Wu Chang took out the letter from the interlayer, and the envelope was written with "Professor Ebert". He opened the letter without hesitation. The letter looked ordinary, but the writer was a great man, an archbishop. The purpose of sending the letter was to ask Professor Ebert, who happened to be on Briver Island, to help investigate the whereabouts of the Saint and others. According to the description in the letter, the Saint and others were preaching along the overseas trade line and spreading the glory of the Lord. Originally, the Saint would send the latest progress of the mission back to the church every two weeks, but in the past three months, the Saint's fleet lost contact. In the last communication, the Saint said that the next stop would be Briver, and mentioned that sea ghosts appeared in the waters around Briver, and many merchant ships were attacked. There must be pagans plotting around the trade line, and she wanted to find out the situation. The church sent three groups of people to investigate, but no clues were found, so they wanted to ask Professor Ebert to investigate secretly and find the trace of the Saint. "Hidden side quest: Find the missing saint or retrieve the holy mark. There is no penalty for failure. Do you accept the quest?" Oh, it seems that there is more than one big person missing on the island. Accept!
Anyway, there is no penalty for failure, so why not accept it? At the bottom of the envelope, there is a crystal necklace with a pure white crystal pendant at the end of the necklace. "Item name: Blessing of the Great Virgin" "Item type: Special" "Item description: The pendant blessed by the Great Virgin can protect the saint from danger. It is the coming-of-age gift given to the saint by the gods. When approaching the saint or the holy mark, the crystal pendant will react." Wu Chang put the necklace on his neck and found that his own attributes did not change. It seems to be an exclusive item. Putting the pendant into the personal space, he began to check the clippings made by the former postman. The clippings collected a lot of information about Briver Island, including the past and present of Briver Island. Two hundred years ago, Brever Island was still a deserted island with a harsh environment, few people, and full of snakes, insects and beasts. At that time, the Kingdom of Ogri would escort the serious criminals and pirates who should have been executed here and let them fend for themselves. So it was also called Black Prison Island at that time. Until twenty years ago, when the first steamship came out, Earl Jermaine realized that the sea route would be the future of the kingdom. When he was rewarded by the king for killing pagans, he chose this island as his territory. Earl Jermaine attached great importance to Black Prison Island and brought three ships with him. He brought new population, churches, schools, hospitals, civilization and morality to the island. And renamed Black Prison Island Brever, which means a place of peace and tranquility. Jermaine is a famous iron-fisted earl and a famous control freak in the kingdom. He claims that there is nothing he cannot tame. It only took him three years to teach the natives on the island, who were born with the blood of serious criminals, to master writing, understand morality, and successfully integrate with civilized society from a semi-savage state. As for the cost, it was just to reduce the number of natives from more than 5,000 to 925.
Compared with civilization and progress, it is not worth mentioning. The domesticated natives and the slaves brought by Jermaine re-established families, multiplied, and gradually formed today's Bleaver Island. Two months ago, Earl Jermaine suddenly disappeared with his family and his whereabouts are still unknown. The residents of the town organized several searches, but failed to find the whereabouts of Earl Jermaine. Wu Chang closed the clippings and felt a sense of déjà vu about the background of the copy plane. No wonder the residents of the town looked so big and strong. It turned out that they were all descendants of serious criminals and pirates, with standard old white people whose blood was pure and could not be purer. The history of Bleaver Island can also explain why the townspeople are so dogmatic about work and so hostile to those who break the rules of the town and do not value work. Because they were domesticated by Count Jermaine. More than 5,000 were killed and only 920 were left. That sense of restraint must be engraved into DNA. Putting away the newspaper clippings, Wu Chang looked through the letters in his bag. One of the letters caught his attention. Unlike other recipients, the recipient of this letter was Tony Stark. It was obviously a name made up by the player. Opening the envelope, the handwriting on the letter was the same as the mark on the newspaper clippings, both written by the previous postman. The previous postman and the recipient Tony Stark seemed to be exchanging information by mailing letters. The content of the letter only contained the intelligence collected by the previous postman on the last day. Each paragraph was not long, but the information contained was very dense. "I guessed right. Violating the rules of the town will indeed give priority to being selected by the other world, and it is indeed possible to enter the corresponding area of the other world by breaking the designated rules. The other world I entered tonight is still the dock." The information revealed in the first paragraph alone exceeded Wu Chang's expectations. If this information is true, it means that there is a so-called other world in the town of Briff, and players will be randomly sucked into it every night. And the other world is divided into different areas. If it is not intentionally controlled, you will enter a random area. But if you consciously break a rule, you will go to a fixed area of the other world. The former postman refused to work and entered a certain dock in the other world. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the dock where he was executed. Wu Chang sorted out the information in the first paragraph and continued to read. "There is a bad news and a good news." "The bad news is that our inference is correct. This copy may have been tampered with. Even if no players die, it is constantly polluting itself. The increase in pollution value will increase the danger in the other world at the same time. Tonight I encountered a monster I had never seen before." "The good news is that the monster I encountered was a group of fishmen. I can be sure that what we are looking for must be related to these fishmen!" "Those fishmen are easy to kill. I tried to eat their meat. The fat content is very high, like the belly of tuna, but it is more fishy. It's a pity that I didn't bring mustard with me." Wu Chang read these two messages over and over again.
From the information on the paper, his predecessor and the team he belonged to were a group of senior players. Their purpose of entering the copy was very clear, which was to find something that was related to fishmen, or to sea monsters. Not only could they choose the copy to enter, they vaguely knew the props dropped in the copy, and they also knew that the copy would be tampered with. Even if no player dies, a tampered copy will be self-contaminated. Wu Chang has never heard of these high-level intelligence, even the conspiracy theories on the forum. They are definitely information blocked by high-level forces by default. A copy targeted by a large organization will never be easily allowed to enter if it is broken. At the same time, the management bureau only classified such a tampered copy as a special attention list and did not immediately send people to break it. This means that the team of the former postman not only failed to break the copy, but also may have overturned the car, so that these key information could not be passed out. For players like Linghu, the news in front of her is enough to make her spirit, which has finally recovered, depressed again, and even cause mental disorder under heavy pressure. But for Wu Chang, this feeling is right. If there is no hard work in the copy arranged for him by the Abyss Game, he will feel uncomfortable. He looked at the last paragraph of the letter. "I suspect those fishmen are the monsters that attacked the merchant ships. I tried to ask the sheriff, but because I was on strike recently, the woman only gave me a middle finger in response." "Leave this question to Logan. I overheard the mayor's conversation today. He said that because Logan works hard, he will be allowed to join the town council and become a real townsman." "I will continue the strike tomorrow. I am looking forward to what surprises the dock can bring me after meeting the fishmen."
