Chapter 5 Walking in the dark
Bakerland, East Side.
Not long after returning from the snowy world, Fors, wrapped in thick clothes, looked at the stove burning charcoal in front of him, as if he was trapped in the harsh environment again, and couldn't help but shake a few times:
"George III is dead, and the previous things will definitely come to an end. Maybe we can move out of here, go to the North, and go to the Hillston area.
“The house there has a fireplace!”
Huo sat on the chair opposite, staring at the stove that emitted warmth, and responded with a slightly confused expression:
“Wait for another week or two.
"To be honest, I still can't believe that George III was killed by bombing like this...I haven't had time to do anything."
The bounty hunter, who has become a "judge", has obvious loss, confusion and confusion in his tone, and seems to have lost the motivation of his life.
Fors briefly forgot the harm caused by the cold, and thought about comforting:
"I think this is not what German Sparrow did, but what she used to do with Sherman before. Only they are still investigating George III's secret plot. You have made a certain contribution to George III's death, which is equivalent to indirectly completing revenge.
"Uh... the monitoring and suppression of your family should not be available again. You can try to start a new life. If you have the chance, you may be able to appeal to your father through formal channels."
Hearing the words behind, he lit up his head:
“Yes, the situation is getting more and more chaotic now, and I’m worried that they will be affected by the war.
"Forth, do you think Beckland is safer, or is it safer for ordinary towns not near the border?"
Fors thought about it carefully for a few seconds and shook his head calmly:
"have no idea."
She then added:
"I plan to ask Mr. 'World', he must have a more accurate grasp of the overall situation. Do you remember? He reminded us in advance that something might happen around George III, so try not to get close."
In addition, Forsy also wanted to ask where the next stop of the "travel" is so that he can make some preparations in advance.
"Yeah!" Xiu nodded intuition.
Forth flipped through the newspaper on his knees, drank the remaining coffee, and then slowly got up, entered the room inside, and whispered to Mr. Fool, asking him to pass on his doubts to the "world" German Sparo.
…………
The land of God abandonment, near the "Giant Court".
Klein, who was no longer "parasitic" in deep layers, followed Amon along the foot of the mountain, and in the solidified dusk, he walked around the front of this mythical land.
Although Amon gave him a chance to try his best to escape, he was not in a hurry because he knew very well that Amon now has at least Sequence 2 person and strength, and is a real angel, not something he can compete with. Moreover, the "thief" claims to be a mistake, a loophole, a bug, and a strange ability, which makes people unable to defend against. Klein believes that the self-rescue method he can think of normally cannot be effective.
I can only stay patient and wait for the opportunity to be used... In this process, I kept trying to observe Amon's response... Well, I have to pay attention to one problem. I cannot trust Amon's words too much. He may not lie when he has recovered the "worm of time" and relieved my "parasitic" state, but this may not be the whole truth. It is not ruled out that He left a "worm of time" lurking in my body and taking over my body at a critical moment... Klein was about to "chat" with Amon and asked Amon about the "dark angel" Sasrial, but he saw that the dusk disappeared not far away, darkness was shrouded in the air from time to time.
They arrived at the border of the "Giant Royal Court" and were about to leave this mythical kingdom.
Once in the darkness here, it either evaporates out of thin air or is attacked by a terrible monster suddenly... Klein's heart moved, pretending to know nothing, and continued to move forward like that, from the orange dusk to the deep darkness.
At this moment, Amon, wearing a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat, and monocle glasses, stretched out his hand and pulled back a lantern covered with thin animal skin.
Inside the lantern, a piece of candle made of unknown oil emitted a dim light and a slightly pungent smell.
"Hold it." Amon threw the lantern to Klein.
...Klein caught the lantern and was silent.
A few seconds later, he asked tentatively:
“Where did this get it?”
At that moment just now, Klein thought Amon could summon projections from the pores of history.
Amon pinched the crystal-carved monocle glasses and said with a smile:
"It was stolen from the human camp in front, oh, that was the afternoon town camp in Silver City."
The stolen... Klein's eyelids twitched slightly, and he didn't ask any more questions. He walked into the darkness that could not be seen at the end with the lantern.
The dim light spreads out like an invisible defensive barrier, creating a warm place in the dark night.
At this time, lightning flashes across the sky one after another, with a very long interval, with almost no thunder, and occasionally a sound came out.
According to common sense that Klein learned from the little "Sun", this night belongs to the abandoned land of God and is the most dangerous time.
As he moved forward step by step, Klein first used the "faceless man" ability after qualitative change, combined with "warm hunger", to adjust the structure of his eyes to adapt to this special environment, and then, with the help of inspiration, examined the surroundings.
He felt that in the darkness, there were eyes staring at his own eyes and creatures that were difficult to describe their bodies, but whenever lightning flashed and shone through those places, there was nothing.
Klein was not worried about using "squirming hunger" all the time, but he couldn't eat in the current environment, which would cause any serious backlash. In his opinion, there were only two results. One was "squirming hunger" trying to swallow himself, but Amon stole the idea. The other was that "squirming hunger" successfully swallowed the wearer, and he used it to be reborn and got rid of the current predicament. The latter was what Klein expected. The former would be more confused except for "squirming hunger" and would have no loss.
After moving forward for a while, Klein saw the Baiyin Town Camp built with abandoned buildings.
Behind the huge rocks and the barriers surrounded by stone pillars, the bonfire burned quietly, illuminating most of the inside and making them completely different from the outside world.
In the illumination of this light, the members of the Silver City Exploration Team were patrolling or guarding to prevent accidents.
Among them, a "Dawn Knight" who is nearly two meters tall is standing on the barrier, looking into the distance, guarding against monsters hiding in the darkness.
Suddenly, he saw a dim light of fire coming from a distance in the depths of the darkness.
This... the pupils of the "Dawn Knight" suddenly dilated, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Except for the newborn and uneducated children, everyone in the Silver City knows that in this land abandoned by God, no one except humans will use flames to create light in the dark. Even monsters who are good at controlling flames are lurking in the lightless environment before launching an attack. As for other humans, all the city-states discovered in Silver City have long been destroyed and become relics, with no survivors. The only outsider they have seen is the strange child Jack.
At this moment, a fire appeared in the depths of the darkness, a constant moving fire!
What does this mean? The "Dawn Knight" standing above the barrier could hardly be imagined for a moment, and she felt her body trembling slightly.
The dim flames slowly passed from far and near, passing in front of the camp and heading outside the town in the afternoon. In a vague way, the "Dawn Knight" saw two figures belonging to humans, walking in the depths of the darkness, illuminated by the light.
They carried things that were suspected to be lanterns, and walked away from the camp step by step, disappearing into endless darkness.
The "Knight of Dawn" above the barrier had held his breath at some point until the dim flame disappeared.
There are other humans? No, it is not necessarily humans! The "Knight of Dawn"'s eyes shrank, and he carefully turned his body, preparing to notify the elder of the "Six-Person Representative Group" who presided over the camp.
At this moment, he found that one lantern hanging on the stone pillars was missing.
The body of the "Dawn Knight" suddenly stiffened, and cold sweat emerged from behind his forehead.
…………
As he moved away from the afternoon town step by step, Klein was under the gaze of his eyes in the depths of the darkness, quietly using the abilities of the "ancient scholar" and his own connection with the "source castle", sensing the gray and white fog intertwined by history.
He succeeded.
This proves that the "God's Abandoned Land" is not separated from the "Source Castle".
The sanctuary of the "true Creator" and even the Kingdom of God are on this land... If I trigger the "source castle" and create an abnormality, will it make Him watch and conflict with Amon... He is the true God. I don't expect to escape in the chaos, but I can seize His opportunity to deal with Amon to commit suicide... Klein's thoughts will make the "source castle" tremble slightly.
The next second, his thought disappeared.
Amon, who was walking next to him, said with a slightly raised mouth:
"The 'Hangered Man' is not interested in the 'Source Castle'. Of course, his reason may not always be in his mind."
"'Hangered Man' refers to the sequence 0 of the 'Shepherd' path?" Klein himself did not expect the impulse just now to be truly successful. He mainly wanted to try Amon's reaction and see his response. At this time, there was no frustration and asked the question without concealing his curiosity.
Amon nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, this symbolizes the degenerate nature, of course, if you want to explain it in a positive sense, it is sacrifice and responsibility."
Klein thought for a while and said tentatively:
"I thought this was your nickname."
Just like Medic.
As far as Klein knows, the birth of the "real creator" due to the "Redification Rose", is likely to be related to the fall of the ancient sun god, so he wonders what kind of attitude Amon has towards this evil god and whether he is the same as his brother.
Amon stroked his monocle glasses and laughed:
“I have always respected the gods.”
It was really inconsistent to say "Blasphemer"... Klein had no choice but to stop the topic.
