Chapter 793: Chapter 518: Dark Clouds Over the Forest and the Reaction of the Treasure_1
Upon hearing the notification, Leo Ray immediately opened the private message details.
It was none other than Myla, the female lord with a treasure-finding talent who had previously explored the Ancient Ship with him, who had sent the message.
The specific content of the reply was as follows:
[Master Leo, the sky suddenly turned dark, full of fish, save us please, it’s very weird over here#g]
Looking at this brief and incoherent message, with even the end appearing like garbled text,
A look of contemplation emerged on Leo Ray’s face, slightly surprised.
At a glance, it could be basically confirmed that-
This unconnected reply was most likely sent by the other party in a hurry, without finishing typing it.
As for why this happened, it’s very likely that the other party was already restricted in their movements, or had even lost consciousness.
Speaking of which, regarding the remote communication between lords, Leo Ray, who had long since been familiar with it, naturally understood clearly.
Both the private message interface and the Chat Channel-
require the use of a virtual keyboard that only oneself can see. One needs to first customize the size, then project it onto a desktop or other flat surface in order to type.
Using it feels similar to typing on a smartphone.
From this, it can be deduced that the incoherent text was most likely due to the other party selecting the wrong corresponding words when typing quickly, resulting in a disjointed message.
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that although voice communication and even calling functions between lords do exist,
both parties need to have reached Level 6 Lord’s Mansion for these features to be available.
Therefore, at the current stage, for most lords who are far ahead of the first tier, having not even reached Level 5 Mansion-
Typing remains the mainstream method of communication for the foreseeable future.
“From the current situation, it’s almost impossible to ask for more information from her. The top priority now is to figure out what she meant.”
Furrowing his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray focused his attention back on the text.
After some simple deductions and trying on a virtual keyboard,
Leo Ray ultimately restored the correct meaning that the other party wanted to convey as follows:
[Master Leo, the sky suddenly turned dark, full of fish, save us please, it’s very strange here]
Staring at this restored text, which still seemed baffling, Leo Ray’s brows nearly knitted together.
Firstly, the first four words “Master Leo” were an address to himself, needless to say.
Secondly, the latter part of “save us” and “it’s very strange here” had nothing worth deeply interpreting.
As for the middle part, “the sky suddenly turned dark” and “the sky is full of fish”, these two small sections were somewhat thought-provoking.
At present, it was a sunny afternoon, still quite some time before evening.
So, “the sky suddenly turned dark” was obviously not normal.
And the most abnormal part was the phrase “the sky is full of fish”.
“Although this otherworld has many aspects that are vastly different from the Earth, having the sky full of fish just seems abnormal no matter how you think about it, right?”
Looking at the Lord’s Office window, watching the brilliant sunlight casting spots of light on the smooth wooden desk, Leo Ray couldn’t help but purse his lips as he continued to ponder.
“Considering all the situations I’ve experienced before, could it be that someone in the Pine Sound Range has used a Sky Illusion Skill similar to the one in the Crystal Kingdom’s incident?”
Lost in thought, Leo Ray, leaning against the office table, unconsciously raised his partially clenched right hand, placing his thumb on his cheek while his index finger gently rubbed his nose bridge. This was his usual gesture when deep in thought.
“With this thought, the situation becomes somewhat explainable.”
“From the naturally formed Mirage in the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, it’s known that people with Tier 3 and below strength, or even ordinary people, can indeed lose consciousness in the Illusion Realm, especially near the Formation Eye Area.”
Realizing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
“But why would anyone cast such a large-scale Illusion in the rarely visited Pine Sound Range? To my knowledge, the territories of Quinn Serena, Gabriel Jordan and Myla are not adjacent to each other.”
“If it was just to eliminate the Otherworldly Lord, there are much simpler methods, as using a large-scale Illusion is extremely exhausting to an Illusionist’s magic.”
“Moreover, unlike small-scale Illusions, to achieve the best deceptive effect when using large-scale Illusions, Illusionists often need to use extremely valuable magic tools as aids.”
At this moment, Leo Ray’s face showed a puzzled expression: “Hence, if using Illusion just to kill the Otherworldly Lord, it undeniably seems a bit excessive, or is it possible that the Pine Sound Range has experienced a natural Mirage?”
“But, the Mirages in this world, like the mirages in the Earth’s seas, only occur under extremely rare circumstances, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to appear so frequently.”
Just as Leo Ray was lost in confusion,
The notification sound for his private messages rang again.
