Bizarre Voyage: Summoning The Fourth Crisis

Before logging into the game, Li Miao also took a look at the forum comments about the video.

DreamingOfHerdingSheep: ”I gotta say, the bosses in the Gulard Empire are all pretty cool. They have style, and they don’t look like mummified corpses.”

LightRainClearWind: ”So here’s the question: why haven’t the Gulard Empire’s bosses and Soldiers turned into mummified corpses?”

Li Xiaoyang: ”Maybe it’s because they took preservatives?”

0.0: ”Could she really be a genius?”

KingOfKindergarten: ”The name Forest of the Dead is really fitting. I went there once after hearing other players talk about it, and the sight made me physically ill. I’m really impressed that the master Wa Zai actually dared to go in and listen to them one by one.”

Kobeman: ”The laws of this Gulard Empire are too cruel. Drowning people is one thing, but to imprison their Souls too? These people are so pitiful.”

Mouseitai: ”Are you an idiot? I suggest you go listen to these Souls’ last words yourself. There are robbers, rapists, murderers, and arsonists among them. Pitiful? They should drown you in the sea too, you moron.”

Catletme: ”I wonder what kind of person this Emperor of Glade, Helzaken, is.”

The players in the comment section were also voicing their opinions, and some even added more details.

For example, there were letters that had a chance to drop from certain Exiled Prisoners. Of course, the information in them wasn’t particularly important, serving only as supplementary lore for the Exile Island area.

’This game is getting more and more interesting,’ Li Miao thought to himself.

Then, he started logging into the game.

After the familiar glow of Candlefire appeared before his eyes, Li Miao habitually twisted his neck and stretched his body.

’This feeling of abundant Power and endless Physical Strength is always such a heart-thumping experience...’

He glanced around. This was the Reef Cave.

He logged in on Candle Island because he’d glanced at the Candlekeeper’s shop upon returning yesterday. Otherwise, he would have appeared on Exile Island.

After taking off his helmet and stowing his Law Greatsword and Large Shield, Li Miao walked out of the Reef Cave. He ran into Noxia along the way and naturally greeted her.

”Good day, Miss Noxia.”

”Good day, brave Warrior.”

Noxia bowed slightly, responding politely.

’Having a beautiful NPC around is so easy on the eyes...’ Li Miao mused.

”Brother Miao is online?”

”Hey, boss!”

At this moment, other players also saw Li Miao. Even if they didn’t recognize him, they knew from his full suit of Heavy Armor that he was a master player.

Li Miao smiled and responded in kind.

More and more players were on Exile Island, while Candle Island was mostly full of newbies.

After walking from the cave to Spirit Fire Port, Li Miao was surprised to find a large number of players gathered around, seemingly watching some commotion.

’Is that the Candlekeeper?’

’What’s he doing? Opening a new map again?’

Li Miao scratched his head, then scanned the crowd, walked up, and tapped someone on the shoulder.

Shore, who was watching the commotion, turned his head. Seeing it was Li Miao, he said testily, ”Took you long enough. Were you constipated or something?”

”I was watching a video.” Li Miao shrugged. The two of them were roommates, but Shore was just a bit faster at logging in.

He then stood on his tiptoes but still couldn’t quite see what was happening up front.

”Can’t you see if you just turn into a Law Knight?”

Shore facepalmed, truly dumbfounded by his stupidity.

The words made Li Miao realize. With a sheepish grin, he quickly transformed into a Law Knight. Now towering over the other players, his height allowed him to finally get a clear view of the situation up front.

Just as he’d expected, it was indeed the Candlekeeper at Spirit Fire Port, triggering a new event—most likely opening up a new map.

[Searching for Areas...]

[Search successful. Four areas have been marked.]

[Area 1: Unknown Island (Requires 853 Wax Oil to tow. Danger Level: Medium)]

[Area 2: Unknown Islands (Requires 914 Wax Oil to tow. Danger Level: Medium)]

[Area 3: Unknown Battlefield Ruins (Requires 1256 Wax Oil to tow. Danger Level: High)]

[Area 4: Drifting Islet (Requires 217 Wax Oil to tow. Danger Level: Low)]

The Tier Two Spirit Fire Port not only had an additional area option but also provided feedback on the danger level.

This feedback was likely based on the current Tier of the Spirit Candle.

After a moment of thought, Luo Ge glanced at his own still-plentiful supply of Wax Oil and directly selected two areas.

[Confirmed towing of Area 1: Unknown Island]

[Consuming 853 Wax Oil. Towing in progress...]

[Confirmed towing of Area 3: Unknown Battlefield Ruins]

[Consuming 1256 Wax Oil. Towing in progress...]

RATTLE!

THUD!

This time, two colossal, ethereal anchors appeared at once. They shot out to the left and right, creating a tremendous sound.

A moment later, space trembled, and the towing was complete.

[Towing successful!]

[Area Towed: Unknown Island]

[Area Towed: Unknown Battlefield Ruins]

The ethereal anchors gradually faded away, and two Fog Gates, one large and one small, appeared below the Dark Boundary.

Luo Ge turned his head, looked at the players, and gave them a slight nod.

”The unknown area on the right is more dangerous. It would be best if you go only after you are fully prepared.”

With that said, he vanished from before the players’ eyes.

In his place, two notifications appeared before everyone.

[Attention! Two brand-new unknown areas have been unlocked and are now open to all players!]

[To explore these areas, please proceed on your own.]

”Whoa! New maps are open again! Yay!”

”I wonder what new stuff there’ll be this time. I’m so excited.”

”I really want to go check out the new maps... but I haven’t even saved up enough Wax Oil for a Spirit Fire Ship yet.”
