Chapter 32: Departure
When the residents of Constance were shocked by the miracle in front of them, Crane had already left the city with his suitcase and "Magic Mirror" Arodes.
After making such a big move, he didn't dare to stay for fear of being locked in by Zarathu.
With his current level and strength, he is not too afraid of going head-to-head with Zarathu, but he doesn't want to be attacked by surprise - for the extraordinary person of the "soothsayer" path, being prepared and unprepared are completely two things, once Klein reveals his position and does not leave in time, it will be unprepared for him to face the prepared Zarathu, and the result can be imagined: even if he has become the master of the "Source Fort" and has a chance to be resurrected, there is also a great risk of complete fall.
Moreover, he did not know what state Amon was in now, whether he was still being chased by the "true creator", whether it was possible that he would suddenly appear next to him and "steal" everything.
With this in mind, Klein once again embarked on a journey.
............
South Wales, in the basement of a house.
The only few Sequence 7 Extraordinaries of the Abrahamic family gathered here as agreed.
“...... That's the way it is. Dorian Gray described in full the words of Mr. "The Door" relayed to his student Furth, "Years of banishment and sealing have driven the First Ancestor insane, and only occasionally regained consciousness, even if he spoke directly to him, he had to bear the malice of the polluting spirit." ”
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, like a university professor, sighed and said:
"That's ...... so"
There was a slight relief in his expression, as if he could finally admit that the family curse came from the ancestor's cry for help.
After a pause, the man said with a resolute expression:
"We have to find a way to help the First Ancestor get out of trouble, so that the curse on us will be completely removed. ”
"Verdu, are you crazy, bringing back a mad angel king would ruin the entire family!" Dorian couldn't help but scold.
The man named Verdu glanced at the rest of the family members, lowered his face and said:
"Therefore, it is necessary to return the Ancestor to the real world as soon as possible, while he is still partially conscious!
"Once he is out of the state of being banished and sealed, he will definitely gradually regain his senses with enough anchors.
"Dorian, you have fallen! You no longer want to restore the glory of your family and return us to the top of the North and South Continents, and only hope to live a stable but mediocre life! And can you be sure that Mr. 'Fool' will always provide protection? Maybe one day, like the Seven Gods, he will no longer answer most of the prayers. ”
Dorian was silent for a few seconds and said:
"But the risk is certainly lower than helping the First Ancestor get out of trouble, since I believed in Mr. 'Fool' and prayed to Him devoutly, I have not been affected by the 'Full Moon Whisper' for many months, and if I am not young, I have the confidence to take the potion and become the 'Recorder' of Sequence 6.
"And even so, if I am given a little more time, I will also have a lot of confidence in promotion.
"People like me who are over a certain age can do it, our next generation, the next generation, will definitely be able to get rid of the original restrictions and have the opportunity to open the door of demigods and demihumans. ”
Hearing Dorian's words, the two men and two women outside of Verdu nodded lightly in agreement.
They have converted some of their descendants to Mr. Fool, and after a few months of observation, they have determined that it is really working, and they are planning to start praying to Mr. Fool themselves.
Seeing that Verdu's face was not very good, Dorian slowed down his tone and said:
"What's more, we don't have the strength to complete that ritual right now, and the demigods of either path are not easy to deal with. Among them, the demigods corresponding to 'soothsayers' and 'thieves' are known for their cunning, weirdness, and danger, and even if we are willing to sacrifice ourselves and use '0' level seals, it will be difficult to catch them. ”
Verdu pushed down his gold-rimmed glasses, exhaled slowly, and said:
"I will not prevent you from converting to the 'Fool', if you can ask the Being to help the First Ancestor out of trouble, that would be the best development, but until then, I will do my best to prepare the ritual, Dorian, you must remember that the blood and glory of the House of Abraham came from the First Ancestor, and without Him there would be no us.
"If this matter requires a victim, then I will be the one. ”
With that, he stood up, put on his top hat, and walked to the basement exit.
Dorian watched him go, and sighed for a long time:
"Verdu has been studying all kinds of occult materials in the hope of finding a solution to the family's curse once and for all, and I think this persistence has been integrated into his blood......"
The rest of the Abraham family members nodded one after another:
"When he's sure he's not able to complete the ritual, he'll probably give up......"
They also vaguely hope that Verdu will succeed, but they feel that it is almost impossible.
............
On the island of the Blue Mountains, where the "City of Generosity" Byam is located, it was originally a private harbor for the rebels.
A group of workers who had just finished laying the gas pipes were about to find a place to rest and wait for the carriage sent by the "Poseidon" church to take them and others back to Baiam, when they saw the "half-giants" who were said to come from the northern island of Fusak, carrying heavy gray and white stones, walking one step at a time.
These workers had all been involved in the construction of the port, the church and the art gallery, and knew how heavy the gray stone was.
They remember that with the help of logs, horses, and machinery, it was difficult for people to carry similar stones, and the "half-giants" here were as easy as holding toys.
Such power is simply exaggerated to the extreme.
Seeing that the exterior walls and some of the buildings of the town had been preliminarily built thanks to the efforts of the Silver City Pathfinder team, Derick nodded and said to Candace and Leaval:
"It's time to go back to Silver City and tell the Chief about the situation here. ”
None of the members of the Silver City Pathfinder team objected, and they all excitedly agreed with Elder Darek's decision.
Although they have not been here for too long, they have already deeply liked their new "hometown", the warmth of the sun, and the tranquility of the red moon night, and they can't wait for their relatives and friends to experience and enjoy it.
Seeing this, Darerick's back subconsciously straightened up, he controlled himself, did not let the smile appear, and said calmly to Candace:
"You and I go back to Silver City and tell the Chief and the other elders of the Council of Six about the situation here.
"Well, Gjinod, you too, Lyavar, you are in charge of maintaining order here. ”
Worried that he would not be able to win the trust of the current Chief Waite Hilmon and the others on his own, he brought in two more companions.
After explaining the corresponding matters, Derick led Candace and Ginod to the secluded place of the New Silver City, bowed his head, clasped his hands, prayed to Mr. "Fool", and made a wish to return to the Silver City immediately.
In silence, the scene around them first blurred, stretched, and then fixed and quickly clear.
A wall of weeds fluttering like hair appeared in front of them.
In a matter of seconds, Derick and two of his subordinates were back outside the gates of Silver City.
“...... It's a miracle......" Candace exclaimed, rubbing her eyes with her unarmed hand.
She had thought of many ways to return to Silver City, but she hadn't thought about coming back like this.
For her, it was a miracle from the gods.
Ginnod shook the glass lantern in his hand and muttered without thinking:
"It's much brighter than a skin lantern......"
Before the words fell, he came to his senses and showed a pure, unmischievable smile.
This time, they will be the Dawnbringers who will lead the inhabitants of Silver City out of the Godforsaken Lands.
Derick breathed a sigh of relief and kept his appearance serious:
"We immediately went to the chief and arranged for everyone to get ready for the move. ”
He had heard Mr. "The Hanged Man" talk about many things that were just a bit away from success, and he didn't want Silver City to have a similar ending.
Therefore, the next various affairs, if you can grasp it, you must pay attention to it.
As they passed through the gate, the inhabitants of Silver City, who were in charge of the guards, looked curiously at the three pathfinders, and saw hope in their rosy, glowing faces.
"Aren't they coming back?" asked worriedly, fearing that the rest of the Pathfinder Team had died.
Derick replied simply:
"They stayed outside and built makeshift camps. ”
The guards didn't ask much, fearing that they would be delayed, and just watched Derick and the others go to the Twin Towers.
It wasn't long before Derrick, Candace, and Ginnold met with Chief Waite Shylmon and the rest of the "Council of Six" to describe what their team had seen and heard in the outside world.
At the end of the report, they also took out delicate mechanical artifacts such as pocket watches and music boxes as proof.
Waite Hilmon, who was more than two meters five tall and more than two meters tall with a dark blue symbol tattooed on his head, and the members of the "Council of Six" other than Derick looked at each other and exclaimed:
"Your experience is like a dream, no, I can't even dream of it. ”
After speaking, he said with a solemn expression:
"Has the dungeon where the seals are kept built?"
"It was the first building we finished. Derick gave a very definite answer.
Waite bowed his head lightly and immediately issued an order:
"Have everyone bring the necessary items to the training ground.
"In order to prevent accidents, we prayed directly to Mr. 'Fool' to ask Him to transfer us. ”
Speaking of this, Waite thought for a moment and said:
"Mr. 'Fool' sent down an oracle before, telling us to wait for another three hours for the ancient remnants from Moon City to come and meet, but this does not affect our preparation in advance.
"Also, tell everyone that the living environment of Moon City is difficult, and many people have been distorted, so you have to look at them with normal eyes. ”
Although Silver City has black grass as its staple food, it still eats the flesh and blood of monsters from time to time to replenish its strength, which makes it possible for some of them to occasionally have deformed children, so everyone is no stranger and strange to this phenomenon.
"Good!" The rest of the "Council of Six" members responded without hesitation, their faces uncontrollably excited.
This time, they no longer just see the light, they are welcoming the day.
