Chapter 61
The carriage was driving slowly on the road, and Audrey's gaze unconsciously turned to the window again.
Many pedestrians stood on the side of the road, staring at the horses pulling the carts, with green light in their eyes, and the lucky ones who successfully received the food veiled across the street and ran to the place where they were.
Teams of police officers in black and white checkered uniforms patrol the streets, with revolvers on their waists and short sticks in their hands, shocking the guys who want to take risks.
"We don't dare to go out on the street alone..." Annie, the maid next to Audrey, whispered.
Audrey nodded lightly and did not respond.
After a while, the carriage came to Pacefield Street and stopped at the edge of the square in front of St. Samuel's Church.
There, the flocks of white pigeons have disappeared, and it is completely empty.
The "Luen Charitable Scholarship Fund" and the "Luen Poverty Relief Fund" and "Luen Medical Charity Fund" established later have all moved from No. 22 Pacefield Street to several small rooms inside the church, because the original building was located in Collapsed in an air raid some time ago.
For the staff of the three foundations, it was a thrilling memory. If they had not left No. 22 Pacefield Street early for different reasons, they would have already become victims.
After getting off the carriage and passing through the gate, Audrey saw a black-haired, brown-eyed girl with a thin face approaching her.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, she took the initiative to say:
"Melissa, is there any food to distribute?"
Melissa shook her head with a solemn expression:
"Even the disabled soldiers we rescued have not received enough food..."
Audrey's green eyes dimmed for a while, without showing her helplessness and weakness, she nodded slightly and said:
"I'll find a way."
…………
"From the City of Silver...
"From outside the cursed land..."
Gehrman Sparrow's words echoed in the ears of members of the Moon City hunting team such as Adal, Xin, and Ruth.
It made them feel like a dream, unable to return to their senses for a long time.
Just as Adal gradually regained his senses and thought about what to say, Xin, who was born without a nose, excitedly asked a series of questions:
"Where is the City of Silver? What is it like? How far is it from here?
"How many normal people are there outside the cursed land?"
Klein glanced at her and replied in an emotionless voice:
"The City of Silver is on the other side of this cursed land, and they found a plant that can be eaten normally called black-faced grass, which allows them to maintain the stability of the group and can effectively explore the depths of darkness and seek to leave. Method.
"They've recently found some mushrooms that feed on the flesh of monsters and bear all kinds of toxin-free and crazy fruits.
"The City of Silver has further gotten rid of the madness. When the new generation grows up, even if they are old, they will not lose control so easily..."
Hearing these words, Adal and Xin felt a sense of loss, as if their insistence no longer had any meaning.
The life in the City of Silver described by Gehrman Sparrow is the most beautiful scene they can imagine, and others simply have it.
"...Are there deformities in their newborns?" Xin asked in a dreamy tone.
Klein shook his head:
"hardly."
"Their parents will decline in physical condition, no, when they get old, will they go into the depths of darkness by themselves?" Adal asked subconsciously.
Klein, wearing a black trench coat, a top hat, and a tima lamp replied:
"Won't.
"Because they bear the curse of kinslayer, if a life cannot end in the hands of blood relatives, it will transform into a terrifying evil spirit or monster."
The members of the Yuecheng hunting team finally regained a little sense of reality, and their hearts were like a slowly warming lake, and bubbles gradually appeared one after another.
These bubbles are fragile, hollow, bursting with a poke, and there's literally nothing inside, but shimmering with something called hope and light.
Ruth, whose eyes were almost squeezed together, couldn't help repeating the question behind Xin:
"How many normal people are there outside the cursed land?"
Klein looked at them with slightly complicated eyes and said:
"Basically normal people, don't have to worry about monster attacks all the time, don't be afraid of being in the dark, don't become crazy when you get old, don't have to bear all kinds of curses, you can see the sun every day when you wake up, your food is normal enough every day, every night The red moon rises..."
However, all of this is now being destroyed... Klein silently added in his heart.
This time, Adal, Xin, Ruth and the others were all at a loss, because they seemed to be able to imagine the pictures Gehrman Sparrow described, but they seemed to be unable to imagine, just like when they read the few ancient classics, they could Understand a certain spirit, but it is difficult to really understand some content.
What is the sun and what is the red moon, they have no concept at all.
However, every day is normal food, no need to bear all kinds of curses, no need to always worry about monster attacks, no need to be afraid of being in the dark, and no need to go crazy in old age. It is the beauty that they yearn for day and night.
Is there such a place in this world? Is this the kingdom of heaven recorded in ancient books? Is this land really cursed? The members of the Moon City Hunting Squad fell silent again.
Among them, some people opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to ask. Some people wanted to take Gehrman Sparrow back to Moon City to inform the high priest and everyone of the news, but they were afraid of causing danger.
During this process, they never gave up their vigilance and vigilance.
For their attitude, Klein was not surprised at all. Instead, he thought it was the manifestation of the civilization of the Land Forsaken that can continue to the present.
Holding the lantern, he stepped to the left, trying to bypass these humans who were surrounded by animal skins or wearing strange materials, and continued to the east.
No matter what kind of stories these people have, and whether it is worth helping, he intends to wait for a while and then investigate, listen and consider, because his spiritual intuition tells him that the destination is not far away, and the "Western Continent" being teleported is just around the corner. Two or three hours ahead.
As soon as Klein took a step, Adal and the others immediately bent their backs and prepared for defense and attack, but they couldn't wait for Gehrman Sparrow to approach and watched him walk more than ten meters to the left. Turn and move forward.
Seeing that this young man wearing strange black clothes, wearing a strange black hat, and holding a strange transparent lantern gradually drifted away, the dim yellow light was getting smaller and smaller, and the expression of Adal, who had a lot of sarcomas on his face, changed a few times. shouted:
"Who exactly are you?"
Klein didn't turn around. Holding the lantern that emitted a dim yellow light, he walked into the depths of the darkness and said normally:
"A missionary.
"The one who spreads the glory of my Lord."
Adal, Xin and the others glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces were full of confusion.
They hesitated for a while, and when there was almost only a little light left in the dim yellow fire, they all instinctively walked and followed behind Klein.
They didn't dare to approach, and they didn't want to leave, so they carried the food they had hunted before, and walked silently as if they were monitoring, guarding, and following, while Klein walked neither fast nor slow, maintaining an approximate speed, without waiting, neither Try to shake off.
In this way, both sides walked extremely quietly under the sparse lightning. I don't know when, Ruth and another member of the hunting team left the team, took the animal skin lantern and the harvested food, turned around, and disappeared silently. in the unseen darkness.
Time passed by, and Klein finally stopped.
With the help of the lightning across the sky, he saw a gray fog solidified a few hundred meters away.
This fog is connected to the earth and spreads all the way to the sky, as if there is no top.
At the same time, the fog stretched to both sides, boundless.
Klein watched intently for a long time, even if there was a dark partition in the middle, he slowly raised his head up, and only withdrew his gaze after the second lightning subsided.
After or in the fog, is the "Western Continent" that disappeared? Klein thought solemnly, and he couldn't help but slow down his breathing.
He carried the lantern and continued to move forward until the dim yellow light could illuminate the solidified mist.
No need to try anything else, Klein's "diver" intuition told him that the grayish-white mist was an invisible barrier that could not be passed by conventional methods.
He thought for a while, stretched out his right hand, and scratched and scratched into the darkness diagonally ahead.
After four or five strokes in a row, Klein pulled out a black cane inlaid with various gems from the air.
This is the "Star Staff", which was exchanged by Klein with the "Box of the Old Days", a terrifying sealed artifact numbered "0-62"!
Of course, Klein currently only summoned the historical pore image of the "Star Staff".
In this way, even if there is an unnecessary picture in his mind, when the corresponding effect is about to be triggered, he can stop the danger in time by releasing the maintenance of the historical pore image.
For an "ancient scholar", this is the best way to use a "0" level sealed item on a daily basis, but the time limit is limited, currently it cannot exceed three minutes, and the effect is somewhat different from the original version - use a marionette to hold it. The "Star Staff" cannot avoid negative effects, because the Secret Puppet needs to be manipulated, and there is a high probability that the picture will be transmitted if there is manipulation.
Of course, Klein wouldn't do this if he had a prepared battle, because it would occupy one of his three precious summoning spots. Moreover, although the "Star Staff" already belongs to him, it is only forcibly belonging to him, and it is under seal. In addition, the status of the "0" level sealed item itself is quite high. Klein can't be successfully summoned once, and often gets three to six times. In the fierce battle, this requires enough opportunities, no so easy.
Because of this, when preparing to "perform", he will "hypnotize" himself in advance, and use the "Star Staff" in a special state, leaving the opportunity to summon the historical pore images to Miss Messenger, Mr. Azik, and Arianna. Madam, Will Auceptin and other familiar angels.
Holding the black cane inlaid with various gems, Klein naturally imagined a scene of the gate of illusory slowly opening in his mind.
The gems on the walking stick shimmered, and the gray and white mist surface quickly outlined a door that was not real enough.
The door opened silently, and there was still a gray fog behind it.
"Opening the door" won't work... Klein wasn't surprised by the result, but he was still a little disappointed.
He thought about it and prepared to change his method.
However, just as he was thinking about it, the "Staff of the Stars" aroused on its own with the presentation of the picture.
