Start with the Readers Chapter 35: The Gate of Mythology
Abner felt that his body and mind were gradually settled and peaceful, and he entered a half-dream and half-awake state, and his consciousness became chaotic.
It was like the night after he returned from the first floor of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower". "Taste the body.
Just like this, he didn't know how long it had passed in a daze, and he didn't know what he had experienced, but when Abner woke up again, he found that he had returned home, lying on his bed, as if he had gone to the Harvest Church before. The experience is just a dream.
But he immediately sensed something, looked down, and saw a black star-shaped gemstone accessory lying quietly on his chest. No, it was more like "embedded" in it, There is also a faint connection with the red fine lines left by the "Blessing of the God of Beauty" on the forehead.
Seeing this, Abner showed a thoughtful look, and then opened the "Pure White Eye" to "analyze" it. "Although it is impossible to fully understand its 'principle' and 'function', it can be generally confirmed that this thing is related to the authority of 'darkness' and 'secret'
"But how to use it, but it can't be 'analyzed'
This is most likely due to 'secret'!
"So.... I just saw the goddess again in my dream
"No, it should be said that the goddess led me into a special dream again
"The last time was to give me a reward... what is it this time
"Besides, why did he send me home directly... Well, look at the time, it's already early in the morning, and it's not far from the appointment time with Edwina
"It's Lilith who has something to do, so the goddess who is an ally of robes came to receive me
"In addition, when Will suggested that I come to the Harvest Church, he showed a rather 'weird' smile...why is that?"
Groping for the black gemstone on his chest, Abner's expression became more puzzled, and he sighed after a while, thinking to himself: "Why do existences that involve the power of 'fate' love to be riddlers so much?
"Compared to Lilith, the goddess' behavior is even more unpredictable!
"Of course, Lilith's care and love for me is probably more of an appearance... She may want to use this to increase her humanity, or she may have some deeper plans
"After all, how can an ancient **** who has survived from the Second Epoch be really bound by feelings
"But regardless of whether this friendship is true or not, since I have benefited, I will have to repay it sooner or later
In the basement of the Church of the Harvest.
With silver hair and silver eyes, the "Beauty" Lilith, who was wearing the red dress that Abner prepared when she came to the Harvest Church last night, looked at the "darkness" gradually receding in the prayer hall, and turned her head in "discomfort".
At the same time, a sound like a night's lullaby suddenly sounded:
"He has gained divinity, communicated with there, even with Robe
"Before he is promoted to an angel, you can no longer get in close contact with him with this body that you got from him
"It will upset the balance.
"Whether it's him or you
"You should still remember the lessons from Lamia's experiment."
After listening quietly, Lilith was silent for a while before asking: "What about you?"
"I'm far less 'polluted' than you..." Ten seconds later, the soothing voice reappeared, "And, as I said long ago, using emotions to create 'bonds' , Let him gradually have a self different from the robe in the whole life, and finally make up his mind to restrain the sleeve
"There are many specific ways to achieve this goal. It does not necessarily require too much close contact. It is sometimes better to maintain a sense of mystery and distance.
"You have never been a real human being. Even if you have the experience of Lamia, it is just a 'simulation'. It will only arouse his desire through temptation. This has a certain effect, but it does not make him feel too deep. feelings
"At this point, 'knowledge', even his friends in this life are better than you!"
Lilith pondered for a moment, then said again: "What am I missing?"
"The sincerity of being a human being!" With this phrase, the "darkness" completely dissipated, and the sunlight shone into the church along the glass windows.
In the Land Abandoned by God, lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the stacked gray buildings ahead.
"Demon Hunter" Colin with double swords on his back. Iliad pointed to the opposite side and said:
"That is Afternoon Town."
His neglected gray hair swayed in the wind that blew across the fields.
So fast... Derrick, who was carrying the "Hurricane Axe", felt quite surprised.
He immediately felt relieved, thinking that this was reasonable, because the King's Court of Giants itself was located in the area near the City of Silver, and the afternoon town was one of the nodes connecting the two sides.
With the help of the lightning that illuminated the night, he could clearly see the appearance of Afternoon Town. It was built along the foot of the mountain and was naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels. It was said that it was a town, but it was actually no smaller than most of the ruins found in the City of Silver.
On the other side of the town, a strange mountain peak that fell and broke into several pieces quietly scattered into a large area, which was full of ruins of buildings with no original style.
The only intact structure is a half-collapsed tower, which stands on the largest ruin of the mountain and is connected to the stairs leading to the middle level of afternoon town, making it a good ready-made stronghold.
"That's the tower that Little Jack got. It's really a good place to stay. No wonder they rested there in the first place
"However, even if you don't count the fallen floating city, this town is completely different from what the textbook describes... Derrick suddenly recalled the knowledge he learned in history class.
According to the records of the City of Silver, Afternoon Town is the gate that separates reality from mythology, where humans and giants live together. There is night and day here, but all daytime is in the "afternoon" state, regardless of heavy fog, rainstorm, or When the ice and snow hit, they couldn't hide the more violent sunlight, but at this time, the place was dark and gray, and even if it was illuminated by lightning, it lacked a sense of brightness and was lifeless.
Holding the handle of the ax tightly, Derrick, with two miniature suns in his eyes, walked on the side of the exploration team, and followed the "chief" Colin step by step into Afternoon Town.
This place has been cleaned up once during the initial exploration, the streets are covered with rotten pieces of meat and traces of dried pus, the surroundings are quiet, there is no sound at all.
"Be careful, there are many strange monsters hiding in the darkness as the gate of mythology." Colin with old scars on his face, Iliad did not be scornful, and pulled out one of the two swords on his back with his backhand. restrained.
This is the gate of mythology... I remember that Mr. "Tower" once mentioned inadvertently that all places with the meaning of "gate" should not be ignored, because there may be some deep secrets hidden there or dangerous
Combined with the reminder given by Mr. "Tower" through Mr. "Fool" before we set off
The other layer of weird and dangerous town he mentioned is the danger lurking here
As soon as he thought of this, Derrick suddenly saw an altar in a residential building with three names on it:
"Ouroreus;
"Medic;
"Saslier~IndoMTL.com~Isn't this the name of "Angel of Destiny"? "Mr. Fool" mentioned that Medici is also the king of angels, and Saslier is another one. Derrick was suddenly excited, but also scared, and hurriedly turned his head, wanting to invite his companions to watch together.
But as far as he could see, the entrance of the house was empty and dark, and Heim and Joshua, who were supposed to be following behind, were gone! I entered the other side of the "door", into another layer of weird and terrifying small town
Bayam, the basement of Fragrant Manor.
As the circle of flames lit up, Edwina, who was wearing a rather simple white shirt and a pair of simple brown trousers underneath, appeared on the "Teleportation Altar".
She smiled slightly at Abner who had been waiting here, her light blue eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
"Are you ready?" Abner asked with a smile.
"Ready
"The result of the prophecy is not too bad." Edwina said with certainty.
"Let's go now!"
After speaking, Abner took off his clothes graciously, and then used the "secret technique" composed of the abilities of the "druids" to transform into a "giant bear".
This secret technique is inspired by the former "Lilith's Tears"
The ruins are deep underground. If you don't want to attract official attention, it is more convenient to use the "big bear" form to "sneak underground".
Seeing this, Edwina, who had exchanged the "bear changing" secret technique with Abner before, pursed her lips, and reached out to unbutton her collar
Moments later, as the ground softened into a "swamp", the two giant bears sank as quickly as if they had fallen into the sea.
