Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 299 You Are Lucky

The land abandoned by the gods, the town camp in the afternoon.

In the camp made up of countless boulders with the first batch of lanterns hung on them, the residents of the City of Silver watched the two outsiders leave, just as they had when they came.

The bright day-like helmet was also taken away, and the light gradually faded away, as if hope was also taken away together.

Dolores couldn't help asking:
"Chief, since they are also going to explore the Giant King's Court, why don't you act with them?"

He once participated in exploring the temple of the real creator, and met the little boy named Jack.So he knows better than other people in the City of Silver that the world outside the Land Abandoned by God really exists!

And the way to leave the Land Abandoned by God is likely to be in the Giant King's Court!
The chief must also understand this truth, otherwise he would not have led them to establish this camp.

Isn't the establishment of the Afternoon Town camp just to explore the Afternoon Town and prepare for the next step to explore the Giant King's Court?
Colin stared at the fading light, and said in a low voice:

"If I leave with them, who will guarantee the safety of this camp?"

"I can't risk your lives."

Dolores said without hesitation:
"Then I'll go with them! If I don't come back, treat me as dead. But if I come back alive, maybe I can find a way to leave!"

'Demon Hunter' Colin still rejected him mercilessly:

"No, don't mention this matter again, go to patrol."

Dolores gritted her teeth, obviously unwilling.

But facing the chief's decisive attitude, he could only obey and turn around to leave.

Colin was still looking at the light in the distance with inexplicable eyes.

What Dolores doesn't understand is that Colin isn't unacceptable to take risks.

He was willing to make various attempts to leave the Land Abandoned by God, so he let go of many things. Whether it was Derrick or Lovia, they were all different directions that the City of Silver tried, and they all represented a possibility.

But no matter where these two may go, they are always from the City of Silver.Even though their respective attempts have failed, Colin believes that in their hearts, the future of the City of Silver will always come first.

But this time is different, even though this may be the closest to hope, because they actually saw outsiders, and one of them was even a giant.But at the same time, this may also be the closest to destruction.

He couldn't be sure if the two outsiders were friendly. Even though they tried their best to express their kindness in the conversation, Colin couldn't be sure if they were really as friendly as they appeared on the surface, or if they had evil intentions.

If it's the former, it would be a pity to miss this opportunity to explore the giant court with them.

But if they really want to explore the giant royal court, in a sense, it can also provide some convenience for the next exploration of the City of Silver.After all, in the process of their exploration, they are bound to encounter obstacles from many monsters.

And if they want to move on, they must destroy these monsters.

This will make the follow-up exploration of the City of Silver much easier.

But if these two people harbor evil intentions, then those who welcome them, and those who welcome the City of Silver, will be doomed!
Dolores is only the Dawn Knight of Sequence 6, and he knows very limited things.

So he didn't understand why Colin didn't let him and the two outsiders explore the Giant King's Court together. In his eyes, even if the exploration failed, he would only sacrifice himself at most.

But Colin is very clear that there are some special pathways in this world that can explore human memory, such as the dragon pathway.

Although the City of Silver only has potion formulas with low-sequence dragon pathways, the "psychoanalyst" of Sequence 7 alone already has the ability to read minds and hypnotize!
Once any one of them is alone, they may be captured by the other party, and then the other party will probe their memory and find the location of Silver City.And once the coordinates of the City of Silver are exposed, those people with ulterior motives will be far more terrifying than the monsters in the dark!
Colin couldn't take such a risk.

The kindness shown by the other party in this brief contact is not enough for Colin to put enough trust in them.
-
Not long after leaving the Afternoon Town camp in the City of Silver, under the light of high-altitude lightning.

A city finally appeared in Ember and Grossel's sight.

One is built against the mountain and is naturally divided into upper, middle and lower floors.Here, the gray stones are built into different houses, some are hollowed out in one piece, close to ten meters, and some are so small that normal humans can touch the roof.These buildings are compactly arranged and spread out. Some of them have collapsed, while others are still strong, but they are all stained with signs of decay.

"Afternoon Town."

Grossel looked at the town in the distance, trying to find the corresponding scene in his memory, and murmured:
"It wasn't like this when I was here last time."

"Affected by the power leaked from the royal court of giants, the daytime in Afternoon Town will always be 'afternoon'..."

Grossel's tone was extremely complicated, and a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Even though a thousand years have passed, everything here is so familiar to him.

Even though he had already heard about the final outcome of the King's Court of Giants and the Land Abandoned by the Gods from other people, he still couldn't hide his disappointment when he saw the familiar town turn into what it is now.

And when he followed the embers into Afternoon Town, along the steps paved with gray stones, among tall and dark buildings, towards the peak, Grossel's mood became more and more depressed.

For at last he saw giants—giants in great numbers.

They are all about the same height as Grossel, with unique monocular eyes.It's just different from Grossel with gray-blue skin, these giants are covered with dense black short hair!

They have long since corrupted and become part of this myriad of dark monsters.

Even though Grossel thought he was already mentally prepared, when he saw this scene, there was still an indescribable sadness welling up in his heart.

Thumb up!From those dark buildings, similar monsters rushed out one after another.

Some of them belonged to normal human beings with two eyes, and some had the same giant height and one-eyed features as the previous monsters, but they were covered with dense black short hair without exception.

"Sorry, rest in peace."

Grossel murmured softly, spots of light erupted from his body, and they turned into storms, sweeping around.

All the monsters touched by the light spots, whether they were giants or humans, all had transparent flames ignited on their bodies, emitting a bright morning light, burning everything up.

Just like human beings, the giant family also pays attention to burial.

This tradition originated from the giant king Almir, whose parents were buried in the decaying forest, and Grossel was once the guardian of the decaying forest.

But now there is no condition to bury these giants one by one, even if they are buried, they may become new monsters.

So Grossel will not force it, purifying the bodies of these giants is the only thing he can do.

Ember stood aside and watched all this silently, without trying to intervene.

For Grossell, it was not only about clearing the way for their progress, but also about giving his compatriots rest in peace.

Yes, for Grossel, these monsters are also his compatriots.Even if they have become monsters, even if they have been dead for thousands of years.

Although Grossel has always been careless, as if he doesn't care about anything, his heart is actually as lonely as Siatas.

For these two 'ancients' who have lived from the second era to the present, they have a serious lack of belonging to the present world.Shatas is trying to find her people, so why isn't Groselle?

The reason why he agreed to Ember to help him explore the Giant King's Court was because he had a glimmer of hope that he could find other giants in the Giant King's Court?
Along the way, they encountered more than a dozen waves of monsters, mainly rotten giants, and the number of each wave was at least over a hundred.And the more this happened, the more intense Grossel's sadness became.

Because thousands of polluted monsters correspond to thousands of giants who used to live here!
Walking halfway up the mountain, perhaps because there are not too many 'aboriginals' here, the frequency of monster attacks began to decrease.

And they finally came to the area shrouded in dusk——

The huge towering building stood quietly in the solidified dusk, without any sound around it, as if it was just an oil painting, a magnificent oil painting with a strong sense of epic.

In the frozen dusk, a new hope emerged in Grossel's heart again.

The monsters in Land Abandoned by God originated from that deep darkness.

But thousands of years have passed, and the giant king's court is still frozen in the dusk.

Does this mean...

"Maybe there are still living giants in the Giant King's Court?"

As soon as such a thought appeared in his mind, Grossel was once again splashed with cold water by reality.

Because in that frozen dusk, those rotting monsters rushed out of those buildings that were still intact.They are irrational, they just instinctively rushed towards them after seeing living people.

Seeing that Grossel, who had dealt with another wave of rotten giants, became more silent, Ember asked with concern:

"Are you ok?"

Grossel was silent for a while, and then showed a familiar simple and honest smile:
"Fortunately, I thought it would be like this."

Ember thought for a while, and said:

"This reminds me of Arnoel Londe. You can understand it as the giant royal court in another world."

"In the eyes of mortals, Anor Londo is the royal city, the capital of the gods, and the place where the gods reside."

"The protoss who rule the world are tall, but much shorter than giants, about [-] meters."

"The Protoss once defeated the ancient dragon who was the ruler of the world in the ancient dragon hunting war, and became the new ruler."

Having said that, Ember suddenly paused.

"and after?"

Grossel subconsciously asked.

Ember chuckled lightly, shook her head and said:
"Later the Protoss fell, and the God King who led the Protoss to glory used his body to feed the fire. The new ruler didn't understand people's hearts, and squeezed out the old subordinates left by his father, which made the Protoss' hearts slackened."

"In addition, other protoss were not willing to be informed by him. After the death of the old god king, they left Anor Londo and went to various parts of the world to establish kingdoms and rule mortals."

"As for Yanor Londo, although the symbolic significance of being the capital of the Protoss is still there, it no longer has the status it once had."

"Even Gwyndolin, who ruled the gods for countless years and was the appointed heir of the old god king, was imprisoned by a plant and swallowed by a puddle of mud."

"By the time of the end of the world, the Protoss who once ruled the world will not even have a few living people left."

"And the protoss who survived are also those who were once exiled by the protoss."

"Compared to the Protoss, the Giants are lucky enough."

"At least not all giants perish together with the Giant King's Court. There are still quite a few giant bloodlines left in the Northern Continent."

Grossel scratched his head, he stayed in Backlund for a while.

I heard rumors about the Fusac Empire in the north——

The people there call themselves the descendants of giants, and the real giants enjoy a high status there.

Even the God of War they believe in, the Great Hall of the Kingdom of God at Dusk seems to be a building prepared for giants.The god of war may be a giant himself, and there may be a large number of giants living in his divine country.

Grossel thought for a moment, and said seriously:
"Back to the Northern Continent, I want to go to the Feysac Empire."

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the people there really had the blood of giants, whether there were really living giants.

Ember smiled and said:

"This is your freedom."

As they moved forward, or wandering on the road, or rushing out of different buildings, there were more and more rotten giants, and they became stronger and stronger, but there was still no level above demigod.

This allowed them to easily break through the blockade and obstruction of these monsters, and came to an area that was extremely quiet, without any sound, and made people's scalp tingle.

Grossel hummed:
"I know how to go, come with me."

Grossel recalled the memory in his mind, and continued along the street that was somewhat dilapidated but still familiar.

After a while, a huge stone staircase appeared in front of them.

It is off-white as a whole, but it is dyed with orange light, which is both gorgeous and silent.

Each floor of this ladder is relatively high, obviously not for ordinary people.

On the huge staircase, there is a city wall so majestic that you have to look up to see it. There are many traces of destruction and burning on it. In some places, arrows that are as thick as ordinary trees and several meters long are inserted, causing some stones to collapse. down.

In the middle of the city wall is a double door that is tens of meters high. Its color is more grayish blue, and there are golden nails inlaid on it. There are two guards outside who can create a strong sense of oppression just by looking at it. .

They are five or six meters tall, wearing exquisite and sturdy silver full-body armor, one holding a big sword, and the other smashing a huge ax to the ground, each with an orange-red light behind the visor, like a single eye.

Grossel looked at the towering city wall with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

Even for giants, this is not an area that can easily set foot.

Fortunately, Grosser's responsibilities allow him to be in and out of here often.
