Chapter 106 The Story of a Seaside Town

Of course, before upgrading the grade of the spirit candle, Rogge still had to write a downtime update announcement as usual.

After the announcement of the downtime update was issued, players complained as usual.

But it was not time yet, so Rogge was not in a hurry and started browsing the Lingzhu Forum.

Then he saw that the storyteller’s recently released video post had once again come to the top and was very popular.

[Masochistic Lord? Lady Whip? What is the story behind the town of Regga? Storyteller worked hard for a week to bring you the story of the coastal town]

The opening is a long montage of high-energy clips. Although no material from the spirit candle is used for presentation, it is surprisingly appropriate and fits the backdrop of the coastal town.

Rogge couldn't help but smile. The storyteller's videos were the best to watch while eating.

It’s a pity that he has no food to eat now.

Thinking of this, Rogge sighed inwardly, threw a piece of recovery wax into his mouth, and ate it reluctantly as if it were candy to satisfy his craving.

[…I believe that when you explore the coastal town and see some items or information that is not quite right, you will have a lot of doubts, and often you will be in a state of "understanding a little, but not completely understanding". 】

[Today, the storyteller who spent five days reading carefully all the text information in the coastal town...]

With a snap, the familiar sound of clapping a table and closing a fan was heard, and the video content went black.

【…I will explain them to you one by one. 】

“It feels so good!”

"The storyteller is diligent, and I am very pleased. Come and see the reward!"

"It's time for dinner, guys!"

"Let's eat, let's eat!"

"Progress bar warning!"

Now the videos on the Lingzhu forum also have a built-in barrage function. A group of players who have already played the Lingzhu game and those who haven't played the game yet all come to help out, making it very lively.

As the darkness gradually brightened, a small boat appeared in the video, struggling to drift in the heavy rain and waves.

[… Passing through the mysterious gray fog, the clear sky suddenly became gloomy, heavy rain was mixed with huge winds and waves, and a searchlight emitting a strange red light was looming at the end…]

[Suddenly arriving at such a sea area, the storyteller's joy at having just received a new ship disappeared, replaced by shock and panic.]

[I managed to stabilize the boat with difficulty and was about to head for the shore, but I found a crazy fisherman throwing a bloody knife at me, and the monster in the sea was also eyeing me...]

[The red searchlight in the lighthouse no longer guides the sailors, but instead imposes terrible abnormal state accumulation on the players, making them completely exposed to the monsters' eyes... All of this seems urgent and weird, leaving no room for respite.]

[Finally, after going through numerous dangers, we finally landed successfully in this coastal town in the midst of a storm, and in the warm light of the spiritual candle, we had a chance to breathe.]

[However, as we continue to explore, we find that the journey to the shore is insignificant compared to the scene in the town.]

[The hound and the watcher of the lighthouse, the whispering town, the townspeople with bloody blades stuck in their heads, the crazy meat ball in the tavern, the blood-robed priest in the square, the underground cemetery, the wolf followers kneeling on the ground to guard the gate, the scarlet blood pool, and the final husband-and-wife boss...]

[In order to clarify the various relationships between them, we first extract the answer to a key question from the various fragmented and chaotic text information...]

[…What caused all this? ]

The screen went dark again, the white question subtitles gradually faded, and the miserable and sad soundtrack gradually sounded.

What appears in the video is an image of the "Mad Lord" drawn by an art student in the forum. His body is covered with scars, and his eyes are crazy but excited.

[Antonista, Baron of the Dusk Snow Country, Blade of the Red Harbor Cage, Slayer of the Siren, Owner of the small town of Reggar, and... Lord of the Madness. ]

[If we only look at the empty tombstones in the study and underground tombs in the lord's fortress, we might think that this is a selfish lord who possesses powerful military force and is brave but lacks moral integrity.]

[After all, from the important text of "Antonista's Diary", it is not difficult for us to know that all this was caused by him and the Bloody Priest Domitarch.]

At this point in the video, there are more comments. Some people expressed their opinions and simply summarized it as "SM is harmful to people"...

But the storyteller quickly changed the subject.

[…But in my opinion, the alliance between the Lord and Domitak is only the direct cause. The most fundamental reason is…the blood curse of the Star family! ]

[In the room at the end of the passage to the left of the Canglang entourage, the storyteller found a very important piece of information. ]

[A long time ago, the Star family was cursed by a being called the "Curser". This curse took root in the blood of every child of other families, causing every family member to have more or less mental defects.]

[This has had a profound impact on the development of the Star family and is also the real reason for the current situation of the coastal town. ]

[Because, if it didn't exist, then Antonista would probably be a rare and conscientious baron lord. ]

The storyteller's words immediately messed up the barrage, and a group of people typed "Ah?" in an orderly manner.

Rogge was also very interested and looked forward to his next words.

[Hearing this, Yan Zu in the comments might say, huh? Storyteller, what are you talking about? Such a cruel lord, who screwed over everyone in the town and became neither human nor ghost in the end, how could he become a rare lord? ]

[Don’t worry, I’ll explain it in detail soon~]

[I wonder if you have noticed that in "Antonista's Diary", there is a passage that says this.]

[…A day worth celebrating, some fresh fruit to show the grace of the Star family.]

[Some of you may think this sentence is ordinary, and in fact it is indeed ordinary, but everyone should not forget one thing, this is the day when Antonista's wife's condition improves, and it is only on this day that Antonista can think of his subjects. ]

[Even if he did this to show the lord's grace, at least he thought about it. And judging from the shriveled fruit cores in some townspeople's homes, he was probably really rich...]

[Moreover, based on this alone, the storyteller would certainly not make such a statement, because there are several other points that can support this.]

[First, I wonder if you have noticed one of Antonista's titles, "Siren Slayer", the name of his weapon, "Demon Slayer Lord Blade", and the "Siren Skull" in the grave? ]

[The description of the item Siren's Skull is "The Siren that brought disaster to the coast was beheaded by the brave lord." It was beheaded because it brought disaster to the coast, not because the lord beheaded it to show his bravery. ]

【The second one is also derived from one of the titles, "Red Harbor Cage Blade". Those with a good memory must have remembered the talent of the Wolf Squire - "Cage Fighting". 】【Adding the important sentence "Red Harbor is a place for the release of evil" on the third book on the far right of the second box on the left side of the Lord's study, we can prove Anthony's character and roughly infer the story between him and the Wolf Squire. 】

[There is no doubt that the Grey Wolf Squire Vico was brought back by Anthony from the "Red Harbor".]

[Let's put the Canglang follower aside for now and move on to the next piece of evidence.]

[Third, "The Blacksmith's Will" and "The Advice from the Ancestor Star" and the ornament "Handmade Clay Sculpture". ]

At this point, the storyteller directly revealed the contents of the suicide note and briefly talked about the warning given by ancestor Star.

[…The key point here is, “I don’t know why Lord Anthony has become what he is now.” I’m sure the smart readers have figured it out. ]

[Yes, in the eyes of the townspeople, Anthony must have been a qualified lord. Even in his suicide note, he was respectfully addressed as "Sir" instead of some damn lord...]

[The coastal town is so clean and tidy. The townspeople live in sturdy houses made of bricks instead of straw huts. The town also has its own long-distance fleet, etc.]

[And from the warnings of the Star ancestors, we can also see that the Star family has a strict family tradition. And... would a person who was cruel from the beginning use the "handmade clay sculptures" made by children as his own burial objects? ]

[More obviously, whether before or after the fusion, when Anthony sees the item in the player's hand, he will control it for a moment. Lingzhu has designed this very clearly.]

[So, regarding Antonista's character, I believe that all readers should have made their own judgments at this point, and there is no need for the storyteller to say more.]

[As for the rest of the story, it is not difficult for everyone to understand. When his wife became ill, Antonista's blood curse began to become uncontrollable. At this time, the fleet brought back news. He was panicked and insecure, so he let the Blood-robed Priest take advantage of the situation and tried to use the crazy priest to treat his wife. However, he did not expect that the Blood-robed Priest had bigger plans, and madness spread throughout the coastal town...]

[Of course, the storyteller has no intention of whitewashing the game, but just digs out these game details one by one and tells everyone. After all, Antonista is just a game character. ]

[Ahem, speaking of this, the storyteller wants to recommend a story to everyone...]

At this point in the video, the comments have gone crazy and no one cares that this guy is taking the opportunity to post an advertisement to make money.

"Fuck!"

"What a great storyteller! You can remember the location of every book so clearly. This meal should belong to you!"

"Fuck, isn't it just coins? Here you go! No, why can I only invest this much? Take it, take it all!"

"Oh my god, I was wondering why when I first saw these words I always felt like I had seen them somewhere before. What on earth is wrong with the brains of this game production team?"

"...It seems that we really have wronged this Antonista. If his wife hadn't been sick, he would have continued to be his wise lord. But once his wife fell ill, the Blood-robed Priest took advantage of the situation and this disaster came out of nowhere... My God, it's so tragic."

"Hahahaha, I don't understand, I don't understand, I'm the one who ignited the blood-robed priest, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

"It's tragic, but it's an indisputable fact that he killed so many townspeople. Moreover... he's mentally ill and still a chicken feather lord, he's a disaster!"

"The guy upstairs has a sore on his brain and it's rotten because of pus? This is the medieval setting they set up, why are you picking on it?"

"Are you sympathizing with the murderer?"

"..."

Both the comments and barrage below the video sparked heated discussions, and some people even started to confront each other online.

Hearing this, Roger couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As for what happened to Antonista, he could only sigh in his heart.

To the players, these are just game characters, but to Rogge, these are real people who once existed in this world, and tragedy does not only exist in stories.

Secondly, Rogge also paid attention to another thing.

Judging from the contents of "The Prelude to Extinction" and "The Navigation Record of the Gray Crow Sea Bay", the people of this world seemed to have anticipated the disaster before it came.

So where did this terrible disaster come from? Is it related to the primordial fire in the Eternal Altar or is there some other reason?
While Roger was thinking, the storyteller's advertisement was almost finished.

[…Okay, let’s get back to the point. After figuring out the root cause of the coastal town, let’s talk about these monsters that are worth mentioning one by one.]

[I won't say much about cannon fodder like the fisherman. The game didn't reveal any relevant information. It is probably due to the ritual of the Blood-robed Priest.]

【Lighthouse Keeper! 】

[Although this fellow's appearance is not as good as the drowned flower, it is also unique and frightened many of us when we first saw him.]

[Wow, this is a cosplay of Kennedy, right? His head is wide open, his brain is flying in the sky, and the searchlight that applies abnormal status actually comes from this guy's eyes, which makes people feel very embarrassed. ]

[However, there is not much description about it in the game, and the storyteller did not find any relevant content. This is the case with the Crazy Meatball, and it is probably brought by the Blood-robed Priest.]

[Compared to it, the collar on the dog's neck below can obviously make the readers smile more...]

At this point, a bunch of lines from the tyrannical lady instantly floated across the barrage, such as "My puppy~" and "Good puppy~", followed by a kissing expression like a flower, each one more outrageous than the other...

【Then there is the "bloody priest." 】

[Compared to Antonista, this guy is a pure villain. ]

[It came from an organization called "Whisper of Liberation". For unknown reasons, they distributed brochures everywhere and eventually chose Lord Antonista. They sacrificed the townspeople in the town of Reggar, which was cruel and crazy.]

[Perhaps the only quality worth seeing is that it has a bit of a spirit of contract? After all, most villains end up having despicable partners, but it did heal Anthony's wife, although the latter's mental state in the underground space seems a bit worrying...]

"A Little Worrying"

"This one is a birth within a birth!"

"Oh, just tell me if your wife's illness has healed, okay?"

"I think she was just pretending to be sick. The whip hurt me so much."

"Even a wicked person like the Bloody Priest knows the importance of contract, but the person who lent me money doesn't know! (Angry)"
