Chapter 70: A "Curtain" (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)
"God, God has come to save us......"
The crying words echoed at the entrance of Moon City, and the residents who were waiting listened to it were in a trance and shocked.
............
The edge of the solidified gray mist, beside the quietly burning fire.
Crane, who had eaten another round of mushrooms, eliminated the iron-black long stick in his hand and looked up in the direction of the pit described by Nim, the high priest of Moonlight City.
He then reached out his right hand and dragged out his self a quarter of an hour ago.
After glancing at each other, Klein's body quickly disappeared, entering the fog of history, rushing to the front of the First Age, sitting on top of the layers of the old city.
His historical pore image stood up, snapped his fingers, and flashed towards his destination in the rising stream of crimson flames.
When the crater that the hill had turned into was close at hand, Crane stopped, cautiously stretched out his right palm, and dragged his former secret mate Chunas Korg out of the void.
The tough-guy "Fallen Count" squirmed as his facial muscles quickly transformed into another Gelman Sparrow.
He took out a horse lantern from the fog of history with one hand, rubbed the corners of his forehead with the other, and muttered in a low voice:
"Why does the secret puppet have to change his appearance?
"There's no one else here......
"Can't develop OCD ......"
A few seconds later, the puppet projection carried a lantern that emitted a dim yellow light, and walked step by step towards the deep pit not far away.
As the light floated, Crane saw the target location clearly, and found that it was not really deep, the difference between the bottom and the ground was no more than two meters, and of course, if compared with the original hill, this change was indeed large enough.
Inside the "pit", the soil is smooth, with a few stones sandwiched, and there are many mutated and twisted indistinguishable varieties of plants growing around it, which does not look much different from other places.
After observing for a while, Klein, who had quietly turned on the vision of "Spiritual Vision" and "Spiritual Thread", slowly entered the "deep pit", preparing to follow the planned route and go around every place worthy of re-examination.
As he walked, his brows furrowed slightly, and he let out a "huh".
He found that his thoughts were turning with a certain stagnation, but it didn't affect his thinking!
It's like sleeping too much, when you just wake up, your head is stuffy, and your mind is not active enough.
This is a situation that occurs occasionally in a person, and extraordinary people in other ways may not be able to detect it, but as a demigod of the "soothsayer" path, Crane can clearly feel the abnormality.
If it deepens further, it will be close to the reaction brought about by the "secret puppet master" manipulation of the "spirit thread...... The influence left by the dark demon wolf Kotal?No, if it was left behind by him, it means that he took on a complete mythical creature form at that time, and the investigation team of Moon City had already collapsed and lost control one by one...... If he wanted to stay, what was the point of doing so? Tell someone he'd been there? Crane walked around in confusion, not finding anything else out of the ordinary.
After thinking about it, he hid in the main body in a historical hole before the First Age, walked four steps backwards, recited a mantra, and entered the gray mist.
He's going to do a "divination"!
With the specific time and place, the description and field investigation of Nim, the high priest of Moon City, and the help of the lighted historical fragments, Klein believed that the prerequisites for "divination" were basically in place.
This can't be said to be enough, but it can barely be given him a try, and if the incident of the hill turning into a "deep pit" is really related to the "Source Fort" and himself, then the probability of success of "divination" will be greatly increased, and the revelation will be very clear and undisturbed.
Without thinking, Klein, who had already considered the details, sat down on the high-backed chair of the "Fool", and with a dark red round-bellied pen and yellowish parchment, he wrote:
"On June 28, 1349 of the Fifth Age, there was a change in this place. ”
Putting down the absorbent fountain pen, Crane grabbed it with his left hand and took out the "deep pit" soil from the fog of history, using it as a medium for "divination".
Holding the clay in one hand and the parchment in the other, he leaned back in his chair, whispered the divination seven times, and then, with the help of meditation, fell into a deep sleep.
In the gray dream world, Crane saw the gray and solidified mist, the hills tens of meters high, and the twisted and mutated plants around him.
A few seconds later, the mist suddenly wriggled significantly, and a black shadow quickly "spit out".
The black shadow was like a huge velvet curtain, frantically absorbing all the light around it.
It became larger and larger in a translucent state, completely enveloping the hill.
The hill then disappeared, and the roots were gone, leaving only a "deep pit".
The strange plants at the edge of the "deep pit" that were also covered suddenly had thin black illusory "spirit lines", which extended to different sections of the black "curtain".
The "curtain" became more and more transparent, more and more illusory, and finally reached the point where it was impossible to see with the naked eye—if it were not for the "spirit thread" to reveal the actual situation, Klein would not have found that the "curtain" was covering the surface of the "deep pit" like that.
The picture flickered, the dream distorted, and a new scene emerged.
The five-member Moon City patrol approached this side and found that the hill was missing, and there was a "deep pit".
They stopped, turned around and left the area without hesitation, and stepped forward to investigate without recklessness.
I don't know how long it took, but in the other direction, a huge figure suddenly appeared.
It was a demon wolf covered with dark short hair, eight legs, and four or five meters tall.
This demon wolf has a pinch of gray short hair on its forehead, and its pure black pupils occupy at least three-quarters of the space of its eyes, and it is none other than Kotal, the dark demon wolf who has not manifested its full mythical creature form.
The Ebony Demon Wolf raised its head, opened its mouth, and seemed to roar, but it didn't make any noise.
The next second, there was an additional figure in front of Him, and it was another Him.
The eight legs of this dark demon wolf kicked lightly, and they arrived at the "deep pit" in an instant.
He looked around, then cautiously lowered his head and lifted the completely transparent "curtain" that made the entire hill disappear.
The "curtain" suddenly came to life, shrank rapidly, rolled upside down, and wrapped around the dark demon wolf, as if adding a half-black and translucent garment to him.
The dark demon wolf trembled slightly, and it seemed that it had become a puppet of "clothes" in two or three seconds.
But this is only an image in the pores of history, and the next breath is lifted and maintained by the body, and it disappears directly.
The "curtain" lost its support, collapsed in an instant, and spread out on the ground.
The dark wolf Kotal did not give up, sometimes transforming the monsters around him into puppets, sometimes summoning historical projections, making them come forward again and again, suffering all kinds of failures, but in the end, his new batch of puppets still picked up and controlled the "curtain".
The whole process did not make a single sound, as if it were performing a mime.
Then, the huge demon wolf brought the puppets close to him with the "curtain".
At this moment, the nearby gray-white mist wriggled again, forming a vortex comparable to that of a hill.
The vortex emitted an invisible suction, allowing the strange "curtain" and the dark demon wolf Kotal to throw at the same time!
Such a scene caused Crane's dream picture to appear in a series of substantial ripples, bursting into countless points of light, making it difficult for him to see the specific details.
When everything was back to normal, Kotal, the dark wolf, draped in a transparent "curtain", and sped away from the re-solidified mist.
At this time, the Moon City investigation team arrived and saw the figure of this ancient god who had gone away.
Kotal glanced at them, but disappeared into the darkness without pause.
At this point, the picture shatters, the dream ends, and Klein wakes up.
He sat up straight, his fingers tapping the edge of the long mottled table, and muttered to himself silently:
"That solidified gray mist wasn't unmutated before I arrived, but the guards of Moon City didn't notice it, after all, this fog has been going on for an unknown amount of time......
"What is that 'curtain' that gray mist spits out? When it is large, it can cover the hill and make it magically become a 'pit', and when it is small, it can become the 'clothing' of the demon wolf, turning it into a puppet...... It's kind of like a high-level item in the 'Fortune Teller' path......
"It's being spit out because I went above the gray mist and finished binding to the 'Source Fort'?
"It seems to be able to turn the plants around it into its own secret puppet...... It gives me a sense of familiarity......
"By the way, in the misty town, the food in the room is problematic, and there are 'spirit threads' growing out, extending to the church at the very core, once they are eaten, the whole person will instantly evaporate and disappear, well, this is hung in the church, becoming a secret puppet......
"In other words, when you reach the rank of 'miracle master' or 'secret attendant', you can let plants grow 'spirit threads' from things that once had spirits, so as to turn them into secret puppets?
“...... Is that 'curtain' an extraordinary trait of the 'Miracle Master' or the 'Mystery'?
"Looking at the performance of the dark demon wolf, it is likely to be the latter......
"That's why the 'Secret Waiter' trait has been missing for a long time, and there are only clues, and no one can find it?
"Before the 'Source Fort' has a 'master', the gray mist will unconsciously attract the high-level characteristics that are vacant in the three paths, encompassing them?
"That suction is really strong, it scared the dark demon wolf Kotal, and he didn't care about staying, he just wanted to escape......
"What is He doubting, what is he afraid?"
After some analysis, Klein's face gradually became a little more excited.
If you can successfully hunt the Ebony Demon Wolf, an angel-level existence, it will be an incomparable harvest!
Of course, the dark demon wolf after getting that "curtain" is definitely more difficult to deal with than before, and Klein's grasp of this matter has decreased a lot.
In the flash of his thoughts, Klein remembered one thing:
"Judging from the time node, when the dark demon wolf arrived at North, the ruins of the northern city-state, it was obvious that he had already obtained the 'curtain......
"He turned the whole city into a puppet city, not to settle down, not to accumulate helpers, but to prepare for the ritual of the 'secret attendant'?"
