Chapter 36 Opportunities and Risks Coexist
"Fool" Klein said lightly, not denying the guess of the "upside-down hanged man", nor was he sure that it was the "Queen of Natural Disasters" Goshinum, after all, it was impossible for him to find a gold coin in front of the other party and do a divination on the spot.
"The Hanged Man" Alger waited for a few seconds, and seeing that Mr. "Fool" did not respond clearly, he hurriedly described the content of the previous prayer in more detail, starting from the woman suspected of being the "Queen of the Scourge" Gosinam saying that he had some elven blood, and then talked about the promise to become a demigod, the possible reappearance of the Western Continent, and the key to fulfilling the agreement.
After saying the original thing, Alger closed his mouth, lowered his head, did not dare to ask Mr. "Fool" directly, and honestly waited for the great being to speak for himself.
Some elven blood...... Send something from the Book of Scourge to the Western Continent...... It is possible that the vanished Western Continent will reappear...... Klein, the "Fool" ...... the Western Continent, listened quietly, closed his eyes, and said in a gentle voice:
"It's dangerous, but it's your chance again. ”
He has preliminarily mastered the "Source Fort", and the power he can mobilize has reached the level of Sequence 2 Angel, and the "Queen of the Calamity" Gosinam is only at this level, and Crane has a greater certainty of resisting the various accidents brought by this elven queen.
Because of this, he dared to say that this was an opportunity for the "hanging man".
Of course, the premise of seizing the opportunity is that the "Hanging Man" is not reckless, not aggressive, and always remembers to ask for protection, so Klein deliberately emphasized the phrase "very dangerous" and asked the "Hanging Man" to remember to pray to Mr. "Fool" before launching the corresponding action.
- There is a double meaning in such a short sentence, but Klein is sure that Mr. "The Hanged Man" will understand.
Alger was overjoyed, and learned the "sun", and responded quite sincerely:
"Only Mr. Fool!"
Hearing this, Crane felt uncomfortable for a while, and remembered the pain of being overwhelmed by endless lightning, so he smiled and did not speak.
"The Hanged Man" Alger pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', what is the spell or password to enter the Western Continent?"
I also want to know ...... "Fool" Klein sighed secretly and said:
"It's not time for you to know. ”
"Yes, Mr. Fool. Alger didn't ask any more questions, and saluted respectfully.
When he returned to the real world, he immediately stepped out of the tent, took the sailors with him, and spent a certain amount of time arriving at the elven ruins in the morning light.
The scene here was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dream, withered yellow vines covering the decaying wooden buildings, inscriptions in some places exposed, and the air was rather solidified, as if no one had set foot on it for a long time.
After looking around seriously, a question suddenly occurred to Alger.
That is, after he really relied on the "Queen of Natural Disasters" to become a demigod and half-human existence, how should he face the church?
Rebel directly, be the fifth above the five seas, no, the sixth king?But in this way, I will not have the opportunity to contact the Book of Natural Calamity, unless I design some events, so that the church has to use this seal that I don't know if it is listed as "0" level, it is not only very difficult, but I must become a "sea king", or even a "natural disaster", to be successful...... Well, you can ask the "world" for help...... If you want to stay in the church, you have to give them a good enough reason that they can't refuse...... Alger's brows furrowed slightly, not hiding his solemnity.
In the eyes of the sailors who followed him, this was a sign of a lack of confidence in the ruins.
As his thoughts churned, Alger gradually came up with some ideas:
"Many of the Church's texts record a number of powerful people who became demigods due to their adventures...... Two-thirds of them were corrupted by evil gods and demons, and eventually lost their lives in purification...... But a third passed the test and became senior deacons or cardinals......
"Now that the war is in full swing and the situation in Rune is tense, as long as nothing is found, the church should not mind having one more Sequence 4 demigod as cannon fodder...... After that, step by step, trust is regained......
"All of this is premised on the fact that the Scourge Queen did not try to tainish me or leave a mark on me......
"Considering that the church has various seals, it is necessary to pray for the protection of Mr. 'Fool' in advance...... According to Miss 'Justice', 'Angel's Embrace' can effectively blind the mind and dreams......"
At a time when the members of the Tarot Society have been promoted to demigods or are about to be promoted to demigods, Alger really doesn't want to be the bottom of the existence, just like in the past in the church, he has done so many things in order to be superior, and he is naturally willing to take a certain risk for this.
With a decision, Alger immediately led the sailors into the ruins, and began to explore step by step according to the route of the dream.
This time, he did not divide his subordinates into small teams, on the one hand, he was worried about accidents, and on the other hand, he wanted them all to be his "witnesses".
After a quarter of an hour, Alger and his crew came to the giant tree with the dirt turning marks.
Before he could take a look around, he suddenly saw a gorgeous palace of coral.
Above the palace is a deep blue sea that ripples out in layers, and its own huge pillars stand tall and exaggerated, supporting an exaggerated dome, which is both tall and magnificent, but also gloomy and gloomy.
Alger glanced left and right and saw that all the sailors beside him were gone, and immediately realized that he might have been pulled into some kind of mirage.
He took a silent breath and walked slowly into the coral palace.
There was one elf after another, roasting fish, or putting spices in the blood of congealed animals, or bringing food to their mouths with two twigs, and none of them cared that strangers came in.
Alger then set his gaze on the nine steps that were hundreds of meters away.
On the top of the stairs was a coral chair encrusted with sapphires, emeralds, and glossy pearls, where the Elven Queen, the "Queen of the Scourge," sat and looked down on Alger.
"Good. Goshinum bowed his head lightly and threw out the delicate golden wine glass he was playing with.
The soft but strong wind cheered and held the glass, and they were like tiny elves, lined up in a line, carrying the corresponding items, and quickly approached Alger.
Alger reached out and took it, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a puddle of azure liquid in the golden wine glass, false, dreamy, and not real enough.
"Drink it and go to the sea near Simim Island in the Rorsted Islands and find this coral palace with everything you could imagine. ”
"If you don't drink this 'wine', you can't see that palace?" Alger asked thoughtfully.
Despite facing an angel, he was able to communicate calmly, as he had grown accustomed to seeing a great being every week.
"Queen of the Scourge," Gosinam nodded:
"Yes. ”
"Will this leave a mark on me?" Alger asked cautiously.
"Yes. Gosinam said in a slightly indifferent voice, "So, until you enter the Coral Palace and get the corresponding things, you can't go back to Passu Island, and you can't see Leodro's angels." ”
What can you see if you want to see the Pope's crown...... Alger breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked instead:
"When you get that thing, the effect of this glass of 'wine' will disappear?"
The Elven Queen Gosinam's expression did not change in her expression and replied:
"No, you need to eat that trait directly.
"When the time comes, this cup of 'wine' will be transformed into a seal, so that that the property will not erode your body for the time being, and then how you prepare the ritual and explain it to the Storm Church is your own business. ”
Let the identity belong to me first, and then the ceremony? In this way, maybe there is a better way for the church to accept it...... Alger thought for a moment, then raised his hand to bring the glass to his lips.
The cold liquid slid down his throat and vanished in an instant, shattering the entire coral palace, and the morning light and the remnants of the green giant trees reappeared before Alger's eyes.
Didn't make a contract, didn't make me make a vow?well, drinking that glass of "wine" is equivalent to making an agreement...... Alger withdrew his gaze and said to the unaware sailors around him:
"It's nothing here, take a closer look. ”
............
Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.
Klein also took his gaze back from the crimson star representing the "Hanged Man", and nodded thoughtfully:
"That's the grave of Shattas and Mobet...... That golden wine glass still has this usage......
"It is indeed the Elven Queen Gosinam...... What is his current state? half in the Book of Scourge and half in the Scourge somewhere, influencing reality with the help of the golden goblet or its own properties?
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' is unpolluted for the time being, and will take a look at it when he goes to the Rorsted Islands. ”
Because of the limited time that the body could support in the pores of history, Klein did not stay any longer, returned to a dark wilderness, and continued to carry the lantern that emitted a dim yellow light, and walked towards a certain place step by step.
As he walked, Klein turned his head to look at the east, the symbol of Chernobyl, and his steps involuntarily slowed down a little.
"When we have enough information from the hiding place where the dark demon wolf used to hide, we will go east, and continue until we reach the border, confirm the situation, and then consider the extraordinary characteristics of the 'miracle master...... Amon probably didn't think I'd pull away all of a sudden...... He must know a lot about the dark wolf's past, and it's unlikely that he's doing the same investigation as I did...... Well, but he'll definitely track me ......" Crane exhaled slowly, picking up his pace again.
A bolt of lightning swept through the sky, illuminating the dead wasteland with dark black and red weeds, and the rain began to fall drop by drop.
Klein dragged a black umbrella out of the hole in history, holding an umbrella in one hand and a lamp in the other, walking alone.
............
Nearly a week later, the Future docked somewhere along Rune's long coastline.
"Admiral of the Stars" Gardelia held a stack of tarot cards in her hand and said to Boatswain Nina and others:
"I'm going to stay in Rune for the next while, and you're going to keep Frank out of the strange experiments. ”
