Chapter 185: Prayer
It's gone?
Darkness?
In the face of the sudden change, Derick's first reaction was not to be frightened, but to clasp his hands in front of his mouth.
Streams of light burst out of him, dispelling the deep darkness around him and illuminating every corner of the basement.
In the environment in which Darek lives, the night is the most terrifying existence, and once they leave Silver City, they must keep the light shining at all times, even if they are lost for a short time, the interval cannot exceed five seconds.
When Darik first joined the exploration team, when he was inexperienced, he almost made a mistake and buried himself, but fortunately there was the "chief" standing not far away.
The light rippled slowly but continuously, and Darek raised his right hand gripping the Hurricane Axe and looked around cautiously.
He found that except for Heim and Joshua, two teammates who should have followed him into the basement, they had disappeared, and the blackened marks on the stone slabs and walls had somehow turned blood red, drenched as if they had just been splashed.
This made Dareik, who was familiar with the exploration materials and calmed down, can't help but think of a possibility, that is, it is not Joshua and Haym who have the problem, but himself!
"I just approached the altar and silently uttered the three names...... Normally, even angels must have their exact names in full format in order to receive the "prayers" that are recited or copied by others, and are said to be limited in scope...... I wonder if the kings of angels have to do the same......
"Well, one of these three names is the key to unlocking the hidden power of the altar, and I chanted it in the language of a giant that can pry nature, causing the problem to be raised?No, that's not right, it has to be pronounced to be effective, even if it's the real name of the angel kings, and it hasn't been a problem before......" Derrick turned around in confusion and some trepidation, and returned to the altar, back to the stone table.
He was stunned to see that the words and symbols on the stone table were much clearer and more complete than before, as if the celebrant had just finished painting.
There are three kinds of scripts, one is the language of giants, one is the language of dragons, and one is the language that Daerik does not recognize, but he suspects that it is the ancient Hermes spoken by Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice", because during this time the Tarot Society has a preliminary grasp of some words, which is quite close to the kind of writing on the stone table.
The Giants and Dragons are very identical, and they both repeat the three names and their corresponding titles:
"Angel of Destiny", Ulorius;
"Red Angel", Medici;
"Dark Angel", Sasliel.
The title and name are followed by a phrase that Derick is familiar with:
"Redemption Rose"!
Is Sasriel really a king of angels, called the "Dark Angel", and he, along with the "Angel of Destiny" and the "Red Angel", is the founder of the "Rose of Redemption"? I wonder what Mr. "Fool" knows about him...... He must have understood ...... The ancient Hermetic language should mean the same thing...... In the afternoon of the town, which has been converted to the "Creator of all", there are residents who secretly worship the three angelic kings around the Lord...... Thinking of this, Derrick suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and felt as if he had touched the edge of the truth that the Creator had abandoned this land in the first place.
He looked up again, and saw that the walls and floors were still red with blood, and Heim and Joshua were still nowhere to be seen.
Meditation again doesn't work, and perhaps it doesn't work in itself...... Derik took a breath and cautiously walked towards the basement entrance with the Hurricane Axe in hand, hoping to get to the root of the problem and determine what was wrong.
One step, two steps, three steps, like a giant candle, he moved back into the hall above.
The shadows were thick and gray, and the rotten chairs and the remnants of the stone tables lay silently as before.
Unable to find Joshua and Haym, Derrick walked to the window in high tension to see if he could meet any of the other members of the exploration team.
Smack, smack...... With the sound of slight footsteps, he approached the large hole that should have been in the window frame, leaned forward, and looked out.
Countless gray and dark buildings are compactly spread out, high or low, and stepped upwards.
The frequency of lightning in the air is very low, and there are little candles reflected in many windows, which are dim and shaking, and they will not be extinguished for a long time.
This...... Daerik couldn't help but swallow his saliva, feeling that the town had never undergone a great change in the afternoon, and the inhabitants were still living peacefully.
............
Haynem, carrying a lantern of animal skins, passed through the entrance to the basement without bending, and said to Joshua next to him with a smile:
"This house must belong to humans, but their family must have the blood of 'giants', and they should be about the same height as me, tsk, the ruin city we went to last time, we had to bow our heads even when we entered the gate!"
The "giant" bloodline does not mean that there must be a giant's bloodline, but represents the physical characteristics that were produced and passed on to the offspring as a result of taking potions of this pathway, and tallness is one of the main manifestations.
Joshua glanced up at Haym and snorted:
"That's you, I don't need it. ”
"But it won't be long before you get promoted, and when the time comes, you won't be much shorter than me. Haym said with a smile, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Darek as he approached the altar to prevent an accident.
Joshua thought for a moment and said:
"Actually, I'm very strange, the chief is the 'Demon Hunter' of Sequence 4, who should be three or four meters tall like an ordinary giant, why does it look normal, and he is half a head taller than me?"
Heynm subconsciously looked around and said:
"The Chief is said to have the form of a giant. ”
"Giant form, will his clothes be torn apart when he becomes a giant?" asked Joshua with a smile.
"Unless his clothes and pants are magical items. Heim and Joshua looked at each other and smiled.
They were about to share the joke with Darek, but when they looked around, they saw that the boy was gone!
Darik, who was supposed to be in front of the altar, is gone!
Haym and Joshua's expressions suddenly became solemn, one raised a broad, large straight sword, and the other stretched out his left palm, which was wearing a red glove.
They cautiously approached the altar and examined it carefully, finding no suspicious traces.
Joshua was about to try to make out the remaining words on the stone table, but Heim tapped him on the shoulder and said:
"Don't look, I think about it, Darik was looking at the text before he disappeared.
"Let's go find the 'chief'. ”
"Hmm. Joshua nodded.
He left in no hurry, and after looking around again, he rubbed his thumb and middle finger together and lit the remaining candle on the altar.
This will protect Darek from falling into real darkness!
- The exploration team of Silver City had a similar encounter in the ruins of those city-states, one of the team members seemed to have disappeared suddenly, but in fact they were only hidden by some kind of force, and they were still in place, but his teammates near him were eager to ask for help, and hurriedly left the area with lanterns, so the poor guy was engulfed in real darkness and could never be found again, if it weren't for the fact that another team member fell into the same situation and was lucky to be rescued on the spot, others would not even know the exact "cause of death" of the former.
The candles were lit and the dim light of the fire was sprinkled around, and Heim and Joshua left and went into the alley, releasing the spiritual signals that everyone carried.
They didn't have to wait long before Colin Iliad jumped from the top of another house and landed safely.
"What's going on?" the "Demon Hunter" asked in a deep voice.
The silver sword in his hand had been smeared with a light gray ointment.
Haym immediately briefly stated what had just happened, and finally said:
"We couldn't find out why Darek disappeared. ”
"Darik ......" Colin nodded thoughtfully, walked past the two of them, and walked into the corresponding house first.
............
Outside, the candles were lit, dim and warm, but Darek seemed to have fallen into a so-called ice cave, and the chill in his heart couldn't stop coming out.
He clenched the right hand of the Hurricane Axe, withdrew his gaze from the town, turned and walked into the basement, and stood in front of the altar again.
He was almost sure that he was the one who had the problem!
But he didn't have the urge to explore this strange afternoon town, and he didn't even dare to open the door.
Daerik wasn't too nervous, and he wasn't visibly flustered, because he didn't think he was suffering from a serious problem.
As long as it is not a direct outbreak risk, it is not serious...... Daerik took a silent breath, buried his head slightly, and whispered reverently:
"Fools who do not belong to this age;
"The mysterious lord above the gray mist;
"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck ......"
Crane, who was enjoying the scenery of the relics of the War of God by the window, had no choice but to enter the bathroom again, set up the distractions, and walked four steps backwards to the gray mist.
He sat down in a high-backed chair at the top of the bronze table, stretched out his right hand, and spread spirituality, touching the crimson star that symbolized the little "sun".
Suddenly, the sound of prayer became extremely clear, and the corresponding picture appeared in front of Klein's eyes.
He first saw the small "sun", which was still a little vague, and then realized that the environment he was in was a little wrong!
Around the "sun" was an indescribable darkness, and in the darkness there were eyes of different shapes silently watching him.
These eyes are dense, faint, dark and introverted, like uninvited onlookers, and the little "sun" is unaware.
Is the town so dangerous in the afternoon?Klein is very knowledgeable about what the Suns have been going to do lately.
He thought about it for a while, and intuitively thought that the darkness was very strange and not real enough, so he gave up the option of using the "Poseidon Scepter" to respond to the little "sun", and instead pulled the other party into the gray mist.
Crane's spirituality was displayed, but he felt that the crimson star seemed to be stuck in a swamp, making it quite difficult for him to pull people.
Which Angel King is this messing with again?Klein's thought turned, causing the gray mist below and the mysterious space to ripple and pass through.
After being promoted to Sequence 5, without relying on the "Black Emperor" card or with the help of the corresponding ritual, he can slightly pry the power above the gray mist!
Silently, Klein easily completed the pull, and the figure of "Sun" Derrick immediately appeared in the high-backed chair that belonged to him.
At the same time, Crane vaguely saw the strange darkness flowing around the body of the little "sun" shatter.
............
The Demon Hunter entered the basement on high alert, followed by Heim and Joshua.
They saw the figure of Derick Berg in front of the dim candlelight, sketched out like a picture.
