I've gained in the past few days, I'm in a very good mood, which can be seen from my cheerful pace at this moment.

"Then your highness, should we also leave? The Holy Light Monastery is becoming more and more dangerous for your highness."

I naturally understood what Hill meant by danger, but even so I shook my head gently, "No, it's not time yet. We have to wait until tomorrow night at least."

"Your Highness, do you have any special plans?" Hill looked at him and asked, with a hint of curiosity in his words.

"You can get a few more meals tomorrow."

I said as a matter of course.

"..."

For some reason, the atmosphere seemed to fall silent again.

She changed back into Sophielina's identity and returned to the monastery, and as usual, she received a lot of snacks from the knights and clergy.

There was once a great man named Engel who invented a statistical method called the Engel coefficient, which can well reflect the local development level through the proportion of food expenditure in total personal expenditure.

Can we now dig deeper and invent a new statistical method to reflect the development level of local lolis through the proportion of lolita control in the population?

"Eating twice for every meal, this kind of life is really decadent." After logging off to eat and logging back online, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and by the way, I was looking forward to what delicious food there would be tonight.

While I was thinking about it, there was a sound of doorbell ringing at the door.

Well, speaking of the devil, this is the time to remind myself to have dinner.

I jumped out of bed and opened the door happily, but I found that besides Kai and his companions, there was another upright figure standing at the door.

"Hey, Sister Claire...why are you here?"

……

……

What I actually wanted to say in the last chapter was that you (your wives) are awesome!

Chapter 135: The Adventures of Dragon Knight Alman

"I'm here to remind you to eat." Claire still looked serious and invited me, "Please follow me, Your Highness. Miss Hill has already gone there first."

Looking at the hand stretched out to me, I thought about it and decided to put my hand on it. It seemed a little cold because I had just taken off my armor. I could feel that the skin on the palm of my hand was a little rough, and there was a thin layer of calluses on the joints.

This is not uncommon for female knights who have been training for a long time, but it does not answer another question of mine.

"Why did Sister Claire come here specially?" After all, there was no reason to trouble Claire personally for such a matter. The previous times, it was only Kai and a few others who came to lead the way.

Speaking of which, are they acting a little strange today? I glanced behind me and found that Kai and the others were just silently lowering their heads. Although Claire, their immediate superior, was there, the atmosphere was a little too weird.

Before he could take a closer look, Claire next to him answered his previous doubts.

"I went to take care of some official business today, and then I thought of His Highness's affairs, and I just happened to catch up on time when I came back, so I stopped by."

Isn't this a bit too much of a convenience? This place is quite a distance away from the main courtyard.

I curled my lips, and then I felt relieved when I thought about the fact that she was also the leader of an underground organization in the monastery. "So that's how it is. Sister Claire, you've worked hard."

"Yeah." Claire was not good at speaking, so she simply answered and then said nothing more.

I didn't know what to say, and I smelled something wrong, so I gave up the idea of ​​finding a topic to talk about.

The atmosphere seemed to have fallen silent, but the silence did not last long before it was broken.

"Your Highness Sophielina." It was Claire who spoke. She looked far away, as if she was talking to herself, but the person she was asking was already revealed in her words. "Can I ask you a question?"

Claire's sudden words caught me off guard, and considering it was something like this, I didn't know how to respond.

After all, as the leader of the Holy Light Monastery, it would seem a bit strange to ask a junior for advice or something.

"Hey, um, what's the problem?"

I asked, pretending to be curious.

At the same time, I was silently thinking about a series of strange questions about the Holy See of Light, such as how many people in the Holy See of Light were doing concurrent coding work, whether the average "milk volume" was at the top level of the camp, whether the fanatical priests were adding points with all their strength, and so on.

Although the most likely thing this girl would ask is how many cute little lolis like me there are in the Church of Light, this way I can tell her without hesitation that I have not come to end this tense topic, which for me is like the teacher suddenly announcing a quiz in class.

"I recently read a book, The Adventures of Dragon Knight Alman."

It turns out Claire also reads this kind of adventure novel. Could it be that the heroine is a loli type?

I breathed a sigh of relief, but then I became nervous again when I thought of the key point about the Dragon Knight, a guy who claimed to be a popular novelist in the Empire but was actually the source of pornographic fiction.

If you want to know whether a knight can evolve into a dragon knight by using an underage dragon, then I suggest that you first go to the Imperial Prison and fill out an application form.

Fortunately, it seemed that I was overthinking it. Claire, as the leader of the monastery, did not have such serious problems in her thinking. She continued to supplement the brief content in the book.

"Alman met the girl Nina during his training journey to become a knight. They went on adventures together and traveled together, and gradually fell in love with each other."

"But Nina was later recognized as the descendant of a dragon. She was a perpetrator of all evil and had destroyed several countries. She was wanted by various empires. Although the girl had never done anything bad, this identity deterred Alman. Neither the knight's creed that he followed nor the holy light that he believed in would allow him to fall in love with her."

I understand the plot. Just take more stomach medicine and get through it slowly. The dosage depends on the author's update speed.

However, Claire did not seem to intend to seek advice from someone with experience like this. Although her expression could not be seen clearly, the seriousness in her words was evident.

"Your Highness Sophielina, what do you think Alman should do?"

So this is what you want to ask. Although it is natural that a female knight who was trained as an heir in a family and grew up in various difficult environments is not good at dealing with such emotional issues, but...

Isn’t it a bit too much to ask elementary school students such love questions?

Fortunately, I have watched a lot of anime series and read a lot of novels, so I know how to deal with this situation.

"Since you love each other, then be brave and be together."

That’s right, although this kind of adventure novel with a single female protagonist is a bit stomach-breaking, you still have to A when it’s time to A. After all, as long as the family doesn’t run a blacksmith shop, there will generally be a happy ending.

It was obvious that Claire was stunned by my simple and straightforward answer. She didn't say anything, but a voice came from behind her.

"But, Your Highness, their identities are opposite to each other. It is not so easy for them to be together. Moreover, the Holy Light does not allow him to do so."

Kai shook his head and looked over at me. The other members of the team also looked over at me. There seemed to be a different light in their eyes, as if they were waiting for my answer.

What a stubborn and conservative reader. If you follow the stock article, you will hesitate when it is time to A, but other characters will take over and cause the stock market to plummet.

But if you want to explain to them the famous stories such as "The group cannot succeed", "The berry is conscientious", and "The pear is exhausted", it will probably take at least half a day.

"Important things will only be hindered by things you think are more important. Do identity and race really have such a big relationship? And why would the Holy Light not allow it?"

"Holy Light is different for everyone, isn't it? To Brother Alman, love can be Holy Light, and to Sister Nina, it can also be Holy Light. No one else can define what the Holy Light that you follow is."

In this regard, I was too lazy to do anything and simply brought over the idealism of the church in my previous life. This philosophical saying, which was originally intended to win over more believers, might seem a bit strange when spoken by a child, but this systematic and rigorous theory is undoubtedly suitable for these guys who believe in the Holy Light.

"So I believe that the Holy Light is our true heart. If we follow our true heart, then we are not violating the Holy Light."

After this long speech, Kai, Bemira and others in the team, and Claire all fell silent, showing a thoughtful and entangled look, and it seemed that they needed some time to accept it.

"As long as... you follow your heart..."
