Thinking back, actually five days to make a faith crystal is not bad at all.
After all, the dark corner entrance is different from other places. It does not have an "entrance" in the conventional sense, and there are not many restrictions on the number of people.
Each time the circle is activated.
No matter how many people there are, as long as they are within the holy eye prayer circle, they may be watched from a dark corner and swallowed together.
Therefore, the Faith Crystal Block is not a single-person ticket, but a multi-person team ticket.
A group trip every five days is quite cost-effective.
Besides, the reason why it takes five days to condense one faith crystal is because, to put it bluntly, the power of faith is not strong.
If a wider faith can be spread in the modern city, or if believers can go to the Companion Star Lake to pray, then the speed of condensation of faith crystals will definitely increase.
Therefore, if you really want to change the situation of one crystal in five days, there is a way.
But for now, condensation once every five days is enough. If you want to speed up the condensation efficiency, it will not be too late to wait until the Modern City is fully opened in the future and more challengers will participate.
Angel returned to the underwater church.
He did not bring the Beacon of Faith back, but planned to let it stay on the pressure plate and let it continue to condense the crystal blocks of faith.
As for the custody of the faith beacon, Angel didn't care too much. Anyway, with the nightmare protection, it was basically unlikely that something would go wrong.
But just in case, Angel told Luliana about the situation and asked her to pay attention occasionally.
Luliana also agreed.
Next, Angel was ready to activate the faith crystal in his hand and go to the dark corner to explore.
But before that, Angel did not forget to ask Luliana and Dolos about the dark corners.
Angel listened for a moment and was basically sure that the information Dolos and the others knew was not much different from what Abigail and Zuniga told him.
Angel has already understood this before.
The only thing that can attract him is the information about the "Dream Moonlight Sea".
Dolos has been living at this level before, so he has more detailed information about this level.
But to say how deep the understanding is, it is actually not bad. Because Dolos basically only stays on a small island on the sea at this level. And this level is extremely vast, and most of the place is an endless ocean.
, the deeper and more unknown secrets are still in the ocean that Dolos does not understand.
However, even so, Angel also glimpsed a corner of the Moonlight Sea from Dolos's story.
The dreamy moonlight sea is the 265th layer of the dark corner.
In a world with nearly infinite levels of dark corners, this place is not that special. The only thing worth mentioning is that this level has the owner of the level, which is declared to the outside world as the "Phantom Moon Eye", but the people living on this level
, they all call him Lord Yueyan.
Moon Eye actually means literally, a huge eye like the moon, hanging high in the sky.
As the master of the hierarchy, it is dotted on the sky, overlooking the entire ocean...
The "moonlight" of the Moonlight Sea refers to the sparkling light reflected on the sea surface when the moon's eye gazes.
Speaking of Moon Eyes, Dolos obviously talks a lot more.
He spoke in detail about his feelings about Moon Eyes and his understanding of the "Lord of the Levels".
In Dolos's account, almost every level of the dark corner has more or less dangers. Even in the so-called "safety level", there are still monster entities. At most, there are no rules for immediate death.
What he considers to be a truly "safe" place is the level governed by the Lord of the Level.
"Although not all level lords are kind, at least where there are level lords, there are rules."
The "rules" mentioned by Doros here refer more to "laws".
Just like the Moon Eye, it has no emotional preference for humans, entities or monsters, and treats them all equally. But if you live at its level and are willing to actively promote its name and devote your faith, then it will provide protection.
Even its believers have the opportunity to receive its generous blessings.
Take Dolos for example, he is a believer in Moon Eyes.
It is precisely because he is a believer that he prayed to Moon Eye to resurrect Luliana, and Moon Eye would respond. Otherwise, non-believers would not be able to attract Moon Eye's attention at all.
"Although I have to give my faith to Lord Yueyan, as long as I give my faith, I can live safely on the island in the Moonlight Sea." Dolos: "Moreover, the island also has fixed food refresh points, which can make life easier.
People here are not only safe but also have food and clothing without worries."
Anyway, in Doros' view, the dreamy moonlight sea is definitely a rare "safety layer" in a dark corner.
"What if you don't believe in it?" Angel asked.
Dolos: "If you don't believe in Lord Moon Eyes, it will be difficult for ordinary people to survive in the Moonlight Sea. You will be rejected by the ocean and you won't even be able to breathe if you enter the ocean."
Angel: "...?"
Isn’t it common sense that ordinary people can’t breathe underwater?
After explaining, Angel understood that it turned out that Moon Eye believers would receive the blessing of "oxygen factor" every day, so that they could go to the sea and explore freely.
Of course, the hallucinogenic side effects of the Oxygen Breathing Factor also exist, and their daily exploration time is also very short.
But at least they can still explore under the sea.
It is absolutely impossible for other non-believers to find the "oxygen factor" when they come here.
In addition, non-believers are dozens of times more likely to encounter storms or shipwrecks in the Moonlight Sea than believers. Also, if you attack a believer in the Moonlight Sea, you will also be punished by Lord Moon Eyes.
In short, it is difficult for non-believers to survive in the Moonlight Sea.
"Generally speaking, non-believers will quickly switch levels after coming to the Moonlight Sea and will not stay on this level for too long."
The so-called "switching levels" means going from this layer to other layers.
Mooneye generally won't be too harsh on visitors who have this kind of layer cutting. Layering in dark corners is a relatively common thing.
But if you don't cut the layers and stay in the Moonlight Sea for a long time, you will be judged by Lord Moon Eyes.
Dolos told Angel about this and sincerely suggested to Angel: "Sir, if you want to go from the Holy Eye Prayer Circle to the dark corner, then the final destination must be the Sea of Moonlight on the 265th floor."
"My personal suggestion is that if you want to stay on this level longer, you might as well believe in the great Lord Moon Eyes."
"Surmitting your faith will not affect anything. In addition to preaching the name of God and praying every day, Lord Yueyan will not have strict requirements on believers..."
Of course, if you take the initiative to propose a wish to Lord Yueyan, then you may have to pay some price. For example, after Dolos proposed to resurrect Luliana, he was arranged by Lord Yueyan to protect the Holy Eye and pray for gathering.
The responsibilities of the array...
Angel just smiled and didn't respond at all to Dolos's sincere suggestion.
At least Angel has no idea about believing in gods.
What's more, Moon Eye is not a god.
After concluding the exchange of information, Angel finally asked Dolos and Luliana about their future wishes.
Luliana said that she would continue to stay here to protect the Holy Eye Prayer Circle.
The guardianship responsibility is written in the core instructions and cannot be edited or changed, so no matter what, she will not leave the underwater church before the next guardian arrives.
On the other hand, Dolos, because he had separated from the "human-machine" body and no longer had to follow the core instructions, said he would go to the Modern City to see it later.
The main thing is to develop more believers.
"Your Excellency Yueyan promised at the beginning that as long as we try our best to fulfill the believers' demands and develop more believers, we will arrange guardians to replace us as soon as possible so that we can return to the dark corner."
Just replacing him wouldn't be enough to impress Doros.
What Dolos really cares about is "returning to the dark corner".
You must know that their current race tends to be "mechanical". Mechanical dolls have no body in the eyes of the dark corner and are inedible. For this reason, even if they stay near the Holy Eye Prayer Formation, they never
Watched from a dark corner.
And Lord Yueyan promised that they can "return to the dark corner", which means that they have a chance to regain their physical bodies.
Because only after obtaining the body, the dark angle will swallow them again.
Dolos doesn't care whether he can return to the Dark Corner, what he cares more about is...whether he can have a physical body.
In the past, Dolos didn't really long for the physical body too urgently, but today, he saw the "other side" of Luliana.
This made him feel something...a different kind of covetousness.
Maybe, he would have a chance to be with Luliana in "human" form?
Angel didn't know what Dolos was thinking. But Dolos said that he wanted to develop followers in Modern City in the future, and Angel strongly supported it.
After all, the more believers there are, the faster the Faith Beacon will generate crystal blocks.
This is also a good thing for yourself.
However, the Hidden Waters was already far away from the Modern City at this time, and Dolos would certainly not be able to leave at this time. He turned to look at Luliana, and there seemed to be endless words in his eyes.
Luliana actually had something she wanted to say to Dolos.
Especially, after their consciousnesses separated.
Luliana and Dolos went to the edge of the stage and whispered.
Angel stood in the middle of the stage and took out the faith crystal from his arms.
It's time to activate vignetting.
…
The method of using the faith crystal block is also very simple. Just place it in the center of the holy eye prayer circle and it can be activated directly.
The center of the array is the center of the stage.
Angel walked to the center of the stage with the faith crystal. The moment he took out the faith crystal, several rows of text quickly jumped out on the text column.
The first word that appeared was the message that the side mission had been completed.
"The side mission "Step into the dream and ask for the truth" has been completed."
"Do you want to receive the reward? Yes/No"
The goal of this side mission is to find a way to enter the dark corner. Now that Angel has placed the faith crystal where it should be placed, this mission has naturally been completed.
However, Angel did not receive the reward immediately. Instead, he moved his eyes downward and looked at the new words on the text column.
Unlike the previous text messages, the new rows of text messages were in normal colors at first, but the last row was in "blood red" fonts, which Angel had never seen before.
It also seems to indicate that this information is unusual.
"Do you want to activate the "Faith Crystal"? Yes/No"
"Note 1: After activating the faith crystal, all people in the holy eye prayer circle will be watched from a dark corner."
"Note 2: The Dark Corner has not yet been transformed into a fairyland. After entering it, you cannot return using normal methods! For details, please check the "Guide to Dark Corners"."
When Angel saw the front, he didn't feel anything yet.
When I saw Note 2, my whole person was instantly blinded.
The dark corner has not been transformed into fairyland yet?! This means that the dark corner is not a copy at this time?
Eh...what?!
Not a copy?!!
Angel's eyes widened. He was really stunned by these words.
He had checked "dark corners" in the Sea of Power before. At that time, the Sea of Power was in a special period. Although there was not much information that could be found, it was clearly stated that the dark corners were copies? Why did it suddenly change now?
Angel frowned and looked again.
"Not yet converted"?
Does it mean that the future can be transformed into a copy? A quasi-copy is also a copy?
Obviously there is only one short row of words for "Attention 2", but the more Angel looked at it, the more he couldn't understand it.
If it's not a copy, what is it? Is it possible or is it a reality?
"Realistically, it should be impossible..." Angel muttered to himself.
Also, Angel was a little surprised that he couldn't return by conventional methods after entering a dark corner.
When he saw that the "Faith Crystal Nugget" was a disposable item, he was a little confused. If it was a disposable item, how should he return after going there?
Angel didn't think deeply about it at the time, he just thought that the dark corner was a dungeon, and there was always a way to leave the dungeon. For example, completing the main quest or something...
No matter how bad it is, as a player who uses cheats, he should be able to forcefully leave the dark corner by other means, just like he forcibly left the Modern City dungeon.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now when he saw this typesetting, he felt an inexplicable chill: If the dark corner was not in the copy, but in reality, would his "plug-in" still be effective?
He seems to understand now why this text is marked in blood red.
Something is wrong...very wrong...
Angel now has a lot of doubts in his mind, but he doesn't care about it at this time, but looks at the last sentence of the note: "For details, please check the "Guide to Dark Corners"."
"Guide to Dark Corners" seems to be clickable.
However, after clicking on it, Angel only saw this line of words: "Complete the side mission "Step into the Dream and Ask for the Reality" to obtain the "Guide to Dark Corners"."
Well, he thought he could see the "Guide to Dark Corners" by just clicking on it, but it turned out that "Guide to Dark Corners" was a reward from the previous side mission, and he hadn't received it yet.
but,
The name of the side mission "Step into the fantasy and ask for the truth" seems to be alluding to something.
Is it "real"?
Angel thought for a while and decided to put away the "Belief Crystal" temporarily.
Before, he was eager to open the door to the dark corner and explore the dark corner. But now, he felt that he should be cautious when opening the door to the dark corner...
If the vignetting is really not a copy, then removing the vignetting is no joke.
With this idea in mind, Angel thought that he should temporarily put away the faith crystal, and then decide whether to step into the dark corner after thoroughly studying the "Guide to Dark Corners".
