Chapter 1107 - Investigation by the Other Party (2/2)

“… Big Brother, about the earlier matter, I’ve reached a conclusion with Gillian.”

While Rhode was complaining, the voice of his younger sister rang in his head.

“Oh?”

Rhode was surprised. After they returned to Grandia earlier on, he had gotten Gillian to work with his younger sister to investigate the issues of Canary’s and Mini Bubble Gum’s ‘Phantom Guardian System’ as to why their mastery levels dropped. Besides, after observing them for a while, it didn’t seem like a curse was the cause and this became out of his scope. Thereafter, he left the matter to Gillian and his younger sister decisively. After all, it was always the developers and GMs who had to deal with bugs in the system.

“What conclusion?”

“Gillian and I have investigated the level of Order in the continent. Everything is normal including the plane of existence in the underworld. But according to our data, something seems to be wrong with Sister Canary’s and Bubble’s bodies during this period. How should I put it… yes, it is as though they have similar data, but due to some unidentified reasons the data is misaligned. Even though the data is repaired quickly, a problem occurred in the system during the repair process and the system can’t find the point of difference in their similar data. This led to a portion of data being misled, causing their mastery level to fall.”

“I see.”

After hearing his younger sister’s explanation, Rhode pondered for a moment and finally understood what she meant. It was as though one were playing an online game and using one account to create two characters of the same name, gender, and class on servers A and B. Then, the character in server A had maxed-out level and equipment, while in server B, the character was neglected as it was only a weak sub-account. But due to some system error, the character information in server A and B overlapped. As a result, even after the servers were repaired, some of the equipment, skills, and money from server A were transferred to server B as it was essentially the same account. Of course, such an issue usually appeared in low-quality online games. But for a game like the Dragon Soul Continent… there shouldn’t be this issue, should it?

“Have you found out the reason?”

“It seems like an external force is attempting to connect… just like how one is trying to enter the server. Gillian and I have been searching for the source. Big Brother, be careful. I think Her Highness Erin’s disappearance is unusual…”

“Yes…”

Rhode nodded at his younger sister’s reminder. He also agreed that something seemed to be amiss, which was why he treated it importantly. After all, Order in the Dragon Soul Continent had basically merged with the original system data of the game already. To put it simply, the current Dragon Soul Continent was like a world in The Matrix, supported externally by various data and restructured into a whole new world. In this aspect, Rhode was rather meticulous about it.

“Pardon my rudeness, Your Majesty Rhode.”

While Rhode was pondering, Gaya lifted the entrance curtain and entered the tent. She gazed at Rhode and greeted him.

“Her Highness Lydia discovered some clues regarding Her Highness Erin’s disappearance.”

“Oh?”

Rhode twitched his brows.

“Bring me there.”
