Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator
Chapter 428 Atmosphere
"It's probably the rebels. They're being funded by a mysterious force and want to deal with us. We've seen similar signs in the past few days. Someone in the city has been spreading the teachings of the Wolf Cult, claiming that the world-destroying demon wolf Gleipnir is about to return and will create a devastating disaster to restart the world."
"As for this person... he's just a poor wretch who's being controlled and exploited."
Angus glanced at the obese nobleman who had long since died and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that the obese noble was holding a yellowed page in his hand. It was not a level seven summoning scroll at all.
The page was densely written in ancient Faric. Due to the other person's fingers covering it, he could only see the first line:
"The Book of Gleipnir."
Just by listening to the name, you know that this is an extraordinary item related to the world-destroying wolf Gleipnir. No wonder he can summon the moon wolf Silas with a probability of less than 1%. No wonder he was sucked dry by this scorched yellow page without any self-control.
"May Poseidon forgive him." Bishop Ronald bent down to pick up the page, took a careful look at it, then nodded four times on his body and sighed softly.
Then he cast a vacuum zone that could isolate sound and communicated with Angus Motley.
Zhou Ning, who was standing by, did not rush to leave. He rubbed his chin and thought about the whole thing.
"Why did the seventh-level summoning scroll this obese noble bought from a supernatural gathering turn into a page from the Book of Gleipnir? Is there some connection between that supernatural gathering and the resistance?"
"According to Angus, this obese noble was being controlled and exploited. This method vaguely reminded Zhou Ning of the methods used by the Retreat Society. If I remember correctly, a part of the Curse Cult also joined the resistance in my previous life. This method of wanting to destroy an entire island at will also feels strangely familiar to me."
In the first two versions of Zhou Ning's previous life, the Motley Islands weren't ruled solely by Angus Motley. Not only had the Kingdom of West Farik reclaimed two important islands, transforming them from overseas colonies to direct administration, but they also served as the headquarters of the West Farik rebels. Therefore, they didn't possess the strength Zhou Ning saw now.
The main body of these rebels consisted of ethnic minorities within the Kingdom of Sifalik, who were relegated to second- and third-class citizenry during the conquest process. These included werewolves, elves, walruses, and northerners. Several secretive organizations also participated, including the Wolf Worship Cult and the Walrus Salvation Society. The various forces were intricately intertwined and barely cohesive.
Since the majority of members are of other races, the proportion of other races is relatively high. Compared with the legal atmosphere in the Kingdom of West Farik, the Motley Islands, which has a less strong domestic legal atmosphere, became their base camp.
Over 80 years ago, due to disputes over succession and religious beliefs, the Kingdom of Farik split into East and West following the reforms of Jeffrey Ford. East Farik was subsequently annexed by the nearby powerful Kingdom of Bryston, bringing its demise. West Farik, however, not only survives to this day but continues to expand its territory. As far as Zhou Ning knows, the descendants of the four heroes currently reside in West Farik.
Among them were many powerful animal trainers and druids. At their peak, they could win a war with just 200 musketeers, 20 warhorses, and 20 Falric mastiffs. They expanded their territory through bribery of indigenous chiefs, through annexation, and through the threat of force. Later, governorates were established between these nations, and railways were built through the jungle.
As a result, the Kingdom of Sifalik still owes a large national debt.
These rebels slowly gathered together in the process of being conquered and oppressed, and as they continued to grow stronger, even some northern pirates and members of the Curse Cult joined the rebels.
Not long after, Bishop Ronald and Angus Motley concluded their conversation and left. Angus Motley walked up to Zhou Ning and chuckled, "Thank you for your help, Wayne Stewell. The Motley family will remember your help. Those three shots of yours gave even me a fright."
"You're welcome." Zhou Ning smiled. "Even if I hadn't taken action, you wouldn't have lost. Bishop Ronald hadn't even joined the battlefield just now."
Angus shook his head and said, "You're welcome. Even though the Church of Poseidon and the Wolf Worship Cult are sworn enemies, Ronald won't act rashly in this situation. Without your help, Silas would have escaped. From today on, you are a friend of the Motley family."
"Also, I will pay the bounties on the pirates you killed, and will send them to your residence along with a thank-you gift later."
This was an obvious gesture of goodwill. It was obvious that Angus wanted to win him over. Zhou Ning was not a pretentious person, so he nodded and accepted his kindness.
After leaving his residence to Angus Motley and leaving the Governor's Mansion, Zhou Ning hurried to the underground market two blocks away. Before leaving the Wings of Liberty, he had made a promise that he would go to the underground market to look for Richie Burke and Ignatius Woods after finishing his business.
At this time, with the death of the giant moon wolf Silas, the werewolf disaster gradually subsided and no new werewolves were added, but scattered werewolves could still be seen in the streets and alleys.
After watching the entire battle, Zhou Ning still felt unsatisfied and issued a task to clear out the werewolves to the players following behind him, as a benefit to them.
Facing a dozen werewolves occupying the entrance and exit of the underground market, Zhou Ning did not stop and rushed forward. He switched his hand to Tianwang disguised as a cane, and swung it and picked it up without any movement. As his black windbreaker fluttered, the dozen werewolves screamed miserably at the same time, turned into walking torches, and then turned into powder in the hot ripples.
"So cool!" Several players couldn't help but stare.
Inside the underground market, he found Richie Burke and Ignatius Woods, each holding a rapier in one hand and a flintlock rifle in the other. They had just been attacked by werewolves here. Fortunately, Richie Burke was patient and waited until the werewolves were almost gone before taking action.
"What happened outside?" Richie Burke asked sharply based on his own situation.
"Someone summoned the giant moon wolf Silas and tried to assassinate Angus Motley, which resulted in this incident." Zhou Ning said concisely.
He adjusted his hat with his hand and walked ahead, saying as he walked, "Let's go back to the Wings of Liberty first. Try not to go out again tonight."
"Okay!" Richie Burke was also unwilling to stay here. At least there were a large number of artillery and sailors on the Wings of Liberty, which could give him a certain sense of security.
After a brief rest, the group left the underground market. On the way back, they met a dozen passengers who had gotten off the boat to eat. When they saw Zhou Ning, they almost cried with joy.
Perhaps because most of the werewolves had been eliminated by the regular army, they only encountered two or three waves of werewolves, which were easily killed by Zhou Ning and Richie Burke.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the dock again and the "Wings of Liberty" docked at the dock.
It's finally safe!
After returning to the ship, Zhou Ning immediately found Red-Haired Robinson and told him about what had just happened:
"Inform those on board not to enter the port unless necessary."
Red-haired Robinson broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly made the announcement according to Zhou Ning's instructions.
On the island of Telderon, sporadic gunfire was heard from time to time, and it did not subside until three hours later.
At about 11 o'clock, two men who claimed to be Angus Motley's subordinates came to the "Liberty Wing" and brought gifts from Angus Motley.
In addition to the checks totaling 48500 Vectra, he also brought the luggage of the noble "Pluton," worth nearly 15000 Vectra of krypton silver. What a generous gift! Zhou Ning calculated that his funds had just exceeded 25. He recognized this friend!
After returning to his room, Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to collect the mission rewards. As an A-level mission, it could be foreseen that the rewards for this mission would definitely not be bad.
