The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 628: Elegy Dukedom

Chapter 628: Elegy Dukedom

Although Lin Yiyi didn’t know what happened just now, she was aware that the bartender’s att.i.tude toward them suddenly changed for the better.

However, the reason didn’t matter.

The players obtained a clue about Captain of the Stone.

If the players had a direction, it would significantly shorten their investigation time.

The players would no longer solely rely on luck and random encounters. Thus, it was a significant improvement in efficiency.

“I only know the place named ‘Elegy’, but is it even possible to look it up?” Lin Yiyi looked surprised, “Are you the ‘Longjing Google’?”

Lin Yiyi obtained preliminary information from her side and posted it on the forum. Less than three hours later, Longjing Tea called her, saying they had gathered all the information on the “Elegy.”

“Skip the nonsense. You have to trust my data research capability, Hyphen.”

“Why did you start calling me Hyphen again?”

“Don’t worry about those details. After all, I also know your real name. Calling you Yiyi feels like I’m close to you, which is a bit awkward.”

Longjing Tea said dissatisfiedly, “Anyway, I’m professional in researching information to develop a guide, whether in or outside the game. Isn’t Miss Nefer also helping with the investigation?”

“I saw your live stream. Are you guys performing some kind of reality TV show? This level of information… Instead of asking random people, you should search in the database of the Secret Eye.”

He leaned back on the seat while maintaining the voice call with Lin Yiyi and fidgeting with the pen in his hand.

There were three books in front of him showing pages marked with bookmarks. There was also a newspaper spread out on the table. He held a thick brown leather notebook in his left hand, which Nefertari had lent him temporarily.

“Brother, if you feel the address is too close, call me Yi… No, wait a minute… Forget it.”

“Stop, stop, stop talking nonsense. Listen up, Hyphen…”

“Are you talking to someone?” Nefertari came over curiously.

She walked over with a liquor bottle, and the accompanying gla.s.sware and ice cubes were already in the room.

“Ah… yes, Your Excellency.”

Longjing Tea quickly propped himself up from the chair and politely explained to Nefertari, “I was providing information to Miss Yiyi just now. Under the influence of His Highness Annan’s curse, we have this approach to transmitting information. “

“That’s convenient.” Nefertari sighed.

She didn’t bring the barrel over because Longjing Tea hadn’t finished using these books. Instead, she turned around and placed it on the square table at the door.

She opened the cask of liquor, and a strong aroma of malt filled the air.

Longjing Tea’s nose sniffed lightly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

It was not fruit wine, but it was beer.

He was interested, but he still needed to mind the main business.

Longjing Tea coughed lightly and sped up his speech a little, “To put it simply, Miss Yiyi. The term ‘Elegy’ you mentioned is the name of a duchy that has disappeared. It’s also the surname inherited by the n.o.ble family of that Grand Duke.”

“If Miss Nefer wasn’t next to you, I want to kick your a.s.s hard with my boots.” Lin Yiyi complained.

“Go away.” Longjing Tea felt a little ashamed. However, under Nefertari’s curious gaze, he was too embarra.s.sed to curse out loud, so he could only lower his voice and say, “Okay, to make the long story short, Elegy Dukedom is the Venerated Skeleton’s home. You probably have a deeper memory of the Venerated Skeleton than I do.”

“That dude?” Lin Yiyi couldn’t help but curse, “Darn it, why are we still dealing with that fellow? Why is he everywhere? Is he the next mob in the update patch?”

The trauma left in the gallery dungeon instance made her subconsciously dare not p.r.o.nounce the name.

“I think the Venerated Skeleton is innocent this time,” Longjing Tea replied. “Because the ritual for the ascension of the Venerated Skeleton was buried underground in the Elegy Dukedom.”

“Buried underground?”

“Yes, the underground. But it’s not the underground world… The birth of the underground world was related to the Rotten Man. The Rotten Man copied the Venerated Skeleton’s ‘no Book of Truth’ ritual to become a deity and then successfully sublimated into deityhood.”

“That is to say, in the era of the Skeleton, there was no such thing as an underground world. It should be purely buried somewhere under the Elegy Dukedom. The ascendancy ritual he used was composed of the corpses of all citizens of a country. If all the bones in his hometown can be dug up, then I think it’s quite easy to destroy it.”

Longjing Tea replied.

“That’s still a big project.” Lin Yiyi complained, “Digging up and rebury every corpse from a country again? I think it would be easier to blow up the place.”

“So I also think that Captain of the Stone’s guests going to Elegy Dukedom this time should not be for this matter.”

In other words, the pa.s.sengers who took the ship to Elegy Dukedom this time should not be to help the Venerated Skeleton or go against the Venerated Skeleton.

Lin Yiyi quickly realized this.

After all, it was a place where important things were buried, even related to the Venerated Skeleton’s existence.

If she were the Venerated Skeleton, as long as someone suddenly broke into such an important place, she would not consider the other party’s excuses. She would destroy the other party just in case.

However, if the other party wanted to defeat the Venerated Skeleton, it would take a long time to ruin the ritual.

If there was a team of workers, they might be able to complete it in a few years. But for one person, it was impossible no matter what. For such an important ritual, the Venerated Skeleton wouldn’t have left the place without some kind of sensing or monitoring device.

Supposed that person could move away all the corpses of a nation and purify them before burying them back before the Venerated Skeleton noticed and rushed over…

Then, the person must be able to defeat the Venerated Skeleton.

The Venerated Skeleton was not a subordinate deity. There was no second life. For a strong opponent of this level, instead of thinking about how to destroy His ritual, it would be faster to attack Him.

“This is strange…” Lin Yiyi frowned, “There’s just something off about it.”

“Exactly.” Longjing Tea clicked his tongue. “I also sense that something is off. But I’ve been busy training new recruits lately, so I can’t spare the time at the moment…”

“The location of the Elegy Dukedom ruins is in the southeast of the Papal Kingdom… That is the southeast corner of the ‘Circular Zone’, which the Gray Mists have long swallowed. You are in the southwestern corner of the United Kingdom. That’s almost the opposite end.”

“Then, how will Celecia and the others get there?” Lin Yiyi frowned slightly, “20 thousand miles under the sea? That’s a maelstrom.”

To sail directly there, Celecia had to cross the maelstrom caused by the sinking of the Imperial Capital. That was a place that even ordinary people’s merchant ships dared not travel to.

The curse concentration there was said to make nightmares manifest in reality.

After so many years, no one could pick up the legendary curse vessel that sank along with the Imperial Capital. It was not that no one tried, but that they all died in the salvage operations.

If Celecia could sail past there, did it also mean their ship could submerge into the layer where the Imperial Capital was?
