Chapter 180: Veris
PS: Thank you Sunblade, the reserved commuter pass
Surrounded by a lush forest, the breeze stirs the leaves with a soft rustling sound.
Gehr looked back in the direction he had come from, and a dark doorway stood abruptly in the middle of the woodland, wide and tall, and looked about the size of the light gate on the platform.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from the entrance of the passage and walked out slowly.
It's Beliff.
The old gentleman's face was a little pale, but he seemed to be in good shape.
"As I like, you two passed without a hitch. Bellive's gaze shifted around, and then he heard Ger and Carmelita's bodies, and a look of satisfaction.
"Where is this?" asked Gehr. His voice was still a little hoarse, and the effects of the passage hadn't completely dissipated.
"This is Big Fedak. ”
"Big Fedac?" the goddess looked at Belif, a hint of strangeness flashed in her eyes, "I haven't heard of it, where is this place name?"
"It's the way it should be, if you haven't heard of it. Belif smiled mysteriously, "This world is called Veris, a forgotten world. ”
"Veris?" Ger and Carmelita looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
"Okay, you'll be clear about this soon, let it go, and the others will come out soon. ”
He followed Belif to the side, and soon, there was a new movement in the passage, and the members of the Holy Spirit Sect came out one after another, and everyone who came out seemed to have collapsed. As soon as you arrive at the woodland, you will be on the ground.
Under Bellive's watch, Gehr and Carmelita can only work as porters. Move the person who fell outside the mouth of the passage to the side, shortly after. When the first few people recovered, Gehr and Carmelita gave up the job.
Unlike people, the horses pulling the carts did not seem to be affected in any way, but had a more spiritual feeling.
The rest of the people walked out of the passage one by one, and Gehr saw Gudar, Bertalman, Natalia, and other people he knew.
After about ten minutes, the passage began to blur, then began to flicker, and after nearly a minute, it began to dissipate.
"Save ...... Help me!"
At this time. A terrible scream came from the entrance of the passage.
When everyone looked over, they saw that the upper body of a male cultist was exposed outside the passage, and the lower body was inside the passage that was about to dissipate, as if it was stuck.
Seeing this, a few familiar disciples subconsciously wanted to step forward and pull him out.
"Don't go over!
Beliff lunged forward, grabbing the shoulders of the two cultists who wanted to come to the aid of his companions, and shouted a warning as he spoke. ”
Hearing Bellive's scream, everyone subconsciously stopped, but they still couldn't stop everyone completely.
Another person because he was closer to the entrance of the passage. So in the short moment when he was stopped by the stuck cultist calling for help and Belif stopped him, he had already walked to the side of the passage, and when he heard Bellive's warning, he subconsciously stopped. But this time. The stuck cultist suddenly showed a strange smile, and the whole person was like a wax figure being fused by fire, and his body began to collapse. It turned into countless black gases, entangled the disciples nearby. Pulled him into the darkness at once.
"No!"
A short scream rang out, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared along with the entrance of the passage.
"What's that. Why did you never say that? Goodard looked at Belif and questioned angrily.
"I don't know. I told you that as long as you run out of the passage before it disappears, you will be safe, and if you can't escape, you will have to die inside. As for the current situation, I don't know. Belif replied calmly.
"Humph!"
Hearing Belif say this, Goodard snorted angrily, but did not continue to ask.
"The people who just came out took a break, and the others began to count the number of people and count the supplies. ”
Gehr and Camerita stayed under a tree to the side, watching as the cultists got busy again.
"Veris?" the goddess muttered as her eyes were a little distracted.
"Well, you know this place?"
"No, I just seem like I've seen it somewhere. "Camerita thought to herself, "I just can't remember it all at once." ”
"Think slowly, don't rush. Gehr comforted him, but it didn't seem to have much effect. Knowing the goddess official until now, it seems that only this kind of knowledge can make her a little entangled.
"Something is wrong, there are a lot fewer people. Seeing that the people of the church were counting the whole team, Gehr also counted the number of people by the side, not counting him and Camerita, there were fifty-eight people in total, but there were no less than two hundred people on the platform at that time.
Could it be that someone is still on the other side?
Obviously not, the people on the platform at that time were obviously going to enter the light gate channel, so there is only one answer, most people did not come out in that channel, looking at the situation just now, there will be no chance to come out again.
Carmelita looked at the situation and came to the same conclusion as Geral.
Thinking of the strange burning sensation before, Gehr was still a little jealous.
Soon the people of the Holy Spirit Sect counted the number of people, and as Gehr had calculated, there were still fifty-eight people left, plus five taels of iron cage carriages covered with black cloth, and seven ordinary freight carriages, most of which were supplies and tents. One of the carriages seemed to have a special interest to Beliff, and he looked at the contents carefully before he walked away, and the contents were just as clear as Gel's point of view, and it was a box of books.
It was indeed a curious thing, the journey did not seem to be an easy task, and there must have been a special reason why it was useless to carry a cart of books in a carriage that could carry a large number of supplies, and which was especially favored by Bellive.
After counting and preparing the personnel and supplies, Belif took out what looked like a map and spread it out on the ground. Start researching.
Gehr leaned over and looked at it, and it was indeed a map. But instead of paper, it's a very peculiar leaf. On the verdant page, a rough outline of an area was drawn with a thick black line, marked with a strange kind of writing, which, judging by Bellive's appearance, was evidently understood.
After looking at the map for a while, Belif took out another crystal pendant and shone it into the sun for a while, then thought about it, crouched down again and began to look at the map.
"How's it going?" Goodard asked, as Bertalman and Booms followed closely behind him.
"We should be on the west side of the Great Fidak Forest. The following should be walked northeast, through the Great Fidak Forest, which is estimated to take two days. Belif replied.
"Once you have decided on the route, let's go, this time the church has paid such a big price, and it must not fail. ”
"Don't worry, I've been preparing for this for ten years, and I'm not going to let it fail. Beliff's voice was firm.
"That's for the best. Goodard's gaze stayed on the map for a moment before looking away, "I'll go feed my little cuties first, and then you'll go straight after you're here." ”
After all that's said. Goodard walked away towards the black-clothed carriage, which pulled open and walked in, while his two disciples stayed outside.
An eerie voice came from the black cloth. It's like the cry of a baby, and it's like the sound of the wings of a flying insect vibrating, and it's very disturbing to hear.
Anyway, this "tour group" of the Holy Spirit Sect is full of mysteries.
"I thought about it. Carmerita said abruptly.
Gehr turned his head. Looking at the goddess officer: "What do you think?"
"Verris, I know where I've seen Veris. Carmelita didn't wait for Gell to ask again. "It is mentioned in the Genesis section of the Book of Sayings of the Massafhans that God created another paradise. That paradise is called Veris. ”
"I've also read the holy word books of several sects, so they should be considered myths, and myths really exist?" Gehr asked curiously.
"The years come and go, memories evolve into legends, legends fade into myths, and finally become stories, although the past is difficult to determine, but it is always possible to find clues at that time, but for the relationship between Veris and Everis, now only he can be clear. Camerita was referring to him, of course, Bellive.
Gehr looked towards Bellive, the old gentleman was seriously taking a pen and writing something in a notebook, from this point of view, this white deacon of the Holy Spirit Sect did have the demeanor of a wise scholar, but on the other hand, he was a cold-blooded and cruel butcher, and these two incompatible factors were perfectly combined in him, giving him a very unique leadership style.
"Aydin...... Aydin ......"
After a while, Beliff's research came to an end. He asked the Holy Spirit to get ready to go, and as if he had suddenly thought of something, he began to shout loudly.
Only, no one responded.
Aydin's name Gehr remembered, it was the person who rushed into the Gate of Light with a string, and it stands to reason that he should be the first to arrive here, after all, he also pulled the rope to signal the people on the other side of the door, but Gehr thought about it carefully, as if he hadn't seen the cultist since he and Carmelita walked through the door.
Everyone present also sensed that something was wrong, and looked around at their companions to see if Aydin was among them.
Soon, a piece of information was confirmed—Aydin was not among the fifty-eight Holy Spirit cultists present.
"Follow the rope. Beliff commanded in a low voice.
The cultists immediately began to search, and soon found the rope that led them to it. One end of the rope connected to where the passage had been, the other end had been severed, and the other end extended all the way into a dense forest on the side.
"Don't go in. Belif stepped forward, stopping the other cultists from following the rope into the forest, while he crouched at the edge of the forest to check for traces on the ground.
"Did you feel that something was wrong with this place. Gehr watched the actions of the cultists, and suddenly a warning sign floated in his heart.
"It was so quiet. Carmerita closed her eyes and whispered.
"Quiet? yes, it's quiet. Gehr immediately thought of what was wrong, the forest was too quiet.
Except for the sound made by the people of the Holy Spirit, there was no birdsong, no beast roar, only the lonely wind, as if there was a dead silence.
"Stand back, don't make a sound," Belif snapped to his feet, looked up, and commanded in a cold voice.
The cultists immediately retreated, returning to where the convoy was, and fell silent, not daring to make any noise.
Without the voices of these people, the forest fell silent, giving the illusion of being isolated in another dimension.
Tension began to creep in.
Everyone seemed to hear their own heartbeats, beat after beat, and it was very clear. (To be continued......)
