768

The High Priest smiled joyfully and kindly, but the smile that fell on Crane's heart made him feel uncontrollably sad.

He quietly turned on his vision, and saw that the spirit threads of the high priest of Nimes and the small group of people he brought were all suspended in the air normally, and there was no control or secret coupling.

He looked into the distance again, and looked around with his psionic vision, and he didn't feel that anything unusual was happening—Hermes and Medici both shook their heads at him, they were now in the depths of the Eastern Continent, and they were close to the seal, and the ruins Chernobyl that Crane didn't know about were not very far away, and Amon wouldn't always pay attention to them, and for him, the outside world had more important things to do.

That's Pales Zoroaster.

Thinking that there was an old man of Parles outside who could help him share his attention, Klein felt a warm current in his heart, just like Zarathu, who lived and died with him and never gave up, maybe this is the beautiful friendship between the elders and juniors of the mysterious three paths.

I don't know how Zarathu is doing now.

As the same sequence of living and dying together, Klein still misses this "soothsayer" old-timer who also speaks godly.

If the other party has been resurrected, then when he is also promoted to sequence two, he can also visit the door, chat, chat about acting, and by the way, thank Zarathu for taking care of Benson and Melissa before.

The church that brought Leonard close to the God of Thunder in time really worked, and there was no bad news yet.

Amon got the Source Fort, and the first purpose must be to quickly collect his three copies of the sequence one, and then find a way to prepare a godhood ceremony, I don't know what the "thief" godhood ceremony is...... Although he once owned the Source Fort, he knew how impossible it was to hide the Source Fort, as long as there was still a little chance, he would definitely have to find a way to sabotage.

Crane still thanked the god of thunder in his heart very morally, and prayed for Leonard and Pales for a while.

Then he turned his gaze and attention back to the high priest and the procession in front of him.

Instead of leaving incognito, Hermes stood still, ready to listen to Klein's conversation with them. But in His eyes, it is also alarming to be able to find this high priest so quickly without the premise that he has not reached the third sequence and has no honorable name.

Klein also noticed this.

- From the time they left the stronghold to the time they arrived at the Grey Seal, it was about five hours.

During this time, if the team in the stronghold could rush back to Moon City in time to report the "Divine Envoy", it would be too late.

Klein thought for a moment, pretended to be careless for a moment, looked into the eyes of the high priest and asked:

"You call us 'honored guests'?"

The High Priest still had a smile of genuine joy on his face: "Yes. ”

Hermes shook his head at Klein cryptically—he had gone to the other's psychic island to make observations, to make sure that the high priest was not lying, and he was not deceiving them. He really didn't seem to know what happened to the Moon City exploration site before, and the stubble of the "divine messenger" spreading miracles. He just saw someone approaching the Grey Mist Seal, so he hurried over to check.

"He's really parasitized, I can see it."

Hermes's sigh came along with the words: "But he himself did not know ......"

That's right. Crane couldn't show his frustration in his heart, so he had to face the old man in front of him with an expressionless face.

He was inexplicably reminded of some old legends about people who died without knowing they were dead, and whose souls were still alive as they were when they were alive - but, just tell them "you're dead" and they will immediately remember everything and disappear.

Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-two years...... Sure enough, he was sent here while the ancient sun god was still alive...... Crane has Silver City that has held out in the dark for more than two thousand years as a reference, and it is easy to confirm the words of Nim, the High Priest of Moon City.

Moon City was sent exactly a thousand years before Silver City.

He bowed his head lightly and asked:

"You're guarding this fog to prevent it from mutating?"

Nim, the High Priest of Moon City, wrapped in a dark brown animal skin, shook his head:

"The Lord's oracle to us is to keep watch every day, and watch if anyone comes out of the fog."

Coming out of the fog...... The ancient sun god had a premonition that a man would come out of this mist? If the fog, or on the other side of the fog, is really the "Western Continent", does this indicate that there may still be life and civilization in it?

Hearing this, Crane felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of a strange dream he had a long time ago, in which it was a world that seemed to be in the Republic of China period, and he saw the life of a person. This man studied and lived normally, and when he grew up, his teacher pushed open the door and never returned. And many years later, he also entered that door, and he succeeded, became a string of data, and became a "hidden sage"!

The "Hidden Sage" understands my Chinese and wants to communicate with me more than once...... Is He really from over there? How did He come to us? Anyone else? He couldn't help but feel the blood flow accelerate, but he also deeply recognized a fact:

Amon's father, the second-generation creator, couldn't even open this gray mist, and he needed to send someone to guard it!

But the Red Angel says that God can also open the seal here...... In other words, even in the heyday of the ancient sun god who fought and killed many ancient gods in history, he was still not as powerful as the god incarnated by the "Chaos Sea"!

Is this the power of the "essentia incarnation"?

Knowing a lot of hidden knowledge, Crane only felt a deep horror.

The Creator is like this, what will he do in the future? Sure enough, there is no such thing as "substitution", and relying on "anchors" to barely maintain oneself is not a long-term solution, and the end of people like them can only be accommodated and replaced by "essentia incarnation"?

Klein threw the gloomy conjecture out of his head for the time being.

He felt as if a small voice in his heart was telling him, "That's it, that's how you end, there is no such thing as the real Creator told you...... But Klein gritted his teeth and threw the voice out.

Now, it's not stupid to think about these things again.

Didn't he already decide to gain power? Only strength can allow you to do what you want to do, protect the people you want to protect, the price of gaining power will not be too much, it's just yourself!

Crane quickly adjusted his mind like a broken jar, and then looked at the seal in front of him.

If you want to open this, do you rely on the person or brute force? Or is there a need for a specific way to get through this invisible barrier? But none of this has anything to do with me at the moment. If there are really people and civilizations in the "Western Continent", then I must take a look...... Klein looked at the High Priest of Moon City who had obvious furrows on his face, and said quietly:

"I don't think I have introduced myself yet."

"I'm an oracle of the Fool, and I've met with the exploration team of Moon City before, and helped them heal the deformities on their bodies."

Hearing this, Moon City High Priest Nim suddenly found it a little difficult to keep calm, and his eyes of the same color as his long hair showed obvious joy and expectation, but he seemed to have some gains and losses, so he didn't take the initiative to speak, waiting for Klein to continue.

"Don't doubt it."

Crane nodded, he wanted to speak directly, but he felt that speaking to the High Priest would certainly need to be more serious than before.

So he recalled what the Aurora Society had been like when they were preaching, and then used the "clown" potion to control the subtle facial expressions, selectively studied the oracles, and said in a very serious, slightly fanatical, and proud tone:

"I have come here to fulfill my Lord's promise, to pass on the light of the 'fool', and to lead you out of here."

"Get out of here......"

The high priest's expression was shaken, he never imagined that salvation would come so quickly!

It had only been more than a hundred days and nights since the day he had plucked up the courage to pray to the "fools"!

It's too fast, it's too fast—can newborn children not only see the sun and eat clean food, but also go to the outside world, to live in a heavenly world without monsters and pain?

Compared to the Creator who does not answer prayers and ignores the suffering of Moon City, this being who does his word is more like a god!

The High Priest's hands trembled slightly.

But after a few seconds, he put away his gaffe and nodded, his throat a little thirsty, and his eyes were brighter than ever:

"Praise be to the great 'fools'!"

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your generosity, thank you for sending once again a noble oracle to give us direction for the future......"

But when he had finished speaking, the High Priest's expression changed a little more serious, and he could not see the depth of the other two, but he had already decided that this young man in strange clothes and with a grim face was the real oracle, so he said solemnly to Gelman Sparrow:

"Venerable oracle, there is one thing that I think is necessary to inform you in advance."

Klein, of course, would not refuse: "What's the matter?" ”

"The Creator is us, the faith that has been passed down from generation to generation, has transcended the meaning of faith itself, and although He has never answered us or helped us, the Great Lord is still the bond that binds us together."

The High Priest carefully observed the expression of the "Fool's" oracle as he pondered his words.

Klein looked at the high priest in silence, the other party's humble look, he had seen it too many times as a "fool".

"In Moon City, there is still no conversion to the existence of 'fools'."

For the sake of his own people, the high priest stubbornly said: "Many of us feel that our lives are now like the kingdom of heaven, and we do not want to convert or leave the place where our ancestors lived...... Venerable oracle, are you here to save your believers, or everyone? ”

Hearing this, Klein couldn't help but think for a moment.

"Forgive me, Your Excellency High Priest."

"No, no." Nimes said quickly.

Klein was stunned by the other party's caution and enthusiasm for a moment, and after a second, he picked up his topic: "The mushrooms that Moon City uses to purify the water source and remove the toxins from the monster's flesh are all done by the mushrooms provided by Mr. 'Fool', right?" ”

“…… Yes. ”

"Those mushrooms can't be cultivated in the Eastern Continent, so they can only be sent in by Mr. 'Fool'."

Klein had tried his best to make his tone as strange as possible, but combined with the content of his words, it still sounded like he was asking the teacher: "Mr. 'Fool' wants to provide you with a better environment, there is plenty of safe food to eat outside, and you don't need these mushrooms...... If that part of the people still wants to stay here, do you want Mr. Fool to continue to send mushrooms to maintain their lives? ”

The high priest's cold sweat was about to fall.

There are not many people who want to stay in the Eastern Continent, and people now trust the new god "Fool" from outside this continent, and are willing to follow in the footsteps of this god to a bigger and better world. Besides, if it weren't for those magical mushrooms provided by the "fools", these people would have to continue to eat the flesh of the monsters, and the toxins would accumulate again, and they would die out in a short time.

Klein didn't speak, of course he had his own selfishness.

While it's not hard to continue sending mushrooms to people who want to stay in Godforsaken Lands, he also wants people who have never seen the real world to live a normal life - beyond that, his selfish desire is that these people can become believers in the "fools".

Even though he realized that victory and replacement were impossible, he was still unwilling to be killed like this.

"I will, go and persuade them again."

The High Priest sighed, and then he asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Noble oracle, may I ask if the sun has risen now, is it proof...... Our Lord, the great Sun God, is also in the outside world? ”

"Yes and no."

Crane felt that explaining to them the series of evolutionary relationships between the "ancient sun god", the "true creator", and the "god" was also a bit complicated, so he briefly introduced it in a kind of divine tone:

"The kings betrayed the being, and blood, anger, filth, and shadow began to flow through the land, and great calamity began."

Nim's pupils dilated slightly, as if to absorb more light to see the world in front of him.

With difficulty, he asked, trying to suppress something:

"You mean, the Lord has fallen because of this?"

"Not only did it fall, but the flesh and blood were eaten by the betrayers, and the land was cursed for it." Crane relied on himself in God's forsaken land to speak this boldly.

He did not deliberately distinguish between the Amon brothers and the other six angel kings, intending to make the inhabitants of Moon City think that all the angel kings were traitors, so that they would not be deceived by Amon in the future.

"But ......," the high priest of Nimes still couldn't believe it, "the sun has risen again!" We also heard the Lord's oracle! ”

"He has indeed returned."

Crane looked at him deeply, and then cruelly dispelled the last glimmer of hope in the devout believer's heart: "But the return is no longer the Creator you know. ”

"Entrusting you to my lord 'fools' is His last will."

Klein could have briefly explained "God" and told them that some older being had taken over the Creator's body, but there were too many similarities between God and the Creator's behavior, and after reading the ancient records of the Aurora Society, even Crane himself sometimes couldn't tell whether some of the countryman's actions were from the heart or were affected.

Therefore, he did not say much, and used the shortest words to arouse the most imagination.

Hearing Gelman Sparrow's words, the body of Nim, the High Priest of Moon City, shook slightly, and his face full of ravines instantly turned gray.

The faces of the extraordinary people behind him also changed, as if they had suffered an extremely serious blow, and some even had direct signs of losing control.

Seeing this, Crane reached out again and dragged the "Life Staff" from the void, causing it to fly out under the impetus of the air, and accurately touched the target.

The signs of the extraordinary man's loss of control disappeared immediately, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, as if he had just been born with a serious illness.

As Klein lifted the maintenance of the historical projection, the "Life Staff" quickly faded, and the extraordinary people of Moon City finally broke free from the "bad news" just now, some were full of suspicion and didn't want to believe it, some cried in low voices, and some turned their confused eyes to Gelman. Sparrow, it seems, is the last hope.

The High Priestess Nim had closed his eyes at some point, and after two or three seconds, he opened them again, and looked at Gelman Sparrow and said:

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

In less than a minute, his whole person seemed to be ten or twenty years old, and his body revealed a sense of decay and decadence, but it was not completely hopeless, as if a tree had rotted, but it began to give birth to new hope and new life.

Crane turned his head to look at the eternal gray mist behind him, then looked at the high priest, and asked softly:

"Will you tell the people of Moon City the truth?"

The High Priest nodded dejectedly and smiled bitterly, "Venerable Oracle, your words are the best persuasion for them to convert. ”

"Before that, we were all dreaming."

"I dream that after I go to the outside world, I can once again bathe in the light of the great sun god, the Lord who created everything......"

At this moment, the high priest of Nimes only felt that such a truth was the biggest blow to them.

He seemed to have forgotten that the person in front of him was the oracle of the "fool", so he said the words "I thought I would be able to convert when I went outside". Although the "fools" sent salvation, they also believed with gratitude, and after all, there was no way to cut off the faith and spiritual symbols handed down from their ancestors in such a short period of time.

Believing in two gods at the same time was the best they could think of.

Crane pursed his lips, he looked at the devout follower of the Creator in front of him, and seemed to understand a little why Amon was the first to parasitize him, and let him continue to live without knowing anything after parasitism.

"Tolerance of Mythical Creatures, O ......"

He had mixed feelings for some reason, but he didn't approve of Amon's actions because of this.

Because, if it were him, he would never do such a thing as parasitizing all those who were converted in order to survive, or even killing them.
