Chapter 60: The Next Stop in Life
Joshua took out three tickets and took Jane and Lilith on the train.
Something that had never appeared in this world before was obviously intriguing, and Jane leaned on the window looking at the scenery in the Milky Way.
"Fairy tales always have an end, but when the story is over, go to the next story, and the same is true of human life, the train will always go to the next station, so what about you? Simple. ”
The starlight outside the window began to shine brightly with Joshua's words, and the light of the Milky Way shone warmly on everyone.
"There's still time, Jane, would you like to listen to the story I told you?"
The light converged in Joshua's hand, and a fairy tale book appeared in his hand, and immediately in the Milky Way beyond the car window, several stars joined together to form a huge cross.
Joshua was reading the children's favorite fairy tale in the light, and Jane looked up at Joshua as if she were a believer listening to the Word.
Faced with this situation, Lilith thought of the mythical image of the gods preaching, and also remembered that night in Black Mountain.
"Holy."
These two words are probably the only adjectives for Lilith.
Dreams have an end, stories have an end, and when Joshua closes the book, the stars and the train arrive.
But people are also going to the next stage.
"Joshua, can you come to my house for tea tomorrow?"
Jane's body changed, she was no longer the petite girl, but back to her usual appearance.
It takes courage to face your ugliness, but Jane already has that courage at this point.
"Okay, but can you prepare a little more? I'm going to bring some back to the kids. ”
"You're welcome."
Jane was stunned for a moment, but then she laughed, probably the moment when she completely let go of her disguise, and at the same time, her body also shone a little, which was a sign that she was leaving the dream.
"Stay safe and ...... Good bye. ”
Jane dissipated into the dream, and at any moment the whole dream collapsed and the darkness returned to darkness again.
"yes, goodbye."
Joshua let out a sigh of relief, it seems that this time he also solved Jane's heart knot by the way, which is quite rewarding.
"Am I wasting a lot of time?"
"No, it's still within reason."
Lilith shook her head, if it was an ordinary person who was deeply trapped in a dream, it was indeed easy to delay time.
However, Lilith still has a part of her spirit connected to reality, so she has a sense of the speed of time in the real world.
Don't look at Joshua's time to untie Jane's knot, but in reality, it was probably less than ten minutes.
"Then there's the core."
Joshua looked at several points of light in front of him, one of which was connected to the core of this dream, and this time without Joshua's guidance, the evil atmosphere was something that Lilith could feel.
……
"Miss, are you awake?"
A familiar voice echoed in Jane's ears, and she opened her eyes to look at the woman in front of her.
"Mother?"
"Miss, the Duke hasn't come back yet."
Maria gently hugged Jane up, she understood what had just happened, but she didn't expect the singing voice to affect Jane.
"Maria? The city should be ...... now."
Jian Cai's spirit is still very weak when he gets out of the dream, but because he is out of the place relatively early, he only needs to sleep and recover tomorrow.
"Don't worry, Lady Helen has already made a move, and my mission is only to protect Miss."
For Maria, it didn't matter whether the whole of the Emerald was alive or dead.
She is the one who protects Jane, and as long as Jane is safe and sound, then everything doesn't matter.
"Believe Lady Helen, that is the terrible enemy that the Duke has been sure of, rest assured, miss."
"Hmm."
Exhaustion returned, and Jane fell asleep again in Maria's arms, but this time instead of dreaming, she recuperated herself and waited for tomorrow morning, with a lot of work to be done, and ......
"Maria, get your tea ready, ...... tomorrow Joshua ...... Come and be a guest. ”
"Okay, I'll prepare the best black tea."
Soothed by Maria, Jane drifts off to sleep while the battle continues outside.
……
"Oh~ This is the strength of the newcomer? That's not to be underestimated. ”
Stark placed the last resident in his hand in a safe place, and then looked inside the boxy barrier.
Although Charlotte once said that Joshua's strength is still hidden, now it seems that this guy is indeed hiding a hand.
"Brown, can you see anything?"
Charlotte was also observing the situation in the enchantment, she had already prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect Joshua to hide such a deep strength.
"It's not magic, it's not vindictive."
Don't look at Brown looks like a big black tower, but he is indeed a real magician, if it weren't for the identity of the Inquisition, he should be a professor in a mage tower at this time.
With such a amount of knowledge, he was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person in the court, and he could see that "Joshua" was not using magic and vindictiveness at all at this time.
"Divine power? It's not surprising, but this guy has shown more than one kind of magic skill. ”
Charlotte is also a Divine Scroller, so she naturally understands that the Divine Technique will not only increase as the mark increases, but also derive some other functions.
For example, her "deception and fame" not only has the ability to disguise herself as someone else, but also derives other abilities, which makes her a master of time management.
"It used to be flames, but now it's moonlight, and the powerful physical abilities you had when you fought me."
Charlotte didn't understand the principle of this, so she had to go back and look for documents, maybe there was such a magic in history.
"Don't let your guard down, they have what they have to do, and we have jobs."
The black goat doesn't appear in the city for no reason, combined with the inferior Sage's Stone found in the sewers before, it's obvious that a cultist is doing something.
"These residents are temporarily handed over to me to deal with, captain, you can act as soon as possible."
As a magician, Brown took over the task of guarding the people, while the other members of the Inquisition and the strong men in the city defense army also looked out for each other to protect the residents.
At this time, the only people who can search for the traces of the cultists are Charlotte and Stark.
"Just leave it to me, my eyes cooperate with the captain's intelligence, and no cultist can hide from it."
The flirtatious look faded from Stark, and the cruel smile reappeared.
On weekdays, if it weren't for the big fish, Stark would have wiped out all the cultists in the city.
As for Charlotte, she frowned slightly, she didn't say that she had 100% control over the movements of the cultists in the entire Fei Lengcui, but she also mastered most of them, and there was only one cult organization that was not in her control.
"Is it true wisdom? Trouble guy. ”
For those organizations where the subordinates are completely open to their superiors, and the superiors have complete control over the subordinates, it is an organization that Charlotte has extremely difficult to blend into.
"That organization, but you don't seem to be able to break into that organization, captain, how can you find it?"
"Any action will leave a trace, as long as they have done something, then it is impossible not to be noticed by other cultists, so we have clues."
Extrapolating the results through the connections between things, this is the idea that Charlotte learned from the basic deductive method, although it is not a tried-and-true idea, but it is indeed a line of thought now.
"Roar~"
The angry roar of the black goat was heard, followed by a loud movement crashing into the barrier, indicating that the battle had begun to heat up.
We have to hurry.
Charlotte doesn't know how long "Joshua" will last, so she must do what she can as soon as possible and join the fray.
But......
"Oops~ The strength is pretty good."
Helen looked at Juno beside her with interest, not to mention the power of the arrow, but now this kind of accuracy, even few people in the elf clan can do it.
"Many of them haven't used bows every year, and they're a little rusty."
Juno's words were clearly not taken to heart by Helen, and with human talent, such archery was close to its limit.
But that's not enough.
"Roar~"
The black goat's roar continued, and it fought for the restraint of the lost arrows despite its injuries, and then struck in Juno's direction.
"Why are you yelling so loudly?"
Juno was another arrow, but this arrow was not to repel the black goat, but turned into countless streamers to sew up the black goat's dense mouth.
"It can't get out anyway, and the damage it does will recover quickly, and attacking it before the dream is cut off is just a waste of strength, so you came up with such a method?"
Helen was impressed by Juno's bad taste, but it was a good thing to do.
This evil roar was really annoying, and now that it was all sewn up, the night was cleared.
"It's not enough."
The moonlight converged on Juno's hand, and then turned into countless sharp swords that fell from the sky, nailing the trunk of its limbs to the ground, but ......
"Crunch~"
A crack appeared on the white sword, and Juno frowned slightly to know that it was the black goat forcibly extracting the power of the dream realm, wanting to break through Juno's seal as soon as possible.
"Is that Famine Knight so slow?"
Juno wasn't worried about his seal being broken, but was worried about how much the black goat would affect the inhabitants of Emerald if it extracted the power of dreams in this way.
"Who knows, although the cultists are not stupid, although they are bad, the power of dreams, as the source of their power, is also a restrain on us, he may be restrained."
Helen didn't care, Durant's strength was still worthy of recognition, even if his injuries did not recover, but in the main battlefield of dreams, the Famine Knight had enough dominance.
Probably......
……
"What a tough guy."
The power of the Famine Knight was indeed manifested in the dream, and Jessica suffered greatly at this time, if it were not for the power of the eroding black goat.
At this point, she may have been defeated.
"Sure enough, we shouldn't have accepted the surrender of those guys back then, and we originally wanted to destroy the fortress from the inside through these people, but in the end, we lost a lot of strength."
Jessica's mind has memories that don't belong to her.
In that memory there is a history of the heretical knights.
It was the first human beings in the Dark Ages to defect from this world and embrace new power, and it was they who brought endless darkness to this world.
But who would have thought that all this was the Virgin of Sin...... No, it should be the plan of the Goddess of Light.
deliberately polluted itself to give birth to the Holy Mother of Sin, and then deliberately split the church with the doppelganger of the Holy Mother of Sin, and used this as an opportunity to catch many humans who threw themselves into the starry sky.
After hundreds of years of Dark Ages, the Heresy Knights have killed countless innocent people and countless cultists.
This is a merit of which they are proud, and it is also their eternal sin.
However, the gods from the starry sky did not know this at the time, the Destruction Star blessed the Conquering Knights, the Blood Lord blessed the War Knights, the Star Sea Sages blessed the Famine Knights, and the Corruption Hotbed blessed the Death Knights.
Now these four have been taken out and ridiculed every once in a while, and the old face is lost.
This also explains why the power of the Blood Lord was so directed against Anna at that time that she even lost the ability to recover herself.
The War Knight is a stain that must be erased for the Lord of Blood, but not for Jessica.
"Sister Anna is special, but you are different."
Jessica hastened the disintegration of the surrounding dreams, absorbing and growing the participating forces as souls broke away from the fragments of the dreams.
At the same time, Jessica also felt that the black goat's resistance became weaker.
"Weakened? It seems that there is a problem at the heart of the dream realm, and finally someone has entered it and started to wreak havoc. ”
Jessica understands that the black goat at this time must be in a state of weakness, unable to deal with her erosion with all her strength, and this is the opportunity to absorb the power of dreams to strengthen her spirit.
"Oh? Are you aware of that, too? ”
Almost at the same time, Jessica also felt that the Famine Knight's attack was much weaker, not because the other party was exhausted, but because the other party had also discovered the state of the black goat.
Obviously, both of them intend to get the most out of the Black Goat's gold coins.
Looks like the other party is hurt.
Jessica is clear about the strength of the Famine Knight in the dream, and at this time, the opponent's concession eliminates the possibility of the trap, that is, the opponent's injury also needs the power of the dream to recover.
Knowing that the Black Goat was bound to be defeated, the opponent was not sure to kill Jessica while still wounded.
Then it is necessary to prepare for the real meeting, and the most important thing to do is to recover from the injury as soon as possible.
That's a sound judgment.
Knowing this, Jessica slowed down her offensive and let go, and was also much more careful when dismantling the dream.
Now the caution of the Knights of Famine is only based on the premise that the civilians are not harmed.
If Jessica had begun to devour the civilians with impunity, then the other side would have erupted in an attack that would have been more ferocious than any before.
