Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire
Chapter 128 It must have been done by A Communist!
Chapter 128 It must have been done by A Communist!
"That's Afternoon Town."
On a small hill not far from the town in the afternoon, the girl stretched out her small hand to gently smooth her hair that was blown by the wind, and said softly, "It is said that if you pass there, you can reach the Giant King's Court."
Ember stood beside Alice, also looking at the afternoon town in the distance.
It is said to be a town, but it is not much smaller than the "Silver City" in the "Country of Silver" where they lived before.
Afternoon Town is built along the foot of the mountain, and is naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels.There are nights and days here, but all the days are in the 'afternoon' state, no matter whether it is heavy fog, heavy rain, or snow and ice, it can't cover the more violent sunlight.
"This is the only way to go to the Giant King's Court, here is the gate separating reality and myth!
"Where is the giant king?"
Ember looked at the magnificent palace behind the town in the afternoon, which seemed to be frozen in the dusk, and suddenly asked.
"Yes, not only the giant king Almir, but other giant gods are also in it. It is said that only devout believers can enter it and receive the reception and blessings of the giant gods."
Alice put her little hands behind her back, walked to Ember with light steps, leaned forward and looked at Ember sideways, and asked curiously, "But why are you asking these questions? You don't seem to be a believer of the Giant King Bar?"
Ember glanced at her, and calmly said:
"curious."
Alice puffed up and said 'do you think I look like a fool? ' expression, it is obvious that he will not believe his nonsense.
But Ember obviously had no intention of explaining, he just walked towards the afternoon town silently.
"Little Allen~, keep up."
Alice rolled her eyes, but still quickly followed Ember's footsteps, and waved to the young man behind her.
Allen's body trembled slightly, as if fighting against something, but in the end he followed silently.
Even though afternoon town is just a 'town', the prosperity here seems to be more prosperous than the country of silver.There was an endless stream of pious human believers coming and going, but the three of Ember were not conspicuous at all mixed in.
Alice looked at the devout crowd around her, and said softly with a little nostalgia in her tone:
"They're on a pilgrimage."
Ember's eyes glanced at a slightly hunched figure not far away, who was walking slowly towards Wuwu Town with a frequency of three steps and one kowtow.And people like him formed a long queue.
Their devotion to the giant's faith is almost palpable and needs no words.
But is it really worth it?
As the team moved forward slowly, the three embers mixed in the team finally arrived at the gate of Wuwu Town.
Unlike the City of Silver, in addition to a group of human guards at the gate of Afternoon Town, there are two five-meter-tall giants on both sides of the gate!
The skin of the two giants was a strange gray-blue color, and the chest, abdomen, waist and crotch were covered with thick beast fur, while the rest were exposed, and even their feet lacked protection.They are holding huge swords that are level with their chests and wider than a human door, and they are looking down at the believers entering the city with the iconic vertical one-eye on their foreheads.
And when believers see these tall and powerful giants, they will naturally feel awe instinctively.Because for mortals, those giant gods don't even need to make a move. These ordinary giants alone are the gods of war who can kill seven in and seven out of the crowd without getting hurt!
After entering the city, I found that the architectural form here is slightly different from that of the Silver City.
Here, gray stones are built into different houses, and these buildings are arranged compactly and spread out.Some of them are hollowed out entirely, close to ten meters, while others are almost the same as the living environment of normal people, only slightly taller than one person.
The short ones are for mortals, while the tall ones are for giants.
"Is it them? Is the ceremony ordered by the Lord to be handed over to them?"
"I don't know, do you want me to test it out?"
"Go, my Lord is watching you. If exposed, you know what to do."
"Understood, may the glory of mankind last forever."
"May the glory of mankind live forever, praise our Lord!"
"Praise my lord!"
Ember was walking on the streets of the city built of solid stone slabs, and Alice was holding his arm intimately, like a couple in love.But they didn't seem to notice it. Instead, Allen, who was following them, suddenly shuddered, and he suddenly looked around.
In the shadowed lanes between the houses, shadows seemed to be peeping.
……
Country of Silver, City of Silver.
In a majestic hall supported by stone pillars, which is ten meters high and completely unprepared for human beings, an old man with white hair and beard is bowing his head devoutly in prayer.Wilt Iliad looked at the old man's back and walked towards him silently.
In this huge and magnificent hall, human beings can easily feel their own insignificance when they are in it, and unconsciously respect the tall giant stone statues on both sides and the huge murals carved on both sides of the hall.
The same is true for Wirth, whenever his eyes sweep over those stone giants, he can't help but feel flustered, because he always feels that these giant stones seem to be alive.And when he glanced at the two huge murals in the hall, he lowered his head involuntarily.
Because among the two murals, the protagonist of one mural is a giant wearing silver full-body armor, emitting obvious light, and a cloud of morning light condenses in the eyes.In the center of the other one stands a female giant with long dark brown hair and a long skirt under a leather armor. She holds ears of wheat, fruits, etc., and is surrounded by harvested fields, clear lakes, fruiting trees and brightly colored flowers. mushroom.
Of these two giants, one is the god of the dawn, Badheil, and the other is the goddess of harvest, Omebela.The land of silver believes in Omebella, the goddess of harvest, and as her descendant, Badhier, the god of dawn, is also generously shared by the goddess of harvest.
Wirth glanced over the mural of the female giant, stayed there for a moment and then quickly moved away, silently lowering his head and not daring to look again.
I don't know how long he walked in this empty and magnificent hall, Wilt finally came behind the old man, and respectfully saluted:
"The High Priest."
The old man came back to his senses, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with cloudy eyeballs, and said with a smile:
"Wilter, in three days' time it will be God's birthday. At that time, the Goddess of Harvest will visit the Silver Kingdom in person to bless the pious people who believe in the Goddess. Have you prepared for the ceremony?"
Wilt still lowered his head, not knowing whether it was because of respect or something, he just whispered:
"We have already prepared everything, just waiting for the goddess to come."
After a pause, Wilt seemed hesitant and whispered:
"High Priest, many foreigners have come to the Silver Country recently. Their identities are unknown, and there are even blood races lurking in it. It's just that our city defense team alone can't tell them apart. I'm a little worried that these people may disrupt the ceremony."
The old man smiled, and his words were full of devout belief and reverence for the gods:
"It doesn't matter, the blade of my god will wipe out those sinners with ulterior motives. Besides, there are angels sitting in the city. If you are not sure about distinguishing those blood races, you can ask the angels for help."
Wilt lowered his head, nodded thoughtfully, and said respectfully:
"Yes, High Priest."
The old man showed a gratified smile, and silently turned around to look at the tall female giant statue in front of him, respectfully and piously:
"Praise the goddess."
Wirth lowered his head a little, and also prayed in a low voice:
"Praise my lord."
After praying, Wilt silently exited the magnificent palace.
Under the gaze of the palace guards, he walked silently across the square in front of the palace, across the street and back home.
"Crench!"
Wirth pushed open the door, and a soft female voice came from the inner room, "Wilter, are you back? Lunch is ready, please wait a moment."
"it is good."
Wirth looked at his wife who came out of the kitchen and smiled happily.
He is married and has two children.
One has been trained in the reserve of the city defense team, and the other is still in its infancy.
Sitting at the dining table, Wilt looked at his wife, and the two smiled at each other.Then close your eyes at the same time, put your hands together and start praying sincerely:
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us Just as we forgive our debtors. Do not let us meet temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are all yours, forever, Amen!"
……
In the Eastern Continent, a small village close to the sphere of influence of the elves.
In a magnificent temple located in the center of the village, there is a tall, vertical one-eyed giant statue enshrined, which is the giant king Ormir.At this time, a man wearing a white robe with a silver cross hanging on his chest was standing in front of the huge statue.He bowed his head and appeared to be praying.
This man's hair is not long, mainly jet black, but the roots are light yellowish to golden in color. His eyes are blue, but if you look closely, you can see a ray of golden light.His skin was fairer, his features were deep, his eyes were sunken, and he looked as if he came from the north.
He didn't know whether he was thinking or listening, and suddenly reached out to hold the silver cross on his chest, the corners of his mouth curled up a little bit, and said in a low voice:
"Amen."
"host!"
At this moment, a handsome young man with red hair as bright as fire suddenly ran towards the temple in a hurry, shouting loudly as he ran, "Leodro and Osykus want to Rebel!"
"Medic."
The white-robed man glanced at him and said leisurely, "What did you do to make Leodro and the others angry?"
"It's not my fault this time!"
The boy called Medici looked aggrieved.
But the white-robed man just shook his head, apparently not believing what Medici said.
At the rear, two tall but equally handsome youths were rapidly approaching the temple, obviously chasing Medici.But when they saw the man in the white robe, their footsteps slowed down quickly, and they bowed their heads respectfully:
"host."
The man in white robe nodded slightly, and ordered:
"Leonro, go and call Saslier and Ulorius over."
"Yes, my lord."
Leodro replied respectfully, took a few steps back before turning around and leaving in one direction.
The red-haired boy asked curiously:
"My lord, where are we going?"
The corners of the white-robed man's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile:
"Go and cooperate with the giant king."
"Cooperation?"
Medici has a strange expression. You, a believer who robbed others, are still talking about cooperating?Are you not afraid of being slapped to death by the Giant King?
The white-robed man suddenly withdrew his smile, and looked at Medici expressionlessly.
……
In a secret space filled with light, a cross with a height of more than [-] meters stands in front of it.In front of the cross, a huge blurry figure stood there, carrying everything on its back, watching the spirits with pity.
In front of the giant, there were rows of black seats with backrests, but there was only one prayer.
The praying man closed his eyes, sitting in the center of the first row, wearing a rather simple white robe, with a pale gold beard covering the lower half of his face, clasping his hands in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, with an expression Gentle and calm.
At this time, he raised his head, revealing the clear eyes like a child, and whispered peacefully:
"I always thought that you fell into a deep sleep after that, and I have been waiting for you to wake up."
"But I didn't realize until now that I've actually been waking up from a deep sleep all this time. You from the future. This is really surprising."
"No, it doesn't seem like I should be surprised, it's more for another me."
"What has been, will be again; what has been done, will be done again."
"Is the power of this time also caused by the first fire? If it was the first time, can He do this? It should be possible."
"It's just, why didn't you think of burning me at that time? Isn't this the goal you have been pursuing so hard?"
"If you don't burn anything, how can you continue the first fire?"
"Then what I have done, is it meaningless?"
"Or is it all a lie from the beginning? It started with a lie and ended with a lie."
He suddenly raised his head, probably thinking that he should smile at this time, so the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
In front of him, a picture suddenly appeared, from far to near, from blurred to clear.In the end, the person in the picture just appeared in front of his eyes.It was a man in a white robe with a very classical atmosphere.
There is a round of halo behind his head, quietly emitting a glow, like a round of the sun.Under his feet, there is an imaginary circle divided into twelve grids, and each grid has symbols that symbolize different times.There is a shadow like a curtain hidden behind him, and there seems to be an eye silently peering outside in the shadow.
He suddenly sighed softly, waved his hand to fade away the scene, and whispered again:
"What is your relationship with her? Or, what is your relationship with them?"
"It's just that no matter what you want to do now, it is extremely detrimental to me now, even if there is another me. This may be a good thing, or it may be a bad thing. Looking back now, if it was burned again at that time, the situation might be better than now Much more."
"Although that will make me lose some of my strength, at least I don't have to be troubled by it at first."
"Of course, it's also possible that I was completely burned out."
His voice became smaller and smaller until his figure suddenly disappeared.And after he disappeared, the entire space seemed to return to nothingness.
……
October 11, another Monday.
At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Klein entered the mysterious space above the gray fog ahead of schedule.In the grand and ancient palace, he sat in the seat belonging to 'The Fool', and his eyes began to search silently among the crimson stars, big or small, illusory or solid.
But as always, he still couldn't find the existence of that cluster of flames.
"It's troublesome."
Klein let out a long sigh. During this week, he would come to the cluster of 'flames' above the gray mist to symbolize the corresponding embers every day, but every time he returned without success.And in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Tarot Society meeting again, so how could he explain Ember's 'disappearance' to others?
Klein frowned tightly, not only thinking about the solution, but also thinking about where the embers are now.
According to the results of the last divination, Ember is indeed in the Land Abandoned by God.But until now, Little Sun still has no information about Ember.Klein speculated that it might be the interference of Amon's clone before he died, which caused Ember to land in the wrong place although he successfully arrived at the Land Abandoned by God.
He was supposed to appear next to Little Sun, but probably because of the interference of Amon's avatar before he died, he finally appeared in another place, maybe even beside Amon's body.
But this still can't explain why the 'flame' suddenly 'disappears', of course, it may be 'shielded' by something, which makes him temporarily unable to find the flame that can symbolize the embers.
But first of all, what is certain is that the Land Abandoned by God must not be able to do this, otherwise Little Sun would have no way to get in touch with him.That is Amon?The possibility is not very high. Although he has a high probability of being a Sequence 1 angel, second only to the gods, he is not a real god after all.
Although Amon almost succeeded in invading above the gray mist, it was 'almost' after all.Besides, Amon needs the help of the little sun as a medium to even invade above the gray mist, and it is nonsense to interfere with above the gray mist.
But if none of these were the main culprits that caused the disappearance of the 'flame', then what was the reason?
Could it be that there is a true god interfering?The Eternal Blazing Sun has proved that the true god cannot interfere with the gray mist at will, and the only precedent that the gray fog was successfully "invaded" was when he first divined the embers.
"He is the Goddess of the Night, who is loftier than the starry sky and longer than eternity. She is also the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Calamity and Fear, and the Lord of Sleep and Silence."
Klein recited the goddess' honorable name in a low voice, and the memory of being invaded by the goddess above the gray mist appeared in his mind.Although the goddess was successfully 'forced back' above the gray mist in the end, the degree of invasion of the goddess was obviously stronger than that of Eternal Blazing Sun.But if the Goddess was not being 'forced to retreat', but just wanted to give him a small warning and retreated voluntarily, then the nature would be completely different!
The goddess who is the 'Mother of Secrets' may really be able to 'cover' the flames that represent embers.But this still doesn't make sense, for example, the goddess shouldn't cooperate with Amon.
Regardless of whether Ember was beside Amon himself or was 'covered' by the goddess, his divination would definitely alert the two of them, and even lead to another invasion above the gray mist.
And even if the previous divination showed that Ember was not in danger, and even if the result of the divination showed that he could get in touch with Ember again, it was impossible for Klein to just let it go with peace of mind!He had to do this divination, because he lost the person.
Klein took a deep breath, opened his right hand, and held an emerald ring full of cracks and bump marks.This was the sacrificial ring that Ember sold to Miss 'Justice' back then, but Klein used his identity as 'World' to deceive Miss Audrey under the pretext that he was in danger.
Of course, Klein didn't intend to just shamelessly steal the ring, he just planned to use the ring for divination.After all, if there are items used by the divination target during divination, the result of divination will be more accurate.
Klein manifested a piece of parchment, and immediately wrote specific divination statements on the paper:
"The location of the embers."
After reading it silently seven times, he took the parchment and the sacrificial ring, and leaned back in the chair.Within a few seconds, Klein's eyes darkened from brown to black, and he entered a state of meditation.His eyelids drooped, and he "saw" an illusory and hazy dream.
It was a huge city that was built on the hillside and divided into upper, middle and lower layers!
And Ember was on the streets of this city, and beside him was a cute, cute, beautiful girl with a smile like a flower, who seemed to be talking about love.Judging by the direction they were facing, it seemed that they were about to leave the city.
And behind the two of them, there was a cowering young man who seemed to be trembling with fear.In addition, on the streets near them, there were bustling crowds passing by.
And what surprised Klein the most was that among the passing crowd, there were several giants with gray-blue skin and vertical one-eyed eyes!That's a real giant, but isn't the giant already extinct?
But the picture didn't give Klein time to be shocked, because when his eyes followed the eyes of Ember who suddenly turned back in the picture, he pulled his eyes into the distance.Only then did I realize that behind the town, on the high mountain, there is a building that seems to be frozen in the dusk!
Klein didn't know what other words to use to describe it. Spectacular, majestic, and majestic, it was just like the palace of the giant in the legend!
When Klein saw this, the dream quickly faded and he woke up, but the shock of seeing the dream still remained in his eyes.
"No, maybe it's not like it, it might really be the Giant King's Court!"
Klein swallowed, and suddenly realized a serious question.
According to Little Sun, there are not many living people in the Land Abandoned by God.At least for the past thousand years, they have not found any living people in the wild except for the City of Silver!And more importantly, there is no day in the Land Abandoned by God, only night!
But the place where the embers were was was bustling with crowds of people coming and going, and it was still daytime!Although it looked like it was close to dusk in the afternoon, it was indeed daytime, and this was by no means what the Land Abandoned by God should look like!
But those giants, as well as the magnificent building that seems to be the royal court of giants, and the little sun once said that "the belief in the city of silver was the king of giants, and the city of silver is near the royal court of giants", and "the embers are here The divination results of Land Abandoned by God...
All of these combined together told Klein a message that shocked him and even the gods:
The embers were indeed in the Land Abandoned by the Gods, but it was the Land Abandoned by the Gods that had not been abandoned by the gods before the catastrophe happened!There was indeed an error in his time travel, but the error was not in space, but in time!
Klein thought almost subconsciously:
"Manus must have done it!"
The corner of Klein's mouth grinned, and he suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little twitching, so he decisively threw them away.Although he still doesn't know the reason for the ember's 'traversal', Klein intuited that this should not be due to any interference, but related to the 'first fire'.
But no matter what, at least he can now confidently explain Ember's disappearance to the members of the Tarot Society.
Soon, the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon.Rays of light rose from the giant-like palace, and 'Justice', 'The Hanged Man' and others respectively projected blurred figures dyed reddish.
"Good afternoon, Mister Fool."
Audrey greeted every member of the Tarot Society as usual, but when her eyes came into contact with the empty place where the embers were supposed to be, she suddenly stopped.
'Magician' Forsi quietly clenched her hands under the table, pursing her lips slightly:
"Haven't you come back yet? What happened?"
"Mr. Fool."
Forsi took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and stood up, "I, I have collected 33 pages of Roselle's diary this time, and I will share these diaries with you several times, but I hope to get an answer from you .”
"33 pages?"
Klein's expression moved slightly.
With this amount of diaries, even Miss 'Justice' can't do it. Ms. 'Forsi' probably used the contacts of the Abraham family. Should it be said that it is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years?As for Miss Forsi's question, Klein had already expected it.
"can."
Klein was right in his heart, and said with a smile, "You can ask your question first."
"Mr. Fool, I am applying for private communication."
Fors hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice.
Mister 'Fool' nodded slightly, waved his hand to shield the perception of others, and then turned his gaze to Miss 'Magician', motioning her to continue.
Fors pursed her lips, summoned up her courage and asked:
"Mr. Fool, I, I just want to know where the embers are?"
Klein was not surprised by Forsi's question, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart:
"Looking at it like this, Miss 'Magician' probably hasn't told Miss 'Judgment' and Miss 'Justice' about Ember's disappearance. Is this a plan to sacrifice herself to protect them as much as possible?"
"I'm a little envious."
Klein's expression was a bit complicated. He thought of the captain, Leonard, Benson and Melissa again.But he quickly adjusted his state, and with the ability of the clown to control his expression, he said with a relaxed tone:
"Do you want one person to know the answer, or do you want others to know too?"
"Myself."
Fors said without hesitation.
'The Fool' nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he manifested the dream he had just divined to Forsi.
"..."
Forsi stood there in a daze, as if she was shocked by the scene.
This made Klein quite satisfied. He was in the same state when he saw this picture, which was normal.
"Mr. Fool."
Forsi hesitated for a long time, then asked in a low voice, "I want to know what kind of place this is?"
Klein leaned back on the back of the chair and said leisurely:
"Land Abandoned by the Gods, Giant King's Court."
"I……"
Forsi's brain was a bit down, as if she couldn't process the overly complicated information, she could only ask with difficulty, "Mr. Fool, can you show the picture just now to others?"
"of course."
Klein smiled slightly, "I like equivalent exchange, this is the answer you exchanged, and the decision is in your hands."
He wished that others could see this picture, otherwise what if others thought he had killed Ember?Wouldn't the credibility of his 'fool' be severely damaged?
……
The country of silver.
The three of Ember, who had returned from afternoon town, took a rented carriage back to the Kingdom of Silver. The journey was smooth and helpless, but they were stopped by guards when they passed through the city gate.But when the leading city defense captain stepped forward to check, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said in surprise:
"Mr. Ash, why are you?"
"Mr. Wilt."
Ember also looked at him with some doubts, "Aren't you from the city defense team?"
"The city defense team is also rotated."
Wilter Iliad shrugged, glanced at the Alice siblings in the carriage, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, he didn't look carefully last time, but this time he didn't expect the girl to be so beautiful.It's a pity that the last time I saw it was covered with a quilt, I really don't know what kind of delicate body is under the quilt...
It took a long time for Wilt to finally come back to his senses, calm down, and asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, "Where are you from?"
Ember didn't hide anything, and said frankly:
"We just came back from afternoon town."
Wilt showed it clearly that one of the purposes of many foreigners who came to the Silver Country was to go to Afternoon Town.
Because it was the closest place to the Giant King's Court, whenever they wanted to pay their respects to the gods, they would go to Afternoon Town.And the pilgrimage teams of those fanatical believers are even more endless, and can stretch out for more than ten miles.
However, most people will end up disappointed.After all, giant gods live in the Giant King's Court, so how could they easily appear in front of mortals?
"Mr. Ash."
Wilt reminded, "If you want to see the gods, you don't actually have to go to Afternoon Town."
After hearing this, Ember, who was originally indifferent to gods, became interested instead.
Knowing that he is not a local, Wilt explained patiently:
"In three days' time, it will be the birthday of the god. On that day, the Goddess of Harvest will come in person to bless the people of the Silver Kingdom. If you want to pay homage to the god, you might as well wait a few more days."
After a pause, Wirth added, "At that time, there may be more than one god present."
Wilt paused when he said this, as if he didn't want to continue to disclose more information.He also had no intention of continuing the conversation, but quickly waved his hand at the guards behind, motioning for them to let them go.
"In three days is the birthday of God?"
Ember looked sideways at the girl beside her, and asked suddenly.
"uh-huh."
Alice looked at him with a smile, and it took a long time before she said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "I don't even know about this kind of thing. I really don't know which mountain you jumped out of."
Ember ignored her, and cast her eyes on the young man with his head curled up and pretending to be an ostrich:
"Ellen, do you know?"
Allen still looked timid, and whispered back:
"The day of the god's birth is the day when the god was born. Every god has one day as its god's birthday, and the believers of the gods will hold celebrations on this day."
Ember's expression twitched slightly, it was as if you said what you said.
Shaking his head, Ember turned his gaze to Alice again and asked:
"Did you come here specially for the birthday of God?"
Alice showed a smile that seemed to make everything pale, and responded sweetly:
"you guess?"
Ember looked at her blankly and raised her hand at the same time.This made the smile on Alice's face, which was originally smiling like a flower, froze, and she looked at Ember in disbelief, her eyes seemed to say, "Are you not able to afford it?"
Facing the girl's questioning, Ember was going to use practical actions to prove this question:
That's right, he just can't afford it!
Alice was so frightened that her face turned pale, she curled up in a corner, looked like she was being bullied and defiled, and cried:
"Woooooo~ Don't come here! No, don't treat me like this, I'll just say it, and I'll sue you for anything you want to know."
"Actually, if it doesn't work, I can help you with my hands. Please don't do that...at least, at least not here."
"Be normal."
Ember withdrew her hand and said expressionlessly.
"Boring man."
Alice rolled her eyes, and sat back beside Ember again, with an elegant and sweet smile on her face again, and said with a smile, "That's right, Alan and I are here for the birthday of God, after all, this may be The only chance we have in this life to behold the honor of the gods up close. After all, they are gods~"
As Alice said, she couldn't help showing a longing look on her face, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly:
"Omebella, Goddess of Harvest, what a wonderful name! Ash, don't you think so?"
Ember didn't respond to her, but looked thoughtfully at the top of the girl's head, as if she knew something.
And Alice still had a faint smile on her mouth, looking out of the city thoughtfully.Before the Harvest Goddess arrives, she needs to do one more thing, at least she must have the strength to match it.
For example, the barren mistress who was promoted to Sequence 2.
……
Above the gray mist, in the magnificent palace, the Tarot Society almost fell into dead silence for a while.
"Land Abandoned by God?"
'The Hanged Man' Argel asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fool, if I want to know how Mr. 'Lover' can get to the Land Abandoned by God, what price will I have to pay?"
'The Fool' Klein laughed softly:
"This approach doesn't work for anyone other than 'lovers.'"
Other people are not like embers who can 'separate body and soul' without problems, let alone travel through time and space.As long as someone really learns the operation of embers and insists on going through the illusory gate to the location of other members, their soul may survive, but there is no guarantee that there will be no physical problems.
And Klein doesn't want to conduct some dangerous experiments casually to reduce the staff of Tarot. Naturally, he wants to block the possibility of other people's death in advance. Isn't it good to live?
"Doesn't that apply?"
Alger nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he had already discovered Ember's particularity, and he also connected the two at this time.
"Mr. Fool."
Miss 'Justice' asked with some hesitation, "Then, when will Mister 'Lover' come back?"
Klein's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a chuckle:
"It depends on when he wants to come back."
"Sorry, Ember."
Klein silently apologized from the bottom of his heart, after all he didn't know when he would be able to contact Ember.
And at this time, if you can't pretend to be stupid and get over it, then just throw the pot away!
"Mr. Fool!"
Derrick the 'Sun' finally couldn't hold back any longer. With an extremely excited and shocking mood, he couldn't help interjecting and asked, "I want to know where Mr. 'Lover' is in the Land Abandoned by God?"
The other members all set their sights on Derrick, they all knew what Ember's position meant to Derrick——
In the Land Abandoned by God, there is no concept of so-called day at all, everything is shrouded in darkness.And now the embers not only appeared in the Land Abandoned by God, but also during the daytime!This place is worth more to Derrick and to the City of Silver than anything else!
Klein tapped his fingers on the long bronze table, and said calmly:
"The periphery of the Giant's Court."
He didn't know exactly where the embers were, so he could only use 'periphery' to refer to——
After all, there are so many giants in the picture, and that magnificent palace can already be called the royal court of giants.
Derrick stood up excitedly and asked:
"You mean Afternoon Town?"
"Afternoon town?"
The eyes of the 'Hanged Man' flickered, and suddenly asked, "Where is that place?"
"Sorry, I lost my temper."
Derrick calmed down a bit, and explained while sorting out his thoughts, "According to the records of the City of Silver, this was the only way that the Kingdom of Silver had to go to the Giant King's Court, where humans and giants lived together in the town, surrounded by It is like the last gate from the real world to the myths and legends.”
After a pause, Derrick continued, "It's just that although the afternoon town is not far from the City of Silver in the records, we haven't found any trace of its existence for so many years. All the towns we found are only There are no ruins, and there is no town like Afternoon Town that is forever frozen in the afternoon dusk."
"No, maybe you've found it, you just didn't recognize it."
Klein complained in his heart.
The embers are in the past, before the giants were extinct and the cataclysm hadn't happened.At that time, the Giant King was probably still alive, and 'Afternoon Town' was of course still in the state of dusk.But thousands of years have passed, and the dusk of "Afternoon Town" may have already been shrouded in darkness.
"Mr. Fool."
After Derrick finished explaining, he continued to ask in a somewhat apprehensive voice, "I want to know how to get to Afternoon Town, and I'm willing to pay any price for this! No, the City of Silver is willing to pay any price for this!"
Derrick's expression was extremely excited, and he believed that if the elders of the six-member council knew about this matter, they would definitely agree to it!Because in the environment where Derrick lives, the night is the most terrifying existence. Once they leave the City of Silver, they must maintain a state of being illuminated by light at all times. Even if they lose it for a short time, the interval cannot exceed five seconds.
Otherwise, they will completely 'disappear' in the darkness.
Surviving in this environment for thousands of years, 'Daylight' has become a legend in the City of Silver.And if they can live under daylight again, they are willing to give everything for the light of dusk!
"Unfortunately, no."
Klein sighed in his heart, but he still had to maintain a 'fool' posture on his face, so he just shook his head calmly:
"As I said before, this method is only suitable for Mr. 'Lover'."
Derrick froze in place, and sat back down in a daze after a long while.
But at the same time, a question also emerged in other people's minds.
Why only for Embers?
PS: How many people have watched Harvest Night, deduct 1 to make me healthy.
PS: Explain the problem of pulling people.
First of all, before Ke Zong became a Extraordinary, he could draw two, Justice and The Hanged Man.
Ordinary people: 2 places and 2 members.
Secondly, starting from the original text:
Volume 77Chapter [-]:
Moreover, after becoming a "Seer" and gaining extraordinary power, Klein also found that he had a better grasp of that mysterious space. For example, he could draw another member to join the party.
At this time, Ke Zong had just become a Extraordinary.
Sequence 9: 3 places, 2 members.
Volume II Chapter 13:
"But there are certain restrictions. With my current strength, I can at most establish another connection."
At this time, Ke Tuo had just been promoted to Sequence 8, not long after arriving in Backlund.At that time, Xio had already been pulled above the gray mist, but she was not allowed to participate in the Tarot Club, and a "test" was still needed, and she could pull another one at this moment.
Sequence 8: 5 places, 4 members.
Chapter 240, Volume [-]:
"Counting the unburdened ones before, roughly four new members can be recruited, but there is no target for the time being."
At this time, counting the existing justice, the Hanged Man, the sun, the magician, and Hugh who was pulled but not completely pulled, there are already five people.
Sequence 6: 9 places, 5 members.
Summary: Squid is also calculated strictly according to the fact that each sequence can add 2 quotas, and one can be added for promotion and complete digestion of potions.
(End of this chapter)
"That's Afternoon Town."
On a small hill not far from the town in the afternoon, the girl stretched out her small hand to gently smooth her hair that was blown by the wind, and said softly, "It is said that if you pass there, you can reach the Giant King's Court."
Ember stood beside Alice, also looking at the afternoon town in the distance.
It is said to be a town, but it is not much smaller than the "Silver City" in the "Country of Silver" where they lived before.
Afternoon Town is built along the foot of the mountain, and is naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels.There are nights and days here, but all the days are in the 'afternoon' state, no matter whether it is heavy fog, heavy rain, or snow and ice, it can't cover the more violent sunlight.
"This is the only way to go to the Giant King's Court, here is the gate separating reality and myth!
"Where is the giant king?"
Ember looked at the magnificent palace behind the town in the afternoon, which seemed to be frozen in the dusk, and suddenly asked.
"Yes, not only the giant king Almir, but other giant gods are also in it. It is said that only devout believers can enter it and receive the reception and blessings of the giant gods."
Alice put her little hands behind her back, walked to Ember with light steps, leaned forward and looked at Ember sideways, and asked curiously, "But why are you asking these questions? You don't seem to be a believer of the Giant King Bar?"
Ember glanced at her, and calmly said:
"curious."
Alice puffed up and said 'do you think I look like a fool? ' expression, it is obvious that he will not believe his nonsense.
But Ember obviously had no intention of explaining, he just walked towards the afternoon town silently.
"Little Allen~, keep up."
Alice rolled her eyes, but still quickly followed Ember's footsteps, and waved to the young man behind her.
Allen's body trembled slightly, as if fighting against something, but in the end he followed silently.
Even though afternoon town is just a 'town', the prosperity here seems to be more prosperous than the country of silver.There was an endless stream of pious human believers coming and going, but the three of Ember were not conspicuous at all mixed in.
Alice looked at the devout crowd around her, and said softly with a little nostalgia in her tone:
"They're on a pilgrimage."
Ember's eyes glanced at a slightly hunched figure not far away, who was walking slowly towards Wuwu Town with a frequency of three steps and one kowtow.And people like him formed a long queue.
Their devotion to the giant's faith is almost palpable and needs no words.
But is it really worth it?
As the team moved forward slowly, the three embers mixed in the team finally arrived at the gate of Wuwu Town.
Unlike the City of Silver, in addition to a group of human guards at the gate of Afternoon Town, there are two five-meter-tall giants on both sides of the gate!
The skin of the two giants was a strange gray-blue color, and the chest, abdomen, waist and crotch were covered with thick beast fur, while the rest were exposed, and even their feet lacked protection.They are holding huge swords that are level with their chests and wider than a human door, and they are looking down at the believers entering the city with the iconic vertical one-eye on their foreheads.
And when believers see these tall and powerful giants, they will naturally feel awe instinctively.Because for mortals, those giant gods don't even need to make a move. These ordinary giants alone are the gods of war who can kill seven in and seven out of the crowd without getting hurt!
After entering the city, I found that the architectural form here is slightly different from that of the Silver City.
Here, gray stones are built into different houses, and these buildings are arranged compactly and spread out.Some of them are hollowed out entirely, close to ten meters, while others are almost the same as the living environment of normal people, only slightly taller than one person.
The short ones are for mortals, while the tall ones are for giants.
"Is it them? Is the ceremony ordered by the Lord to be handed over to them?"
"I don't know, do you want me to test it out?"
"Go, my Lord is watching you. If exposed, you know what to do."
"Understood, may the glory of mankind last forever."
"May the glory of mankind live forever, praise our Lord!"
"Praise my lord!"
Ember was walking on the streets of the city built of solid stone slabs, and Alice was holding his arm intimately, like a couple in love.But they didn't seem to notice it. Instead, Allen, who was following them, suddenly shuddered, and he suddenly looked around.
In the shadowed lanes between the houses, shadows seemed to be peeping.
……
Country of Silver, City of Silver.
In a majestic hall supported by stone pillars, which is ten meters high and completely unprepared for human beings, an old man with white hair and beard is bowing his head devoutly in prayer.Wilt Iliad looked at the old man's back and walked towards him silently.
In this huge and magnificent hall, human beings can easily feel their own insignificance when they are in it, and unconsciously respect the tall giant stone statues on both sides and the huge murals carved on both sides of the hall.
The same is true for Wirth, whenever his eyes sweep over those stone giants, he can't help but feel flustered, because he always feels that these giant stones seem to be alive.And when he glanced at the two huge murals in the hall, he lowered his head involuntarily.
Because among the two murals, the protagonist of one mural is a giant wearing silver full-body armor, emitting obvious light, and a cloud of morning light condenses in the eyes.In the center of the other one stands a female giant with long dark brown hair and a long skirt under a leather armor. She holds ears of wheat, fruits, etc., and is surrounded by harvested fields, clear lakes, fruiting trees and brightly colored flowers. mushroom.
Of these two giants, one is the god of the dawn, Badheil, and the other is the goddess of harvest, Omebela.The land of silver believes in Omebella, the goddess of harvest, and as her descendant, Badhier, the god of dawn, is also generously shared by the goddess of harvest.
Wirth glanced over the mural of the female giant, stayed there for a moment and then quickly moved away, silently lowering his head and not daring to look again.
I don't know how long he walked in this empty and magnificent hall, Wilt finally came behind the old man, and respectfully saluted:
"The High Priest."
The old man came back to his senses, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with cloudy eyeballs, and said with a smile:
"Wilter, in three days' time it will be God's birthday. At that time, the Goddess of Harvest will visit the Silver Kingdom in person to bless the pious people who believe in the Goddess. Have you prepared for the ceremony?"
Wilt still lowered his head, not knowing whether it was because of respect or something, he just whispered:
"We have already prepared everything, just waiting for the goddess to come."
After a pause, Wilt seemed hesitant and whispered:
"High Priest, many foreigners have come to the Silver Country recently. Their identities are unknown, and there are even blood races lurking in it. It's just that our city defense team alone can't tell them apart. I'm a little worried that these people may disrupt the ceremony."
The old man smiled, and his words were full of devout belief and reverence for the gods:
"It doesn't matter, the blade of my god will wipe out those sinners with ulterior motives. Besides, there are angels sitting in the city. If you are not sure about distinguishing those blood races, you can ask the angels for help."
Wilt lowered his head, nodded thoughtfully, and said respectfully:
"Yes, High Priest."
The old man showed a gratified smile, and silently turned around to look at the tall female giant statue in front of him, respectfully and piously:
"Praise the goddess."
Wirth lowered his head a little, and also prayed in a low voice:
"Praise my lord."
After praying, Wilt silently exited the magnificent palace.
Under the gaze of the palace guards, he walked silently across the square in front of the palace, across the street and back home.
"Crench!"
Wirth pushed open the door, and a soft female voice came from the inner room, "Wilter, are you back? Lunch is ready, please wait a moment."
"it is good."
Wirth looked at his wife who came out of the kitchen and smiled happily.
He is married and has two children.
One has been trained in the reserve of the city defense team, and the other is still in its infancy.
Sitting at the dining table, Wilt looked at his wife, and the two smiled at each other.Then close your eyes at the same time, put your hands together and start praying sincerely:
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us Just as we forgive our debtors. Do not let us meet temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are all yours, forever, Amen!"
……
In the Eastern Continent, a small village close to the sphere of influence of the elves.
In a magnificent temple located in the center of the village, there is a tall, vertical one-eyed giant statue enshrined, which is the giant king Ormir.At this time, a man wearing a white robe with a silver cross hanging on his chest was standing in front of the huge statue.He bowed his head and appeared to be praying.
This man's hair is not long, mainly jet black, but the roots are light yellowish to golden in color. His eyes are blue, but if you look closely, you can see a ray of golden light.His skin was fairer, his features were deep, his eyes were sunken, and he looked as if he came from the north.
He didn't know whether he was thinking or listening, and suddenly reached out to hold the silver cross on his chest, the corners of his mouth curled up a little bit, and said in a low voice:
"Amen."
"host!"
At this moment, a handsome young man with red hair as bright as fire suddenly ran towards the temple in a hurry, shouting loudly as he ran, "Leodro and Osykus want to Rebel!"
"Medic."
The white-robed man glanced at him and said leisurely, "What did you do to make Leodro and the others angry?"
"It's not my fault this time!"
The boy called Medici looked aggrieved.
But the white-robed man just shook his head, apparently not believing what Medici said.
At the rear, two tall but equally handsome youths were rapidly approaching the temple, obviously chasing Medici.But when they saw the man in the white robe, their footsteps slowed down quickly, and they bowed their heads respectfully:
"host."
The man in white robe nodded slightly, and ordered:
"Leonro, go and call Saslier and Ulorius over."
"Yes, my lord."
Leodro replied respectfully, took a few steps back before turning around and leaving in one direction.
The red-haired boy asked curiously:
"My lord, where are we going?"
The corners of the white-robed man's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile:
"Go and cooperate with the giant king."
"Cooperation?"
Medici has a strange expression. You, a believer who robbed others, are still talking about cooperating?Are you not afraid of being slapped to death by the Giant King?
The white-robed man suddenly withdrew his smile, and looked at Medici expressionlessly.
……
In a secret space filled with light, a cross with a height of more than [-] meters stands in front of it.In front of the cross, a huge blurry figure stood there, carrying everything on its back, watching the spirits with pity.
In front of the giant, there were rows of black seats with backrests, but there was only one prayer.
The praying man closed his eyes, sitting in the center of the first row, wearing a rather simple white robe, with a pale gold beard covering the lower half of his face, clasping his hands in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, with an expression Gentle and calm.
At this time, he raised his head, revealing the clear eyes like a child, and whispered peacefully:
"I always thought that you fell into a deep sleep after that, and I have been waiting for you to wake up."
"But I didn't realize until now that I've actually been waking up from a deep sleep all this time. You from the future. This is really surprising."
"No, it doesn't seem like I should be surprised, it's more for another me."
"What has been, will be again; what has been done, will be done again."
"Is the power of this time also caused by the first fire? If it was the first time, can He do this? It should be possible."
"It's just, why didn't you think of burning me at that time? Isn't this the goal you have been pursuing so hard?"
"If you don't burn anything, how can you continue the first fire?"
"Then what I have done, is it meaningless?"
"Or is it all a lie from the beginning? It started with a lie and ended with a lie."
He suddenly raised his head, probably thinking that he should smile at this time, so the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
In front of him, a picture suddenly appeared, from far to near, from blurred to clear.In the end, the person in the picture just appeared in front of his eyes.It was a man in a white robe with a very classical atmosphere.
There is a round of halo behind his head, quietly emitting a glow, like a round of the sun.Under his feet, there is an imaginary circle divided into twelve grids, and each grid has symbols that symbolize different times.There is a shadow like a curtain hidden behind him, and there seems to be an eye silently peering outside in the shadow.
He suddenly sighed softly, waved his hand to fade away the scene, and whispered again:
"What is your relationship with her? Or, what is your relationship with them?"
"It's just that no matter what you want to do now, it is extremely detrimental to me now, even if there is another me. This may be a good thing, or it may be a bad thing. Looking back now, if it was burned again at that time, the situation might be better than now Much more."
"Although that will make me lose some of my strength, at least I don't have to be troubled by it at first."
"Of course, it's also possible that I was completely burned out."
His voice became smaller and smaller until his figure suddenly disappeared.And after he disappeared, the entire space seemed to return to nothingness.
……
October 11, another Monday.
At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Klein entered the mysterious space above the gray fog ahead of schedule.In the grand and ancient palace, he sat in the seat belonging to 'The Fool', and his eyes began to search silently among the crimson stars, big or small, illusory or solid.
But as always, he still couldn't find the existence of that cluster of flames.
"It's troublesome."
Klein let out a long sigh. During this week, he would come to the cluster of 'flames' above the gray mist to symbolize the corresponding embers every day, but every time he returned without success.And in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Tarot Society meeting again, so how could he explain Ember's 'disappearance' to others?
Klein frowned tightly, not only thinking about the solution, but also thinking about where the embers are now.
According to the results of the last divination, Ember is indeed in the Land Abandoned by God.But until now, Little Sun still has no information about Ember.Klein speculated that it might be the interference of Amon's clone before he died, which caused Ember to land in the wrong place although he successfully arrived at the Land Abandoned by God.
He was supposed to appear next to Little Sun, but probably because of the interference of Amon's avatar before he died, he finally appeared in another place, maybe even beside Amon's body.
But this still can't explain why the 'flame' suddenly 'disappears', of course, it may be 'shielded' by something, which makes him temporarily unable to find the flame that can symbolize the embers.
But first of all, what is certain is that the Land Abandoned by God must not be able to do this, otherwise Little Sun would have no way to get in touch with him.That is Amon?The possibility is not very high. Although he has a high probability of being a Sequence 1 angel, second only to the gods, he is not a real god after all.
Although Amon almost succeeded in invading above the gray mist, it was 'almost' after all.Besides, Amon needs the help of the little sun as a medium to even invade above the gray mist, and it is nonsense to interfere with above the gray mist.
But if none of these were the main culprits that caused the disappearance of the 'flame', then what was the reason?
Could it be that there is a true god interfering?The Eternal Blazing Sun has proved that the true god cannot interfere with the gray mist at will, and the only precedent that the gray fog was successfully "invaded" was when he first divined the embers.
"He is the Goddess of the Night, who is loftier than the starry sky and longer than eternity. She is also the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Calamity and Fear, and the Lord of Sleep and Silence."
Klein recited the goddess' honorable name in a low voice, and the memory of being invaded by the goddess above the gray mist appeared in his mind.Although the goddess was successfully 'forced back' above the gray mist in the end, the degree of invasion of the goddess was obviously stronger than that of Eternal Blazing Sun.But if the Goddess was not being 'forced to retreat', but just wanted to give him a small warning and retreated voluntarily, then the nature would be completely different!
The goddess who is the 'Mother of Secrets' may really be able to 'cover' the flames that represent embers.But this still doesn't make sense, for example, the goddess shouldn't cooperate with Amon.
Regardless of whether Ember was beside Amon himself or was 'covered' by the goddess, his divination would definitely alert the two of them, and even lead to another invasion above the gray mist.
And even if the previous divination showed that Ember was not in danger, and even if the result of the divination showed that he could get in touch with Ember again, it was impossible for Klein to just let it go with peace of mind!He had to do this divination, because he lost the person.
Klein took a deep breath, opened his right hand, and held an emerald ring full of cracks and bump marks.This was the sacrificial ring that Ember sold to Miss 'Justice' back then, but Klein used his identity as 'World' to deceive Miss Audrey under the pretext that he was in danger.
Of course, Klein didn't intend to just shamelessly steal the ring, he just planned to use the ring for divination.After all, if there are items used by the divination target during divination, the result of divination will be more accurate.
Klein manifested a piece of parchment, and immediately wrote specific divination statements on the paper:
"The location of the embers."
After reading it silently seven times, he took the parchment and the sacrificial ring, and leaned back in the chair.Within a few seconds, Klein's eyes darkened from brown to black, and he entered a state of meditation.His eyelids drooped, and he "saw" an illusory and hazy dream.
It was a huge city that was built on the hillside and divided into upper, middle and lower layers!
And Ember was on the streets of this city, and beside him was a cute, cute, beautiful girl with a smile like a flower, who seemed to be talking about love.Judging by the direction they were facing, it seemed that they were about to leave the city.
And behind the two of them, there was a cowering young man who seemed to be trembling with fear.In addition, on the streets near them, there were bustling crowds passing by.
And what surprised Klein the most was that among the passing crowd, there were several giants with gray-blue skin and vertical one-eyed eyes!That's a real giant, but isn't the giant already extinct?
But the picture didn't give Klein time to be shocked, because when his eyes followed the eyes of Ember who suddenly turned back in the picture, he pulled his eyes into the distance.Only then did I realize that behind the town, on the high mountain, there is a building that seems to be frozen in the dusk!
Klein didn't know what other words to use to describe it. Spectacular, majestic, and majestic, it was just like the palace of the giant in the legend!
When Klein saw this, the dream quickly faded and he woke up, but the shock of seeing the dream still remained in his eyes.
"No, maybe it's not like it, it might really be the Giant King's Court!"
Klein swallowed, and suddenly realized a serious question.
According to Little Sun, there are not many living people in the Land Abandoned by God.At least for the past thousand years, they have not found any living people in the wild except for the City of Silver!And more importantly, there is no day in the Land Abandoned by God, only night!
But the place where the embers were was was bustling with crowds of people coming and going, and it was still daytime!Although it looked like it was close to dusk in the afternoon, it was indeed daytime, and this was by no means what the Land Abandoned by God should look like!
But those giants, as well as the magnificent building that seems to be the royal court of giants, and the little sun once said that "the belief in the city of silver was the king of giants, and the city of silver is near the royal court of giants", and "the embers are here The divination results of Land Abandoned by God...
All of these combined together told Klein a message that shocked him and even the gods:
The embers were indeed in the Land Abandoned by the Gods, but it was the Land Abandoned by the Gods that had not been abandoned by the gods before the catastrophe happened!There was indeed an error in his time travel, but the error was not in space, but in time!
Klein thought almost subconsciously:
"Manus must have done it!"
The corner of Klein's mouth grinned, and he suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little twitching, so he decisively threw them away.Although he still doesn't know the reason for the ember's 'traversal', Klein intuited that this should not be due to any interference, but related to the 'first fire'.
But no matter what, at least he can now confidently explain Ember's disappearance to the members of the Tarot Society.
Soon, the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon.Rays of light rose from the giant-like palace, and 'Justice', 'The Hanged Man' and others respectively projected blurred figures dyed reddish.
"Good afternoon, Mister Fool."
Audrey greeted every member of the Tarot Society as usual, but when her eyes came into contact with the empty place where the embers were supposed to be, she suddenly stopped.
'Magician' Forsi quietly clenched her hands under the table, pursing her lips slightly:
"Haven't you come back yet? What happened?"
"Mr. Fool."
Forsi took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and stood up, "I, I have collected 33 pages of Roselle's diary this time, and I will share these diaries with you several times, but I hope to get an answer from you .”
"33 pages?"
Klein's expression moved slightly.
With this amount of diaries, even Miss 'Justice' can't do it. Ms. 'Forsi' probably used the contacts of the Abraham family. Should it be said that it is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years?As for Miss Forsi's question, Klein had already expected it.
"can."
Klein was right in his heart, and said with a smile, "You can ask your question first."
"Mr. Fool, I am applying for private communication."
Fors hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice.
Mister 'Fool' nodded slightly, waved his hand to shield the perception of others, and then turned his gaze to Miss 'Magician', motioning her to continue.
Fors pursed her lips, summoned up her courage and asked:
"Mr. Fool, I, I just want to know where the embers are?"
Klein was not surprised by Forsi's question, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart:
"Looking at it like this, Miss 'Magician' probably hasn't told Miss 'Judgment' and Miss 'Justice' about Ember's disappearance. Is this a plan to sacrifice herself to protect them as much as possible?"
"I'm a little envious."
Klein's expression was a bit complicated. He thought of the captain, Leonard, Benson and Melissa again.But he quickly adjusted his state, and with the ability of the clown to control his expression, he said with a relaxed tone:
"Do you want one person to know the answer, or do you want others to know too?"
"Myself."
Fors said without hesitation.
'The Fool' nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he manifested the dream he had just divined to Forsi.
"..."
Forsi stood there in a daze, as if she was shocked by the scene.
This made Klein quite satisfied. He was in the same state when he saw this picture, which was normal.
"Mr. Fool."
Forsi hesitated for a long time, then asked in a low voice, "I want to know what kind of place this is?"
Klein leaned back on the back of the chair and said leisurely:
"Land Abandoned by the Gods, Giant King's Court."
"I……"
Forsi's brain was a bit down, as if she couldn't process the overly complicated information, she could only ask with difficulty, "Mr. Fool, can you show the picture just now to others?"
"of course."
Klein smiled slightly, "I like equivalent exchange, this is the answer you exchanged, and the decision is in your hands."
He wished that others could see this picture, otherwise what if others thought he had killed Ember?Wouldn't the credibility of his 'fool' be severely damaged?
……
The country of silver.
The three of Ember, who had returned from afternoon town, took a rented carriage back to the Kingdom of Silver. The journey was smooth and helpless, but they were stopped by guards when they passed through the city gate.But when the leading city defense captain stepped forward to check, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said in surprise:
"Mr. Ash, why are you?"
"Mr. Wilt."
Ember also looked at him with some doubts, "Aren't you from the city defense team?"
"The city defense team is also rotated."
Wilter Iliad shrugged, glanced at the Alice siblings in the carriage, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, he didn't look carefully last time, but this time he didn't expect the girl to be so beautiful.It's a pity that the last time I saw it was covered with a quilt, I really don't know what kind of delicate body is under the quilt...
It took a long time for Wilt to finally come back to his senses, calm down, and asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, "Where are you from?"
Ember didn't hide anything, and said frankly:
"We just came back from afternoon town."
Wilt showed it clearly that one of the purposes of many foreigners who came to the Silver Country was to go to Afternoon Town.
Because it was the closest place to the Giant King's Court, whenever they wanted to pay their respects to the gods, they would go to Afternoon Town.And the pilgrimage teams of those fanatical believers are even more endless, and can stretch out for more than ten miles.
However, most people will end up disappointed.After all, giant gods live in the Giant King's Court, so how could they easily appear in front of mortals?
"Mr. Ash."
Wilt reminded, "If you want to see the gods, you don't actually have to go to Afternoon Town."
After hearing this, Ember, who was originally indifferent to gods, became interested instead.
Knowing that he is not a local, Wilt explained patiently:
"In three days' time, it will be the birthday of the god. On that day, the Goddess of Harvest will come in person to bless the people of the Silver Kingdom. If you want to pay homage to the god, you might as well wait a few more days."
After a pause, Wirth added, "At that time, there may be more than one god present."
Wilt paused when he said this, as if he didn't want to continue to disclose more information.He also had no intention of continuing the conversation, but quickly waved his hand at the guards behind, motioning for them to let them go.
"In three days is the birthday of God?"
Ember looked sideways at the girl beside her, and asked suddenly.
"uh-huh."
Alice looked at him with a smile, and it took a long time before she said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "I don't even know about this kind of thing. I really don't know which mountain you jumped out of."
Ember ignored her, and cast her eyes on the young man with his head curled up and pretending to be an ostrich:
"Ellen, do you know?"
Allen still looked timid, and whispered back:
"The day of the god's birth is the day when the god was born. Every god has one day as its god's birthday, and the believers of the gods will hold celebrations on this day."
Ember's expression twitched slightly, it was as if you said what you said.
Shaking his head, Ember turned his gaze to Alice again and asked:
"Did you come here specially for the birthday of God?"
Alice showed a smile that seemed to make everything pale, and responded sweetly:
"you guess?"
Ember looked at her blankly and raised her hand at the same time.This made the smile on Alice's face, which was originally smiling like a flower, froze, and she looked at Ember in disbelief, her eyes seemed to say, "Are you not able to afford it?"
Facing the girl's questioning, Ember was going to use practical actions to prove this question:
That's right, he just can't afford it!
Alice was so frightened that her face turned pale, she curled up in a corner, looked like she was being bullied and defiled, and cried:
"Woooooo~ Don't come here! No, don't treat me like this, I'll just say it, and I'll sue you for anything you want to know."
"Actually, if it doesn't work, I can help you with my hands. Please don't do that...at least, at least not here."
"Be normal."
Ember withdrew her hand and said expressionlessly.
"Boring man."
Alice rolled her eyes, and sat back beside Ember again, with an elegant and sweet smile on her face again, and said with a smile, "That's right, Alan and I are here for the birthday of God, after all, this may be The only chance we have in this life to behold the honor of the gods up close. After all, they are gods~"
As Alice said, she couldn't help showing a longing look on her face, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly:
"Omebella, Goddess of Harvest, what a wonderful name! Ash, don't you think so?"
Ember didn't respond to her, but looked thoughtfully at the top of the girl's head, as if she knew something.
And Alice still had a faint smile on her mouth, looking out of the city thoughtfully.Before the Harvest Goddess arrives, she needs to do one more thing, at least she must have the strength to match it.
For example, the barren mistress who was promoted to Sequence 2.
……
Above the gray mist, in the magnificent palace, the Tarot Society almost fell into dead silence for a while.
"Land Abandoned by God?"
'The Hanged Man' Argel asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fool, if I want to know how Mr. 'Lover' can get to the Land Abandoned by God, what price will I have to pay?"
'The Fool' Klein laughed softly:
"This approach doesn't work for anyone other than 'lovers.'"
Other people are not like embers who can 'separate body and soul' without problems, let alone travel through time and space.As long as someone really learns the operation of embers and insists on going through the illusory gate to the location of other members, their soul may survive, but there is no guarantee that there will be no physical problems.
And Klein doesn't want to conduct some dangerous experiments casually to reduce the staff of Tarot. Naturally, he wants to block the possibility of other people's death in advance. Isn't it good to live?
"Doesn't that apply?"
Alger nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he had already discovered Ember's particularity, and he also connected the two at this time.
"Mr. Fool."
Miss 'Justice' asked with some hesitation, "Then, when will Mister 'Lover' come back?"
Klein's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a chuckle:
"It depends on when he wants to come back."
"Sorry, Ember."
Klein silently apologized from the bottom of his heart, after all he didn't know when he would be able to contact Ember.
And at this time, if you can't pretend to be stupid and get over it, then just throw the pot away!
"Mr. Fool!"
Derrick the 'Sun' finally couldn't hold back any longer. With an extremely excited and shocking mood, he couldn't help interjecting and asked, "I want to know where Mr. 'Lover' is in the Land Abandoned by God?"
The other members all set their sights on Derrick, they all knew what Ember's position meant to Derrick——
In the Land Abandoned by God, there is no concept of so-called day at all, everything is shrouded in darkness.And now the embers not only appeared in the Land Abandoned by God, but also during the daytime!This place is worth more to Derrick and to the City of Silver than anything else!
Klein tapped his fingers on the long bronze table, and said calmly:
"The periphery of the Giant's Court."
He didn't know exactly where the embers were, so he could only use 'periphery' to refer to——
After all, there are so many giants in the picture, and that magnificent palace can already be called the royal court of giants.
Derrick stood up excitedly and asked:
"You mean Afternoon Town?"
"Afternoon town?"
The eyes of the 'Hanged Man' flickered, and suddenly asked, "Where is that place?"
"Sorry, I lost my temper."
Derrick calmed down a bit, and explained while sorting out his thoughts, "According to the records of the City of Silver, this was the only way that the Kingdom of Silver had to go to the Giant King's Court, where humans and giants lived together in the town, surrounded by It is like the last gate from the real world to the myths and legends.”
After a pause, Derrick continued, "It's just that although the afternoon town is not far from the City of Silver in the records, we haven't found any trace of its existence for so many years. All the towns we found are only There are no ruins, and there is no town like Afternoon Town that is forever frozen in the afternoon dusk."
"No, maybe you've found it, you just didn't recognize it."
Klein complained in his heart.
The embers are in the past, before the giants were extinct and the cataclysm hadn't happened.At that time, the Giant King was probably still alive, and 'Afternoon Town' was of course still in the state of dusk.But thousands of years have passed, and the dusk of "Afternoon Town" may have already been shrouded in darkness.
"Mr. Fool."
After Derrick finished explaining, he continued to ask in a somewhat apprehensive voice, "I want to know how to get to Afternoon Town, and I'm willing to pay any price for this! No, the City of Silver is willing to pay any price for this!"
Derrick's expression was extremely excited, and he believed that if the elders of the six-member council knew about this matter, they would definitely agree to it!Because in the environment where Derrick lives, the night is the most terrifying existence. Once they leave the City of Silver, they must maintain a state of being illuminated by light at all times. Even if they lose it for a short time, the interval cannot exceed five seconds.
Otherwise, they will completely 'disappear' in the darkness.
Surviving in this environment for thousands of years, 'Daylight' has become a legend in the City of Silver.And if they can live under daylight again, they are willing to give everything for the light of dusk!
"Unfortunately, no."
Klein sighed in his heart, but he still had to maintain a 'fool' posture on his face, so he just shook his head calmly:
"As I said before, this method is only suitable for Mr. 'Lover'."
Derrick froze in place, and sat back down in a daze after a long while.
But at the same time, a question also emerged in other people's minds.
Why only for Embers?
PS: How many people have watched Harvest Night, deduct 1 to make me healthy.
PS: Explain the problem of pulling people.
First of all, before Ke Zong became a Extraordinary, he could draw two, Justice and The Hanged Man.
Ordinary people: 2 places and 2 members.
Secondly, starting from the original text:
Volume 77Chapter [-]:
Moreover, after becoming a "Seer" and gaining extraordinary power, Klein also found that he had a better grasp of that mysterious space. For example, he could draw another member to join the party.
At this time, Ke Zong had just become a Extraordinary.
Sequence 9: 3 places, 2 members.
Volume II Chapter 13:
"But there are certain restrictions. With my current strength, I can at most establish another connection."
At this time, Ke Tuo had just been promoted to Sequence 8, not long after arriving in Backlund.At that time, Xio had already been pulled above the gray mist, but she was not allowed to participate in the Tarot Club, and a "test" was still needed, and she could pull another one at this moment.
Sequence 8: 5 places, 4 members.
Chapter 240, Volume [-]:
"Counting the unburdened ones before, roughly four new members can be recruited, but there is no target for the time being."
At this time, counting the existing justice, the Hanged Man, the sun, the magician, and Hugh who was pulled but not completely pulled, there are already five people.
Sequence 6: 9 places, 5 members.
Summary: Squid is also calculated strictly according to the fact that each sequence can add 2 quotas, and one can be added for promotion and complete digestion of potions.
