733

Seeing the team of seven or eight people gradually approaching their positions, most of them wearing various styles of monocles, Crane's expression quickly became difficult to see.

He opened his mouth, then paused for two seconds and asked:

"When did Moon City start to create this special ornament?"

The Outer God is comfortably studying a completely black mushroom, which is used to absorb and strip toxins is inedible, and it is not even recommended to touch it directly with the skin, but it is an interesting subject of study. Although he had already read the experiment report, the mid-term checklist, and the summary report that Frank had sacrificed to him, he didn't mind touching and studying these interesting mushrooms himself.

These things are indeed poisonous, but what is the point of a dead human shell that has no internal organs?

His vessel is now less than 1.8 meters tall and weighs only 20 kilograms, and the only thing that can be lighter than Him under the same conditions is the mummy of the Highlands.

"Accessories? Oh...... Those things that are put on the eyes? ”

It took about five seconds for the outer gods to realize that Crane was talking to him. Thinking of his own persona, he honestly said:

"I don't know when it became popular, I wasn't in the city during this time."

"If you have any questions, I think, the high priest should know the answer."

Hearing this, Klein frowned and looked at him with an inquiring look, and he was studying the mushroom and didn't notice.

He cut through the skin of the pure black mushroom with his fingernails and examined the inside of the mushroom, which had been completely damaged by the toxin. If you drain all the toxins on the entire monster with more than a dozen mushrooms, these mushrooms must contain amazing toxins, but the essence of these toxins is actually a curse...... The last thing God forsaken is curses, and He knows curses too well to play with them. Previously, Frank was provided with at least five different types of mushroom improvement directions, but unfortunately Frank failed to do any of them due to his own ability limitations.

He remembered that Frank also went to his captain to apply for a promotion, and the captain said that the potion formula of the "cultivator" was monopolized by the Mother Earth God Church, and it was not easy to find it in the wild, so you go back and wait, if it is fast, it should be fruitful within ten years.

Frank had to give up for the time being.

Having studied enough of the black mushroom in his hand, he snapped his fingers, and the toxin inside the mushroom was transferred to one of his fingers in the form of a curse, which suddenly turned black and began to rot, and the mushroom turned back to the milky white that had never been used.

Then he shoved the curse back and picked up some mushrooms from the ground and secretly put them in his pocket.

Crane catches up on the strange behavior of this strange human who calls himself "Leah" and comes up with a strange guess.

A group of Amon in the distance, no, the people of Moon City approached.

Based on their appearances alone, Klein couldn't tell if these people were parasitic or not. After all, the high priests all said that Moon City had only begun to circulate such ornaments, and according to Hermes's judgment, the dreams of the people here were basically normal, and there were no signs of being parasitized on a large scale.

The leader pinched his right eye socket a little nervously when he saw the expressionless divine envoy, and suddenly saw that the expression of the divine envoy became even more vicious.

Doesn't it mean that this is something that "fools" love?

He felt overwhelmed.

The High Priest, who had already met with Crane yesterday, stepped up at the right time, and although he wondered why the "Messenger of the Fool" had such a subtle expression on the "Symbol of the Fool", he sensibly did not ask.

Nimes thought for a moment and replied in place of the others:

"We want to hear the teachings of your Lord first and feel His radiance."

Although he has been believing in the "Fool" for several months, Moon City does not have a figure like Derrick who can serve as a bond, and the subsequent mission depends on the wave of favor and the great deeds of the real creator who came here before.

With gratitude, Tsukijo set up churches and festivals for the "Fools", and also received regular food from the "Fools", but there was not much communication other than that, and the "Fools" had not yet compiled their own origins, let alone given them holy scriptures.

Now that their expectations of the ancient sun god have been shattered, they have no choice but to believe in the "fool", and naturally they need to learn from this divine envoy again, so as to enrich the content of the future holy scriptures and facilitate their return to preach.

Crane bowed his head slightly, and while turning the barbecue stick he summoned from the hole in history, he spoke:

"You can sit down and listen."

When the seven or eight Moon City residents sat down on the opposite side of the bonfire, he said with a solemn expression:

"I came from the 'Court of the Giants', and the 'Angel of Destiny' brought me here."

As he spoke, he glanced at his side out of the corner of his eye, only to see that the guy who was behaving strangely had walked to the other side of the campfire at some point, and sat with the team of Moon City waiting for the mission, looking very harmonious.

It was a term familiar to the inhabitants of Moontown, and their spirits lifted as they turned their attention away from the things burning on the campfire and turned to Gelman. Jack sparrow.

"Ulorius...... Why did He bring you in? ”

The Lord of the Blighted began to ponder this question with some curiosity: "Urorius has chosen God, and you are walking on this land with such a mysterious fate, and he will let you in, is it for Medici's sake?" ”

A resident of Moon City wearing a monocle sitting beside him suddenly turned his head slightly without moving, as if sensing something, but then he frowned and turned his head back, as if he didn't even see someone sitting next to him.

This little episode went unnoticed by anyone.

Next, Crane described the state of Silver City and the situation outside the Cursed Lands as before, and talked about the ruins of the city-state he had seen along the way.

Hearing this, the residents of Moon City sometimes sighed, sometimes yearned, sometimes unbelievable, sometimes empathetic, and uncontrollable.

In the middle of speaking, Crane suddenly stopped, withdrew the iron-black long stick in his hand, brought it to his mouth, and bit down a mushroom.

The rich juice then poured out, with a slightly hot feeling, baptizing his mouth.

Klein closed his eyes in contentment, and for a few months the throats of the city's inhabitants rolled unconsciously. Telling a story to a group of "Amon" made Klein, who was already extremely psychologically strong, feel very uncomfortable, but fortunately, the delicious taste of mushrooms was real.

There seemed to be only three swallowing sounds just now......

Klein's heart sank slightly.

The instinctive reaction of the human body is a wonderful thing, the people of Moon City have eaten mushrooms and love mushrooms, and it is not yet lunch time, so they will definitely react to Crane's act of eating mushrooms, and Amon may not have these instinctive reactions - of course, this is not certain.

If his temptation this time is reliable, then only three of the first ten people are not Amun.

Three normal Moon City residents were surrounded by a group of Amon who played the role of their own compatriots, and it was too nerve-wracking.

"You can eat together, too." Klein greeted.

Without waiting for the people of Moon City to respond, he picked up the topic he had interrupted and continued to talk until he heard the voice of Mr. Fool reciting the honorific name of Mr. "Fool" coming from the gray mist.

Seeing that the high priest Nim was attentive to hearing and was greatly moved, Klein considered and spoke:

"There are many ways to make the gray mist react, but they all have something to do with my lord."

This is a reasonable guess for him, because there is more than one person who is suspended, and there is more than one way to enter the gray mist, if Russell the Great comes here with his imitation of the mysterious silver medal, there is a high probability that this invisible barrier can also be mutated, of course, the premise may be that the emperor belongs to one of the three ways of "soothsayer", "apprentice", and "thief".

Klein carefully observed the expressions of the people, and found that the ten people in the high priest of Nim behaved most normally, and the people wearing monocles were some thoughtful, some were touched, and some touched their chins and pinched their eyes, as Amon should be.

And the strange guy didn't show anything unusual, and listened to him with his cheeks crossed, as if he was still looking forward to what was going on.

Seeing that Nim and the others did not ask any questions, Klein pretended not to have seen these Amun, and said kindly:

"As far as I can see, the extraordinary path of 'Moon City' is not single."

The gray-haired Nim did not hide it, and simply responded:

"Yes, when we were selected to come to Moon City, the gods consciously made the extraordinary path comprehensive, but unfortunately, after so many years, after one disaster after another, many of the path's potion recipes and extraordinary materials have been lost."

"Which way did you go?" Crane watched as the residents of Moon City used monster bones to roast mushrooms, and asked casually.

"I'm the 'Night Watchman.'" Nim said calmly.

Sequence 4 "Night Watch" of the "Night" pathway? Klein bowed his head slightly, and instead asked:

"Has anything unusual happened near this gray mist?"

Nimes, who had furrows on his face, thought for more than ten seconds and said:

"Yes."

Klein's heart moved, and he asked calmly on this topic:

"What kind of anomaly?"

Nim glanced at the fragrant mushrooms, and then pondered the words:

"A hill suddenly disappeared, leaving only a deep pit. There were no signs of an explosion in the area, and there was no dirt spilled around. ”

What's going on? A bit of a spooky scene...... Crane asked, without any change of expression, as he tossed the mushroom roots into the fire to make them fuel:

"Did you do any further investigation?"

"Yes." Moon City High Priest Nim nodded and said, "A survey team met a demon wolf there, not a monster demon wolf that had rotted or mutated, but the original demon wolf. ”

Demon wolf? Klein didn't expect to hear such information, and his pupils changed slightly and asked:

"What does the demon wolf look like?"

Nimes unconsciously took a breath of air and said:

"It's the same as the demon wolf described in ancient texts, but it's even bigger, even if eight feet land on the ground at the same time, it's as tall as two or three people combined.

"Its coat color is not pure pitch black, it gives a dark and deep feeling, its eyes are strange, mostly pupils, black pupils, and a pinch of short gray hair on the top of its head......"

This...... Who's this? Is it the "God of Wishes" of the ancient times mentioned by the Red Angel, the dark wolf Kotal? It had traveled easternmost part of the Forsaken Lands, near the Seal, and had something to do with a mutation? If the power that made the Western Continent disappear really comes from the "Source Fort", it is normal to attract the mythical creatures corresponding to the "Miracle Master...... Klein frowned slightly and said:

"It didn't attack your investigation team?"

Crane deliberately used it instead of Him, so as not to scare the people of Moon City.

In his mind, it would be very easy for the dark demon wolf Kotal to destroy an investigation team, and it would not even cost too much to turn Moon City into his "secret puppet country", who knows, this mythical creature seems to have spared Moon City.

If it weren't for Klein's reading of the "Spirit Thread" of Nim, Ruth and others in advance and confirming their status, he would definitely suspect that the people who were talking to him at this time were just some secret puppets.

At the same time, he suddenly thought of Hermes's prophecy before leaving, to the effect that "the potion recipe and ritual clues he was looking for would be answered in the Godforsaken Lands", could it be that the appearance of the "God of Wishes" was the answer? How to get it? Arrest Him? Make a wish to Him and let Him tell me about the ceremony of promotion?

Klein couldn't turn a corner for a moment.

"No, it left in a hurry." The High Priest of Moon City, Nim, said truthfully.

Leaving in a hurry? Well, is this, the "God of Wishes" such a character?

Probably not, I remember that Silver City has explored more than one secret puppet city, and the dark demon wolf Kotal is definitely not going to let go of the high-ranking human beings who witness him...... What, then, was it that frightened Him into fleeing so hastily that he didn't even care about those who saw him...... Or is there something special about the people of Moon City who are guarded here by the ancient sun god oracle, and if it is not necessary, the dark demon wolf does not want to attack them? Klein continued to ask without any change in his voice:

"Did it leave any traces?"

"Nope." Nim shook his head firmly, "We didn't find anything unusual except that the hill turned into a deep pit. ”

Klein's thoughts raced, and he tried to ask from another angle:

"When did this happen?"

The more he knows about an event or an object in the past, the more he can touch it in the fog of history.

Nimes thought back for a moment:

"A year, five months, ten days ago."

He quickly explained:

"There are so few things worth documenting, and I'm impressed."

5 months and 10 days ago...... The current date is November 8, 1350, and the date backwards is June 28, 1349...... This...... Crane's right hand suddenly shook slightly.

His pupils, his expression, were normal, but this was the result of the deliberate control of the "Joker".

He remembered very well that June 28, 1349 was the day he "crossed" over and became Klein Moretti, and it was the day he repeated the transshipment ceremony and entered the "Source Fort" in the true sense!

……

Listening to it, he wandered and began to think about the future of mankind, the truth of the universe, the true meaning of the convergence between paths, and when this cycle would end, until he heard the word "demon wolf" and regained his attention, and he listened carefully to Nim's description of the demon wolf, and confirmed that it was the guy he had seen, the bastard who had been walking around for a day.

"How did you come two years ago? Am I looking at history and the future wrong? No, He will be here in the future, not for long. ”

"Klein's expression is a little strange." His attention was quickly drawn away again, and he curiously glanced at Klein, who was talking to the High Priest of Nimes, and caught the shock that flashed on the other person's face and heart, "Is there anything special about this point in time?" ”

Five months and ten days ago, in June 1349? The outer god touched his chin, if his record was correct, this time should have been a few months before Edward was preparing for the true creator's descent ceremony, and more than two months later, the descent ceremony was successfully held, allowing the true creator to take a bite of his own curse, and landed in a normal state.

What is special about this point in time for Klein?

Oh, Klein should already have the Source Fort at that time, and it has something to do with the Source Fort?

There was no more information, and he couldn't keep thinking about it.

At this time, Klein was still talking to the High Priest:

"Has anything like this happened in the last two or three thousand years?"

"Nope." Nimes gave a very definite answer.

"Two hundred and eight years ago, was there anything special?" Klein asked.

That was the time when Russell the Great "crossed" into this world.

Nim hesitated for two seconds and said, "I can't tell you the exact answer, I need to go back and look at the corresponding records." Fortunately, the materials and documents of the last 300 years have not been damaged. ”

Speaking of which, he added:

"My limited impression tells me that there should be nothing special."

If that's the case, then the source of the mutation here and the appearance of the dark demon wolf was that I entered the gray mist and bound the "Source Fort" to myself? Klein bowed his head slightly, didn't ask any more questions, and said simply:

"Tell me where that pit is."

TBC

——————

The resident of Moon City, who had a huge sarcoma on his neck, whispered, "He seems to have thought of something, is he going to steal his thoughts?" ”

The woman sitting next to him shook her head:

"We only have Sequence 4 at the highest, and he will find out when he steals. It's okay to find only one of you, but if he notices us, we'll lose these clones for nothing. ”

"He probably won't rush into us, because he can't use the ritual to expel us right now." Amun, who spoke at first, habitually reached out and pinched his right eye socket, and then remembered that he didn't go out with a monocle, "If he does it, it will be equivalent to killing our parasitic object." In addition, we have ten of them here, and he has no helpers. If there is a real conflict, he may not be able to win. ”

"Don't you want to see his expression of despair and struggle when he discovers the truth but is powerless and helpless? I think that must be interesting. ”

Several doppelgangers sitting around were obviously moved, and they looked at each other, a little eager to try.

"So, how do we scare him?" The female resident did not resist the temptation of the other Amun either, of course, if she had been steadfast in her resistance to the others, then she would have been ostracized by the Amuns and even forcibly fused.

"He's going there soon, we can take advantage of him letting his guard down......"

One Amon whispered halfway through his words, when he suddenly froze, he looked around and stared wide-eyed at the sarcoma clone on his neck:

"You just said that there are ten doppelgangers here?"

"I've only seen nine!"

"How can there be only nine, and you can't digest the fraudster against yourself." The doppelganger said nonchalantly, and he was about to specify the number of doppelgangers, when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, only to see a human who seemed to suddenly appear in the field of vision of Amun patted him.

"What are you talking about?"

The outer god ripped off the monocle from the face of the doppelganger next to him and placed it on his right eye:

"Listen to me too."
