Chapter 308 Psychological shadow

"That seems to be a metal box?"

"Yes, the material should be corrosion-resistant shadow steel."

"I just discovered it when I was messing around a little bit. I used a little too much force."

Pei Renli looked around and thought to himself, "You call this a little bit?"

A standard circular depression was made on the first floor of the shopping mall, which was equivalent to being smashed directly from the first floor to the underground parking lot.

Since the buildings in Ever Dark City are only superficial, strictly speaking, this is not an underground parking lot, but a basement.

"But it's been smashed. Is the stuff inside broken?"

"Don't touch it directly!"

He quickly stopped Philuffy who was trying to attack directly. Sometimes I really doubted how this guy became a mage.

Lu Jie on the side snapped her fingers, and the ginger cookie man butler behind her stepped forward and opened the lid of the box.

Because the entire box seemed to have been twisted and crushed by a huge impact, opening the lid was basically removing the lid.

Then the three of them saw a lantern lying in the box, with a soft purple cloth and sponge underneath.

The lantern is only about the size of a palm, and is made of very standard glass and metal. There is no lamp oil or candles inside the lantern. Apart from the fact that the size is indeed rare, there is nothing special about it at first glance.

"That's the light. Take it away quickly and we can end this Demon King Arena."

Philuffy seemed a little happy, but she saw that both Perrenli and Lu Jie looked at him as if they were looking at fools.

"What's wrong? Isn't it said that the sooner you clear the customs, the easier it will be?"

"Atlas, please explain. I hope Philuffy can be more thoughtful."

Lu Jie was speechless. She found an open space and put the tables and chairs again and started drinking tea.

So Philuffy could only look at Pei Renli with confused eyes.

"It's true that the earlier you clear the customs, the easier it will be, but you have to make adjustments according to changing circumstances. Remember the rules."

Seeing that Phil Feifei still didn't understand, Pei Renli had no choice but to explain:

"Two of the rules are very important now. One is that when the lighthouse is fully lit, it will remain bright for three minutes. During this period, the shadow monsters will not attack the devil. After three minutes, the lighthouse will return to darkness. The number of shadow monsters will

and quality will be greatly improved.”

"Yes, that's why I say the earlier you clear the level, the easier it will be."

"But another rule is that shadow monsters don't go near people holding lights."

"oh!"

Seeing that Philuffy had figured it out, Pei Renli said again:

"The surge in the number and quality of shadow monsters will have a great impact on the actions of the demon kings in the ever-dark city. The efficiency of searching for lights will be greatly reduced, but for the demon kings who have found the lights, the monsters are not the enemy, the enemies are other demon kings

That’s right.”

Lu Jie raised her tea cup and asked Pei Renli:

"Do you have a plan?"

"Kind of."

"What a coincidence, I also have some ideas."

"Is it an idea?"

"It should be more or less an idea."

The conversation between these two people once again confused Philuffy:

"What...should we do now?"

"wait."

Pei Renli took two steps forward and sat opposite Lu Jie:

"Currently, two of the three sides of the lighthouse have been lit. As long as one more side is lit, the lighthouse will be completely lit. After three minutes, the number and quality of shadow monsters will surge. This is the best time for us to go to the lighthouse with lights.

opportunity."

The condition for passing the customs is to light up the lighthouse with a light, and the person holding the light is called the brightest person in the night sky. From a long distance, you can see clearly as if you have a perspective hanger on.

Other demon kings will inevitably chase the person carrying the light. The closer they get to the lighthouse, the more frequent chases and ambushes will become.

The only thing that can stop these demon kings are shadow monsters, and shadow monsters will not get close to people holding lights, so they are a big help. Naturally, we have to wait until the number and quality of shadow monsters increase greatly.

Pei Renli was not the only one who noticed this, Lu Jie also thought about it, not to mention other demon kings who didn't necessarily use their brains.

The second side of the lighthouse has been lit for almost two hours, and the third side has not been lit yet. It can be seen that many demon kings may have the same idea as Pei Renli and Lu Jie and are waiting for the opportunity.

Philuffy figured it out, pointed to the light in the box and said:

"Should we move it to a safer place?"

Pei Renli shrugged:

"No, maybe as soon as you touch it, your position will be revealed immediately."

"How about moving the boxes together?"

Lu Jie interrupted at this time:

"The box is fixed and cannot be moved."

As he spoke, the ginger biscuit man butler pushed the flattened box hard, but the box did not move at all.

"What if we let the summoned creature hold it? If we wait until we are in front of the lighthouse, we can take over. Can we avoid exposing the position?"

"Give up. The rules of this map don't have that big of a loophole. Just recall the wording on the piece of paper with the rules written on it when you first came in."

Pei Renli patted the chair next to him, motioned for Philuffy to sit down, and then said:

"The rules are very clear, it's when you hold it, not when you hold it. The summoned creature is equivalent to the caster's puppet, and it naturally belongs to the caster. If it is held by the summoned creature, it is equivalent to being held by the caster."

"So you said, we just have to wait now?"

"Yes, after the lighthouse is completely lit and then completely plunged into darkness, the magic power can be restored."

I don't know what other people's situation is like, but Pei Renli has consumed a lot just now, and it usually takes seven or eight hours to fully recover. However, Pei Renli has a magic storage ring, which can restore him to his full strength in a short time.

Of course, vigilance is still necessary.

Perrenli set up a magic alarm in the shopping mall, and her secret eye also photographed the outside for reconnaissance. Lu Jie summoned several ginger biscuit men and asked them to hide behind the windows to report whether there were other demon kings approaching at any time.

"Would you like some black tea?"

Pei Renli refused:

"No, thank you, I don't like sweets."

In fact, this is a lie. Pei Renli likes sweets very much. Before time travel, he would go to the cake shop every now and then to buy a big cake to eat by himself. Usually, he would always have Fat House Happy Water and candies.

It will be even worse after time travel. Due to the current refining technology and production capacity, it is impossible to make white sugar as nauseating as it is on earth, and it is a very expensive thing.

A pack of white sugar, which is about 500g on Earth, costs about 5 to 8 gold coins, which is more expensive than many low-level potions, let alone desserts made with this kind of sugar.

Even due to traffic and transportation problems, there are only a few varieties of fruits, and no one grows fruit trees around Naspar. The most commonly eaten fruits are only berries collected from the edge of the sea of ​​​​big trees.

This is really uncomfortable for Pei Renli, who loves sweets.

However, based on the principle of caution, Pei Renli still chose to refuse Lu Jie's food.

Philuffy didn't think much about it at all, or she didn't think about it at all, but now she looked a little confused while holding the black tea.

"The black tea doesn't suit your taste?"

"No, it's just..."

Philuffy put down her teacup and asked solemnly:

"Atlas, Lujie, have you ever killed anyone?"

Pei Renli and Lu Jie looked at each other, and the latter said:

"Why do you ask?"

"I... feel a little uncomfortable."

Philuffy frowned, looking thoughtful:

"I didn't intend to kill him. It happened too fast and I didn't have time to stop it."

"It's just a vampire, what's there to worry about?"

"But he is also a human being."

It seems that Philuffy is really confused:
To be continued...
