Chapter 157: Crane is stealing his home

414

Tsunami.

Normally, a tsunami is preceded by a low tide and then seawater "spilling out" from its original container.

And now it's like throwing a stone into a container, and the sea water is rushing out all around.

In subsequent accounts, the massive tsunami caused by the eruption of an undersea volcano off the coast of Byam was the worst in 50 years. This tsunami can be heard as far away as the northern continent. The tsunami waves triggered by the eruption were as high as 130 rune feet (40 meters). According to reports from the Church of Baiam and military personnel, the waves have swept away 154 villages in the Rorsted Islands and Bayam alone. The waves from the tsunami even overturned several fishing boats off the coast of the southern continent, thousands of meters away.

And at the moment when the disaster began-

"You're not involved right now, and you're not taking potions......"

The devil took off his hat, put it on his chest, and made a playful curtain call to Bernadette.

Black air currents curved in a door-like arc near the hull, and the sea surface became a stop-motion picture, with white spray hanging from the vivid blue waters. It was just a seal containing the characteristics of Sequence 3, and the "Death", which had never shown the ability to "travel through the spirit world", turned the bow of the ship and slowly approached the door.

Agaritu straightened up and smiled:

"So, the ritual requirement of the sage is to 'stop a disaster.'"

"So are you going to be a part of it? Does your humanity have the requirement that you can't see death or not save you? If you do, if you don't save people, you're going to lose control. ”

Bernadette erected a spiritual wall in time to prevent this "curse" from falling. But at the same time, she had to start thinking about whether to go to the rescue when less than half of the crew was left and she was injured.

After a moment's hesitation, she gritted her teeth and asked her subordinates to turn the bow of the ship and go to the nearest island to dock for relief.

Just as the boat was changing direction, she caught a glimpse of something very inconspicuous floating on the water, and when she looked closely, it was a small wooden man in a small boat.

It seems to be a primitive model for painting, but this doll has no face!

No face!

Bernadette suddenly remembered something, her eyes locked on the small boat, and the boat swayed in the wind and rain, and finally floated to the vicinity of the "Death", which was already half submerged in the spirit world. The little wooden man stretched out his arm and climbed up the rope and grid of the boat, and the little wooden boat sank to the bottom of the sea.

It climbed onto the ship, and the sailors around it turned a blind eye to it. A hand reached out, and it climbed up with it, into someone's pocket.

Agaritu smiled at Bernadette and made a gesture of goodbye.

The "Death Call" entered the spiritual portal completely and disappeared from Bernadette's eyes.

Faceless puppet ...... The sage who was on the soothsayer's path also had no face......

Bernadette was in a cold sweat, was this the Sage who had replaced Agaritu, or was it a ploy of the "Immortal King" from the beginning?!

In the spirit realm, Agaritu, who realized that he had finished his business, made his way back up the steps to his new room—the captain's bedroom covered by the Death—ignoring the frightened eyes of the sailors along the way.

The new armchair was moderately soft and hard, and the table and chairs were familiar, probably fresh from the poor freighter, and the furniture was exactly the same as the furniture he had had used to live in first class.

Sunk into the single couch, his hand rubbing the thread that belonged to Bernadette.

If you search with the keyword "Russell", there are two possibilities, one is "she will meet Russell" and the other is "she will not meet Russell", and they have certain commonalities. The latter implies that either Bernadette or Russell will die before the opportunity to meet each other comes/both, or the opportunity itself does not exist.

If you want to enter the possibility of "not being able to meet", killing one of them is the best way.

Why don't you see each other and die? Or just die when you meet...... Bernadette was still some time away from learning about the location of Russell's grave...... I already know the island where Russell's grave is located, but it is the place where the fallen mother goddess is watching, and I can't go in and catch up with her.

Perhaps, you can wait for Bernadette to go with her.

Agarrito reinforces the possibility that "they will meet" and continues to follow Bernadette's movements.

"The result of this tsunami was...... Baiam was not completely destroyed, and the surrounding islands were extensively damaged. ”

Consistent with the result of his second prediction, this is the result of estimating the "variable" (suspected to be the will of the true god or the level 0 seal), and it seems that the "variable" is still in action.

In essence, the observation of "possibility" and direct divination do not mean the same thing, the former is to estimate the direction of the future based on the intersection of the fate lines of the people involved, so that multiple branches and multiple answers will be obtained, while divination will point to the final "future".

"From this point of view, if Richard's kid really has hope of surviving, it means that human beings can cross this hurdle and reach a higher place, and they will naturally fall from a higher place......

"If she dies, I can also upgrade from 'Curse the Northern Continent and certain gods' to a higher level of destruction, cursing the Seven Gods and the entire Earth at once."

Agaritu remotely contacted Edward, who was in prison, and was in stable condition, having been peacefully at home for nearly a month since the Great Smog had passed, and the new pleasure he had found was to spray Fabuti on the edge of the abyss.

Of course, if she finds an opportunity, she will go directly to the Southern Continent to talk about life with Siea.

He pinned a map of the world to the wall and began plotting a route to the Forsaken Lands.

It's best to go all the way east, find the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent, and slowly follow the coastline north. The voyage will take several months, but it will pass through some interesting places along the way, such as the Sea of Divine Wars and the Sunken Laurel, which is recorded to be full of treasures from the Byron Empire.

"The devil's spirituality is not enough to support long-distance travel in the spiritual realm, so let's leave the spiritual realm first and go east."

The "Death" received orders and slowly manifested itself in the smooth waters several kilometers away, frightening the small fishing boats that came and went.

Luckily, the pirates didn't like the ragged fisherman's mosquito legs and drove away from them. The waves on the side of the boat nearly overturned the boat.

Agaritu took the little wooden man out of his pocket, and the little wooden man couldn't wait to make a sound:

"I'm on the island and I've seen the people who attracted me!"

"He's strong, he's stronger than me, I can't eat him."

"My model is so good, he didn't find out! I'm like a human being, and I'll be human soon! ”

"Not bad." "Keep up the good work. ”

The little doll happily jumped to the ground and ran out to play on its own. Agaritu calmed down, intending to see where the extraordinary properties left by Kavituva had fallen, and let the extraordinary item come by itself, after all, the ship was full of demons, and the attack method was too simple.

- He was shocked to find that his spiritual (polluted) connection with his own part of himself was gone!

415

The tide receded, and Byam's cries began to fall.

People who have lost their homes or loved ones walk the waterlogged streets with low whimpers.

The first to be hit was the bustling wharf, and many people were suddenly swept away by the waves while they were living and trading normally.

It was as if the stones had fallen into the sea and disappeared in an instant.

As the rain stopped, it seemed to signal that the crisis was finally over, and the Storm Church's relief efforts soon began.

Although many of the middle and high rank powerhouses have participated in the search and recovery of the "Poseidon" heritage, there are still many low rank and ordinary people who can be requisitioned.

Sailors rowed around the city, searching for people waiting for help on high places, and poking down the bodies of those who had drowned in the trees, most of them still soaked. The bodies were all dragged to a fixed open field to await claim.

Furious people skilled in water spells are busy luring the sea away from Baiam, from underground rivers or city canals.

The tsunami destroyed 15 per cent of the homes in Byam, mainly in the dock area and some low-lying factories.

The casualties in Byam are not too large, and they are still within acceptable limits, but it is difficult to say on the other islands, according to the reports of the personnel stationed on the other islands of the Church of the Storm, many small islands have been buried directly under the water, and the roofs are not exposed, only some canopies are floating on the water. If the ground is not visible after the tide is completely low, the islands will be crossed out of the new map.

Alger was also assigned to the rescue team, which was a tiring job with little oil and water, but Alger was used to it.

In the wind, the order of the church was heard, and the navigators, who happened to be taking refuge at high places, took advantage of the situation to inform the crowd of the official information that "the crisis has been resolved." Later, they cooperated with their colleagues in the church to send the people back to the city in batches to prevent riots such as looting while the situation was taking advantage of the situation.

To do this, Alger donned the robes of the Storm Priest, which he rarely wore once.

When his colleague returned to the city with a part of the people, he was responsible for keeping an eye on his own part. Most people wept silently or prayed to their gods, while others broke down in the disaster and took him as a temporary confession.

Alger didn't want to be in charge of this part, but he couldn't help it, and the disaster relief work didn't take much credit, but if it was done badly, it would be a big mistake. If people go to church afterwards to complain about their bad attitude, it will be even more doomed. Alger had no choice but to squeeze out a smile on his face, mimicking the patience and gentleness of the pastors in the confessional room to deal with these emotionally unstable people.

There was a young man who wept silently, but kept holding his hand tightly, as if he could gain some strength or divine curling. Alger learns from the other party's cries that his wife happened to be shopping for groceries near the dock when the tsunami began.

And his wife, who has eyes as blue as the sea, said that they would eat grilled fish with honey sauce together at noon today, and they had only been married for less than a year...... Alger didn't want to hear so much, and interrupted him on the grounds that there were still many people waiting in the back, saying:

"The storm is above, I hope your wife is safe."

The young man departed in amazement, and an old woman fell to her knees before him, and she said, O Lord of the Storm...... This is my third child you've taken with you.

The woman was much quieter, but as if her heart was dead, she was silent, and Alger could hardly speak. After she had been on her knees long enough, Alger finally said:

"The storm is above, may your child's soul find peace in her kingdom."

The woman stood up numbly and slowly walked into the distance.

The next man came again, and Alger sent one after another, and there was a long queue behind them, and there was no end to the pain of those who wanted to talk about it. He kept saying: The storm is above, may she bless him, but in his heart only the belief of longing for strength and status is getting stronger.

Human beings are so small and fragile that ordinary people without strength will drown in such a tsunami even if they are good at water, but sailors can rely on underwater breathing to survive. The sailor can only save himself, but the navigator has a chance to escape with a boat...... And further up, further up, "Sea King" can directly control the life and death of so many people. If he wanted to, it would take only one exhale to blow the wind that swept Baiam, and with a wave of his hand, the sea would do his bidding.

This is the one who has the power, this is the power that can hold the fate of all the people of Baiam in their hands!

How far am I from this power?

If the "Lord of the Storm" can't give me such power, what about Mr. "Fool"?

Alger's heart faltered dangerously.

At this time, the clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and the warm afternoon sun shone on the mutilated Baiam, warming people's scarred hearts.

……

Crane walked through the underwater ruins, frowning more and more.

His boots had lost their bottoms, the rest of his clothes were tattered, and his clothes and trousers were torn, wet, and charred.

These are all unavoidable things in the situation just now, and they are not something that the "paper man double" can bear—the tearing comes from the huge suction force of the sea vortex, the wet feeling comes from the torrential rain from Kavituva, and the scorched black is the sign that Crane is using the "paper man double" and is hit by a small amount of lightning.

There are also places that are brittle and whitish, that is, they have lost their vitality after being burned by the pale flames.

Even now, when he had calmed down, he still had some spasms from the shock in his right forearm.

"This one cost me 8 pounds and 6 soles...... It's time to get a new set...... I succumbed to danger and was prepared, but I didn't expect Kavituwa to be stronger and crazier than I expected...... Hopefully there will be some gains in the future. Crane shook his head silently, his expression curtailed, and endured the pain.

The entire ruins were littered with uncontrollably twisted flesh balls, and the two sections of Kavituva's breathless body filled most of the ruins.

There wasn't much flesh on the ground, and Crane, who was almost barefoot, didn't feel too disgusted.

He specially changed his overall image, his height plummeted by more than ten centimeters, and he became a fat man with a face full of flesh, scars, and a fierce man, which was the ugliest time for his personal image.

Although the snake-tailed demigod left, if someone came, he summoned the other party to flee into the spirit world like lightning.

The means of spiritual teleportation are so convenient! Such a powerful demigod was stunned by me as a moving tool, and I felt a little sorry for others......

A mysterious blink of blue-blue light had emanated from Kavituva's body, and it didn't matter how quickly it converged towards one of the teeth, which was longer than a human arm, causing the slightly curved, sharp white bone to straighten at a slow pace.

This is a Sage-level seal, at least level 1, and if no one from the Storm Church or the military has come until it takes shape, then it should belong to the "Fool"! I took the plunge and rushed in to pay off...... Crane is looking forward to it.

Upon arriving here, Crane immediately judged the distance by divining Daniz's location, and later discovered that the ruins were almost on the edge of Rorsted Island, and that it should be a day's voyage from Byam. Judging by his not-so-precise geographical knowledge, it seems that this is already close to the Sunia Sea. It's inconvenient to run, which makes Crane feel very big.

In his vision, he should first sacrifice his iron cigarette case to Kavituva, and then use the source fort to divinate the location of his cigarette case, so as to determine the location of Kavituwa.

Finally, if the situation allows, come to explore in the form of a spirit, and bring the "Black Emperor Card" to cover yourself with anti-divination. Come in and touch the legacy of Kavituwa when the danger is not so great, and return as soon as you encounter the "substitute" cargo military.

For him, even if the people of the Storm Church and the Kingdom military had found this place in advance and taken the most valuable items, as long as there was a little left, they would be quite satisfied.

Even if there is nothing, it is enough to study the elven ruins and see what information they have left behind.

But he had missed the level of Cavitua's madness, and the enthusiastic response a few minutes earlier had made it impossible for Crane to control his actions, and even his life was at risk, let alone stop the ritual. As a last resort, he had no choice but to rush in, and although he killed Kavituis to solve the crisis, he also fell into a rather dangerous situation.

"Fortunately, all the devout believers in the ruins have died with Kavituwa......"

"Otherwise, I will be greeted with a warmer welcome than when I am sacrificed......"

Cryan, who was fleshy and ragged, sighed heavily, and then began to archaeology in bitter amusement.

The site is so large that it can be used as a place for daily activities by a giant sea serpent tens of meters long. From a distance, he bypassed the half-fallen pillar and entered the back of the hall, which had almost completely collapsed.

There should have been a lot of frescoes here, but with the destruction of the walls, it was shattered and gone, and Crane flew all the way to the end, only to see an elaborate and ornate throne buried by stones and pillars, revealing only about a third of it.

On the left side of the throne, there is a remnant half of the fresco, which depicts the confrontation between two figures:

Looking down on the enemy was a man who was treading the waves, facing the dark clouds, and cloaked in the storm, with a softer outline of the oriental charm of his previous life, and a spear composed of pure electric light in his hand, with the background of the flooding ocean.

Underneath the man was a man in a simple white robe, his face was so similar that it was difficult to distinguish his age, and he could only barely tell that he was a man.

There was a halo of light behind the head of the white-robed person with a very classical atmosphere, quietly emitting a glow, like a round of sun.

At his feet, there is an illusory circle divided into twelve squares, each with a symbol symbolizing different times.

Behind him was a veil-like shadow, and within the shadow there seemed to be an eye peering out silently.

With a solid occult foundation and rich insights from all sides, Crane quickly made an interpretation:

Waves, storms, dark clouds, lightning...... This should be the ancient god "Elf King" Sunia Solem...... Sure enough, as the legend has been, the elves' facial features are quite soft...... This ancient "Lord of the Storm" has no irritable feelings, and his appearance is unexpectedly good, hehe, this is a mural in the elven ruins, and it is normal to beautify his own gods......

The sun-like halo, the twelve squares of the circle that symbolizes time, this ...... Isn't this the father of Amon and Adam, who is rumored to be the ancient sun god in the outside world and the "creator" of the all-knowing and all-powerful god in the Silver City? There was a curtain of shadows behind her, and behind the curtain was an eye...... By the way, the "true Creator" has an image of "the eyes behind the curtain of shadows"!

Sure enough, is this the "Creator" who has taken back the authority of the old gods and has eight "kings of angels" following?

This mural depicts the "Elven King" Sunia Solem against the "Creator"?

Crane retracted his gaze and looked for something else of value.

Following his spiritual instincts, he went to the throne, reached into the base of the collapsed stone and pillar, and pulled out an object.

It's a flattened golden goblet.

Its surface is intricately engraved with intricate and delicate patterns, the tall legs have been bent, and there is a line of elven text at the bottom:

"Scourge, Gosinham."

As he took a closer look at the Ancient Elven symbols on the stone pillars, all the extraordinary properties on the ground suddenly surged, turned into a hurricane, and swept into the hall, throwing in the white fangs that were no longer bent.

The strip of cloth on Crane's body was also swept away by the hurricane, and he suddenly looked up, only to see that the remains of Kavituva had completely collapsed, shaped like mud, and the snake's fang, which had absorbed all the extraordinary properties of the place, had been turned into a short staff, silently inserted into the half-fallen pillar.

The top of the white scepter was inlaid with tiny blue "gems", some of which were dyed with dark black and the morning light.

Crane hurried into the hall, cautiously approaching the scepter.

Before he could really make contact, there were cascading illusory prayers in his ears, and hallucinations appeared in front of him, seeing worshippers praying one by one, and seeing the rebels weeping bitterly over the collapse of the idol.

The illusory cascade of prayers penetrated into his ears, and the prayers of piety, weeping, fanatical, or numbness filled his horizon, throbbing and dizziness growing more and more intense.

Crane suddenly became dizzy, and half-knelt two meters in front of the short staff.

It's not a description, but his head is really starting to swell!

These things were completely beyond the limits of what the Sequence 6 Extraordinaire could bear, and a thin gray mist flashed before his eyes, isolating the sounds somewhat. Only then could Crane barely continue to think.

No, my flesh isn't strong enough that I can't even get within a meter of this Level 1 seal...... This is the power of the demigod level...... Crane barely took a step forward, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind:

When his fingers were still some distance from the staff, his fingertips suddenly weathered and rotted, and soon his whole body turned into a puddle of mud, and then turned to ashes in the wind.

This is a very bad omen. Crane immediately took a few steps back and picked up a two-meter-long stick.

"If you can't touch it directly, you should be able to sacrifice him directly to the Source Castle ......"

He immediately took four steps backwards to the source fort, and quickly responded to himself, stabbing the short staff with his long stick into the door of sacrifice.

The wind pressure and the illusory murmur that made him so painful disappeared in an instant, and Crane felt the same way as Miss "The Magician" in this moment.

He quickly blew the brass whistle and sent the snaketail demigod out of the ruins with him, back to the inn of Byam.

TBC

——————

Decay (Drop Handle): I don't want to play anymore.

Is it so difficult to understand the decay and change of the covenant? One is that I have exposed me and I am cool, but I also have to face at least four gods at the same time, and one is that I can curse the seven gods and all mankind after a while, and it is obviously better to choose the latter!

Off topic, it looks like I'm going to work......
