Chapter 100: The Secret Realm of Two Cities
The demon awakened by the Liaison Ritual felt Ke Li's breath a little, and his tone was obviously not so mocking:
"Heh, I haven't been in touch for a while, and I thought you guy's dead in some corner."
"It seems that you have been a little lucky lately, and you have finally escaped from the level of miscellaneous fish and have a certain amount of demonic power."
"Don't get complacent too early, I didn't praise you, I just watched the growth of the newborn demon, and I felt a little emotional."
Ke Li didn't chew his tongue with this guy either, bubbling up to brush up on his presence: "In addition to this matter, I also became a member of the Brave Hunting Church, although I didn't join the organization, I just recognized the name, but I got the church badge." ”
"As long as I can be promoted to the middle sequence and have my own demon form, I should be able to go to the Demon King's Court."
Speaking of the Demon Court, this guy unexpectedly didn't have any special reaction, as if all this was taken for granted:
"Hmph, when you are qualified to enter the Demon Court, maybe you can stand at the table outside the palace and listen to the Father speak, and watch the elders and the Demon Prince feast. Want to take a seat at the feast? You're not far from it. ”
Colley was speechless for a moment, not quite understanding what kind of whining mockery the demon was engaged in.
He was just a little curious about the living state of the demon clan, and why the demon sequence was able to "whitewash" and transfer to the Brave Hunting Church, and why he was able to control the situation with other righteous gods, so he wanted to know a little more information.
But looking at the attitude of the demon, I shouldn't have planned to elaborate on it, just say it to hang my appetite.
"Anyway, this matter is to inform you, if there is anything you want to trade, we will talk about it when I have time."
The demon took the initiative to cut off the communication very coldly, and Ke Li was also busy here.
Whether it's the planning of Inception, or the recent distance and arrangement, it takes time and effort.
His gentleman's gown was so tattered that he had to take out an expedition outfit from his chariot to make do with it.
The main thing is that the tank was destroyed by this wave of bizarre events, and it could not be used if it was taken out without parts.
"I suddenly realized that I regretted it a little, I pretended to be too free, I didn't ask the church people to help me get some chariot parts, and I had to delay a lot of time in this regard, hey, maybe I shouldn't have answered so resolutely......
"But I don't want to go back with the canned beast helmet, and I don't want to be bound by the duties of that city. After I really went back, I still liked their attitude, and it was difficult to refuse the personal exchanges, so maybe I would really be persuaded to stay. ”
"Routines, they're all routines. The finishing touches on this matter should be left with their own headaches. ”
Since the chariots and possessions were there, only slightly damaged, Coolie no longer planned to stay longer.
For one more day, the Brave Hunt Church did not send any more people to save them.
Resting to eat, drink, and regain his mental state, Corrie sets out on his way to Mammoth Horn.
Ah no, let's go to the next city first to buy metal materials, and repair the chariot before hitting the road.
Back then, he was also lonely on the road, carrying the only money on his back, and was driven to leave his homeland by a conviction.
Now, the mood of going to Mammoth Horn is very different.
I was a little curious about the life experiences of Flanders and Enzo during this time, and I also wanted to know if there were more perfect ritual resources on the other side of the fog of history, and whether I could promote myself to Sequence 16, and then probe into Sequence 15 while the iron was hot.
In addition, Colley also has a lot of bold ideas and inspirations to try, and he also needs a place like Mammoth Horn.
If you are farther away from the United Twin Cities, you can feel that the information transmission in this world is still not so smooth.
The occurrence of an anomalous incident in the United Twin Cities was already old news three days ago. But in those small villages and towns, the word of mouth version of their story has only just spread, and it has become one of the most talked about in the taverns.
It took some time to refill the parts and accessories of the chariot and the clock, but the story was still delayed and touching, and listening to the bard blow the ears out of the cocoon, it can only be said that the vision of ordinary people is indeed very limited.
Unconsciously busy, the time of the year is summer again.
As long as the weather is a little warmer, the road to the north and the merchant procession can form an endless landscape.
The Griffon Empire has many ports of sea and river, while mountain fortresses and snowy regions do not have such advantages.
Rumor has it that the Alpine Fortress also has plans to dismantle Mammoth's Horn and exchange the territorial rights of this enclave for port territory within the empire, continue to grow its business bigger and stronger, and establish their own "golden ports" in each empire.
However, because many countries are a troublesome topic in terms of territorial rights, unlike the orcs and people who migrate around, and the races in many countries are both xenophobic and exclusive, it is a pity that no consensus can be reached in this regard.
"If there is a golden port and there are steam trains in the empire, it is strange that it is convenient to meet other adventurers and go to sea, do they really want to do business properly, and not engage in some outrageous pirate robbery?"
In the face of the question of the guest, the bard also smiled and did not speak, answered the old question with new questions, and led everyone to dream together: "If there is such a day, we will board the steam battleship that will go to sea to hunt for treasure......"
Then you'll be blown away by wind and waves, fog, whispering, extreme weather, and elusive monsters!
Ordinary people should stay in the reality woven by the Orthodox Church, the terrifying and weird extraordinary realm is not suitable for you.
If you just put a madman like an ancient person on the table, this life will be completely finished, and you won't even have a chance to wake up.
Ke Li complained a few words in his heart, and all the people present were ordinary people, so he raised his glass and drank it, dropped the glass and left.
When he had nothing to do on the chariot, he also figured out a new tarot card and meditated on inspiration.
Inadvertently, he thought of Bart Murphy.
This unfortunate child, as the trigger of a turning point in fate, seems to have deliberately covered up the past with his fate and changes.
"If you want to confirm Bart's status, you have to start investigating from the secret realm of the United Twin Cities."
On the night of the caravan encampment vigil, Corrie entered the secret realm of the United Twin Cities.
The anomalous phenomenon caused by the summoning ritual that day, the volcanic eruption-like entanglement of light and shadow, seems to still remain in the secret realm.
It's just that Colly deliberately avoided interpersonal contact, and he didn't have time to make friends with his peers, so the passers-by who appeared in the United Twin Cities were almost negligible, almost an empty phantom city.
"It seems to be a cognitive characteristic, because I abandoned and rejected those people, so there are almost no passers-by in the city, and the only few figures are also a collection of impressions of the public's face, and there is no sense of disobedience wherever it is placed."
"In the timeline of the secret realm, this goes back to the night after the people poured into the city to ransack, because at that moment I made a choice to change my fate, so it has some special cognitive meaning, and it is constructed as a 'starting point'."
"The real and empty city, just like the inner feeling at that moment, everything is meaningless and empty."
Laughing to herself, Colley dodged and teleported freely in the secret realm, coming to the vicinity of the looted shop.
Here he saw Bart kneeling on the ground, weeping silently, a strong entanglement of thoughts emanating from him.
Part of it was Bart's own entanglements and struggles: "I'm so useless, I think I can finally break free from the whirlpool of fate, but in the end I can't do anything, if Mr. Kidd is here, what will he think of me?" ”
Part of it is Barth's ugly and unwanted true thoughts: "I'm so selfish, how can I just think about preserving myself, Mr. Kidd is my important benefactor, and now I'm only thinking about where to hide the money my parents gave him, whether it was robbed, and whether I have a chance to get it back......"
Surprisingly, the shattered glass windows and mirrors reflected the vaguely broken figure of "Mr. Kidd".
It actually used a voice that was exactly the same as that of Colley, but cold to the freezing point, and sneered at Bart:
"So what? What about you? Didn't you just stand there and watch? ”
Bart seemed to be in the midst of mental stimulation, and had an emotional breakdown, he clutched the sharp glass shards in vain, trying to explain but getting entangled: "No, I don't want things to be like this, I haven't repaid ...... yet"
Mr. Kidd in the mirror sneered coldly: "Admit it, you are the kind of despicable person, you are essentially no different from the parents and those fools you once looked down on!" ”
"The rat is short-sighted, the mind is not ambitious, the mouth is good, and the actual actions are cowardice, cowardice and betrayal!"
Bart's face turned white and red, and he struggled to find a reason to justify it, while mimicking the tone of the figure in the mirror, laughing at himself with a twisted face, and even began to want to harm himself with glass shards, but he didn't have the courage.
This scene stunned Ke Lidu: "What are you doing? Does this kid have trauma and mental illness? ”
"No, I've done all kinds of tests on him, and he was normal before, is this triggering PTSD?"
"Otherwise, why would he make such a puzzling and dangerous move in the secret realm of the United Twin Cities?"
The light and light shattered and blurred, and Bart gradually leaned and approached the shattered mirror in a frantic self-tug.
At this moment, Colley saw the phantom figure of Mr. Kidd in the mirror, and seemed to slowly stretch out his hands towards Bart.
A strange picture of it gradually breaking through the broken mirror and seeping from the unreal to the real world.
"I didn't know about it, and the church didn't tell me?"
Ke Li frowned, he thought that the previous thing was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that there was an even more outrageous one hidden.
Just as Bart was in a state of limp and was about to approach the mirror, a voice broke Barth's anomaly.
At this moment, Ke Li felt that all his thoughts were active, and a feeling of interlaced fates arose.
The phantom in the mirror seemed to let out a sneer, which quickly turned into a hazy mist and dissipated reasonably.
It was a tower emissary dressed in a beige robe and covered with an adventure outfit and masked cape.
He emerged from the shadows, standing in the broken light with such a natural flow and decadent posture.
He must have been so proficient in hiding and hiding that the members of the Church after the Great War were unaware of his existence.
And such a tower path powerhouse doesn't seem to realize what Bart was talking to just now.
"Life and fate are always full of thorns and pain, obviously it is an energetic age, but the heart is old and withered like an old man, and the degree of destruction of ideals and self-esteem on a person is indeed not much worse than the years......"
"Ha, I don't know if I dare to come here to find out, or if I want to deceive myself that it's too late, so I have to rush to leave the scene at the end of this song, wearing a mask and talking to you, hoping to give myself a little comfort."
"I can understand your pain, and I can also understand your suffering, this is the common sorrow of losers who are powerless to resist fate, reincarnation again and again is just the recurrence of pain, say that you don't care at all, how can you easily let yourself go?"
"So, please accept my guilt and change the picture on this card when you need power."
Colley followed his gesture and saw that the colorful and vibrant card depicted exactly ......
Fools.
