Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 493 Communication
".misfortune?"

Derrick looked at the afternoon town in front of him with confusion. He didn't see anything strange. It looked no different from the dilapidated towns he had explored before, and he didn't feel any unusual atmosphere.

Before he could retract his gaze, the dilapidated ruins in front of him were pulled down like a dark and decaying curtain, revealing the bustling "Afternoon Town" behind it shrouded in dim light.

"This"

"This is?"

"Is this what the general textbook describes as 'daytime'?"

The sudden change in front of them triggered a discussion among the Silver City exploration team. As they spoke, they also tightened the weapons in their hands, watching the changes ahead with vigilance, and watching the people standing on the edge of the street in "Afternoon Town". That figure was wearing strange clothes and had a relatively short stature. Of course, this was just the short stature in the eyes of everyone in Silver City.

The next moment, they saw the man standing on the edge of "Afternoon Town" speak. The man spoke a language they didn't understand, but he could make them understand what he wanted to express:
"Fortunately, I prepared some spells to understand the language in advance."

"My experiments seem to have affected your exploration?"

"I'm very sorry. I will remove this illusion when I have perfected it. Well, if possible, can I ask you to provide some help. I don't know much about the past of this continent. The illusion I created is also There are many loopholes for which I can pay you, the information you need, or potion ingredients and recipes.”

Colin, who is the chief of Silver City and the leader of this exploration team, did not reply immediately. He knew clearly that some monsters could create horrific effects through twisted language.

The members of the exploration team standing behind Colin also looked at the sudden appearance of this strange man with vigilance. For a moment, except for the sound of lightning in the sky, there was no sound.

Derrick, who was standing in the center of the exploration team, frowned slightly and looked at the figure standing on the edge of Afternoon Town. He always felt that the other person was somewhat familiar.

Have I seen him? Impossible, I don’t know anyone outside of Silver City at all, and he is definitely not from Silver City, so such a height is impossible.

Seeing that no one spoke, Renekton sighed helplessly and waved behind him. A crystal ball with twinkling stars inside flew into his hand.

The starlight in the crystal ball quickly converged, and the "Afternoon Town" that was originally shrouded in the light of dusk quickly lost its color, became withered, dilapidated, and lost its vitality. The buildings also collapsed and returned to their original appearance.

After lifting the illusion that enveloped Afternoon Town, Renekton looked across at Silver City Chief Colin Iliad, who was standing at the front with gray hair and heavy decree lines. He smiled and said:

"Can you communicate with me now? As a 'demon hunter', you should be able to easily tell whether I have malicious intentions."

"Besides, I'm stronger than all of you here combined, aren't I? You have no room to resist whatever I want to do to you. 'Titans' above sequence five are just more resistant to beatings."

Perhaps it was Renekton's too straightforward words that made everyone in the Silver City exploration team look unhappy.

Derrick, who holds the Hurricane Ax in his hand, has two miniature suns "contained" in his eyes. His vision is particularly clear in the dark environment.

Opposite him, Renekton, standing on the edge of the street in Afternoon Town, holding a crystal ball emitting light blue fluorescence, always gave him a familiar feeling. In his mind, the figures of the Tarot Club members emerged one by one. After that, we finally stopped at the 'White Tower'.

Really similar! Mr. "White Tower" has come to the land abandoned by God? But I haven't heard him mention it. Should I ask the other party now, or should I wait until the next tarot meeting to confirm with Mr. "White Tower"?
While Derrick was thinking, Chief Colin, who was standing at the front, had already spoken in a deep voice:

"Are you from the outside world?"

Renekton nodded calmly and said:

"Yes, on the sea to the west of the Giant King's Court, there is a sea of ​​ruins where the ruins of the God War have evolved. From there, you can enter the Land Abandoned by the Gods."

".A place abandoned by God?" Colin murmured in a deep voice, and then asked:
"In other words, as long as you cross the Giant King's Court, you can leave here through the sea of ​​ruins and enter the outside world?"

All the members of the Silver City exploration team looked at Renekton, with some expectation in their eyes. Even if they didn't believe this sudden appearance, they already wanted to get a definite answer. At least, it showed that their efforts were right.

Renekton shook his head lightly and said:
"No, it's one-way. You can only enter, not go out."

Colin had no expression on his face. He just tightened his right hand holding the straight sword tightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Then you don't plan to leave?"

"Being an angel, I naturally have the ability to leave here, make mistakes, and take advantage of mistakes. Amon is not the only one who can do this."

After a pause, without giving Colin a chance to continue asking questions, Renekton continued:

"You want to ask if there is a way to get the entire Silver City out of the land abandoned by the gods?"

"Of course there is, it's in the place you plan to explore, but with your Silver City's current strength, it's not enough to explore there."

The face of Chief Colin of Silver City suddenly became serious. The straight sword he held tightly in his hand reflected a sharp light like the dawn piercing the darkness. His eyes were tightly locked on Renekton. If anything went wrong, he would Take action directly, even if the other party shows no direct malice, even if the other party is probably stronger than you.

"Are you Mr. White Tower?" Behind Colin, Derrick suddenly asked loudly. His voice was a little nervous and still had the childishness of a boy who had not completely shed it.

Renekton looked past Colin and locked onto Derrick, who was in the center of the crowd behind him. He had brown hair and was tall, nearly 1 meters tall.

His eyes stayed on Derrick for a while, and Renekton suddenly chuckled:

"Congratulations, you got the answer right! But there is no reward." Derrick didn't pay attention to the vigilance of the members of the surrounding exploration team and the sudden distance between him. He looked at Renekton with some doubts and asked curiously:
"Mr. White Tower, why did you come to the Land Abandoned by the Gods?"

"Looking for opportunities to be promoted to 'Sage', and also looking for some high-level characteristics of the 'Perfection' path. In the outside world, most of the characteristics of this path are controlled by the Church of Steam. I can only put my hope here, isolated from the outside world. ”

Renekton briefly explained, looked at Colin who was still wary of him, chuckled and said:

"I have cleaned up the remaining monsters in the town this afternoon. If you are not afraid of me, you can stay inside or explore. At least it is much safer than sleeping in the wilderness."

"I won't stay here for long. I will leave when I complete the illusion."

After speaking, Renekton turned around and walked deeper into Afternoon Town before anyone in Silver City could give a reply.

Colin kept staring at Renekton's back until he completely disappeared from his sight, then he turned to look at Derrick, who was surrounded by the exploration team vigilantly.

Looking at Derrick who looked a little flustered and at a loss due to everyone's isolation and vigilance, Colin sighed softly and said in a deep voice:

"Derrick, how much do you know about Mr. White Tower? Do you think he will pose a danger to us and Silver City?"

"Your Excellency, I."

Derrick lowered his head, as if he was struggling with how to answer.

After pondering for a moment, he recounted the information that did not involve Mr. Fool, and finally described his observations and understanding of the "White Tower" during the Tarot meeting.

Colin nodded lightly and said without much hesitation:

"Let's go into Afternoon Town and continue this exploration mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and entered the afternoon town.

Walking on the dilapidated and decaying streets, he was alert to his surroundings and explained in a hoarse voice:
"A saint who is preparing to be promoted to an angel must have corresponding characteristics. Whether it exists in the form of a magical item or a polymerized characteristic, this means that to some extent, he can temporarily perform the role of an angel. The power of layers.”

"Just like what Mr. White Tower said, he is more powerful than our exploration team combined. Before he shows any malicious intent, we can believe him for the time being. Of course, we cannot let go of our due vigilance. ”

"Don't leave the team during this period, you can slow down the exploration speed."

After walking on the streets of the afternoon town for a long time, they did not encounter any monster attacks. It seemed that the monsters in this area had really been cleared away.

A ray of silver lightning flashed across, and stars suddenly flashed around, becoming more and more dense, swimming around with a strange rhythm, and outlining light blue lines around the abandoned afternoon town.

Under the alert and uneasy gazes of everyone in Silver City, the starlight gradually became bright and hazy, and soon reflected the colors of dusk. The originally dilapidated and stale afternoon town became brand new and lively at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There were tall and shadowy figures appearing on the surrounding streets. Their faces and clothes were blurred, and the items sold by the surrounding shops and vendors were also clear and blurry.

As everyone in Silver City looked at it, the blurred areas around them gradually became clearer, becoming closer to the images that subconsciously flashed and completed in their minds.

Colin's eyes darkened, and he had noticed these changes around him from the beginning.

He looked around, then took out a bottle of light green ointment from the belt divided into many small compartments around his waist, and applied it to the straight sword.

The silver-white sharp straight sword was inserted into the street paved with gray and white stones under his feet. The silver-white light burst out like the morning sun, sweeping away the surrounding streets, houses, and people one by one.

Everywhere swept by the morning light revealed a cold and indifferent eye containing countless stars.

These cold eyes stared at the people in Silver City without a trace of emotion, as if they could reflect what they were really thinking in their hearts.

"What is this? The person who just stayed to monitor us and influence us?"

"These eyes are so evil, I feel like they can see through me."

Beside Derrick, several members of the exploration team couldn't help but discuss aloud.

Chief Colin, who was walking at the front, raised his free left hand. After everyone in the team quieted down, he said in a deep voice:

"Similar to the ability of a psychoanalyst, we can see clearly what is in our hearts and use it to perfect the people and objects in this illusion."

"It seems that he is indeed not from this place. Otherwise, if you read some books that have been handed down, you can restore many details that are not in this illusion."

Looking around the bustling streets, he continued:

"This illusion is half true and half false. It is different from the illusions created by ordinary monsters. When you are here, these lights are real. You don't have to worry about attacks from monsters in the dark, and you don't have to worry about suddenly disappearing into the darkness."

"Judging from the coverage of this illusion, a large city can be built here to protect human beings from surviving in the long darkness."
