Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 200 Pilgrimage Mural

464
The team of crew members walked slowly in the dark, stepping on the watery ground, the sound of their footsteps being drowned out by the sound of rain.

There are many man-made buildings on the island. When they disembarked, they used the ruins of these buildings as road signs, but now all these things have been swallowed up by darkness. The island has nothing but the sound of rain, just like walking in the deepest ocean.

There is only bottomless darkness in front of and around, no hope, no direction to see, and the only light in his hand is burning slowly.

Kirchies became more and more anxious. From leaving the rain shelter to now, the journey must have exceeded 35 minutes, but his spiritual perception told him that he had not yet entered the spiritual observation range of the "Death Ship"!
Either they're going in the wrong direction, or they've been going in circles!
"Compass! Who brought a compass or a compass!" He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roared in a low voice, "We lost our way, and we all have to die here!"

The team stopped, pirates, you look at me, I look at you, the last person showed a compass with a broken mirror in his hand:

"We've been heading in the direction of the Death, Second Officer!"

The red and blue needles of the compass shook slightly. Gilcies grabbed it and changed the angle several times. The needles all pointed firmly in one direction, and it seemed that they were not damaged.

He couldn't tell if the compass was pointing correctly: "Then why hasn't it arrived yet?!"

"No, I don't know..." The seasoned sailor holding the compass lowered his head in fear, "Maybe it's because there's been thunder? Thunder and lightning will affect the compass..."

Kirchies' eyes were red: "You don't need to talk about this kind of thing! I just want to know if the compass is still useful now?!"

"But, maybe... no..."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?!" Kirchies lost control of his emotions at this moment, and he roared, "You wasted 10 minutes of lamp oil, and I will peel your skin right now! I will kill you Boil it into lamp oil!"

Everyone was silent, and Anderson couldn't help but say:
"It's raining too much now, and I'm all wet. Don't look at me with that kind of eyes. I mean, people who are wet can't make lamp oil. It's a waste of time to dry it. Maybe there are other uses for it."

It wasn't a mindless pleading, but a rational analysis of the pros and cons. Kirchies was persuaded by this reason, and he slowly let go of his fist, a faint blue flame flashed in his hand.He glanced at the sailor coldly, already making him into steaming broth and lamp oil in his heart.

The sailor lowered his head, his body trembling violently, and he dared not speak any more.

The others around him silently moved away from him, pushing him to the periphery where the adventurers were.

"What should we do now?"

The faces of the adventurers were also stern. One of them, a man wearing glasses, said, "I did a divination. If you have completely lost your way, you can choose to follow the direction of the divination."

Kirchies frowned: "What path are you?"

The man with glasses replied: "Mystery peeper. An occultist who has certain divination skills."

"What's your divination question?"

"...Go to the direction of the safe area." The mystic said calmly, "Divination can only do multiple-choice questions, and cannot indicate the direction. At present, it implies that I am going straight ahead. Another thing is that the 'Death' is beyond the My divination ability has been compromised, so the 'safe place' may not necessarily be the place where the 'Death' is."

"Why don't you read the port of call of the 'Death'?"

"This island has more than one port, and the one that is docked cannot be divined because of the existence of the 'Death' itself."

Anderson rushed ahead of Kirchies and said:
"The compass fails and the port cannot be found. In other words, we actually have no choice now?"

The man with glasses nodded solemnly.

"Let's go." Anderson nodded, with a relaxed tone, "After walking for 5 minutes, I will re-divinate the direction. The top of the lamp will burn for more than half an hour, and my spirituality will also consume a lot. I hope to reach that safe place before it is completely extinguished." place!"

So they began to rearrange their formation, and moved on slowly.

……

The city of generosity, Bayam.

After sending the fat pharmacist away, Klein returned to Bayam to prevent encountering the unidentified Aurora Order powerhouse while holding the "All Black Eye".

Now, he was sitting at the desk in the hotel, with the brown letter paper spread out and the dark red absorbent pen rustling away.

Klein first cared about Mr. Azik's recent situation, and then mentioned that when he was looking for a magical item that could steal other people's extraordinary abilities, he found that someone was parasitized by an outsider.

Then, he asked casually if there was a way to bypass the parasitic outsider and alert the host.

Using this excuse, he also said that he knew from others the "Insect of Time" related to the high level of the "Thief" pathway, and figured out that this kind of thing can be used as a sacrifice for important rituals and materials for high-level spells. But I don't know exactly what to do.

Phew... Klein put down the pen, folded the letter paper, took out the copper whistle, brought it to his mouth, and blew hard.

The black-haired snake-tailed demigod appeared as usual, but this time there were a few brightly colored feather ornaments on his body, which made Klein couldn't help but take a second look.

He handed the letter over, the demigod took it, and then disappeared in place.

After finishing all this, Klein did not unfold the thousand paper cranes, and asked "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin with the same content.

This is because he discovered something not so good. The paper crane is not a magical item or a extraordinary weapon, but it is folded from an ordinary piece of paper. After repeated rubbing with an eraser, it has shown signs of weakness. Once, maybe it will be broken directly.

"It's better to wait until there are very important matters to be contacted before considering it. For example, Mr. Azik doesn't know how to bypass the possessed grandfather to remind Leonard..." Klein shook his head silently, and quickly packed the items on the table.

"Be a tourist today, relax, and start looking for opportunities to act in real life tomorrow!" Klein restrained his thoughts, put on his coat, took off his top hat, and walked out of the hotel room.

He's going to watch the sunset on the hill outside the port of Oravi!
This idea originated from a best-selling novel. Its author was Leon Mustang, who was born in Oravi and settled in Backlund after he was 20 years old. In the book, this gentleman introduced Bayam’s Port St. The sunset over Mount Draco, thinking it was the most beautiful scenery he had seen so far.

Klein rode out of the city in a carriage, walked to the foot of San Draco Mountain, and climbed this low mountain in only one hour.

The port is located on a higher terrain, so it did not suffer much damage from the previous tsunami

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sun gradually set, dyeing the blue ocean on the left side of the mountain like a fire, and covering the green woods and vast fields on the right with a piece of gold.

All the colors bloomed their final brilliance at this moment, and then gradually dimmed until they became dark.

Ships enter, carriages enter the city, and busy people return home one after another along the road beside the wheat field or orchard.

When the darkness began to cover the land, a little bit of warm light lit up inside and outside the city one after another, they were like bright gems on black velvet.

It's really beautiful... Klein admired it for a moment, until the lights representing each family caught his eyes.

He turned around in silence, walked along the mountain road, surrounded by black-stained trees, returned to the bottom, then walked a certain distance, and hired a carriage at the edge of the port city.

The carriage moved forward steadily, and the iron-black and elegant street light poles quietly retreated and moved away under the dim yellow light.

After an unknown amount of time, Klein returned to the hotel, took out the key, and opened the door.

Inside the room, the bed, desk, and chairs all lay quietly in the thick darkness, silently reflecting some crimson moonlight.

Klein closed the door slightly, walked to the window, and stood in the shadow caused by the curtain, not moving for a long time.

It was brightly lit outside.

The occultist kept changing his face, using divination to find the right direction. Behind him, the lamp in Kirchies' hand was already crumbling, and Anderson's face became extremely pale.

The tallest person in the adventurer team walked up silently and took Anderson's place.

A white light like the morning sun radiated from his body, controlled at a size just enough to cover the front of the team.

Sequence 6 of the Warrior Path, a "Dawn Knight"!With the Warrior Path's excellent combat skills and special attacks against various monsters, even Kirchies would not fight him rashly. He was the reason why the pirates who had the upper hand did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing the light, the adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, but the demon sailors had to move back a little to avoid entering the range of the morning light.

In fact, this light doesn't do much real damage, but it will still be instinctively resisted by evil creatures.

"Damn it, damn it! How far is it?!"

This was the fourth time he stopped, which meant that about 10 minutes had passed, and the time before the oil lamp was extinguished was getting closer, and Gilchies became more and more irritable.

What makes him most irritable is this soldier!Thinking that after the kerosene lamp was extinguished, he and the others would be swallowed by darkness, while these adventurers could rely on mystics and warriors to survive and even find a safe place, Gilcies felt worse than death!

"Pendulum divination can't directly predict a specific distance..." The mystic was already in a cold sweat.

"Shut up! I know!"

This was the first time he had yelled countless times. Anyone with a discerning eye could feel that the second officer's mood was abnormal, and his spirit was also abnormal, as if he had reached the verge of collapse.

Because of this, no one dared to remind him, for fear of stimulating him out of control on the spot.

As we walked, an adventurer suddenly disappeared in place, and everyone, like a frightened bird, immediately focused their attention there and made preparations in an instant.The next second, the adventurer appeared again, but was startled by everyone's vigilant and vicious eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked helplessly.

"You disappeared just now." The Dawn Knight said in a deep voice, his hand already touching the wooden sword at his waist.

He immediately understood his current situation, and quickly shouted: "I'm normal! I haven't turned into a monster! Look, I'm still standing in the morning light, I'm normal!"

While speaking, he felt a tingling pain in his wrist, and subconsciously hid behind him, but the sharp-eyed Kirchies grabbed him and pulled his hand into everyone's eyes.

Another fresh bloodstain on his wrist!
The crew all thought of the layer of skin that disappeared before, and quickly asked the injured pirates to compare. The positions of the cut marks on the wrists of the two were exactly the same!

"I'm not a monster!" the adventurer yelled in panic, "I'm not a monster, I'm just hurt in the dark—"

boom!
Before he could finish his sentence, Gilcies kicked him out of the area covered by light.

The body of the adventurer melted into the darkness together with the sound, and there was no sound of landing, just like that, he disappeared from the world.

Everyone looked at the place where the adventurer disappeared in front of them as if facing an enemy. No one noticed that a black object with long hands suddenly sprang out from the darkness behind it, instantly wrapped a pirate on the edge, and dragged him into the darkness. inside!

After about a second, the pirate returned to the team intact.

The adventurers were somewhat dissatisfied with Kirchies' behavior, but no one was born to blame.After dozens of seconds, the team began to move forward slowly again.

Snapped.

The pirate walking at the end turned his head suddenly, he suspected he heard footsteps.But there was nothing but darkness behind him.

After walking dully for a while, a few people who were holding wooden boards to keep out the rain suddenly said in pleasant surprise:
"The rain has stopped!"

Everyone was refreshed, and Anderson hurriedly threw a fire crow back, and saw the fire crow smoothly pass through the gap between the heads of the crowd and the boards, and then was wet by the rain at the edge of the light, amidst the sound of barking went out.

"It's not that the rain stopped, it's that we entered a shelter from the rain!" Anderson's tone suddenly became lively, and everyone looked happy.

The huge wooden plank was lowered, and one of the people turned the wooden plank sideways, trying to stretch it in the surrounding direction, only heard a soft "click", and the edge of the wooden plank touched the wall!

"Cave! This is a cave!"

The distance on the other side was also quickly calculated, and the mystic who was under the greatest pressure finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The light source began to move, and they approached the wall carefully, and soon, the light illuminated a rock wall.Touching the dry stones, whether it is a pirate or an adventurer, they all feel the joy of the rest of their lives.

In the dry and sheltered cave, dry the clothes and light the fire, and you can last for a long time.

"Here are the bones of livestock!"

After walking for a while, a pirate keenly found a skull of a cow or sheep.He said happily: "This bone is very new. Some time ago, someone might have come here and slaughtered cattle and sheep here!"

Further on, they found many scattered bones. Fortunately, after identification, these were the bones of livestock.

It's very new, it's all been put here randomly, it looks like it should be a few months ago.

"Who would come here? With so many animals?"

Such a question appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.

The crew members walked among the cleaned bones, feeling more and more uneasy.At this moment, the soldier walking in front suddenly kicked something, he lowered his head and saw——

——a human skeleton kneeling on the ground, head facing forward.

The soldier was stunned, he lost his ability to think for a while, unable to understand the reason why this human skeleton appeared here.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through the back of his neck, and the Dawn Knight subconsciously restrained his brilliance to prepare for battle. At the moment when the cave became dark, the pirate beside Kirchies suddenly reached out and lifted the cover of the oil lamp, lightly With a light blow, the fire was extinguished.

The cave was suddenly plunged into darkness.

……

Agaritu followed the team far away, watching the team go all the way to the depths of the island under the guidance of the compass, going against the harbor where the "Death" was located, and walked a long way.

After losing the compass, he followed the mysticist's divination results to accurately bypass the low vegetation and building debris, and walked slowly along a path.In this wasteland, only this small road with a width of only two or three meters is free of debris, as if it was artificially opened up, and someone walked here not long ago.

Behind a stone, Agaritu narrowed his eyes, and picked up a small golden part from the edge of the stone at his feet.

The rain parted itself above his head, leaving a dry space.He wiped off the dirt on the small parts. This fingernail-sized item is very delicate, and it doesn't fit in the painting style of the Sea of ​​Gods because it is a metal zipper button.

From the outside world, things with obvious characteristics of the times appeared in the Sea of ​​Gods, and this road is an ancient pilgrim road...

Agaritu was thoughtful, and he continued to walk forward with the team, tossing a "human-skinned shadow" that kept harassing the team on the road tremblingly, and finally entered a ruin with a long corridor.

Lightning flashed, and behind the corridor was a huge building, somewhat like the black monastery that appeared in the previous collective dream.

The aisle is actually a fork in the road, one to the left and one to the right.There are simple murals and signs painted on the inner wall on the right side, depicting many people in white robes, leading various cattle, sheep and livestock, walking in a long procession.

When they came to this fork in the road, the believers in white robes drove the cattle and sheep to the left passage, and walked to the right by themselves.The cattle and sheep were cut into small pieces by a man in armor with a large sword, piled up on the lever, and opened the gate at the end of the right aisle.

There are a few vague words written in the ancient giant language below.

"Sacrifice to God"

"Pray to open...the holy land..."

The sacrifices to the gods were driven ahead, and the shepherds who were going to cross the road followed.

Sure enough, at the entrance of the aisle, the mystics made their last divination, and they slowly walked into the sacrificial passage on the left under the guidance of fate.

"Going to the kingdom of God requires sacrifice... of course!"

Agaritu watched their backs slowly disappear into the depths of the passage, and smiled in relief.

"It's really right to bring more people, they will always come in handy."

Thinking about it carefully, according to the trend of other colleagues, after Zhenzao found out Klein's identity, he should almost find a way to go to Origin Castle at his own expense to find a seat and play house with other people. Considering that there are people in "The Hanged Man", Then there should be some terrifying traditional arts.

Dark night decay in chair fights: ?

Zhenzao against the night and decay: Hug a little, you two, you will have your own position as soon as you come...
