Dusk Chronicles

Chapter 7

"My descendants, I will pursue the tower of omniscience that shines in the sea of truth." Thinking about what was written on her diary, Zaix blushed.

"Let go of your hands first, since you have found what I left behind, and Goddess Miya has also sent your soul here, that means we are a match."

“Then you agree?” Melyan immediately showed a joyous expression.

There was a rare red hue on Zaix's pale face.

"I'm really sorry. I had examined the body of this teenager, when he entered this place by accident. She had no qualifications to become a witch. And the path to the witch is not as easy as you think, it is ..."

“Dark and long streets full of traps and thorns, but there is sweet fruit at the end of the road.” Melyan read the work that Zaix had written earlier.

"Even so, we must also remain persevering and determined with sincerity in the truth."

Zaix's raised hand was held up in the air, he couldn't say a word for a long time. Why does this kid feel so familiar?

"Forget it, since you've been here, just stay here for a few days. Go and deliver food to people in prison, be careful not to get hurt by them."

Melyan hurriedly jumped off the bed and lowered her head respectfully.

"Okay, Mr. Zaix."

Staring at the teenager's back, Zaix sighed.

At all times, there are always young people who dare to sacrifice everything for the sake of their dreams.

Zaix suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"It seems that I didn't tell you where the four doors were going, and my diary only said that I was a witch, and never mentioned the death technique. How did he know to use that technique to pretend to be dead and prevent his soul from being taken away?" The corner of his lips lifted.

"Little boy, what else are you hiding from me?!"

As a scholar, Melyan always had the protection of a special bodyguard, there was a priest who would recover his health. The players he knew came from intellectual circles and professional scholars. Therefore, he was very innocent and never devious in mind, so once he received an order from Zaix, he went straight to the activity room, and did not expect that his actions had made Zaix suspicious.

He walked down the stairs with food, and felt that the dungeon was currently very clean. Then he opens the system log to check for notifications from the system.

In a row of system notifications, a refill of "Great Goddess Miya" made her very curious.

It turned out that the Blessing Goddess Miya could be replenished, then was it by using the leaf essence of the Tree of Immortality or the Legendary Trust Crystal?

Then a notice about the wound healing that Zaix did with "Holy Water".

"Mission ‘Serve from difficulty’ successfully, the completion rate is 85%, you get 850 experience points."

The missions of the Twilight Era can be divided into visible missions and trigger missions. Missions are seen to have clear instructions, including signs such as receiving missions, mission instructions, and completing missions. A triggered mission is similar to a hidden mission but not identical. Hidden missions will only earn rewards when the mission is completely completed, while reward-triggering missions will be awarded in stages.

"Survive from Adversity" is a triggered mission. From the moment he is kidnapped to a team of miners to being rescued by Zaix at the end of the mission, gaining Martin's trust during that period is the mission in his midst.

As for the settlement rate, he guessed that the remaining 15% was to save innocent people from Zaix's hands. Each perfectly completed mission has a reward of at least 200 points, according to its difficulty level.

As he walked down the stairs happily and prepared to hand out food to the prisoners inside the prison, he was stunned by the sight before him.

It turns out that Zaix in the Era of Faith likes to imprison people.

There are a lot of people in custody here, not at all a stitched corpse with the odd shape seen in the expansion film.

The sound of his footsteps made the sad-faced people in custody raise their heads one after another.

A bald man looked at Melyan and hit the iron window excitedly.

"Sister, let me out, please. I'll definitely thank you after I get out."

Rhodes, the storm swordsman, isn't he a level 40 gold ranked mercenary? He was active in the misty forest and asked for wild levies there. Taking advantage of the transport difficulties and the rarity of non-player characters, he bought a saber-toothed cat fang at a low price,  then together with his kurcaci friend made a tiger tooth arrow and sold for a high price, and insulted the new archer. He ends up being humiliated by Lemon Soda, a robber.

So, that dwarf named Thorin was supposed to be here as well.

It turned out to be true, Melyan glanced at the prison next to him and looked at the red-bearded dwarf who was sleeping soundly.

It turned out that these two people had not committed any crimes in Leaf New Year due to imprisonment. Fortunately they were imprisoned, if they were released early, they would definitely become demon lords.

"Sister, brother, say something!"

“Stop yelling, you'll be out any minute.” Melyan impatiently threw a piece of bread at him.

Melyan stuck out her tongue, apologized, and walked to the next prison.

What Melyan did not see was that after taking the bread, Rhode looked at him with implied meaning, as if wanting to carve Melyan's face in his mind.

The few remaining prisoners were not as excited as Rhodes, they could only resignedly accept fate.

When Melyan walked to the last prison, it happened that the magic lamp on the wall went out. He hesitated for a moment, patted both sides of the lamp holder inside the darkness, and then took out a spare crystal from the box to the right of the lamp and placed it on top of it.

A gentle light flashed again, and when Melyan looked up, he saw a pair of purple-colored eyes.

The Rose of the Morning Star never withers.

Melyan was sitting on the ground, but not because he was fascinated by the pair of beautiful eyes, but because he was surprised.

If someone else were to change, the reaction would be the same.

"Pfft ...” The master of this pair of eyes closed his mouth and laughed.

His long golden hair moved like a waterfall, glittering under the light of a magic lamp.

Melyan patted her ass and stood up, she felt that the woman was very familiar, but she could not remember it for a while.

"Do you need food?"

Melyan opened the pouch and let the woman choose.

This was the gentlemanly attitude of a legendary scholar. This was how he explained this unnatural behavior.

“Thank you.” The blonde-haired girl bowed slightly gracefully, and picked up a piece of rye bread and two kiwis.

Melyan gave it all up.

"My name is Susi, are you?"

"Sheif."

After a simple conversation, Melyan nodded and prepared to leave.

He immediately searched his memory and made sure he had never heard this name.

However, after walking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned around abruptly.

"You are Zulia, Duke of the Roses?"

The blonde girl was surprised, the bread in her hand fell to the ground.

"Player …." The sound of a snap of a finger suddenly rang out, the room around him suddenly falling into the darkness.

A bright moonlight fell between the two, and the elegant figure of Zaix also appeared.

“Sneaky boy, did you miss something just now?” He glanced at Melyan from top to bottom.

"I also sometimes don't remember that there's a spare crystal next to this magic lamp, besides, without me telling you, you can find your own kitchen, then find your way to the dungeon. Not only that, you also pretended to be dead so that your soul would not be taken away, it seems that I did not write those things in my diary at that time.

‘Because I have formed a group and tried a dozen times to find your rare diary book.’ Shouted Melyan in heart.

"You even know Zulia, is a place like Manarola able to receive this kind of information?"

Melyan's brain spun rapidly, and he realized that he had revealed too much information.

“Yeah, actually I am a scholar of Wehuwera.” Melyan was forced to fabricate a new identity.

This identity could never be verified by Zaix because it was a gathering of scholars he formed to exchange information and discuss knowledge. Its headquarters in Morrowind was established in the 22nd year of the Dusk Era, which was 25 years later.

"Wehuwera?" Zaix raised his eyebrows. "That's a chamber of commerce similar to the Golden Rose?"

"No, it's purely a student organization. Its purpose is to solve mystical mysteries and discuss customs and cultures in various places. The base is at the Morning Star, so I've met Miss Zulia there." Melyan whispered in her heart. ‘Almost, I almost just said game strategy.’

"Then what's your purpose here?"
