A wilderness in the distance outside Silver City.

Colin Iliad went out on an excuse to go to a clearing in the afternoon, bringing with him the remnants of the powerful and extraordinary creatures he had prepared and hunted alone, as well as the potion materials of the "Silver Knight".

After setting up the ritual in the clearing and placing the remains of the six powerful creatures he had hunted in the right place, Colin Iliad began to concoct potions.

When these things were done, the chief of the Silver City closed his eyes, lowered his head, and recited in the Giant language:

"Wandering Heroic Spirits, Dependents of the True Creator, Eyes Gazing at Destiny......"

Soon after the recitation, Colin Iliad once again saw the illusory river of fate.

The conceptual river is coiled, like a giant snake that joins each other, the river flows slowly and calmly, and every drop of water is the ongoing destiny of a living being. The sound of water approached, and the silver-white thread of fate enveloped the "demon hunter".

The blessing of the "King of Angels" is still unattainable.

Colin Iliad accepted all this with a calm expression, ready for a long time.

The ritual began, and he stepped forward, picked up the Silver Knight potion, and poured it into his mouth.

Silently, the "Demon Hunter's" body swelled and turned into a giant several meters tall with a gray-blue background, a blue-black knot, and a dark crack on his forehead.

Every inch of this giant contains indescribable mysterious and majestic terrifying power, except for the head that still retains the appearance of a human, the rest is close to the mythical creature, exuding a strange spiritual influence.

In the next second, Colin Iliad's head seemed to be suffering from hypochondriasis, and the whole thing was sunken inward, with the dark gap as the core, slowly wriggling, as if to form a nebula vortex.

This kind of pain made it difficult for the chief of Silver City, the "demon hunter" who had killed many powerful creatures, to contain it, and let out a burst of howls that made the heads of ordinary creatures almost crack and their minds were extremely confused.

If Colin Iliad hadn't come to the wilderness outside the city beforehand, there would have been many extraordinary people who would have lost control directly.

The remains of the six powerful creatures in different locations of the ritual floated under the pull of an invisible force, swirling around the mutating Colin Iliad, and with the help of some mysterious connection, awakening some of the memories of the top "demon hunter".

It was the experience of hunting down a "devil", it was the painful attack of the former chief with his own hands, it was the life of defeating powerful monsters again and again.

These manifest in the altar like a scroll of paintings, sometimes blending into Colin. The Iliad, who pulled out from time to time, helped him orient himself and maintain a certain level of sobriety in the midst of extreme pain and change.

It was only then that Colin Iliad understood what the essence of this ritual was:

As a Sequence 4 "Demon Hunter", the hunt of each powerful creature is a baptism of battle infused with a strong spirit that leaves a deep imprint on his life.

With the help of the imprint of these strong spirits, he was able to orient himself after taking the potion and not get lost in pain and madness.

This makes Colin. The Iliad remembered a name recorded in some of the texts of the Silver City:

"Anchor"!

By the time of sequence 3, it is already considered a deity in a certain sense, and it can respond to prayers within a certain range, so it needs a certain anchor.

Because it is not yet at the angelic level, the anchor is not necessarily a believer, and can be replaced by something else, such as those distinct, occult imprints in life.

In the awakened memory, Colin Iliad regained his self-awareness, felt his body again, and grasped its changes.

Immediately afterward, cascading wings of illusory light grew from behind him, which combined with the surrounding "picture scrolls" and continued to shrink inward. The Iliad's body collapsed into a sturdy, ornate set of silver armor with no weight.

- After the "Demon Hunter" is promoted to the "Silver Knight", due to the different blessings of the gods, there will be a small difference between them, the previous leader of the "Court Stalker", the "Light Slayer" Mirgungan received the blessing from the Giant King, so the ability of the "Silver Knight" field is a little stronger in all aspects.

Colin Iliad occasionally allows his cohesive, "teleportable" "silver and white sword" to change randomly, preferentially, and unpredictably when attacking.

In addition, when "mercuryized", he can also gain a certain speciality.

As the silver armor finally took shape, Colin. The Iliad has completed his promotion, and except for the head that has not yet grown vertical one-eyed, it is already equivalent to a mythical creature.

At this moment, he raised his right hand and waved it to the side.

On a distant hill, a silver glow erupted out of thin air, tearing through everything around it, splitting the hill in half.

In the Silver City, Ulorius quietly looked at the silver light that flickered in the distance, not knowing what to think.

……

Beside the quietly burning bonfire, Klein, who had sent away the "visitors" of Moon City, couldn't help but think of that "Chernobyl".

It was the first time he had heard a clear, even in the past, a word that was so explicit in the world that it gave him a palpable sense of confusion. And he doesn't have to think about this word to know, it must have something to do with the ancient sun god.

At the same time, at the same time as he heard the word, Crane's spiritual consciousness was once again struck by the soothsayer's instinct that there might be buried the history he wanted to explore, as well as clues to many things.

In the midst of his thoughts, Klein suddenly felt the urge to explore Chernobyl.

This is not an impulse, in addition to saving people, coming to the Eastern Continent is to explore history, and exploring the history of the old era is of course one of the purposes, it is what he has always wanted to do, but for various reasons, he did not immediately put it into practice.

Even if Amon had been watching my movements, he wouldn't have imagined that I would suddenly be in Chernobyl as I went east...... Amon's main focus must have been on the last of the extraordinary properties of the Time Worm, and then the preparation ceremony, the main body should have never come down after binding to the Source Castle...... Well, He's a very patient angel king, and I can't say that He won't do anything...... Klein analyzed the current situation and decided to give it a try to the images in the pores of history.

But it was the first time he had heard of a place name that belonged entirely to the Old Era, and he needed to gather more information before he could go.

It just so happened that there was a ready-made secret existence around him.

I don't know who it is, but He can communicate and answer questions, and that's enough.

"What is Chernobyl?" Klein asked.

"Chernobyl?"

The Lord of the Blighted looked at Klein, who took the initiative to talk to him, with some surprise, and said while breaking the pure black mushroom in his hand:

"Although I didn't go from that side when I came, there is one ruin in this land, and there are other ruins near that Chernobyl...... But Chernobyl is now also the place of God, the junction of the 'Sea of Chaos' and the earth. If you want to go there, aren't you afraid that a wave from the Chaos Sea will come and smash you to pieces? ”

Klein never let go of any occult knowledge that could be obtained, not to mention that these interdivine relationships are quite interesting:

"Their relationship is so bad that they get beaten whenever I get close?"

"I don't know them very well, so I can't guarantee that they are that bad, but they are definitely not good." The outer god tore the pure black mushroom in his hand into small pieces the size of a fingernail, and simply did things to pass the time, "To go to Chernobyl, you have to go north, Medich should know where Chernobyl is, if you want to go, just follow him, but I don't think he will really take you there." ”

Medici knows? Well, the Eastern Continent belonged to the ancient sun god before, and the ancient sun god must have inspected there, and it is not surprising that Medici knows it...... He didn't tell me that it was probably because of "God's" will that he was worried that I would be in danger there......

Thinking about it, Klein suddenly noticed a problem.

"It seems that the ancient sun god became a god very early?"

The outer god paused in fiddling with the mushroom, and said with some reluctance, "Why do you keep asking me?" It really doesn't cost to talk to me, but I don't have to answer every question you have. ”

The first half of the sentence made Klein's heart jump inexplicably, but the second half of the sentence made him relax - it is normal to have a little temper of his own, which is a good thing. Just as Medici helped him for the orders of the true Creator, Hermes also helped these survivors of the Eastern Continent, and if the other party answers your questions and requests, then it is Klein who should be worried.

"What do I need to do to get an answer to this question?" Klein asked politely.

The outer god looked at him suspiciously:

“…… No, it doesn't take anything, you're right, the ancient sun god has been a god for a long time, and then what he did was like the silver city and the moon city recorded, killing the old gods and killing the leaders of extraordinary creatures who persecuted humans. ”

"The ancient sun god seems to have been the true god of the dual path very early?"

Klein thought that his promotion speed was already fast, but he still didn't think about the multi-path thing at all: "In the first and second eras, many of the old gods were mixed paths, chaotic and crazy, how did he find that his path would not invite madness?" ”

The outer god had an urge to look up at the sun, and he did raise his head, and after looking at the sun in the sky for a moment, he said:

"He — it didn't have that process. Well, He didn't have the process of becoming a god. ”

It was indeed a very early discovery that multiple pathways could coexist, but the discovery that "it can coexist and become the right path for the past by accommodating essentia" was already after having "omniscience" and a certain degree of integration with God's memory.

In order to be able to open up the correct and safe path to godhood in the extraordinary world, the ancient sun god received a lot of God's memories and used the authority of "omniscience" many times, which made the relationship between him and God more difficult to solve, and there would not be much problem when the two became one.

"Have you heard of any of the true gods of the 'sun' path in the mythology of the First and Second Ages?"

This...... In the ancient gods, it seems that there was really no "sun"?

Klein quickly recalled the history of Silver City, and found a misunderstanding that he had always ignored on the spot - the ancient sun god was born out of thin air, and the subsequent "reclaiming authority" obviously did not include "sun" and "hanging man". And before Him, there was no god of this authority, so much so that "Sun God" became a special designation!

If not, where is the three-part sequence one and uniqueness of this pathway? In the same way, where are the characteristics and uniqueness of the 'hanging man'? ”

"What do you mean......"

Klein was so surprised that he almost couldn't speak:

"You mean that the ancient sun gods were gods from the beginning? And it's a two-way true God? This—how is this possible, that even the safest promotion is in danger of being out of control and madness, from an ordinary person to a god all at once, how does he sustain himself, purposefully fight against human beings, and finally become a god who shelters humanity? Or is this God's will? ”

The outer god laughed.

"Don't think too much about human beings. God doesn't care about that. ”

"Oh my God, huh...... Depending on His mood, He sometimes chooses his favorite races, just as He chose the ancestors of the Hebrews in the Bible, and sometimes He domesticates all life equally to His own believers, allowing humans and cannibalistic creatures to coexist peacefully. ”

In other words, it was the will of the ancient sun god himself who did all this?

How did he manage to make the leap from a human to a god without losing himself?

Crane still couldn't believe it, and soon, he discovered another problem:

"Why was the ancient sun god the true god of the 'sun' and the 'hanged man' path? Why is He not the bearer of the 'veil'? ”

The outer god's face showed an expression of "what are you talking about".

"Of course He will be God in two ways." The Lord of the Withers was puzzled by Crane's rhetorical question, "God's container, how can it be possible to go to other paths, do you think that it is the same as you, can you still choose your own path after landing?" ”

“…… God's vessel? ”

The ancient sun god was a vessel of God?

Klein was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly feel that many problems were solved at once.

He is the vessel of God, who has been chosen by God for his destiny - from his path, the unprecedented "sun", the supreme god who brings light and warmth, and the ancient sun god himself may not have realized that this is fate in the early days, and he naturally integrated himself into the identity of "God of another world", using the cross, the Bible, and the honorific name "Creator of all......

These actions were not a joke at all, but pushed him deeper and deeper into the abyss of "God"!

What is it like? The similarity is simply too high......

It's basically an all-round play, or even "becoming"!

From this point of view, it is simply incredible that he can maintain his ego for a period of time in such a situation, and if I were wrapped in a "curtain" as soon as I landed, I am 12 points sure that I would never feel like Zhou Mingrui or Klein Moretti......

Hey, so my previous guess is about to change?

The souls placed on the source fort have no extraordinary characteristics and no physical body, if the ancient sun god is a god as soon as he lands, plus there is no true god who has no "sun" path before, then he is definitely not in the "source fort".

Then there is a place for one person on the source fort - who is it?

A flash of inspiration flashed through Crane's mind, but before he could catch it, he suddenly saw a figure approaching in the distance.

It was Duke, the priest of Moon City, who had gone and returned, and what was even more surprising was that he was still accompanied by the high priest Nim.

Is it coming...... Crane vaguely realized something, he maintained Gelman Sparrow's cold and flat face, did not speak, and just watched the two priests of Moon City walk to the campfire in front of him.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency."

High Priest Nim took the initiative to speak, and did a full number of salutes: "Tomorrow night, there will be a festival for the gods in Moon City, and I would like to invite you to participate in our ceremony as the high priest. ”

Crane was silent, and he had already picked up a gold coin in his hand.

He flattened the coin on his thumb, flicked it up and caught it again, and Nimes and Duke were drawn to the coin.

Klein glanced at the reverse side of the gold coin facing up, took a light breath, and nodded without any change in his expression:

"I accept your invitation."

"Tomorrow, when the sun goes down, I'll head to the city on time."

Priest Duke seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the smile on High Priest Nim's face became even brighter: "On behalf of all the people of Moon City, we are waiting for your arrival. ”

After bringing the invitation to them, the two priests turned away, as if they had not seen anyone else from the beginning to the end.

As soon as they left, Klein looked at the outer gods, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

The Outer God looked at Crane strangely again, and began to wonder when he had gained Crane's trust—thinking that the other party might just be in a hurry—he casually replied, "Yes, after you go in, you can secretly couple everyone, so that you can kill all Amun, and you can also get a secret puppet city that is convenient for playing and preparing for the promotion ceremony." ”

"I would never do that."

"Then aren't you just going to deliver food to Amon?"

Klein had that "Amon knew I wasn't going to do that, that's why he called me."

Although the Outer God's facial expression language recognition system is not yet fully operational, he discovered Amon's purpose by comparing the personalities of the two sides.

“…… Are you really looking for a suggestion? ”

"Yes."

The outer god scratched his head, and for the first time he saw this: "I don't know, why don't you ask God." ”

——————

Richard grabbed a letter from his rudimentary kingdom, opened it and looked at it, then smiled and threw it to Barranca on the table:

"Look, it's a great thing, Sharon is willing to be a teacher for the children in the village!"

Barranca took the letter and glanced at it twice, but he was not as happy as Richard: "This matter is still worthy of a special report by Ye Zid?" Sharon's performance in the village is not very good, a little worse than Marić, is this kind of life really educational for her? ”

"She's willing to be a teacher, isn't this an earth-shattering change?" Richard was in a very good mood, "I can't wait to tell Renette the good news, I think he should be proud of his students in that regard." ”

"I can't see it." Barranca complained, "Our princess has never asked about the world, and she may feel that she has lost her identity." ”

"How can I lose my identity, I have already gone to a poor mountain village to teach."

Richard's tone was relaxed, and his expression was relaxed: "Sharon wants credit, I think I can." It's better to do this, promise her, by the way, let the village also build a small school, classes a few days a week, and attract the children from the surrounding villages, but Sharon must be involved in building a house. ”

Barranca thought about it seriously:

"I can't imagine Sharon chopping wood and churning cement."

"She'll do it." Richard's attitude is optimistic, "Who would refuse to do something useful for their children?" ”
