Chapter 200 My God's Messenger, I Finally See You
Chapter 200 My god’s messenger, I’ve finally waited for you...
Looking at the introduction of [Old Furnace] on the panel in front of him, Ryan's eyes showed surprise.
Turns out, it’s really related to “forging in the furnace”!
After being overjoyed, Ryan pulled the [Old Furnace] out of the rock wall.
After a long period of wear and tear, the surface of the dark red furnace appeared to be pitted and pitted, making people wonder whether this thing could still be used.
After examining and experimenting for a while, Ryan put the [Old Furnace] into the space ring.
Although he had obtained the information about "Forging in the Furnace", he did not have the conditions to use it at the moment.
According to the instructions on the panel, although the [Old Furnace] has the ability to refine deformed souls and obtain the true power within them, you need a "Salt King" to use this thing.
Ryan just tried it, and no matter what kind of energy he input, [Old Furnace] didn't respond at all.
Obviously, it is not purely a matter of energy intensity, but should be related to the special status of the "Salary King".
After scanning the surroundings again to make sure nothing was missing, Ryan easily jumped to the surface using the bumps on the rock wall.
Looking at the large courtyard in a mess, no, the word "ruins" is more appropriate to describe it now, Ryan shook his head.
These ancient buildings passed down from hundreds of years ago were completely buried after the First World War. Perhaps future generations can get a glimpse of the glory of the past from the traces on the ruined walls. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with Ryan.
His figure gradually faded away, leaving only a huge hole, facing the gloomy sky, as if he was telling something.
…
"Xilulu..."
The neighing of the war horses came from far away. As soon as Ryan arrived at the place where he and Quinn were separated, a brass carriage appeared from a corner not far away.
The carriage stopped in front of Ryan, and Quinn dismounted and said respectfully: "Lord Zifeng."
"Yeah." Ryan nodded slightly and then walked into the car.
Sitting on the comfortable and soft chair inside the box, he did not close the door, but turned his head and looked at Quinn beside the car: "Is there any place like this?"
"..." Quinn maintained a respectful posture of looking down at the ground, but violent waves arose in his heart.
What does Lord Zifeng mean by this, is that the monsters here have been dealt with?
It was less than half an hour before and after, right?
Although he had already estimated Lord Zifeng's strength, Quinn knew that he had underestimated him after all.
What kind of Paladin is this? At least it starts as a brave one!
Master Zifeng, who exactly is he...
Quinn sighed deeply, and after adjusting his emotions, he respectfully said: "I'm sorry, Lord Zifeng, this is the only thing I'm sure of."
"The other uncertainties are either the ancient ruins deep in the Poison Swamp Forest, or the Brass Branch Temple in other remote areas. The former is too dangerous. It is said that there are 'things from the abyss' in the ancient ruins. Signs of activity.”
"The 'thing of the abyss' is immortal, cannot be erased, and is so powerful that it is terrifying. It is said that the saint Iocillis once visited the ancient ruins, but finally returned defeated, which shows its danger."
"Have Saint Iochilis been there?" Ryan frowned.
When Quinn first said "immortality and indelibility", he didn't care much about it. After all, the so-called immortality had no way of escaping in the face of "killing", but one of the "Salt King" Saints... Iocillis has been to the ancient miracles, but still can't solve the "thing in the abyss", so this thing is really a bit scary.
Not to mention "immortality", pure strength alone is probably not something Ryan can touch now.
After raising the traveling clone level to level 20 and unlocking [Blue King], Ryan's strength has been greatly improved.
Compared to the end of his last journey, when he was killed by an arrow from Saint Iochilis, Ryan's combat prowess has now completely surpassed that of legend, and has officially entered the realm of demigods.
Even so, after roughly comparing the strength of the arrow last time, Ryan still did not have the confidence to defeat Saint Aeochilis.
Among demigods, there are also differences between strong and weak.
As a former hero, before he was dedicated to the "nourishing" of the original wind, Saint Iochilis' strength should not have been an ordinary hero level, so that after the "dedication", his strength still did not drop to that of a hero, and even It seems that he is not the worst among heroes.
Of course, the most important thing is the issue of weapons.
Although the Azure Sword is a pseudo-artifact, the soul of the sword, Noelle, is sleeping and cannot exert the true power of the pseudo-artifact. Instead, he uses the [Crown Dragon-Slaying Great Sword] to fight the Saint Aeochilis. Ryan It is very doubtful that this sword that has been with him for a long time will be damaged or even scrapped soon after the war.
If he wants to defeat Saint Iocillis, Ryan must prepare a good weapon.
With his thoughts at this point, Ryan nodded slightly: "Since there is no target, let's go to the Yellow Sect's station first. The Brass Bishop and the Black Eclipse Tree, I think it should be enough as a meeting gift, right?"
"Enough! Enough!" Quinn nodded hurriedly. He was afraid that if he didn't say enough, next time Lord Zifeng would go to attack some high-ranking brass church.
After all, among the brass bishops in each region, there are only Saint Aeochilis himself and the archbishops under his command.
After hearing Quinn's reply, Ryan looked back.
The brass carriage drove toward the distance, gradually being swallowed up by the last rays of the setting sun, and the originally gloomy world was completely buried in darkness.
While going to the Yellow Sect's headquarters, Ryan was meditating and thinking about the "furnace refining".
The reason for going to the Yellow Sect's headquarters was that he wanted to meet the actual person in charge of the Yellow Sect now.
According to the introduction on the panel, this [old furnace] was once circulated in the hands of major sects. In this way, the major sects should have a deeper understanding of the "furnace refining" technology.
Although the Yellow Sect has experienced a split and its overall strength is no longer as good as before, the corresponding literature records should not be interrupted, right?
In addition, Ryan also wanted to see the situation of ordinary people who survived under the protection of the Yellow Sect.
About two hours later, the brass carriage stopped, and Quinn's voice came from the front: "Lord Zifeng, we need to walk on the next road."
"After all, the brass carriage comes from the Brass Church. It is uncertain whether it has positioning means. For the sake of safety, it cannot be allowed to enter the scope of the Yellow Sect's headquarters. Please forgive me."
Ryan said nothing, got off the carriage, and went deep into the woods ahead under the respectful leadership of Quinn and the other two.
The blood-red crescent moon hung high in the sky.
Looking at this completely different moon scene, Ryan's eyes showed curiosity.
Noticing the direction of Ryan's eyes, Quinn led the way in front and said carefully: "Since the gods no longer have mercy on the world, even the moon has turned blood-red. This is the sadness of the world."
After going deep into the woods for an hour, Quinn led them to a seemingly ordinary rock and stopped.
He took out something like a key from his arms and inserted it into the gap on the rock. The next moment, this rock, which Ryan perceived as normal, emitted a faint light, and then a slowly rotating portal appeared in front of several people.
"Lord Zifeng, please, I have informed Lord Luca of your coming."
"Later, I will take you to the 'Huangji Temple' to meet Lord Luca."
"Please forgive me, because of special reasons, Lord Luca cannot come in person, you will understand when you see him later."
Quinn's tone was apologetic, and in order to show the safety of the portal, he took Anya in.
Ryan stepped in.
In the process of crossing the portal, there was a feeling of space teleportation, but the amplitude was very light, indicating that the distance of teleportation was not very far.
When the sight in front of him returned to normal, what appeared in Ryan's eyes was a very strange place.
There was no sky here, instead, there was a layer of fake bright galaxy.
But even if it was fake, it still made people feel a lot happier than the cruel gloom and blood moon.
Ryan was standing on a large square at the foot of the mountain, and in the distance of the square was a large residential area.
From his perspective, he could see the lights flickering in the night.
Ryan exhaled lightly.
After coming to this world, it was the first time he felt the breath called "human habitation".
"Master Zifeng, welcome to the Yellow Sect's base - Starlight City, which is also one of the few remaining humanistic cities in this country."
Quinn's voice was proud and a little lonely.
He was proud of the Yellow Sect's persistence, and it was because of this persistence that he stayed in the Yellow Sect. The loneliness was that the country that was so glorious and magnificent in the past now only had a few "normal" cities.
"This is a residential area. The 'Huangji Holy Temple' where Master Luca is located is located at the top of the mountain in front. Please follow me."
Quinn led the way in front. As for Anya and Hosde, they left silently. Ryan didn't care about this and just walked along.
As he walked forward, he carefully observed the residents around him.
Although they were in the house, this simple wooden house naturally could not block Ryan's spiritual perception.
The complexion of these residents was not very good, and they were obviously malnourished, but they did not have any symptoms of "gray erosion disease". Compared with those poor people who turned into "gray corpses", they were already living in heaven.
"The materials in Starlight City are not rich..."
Ryan made a preliminary judgment in his heart.
Not long after, he came to the gate of Huangji Temple, which was located on the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire Starlight City, under the leadership of Quinn.
Looking down from here, it can be clearly seen that the wooden houses of residents with lights on only occupied a small part of the Starlight City.
But even so, the lives of the residents are still difficult.
Shaking his head, this kind of livelihood issue is not what Ryan is good at.
"Lord Zifeng, please come in."
Looking at Quinn who was bowing at the door of the temple, Ryan nodded slightly, and then walked into the wide open metal door.
After passing through a long passage, a magnificent temple appeared in front of Ryan.
The statue of the God of Wind, which is tens of meters high, stands in the center of the deepest part of the hall, so that everyone who enters here can see the statue of the god at the first time.
Ryan's eyes retracted from the statue and looked at the "human" figure on the high platform under the statue, with a complex look in his eyes.
He walked step by step to the bottom of the high platform, and when he stood still, a magnetic and soft voice came into his ears.
"Sorry, I can't greet you in person."
"You can also see that in my current state, I can't leave the "Huangji Holy Temple" at all."
The person on the high platform has a plump and perfect female image in the upper body, but the lower body has become a twisted and fat meat ball, similar to a wriggling maggot.
A layer of gauze covered her ugly lower body, but in the eyes of a professional at Ryan's level, whether the gauze existed or not made no difference at all.
Purity and dirt, perfection and imperfection, exist harmoniously in individuals.
"My name is Luca Rosalia, the current archbishop of the Yellow Sect, the former saint and leader of the Yellow Sect."
"Lord Zifeng, this is our first meeting. We apologize for any inconvenience."
"Sir?" Ryan narrowed his eyes.
Quinn called him "sir". He understood that after all, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great. But in his perception, the strange woman named "Luka" who was half human and half maggot in front of him had a soul that fluctuated endlessly. When she was weak, , that is, at the knight level. When he is strong, he even far surpasses the brass bishops.
With such strength, why would she call herself "Sir"?
"Yes..." Archbishop Luca's tone was still gentle, but it was filled with a lot more respect and faint excitement: "Five hundred years, a whole five hundred years, my God's messenger, I have finally waited for you..."
"O God, as merciful as you are, in the end, you never gave up on your people."
Ryan frowned slightly: "How did you know?"
"Master God Envoy, please rest assured." Archbishop Luka's tone returned to its original softness: "Except for me, not even the other 'Kings of Salary' can know your true identity."
"And that's why I recognize you."
Archbishop Luka took out a thumb-sized spar that was emitting a dense blue light: "This is the 'divine crystal' given by the god five hundred years ago. It can sense your breath, the envoy of the gods."
"Before the god left, he left a prophecy and this 'divine crystal', which was passed down from generation to generation by the saints of the Yellow Sect and would never be told to the third person's ears. However, due to special reasons, the contemporary saints Unable to fulfill her duties as a saint, she gave the 'divine crystal' to me for safekeeping."
"I see..." Ryan said softly.
He didn't completely believe what the other party said, even though there was nothing unusual in the introduction on the panel.
——
[Grand Priest of the Yellow Sect, Luca Rosalia]: The current archbishop of the Yellow Sect, a former saint, in order to protect the City of Starlight, she chose to integrate herself into the Starlight Formation and become the center of the formation. In this way, she can Fully stimulating the power of the Starlight Formation, it is a power that even the "Salary King" is helpless.
However, the burden and pollution brought by the Starlight Array were too heavy, causing Luca Rosalia's lower body to transform into a maggot-man.
According to legend, the Maggots are a strange race from outside the world, and the center of the Starlight Array is the most precious treasure of the Maggots.
As the most devout believer of the Wind God, Luca Rosalia has persisted with her strong faith to this day, just waiting for the prophecy of the arrival of the divine messenger.
——
The prompts on the panel revealed a lot of secret information, which made Ryan feel anxious.
Maggot people...a race from outside the world...the Starlight Formation...
Originally, Ryan was still wondering why the power of Saint Iochilis allowed Huang Jiaogou to survive until now. It turned out that it was the guardian of the Starlight Array.
"call……"
Sighing lightly, Ryan looked at Archbishop Luca on the high platform and said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me what is the 'aftermath of the disaster' that caused Dawn Hills to become what it is now?"
