It was dark inside the lighthouse. Chu Nan quickly lit the torch and took a look around. There were no monsters! He breathed a sigh of relief.
It was empty, very humid, and there was a faint smell of mold. You could also see a few fat mice in the corner looking at Chu Nan timidly, as if if Chu Nan made another move, they would be there.
Ready to run.
At the innermost end of the lighthouse, there was a stone staircase that stretched upward along the surrounding stone walls. Chu Nan held the torch and walked up very carefully step by step.
After walking up a dozen stairs, I found that there was no danger, so I quickened my pace.
At the end of the spiral stone staircase was an iron cover. Chu Nan forcefully pried the cover upwards a little, and looked inside with a pair of sneaky eyes. Unfortunately, it was dark inside.
, and couldn't see anything at all. So Chu Nan could only give up, quickly push the lid upwards, completely lift it, and then lift the torch upwards.
Unexpectedly, the first thing that caught Chu Nan's eyes was not a monster or something else, but a thick layer of dust. The iron cover seemed to have not been opened for many years. When it was opened,
A large amount of dust was thrown up.
Chu Nan fanned the dust in front of him with his other hand, and then looked inside by the light of the torch.
It seemed to be a stone room, very empty, with nothing. There was a simple wooden table, a wooden bench, and a wooden bed opposite, but it looked like it had been gathering dust for a long time.
At first glance, it is obvious that this place cannot be inhabited by anyone. If someone were inhabited, it would be impossible for there to be so much dust. But... if no one is there, who lit the fire on the lighthouse?
With this curiosity, Chu Nan crawled into the stone room. Almost every step Chu Nan took, a puff of ash would rise from the ground.
"I can't even remember how many years it's been since anyone has stepped onto this lighthouse..."
At this time, an eerie voice suddenly came from behind Chu Nan. He quickly looked back and saw an old man in black standing straight in front of him out of thin air. No... not standing! Yes.
Floating...under the long black clothes, there are no feet.
Chu Nan's face was a little pale, and he took a few steps back. However, the old man in black was even paler than him, frighteningly white, like a ghost. Chu Nan looked at the empty black clothes wrapped around him.
Like a vacuum.
The lighthouse night watchman is an NPC, not a monster!
Chu Nan felt relieved and asked the lighthouse night watchman: "Who are you?"
"I am the night watchman of this lighthouse."
Nonsense! Chu Nan cursed secretly in his stomach. With such a big name written on his head, of course he knew that he was the night watchman of this lighthouse.
Before Chu Nan could continue to ask, the lighthouse night watchman said proactively: "It's a miracle that you weren't killed by those Red Skull pirates."
Red Skull Pirates? When Chu Nan heard this name, he thought it sounded a bit familiar. He opened the mission log and took a look. Wasn’t the lost sword snatched away by the Red Skull Pirates? He was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that he was right to ignore this mission.
Yes, today I accidentally found a clue here. So Chu Nan immediately asked: "Then do you know where the ship of the Red Skull Pirates sank?"
"It turns out that you know quite a lot, and you actually know what happened to the Red Skull Pirates back then." The lighthouse night watchman chuckled, recalled it, and continued, "Back then, the Red Skull Pirates' ship was sunk in a place called the East China Sea.
However, the Red Skull Pirates are a group of immortal and cursed pirates. Even if the ship is sunk, they will continue to drag their broken ship around aimlessly on the seabed.
As for where you are now...don't you already know?"
Ah? Chu Nan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood. Could it be that this ship is in Biting Bay?
"But why don't they dare to get close to this lighthouse?"
"The fire burning on this lighthouse is a holy fire that drives away evil. Of course they can't get close. Biting Bay is an evil place. Young man, you'd better leave as soon as possible after dawn tomorrow..." The lighthouse night watchman
After saying the last word, he floated to the wall. A small circular window was opened on the stone wall there. He just looked out the window quietly at the night, no longer paying attention to Chu Nan, his eyes seemed to be waiting.
As if holding something.
"Um...holy fire?" Chu Nan looked at the room carefully again, only to find that there was a wooden ladder behind the lid he had just opened. When he came up, his back was to it, but he didn't even see it. Now,
It seemed that it should lead to the upper level, so Chu Nan continued to climb up the wooden ladder.
Once you go up to the top of the lighthouse, you can see that the fire on the central platform is burning brightly under the blowing sea breeze.
Chu Nan ran to the edge guardrail of the lighthouse and looked down. He saw that except for the 20 meters or so near the lighthouse, everything outside was shrouded in thick fog. In the thick fog, pairs of eyes flashed with dark red light.
Staring at the lighthouse with eager eyes.
"Fortunately, I ran fast!" Chu Nan sighed with luck in his heart. There were at least hundreds of skeletons down there.
At this time, Chu Nan suddenly looked towards the sea to the north, because he saw two hazy lights approaching little by little in the gentle sea mist.
"Damn it! It's not coming at any time, but it's coming at this time!" Chu Nan cursed secretly, those two lights were exactly the lights on the two fishing boats.
If those fishermen and farmers came to fish at this time, wouldn't they die if they encountered those Red Skull pirates?
Originally, the NPC's death had nothing to do with Chu Nan, but if Cuihua and Erniu were to hang up here, wouldn't this mission be aborted? Girl, this is to find evidence of cheating, not to kill the black-haired man.
Take it back!
Chu Nan couldn't help but feel anxious for the people on the two fishing boats. He immediately rushed back to the stone room on the next floor and asked the lighthouse night watchman how to repel the red skull pirates. Little did he know that the lighthouse night watchman
Without saying a word, he continued to cast his gaze towards the dark sea in the distance.
In desperation, Chu Nan could only climb to the top of the lighthouse again, but just when he was about to go up the wooden ladder, suddenly, a clear singing voice came from outside, melodious and beautiful, like the sound of nature.
Chu Nan moved slightly, isn't that the legendary mermaid?!
"Fuck your sister, is this thing coming out at this time?" Chu Nan couldn't help but feel that it was weird. All three five-star difficulty mission elements were present at the same time!
Logically speaking, Chu Nan should be happy, but unfortunately he was not in the slightest bit excited at the moment.
