Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of years later, the ancient myth would be reappeared in such an incredible way. Edward couldn't help but sigh that there was nothing new under the sun.

However, the sun in this world is God. In the eyes of the omniscient and omnipotent God, there is probably nothing new in this world.

"Well, since the River of Eternal Darkness has no objection to my proposal, I will also find a way to help him cover it up."

"Back to the High Priest Oracle, although it is most efficient for extraordinary people and spiritual creatures to dig it, he should still try his best to mobilize ordinary people who are unaware to dig this river, so that the River of Eternal Darkness can be as close as possible to Balam's Everyone has a mystical connection. Their fate and future are closely related to the River of Eternal Darkness, just like countless trackers pulling the big boat on the river..."

How can there be any living people in the kingdom of death?

As early as the Fourth Age, the Pale Disaster swept from Bailang to the northern continent, and the first people to be affected were Bailang's own people.

In a mystical sense, the fate of this country is closely related to the God of Death. The country's culture and social customs are influenced by the God, and the God of Death means the end. After the return of the God of Death, the world after death is promised and appears. The Death Archon cannot reduce the mortality rate, and people yearn for death more than life.This may seem twisted, but it actually fits the fate of this country.

"They should have already calculated how to cross the river. Let me see. The starting point is in the capital. According to the southwest direction of the terrain... It's good. It's like opening a canal for transportation, but it must interfere with its end point. , I want the river to eventually merge into the sea.”

Bansi Port is located due west of Balam and is somewhat deviated from the target position. It seems that it will also make a fuss about the City of Disaster.

The "door" on Bansi was not closed, it was just violently destroyed.

When Edward went to Bansi for a walk, he only cut off the "fingers" that had been interrogated and took them away.

Although the waterway is now blocked, the person responsible for handling this matter at that time was just a demigod.

The demigods do not have the ability to completely close the "door" there. Even if the current God of Thunder still insists on not contacting the source of matter, it is impossible to completely close this gap. Cleaning everything up is the limit.

Not to mention that the rumor of "being uprooted by the church overnight because of being a cult member" is more likely to attract some pirates and adventurers who are curious and like to seek their own death.What's more, among the potions and extraordinary characteristics circulating on the sea, those who are good at fighting at low sequences, such as "Hunter", "Warrior", "Sailor"... are the best-selling and easiest to buy. Coupled with the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, Maybe the current City of Disaster has secretly eaten a lot of the sacrifices that came to its door.

Oh, actually, the pollution in the City of Disaster doesn’t feel very good when held up, like a red-hot iron ball. Not only is it uncomfortable to hold, it also randomly imparts some simple and crude fighting instincts to the surrounding things, which has no redeeming qualities at all.

So as soon as he got it, Edward gave up the idea of ​​making it into a souvenir or a gadget to carry around.

Based on the location of Bansi, the most suitable thing is to cause chaos in the Rhosid Islands and the coast of Loen, and have "disasters, chaos and wars" that fit the symbol of the Sefirot. This will definitely resonate with the Sefirot and further activate it nearby.

Of course, if a sufficient number of "Hunters" and "Witches" Extraordinaries appear nearby, they can also become a catalyst.

"The God of Thunder has absolute authority and violence. He has controlled both the political and social order, and has a very high prestige among believers and non-believers... The people of Feneport cannot cause much trouble, And their self-perception and national identity with the Loen people will become more profound because of the conflicts between them, which is probably what He wants."

They purify each other, you can see it at a glance.

When He is the greatest power, no matter how chaotic the social order is, it will be suppressed by the God of Thunder with absolute power. There are insufficient resources, a shortage of jobs, and the solution to social conflicts is also very simple... Edward vaguely remembers the old days During the Japanese Era, I heard young college students at school discussing the villain protagonist of a movie called Thanos.

You see, the employment environment in Feneport is very good now. The country can even assign jobs to every literate person. There is no competitive pressure in schools and society. Human beings are so tenacious. Even if they are full of hatred, they will still be strong. Find a way to survive.

They are like weeds, they will grow on their own if left alone, and the burned parts will become nutrients for the new weeds that will grow next.

"If you want this country to be in chaos, you must first make the God of Thunder worse."

Considering that there are so many gods who have enmity with Him and are willing to oppose Him, this seems not difficult to do.

……

The Rhoside Islands are a small private island belonging to the "Poseidon Church" believed by the resistance forces.

A group of workers who had just completed the laying of gas pipelines were looking for a place to rest, waiting for the ship sent by the "Poseidon" Church to pick them up and others back to Bayam, when they saw those "half-giants" who were said to be from the northern island of Fusac. Carrying heavy gray and white stones, they walked over, one step at a time.

These workers have participated in the construction of ports, churches and art galleries, and know how heavy the gray stone is.

They remember that with the assistance of logs, horses, and machinery, it is very difficult for people to carry similar stones, but the "half giants" here are as easy as holding toys.

Such power is exaggerated to the extreme.

The plumbers admired the strength and physique of the half-giants and whispered to each other:

"I was worried that they would take our jobs...but I heard they will leave soon."

"Leave? Where to go? Do you think they are Fusac people?"

"Of course! Besides the Fusac people, who else can grow so tall, and even a whole village can grow so tall?"

"You are right. I have long suspected that they are Fusac people. They came to Loen and hid on such a small island. They don't know much about the things around them. They look like they are here to spy on information. of foreign spies..."

Derrick listened to their discussion and was pleased that the rumors spread by Mr. Alger "The Hanged Man" had indeed gained a certain market, which could easily explain their subsequent relocation.Then he pretended to know nothing and returned to the gathering place of the people of the Eastern Continent with the stone and his people.Seeing that the outer walls and some buildings of the town had been initially constructed thanks to the efforts of the Silver City Pathfinder Team, he nodded and said to his two acquaintances, Candice and Liaval:

"We're leaving soon."

"It's not just us. I have discussed with the chief that this time, everyone including Donglu will leave together."

Everyone in Silver City had no objections and began to praise Mr. Fool quite excitedly.

Although they have not been here for too long, they have already fallen in love with their new "hometown", the warmth under the sun, the tranquility of the red moon night, and they can't wait to let their relatives and friends know You can also experience it and enjoy it.

Seeing this, Derrick straightened his back subconsciously. He controlled himself, didn't let a smile emerge, and calmly said to Candice:

"The Chief said that I will handle the matter this time, and Elder Lovia also said that he can trust me. You and I will go back to Silver City and tell the Chief and the other elders of the 'Six-person Council' about the situation here.

"Well, Genod, you are also together, Liaval, you are responsible for maintaining order here."

He was worried that he would not be able to win the trust of the current chief Werther Hillmon and others by himself, so he brought in two more companions.

After explaining the corresponding matters, Derrick led Candice and Jinold to a secluded place in the temporary residence of the Eastern Continent. He lowered his head, clasped his hands, prayed to Mr. Fool, and promised to return immediately. The wish of Silver City.

In the silence, the scene around them first became blurred and stretched, then fixed and became clear quickly.

A city wall with hair-like weeds fluttering appeared in front of their eyes.

In just a few seconds, Derrick and his two subordinates returned to the gate of the City of Silver.

"...This is a miracle..." Candice rubbed her eyes with her unarmed hand, and sincerely admired.

She envisioned many ways to return to the City of Silver, but she never thought about returning directly like this.

For her, this is a miracle bestowed by the gods.

Girod shook the glass lantern in his hand, and muttered without thinking:
"This is much brighter than the animal skin lantern..."

Before he finished speaking, he woke up and showed a pure smile without any trace of haze.This time, they will also be the messengers who lead the residents of Silver City out of the land abandoned by God.

Derrick breathed a sigh of relief, maintained his serious appearance and said:

"While it's daylight now, we'll go back immediately and arrange for everyone to prepare for the move. Although Mr. Fool didn't give us a time limit, we can't let him wait for too long."

He heard Mr. "The Hanged Man" talk about many things that were only short of success by the last point, and he didn't want the City of Silver to have a similar ending.

Therefore, the next various affairs, if you can hurry up, you have to hurry up.

When passing through the gate, the residents of the City of Silver who were in charge of guarding looked at the three pathfinders curiously, seeing hope from their ruddy and glowing faces.

"Did Liaval and the others not come back?" Someone asked worriedly, fearing that the rest of the pathfinding team members had already died.

Derrick simply responded:

"They stayed outside, building makeshift camps."

The guards didn't ask any more questions, fearing that it would delay the time, they just watched Derrick and the others go to the twin towers.

Not long after, Derrick, Candice, and Jinold met the remaining elder Waite Hilmon and the other members of the "Six-person Council" and described the key points of their team's experiences in the outside world.

At the end of the report, they also took out exquisite mechanical creations such as pocket watches and music boxes as proof.

Yesterday I went to the market with Mr. Alger. Although it was not the largest and most prosperous one in the "City of Generosity", it was enough to make people from the Eastern Continent shine with their eyes and rush to spend money.

Waite Hilmon, who has a dark green symbol tattooed on his head and is over [-] meters tall, looked at each other and sighed with the members of the "Six-person Council" except Derrick:
"Your experience is like a dream. No, I would never dream of such a scene."

After saying that, he said with a solemn expression: "Has the dungeon for storing the sealed artifacts been built?"

"This is the first building we completed." Derrick gave a very definite answer, and then he said, "Elder, Mr. Fool has issued an oracle, asking us to return the building he gave us. The sealed object 'Poseidon's Scepter' is handed over to Mr. Alger Wilson. With his help, we can quickly establish a foothold in the outside world, and he will also go to the Feysac Empire with us in the future."

"no problem."

Waite nodded slightly, and immediately issued an order:

"Let everyone gather at the training ground with the necessary items.

"In order to prevent accidents, we directly prayed to Mister Fool, asking him to transfer us there."

Having said that, Waite thought for a while and said:

"Mr. 'Fool' previously sent an oracle, saying that we don't have to wait for the residents of Moon City to come. High Priest Nim, like you, will pray directly to Mr. 'Fool', and High Priest Nim will personally go back to lead the people of Moon City. The masses, they will reach the outside world with us.”

Derrick nodded, and Waite asked him another curious thing:

"After leaving, should we go to your temporary residence first to wait for arrangements, or should we go directly to the country called Fusac?"

Derrick pondered for a moment: "... Mr. Fool should have meant for us to go directly to Fusac after we meet up, but I can't be sure yet because I heard that it is snowing there now and the weather is very cold. We went You might not get used to it after that.”

Snow?
Including Waite, all the people in Silver City who had not left were stunned for a moment: "What is snow? The weather is cold, and how cold can it be that Extraordinary people should be prepared before going?"

But they still didn't ask this question after all. Rather than the answer, they looked forward to the world they were about to see with their own eyes.

Waite Hillmon's voice also involuntarily brought some expectations:
"Also, let me tell you that the living environment in Moon City is difficult, and many people have become deformed. You should look at them with normal eyes."

Although the City of Silver has black-faced grass as its staple food, it still eats the flesh and blood of monsters to replenish its strength from time to time, which causes deformed children to be born among them occasionally, so everyone is no stranger to this phenomenon.

"Okay!" The rest of the members of the "Six-member Council" responded without hesitation, and their faces showed uncontrollable excitement.

This time, they no longer just saw the dawn, they were entering a whole new world.

……

Alan Kress was sitting in a glass conservatory on the seaside, leisurely looking out the window at the undulating sea with his wife.

In the cold winter, this is the best way to see the scenery.

Velma was teasing little Will, and the child's lively laughter dissipated a lot of the weirdness in Allen's heart. However, the doctor still felt an indescribable sense of strangeness when he looked at the surrounding scenery.

As if he shouldn't be here, but somewhere else.

He seems to be a little too tired recently. He always dozes off in the car, carriage or anywhere. Every time he opens his eyes, Allen has a strange feeling. It takes him a while to recall where he is now. Where.

This made him a little worried, suspecting that this was a precursor to Alzheimer's disease.

However, the afternoon sunshine was very good at the moment. While waiting for the food to be served, Allen's upper and lower eyelids couldn't help but begin to become heavier. No matter how hard he resisted, they still stuck together like glue, carrying him with him. Enter into a black dream.

After a few seconds, Allen opened his eyes, and he drowsily found himself sitting in what appeared to be a hotel room, dozing on an easy chair.The room was very warm, and it was snowing heavily outside the window. The white snow particles made a continuous sound on the glass.

Allen remembered that on the day he arrived at Utopia, he was trapped in the city by a sudden heavy snowfall.

This town is located in the north, and the weather is cold. Under such circumstances, of course Allen is not willing to go out to blow the cold wind, so he directly chooses to live in a hotel called "Iris" to rest and enjoy the scenery in the warm room. Snow.

Allen glanced vaguely at the clock on the wall. He thought it was time for lunch, but the living room was so comfortable that he really didn't want to leave.

This hotel had incredible equipment. Although there was no fireplace, the room was as warm as spring. As soon as he entered the room, he was sweating all over and took off his coat.

He couldn't remember whether he asked the waiter about the secret of hotel warmth. It seemed that he got the answer. It was something called "heating" or "floor heating"?Allen was very curious about what a "heater" was. It was actually better than gas and gas heating. Could he install a similar device in his home? However, the waiter declined politely, saying that it was in a cold area. Special equipment, Backlund is not so cold yet.

Allen brought a newspaper and prepared to open the curtains to take a look at the snowy scene outside.

But the outstretched hand suddenly retracted, and he felt so sleepy that he sat down directly on the easy chair, grabbed the unopened newspaper and fell asleep.

Snow was falling outside the window, and countless people were suspended by black lines in the streets and rooms on both sides. On the deserted street, a vague figure wearing light-colored clothes that almost blended in with the snow was walking slowly.

seems to be looking for something.

TBC
------

Allen opened his eyes, yawned, and while laughing with his wife and complaining that the sunshine made him doze off again, he turned his attention to the Dixi-style grilled fish that had just been presented.

He was just about to taste it when he suddenly felt a little cold, as if he had just returned from a warm place. (End of chapter)
