Chapter 1294 The Gears Begin to Turn

Although he didn't know how he was transported from the "outside world" to this Kolo space, through Calasius's explanation in a few words, Hao Ren could still be sure that his "travel" behavior must have triggered some kind of suspicious... The phenomenon of observation, and this phenomenon is falling in the eyes of the people of the Sanctuary.

He carefully inquired about the departure time of the Sanctuary Investigation Team and found that it exactly matched the time when he fell into the Cassuan Temple.

The senior monk did not expect that things would develop in such a dramatic way. One second he was planning in his mind the next extremely dangerous journey into the wilderness and how to locate the ancient temple that had been lost for a thousand years. The next second he was planning The mission target just stood in front of him - and it was a real living person!

"Do you really mean what you said?" Karasius couldn't believe it. "Are you really from the Cassuan Temple?"

"It's absolutely true, I woke up there." Hao Ren told him frankly, while thinking about something quickly in his mind: Should he continue to use that bluff in front of Calasius, a genuine Sanctuary man? Man’s “ancient guardian” argument?

After some thought, he decided to throw away the name - he used the name of Ancient Guardian for the convenience of movement in the Kingdom of Talos, and at that time he couldn't explain his origin to Veronica, so he simply Following the other party's guesses, he made up an identity for himself, but now, he no longer needs these conveniences.

The high-level monk in front of him is here to find a "miracle", so the "visitor from another world" is such a miracle.

Of course, the more important reason is that Hao Ren feels that it will be very difficult to pretend to be an ancestor in front of a native Sanctuary person. He put his deception ability aside for now, what if the Sanctuary person also has the ability to sense blood? Who can I talk to to explain this supernatural thing...

The senior monk looked at Hao Ren several times with doubts: "Then why did you appear in that place?"

"Do you know how the alpha wolf next to you appeared on a floating island?" Hao Ren pointed at Lily. The husky girl was squatting on the ground trying to pick out a stone from the altar as a souvenir. At this time, the clever The ground raised his ears: "Ouch?"

"The alpha wolf..." Karasius frowned, "She said she came from a very far away place, got lost on the floating island, and was there when she woke up. Ahem, her description of herself has always been It’s very vague.”

Hao Ren spread his hands: "It's simple, because she and I come from the same place - outside of Keluo."

Carathius was stunned.

"...It's incredible. How do you prove what you said?" The look of suspicion on the senior monk's face became even more serious. "At least...how do you prove that you really woke up in the Cassuan Temple?"

Hao Ren scratched his hair: "So this is a troublesome thing. If you tell lies, no one will believe it. If you tell the truth, no one will believe it. This world can't give honest people any way to survive. Come on, let me tell you about the multiverse. It’s too troublesome, but I can prove that I have indeed been to the Cassuan Temple. You see—”

As he spoke, he released an autonomous machine from his portable space. This autonomous machine waved several tentacles to form a set of projection ends in the air, and then holographic images were displayed in front of everyone. It was Hao Ren who was The information I jotted down while exploring the Cassuan Temple.

"Unless you yourself don't know what the Cassuan Temple you are looking for looks like, you should understand it when you see these."

Karasius looked at these holographic images in surprise. He had never actually been to the temple, but he had obtained all the information about Cassuan from the Pope before setting off, including detailed written records and magic rubbings. The picture came down, so he had a certain understanding of that temple - the holographic image in front of him completely matched the description he knew!

"This...is indeed the temple," the senior monk murmured to himself. "These murals and sculptures are exactly the same as those in the records...but whose hand is this? What does this gesture mean?"

At this time, the holographic image was playing to the last few frames, and a hand suddenly appeared at the bottom of the screen, making a V-shaped gesture...

Hao Ren coughed twice and quickly turned off the projection: "Ahem, it's mine. This gesture indicates important information. It's hard to explain the details."

As he spoke, he exclaimed in his heart: Two seconds later, the senior monks would have seen him standing on the porch of the temple, riding on the flying swallows.

Lily just raised her head at this time and started shouting: "Hey landlord, that's not..."

Hao Ren glared at him: "Shut up! Otherwise there will be no meat to eat!"

Lily's ears drooped: "Ouch."

"Okay, don't get into the details - is your mission completed now?" Hao Ren looked at Carasius and awkwardly changed the subject, "What are you going to do next? Take me to the sanctuary?"

Calasius thought for a while and looked at Hao Ren with some uncertainty: "If you are really the 'light' that His Majesty the Pope said, then what can you do to save the holy mountain Asuman?"

"It depends on what kind of trouble your holy mountain has encountered," Hao Ren said after considering it. "You may not believe it, but I am indeed a technician in this field and have very rich experience in solving artifact malfunctions. ) practice (explode) experience.”

Seeing that the high-level monk was still in deep thought, Hao Ren simply pointed at Lily: "You see this wolf, right? The light of order in her body is so powerful that she can protect a million troops across the darkness. Forest, but she actually showed me the gate.”

As he spoke, he secretly winked at Lily to try to get the husky girl to cooperate. However, the latter had already begun to nod before Hao Ren finished speaking... The dog girl didn't pay attention to what the landlord was saying at all. She was in a state of mind. .

Calasius was of course surprised and suspicious after seeing the reaction of the alpha wolf, but in the end he was given up on his last hesitation. He nodded to Hao Ren: "Then the top priority is to return to the sanctuary immediately."

Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Take an airship?"

"...I'm afraid it's too late," the senior monk looked worried. "We didn't expect that the situation in the sanctuary would deteriorate so seriously. The original investigation team's action plan was for two months, but now it seems that we are already too late. But Nowadays, the continental teleportation in the entire world has been blocked by Chaos Storm, and there is no faster way besides airships..."

Before Karasius finished speaking, he heard a slightly cold and hoarse female voice suddenly coming from the side: "I have a way."

As soon as Hao Ren turned his head, he saw a woman covered in a black burqa standing at the door. He didn't even know how this woman appeared!

"An?" he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Carathius was even more surprised: "Who are you? Where are the guards outside?"

"They are fine, I did not disturb them," An's hood moved slightly, as if he glanced at Carasius, "The senior bishop from the side of God, Mr. Carasius, I am glad to see that you are safe and sound. .”

The senior monk saw that this woman was with Hao Ren, but he was still confused: "Do you know me?"

"This is the secret agent of King Talos, her name is An," Hao Ren quickly introduced from the side, "She said she has something to do with your Sanctuary Investigation Team."

"The king's secret agent of Talos?" The senior monk frowned and looked at An, "You said you have a way to send us back to the sanctuary in a short time?"

"Of course, but the premise is that you need your cooperation," An nodded, and then seemed to be looking around, with a hint of emotion in her voice, which was undisguised disgust, "But first we have to leave this place. ——I don’t like the smell here.”

Hao Ren quickly said: "My camp is in the north. You can go there and have a rest."

Naturally, the group of people had no objection to this. This place infected by cultists and the power of Chaos had already made many people feel uncomfortable, so after gathering the personnel on guard near the "Hogus Cabin" and the team members on standby outside the tearing point, , this mixed force with increasingly mixed composition immediately set off and left this ominous hilly area.

Halfway through, Lily walked around An An curiously, leaning forward and shrugging her nose from time to time. This quite rude behavior finally made Hao Ren couldn't help it anymore: "What are you doing?"

Lily jumped back to Hao Ren: "Landlord, she has no human touch!"

"What the hell is the human flavor..." Hao Ren patted Husky's sperm to stop her from jumping around in a dizzying manner, and then turned to An, "Didn't I tell you to wait at the camp?"

"I'm not one of your men," the mysterious "King's Agent" replied coldly, "I sensed a powerful energy conflict, so I came to see what was going on."

Hao Ren snorted. Faced with such a taciturn and weird guy, he didn't bother to ask too many questions, but he slowly started to have some questions:

There is a short distance from the camp in the north of the hills to the "Hogus Cabin" here. He drove all the way here in a modified 59 tank, so he caught up with the battle between Lily and the cultists, but An also It didn't take long for him to arrive - how did this mysterious woman get there?

The ability to teleport through space?

So when she said she could take others to the sanctuary, was she also using space to teleport?

But hasn't this cross-continent transmission been blocked by the power of Chaos Storm?

In any case, there are really more and more secrets about this "King's Secret Agent"...

At the same time, deep in the chaotic and dark Sea of ​​Karnos, the Sanctuary was shrouded in dark clouds.

The light shield of Order above the continent was crumbling like a candle in the wind. The gloomy sky seemed to indicate that the long night was coming. Even the towering crystal sacred mountain Asuman was dimmed and almost completely dim at this moment. On the extinguished crystal mountain wall, only the remaining bits of light can be seen feebly wandering, which can hardly be called brilliance.

The cold wind howled across the land, and drizzle fell on the empty and lonely town streets. The rain was black, as if mixed with curses and malice. Under the dome, there are few pedestrians in every town, and the doors and windows of every house are closed. The cold lights not only fail to dispel the chill between heaven and earth, but make the whole world even more cold and lonely as if it is trapped in an eternal winter.

At the foot of the Holy Mountain, the door of the Icon Palace is closed. The large prayer hall that used to be crowded with people is now empty. This holy place has also faded from its previous brightness. Only dim lights are dotted on the dome, as if at dusk. The evening star lights up.

Pope August VII, wearing a robe and a triple crown, stood quietly in front of the altar. There was a thick prayer book spread out in front of him, and he seemed to be deep in prayer and meditation.

Suddenly, a dark red rune suddenly lit up in the open space behind the Pope. The runes quickly rotated and reorganized in the air, forming a constantly rotating vortex. Black mist surged in the vortex, and the power of chaos and darkness continued to surge from it. out.

Two figures, a man and a woman, fell out of the whirlpool. Countless pairs of craggy arms seemed to stretch out from the black mist behind them. The arms were waving to pull them back. However, as the runes dissipated, these arms and the black mist He could only retreat into the darkness, leaving behind a series of unwilling and terrifying howls.

August VII seemed completely unaware of the movement behind him. He just continued to look at the prayer book in front of him quietly. It was not until he finished reading a chapter that he raised his head slightly.

"The end is coming," the old pope whispered.

"The end of the world has arrived." Count Willy put his hand on his chest and whispered in the same voice.
