Bang!

Darik's axe, entwined with silver rays, struck the river on the mural, denting the walls and sending stone chips flying.

With a single blow, the river that was connected from end to end was completely disconnected.

Just as he was expecting the cycle to be broken and all the members of the exploration team jumping out of the temple, the figure of "Demon Hunter" Colin flashed and came to him, and said with a calm face:

"What are you doing?"

The tip of the demigod's sword still hung downward, but the hand gripping the handle was noticeably harder than before.

Reflecting on the wisdom of the members of the Tarot congregation, Derrick said, half "confused" and half "afraid":

"A dark shadow flashed from here just now, Your Excellency, really! like a child's figure!"

Without looking away, Colin Iliad asked the other team member:

"Heynm, did you see that?"

The member of the exploration team named Heynm subconsciously moved closer to the direction of the chief, shook his head firmly, and said:

"No, I didn't see anything. ”

Colin's light blue eyes suddenly had a glimmer of light, highlighting two dark green complex symbols.

He just stared at Daerik for four or five seconds.

Finally, he withdrew his gaze and said without abnormality:

"This is your first exploration mission, and it's normal to hallucinate due to nervousness.

"Next, you follow me, and I think you'll be calmer that way. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Without hesitation, Derrick agreed.

After trying just now, he preliminarily confirmed that the mural was not connected to the key point.

The "Rose of Redemption" suggested by Mr. "Fool" should have a deeper meaning, not so simple...... Holding the "Hurricane Axe", Daerik walked silently beside Chief Colin.

The rest of the story wasn't much different from the few explorations he remembered, and the group repeated the past, arriving at the altar-lined final hall for the sixth time, and finding the yellow-haired boy Jack huddled in the shadows.

Hear "Help me...... Save me......", after seeing the obvious figure of the child, "Demon Hunter" Colin nodded invisibly, and withdrew most of his attention from Derick Berg.

Just as he was considering his words and was about to speak, Darek suddenly asked:

"How can I save you?"

The little boy Jack showed an excited expression:

"Save me, save me, send me home!

"Where is your home?" asked Derick, curious and scared.

Seeing this, Colin closed his mouth and tightened his palms.

The little boy Jack raised his hand weakly and said:

"My home, my home is in the port of Enmat!"

Port of Enmat...... Although Mr. "Hanged Man" didn't mention it, judging from the word port, Jack really doesn't belong to us, he is very likely to be from the outside world, from Miss "Justice" and their kingdom of Rune!

His reaction did not arouse the suspicion of Colin the "Demon Hunter", as the head of the powerful "Council of Six" had also never seen the sea, and could only know from some of the surviving texts that this body of water was many times larger than a lake, and the term "port".

The "Port of Enmat" spit out of the strange boy's mouth seemed to unfold a picture of a new world in front of Colin, which made him, who was struggling to find the future of Silver City, forget anything else in an instant, and blurted out:

"How did you, or you, get here?"

The little boy Jack showed a reminiscing expression:

"My father and I took a boat first, then joined his companions, and continued on the boat, and after a very large storm, the rest of the men came ashore and followed the direction of the Lord's gaze, until we came here. ”

"Demon Hunter" Colin and Derrick looked at the idol on the altar at the same time, discerning where he was looking.

Soon, Colin settled on the approximate information.

They came here in the direction that the idol's gaze was, that is, by reversing the process, we would find the seashore and find the place where they landed...... The opposite direction of this gaze is...... The map of Silver City's surroundings, which he gradually perfected through exploration, surfaced in the mind of Colin the "Demon Hunter", allowing him to initially map out the route of the strange boy's "journey".

If there were no other temples in the middle, no corresponding statues, and it would continue like this, it would be, it would pass through the ruins of the "Giant Court"!

It was the palace of the gods that once inhabited the ancient god "Giant King" Ormir, and it was not far from the Silver City!

The descendants of the Silver Nation, long ruled by the Giants, know exactly where its ruins are, but they have never been able to complete their exploration, because it is extremely dangerous, more dangerous than pure darkness without light!

According to Colin's retrospective, the strange boy and his party arrived here through the ruins of the "Giant Court".

"How did they do it? Maybe they didn't take a pure straight line and bypassed the 'Giant Court'...... In any case, there is a road to the sea on the back side of the 'Giant's Court', and it is likely that there is a human kingdom on the other side of the sea...... Could that be the hope of Silver City?" thought to Colin, uncontrollably.

At this time, Derick was keenly aware that the clothes between the little boy Jack's chest and abdomen were stained dark red, and there seemed to be liquid slowly oozing out.

"Are you hurt?" he asked cautiously.

Jack hung his head and replied in a vague tone:

"Something unsightly......"

As he spoke, he pulled back his clothes, revealing his bare chest and abdomen.

There, inlaid with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth!

It wasn't painted, it wasn't a patchwork of gemstones, it was made up of real eyes, real noses, and real mouths, and it didn't look like a group of three people.

In the middle of this, Darek imagined a picture of the little boy Jack, after eating his companions, using the remnants of their eyes, nose and mouth to form a strange human face between his chest and abdomen.

The man's face was gentle and indifferent, making Derrick feel inexplicably familiar.

It only took a second or two for Derrick to figure out the familiar reason:

This face resembles the angel in the mural above, the silver-haired angel with his feet on the circulating river!

Sure enough, the reason we kept repeating and exploring came from Him! Darik's heart moved, and he blurted out a word, as if to give a spell to solve the problem.

"Redeem the Rose!" he shouted solemnly.

The little boy Jack raised his head and looked at him in a daze, his mouth opened a little bit, and he grinned to the base of his ear:

"I'm so hungry......

"I'm hungry......"

...... Daerik froze for a moment, and saw the fierce battle.

When he came to his senses again, he sat back down by the campfire.

"Roses of Redemption" is not a spell...... He examined it profoundly.

The seventh expedition soon began, and Darik, who had already attempted, no longer behaved in any other way, but took the initiative to check the "Rose of Redemption" mural.

Along the way, the exploration team entered the underground hall with the altar and the statue of the god, and found the obviously strange little boy Jack.

After a similar conversation, Derrick saw the face that had been pieced together from someone else's facial features.

With experience, he didn't do anything irritating, lowered his voice, and said to "Demon Hunter" Colin:

"Your Excellency, the face on his chest is very similar to the angel in the mural above, that is, the angel with silver hair, the river at his feet, and the one with 'Redemption Rose' written in the corner. ”

"Demon Hunter" Colin was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

He watched, comforting the little boy Jack, as he looked at Derick out of the corner of his eye.

After a few seconds of silence, he whispered:

"Because you mentioned this incident, it made me think a little bit. ”

Without waiting for Derrick to ask, he looked down on himself:

"We studied the fresco for a long time, but we simply thought that it depicted an angel leading the way and a group of ascetics on pilgrimage, and their group might be called 'Roses of Redemption'.

"The end-to-end rivers represent a cycle, and our interpretation is that pilgrimages happen repeatedly.

And now it seems that it may have identified the identity of the angel.

"This is the idea you made me think because Amon was once hidden in your body. ”

"Why?" said Dareek, dazed.

"Demon Hunter" Colin looked at the little boy Jack and said:

"The little worm left behind by Amon has the symbol of time, and the circulating rivers are often related to fate, and the two are put together, which reminds me of the few things mentioned in the classics, which I don't know if they are true or false.

"When 'the Creator of all, the all-knowing and all-powerful God,' looked at the world, He was surrounded by many angels, among whom there were eight of the leaders of all the angels, the king of the angels closest to the throne of God, whose names have either disappeared into long history, or some of which have certain records, either brief or detailed.

"It is rumored that among these eight kings of angels there are even children of gods.

"Among them, there are two angel kings with the titles of 'Angel of Time' and 'Angel of Destiny'. ”

Darek asked in a moment of confirmation:

"Do you think Amon is the 'Angel of Time' and the 'Angel of Destiny' on that mural?"

"I can't be sure for the time being, only one title of 'Angel of Time' has been handed down, and the record of 'Angel of Destiny' is relatively detailed......" "Demon Hunter" Colin suddenly took a breath.

Immediately afterward, he said in a deep voice:

"Angel of Fate, Ulorius the 'Tail Eater'. ”

............

In the evening, inside the underground building of the Odra family.

Emlyn White looked at the iron-black coffin and said to the ancient Bloods lying inside:

"Lord Nibais, I accept the mission of the Ancestors!"

Nibes replied in an old voice:

"Good.

"When do you want to start, and what wishes do you have that you haven't fulfilled?"

"......" heard Lord Nibes ask about his wishes, and Emlyn White almost regretted it with a limp.

He stiffened his neck and said:

"No, you don't!

"You can get started now. ”
