Chapter 137: The Silver City (Part 2)
Silver City, Morgue Hall.
Derrick stood at the front of the steps, his eyes red, looking ahead, at his parents, who were lying in two coffins.
In front of him was a simple silver straight sword, which shook slightly in the thunder that shook the houses from time to time.
The Bergs in the coffins were not really dead, they tried to keep their eyes open, sometimes faintly and sometimes violently gasping for air, but in the eyes of some they could have been irrepressibly dimmed and irreversibly dimmed.
"Derrick, do it!" said an old man in a black robe with a stiff cane as he looked at the young man with a distorted face.
"No, no, no!" the brown-haired Deric shook his head continuously, taking a step back with each word, and at the end, let out a scream like tearing his heart and cracking his lungs.
Boom!
The old man pestle his cane and said:
"Do you want the whole city to die for your parents?"
"You should know very well that we are a people of darkness abandoned by God, and we can only live in this place full of curses, and all the dead will become terrifying evil spirits, no matter what method is used, it is difficult to reverse, except that except for those who have the same bloodline to end their lives with their own hands!"
"Why?" Derrick asked, shaking his head in dazed and desperate despair, "Why are our people of Silver City destined to kill their fathers and mothers at birth......
The old man closed his eyes, as if remembering what he had experienced in the past: "...... This is our destiny, this is the curse we carry, this is the will of God......"
"Draw your sword, Derrick, this is a sign of respect for your parents. ”
"After that, when you're calmed down, you'll be ready to try to become a god-blood warrior. ”
Berg in the coffin tried to speak, but after a few heaval of his chest, he could only make a hoho sound.
Darek struggled to return to the side of the silver straight sword, and trembled and stretched out his right hand.
The cold touch reached his brain, reminding him of the blood ice his father had brought back from a hunting trip, and a palm-sized piece alone could keep the room cool for days.
His eyes flashed past his stern father who taught swordsmanship, his kind father who patted the dust on his back, his gentle mother who sewed clothes, his brave mother who stood in front of him when facing mutant monsters, and the picture of the family gathering around and sharing food by flickering candles......
Woo...... He let out an extremely suppressed, extremely low sound in his throat, and his right hand slammed into force, drawing a straight sword.
Pedal Pedal Ped
With his head down, he rushed forward, raised his straight sword, and stabbed it hard.
There was a scream of pain, and blood splattered out, splashing onto Derick's face, and into his eyes.
His vision was bright red, and he drew his straight sword and plunged into the coffin next to him.
Sharp metal pierced through the flesh, and Darek let go of his hand and staggered to his feet.
He didn't look inside the two coffins, he stumbled out of the morgue hall as if he was being chased by an evil spirit, his hands clenched tightly, his teeth clenched fiercely, and the blood red on his face was faintly washed out.
"Hey......" the old man who was watching all this sighed.
The streets of the Silver City are lined with stone pillars with lanterns and unburned candles.
There is no sun, no moon, no stars in the sky, only constant darkness and lightning that tears everything apart.
By the light of lightning, the people of the Silver City travel to and from the dark roads, and the hours when the lightning dies down each day are considered by them to be the true night of the legend, when candles are needed to illuminate the city, dispel the darkness, and warn the monsters.
Darik walked down the street with his eyes straight away, not even thinking about where he was going, but as he walked, he found himself back at his doorstep.
Pulling out the key, unlocking the padlock, and pushing the door, he saw everything familiar, but he didn't hear his mother's concerned voice, nor did he encounter his father's scolding for running around, and the room was empty and deserted.
Dick gritted his teeth again and hurried back to his room, digging through the crystal ball that his father said was used to worship the gods of a long-destroyed city-state.
He knelt down, faced the crystal ball, and prayed without hope, and prayed in pain:
"Great gods, reopen your eyes to this place that you have forsaken. ”
"Great gods, free us, the people of darkness, from the curse of fate. ”
"I am willing to dedicate my life to you and please you with my blood. ”
......
Over and over again, just as he was in complete despair and wanted to stand up, he saw a deep red glow erupt from the pure crystal ball.
The light was like flowing water, and it instantly drowned Darek.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a majestic palace supported by huge stone pillars, in front of an ancient, mottled bronze table, opposite which sat a figure shrouded in a thick gray mist.
In addition, the surroundings were ethereal, ethereal, and empty, and the bottom was filled with an invisible gray and white mist and unreal spots of crimson light.
A flame of hope was lit in the heart of Derrick, and he looked blankly and suspiciously at the figure standing in the seat in front of him and said:
"You, you're a god?"
After asking, he remembered a sentence in the general education book of Silver City, and quickly lowered his head.
That sentence is:
"Don't look directly at God!"
Crane leaned back, clasped his hands crossed, and replied in a leisurely and relaxed manner in the language of giants:
"I'm not a god, I'm just a fool interested in a long history. ”
He had already tapped his left tooth twice, and found that the aetheric body of the young man in front of him was deep in the surface of the star spirit body, mottled in color, and there was no unity.
This shows that the other party is not yet extraordinary.
Fool ...... Derick chewed on the word, and was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty:
"Whether you are a god or a fool, my prayer does not change, I hope that all the people of the Silver City will be free from the curse of fate, that the sky will appear, that the sun described in those books will appear, and if, if I can, I will also hope that my parents will be resurrected. ”
Hey, I'm not a wishing machine...... Klein let go of his hands and smiled:
"Why should I help you?"
Derick was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before he said:
"I will dedicate my soul, and I will please you with my blood. ”
"I have no interest in mortal blood and souls. Klein smiled and shook his head, watching the young man's emotions in front of him gradually turn into a color of despair.
Without waiting for the other party to speak again, he said leisurely:
"But I can give you a chance. ”
"I'm a fool who likes to exchange for equal value, you can get what you want from me with everything you can get, from others who are similar to you, attention, it must be worth a considerable ......"
"This can make you strong, maybe one day, you can rely on yourself, let the Silver City get rid of the curse, and let the sky reappear Tai******* according to the description of the other party just now, he has a certain degree of certainty that the Silver City is in the so-called God's Forsaken Land.
Of course, he can't be 100% sure for the time being, after all, according to the records of religious texts, the state of the sky without the sun still exists in the First Age, the Chaos Era, after all, no one knows if there are strange places that the countries of the Northern Continent don't know in addition to the land forsaken by the gods.
Darek listened quietly, bowed his head in silence, and after a while replied:
"I want to be 'Sun' and want to get the potion recipe for its initial sequence from you. ”
Sequence, Potion, "Sun" ...... The sequential path mastered by the Church of the Eternal Sun...... It does seem to be in the same world......
The word sequence was born after the first profane tablet was born, at the end of the Dark Age of the Second Age...... In other words, if Silver City is indeed in the "Godforsaken Land", it means that this region was not separated from the northern and southern continents until at least the end of the Second Age......
Could this be related to the cataclysm of the Tertiary Age? Legend has it that the goddess of the night, the mother earth, and the god of war were born, and together with the Lord of the Storm, the eternal sun, and the god of knowledge and wisdom, they blessed mankind through the cataclysm...... Klein got a lot of information from the other party's words.
But he listened hard, and the organizational language was even harder, because the giant language was not yet so proficient.
Luckily, Gufersak is a direct derivative of the Giants, and Klein is barely an expert in this area, so he has made rapid progress in mastering the Giants, and now he is not timid.
Crane kept his posture unchanged and replied in a flat tone:
"This deal can be placed next, for the next two days, and you'd better not go out and try not to stay in the same room as anyone else. ”
He didn't know what the time unit of Silver City was, and he didn't know how to convert it to the time of the Rune Kingdom in the Northern Continent, so he had to express it in general terms as tomorrow, and wait until the Tarot party gathered, and then tell the other party, and then tell the other party, at this point in time in the future, this is the ......
As for the unit "Heaven", because it is in the Giant Language, Klein thinks that even if Silver City does not use it to count, the other party should understand what it means.
“...... Okay, obey your commands. Derick replied with a bowed head, without objection.
Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tapped his finger on the edge of the table and said:
"Before sending you back, let's complete the equivalent exchange just now, I gave you a powerful opportunity, and you have to pay the corresponding price. ”
"I said I was a fool who loved a long history, and I asked for the history of the Silver City, the ones you know. ”
Dyric thought for a moment, and replied in a low voice:
"I'll be honest with my description. ”
"The City of Silver has existed since the Creator of all, the All-Knowing and Almighty God, abandoned this land, and no, it existed before that, but it was still called the Land of Silver. ”
