Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Land Abandoned by God, night with very low lightning frequency.
Several human race-like living creatures carefully approached a flesh with six legs and a dozen eyes.
They are wrapped in animal skin or can't see the original clothes of the original material. With the lighting of several lanterns, they walk through the deep darkness, their expressions are very solemn.
A dozen or twenty sarcomas are on their faces, some eyes are almost squeezed together, and some have no noses directly. The location is a black hole.
After a fierce battle, they managed to successfully solve the monster, and then divided into two groups, a group guarding the surroundings, and a group harvesting loot.
During this process, the man with multiple sarcomas on his face suddenly stopped while dissecting the body of the monster and collecting edible parts.
"Adal, what's wrong?" the woman with no nose asked in doubt.
The man named Adal slowly withdrew his right hand, revealing a piece of item he had found from the monster.
It is a piece of protective talisman carved out of stone with many signs of corrosion.
"This is ..." The man whose eyes were almost huddled together seemed to understand the reason and hesitated to finish.
Adal looked around:
"Xin, Rus, this was given to my father when I was a kid.
"He felt like he couldn't control himself when I was an adult and chose to leave the city-state and enter depths of darkness ..."
Xin and Rus hearing this were silent for a while, and they all felt the mood of Adal.
In Moon City, this is a common occurrence.
Because they do n’t have enough safe ingredients, they can only pick mutated plant fruits and collect monster flesh to maintain their survival.
This will cause them to accumulate toxins and madness. After their physical condition declines, they will either die quickly or gradually lose control.
In order not to affect the surroundings and the destruction of the city-state, the latter often arrange everything after they notice the wrong state, take the torch and a small amount of food, leave the defense circle, and go alone in the darkness that never dissipates. Never return.
What their end will look like, the residents of Moon City can imagine that either being killed by monsters or becoming monsters, there is no other possibility.
After 7-8 seconds of silence, the woman with no nose hesitated and said to Adal:
"Maybe, this is the monster that killed your father."
"It has a belt made of animal skin wrapped around it ..." Adal's voice gradually became lower, and he lifted a dagger made of bones in his hand and pushed down hard, cutting out a piece of fairly normal flesh.
The members of the hunting squad were skillfully completing the collection in a quiet place, until the two Russ with their eyes close together suddenly opened their mouths:
"There are more and more deformities among newborn children ..."
The cost of accumulating toxins and madness from generation to generation is far more than the decline in average age. Those who are still in good health will gradually experience certain changes. Just like Adal, there are many sarcomas on their faces.
Similarly, precipitated toxins and madness may also be passed on to future generations, leading to the appearance of deformities. Rus and Xin in the hunting team belong to this category.
Their lives will be shorter, and they are more likely to lose control and change.
What more and more deformed children mean. The hunting team on the scene knows clearly, that is, maybe two or three generations may not be used. The residents of Moon City may not get out of control until they have conceived a new generation.
As a result, even if there is no external attack, Moon City will quickly disappear, leaving only stone buildings, wall drawings, etc. to prove that they once existed.
"Hopefully High Priest they can find a new direction ..." Adal stood up holding the lantern and answered abnormally weak.
In the past two or three thousand years, Moon City has not found a way to get rid of the current situation. They sent an exploration team to depths of darkness. Some of them returned after a serious setback. There was nothing to gain, some. No more audio, just disappeared into the endless darkness.
In addition, a distance east of Moon City, there is a gray mist covering the sky and the earth.
They are like invisible barriers, which not only cut off the line of sight, but also make it impossible for any creature to pass through.
The residents of Moon City used to think that this was the place of hope. They thought that the place covered by the gray mist was a normal country, and that the other side of the gray mist was the land that was not cursed.
They tried to enter the gray mist again and again, but they all failed:
They dug long passages and wanted to pass through the ground without an invisible barrier, but the corresponding area deep in the earth was also covered with gray mist;
They tried to gain the ability to fly, trying to cross from high altitude, but they could n’t see the top of the gray mist until they were struck by lightning;
They mobilized all the power of half God and sealed item, attacking the target time and time again, and after two or three thousand years, they accumulated day after day, but failed to wear away the invisible barrier ...
Hearing the words of captain Adal, the members of the hunting team were desperate and sad, just as if they were slipping a little bit on the edge of 《Abyss》, but they could n’t help themselves.
Those deformed people are originally a type of emotion that is more difficult to control. At this time, they feel more or less depressed and want to burst out.
—— In Moon City, two or three hundred years ago, the deformers could not become Extraordinary. Those who joined the hunting team could only do the collection work, but as the manpower became more and more tight, High Priest and the rest of the senior management relaxed Limit.
"Let's go, this food is not enough." Adal looked around, carried the lantern, and went deeper into the darkness.
They did not take the risk of extinguishing the fire, letting monsters flow out of the darkness, because those were probably beyond their control.
In a quiet and suffocating environment, the members of the Moon City hunting squad couldn't help but feel a dark and endless feeling.
It is as if Moon City is now in a situation where there is never hope, and the amount of time a lantern in your hand can burn is getting less and less.
When the last trace of radiance dissipated, they would be completely engulfed by the darkness silently.
Walking, Adal's eyes suddenly reflected a faint yellow.
It was a blaze, not a blaze for the hunting team!
The ignited light then shined into the eyes of all members of the entire hunting squad and filled their pupils.
Adal, Xin, Rus, and others all opened their eyes uncontrollably, and there was a strong sense of surprise in their hearts.
In their lives, in the historical records of Moon City after Great Cataclysm, there has never been a fire from other places!
It is true that many monsters have the ability of flame or Sun domain, but before launching an attack, they are lurking in the dark, without revealing a little light.
And now, a flash of fire has surfaced in depths of darkness!
Adal, Xin, and Rus tremble slightly, thinking a lot for a while, but they ca n’t think of the answer.
They quickly recalled the arrangement of the hunt and confirmed that there will be no more Moon City residents nearby.
Since the firelight does not belong to Moon City, where does it come from?
The entire hunting team slowed down. They were shocked, amazed, curious, and fearful, worried, and panicked.
—— They have also found some destroyed city-states, knowing that any anomaly in this darkness can be fatal.
"... Alert!" Adal finally recovered and gave the order.
The hunting team immediately began to form a battle formation, waiting for the dim light to approach here.
Time seems to freeze at this moment, every second is so slow, and finally, after the ignition light becomes larger, a figure is taken.
Silhouette ... There is only one person ... The members of the Moon City hunting squad hold their breath at the same time.
They seem, maybe, they might see a outsider!
Two or three thousand years have passed, and finally others have set foot on this land.
This abandoned world is no longer the only one.
And who can be the endless darkness of cross over, arrived here, Adal and others have no experience and no guess at all.
As the flame became bigger and more obvious, the members of the hunting team gradually saw the figure clearly:
That was a slender young man with black hair and brown eyes, and his expression was cold, not a deformed person, and there was no change.
He was wearing a strange hat, wearing strange clothes, carrying a lantern made of special materials, and came from depths of darkness step by step.
The light of his lantern is brighter than that of the hunting squad combined, making the surrounding darkness fade away quickly.
It did n’t take long for this light to shine on Adal, Xin, Rus and others.
The figure stopped, looking at the hunting team Moon City, and said lowly:
"Where do you come from."
Talking about Giant language ... sober eyes, you can communicate ... Adal opened her mouth and stopped the urge to answer subconsciously.
He asked rhetorically:
"Who are you?"
The figure holding the glass lantern responded gently:
"Gehrman Sparrow."
After overwhelming for half a year, after overcoming one difficulty after another, Klein's spirituality intuition finally told him that he was about to arrive at his destination.
And he also met the first living people in this Land Abandoned by God "travel".
"Where are you from?" Adal remained vigilant and questioned.
Klein's glanced across their faces and said in a constant tone:
"I am from Silver City,
"Also from outside the cursed land."
Hearing this answer, all members of the hunting squad were in a trance, wondering if they were too long-awaited, so that there was an illusion.
…………
In the autumn of 1351, Beckland in the flames of war.
Since Fenpot also declared war on Ruen, the war that has been sawing for some time has finally lost its balance. Ruen and his allies Lunburg, Masic, Segar have lost a lot of territory, and only the last few lines of defense are doing difficult resistance. Shaky.
After seeing the long queue from the food delivery point through the carriage window, Audrey slowly withdrew his eyes and said to the maid Annie:
"Go to Church of Saint Samuel ..."
