Chapter 859: Gray Fog at Sea
"Cayuga!" Before Sylvia could think of anything, Tessa Mocha, who had also been awakened and had come to check on the situation, said a word that sounded different from that of the northern languages.
"Cayuga, what's that?" asked Leo.
"That's a legend in the wasteland. Tessa Mocha thought for a moment and said: "Cayuga is the ferryman in the rice field where the life of the giant is endless, anyone who dies will be judged by Him in the rice field, the innocent can go to the end of the rice field unharmed, and the guilty person can only wander in the rice field forever, and the rice field will also become a thorn." ”
"Rice field?" Leo thought of the rice field he was in before, and he was still wondering why his spiritual world was presented in the form of a rice field, and now it seemed that the rice field was not his spiritual world, but the mysterious being called Cayuga.
"What happened later?" Sylvia asked, "I remember that the shamans of the wasteland worship the return to nature, even if they die, they also return to nature, it is obvious that the legend of this Cayuga violates the teachings of those shamans in the wasteland, they should not let this Cayuga go, right?"
Tessa Mocha nodded and said, "The shamans did have a conflict with Cayuga's church, and I don't know what happened to the process, but then there was no longer Cayuga's faith in the wasteland. ”
"What time was that?" asked Sylvia again.
"It's what happened during the Great Pioneering. Tessa Mocha thought for a moment and replied.
"The period of the Great Exploration coincided with the disappearance of the tranquility of all things," Sylvia inferred, recalling the information she had seen in the Orthodox Church. It is recorded in the information that after the tranquility of all things disappeared, some of the followers claimed to have heard the sound of tranquility of all things, left the church, and went to the Moisan continent, it seems that the sound they heard should be this Cayuga, and it should also be that they brought Cayuga out of the Moisan continent wasteland, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Orthodox Church, they did not contact the previous Tranquility Church, and came to the empty space of the Orthodox Church in Daliat, and established a new Tranquility Church. With that, she looked at Leo and asked, "What now?"
"There's no need to bother them! I don't think they'll bother us anymore. Leo replied briefly, then looked at the sky outside the house, and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the ice bridge first." ”
Seeing that Leo had already made a decision, Sylvia didn't say anything more, and followed Leo out of the room and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Tessa Mocha on the side felt that Leo was too contemptuous of this, after all, the other party was a god, even if it was a false god, it was stronger than the vast majority of people, so he treated the attack of a god at will, and his attitude was a little lazy.
However, she didn't have much to say, after all, now both of them didn't think that there was any need to bother too much about this matter, so she could only keep an eye on herself, so as not to wipe out the whole army when something happened.
The three of them briefly freshened up in the bathroom, changed into warm clothes, extinguished the fire in the stove, and walked out of the small villa.
At this time, the man assigned by the mayor stayed in the small room at the door, and when Leo and the others approached, he was already aware of it, and knocked over the contents of the house in a panic.
However, he behaved very strangely, and when Leo and the others passed by the door, he did not open the door, but asked Leo and them through the door, "Sir, ma'am, are you going to leave now?"
"Yes, we're going to check it out at the Ice Bridge. Leo looked thoughtfully inside the room and said.
"I was sick last night and can't stay with the three ......," the man said quickly.
Leo smiled and said, "It's okay, we can go over by ourselves, and you can take care of yourself in the house." ”
After that, they continued to walk towards the town.
Sylvia and Tessa Mocha, who were following along, also sensed something was wrong and frowned.
It didn't take long for them to walk through the woods and come to the town, although it was daytime, there was no one in the town, all the doors of the houses were only closed, and the thick snow covered most of the doors and windows on the first floor, and the people in the house seemed to be unconcerned about the situation, and had no intention of clearing the snow.
As Leo and the others walked through the streets of the town, they could all feel the sight projecting from the house, falling on them, moving with their steps, and in their sight there were all kinds of emotions, fear, anger, doubt, and curiosity.
"Something is wrong!" Tessa Mocha, who sensed the anomaly, reminded in a whisper.
Leo smiled lightly and said, "It's okay! as long as they don't bother us, we don't need to pay attention to them." ”
Before Leo entered the town, he had already swept all the houses in the town through the spiritual net, and saw that the people in there had obvious mutations on their bodies, and their mutations were all the same, all of them had wide foreheads and sunken inwards, and there was a ball of light in the depression, the only difference was that the brightness of the light spots was different.
There is no doubt that the people in the entire town, including those scholars who have come to the town to study the culture of the Reynolds, have become Cayuga's dependents, and last night's incident obviously caused some blows to Cayuga, which indirectly affected these Cayuga's dependents, making their recessive mutations become dominant.
Now Leo didn't know what Cayuga's attitude was, whether he had been frightened by his counterattack last night, or whether he was hiding and preparing to continue next time, but he knew very well that if it was not necessary, try not to clash with the townspeople, lest Cayuga who was hiding in the shadows see that he was acting falsely.
Although even if he faces Cayuga in reality, he still has a way to be the final winner, but the cost of that victory can be very high and meaningless, so all he has to do is to avoid revealing his true situation.
The three of them didn't say anything all the way, and came to the outside of the post station, and the officials and coachmen in the same post station all locked themselves in their rooms, and Leo only answered inside the door when he called the door, and asked Leo to lead a few pack beasts and tidy up the pack beast saddle by himself.
Leo and the others didn't say anything, but went to the hut at the back of the house, pulled out the pack beasts, put them in the saddle, and then rode the pack beasts out of the town and headed for the ice bridge not far to the north.
Not long after the trio left the town, all the townspeople came out of their houses, all of them put on their cloaks, covered their heads, and gathered towards the mayor's house, as if to discuss countermeasures or inquire about the situation.
"High Priest, why did our bodies suddenly go out of control just now?" After everyone arrived at the mayor's house, the mayor of the town, who was also mutated, also walked out, and someone in the crowd couldn't wait to question the mayor.
The mayor's gaze swept over everyone, and casually made up a reason, saying: "Don't worry, this is a test for the Lord to his children, and when everyone enters the Lord's kingdom in the future, they will appear in their current appearance, so the Lord hopes that his children can adapt to this state as soon as possible." ”
Someone else asked, "Did the Lord let us appear before those strangers?"
The mayor shook his head and said, "Of course not, when the strangers come, you just stay at home, after all, our real appearance is different from ordinary people, and those ordinary people may not necessarily accept our higher form." ”
Then a few more people asked about the questions in their hearts, and the worries in everyone's hearts gradually weakened, and they left the mayor's house one after another.
After persuading the townspeople and believers to leave, the mayor also ordered his men to go back and not to come out for the time being until their bodies recovered, then closed the door, turned and went upstairs, came to the study, stood in front of a bronze mirror, stretched out his hand and stroked the mirror, and said something in his mouth.
After a while, there was a burst of light shining in the mirror, and then Cayuga's head appeared in the mirror, and if Leo was here, he would definitely be able to see that the light on Cayuga's head had become much dimmer at the moment, as if he had been hit by something.
After Cayuga's head appeared, the mayor didn't speak, but flashed the light on his forehead, and Cayuga's head also flashed with light, as if the two communicated through the frequency and brightness of the light.
"Lord, I see! I won't provoke them. After a while, the mayor spoke.
The image in the mirror also dimmed as his words fell, and quickly disappeared.
Meanwhile, the three of Leo had arrived at the seashore and were walking along the coastline towards the ice bridge to the north.
Although there was some wind and snow yesterday, today's weather is not bad, even if there is no sunshine, it does not seem too dim, and the usual vision can also see far away, such as the place where the three of them are at this moment, you can clearly see the ice bridge shining with a silver light in the distance, and the thick gray fog on the western sea.
Leo had heard about the gray fog on the sea, blocking the sea route, but he had not actually seen it, and now it was the first time he had seen it, and even if it was the first time he saw it, he still had a strong sense of familiarity, because he felt that the gray fog was the same thing as the fog he had seen at 9 Golden Oak Street, but there was a difference between the two shades.
At this time, Tessa Mocha suddenly appeared abnormal, her eyes stared blankly at the direction of the gray fog on the sea, she breathed rapidly, as if she wanted to suck all the air around her body into her lungs, and a frightened look appeared on her face.
"What's wrong?" Sylvia asked first, noticing Tessa Mocha's anomaly.
Sylvia's inquiring voice also caught Leo's attention, and he noticed the direction of Tessa Mocha's gaze, so he looked over there at the gray fog, but he didn't see anything surprising.
But he didn't wonder if there was something wrong with Tessa Mocha's body, he directly changed his gaze to spiritual vision, and the moment his gaze changed to spiritual vision, he saw a huge figure appear in the gray fog of the sea.
He couldn't see the specific form of the figure, but he could only tell from the figure that it was like a small mountain, and there were countless tentacles under it, and these tentacles were straight into the sea, deep into the sea, like pillars supporting the monster's huge body, slowly moving forward.
Although the scene in his eyes was very amazing, but for Leo, this kind of sight was really nothing, and it didn't make him anything unusual at all, and although the monster in the gray mist was extremely large and had a powerful feeding like a god, it gave Leo a feeling of nothingness, not to mention compared to the Cayuga he saw not long ago, even compared to the ordinary Guha giants he saw before.
Although it appeared to be moving slowly, it was actually extremely fast, and in less than a moment, it disappeared into the gray mist.
Leo then withdrew his vision and turned to look at Tessa Mocha.
Tessa Mocha has come out of that state of extreme shock, her emotions are still immersed in what she just perceived, and she has not fully recovered, and it took her a long time to realize in the face of Sylvia's inquiry.
"There's something in the gray mist on the sea just now!" Tessa Mocha said, pointing to the gray mist where the huge figure appeared before, "That thing is full of death, full of despair, full of ...... All in all terrible, very scary!"
If it weren't for the direction that Tessa Mocha was pointing in or the location of the figure that the spirit saw was there, Leo was a little suspicious that the figure he saw was not the same thing as what Tessa Mocha felt.
It's just that Tessa Mocha's reaction is really exaggerated, and in Leo's opinion, there shouldn't be such a strong reaction at all.
However, Leo did not suspect that Tessa Mocha was acting, he felt that the figure in the gray mist must contain some kind of power, and this power happened to have a restraint effect on Tessa Mocha, or the seed that Tessa Mocha integrated into his body, which is why Tessa Mocha had such a big reaction.
Sylvia heard Tessa Mocha's words and looked blankly in the direction she was pointing, not seeing anything unusual at all, which made her completely confused about what had just happened.
Seeing Sylvia's dazed look, Tessa Mocha also knew that Sylvia hadn't found anything, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only shake her head and say, "It's okay! I'm fine! It may have been my delusion just now, let's continue on the road!"
At this time, Leo drove the beast of burden under him to lean over, took out a bottle of potion, handed it to Tessa Mocha and said: "Drink it, it's good for you, don't feel it again the next time you feel something is wrong, the things in the gray mist are very strange." ”
"You see?" Tessa Mocha looked at Leo in surprise.
"What do you see?" asked Sylvia, curious.
Leo thought for a moment and said, "It should be some kind of fog beast!"
