Chapter 177: After Exploration
Above the gray mist, seeing that the Silver City exploration team was on their way home and the Giant King's palace had not changed, Crane breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair tiredly.
After nearly two hours of observation, his spirituality was close to the limit, and at most he could last another quarter of an hour.
"Anyway, the harvest this time is completely beyond my imagination, and it is right to give the 'Silver Knight' potion recipe to Silver City. Klein rubbed his forehead, his thoughts unconsciously diverged, "Mastering these ancient secrets has greatly helped my digestion after being promoted, and the problem now is that my 'Sorcerer' potion has not been completely digested......
"From the feedback during this period of time, it can be seen that the spread of all kinds of strange stories does have a great effect, and when Miss 'Magician' completes the manuscript and publishes it, and then there is a period of brewing, it should be about the same.
However, she had only been writing for a few days, and she didn't know when she would finish it......
"Why can't she write a few more hours a day?
"When I went to pick her up this time, I urged ...... by the way"
Thinking of this, Klein suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he had not paid Anderson for finding the "Sick Admiral".
"Let's wait until he helps Daniz become a 'conspirator', anyway, this is also one of the agreements...... the promotion ceremony of the 'Predator Knight' is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, especially for the 'hunter', it is even more troublesome...... This actually requires the 'hunters' who are good at provocation and like to plot plots to form a team of at least thirty people, cultivate a deep comradeship with them, let them become strong one after another, and cooperate tacitly, can comprehend the meaning of 'hunters' according to their eyes and movements, and are close to each other, and then they form a ritual...... The higher the strength and tacit understanding of the team, the better the effect of the ceremony......"
Seeing that the Silver City exploration team had returned in an orderly manner for a period of time, and that there were no accidents, Klein finally put his mind at ease, left the gray mist, threw himself into the bed, and fell asleep soundly.
............
In the afternoon of the town camp, after some rest, Derick Berg finally recovered, and his face was no longer so pale.
As soon as he had baked bread made of black flour grass powder, a figure grew in the shadow outside the door, and he said in a low voice:
"Darek, the Chief is looking for you. ”
"Yes. Derick subconsciously stood up, "Thank you." ”
He was going to go to the Chief and hand in the "Silver Knight's" potion recipe.
After watching the messenger shrink back into the shadows, he stepped out of the door and into the campfire-lit camp square.
At a glance, Darek saw many members of the team who had not participated in the exploration operation gathered in twos and threes, discussing something in whispers with excitement on their faces.
They already knew that the "Giant's Court" could see the sea, and that it was not too far from the sea, and that as long as they could find the right way, it would not take long to reach it.
This is an important step for Silver City to save itself after discovering the outsider Little Jack.
The residents of Silver City, with "Dawn" and "Dawn" as their main forces, finally saw the light of day.
The long wait and persistence seem to be about to pay off.
Deric could relate to the mood of the players, because he was like that, but having heard all kinds of things about the "Divine War Ruins" from Gelman Sparrow of the "World", he knew very well that the sea was not easy, and it would be extremely difficult to get to the other side of the sea.
If nothing else, Sasliel, the "dark angel" sleeping in the palace of the Giant King and blocking the key path, is a problem that cannot be overcome at the moment.
One can only hope that Mr. "Fool" will bless him, well, that the little boy will appear in the ruins of the temple, indicating that there is another way to bypass the palace of the Giant King and reach the seaside...... Dyric thought wistfully, bypassing the quietly burning campfire and walking to the chief room on the other side.
Suddenly, he saw a man sitting silently in the shadow of a boulder.
It was a man in his twenties, much taller than Derrick, holding a pale gold bracelet with three small bells hanging from it, and his eyes were unfocused.
Derik is no stranger to this man, knowing that he is Antilna's husband Dolores, a Sequence 6 "Knight of the Dawn".
In Silver City, before the age of eighteen, one can be free to love until marriage, and if one does not have a spouse until the age of eighteen, one will be arranged, and the same is true for those who have been widowed for three years.
This is a necessary measure to ensure the population of Silver City, which seems to be against human nature, but it can only be done for the sake of the continuation of the entire race in the Dark Lands, and it can also ensure that everyone has a certain number of close relatives to the greatest extent, so that they will not mutate into terrible evil spirits after death.
And Dolores and Antilna are neighbors who live on the same street, they have known each other since childhood, they have a good impression of each other, and finally they fell in love when they were teammates in the patrol team, and they became husband and wife step by step, and their relationship is very deep.
Considering the young age of their children, Colin Iliad deliberately left one behind during this exploration of the "Court of the Giants".
On the one hand, Deric felt that there was no problem with the chief's arrangement, and on the other hand, he felt a strong sadness at Dolores's performance, as if he had to stab his parents to death with his own hands.
From the beginning to the end of this exploration, it was only half a day, but for Dolores, everything was different.
After a moment of silence, Derrick withdrew his gaze and continued on his way, taking a few steps that were unconsciously heavy.
At the same time, he thought of a rumor:
The "shepherd" elder Lovia once had a husband, but died during an expedition, which was originally a very common thing and not worth discussing at all, but the team that explored the ruins of the temple all "went crazy" except for Lovia, and after it was cleared, a rumor gradually spread among some residents of Silver City:
During that expedition, Elder Lovia ate her husband!
The "night" when the lightning frequency was very low, and the wind was a little cold, and Darik shivered and turned his attention back to the eyes.
He walked a few quick steps to his destination, and raised his hand to knock on the chief's door.
"Come in. Colin Iliad said in an unremarkable voice.
Darek pushed the door open and saw the Chief in a linen shirt and dark coat wiping the two straight swords with grease.
Colin Iliad did not stop, raised his head, looked at Derick at the door, and said:
"What do you think of this exploration?"
What is the purpose of the chief's question? Derik, who has been influenced by the "hanged man" Alger, subconsciously had such a thought.
He couldn't grasp the specific intentions of the chief, so he had to close the door with his backhand and answer calmly:
"There may be other ways to go to the seaside, and the palace of the Giant King should be crucial, but that is too dangerous, and we need more information. ”
Colin Iliad nodded, and then asked:
"The kings of angels conspire with those beings who are in the name of the gods, in order to rebel against the Lord?
"And this succeeded, causing the land to be abandoned?"
Although Derick had not directly heard such inferences, it was not difficult to come to a similar conclusion based on the various secrets he had learned at the Tarot meeting:
"Yes, it should be. ”
Colin fell silent, even the movement of wiping his straight sword slowed down a little.
After a few seconds, he put down the items in his hand and paced two steps:
"The beings involved in the conspiracy are still active on the other side of the sea?"
Darek was silent for a moment, and then replied thoughtfully:
"Mostly.
"But it's not too active. ”
Colin Iliad nodded, signaling that he had nothing more to ask.
Derrick hurriedly spoke:
"Chief, upon the death of Mirgungen the Lightkiller, I had the mutilated recipe for the Silver Knight' potion, including auxiliary materials and a promotion ceremony. ”
When he said this, Derick knew that his lie was too false to be seen through at a glance, because he didn't even dare to open his eyes.
But he couldn't think of a better excuse.
If Mr. "The Hanged Man" was here, there must be a better way...... As soon as Derrick turned this thought in his mind, he heard the Chief speak slowly:
"Very well, what is it?"
...... Darek was stunned for a second, and then hurriedly explained the corresponding rituals and auxiliary materials as they were.
"Demon Hunter" Colin listened quietly, and said with a long sigh:
"Your contribution this time is very large, which is of vital significance to Silver City, in the future, our upper limit will be Sequence 3, not Sequence 4, within a certain range, the risk of the exploration team will be reduced a lot. ”
Why is the upper limit Sequence 3, so that the risk of the exploration team encountering within a certain range is reduced...... Derick was glad that he had made such a contribution, but he had some difficulty understanding the Chief's words.
However, he knew that this should be knowledge that he was not qualified to know, and planned to ask about it at the tarot party later.
He then took his leave, turned and opened the door.
"Derrick......" Collin Iliad called out suddenly.
Darek looked back slightly confused, and found that the Chief's expression was rather contemplative.
Colin was silent for a while, shook his head and said:
"Watch out for Lovia. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. Dyric replied from the bottom of his heart.
............
Beckland, North District.
Hazel returns to the city in a carriage from Elk Manor, where she prepares to meet with Miss Audrey at the Rune Charity Scholarship to discuss donations and help.
After getting along many times, she had a very good impression of this noble lady, felt that there was no pressure around her, and the strange emotions that had accumulated in her heart dissipated a lot, and gradually recovered many forgotten memories.
"I should have another teacher...... I shudder every time I think about what happened that day...... "Hazel looked out the window a little melancholy.
Her carriage was passing near Berklund Street.
At this time, a man dressed as a postman passed sideways in front of him on a bicycle, and his posture was quite leisurely.
Hazel took a casual look and saw a monocle worn in her right eye.
