757

The dreams are full of grotesque and surreal elements.

The three of them didn't say much, and walked up what seemed to be a giant serpent and what seemed to be a spiraling staircase, and walked towards the place where the light came from.

They climbed the stairs, higher and higher, and at some point, Crane saw an illusory cloud appear beside him, and then gradually passed through himself as he walked, and landed below.

After walking up the stairs to the top floor, they came to the top of the sea of clouds, as if they could reach the height of the sky.

Medici stopped, and stopped in front of a black wooden door that appeared out of thin air, covered in strange patterns.

There was not a single gap in the sea of clouds below, but the clouds were constantly floating, and there were faint shadows similar to towns and many creatures.

Klein looked up, and the sky of the dream was very strange. He knew it was the sky, but it looked like a huge glass ceiling, faintly visible as a golden sphere at its brightest point, but it was indistinct, and it looked far and near.

The spherical shape contracted and expanded steadily, shedding a warm and bright light.

"What's that?" He couldn't help but ask, the bright sphere was a little dazzled after looking at it for a long time, Klein lowered his head, and magically felt the sourness of his eyes in his dream, "Is it the same as the astral plane, corresponding to the symbol of the 'sun' and the Creator?" ”

"Oh, you've seen the symbol of the astral plane?"

Hermes asked curiously.

Klein nodded, deciding to speak truthfully: "It was a very fortuitous chance. The symbols of the astral realm seem to be very different from the spiritual realm, not so much of a strong symbolic meaning, but more like the celestial bodies and the starry sky itself. ”

"Strictly speaking, that's okay."

Medici joined the conversation, and at the same time, he stretched out a hand and slowly grasped the doorknob, and said in a lively tone: "After all, we are now walking in the dream of the Great Serpent, which is the Lord in the eyes of fate, and it is normal to be similar to the symbol of the astral plane. ”

The phantom of the serpent, which had coincided with the spiral staircase, was silent, seemingly acknowledging Medici's words.

Crane looked to the left and right, and saw that the vague walls did indeed seem to be hung with equally vague paintings and carvings—the "Angel of Destiny" seemed to have a soft spot for art, and Klein saw many works from this angel, who seemed to be particularly fond of recording moments in his destiny in this way, or giving revelations to believers and others.

Still, it's scary to look at the statues and murals that suddenly come into action...... Klein thought of the little "sun" that had been in a loop a long time ago, when he followed the chief out to explore, and the other party was frightened by the mural left by the Angel of Destiny.

"What's behind this door?"

Crane looked at the door in front of him and couldn't help but ask. As described in the ancient texts of the Aurora Society, the gods sealed the true creator in the Eastern Continent, intending to bury this history forever. And on the way to the Godforsaken Land, the image of the "door" does appear a little too much, like layers of seals, locking the true creator and the people of this continent behind countless locks and gates.

He asked one question after another, trying to get more ancient knowledge to help himself better play digestion.

Medici and Hermes were also very generous, and said as they twisted:

"You'll find out right away."

Klein understood that this meant to make him think for himself. At that moment, he felt as if his feet had grown a little taller, and it seemed as if the serpent had raised its head and looked with them at Medici as he opened the black wooden door covered in strange patterns.

The door pushed forward, and inside was a sea of sea.

The sea was in the door, above the sea of clouds, and the sun was shining directly from the blinding sunlight, and the waves seemed to hide large expanses of rich gold.

Medici breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes.

The golden sea? No, it's something in the water that is glowing gold...... Crane observed Hermes and Medici, and seeing that neither seemed to explain to him the meaning of what was before him, he used his mind and tried to think.

This is the ruins of the Divine War, the dream of countless creatures, and the relics of the Divine War are the battlefield where the "Redemption Rose" besieged the ancient sun god, which is the source of the cataclysm...... Klein felt that he had vaguely grasped some clues, and his thoughts were rushing, according to the information revealed by Hermes, the divine war broke out at sea, and all the coasts of the Eastern Continent were in ruins, and the ancient sun god also fell in this battle, and his body and extraordinary characteristics were eaten by the three angel kings...... Divide the ......

Klein had an initial idea:

It was the blood of the ancient sun god!

And this blood appeared in the dream, proving that before he died, he was affected by the power of the "night" and fell into a dream, dreaming that he was torn apart and the sea was stained with blood.

In reality, the same thing may be happening.

For this answer, after understanding the composition of the "Redemption Rose", he already had a corresponding guess against the various anomalies in the relics of the divine war, and now he is not too shocked, but the "ancient scholar" potion has been digested to a certain extent.

The progress of the digestion of the potion has reached almost eighty or even ninety, and the rest is estimated to be digested soon during his trip to the Eastern Continent, and then, he only needs to take the survivors of Moon City and Silver City to the outside world and find a small island in the sea to settle in, and then he can complete the ritual.

Immediately afterward, he burst into an indescribable exclamation.

This was the closest he had ever come to the ancient sun god.

Bang dang!

Medici pushed the door open. As the black wooden door opened, an unimaginably strong aura seeped out, causing the entire dream world to shake significantly, and the sea of clouds made waves, as if it had encountered an earthquake that could destroy this world.

Amid the dust and crumbling stone bricks, Medici reached out and grabbed Klein into the dream where the golden ocean was.

The Creator's dying dreams were even somewhat peaceful, but as soon as he entered this world full of golden light and divinity, Klein immediately felt that his spirit was melting, his spirit was evaporating, and it would not take a few seconds for him to become the nourishment of this dream.

At this time, the silver-white giant snake instantly swam over from the side of the door, and Ulorius surrounded all three of them, biting his tail, forming a ring, making Klein's state quickly return to the state of still behind the door.

Immediately after, the world of the dream suddenly shattered, and Ulorius seemed to find a direction in the dream, and his huge scaleless body rushed to the end of the sea with Crane and the others. Their figures became slightly transparent in mid-air, and then, directly in the mid-air of the golden-dyed ocean, opposite the projection of the "Giant Court" frozen in dusk.

Here, there is more heat than Klein imagined, but not as dangerous as in the dream.

In other words, this ocean in the core area of the Divine War Ruins has been divided into safe zones due to the conflict of various divine powers, and as long as you don't blindly explore, there won't be much of a problem.

"Snake, do you read?" Medici patted Ulorius on the back, and didn't know what answer he received, Medici smiled, "What a coincidence, I don't want to miss it, you just rush over with us." ”

"Your Highnesses, don't you read it? This is disrespectful to the Creator. Hermes looked left and right, and finally chose to point the cross on his chest, and closed his eyes in prayer with a solemn expression, "Praise be to you, the Creator of all, the all-knowing and all-powerful God!" ”

"You are one, you are ten thousand, you are the beginning, and you are the end."

Medici snorted, reluctantly, but didn't say anything.

"You are the god of the gods, the ruler of the vast astral plane!"

After a pause, Hermes's voice deepened, and he added a sentence that did not belong to the name of the ancient sun god:

"You are the god of mankind, the light of civilization, the sun that pierces darkness."

"I beg you to open the gates of your kingdom and I beg you to give us the opportunity to go to your sanctuary."

"You don't need to add that, we are all here, He cannot turn us away under any circumstances, He loves pilgrims, and He loves the devout who die on the pilgrimage."

Medici whispered, "Forget it, I love to listen, and so does the serpent." ”

Hermes smiled and whispered it twice. As the prayer fell, the sea of clouds separating the two peaks boiled instantly, splitting to the left and right, revealing a dark gap with no bottom visible.

"But that's the Creator." Hermes sighed, "This is the awe of the great being and the strong. I also used to have a natural reverence for ancient things, and a psychology of worship for powerful things, just like the ancient totems of mankind, all of which are powerful beasts. Of course, when I saw the ancient god who fought and slain the earth, and opened up the human world, my faith in the mighty beasts was suddenly shattered, and I began to think that my past self was stupid, why should I hope for the beasts and look up to them? I should have looked at humanity itself. ”

"Actually, humans are like that, and beasts are like that."

"You have a special affection for humans, and that's because you're human. And I don't have a race, so I look at everyone about the same. ”

Medici shook his head:

"I believe in strength, but I don't have to be strong to make me follow, anyway, I don't see a better one than the Lord at the moment."

Ulorius was silent.

Klein consciously didn't get involved in the conversation between the two ancient angels, he observed the scenery around him, and even felt a little dizzy—the scenery here was so stunning that it would be a perfect trip if he didn't come with a purpose.

The sea of clouds floated, and the sea below still carried a shocking spiritual power, and the projection of the "Giant Court" on the opposite side suddenly absorbed all the twilight light, allowing them to rush forward, filling the deep gap in front of them.

So, between the two mountain peaks, in the misty sea of clouds, an orange-red path of light appeared.

"It's time to go down."

As Medici said this, Ulorius was already lowering his altitude, reaching the top of the path of light almost instantly. Hermes jumped, and Medici grabbed Klein and jumped down, Crane was powerless to resist, and his clothes hunted.

Immediately afterward, Ulorius took one look at them, bit his own tail, turned into a serpent, and disappeared from the dream.

Medici waved his hand into the air:

"See you in Silver City!"

Klein reflexively raised his hand as well, and then slowly put it down.

He suddenly worries about one thing - is Ulorius helping him, like Will, seeing something on the "menu of fate", ready to pay some price in advance, and then gain something in the future?

If it's anything else, it's fine, in case it's Will who has to pay, then Klein really feels like he's being bought and sold again.

But if you think about it carefully, Will is not Klein's thing, nor is he a subordinate, but Klein always has to find a way to tie Will to earn some paper cranes and "restart" spells, and the two are normal and reliable trading relationships, and there is no "can be paid" affiliation.

The road formed by the dusk seemed to be unable to carry anything, but after the three of them fell on it, they did not continue to fall, as steady as walking on the earth.

"Take a good look at this place, I don't know if I will be able to walk this road again in the future."

Medici put Klein on the ground by the back collar and led him forward, and said in a relaxed mood:

"In the Third Age, this place was 10,000 times bigger than it is now."

"At that time, the city-states built by half-giants and half-elves and humans spread along the coastline, presiding over the sky and the sea, and the vast seas were always sailing ships carrying seafood and supplies."

"The dragon that surrenders soars in the sky, and those who do not surrender will have their feet cut off and fly forever in shackles, until they fall until they die."

Now everything is wrong.

This time, Hermes didn't say anything more, and they took Klein step by step to approach the magnificent projection of the "Giant Court", looking left and right from time to time, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Crane felt his Ancient Scholar's potion slowly digest. Walking on the sea of clouds, stepping on the long bridge at dusk, and overlooking the mythical palace in the distance is a thing that makes people feel happy and refreshed.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the "Court of the Giants" projection, standing in front of the tallest building.

The main entrance of the building, which is a minaret on one side and a round tower on the other, is mainly gray-blue, covered with symmetrical symbols, logos and patterns, and is the abode of the giant king, the sleeping place of the "dark angel" Sasriel.

Crane glanced at the pitch-black hole on the left side of the door, and was roughly sure that the door in his dream could be opened without a key, otherwise the previous "True Creator" believers would not have been able to pass through it, after all, at that time, the correct key was in the collection room of the "Iceberg Admiral".

"As long as we push open this door, we can enter the 'Eastern Continent', otherwise we will be seen by the guy behind the door."

Medici took out the "wriggling hunger" from his pocket and threw it to Klein: "We don't open the door, we go straight over." ”

Crane put on his gloves, and a dark blue, illusory door with no sense of substance appeared in the corner of the gray-blue door.

Medici then took two steps and passed through the illusory door.

Well, there are no useless extraordinary abilities, only useless extraordinary people...... Push the door open and you will be watched...... By whom? Who might have been the "true Creator" now? This is His sanctuary, His kingdom, who else will be there? …… Crane followed Medici closely, stepping through the faintly blue door.

As soon as he passed, he immediately felt that the world was spinning, and even his spirit seemed to be torn.

By the time the anomaly had vanished and his state had returned, Crane found himself on a beach in the twilight glow.

The gravel and stones here were all black, and the deep blue waves of water were coming from afar, slapping on the edges layer by layer, but there was no sound of the tide.

They are quiet, like a grand illusion show.

The sea is illusory...... Coming in will appear here, leaving most likely not...... According to the principle of reciprocity, if you want to leave, you can only open the abode of the Giant King where the sleeping "Dark Angel" Saslir is sleeping? Crane turned his head passively and looked in the other direction, a mountain bathed in twilight, with countless palaces, countless towers, and a series of majestic walls.

When Medici says "will be seen", does he mean being seen by the "dark angels"?

This is the mythical and legendary "Court of the Giants".

"I miss it so much."

Just as Klein was shocked by what he saw, Hermes whispered, "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to return here." ”

"This will probably be the last time."

Medici turned, glanced sideways at the majestic Giant King's City, and pushed Crane and Hermes forward:

"When you go out, the movement is a little quieter."

"Don't break these things—they're precious relics!"
