After the full level, my soft rice system is long overdue

Although Ciel is not afraid of space turbulence or world-swallowing beasts, he has no idea of ​​wasting years on dimensional travel.

So he did not choose to cross directly physically.

Instead, imitating the application method in the fragments of divine power, the mental power is projected directly onto the secondary dimension located by that coordinate.

..

In the distant secondary dimension, Ciel observed the surrounding environment.

This is a somewhat dilapidated log cabin.

Except for the wisp of candlelight on the table, there was only one dilapidated little bed that creaked when I sat on it.

Charles brushed the wooden table with his hand, and some sawdust stuck to his hand, with a rotten smell.

[Main task: Raider mission target - "Twilight Witch", and increase her favorability to over 90. 】

[This soft rice task is a series of tasks, please follow the guidance to complete the host step by step. 】

[Guide mission 1: Investigate the surrounding environment and collect information about the "Twilight Witch". 】

"so--"

"Who is the Twilight Witch?"

Ciel doesn't care much about the achievement of the system's goals.

After all, those rewards from the system are already dispensable to him now.

However, at this moment, he knows nothing about the world in this secondary dimension.

The information revealed in the system task introduction can be regarded as some clues, which can also come in handy for Charles who wants to explore the hidden secrets in this secondary dimension world.

Charles stretched out his mental strength, and then couldn't help frowning slightly.

He could feel that as soon as his mental power left his body, he encountered a strong obstacle.

Let your mental strength sink into a quagmire, and it will be difficult to make an inch of progress.

This should be the plane law of this secondary dimension, which limits the release of spiritual power from the rule level.

Charles raised his eyebrows, ignored the huge resistance, and continued to increase the output of mental power projected.

next moment--

Click.

The sound of something shattering sounded, and the resistance that restrained Charles' mental power disappeared.

"Sure enough, great efforts can produce miracles."

Charles nodded in satisfaction, and then followed the feedback of his mental power to find a crowded place.

..

This is a pale city.

Gray and white stone pillars soared into the sky, building up magnificent buildings one after another, like a royal court where giants lived.

However, a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the top of these originally majestic buildings, and only through the cracks in the decayed shell can we vaguely see the whole picture of these buildings in the past.

The most striking thing is the sky above the city.

There is no sun, no moon, no stars.

Yes, only the eternal, dead and deep darkness.

The only light in the city is the lanterns wrapped in metal shells hanging on the stone pillars, and a little candlelight shining through the windows of the houses.

..

In the center of the city, there is a wide square.

A huge altar made of white marble stands in the center of the square. A blue flame burns in the center of the altar, becoming the brightest light source in the entire city.

Around the altar, figures gathered in the square holding torches in their hands.

The faces of these people were haggard, and their emaciated figures were hidden in the wide gray cloaks.

Their eyes were dull and dull, and only when they looked at the children running and playing among the houses in the distance, did a little light disappear.

"Aurora City is finished too..."

"The disaster at dusk has spread to dozens of miles outside the city, and three expeditions that went out to collect food have lost contact outside the city, and they can never come back!"

"Let's escape!"

"Escape? Where can I escape? Where is there a safe land?"

"30 years ago, when I was a child... there were four cities and more than a dozen villages and towns around Aurora City."

"But 30 years have passed, the prosperous kingdom at the beginning, now there is only this last city left..."

"Now, is it finally our turn..."

..

People held torches and whispered, with pessimism and lament in their words.

At this moment, someone jumped onto the high platform in the square.

"Everyone! The dusk and the long night have come, it is inevitable!"

"With our strength as mortals, we will absolutely not be spared from this disaster. Over the past few decades, the surrounding cities have all been bloody lessons!"

"All we can do is to pray for those supreme and great beings to cast a merciful gaze and free us from this endless twilight disaster!"

The crowd of onlookers seemed to have gotten used to it for a long time and were not surprised, but many people still looked at the figure preaching on the high platform.

And that person got more and more energetic immediately after being watched by the rest of the crowd.

"The Lord I serve is the supreme God of the Sea and Storm!"

"Every breath he takes brings out a roar of thunder, and every opening and closing of his eyes is a cycle of day and night!"

"The Lord is merciful and kind. As long as you fall into the arms of the Lord from today onwards, no matter what you have done before, you will be forgiven by the Lord after death, and you will be eligible to enter the Kingdom of God!"

When that person was talking about being excited, another person suddenly stood up.

"The so-called Lord in your mouth—is just a false god pretending to be a ghost."

"The Lord I serve—the Mother Earth, who is in charge of fertility and life, is just now the great existence we can rely on!"

"Ridiculous! The god of the sea and the storm is the most supreme!"

The man who had ascended the platform earlier glared at the one who came after him.

"You are ridiculous! The Mother Earth is the most noble existence!"

The latecomers also shot back with their eyes wide open.

..

Among the crowd, an old man with gray hair and stooped figure watched the two people who were arguing passionately on the high platform, and shook his head slightly.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found a figure with black hair and black eyes in front of him.

"Sorry, can I ask you a few questions?"

The other party spoke gently.

The white-haired old man looked at the black-haired and black-eyed young man in front of him with his gray and somewhat dim eyes.

"Although the people around subconsciously regard you as a companion...but you are not actually an aborigine of Aurora City—"

"I know every resident of Aurora City—you are not among them."

The other party didn't seem to care, and his words were still gentle: "If you want to think so, then there's nothing wrong with it."

"I just wanted to ask you a few questions."

The white-haired old man silently stared at the black-haired young man in front of him, thinking about the other party's origin, but he found nothing.

Aurora City is the only human stronghold left under the twilight disaster within hundreds of miles around——

If there were outsiders, it would only be refugees who fled from other cities hit by disasters.

However, there is no doubt that the other party's conversation and appearance are definitely not like those refugees whose homes have been destroyed and displaced.

"Why are you looking for me?"

The white-haired old man had a hoarse voice.

"Because you are the most powerful existence in this city, and you are only one step away from being a legend at your peak..."

"At the same time, it seems to be the oldest existence."

"According to my experience when playing games, when you arrive at a new map, it is undoubtedly the most efficient way to find the elders in it to collect information."

The other party's words are still gentle.

The white-haired old man was silent.

Few people in this city knew his true strength and identity, but they were able to see through him at a glance.

Finally he nodded: "You ask..."

"it is good--"

The other party didn't greet him very politely, but started to ask questions directly.

"What's the matter with this city, or the sky of this world?"

This actually needs to be asked?

The white-haired old man was full of doubts in his heart, but he still answered truthfully.

"Since the day of the Great Cataclysm, the sky of this world has been like this... without natural light, whether it is the rotation of the sun, the moon or the stars, it has disappeared."

This is common sense that every resident living in this world understands, and he has no need to hide it.

The black-haired youth nodded: "So, what is the catastrophe?"

"The cataclysm happened 200 years ago, when I was just born, and I didn't leave a deep impression when it happened."

"However, according to other people's descriptions, an indescribable upheaval took place that day."

"All the believers of the Orthodox Church fell into madness in an instant, and there is no more rules and order in this world—"

The words of the white-haired old man were a little vague.

However, Charles vaguely sketched out the whole picture of the incident from his scattered words.

To sum it up, it is a simple paragraph——

The evil gods invaded and the continent fell.

The death of righteous gods, the pollution of pollution, the madness of madness.

The twilight disaster swept across the world and plunged the whole world into a long eternal night.

In the end, the soil for human existence is only left in this last land of order.

Everything happened so fast it seemed hollow.

Of course, there must be many, many stories in this.

This world must also have their heroic epics. In the process of fighting against the twilight disaster and evil gods, many great characters were born.

The pessimism and shock of the fall of the gods, the cruelty and sadness of the fall of the kingdom.

There is also the situation of panic and despair when watching the last place of survival being compressed little by little, and finally only the last lonely city remains.

But these, the white-haired old man did not fully say it.

The old man stared at Charles with those haggard eyes, and spoke hesitantly.

"I heard.. I remember.. In the distant past - before the cataclysm, the world was not so dark and dark."

"People don't need to rely on the hourglass to record the time like today, they just need to look up at the sun in the sky to judge the approximate time."

"At that time, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and people only needed to rely on the light and heat of the sun to grow crops and obtain food safely, instead of sending collection teams to search for prey in the dangerous darkness—"

"Even at night, there are bright moons and bright stars in the sky...to illuminate the way for lost travelers."

The old man rambled on.

He looked at Shire, with longing, suspicion, and longing in his haggard eyes...
