Chapter 472: A Little Waywardness

765

The open gray-blue gate and the stone staircase leading down to a railing made of stone pillars.

Beyond the railing was a diffuse orange cloud, and in the distance of the cloud was a gently surging dark blue with no end in sight, a dark blue that made a rattling sound.

Ocean.

The dark blue, gently surging, and boundless sea, as if it contained endless life, was presented in the eyes of the members of the Silver City exploration team, no longer a record in ancient books, nor a combination of words in the mouth of an outsider.

Once again, the golden sea and the ubiquitous light caught Colin and Lovia's eyes.

It is no longer far away, it is already possible to reach it.

As members of the previous exploration team, this was not the first time they had seen this picture, but they were still deeply shocked and subconsciously held their breath.

Crane didn't disturb the thoughts of the two demigods of Silver City, but just walked out of this door first, looked around, and began to look for the people of the two cities.

That's nearly 20,000 people, and according to Klein's most intuitive impression, this is the entire number of students and teachers in a middle school, and it takes at least a plastic playground with a 400-meter circular track to fit it.

The coordinates given by the Hidden Sage are also an area, and as far as the eye can see, there is only an endless beach outside, Klein probably glanced for a while before retracting his gaze, and decided to walk along the remnants of the outer wall of the "Giant's Court", looking for it as he went.

"I don't know what happened during this time for the people of Silver City and Moon City......"

If the Hidden Sage comes with a memory, then don't worry. But if they felt that they had "suddenly" arrived outside of the Giant's Court, and had no memory, then he would have to make up the reason from now on...... Klein pondered whether he should tell the truth or make up some semi-documentary lie that would make the "Fool" even more terrifying.

"Where will you settle them when you go out?"

"More than 20,000 people, which is not a small number now, is a small town everywhere...... Do you want to find a small island at sea, or a no-man's land in the north and south continents? There must be a lot of undeveloped areas in the interior of the land, but they must be adjacent to other gods...... It's not difficult to settle 20,000 people alone, but it's hard to get 20,000 people to have matching living quarters and houses that belong to these half-giants......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Fortunately, everyone in Silver City and Moon City has a strong ability to survive, enough to build a temporary living area for themselves, well, if it weren't for the style being too eye-catching, just find a way to move the two cities out together...... It's not impossible. ”

Although the people of Moon City and Silver City can certainly start from scratch, almost all of the residents have experience in surviving and camping in the wild.

The two cities working together will certainly be able to build a living area of 20,000 people in a very short period of time - but they are now their own believers, and Klein feels that he should not be the kind of great being who will fish people out and leave them alone, at least not yet.

So he began to wonder if he could use his new authority to make things easier for believers.

"Wish-fulfillment ......"

To put it simply, the "Miracle Master" must first collect and fulfill various wishes, and then it is possible to turn the corresponding situation into reality by making a wish to himself during the battle.

Moreover, at the very beginning, Klein's wishes that could be realized were very small, and he had to accumulate step by step in order to create a "miracle", and he couldn't come as he wanted.

This also made him clearly recognize the fact that the strange light gate above the gray mist was the core of this place, the real "Source Fort", and the boundless void belonged to the space that came with the "Source Fort".

As for the old palace, the bronze table with twenty-two high-backed chairs, and the objects that Tarot members usually embodied, Klein thought was a manifestation of the power of "wish."

That is, when he wanted such a palace and a meeting place in his heart, "Source Fort" fulfilled his wish.

And since his wish is not specifically described, the "Source Fort" is a scene drawn from a similar wish in the pastβ€”Klein suspects that the ancient Greek-style palace and the ancient long table with exactly twenty-two high-backed chairs were embodied by the one who was suspected to be the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" in the first place.

"Well, if I want to make a wish to move like Kotal, the dark wolf, then I must have fulfilled many similar wishes from others, from the simple to the difficult, in advance...... There is a trick to this, I can use 'Wriggling Hunger' and 'Teleportation' to satisfy the corresponding desires, without having to start with the simplest ......."

"Maybe this is a good opportunity?"

"I could have Colin and Dyric hint at them, hint at them to make a wish to me, and then I could turn the transfer into a 'miracle' for my use by teleporting close to 20,000 small wishes at once."

It's just something that can be solved with a wave of the god's hand, but he has to do it first, and make it look like the believer takes the initiative to petition.

However, the effect of moving directly with "Miracle" is definitely faster and easier than summoning a historical projection in battle, and then using "Wriggling Hunger" or "Teleportation", and one less step may be able to save your life.

As the first person in history to use up four resurrections before becoming a "miracle master", Klein attaches great importance to life-saving methods.

It makes sense that he should do it.

Although it seemed like a win-win outcome, Klein always felt a little frustrated.

"Speaking of which, the 'Wish' ability is a bit like using an anchor, which is the 'crowd' type."

"Since the believers' perception of the gods can effectively influence the gods and become a kind of 'positioning' to help them fight against the primordial spiritual imprints within the extraordinary characteristics, the similar desires of different spiritual beings can indeed help me to create 'miracles.'"

"This may have something to do with the collective subconscious ocean, not scientific enough, but occult enough ......" After figuring out the situation of the "wish" ability, Klein also had a preliminary idea of how to play the "miracle master".

It is to walk in the real world, let different people witness the "miracle", and fulfill their wishes.

"No wonder the Ebony Demon Wolf is titled 'God of Wishes'...... When this kind of belief spreads, many people say their wishes through prayer, so that the 'miracle master' can respond in the air, and the role will indeed be much easier and save a lot of time. But the problem is that the name of the potion is 'miracle master', not 'god of wishes', and it needs to play the role of not a god, and there is still a big deviation between the two......"

Klein thought about himself for a moment, imagining what it would be like to walk the earth as a "miracle worker."

When the time comes, will we define ourselves as "the oracle of the fool" or "the embodiment of the fool walking on the earth"?

Just as he was thinking, Klein caught a glimpse of Colin and Lovia walking through the door, admiring the sea for a while on the handrail terrace, and then down the steps, closer to the direction he was.

"Well, that's a luxury annoyance, too."

"Now I am a god with a fixed group of believers, and I am the descendant of such a striking half-giant. As a fool, you must first examine them carefully and take responsibility for them. ”

Thinking of everyone's height, Mr. "Fool", who had just reached the average height of minors in Silver City, fell into deep thought.

Colin stopped two meters in front of Klein, and when he saw that the messenger was deep in thought, he didn't speak immediately.

After half a minute, Klein finished his thoughts, nodded to Colin and Lovia, and smiled:

"Let's go find them."

"I've always regretted not being able to say hello to Derick in Silver City. Thankfully, we've all survived now. ”

Colin's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he couldn't contain his excitement, and he stared at the sea of rippling golden patches for a few seconds before he said:

"Okay."

Klein turned around and walked along the towering walls of the "Giant's Court" not far away.

In this matter, he did not plan to use "divination" or "teleportation" to directly send the entire self and others to the people of Silver City, but walked slowly and quietly with the two demigods of Silver City on his legs, walking on this sun-soaked beach, leaving long footprints here, remembering what the "dawn" finally found in Silver City after more than 2,000 years of perseverance and sacrifice.

Sand, sand, only the soft sound of sand being trampled.

Colin and Lovia were a little unaccustomed to the touch of a foot deep and shallow, but they quickly got used to the soft sand.

Crane turned his head and looked at the faΓ§ade of the "Giant Court", which had become mostly in ruins.

Thinking of the imitation of the "Twilight Giant Palace" in the capital of the Fusak Empire, and thinking of the giants who went to sea from generation to generation to find their dream hometown, he was a little silent and a little sad.

Is there really a longing for hometown in the blood?

Or, it's not just the giants who go to the Northern Continent who miss their homeland, but also the eldest son of the Giant King, the "God of War".

Let's go. He said to himself, it's time to go, and looked away.

This is the home of giants, not mine.

……

Darek woke up.

There was no special prefix, he just woke up, as if he had woken up from a dream, and suddenly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he first felt confused, and then suddenly tensed up like a cat that had been stepped on its tail.

In the end, he remembered that almost everyone in the Silver City had already put on a monocle, and all of them had become parasites for "Amon", appearing from every corner, and still parasitizing those who had escaped. The Amuns were not in a hurry to parasitize the entire Silver City, but rather enjoyed their desperate anger at the panic and having to do something to their companions and relatives. Even though the Chief and his people who had not yet been parasitized fought and captured alive as much as possible, they were forced to the center of the city by the Amuns and had to retreat to the chapel.

And in the beginning, these Amuns appeared and preached in the name of "fools"!

And Derrick later learned that he was also parasitized, so he even helped Amon to confirm their claims and help the monocle spread.

Because in Silver City, it is no secret that Darek was parasitized by "Amon" in the middle and high-level, coupled with the various changes in Darek later, most of the people in Silver City who don't know the inside story naturally regard Amon as an oracle of the "Fool", or an incarnation.

It was this chief and the mistake that he had never found a chance to deny it publicly, that made Silver City almost destroyed!

At that point, Darik was almost desperate.

He desperately wants to pray to the "fool", but he remembers what Mr. "fool" said, "don't pray", and is in a dilemma.

He finally chose to believe in the "fool", gritted his teeth and remained silent in the face of Amon's deception and provocation, forced to witness his companions and acquaintances being parasitized one by one, and one by one falling in infighting.

Darek clenched his fists, ready to shine a ray of sunlight somewhere, but he nervously checked to the left and right - and then realized that he wasn't in the Fool's Chapel, which didn't even have a ceiling.

Not only that, there are no ceilings, no walls, no houses......

In the distance, there is a huge and heavy city wall, surrounded by the sparkling sea, this angle, as if the location of the giant's court.

It was as if in the blink of an eye, he and everyone else were all outside.

This extremely fragmented situation made Derrick's consciousness confused, and after pinching himself hard to confirm that it was not a dream, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Delik's heart:

Was it Mr. "Fool" who came to their rescue?

Transferring everyone somewhere else in an instant, not even a single Amun, this can only be the power of the gods!

Mr. "Fool" did not abandon them!

Darek was so happy that he almost jumped on the spot, and his eyes felt a little moist.

Rubbing the corners of his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand, after praising the gods he believed in several times in his heart, he rolled up his sleeves and pulled open his collar, and found that the wounds and bandages on his body were still there, which made him even more determined to think.

He quickly looked back and saw that almost all of the inhabitants of Silver City were here, including the elderly, children, and the wounded, but the dead or seriously injured and dying people that Darik had seen with his own eyes were not here.

In addition, there are many new faces that I have never seen, and the animal skin clothes they wear are the "residents of Moon City" that I would like to mention.

Everyone stood at a similar distance, their eyes closed, their breathing steady, as if they were asleep standing up, and he was the only one who didn't know why he woke up.

After a brief moment of loss, Derrick quickly picked himself up.

Mr. "Fool" is willing to help Silver City out of danger is a divine grace, and he can't ask Mr. "Fool" to do more.

After a few moments, Darik, who was staring at the sea, suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, and he turned his head sharply, just in time to see three figures approaching together from the end of his vision.

The figures of the two men were very familiar, and Derrick recognized them at a glance - it was the Chief and Elder Lovea, they were both inside Silver City when the attack happened, why did they suddenly appear in the distance? - Before he could think about it, Derrick saw in front of them a figure about as tall as himself, a young man in strange clothes, with a grim face, the fabric of the clothes unnamed, and glasses, but a double piece.

All three of them were scarred in varying degrees, as if they had just been through a bitter battle.

Darek stared at the figure, and suddenly a voice came out of his throat.

"Mr. 'World'!"

He couldn't restrain his excitement, and couldn't help but take a step forward, waved vigorously at the figure, and shouted, "Mr. 'World'!" Is that you? Did Mr. Fool ask you to help us? ”

Crane, who had walked briskly, raised his hand and responded to Derrick's call.

Seeing familiar friends, his mood quickly became a lot better, and he smiled and said in a tone that treats children:

"Yes, I'm here to help you."

"This must be the first time we've met, little 'Sun', or rather, Mr. Derick Berg?"

Although his contact with the strangers was no longer secret, in front of the chief (although Colin and Lovia were not hearing it at this time), Derrick couldn't help but blush.

"Great, great." He stepped forward and said over and over again, "Mr. 'Fool' has not abandoned us, He has not abandoned us, thank you for coming, thank you, Mr. 'World'......

As he spoke, a tear suddenly slipped from the corner of Derick's eye.

The tall young man blinked and smiled casually, "I, I'm so happy." ”

Crane rubbed his nose and whispered:

"Be of good cheer, He will not forsake you, nor will the Creator give up on you."

"It is because of their efforts that I am here and have the opportunity to open the door and help you reach the outside world."

As he spoke, Klein looked at Daric, who was wiping his face, and suddenly thought of something:

"It's outside from here, and maybe we'll be on our way soon. Darek, have you checked, is it all the people in Silver City here? ”

Derick was stunned, and whispered with some embarrassment:

"The people killed by Amon are not here."

"We, we may have to go back, because if the people of Silver City are not killed by their relatives, they will become evil spirits wandering in the city, even if they are leaving, they can't leave many evil spirits in the city to continue to destroy, right?"

Klein was stunned: According to the Hidden Sage, all people have been digitized, and there can be no corpses.

"I'll take care of that." Klein changed the subject, "So are the people parasitized by Amon here too?" ”

Derick was silent for a short time, and then said astringently:

"A lot of people aren't here, maybe because I haven't looked closely, because I see that the people of Moon City are here too."

Klein pursed his lips.

If the Hidden Sage had captured the information at that moment, or within 24 hours, then the people who had been deeply parasitized at that time, equivalent to becoming Amun, would certainly not be here. Only those who are superficially parasitic and who have not died of serious injuries will be "resurrected".

After thinking about it, Klein suddenly smiled:

"Derick, let's pray to Mr. 'Fool', do you want them to be here safe and sound?"

"Of course I hope!" Derick nodded vigorously, then said embarrassedly, "...... Isn't that not good? Mr. Fool has helped us a lot, and I can't take His mercy as a given. ”

"It's okay, Mr. 'Fool' won't mind. He had already allowed me to ask anything when I came. ”

Crane turned his head to look at Colin and Lovia and asked, "Do you want that too?" ”

The two demigods nodded unsurprised.

"So don't worry, Darik."

He turned his head back, looked at the young man in front of him, and closed his eyes:

"Everyone is safe, and that's what I want."

Colin, Lovia, and Daric followed his example, closed their eyes, and prayed to the "Fool" together.

Crane sighed softly and got his wish.

Suddenly, there were many more figures in the crowd, their shapes distorted, like clumps of flesh being shaped, and soon, they turned into nearly a hundred human figures, all of whom were deeply parasitized in Darek's memory.

In addition to this, there are also the people of Moon City, and the High Priest Nim is also among them.

At the same time, Crane's fingers moved slightly, manipulating the spirit threads of these "people", replicating their appearances according to the data that came with the potion, simulating their personalities, waiting to be "awakened" with the others.

Is this a miracle?

Klein thought.

Maybe yes to them, even though it's just a fake, just a momentary joy, Klein is willing to deceive himself like this.

TBC

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After a moment, Daerik opened his eyes and saw the serious-looking Mr. "World" in front of him suddenly smile, as if relieved by something.

"Think of it as my human willfulness."

Klein said to himself, "That's good...... That's enough. ”
