Due to the existence of the Four Symbols Maze, the vision of the two opposing NPCs was limited to the small meeting room after entering the Sky City. They were unable to clearly see the situation inside the Sky City and its surroundings. ≧
After Guo Jia removed the effects of the Four Symbols Maze, the vision of the two NPCs was instantly magnified. The situation inside the Sky City and its surroundings was instantly clear at a glance. The two NPCs' expressions instantly turned into a state of shock.
The scenery of the Sky City was actually very beautiful, especially at night. The surroundings were resplendent with stars, but the area around the small meeting room was soft and visible. The city seemed to be illuminated by bright moonlight. This was the night of the Sky City.
However, Yang Rui had always been used to such scenes. He had also always treated the Sky City as a military tool and did not pay too much attention to it. It was inevitable that ordinary people would be very surprised to suddenly encounter such an environment.
"My Lord's Sky City is indeed amazing. However, if you think that you can stay out of this matter with this Sky City, then you are gravely mistaken!"
The two NPCs were stunned by the existence of the Sky City. After a long while, they heard the Magician NPC speak again.
"My Lord, you have not personally experienced the Dark Tide, so you might not know. The Death Island is enveloped by a Divine Magic Restriction. When the Dark Tide arrives, everyone on the Death Island will be directly teleported into the Bestial Colosseum. Even if my Lord has this Sky City, you will not be able to use it!
Therefore, my Lord, you do not have many choices. The safest way is to cooperate with the other civilizations on the island to deal with the Dark Tide together. Not to become enemies with others. If you do that, everyone on the island, including my Lord, will be left behind. I'm afraid that will only lead to destruction! "
The Magician NPC continued. After the initial shock, he was the first to recover. Moreover, there was a hint of coercion in his words.
"Oh? Hehe, do you think that I can't face the Dark Tide alone? The more you think so, the more I want to give it a try! "
Yang Rui did not show any reaction to the Magician NPC's words. Instead, he continued to use his words to test the two NPCs to obtain more useful information.
The two NPCs kept talking about the monster horde. In truth, Yang Rui had already taken note of the monster horde. Something that could make all the NPC residents on the island so nervous was definitely not something that could be easily dealt with.
Moreover, Death Island's NPC residents weren't weak at all. Yang Rui had never encountered an NPC below the Martial General rank on Death Island. If even these NPCs were so cautious, one could just imagine how troublesome the monster horde would be.
"Milord, what this person said should be true. The instant we entered Death Island, I already faintly felt that the entire island seemed to be enveloped by some strange formation. It should be the Magic Restriction that this person spoke of."
At this moment, Guo Jia moved closer to Yang Rui's ear. He whispered his guess to Yang Rui, confirming the veracity of the Magician's words.
In this way. Yang Rui had a rough understanding of the situation on Death Island. It turned out that there was a Magic Restriction at work on the island. It would periodically release a large number of monsters on the island, causing all the NPCs on the island to be exhausted from dealing with them. In the end, they had no choice but to form an alliance.
"There's one thing that I don't understand. Since Death Island has a monster horde every once in a while, don't the people of the various civilizations on the island think of leaving the island?"
After the conversation between Yang Rui and the two NPCs was in a stalemate for a while, Yang Rui asked calmly.
However, Yang Rui's question caused the two NPCs to look at each other for a while. In the end, after a brief exchange of glances, they seemed to have understood the reason why Yang Rui was so bold and arrogant. Suddenly, the two NPCs seemed to have become more confident.
"Milord, do you know why this island is called Pleasure Island and also Death Island? Judging from the content of your question, I believe you still don't know.
Van Diermo Island is only one of the several islands in the Sea of Exile. It is the cruelest place to exile people who have committed heinous crimes. The island is shrouded in a powerful Magic Restriction, and the only way to enter is to leave. It is almost impossible to escape.
"Although I don't know how you managed to enter this island, you should have tried. Even with this flying city, you still can't fly out of Van Diermo Island. The restrictions in the air were set up by several Grand Magi, so there's no way to break them.
The only way to leave is through the Sea of Exile. However, the situation in the sea is extremely difficult for ordinary people to deal with. Hence, this island is like a prison. Once ordinary people enter the island, they can only face monster hordes again and again and live an ignoble existence.
This was also the reason why Van Diermo Island was called Death Island.
However, in the vast Sea of Exile, being exiled to the island and successfully landing on it was definitely a very lucky thing. Most exiles were fed to the fishes in the beginning, so this island was also called Pleasure Island.
According to the information we have, there seem to be two other islands in the sea close to Pleasure Island. Legend has it that they are called Happiness Island and Golden Island. However, this is only a rumor among people. No one has been able to confirm the existence of these two islands … "
In comparison, the Magician NPC seemed to be more knowledgeable and flexible. While answering Yang Rui's question, he seemed to have sunk into painful memories and talked about many things related to Death Island and the monster hordes.
Yang Rui could not help but frown for the first time. Listening to the Magician NPC's tone, it seemed that it was really difficult to leave Death Island. Perhaps this would become an insurmountable barrier that would prevent Yang Rui from participating in the players' championship.
On Death Island, Yang Rui had not killed a single monster or NPC. Even when a large group of birds surrounded the Sky Castle, Yang Rui only used the Four Symbols Maze to avoid them. He did not have time to attack. Hence, Yang Rui was not sure if he would be able to obtain points from the players' championship on Death Island.
At this time, there were more and more players entering the Foreign Realm. Yang Rui's 0 points had long been squeezed out of the top 100 players' rankings by a large margin.
"That makes sense! However, you have been advising me not to have any conflicts with other people on the island. I wonder if there is a detailed plan to deal with the monster hordes together? "
Temporarily putting aside the matter of the championship rankings, Yang Rui returned his thoughts to the monster hordes. He seemed to have pondered for a while before speaking.
In fact, as long as he could successfully leave Death Island, it did not matter what method he used. Cooperating with the NPCs on the island was also a good method. If he could contact the leaders of the various civilizations on the island, Yang Rui would be able to obtain more useful information.
"Sir, are you … not going to attack the other people on the island? That's great. If you are willing to advance and retreat with the others, I will explain to the messenger. I believe the messenger from the headquarters will also agree … "
Hearing the change in Yang Rui's attitude, the Magician NPC's face instantly brightened up. He took the initiative to accept the matter of communicating with the messenger from the civilization.
Although the two NPCs appeared to be calm before this, their lives were in the hands of Yang Rui. No matter how calm they appeared, their hearts were extremely unsettled. This was the moment when the Magician NPC revealed his true nature.
"It is very suitable for you to report this matter. However, he needs to stay here as a pledge.
Also, before that. It is better to let you fully understand my forces to prevent any misunderstandings in the process of transmitting the message.
Mr. Guo Jia. Remove the Four Symbols Maze where the soldiers are stationed. Let these two guests appreciate our strength … "
It could be said that the Magician NPC was a very clear-headed person. However, Yang Rui did not reject his suggestion. He only put forward a precondition on this basis and detained the warrior NPC who was traveling with him.
At the same time, Yang Rui did not forget to show off his strength. He asked Guo Jia to remove part of the Maze effect that enveloped the various camps in Sky City. The densely packed camps appeared in the vision of the two NPCs one after another. Their expressions became dull again.
The Four Symbols Maze that Guo Jia controlled was very flexible. He could achieve the effect of freely opening up a corner of the Maze. Previously, Guo Jia had deliberately hidden the encampment where Yang Rui's troops were stationed. Therefore, the two NPCs were shocked again.
However, what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg. Guo Jia was very reliable. Without communicating with Yang Rui in advance, he only showed them the tents of 50,000 Iron Guards and 20,000 long-range Archers. He did not show the rest of Yang Rui's troops.
Therefore, what the two NPCs saw was only the tip of the iceberg of Yang Rui's forces. Even so, the two NPCs were still very surprised. All the NPCs on Death Island combined were not as many as Yang Rui's troops!
In particular, the 20,000 Archers could be said to be a powerful weapon against the Dark Tide.
In addition, the two NPCs were too far away from the camps and could not determine the strength of Yang Rui's troops. They only thought that Yang Rui's troops were about the same level of strength as the NPCs on Death Island. This also increased the extent of the two NPCs' surprise.
"I'll let you go now to contact your Lord Emissary. I hope I'll be satisfied with the results …"
Since the deterrence effect was achieved, Yang Rui immediately found a secluded place and sent the Magician NPC out of Sky City. He then ordered him to return to the gathering point.
With the strength that Yang Rui displayed and the restrictions of the Dark Tide on Death Island, Yang Rui believed that the other party would be very willing to accept his part of the forces.
As for the contact with the other civilizations' gathering points, Yang Rui planned to directly let the NPCs here speak for him. It should be more convenient. Yang Rui could not go to the gathering points one by one and use this method of communication.
