Chapter 31: Remains of the End of the Quaternary Period

"Okfa just explained to you who we are......" Anderson shrugged his shoulders under Agnes' gaze.

"Treasure Hunter," Agnes nodded, "Looks like it's something to do with your 'job.'" ”

"Yes," Anderson nodded, "you're the 'professional' we need." ”

"What kind of 'professional'?" Agnes raised an eyebrow at Anderson's words, "Maybe we need to talk to someone else and talk about it carefully." ”

"Then this person ......" Okfa looked at the corpse behind Agnes.

"He hasn't been able to do anything to accumulate some bounty for himself because he was wanted by Rune not long ago, or he wouldn't have been sent to spy on me," Angnes said casually, "It's only Rune's side, and let the owner of the Thornflower Tavern help relay his death to Rune's side." ”

Okfa and Anderson looked at each other, and Okfa spoke, "Then Ms. Poyesia, there is a place on the second floor of the Thorn Flower Tavern that meets the requirements. ”

......

"We stumbled upon a ruin in the Tempest Sea a few months ago," Anderson said slowly, "and we have a preliminary judgment that this ruin was once a city at the end of the Quaternary period, and it is similar in style to the ruins of the Quaternary Byron, and it is likely that the god of death was once believed. ”

"We initially discovered that it had been swept into the dangerous currents of the Raging Sea, and had deviated from its intended course." Anderson's words paused for a moment, and then his voice took on an unconcealed harshness, "At first, it looked no different from the ordinary city of West Bailang, and even more ...... Bustling. ”

"But?" Agnes asked.

"As long as you don't get blinded by the unknown hallucinations in the ruins, you'll find that every part of the ruins is full of living corpses," Anderson said, "and it's a city of living corpses." ”

A city of living corpses, Agnes couldn't help but smack her tongue.

"So you need an extraordinary person who can deal with living corpses?" She asked, "I think the extraordinaries who lean towards the sequences of the sun and the divine might be a little more suitable." ”

"No, those living corpses have a low desire to attack," Anderson said, shaking his head, "and the presence of the power of an idiot who only knows the praise of the sun will arouse their hatred, even if it is only the power of the seal." ”

"Actually, it's not just the Sun and the Divine sequence," Okfa added, "I, Anderson, and the rest of the team, as well as the seal's abilities, if they notice it, will cause their hatred, if not to attack. ”

"There are too many of them." Okfa sighed with a look of relief.

Agnes nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Have you tried the seals of the 'corpse collector' path?" ”

Raging Sea, the end of the Quaternary period, the city of living corpses, hate most of the sequence...... These descriptions led Agnes to subconsciously associate the Pale Calamity with the fall of the Immortal.

"We carried one with us," Anderson said, "and the living corpses had all sorts of strange attitudes, some were respectful, some were just air, and some were like they had been killed and their whole family ......"

Anderson paused, shrugged, and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that their whole family was dead. ”

Respect, indifference, hatred, this ambivalence ...... Agnes automatically dismissed Anderson's nonsense, and only asked thoughtfully, "Are you describing the attitude of those living corpses, and how much communication are they able to achieve?" ”

Anderson hesitated for a moment and didn't answer, and Okfa said straight to Agnes, "If you actively cater to the influence of the unknown hallucinations in that ruin, it's no problem to talk to them as if they were living residents. ”

"Actively catering to the effects of 'hallucinations'?" Agnes repeated.

"I had to do this as a last resort on my last expedition," Okfa explained to Agnes, "and for now, it's certain that the attitudes of the inhabitants of the hallucination are exactly the same as those of the living corpses in reality, and that I can change the attitudes of the inhabitants of the hallucination to stop the living corpses from chasing me." ”

"But if you've been immersed in hallucinations for too long, you'll gradually have a strong desire to stay there......," Okfa paused, adding, "That's how part of our team's attrition at that site appeared, their memories and ways of thinking were completely unusual, but they made staying there their most important thing from the bottom of their hearts. ”

This "unknown hallucination" was by no means as simple as an illusion, and even behaved as if it was a contamination of unknown origin, and Agnes looked at Okfa and understood what Okfa had not spoken.

Okfa's description struck Agnes as familiar, and she couldn't help but feel a little inquiring.

"And what kind of help did you want from me when you invited me?" She asked.

"Actually, I got some news about you while chatting with Stitch, and deduced from that information that you would make a living corpse." The two looked at each other, and Okfa spoke, "He sold me a seal from an artificial vampire, and when I asked about the corpse, he told me that you had taken the corpse of the artificial vampire with you. ”

"When I mentioned to him about visiting you, Stitch suggested that I should ask you out, or go with him to visit you, because there was an extra corpse guard in your residence, and Stitch thought I couldn't beat him."

"Poof." Okfa cast his gaze to Anderson at his side, and Anderson raised his hands under Okfa's gaze.

"I don't think the living corpses I can defeat are necessarily born from the corpses of ordinary people, and there have been no recent rumors of some famous extraordinaries disappearing on Olawe Island," Okfa retracted his gaze and said seriously to Agnes, "so I suspect that your living corpse guard made it himself from the corpse of an artificial vampire that he took from Stitch." ”

Agnes nodded, acknowledging Okfa's speculation, "I do have some insight into the knowledge of living corpses, especially the living corpse production on the southern continent. ”

"Then I trust your abilities." Okfa smiled and nodded to Agnes.

Agnes nodded and asked, "When are you going to go?" ”

"In fact, if you agree, we're ready to leave at ten o'clock in the morning in two days' time." Anderson replied.

"Then I'll be at the port at nine o'clock in the morning in two days." Agnes nodded.
