Chapter 168: Unlucky Anderson
After recognizing who the leader of the mural was, Crane subconsciously suspected that this was the content of his dream.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea, because the hapless Anderson was not anyone he knew, nor was he an impressive person he had ever met, and most likely not an extension of his dream.
And Anderson has made it clear that he became unlucky because he saw the mural, and it is a strong association with the mural, so this is part of his dream!
Gathering his spirit and looking closely, Crane quickly noticed that the murals here were several different from those seen by Little Sun in the abandoned temple of the "True Creator":
The background here is a sea of golden flames, and the former plain was barren and dead;
The destination here is the depths of the sea, and the previous one is a distant mountain with a huge cross and upside-down man at the top;
Here, the "Angel of Destiny" Ulorius, the soles of his feet are black silt and fish stuck in his head downwards, and the previous one was a meandering river.
Not the same fresco, closer to the account of the different stages of a pilgrimage...... Crane nodded in speculation.
This scene had already come to his mind:
A long time ago, sometime in the Quaternary Period, Ulorius the "Tail Eater" led a group of pious pilgrims or remnants of the "True Creator" to this sea, chased by many powerful enemies;
For some reason, he abandoned the ship, relying on the help of the "true Creator" or his own strength, directly parted the sea, led the pious through here, into the "God's forsaken land", and preserved the fire of the "Redemption Rose", "Aurora Society" and other organizations;
In the "Land of God's Forsaken", they crossed the barren plains and built temples on the way to the "pilgrimage", which is the kind they later discovered by the little "sun".
Judging from the fact that Will Unsetin, the "Snake of Mercury", was forced to restart the cycle and reversed into an embryo, "Tail Eater" should still be alive...... Does this mean that He led the "pilgrims" to their destination, the sanctuary of the "true Creator"? Does this mean that the sanctuary of the "true Creator" is somewhere in the "forsaken land of God"? Thinking of this, Klein suddenly had some inexplicable feelings:
If my guess is correct, it means that no matter how the "Silver City" tries to save itself and pass on the torch, when the "True Creator" fully awakens or returns to a normal state, they will inevitably perish!
When you are close to the kingdom and sanctuary of the evil gods, your existence has nothing to do with your own efforts!
It's like a bubble stirred up by the rush of the sea, and when the wave passes, it disappears.
The human race, the human civilization, is so fragile under the gaze of the evil gods.
"No, I can't be so pessimistic, I just guessed that maybe it wasn't Ulorius who got Will Unsetin, the speaker of the School of Life, to be reincarnated, maybe the 'True Creator' didn't recover or wake up so easily, and he may be under the seal of the Seven Gods......
"Therefore, Silver City still has a chance to open the path between the 'Godforsaken Land' and the outside world before the evil god breaks free...... this is probably the reason why the Chief of Silver City wants to release the 'Shepherd' elders, they must use every ounce of power they can use" Crane forcibly withdrew his thoughts.
He immediately became a little worried, fearing that he had fallen into the "circle of fate" created by the "Tail Eater".
At this moment, he instinctively wanted to take four steps backwards, enter the gray mist, and forcibly retrieve the memories that may have been erased, but in the end, he still suppressed this impulse, and prepared to observe first:
From the point of view of interpreting the symbols, there are no circulating rivers here, only black silt with fish stuck upside down, which means that there is no cycle of fate, only the entanglement of bad luck!
This coincides with Anderson's words!
"As the king of angels, Ulorius will definitely not have only one trick 'Cycle of Fate', and it is completely logical for different temples and murals to use different abilities...... Besides, it's a dream!
"Moreover, even if I didn't do anything, and really fell into a loop, repeating the experience of talking to the 'Star General' until I was going to observe and observe, and when the next Monday came, the problem would be solved, and then the Tarot Society would definitely not be able to take place as scheduled, and Miss 'Justice' would inevitably make a suspicious prayer, and I would be able to use it to regain my memory......" Klein suddenly felt confident, and the panic and tension in his heart either disappeared or was hidden deep in him.
He looked up and saw that the hall was so deep that there was no end in sight, and the light shining in from the door was only limited to the part where it came in, and the rest of the place was quite dim, and the deeper it went, the darker it became, and only a wooden door could be faintly seen on both sides, and I didn't know where they led.
Looking at this dark scene, Klein's desire to continue exploring dropped to its lowest:
"I have encountered the murals left behind by the King of Angels here, and who knows what will happen if you go deeper and enter other rooms......"
The fear of the unknown is an extremely old emotion, the unknown that can bring the most intense fear to the danger but not knowing what the danger is causing the most intense fear, Klein looked at himself for a few seconds and stopped moving forward.
He turned to Anderson, who was chopping the giant tree with an axe:
"Why are you here?"
Anderson glanced up at him and sneered:
"I'm a treasure hunter.
"What do you think I'm doing here?"
Treasure Hunter ...... Klein casually asked:
"There's treasure here?"
Anderson continued to immerse himself in the so-called canoe, and his voice suddenly became low:
"This sea is full of treasures.
"As long as you can get it and get it out alive. ”
That's the same thing...... But the problem is that if you are not a demigod, it will be dangerous here, and a demigod will be more dangerous here...... Crane looked into the depths of the hall and said:
"Do you know what's there?"
Anderson followed his line of sight and glanced at it:
"I don't know.
"At least a third of my companions formed a team, explored there, and never came back. ”
"Do you mean the real world, or the dream?" asked Klein, thoughtfully.
Bang!
After the axe fell, Anderson smiled and said:
"The real world, of course.
"Exploring in the dream were the other third of my companions, who also didn't return. ”
...... Klein took a breath and thought for a moment:
"What about their real-world bodies?"
"Mutated into monsters and killed many of his companions. Anderson pulled out his axe and slashed it down.
While!
With a crisp sound, his axe shattered in two, and the splinters shot into his body as the crack was far behind.
Anderson's right chest and abdomen suddenly flowed bright red blood, bubbling like a spring.
He covered a wound with his left hand, raised his head, looked at Crane, and smiled bitterly:
"As I said, after seeing that mural, I was always in a state of bad luck.
"Thankfully, it's not too unlucky, at least they didn't ruin my ordinary, handsome face. ”
...... How do these two adjectives fit together?Klein watched Anderson quickly remove the fragments, treat the wounds, and administer the potion, and found that he was emotionally stable, skillful, and seemed to be used to it.
With one hand in his pocket, Crane played with the coins inside, and asked thoughtfully:
"While your companions were exploring, you and the rest of us stayed where you were to study the murals?"
Anderson was stunned for a moment, tied the potion skin back to his belt, wiped his mouth and said:
"Nope.
"I belong to the third of those who go forward. ”
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, revealing a warm smile.
This...... Klein's pupils shrank, and he directly arched his back slightly and raised his left palm.
At this moment, the dazzling sun shone up, and everything was bright at first, then faded, and disappeared.
Naturally, Klein opened his eyes and found that it was noon again.
He took out his gold-shelled pocket watch, pressed it open, and looked at it:
"It's only been half an hour, and the night is a little short......
"That unlucky Anderson just now obviously looked normal, but I didn't expect it to be so scary!"
After turning over and getting out of bed, Klein suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the "snake of fate" Will Unsetin has not yet "replied"!
Because everyone's dreams were pulled into that world and were not connected to the spirit world, he couldn't locate them?Or, he sensed the breath of Ulorius the "Tail Eater" and didn't dare to approach it?Or was there something wrong with the sea itself?? As the thought turned, Crane decided to verify it.
As for how to verify it, the method is very simple, that is, take advantage of the "noon" and go back to sleep.
However, he was in no hurry to do so, because he did not know if there was a taboo here that he could not sleep during the day.
Putting on his cap, Crane went outside the captain's room and knocked on the door.
After three knocks, he withdrew his hand and waited patiently.
It didn't take long for Gardelia, the "star general", to open the door.
Her face was gone, and she put back her heavy glasses.
"Can you sleep during the day?" Klein asked bluntly.
Gadelia nodded:
"Yes. ”
After answering, she hesitated:
"In your dreams just now, you seemed to be very mobile?"
Thinking of the dangers hidden in this sea, and thinking that he might be forced to show something later, Crane decided to take the initiative to lay the groundwork first.
He looked at Gardelia and smiled politely:
"Yes.
"This is a gift from my Lord. ”
My lord...... Gardelia's gaze flickered visibly under her heavy glasses.
She frowned unnoticeably, then unfolded without asking more.
Klein thought for a moment and added:
"Watch out for Heath Doyle. ”
Gadelia clearly understood what he meant, and replied directly:
"Don't worry, he's got a seal, and the negative effect is that he can only hear voices that are close to the source. ”
This is a clever use of negative effects...... Crane stopped rambling, took off his hat, turned away, and walked back to his room.
He lay down again and fell asleep again with the help of meditation.
In the dream world, he woke up and saw the familiar dark wasteland and dark spires.
Whew, it's good to be able to get in touch...... Crane breathed a sigh of relief, and made his way to the tower, where he saw scattered tarot cards and new handwriting in the old place:
"There are a lot of dangers there, but the most dangerous is the dreams that come after the night.
This doesn't mean that you will disappear without sleeping, but it is important to remember one thing:
"Don't explore that dream!
"Never explore that dream!
"Since there's not enough space here, I won't explain why, well, just kidding, because it contains certain dreams left behind by certain gods. ”
