Chapter 34: Gao Wei, why did the demon come here that day?
On an invisible island by the sea, a dark shadow squirmed towards the shore with a terrifying momentum. A young girl seemed to appear in the middle of the shadow, singing a song in a language that no one could understand, and turned into a shadow and melted into the sea.
The Fallen Mother Goddess looked at the ocean in the distance, the sticky black tentacles around her fused into the shape of a ship; He stood in the center, waving his thousands of tentacles, and slowly sailed towards the Rorsted Islands.
At the same time, Alger moored his ancient ghost ship, the Blue Avenger, in a private harbor and walked out with a calm expression. There was an unconcealable irritability in his expression, but his movements were quite calm.
He would wait a day until Tuesday before heading to the Rorsted Islands to make formal contact with the "Priestess" lady and explore the pristine island he had discovered with Zielingers.
Under the notarization of Mr. "Fool", he was not afraid that the "priestess" lady, who already had the strength of a demigod, would take away the blasphemy card of the "storm" path in the primeval island, he only needed to know that the potion contained in it was enough.
However, Alger really didn't dare to show himself in front of the others as if he was attending the tarot meeting and was completely unprepared.
"Tarot will ......"
Alger took a deep breath and walked towards the front with a firm footstep.
β¦β¦
As a gray mist rose in front of everyone, Alger saw Mr. "Fool" sitting on the throne, as deep and indifferent as ever. This made Alger feel a great envy in his heart, and made him yearn for stronger strength.
This is the power of the gods! Someday...... Alger clenched his fists and thought silently in his heart.
For the rest of the day, Alger thought there would be a long period of strength after getting the extraordinary item. At that point, he doesn't have to worry about his subsequent recipes, and can try to exchange the extraordinary properties he needs through Mr. "Fool" and "White Tower".
But this also requires a considerable degree of resources...... Poverty is following me like a shadow, and for a long time I will not be able to escape this terrible curse......
But! The only thing that can stand in my way to becoming an angel now is my own progress in digesting potions, and I may not be able to request potions from the Church of Storms......
Still, I need to do some camouflage. After this trip to the Pristine Island, I can't use the name of going out on a mission to put back the time back in Beckland.
Moreover, Beckland's new archbishop has been involved with the Rune Empire for quite some time, and I don't know what kind of attitude he will have towards me, a "heretic" who may believe in other gods......
Alger took a deep breath and waited quietly for the tarot meeting to begin.
After the opening of the Tarot Society, he saw the "world", which had never spoken much, looking at the people in front of him, and showed a gloomy smile at them:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool'. A few days ago, I killed the pirate general of the seas, 'Admiral Disease' Tracy, and made her my secret puppet. β
After saying this to Mr. "Fool", Klein nodded to himself, and according to his previous habit of controlling multiple secret puppets to perform secret puppet plays, he once again "talked to himself" to the "world" dummy in front of him:
"Well done."
Is this Mr. Fool's family reporting to Mr. Fool? This is the first time I've seen it, why would the "world" suddenly report his mission to Mr. "Fool" openly at the tarot meeting?
Alger the "Hanged Man" didn't think about the fact that the powerful pirate general "Sick Girl" had been killed by the "world", but focused his current thoughts on what the meaning of Mr. "Fool's" trip was.
He couldn't help but add in his heart:
Perhaps Mr. Fool wants to push his power deeper into reality, and his current actions are implying that we too can be His favorers?
Mr. "Fool" is willing to set up a meeting before God, which is already His kindness to us; So what's next for us? Do we have to serve Mr. "Fool" as religiously as the extraordinary people in the Orthodox Church in order to gain the favor of Mr. "Fool"?
No, it shouldn't be, after all, Miss "Justice" has also joined the "Church of the Night Goddess......
"Justice" and I are members of the Tarot Society who established the Tarot Society together with Mr. "Fool", and compared to other members, we have the advantage of having earlier contact with Mr. "Fool", and together with Mr. "Fool", we have become strong step by step from weakness and weakness.
If Mr. "Fool" really thinks so, then perhaps becoming a friend of Mr. "Fool" and becoming a friend of the gods will give me a greater chance of promotion.
As long as you can become an angel who holds the highest power in the world, an angel who is only a person under the gods. Even if I have to give everything, I am willing to exchange this power......
Alger's eyes darkened, and he muttered silently, as if he had made up his mind.
He had a rather terrifying desire for his own strength and status due to his childhood experiences and the unique effects of the "Storm" pathway, while the others obviously didn't think as much or as deeply as Alger, they were just amazed at the strength of Mr. "World" and his ability to quickly take out a pirate admiral.
And Audrey looked at some of the members of the Tarot Society (Mr. Moon) who did not know the true strength of the "world", and looked a little proud for a while.
Mr. "World" is a true demigod, and for him, it is natural that he can solve an ordinary Sequence Five Extraordinary!
Knowing that "the world" is equivalent to "the professor", Audrey is sincerely proud of the teacher who led her into the occult world.
Of course, Audrey doesn't know that Crane meets her mother, a Sequence 3 Sage, while solving the "Sick Girl". It even made Klein have to use his "modern scholar" ability to temporarily shake up the talent to deal with this thorny enemy.
After a brief moment, Audrey looked at the people around her as if they were waiting for someone to speak first, so she straightened her hair slightly. Stood up and said to the others:
"Ladies and gentlemen, after this week's investigation in Beckland, I, the 'Magician', and the 'Trial' have now investigated some of the secrets about Beckland."
Audrey paused and continued to speak to the crowd, "On the third floor of Becklandβah, this place you can understand as the eastern side of the original Beckland; There we found many traces of witches and demons in action, and we guessed that it was very likely that the witch sect and the demons of the Southern Continent had gathered here to prepare for some secret ritual. β
"And, Ms. 'Magician' has heard a rumor. That is, before the Beckland Cataclysm, there were people who carried out rituals and experiments to worship demons in Beckland, and even arranged a huge ritual magic to summon the abyss, but the magic of the demon worshipper ultimately failed because of the Beckland Cataclysm. β
In this way, is there a hidden story behind Beckland's cataclysm? Wait a minute...... Ritual magic that summons the abyss? Why does this description sound so familiar to me...... Klein glanced at the high-dimensional over-the-top person not far away, and the high-dimensional over-the-top person was stunned for a moment:
"The abyss?"
"Wait, Miss Justice. Where exactly are the demons you found in Beckland? β
Since the administrative division of Beckland was changed more seriously by the order of Arista Tudor, part of the third floor also corresponds to the original Jowood district and even Queens.
ββ¦β¦ These are the places. β
With the help of the power above the gray mist, Audrey manifested in front of her a map of the location of the demon that she had previously marked in reality.
Seeing that Audrey only "wrote" a map with her own consciousness on top of the gray fog, Klein stretched out his hand slightly, and the gray fog squirmed on the table, and soon an identical paper appeared in front of everyone.
ββ¦β¦ Why do you gather in these places? Alger's brow furrowed, a little dull in thought.
"Is there some occult connection here?" Mr. "Moon" Emlyn White racked her brain to think about the occult knowledge she knew, as if she wanted to get the meaning of the demons gathered here.
"Demonic ......"
"Sun," Derick Berg thought, looking a little dazed. His mind reflected only the pus-dripping pus in Silver City, with marks of sulfuric acid and twisted pieces of flesh that had been fueled by flesh and blood that had been piled up and burning with flames.
The outside world is horrible.
After thinking about it for a while, Derrick Berg thought heartily. After all, in his cognition, there were so many out-of-control monsters gathering even where he lived, and the outside world was indeed even more terrifying than in Silver City.
He seemed to understand some of the immigrants from the Rune Empire and elsewhere in Silver City now that they thought the "Godforsaken Lands" they had long regarded as "the root of all the curses and tragedies on them" could be so beautiful.
One of the reasons for this was that Derrick had always known in his heart that there were already true gods in the Silver City to protect them, so that they would not have to worry about their children dying of hunger; So that they don't have to worry about killing their loved ones so that they don't turn into terrifying evil spirits.
And the second reason may be because there are actually many terrible enemies in the outside world, and there are also many terrible existential disasters.
The high-dimensional down-looking person on the side glanced at the map made by Audrey herself in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Boy.
βHis family.
β¦β¦
Facing Klein's somewhat scrutinizing eyes, he put down the map in his hand and said to the people in front of him:
"I set it up."
Seeing everyone's eyes projected onto themselves one after another with their own tones, the eyes of the high-dimensional looking down were quite calm:
"When the Aurora Church had not yet turned into a regular before, in order to arrange the ritual for the real creator god to descend, I built a ritual magic on top of that ritual to summon the 'dark side of the universe', but I didn't fill the core of this ritual with ritual materials, so this ritual magic naturally failed."
Or rather, the ritual was not going to succeed in the first place. However, I didn't expect that after Beckland rebuilt it once, this ritual magic would still have some remnants in Beckland, and it was not destroyed. β
"Maybe these demons are following the trail of the abyss that summons the abyss, and want to find the abyss of their faith."
The high-dimensional overlooking man spread his hands and said to the few people around him:
"Of course, now that I know the situation, I'll find someone to deal with these demons."
"But I think it's best to keep tracking, these demons may not only appear in these places, maybe there are other directives behind them, and a bigger conspiracy is brewing in the dark."
Audrey nodded, deciding to leave the matter past for now. After a short pause, he asked:
"In addition, the few of us have another discovery. There are now many adventurers and mercenaries among the Extraordinary of Bakeland, who have told of their own experiences of being attacked by witches in their dreams. β
"Do you know anything about this? Do you know if the witch has similar abilities in this area? β
"Now we suspect that some of these adventurers and mercenaries want to use their own ...... Dreams, with the help of these, add some bragging points to yourself. But this rumor may indicate that there is a hidden reason for this. β
"For example, the high-sequence 'audience' ......"
Audrey was halfway through her words and suddenly fell silent, and everyone at the tarot meeting fell into a state of thought. It was only after a while that Alger frowned and made a guess.
"Perhaps this incident as a whole is a kind of false rumor. Maybe it has nothing to do with witches, but it's just that the recent rampant witches of Beckland have caused this rumor to spread among the extraordinary, and even among some ordinary adventurers. β
"As far as I know, certain powerful spirit creatures, some special extraordinary, and even high-level viewers are able to do all of this."
The special extraordinary, in Alger's mouth, naturally refers to the night watchmen of the Night Church, among whom the "nightmares" of Sequence Seven can enter other people's dreams.
But this obviously did not match the usual image of the Night Church, and the Night Church had no motive to do this, so he didn't say anything more.
Those who understand will naturally understand the meaning of Alger's words.
ββ¦β¦ It's a 'Fallen Dryad', but I didn't expect to see such a nasty creature here. β
The "priestess" lady on the side opened her mouth with a smile on her face, obviously wanting to give the members of the tarot meeting a little shock of the starry sky gift system.
- Why did the devil enter Beckland?
- Because I let the demons in.
