Part 5 The Red Priest Chapter 166 Travel Notes
Inside the grand palace above the gray mist, Krynn reached out his right hand and tapped up the edge of the long, mottled table, muttering silently to himself:
”The five great families of the Tudor Dynasty are Amon, Abraham, Antigonus, Jacob, and Tamara …… The ones who helped Alistair Tudor become the ‘Blood Emperor’ were the angelic kings such as Adam, Amon, and Abraham ……
”Does this infer that during the time of the United Empire of Tudor-Trenthorst, there were Amon and Abraham standing beside Arista, one of the twin consuls?
”If that were the case, ‘Blood Emperor’ Alistair Tudor would have enlisted the help of one or more of Amon, Abraham, and Antigonus when he didn’t try to switch paths in the first place and secretly built his tomb, and Bertram Abraham was the ‘Gate ‘ sir, master of the ‘Apprentice’ pathway, and when it comes to ‘teleportation’, the true gods probably can’t match k……
”So, is it possible that the ‘fixed-point teleportation’ of the Tudor Ruins was set up by Bertram Abraham?
”The probability is high!
”Well, only a great man of Mr. ‘Gate’s’ position can make the entrance and exit of a secret relic reach a similar degree, making it impossible for me to locate it with my divination above the gray mist, and making it difficult for the angels who reign over the hidden secrets to penetrate directly into it …… ”
With his thoughts in a whirlwind, Klein was becoming more and more inclined to believe that his suspicions were close to the truth.
I wonder if Mr. Door left any corresponding information, providing accurate positioning information or another way to enter and exit? This will have to let the “magician” Ms. ask her teacher again ……
Hey, I really hope Ms. Magician will become a “traveler” as soon as possible, so that she doesn’t have to rely on writing letters to contact her teacher, and can directly “teleport” there, well, she can do that now. But recording so many “trips” will scare her teacher and cause suspicion, it’s really troublesome. ……
If there is no record of the Abrahams family, should we try to talk to Mr. Gate? This is not only troublesome, but also dangerous …… Most importantly, Miss Magician has not yet reached Sequence 5, so she can’t hear clearly every time, and she can’t respond to Mr. Door, and I can’t turn her into my secret puppet, or turn her into my secret puppet, or turn her into my secret puppet. I can’t turn her into my secret puppet, or descend and possess her body. …… When Klein initially pulled “Magician” Forsyth above the gray mist, he seriously considered the problem of communicating with “Mr. Door” through the young lady after he had raised his sequence, but later, after he had raised his sequence, he decided to use the young lady to communicate with “Mr. Door”. “Later, the more he learned, the more fearful he became, and the more he dared not take risks.
Moreover, the level he was currently at lacked sufficiently effective and safe means.
With a flurry of thoughts, Klein suddenly sighed softly and spat out a single word:
”Patience ……”
……
Above the sea, within one of the islands where pirates were more active.
Voorhees picked up the glass and sipped the clear, colorless liquid rather expectantly.
Her face then scrunched up, as if she had tasted some food that was difficult to swallow.
”Yuck, this kind of Strong Lanzi is too inferior, why are they drinking it so happily?” Foerth put down his glass, raised his right hand, fanned it around his mouth, and mumbled twice in a low voice, “Aside from the alcohol content being high enough, it has absolutely nothing else going for it, and by the way, it’s cheap!”
After taking a sip of cold water from another mug, Voorhees picked up his fountain pen and wrote in a rather poor quality volume of notes:
”The pirates here seek only spirits and are price conscious; getting drunk is more important to them than anything else.
”Three pirate friends of my acquaintance told me that this port city was built up by themselves; at first they moored their ships here, hid their harvests, and housed their families; then, one after another, bankrupts, adventurers, and evaders of taxes, strayed here, and settled down, and cleared the land and planted the island, and built houses, and then a trading market was formed, and merchants on the sea flocked to the island like sharks that smell blood.”
Writing this, Voorhees raised his head and looked at the three pirates huddled in the corner:
”Do you have anything else to say?”
The three big, burly pirates shuddered at the same time and cried out:
”No more, really no more.”
…… I have to say, imitating the posture of Mr. “World” to deal with pirates, it feels really good …… Forsyth secretly sighed, shook his head, retracted his gaze, and continued to write:
”The culture here is very open, the women if they look at which man, the same can be open price, the same, men look at men, women look at women can also, according to my three pirate friends, drifting in the sea, because of the long depressing and boredom, it is inevitable that some people try to forbidden behaviors, in this regard, they are very honest, and they described their own experience. ……
”In addition, they let me know something I couldn’t believe in the past: pirates actually revere democracy and justice.
”This simply turned my perception upside down, but on reflection, it didn’t seem too hard to understand, at least they didn’t say they sought justice.
”The explanation for this from those three pirate friends is that when individuals plus weapons don’t have absolute, crushing strength, the majority on a pirate ship is definitely better than the minority, and it takes a lot of people to collaborate to steer a big ship……. These factors add up to lead to the pirate team being very democratic, and being voted in by their men expelled or even killed off by their captains every once in a while.
”I think that if the captain had absolute power, the pirate crew would certainly have developed a different shape.”
As he wrote this, Voorhees looked up at the window again, only to see a marketplace densely and messily surrounded by buildings of wood or stone piles under the blue sky and white clouds, and every now and then a few children in slightly tattered clothes could be seen bouncing past.
Listening to the extremely energetic hustle and bustle, Forsyth once again put pen to paper and wrote:
”There is a complete lack of urban planning here, with people building houses and expanding their boundaries so randomly that many of the roads can only be used for one person to walk on, and there is no sunlight to be seen at all ……
”My first thought was that in the event of a fire, the results would be extremely horrific, and that there had been a similar tragedy in Birkeland, but three of my pirate friends told me that this was nothing to worry about, as it is humid and rainy here, and the people with their strange powers never hide anything ……
”It has not yet been affected by the war, and though chaotic, it gives a feeling of tranquility.
”Also, what they feared and dreaded most was not Nast, ‘King of the Five Seas,’ nor all sorts of thrilling legends, but the mad adventurer Germaine Sparrow, and every pirate warned each other not to drink too late, not to walk at night, and not to go to the alleys for convenience, for that would probably lead to one’s disappearance, and the murderer was rumored to be that gentleman ……
”Is this a hunt?”
As he wrote, Forsyth’s expression grew grave, and he busily drew out another stack of paper and proceeded to make up what was already there:
”…… A special cold always pervades the nights at the hospital, and the darkness outside the windows is thicker than elsewhere ……
”…… No one knew why the young lady in the single room had asked her relatives to bring mushrooms and weeds, and no one was sure where they ended up; in any case, there were no traces of fires burning in the room, and no discarded detritus outside, which led several of the nursing ladies to suspect that the patient was secretly eating mushrooms and weeds raw ……”
……
Inside the afternoon town, built on a hill and divided into upper and lower levels, in the camp established by Silver City.
Derek Berg crossed his hands and held them against his mouth, chanting in a low voice:
”Fools who do not belong to this age …….”
After chanting reverently, he stood up, picked up the ancient cross covered in copper-green with spikes, and walked towards the campfire outside.
–Because the “Darknessless Cross” excludes other magical items, his giant hammer called “Thor’s Roar” can only be carried by Heinem and Joshua for the time being.
During the process of gathering the Silver City Exploration Team, Klein who was in Birkeland had already come to the gray fog, took up the “Scepter of Poseidon”, and by using the expansion and contraction of one of the crimson stars, he saw the situation of the town in the afternoon, and expanded his field of vision towards the “Court of Giants”. The Court of the Giants.
–Without the Prayer Point and Scepter of Poseidon, Klein would not have been able to see as much as he did through the Crimson Star.
As his line of sight moved, a gorgeous but low dusk gradually appeared in Klein’s eyes.
Where the dusk solidified and enveloped was a complex with countless palaces, countless towers, and heavy majestic walls, which were magnificent and ornate, as if they were wonders only found in myths and legends, and had stood still for a long time.
”The Court of the Giants.”
Klein tried to bring his vision closer, only to realize that he couldn’t make out the specifics of what lay beneath that dusk.
It is worthy of being the kingdom of the ancient gods, and it is not the kind that has been abandoned and hidden …… No wonder the angelic kings chose this place as a secret meeting place …… Hoping that the small “sun” would enter the I hope that the prayers of the little “Sun” after entering the area of the “Court of the Giants” will help me to see a little more clearly …… Klein nodded thoughtfully.
At the same time, he cast part of his attention to the “shepherd” elder Lovia, and found that this lady was hiding an illusory silver full body armor.
This should be the evil spirit she is herding …… For the time being, we have not yet seen the “real Creator” to exert any influence …… Klein slowly exhaled and patiently waited for the subsequent development.
After a while, under the leadership of Chief Colin Iliad, Derek Burger and other nine-member exploration team left the afternoon town camp, along the gray stone paved stairs, between a towering shadowy buildings, toward the summit.
They were at least Sequence 6 Extraordinary, and most of them belonged to the “Warrior” pathway, and traveled quite fast, clearing a few waves of monsters, mainly rotten giants, before finally arriving at the dusk-covered area, and were so shocked by the huge and epic architecture that no one spoke for a short while.
It was also the first time they had encountered a place where there was no lightning alternating with “natural” light!
Colin “The Demon Hunter” narrowed his eyes, took out a metal vial and drank the liquid inside.
Generation after generation, they had become more accustomed to the frequent darkness and depths of the lightning, and had an instinctive fear of this solidification in the twilight.
Both hopeful and fearful.
After drinking the prepared potion and preparing themselves accordingly, Colin Iliad and Lovia the Shepherd led the members of the questing party into the twilight glow ahead.
Before Derek had a chance to sense anything, he saw the Darknessless Cross fall from his hand, revealing a solid body of pure light.
The light emanating from this entity was no longer clear, but tinted with the characteristic orange-red color of dusk.
Immediately afterward, Derek felt his state drop to the bottom, as if he were at the most exhausted point of the “day”, ready to meet the coming night.
