Using the invitation to the Abyss Party would trigger the second main quest. The only bad thing was that:
If Bai Xiaowen was in danger of losing his life during the second main quest, he would have to use the Return Item and leave the Blacktide Realm. In this way, the remaining seven days of free exploration of the first main quest would be wasted.
However, Bai Xiaowen was still quite confident. Although he was only Level-5 now, with the support of his Dark Gold equipment and exclusive equipment, his strength was no worse than a Level-7 Awakened Hero. Even if the second main quest was difficult and did not match his level, he would not be forced to leave the Blacktide Realm in advance.
With Bai Xiaowen's choice, the sparks on the invitation stopped, and only a corner of it burned.
Soon, the words on the invitation changed:
"When light and darkness intersect, when the son of the sea touches the earth, board the ferry that shuttles between the realms of Yin and Yang. The messenger of God will take you to the other side."
Li Shuyi looked at the words on the invitation and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Why is it a riddle again? I find that there are always some mysterious things in the Blacktide Realm. How do I explain this? "
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "These four sentences are not difficult to understand. The first two sentences refer to the timing. The so-called 'intersect of light and darkness' generally has two periods, one is dusk, and the other is dawn. 'The son of the sea touches the earth' actually refers to the rising tide of the sea. Referring to the 'ferry that shuttles between the realms of Yin and Yang,' I think it should be during the rising tide at dawn. We have to board a special boat at a specific location to participate in the Abyss Party. "
Li Shuyi had a feeling of realization and then said, "Where is the specific location?"
Bai Xiaowen picked up the invitation and looked at it carefully. On the back of the invitation, he found a floating black arrow. A strange thing happened. No matter how Bai Xiaowen turned and folded the invitation, the black arrow always pointed in one direction — the direction of the Owl Pier.
"This black arrow should be a hint of the location. I didn't expect it to be the Owl Pier …" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "That's good. Why don't we wait near the pier? It's after midnight now, and dawn is coming. "
A notification from the Precepts of the Spirit Realm sounded:
"You've already deciphered the guidance information on the invitation to the Abyss Party. You have received a further hint. "
"Please go to the Owl Pier before dawn and board the Nagelfal."
Li Shuyi looked at the Night Owl Pier in the distance. The victims' families had already woken up the kidnapped residents and were returning one after another. Mayor Hiram's hands were finally tied up and he was escorted to the carriage by two patrolling militiamen.
Ahan looked around as if he were looking for something. After a long time, he seemed to sigh and helped his sobbing wife Jenny onto the horse. Holding the reins, he slowly followed the crowd.
"So we don't have to go back to Hodge Town? I feel like … I should say goodbye to Ahan and his wife. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Forget it. No matter how you look at it, it's best not to meet him."
Li Shuyi nodded slightly. "Ahan is actually a good person. I hope he won't be implicated by Hiram. Only if he continues to be the sheriff will Hodge Town truly enjoy peaceful days."
Bai Xiaowen was silent. He could actually guess that Ahan might not be able to continue to be the sheriff. With Hiram's fall, Hodge Town would face a power reshuffle. As the son-in-law of the former mayor and the commander of an important armed force, the patrolling militia, how could Ahan stay out of this? He was bound to be involved in the power struggle.
With Ahan's current guilt, it was almost impossible for him to actively advance in this power struggle. The power struggle was like rowing a boat against the current. If you didn't advance, you would fall behind. After someone else took over as mayor of Hodge Town, Ahan, the sheriff, would sooner or later step down from his position in the public opinion.
However, Bai Xiaowen wasn't worried about the safety of Ahan and his wife Jenny. As a Level-8 leader and the strongest person in Hodge Town, even if Ahan lost his position as sheriff, few people would be willing to provoke him.
After all the residents and patrolling soldiers of Hodge Town left, Kitts returned, followed by Jide and some elite members of the Crow Organization.
Jide and the others smiled apologetically. Bai Xiaowen had previously instructed them to secretly notify the missing people's families and gather them together. After Kitts went to notify them, the Crow Organization immediately notified the missing people's families and asked them to go to Owl Pier. Only then did they block Hiram's deal with the Nagas, leaving Hiram with no way out.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "You did well. I'll leave Hodge Town soon. According to our agreement, you're free. "
Jide and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. Joshua's bizarre death had shocked them greatly. Bai Xiaowen's miraculous methods had frightened them. Now that this mysterious figure was finally leaving Hodge Town, they all felt as if the sharp sword hanging over their heads had been removed.
Bai Xiaowen smiled faintly, "Jide, don't be too happy just yet … What I mean is, I will no longer be involved in the matters of the Crow organisation. No matter who kills who, or who becomes the boss, it has nothing to do with me."
Jide's expression changed slightly. He suddenly remembered that his position as the boss had been supported by Bai Xiaowen. For this, he had even chopped off the head of the previous boss, Benny. Although it was just whipping the corpse, the lower-level members would definitely despise him. Now that Bai Xiaowen was no longer in charge of the Crow Organization, it meant that Jide would no longer be under Bai Xiaowen's protection. His backer was gone.
Jide turned to look at the other elites of the Crow Organization. Under the moonlight, their faces were hidden, and he couldn't see any special expressions. However, the more they were like this, the more Jide felt uneasy.
"That … Sir, the Crow Organization is still willing to pledge our loyalty to you, please don't abandon us!" Jide reacted quickly.
Bai Xiaowen originally didn't care about the Crow Organization. He didn't need to waste his energy on such a weak underground organization. But now that he had nothing to do, Bai Xiaowen nodded and said with a smile, "It's better to have something than nothing.
"Are you sure? Can you speak for the others? "
Jide's head nodded vigorously. The other elites' expressions couldn't be seen, but no one dared to object.
"Alright, you guys can go back. I'll be back in the future. Maybe there will be times when I need you guys. "Bai Xiaowen said.
Jide and the others left with their own thoughts. Bai Xiaowen and Jide walked to the abandoned wooden boat at the Owl Pier and continued to wait.
The moon was hanging in the west, and when the hazy rays of light gradually appeared in the east, the sea was high, and the sea was covered in fog.
A horn sounded from the bottom of the sea, and in the fog, a tattered boat full of shells and oysters slowly sailed over.
