Chapter 299 - The Dusty Key to the Seal
In his eyes, Xiao Feng, the player with no character name shown was the same as a troublemaker.
“No…” Xiao Feng did not want to fight, but the call with Liu Qiangwei was connected before he could explain.
“What’s the matter?”
Her sound was ethereal, as pleasant as the sound of a fairy. Because Xiao Feng would rarely take the initiative to call her, and Xiao Feng did not have the type of character that would bother her for nothing. Once he called her, there must be something important. She then asked with a little curiosity.
But this also made Liu Qiangwei resentful. In her friends list, there were quite a few people who would like to talk to her by using business as an excuse. Although there was no clear disclosure, there must be a little thought in it. However, as the president of Midsummer Guild, Liu Qiangwei could only be businesslike and could not defriend anyone as she wanted to like other ordinary female players.
Liu Qiangwei released the news that she was in a relationship with Xiao Feng among each guild’s seniors, in order to reduce the harassment from the seniors in other guilds. After all, no one dared to harass the lady of Master Healer in Huaxia District.
But as the center of the news, Xiao Feng had no consciousness. He had never harassed Liu Qiangwei once, and let alone harassment, he did not even flirt with Liu Qiangwei once. This made Liu Qiangwei a bit resentful although she was so ethereal.
Liu Qiangwei directly asked Xiao Feng what’s the matter, because she knew that Xiao Feng would not give her a call for nothing.
“I was stopped by a member in your guild called Midsummer Department Store. Tell him to let me go please.”
Sure enough, she heard Xiao Feng talking on the call, followed by the system prompt of the call was dropped by the other party, which let Liu Qiangwei close her just-opened mouth speechlessly. Then she opened the guild channel.
“Bro, our Midsummer Guild is not a place you can do anything you want. Please just leave.”
Midsummer Department Store’s had been thoroughly cold. He said to Xiao Feng rudely. He had offended Midsummer Rose, the president of the guild, which had violated the taboo of every member in the guild.
But Midsummer Department Store had not waited Xiao Feng to say anything. He froze suddenly at this time, because he received a private chat message from the guild channel.
The thing made Midsummer Department Store so surprised that his eyeballs widened. The person who talked to him was not others, but the high-ranking guild’s president Midsummer Rose!
“Let him go.”
There were only three words in the private chat message, but it was enough to let Midsummer Department Store unbearably excited. It was the private chat from the guild’s president, who was as noble as a goddess.
“My friend! It’s my bad! So you really know our president! Come on in, help yourself!”
Immediately, Midsummer Department Store apologized to Xiao Feng, and made a way for him politely at the same time. He could not help looking at Xiao Feng once again. An unspecialized character without a guild, and had his character name hidden, but he was able to let the president come in person. Who was it? A hidden master?
Xiao Feng did not say anything and directly passed through their collection point, heading towards the Muguang Lake in the center of the Muguang Forest.
But then Midsummer Department Store froze again, because he received another private message from the president Midsummer Rose.
“Be careful to follow him. He’s going somewhere special. See what will happen and report back to me later.”
Midsummer Department Store again shocked. This material collection point was just a primary map. Not only a mysterious master paid attention, but also the president said that this place was special.
Since Midsummer Guild had occupied the paths in the collection point, Xiao Feng did not meet a player inside and came to the Muguang Lake soon.
The Muguang Lake was still holy. The lake seemed to be emitting light. In fact, the lake had a property that was the player would get his /her HP increased after drinking it. Unfortunately, it could not be collected, because there was no effect after being taken away.
Xiao Feng estimated that it related to the angel statue at the bottom of the lake. The Chiyang Fruit forest nearby was probably affected by it, too.
Xiao Feng directly jumped into the water. He soon sank to the bottom of the lake as a result of not learning the life skill swimming. The suffocation bar also started, but the impact was not big, because the lake was not deep. If it was the sea, there might be a threat to Xiao Feng.
The bottom of the lake was still the same as when Xiao Feng came last time, there was no change. Even the traces of the transmission formation stone slabs being knocked away were still there, no one had been here to secretly repair them.
Xiao Feng suddenly remembered that once he took the transmission formation stone slabs to Bishop Renault to ask him, Bishop Renault said they were ancient transmission formations and were not used to teleport people, but were used to teleport objects or creatures with strong energy. Now it seemed that only the angel statue had met this condition.
As close to the bottom of the lake, a sense of oppression also began to cover Xiao Feng, as if he was being watched by something dangerous. But Xiao Feng had felt that before, so he directly ignored. He soon came to the bottom of the lake and saw the angel statue again in a pit.
It was a tall male angel, half kneeling in a pit at the bottom of the lake, with one arm raised as if to grasp the sky, the unwilling facial expression was very vivid.
Behind him were several pairs of wings wrapped in clay statue hanging weekly under him. A huge sword was also covered with clay statue, but it pierced his chest and nailed him to the bottom of the lake. If this was not a statue, one could imagine the scenes of the deadly battle.
Unknown forces pushed the lake and silt away, creating a vacuum area centered on the angel statue. The closer you were, the more pressing you felt.
But Xiao Feng came to see the specific condition of the statue this time. He would not step back at this stage, so he directly stepped into the vacuum area.
“Buzz!”
However, when Xiao Feng just touched the vacuum area, a light film suddenly lit up, wrapped the vacuum area and bounced Xiao Feng off.
“An enchantment?
Xiao Feng was not new to this layer of enchantment, because the seventh floor of the grand underground grave also had the same enchantment. The glowing seal symbols on them were similar.
It was the seal power of the layer of enchantment that separated the water and the bottom of the lake. The vacuum was therefore formed. And Xiao Feng could not touch the enchantment. Once he got close, he would be pushed away by a force. It was the same as before he could not enter the seventh floor of the underground palace.
“Is there a mission to lift the seal? Will the world BOSS be triggered after the mission is complete?”
Xiao Feng doubted, carefully observed around the enchantment. Finally, he really found something in the side of the enchantment.
“This is…”
From the markings of the seal, it looked like the area was stitched together by the enchantment. But at the junction of the stitches, there was something like a keyhole.
“Wait a minute!”
Xiao Feng stared at the place similar to the keyhole and observed for a few minutes. Suddenly he frowned, thought of something, and opened his own backpack to look up. Then he opened the storage space of his own space ring and continued to look up.
Finally he found a dusty item in the corner.
The Key to the Seal (Left)
Uniqueness: has a chance to drop only once against a born-again paladin
Effect: unseals part of the keys sealed in the Magic Formation
Xiao Feng got this dropped when he was still at the novice village and was creeping the ordinary trial instance zone. He thought it might be useful, so he collected it at that time. However, Xiao Feng had not yet found the use of it even until his second profession transfer.
And Xiao Feng was not going to play with it now, because he picked up the key to the seal (left) and compared with the keyhole on the enchantment, and found that they incredibly matched!
That was to say that this key to the seal was likely the key item for unsealing the enchantment!
Unfortunately, Xiao Feng only had a half. The other piece was missing and it could not be used.
“This can’t be to let me to go back to novice village and creep the instance zone…”
After thinking for a while, Xiao Feng thought by touching his chin. The key to the seal (left) was dropped by the born-again paladin, and there was another born-again clergy in the trial instance zone. If one of the keys to the seal was dropped by the born-again paladin, was the other born-again clergy going to drop another piece?
Xiao Feng who had this idea had to choose to leave from the bottom of the lake, because he did not know how to deal with this enchantment now. The only clue was the novice village, so Xiao Feng thought for a while and had to choose to go back to the novice village. Just in time, he did not creep the instance zone today. He could do it twice with the additional effect on the number of entering the instance zone of the Ring of Faith.
“Whew!”
Coming out of the lake, Xiao Feng took a breath, and then directly smashed the town portal scroll and returned back to Tianlong City. He chose to go back to the novice village through the transmission formation in Tianlong City.
“Ding! Welcome to NO. 9191 novice village!”
After a flash of white light, Xiao Feng returned to the original place of the game world.
It was just that today’s novice village was different from the newbie period. The crowds of people could not be seen at the time. At this stage, the players in the entire server were planning to complete their second profession transfer. It would be strange if there was still someone in the novice village.
However, it was not completely deserted. There were still some elderly players wandering around. After all, the environment of the game world was much better than that of the real world. Those players who came to the game world to spend their aged life were also satisfied with the tranquility in the novice village nowadays.
In addition, Xiao Feng also saw a few players wearing novice clothed running around to complete missions. They probably just entered the game. Although Myth was popular, it was not universal. There were still many people who had no idea with the game world due to work or various reasons.
Xiao Feng did not delay too much. He directly summoned Xiaoxue and headed to the trial mission with the fastest speed.
