Chapter 42: The Price
"We're here."
The high-dimensional overlooking person lifted the Furth and Hugh in his hands slightly towards it, and the thunder and lightning went out, and the flight wrapped in thunder and lightning couldn't help but slow down.
The force of the impact smashed the rough sea to a halt for a moment, and the body had become closer to a god than a human being after gaining the extraordinary properties of Sequence Four. Under the ability of the "tyrant" realm, the high-dimensional overlooking person easily stopped on the surface of the sea with the help of the impact.
After a slight confirmation of the location of the Lost Land, the high-dimensional lookdown jumped to his feet and jumped directly onto Crane's ship.
After all, in the eyes of the builder of the ship, even the "Lost Country", which has retracted its own shadow, stands out on the sea.
When they saw the high-dimensional overlooking person descending with a thunderous force, Sharon and Marich immediately became vigilant, first of all, they were both extraordinary beings in the "prisoner" path, and they were naturally hostile to the Orthodox Church. After all, at the moment when the Rose School is raging, no one knows whether the extraordinary person who suddenly appeared in the "prisoner" path is a time bomb.
And even Leonard, who is the Night Church, became nervous when he saw the sequence four demigods of this "storm" pathway, and this second thing thought for a while, is it that Klein once held an important position in the Aurora Society was exposed to the eyes of the Storm Church?
After all, the bishops or cardinals of the Storm Church are almost all demigods of the Storm Path, and the number of demigods in a path is quite limited.
And just when several people on the boat were nervous, Crane suddenly stepped out of it and looked up at his front. He raised his hand and gestured to the crew members of his ship who were still "alive":
"Don't be nervous." Klein said to the few people in front of him, "This is not an enemy. β
"I've brought someone." The high-dimensional lookdown took two steps forward and said, "This is the person my lord has arranged for your ship. β
Yes? When did you start pretending to believe in "fools" too? Well, you're building momentum for me...... Klein was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "I know." β
"Well, if there's nothing to do, I'll go first."
After throwing Hugh, who was still unconscious and holding a golden light pot, to the ground, the high-dimensional seeker left with Furth in one hand. His movements were so swift that his figure even dragged a bolt of lightning in the air.
For several people on the ship, the arrival of the high-dimensional overhead means differently.
For Leonard, this may symbolize the current secret cooperation between the Church of the Storm and the Church of the Night, with the purpose of investigating the current situation at sea and the problem of the Rose School of the Southern Continent raging.
In the past few days, he had exchanged messages with Daly with the help of a messenger recruited by Dalie Simone, who was originally a "psychic". Now Leonard knew that the situation in the southern continent was not optimistic, so much so that part of the church of the Night in East Bailang was attacked by some crazy cultists.
Therefore, after Leonard saw Hugh who was sent by the high-dimensional overlooking person and said the words, he couldn't help but start to ask Parles frantically in his heart.
As for MariΔ, the person he identified as a believer in the "true creator" in his heart was actually related to the Extraordinary Demigod suspected of being the Church of the Storm, which made him quite doubt his previous judgment and wonder what the current identity of the mad captain Gelman Sparrow was.
Finally, there is Sharon, who has just joined the Tarot Society, so when the high-dimensional Lookdown comes and says to Klein, "This is the person my lord has arranged", the first thing that comes to mind is the Mr. Fool who appeared before.
After all, only Sharon has officially joined the Tarot Society among the few people on the ship now, knowing that the "world" is a dependant of Mr. Fool.
On the other hand, Crane, who was standing beside Hugh.
Klein didn't think much of it, but the situation did make it difficult for him to do so. He first ordered the two living corpse crew members on the other side to fetch stretchers from the side and place them in front of him.
After a moment of thought, Crane prepared to take Hugh into the captain's room himself.
When the two of them are alone, he can use the "Source Castle" to communicate with this "girl" who is still in a coma on a spiritual level.
Hugh is called a maiden because, after all, this 1.5-meter arbitrator really looks quite ...... at first glance Small.
Compared with Folth, I can't tell that she is 24 years old at all.
As for whether Klein's upcoming communication with Hugh will be discovered by the Lamp God, Klein is actually not very worried.
First of all, because after playing the role of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" and intimidating the lamp god to get feedback, Klein's "Faceling" potion has obviously been digested.
After digesting the potion, when Crane communicated with the Lamp God before, the appearance of the Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun that he grasped was more vivid, even if the Lamp God still retained some of the ability to snoop on the "Source Castle", Klein still had the confidence to deceive the Lamp God again.
After making up his mind, Crane prepared to send Hugh to the captain's quarters.
But before Klein could do anything, the stretcher flew up on its own, carrying Hugh towards the captain's quarters.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Klein glanced at Sharon in front of him, with a little surprise in his eyes.
Sharon, who was holding the stretcher, glanced at Klein and stood there like a real puppet without saying a word. Crane deflected his body and walked into his captain's room without saying a word, and placed a seal on the door with the help of the "Lost Country" with his backhand.
This kind of confidential matter about his identity Klein still has to be kept secret, after all, in addition to himself and Parles, the two extraordinary people who attract Amon, there are also members of the pirate group who can attract Sharon and Marich who can attract the Rose School, and the "Star Admirals" who may attract superstar masters who are unable to pay attention to other things now.
The only safe thing now is probably Daniz.
After a moment's thought, Crane first disguised a tight sacrificial scene, and then walked four backwards to the gray mist.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Where am I?"
Hugh only felt that she had been asleep for a long time, and she rubbed her temples with her slender fingers and looked up.
Then, however, she found herself not in any familiar place, but in an eerie building surrounded by mostly stones, and she turned her head to look around, and found that she was covered in stones and the place outside the stones was a gray mist.
Immediately afterward, Hugh's spirituality was suddenly touched, and in the direction of spirituality, she looked above her and saw the figure sitting above.
The figure was surrounded by strange tentacles that seemed to be made of gray mist, and its body was shrouded in a cloak that looked like a robe. And in this cloak is a black suit and a white shirt, which makes people look strange at a glance with the old and the new.
This kind of dress gives the impression of being both old and young.
Hugh pursed his lips: "May I ask who you are ......?"
"You may call me a fool."
Crane looked at Hugh and the golden glow on her spirit.
β¦β¦ It seems that this is the imprint of the "god of lights" left in Hugh's subconscious. Crane thought silently.
Immediately afterwards, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said to Hugh in front of him:
"You seem to have some kind of ulterior mark on you."
"I ......"
This...... I think I've met ...... before. Hugh hesitated for a moment, looked at the "fool" in front of him, and opened his mouth slightly:
"I felt before, as if I had a dream. In the dream, I did something that made me feel very confused, but I couldn't control my body through the dream, and then I woke up and found myself in a ......"
After patiently listening to Hugh's words, Klein nodded lightly and said to Hugh according to the words he had prepared earlier:
"In words you can understand, you're now bound to a seal. This seal has the property of being alive, and you become its host. β
There were some things that didn't need to be said to Hugh, which would only add to her troubles. If Hugh knew that she was possessed by a god-level being, it would only make her fall into more trepidation. Therefore, Klein decided to hide part of the facts.
"Living seals......" Hugh was silent for a moment, then looked up at the fool in front of him.
"Did you save me?" Hugh cautiously and humbly said to Crane, "Thank you, Mr. Fool. β
"It's a gesture." Klein nodded, his back relaxed, "But with your current state, maybe you'll fall into that situation again at some point." β
Hugh waited for Mr. Fool's next words.
"I can shelter you, but again, I will give you a commission as the price of sheltering you."
Looking at Hugh, who was waiting for what he was going to say next, Crane's tone was low and relaxed, even a little witty. Under Crane's control, the tentacles in his hand squirmed irregularly, and gently slapped the ground, drawing Hugh's attention.
ββ¦β¦ I'll do my best to finish it. β
Hugh was quite cautious in the face of the existence of an evil spirit or an evil god in front of him, and above the gray mist, Hugh's memory gradually revived, and he realized that he had a terrible existence in his body. And it was the great being in front of him who saved him, otherwise he might have torn his friend to shreds by being controlled in his dreams before.
It is precisely for this reason that Hugh is so humble and sincere with Mr. Fool.
"Go to the Southern Continent with my dependents to investigate the Rose School in the Southern Continent, and if you find anything, I will give you a relative reward." Looking at Hugh in front of him, Klein smiled lightly: "Do you think you can accept such a price?" β
"I accept." Hugh paused slightly, lowered his head, and said to Mr. Fool in front of him, "Thank you for your kindness. β
For Hugh, she is basically careful to be respectful and kind to the people who have saved her. And in the face of such a terrifying and evil looking powerful being, even if the previous kindness may have been a trap to lure her into, Hugh still maintained her most basic respect.
With that, Hugh glanced around and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, how can I contact you......"
"I'll give you my name."
Crane said to Hugh, "After you have successfully investigated the Rose School, you can recite my name, and I will allow you to join my party." β
"Is that all it takes?" Hugh was visibly a little uneasy, the price was a little too simple in all the horror legends she had seen and heard, but Crane in front of him only nodded slightly:
"Now the situation in the Southern Continent is worse than you think."
"Heh, and your friends are on top of the party you're about to attend."
Friend? Forth...... Hugh's heart was sure that she saw the Fool who was above her, and said to him sincerely:
"I will definitely fulfill your commission."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The high-dimensional downlook dragged the Furth in his hand out of thin air from the fluttering silk threads, he glanced at the Furth in front of him, a smile rippled on his face, and said to him:
"We're in place."
"Arrived? This is the Southern Continent? β
Miss Salted Fish fluttered twice, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked ahead. In front of her was a relatively small manor, and the high-dimensional overlooking person walked straight into the room, and as soon as she pushed the door open, Firth saw a figure that looked exactly like her teacher.
The figure smiled and backhanded open the other door, and Forth couldn't help but open his mouth as he looked at the scene in the door that had been opened.
Above the door was a corridor in a shape he had never seen before, and in the distance was a dilapidated looking city.
"Welcome to the 'real' Southern Continent, Firth." The high-dimensional overlooking man opened his hands and said to Furth with a smile on his face:
"Welcome to the abyss on earth."
"Welcome to 'Hell.'"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"High-dimensional overlooker, little Klein released my pigeon again." The Fallen Mother Goddess looked at the high-dimensional downlook in front of her with some "sadness" and complained to him: "Last time, he obviously promised me to let me go to the Tarot Society. β
"Ha, didn't you say before that you were finally able to go to the Tarot Society?"
The high-dimensional lookdown originally wanted to gloat at the mother goddess, and then his face became serious. He thought of an unfortunate possibility:
"You mean, Klein 'forgot' about it? Who can do it? Adam and Amon didn't know where Fort Source was now......"
"Old days." The Fallen Mother Goddess said to the high-dimensional overlooker:
"It can only be the old days."
"None of us noticed, an old day broke through the weak point of the barrier, and it affected Klein slightly."
Good morning, everyone!
The reason why the mother goddess didn't go to the Tarot Society is waiting here (^0^)
