"Who are you?"
"Doyle DeWeese."
"Keep this letter and give it to the person I mentioned..."
"Tsk tsk, so ugly... Sculpt your toys into something prettier, you poor bastard who is obsessed with the past, hehe..."
The young and playful voice mixed with the gloomy and cold environment flashed in the young knight's mind in the form of constantly intertwined fragments of memory.
"Doyle DeWeese..."
"Ahem..."
The young knight's voice was hoarse, he kept coughing in the dark, and felt like there was a huge foreign object stuck in his throat.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
After coughing twice again, the foreign object was coughed out by him and seemed to fall to the ground, making a sound of metal hitting wooden board.
"I… "
At this moment, the young knight realized that he seemed unable to open his eyes.
"Doyle DeWeese?"
This guy again
What is his relationship with this young knight
Roger frowned slightly.
Looking at the blind knight on the bed, his heart was filled with turmoil.
Then he leaned down and looked at the bloody foreign object on the ground.
[Doll gear (damaged)]
[Type: Special props]
[Description: A relatively core gear component, but now it is of no use and can only be regarded as useless waste. ]
gear
Why would a living person cough something like this out of his mouth
Roger's doubts grew even more intense.
The same was true for the crew around them.
However, after a moment of confusion, the young knight began to make some strange movements.
He looked as if he was not used to this body and touched his chest.
Then he quickly touched his neck, elbows and knees, and his expression became even more confused.
"I am..."
"You're blind." Mira said.
"Who!" The young knight was very alert and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but found that the sword at his waist was now empty.
"Although I don't know where you came from, you were unconscious in the sea and it was our captain who fished you out."
Nomi said halfway, but seeing the warning look in Roger's eyes, he quickly changed his words.
"I'm unconscious?"
"I… "
Upon hearing this, the young knight did not immediately pay attention to the fact that he was blind. Instead, he frowned and touched his forehead, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
"The Kingdom of Darkness... The Kingdom of Light..."
"Nicole... Andy... I... He betrayed me..."
"… "
Look at him like this.
Everyone felt a little strange.
"Mira, is he a fool?" Nomi whispered.
"The Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness? I'm afraid only children playing house would give such names..."
Mira complained, then looked at Roger.
"Captain, are there these two countries in the Sea of Confession?"
Rogge still frowned slightly and shook his head: "It's not on that map, but it may be somewhere else."
In comparison, he was more concerned about the relationship between the young knight in front of him and Doyle DeWeese.
Thinking of this, he walked up slowly.
"My name is Roger, and I'm the captain of this ship."
"What's your name and where are you from?"
Hear what Roger said.
The young knight, who was struggling in confusion and pain, slowly raised his head, but it was still dark in front of him and he could not see anything. He could only judge the person in front of him by the voice.
“… My name is Daniel, and I’m a sworn knight of the Kingdom of Light.”
Daniel took a deep breath, seemingly accepting his current situation.
But soon, he asked Rogge with a little anxiety.
"You should be fishermen from the Kingdom of Light, right?"
"Which part of the island of light and darkness is this? Can you please take me back to the nearest dock?"
"My fiancée must still be waiting for me to come home. She must be worried about me!"
Hear what he said.
Rogge and others looked at each other.
"... The Island of Light and Darkness you mentioned... is it the island in the Sea of Confession?"
Roger felt something was wrong.
"The Sea of Confession?" Daniel was a little stunned: "Which sea is this? I have never heard of it."
"The Island of Light and Darkness only has four seas in the east, west, south and north, as well as a lake in the middle... Is this a special name for you locals?"
"… "
Rogge's brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't reply immediately.
Lina at the side seemed to be thinking: "What about outside the four seas of east, west, south and north?"
She estimated that this knight named Daniel might be from a corner of the world like the five seas, just like them.
"Of course it's the insurmountable wall of heaven."
Daniel became alert, as the people in front of him didn't even know these.
"Who are you anyway?"
The insurmountable wall of heaven...
Roger said nothing.
Mira, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and simply explained the world to him.
But before he could finish, Daniel interrupted him: "That's impossible!"
"What endless ocean and fog? It's ridiculous!"
After saying that, he stood up, seemingly unable to accept it.
However, after taking two deep breaths, he calmed himself down and realized that his tone just now was not very good.
"I'm very sorry."
"You saved me, I am very grateful, I swear in the name of the Oath Knight Daniel that I will remember this favor."
"But please don't joke about this kind of story. I really want to go home. My fiancée Nicole is still waiting for me!"
Mira and Lina looked at each other.
Then Lina stepped forward and said seriously: "Knight Daniel, whether you believe it or not, what we just said is true."
"Perhaps your hometown is in a very secret place..."
Without waiting for Daniel to reply.
Rogge raised his hand to signal Lina, then stood up.
"Knight Daniel, I can find your home for you."
"But I need you to answer a question for me, okay?"
Daniel was very happy to hear Rogge's words and nodded quickly.
"Captain Roger, please speak."
"Do you know Doyle DeWeese?" Roger asked.
Daniel frowned when he heard this, as if he was trying hard to recall.
But after a moment, he shook his head slightly, a little hesitant: "I... I don't know this person."
Roger was a little confused: "Then why did you say his name just now?"
"I... I don't know." Daniel looked a little confused: "Those memories suddenly appeared in my mind, I... maybe I was dreaming..."
dream
Impossible, no dream could be so coincidental.
Of course Roger wouldn't believe this was a coincidence.
However, judging from Daniel's performance, he didn't seem to be lying.
… Looks like I’ll have to go through trouble again.
Roger sighed in his heart. Doyle was the Riddler he hated the most.
"How about this? You wait for us to go to a place first, and after we finish some things, we will go to find the island of light and darkness you mentioned. How about that?"
Roger said.
Although he didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters, since it involved this guy Doyle, he might as well go and take a look.
I don't know what this guy is trying to keep secret.
Hearing this, Daniel could only suppress his inner anxiety: “Okay.”
"Thank you, Captain Roger."
Although he was anxious, he knew better.
Combine your own body changes with their words.
Without their help, it would be extremely difficult for me to go home given my current blindness.
"I think his hometown might be similar to the Five Seas."
Lina said to Roger.
"Go find his house? Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?" Nomi scratched his head.
Rogge shook his head: "Go to Giant Tree Island and ask."
After that, he turned to look at Daniel again.
"By the way, what's with this gear you coughed up?"
Under Rogge's control, a bone spirit stepped forward, picked up the gear and handed it to Daniel.
"gear?"
Daniel was shocked when he heard what Rogge said.
"I... I coughed up the gears?"
"This is impossible!"
…
"Congratulations on your promotion to Agent, Captain Roger."
Inside the giant tree, the Tree of Life nodded slightly to Rogge.
After sailing for a while, Rogge and others returned to the Giant Tree Island again.
"Thank you very much."
Roger expressed his gratitude.
Then, he got straight to the point and said, "Take me to the Deep Root Labyrinth."
Upon hearing this, the Tree of Life did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a long time.
Then, a ray of green light flashed and fell on Rogge's hand.
"Take it with you, maybe it will help you."
[You obtained: Leaf of Life x 1. ]
[Leaf of Life]
[Type: Special props]
[Quality: Gold]
[Effect: Immune to death once, transfer your death to the Tree of Life, and become immune to all erosion, pollution and damage for a period of time afterwards.]
[Explanation: Death will not dissipate, but someone can transfer it.]
Looking at the delicate and divine green leaf in his hand, Rogge smiled slightly.
"Thanks."
"But I don't think I'll need it."
The Tree of Life also smiled: "Then take it as a blessing."
…
[You have arrived at: the base of the giant tree. ]
In front of the tangled and thick tree roots was a dark and thick fog.
The tree roots contaminated by it all turned a deadly black color, lifeless.
There was also a strange smell in the air.
Roger walked forward and slowly extended his hand.
The moment Rogge touched the death fog, he was instantly enveloped.
In an instant, the space distorted.
A moment later, the scene before Rogge's eyes had changed drastically.
Gloomy, deep, and cold.
This is a space formed by dark tree roots.
Above is a dark fog that covers the sky, and below is a darkness that cannot be seen underneath the ground.
In front of Rogge, the thick tree roots as black as charcoal spread in different directions like one winding road after another, until there was no end in sight.
[You have arrived at: Deep Root Maze. ]
Before entering this area, Rogue had saved the game.
So there was no ripple in his heart, and he looked at everything around him calmly.
There are some black substances floating in the air here, like the ashes formed by burnt trees, making it feel turbid.
Rogge was on the only dark green platform, formed by the roots of the Tree of Life.
But looking further ahead, there was only endless darkness.
This appears to be a distinct area formed by that source of erosion.
Its power gradually spreads from the source here.
Roger exhaled: "I hope there won't be any disgusting guys here."
He shrugged.
If there were no powerful monsters blocking his way, he would only need some time to find the source.
"lets go."
After saying that, Rogge had an idea, exited the real perspective, and lay down on the bed.
[Automatic exploration is enabled.]
The Deep Root Maze is not a simple plane.
Those dead tree roots extended in all directions, east, south, west and north, forming countless routes.
If Rogge were to explore on his own, it would probably take him forever to finish the exploration.
Using the game perspective can save a lot of time.
[You chose the widest path, and this tree root looks safe.]
[Time passes gradually, and you walk along the black tree roots for a long time. Not only do you not see any living creatures, you don't even see a fork in the road.]
[You feel a little bored.]
[Suddenly, the black tree roots in front of you show signs of breaking, but there is a forked road on your right.]
You keep going.
[There seems to be some kind of force in the air here that is slowly eroding you.]
[Your physical strength limit has decreased. ]
[Your spiritual limit has dropped. ]
[Your faith value begins to dissipate. ]
[You begin to have some kind of hallucination.]
[Countless death scenes flash before your eyes: being stabbed to death, being starved to death, being cut in two, being burned to death, being enveloped by a tide of darkness...]
As Rogge went deeper.
Although he did not encounter any monsters, he was inevitably affected by a lot of negative effects.
The speed of travel also became slower and slower.
But he was not worried.
“These negative effects are intensifying. Does this mean that I’m getting closer to the source of the erosion?”
Roger was thoughtful.
He noted the direction.
Later, when the game character was about to collapse, he chose to go back and start over.
…
It's getting dark outside the window.
Rogge sat in front of the computer desk with some simple route maps on it.
After a long period of attempts, he figured out most of the route.
This source of erosion does not seem to have any thoughts.
It does not give birth to monsters, but the closer Rogue gets to it, the stronger the negative effects on him will be.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Rogge's conjecture is correct.
[You feel weak and tired like never before.]
[Due to the erosion of unknown forces, you have been infected with permanent negative effects and your life span has been halved. ]
[But, as you go deeper, you finally see a dark, blurry object, it...]
[The moment you look directly at its true face, countless deaths will devour you mercilessly from the inside out, and black will cover your vision.]
[You are about to die.]
[The Leaf of Life makes you immune to death once and transfers all negative effects on you. ]
[You have been blessed by the Tree of Life, and are immune to all negative effects for a short period of time.]
Roger in front of the screen smiled.
After noting down the route, he read the save file and then turned around.
"found it."
