Part 6 The Light Exporter Chapter 68 Clues
“You guys try it too.” Klein handed the long, iron-black stick in his hand to the other Moon City residents.
Those people’s throats quirked and they couldn’t help but swallow another mouthful of saliva, but they didn’t respond immediately, and they all turned their gazes to High Priest Nim, waiting for him to nod his head.
From within the animal skin clothing wrapped around his body, Nim pulled out an item that appeared to be a magnifying glass with a handle.
At first glance, Klein almost looked at it as a monocle, his heart stopping a beat in fear, but he was able to control himself in time to confirm the details.
Gripping the thin metal handle, Nim brought the glass object up in front of his right eye and scrutinized Ruth through the lens for a few seconds.
After a brief moment of silence, he lowered the object and gave a slight nod to the remaining Moon City residents.
The people outside of Ruth finally reached out and carefully, and in a very orderly fashion, each took a mushroom off of the long, iron black stick and popped it into their mouths.
The texture, which contained no hint of disgusting odor or filth, intoxicated them instantly, and without caring about burning their mouths, they swallowed the mushroom in three swallows and instinctively reached out, wanting another.
But the mushrooms on the long, iron-black sticks were all divided up.
Nim withdrew his gaze from the iron black stick and waited for Germaine Sparrow to continue his story and the teachings of the Fool.
Klein looked around the circle and repeated what he had said earlier:
”Pick as many mushrooms as you wish from the surrounding area, except for the pure black kind, and in addition, they must be fully cooked before they can be consumed, or else a curse will befall them.”
The residents of Moon City no longer had the slightest hesitation, and immediately rose and chose the mushrooms they had long desired.
Klein took a glance and added:
”Those mushrooms that are clean and white will easily crack and ooze out liquid after they are roasted until they are cooked, so you will need to prepare some utensils or drink them in time.”
Without waiting for a response from Ruth and the others, he picked up where he left off and continued until he heard the voice of Mr. Fool chanting his name from the gray mist.
Seeing that the High Priest Nimue was listening intently, and was touched, Krynn spoke with deliberation:
”There are a number of other ways to make the gray mist react, but they all have to do with my Lord.”
He was a reasonable guess, because there was more than one person suspended, there was more than one way to enter the gray mist, if Rossel the Great came here with his imitation of the mysterious silver medallion, the probability is that it can also make this invisible barrier change, of course, provided that the Great belongs to the “soothsayer”, Of course, if the Great One belongs to one of the three paths: “Soothsayer”, “Apprentice” and “Stealer”.
Seeing that Nim and the others did not raise questions, Klein said warmly:
”From what I have observed, there is no single pathway to the extraordinary in ‘Moon City’.”
The gray-haired Nim did not hide anything and simply responded:
”Yes, when we were selected to come to Moon City, the divine messenger consciously made the extraordinary pathways comprehensive, but unfortunately, after so many years have passed, and after one disaster after another, many of the pathway’s magical potion formulas and extraordinary materials have been lost.”
”Which pathway are you from?” Klein asked in a seemingly casual manner as he watched the residents of Moon City flip roasted mushrooms using monster bones.
”I’m the ‘Night’s Watch’.” Nim said matter-of-factly.
Sequence 4 “Night Watchman” of the “Dark Night” pathway? Klein nodded gently and turned to ask:
”Has there been any anomalies occurring near this gray mist?”
Nim, who had a furrowed face, pondered for about ten seconds and said:
”There is.”
Klein’s heart stirred, and on the surface calmly asked on this topic:
”What kind of abnormality?”
Nim swept a glance at the mushrooms that were bubbling up with a gust of flavor and deliberated on his words:
”A small hill suddenly disappeared, leaving only a deep crater in its place.
”There were no signs of an explosion in that area, and no dirt spilled around it.”
What is this? Kind of a weird scene …… Klein asked without any change in expression while throwing the roots of the mushrooms into the fire and letting them become fuel:
”Have you guys done any further investigation?”
”Yes.” High Priest Nim of Moon City nodded and said, “An investigation team met a Demon Wolf there, not a monster Demon Wolf that has decayed or mutated, but the original kind of Demon Wolf.”
Demon wolf? Klein didn’t expect to hear such information, and his pupils changed slightly as he asked a follow-up question:
”What does that Demon Wolf look like?”
Nim unconsciously sucked in air and said:
”It’s the same as the Demon Wolf described in the ancient literature, but it’s even more gigantic, even if it lands on all eight feet at the same time, it’s as tall as two or three people combined.
”Its fur color is not pure pitch black, giving a dark and deep feeling, its eyes are very strange, mostly pupils, black pupils, and also, it has a handful of short gray hairs on the top of its head ……”
Isn’t this …… the Umbral Ember Demon Wolf Kotal? It had actually come to the easternmost part of the Godforsaken Land and was related to a mutation? If the power that made the Western Continent disappear really came from the “Source Castle”, attracting mythical creatures that correspond to the “Miracle Masters” would be normal. …… Klein’s brow furrowed slightly. said:
”It didn’t attack your investigation team?”
Klein intentionally used it instead of K so as not to scare the people of Moon City.
He thought that it would be very easy for Kotal, the Ebony Demon Wolf, to exterminate an investigation team, and he could even turn Moon City into K’s “secret puppet kingdom” without paying too much, but to his surprise, this mythological creature seemed to have spared Moon City.
If not for the fact that Klein had seen the “spirit threads” of Nim, Ruth and the others in advance and confirmed their status, he would have suspected that the ones he was talking to were just secret puppets.
”No, it left in a hurry.” Moon City High Priestess Nim said truthfully.
This is not in line with the suspicious and cautious character of the Oo Ember Demon Wolf ah …… what scared k to flee so hastily, not even bothering to silence the people who saw them …… or perhaps the Moon City people who are guarded here by the ancient Sun God oracle have some sort of specialness, and if not necessary, the Oo Ember Ember Demon Wolves don’t want to attack them if they don’t have to? Klein continued to ask without any change in his speech:
”Did it leave any traces?”
”No.” Nim shook his head with certainty, “Other than the hill turning into a deep pit, we didn’t find anything unusual.”
Klein’s thoughts raced and tried to ask from another angle:
”When was this?”
The more he knew about an event an item from the past, the more he could reach through the mists of history.
Nim thought back for a moment and said:
”Two years, two months and ten days ago.”
He whirled around to explain:
”There are so few things worth recording that I’m impressed.”
Two years, two months and ten days ago …… Currently it was September 8, 1351, and backwards it was June 28, 1349 …… This …… Klein’s right hand suddenly shook slightly for a moment.
His pupils, his expression, are normal, but this is the result of the “clown” intentionally control.
He remembers very clearly, June 28, 1349 was the day he “crossed over” and became Klein Moretti, the day he repeated the transfer ceremony and entered the “Source Castle” in the true sense of the word!
The strange changes here, the appearance of the Ebony Demon Wolf, and the hasty departure of this mythological creature, all have something to do with me? A huge wave surged in Klein’s heart.
He couldn’t find an explanation for a moment, and skimming over this point as if nothing had happened, he thought for a moment and said:
”Has anything else like this happened within the past two or three thousand years?”
”No.” Nim made a very definite answer.
”What about two hundred and eight years ago, was there anything in particular?” Klein followed up with a question.
That was the time when Emperor Russell “crossed over” to this world.
Nim hesitated for two seconds and said:
”I can’t tell you the exact answer, I need to go back and look through the corresponding records.
”Fortunately, the information and documents within the last three hundred years have not been damaged.”
With that said, he added:
”My limited impression tells me that there should be nothing special.”
If that’s the case, then the source of the change here and the appearance of the Ebony Demon Wolves was my entering the Gray Mist and binding the “Source Castle” to myself? Klein nodded gently and said simply without asking any more questions:
”Tell me where that deep pit is.”
Waiting for High Priest Nim to answer, the residents of Moon City baked mushrooms can be eaten, some of them lightly bit into the white mushrooms, by the inside of the milk hot, but can not spit it out, some repeatedly chewing, recalling the faint sweet aroma, some one after another, simply can not stop their mouths.
Nim looked a little stunned, as if he couldn’t believe that these were the people of Moon City:
Each and every one of them was permeated with the two contradictory feelings of hunger and thirst and fulfillment, with a seemingly twisted expression on their faces, but overflowing with pure joy.
”High Priestess, you taste it too.” Ruth, whose two eyes were squeezed close together, handed Nim a mushroom covered in golden patches and emitting a peculiarly sweet aroma.
Nim hesitated and cautiously looked at it with the “magnifying glass” before taking the mushroom and stuffing it into his mouth.
In the next second, he looked slightly moved and slowly half-closed his eyes.
He had tasted similar flavors in some of the mutated roots, but nothing so pure and evocative.
After an unknown amount of time, Nim looked over at Germaine Sparrow, whose expression was indifferent, and said with unusual sincerity:
”Your Excellency, we would like to listen to the teachings of Mr. ‘Fool’.”
I haven’t had time to make this up yet …… However, as I get closer and closer to the angelic rank, it’s time for the appropriate things to be put on the agenda …… Anchor has to be prepared in advance …… Klein’s thoughts In a flash of lightning, he remembered the words he had used when he was trying to persuade, no, to reform the followers of “Poseidon”.
His expression quickly became solemn, raised his right hand, grabbed into the void, dragging out a cross covered with copper and green spikes.
Klein then pressed his right thumb on one of the thorns and let the blood soak into the “Darkness Cross”.
The surface of the “No Darkness Cross” quickly peeled off the copper and green, revealing a body made purely of sunlight.
”God said ……,” Klein opened his mouth, uttered in a low voice, and raised the Radiant Cross in his hand a lot higher.
Warm, bright, penetrating light rushed out like a tidal wave, instantly filling the surrounding area.
The darkness and discomfort that had built up within Nim, Ruth, and the others began to melt away rapidly, as if their bodies and minds had been purified.
They were vaguely in a bit of a trance, only to hear the divine messenger who held up a radiant cross and was shrouded in divine colors solemnly say:
”God said ……
”First Commandment: there shall be no living sacrifice, no human sacrifice.
”Second commandment: thou shalt not take my name in vain.”
