Chapter 141: The Secret of Sky Floating Island

"Nyarlathotep's specially crafted small card seals a spell cast by Nyarlathotep. As for the specific nature of the spell, Nyarlathotep himself is not entirely sure. It could be a summoning of Byakhee, or perhaps a world-destroying spell. However, using this specially crafted Nyarlathotep card will result in a permanent loss of two MP."

After reading the introduction of the black card in his hand, Liu Xing had only one thought - this is a good deal.

This black card is like a super deluxe version of a lottery machine. After all, Nyarlathotep is one of the most powerful deities in the Cthulhu Mythos, capable of using the vast majority of magic within it.

However, as Liu Xing thought, most of the magic in the Cthulhu Mythos is tricky, like the "Contact Earth-boring Demon Worm" spell, which is a kill-and-bury type of magic. According to Liu Xing's understanding of Nyarlathotep's character, the spell sealed by Nyarlathotep is likely to be of this kind.

Thinking this way, Liu Xing decided to treat this black card with the same care as the candies given by K.

"Alright, everyone, you can now bring up your concerns or leave if you have none. I mean, if you have any questions, you can ask me now. If there are no issues, I can send you off Sky Floating Island," Aughra said with a smile.

As soon as Aughra finished speaking, Zhu Yan Yu and He Wei spoke in unison, "I have no questions, Mr. Aughra."

After a brief exchange, Liu Xing understood that Zhu Yan Yu and He Wei were cautious individuals.

Pei Si, after pondering for a moment, also spoke, "Mr. Aughra, I have no questions now."

Aughra nodded, and the three of Zhu Yan Yu instantly disappeared.

"Alright, for the remaining individuals, each of you can ask one question, but it must be related to Sky Floating Island," Aughra said with a smile.

Ai Mei nodded and took the lead, "Mr. Aughra, I want to know the clearance conditions for this scenario. Besides obtaining enough diamonds and surviving until the last person, are there any hidden clearance methods?"

"Of course, considering you all already know how difficult it is to obtain the five diamonds in Blood Howl Town, you can imagine how challenging it is in the other four regions. In each area, I have arranged at least two hidden clearance methods. For example, you should have already guessed one hidden clearance method, which is to repair the magic array in the center of the church, then sacrifice an offering to randomly allow a player to clear the scenario. And the sacrifice can be of any type, whether human or various mythical creatures," Aughra explained in detail.

Ai Mei nodded and then disappeared directly.

Obviously, the person who asks the last question will receive more information. So Liu Xing and Ji Wu looked at each other, neither wanting to ask first.

However, the deadlock was soon broken.

"Alright, the next one will be Ji Wu," Aughra directly named.

Ji Wu sighed and spoke, "Mr. Aughra, I want to know if, according to the original scenario of Sky Floating Island, I have the opportunity to acquire spells?"

Liu Xing understood that Ji Wu was referring to spells but actually meant acquiring a spellbook. After all, most spells available to players are recorded in spellbooks, albeit often incomplete.

As an Occultist, Ji Wu's goal was naturally to find a way to advance to become a Wizard. After all, Wizards and Occultists are two distinct concepts—the former capable, and the latter not so much.

To advance from an Occultist to a Wizard, or for any class to become a Wizard, the first step is to obtain a spellbook. For example, Liu Xing acquired the "Mysterious Lord's Seven Chapters Secret Scripture" in the previous scenario. Despite appearing to be a miscellaneous book containing various legendary stories, it fundamentally falls under the category of a spellbook. Unfortunately, Liu Xing only obtained a fragment; otherwise, he could have become a Wizard during the Interlude Growth.

"As for spellbooks, there are indeed some on Sky Floating Island, and not just one. However, with your current strength, it's basically impossible to obtain these spellbooks, unless you receive the favor of the Dice Maiden and achieve ten consecutive critical successes. And if you miss a critical success even once, then it's game over for you," Aughra shrugged, smiling.

Ji Wu nodded thoughtfully and then disappeared.

"Alright, now it's just you, Liu Xing. Feel free to ask any questions," Aughra said with a delighted expression.

Liu Xing chuckled, but inside, he started to feel a bit uneasy. After all, he was alone in a room with an outer god.

"So, Mr. Aughra, what I want to know now is the essence of this Sky Floating Island?" Liu Xing took a deep breath and asked.

"Interesting," Aughra looked at Liu Xing, smiling without speaking.

Liu Xing chuckled, knowing he had asked a rather foolish question, one that might lead him into a dangerous situation.

After what seemed like a long time, Aughra chuckled and said, "I can actually answer your question, but only to a small extent."

"This Sky Floating Island is actually similar to the Mirror World you visited before. According to your human terms, Sky Floating Island and the Mirror World are still in the testing phase. So, we divided Sky Floating Island's mission into thousands of scenarios with varying difficulties. These were then assigned to players in different regions for testing. For example, the scenario you are currently in is considered one of the simplest missions on Sky Floating Island."

"By the way, the actual area of Sky Floating Island has reached nine million square kilometers, divided into over a thousand regions. If you're lucky enough to survive until then, maybe you'll have the chance to enter the real Sky Floating Island. If you can still see me by then, I'll be happy to offer you some help," Aughra said with a smile.

After listening to Aughra's explanation, Liu Xing was utterly bewildered. He hadn't expected Aughra to be so straightforward, revealing the secrets of Sky Floating Island directly.
