Chapter 184: Afternoon Town
Is that...... Klein's eyes reflected something almost completely transparent.
It was like the shell of something, sometimes retracting a little, disappearing into Crane's vision, sometimes being blown out by an invisible wind, revealing a slight outline.
With it as an anchor point, and looking up, there is a dark green and almost black color standing quietly.
Like the color of the trees in the Black Forest...... Klein muttered, unable to imagine what the "color" and "thing" symbolized, and could only boldly guess that it might have something to do with further control of the mysterious space above the gray mist.
Without attempting to do anything useless, he jumped down the staircase that seemed to lead to heaven and returned to the palace where he had manifested.
Considering the existence of the "mysterious queen", Crane cleaned up a little, and left the gray fog and returned to the bathroom of his room.
After taking care of his tail, he walked to the suitcase, turned the "sun brooch" out, and wore it on a double-breasted gown.
After such a toss, the types of magical items that he can now use and carry have returned to the state of Beckland, but he has already been in Sequence 5, and he already has one of the most difficult abilities below the demigod level, and he is already an extraordinary world powerhouse in the true sense.
"Normally, I should be excited and happy, but I wasn't, and I wasn't even excited when I finally found the mermaid...... Because for me, it's just another step of revenge, and the real goal is still far away......
"Next, summarize the rules, digest the 'Master of Secret Puppets' potion, and find the recipe and materials corresponding to Sequence 4, well, these things will have to be done after leaving this sea, and consult Mr. Azik, Will Onsetin, and 'Magic Mirror' Arodes in turn......
"Hehe, relax your body and mind these days, if your spirit is too tight, it will break, which will lead to signs of loss of control......" Klein turned around and looked at the full-length mirror in the room, only to see that he was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with black hair and brown eyes, a thin face, and a well-defined silhouette, wearing a white shirt, a long dress, a bow tie, a top hat, and a dark gold sunbird brooch, with a calm expression and dark eyes.
After watching quietly for a while, he raised his hands, straightened the buttons on the cuffs on both sides, and patted the long black dress.
............
Lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the gray buildings in front of them.
Colin Iliad, the "Demon Hunter" with two swords on his back, pointed to the opposite one:
"That's Afternoon Town. ”
His unkempt gray hair swayed in the wild wind.
So fast...... Derrick, who was carrying the "Hurricane Axe", sighed in surprise.
He was immediately relieved, thinking that this was reasonable, because the Giant Court itself was in the area near Silver City, and Afternoon Town was one of the nodes connecting the two sides.
With the help of the lightning that illuminated the night, he could see clearly what the town looked like in the afternoon, it was built at the foot of the mountain, and was naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and it was said that it was a town, but in fact it was no smaller than most of the ruins found in Silver City.
Here, the gray stone has been built into different houses, some hollowed out in one piece, close to ten meters, and some are as short as Darerick's current residence, so short that a normal human can touch the roof.
The buildings are compactly arranged and spread out, some of them have collapsed, some of them are still strong, but they are all stained with signs of decay and decay.
It's completely different from what the textbook describes...... Darik recalls what he learned in history class.
According to the records of Silver City, the afternoon town is the gate separating reality and mythology, mixed with humans and giants, there is night, there is also day, but all the day is in the "afternoon" state, no matter the fog, rainstorm, or ice and snow attack, can not hide the more fierce sun, but at this time, it is gloomy, gray, even if it is illuminated by lightning, it lacks a sense of light, lifeless.
Holding the handle of the axe tightly, his eyes "containing" two miniature suns, Derick walked on the side of the exploration team, and followed the "chief" Colin step into Afternoon Town.
It had been cleaned up once during the initial exploration, and the streets were littered with rotting flesh and traces of dried pus, and there was silence all around, without a sound.
"Be careful, there are a lot of strange monsters hiding in the dark. Colin Iliad, with an old scar on his face, did not take it lightly, and drew one of the twin swords he was carrying with his backhand, the body of which was silver and restrained.
This is the gateway to mythology?did the Creator abandon this land even a myth?Darek couldn't help but imagine what happened to Afternoon Town during that upheaval, and intuitively thought that it might well be different from the Silver Country.
Before he could take a closer look around for possible clues, he suddenly heard a rapid shout from his teammate on the other side:
"There's something!"
Daerik looked sideways and saw a transparent face growing on the surface of the 10-meter-high boulder house.
The face was filled with countless cracks, which coiled in the center at regular intervals, forming a swirl-like one-eyed or mouth.
The hurricane in the whirlpool was like a substance, whistling and erupting, and the morning light inside was dense, like arrows of light one after another.
Puff puff!
They hit several members of the exploration team, but as if they had hit the thick walls, they could only make a dull, dense sound, and quickly disappeared into the gloomy environment.
At some point, Colin Iliad, the "chief" of Silver City, was half-crouched on his knees and plunged his silver straight sword into the rotten greystone ground.
He provided the most powerful protection for the players in the front row!
At the same time, the rest of the exploration team attacked in an orderly manner, with the Storm of Light and Crimson Fireballs hitting the monster one after the other.
Immediately afterward, the light summoned by Daerik also fell on the one-eyed vortex.
In the explosion, the boulder, which was already full of cracks, collapsed, and the transparent face evaporated with screams.
Although this battle was easy, Derrick was not happy at all, he had listened to Mr. "Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice" in the Tarot Society, and they had discussed the case of the battle of the Extraordinary, combined with the experience accumulated in the confrontation between Silver City and various monsters in the depths of the darkness, and was worried to find that Silver City had limited access to the way, below the demigods, and lacked effective means of control, which was just confirmed by the situation just now.
Fortunately, there is a seal formed after the death of the monster to make up for it...... Derick thought in silence, and then heard the "Chief" command:
"As scheduled at the time of departure, in groups of three to four, explore and clear the different areas. ”
"Yes, Chief!" Most of the members of the exploration team had a lot of experience, and they quickly completed the grouping.
There are three people in Derrick's group, in addition to him, there are also Joshua and Heim, who have been to the abandoned temple together, the former is the "weapon master" of Sequence 7 and has a magical glove that can manipulate fire, and the latter has recently become the "Dawn Knight" of Sequence 6, and his stature has jumped to two meters three.
- The average height of Silver City, which is mainly based on the "warrior", that is, the "giant" path, is 1.8 meters (including children over 6 years old), even if the extraordinary characteristics are not inherited, the normal genes that have been changed will accumulate from generation to generation, although Derrick is not very old, but it is also close to 1.8 meters, and there is still room to grow taller.
Following their assigned objectives, Darick, Joshua, and Heim enter an alley on the left in a triangular battle formation, exploring every house that can still be entered.
Maybe it's because they've cleaned up before, they haven't encountered any monsters, and their hearts are unconsciously relaxed.
"I've heard that the 'Council of Six' wants to set up a camp here and turn the afternoon town into our stronghold. Joshua, wearing a red glove on his left palm, said after examining the hall of a house.
Hyim nodded, looked down at the two companions, and said:
"The real goal seems to be ......"
He pointed diagonally downward.
"The Giant Court?" asked Derrick, surprised.
Isn't it looking for little Jack and the seashore where they came? Isn't it necessary to bypass the court of the giants?"
Hayynm shook his head:
"I just heard. ”
He swept his gaze and pointed to the basement entrance:
"Let's explore this place first. ”
Derick let out an "um", relying on his night vision and "light" ability, not afraid of the dark, and preemptively entered the basement, Heim carried the lantern covered with animal skin, and followed closely behind Joshua.
The basement of this house is quite spacious, and there are pools of blackened dry marks inside, and the smell of blood is still a little remnant after many years.
Darek looked around and felt as if there had been a sacrificial ritual here.
Once upon a time...... He silently added, and found the altar-like stone table and a piece of candle left behind, and confirmed his guess more and more.
How could the inhabitants of the town secretly hide in the basement in the afternoon to perform the sacrificial ceremony, when the Giant Court ruled, they were all followers of the Giant King, and later belonged to the Creator of all...... The owner of the house was secretly worshipping other gods, and as Daric approached the altar, he saw that the stone table, which had been carved with words, had been almost completely destroyed by natural and unnatural factors.
After careful identification, Derick read three names:
"Ulorius;
"Medici;
"Saslier. ”
Isn't that the name of the "Angel of Destiny"? "Mister Fool" mentioned that Medici was also a king of angels, and Sasriel was another? Suddenly excited and frightened, Derrick hurriedly turned back to beckon his companions to watch.
But as far as he could see, the entrance to the basement was empty and dark, and Heim and Joshua, who were supposed to be following behind, were gone!
PS: Finally got home, adjusted it, first changed it and then changed it.
