"Why, I see that the family is good, and I am busy to come to offer my courtesy."

"That's what you think, that's not what you say?"

"But you've lost even the 'secret waiter'......"

Parles couldn't help but let out a few weird laughs: "Your characteristics are gone, and you're still so serious, you're playing the air?" Digesting air? You're obviously a promotion and don't die, Charatu. You're glad that the 'Fool' is more broad-minded, and no one wants to take an unfaithful, ungodly, and promotion-minded angel like you into your ranks. ”

What angel and demigod didn't grow up listening to the myths of the gods they believed in, and were completely loyal and unconditionally obedient to the gods?

Such angels, such church extraordinaires are God's best believers and arms, like the Quaternary, a group of angels who still need God's investment to stand in line, have no faith and only have interests in their eyes, have been swept into a corner that no one cares about, just waiting for them all to die quietly.

"One thing to say, before the 'Fool' was born, I was also a strong contender for that position."

"Although I think it is also a negative idea to blame everything on fate, I also have to admit that it is their inaction that has brought fate to this point, and when the 'fool' comes, we all lose the opportunity to compete."

"Like a big fish eating a small fish, our fate is swallowed."

Zarathu poured himself another glass unhurriedly, and muttered as he drank it:

"But...... How can the heart of promotion die, I am not the same as you, Pales. ”

"I don't mean yours, but if I'm not asking for promotion, not for a long life and strength, but for family, for offspring, for love, or for family...... Then I will close my eyes peacefully and end my life as a human before everything starts to deteriorate. Moreover, Antigonus's mystical incarnation is the most comfortable and painless way for me to die. ”

"Didn't you just collapse because of the matter of Source Castle, and you began to doubt your efforts for most of your life in front of me?"

"I've had my mentality collapse many times, and Yuanbao is just one of them."

There are many people in this world who are stronger than me, more talented than me, better than my life, and even descendants who show amazing talent but fail to grow up...... It's just a collapse, if one comes, I'll give up on myself once, and I won't be promoted or lived.

When Zarathu finished speaking, and saw that Leonard's eyes were still staring out, he stopped paying attention to his old acquaintance, and asked kindly:

"Look at your reaction, is there an acquaintance of yours in it? Would you like to go down and say hello to them? ”

Their carriages are hidden on the edge of the real world and the spirit world, and the people of the Eastern Continent in the real world can't see them, but they can see them. And the group of people reached their destination, and they prayed collectively to the "fools", and then a very high being in the spirit world responded to them.

At the moment when that breath appeared, both Zarathu and Pales subconsciously silenced, waiting for the gaze of the Lord of the Spirit Realm to leave.

Immediately afterwards, they could see the whole process of a city being built out of thin air, and a great miracle came to the earth as told in mythology. Until now, Leonard's eyes could hardly take his eyes off this new huge city, and he watched the backs of the people of the Eastern Continent gradually disappearing into the city, and his heart echoed with shock for a long time.

Hearing Zarathu's words, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

He retracted his gaze: "Forget it...... This is a moment that belongs to the people of the Eastern Continent, so I still don't want to go over and join it. ”

He still didn't know the rest of the Tarot Society very well, and if he really saw it, I was afraid that both parties would feel a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll go down."

Zaratul stood up unexpectedly, and smiled at them with a rather sincere smile:

"I'm sorry, you two, I'm afraid I can't go to that city with you anymore - by the way, don't you know the name of it yet? I learned from Mr. Fool's whispers that the name of the city was 'Utopia', which means 'ideal country'. Don't worry, even if I don't follow you any further, I'll show you the way and get you to that neighborhood. ”

Zarathu took a card out of his sleeve, looked at it, and took it back.

"You're going to see a river, and if you follow it, you'll get to Utopia."

No one expected this development, and for a moment there was silence in the carriage, and Leonard heard the confused voice of Paris:

"Why?"

"Ah, that's right, I was suddenly inspired, and I felt that this should be the revelation and hint that Mr. 'Fool' gave me."

"Did you hear the oracle?" Pales's voice was even more confused, "I don't feel it at all. ”

Leonard didn't know why: "But weren't you brought here by us?" ”

"No, no oracles, no babbling." Zarathu said solemnly, "I think I should do it." You see: The remnants of the Eastern Continent have come to this new and strange land, don't they need an experienced and reliable guide and guidance? ”

The cathedral inside is still empty!

Zarathu said, reaching out and swiping his beard and face, and the gray and unkempt beard immediately turned pure white, and it was so smooth and clean as if it had just been washed. The set of coarse cloth and cloth sewn on the body, which was unaesthetic and somewhat dirty, suddenly appeared in the shape of water waves, and transformed into a set of classical robes embroidered with star charts, various mysterious symbols, and even gold thread hemming.

Seven special pendulums of different colors corresponding to the seven lights of the spiritual realm are hung from the waist, like a row of glowing gemstones.

He reached out and pulled, and the broad hood fell, covering the old face and the smiling dark eyes, revealing only a chin with a long beard.

People rely on clothes, and in just a few seconds, Zarathu has changed from an old man on the side of the road who doesn't know where he came from to a high-ranking person who is worth a lot of money when he looks at it.

In the blink of an eye, Leonard was once again presented to an unfathomable soothsayer. The occasional glance under the hood made him feel as if his thoughts and intentions had been seen through.

Although it was a bit strange to suddenly disguise himself, it was only then that Leonard finally had the real sense that "he is an angel".

"I feel it, this is my destiny, this is the direction He has given me...... I should be here to help these new voters plant up their churches, to gain a foothold, and to help them promote the name of 'fools' in the future." ”

"...... Mr. 'Fool' would think so?"

Leonard was a little understanding, but also a little unconvinced: "Doesn't this mean that our finding of you, and what happened along the way, is also in the calculation of Mr. 'Fool'?" ”

Zarathu looked at Leonard mysteriously and said the riddle: "Young man, you have to remember one thing. Sometimes they may not have the idea of the corresponding idea, but what they do is secretly driving fate to produce such a result. ”

After saying that, Zarathu looked at Pales, clenched his fists, and made a Quaternary gesture of encouragement:

"It's time for you to show stealing distance, Pales, come on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zarathu's figure suddenly disappeared from the carriage, which turned around and rushed in another direction with them.

……

"It's a big city."

Daeric kept his head up, his eyes almost glued to the brand-new houses and bright lights, and muttered to himself, "Bigger than our living quarters, or even Silver City combined......"

The half-giants have a fast journey, but fortunately, the city is also customized according to their height, even the doors of the small shops on the roadside are three meters high, and the roof of the first floor is raised to about six meters, which is completely a giant city belonging to the Fusak people.

Most of the people are resting in the spacious and sheltered area, they are already getting used to the temperature, but they are reluctant to light a fire in this new city – fortunately, every room here is as warm as spring.

In the midst of his thoughts, he walked side by side with Colin and Nim as a pathfinder and came out into the street.

For them, this is truly another world.

Although they were a little apprehensive and a little apprehensive, and they were not too accustomed to such a scene, everyone could clearly appreciate the vigorous vitality hidden in this scene.

This is like the sunshine in the heart, even if the environment is cold and the snow is falling, it can't change the yearning and expectation in the heart.

This is where we will survive, fight, and reproduce in the future? Derrick, Liavar, Candace and others subconsciously flashed similar thoughts, a little uneasy, but they did not reject it.

“…… How about we go to church first? Derick proposed.

The city was too strange to them, and there was something that even he, who had lived in the outside world, couldn't quite understand, and if he could, Derrick would have sent Mr. "The Fool" to him.

Naturally, his proposal was approved by several others, and they walked along the city's main thoroughfare towards the cathedral at the end.

Far away, they saw the huge building with black as the main body and gold and white accents.

When they pushed open the door and entered, they found a shadow on the pews in the church moving unnaturally.

Colin's hand instantly touched the sword behind his back, but the thought that this was a city of miracles given by Mr. "Fool" made him endure it again. He stopped the others behind him, exchanged glances with Waite Silmon, and asked in a low voice:

"Who is it?"

The shadow rose a little higher, and it was the man who was sitting there with his back to them standing up.

- though to the people of Godforsaken Lands, there is not much difference between standing up and not standing up.

Because it was a short old man who stood up, and although he didn't see his face, everyone saw the white beard that couldn't be ignored. The black robes flattered his figure, otherwise a man of his age would have been thinner, more rickety, and even withered.

The old man looked up and met Colin's gaze, who felt no malice.

His head bowed again, and he let out a muffled laugh:

“…… I'm here to help you get a foothold here. ”

"Also a man who serves Mr. 'Fool'."

Hearing this, Derrick reflexively wanted to deny it: because the oracle never had anything about this strange old oracle, this is a lie! He took a few steps back, made eye contact with the Chief, was ready to pray to Mr. "Fool" under the cover of the Chief at any time, and asked cautiously:

"Who are you?"

The old man's face, hidden by the hood, turned to him:

"I know a friend of yours, hehe, don't be so nervous, we met once on the road, have you forgotten?"

Friend...... Derick immediately thought of the man in the huge carriage who seemed to be Mr. "Star".

The chief also told him that the spirit creatures around the carriage were all demigod level, even half of the sequence three, so there must be an angel sitting in the carriage...... At that time, he also felt that Mr. "Star" was also unfathomable, and he actually knew an angel.

"As for who I am...... "I don't expect all of you newcomers to know about it, but you should, perhaps, know about the place of the 'Esoteric Society', right?" ”

Esoteric Order—An ancient secret organization in the outside world.

When they came to the outside world, the first thing that the people of the Eastern Continent who were accustomed to fighting began to understand was the distribution of the situation and the division of hidden forces. Hearing this, Colin's eyes widened slightly.

Could it be the leader of the Esoteric Order who is said to have disappeared long ago, or even that he has gone mad and died......

"Looks like you've already guessed it...... Yes, you may call me, Zarathu. ”

Zarathu laughed twice and said to his guests in his fluent Giant's language:

"Hehe, don't be so restrained, I have now joined the command of Mr. 'Fool', and we will be a family from now on."

He was very affectionate:

"It's getting dark, I'll help you settle down in the city."

"However, the place where Mr. 'Fool' created for you is very perfect, and there is no place for me, an old man, to continue to contribute, thank you, Mr. 'Fool'."

After saying that, Zarathu walked forward, and the rest of the people involuntarily followed the old man who was not tall. Next, while using divination methods to find the most suitable room, Zarathu and Daric and others helped them demonstrate how to turn on and off the running water, how to use the toilet, and how to light the electric light (Zarathu secretly divined), without any shelves at all.

His identity as a "guide" and his meticulous work attitude soon made most of the people feel good about him, and those who came to the outside world for the first time had the illusion that they had come to the kingdom of God.

The switch that comes out of the water with just a twist, the machine that washes away the excrement with a single push, the machine that leaves no trace, and the lantern that keeps glowing just by lighting it are all things they couldn't have imagined in the past.

And these things will make up their new life.

By the time everyone had settled into the hotel, it was completely dark, and the night began to rule the city.

Although Darick and the others had long been sure that there was no danger of monsters attacking in the dark night outside, they were still instinctively afraid, so they either shone themselves or lit a wall lamp with a softer light.

Snowflakes are falling from the black sky, and it's a sight you can never get enough of. At that moment, they saw lights on the street outside the glass window, in the houses near and far away, one after another, dispelling the darkness in their respective areas.

These bright and dim lights were reflected in the eyes of everyone in Silver City, just like the Milky Way falling to the ground at night.

……

Fifteen minutes after Zarathu left.

Next to a frozen river.

Feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, Leonard, who was thrown out of the spirit world as soon as the carriage disappeared, rubbed his arms a little dazedly:

"He just left us like that?"

Parles didn't speak, and for a moment he muttered in a low voice, "It seems so." Heh, I knew that guy was uneasy. ”

Leonard rubbed his hands again, the sudden cold was something he had never experienced in Rune, the lowest temperature in Rune in winter was only about 0 degrees, but the temperature here was obviously more than ten degrees below zero, and 0 degrees should be the daily maximum temperature north of Fusak...... Leonard took out the thick clothes he had prepared from his small suitcase and put them on, took a few breaths into the palm of his hand, and ate a mouthful of cold air.

He was extremely glad that he was an extraordinary person at the moment, and with the improvement of his physique with extraordinary strength, the cold was just cold, and it would not affect his physical fitness and consciousness.

Otherwise, the extreme cold and the fact that he is not accustomed to the water and soil for the first time may lose temperature and faint within ten minutes.

"Did He say that you could get to that utopia by following this river?"

Leonard walked to the river and tried to summon a spirit to inquire about the situation, only to find that the river was fairly clean and there were no spirits to lodge.

It's incredible.

As long as the open-air water body exists for a little longer, some life will inevitably be born, and then the initial condensation of spirituality will begin, and generally there will be spirits in the water body that has existed for more than 50 years. If someone commits suicide by throwing themselves into the river, or if the number of animals that lose their lives in the lake accumulates, it will also accelerate the process of the birth of spirits, and the "fairy in the lake" that appears frequently in anecdotes and legends is one of the friendly spirits.

The width of the river is more than twenty meters, and the length is ...... Leonard looked back and forth, and saw that there was no end in sight, and there must have been a large body of water at the end and at the source. If it is a natural formation of this scale, there must be a spirit in it.

“…… The river was just created......"

Leonard had such an realization in an instant.

"The river is also part of a utopia, so it's no wonder that Zarathu said that if you keep going along here, you can reach the city."

He tightened his shirt and walked along the river, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked forward.

Parles suddenly spoke:

"What kind of person do you think Zarathu is?"

Leonard was stunned for a moment when asked, and after a long while, he replied with some unconfidence, "...... Probably, wolf, right? ”

When He spoke of fate, he was like a mottled, slow-moving old wolf, isolated, dying, docile and harmless.

But when He spoke of promotion, his cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, revealing a flash of ambition and pride.

——————

It was dark early in Vrsack, and in the evening, the travelers on the snowy fields arrived at the city they had never seen before.

He didn't stop for a moment with the cityscape and food, but went straight to the church of the "Fool" in the city and began to wait for his friend.
