Part 5. The Red Priestess Chapter 176 – Instructions from the Fool
On top of the gray mist, seeing “Lightslayer” Milgungan rapidly aging and decaying into white bones, Klein was reminded of Mobet, Shattas, Lonzel, and Snorman, who had left “Grocer’s Travels” in the first place.
He was too late to stop them, and now he was too late to stop them, because the leader of the “royal court hunters” had not chanted the name of the “Fool”, and could not be pulled into the gray fog.
However, Kraven, who was holding the Scepter of Poseidon and utilizing the Prayer Points, was able to do more than before.
He immediately accommodated the “Black Emperor” card, mobilized the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog, and let the “paper angel” bring its own words, and with the help of the crimson star, entered the real world and fell to the “Lightslayer”. “Milgungan’s mutilated spirit.
This was the least he could do for the “Fool”, after all, the “Real Creator” was still watching the area.
As Milgungan’s consciousness blurred, an angel with layers of black feathers suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The speed at which his spiritual body collapsed slowed down a bit, and a grand and majestic voice rang in his ears:
”What are the promotion rituals and supporting materials for the ‘Silver Knight’ magic potion?
”Is it true that Saslir sleeps within the palace of the Giant King?”
Milgungan replied in dull confusion:
”The promotion ritual for ‘Silver Knights’ comes from the ‘Desecrated Tablet’, which requires setting up an intricate altar, placing the remains of the six powerful creatures one has hunted in the right place, and receiving the blessing of the gods ……
”The supporting materials are ……
”I cannot be certain, in any case, the door was never opened again after Lord Saslir entered ……”
In the midst of his reply, the spirit of Milgungan slowly but surely dissipated, and finally, unable to support himself any longer, he turned into a sheet of light and merged into the unchanging twilight of the “Court of the Giants”.
This conversation took place in the “mind”, so no one else could hear it.
Luckily, I was careful enough not to let Milgungan tell me the main ingredient of the “Silver Knight” potion, but I could have just replaced it with the Extraordinary Characteristics, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to hear the answer to the second question. …… “Fool” quietly relieved himself. Fool” quietly breathed a sigh of relief and praised himself in his mind.
He then withdrew his attention and seriously pondered over what Milgungan had just said:
”God’s blessing? Will this promotion ceremony be a little too difficult, it’s only Sequence 3 ah …… Uh, to consider the context of the era, Milgongongon is a strong person who survived from the Second Age, and it’s customary to refer to angels as subordinate to gods and put them into the ranks of the gods, that is to say, an angel’s blessing should be enough, hmm, wait and use divination to make a confirmation… …Of course, even if the angel’s blessing is possible, there’s nothing I can do for the time being, it depends on whether Silver City’s ‘0’ level seal has the characteristic of being alive or not, and whether or not it can be communicated ……
”The arrangement of that altar is really a bit complicated …… Are the remains of six powerful creatures hunted with their own hands must be at the demigod level? For the ‘God forsaken land’ outside the ‘demon hunters’ is very difficult ah, which there are so many can be hunted demigod level creatures, the vast majority of them are powerful and organized and sheltered …… so It seems that the Church of the God of War should have a new alternative while keeping the essence of the ritual unchanged …… This is the difference between the second ‘Blasphemy Tablet’ and the first ‘Blasphemy Tablet’. ?
”However, for this not-so-young chief of Silver City, the number of powerful monsters he has killed must have long exceeded six …… That’s easy.”
Because Klein was certain that the second Blasphemous Tablet appeared after the fall of the Ancient Sun God, he was able to tell that “Lightslayer” Milgungan was talking about the first Blasphemous Tablet. He quickly summarized his own interpretation of the Jinn’s words.
He quickly materialized his interpretation of the promotion rituals and supporting materials on a piece of parchment, did a divination with a citrine pendulum, and received an error-free revelation.
He then threw the message at the crimson star representing the Sun.
”This is a gift from Mr. Fool.” With that done, Krynn smiled to himself, finding Milgungan’s answer to the second question more and more intriguing:
He did not say whether or not Saslir was actually sleeping, only that the gate had not been opened again after this dark angel had entered.
And what didn’t open was limited to that gate.
”The God of Knowledge and Wisdom gave me the key, and Adam gave me the Cross of No Darkness to open the door and confirm the status of the Dark Angel? As Klein’s thoughts turned, he was glad that the “Real Creator” didn’t seem too interested in the matter, because if this same person had tried to influence Milgungan’s disintegrating spirit, he would have been in the same position as the “Fool”. “paper angel” on the spot.
It would have been quite embarrassing.
It was only now that Derek dared to open his eyes, his face pale with blood loss – the cross had drawn a lot of blood from him in order to maintain the Domain of No Darkness.
He looked around, put the Cross of Darkness in front of him, and sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.
At this time, Heinem put away the “Thor’s Roar” hammer and his own weapon, unloaded the leather pouch on his back, and found a set of clothes and threw them to the chief.
For the Silver City Exploration Team, as long as the clothes and armor they wore were not magical items, it was inevitable that they would be damaged in battle, so they would definitely prepare a few more sets in advance.
–As far as they were concerned, the role of clothing to cover their bodies was secondary, and the most important thing was to provide space to store materials, potions, and charms.
Colin Iliad looked around vigilantly and did not find anything unusual before he quickly put on his clothes, found one of the metal vials that had fallen all over the ground during the battle just now, unscrewed the cork, and gulped it down.
His face turned a little greenish with it, as if he was showing signs of poisoning, though the wounds on his body and his failing breath were getting better.
Lovia, for her part, was no longer able to maintain her grazing of the silver-armored knight’s evil spirit, and took it into her body.
When the extraordinary characteristics of the Milgungan coalesced into a ball of silver-white light that resembled a heart and a miniature sun, and was put away by Colin the Demon Hunter, the Shepherd Elder looked toward the Giant King’s palace not far away with pale gray eyes and said:
”Chief, the path to the sea is probably hidden there.”
Lovia added after a moment’s pause:
”Perhaps there is also a way inside that allows us to reach the other side of the sea directly.”
Colin Iliad shook his head as he watched Derek, Heim, and the others clean up the battlefield, pick up items, and dispose of Antilna’s broken body:
”There’s a ‘Dark Angel’ sleeping inside, it’s definitely an Angel King, we can’t even fight against it at the moment, it’s difficult to even face it.
”Let’s go back first and tell everyone about the sighting of the sea, then we’ll make preparations to enter the Giant King’s palace.”
Lovia’s long silver-gray hair was slightly raised, her expression rarely sullen:
”But we don’t know anything and can’t make targeted preparations.”
After saying this, she was silent for two seconds and said:
”I have a proposal, you, Derek, Heinom and the others go back first, I will stay behind and try to enter this palace and gather useful information, I can blend into the shadows and perhaps not disturb that ‘Dark Angel’.
”If I don’t return, that means the danger inside exceeds the limits of what we can handle.”
Lovia’s expression didn’t change a bit when she mentioned that she might die, as if she had already prepared for it.
”Demon Hunter,” Colin said as he listened quietly and stared at her for a few seconds:
”No way.
”We can’t go through with that risk.
”If you wake up the ‘Dark Angels’, k could possibly leave the ‘Giant’s Court’ and attack Silver City, and we certainly wouldn’t be able to resist.”
Without waiting for Lovia to respond, Colin Iliad sidled his head and looked at the other three members of the team:
”Derek, what is your opinion?”
My opinion? Derek was rather bewildered, and almost asked a rhetorical question out of turn.
Heinem and the other “Knight of Dawn” were equally shocked, because this was an internal dispute within the “Council of Six”, and Colin Iliad would even ask Derek Berg for his opinion!
Could it be that the Chief is training Derek as the next elder of the Council of Six? The two members of the Exploratory Team thoughtfully looked at their teammates next to them.
…… Are you asking for my opinion? Above the gray fog, “Fool” Klein slightly frowned.
His brain immediately began to run at high speed:
”What opinion can I have?
”If I open the door and wake Sasriel, I won’t be able to save any of you, and you’ll have to pray to the Real Creator for help.
”It’s better to wait until I figure out the status of the ‘Dark Angels’ from the ‘Red Angel’ Evil Spirit and other related beings before exploring …… Dragon of Wisdom and Whatever Adam has in mind, don’t bother for now ……
”In any case, choosing steadiness and caution at times like this won’t be wrong.”
In the midst of his electric thoughts, Klein spoke majestically:
”Return.”
He then threw the image into the crimson star that represented the “sun”.
Derek was stunned for two seconds and answered the Chief’s question frankly:
”I think we should give up for now and come back when we are ready.”
Colin Iliad nodded and turned to Lovia the Shepherd:
”That is my decision.”
Lovia was silent for a moment and said:
”Follow your decision.”
She didn’t say any more and helped Derek and the others with their markings.
–Because Antilna and the others didn’t die at the hands of their blood relatives, it’s likely that a mutation will occur, so the exploration team will mark it so that those who come after them will be on the alert, but this place is far away from Silver City, so there’s no need to worry about affecting it there.
In the middle of the busyness, Lovia suddenly looked up and said to Derek and Heinom:
”This is the ‘Giant’s Royal Court’, it’s likely that there won’t be any mutations.”
Without explanation, she watched as the piles of Antilna’s flesh and blood were burned into ashes by the flames, then grabbed a handful and put them into one of her own leather pouches.
With that accomplished, the Silver City exploration team looked again to see if there were any other passages, and received a disappointing answer.
Then, led by Chief Colin Iliad, they began to return the way they came.
Entering the palace, which had lost its gates and had an “orchestra of oil paintings” playing, Derek couldn’t help but look back, once again, beyond the broken banisters, into the distance of the reddish-orange clouds, and out to the deep blue, gently moving sea.
After a few seconds of staring, he withdrew his gaze and realized that the Chief’s light blue eyes were also looking silently in that direction.
Colin then turned his head, his voice calm as usual:
”Go.”
Then, without looking back, he walked forward stoically.
