Chapter 180: Conversation around the campfire
"Why do you think so? Is it prophecy, or is it some kind of divination? β
Angel asked rhetorically when she heard the declaration of "all dead here".
But apparently her efforts were not successful, and everyone present, except for the ascetics who had been praying sincerely, who seemed to believe in the "Black Sage" of the Aurora Society, who were kind enough to recite the name of the "Creator" in their dreams, all set their eyes on this side.
"Because of the thickness of Grossell's Travels......"
Adevina sat by the fire like a teacher and began to lecture in front of the students:
"I'd studied it many times before I entered here, and found clues beyond the physical properties, such as the inability to damage and open unwritten pages.
"It is based on the time when you 'entered' here, and writes the experiences of the 'protagonists' one by one, starting with the giant guardian Grossell, to the elven singer Shatas, the priest of light Snorman, the former Rune soldier, the current knight of punishment Dragonzel, and finally me and you."
Adevina looked at Angel and signaled that she was the last to enter.
"When I came in, the travelogue was about a quarter of its thickness, and I think you must have seen the new content of my encounter with them before you entered, right?"
"Yes, there are two pages full of travelogues, about how you escaped from the clutches of the 'King of the North' Yurisian and met Grossell."
Angel nodded, she had just learned the real name of the "King of the North" from Grossell.
"Two pages...... Pretty much what I expected, if you didn't encounter danger after joining, there should be one page of content, and all pages of Grossell's Travels have gone through the same amount of time, and there are no subsequent additions, which means ......"
"It means that the 'story' will soon come to an end."
Angel understood what the "teacher" meant, and took over the conversation.
"So, when we continue our adventure for a while, or if a new 'companion' joins, it will come to us, even if we don't go to Yurisian...... This is our own adventure story. β
New Companion ...... Angel's eyes lit up and he spoke:
"If we need a new companion, then maybe we won't have to wait too long, because ......"
"Because someone is going to join in!"
There was a soft and clear voice from the entrance of the cave, but it contained anger, Angel turned her head to look, and the "Elven Singer" Shatas burrowed into the cave, pointed out and said:
"Adevana, another person claiming to be your partner has arrived.
"Three, all men."
Elf, irascible character, "singer"...... ChΓ’tas wouldn't be Sequence 5 of the Sailor's Path, where Mr. Hanged Man pursues the goal of promotion, "Ocean Singer", right?
Angel thought of this first, and then realized who the three men were being referred to.
"It's Gelman, Daniz and Anderson, and they came into the book with me, but they didn't show up in the same place."
"Because this book will describe the twists and turns, but in the end it will always reach the destination, and everyone will come together from dispersion and eventually get acquainted."
Edwina whispered, her face unconcealed with joy, whether it was because her men had come to help at the risk of danger, or because she had seen the light of day.
The two followed Shattas and Grossell, the giant who had regained his feet like a hill, to the outside of the cave, and met Anderson and Daniz, who were surrounded by fire crows for warmth, but still stamping their feet in the cold, who recognized Edvina at a glance and showed a look of ecstasy that was extremely restrained.
Klein stood behind the two of them, trying his best to maintain a tall posture, but from his slightly shaky facial muscles, it could be seen that he also wanted to give up his image, hug his chest and legs like everyone else, and maintain his body temperature.
"Be graceful, but not warm," Angel thought of his first official meeting with Klein in Tingen, when he was sweating in a long tuxedo and silk top hat in the scorching sun.
Feeling her gaze, Crane also looked over, raised his eyebrows, and did not speak.
β¦β¦
After a brief pleasantry, everyone returned to the warm cave and gathered around the campfire, except for Ronzel, who had been changed the guard again, standing outside the cave.
Under the warm introduction of Viscount Mobert, the three new additions quickly exchanged names with everyone and integrated into this inexplicably hospitable team.
Klein apparently had the purpose of dealing with these "ancient characters" and obtaining information before entering "Grossell's Travels", and soon began to talk to Mobet in the Quaternary Age, although Anderson was kicked out of the church school in Lemberg due to his poor grades, but his "conspirator" traits still gave him a knee-jerk behavior of collecting information, except for Danitz, whose eyes kept wandering around his captain, "crazy adventurer" and "strongest hunter", looking pitiful and helpless.
It wasn't until he turned his gaze to Angel, who also pretended to be listening, but was actually lost in things like "The Quaternary Gods Walk on the Earth and Not on the Astral Plane", "The Genealogy of the Lords of the Solomon Empire", that he felt a trace of resonance from the scumbag, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Look at what I'm doing, although I don't understand, but I'm actually trying to remember...... Angel glanced at Daniz disdainfully, then frowned and stuffed the names of the earthly kingdom of the Lord of the Storm and the Goddess of Night, "Storm Abyss" on the island of Passu, and "Deep Heaven" in the Amanda Mountains, so that they could be accessed when needed.
"When I get out of here, I'll sort out what I've learned, and you can refer to it at any time."
Adevina sat down next to Angel at some point and whispered.
"Thank you."
Angel gave her a friendly smile, perhaps because of the similar outfit, or perhaps because of the kind act of entering here despite the danger, and the charm she inadvertently exuded belonged to a witch that made the female pirate general lose his mind for a moment.
With no worries, Angel simply started talking to Edwina, who was clearly double-minded, listening to the conversation around the campfire and chatting with Angel with a match.
ββ¦β¦ How did you know I was missing? β
Klein, a "top student in history," was talking about Solomon's nobleman, Tudor, who eventually founded a new empire, when Edwina suddenly asked.
"Daniz, he sent a letter to Gelman, and then we came, and he volunteered to be the first to enter Grossell's Travels."
Angel singled out the key points to answer Edwina, deliberately highlighting the contribution of "Blaze".
Daniz, who was listening intently, suddenly smiled brightly, causing Anderson, who was sitting across from him, to look at him curiously.
"I see, did you, and him, know before you come in that you're going to face a mighty dragon?" Edvina nodded, glanced at Daniz lightly, looked away, and continued to ask.
"Of course, but I haven't really seen it yet, and I don't know the strength of the 'King of the North', if it has a demigod level, then I'm afraid we'll have to find another way, after all, I can't bring in the charm that can kill and injure demigods."
Angel did not hide his lack of strength, lest the pirate general misjudge the difficulty of the battle that followed.
"It must not have the strength of the high sequence, otherwise I would have been in its belly by now," Edwina replied with a chuckle, "but it should have reached a similar level in terms of frost ability, while the other powers are missing, which is in line with the way the ancient creatures before the discovery of the 'Blasphemous Slate' randomly devouring extraordinary traits, which means crazy, out of control, and in various abilities ranging in strength and weakness." β
Adevina explained carefully, her face glistening in the light of the campfire.
"But we must not underestimate Yurisian, in terms of the strength of extraordinary creatures, the sequence is not everything, for example, if we don't have any extraordinary characteristics with it, it can trample everyone except Grossel to death with just one kick."
Angel nodded knowingly.
This is the difference in size, the dragon's body not only allows the "King of the North" to have attack power far beyond the same sequence, but also allows it to withstand more attacks without dying violently, which is far more terrifying than the gap in the sequence.
Of course, the improvement of the sequence will bring all kinds of strange extraordinary abilities, and the cooperation of different ways can also achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two, otherwise even if everyone present becomes a four-meter-tall giant, it will be very reluctant to deal with a giant dragon.
"Also, what do you mean by 'charm'?"
After answering Angel's doubts, Adwina asked.
"I guess you've heard my nickname lately, right?" Angel received an affirmative answer from Advina before continuing, "The Ship Breaker already has two and a half ships under his command, and these results are all derived from a high-level spell that can even deal lethal damage to demigods, the only drawback is that it must be hit directly...... When I entered here, all the magical items were on me, except for them. β
"Advanced Charm ......"
Hearing this, Adevina fell into a brief deep thought.
"I think it's likely to be a kind of 'limit' ...... of strength"
Just when Angel thought he wouldn't get an answer, the learned pirate general spoke.
"If Grossell's Travels is a magical item that keeps adding new characters to complete the 'story', then it doesn't make the ending too boring. Grossell won't encounter the 'King of the North' until they have assembled a team that can fight against the dragons, and conversely, the dragon slaying team can't be too strong and make the battle one-sided. β
"So, the spell that can directly kill Yurisian is isolated?"
Angel thought for a moment and thought that Adewina's conclusion was very reasonable!
If you are the home of the family who is writing "Grossell's Travels", you will definitely not let the long-awaited final battle happen: "The king of the north, Julisian, was accidentally hit by the 'calamity' and became a pile of dry bones that seemed to have gone through a thousand years".
But the question is, who exactly is this "home"? Is it the travelogue itself, or is it ...... Someone else?
Thinking of this, Angel couldn't help but look at Grossell, the absolute protagonist of this travelogue, who was squinting his eyes enjoying the warm campfire as several old and new companions discussed the Quaternary history that should be the "future" for him.
At this time, the ascetic Snorman of the "Ancient Sun God" clashed with the elven singer Shatas who believed in the "Elf King Sunia Solem" because of differences in faith, and the latter drew a bow and arrow, pointed at Snorman, and the battle was about to break out.
Fortunately, Grossell's prestige was high, and the conflict between the two was resolved in a few words, and Crane also found an opportunity to ask the ascetic who had not spoken before about the names of the angel kings who surrounded the "ancient sun god" before the cataclysm.
Angel is also drawn to a brief conflict, and then hears about several angel kings that she is familiar with.
The dark angel Saslir, the angel of fate Ulorius, the red angel Medici, the angel of time, Amun.
And......
"Fantasy angel, Adam."
Adam!
Angel was struck by lightning.
The mysterious blonde man, the high-level extraordinary man who seems to be the "son of the Creator" who has clear eyes but penetrates Angel's heart, the Adam who claims that Angel's past is false and that everything is in his hands.
It's really the king of angels, a "fantasy angel"!
Boom β
Suddenly, the whole cave shook, and there was a violent aura from outside the cave, as if someone had cut through everyone present with an invisible blade, making them jump from the campfire as if they were facing a great enemy.
"It's Yurisian!"
The "Punishment Knight" Longzel, who was standing guard outside the cave, shouted.
In the next second, an ice-blue flame poured in from the mouth of the cave, enveloping everything around the campfire.
