Chapter 481 A Small-Scale Gathering
Above the gray fog, in the magnificent ancient palace, Klein sat on the high-backed chair that belonged to the "Fool" and listened to the narration of the "Magician" Fors.
The commission from Mr. Lawrence of the Abraham family was to assassinate Mr. X of the Aurora Society. Yes, Lawrence had been promoted to a traveler and was now capable of taking revenge on the Aurora Society.
This was the first external business of the Tarot Club, and it was a collective action involving many people.
Klein quickly gathered his thoughts. He looked down leisurely at the image condensed by the prayer light points, and looked at the somewhat uneasy "Magician" Fors with a smile:
"So, who do you want to participate in this private gathering?"
In the rental house in the western part of Backlund, Fors heard the answer from the depths of the gray fog. She looked up with some surprise and stared at the figure in the gray fog, and then quickly lowered her head.
Mr. "Fool" means that you can organize a small gathering for us? I thought it would be like usual, so we can see and hear each other's request directly, but it is indeed more convenient to communicate this way.
After a little distraction, Fors began to seriously think about the Tarot Club members she could ask for. They had to be in Backlund, or those who had mastered the spiritual world shuttle and could quickly travel back and forth to Backlund, Miss Justice, Mr. Moon, and Mr. White Tower.
Fors quickly confirmed the Tarot Club members she wanted to invite and told Mr. Fool.
After getting the reply from the "Magician" Fors, Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't even invite the experienced and sophisticated "World". I was thinking that I could use the creeping hunger to graze the soul of a traveler. The ability of a traveler is really enviable.
Although he sighed a little, considering that he was on the "Future" and it was indeed inconvenient for him to rush to Backlund, Klein could only sigh in his heart that he was unlucky.
Then he edited Fors' words and threw them into the crimson stars representing "Justice", "Moon" and "White Tower" respectively.
Everyone responded quickly. Klein waited above the gray fog for about three or four minutes before spreading his spirituality and pulling the members participating in this small-scale gathering to the space above the gray fog.
Deep red light rose up and quickly condensed, and four somewhat blurry figures appeared on both sides of the mottled long table.
"Good morning, Mr. Fool~"
"Good morning, Mr. White Tower." "Good morning, Mr. Moon." "Good morning, Ms. Magician."
Audrey greeted everyone present with a cheerful tone. This was her first time participating in a small-scale gathering of members outside of the formal gathering every Monday, so she was inevitably a little excited.
After everyone greeted each other, Magician Fors coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then said,
"Everyone, I have a special commission."
After looking around at everyone, she continued,
"Assassinate the Aurora Society's envoy, Mr. X. He is currently in Backlund. He should be a Sequence 5 'Traveler' of the 'Apprentice' path. This mission is quite dangerous. If you don't want to participate, you can just refuse."
"Only us?"
"Justice" Audrey looked at Magician Fors with some curiosity. Fors should have discussed with someone and wanted to get rid of the Aurora Society's envoy as soon as possible, otherwise she should have issued a commission at the Tarot Club next week, instead of convening a small gathering like this.
"Moon" Emlyn also looked at Magician Fors curiously. He didn't think that he and his friends alone were capable of assassinating an Aurora Society's envoy. The flexibility of the 'Traveler' made it difficult for them to be caught.
Unless this guy is willing to help, Emlyn the Moon suddenly turned his head and looked at Renekton who was sitting on his right.
Renekton turned his head and looked at Emlyn who was looking at him, then turned his head to look at the Magician Fors who was standing in front of him and said,
"I am in the ruins of the God War east of the Sonia Sea. I can't participate in your assassination operation, but I can provide you with some items and extraordinary abilities."
"Okay." Although a little disappointed, Fors still nodded calmly in response, and then turned his head to answer the question that Audrey the Justice had just asked:
"There is also a 'traveler' from the Abraham family, and this commission also comes from him."
"What we need to do is to create a suitable battlefield, prevent the other party's possible accomplices, and prevent Mr. X from escaping through the spirit world."
After listening to Fors' explanation, Emlyn the Moon chuckled, then leaned back leisurely. If the Fool hadn't been here, he would have even crossed his legs.
This vampire looks a bit arrogant. Klein looked at Emlyn, who looked proud, and complained about him in his heart.
Emlyn felt the gaze falling on him, which made the corners of his mouth curl up slightly. He said leisurely with a show-off mood:
"Is that so? Then I have no problem. It just so happens that I have just mastered an extraordinary characteristic corresponding to the blood clan viscount. I can use it to exert the power of the fifth level of sequence in a short period of time."
"Don't use the power of the full moon." Renekton glanced at Emlyn, whose mouth curled up, and reminded him.
"Why?" "Moon" Emlyn looked at Renekton in confusion and said.
"Magician" Fors suddenly widened his eyes, and his expression became serious and said: "Full moon? Is it the full moon I think of?"
Renekton nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the sequence five of the 'Moon' path is called Crimson Scholar. He has the extraordinary ability to make the area within a certain range in the state of full moon." Fors seemed to have remembered something bad. She shivered slightly with a chill. Then she looked at Emlyn "Moon" with a serious look and said,
"Mr. Moon, please do not use the Beyonder ability of the Full Moon in the assassination of Mr. X. It will bring serious negative effects."
Klein, who was sitting at the head of the mottled long table, suddenly thought of the crimson moon crown in Miss Sharon's hand. It turned out that it corresponded to Sequence 5 of the "Moon" path. Fortunately, the "apprentices" who betrayed the Abraham family did not have magical items of this path, otherwise the Abraham family would have been wiped out.
The full moon will bring serious negative effects? Why? Did the "traveler" of the Abraham family carry some magical items that would cause terrible negative effects during the full moon? Audrey looked at Fors with some doubts. The other party's serious expression made her understand that the negative effects brought by the full moon must be very terrifying.
"Moon" Emlyn was a little confused, but still nodded seriously and said,
"Okay, as the darlings of the "Moon", even if it is not a full moon, we can still get certain blessings."
Mr. "Moon" really cares about the identity of the blood clan, and always repeatedly emphasizes that they are the darlings of the moon. Audrey looked at Emlyn with a smile, then turned her head to look at Fors and said,
"I can also participate, but the audience is not good at frontal combat, I can only do some auxiliary interference around."
"Magician" Fors nodded lightly and said,
"No problem, what kind of reward do you want?"
"Justice" Audrey thought for a moment and then said,
"This can be discussed after our assassination is successful based on everyone's contribution. Under the witness of Mr. "Fool", I believe everyone will get a satisfactory result."
"Okay." Emlyn nodded and agreed with "Justice" Audrey's idea.
"No problem. Even if the mission fails, I will give you 500 pounds each."
Fors nodded, and then added that 1,000 pounds was all the cash I could take out. Alas~ After
confirming the participants, Fors, Audrey, and Emlyn began to actively discuss how to create a suitable assassination opportunity.
To the east of the Sonia Sea, the "Future" that was sailing calmly on the sea suddenly rose and fell violently.
Renekton, who was enjoying lunch in the restaurant, reached out to catch the cup that was thrown into the air, and the scattered wine miraculously poured back into the cup.
The next moment, the scene outside the "Future" emerged in his mind:
The blue sea in front of the "Future" was suddenly cut off by a huge gap, and the endless sea water fell like a waterfall, flowing into the bottomless darkness below!
Crash!
The "Future" did not stop, and there was no way to stop it. It rushed forward through the suddenly broken sea surface and then fell at a high speed.
In the restaurant, all the pirates who were enjoying lunch were thrown up and hit the ceiling above. The air was full of scattered toast, white bread, beer, grilled fish and other foods they were eating.
Suddenly, a series of starlights swirled around Renekton, condensing into a dazzling entity, holding his body in the air, without being affected by the rapid fall.
He looked around with ease. Cattleya easily maintained her balance in a similar way to him, standing quietly on the condensed and dazzling starlight.
In addition, Klein, as a faceless man, also easily adjusted his posture and landed on the ceiling like performing an acrobatic trick. The one who
dodged this sudden change the easiest was Heath. He just leaned back a little, and his figure instantly darkened and blackened, squirming into the shadows.
Looking around, Renekton tapped the table twice with his fingers. A fist-sized translucent crystal ball flew out from the shadow under him. The crystal ball was shining with bright stars, reflecting the blue starlight in the surrounding cabins.
The gravity in the cabin was suddenly distorted. The crew members who were originally clinging to the ceiling fell down slowly, pushed to their original positions by the starlight. The food floating in the air was also returned to its place, but Renekton could not guarantee whether it was on their original plates.
When the "Future" was about to fall completely into the bottomless darkness, there was suddenly an exaggerated surge of sea water from below, lifting the "Future" and pushing it to the other side of the sea gap.
The bright starlight around was like a safety belt, firmly fixing every pirate in the restaurant in their position.
After a while, the sunlight shining into the cabin from the window suddenly became bright and blazing!
Renekton's eyes penetrated the cabin and saw the boundless sea outside. Under the sunlight, it seemed that countless golden illusory flames were burning, with a strong atmosphere of the sun domain.
The transparent sea water was bottomless, and only an endless darkness could be seen. There were no clouds in the sky, and no sun, but the blazing sunlight like noon still sprinkled the entire sea.
This is called the sea, but it is not a real ocean. It is more like a real and illusory area formed by the interweaving of countless ruins and residual divine power.
There must be residual divine power of the dreamer here, which is why there are monsters with only power but no characteristics.
After sighing in his heart, Renekton lowered his eyes slightly and retracted his sight. He was worried that if he continued to look, he would not be able to help but use the Eye of Peering to see more. If I use the Eye of Peering now, I can 100% see the Eternal Sun, and then be ignited from the inside out, without even ash left.
Even without using the Eye of Prying, he could vaguely see the illusory shadow curtain that covered everything. Behind the curtain, there was a terrifying gaze staring at him, and noisy, unpleasant whispers kept echoing in his ears. Chapter 482: Ruins of the War of Gods
"There are many ruins floating here, with all kinds of mutated monsters, and even quite a few out-of-control demigods and ancient evil creatures."
Cattleya approached at some point, looking out the window with a serious gaze, her tone lamenting.
Klein also approached after hearing Cattleya's sigh. He thought for a moment with a slightly solemn expression and then said,
"This shouldn't be the most dangerous, right? Otherwise, this place will only become a treasure trove for the seven major churches to obtain high-sequence characteristics and materials."
Cattleya nodded, and continued in a somewhat erratic voice,
"Yes, for Beyonders at our level, the real danger here is that you can never guess what you will encounter in the next second. Maybe just by approaching a certain relic, your body will suddenly melt, like a lit candle, or you may suddenly be petrified and blown away by the wind."
Klein tilted his head for me and asked sharply,
"What about Beyonders who are above our level?"
Cattleya's inquiring eyes fell on Renekton. Seeing that he had no abnormal reaction, she continued,
"This sea is full of sounds that shouldn't be heard. The higher the sequence, the stronger the spirituality, and the easier it is to hear. This is also the reason why those demigods who dare to explore here have problems. They either go crazy or lose control, and are lost here forever."
After hearing Cattleya's description, Klein looked at Renekton with some concern.
Renekton leaned on the wooden chair in front of the dining table, curled his lips and said,
"It's probably because someone has been singing rap in my ear. To be honest, He doesn't sing very well. Of course, He will occasionally speak a word or two to me in a clear mind, but I don't understand."
Klein's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't know whether the other party was belittling rap or the sounds that filled this sea.
"Rap?" Cattleya spoke with a tongue-twisting accent, her tone full of curiosity.
She did not wait for Renekton to explain, and continued:
"Do you mean the language itself, or the meaning of the voices?"
"You'd better block out these voices. If you listen to them for a long time, even if you are already a demigod, you will inevitably fall into madness. There are already many demigods who have lost control and gone crazy here."
Renekton nodded seriously, indicating that he already knew.
"The voices here will not have much impact on me, but they are a bit unpleasant."
As he spoke, his eyes lingered on Heath, who had just walked out of the shadows, and saw the cold and indifferent eyes behind him that seemed to be condensed by starlight.
This eye flashed with pure light, separating him from the ubiquitous shadow curtain around him, so that he would not passively hear the voice of the real creator that filled this sea.
Ho! Ho!
The hoarse and clear panting sound echoed in the ears of all the crew members of the "Future", like the sound of a huge airflow entering and exiting the throat, slow and regular, with a weird and indescribable feeling, provoking the nerves of everyone around.
Heath, the Rose Bishop, suddenly covered his head with both hands and groaned in pain:
"There is a corpse over there."
While he was speaking, Renekton had already looked over and saw a huge figure constantly wandering in the ruins not far away.
It was nearly ten meters tall, with festering and pus on its skin. The pale yellow pus was mixed with some fine fluff, and only a small part of its gray-blue skin remained intact.
There was no head on its neck, but it was clear that the throat there was expanding and contracting, as if it was breathing hard, and the huge and clear panting sound around it was emitted from this.
The midday sun turned dim around it, slowly gathering like a substance, like a 'dusk storm' ready to go, and anything that was stained with that dim light would decay, rot, wither and even die.
A giant that swallowed the characteristics of the phoenix? Even after losing the characteristics, it can still maintain a power close to Sequence 3, although it is more due to the special features of this ruin.
As his thoughts drifted, he heard Cattleya's calm and clear voice:
"Speed up and go around there, don't get close!"
The sailors on the ship came to their senses and quickly ran away from the restaurant to their respective posts. Under the command of the navigator Ottolov and the boatswain Nina, they quickly adjusted the sails and changed the route forward. It was not
until the ruins of the pile of stones and pillars disappeared from the sea level that Heath, who had been covering his head, came to his senses.
"What was that corpse just now? Just the panting of the corpse can cause such a big reaction?"
Klein looked at Renekton with some curiosity. He noticed that the other party looked in the direction of the sound for a while, and the eyes of the secret peeker must be able to discover something.
Renekton looked down at the cold food on the plate and lost the desire to eat any more. He picked up the glass of wine next to him and took a sip of the red wine. Then he said calmly,
"A giant who possesses the characteristics of the 'God of Death' path. He might have been an angel when he was alive. Even though he is dead now and has lost his original characteristics, he can use the special features here to manifest the power of the third level of Sequence."
"Lost his original characteristics?"
Klein glanced at Renekton with a strange expression, as if to say... No wonder you didn't have any extra reaction. It turns out that the corpse can no longer drop equipment. Then he turned his attention to Heath, who was sitting in the backlight, and whose face was obviously not very good.
Although he had passed the "Listener" stage, he still had the characteristics of a "Listener". Even if he did not actively use that ability, he would be more sensitive than ordinary Beyonders in similar things just now. If one day his condition was too good or too bad, he might be able to directly hear the whispers that filled this sea area.
Renekton glanced at Klein, as if he understood the problem he was thinking under his calm expression, and chuckled and said,
"Don't worry, although the magical item he carries can't really isolate the sound that fills this sea area, as long as he doesn't leave the "Future", he will be fine."
Will he be fine if he doesn't leave the "Future"? Is there a corresponding arrangement on this ship? Yes, as the "Admiral of the Star", Cattleya couldn't have thought of these problems. Klein pondered for a few words in his heart, and then stopped thinking about this problem and concentrated on eating the food in front of him.
Renekton, who had no intention of continuing to eat lunch, stood up from his chair, walked out of the restaurant and came to the deck outside, looking at the sea surface dyed with a layer of gold under the midday sun.
After walking on the deck for a while, his spirituality suddenly felt a touch. In front of the sea where the "Future" was sailing, a huge light spot appeared, which was shining and dreamy due to the refraction of the sun.
Renekton looked over with some curiosity. His eyes penetrated the shining and dazzling light on the outer layer and saw four huge stone pillars carved from diamonds inside. On the diamond pillars, there was also a large island floating.
Renekton's eyes continued to look deep into the island, passing through the charred and scorching soil, and saw two horses that seemed to be made of gold. Behind them, they pulled a gorgeous chariot also made of gold. They exuded a dazzling light like the sun, and from time to time, golden flames burst out in the surrounding air.
As if startled by Renekton's gaze, the two golden horses neighed and then began to run.
The air beneath their feet was like solid ground. The golden carriage quickly rose to the sky, running in the sky, quickly approaching the "Future" like a rising sun.
When the golden carriage rose like the sun, a thought suddenly emerged in Renekton's mind: "Sun Chaser!"
Sequence 2 of the "Sun" Path, the ancient "Sun Chaser", the current "Light Chaser".
At this moment, Cattleya's voice was amplified by the blessing of the spell, and it echoed in everyone's mind quickly and clearly:
"Look down!"
"Don't look!"
Renekton's figure also became transparent at this time, and the bright starlight seemed a little dim under the blazing sunlight.
As the sun got closer and closer to the "Future", the midday sun was suddenly covered by the bright starlight. The stars flashed brightly in the sky, twisting and shrinking constantly, bringing the sun formed by the golden carriage to the world in the painting before it rushed out of the area.
The blazing sky suddenly lost its sense of space, and the colors became rich and distorted, like an abstract oil painting. The oil painting is based on the starry sky, but in the center is a sun with golden dots gushing out.
A faint light gathered by a vast amount of knowledge suddenly surged from the "Future" and rushed into the huge oil painting in the sky.
The starry sky on the oil painting suddenly became much brighter, forming a tug-of-war with the golden dots scattered by the sun.
In the world in the painting, Bernadette's figure reunited in the vast amount of knowledge. She was still dressed as the pirate leader, holding a pale mask with a metallic luster in her hand.
The mask only had holes in the eyes, and there were no gaps in the rest of the place. There was a dead silence from the inside out.
She looked at Renekton, who was holding a bright and transparent crystal ball, with pure light flowing in his eyes, and commented in a flat voice:
"You are very brave. Even I have never thought of taking away the characteristics of the 'Light Chaser'."
"This is one of the reasons why I came to this ruins of the God War. The high-sequence characteristics of the 'Sun' path are the best energy."
Renekton, whose eyes were deep blue and almost purple, gave people an extremely sacred and wise feeling, but seemed quite indifferent and without warmth.
Behind him, a slightly incomplete ring composed of gears and chains quickly emerged amid the light blue light flowing like water waves.
In the center of the incomplete ring, the book outlined by lines was constantly turning, and a pair of cold and indifferent eyes without eyelashes containing countless bright stars emerged from the pages.
The status and power of the "sage" burst out from Renekton.
He gently threw the transparent crystal ball in his right hand forward. It slowly rotated, and the speed became faster and faster, and the surrounding gravity and electromagnetism also twisted.
The bright and transparent crystal ball turned dark, like a "black hole" that could swallow even light. Everything in the world in the painting began to distort and was gradually attracted by the "black hole".
Bernadette took a deep look at the "black hole" that was in a brief stalemate with the "sun". She inexplicably felt that this was a real celestial body in the universe.
Quickly collecting her thoughts, she slowly pressed the pale mask with a gleaming metallic luster in her hand forward, towards the direction of the blazing white "sun".
The mask with a gleaming metallic luster quickly materialized into an extremely complex and mysterious three-dimensional symbol, pressing down towards the blazing white and hot "sun".
Noticing this scene, Renekton manipulated the "black hole" with some difficulty, pushing it under the blazing white "sun". Chapter 483 The Hermit
From the blazing white "sun" came the painful neighs of horses, mixed with anxiety and fear.
But as the extremely complex and mysterious three-dimensional symbol transformed by the pale mask fell, the neighs full of anxiety and fear quickly became hoarse and dry, like a life gradually approaching death.
Whether it is the "sun" or the "black hole", they are inevitably weakening, cracking one after another, and growing tiny pale white hairs.
These hairs grew into white feathers in the blink of an eye. The surface seemed to be soaked with light yellow oil. It turned into ashes under the golden and blazing light, and was torn apart and swallowed by the terrifying gravity of the "black hole". The
blazing white "sun" began to fade little by little, its temperature began to drop, and the scattered light began to dim.
Bernadette looked at the "sun" that was gradually dying, and said without any warmth in her eyes:
"This seal is only temporary. You should have a way to recover the characteristics from this carriage, right?"
"Of course." Renekton nodded gently.
He reached into the inside of his brown woolen coat with his right hand and took out a normal-sized card. On the front of the card was a ragged Russell with snow-white hair and beard.
He bent his right index finger and tapped the card twice.
Crash!
The sound of an illusory thing breaking echoed in his ears, and the card in Renekton's hand burst into a faint light that was neither bright nor brilliant.
Although this light was not brilliant, it could not even be covered by the blazing sunlight around.
The faint light wandered around Renekton at will, and his body kept twisting, spilling out wisps of black mist that seemed to be real, and growing eyes. His spirit was passively infinitely elevated, and abstract knowledge turned into real power in him.
Renekton even had the illusion that he had become a "hermit" for a moment. He felt that he was omnipotent, the essence of all knowledge, and the master of all knowledge.
A feeling of madness, chaos, and coldness spread from him, and the balance between humanity and divinity began to waver, as if it would be overwhelmed by instinctive madness at any time.
Huh~huh~
He panted heavily, and when he finally found the balance between reason and madness and focused his attention on himself again, he found that he had lost his human appearance and only had a human form left.
The "sage's robe" that was originally carried secretly was already draped over his body. Under the heavy hood, there was no normal face, only a dark ball that swallowed everything and was full of madness. In the dark black, there was a light ball surrounded by pure light, like an indifferent and cold eye.
Around this "eye" were also dim starlight, dyed with different colors and with a little warmth, just like his reason that could collapse at any time under the invasion of madness and chaos.
Under the black robe, the exposed hands and feet were dark and dry, without the slightest luster or vitality, not at all like a living person.
As if unable to withstand the overpowering power and status, the "robe of the sage" tore into tattered strips of cloth, turning into wisps of condensed black mist.
On the black robe, in the wisps of black mist floating around, and even on the dark and dry limbs, all grew cold and indifferent eyes.
These eyes were stained with madness, showing undisguised malice, giving people an unusually sacred and wise feeling, but also seemed quite indifferent and without warmth.
Bernadette looked at Renekton with a solemn expression. She felt a strong pressure from him, and there was a faint urge in her heart to approach him and merge with him.
Hermit! No, not completely. Now he only has the status and breath of a "hermit", but does not have the corresponding authority and power.
Bernadette took a deep breath and then looked away. As a being of the same path, she could feel the madness of the other person quietly eroding her. Although it was not serious, her mental state after becoming an angel was not very good, so she should avoid this kind of mental influence.
Feeling his shaky sanity, Renekton took a step forward without hesitation, and his body instantly appeared near the "sun" that was gradually dying.
He stretched out his dark and dry palm, and complex and illusory symbols condensed around him one by one. These symbols quickly sank into the "sun" in front of him, turning into a series of colorless glimmers, wandering in the "sun", disintegrating this "sun" from the inside.
They seemed to belong to this "sun" originally, without being rejected at all. The light of the "sun" became dimmer and even began to fall apart.
Renekton stretched out his left hand, ignoring the space and distance, and directly took the "black hole" that swallowed everything in his hand.
With a slight force on his palm, the "black hole" instantly disintegrated and turned into a pure stream of information. He held it in his hand and condensed it into a colorless spear.
Then he made a throwing motion, and the spear flew out of his hand and accurately pierced into the "sun" in front of him.
Ang!
A shrill and desperate voice came out, and the "sun" completely lost its shape and turned into two scarred and rusty golden horses, dragging a rotten and dilapidated golden carriage behind them.
The eyes of the two horses, which were no longer majestic, revealed human fear. They did not even look in the direction of Renekton. The light accumulated on their bodies and turned into a pure sunlight that was extremely pure and extremely white. They rushed out of the area shrouded by death and rushed in the opposite direction of Renekton.
They were like real light, extremely fast, and in just a moment they arrived at the border of this world in the painting.
The pure sunlight that was extremely pure and extremely white quickly expanded and turned into an extremely white, extremely hot, exaggerated and terrifying sun.
The world in the painting was really ignited and burned like paper, leaving only a swaying, dim flame that reflected in the eyes of the two horses that looked like they were made of gold. The flame was extinguished by a dark and withered hand. Everything that happened just now was like a dream, dissipating along with the flame.
Before the two horses pulling the dilapidated golden carriage could react, Renekton stretched out his right hand again and grasped it with force.
A little pale light appeared on the golden carriage and horses, like traces of cracks. Gold fragments kept falling around and quickly turned into pure information, which was absorbed by Renekton into his palm.
Squeak! Squeak!
Amidst the tiny sounds, the golden carriage quickly became fragmented. Its gaze and its movements seemed to be slowed down countless times, making it difficult to make effective changes.
In just a moment, the original golden carriage disappeared, leaving only the illusory ball of light condensed in Renekton's hand.
A faint light suddenly rose up on Renekton's body, and then quickly converged. Soon, the crazy and ferocious eyes around him disappeared, and under the black robe, a normal human body was revealed again, but the pale blue eyes still retained a mixture of madness and indifference.
Dots of bright starlight were scattered around, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility, and the power to soothe people's hearts.
The madness and coldness in Renekton's eyes gradually faded. After calming down his spirit, he turned his head to look at Bernadette beside him and nodded gently:
"Thank you for your help, otherwise my condition would definitely deteriorate more seriously."
"I didn't do much. This is the compensation left by me when I took away the "Death Announcement" last time."
While speaking, Bernadette looked at the Hermit Card floating quietly in front of Renekton. She stretched out her hand, and this blasphemous card automatically flew into her hand.
After calmly examining the Hermit card for a while, she threw the blasphemous card back in front of Renekton and said,
"Establishing a connection with an existence of that level is a great oppression to your own mental state. The comfort just now cannot directly restore your mental state. You need a period of recuperation and psychological treatment."
Renekton nodded without any expression. Before he completely recovered his mental state, it was difficult for him to make any expression on his face. Cold, indifferent and crazy were his current mental state.
He quietly stared at the illusory light ball supported by his right hand. Without the support of the high-level power, it began to recover from the information state.
Dots of golden light began to emerge, more and more, more and more dense, gradually covering the entire light ball, and it became a miniature light ball the size of a fist, as dazzling as the sun at noon, and it felt a little burning when held in the hand.
Looking at the "Light Chaser" feature in his hand, even though his mental state was not very good now, Renekton still pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile that seemed to have no emotion.
Bright dots reflected from his eyes, flowing around, outlining strange and complex symbols. These symbols gradually shrank inwards, connected to each other to form a whole, tightly wrapped the miniature light ball in Renekton's hand, and finally formed an airtight metal sphere with complex patterns.
After temporarily sealing the "Light Chaser" feature in his hand, Renekton looked up and looked at the damaged world in the painting.
He had no intention of repairing the world in the painting for the time being, but just waved his hand calmly, and the surrounding space quickly faded and faded, and finally turned into a rich and mixed oil painting, which returned to Renekton's hands.
The goal of coming to the ruins of the war of gods is half completed. With a sigh in his heart, Renekton looked down at the sea under his feet. He didn't know if it was his illusion, he felt that the sunlight around him was not as strong as before.
"Night is about to fall. Let's go back to the Future first. I will ask your friend some questions in the dream world."
Bernadette said calmly. As soon as she finished speaking, her body turned into a ray of light that was gathered from countless knowledge, rushing towards the Future.
"The Forsaken Land of God."
".Enter the Forsaken Land of God"
"Here is what you need."
The whispers that had been echoing in her ears suddenly became clear, with extremely restrained, strong malice, full of decadence and madness.
Is Zhen Zao awake? .Rekton looked up at the golden sky with some hesitation. The deep brilliance in his eyes flowed faintly, making his vision clearer:
Under the bright sunlight like noon, a heavy shadow curtain covered everything. Behind the shadow curtain, there seemed to be a deep red eye, watching everything and himself with extremely restrained madness.
The clear mumbling sound in his ears did not last long, and soon became chaotic again. Sometimes it was meaningless mumbling, and sometimes it was a bit confusing Russian.
Renekton looked down expressionlessly, and retracted his gaze from the sky. It was a pity. If I could understand Russian, it would be fine. It was my limit to barely understand a few words. Otherwise, hearing my own mother tongue might help me regain some sanity.
Suppressing the floating thoughts in his heart, he looked at the "Future" that had sailed forward for a distance, slightly sensed the mark he left on the ship, and then gently rubbed his fingers to create pieces of bright starlight.
The twinkling blue starlight quickly gathered in front of him, forming a door painted with complex and strange patterns. The inside of the door seemed dark, but it was vaguely visible that it was the deck of the "Future".
Stepping on the bright starlight that had condensed into substance, Renekton walked towards the door that had just solidified in front.
A burst of blue light flashed, and Renekton appeared directly on the "Future". Chapter 484 Night
As soon as Renekton returned to the "Future", Klein, who was looking for possible traces of mermaids on the deck, looked over.
Before Renekton approached, Klein asked a series of questions:
"What was that thing that brought the intense sunlight just now? Did you solve it? Or, did you get it?"
Renekton nodded with a calm and almost cold expression, and his eyes fell on the fist-sized, sealed metal ball with intricate patterns on the surface in his right hand.
From time to time, a golden-red light would light up on the intricate patterns on the surface of the metal ball, with a scorching temperature and a little bit of the sun's domain.
"That is a magical item corresponding to the 'Light Chaser'. It looks like a golden carriage with a certain degree of living characteristics. It may belong to the ancient sun god, or it may belong to the eternal blazing sun."
Renekton explained briefly, and his figure instantly became transparent, turning into dots of surging starlight that drilled into the deck and rushed to his room in the cabin.
"Light Chaser? Is it Sequence 3 or Sequence 2 of the 'Sun' Path? It should be the latter. The power and weirdness of that sun have surpassed that of an ordinary saint."
While mumbling to himself, he looked at a place seven or eight meters away from him. There was a pirate standing there originally, but after the fierce and dazzling sunlight disappeared, only two black and oily footprints and ashes that had not yet completely dispersed in the air were left where the pirate had stood.
Klein withdrew his gaze from the two black footprints on the deck. In his mind, he roughly restored the pirate's experience just now:
he did not close his eyes in time, but subconsciously took a look at the "sun" in the sky. The moment he saw the true appearance of the "sun", he immediately burned out and burned into a pile of ashes.
In the cabin of the "Future", Renekton changed his clothes, and then borrowed paint and brushes from Cattleya, trying to paint a new picture on the "Van Gogh's Starry Sky" with all kinds of colors changed into a ball and no structure at all.
At this time, Renekton realized that the colors he casually painted could not stay on the drawing paper at all. It seemed that the painting itself was rejecting this low-level, unartistic graffiti.
Renekton sighed with a helpless frown:
"Well. It seems that this painting can't be used until a real painter is found." As
soon as the voice fell, the surroundings suddenly darkened. Outside the window, the sky at noon was completely shrouded in thick darkness in the blink of an eye, and the quiet atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire sea.
"It's coming so fast." Renekton sighed as he looked at the dark and dark environment around him.
He found a place to put down the brush and paint in his hand, and the "Van Gogh's Starry Sky" that had not been restored was also put into the metal iron box prepared in advance.
As Renekton moved in the dark, a layer of bright stars suddenly flashed on the "Future", illuminating the road to various places.
At the same time, Cattleya's calm voice was amplified and reached the ears of everyone on the ship:
"Return to your room, or find a corner and let yourself fall asleep."
"Then wait for natural awakening."
Sleep? What if you don't sleep? Encounter a monster, or some silent danger?
Klein asked himself in confusion, and quickly returned to the cabin, entered his room and lay down.
Renekton, who was already lying on the bed, used meditation to quickly put himself into a state of sleep. As his thoughts blurred, he fell into a vast dream world.
A pair of cold and indifferent eyes without eyelashes, containing countless bright stars, appeared behind him.
Renekton shook his head slightly, and his hazy thoughts gradually became clear. He could clearly feel that he was dreaming now.
After a quick look around, he found himself standing on the roof of a black monastery on the top of the mountain. Looking into the distance, he could also see "Cattleya" sitting on the top of a huge rock with her hands on her knees and looking into the distance.
She didn't make any movement. Because her back was facing the direction of the Black Monastery, Renekton couldn't see her expression, but he could feel the confused emotion emanating from her.
The direction Cattleya was looking at was a mountain covered with countless magnificent and exaggeratedly huge palaces, towers and city walls. In the far distance of the sky was a frozen sunset, which sprinkled the colors of dusk on the mountain where the city was located.
The Giant King's Court! This scenery is more magnificent than I had ever imagined, like a miracle. Renekton looked at the Giant King's Court on the mountain in front of him with a little shock in his eyes.
Klein, wearing a double-breasted long dress and a half-high silk hat, appeared in Renekton's field of vision, interrupting his slightly absent-minded gaze.
Renekton glanced at Klein, who still maintained the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow in his dream. His figure instantly became transparent, and turned into a surging point of bright starlight and appeared beside Klein, and quickly condensed his own figure from the starlight.
He stood calmly on the edge of the cliff, and said in a calm tone:
"That is the projection of the Giant King's Court in the dream."
Klein looked at Renekton who suddenly appeared. Not surprisingly, the other party also remained awake like him. Instead, he asked curiously:
"Giant King's Court? The entrance to the God-Forsaken Land?"
"Why did we appear in the same dream?"
"This is the dream shared by all of us." Cattleya was still sitting on the boulder beside her with her knees hugged. She spoke in a dreamlike tone.
"There is divine power left over from the night. It connects all the dreams in this sea area and constructs a nearly real dream world. Whenever the night falls, all sleeping creatures will enter this dream world, and those who are still awake will be thrown into a secret world."
"I plan to go to the Giant King's Court and try to see if I can use the Giant King's Court in this dream world as a springboard to reach the real Giant King's Court." "It would be great if I had the ability to deceive my mentor. I could cheat the rules and change my position."
After he finished speaking, Renekton nodded to Klein. Then his body instantly became transparent and shattered, turning into twinkling starlight and surging into the distance, surging towards the Giant King's Court frozen in the dusk.
Klein looked at Renekton, who turned into starlight and surging towards the opposite mountain. He then turned his head to look at Cattleya, who was sitting on a boulder with her knees hugged. After a slight hesitation, he said,
"I plan to explore the surrounding area. Maybe there will be some gains."
"Not interested."
"I'll wait here, wait!"
Cattleya refused very straightforwardly. She didn't shake her head or make any unnecessary movements. She just sat quietly with her knees hugged, looking a little lonely.
Madam, isn't this what a mature pirate general should say? In a half-asleep and half-awake state, Klein observed Cattleya, and after pondering twice in his heart, he turned around and walked towards the black monastery behind him.
On the mountain shrouded in dusk, the buildings were covered with a layer of golden color, which looked sacred and magnificent.
The bright starlight surged in the sky, like a flowing galaxy, but it never closed the distance between him and the mountain. It was like a sunset in the distance, always standing there quietly, always visible, but never reaching.
In the sky, the surging starlight condensed in an instant, re-condensing the figure of Renekton. Under his feet, there was a layer of urging starlight that condensed into substance, quietly floating his body.
"The Giant King's Court in the dream is just an illusion? You can see it, but you can never get close to it?"
He whispered in a low voice, and a deep blue and purple brilliance flowed in Renekton's eyes. His eyes became extremely sacred and extremely indifferent.
Under the gaze of the Eye of Secrets, the entire dream world in Renekton's eyes became a product of the convergence of complex and overlapping information.
He looked calmly at the Giant King's Court that he could never get close to, and his eyes gradually became deeper and gradually covered with a layer of silver.
In the Giant King's court, the frozen dusk changed, as if it had suddenly come alive. The golden glow became brighter and brighter, and a very blurry huge figure walked out of the sunset.
It was so huge that just standing there, it almost filled the entire dusk, as if wearing a golden and red cloak full of desolation and desolation.
Before this figure became clear, the dazzling sunlight suddenly lit up, illuminating everything with a brilliant white, and then faded and disappeared.
On the "Future", Renekton opened his eyes naturally. The room was already illuminated by the light from the window. He didn't need to look to know that it was noon outside again.
He didn't get up from the bed immediately, but put his hands under his head and fell into deep thought:
This noon came at a good time. If it was a little later, I would have seen the true appearance of the Giant King.
Unfortunately, the power left by the night has its own hidden effect, so I can't trace the mystical connection between the Giant King's Court in the dream and the Giant King's Court in reality. I can only try to go to the dream world next night. If it still doesn't work, I can only chat with Zhenzao and ask for help.
After staying in the room for a while, Renekton felt Klein next door go out for a while and then come back to lie down again. He looked at the next door with a little doubt, but didn't cast his eyes over.
Is he going to sleep again? Want to communicate with the still growing baby?
The thought floated through his mind, Renekton got up, put on his coat, and went out to the restaurant on the ship.
In the restaurant, due to the delay in the dream just now, the food on the plates of the pirates who had not finished lunch had already cooled down, but they were still eating happily, and they were still talking about the wonderful encounters in the dream just now while eating.
Renekton looked around the restaurant, and then sat next to the black cat Pass.
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
Paz looked up at Renekton who suddenly sat next to him, and greeted him in surprise. He moved the dried fish in front of him a little further away with his two paws.
Renekton noticed Paz's little action, raised the corner of his mouth, and tried to force a smile, but in the end he didn't smile. He said in a flat tone:
"I'm not greedy for your dried fish. You've been at sea for so long, aren't you tired of eating dried fish?"
"Why would I get tired of it? This is dried fish! Each kind of dried fish made from sea fish has a different flavor. Different time and different manufacturing processes will also bring different tastes. How can I get tired of it!"
Paz answered Renekton's question while curiously looking at him from top to bottom, as if he wanted to see something.
After a long while, it hesitated and said,
"Why are you so strange today? It seems that you can't even laugh, and your tone is flat, like a robot without emotions."
"I don't like to laugh."
He replied calmly, and glanced calmly at Pas who was staring at him as if he had seen a ghost. He reached around it and took a small dried fish from the plate it was protecting behind him and took a bite. Chapter 485: Unlucky Anderson.
Paz glared at Renekton with his teeth bared. When Renekton thought that he was going to rush over to scratch his face to protect the dried fish, he turned around and took the remaining dried fish in his plate and jumped to the table on the other side of the restaurant with a light and smooth movement.
"Haha, Al, you still like to tease it so much."
Nina, who was originally sitting on the other side of Paz, laughed at this scene.
As her upper body rose and fell, the exaggerated size of her chest swayed up and down a few times. The pirates around were attracted by this scene and couldn't take their eyes off.
Nina also noticed this scene. She didn't restrain herself. Instead, she straightened her already proud chest and said in a contemptuous tone:
"Why? Do any of you want to spend the night with me in the same room tonight?"
The pirates around swallowed their saliva in unison, their expressions were very excited, but a little restrained. After all, sleeping in the same room might mean that one was on the bed and the other was under the bed. They had all been tricked by Nina to a certain extent.
When the atmosphere in the restaurant was about to become ambiguous, Cattleya's voice suddenly came, and under the addition of the spell, it echoed throughout the "Future".
"There is an island two miles ahead. We will dock there and wait until the storm passes."
"In this ocean, every time noon and night alternate, there is a high possibility of a terrible storm. I'm not sure when it will come, but I think it's safer to wait until it passes before continuing to sail."
Cattleya's explanation this time was much more detailed than before, and the pirates on the ship had no objection. The sailors who had finished lunch began to prepare for the docking under the command of the navigator Ottolov and the boatswain Nina.
After most of the sailors in the restaurant had left, Klein sat down next to Renekton with a plate. While he lowered his head to eat lunch, he asked curiously:
"What did you explore in the giant king's court in your dream?"
"It's impossible to get close." Renekton answered simply.
"Can't get close? Why?" Klein looked up in confusion. He thought the other party had at least reached the opposite mountain. Although the darkness just now did not last long, it was still half an hour.
"I don't know. Maybe it was just a projection in a dream and did not really exist in the dream."
Renekton shook his head and looked out the window at the sunny day.
Without wasting too much time, the "Future" adjusted its course and came to the side of an island covered with tall trees, and finally docked on the leeward side of the island.
In less than half an hour, the originally sunny noon became dark, and heavy dark clouds appeared one after another, quickly covering the entire sky. Boom
!
Amid the huge roar, a dazzling silver-white fell.
The violent wind collided with the air, making an explosive sound. The airflow turned rapidly in circles, and the unrestrained tornado suddenly rose from the ground. It connected the clouds above and the sea below, like a terrifying giant that wanted to destroy everything.
The tornado brought with it waves as big as hills, as if to break through all obstacles. Lightning bolts as thick as tree trunks struck one after another, some falling on the sea, some on the islands, setting off sporadic flames, which were quickly extinguished by the strong wind and rain.
The "Future" was constantly rising and falling in the terrifying storm that was like the end of the world. The raindrops fell on the deck, giving the pirates who were taking shelter in the cabin the illusion of being submerged.
In the restaurant, Renekton, who was sitting on a wooden chair, threw up a transparent and bright crystal ball. The bright starlight in the crystal ball was reflected, and stars flashed around the Future one after another, with an indescribable sense of heaviness, distorting the surrounding gravity, making the waves near the impact road disappear into thin air.
Klein looked at the transparent crystal ball floating in the air with some surprise, feeling the sudden heaviness on his body, and fell into deep thought for a while:
Which path and sequence does the magical item that can manipulate gravity correspond to?
It shouldn't be the path of the Secret Peepers. Both Al and the Hermit showed extraordinary abilities related to starlight, but they didn't involve gravity. And judging from the performance of this crystal ball, its corresponding strength is only about Sequence 4. The core ability of the Secret Peepers at this stage is "Mysterious Reappearance". The path of the Generalist that
can be interchanged with the Secret Peepers? Not likely. The Emperor's diary didn't mention anything related to it. And judging from the performance of the Steam Church's extraordinary people, their extraordinary abilities are mostly related to machinery.
The storm on the sea didn't last too long. About a quarter of an hour later, the tornado connecting the sea and the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, the waves subsided, and the midday sun once again covered the sea.
Cattleya walked to the window of the captain's room at a moderate pace. She looked at the island ahead calmly, and then said,
"You can go to the island for some activities, but you can't go deep into it. You must be within the range of the artillery."
"Great!"
"Long live the captain!"
The pirates on the ship shouted excitedly. Some of them went to the island in groups, and some lay on the deck to relax.
Stepping on the soft beach, enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze, Renekton suddenly felt a sense of relief from his suppressed emotions.
Enjoying life is the best way to treat psychological problems. With a sigh in his heart, Renekton stopped and rubbed his fingers gently, creating pieces of shining starlight around him. These starlights condensed instantly and formed a beach chair with the right angle.
After lying down on the beach chair with condensed starlight, he created some dim starlight above his head to make the sunlight less dazzling.
Renekton's action quickly attracted the attention of others around him. The black cat Paz quickly got under the beach chair made of starlight, and lay on the soft sand with his belly facing up, with a human-like expression of enjoyment on his face.
Is this guy on vacation? Klein's mouth twitched slightly. If it weren't for maintaining his persona as Gehrman Sparrow in front of others, he would have walked over and asked the other party to get him a beach chair.
Cattleya looked at this scene with a slightly complicated expression. After getting a little closer, she spoke:
"The magical item you used to calm the waves before, which path does it correspond to? I have never seen the ability to manipulate gravity in any extraordinary person."
Hearing Cattleya's question, Klein, who was about to walk away, stopped. He was also curious about this question.
Renekton chuckled twice, and stretched out his right hand towards the dim starlight above his head. As he twisted his hand slightly, the starlight evolved into a bright night sky.
Looking at the night sky in front of him, he said in a calm voice: "Astronomy enthusiast, it's normal that you haven't seen it, because it is not in the twenty-two divine paths."
"The sequence corresponding to that crystal ball is called 'Heavy One', which has the ability to change the gravity of a planet. Of course, it can only change the gravity within a certain range. If you want to change the gravity of an entire planet, you need at least sequence 0."
"Not in the twenty-two divine paths?" Cattleya widened her eyes slightly, looking a little unbelievable. This information has broken her common sense of mysticism.
"Why is it not in the twenty-two paths?" Klein couldn't help but ask curiously.
Without waiting for an answer, Klein suddenly turned his gaze to the other side. His intuition detected a figure approaching.
He was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and black pants. He was a young man of medium build with blond hair and blue eyes.
Klein's pupils shrank and he had recognized the other person.
Without hesitation, he took out a talisman made of white tin from his right pocket and recited an ancient Hermetic word:
"Storm!"
With the infusion of spirituality, the talisman made of white tin immediately became prickly, as if it had grown tiny blades.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several light blue sharp blades shot out, all of which shot towards the young man who was waving happily with a smile not far away.
Before the young man on the opposite side could speak, he felt the danger and rolled to the side and front with a sharp movement, avoiding the wind blades that attacked him.
"Stop! Stop!"
"I have no hostility!"
The young man not far away shouted loudly while dodging the wind blades with agility.
"Anderson Hood?"
Cattleya looked at the person who suddenly appeared here with some doubts and said the other party's name.
Klein looked at Cattleya beside him in surprise. He did not rush to activate the talisman in his hand, but said in a deep voice:
"I met him in my dreams at night, and he has mutated."
"He is just a little unlucky, but nothing bad has happened to him that is bad enough to cause him to mutate."
Renekton, who was lying on the beach chair formed by starlight, spoke in a flat voice to explain for Anderson Hood on the opposite side.
Anderson raised his hands to indicate that he was not in danger, and approached cautiously, saying,
"Yes, yes, that's right. I'm just unlucky."
"Besides, if I had gone to explore, how could I have survived?"
"I just wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Don't you think the environment at that time was very suitable for telling some horror stories? It's just that before I could explain it to you and ask for help, the dream ended. Damn it! I'm so unlucky!"
This was indeed unlucky. Klein muttered in his heart, and reluctantly accepted the other party's explanation.
"He is very famous in the Misty Sea and has the title of 'The Strongest Hunter'. You can listen to what he encountered."
Cattleya looked at Anderson opposite and said in a calm tone.
"No, not the strongest hunter."
Anderson shook his head seriously, then laughed twice and added:
"If you insist on calling me 'Admiral of the Stars', you'd better add a qualifier in front: below demigod."
"I am the strongest hunter below demigod!"
"Hehe, below demigod? You haven't been beaten by the 'shepherd', right? Well, you probably haven't met the Master of Secret Puppet and the Traveler."
Renekton, lying on the beach chair condensed by starlight, said disdainfully without any ups and downs.
Klein glanced at him sideways, thinking of the elder Lovia in the City of Silver. The 'shepherds' who have herded enough or powerful souls can indeed be called the strongest Beyonders below demigod. They are powerful and comprehensive.
"Uh" Anderson was stunned. He looked at Renekton with a serious look. Whether it was the other party's leisurely vacation posture or the vague sense of danger on his body, he felt that the other party was very scary.
Demigod, this guy is a demigod, or he is carrying a very dangerous magical item. These thoughts flashed through Anderson's mind, and he chuckled twice in a flattering way:
"I have indeed never encountered these types of extraordinary people you mentioned. What is special about them? They are the strongest extraordinary people below the demigod level that you consider."
Cattleya pushed the heavy glasses on her nose and said in a flat voice:
"The 'Shepherd' can devour the souls of others, including resentful souls and evil spirits, into their bodies, and drive these souls in a unique way, just like shepherding lambs for the gods. How much ability they have depends only on how many extraordinary souls they devour." Anderson's
expression froze for a moment, then shrugged and sighed:
"Well, this is indeed very powerful, but it's a pity that there is no shepherd on the sea to compete with me for the title of the strongest hunter, otherwise I would be happy to give him this title."
"What about the Secret Master and the Traveler? What kind of extraordinary abilities do they have?"
