I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 388 - 244: Qina Island, Stone of Qina

After reaching this conclusion.

Rogel chose to engage in automatic exploration.

There’s no choice; based on the earlier situation, the exploration within the [Lamp of the Dying] likely has many branches, and he needs to make numerous attempts.

Automatic exploration would be much more convenient.

This time, Rogel loaded the save again, choosing to stay put and see if any other opportunity might appear.

[In the Detention Room, you refused the request of Dao Mai to leave and chose to remain in place, intending to prove through your actions that your choice is absolutely correct.]

[You experienced a long wait in the Detention Room.]

[The sounds of slaughter outside grew closer, and amidst them were some voices you recognize.]

[You felt conflicted and involuntarily started a prayer to alleviate your inner emotions.]

Familiar voices?

Faced with this, Rogel instinctively pondered.

Judging from this information, is Sela acquainted with the "fortress" power outside the Detention Room?

Yet she herself is a believer of the "Tooth Spirit."

So, is she choosing to remain in place to prove something to the people inside the "fortress"?

This is likely the reason for her complex emotions...

This is what Rogel speculated.

Of course, the information was insufficient. Blindly judging from this tiny bit of information is certainly not advisable; further exploration is necessary.

[During the wait, a loud noise and immense vibration caught your attention, causing stone chips to fly around the Detention Room, and a bright light appeared before you.]

[A crack appeared in the Detention Room.]

[Through the crack, you saw a furry figure emerge from the rubble, rise again, and reenter combat.]

[You thought back to the fact that this was "Elephant," the strongest warrior on Qina Island and your childhood best friend, now engaged in a fierce battle with the Tooth Spirit Knights, covered in scars.]

[You closed your eyes, unwilling to witness all this.]

[Despite how painful this made you feel, you remain steadfast, believing this might be an unavoidable bloody sacrifice on the path towards Qina Island’s brighter future.]

[Exploration progress: 10%]

Good, now a lot of information has appeared.

Rogel understood.

Now he could basically ascertain the simple situation.

Firstly, the "Sela" he was controlling should belong to the "Qina" forces, but for unknown reasons, she turned to an opposing faction—the Tooth Spirit.

So, what is she trying to prove?

Proving some doctrine of the Tooth Spirit is correct? Able to lead Qina towards light?

Rogel looked towards the two options presented earlier.

[Step through the crack/Stay put]

Upon seeing these two options, Rogel didn’t hesitate, saving the game and choosing the first option.

[Upon stepping through the crack, you saw a very fierce war.]

[Tooth Spirit Knights and Believers joined forces to fight against Qina Island’s warriors, blood and screams almost covering the entire fortress.]

[Although Qina Island’s warriors received blessings from the Stone of Qina, transforming into Wolf Beasts to gain powerful strength, they were too few in number, not opponents for the Tooth Spirit Knights and Believers, and began retreating step by step.]

[Steadfastly, you moved towards the center of the fortress.]

[You’ve always wanted to see what happened to the Stone of Qina.]

[Why has the island witnessed such brutal "living sacrifices"?]

[Now, with the fortress empty, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.]

[Carefully avoiding those involved in the war, you reached the fortress.]

[There were scarcely any people at the front of the fortress now, allowing you to quickly enter, ascend the stairs, and arrive in front of the room where the Stone of Qina was located.]

[However, a person was seated in front of the room.]

[Summon Wolf Spirit/Approach to negotiate]

No need for extra words, after saving the game, Rogel decisively selected the first option.

[Attack/Flee]

Unexpectedly, the first option also had a branch.

Faced with this, Rogel shrugged and chose to attack.

Anyway, he was determined to try slowly.

Then, what happened next was unsurprising.

[Upon seeing the Wolf Spirit attacking, the person calmly stood up, using their large, agile body to crush the Wolf Spirit directly.]

[Simultaneously, they noticed you.]

[However, they didn’t attack you, simply sitting back down again.]

Now, only one option remains—[Approach to negotiate].

[Violence proving fruitless, you choose to approach and negotiate.]

[You’ve never met this person, but he appears somewhat unintelligent.]

[You talked to him, but he only stared at you, not saying a word.]

[It seems he’s not going to let you pass.]

[Perhaps you should retrace your steps.]

Rogel scratched his head, choosing to reload the game, while he couldn’t help but think.

Could it be because I summoned the Wolf Spirit to attack him, causing him to refuse to speak?

Then try letting the Wolf Spirit flee, and maybe it’ll divert his attention.

[The Wolf Spirit dashed past him.]

[He stood up and went to pursue the Wolf Spirit.]

[Taking advantage of this, you entered the room.]

Got in!

Looks like the weak Wolf Spirit can only serve to lure the enemy away, utterly useless in combat.

[The room is spacious, with an altar constructed from polished sturdy stones.]

[In the center of the altar, a semi-transparent prism crystal floats in mid-air.]

[A conspicuous crack runs across its surface.]

[Exploration progress: 20%]

[This should be the Stone of Qina from which all Qina Island warriors derive their power.]

[And next to the Stone of Qina were several books whose contents are unknown.]

[Touch the Stone of Qina/Read the books]

Rogel wasn’t concerned with the details; after all, he had to try each option, and he immediately chose to touch the Stone of Qina.
