Chapter 10: Shadows and Dreams
Judging by how much Mother Earth values Mitchell, it's not hard for Green to be sure of one thing: the gods take the world very seriously! So much so that salted fish like Michelle, who only deserves to be used as dog food, can receive great divine grace from this. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Forcibly elevating an ordinary miscellaneous fish to the level of a high priest, even if you think about it with your toes, you can understand that the price is definitely not small.
Since the gods value this world so much, it is impossible for the Lord of Shadows to abandon this world so easily. Even if he had to leave, with the Lord of Shadows' character who likes to "deceive people", he would definitely leave some misleading words.
The gods are the embodiment of the law, the symbol of the rules, and the gods cannot act contrary to their laws.
For the Lord of Shadows, lies are his instincts, and deception is the meaning of his existence. If the Lord of Shadows does nothing, then there is only one possibility - he is in a state where he can't do anything!
So Mitchell didn't lie before? The gods really can't directly influence the world. β
After losing his followers, the Lord of Shadows completely lost his influence in this world, and was unable to even communicate and transmit information.
Since the Lord of Shadows can't inflict divine punishment on himself, it doesn't matter. Green squinted, looked around, and then began pounding on the walls one by one, looking for possible chambers.
Followers of the Lord of Shadows love to build vaults and treasures, and with a bit of luck, they might be able to find something good in them. Now that Green is destitute, if he can find something, he can improve his wallet somewhat.
The surrounding walls do not appear to be anomalous.
"Detect the Secret Door!" Grimm doesn't believe in evil and tries to use spells to help him search for the secret door.
In Green's eyes, all objects have become dark or light gray. Upon closer inspection, Green discovered that there was a place on the floor that was noticeably lighter in color.
"Found it!" Green looked closely at the floor and groped around the floor to find a small crack.
Green pulled out his dagger, plunged it into the crack in the floor, and pried it hard!
Sure enough, the floor was loose.
However, after discovering the dark grid, Green did not rush to open it.
"It's not big. There should be no traps in a small dark grid like this......" Green's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the floor, trying to see what was underneath the floor.
However, Green's [Detection Secret Door] spell has not been specially practiced, and the spell level is too low to fully see what is behind the slate, so Green can't guarantee whether there is a trap behind it.
Green pressed his ear to the floor and tapped the floor with his dagger, listening.
"No cogs or nooses were heard."
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. After a moment's hesitation, Green cast a toxin-resistant spell on himself, and then Green gently opened the floor with his shield on his head.
Green was very careful, but to Green's surprise, there were no traps underneath.
This is good news, but at the same time a bad thing.
The good news is that the absence of traps also saves Green a lot of trouble. The bad news is that the content is probably of limited value - most of the time, the difficulty of the mechanism is directly proportional to the value of the treasure.
Soon, Green saw what was underneath.
"This is...... A ledger? Green picked up his journal and flipped through it.
A number of transactions are recorded in the ledger. However, since the content of the record was made in cipher, Green was not sure what was recorded on it.
In addition to the ledger, there are several gold coins underneath.
Green tried to stuff the ledger into the system backpack. Failed, unable to fit into the system backpack, but there was no problem with gold.
"It looks like this ledger is just a scene facility." Green ignored the ledger and cast his gaze on the altar.
On the blackstone altar, in addition to the emblem floating in mid-air, there is also a black mask on the altar that is very similar to the emblem - this is what should appear on a normal altar, the emblem floating in mid-air should appear in the large temple and not on such a broken altar.
The black emblem floats above the blackstone altar, symbolizing the projection of the power of the Lord of Shadows in this world.
As Green approached the altar, the mutation protruded! I saw that the black emblem suddenly merged into the black mask on the altar.
In the blink of an eye, the floating emblem disappeared, and the feeling of being watched by others was gone. Green understood that the Lord of Shadows' gaze had left, which made Green breathe a sigh of relief.
Being watched by a powerful presence is not a good experience. Even if you know what the other person won't do to you.
After the Lord of Shadows' gaze vanished, Green finally began to scrutinize the mask on the altar.
The black mask made of silk and leather has a good texture and a very smooth feel.

Tome of Life (Rare)
Special Effects: Religious Relic: Lord of Shadows (This is a relic, only followers of the Lord of Shadows can use it.) οΌ
Special Effect: Shadow Attention (The Lord of Shadows' faith level is +1, making it easier to get the Attention of the Lord of Shadows.) οΌ
Description: This is a sacred object that has been blessed by the Lord of Shadows, and wearing it will give you the attention of the Lord of Shadows.
ββββ
Faith levels can be divided into: blasphemer/heretic (hostile faith), unbeliever, pan-believer, devout, fanatical/clergy.
Faith Level +1. In other words, even a very ordinary pan-believer can wear this mask to gain the attention of the Lord of Shadows like a devout believer, and if you are lucky, you can even gain divine grace and become a priest. If you are already a devout believer, then the conversion to the priesthood will be a sure thing.
To put it simply, this is a "telephone" dedicated to the Lord of Shadows, which is similar to Green's Magic Mirror network. Apparently, the Lord of Shadows wanted to use this artifact to communicate with Grimm.
Green was reluctant to join the Church of the Lord of Shadows, but ......
"Do you want to try it on?" Green looked down and thought for a moment, but finally didn't put on the mask.
After all, the Lord of Shadows doesn't have a good reputation, and Green isn't sure what will happen when he puts on the mask, so there's really no need to take such a big risk.
But Green did want to talk to the Lord of Shadows and see if he could get some information from himβeven if it was false, it was better than nothing.
Green touched his chin, took off the little yellow book-shaped Mona from his waist, and glanced at the CD of the [Mona Mona] (summoning Mona) skill.
"When the CD is over tomorrow, summon a Mona and let Mona put on this mask and try it."
Since you don't wear it yourself, let someone else wear it!
With a plan in mind, Green didn't delay any longer.
Leaving the secret altar in the basement with the mask, intending to find a place to rest for the night.
Players don't need to sleep, they go offline to rest when they're sleepy - in the game's parlance, "hiding in the gap between time and space". When Green first obtained the "Lost Son of Time" talent, he was not able to use this function until he lost his "physical body" after death and was resurrected in the dungeon world as "Lost Childhood of Time", and the function of "hiding in the gap between time and space" was really available.
This feature is not suitable for use in combat. Because it takes a 30-second countdown before going offline, and about 10 seconds of stiffness before going online, it will be very dangerous if you encounter enemies during this time. Therefore, when you go online, you must find a safe place to go offline.
It's obviously not very safe here.
Green took stealth and quietly left the secret room.
The player is a group of creatures that are day and night. The place where Green fought before attracted a lot of players, so Green deliberately avoided that area.
Every time Green walked as far as he went, he suddenly felt a sight!
Grimm froze and looked in the direction his gaze had come from. A player is looking at Green in stealth.
Green glanced at the magic glasses on the bridge of the player's nose, nodded at the player, and quickly left.
Green quickly found the tavern in town.
The tavern is very noisy, with a large number of NPCs gathered in the tavern, and at first glance, it looks like a tavern on the main plane. But the fixed actions of the NPCs make it clear that all of this is fake.
Green walked over to the tavern bar and said to the tavern owner, "Stay in the hotel (Chinese)." β
Tavern owner: "Oh~ what's the matter?" Friend. β
Hearing the tavernkeeper's formulaic inquiry, Green frowned slightly.
After thinking about it, Green spoke in Palomean instead, "Give me a room, and I'll stay in a hotel." β
It's like a button on a vending machine. These NPCs have very limited AI and can only react to a few [keywords]. As for languages other than [keyword], AI cannot understand them.
This time, when Green uttered [keyword] in Palomyan, the tavernkeeper finally reacted.
Tavernkeeper: "One silver horn for one night." β
Green took out two silver coins and handed them over, "I'm going to stay for two nights." β
As soon as the tavernkeeper's hand stretched out, the silver coin in Green's hand was gone: "Your room is on the second floor. β
"Bring me another ......," Green glanced at the sign behind the tavern, "bring me a "steak set." β
After paying the fee, the next moment, a steak set appeared on the bar in front of Green.
Green sat down at the bar, picked up the steak set, and ate it.
How so...... The taste is weird, and it tastes a little "fake". In the game, the player is just pretending to eat, and the player enjoys the process of the game, so he doesn't care much about the taste of the food. But after crossing over, Green had to admit that these projection items were really unpalatable!
Soon, Green finished his meal and walked up the stairs.
When Green just walked up the stairs, the scenery in front of him changed!
In the next moment, Green had entered a hotel room.
Through the window of his room, Green could see the outside of the hotel, but he couldn't jump out of the window. Obviously, this "guest room" is not really a room, just a special space called a "guest room".
"So, log out of the game and get some sleep." Green opens the system and starts logging out of the game.
Green's system is very different from the player's, and there is no option to "log out of the game", but there is a skill button under the talent screen.
"Enter the space-time gap!"
Green suddenly felt a distorted feeling, as if the world was moving away from him, and there was a feeling of weightlessness that made Green a little sick.
Green doesn't like that feeling! As soon as Green had this thought, the next moment, the feeling of "being far away from the world" disappeared.
"Drop, failed to enter the space-time gap."
Green was stunned for a moment, then looked at the system prompt.
"Hmm...... All right. Do it all over again. β
Green activated the skill again. With the help of the system, Green once again developed that feeling of "being far away from the world", as if his spirit was detached from the world, and he was observing the world from a very high place......
Green forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, forcing himself not to resist the feeling.
After a long dozens of seconds, Green's eyes went black as if the power had been cut off.
Although it was pitch black, Green with dark vision could see everything around him clearly.
It's a small room of about 20 square meters, the room is not big, and Green can change the shape of the room as he likes, like pinching plasticine.
Since Grimm does not have a "player shop", there is no furniture in the room.
For Green, though, that's not a problem.
"Minor Creation!" Green cast a secondary creation.
In the next instant, there was an extra bed in the room.
In the next moment, there was an extra blanket in the room.
ββββ
Secondary Creation: Four-ring spell spells. Create ordinary, inanimate fiber products (e.g. clothing or wood products) with a volume of no more than 1 cubic meter/grade.
ββββ
Objects created by secondary creations are "projection items" and are time-limited, disappearing after a certain amount of time. Compared with the "Item Replication" that comes with [Little Yellow Book Mona], the level of secondary creation is undoubtedly much lower, but "Item Replication" can only be used after having a sample, and secondary creation can directly create items with a single composition according to Grimm's will.
After using a spell to create a bed and quilt, Green fell directly on the bed.
β¦β¦
Green had a dream.
In the dream, I was born in an ordinary family and had a group of family members who loved me. But one day, he received a gift from a demon king and obtained the power of [God Killer], and since then his fate has deviated, and finally embarked on a path of betrayal and separation......
β¦β¦
The dream was so long that Green felt like he had slept for a long, long time.
Finally, Green opened his eyes, rubbed his somewhat confused head, and blinked.
"This is ......" Looking at the dark world, Green finally remembered where he was, "Personal room." β
Green curled up in the quilt, then stretched out his hand: "Magic Mirror Network!" β
Grimm had a hand, and Grimm's treasure appeared in his hand.
