Chapter 138: The "Giant" Path (The Third Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
The Creator ...... All-Knowing and Almighty...... Klein leaned back, maintaining a profound posture, repeating the key words in the words of the Silver City boy in his heart.
He is no stranger to the "creator of everything", "The Book of Storms", "Apocalypse of the Night" and the creator in folklore have similar titles, and the "true creator" believed in by secret organizations such as the Aurora Society is also described in the same way.
But "the all-knowing and all-powerful god", Klein heard of it for the first time in this world, neither the goddess of the night, nor the lord of storms, nor the god of steam and machines, claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent.
If, if Silver City is really in the "Godforsaken Land", the "Godforsaken Land" really belongs to this world, the "all-knowing and all-powerful God" may be the honorific title of the Creator by those creatures in ancient times...... Klein looked thoughtfully at the boy opposite, at his sad and painful emotional color.
Darek felt the Fool's gaze and involuntarily lowered his head a little.
Recalling the contents of the book and the legend told by his parents, he said slowly and sadly:
"When the sun disappears from the sky, when the clouds are torn out of the cracks, when the lightning and thunder become dominant, the monsters hidden in the depths of darkness suddenly appear, they are so terrifying, so unimaginable, that the cities of the Silver Country are destroyed one after another...... The 'Deep Age of Darkness' for mankind has come. ”
"The remnants of the mighty gathered in the Silver City, relying on the united strength and two magical items, finally resisted the attack of the 'Dark Things', and gradually cleared the area within a day's journey of ordinary humans, and established a city-state that sheltered the last flames of human civilization. ”
Standard textbook statement...... Klein couldn't help but comment in his heart.
The other party's description always made him feel that the area where Silver City was located was not in the same world as the Northern Continent.
Maybe that's what makes Godforsaken special?" he thought without the slightest emotion.
Derick breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"In the first few decades, the plant could not grow, Silver City was severely short of food, and had to hunt fleshy dark monsters and certain mutated animals to feed its hunger, and the population began to decline uncontrollably. ”
"It is considered to be the last favor left by the great gods, and it has kept Silver City alive from generation to generation, for two thousand five hundred and eighty-two years in the 'Age of Darkness'. ”
"This is the time recorded by the 'chiefs' of the past generations, and the other people of Silver City regard the days when there is more lightning and the night when the lightning subsides, and one alternates into a day...... Because this is often confusing, we don't have the exact number of days. ”
What a strange place...... Klein was glad he hadn't taken tomorrow for granted, but rather vaguely described it as the next two days.
After a brief account of a few things to remember in the history of the Silver City, Derrick turned to say:
"As the population has recovered to a certain extent, the number of the Extraordinary has also increased, and the Council of Six has begun to organize elite teams to explore the darkness, and recently, to this day, we have explored the original land and the nearby city-states, and are heading towards the thicker and more terrifying depths of darkness, where at the edge of it, we have found a number of strange but destroyed cities, which we suspect are the refuge established by the remaining humans, and unfortunately, they are still swallowed by the 'dark things'. ”
The "dark things" he describes should refer to all kinds of monsters hidden in the depths of darkness that are unimaginable to normal people...... Crane nodded imperceptibly.
“...... The Silver Nation was once under the rule of the Giant Court, so the extraordinary chain we have at our disposal is the 'Giant' path, which we also call the 'Divine Blood Warrior' path...... When we kill certain monsters, we get some potion recipes for other sequences while exploring those ruined cities, but the chain is incomplete and more or less mutilated. Darek began to explain the current state of the Silver City.
Hearing this, Klein suddenly perked up, and although his posture had not changed much, he was obviously more focused.
My favorite thing to learn about Sequence Potions!Giant's Court...... Silver City and the Northern Continent have the same history?The history of the Second Age...... Well, killing monsters will drop the formula? It's a game, right? No, there's another possibility, those monsters used to be humans, extraordinary beings...... Crane suddenly felt a little heavy.
Seeing that the fool did not say anything, Derick gritted his teeth, and said after deliberation:
"The potion recipe names for the 'Giant' path are, in that order, Sequence 9 'Transcendent Warrior', Sequence 8 'Gladiator', Sequence 7 'Master of Weapons', Sequence 6 'Knight of Dawn', Sequence 5 'Guardian', and Sequence 4 'Demon Hunter', with higher sequences known only to the Elders of the Council of Six. ”
Sequence 4 "The Demon Hunter" ...... This is the name of the high-order potion formula? This is the first time I've ever known anything like it!Klein was relieved that he had finally mastered the "title" of a high-order powerhouse, but he suspected that it was an ancient name, different from the current description of the North Continent, just as "Storm Priest" was different from "Navigator".
Well, transcendent warriors, gladiators, masters of weapons...... Sounds familiar...... By the way, the complete sequence mastered by the God of War Church is very similar to this one! Sequence 9 "Warrior", Sequence 8 "Fighter", Sequence 7 "Weapon Master"! Due to the issue of secrecy, Crane only knows the names of the first three recipes of the complete sequence of the God of War Church, but this does not prevent him from equating the two.
From the core meaning, it is basically the same...... The complete sequence mastered by the Church of the God of War turned out to be the so-called "giant" path...... This deity, who is said to have appeared only in the Third Age, the Age of Cataclysm, inherited the legacy of the Giants' Court, or was he an ancient giant himself?
Derick added:
"After the initial hardships, Silver City has been ruled by the 'Council of Six', in which the highest elder is honored as the 'Chief', and the other five are equally high...... The current 'Order of Six' consists of three 'Demon Hunters', two 'Guardians' with the most potential, and a 'Shepherd'. ”
Rub, there are three high-order powerhouses in the Silver City! Demigod and half-human powerhouses! This alone can destroy the Tarot Society hundreds of times...... Klein listened to it for a while, he hadn't tried to "pull people" under the noses of high-level powerhouses.
However, considering that the teenager opposite was just an ordinary person, not even a sequence 9, and he would definitely not receive the attention of the high-ranking person for a long time, he put his mind at ease again.
"Shepherd", which is an incomplete sequence in another sequence...... It sounds very similar to the style of the "Aurora Society", and the "Aurora Society" member whose name I forgot kept mentioning "the Lamb of the Lord" in his letter to Mr. Z...... Crane maintained a leisurely posture and asked casually:
"Shepherd?"
"Yes, this is the sequence path we found from those cities that were destroyed by the 'dark things', only to sequence 5 'Shepherd', but, but Elder Lovia is very powerful, very weird, very terrifying, and is said to have fought against high-level evil spirits and was not injured, so, after the 'Council of Six' seat became vacant, she made an exception to become an Elder. Darek replied with some fear.
Klein thought for a moment, smiled and asked:
"What's the prelude to 'shepherd'? I feel familiar with that, you know, there's always a difference between a historical name and a modern name. ”
"In the Silver City, the name of potions has never changed. Derrick instinctively retorted, then lowered his head and said, "Sequence 9 'Secret Invoker'......"
Sure enough, Klein was satisfied that his conjecture had been confirmed.
This is the name of Sequence 9 of "Aurora Club"!
"Sequence 8 'The Whisperer', Sequence 7 'The Hermit', Sequence 6 'The Rosary', Sequence 5 'The Shepherd'. Derick told what he knew.
The whisperer, the listener, almost...... Hey, I can learn more about the information on the Tingen branch of the Nighter...... Klein was in a good mood and motioned for Derick to continue.
Derick gave a general description of the current state of the Silver City, and finally couldn't help but mention:
"We suffer the curse of fate, whether it is ordinary people, or extraordinary people, they will become evil spirits after death, but the evil spirits turned into extraordinary ones are more weird, terrifying and difficult to deal with, in history, this curse has almost destroyed the Silver City several times, and the only solution is to end the lives of the deceased by the hands of people of the same bloodline. ”
"It's a cruel thing, I hope you can become strong and find a way to rid the people of Silver City from the curse. The "fool" Klein with an empty shelf can only pour chicken soup for the other party that does not require money.
"So, I want to be the sun, to be the sun...... While the sun was still shining on the earth, we were not cursed. Derrick whispered hard and painfully.
Klein nodded slightly:
"You're going to have a chance, remember, I'm going to pull you in here again anytime for the next two days, and you try to avoid being around other people. ”
"Okay. Derrick replied in a deep voice.
"Before that, you need to decide on your code name. Crane smiled and pointed to the surface of the bronze table, where a deck of tarot cards had appeared.
Believing that the other party had never been exposed to such things, he gave a brief introduction: "Pick a card to be your code name, except for the Fool, the Righteous and the Hanged Man." ”
Darek took two steps forward, flipped through the tarot cards, and said with little hesitation:
"'Sun', I choose 'Sun'. ”
"Remember your choice, and it will stay with you for the rest of your life. Crane said in a familiar tone of genius.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand and broke off contact with great self-control, and then watched the crimson light retract, watching the teenager on the other side turn into a phantom and dissipate little by little.
