Volume 7: The Inverted Man Chapter 4: “The Visit”
”Aboard the Poseidon, the members of the Silver City Pathfinder Team, including Levar and Candace, sat in chairs that didn’t quite fit them, and watched the Dwarves coming and going around them warily.
Of course, they all know very well that this should be normal human beings, after all, they all know that their own exaggerated height is brought about by the magic potion, but they still think that the people on this ship are too short, including that self-proclaimed God’s ambassador Lord Daniz, you know, in Silver City, excluding young children, enter the stage of development, and has not yet been upgraded to the sequence of the 6th residents of the average height of more than 1 meter 8 meters, among them, there is no lack of sequence of the 9th to reach the height of more than two meters! There was no shortage of extraordinary people who had reached two meters at sequence 9.
The slight rocking of the ship made these “half-giants” feel more or less uncomfortable, but their strong physique helped them quickly overcome the effects of this aspect, while the contrast between the boundless sea outside the window and the lonely ship made them uncontrollably generate emotions such as uneasiness, fear, and nervousness, just like participating in the exploratory mission for the first time, surrounded by a deep-seated, hidden and dangerous world that could attack them at any time. monsters that might attack them at any moment, hidden deep in the darkness.
Just then, Danez entered the room, which had been converted from a dining room, and smiled at the tall men, who were restrained and guarded, sitting stiffly and wearing strange clothing:
”Your food is ready, so you can enjoy your meal next.
”By the way, do not forget the precautions I have just told you; these waters are very dangerous.
”No need to get up, just sit down.”
Seeing that the young elder who called himself Derek and the several “half-giants” wanted to get up and talk to him in the most polite manner, Daniz was busy pressing down his hands to stop their uncivilized behavior.
If I were this tall, I would have already started mocking the people around me …… Danez grunted and clapped his palms together, signaling the crew to bring in the food.
A strong scent then drilled into the noses of Derek and the other residents of Silver City, the familiar smell that emanated from the roasting of meat and mushrooms, but with an additional, indescribable, and rather strange, slightly irritating odor.
The smell was so tantalizing that it made Liaval, Candace, and the others’ saliva go wild, awakening their stomach pockets all at once.
”Dixie-style barbecue.” Danez said, pointing to one of the crewmen coming in the doorway.
The crewman was carrying a large steel tray with piece after piece of meat roasted to a seething grease and a slight golden color, evenly sprinkled with cumin, basil, and other spices.
”Steak, sautéed meat and fish, white bread, seafood consommé, light beer ……” Daniz made the introductions one by one, and smiled at the end, “You don’t have to worry about a thing, you can let your bellies go completely, we have a very ample food reserves.”
After saying that, he glanced at the “half giants” that seemed to be trying to get up, and exited the room.
Candace, who had short, sharp hair, painstakingly withdrew her gaze from the food and swallowed her saliva:
”Elder Derek, what now?”
Although Derek believed that Mr. Fool’s divine messenger would not plot against him and the others, he still gave his customary cautious advice:
”Split into two groups, one to wait for the next meal, and one to try now.”
”Okay, Elder Derek.” Candace jolted to her feet and said, “I apply to join the trying group!”
The list of ten quickly came together, and Candace and Liawal walked over to the long table against the wall at the same time, and rather tacitly each took a piece of the most tantalizing so-called Dixie Roast.
In one bite, the full juices, the flavors trapped in the texture, and the sheer meatiness created a complex and layered experience in their mouths, causing them to chew just twice before they couldn’t wait to swallow the food into their stomachs for the next bite.
This was many times more delicious than the meat mushrooms they had eaten before.
Without realizing it, the ten Silver City residents had eaten until their eyes were filled with tears and their vision was blurred.
On the deck, Danez looked down the safe passage within the ruins of the Divine War, and considered the question of what to do with the followers of Mr. Fool afterward.
Suddenly, a sailor ran over and gasped:
”Lord God-Emperor, they’ve already finished eating, I hope they can come back for more!”
…… Where are these guys from? Daniz was baffled and said:
”Prepare another one for each of them.”
Seeing that sailor about to turn around, Daniz was busy adding:
”Starting tomorrow, organize a fishing trip for the crew!”
……
Sunia Sea, on an island without humans.
Klein initially adapted to the current state, collected his spirituality, and planned to “teleport” back to Beckland, summoning the “Magic Mirror” Arodes to ask for some information.
He didn’t rush to get the residents of Moon City to the outside world, he was going to wait for Daniz to settle the advance troops of Silver City and have enough experience before doing this, anyway, the way out of the “God’s Forsaken Land” had already been opened, he could utilize the way of answering prayers and rely on the ability of “Staff of the Star” to directly transfer the residents of Moon City to the outside world. He could use the way of answering prayers and rely on the ability of the “Star Staff” to directly transfer the entire Moon City out.
Of course, if the gate closes again, Klein also has a way to transfer the residents of Moon City to the Giant King’s residence and let them open the door by themselves – without the first “blasphemous tablet” and “dark angel” evil spirits Without the first “blasphemous tablet” and “dark angel” evil spirit, ordinary extraordinary people can push open the door.
As for the question of whether the “Real Creator” would interfere and block the door, Klein did not consider it, because the true god of sequence 0 could do it now, and he was unwilling and unable to stop it.
In addition, Klein believes that the “Real Creator” is not currently focused on this aspect, the most urgent thing is to catch Amon and retrieve the first “Blasphemy Tablet”.
”Strictly speaking, this is a family drama ……,” Klein said in his heart, grabbed the “writhing hunger” out of the air, and put this seal, which had been with him for a long time, on his left palm. He put this seal, which had been with him for a long time, onto his left palm.
His body quickly turned transparent and disappeared.
In the spirit world where the colors overlapped, Kraven was rapidly passing through a series of figures whose forms were hard to describe, approaching the coordinates representing Beckland.
Suddenly, he stopped and stood in the chaotic void that did not distinguish between up and down, left and right, front and back, and turned his gaze towards the seven different colors of pure light that occupied the highest part of the spirit world.
”Previously, due to the lower sequence, I didn’t dare to run around in the Spirit World and didn’t try to visit the seven lights that have some goodwill towards me, but now it seems that I can …… They themselves are the embodiment of various kinds of knowledge and have survived in the Spirit World for an unknown number of years, so they may know quite a few hidden secrets… … “Just as Klein turned to such thoughts, a light suddenly rose up in front of him, and an old man in orange robes appeared.
This old man was chubby in appearance, had a short white beard, and looked rather amiable.
He glanced at Klein and nodded smilingly:
”Your Highness, please allow me to introduce myself, you should still remember me, I am ‘Orange Light’ Hilarion.”
Last time I saw you very thin …… Klein asked with a smile while bellyaching:
”You seem to have foreseen that I wanted to pay you a visit?”
Hilarion did not hide it and laughed frankly:
”The spirit world itself is a variety of information intertwined, which some from the past, some originated from the present, and some indicate certain future, no matter divination, or prophecy, most of the methods are actually utilizing the spirit world, followed by relying on the peep of fate.”
What this “Orange Light” meant was that since Klein was in the spirit world, and had the idea of visiting, and was prepared to put it into practice, there would definitely be corresponding information that would be generated, so that the Seven Lights, which controlled the spirit world to a certain extent, would perceive it and make a prophecy.
Klein was not at all surprised, and nodded gently:
”Besides you, who else wants to meet me?”
He had originally planned to use honorifics, but considering the attitude of the Seven Lights and the way the “Orange Light” had addressed himself, he gave up on this plan to maintain the status of the “Source Castle” surrogate.
”Orange Light,” Hilarion laughed instantly:
”Both, both, Your Highness, you don’t mind, do you?”
Klein shook his head and responded rather politely:
”Of course, it would be my honor.”
As soon as he spoke, light of one different color after another rose up around Hilarion, transforming into different images of the old man.
”Your Highness, allow me to introduce you.” “Orange Light,” after seeing Klein’s nod, pointed to an extremely majestic old man wearing a large red robe and said, “k is ‘Red Light’ El Moria.”
The one who had once answered my question …… Klein immediately smiled, releasing his gratitude and friendliness.
In turn, Hilarion introduced “Yellow Light” Venetan, “Blue Light” Kutumi, “Green Light” Serapis, “Indigo Light” Hessus, and “Red Light” Kutumi. “Jesús, and St. Germain, the “violet light” (note 1).
”Yellow Light” Venetian …… Is this the same one who made the doomsday prophecy about the forefathers of the House of Abraham? Klein looked at the thin old man in lemon yellow robes with a long white beard and said with a smile:
”Then let’s sit down and chat.”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand.
The surrounding area instantly lit up with a little bit of dark red firelight, which came from a fireplace burning high-quality charcoal.
These flames then illuminated an easy chair, the grayish-yellow carpet, the cupboards, the sofa, the coffee table, the plaster statues, the white-glazed porcelain teacups, and other things, outlining a typical, warm, Birkeland-style sitting room.
”Have a seat.” Klein faced Seven Lights and smiled, pointing to the sofa and the high-backed chairs.
When Seven Lights was seated individually, Klein sat down to the easy chair, picked up his teacup, and said in a natural manner:
”Frankly speaking, I’ve always wanted to visit the seven of you, but I just could never find the opportunity to do so, and now I’ve finally realized this wish.”
”This is also our wish.” “Orange Light” seemed to be the most cheerful and outgoing of the Seven Lights, and immediately responded on behalf of all her companions.
Huh, with the feeling of fulfilling someone else’s certain wish …… Klein’s heart was happy and asked tentatively:
”Seven of you, what do you know about the stars or the old days and the outer gods?”
The relatively young looking “Indigo Light” Hessus, who was wearing a linen robe, answered with a serious expression:
”Your Highness, the Old Ones currently spying on our world are the ‘Fallen Mother Goddess’, the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’, and the ‘Sons of Chaos’, ‘Original Hunger’, ‘Ring of Predestination’, ‘Superstar Juggernaut’, and ‘Unquenchable Murmur’, ‘Decaying Monarch’, ‘High Dimensional Overlooker’ ……”
…… Would this be too much? Klein was a bit dumbfounded by what he heard.
