Chapter 1 Welcome
The open gray-blue gates, the stone staircase leading down, the golden sea, and the ubiquitous light once again caught the eyes of the inhabitants of the Silver City, such as Liabal and Candace.
As members of the previous exploration team, this was not the first time they had seen this picture, but they were still deeply shocked and subconsciously held their breath.
Carrying the "Thor's Roar" giant hammer, Deric stood at the forefront, two meters tall, with broad shoulders, and was silent.
After nearly a minute, Liawar spoke tentatively:
"Elder Berg, when are we going out?"
He is a Sequence 5 "Guardian", nearly two meters and a half tall, with slightly abnormal proportions of hands and feet.
Darek stared at the rippling golden patches of the sea for several seconds before he said:
"Wait a little longer. ”
At this time, many days had passed since he opened this door, and he had led the exploration team back to Silver City with the ashes, characteristics, and seals of the Chief and Elder Lovia, and used that secret to gain the trust of the current leader of the "Council of Six", Waite Hilmon.
This time, Darek will lead twenty Silver City Extraordinaries as pathfinders to find a safe passage and confirm the situation in the outside world.
In this matter, he rejected Mr. "World's" proposal to use the "Star Staff" to directly transfer the entire Silver City out of the Forsaken Land, wanting to measure the path of hope step by step with his own feet, remembering what the "Dawn" that Silver City finally found after more than 2,000 years of perseverance and sacrifice.
Hearing Elder Derrick's answer, the members of the pathfinder team, such as Liaval and Candace, didn't say much, and each took a step back to continue enjoying the view.
They still have a little distrust of Derick Berg, after all, he has close ties with outsiders, and the Chief and Elder Lovia both died in the previous exploration, only the "Darkless One" and the outlander survived, if it weren't for the "Council of Six" choosing to trust Derik, they would definitely be more hostile and resistant than wary at this time.
After a while, the golden sea was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
In the depths of the darkness, a faint fog can be seen, and in the mist, there is a black church with a spire and various buildings, giving people a sense of reality and fantasy.
For the darkness, Derick and others are no strangers at all, instinctively glowing and shining, lighting grease candles, busy but not chaotic.
It wasn't until the group of twenty-one people was protected by the light that they looked at the misty town and the shadowy pedestrians, unable to understand what was going on.
This is not the darkness they are familiar with.
At this moment, Dareik, who naturally radiated pure brilliance on his body, raised his left hand and said in a low voice:
"Let's go. ”
Without waiting for the team to respond, he took the first step, through the gate, down the stone staircase outside, step by step into the darkness.
Liabal, Candace and the others glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and walked out of the Giant King's residence without lagging behind the newly appointed Elder of the Council of Six, Derick Berg.
In the thick darkness, they walked up the stairs when their eyes suddenly lit up, and they saw an orange glow and a black monastic building.
"Is this the outside world?" Candace looked around warily and curiously, and found that she and the others had unknowingly walked to the opposite side of the "Giant Court", separated from the original place by a sea of orange clouds.
"It's not. Comparing the current environment with the descriptions of Mr. "World" and "Ms. Hermit", Derrick nodded slightly, "We need to wait here for a while, and you can each find a place to rest." ”
This "darkless one", who no longer has the slightest sense of youth, calmly arranges everything.
Glancing at the black monastery with the door closed, Liawar asked, slightly puzzled:
"Don't you have to explore here, look for an exit?"
"No, I don't. Darek shook his head.
The members of the Pathfinder team didn't ask any more questions or rest, but still stood still, patiently waiting.
As the minutes and seconds passed, the dazzling sunlight suddenly shone into the world, making everything white, and then faded and disappeared.
Darek, Candace and the others subconsciously looked around, saw the golden ocean again, and felt the terrifying aura that made them dare not look at it directly.
However, unlike before, they were on an island, and behind them were a cluster of large, golden, smiling strange plants, and that state without a hint of depravity and distortion made every member of the Silver City Pathfinder team sincerely experience the joy of life.
It's really out...... It's really a different world...... Liavar, Candace and the others sighed in their hearts uncontrollably.
They quickly confirmed a fact:
Elder Darek didn't betray Silver City, and his cooperation with the Outlanders really wanted to lead everyone away from the cursed land.
"Elder Berg......" Candace muttered, "thank you." ”
Dyric nodded slightly, his back straight.
Instead of expressing his inner apologies like Candace, Liabal glanced left and right, and instead asked:
"Elder Berg, how do we get out of here?"
"Shipbuilding" is a word that only stays in their history books, and it is extremely jerky at this point.
"There don't seem to be any materials for shipbuilding here...... Candace and the others immediately looked at the small island, but found no trees or other plants.
Daerik shook his head again:
"No, wait a little longer......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a dark shadow appear at the junction of the sea and the sky.
The black shadow grew larger and larger, and quickly approached this side along the safe passage between the golden specks of light.
It didn't take long for the dark shadow to reveal its silhouette, a hybrid ship with smoke and sails, and a blue sea serpent flag flying from it.
"Boat?"
"This is a ship?"
......
Liavar, Candace and the others asked questions while they were on guard.
Derik was an experienced person who had received a common sense education at the Tarot meeting and had seen pictures of various ships, and he gently bowed his head when he heard this:
"Yes. ”
As they spoke, the ship drew closer, making the figure standing at the bow clear.
It was a man with scorched eyebrows, dark blue eyes, and a black cloak, who jumped on top of the dragon's head and opened his arms slightly to the people of Silver City.
Seeing this scene, Dareik, who had always maintained a serious posture, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was as expected, and there were no accidents.
Daniz wanted to jump off the ship and walk up to the followers of Mr. Fool and announce to them that they had been saved, but after glancing at the height of the people in Silver City, he silently stabilized his figure.
He stood at the head of the dragon, opened his arms completely, and smiled reservedly to Darek and the others:
"Welcome to the promised world of light!"
............
Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.
Crane sat in the high-backed chair that belonged to the "Fool", and watched the experience of the Silver City Pathfinder Team through the crimson star that symbolizes the "sun", always ready to deal with the accident.
It was only when the "history" that had been sealed in the dust for thousands of years converged with the current "era", boarded the ship from the new government of the Rorsted Islands, and left the most dangerous core sea area of the god war relics, that Crane breathed a sigh of relief, put down the "Star Staff" in his hand, and beckoned two items to take it.
They are the extraordinary traits of the "Miracle Master" that emerged from that "curtain" and the "Star Worm" from the "Sage of the Mysteries" Boutis.
After thinking about it, Crane reached out with his left hand and grabbed a large mass of dark black and reddish liquid from the historical pores.
This is the blood of the "Dark Demon Wolf" Kotal, a full 300 milliliters, which belongs to the main auxiliary material of the "Miracle Master" potion.
Of course, as an auxiliary material, it has only one use, that is, to reduce the negative effects of extraordinary characteristics and buffer the corresponding occult influence, so it doesn't matter whether it is a historical projection or not, anyway, as long as it can play its own role in the two links of mixing potions and taking potions, it is enough, and when the time of the historical pore image reaches the limit, Crane will either fail to be promoted and collapse into a monster, or he has become a "miracle master", and he has initially mastered the extraordinary characteristics, and he no longer needs assistance.
Immediately afterward, Klein took another thing out of the fog of history.
It is a "worm of time" with multiple links.
- Because of the strong psychological shadow of Amon, Crane chose the "Time Worm" once given by Parles Zoroaster for this summoning, so as not to have any accidents.
After preparing the materials, he took out an iron cauldron and threw the three hundred milliliters of blood of the dark demon wolf into it, and then put in the "Time Worm" just now and the "Star Worm" that shimmered brightly.
The dark black and reddish liquid in the iron pot then became dark, the surface was transparent and clean, and the deep whirlpools were surging.
Without hesitation, Klein picked up the extraordinary characteristics of the "miracle master".
Its shape is as transparent as a heart, crystal, but from time to time it emits small bubbles, each of which seems to hide a kind of illusion.
When this extraordinary property comes into contact with the liquid in the iron pot, it immediately blends in, causing the darkness to condense and become deep, so that there seem to be endless eyes inside opening at the same time.
After staring for a few seconds, Crane poured the concocted "Miracle Master" potion into a glass bottle, and through the bestowal ritual, he brought it to the real world.
Sunia Sea, on a certain uninhabited island, Klein, who was directly "teleported" over, looked at the potion in his hand and suddenly hesitated, because once he became an angel, he would inevitably be affected by extraordinary characteristics, becoming more and more ruthless, more and more cruel, more and more indifferent to life, and there must be enough anchors to maintain human nature.
This is not something that can be avoided by completely digesting the potion in the previous stage and mastering the "playing method", when the first part of Russell the Great went so smoothly, he almost changed when he reached the angel rank of Sequence 2, and he was close to losing control.
As for the angels that Klein knew, they were all normal on the surface, but he had no way of knowing what they actually looked like and what they were like when they were hiding behind the scenes.
If the stages of Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 can obtain a long life and live for thousands of years, then a Sage really does not have much motivation to be promoted to an angel.
Combined with the higher the sequence, the closer to the original words, Klein suddenly understood why the "White Witch" Caterina had only been promoted from Sequence 4 to Sequence 3 for more than a thousand years.
But I have no way back...... After a brief moment of silence, Crane sighed silently.
Amon and Zarathu, who are close at hand, the imminent end of the world, and the reality that he was unable to intervene in the war before and could only contribute his strength through donations and other means, are pushing him to the angelic rank.
His eyes flickered for a few seconds, and then quickly calmed down, and Crane picked up the potion and poured the liquid into his mouth.
PS: The author of "Into the Cultivation of Immortals" has opened a new book, "The Legend of Cyber Heroes", which is a hardcore martial arts story in the context of cyberpunk, a story about resisting tyrants and changing the world.
