Chapter 59 The Truth Behind the Fall of the Floating City (9/9)

After the private chat between Abner and Miss "Justice" ended, everyone began to teach the little "Sun" the ancient Hermetic language as usual, and learned some knowledge in the field of mysticism from each other.

Time passed quickly. After everyone stopped in tacit agreement, Klein the Fool looked around and said:

"That's it."

"Follow your will." "Justice" Audrey stood up immediately, raised her skirt and saluted, and the other members were almost in no particular order with her.

After watching the blurry figures disappear in front of his eyes, and even Mr. Fool was respectfully sent away, Klein looked at the only figure who was still here besides himself, and asked directly:

"Do you know the magic potion formula for the 'Soothsayer' pathway sequence 4?"

"I know." Abner nodded first, and then said in a rather regretful tone, "But you asked too late... I can't tell you now."

Hearing this, Klein frowned. Although he had some guesses, he still asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

Abner thought for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he said thoughtfully: "You should still remember the reward given by the goddess after the incident on the first floor of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower', right?"

Klein pretended to be serious and asked, "Which goddess?"

In that incident, there were quite a few goddesses related to you...the earth goddess, the ancient god of the blood race, the goddess of the night...

Abner was speechless and wanted to roll his eyes because he was sure that Klein was deliberately looking for trouble.

"If there is no specific reference, I usually refer to the goddess of night as the goddess." He said expressionlessly.

"Goddess... I remember that He sent an oracle to Ms. Daly, asking Mr. Fool's favored one, that is, me, to find a way to enter behind the Chanis Gate of St. Samuel's Church... For this reason, I also specially Help Dunn prepare a wealthy identity so that I can do things in the future." Klein said thoughtfully, "Does this have anything to do with the magician's potion formula?"

Although he asked this question, Klein had actually determined that the two must be related, because when he asked Arrods, he got the same result.

"This should be a test for you by the goddess... and the biggest reward is the magic potion formula of the Demigod Queen from the 'divineer' path... Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to interfere." Abner spread his hands, saying that he was helpless.

You razor-sharp ears, can't you help me blow my pillow? Klein muttered under his breath, then said: "So, Dwayne Dantès... no, he is the captain. He should soon hand over that identity to me?"

Abner nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, he will receive the oracle again soon to complete a new mission."

This is not pure speculation, but on the day he stayed with Feilina last week, Abner happened to see Dunn accompanying his wife to the museum, observed part of their "destiny", and knew that Dunn would leave Backlund soon. .

As for his whereabouts, due to insufficient information, Abner only received the word "North" as a revelation.

"That's all we have to do..." Klein sighed. He knew that although Abner had experienced many lives and seemed very powerful, he could not disobey the true God's will... The same was true for him.

The only good thing is that the goddess is probably a fellow from the earth. Even if she is not close to Liu Bo, she won't embarrass me too much... right?

The more Klein thought about it, the less confident he became. He wished that Liu Bo could take the initiative and give him the formula directly, but this was just a thought... After he sighed helplessly again, he continued to ask:

"Do you know what the exact definition of 'complete mythical creature' is?"

“For a demigod, one of the characteristics of losing control is that he loses his mind and can no longer control his mythical creature form.

"However, the saint's mythical creature form is not complete, and it still has obvious original racial characteristics. Strictly speaking, it must reach Sequence 2 to be considered a true mythical creature...

"Of course, some path saints can transform into 'incomplete mythical creature forms' to fight enemies for a short period of time... such as 'audience', such as 'demon', such as 'reader'..."

Abner replied patiently.

He had read a lot of Russell's diaries related to 'Liu Bo' at Klein before, so he owed him a lot of favors, so he would naturally answer the questions seriously.

"Sequence 2...an angel!" Klein sighed with emotion, then glanced at the paper cranes placed in the debris pile, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

However, he still asked cautiously: "Is Ms. Hermit asking for the blood of a mythical creature to complete a certain ritual?"

"Yes, Ms. Hermit is currently a Sequence 5 Astrologer. The ritual for her to advance to demigod requires the complete analysis of a drop of blood of a mythical creature and obtain complex and huge knowledge from it." Abner is very "written" " replied.

Your answer is very written... If this wasn't a different world, I would have thought you used some encyclopedia and read it to me literally! While secretly complaining, Klein nodded slightly, then stopped continuing this topic and turned to talk about the changes that had taken place in the "Floating City" in the "Sea of ​​Gods' War Ruins".

He knew that the "Floating City" was inextricably linked to a certain part of Liu Bo's life, so this could be considered reciprocating and thanked the other party for the answer he had just given.

Hearing this, Abner straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, and repeated: "You mean, shortly after Mr. Fool helped little Sun escape from trouble, the dream about the 'God War Ruins' The empty city burst out with light like the 'sun'?"

Klein nodded and said firmly: "That's right."

It seems that the "Morning Star City" in the afternoon town of "Nightmare" and the "Floating City" in the sea dream of "God War Ruins" are much closer than I imagined!

This should be the work of the 'Disaster Seal'...

But okay, in this way, it should be easier than expected to swap the positions of the virtual and real, one inside and one outside, the two "floating cities" in the dream... After all, they have mystical knowledge. contact on.

After pondering for a moment, Abner asked Klein more about the "Floating City".

Klein recalled it for a while, and suddenly a mural appeared. On the mural was a sea of ​​burning flames, which split from the middle, creating a road.

There was a long procession on the road, with members bowing their heads or kneeling on the ground, appearing extremely pious.

And at the end of the road, above the looming palace complex, there is a floating inverted mountain peak!

The leader of the team, a tall and thin man with long silver hair, soft features, closed eyes, and layers of wings behind his back, raised his hand and pointed directly at the floating mountain peak.

This is undoubtedly the mural left by Ourolius of shooting down the floating city.

"So that's it... The fall of the 'Mechanical Emperor' was not an accident, but the secret work of Ouro Leus. This made Evans, who had undergone mechanical transformation, fall into 'bad luck'. The energy core that was originally very safe could explode for no reason... …

“The subsequent scuffle between the ‘Great Emperor Sect’ demigods and the ‘Zhenzhao’ sect demigods, and even the fall of the Morning Star… was probably because of this!

"Why did Ourolius attack me?

“Based on my understanding of myself, since I allowed the construction of the church of the ‘True Creator’ on the floating city, I must have reached some kind of tacit agreement with the true God who only has fallen human nature.

"And this tacit understanding is not difficult to guess. There is a high probability that the 'True Creator' wants to use my specialness, that is, the identity of the 'Unknown Land' behind the 'Pure White Eyes', to open the 'Giant King's Court' That door inside...

"The reason why I stationed 'Morning Star City' above Afternoon Town is probably because, as the 'Mechanical Emperor', I am old and frail and in urgent need of mechanical transformation; secondly, it is also because I am waiting for the 'True Creator' The believers go looking for the 'key' lost in the outside world.

"But why was this tacit understanding destroyed by the 'Angel of Destiny' Ouroleus?

"Well, the 'True Creator' wants to open that door alone. As His other half, Adam certainly cannot allow it...

"So, if we make a bold assumption, it should be that Ourolius has just returned from the outside world to lead believers, and he is not aware of the tacit understanding between the 'Mechanical Emperor' and his 'Lord'. Therefore, he was used by 'Adam' Is this cognitive gap 'arranged'?

“I thought it was too exaggerated to have four churches of the True Creator in the small ‘Morning Star City’, and they all proclaimed themselves popes, so they obviously have their own doctrines.

"This may be because they 'listened' to different content and did not have professional guidance from the gods, so they went to extremes.

"And 'I' obviously didn't pay attention to their differences, and might even be happy to see them come to fruition...

“But in the eyes of devout believers like ‘Angel of Destiny’ Ouroleus, this situation is complete blasphemy!

"If this hypothesis is true, then the fall of 'Morning Star City' is inevitable...

"After all, neither Adam nor the three gods, not even the goddess, Lilith, God of War, or even the 'God of Steam and Machinery' want to see the 'True Creator' get the 'blasphemous tablet'.

“I most likely expected this, but I still wanted to try my luck, so I made two preparations.

“In the darkness, the wonders of civilization are destroyed by corruption…

“I originally thought that ‘fall’ refers to the fall of the human heart, but also means the ‘true creator’…

"But now that I think about it, it has a third meaning... For the 'True Creator', the real 'fall' is actually 'Adam', right?!"

At this point, Abner has finally figured out the causes and consequences of "Morning Star Falls" and has some new considerations on how to bring "Morning Star City" into reality in the future.

Thinking of this, Abner looked at Klein, smiled and asked, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Klein thought for a while and asked casually: "Do you know who Frank Lee's parents are on Ms. Hermit's ship?"

Hearing this, Abner was stunned for a few seconds and asked calmly: "Why do you care about this?"

"He is my friend...and there is something special about him..." Klein directly relayed Bernadette's words without thinking too much.

After listening, Abner held his chin and thought carefully, then frowned and replied:

"Frank...he should be Lamia's adopted son..."
