Beckland, East End.

Not long after returning from the ice and snow world, Furth was wrapped in thick clothes, looking at the charcoal burning stove in front of him, as if he had fallen into that harsh environment again, and couldn't help but shake a few times:

"George III is dead, the previous thing is definitely over, maybe we can move out of here and go to the North End, to the Hillston.

"The house there has a fireplace!"

Hugh sat on the chair opposite, staring at the stove that radiated warmth, and replied with a slightly confused expression:

"Wait another week or two.

"Frankly, I still can't believe that George III was blown up...... I haven't had time to do anything yet. ”

The bounty hunter, who has become a "judge", has a clear sense of loss, confusion and confusion in his tone, as if he has lost his motivation in life all of a sudden.

Furth forgot the damage caused by the cold for a moment, and thought about relief:

"I think that this matter was not done by Gelman Sparrow, or by those who used Sherman before, only they are still investigating George III's secret schemes, and you can be regarded as making a certain contribution to George III's death, which is equivalent to indirectly completing revenge.

"Uh...... The surveillance and repression against your family should be gone, and you can try to start a new life, and if you have the opportunity, maybe you can appeal for your father through formal channels. ”

Hearing the latter part of the words, Hugh raised his head:

"Yes, the situation is getting more and more chaotic now, and I am worried that they will be affected by the war.

"Foreth, you say, is it safer in Beckland, or is it safer in an ordinary town not close to the border?"

Foirth thought seriously for a few seconds, then shook his head calmly:

"I don't know. ”

She then added:

"I'm going to ask Mr. 'World', he must have a more accurate grasp of the whole situation, do you remember? ”

In addition, Foirth also wanted to ask where the next stop of the "trip" was, so that he could prepare in advance.

"Hmm!" Hugh nodded instinctively.

Foirth flipped through the newspaper on his lap and drank the rest of his coffee, before slowly getting up and entering the inner room, whispering a prayer to Mr. "Fool" to convey his doubts to "The World" Gelman Sparrow.

............

Godforsaken Land, near the "Giant's Court".

Klein, who was no longer "parasitized" at a deep level, followed Amon along the foot of the mountain, in the frozen twilight, around the front of this mythical place.

Although Amon gave him the opportunity to escape by all means, he did not rush to do it, because he knew very well that Amon now had at least the personality and strength of Sequence 2, and was an angel in the true sense, not something he could contend with head-on, and moreover, the "thief" was known as a mistake, a loophole, and a bug, with strange and strange abilities, which made people unguardable, and Klein thought that the self-help methods he could normally think of were basically impossible to be effective.

You can only be patient and wait for the opportunities that are available...... In the process, he kept making some attempts to observe Amon's response...... Well, I have to pay attention to one more thing, I can't believe Amon's words too much, he may not be lying when he has taken back the 'Worm of Time' and lifted my "parasitic" state, but this may not be the whole truth, it is not ruled out that he still has a "Worm of Time" lurking in my body and may take over the body at a critical moment...... Klein's thoughts fluctuated, and he was about to "chat" with Amon and ask about the "dark angel" Sasriel, but he saw the dusk disappear not far away, the darkness was shrouded, and the lightning flashed in the air from time to time.

They have arrived at the borders of the "Court of the Giants" and are about to leave this mythical realm.

Once you're in the darkness here, you'll either evaporate out of thin air or be attacked by terrifying monsters that pop up out of nowhere...... Crane's heart moved, and he pretended not to understand anything, and just went on, from orange twilight to deep darkness.

At this moment, Amun, dressed in a black classical robe, a peaked soft hat, and a monocle, reached forward and pulled back a lantern covered with a thin animal skin.

Inside the lantern, a candle made of unknown grease emitted a dim glow and a slightly pungent smell.

"Pick it up. Amon threw the lantern to Klein.

...... Klein caught the lantern and was silent for a while.

After a few seconds, he asked tentatively:

"Where did you get this?"

At that moment just now, Klein thought that Amon could summon a projection from the hole in history.

Amon pinched the monocle carved from the crystal, and said with a smile:

"Stolen from that human camp in front, oh, that's the afternoon town camp in Silver City. ”

Stolen ...... Crane's eyelids jumped slightly, and without asking any more questions, he walked into the darkness with no end in sight.

The dim glow spread out like an invisible defensive barrier, creating a warm place in the dark night.

At this time, the lightning flashed in the sky one after another, and the interval was quite long, and the thunder was almost non-existent, and only occasionally there was a sound.

According to the common sense that Crane learned from the little "Sun", this is the night in the Godforsaken Lands, and it is the most dangerous time.

Step by step, Klein first used the qualitative transformation of the "Faceling" ability to match the "wriggling hunger" to adjust the eye structure to adapt to this special environment, and then, with the help of inspiration, looked around.

He felt that in the lightless darkness there were eyes that only looked at him, and creatures that were difficult to describe, but whenever the lightning flashed and shone through those places, there was nothing.

- Klein is not worried about using "creeping hunger" all the time, but he can't feed in the current environment, which will cause serious backlash, in his opinion, there are only two results, one is that "wriggling hunger" tries to swallow himself, but Amon steals the idea, and the other is that "wriggling hunger" successfully devours the wearer, so that he can be reborn and get rid of the current predicament, the latter is what Klein expects, and the former will be more confused except for "wriggling hunger", and there is nothing to lose.

After walking like this for a while, Crane saw the afternoon town camp in Silver City, which had been built from abandoned buildings.

Behind the walls of boulders and pillars, bonfires burned silently, illuminating most of the interior and making them very different from the outside world.

Under the illumination of this light, the members of the Silver City exploration team were either patrolling or guarding to prevent accidents.

Among them, a "Knight of Dawn", who is nearly two meters tall, is standing on top of the barrier, looking into the distance, guarding against monsters hiding in the darkness.

Suddenly, he saw a dim light coming from a distance in the depths of darkness.

This...... The "Knight of Dawn"'s pupils dilated, and his heart beat sharply.

Except for the newborn and uneducated children, everyone in Silver City knows that in this land abandoned by the gods, except for humans, no one will use fire in the dark to create light, even if the monsters who are good at controlling the flames, before launching an attack, they are lurking in the lightless environment, as for other humans, all the city-states found in Silver City so far have long been destroyed and become ruins, there are no survivors, and the only outsider they have seen is the strange child Jack.

And at this moment, there was a fire in the depths of the darkness, a fire that kept moving!

What this meant, the "Dawn Knight" standing on the barrier couldn't think of it for a while, and he felt that his body was trembling slightly.

The dim light of the fire slowly passed in front of the camp from far and near, towards the outside of the afternoon town, and faintly, the "Dawn Knight" saw two human figures, walking in the depths of darkness, illuminated by the light very dimly.

Carrying what looked like a lantern, they walked away from the camp step by step, disappearing into the endless darkness.

The "Knights of Dawn" on top of the ramparts held their breath for some time until the dim light of the fire was completely gone.

Is there any other human? no, not necessarily human! The "Dawn Knight" shrank his eyes and turned his body carefully, ready to inform the elders of the "Council of Six" who were presiding over the camp.

At this time, he noticed that the lanterns hanging from the stone pillars were missing at some point.

The "Knight of Dawn" stiffened, and cold sweat broke out on the back of his forehead.

............

As he walked away from Afternoon Town, Crane endured the gaze of a pair of eyes in the depths of the darkness, quietly using the abilities of the "Ancient Scholar" and his connection to the "Source Castle" to sense the gray and white fog of history intertwined.

He did it.

This proves that the Forsaken Lands are not separated from the Source Keep.

The sanctuary of the "true Creator," and even the kingdom of God, is on this earth...... If I induce the "Source Fortress" and create an anomaly, will it cause Him to cast his gaze and clash with Amun...... He is the true God, and I don't expect to escape from the chaos, but I can take advantage of His opportunity to deal with Amun and commit suicide...... As soon as Klein's thought moved, he wanted to make "Source Fort" tremble slightly.

In the next second, his thought vanished.

The corners of Amon's mouth, who was walking next to him, curled slightly:

"The Hanged Man has little interest in the Source Castle, and of course, his sanity may not always be in his head. ”

"'Hanged man' refers to the sequence 0 of the 'shepherd' path?" Klein himself did not expect the impulse just now to really succeed, mainly to test Amon's reaction and see how he responded, at this time there was no frustration, and he asked the question without hiding his curiosity.

Amon nodded slightly:

Yes, it symbolizes the depravity of nature, and of course, if you want to explain it in a positive sense, it is sacrifice and commitment. ”

Klein thought for a moment and said tentatively:

"I thought it was your nickname. ”

Just like Medici.

- As far as Klein knows, the birth of the "True Creator" from the "Rose of Redemption" is likely related to the fall of the ancient sun god, so he wonders what kind of attitude Amon has towards this evil god, and whether he is the same as his brother.

Amon stroked his monocle and said with a smile:

"I've always had a lot of respect for the gods. ”

What a disobedience it is for the "blasphemer" to say this...... Klein reluctantly stopped the conversation.
