Chapter 1081: Decision
"The River of Eternal Darkness."
Xifa looked around with the figure projected by the 'mirror illusion'.
He saw that the river in front of him was extremely blurry and difficult to see clearly.
This is because it is still surrounded by a gray mist.
This thin air blocked the river like a barrier.
but.
Part of the river's water penetrated the gray mist, and the river water and the mist merged to a certain extent, making this part of the river dark for a while, and pale for a while.
The water of this tributary is constantly rolled up and then poured down.
On both sides of the tributary, there are many huge pale stone pillars that rise above the river, as if they are supporting something, preventing that unknown thing from collapsing.
Between these stone pillars, at the edge of the tributary, innumerable vague and translucent figures walked back and forth.
These figures slowly wandered beside the tributaries of the 'River of Eternal Darkness', but none of them stopped to rest.
It seems like it will hang around like this forever.
Among those figures, Xifa saw a huge figure at first sight.
Sometimes it went deep into the tributary, sometimes it turned back, but in any case it could not get out of the river.
This huge figure is similar to the surrounding stone pillars. It is covered with a deep black robe and has an old face on the side.
Seemingly aware of the existence of Xifa, it suddenly turned its head and looked over.
From this, Xifa also saw that the face of this figure had obvious characteristics of the Southern Continent, but the face was extremely rotten, and feathers stained with light butter stains grew out one after another.
Although he has never seen it before, Xifa is sure that this figure is the "Reaper" of the Fourth Epoch, or Salinger known as the "Emperor of the Underworld"!
Sure enough, as the evil spirit Friskin said, Salinger has not completely disappeared, and he left the only "death mark" in the river of eternal darkness.
It seems that he has been wandering here for a long time, but he can't get out of the river of eternal darkness, and he can't really recover.
Salinger glanced at Sifa and then looked away. It seemed that Sifa would not be difficult to arouse his interest. His pale eyes, which were about to be extinguished at any time, looked into the depths of the tributary again.
The old "Reaper" let out a deep roar, which echoed over the tributary, making Xifa feel the ground shaking obviously.
Salinger walked deep into the tributary again. Although he was not interested in Sifa, his roar made the water in this tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness suddenly rise.
The river quickly rushed to the end of the stone steps, and in the process, these illusory tides combined with the gray mist even more, making the river appear gray.
The gray torrent came surging, Xifa didn't dare to be careless, and retreated up the steps.
However, the high tide was rising rapidly, forcing Xifa to retreat to a higher place. He saw the vague figures wandering on both sides of the tributary, a large part of which was swept to the center of the tributary by the high tide.
Those figures didn't struggle in the river, but they all sank to the bottom of the river and melted like frost.
Xifa believes that if he gets involved, it will definitely be ugly.
And even if it is a projection, it may affect the main body far outside Calderon City.
So he built a wall of ice in front of him, trying to stop the 'tide'.
When the tide hit the ice wall, Sifa's original ice wall with the concept of 'freezing' quickly 'died' in the gray tide.
Seeing that the tide was about to surge and it was difficult to stop, Xifa made a decisive decision and lifted the projection.
Outside the city of Calderon, Sifa sent an order for them to return through their contact with the 'soldiers'.
Among them, those 'soldiers' who did not hold sealed items or magical items were all recovered by Xifa in advance.
The rest are demigods or angels, and the monsters on the return journey can't stop them at all.
soon.
They join Sifa.
Xifa took back all the items, and then recovered these time projections, and returned to the real world directly with the 'Box of the Old Days', and let Mr. X use the 'Teleport' to return to Abydos.
It was night when we returned to Abydos.
This exploration took a day, and the harvest was good.
At least it was confirmed that there is a tributary of the "River of Eternal Darkness" at the bottom of Calderon City, and that "Underworld" Salinger was also seen.
But because of the existence of the 'River of Eternal Darkness', Xifa couldn't get close to Salinger, and couldn't confirm whether the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' could be accommodated in that figure.
"Freeman said that there is Sullinger's materialism in that palace, and maybe it can be used."
"However, even if you get the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest', judging from Salinger's state, it must be polluted."
"That's exactly what the Watcher said."
"So now, there is no need to rush to confirm the uniqueness."
"Before that, I can try to find and accommodate the other two 'Sequence 1' Extraordinary characteristics."
"That way I will be stronger than I am now, and I will be more confident in obtaining uniqueness or accommodating uniqueness than now."
Sifa sat down, thinking about the characteristics of the two Sequence 1s.
"The watchers mentioned that the remaining two Sequence 1 characteristics."
"One copy will be handed over to Medici by Amon, and the red angel evil spirit will use this uniqueness to reach the level of Sequence 1."
"Although it is troublesome, it is not invincible, and one of his original three souls was scattered by the 'Storm Lord'."
"His structure will definitely be affected. He will be more unstable than before, more likely to lose control or go crazy."
"It's not difficult to find him. Katerina knows his honorable name, and I can use his honorable name to lock the position."
"However, this is always a 'conqueror.'"
"The safest course of action should be to find another Sequence 1 feature, first accommodate the improvement of strength, and then go to Medici for trouble."
Xifa tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "The watcher said that another copy of the Sequence 1 characteristic may be in the hands of the Jagged Cross. It seems that I have to go to Intis."
After making a decision, Sifer began to deal with Abydos' affairs.
The mood of the residents in the city is basically stable now, and they are willing to serve Xifa and participate in various tasks.
In addition, the two churches of 'Storm Church' and 'War Church' have already started construction.
If there is no accident, it can be put into use in two to three months.
The teachings and dogmas of the "Church of War" have basically been determined, and the power structure has also been established. Now it has begun to preach to the residents of Abydos.
And the first batch of 'War Priests' were selected from the demihumans and the army, and they were held by those with firm beliefs.
Therefore, there are not many affairs that Xifa really has to deal with.
in it.
The most important thing is naturally to leave Abydos and start exploring the vast world behind the star plateau.
therefore.
Xifa intends to set up an exploration team, which will be composed of warriors, Extraordinary and 'War Priests'.
During the quest, he will also spread his faith.
