Chapter 277: Western Continent
In the course of the day, Lewis had already taken care of what he needed to do in Intis.
He begged the Church of the Gods of Steam and Machines to take care of Mandy, and took 3,000 pounds out to the treasure hunter's mother.
The gray fog in front of him was getting thicker and thicker, and Lewis could already see the tall light gate and the palace like a giant's abode hidden behind the gray fog, and he knew that it was time for him to go to the gray fog.
The gas lamps in the room flickered and flickered, and Lewis took four steps backwards to get above the gray fog.
In front of him was still a tall gate of light covered with silkworm cocoons, the silk threads of fate connected to the depths of the gray mist, and an inexplicable corpse lay at his feet.
Lewis twitched the corners of his mouth, wasn't this inexplicable corpse himself?
The soul and body were separated, but at the same time both summoned to the gray mist, which made Lewis a little uneasy.
However, he guessed that the Lord of Mystery would not let him die, after all, he was far more valuable alive than dead.
Thinking that it would be best to ask the Lord of Mysteries what he wanted to do, Lewis set up the ritual and tried to communicate with the remnants of the Lord of Mysteries' consciousness.
Lewis tried to decipher the unexplained babble in his ears, but could not decipher any useful information.
Most of what he heard were stories, stories of the Lord of Mysteries trying to contain essentia.
In it, Lewis focuses on the process of the Lord of Mystery's attempt to fuse the Key of Light, and although the Lord of Mystery failed to fuse in the end, he established a partial connection with the Key of Light.
Lewis sat back on the golden silk nanwood bench and tapped his index finger lightly on the tabletop:
"So, even if I don't try to touch the Source Fort when I cross over, the Key of Light will find the Source Fort sooner or later, and sooner or later I will be pulled by Klein above the gray mist and become a part of the Tarot Society."
Although fate had already been arranged, Lewis did not feel depressed, and what made him even more frightened was that his body had come here.
"Can you return to the real world? The Lord of Mysteries is not bored and wants to find a companion here to accompany him to death, right? ”
Thinking of this, Lewis couldn't help but wrap himself in spirituality, simulating the feeling of falling.
As he had thought, this time he didn't sink into the gray fog, and he didn't leave the Source Castle.
Suddenly, the light gate in front of Lewis shook violently, and a whirlpool emerged in the light gate, where there seemed to be the cries of birds and beasts, and the noise of people communicating.
Lewis flew out of the light gate, and there was a different scene in front of him:
The dragon skimmed overhead, the forest was full of strange creatures, the three-eyed monkey passed through the jungle, and the lizard, which shimmered with colorful light, gradually lost its light and hid behind the trunk of a tree, quietly ambushing a bird with a single horn.
He wandered in a state of spirit, seeing cities made of concrete and steel in the distance, and seeing elves living on the edge of the forest with pointed ears.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Western Continent, the Western Continent with essentia."
Lewis's mood didn't improve, and if his guess was correct, it meant that the Lord of Mysteries wanted him to find essentia.
Whoa......
Suddenly a pile of miscellaneous objects and a breathless "dead body" appeared on the ground, which were piled up like a grave, and the "dead body" was placed on top of the pile.
Lewis entered the "corpse" and was resurrected with full blood, only this time in Trier, the capital of Intis.
Pressing the half-height silk top hat on his head, Lewis was worried about the pile of "clutter", which he had accumulated over the years since he became a transcendent, and which he would normally throw on the gray mist.
"My things have been cleaned up by the Lord of Mystery, does that mean that I no longer have the permission to enter the Source Fort casually?"
Secretly sighing that things are wrong, Lewis snapped his fingers, and a beast that came from a distance tore out a knife-like air flow under its claws, and ran in the air five meters above the ground.
It was a running tiger with sword-like teeth, but the tiger was hovering through Lewis's circulatory space, repeating the same movements.
"Whoa......
A hurricane-carrying arrow pierced the tiger's body, and the force of the explosion caused the tiger's body to split in half from the middle.
A male elf with pointed ears came out of the forest, his bow and arrows drawn, aimed at Lewis, and asked:
"Who are you?"
Lewis was stunned for a moment, and then he was in a good mood, it was actually Chinese, and he found the feeling of going home.
Taking off his half-height silk top hat, Lewis recalled his Chinese language and said:
"I'm just a lost traveler, you can take the prey away, but please don't come near me, it's dangerous here."
The male elf then withdrew the arrow into the quiver he was carrying, called a few companions, dragged the tiger's carcass away, and disappeared into the jungle.
Lewis was embarrassed when he looked at the various seals in front of him, which had been placed on top of the gray mist, and he could access them at any time, and he was able to maintain maximum combat effectiveness.
When the Source Fort could not be used, the way these items were disposed of became a problem, and the side effects of the seals alone determined that he could not carry too many things with him.
"I don't know if Miss Elana can come out, but if she can, I can consider depositing these seals in the spirit world.
When it's time to use it, summon Miss Elana and ask her to bring the seal out. ”
Lewis took the brass whistle out of his pocket, and with a sound like a whale's chirping echoed deep in the trees, the messenger, Miss Elana, stepped out from beneath the ground.
Whether it is a ritual or a token, you can directly summon a messenger, which may be the reason why Miss Elana can also appear in the Western Continent.
"Mr. Lewis, do you want to send a letter?" Elanna asked, looking down.
"Do you have your own abode in the spirit world?" Lewis asked directly.
"Hmmm......"
"That's great, I'll store these seals with you, and you'll bring them to me when you need them." Lewis pointed to the pile of debris that had been thrown on the floor, and he always felt that Miss Elana was really good, serving as a messenger and thug, and also as a storage space.
With such an all-powerful messenger, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a second one.
Elanna flapped her tail on the ground and paused, she glanced at the pile of debris in surprise with a complicated expression.
"Okay......"
After a moment's hesitation, Miss Elana finally agreed, and she came to the pile of debris, opened the passage to the spirit world, and suddenly her face became gloomy.
"Mr. Lewis, I ...... There may not be any going back. Elanna lowered her head, her tail hanging to the ground, looking depressed.
"Normal." Lewis was not surprised in the slightest, after all, their location was in the Western Continent, where the Lord of Mysteries had sealed.
If you only seal the real world and leave a passage in the spirit world, it is called strange.
