Chapter 184 Afternoon Town

That is... Klein's eyes reflected a nearly completely transparent thing.

Like the shell of something, it sometimes retracts a little and disappears from Klein's field of vision, and sometimes protrudes out like being blown by an invisible wind, showing a little outline.

Using it as an anchor point, looking up, there is a dark green and almost black color standing quietly.

It's like the color of the trees in the Black Forest... Klein muttered, completely unable to imagine what the "color" and the "thing" symbolized. He could only boldly guess that it might have something to do with further controlling the mysterious space above the gray mist. .

Without trying to do any futile work, he jumped off the ladder that seemed to lead to heaven, and returned to the palace where he had manifested himself.

Considering the existence of the "Queen of Mysteries", Klein tidied up a bit, left above the gray mist, and returned to the bathroom in his room.

After finishing his hands, he walked to the suitcase step by step, turned out the "sun brooch" and wore it on the double-breasted long dress.

After such a toss, the types of magical items he can use and carry have returned to the state of Backlund. However, he is already at Sequence 5, and he already possesses one of the most difficult abilities below demigods. An extraordinary world powerhouse in the sense.

"Normally, I should be very excited and happy, but actually I'm not, I haven't even been excited at the moment I finally found the mermaid... because for me, it's just another step of revenge, and the goal I really want to achieve is still there. distance……

"Next, summarize the rules, digest the 'Master Puppet' potion, and find the formula and materials corresponding to Sequence 4. Well, these things have to be done after leaving this sea area. I will consult Mr. Azik and Will Onsai in turn. Ting, 'Mirror' Arrods...

"Hehe, relax your body and mind these few days. If you are too tense, you will break down, which will lead to signs of loss of control..." Klein turned to look at the full-length mirror in the room, only to see that he was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with black hair. He has brown eyes, a thin face, and sharp outlines. He is wearing a white shirt, long dress, bow tie, top hat, and a dark gold sunbird brooch. He has a calm expression and dark eyes.

After watching quietly for a while, he raised his hands, adjusted the buttons on the cuffs on both sides, and patted the black long dress.

…………

Lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the stacked gray buildings ahead.

Colin Iliad, the "demon hunter" with two swords on his back, pointed to the opposite side and said:

"That's Afternoon Town.

"

His grizzled, neglected hair swayed in the wild wind.

So fast... Derrick, who was holding the "Hurricane Axe", expressed emotion quite unexpectedly.

He immediately felt relieved, thinking that this was reasonable, because the Giant King's Court itself was located in the area near the City of Silver, and the afternoon town was one of the nodes connecting the two sides.

With the help of the lightning that illuminated the night, he could clearly see the appearance of Afternoon Town. It was built along the foot of the mountain and was naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels. It was said that it was a town, but it was actually no smaller than most of the ruins found in the City of Silver.

Here, the gray stones are built into different houses, some are hollowed out as a whole, close to ten meters, and some are the same as Derrick's current residence, so small that it seems that normal humans can touch the roof.

These buildings are compactly arranged and spread out. Some of them have collapsed, while others are still strong, but they are all stained with signs of decay.

It was completely different from what was described in the textbook... Derrick suddenly recalled what he had learned in history class.

According to the records of the City of Silver, Afternoon Town is the gate that separates reality from mythology. Humans and giants live here. There is night and day, but all daytime is in the "afternoon" state, no matter if it is heavy fog, heavy rain, or ice and snow. , can't hide the more violent sunlight, but at this time, the place is dark and gray, even if it is illuminated by lightning, it lacks a sense of light and is lifeless.

Holding the handle of the ax tightly, Derrick, with two miniature suns in his eyes, walked on the side of the exploration team, and followed the "chief" Colin step by step into Afternoon Town.

This place has been cleaned up once during the first exploration, the streets are covered with rotting flesh and traces of dried pus, the surroundings are quiet and there is no sound.

"Be careful, there are many strange monsters hiding in the darkness here." Colin Iliad, who had an old scar on his face, did not take it lightly, and drew one of the two swords on his back with his backhand.

Here is the gate of the myth? When the Creator abandoned the land, did he even abandon the mythology? Derrick couldn't help imagining what happened to Afternoon Town in the great changes back then, and intuitively thought that it might be different from the Silver Country.

Before he had time to observe his surroundings more carefully, looking for possible clues, he suddenly heard a hurried shout from his teammates on the other side:

"There is something!"

Derrick looked sideways, and saw a transparent face growing on the surface of the 10-meter-high huge stone house.

The face is covered with innumerable slits, and they coil around the center regularly, forming a single eye or mouth that resembles a whirlpool.

The hurricane in the vortex seemed to be real, whizzing and gushing out, and the light like the morning sun was densely packed inside, like arrows of light one after another.

Puff puff!

They hit several members of the exploration team, but they seemed to hit a thick city wall, they could only make a dull and dense sound, and quickly disappeared into the gloomy environment.

At some point, the "Chief" of the City of Silver, Colin Iliad, had already bent his knees and half squatted, inserting the silver straight sword in his hand into the decayed gray stone ground.

He provided the most powerful protection for the players in the front row!

At the same time, the rest of the exploration team launched their attacks in an orderly manner. The light storm and the crimson fireball hit the monster one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the holy light summoned by Derrick also fell on the one-eyed vortex.

Amidst the sound of the explosion, the boulder that was already full of cracks collapsed, and the transparent face screamed and evaporated.

Although this battle was easy, Derrick didn't feel happy at all. He heard Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice" discuss the case of Extraordinary battles in the Tarot Club. Based on the accumulated experience of fighting against various monsters, it is worrying to find that the methods of the City of Silver are limited, below the demigod level, there is no effective means of control. The situation just confirmed this point.

Fortunately, there is a sealed item formed after the death of the monster to make up for it... Derrick thought silently, and then heard the "chief" order:

"According to the arrangement at the time of departure, a group of three or four people will explore and clean up different areas."

"Yes, chief!" Most of the members of the exploration team had rich experience and quickly completed the grouping.

There are three people in Derrick's group. In addition to him, there are also Joshua and Heim who went to the abandoned temple together. The former is the "Weapon Master" of Sequence 7, and has a magic weapon that can manipulate flames. Gloves, the latter has recently become the "Knight of Dawn" of Sequence 6, and his figure has grown a lot, reaching 2.3 meters.

——The average height of the Silver City with the "Warrior", that is, the "Giant" pathway as the main strength is 1.8 meters (including children over 6 years old). Even if the Extraordinary characteristics are not inherited, the normal genes that have been changed will be passed on from generation to generation. With the accumulation of a generation, although Derrick is not very old, he is still close to 1.8 meters, and there is still room for growth.

According to the assigned goals, Derrick, Joshua, and Heim entered an alley on the left in a triangular battle formation, and explored every house that could still be entered.

Perhaps it was because of the cleanup before, they hadn't encountered any monsters, and they relaxed a little unconsciously.

"I heard that the 'Six-member Council' wants to build a camp here and turn afternoon town into our stronghold." Joshua, wearing a red glove on his left palm, said after inspecting the hall of a house.

Heim nodded, looked down at his two companions and said:

"The real goal seems to be..."

He pointed down diagonally.

"The King's Court of Giants?" Derrick asked in surprise.

Aren't you looking for the beach where Little Jack and the others came? Don't you need to bypass the giant court? Derrick was full of doubts.

Heim shook his head:

"I just heard."

He swept his gaze and pointed to the entrance to the basement:

"Let's finish exploring here first."

Derrick let out a "hmm", relying on his night vision and "luminous" abilities, he was not afraid of the dark, so he entered the basement first, followed by Heinm, carrying a lantern covered in animal skins, and Joshua.

The basement of this house is quite spacious, and there are puddles of blackened dried-up traces inside, and the bloody smell still remains after many years.

Derrick looked around and felt that a sacrificial ceremony seemed to have been held here.

A long, long time ago... He added silently, and found the altar-like stone table and a stump of candle, which made his guess more and more certain.

Why did the residents of Afternoon Town secretly hide in the basement to hold sacrificial rituals? When the court of giants ruled, they were all followers of the king of giants, and later belonged to the creator of everything... Is the owner of this house secretly worshiping other gods? Questions emerged one after another, and Derrick approached the altar, only to see that the stone table was originally engraved with words, but it had been almost completely destroyed by natural and unnatural factors.

After careful identification, Derrick read out three names:

"Ouroreus;

"Medic;

"Saslier."

Ouroreus? Isn't that the name of "Angel of Destiny"? "Mr. Fool" mentioned that Medici is also the King of Angels, but Saslier is another one? Derrick suddenly felt excited and fearful, turned his head quickly, and wanted to invite his companions to watch together.

But as far as he could see, the entrance to the basement was empty and dark, and Heim and Joshua, who were supposed to follow behind, were gone!

PS: I finally got home, adjusted it, and changed it first.
