Chapter 114: Lord
Reaching out to beings outside the world is also a prudent thing for the Anomaly.
The reptile chooses to send this visitor from the other world, who calls himself Mahal, to the Capital Anomaly.
Along the way, the reptile and Mahal remained calm most of the time, and did not communicate further on the way.
Just looking at each other and observing each other.
After Mahal left the Jingchen booth, there was no more fear, humility and nervousness.
In the face of the defenders of order in this world, he behaved calmly.
There are many unknown things in this world for him, but he has shown an ability to accept beyond ordinary people, and he is calm about all unknown things.
This gray-eyed old man seems to have the ability to peek into the essence of things.
The reptile is watching this Mahal,
Mahal is also observing the world, and the means of transport they take, bypassing the deserted routes,
But it still gave Mahal a glimpse of a more complete part of this world, and a lot of knowledge of this peaceful and orderly world.
Looking at the kingdom of the Lord that the legendary race yearns for, his eyes flickered a little again.
"Mr. Mahal, I don't know what kind of thing you like? We always like to entertain guests from afar with food, showing our hospitality and mutual respect. ”
The reptile paused and asked.
Mahal turned his head and looked at the reptile, and he paused before replying,
"There is no such habit in our world, we have short meals, prey, the corpses of monsters can be our food."
"Eating is not a special thing for us."
Mahal's world, where too much time is spent eating, is a luxury.
After hearing the reptilian words and knowing a little more, Mahal didn't mind revealing some information about their world.
"Mr. Mahal, then we can provide you with some food, I don't know if you are hungry from far away from the world."
“…… Thank you. ”
After a pause, Mahal nodded in response.
……
"Mr. Mahal."
It was an airtight room, and the interior was slightly gentle.
There are identical chairs on both sides, and a long table is spaced in between.
After Mahar had eaten some food for a short time, Lao Chen appeared in front of Mahal.
Facing the new person in front of him, Mahal behaved calmly and calmly,
He could feel that there was a great deal of power in this being, but it was also not to the point of incomprehension.
"I'm a senior investigator in the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations. The Bureau of Anomalies is an organization of our world to fight against the destruction of the world order by monsters and other special things. ”
"Welcome to our world."
Lao Chen also sensed that Mahal's power control was different from that of these investigators.
He didn't feel any great power in Mahar himself, Mahar looked like a wizened old man overall,
Maybe the body is just slightly stronger than a normal person, maybe it's like taking a potion once.
However, from Mahal's hand, he kept squeezing the bone fragment, and felt a strong pollution and impact.
The contamination emanating from this bone fragment seems to have merged with Mahar himself, and does not seem to have much effect on Mahar himself.
"I am from the holy city of our world, the city of rats, and I have come in search of the glory of the Lord and the salvation of our world."
"I have been wandering back in the infinite void and darkness for a long time, and it is a great being who has guided me and reached this world."
"Thank you, the defender of the world order, for the importance you have given me."
The information that has been obtained from the mouth of the mysterious powerhouse on the bank of the Wang'an River has made Lao Chen have psychological expectations in advance,
But hearing the clear 'sub-rat' from the mouth of this visitor from another world, Lao Chen's calm eyes still flickered for a moment.
"The name of the Holy City seems to have a special meaning for your organization?"
Mahal had long been aware of the defenders of order in this world, and had a special reaction to the name of the Holy City he said.
"It coincides with the name of one of our senior investigators, which is also a special name for our world."
Lao Chen pondered the sentence, sat in front of this visitor from another world, and gave an answer.
Mahal looked at Lao Chen, paused, did not speak, and remained calm.
Naturally, he thought of a possibility, but it did not affect his devout faith in the Lord.
"How did she die?"
"In the face of a crisis in the face of the coming of God, he chose a special way to die with the coming body of God...... He passed through one world portal and probably reached another. ”
"However, his death was not long ago, less than two months after our chronology."
Lao Chen replied again.
Mahar looked at Lao Chen, was silent for a while, and said,
"In our legends, the kingdom of the Lord enjoys eternal order and tranquility, and is the land of everyone's dreams, the final destination."
"We set out in search of salvation, in search of the kingdom of the Lord, in order that the glory of the Lord could once again shine into our world, and in the end I was the only one who got here."
"Mr. Mahar thinks that this is your legendary dream land, the ideal town?"
"Here it is, everything is exactly as it is said in the legend, and the glory of the Lord is always shining on this land."
Mahal said with certainty.
Lao Chen fell silent again, looked at the calm Mahal, and then said loudly,
"Mr. Mahal, I wonder if you can tell us more about the legends of your world."
"There are many legends about the Lord."
"The Lord came in the wildest of times, when the earth was completely occupied by all kinds of great beings and their volumes."
"The Lord created us and gave us a place of existence, She slain countless great beings, and we established the holy city in the glory of the Lord......"
"And then the Lord departed from her godly and humble Lamb."
"How long ago did she come?"
"A long time ago. Our world, after leaving the glory of the Lord, is far from the peace and tranquility of the kingdom under the Lord's protection. ”
Although the Lord has given us the strength to maintain order, we who are ignorant and humble have never been able to grasp this power. In other words, our world has never had a complete order, and a complete chronology seems difficult. ”
Mahal shook his head and replied, explaining the situation in their world,
Lao Chen listened, a little more cognitive, and then continued to ask,
"Your world isn't doing well right now?"
"We have opened up a vast space for our existence in the glory of the Lord and for a period of time after the Lord's departure."
"But in the end, under the influence of countless great beings and their dependents, our not-so-complete order was broken, and our living space was constantly squeezed, until when I left, the Holy City was also crumbling."
"So, Mr. Mahal, the search for the 'kingdom of the Lord' is to save your world?"
"We have been forsaken by the Lord, and the return of the glory of the Lord is our only possibility of salvation, and we believe that when the glory of the Lord is sprinkled again on the earth, we can overcome everything."
“…… Or, we find directions to the kingdom of the Lord, all the people of the Lord who are still alive go to the kingdom of the Lord...... Enjoy the eternal peace and order in the kingdom of the Lord. ”
Mahal faced Lao Chen, and after a moment of silence, he stated his purpose in finding the kingdom of the Lord,
Turning his head again, Mahal's gray eyes looked out of the room, and it seemed that he could still see this world full of order,
"The kingdom of the Lord is as beautiful as it is said. Our world is far from being so calm, and under the influence of countless great beings, chaos is everything. Leaving the Holy City, one may fall into the abyss if one takes a step forward, may be exposed to a rain of blood that can pollute everything, and may be swallowed up by the ground and become part of the ground. ”
In Mahal's description, a chaotic world full of all kinds of monsters and powerful monsters, constantly influenced by different great beings, and similar races can only struggle to survive,
Source change app】
It gradually became clear.
It's a world that's far worse than this world, I don't know how much.
"Mr. Mahal. I sympathize with your world and what has happened to you. But you should have seen and felt, though our world is somewhat similar to what your legends describe. ”
"But the order of our world is only difficult to maintain, and it is far from being as peaceful as it seems. Countless hidden crises are spreading in different places. We coped with the same struggle.
Moreover, it is evident that it will be difficult for our world to find your Lord again, and to bring the glory of your Lord back to your world. ”
Although there are some speculations and some possibilities have been thought, the Anomaly Bureau does not have the ability to communicate with this guest from another world.
"And we, the Bureau of Anomalies, though have some strength. But it's not that powerful, and Mr. Mahar should be able to feel it. There is nothing we can do to help your world. ”
It is already difficult for the Anomaly Bureau to maintain the current order, and it is impossible for a war to break out with more monsters and beings for the existence of similar people in other worlds.
From the point of view of the Bureau, more information from Mahal, or knowledge that the Bureau does not have, is their hope.
Moreover, how do you get to Mahal's world, through that world portal?
If it goes as expected, then ...... On both sides of that world portal, strange time, even if you pass through the world portal, can you really reach the holy city that Mahar said is crumbling and difficult to maintain?
“…… I believe this is the kingdom of the Lord. ”
Mahar listened to Lao Chen's words, was silent for a while, and then just said this.
He had found the place of dreams for all of them in the world, and he believed that the Lord was watching over him.
He clenched the relics in his hand and prayed silently to the Lord in his heart.
And then,
Mahal and Lao Chen tacitly did not mention those words just now,
It's just exchanging information that can be exchanged with each other, and knowledge from both worlds.
Mahar cautiously and comfortably told him some of the information about coming here from their world and using the sadhana.
And sure enough, I only heard a part of the sadhana,
Lao Chen already knew that this was basically the same as the teleportation ritual that the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau mastered, but there were some subtle differences.
For this, Lao Chen just kept it in his heart and did not talk to Mahati.
In addition to these, Mahar is also exchanging some basic information about the two worlds with Lao Chen.
For example, the world of Mahar, the name of their ethnic group, they call themselves Mahals.
And Mahar is an important member of the Mahal people, and he is one of the powerful people like the senior investigator of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
Mahal is both his real name and a code name.
Their world is far worse than this one, all kinds of monsters are the mainstream, and the Maha people are more like an outlier.
In order to keep the group alive, the Maha struggled to maintain their last place, the Holy City of Rats.
Unlike this world, every Maha is a warrior in the holy city, and the external environment is becoming more and more difficult.
So that they are basically not ordinary people who enjoy shelter and order like this world.
However, presumably because of this cruelty, the people of the Mahar world seem to have more information about monsters and great beings.
Of course
Lao Chen and Mahal finally talked about the key place,
The way Mahal grasps the power of the world is completely different from that of Lao Chen and other investigators of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
“…… Our strength comes from the Lord's gifts and from the plundering of other powerful beings. ”
Mahal held the holy relic in his hand and said to Lao Chen in a loud voice.
Lao Chen's gaze fell on the bone fragment in Mahar's hand, and in the previous exchange, he already knew that this bone fragment came from the lord of the Mahar world.
Looking at the bone fragment, Lao Chen's eyes were slightly complicated, but he quickly regained his composure.
"We pray to the Lord and seek strength from the Lord...... By the Lord's grace, we wield the authority of other powerful beings to preserve the space for our own struggles. ”
Probably the external environment of the Mahar world, the way the Mahal people use their power to narrate it has a strong sense of savagery,
However, Lao Chen listened, but he captured a key word,
"Authority?"
These days, sacrificing the last information left by several investigators made Lao Chen engrave this word into his mind,
Suddenly, I heard it from this visitor from another world, and I couldn't help but ask.
“…… The increase in our power comes from the acquisition of little and small authority...... We hold the 'holy things' in our hands, wielding great authority under the gift and glory of the Lord. ”
Mahal looked at Lao Chen, and after answering one more sentence, he didn't want to say any more.
Just looked at Lao Chen calmly and silently.
Lao Chen's gaze fell on the bone fragment in Mahal's hand again...... It seems that most of Mahal's strength comes from that bone fragment.
So how do they increase their strength? Will it be replaced by a more powerful 'sacred', or will they have a way to increase the power of that 'sacred'?
"Our power comes from potions...... After taking the potion, we will have the power to come from different great beings. ”
Lao Chen raised his head again, looked at Mahal, and just said that.
There is no mention of the recipe for the potion, nor the source of the main ingredient of the potion.
"You're a lot like those monsters......"
Mahar looked at Lao Chen and said,
"It's kind of like. But we don't have much more to do. ”
Lao Chen nodded.
Then the two fell silent again.
In the end, Lao Chen paused, and then stood up,
"Mr. Mahal, you have come from a far other world. According to our habit, we always let the guests who come from afar have a good rest before thinking about communicating with each other. ”
"Then Mr. Mahal, you will rest first. Wait for tomorrow...... When the sun shines on the land again, do we continue to communicate? ”
"Hmm."
Mahal did not refuse Lao Chen's words.
"Does Mr. Mahar have any requirements for a place to rest?"
"We didn't have any requirements for a place to rest, it was relatively safe. There you are. ”
Mahal shook his head.
Lao Chen nodded, didn't say anything more, and was about to leave temporarily.
Mahal paused, then asked with a little hesitation,
"Can I walk around your world?"
“…… OK. Then an investigator will come and accompany Mr. Mahar to see our world. ”
After a pause, Lao Chen agreed to the request.
Immediately after, Lao Chen left the room.
Mahar was still sitting on the original seat, watching Lao Chen's figure disappear,
Raise your head again, look in an unknown direction,
"Master ......"
After a long pause, Mahal was pinching the relic, whispering a prayer to the Lord.
……
“…… Is that you, Mouse? ”
Lao Chen walked out of the closed room, and after walking forward for a while,
Stopping again, he raised his head, looked at the sky and into the distance, his eyes were a little dazed, and he muttered in a low voice.
