Chapter 68: Clues

"You also try. Klein handed the iron-black long sign in his hand to the other residents of Moon City.

The men squirmed in their throats and swallowed their saliva again, but instead of responding immediately, they turned their gazes to the High Priestess Nim, waiting for him to nod.

Nimes pulled out an object from the fur garment he had wrapped in, what appeared to be a magnifying glass with a handle.

At first glance, Klein almost looked like a monocle, and his heart stopped beating in fright, but fortunately he controlled himself in time and confirmed the details.

Holding the metal handle, Nimes brought the glass object to the front of his right eye and examined Ruth through the lens for a few seconds.

After a brief moment of silence, he put the item down and nodded lightly to the rest of the Moon City residents.

The people outside of Ruth finally reached out and carefully and orderly took a mushroom from the iron-black skewer and stuffed it into their mouths.

The taste, which did not contain a bit of disgusting smell and filth, made them instantly intoxicated, and they swallowed the mushroom into their stomachs in three or two clicks, and instinctively reached out to want another one.

However, the mushrooms on the iron-black skewers were all divided.

Nimes withdrew his gaze from the iron-black long stick, waiting for Gelman Sparrow to continue his story and the teachings of the "Fool".

Crane looked around and repeated what he had said earlier:

"The mushrooms around can be picked at will, except for the pure black ones, and in addition, they must be fully cooked before they can be eaten, otherwise they will be cursed. โ€

The residents of Moon City no longer hesitated in the slightest, and immediately got up and chose the mushrooms they had loved for a long time.

Klein glanced at it and added:

"When the white mushrooms are cooked, they can easily crack and come out with liquid, so you need to prepare some utensils or drink them in time. โ€

Without waiting for Ruth and the others to respond, he picked up the topic he had left off and continued until he heard the voice of Mr. Fool reciting the honorific name of Mr. "Fool" coming from the gray mist.

Seeing that the high priest Nim was attentive to hearing and was greatly moved, Klein considered and spoke:

"There are many ways to make the gray mist react, but they all have to do with my lord. โ€

This is a reasonable guess for him, because there is more than one person who is suspended, and there is more than one way to enter the gray mist, if Russell the Great comes here with his imitation of the mysterious silver medal, there is a high probability that this invisible barrier can also be mutated, of course, the premise may be that the emperor belongs to one of the three ways of "soothsayer", "apprentice", and "thief".

Seeing that Nim and the others did not ask any questions, Klein said kindly:

"As far as I've observed, there's no single extraordinary path to Moon City. โ€

The gray-haired Nim did not hide it, and simply responded:

"Yes, when we were selected to come to Moon City, the Divine Envoy consciously made the Extraordinary Path comprehensive, but unfortunately, after so many years, after one disaster after another, many of the Path's potion recipes and extraordinary materials have been lost. โ€

"Which way did you get there?" Crane asked casually as he watched the residents of Moon City turn over mushrooms from monster bones.

"I'm the 'Night Watchman'. Nim said calmly.

Sequence 4 "Night Watchman" of the "Night" pathway? Klein bowed his head slightly, and asked instead:

"Has anything unusual happened near this gray mist?"

Nimes, who had furrows on his face, thought for more than ten seconds and said:

"Yes. โ€

Klein's heart moved, and he asked calmly on this topic:

"What kind of anomaly?"

Nim glanced at the fragrant mushrooms, and then pondered the words:

"A hill suddenly disappeared, leaving only a deep pit in its place.

"There were no signs of an explosion in that area, and there was no dirt spilled around. โ€

What's going on? It's a little weird...... Crane asked, without any change of expression, as he tossed the mushroom roots into the fire to make them fuel:

"Did you do any further investigation?"

"Yes. Moon City High Priest Nim nodded and said, "A team of investigators met a demon wolf there, not a monster demon wolf that had rotted or mutated, but the original demon wolf. โ€

Demon wolf? Klein didn't expect to hear such information, and his pupils changed slightly and asked:

"What does the demon wolf look like?"

Nimes unconsciously took a breath of air and said:

"It's the same as the demon wolf described in ancient texts, but it's even bigger, even if eight feet land on the ground at the same time, it's as tall as two or three people combined.

"Its coat color is not pure pitch black, it gives a dark and deep feeling, its eyes are strange, mostly pupils, black pupils, and a pinch of short gray hair on the top of its head......"

This...... Isn't this the dark demon wolf Kotal? It actually came to the easternmost part of the Godforsaken Lands, and it was related to a mutation? If the power that made the Western Continent disappear really came from the "Source Castle", it would be normal to attract the mythical creatures corresponding to the "Miracle Master...... Klein frowned slightly and said:

"It didn't attack your investigation team?"

Crane deliberately used it instead of Him, so as not to scare the people of Moon City.

In his mind, it would be very easy for the dark demon wolf Kotal to destroy an investigation team, and it would not even cost too much to turn Moon City into his "secret puppet country", who knows, this mythical creature seems to have spared Moon City.

If it weren't for Klein's reading of the "Spirit Thread" of Nim, Ruth and others in advance and confirming their status, he would definitely suspect that the people who were talking to him at this time were just some secret puppets.

"No, it left in a hurry. Nim, the High Priest of Moon City, said truthfully.

This is not in line with the suspicious and cautious character of the dark demon wolf...... What frightened Him into fleeing so hastily that he didn't even care about those who saw him...... Or is there something special about the people of Moon City who are guarded here by the ancient sun god oracle, and if it is not necessary, the dark demon wolf does not want to attack them? Crane continued to ask without any change in his voice:

"Did it leave any traces?"

"Nope. Nim shook his head firmly, "We haven't found anything unusual except that the hill has turned into a pit. โ€

Klein's thoughts raced, and he tried to ask from another angle:

"When did this happen?"

The more he knows about an event or an object in the past, the more he can touch it in the fog of history.

Nimes thought back for a moment:

"Two years, two months and ten days ago. โ€

He quickly explained:

"There are so few things worth documenting, and I'm impressed. โ€

Two years, two months, and ten days ago...... It's September 8, 1351, and it's June 28, 1349...... This...... Crane's right hand suddenly shook slightly.

His pupils, his expression, were normal, but this was the result of the deliberate control of the "Joker".

He remembered very well that June 28, 1349 was the day he "crossed" over and became Klein Moretti, and it was the day he repeated the transshipment ceremony and entered the "Source Castle" in the true sense!

The mutation here, the appearance of the dark wolf, and the hasty departure of this mythical creature all have something to do with me?

He couldn't find an explanation for a moment, so he skipped it as if nothing had happened, and thought for a moment:

"Has anything like this happened in the last two or three thousand years?"

"Nope. Nimes replied with great certainty.

"Was there anything special about two hundred and eight years ago?" Klein asked.

That was the time when Russell the Great "crossed" into this world.

Nim hesitated for two seconds and said:

"I can't tell you the exact answer, and I'll need to go back and look at the records.

"Fortunately, the materials and documents of the last three hundred years have not been destroyed. โ€

Speaking of which, he added:

"My limited impression tells me that there should be nothing special. โ€

If this is the case, then the source that caused the change here and made the dark demon wolf appear was that I entered the gray mist and bound the "Source Castle" to himself? Klein bowed his head slightly, did not ask any more questions, and said simply:

"Tell me where that pit is. โ€

Waiting for the high priest Nim to answer, the mushrooms roasted by the residents of Moon City were already edible, some of them took a bite of the white mushrooms, and they were scalded by the milk inside, and they were reluctant to spit it out, and some chewed repeatedly, reminiscing about the faint sweet fragrance, and some of them were one after another, and they couldn't stop their mouths at all.

Nim was a little stunned, as if he couldn't believe that these were the people of Mooncity:

Each of them exudes two contradictory feelings of hunger and thirst and contentment, and the expressions on their faces seem distorted, but they are full of pure happiness.

"Taste it, high priest. Ruth, whose eyes were close together, handed Nรฎmes a mushroom covered in golden patches with a strange sweet aroma.

Nim hesitated, cautiously shining a picture with the "magnifying glass" before taking the mushroom and stuffing it into his mouth.

The next second, his expression moved slightly, and he slowly half-closed his eyes.

He tasted something similar in some of the mutated roots, but none of them were so pure, so aftertasteful.

I don't know how long later, Nim looked at Gelman Sparrow with an indifferent expression, and said with great sincerity:

"Your Excellency, we would like to hear the teachings of Mr. 'Fool'. โ€

I haven't had time to make it up yet...... However, as I get closer to the angelic ranks, it's time to put things on the agenda...... The anchor has to be prepared in advance...... Klein's thoughts flickered, and he remembered the words he had said when he flickered, no, transformed the believers of the "Sea God".

His expression quickly became solemn, and he raised his right hand, grabbed it into the void, and dragged out a cross covered with patina and spikes.

Klein pressed the thumb of his right hand against a thorn, allowing the blood to soak into the "Darkless Cross".

The patina of the surface of the "Darkless Cross" peels away quickly, revealing a body composed purely of sunlight.

"God said......" Crane opened his mouth and let out a low voice, raising the glorious cross in his hand quite a bit.

Warm, bright, transparent light rushes out like a tidal wave, filling the surrounding area in an instant.

The darkness and discomfort that had accumulated in the bodies of Nimes, Ruth, and others began to melt away rapidly, and their bodies and minds seemed to have been purified.

They were vaguely in a trance, only to hear the divine envoy holding the glorious cross and covered in divine colors solemnly say:

And God said......

"The first commandment: Thou shalt not offer a living sacrifice, no human sacrifice.

"Second commandment: Thou shalt not take my name in vain. โ€
