Klein took a deep breath and walked to the city gate without looking back.
No matter how bad your mood is, you still have to do what you need to do, and you still have to work hard to save people.
If Amon wanted to torture him rather than anger him, he would not parasitize the entire city. At most, he would engage in some half-truths and half-false scams to confuse his judgment and try to get Klein to kill several people.
An innocent man, destroy his faith.
Klein could think of Amon's methods of torturing him, and he could also guess what would happen next... But even if he was fully mentally prepared, he still felt that his shoulders had become so heavy that he could hardly move forward.
leg.
He didn't know whether he could bear the lives of these dead people.
That’s all, it’s up to people to plan things, and it’s up to Heaven to make things happen.
Not to mention people from Moon City and Silver City, even if I were to stay here, there would be nothing I could do about it - all I can do now is probably pray that the fate of "becoming Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" will have some effect, so that
He will die if he can't save anyone else.
"The high priest is waiting for you in the city."
As he approached, the Moon City resident closest to Klein raised his head with a friendly smile on his face. He seemed to want to raise his hand to do something, but was immediately suppressed:
"Please come with me."
Klein quietly turned on his spiritual vision and saw that the spiritual threads of the people around him were floating naturally in the air. There were no traces of the spiritual threads that were layered like water plants inside Moon City being controlled by others. It seemed that they were controlled by others.
, although Amon has obtained part of the "divineer" ability through Source Castle, it has not been distributed to his other clones, or in other words, it cannot be shared directly, and corresponding means must be available.
"If there was an angel-level Amon here, he would definitely have attacked me long ago and would not have tricked me into the city, unless he wanted to see my desperate expression... Well, I am not Amon, so I can't guarantee that he will
It’s not that perverted, it’s better to be careful.”
"Even if there is, as long as he doesn't take action, I can assume that the highest combat power Amon in Moon City is Sequence 3, but there may be more than one."
Amon is completely caught in a trap. Although he doesn’t want to admit it, no matter what situation it is, it is very difficult... No, for me now, or for any ordinary "ancient scholar", it is actually a death without a life.
?
"Where is the high priest?"
Klein's face remained unmoved, but he was muttering in his heart.
He himself is a person who prefers to complain in his heart, and now he needs to use the behavior of complaining to relieve some of his inner pressure.
The Moon City resident closest to him quickly said:
"The high priest is currently in the high tower in the city, and our ceremony dedicated to the 'Fool' and the 'Omniscient and Almighty Lord' is being prepared. Your Excellency, envoy of God, if you are looking for the high priest, we will go immediately to inform you."
A high tower? There is also a round tower in Silver City. Is this an architectural style from ancient times, or is it for some other reason... Klein's history expertise kicked in, and after thinking for a second, he nodded expressionlessly.
:
"There is no need to inform the high priest."
"Just take me directly into the city."
Go for a walk around the city, look at the distribution map of the buildings in the city, and plan an escape route... Speaking of which, I have never seen the layout and facilities of Silver City with my own eyes. These are considered secrets. Both cities are not too big, and they are small.
Although "Sun" drew a rough layout for me, I have almost forgotten it now. Well, if I can solve the matter in Yuecheng alive, I can use dream divination to remember it...
"OK."
The Moon City resident said excitedly. He took the initiative to turn aside to lead Gehrman Sparrow. He did not have any weird expressions or movements, and all his reactions were very normal. There was no sign of being parasitized at all: "Please follow
I come."
The other people who greeted the divine envoy also started to move around. Klein didn't say anything. He slowed down and followed behind with the dim animal skin lantern in his hand. He slowly entered the building that was already standing in the darkness.
An ancient city thousands of years old.
When passing through the several-meter-thick city wall and fortifications, Klein thought of what he had seen along the way and couldn't help but ask:
"In the original darkness, is the probability of the city being attacked high?"
The young resident walking in front of him immediately replied: "There have been several attacks in history, but I have never seen them."
A companion next to him immediately picked up the conversation and said with a smile: "It's a good thing we haven't seen it, otherwise we might not be alive now! Children born now are even more blessed. They can see the sun when they open their eyes and have safe food."
Mushrooms..." He paused, turned his head, looked at Klein with clear eyes, and answered the question he just asked, "Your Excellency, God Envoy, in fact, the probability of the entire city being attacked in the dark is not high.
Lights and candles can prevent the dangerous pure darkness from approaching, but at the same time, they also make the city a huge target that cannot move..."
"In addition, although most exploration teams have the technology to hide aura and eliminate traces, accidents will still happen. It is inevitable that some monsters with enough intelligence or tracking power will follow them close to the city... every time
It’s all a disaster!”
Monsters have no fear of pure darkness. They live in darkness and will only try to extinguish those lights.
The extinguishing of the light is naturally a devastating blow to the city residents who were once immersed in darkness.
"I heard that monsters took the form of humans and sneaked in in history." Another person added, "It seems to have caused huge disasters, so we now include related monsters in general textbooks.
Introduction.”
"And that giant wolf, it's too scary." Some people were still frightened, "Fortunately, it didn't follow us back to Moon City!"
Monsters disguised as humans, treacherous monsters, ghosts in human skin?
Klein did not participate in their chat, but only asked a few questions from time to time and listened to their conversation as if listening to a story.
I don’t know if it’s his own psychological effect, but Klein always feels that these people’s conversations are too smooth. After the first person finishes speaking, the next person will quickly pick up the conversation, as if they are a group of actors who have arranged a script, and even
He had never "interrupted others' speeches"... Klein gave up thinking. These small details could not lead to any conclusion, but Amon probably just wanted to use these small details to consume his energy.
While chatting, they entered the city.
The sun has set, and torches and lanterns are lit from house to house, illuminating most of the city as bright as day.
The streets are very clean. Judging from the expressions of other people, it seems that such cleanliness is not an everyday phenomenon, but that it was specially cleaned before the festival.
The main road is paved with stones of different sizes, regardless of whether it is a small road or a dirt road. You can also step on some unknown small weeds and stones while walking on it. This kind of touch is something that Klein has not seen for a long time.
Brightly colored animal skins, teeth of beasts, and polished bones were hung among the surrounding old and heavy stone houses. They were illuminated by lanterns or torches, revealing a rough and crazy aesthetic unique to the mainland.
, the ancient atmosphere blows in your face.
Klein admired these animal teeth and bones that had been polished into various shapes, and felt a little bit of sadness while marveling.
If you can take them out, you must buy some cloth for them and let them wear normal clothes. He thought.
People coming and going all have smiles on their faces, and the few children and teenagers are also talking and laughing in groups, full of expectations for the upcoming festival - before the glory of "The Fool" arrives, there are people in Moon City.
And the only festival is the "Sun Festival" to worship the sun god. It is also the only happy moment in a hard and stressful year. Now, people have another "Fool's Festival" to celebrate.
The people here live a precarious life, struggling in the long dark night with no future in sight. Thousands of years have passed, and they still spend every day with fear as remnants of ancient times. The only thing that makes this stagnant water
The atmosphere was slightly livened up by the ceremony of worshiping the gods. Both adults and children were looking forward to this long-lost celebration and the arrival of happiness.
Klein was infected by such emotions, and his cold expression softened slightly.
"Your Majesty the Envoy of God, everyone is looking forward to the festival." A person turned his head and looked at Klein expectantly, but his tone was a little sad, "This is probably our last festival, we will leave soon.
Here, away from home, right?"
Klein has given up on judging whether this is a hint or whether it is Amon, and said with a mentality of soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth:
"This is what the Lord and most people want."
After saying that, he didn't give the others a chance to continue asking questions, and said directly: "I want to see this city by myself, and I don't need you to follow me."
The others were stunned for a moment: "No problem."
Klein immediately turned around, left the group of people, and walked toward other parts of the city. After the initial surprise and admiration, Klein quickly discovered the problem with Moon City. The city was too lacking in color—
—There are no real ribbons and paint, resulting in a lack of recognition between houses. Even the decorative pendants and animal skins are basically the same. In addition, Moon City is also a fortress city, with alleys extending in all directions.
Few. If you don’t live here for a long time, you will definitely get lost quickly after coming here.
There are no flying insects or birds in the Land Abandoned by God, and it is not convenient for Klein to transform into a few marionettes to help him observe the terrain, so he has to go alone.
In fact, there is no point in looking for an escape route. Amon can directly steal my idea of "escape" and freeze me in place... Although he thought so, Klein still quickly walked around the Moon City a few times and remembered it.
Approximate route.
There are probably more than 10,000 people in this city, and now almost everyone has walked out. It is indeed crowded, but it is not overcrowded.
After drawing a more detailed route map in his mind, Klein began to move towards the square in the center of the city. As he passed through a place that seemed to be a health clinic, a middle-aged man happened to come out of the house.
Prepare to lock the door and leave.
He was holding something like a magnifying glass in his hand. At first glance, Klein looked like a monocle and was almost shocked.
The middle-aged man turned around and was startled when he saw Klein, who was dressed completely different from the Moon City people, and then said:
"Are you, Your Majesty the Envoy of God?"
