Chapter 235 The First Meeting with the “Angel of Destiny”

494

After being successfully promoted, Klein returned to the "Future". After a few brief conversations, he quickly walked to his room.

One guess is about to be tested.

In the room, Klein waited for a few minutes before reentering the bathroom, arranging the ritual again, and threw the "squirming hunger" that became increasingly manic due to lack of food above the gray fog.

He slowly faded away the "squirming hunger" that immediately became quiet, and also put it into the trash pile.

During his last exploration, he discovered a bright "stairway" leading to heaven. He suspected that the other party's level was related to his own sequence, so he made a confirmation as soon as he was promoted.

After walking for a while, Klein finally saw the sacred staircase made of pure light. Compared with before, it had one more level out of thin air, with a total of five steps.

Sure enough... Klein sighed without any surprise.

Then he climbed the stairs meant for giants and reached the top.

At this time, he was not far away from the gray mist floating in the air. It seemed that he could climb up with another step.

…

Lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the stacks of gray buildings ahead.

"Demon Hunter" Colin Iliad, carrying two swords on his back, pointed to the opposite side and said:

"That's Afternoon Town."

His neglected gray hair swayed in the wind blowing through the wilderness.

With these words, a ball of cloth held by a female doctor squirmed. The doctor quickly opened a corner of the ball of cloth. The baby, who had grown a layer of soft silver hair, half-opened his eyes and took a look. All around, there was another yawn.

"Chief..." the doctor said hurriedly, but saw the chief making a silent gesture towards her.

Everyone in the exploration team unanimously turned their attention to the fragile baby wrapped in layers, not daring to breathe.

Uno Skullder, or Ouroleus, lay quietly in the doctor's arms, gave his mother a revelation, and thus became a specially invited member of the expedition. With him here, everyone feels that they have been favored by the Lord, and they are more energetic and cautious.

The little baby has silver-gray hair inherited from his father and sky-blue eyes from his mother. Although Baiyincheng knows that he is the incarnation of an angel, he will still discuss it with kindness in his spare time. If this child continues to grow up, he will definitely be a beautiful person in the future. Handsome young man.

Thanks to him, the exploration team had a smooth journey and did not encounter much danger.

Of course, this place is not too far from Silver City, and it is still on a road that has been inspected and cleared many times, so it is reasonable that there will not be too much danger.

The exploration team members were in high spirits because of this. Uno had his hair touched countless times along the way, but the child was quiet and motionless.

While everyone was waiting with bated breath, Uno blinked his eyes, and after briefly looking around, he leaned forward and pointed at Derrick, who was standing in the middle of the team.

Derrick looked around and behind him, and finally pointed at himself in confusion: "Me?"

Uno put his hand down, still looking at him with half-open blue eyes, as sleepy as if he would fall asleep in the next second.

Derrick scratched his head and looked at the chief, who also looked at him. Both of them were thinking about what this meant.

The doctor looked at the two people looking at each other and said quickly: "Maybe he wants you to hold him."

"is that so?"

Derrick couldn't believe it. He carried the "Hurricane Ax" behind his back and nervously rubbed his calloused hands on his legs. Then he approached the doctor and stiffly took the man wrapped in cloth and animal skin. The child took it and raised both hands flat in the air, as if holding a plate.

"You will hurt the child if you hold him like this!" The doctor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly corrected Derrick's action in carrying the plate. As soon as Derrick corrected himself, Uno, who was already a little resentful because of his sleepiness, immediately tilted his head and began to fall asleep directly on Derrick's chest.

"Is he cold?" Derrick, who could generate heat on his own, asked honestly.

Colin Iliad said: "Perhaps he is aware of the exploration route I want to arrange for you."

"My exploration route?" Derrick was stunned for a moment, then returned to his serious expression.

Once again, he carefully followed the light of lightning and observed this place called "Afternoon Town".

These buildings are compactly arranged and spread out. Some have collapsed and some are still strong, but they are all stained with traces of decay.

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

According to the records of Silver City, Afternoon Town is the gate that separates reality and myth. Humans and giants live together. There are nights and days here, but all days are in the "afternoon" state, regardless of heavy fog, heavy rain, or ice and snow. , can't cover up the relatively fierce sunlight, but at this time, the place is dark and gray. Even if it is illuminated by lightning, it lacks light and is lifeless.

The team began to move forward. Derrick, who was holding the child in one hand and holding an ax in the other, quickly adapted to the new balance. His eyes "contained" two miniature suns, walking beside the exploration team, following "Chief" Colin entered the afternoon town step by step.

The streets were covered with rotten flesh and traces of dried pus, and there was silence and no sound.

The leader ordered:

"Follow the arrangements made when setting out, work in groups of three to four to 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 Haim who have been to the abandoned temple together. The former is the "Weapon Master" of Sequence 7 and has a magical weapon that can control flames. Gloves, who has recently become the "Dawn Knight" of Sequence 6, has grown taller, reaching 2.3 meters tall.

"Ha, Derrick, it seems that we have taken advantage of you."

Joshua happily approached Derrick who was holding the baby. He reached out and wanted to pick up a corner of the white swaddling clothes to look at the angel-incarnated child, but Haim next to him quickly stopped him and lowered his voice and said: "You can't be so rude to an angel!"

Under the majestic gaze of his peers with a higher rank in the same path, Joshua unconsciously lowered his voice:

"Haim, you don't know that Uno is very willing to get close to us. And he is just a child now, a smart and magical child who still needs to eat milk and play games. If everyone treats him as an angel , keep it at arm’s length, wouldn’t he be a little lonely?”

"Then he is also an angel in the future. Angels want to be with the Lord, and angels want to be friends with angels. We mortals... will probably only add trouble to the angels." Heim was a little moved, but still insisted on himself the opinion of.

Joshua immediately began to use his eloquence: "Hey, you have never been friends with angels, how do you know that we are troubles?"

They were whispering in Derrick's ears. Seeing that the chief standing behind them began to notice these three whispering young people, Derrick quickly took the children to their exploration route. Im and Joshua followed naturally.

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

Perhaps because they had cleaned up before, they had never encountered any monsters, and because the angel was on their side, they unconsciously felt a little more relaxed.

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

Haim glanced around, pointed at the basement entrance and said:

"Let's finish exploring here first."

Derrick said "Yeah", and relying on his night vision and "luminous" ability, he was not afraid of the dark, and entered the basement first. Haim, carrying a lantern covered with animal skins, followed closely with Joshua.

The basement of this house is quite spacious, and there are puddles of blackened dry marks inside. The smell of blood still remains a little after many years.

Derrick looked around and felt that a sacrificial ceremony had been held here.

A long, long time ago... He added silently, and found the altar-like stone table and the candle with a section left behind, which further confirmed his guess.

How could the residents of Afternoon Town secretly hide in the basement to hold sacrificial rituals? When the Giant King ruled, they were all followers of the Giant King, and later they belonged to the Lord who created everything... Is the owner of this house secretly worshiping other gods? Questions emerged one after another. Derrick approached the altar and saw that the stone table was originally full of words carved on it, but it had been almost completely destroyed by natural and unnatural factors.

After careful identification, Derrick found three names:

“Ourolius;

“Medici;

"Sasril."

Ouroboros? this is not……

Derrick lowered his head and looked at the baby wrapped in his left arm. Putting these three names together immediately reminded him of the "Rose of Redemption" he once read on the mural! He was about to call his companions to come and see, but as far as he could see, the entrance to the basement was empty and dark, and Haim and Joshua who were supposed to be following behind were missing!

Derrick raised his ax warily, holding Uno who seemed to be still sleeping. The candlelight outside the house was dim, and nothing seemed to have changed. So Derrick immediately realized that the mutation had appeared on him!

Did the good luck of the "Angel of Destiny" not offset this accident? Or, the "Angel of Destiny" is waiting for me to come here, waiting for me to fall into darkness, and he is motionless now, does it mean that the danger this time will not be great...

The light and airy child in his arms gave Derrick some courage. He carefully explored the basement, hoping to find some clues to escape from trouble, but all the records on the walls and altars of the basement were just written in giant language. There is no valuable information about the names of the three angels.

In danger... unable to save myself... the situation is critical, what will I do next?

Back at the altar, Derrick thought about it carefully and suddenly froze.

His next step will be to recite the honorable name of Mr. "Fool" and ask for Mr. "Fool"'s help!

Ourolius knew that I would be in danger, and also guessed that I would ask Mr. Fool for help after I was in danger, so he followed me before exploring?

Derrick suddenly felt a little dizzy. Uno remained motionless and slept soundly, as if he was waiting for him to recite the name of "The Fool".

However, the relationship between Mr. Fool and the Lord seems to have eased. He also knew about the arrival of the "Angel of Destiny" in Silver City, and said it was an attempt by the Lord to escape from the abyss of madness... If the "Angel of Destiny" If I want to bring harm to Mr. Fool, I will issue a warning as soon as possible and commit suicide to apologize...

After waiting for dozens of heartbeats, the candlelight became weaker and weaker. The surrounding environment has not changed. It is unknown whether Haim and Joshua have left here or are wandering around. Unable to continue in this stalemate, Derrick took a few deep breaths, buried his head slightly, and whispered piously:

“A fool who is not of this age;

“The mysterious master above the gray fog;

"The King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck..."

In an instant, the sleeping baby in his arms opened its eyes. Ouroleus's silver-white eyes looked straight up. His cold and indifferent eyes startled Derrick, who had just opened his eyes after praying.

Derrick suddenly felt stiff all over. The soft child in his arms seemed to have turned into a cold and hard snake in an instant, and he was the tree trunk that the snake was climbing. Ouroleus stared at the sky above, with the thread of fate spinning in his silver eyes, turning into a river.

…

Klein, who was admiring the scenery of the God War ruins by the window, had no choice but to enter the bathroom again, put out disturbing objects, and walked four steps backward to reach above the gray fog.

He sat on the high-backed chair at the top of the long bronze table, stretched out his right hand, spread his spirituality, and touched the group of crimson stars that symbolized the small "sun".

Suddenly, the voice of prayer became extremely clear, and the corresponding picture appeared in front of Klein's eyes.

He first saw the little "sun" that was still a little blurry, and then realized that something was wrong with the environment he was in!

There was unspeakable darkness flowing around the "sun", and eyes of different shapes in the darkness were watching him silently.

These eyes are densely packed, vague, dark and introverted, like uninvited onlookers, but the little "sun" is unaware of it.

Is afternoon town so dangerous? Klein is very familiar with what "Sun" classmate is going to do recently.

He thought about it and intuitively felt that the darkness was very weird and not real enough, so he gave up the option of using the "Poseidon Scepter" to respond to the little "sun" and instead pulled the opponent into the gray mist.

Klein showed his spirituality, but felt that the crimson star seemed to be stuck in a swamp, making his act of pulling people very difficult.

Next, Klein saw a strange white ball of cloth in Derrick's arms. This cloth ball was nothing compared to Derrick's height. Coupled with the countless eyes and flowing darkness around him, Klein didn't notice it for the first time, thinking it was just a package.

First a small hand stretched out from the package, and then a baby with white hair emerged.

The baby looked around in the void, looking for direction. Soon, he turned his head and looked straight at Klein, who was sitting in the seat of "The Fool", with a pair of silver-white eyes!

He is, is He the "Angel of Destiny" Urolius of Silver City? How could He be in Derrick? Obviously the last time "The Sun" reported the situation to me, it wasn't there yet! Klein was horrified, but soon he noticed that Ourolius did not seem to find his location accurately. He was just looking above the seat of "The Fool" where there was the "Pupilless Eye, Thread of Change" "I glanced at the sign, and then immediately closed my eyes.

At the same time, Klein vaguely saw a circle of silver light flashing around the body of the little "sun". The flowing strange darkness and countless eyes quickly retreated into the distance, and the surrounding scene suddenly shattered.

…

The "Demon Hunter" entered the basement on high alert, followed closely by Haim and Joshua.

They saw Derrick Berg's figure quickly sketched out in front of the dim candlelight like a picture.

Then, they heard a soft cry. The infant child covered his eyes and kept struggling and twisting in Derrick's arms. Two lines of blood and tears flowed down from his eyes. In white swaddling clothes.
