Chapter 185 Attractive Mushrooms

Dark? An image of the other party appeared in Derrick's mind:

He is of medium height and slightly fat. He is good at strength. He is an optimistic and cheerful boy with a bright smile. He is a classmate of general education and a teammate of the patrol team.

But after returning from exploring the half-destroyed temple of the "Fallen Creator" this time, he became deep and only smiled at everyone.

As soon as Derrick recalled the changes in Dak Riggins, Derrick shuddered, feeling chills all over his body.

Why did he come to me suddenly? I just got out of quarantine, shouldn't I go home? Moments later, Derrick had many doubts in his heart.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility:

"Elder Lovia knew that I suspected that they had mutated, so sent Dake to deal with me?"

Derrick was startled at first, full of fear, and then felt that this probably wasn't a bad thing:

Mr. Hanged Man said, "If you don't have a suitable audience who can testify for you, then you might as well use the Extraordinary who monitors you", and now, the monitor is in that corner, if Darke suddenly attacks me, he will definitely be exposed The fact that they have problems!

This way, even without using Mr. World's item, things can go smoothly!

Phew, Derrick turned his head and looked out the window.

At this moment, the frequency of lightning had dropped to the minimum, and it took a minute or two for a bolt to cross the sky and illuminate the mid-air. The entire world and the entire Silver City were in deep darkness most of the time.

If he was alone at home, Derrick would not dig out a candle and light it. He would lie quietly on the bed, thinking about all kinds of things.

Of course, he knows that this is actually more dangerous. If there is no light to dispel the darkness a little, monsters may suddenly appear even inside the City of Silver. Fear of something like this happening.

Boom boom boom! Duck knocked on the door three more times, seeming to urge the master.

He was not like this before, he was very polite... Derrick suddenly felt a strong sense of sadness.

He took out a candle from the wooden box, placed it in the center of the table, and rubbed his fingers together to create a golden flame.

The flame lit the candles, filling the room with a dim but warm brilliance, accompanied by a hint of pungent fragrance.

——Candles in the City of Silver are mainly made of fat extracted from monsters.

Tastes vary from source to source.

Taking a deep breath, Derrick walked to the door with strong vigilance and opened it.

"Why are you so slow?" Duck asked with a smile.

"Look for candles." Derrick responded.

He didn't dare to leave his back to the other party, and adopted the method of walking side by side, and walked back to the table with the classmate and teammate, and sat down separately.

"Would you like some freshly dried Dumu fruit?" Duck took a small cloth bag from his waist and asked with a smile.

Dum fruit is one of the extremely rare snacks in the City of Silver. It comes from a plant called "Dum blood vine". This creature does not need light and grows by absorbing nutrients from rotting corpses. It has a certain tendency to attack and belongs to the The more common weak monsters.

Each "Dum blood vine" will bear many thumb-sized black fruits, which can be eaten directly, crisp and fragrant, but they cannot fill the stomachs of humans and cannot provide necessary supplements. They can only be used as a daily pastime, a patrol The merits obtained can be exchanged for several large bags.

"No, no need." Derrick shook his head cautiously.

"Okay." Duck poured out a bunch of black fruits from the small cloth bag, picked up one, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit it with a crackling sound.

Derrick thought for a while, and asked proactively:

"Did you encounter any monsters in the underground part of that temple?"

Duck stopped chewing and replied with a smile:

"There are quite a few, but none of them are very powerful. They were easily eliminated by us. It has been destroyed for a long time, and the powerful monsters should have left long ago."

He paused for a second, drew the corners of his mouth and said:

"We found some strange plants at the bottom of the temple. They look like the mushrooms recorded in the general education class. They grow very brightly, which makes people full of appetite at first sight.

"It has been confirmed that they can be eaten directly, which can improve spirituality and strengthen the body. If they are paired with grilled monsters, they will emit an unimaginable fragrance."

While speaking, he took out a palm-sized mushroom-shaped object from another small cloth bag. The handle was as white as jade, and the canopy was bright red and dotted with dark golden spots.

Just seeing this plant, Derrick couldn't help swallowing, as if he had been hungry for several days.

Under the light of the dim candlelight, the beautiful mushroom-shaped thing has a seductive color all the time, which especially stimulates the appetite, making it difficult to control.

"Here's one." Duck smiled enthusiastically.

"Okay, okay..." Derrick almost immediately picked up the mushroom-shaped plant and stuffed it into his mouth, but he finally endured it and opened his mouth reluctantly, "I'll try it tomorrow."

Dak didn't say much, and pushed the "mushroom" in front of Derrick, while he continued to bite the Dumu fruit.

It took a lot of effort for Derrick to move his eyes away from "Mushroom", and asked with difficulty:

"Have you found anything from this exploration?"

"Yes!" Duck stopped eating snacks, held a black Dumu fruit, and replied very seriously, "We found many murals, coherent murals, do you still remember the statue in the temple? ?”

"Yes." Derrick glanced at "Mushroom", nodded and said, "It's a huge cross with a naked man hanged upside down, and a lot of blood was deliberately smeared on its surface."

Duck turned the Dumu fruit in his hand and said:

"The newly discovered murals tell us that the builders of the temple believed that the statue represented the Lord who created everything, the all-knowing and omnipotent God. He committed most of the sins, so he changed from standing upright to hanging upside down, from walking freely to being crucified and bleeding in our place.

"God's grace is like a sea. We are not the abandoned ones, but the favored ones. Without a Lord who would take the sins and shed blood on our behalf, the City of Silver would have been destroyed long ago, and human beings would have ceased to exist long ago!"

However, in the outside world, in the Loen Kingdom where Mister "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice" are located, there is no curse at all, no extreme darkness, no monsters in the depths of the darkness... We are not the favored people... Derrick silently retorted in his heart.

"If that's true, we only need to change some of the symbols and the corresponding names during the sacrifice, and we can regain the Lord's response..." Dak talked about the murals at the bottom of the temple, talking about his own guesses. , and Derrick found it increasingly difficult to resist the temptation of that "mushroom".

No, can't eat! If you eat it, you may be completely polluted by the "Fallen Creator" like Dake and the others, and become a fanatical believer... Even if there are monitors, they will not find the problem... Derrick panicked and felt that he had to do something What to get out of the current situation.

Get rid of Duck and give him back the "mushroom"? However, this is tantamount to giving up the opportunity... The opportunity... Derrick's eyes subconsciously turned to the dimly burning candle.

"I'll get you a glass of water." He quickly went through the plan he had discussed with Mr. "The Hanged Man" in his mind, and stood up calmly.

While Dak nodded, he threw the thumb-sized black dum fruit into his mouth, and the snapping sound echoed crisply.

When Derrick was pouring the water, he deliberately slowed down, lowered his head, and recited the honorable name of Mister Fool, and said at the end:

"Your faithful servant prays for your watch;"

"Pray that you accept his offering;"

"I pray that you will open the gate of the kingdom."

Woo!

A gust of wind suddenly blew up in the room, and the power of nature produced obvious fluctuations under the influence of the mantra.

At the same time, Dak, who had just picked up a black Dumu fruit, suddenly raised his head and looked at Derrick who was facing him sideways:

"what's going on?"

Derrick didn't answer, he held down the "Hurricane Axe" with one hand, and reached into the dark pocket with the other, lifting the spiritual wall on the outer layer of the iron box, and the vague ravings and the feeling of evil and depravity began to spread out faintly.

Derrick cast his eyes on Dake with extreme vigilance, and saw that the expression of this classmate and teammate suddenly became gloomy, and there were traces of bright red in the blue eyes!

And the Dumu fruit in his hand strangely lost its dark appearance, and was stained with a slightly pale flesh color.

That's not dum, that's a finger, a bloody finger, a human finger!

The pile of dum fruit on the table is a piece of human finger!

The bright "mushroom" has also changed, it is no longer so beautiful, and it no longer exudes a lustrous appetite. It is a layer of blood-stained scalp with short black hair!

Dak stared at Derrick, opened his mouth, his voice was cold and erratic:

"What are you doing……"

…………

Backlund, 15 Minsk Street.

Klein, who had already got into bed and was in a warm world, got up when he heard the supplication that seemed to come from the little "sun", created a spiritual wall, and then walked four steps backwards, entering above the gray mist.

Sitting in the seat belonging to "The Fool", he was not in a hurry to examine the request of the little "Sun", but placed the "Black Emperor" card, cut paper figurines and other things neatly on the long bronze table in front of him.

According to the idea of ​​"The Hanged Man", the scene where the "sun" stimulates the mutation of the members of the exploration team will be in the sacrificial ceremony, so that when things are finished, the item borrowed by the "world" can be quite simply Disappeared at the scene, died without evidence, and then pushed all the questions to Amon!

And Mister Fool Klein agreed to Little Sun's request to "simplify the ceremony and only do the key steps" "without necessity".

At this point, he waited for the pre-ceremony to be completed in order to respond.
