Ed, who had reconnected to Bluetooth, quickly learned the results of the three players' conversation with the gray-robed old man.
Overall, the alliance reached by both sides did not exceed Ed's previous plan. Now, many players have started playing "Dew Valley" in the World of Disorder. Food and other necessities are only a matter of time. As for technology, their own Root Network and Aberration plants are just that unreasonable. In such a world, a faction cannot survive at all without being ruthless.
Seeing that everything was developing in a positive direction, Ed began to refine his next steps.
Meanwhile, the three messengers in the Graycast Corridor left the "core" of the Great Labyrinth City, led by guards.
The three belatedly realized that their bodies had been in the Great Labyrinth City for twenty-four hours, yet they had not eaten anything.
Fortunately, the "cocoon" item gave them a boost of energy when they logged off earlier, otherwise they really don't know if they would have the strength to walk now.
With that in mind, the three began to look around and soon found a local restaurant in the Graycast Corridor.
The three quickly understood why the Graycast Corridor wanted to import grain...
"This bread, oh my, it tastes absolutely amazing!"
"No way, he dares to charge me a single silver coin for this dish? I'm going to kill someone!"
"Damn it, I think I've turned into Oliver, ugh, ugh!"
"Why does this vegetable leaf taste like engine oil?"
Tell your dad what you added when you cooked the dish.
As dishes comparable in horror to Oliver's last meal were served, the three began to act as restaurant review hosts.
However, the food review hosts quickly turned into heavy-tasting food reviewers amidst repeated gagging, and the three of them, who had deliberately activated their sense of taste, almost transformed into Incarnation warriors on the spot.
The commotion quickly attracted the restaurant owner, who stood beside their table and asked earnestly:
"You're not locals from Graycast Corridor, are you? How did you like the food? Was it good?"
[ The Shit Appraisal Master ] silently turned off the automatic translation function, gave the boss in front of him a thumbs up, and said in another world's language:
"If you keep cooking like this, I'll have someone take care of you."
Seeing the guests' enthusiastic faces, the owner left the three of them with satisfaction.
Remembering their status as envoys, the three of them briefly tasted the food before shutting down their sense of taste. They then activated their translator and began to insincerely praise the dishes before them.
As a qualified envoy, it is extremely important to maintain the dignity of both sides.
It was just a pity for this half-dragon, [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes's ], who had to be careful not to accidentally breathe out small flames Ignite the things around him while gagging.
The three, whose bodies were churning, quickly returned to their resting place and continued their mission.
The meeting with Grand Foundry Master was merely to finalize the specific direction of the cooperation; the details regarding the terms and amount would be discussed later with the professionals at Graycast Corridor.
On the other hand, the three also began sharing their travel logs with other players on the forum. Since arriving in the Great Labyrinth City, they have already posted three joint updates.
"When you're out of work, come to the Prosthetics Street," "How to Torture an Interrogator in Prison," "A Cook Gets His Legs Broken by a Customer Just for Doing This."
The three blog posts have recorded the three people's experiences in great detail, but the most discussed topic is not these three blog posts, but a short post with a few pixelated pictures attached:
The true faces of those Grand Foundry Master have been revealed.
Although the post was titled "True Face Revealed," every image in it was heavily blurred, making it impossible for players to see the gray-robed old man's true face even with tools to fix it.
The description in [ Shit Appraisal Master ] is very clear: the Grand Foundry Master is a tall, thin, workaholic old man wearing a gray robe and in a normal mental state.
As for why the image is blurred... that wasn't their intention. It's possible that the developers want to further optimize the modeling and AI's intelligence in this area.
This naturally sparked a lot of discussion, and the comment section of this post has now become a battleground for everyone to exchange opinions:
"You three are definitely hoarding this! Hand over the high-resolution photo of the handsome old man!"
"To be honest, the authorities never do this kind of thing, right? If they really wanted to hide it, you wouldn't have even seen the Grand Foundry Master."
"I agree with the comment above; there's no such thing as 'blurring' in map exploration."
"I think it might be a problem with the Grand Foundry Master. Maybe he's carrying radiation, and anyone who gets close to him will have their screen malfunction."
"That makes sense. Maybe this is his ability. Is the official team giving us a sneak peek at his skills?"
"No way, does this mean we're going to...?"
"I am about to fight the Grand Foundry Master to the death!"
"Excuse me, what level are you, buddy?"
Level 4.
"Then you should fight the dogs under the general's ordinary bodyguard captain, the privates under the general of the Grand Foundry Master first."
"..."
At this moment, Ed was also secretly watching the screen. To be fair, this was not some kind of spoiler, preview, or Easter egg that he, as the official, had created. The domain of the Grand Foundry Master leans towards mechanics and Psionic Energy, and the combination of the two can indeed create many ways of using power that he had never seen before.
Ed also received confirmation of this from Willow. The lich meant that Psionic Energy is the power that connects and changes all things in the world. Therefore, even their race, which is composed of pure Psionic Energy, dares not say that they fully understand and master Psionic Energy. Every powerful being has their own way of using Psionic Energy, which is normal and reasonable.
Ed naturally agreed with this statement, but the direction in which the power of the Grand Foundry Master manifested itself differed somewhat from what he had imagined.
He had thought that the Grand Foundry Master could bring the Great Labyrinth City back to life...
As the discussion grew, [ Shit Appraisal Master ]'s post undeniably topped the forum's trending topics list, far surpassing other trending information.
As for the unlucky player who opened a hidden blind box featuring the Fallen Holy Crusaders, led by Motley, in an easy Dungeon, it didn't seem to attract much attention.
Looking out the window at the gradually darkening sky, Ed knew he was about to witness the first snowfall of this World of Disorder.
The magnificent palace decorations, as always, reflected the afterglow of the setting sun. A red carpet was spread out before the knight, whose armor was now covered with an outer garment unique to war heroes.
Many things in the Eternal Domain are constant and unchanging, such as the sunset at this moment, and the audience process at this moment.
Xilǐ'er walked through the solemn atmosphere, and the guards around him revealed a hint of envy in their eyes.
