Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Changes in the Situation

As Anvis was officially preparing to explore the key locations on this giant island.

On the Yar Continent beyond the island, the changes brought about by the arrival of Players began to ferment gradually.

Gloria Empire, Palosia Province, Silver Crystal City.

A separate report on refugee unrest was placed alone on the desk of Empire Governor Kroli Simir.

The whole incident was simple in its details: a few petty thieves targeted a newly arrived refugee, but were accidentally discovered in the act of stealing and were killed on the spot.

At first glance, it did not seem to be a significant event from any perspective.

Refugee unrest—they were restless every day, a group of unstable elements, yet inconvenient to expel, they could only be left to fend for themselves in the Lower City District.

A few thieves died—every day in the Lower City District, people die for various reasons, and often the identities of the deceased are indiscernible.

Besides adding a few digits to the daily death toll, making the pile of bodies look a bit higher and providing the cold Necromancers with more conversion materials, there wasn’t really anything else to it.

As a seasoned Governor, Kroli had seen too many such incidents.

Normally, these daily occurrences in the Lower City District wouldn’t even reach him; his subordinates would handle these trivial matters on their own.

But this time, the situation was different.

The refugee himself was not even First Rank in strength, not enough to counter the thieves, the real cause of death for those thieves was the lynching by nearly a thousand people from the entire street.

Unlike the usual refugees, the newly arrived group was astoundingly numerous and their solidarity was so strong that it was abnormal. If one of them was bullied, the entire street of refugees would come to aid!

If it wasn’t for the chaotic actions of these refugees, the Governor would even suspect the existence of some organized force behind them.

At the same time, since the thieves that died were stronger than the refugees, many refugees were injured during the fight.

But the key point was that not a single refugee truly died!

The underground force, whose affiliated thieves felt a severe challenge to their authority, sent out a large number of thieves to kill the audacious refugees as a warning to others.

But after they easily killed a few refugees, those thieves were shocked to find.

Refugees who suffered fatal injuries fell and their bodies directly disappeared into a wisp of white light, leaving only a few items on the ground.

Upon learning of the eerie disappearance of the refugees’ bodies, the boss of the underground force was stopped dead in his tracks.

Fearing some High Rank beings’ scheme behind this phenomenon, he immediately ordered a halt to all activities and did not dare to proceed further.

By now, the situation had become far more complex than a mere refugee uproar.

And when the City Guard Army captured some of the rioting refugees, they interrogated them and learned of their origin, which seemed to come from a massive continent on the other side of the Endless Sea!

Due to some terrifying cataclysm, the continent they lived on had sunk entirely into the Endless Sea.

And in the last moments before the land sank, the powerful beings on that continent had used a forbidden Secret Technique.

They had transported all the intelligent life forms on the entire continent into a time-space rift, and gradually transferred them to other continents on the surface of Unival.

What astonishing might this was!

Clear in his mind, Kroli was aware that if what the refugees said was true, it implied a terrifying fact.

The full-scale invasion from another continent was imminent—

Since these common people could safely arrive at the Yar Continent and even gain amazing abilities like resurrection.

Then, what about the strong beings from the Sunken Continent?

In the struggle for resources and living space, what kinds of conflict will arise between them and the Empire upon their arrival on the mainland of the Yar Continent?

According to the follow-up research report by the Empire Research Institute on the bodies of these immigrants, if they suffer irreparable severe injuries, they will directly dissipate into light and vanish.

Afterward, they will re-condense into form at another location and fully recover to their state before the injury.

However, this death-defying ability seems unable to take all their belongings with them, as they always drop some.

Despite Kroli’s understanding that this power of resurrection couldn’t possibly be unlimited,

Even if it could only be resurrected once, that would still be an incredible feat.

"The skies of Yar Continent are about to change..."

Looking worriedly at the report, Kroli tapped his fingers on the desk, his gaze deep and distant, as if he had already foreseen the storm that was about to descend upon the entire continent.

But deep in his eyes, there was still a trace of barely noticeable fervor.

If, through some special secret technique, he could transfer the resurrection ability of these immigrants onto himself...

.........

"These [bleep] NPCs! That damn red-named monster’s also attacking me! And I [bleep] died again! [bleep] the developers! I’m going to [bleep] them all [bleep] [bleep]!"

At the resurrection point outside the city, a player who had just been resurrected was cursing madly, jumping up and down in anger.

A series of censored beeps, sounding almost like Morse code.

A distressing sight and a heart-wrenching sound to behold.

"It’s another one who attacked NPCs in front of the guards in the city..."

"Hahaha, another one gets duped!"

A few players who witnessed his impotent rage curiously gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Accustomed to playing other online games, seeing a red-named monster makes one want to grind them, especially when in "Mysterious Era", where monsters are scarce. Upon encountering one, it’s like meeting the developers themselves.

Then they fall into the developers’ trap—

The City Guard Army with all-attributes as question marks will become hostile on the spot, grabbing and locking up the player in a dark cell for solitary confinement.

Although attacking red-named humanoid monsters won’t cause shifts in camp alignment, nor incurs any bounty, once locked up without an escape item, only after three days of game time will the option to free oneself appear on the panel.

Meaning, if you accidentally get locked up, you might as well log off and go sleep.

If you’re even more unlucky and accidentally attack the City Guard Army, GG, Resurrection Crystal -1.

Although the server has only been online for a little over a day, the City Guard Army has already contributed a great deal of achievements to the game officials.

The official game forum is once again filled with complaints, as the developers are blasted with scathing criticism.

However, as one classic negative example after another unfolds before their eyes, players gradually begin to understand the rules of "Mysterious Era".

.........

Lavales.

It wasn’t until Anvis left the range of the town’s force field that he truly felt the curse power on the island.

It was an indistinct sense of chaos and erosion, with a strange vitality, feeling as if some living creature, in its lethargy, occasionally stirred.

Since it was daytime, the intensity of the Curse Field was very low, at most of the First Rank, posing no effect on Anvis.
