"..."
Upon hearing Xia Ye Yinghuo’s words, Lorna remained expressionless but slightly cocked her head to the side.
Xia Ye Yinghuo instinctively felt as if Lorna had sent out a ’?’.
"Ah, haha... It’s nothing, just forget what I said before!"
Wiping sweat from her forehead, the half-elf girl awkwardly started talking, then hastily changed the subject.
"So, do you know how to solve the strange properties of this house? It’s something called Dream Erosion... erm, a magical effect."
"..."
Ignoring Xia Ye Yinghuo’s silly charm, the exquisite, doll-like little girl remained expressionless, silently gazing at her, maintaining an odd atmosphere of silence.
"..."
The half-elf girl also had no choice but to maintain the expression on her face, staring back at Lorna awkwardly.
Just when Xia Ye Yinghuo felt her smile was about to stiffen, the girl by the window finally spoke softly.
"It’s too late..."
Bathed in the hollow, pale violet moonlight, the petite girl with black hair, clad in a black dress, looked again at her, her opaque, pitch-black eyes staring mercilessly at the girl, delivering a grim prognosis.
"You, can no longer leave..."
"Can’t leave, why not!"
Xia Ye Yinghuo exclaimed in shock.
"I mean, you’ve been sitting here all this time. Aren’t you supposed to provide me with a solution and task clues?"
"..."
"Could it be... that you can’t leave here for the same reasons as me?"
"..."
At the moonlit window, the small girl with black hair and black eyes silently watched her, saying nothing.
Seeing Lorna’s reaction, the half-elf girl seemed to suddenly understand something, slumping onto the long sofa beside the fireplace, falling into seclusion.
"Sorry... I should have guessed earlier. If it weren’t so, why would you always be sitting there..."
"Ah! I knew it! How could those blockhead planners be so kind to arrange a puzzle-solving NPC specifically for a quest scene, when the tutorial can directly assign level eighty tasks!"
"However, if you aren’t a puzzle-solving NPC..."
As she spoke, Xia Ye Yinghuo suddenly realized something and quickly glanced at Lorna, her voice growing softer.
"That... couldn’t be... you are the ghost in the house, right?"
"..."
Looking at the half-elf girl player who seemed to have noticed something, Lorna cocked her head again.
This time, on that exquisite, doll-like little face of hers, the first expression emerged since the girl had seen her.
Gazing into the unfathomable look in her pitch-black eyes, Xia Ye Yinghuo stealthily swallowed.
This feels like the gaze of someone sympathetically looking at an intellectually challenged girl.
.........
Several miles away from the girl, the Dormant Sea Demon Tavern.
Faint phantom purplish moonlight penetrated the carved window lattice, filtered through the evergreen ivy leaves hanging outside, spilling onto the wooden desk in front of the window.
Sitting in front of the desk, Anvis hadn’t lit a candle, but simply relied on the moonlight to reopen the Ancient Secret Scripture.
For some reason, since arriving on this island, the silver moonlight from Silver Moon Sevin had become very faint, almost imperceptible.
In contrast, the moonlight from Purple Moon Amis had become richer, as if the dimmed brightness of Silver Moon was transferred entirely to itself.
Even so, after passing through the faint mist shrouding the sky, this streak of moonlight still wasn’t enough to dispel the darkness in the room.
In this dim environment, one could clearly see that the thick book’s pages, resembling aged parchment, emitted a faint greenish glow.
It was only after leaving Lavales Port that Anvis was startled to realize that this change in the Ancient Secret Scripture seemed not to be caused by the island itself, but by Lavales Port City!
More precisely, it was due to the faint protective force field enveloping the port city!
Combining the information on Claire’s Stone Tablet with what that peculiar vagrant said and how they reacted when initially arriving on the island.
Anvis couldn’t be more aware that the ’protective force field’ claimed by the town definitely had issues.
The actual situation was completely different from what the islanders described; it was probably not protection, but a more covert erosive force field!
The so-called ’protection’ might simply be the nature of the force field, merely conflicting with the nature of the Curse Field elsewhere on the island.
Though unknown what impact living long in such a force field might have on a person.
Based on the strong warnings on the stone tablet, as well as the ramblings of that vagrant, it definitely wouldn’t be anything good.
The source of the protective force field originates from Rai Temple in the city center.
Continuing to follow these clues led to a chilling conclusion.
The guardian god respected by the islanders, [Rai], has serious problems!
Perhaps [Rai]’s power conflicts with the island’s Curse Power, but that doesn’t mean it is a benevolent Old God.
And if [Rai]’s nature was such, then corresponding to it, the ’Rai’s Blessing’ on every full moon night of Purple Moon, as well as the ’Amis Dust’ born from the blessing...
Thinking back to how ’Evan’ was captivated by Amis Dust, Anvis dreaded to imagine what consequences would surface when outsiders used Amis Dust.
Touching the Ancient Secret Scripture’s skin-like soft pages with his finger, he finally understood that this reaction from the book should be absorbing the town’s force field, thereby helping him avoid erosion.
If there were a Player nearby, one could slowly test the specific effects of the town’s force field through the abnormal status on the Player’s panel.
Speaking of which, there seems to be one in the city indeed...
Pinching his chin, Anvis suddenly thought of a certain Half-Elf Player.
Should he send her on another Task tomorrow? He had plenty of mysterious stones here.
After some consideration, he dismissed the idea.
Nevermind, there’s no need, prioritizing the search for the Sealing is more important.
However, speaking of Players, Anvis once again contemplated the part involving Players in his plans.
Players will indeed be an astonishing force not to be ignored in the future, but until their average Level reaches a certain transformational point, they still cannot impact the indigenous higher-ups.
In the material he had sent to the Duke, he had detailed the various characteristics of Players, their innate differences from the natives, and the special ways Players could increase their Strength.
Anvis believed that after receiving this material, the Duke should understand how to deal with the Players in his territory.
For him at the moment, the key is the restoration of his own power.
With a firm foundation set, what’s needed now is to swiftly restore his Seventh Rank Strength from his previous life.
This is precisely why he first sought to find that Sealing.
