Volume 1: The Golden Pocket Watch Chapter 59: Hard-mouthed Captain Jack
This is even more terrifying than sailing on the sea, and if it were not for the unity of the people on the high mountains, it might have disappeared in the dust of history.
After a brief account of the history of the Ethereal City and the events worth remembering, Link turned to say:
"As the Ethereal City gradually stabilizes, the Roundtable has begun to organize people who touch the supernatural powers to explore the darkness, most recently 68 hours ago, we have explored the area beyond the Ethereal City, and are heading towards the more polluted Crimson Forest."
"On the edge of the Armenian plateau, we found a number of ruined cities, among which we found several magical objects buried in the dusty past, which were tightly held in the hands of skeletons, and we suspect that these were the last people to fight against the Gunnon Pollution, which unfortunately were still devoured by the Guyon."
Pollution, strange faces, well, this description is very much in line with what I know of a transcendent being, only the mountains are more eerie and darker.
I sympathize, your technology is too backward, even the gunpowder is only in the most primitive state, otherwise, these monsters are not to be afraid at all, except for the mythical Ganon, the others should not be able to withstand the bombardment of ironclad ships, airships, and goblin artillery.
Sure enough, the source of fear comes from a lack of firepower, especially for this unknown fear hidden in the dark depths...... Wienerson nodded imperceptibly.
"The Ethereal Kingdom used to be a kingdom that believed in the giant king Odin, and the transcendent sequence mastered was the 'Guard' path, and then we blasphemed the gods and got the 'Bomberman' path."
"After thousands of years of continuous exploration, we have more or less found some other sequence paths in the destroyed city, and also picked up strange sequences because of the killing pollution, but these promotion chains are incomplete and incomplete, and now the mainstream clergy of the Ethereal City are still the guardian path and the bomber man path."
Guarding the Path...... Defense, Bomberman Path...... Offensive!
Well, it's quite a match, no wonder the Ethereal City can survive in the dark.
As his thoughts flickered, Venason perked up, his hands still crossed against his chin, his posture unchanged, but he was noticeably more attentive to his listening.
But seriously, it's a magical place on top of the mountain, and killing pollution will also drop equipment, which is no different from playing a game, right?
Maybe it's a game world?
Hiss...... Vinason suddenly had a toothache, he felt that this world was a little unreal, even if he crossed it by himself, it overlapped with the game world, and it was terrifying to think about.
Seeing that Mr. "Old Days" had been sitting on the bronze throne and did not say anything, Link pondered and said again:
"I've seen it in ancient books, the awakening card of the 'Hunter' path is fate, I ......"
"I want to change the fate of the Ethereal City!" He gritted his teeth and said firmly.
Is the awakening card of the "Hunter" path "Destiny"?
Vinason was relieved that he understood a high-level "title", and at the same time, an even bigger question jumped out of his heart, what is the awakening card?
Before, Officer Joseph said 'swap cards', and now another 'awakening card' has popped up, this is the second time I've learned of something like blasphemy cards, but wouldn't it be too complicated to get promoted?
From the core meaning, there are at least two complete sequences on the mountain, which are the 'Guard' path and the 'Bomberman' path.
If these two paths are exchanged for something valuable, it should not be a big problem, so in this way, I can be regarded as a person who has mastered the two paths.
If you think about it, even the high-level bosses don't necessarily have the complete knowledge of the path...... Vinason kept his posture indifferent while analyzing and judging.
Link thought for a moment, then continued:
"The Ethereal City has always been ruled by the 'Round Table', which consists of four Knight Captains and a Lord, all of whom are clerics of Sequence Pathway 6, and now the Lords are ...... They are dead, and only four Knight Captains remain. ”
I'll go, the cleric of Sequence Path 6, the combat power of the Ethereal City is so high?
I took back my previous words, even the Sequence 6 clergy had no way to deal with the pollution in the dark, and eighty percent of the ironclad ships and airships could only resist for a while, and in the end they were overwhelmed by monsters.
"Your Ethereal City has a Sequence 6 high-ranking priest, can't you resist the invasion of darkness at all? Generally speaking, after the exchange, it is a qualitative change, and we should not be helpless against pollution. Venason asked, maintaining a leisurely posture, as if casually.
The reason why he said this was that he wanted to examine two things.
The first is how far the pollution around the Ethereal City has been, and whether there is a solution to it.
The second is to confirm whether there are other meanings or symbolic meanings of the 'swap' cards that Mr. Joseph said.
In Vinathan's heart, it is not that he does not believe Officer Joseph's words, but in this kind of world full of transcendental, deity, and secrets, nothing can only be believed in one side, but also the other side needs to be confirmed, which is the second rule of survival in another world.
The first is don't be curious about anything, and the second is to know enough!
"Yes, although the transcendent power possessed by the 'swap' has become abundant, it is still unable to resist the pollution of Ganon, and those twisted strange faces are getting stronger little by little, and other kinds of dark monsters have also spread."
"The year 2033 has been prophesied that the year 2033 will be the year when the city of Guynon will be completely restored and promoted to the full myth, when the ethereal city will be completely destroyed, and there will be no more humans on the high mountains, only endless darkness." Link replied with a painful face, and before he knew it, he told the story of the Ethereal City and the Roundtable as it was.
Really! Satisfied with his clear conjecture, Venason paused, and then, with a hint of a magic stick, smiled:
"Ganon is not terrible, you will eventually pick up the giant sword in your hand, slay him, completely rewrite the fate of the Ethereal City, and lead mankind to the other side of the light."
Link couldn't help but glance up, he was encouraged by the ancient ethereal voice, but he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, he always felt that it was too easy to obtain the promise of the gods.
At the beginning, the ancestors of the Ethereal City sacrificed over and over again, and even used human flesh and blood, but in exchange for only coldness and numbness, and desperate gloom.
"Old days" Venason pretended to be deep and said, if the kind of lifeless magic stick quotation just now was in China on Earth, he dared to guarantee that no one believed it, not only would no one believe it, but he should also be greeted by the Internet keyboard warrior in beautiful language.
But it is this kind of divine stick quotation that the earthlings have never believed, but it is quite useful in the other world, and almost no one will doubt it, they will only trust the gods unconditionally and follow the will of the gods.
Eh, have I been in another world for a long time, so I've gone bad?
When I was in Huaxia before, I wouldn't lie to people, how did I come here, and there was a kind of cheating and abduction behavior every day?
"Thank you, Mr. Old Day, I will live up to your expectations, I will become stronger, slay Gaynon, and change the fate of the Ethereal City, the high mountain." Link whispered to himself in pain and pain.
Venason nodded slightly:
"Now that the wheel of fortune is spinning for you, the hands of time are turning for you, I will keep an eye on you until the fate on the mountain is reversed, and before that, you need to decide on a code name."
Venason smiled and pointed to the sides of the Ouroboros, two of the high-backed chairs shimmering like living creatures.
"These two chairs have their respective owners, and their code names are County Lord and Deep Sea respectively, I believe you should understand what I mean."
“... Princess... Deep Sea..."
Link's brows furrowed slightly, he had never heard of a similar title, and he didn't know what the county lord and the deep sea represented.
"You don't have to worry about other names, just tell me your own code name."
Link thought for a moment in his heart, and then said without hesitation:
"Fate!"
"Fate, remember your choice, the boy who changed his fate on the mountain." Venason whispered familiarly.
At the same time, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the flames of the bonfire jumped suddenly, the wind of nothingness blew again, the huge and heavy stone door closed the gap again, and the figure of the young man in front of him quickly turned into a virtual shadow, dissipating into the ancient palace little by little.
.........
Pioneering City, Gresham!
In the living room in the backyard of Poseidon Church, Bishop Juste stood by the bed, looking at the little girl sitting on the bed with pigtails, her pale golden eyebrows stretched out, and a loving expression on her face.
"Just, I don't look like you at all, where did that battle maniac go?" Jack S. D. Sparrow leaned against the door and said with a blank face.
"The Lord has mercy on the world, I fight for the glory of the Lord, and salvation is another battle."
Just turned his head and said: "Her name is Yiyi, she is the child of the previous recorder, since her parents died in the transcendent event, I can hardly see her, I didn't expect to bump into her today when you were celebrating Mass, it seems that this is my lord's arrangement." ”
"I'm only going to cut through the thorns for my lord, not to take the children, Just, I know very well what you're thinking, and unfortunately, when the tide is over in these two days, I'll sail again."
"Hug... Hug..."
Yiyi, who was wearing a purple dress and pigtails, looked innocently at the door, her brown eyes were watery, her hands were open, her pink mouth was cute, and she kept shouting hugs, hugs and other words.
"Qi..."
Jack's brow furrowed, his rugged face unconsciously frozen, and after about ten seconds, he shook his azure blue bishop robe stiffly, and walked to the side of the wooden bed step by step.
"I am only showing mercy for my Lord, and nothing else."
