Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Misfortune Investigator

"However, Senior Claire, have you found a solution to the Calamity Trait that you carry?"

While dining, Anvis looked at Claire’s profile, asking a question he knew the answer to.

Actually, until little Anvis from the previous life activated the Wish Technique and summoned him over, the terrifying rumors about Claire had always persisted.

’Misfortune Investigator’, ’Disaster Spreader’, ’Doomsday Apostle’, ’Old God’s Steps’...

In her previous life, her most well-known ’achievement’ was that someone tried to harm her during an exploration, only to be unintentionally dragged into a disaster by her Trait, dying a confusing death.

Then, that person’s brother sought revenge on Claire, only to bizarrely attract a strange transparent plankton for Claire, while he himself was drained of his brain, dying a horrific death.

After that, this fate turned to his father, and then to his grandfather... Eventually, the whole family became well-known, shaking both the player and NPC worlds simultaneously.

However, contrary to this, even with such a terrifying reputation, players who later wanted to become her Flower Protectors still came in an endless stream.

At this moment, Claire was using a fork to eat an Ice Sea Caviar Egg Tart.

"I have found some clues already."

Upon hearing Anvis’s question, she quickly ate the rest of the tart. A pink tongue tip poked out, licking the tiny caviar grains at the corner of her mouth, looking unexpectedly cute.

"By organizing various Ruins Study materials, I deciphered the ancient mysterious texts from an old tablet found in the Mysterious Great Library."

"Through that tablet, I learned about this place, this remote island isolated from the sea, and the existence of Lavales Bay."

"And after I learned all this, it seems that some strange things hidden in the shadowy past of the island are gently calling to me in the Dream Realm."

As she spoke, Claire pondered, not sure how to describe it.

"That feeling... is like the sound of the piano under the moonlight, the stars in the night wind, the clear stream in the valley, carrying a very mysterious Gravity."

"This intangible feeling tells me, to lift the Trait that brings misfortune to my companions, I need to come here."

"So, according to the records on the tablet, I boarded the Black Ship to the island that arrives at a specific time, and came to this island."

Having said that, Claire picked up another egg tart and continued eating.

"Would you mind sharing the original content written on that tablet?"

After listening to the girl’s description, Anvis couldn’t help but be curious.

"The original text..."

The Half-Elf girl tilted her head, her voice somewhat muffled.

"See for yourself."

Saying so, the girl, tart in mouth, took out the broken tablet and handed it to Anvis.

"That’s not what I meant..."

Looking at the cryptic text on the grey stone tablet, Anvis’s mouth twitched slightly.

"Pfft, hahaha—"

Watching the boy’s slightly helpless expression, the golden-haired Half-Elf girl couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She took out her notebook again and handed it to Anvis.

"If you look at it with this, you should be able to understand."

Afterward, the girl picked up a piece of neatly cut huge lobster meat, seemingly determined to finish off Anvis’s lunch.

Glancing at the girl’s original lunch of dry bread and stewed meat, Anvis shook his head inwardly, opened her notes, and began to read slowly while comparing.

The entire prayer seemed to be in praise of something called the True Moon, and it also mentioned the origin of the Moon Calling Secret Sect, a Nameless Island suspended deep within the Mist Sea and Lavales Bay, as well as a certain special time.

"Black Moon, Night of the Night Star, the non-existent Ninth Star Hour, the Gatekeeper shall open the door. He will pass through the Gate, bringing the reality of eternity."

Chanting this passage in his uniquely melodious tone, Anvis looked toward the girl who was always eating.

"Do you know what this time refers to?"

"Not too sure, but it seems to be nothing good."

The girl was eating a piece of Bright Tree Raspberry Cake, her cheeks puffing up slightly as she looked back at Anvis.

It felt like feeding a squirrel.

"As for that time, without more information, I cannot determine the specific point in time."

"However, based on the Black Ship’s first arrival on the Continent from the island, it should be within the next six months."

Unaware of the impoliteness in Anvis’s thoughts, the girl described her plans.

"So, I’ve decided to complete the exploration as quickly as possible, find the source of the island’s attraction to me, and then leave the island before the time comes."

"Moreover, there’s a message from my predecessor Explorer here."

As she spoke, the girl took out another smaller stone tablet and handed it to Anvis.

"This is a message inscribed by the Seventh Rank Explorer Baggsen Luo Hancock hundreds of years ago, the one who carved his name at the bottom of the tablet.

The other tablet was also left in the Mysterious Great Library, and then I found it."

"Is that so?"

Anvis nodded, took the tablet, and glanced at the message on it.

"This is a mistake? Stay away from Lavales? Leave this island before the time comes?"

Clearly, if even a Seventh Rank Explorer said so, the island is likely to undergo some extremely terrifying changes when that time comes.

This means that the safest choice is to find the Sealing before the time arrives, extract the possible Ninth Rank gemstone core from under the mountains, rescue Evan, and then leave the island together.

But if that change is left unchecked, could it affect my own island?

Old Baggsen was only Seventh Rank after all. Some of the terrifying natural disasters that could be fatal to him, Jom could easily resolve.

Furthermore, the word used on the tablet is ’He,’ could it refer to that strange black Sealing that might break upon the arrival of that time?

If that’s the case, then there’s even more need to hasten the search for the location of the Sealing.

With the Ancient Secret Scripture in hand, he could completely absorb the horrendous Dark Power within the Sealing in advance and save the island.

Although the cave is not the location of the Sealing, those Secret Sect members on the island definitely know the true location of the Sealing.

Evan’s disappearance is also related to the Secret Sect on the island.

Fortunately, the two objectives have now converged.

After some thought, Anvis made up his mind, too. He would quickly find the true gathering place of the Moon Calling Secret Sect, and investigate the whereabouts of Evan and the Sealing.

Speaking of time.

Anvis set down the stone tablet, and his thoughts once again returned to the distant Yar Continent.

It seems that the Player’s Public Test officially started yesterday, and considering the time, the information that I had left in advance should have reached the Duke by now
