I am God Chapter 299: ：The line of fate
Shana stepped out into the outside world for the first time.
It was the first time he saw a city as big as the Fire Guard City, the first time he walked such a long distance, and it was also the first time he saw the sea.
Xia Na was on a merchant ship headed for the Land of the Rising Sun. The ship was full of cargo, and there were not many passengers on board.
The captain saw that Shaner was a nobleman, so he was specially allowed to board the ship.
They set off from the port of Gulf Town in the east of Suinhall, and their destination was the Golden City in the Land of the Rising Sun.
It is said that it is a place full of gold.
Because an alchemist can touch stones into gold. .
But the reason why rumors are called rumors must be because they are outrageous compared with the truth.
Xia Na learned from Carmon's mouth.
There is no gold there, and alchemists are only good at making props, smelting metals, and cooking potions.
A stone is a stone and does not turn into gold.
Xia Na was not very interested in gold. He stood on the deck and looked into the distance from time to time like everyone else;
On the contrary, he and Carmon seemed very relaxed.
Xia Na lay on the side of the boat, looked at the sea and asked Camon who was leaning on the sword: "What's on the other side?"
Carmon thought Shaner was asking about the destination: "Golden City!"
Xia Na shook his head: "No, I mean outside of Ruhe Giant Island."
In the eyes of the snake people, the word giant island does not mean an island, but more like a synonym for the world.
How did Camon know that he had never been there.
However, he can still talk to Shana about it: "Except for the ancestors of the first generation of snake people who left the giant island of Ruhe, only the legendary Evils have left the giant island of Ruhe since then and arrived at the outside world. world."
"That was already a hundred or two hundred years ago."
"The Evelians say that there is a wider world beyond the giant island of Ruhe."
Carmon's eyes also flickered, as if they were faintly shining.
"In the distance."
"There is a new world."
Xia Na knows the Evil people: "Is that the Evil people?"
"The daughter of Sermos, the mother of ten thousand snakes, a family of fishermen and hunters left over from ancient times."
Carmon nodded: "Alsini is the ancestor of the city-state people, Pans is the ancestor of the animal herding tribe, and the Evil people once lived in the northernmost wasteland and under the frozen plateau."
"Most of them have now crossed the sea and left the giant island of Ruhe, and the few remaining people have also integrated into various cities in the city-state and various tribes in the north."
Shaner asked Carmon: "Do you believe it?"
"The Evelians left the giant island of Ruhe and found the story of the new world."
Carmon replied: "Actually, I have been there."
Xia Na was stunned for a moment: "Where have you been?"
Carmon patted Shaner on the shoulder, put his arms around him and looked at the sea together and said, "Didn't I tell you?"
"I was above the sea, bathing in the first sunshine of that day."
"At that time."
"I saw the raging black storm from a distance."
"I also wanted to go and see what the world outside Ruhe Giant Island is like!"
Xia Na turned to look at Carmon: "What about the end?"
Carmon chuckled: "Finally?"
"I finally gave up!"
He let out a long breath: "The black storm is too terrifying. No one can pass through that terrible storm, even the powerful ones cannot resist the engulfing of the endless darkness."
In just one sentence, it contains an experience that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Xia Na couldn't understand: "Then how did the Evil people survive the black storm?"
"They migrated with their families, and there must be many ordinary people among them."
Carmon spread his hands: "I heard that when that period of history happened, the black storm on the sea just weakened."
"And after the Evils left, the door to the outside world was closed again."
"It's really a hell."
"Why didn't such a good thing happen to me."
Shanna nodded.
"Maybe."
"It's God's arrangement!"
However, compared to where the Evils went, did they really cross the sea of storms and find a new world?
What Shana is more curious about now is what Carmon wants to do outside Ruhe Giant Island.
Is it just to add a glory beyond others to your own journey?
But Carmon was reluctant to say anything.
The journey at sea was very difficult. At the beginning, I suffered from seasickness, but later it was caused by various problems of food and drinking water.
Having reached the halfway point.
They encountered a storm.
The storm swept from the sky, with dark clouds and lightning.
The captain led the people to shout and shout on the deck. He personally controlled the rudder and controlled the direction of the entire ship.
Even Shaner and Carmon joined the crowd, fighting against the coming storm and heavy rain hand in hand.
The captain was drenched in water.
He looked at the storm behind him and shouted anxiously.
"Quick!"
"Speed up."
"It's going to catch up to us."
The captain's face was ferocious like a fallen monster, and the muscles on his face were squeezed together while trembling, forming dense folds.
They failed to escape the storm in the end and were caught in it.
The ship shook violently, the waves came up wave after wave, the buckets on the ship rolled around, and someone was beaten down amidst screams.
In the strong wind, someone was directly blown into the sky.
He tied himself to a rope and flew up into the sky like a kite, screaming and shouting from above.
But it didn't take long to shout, and it disappeared.
The storm is accompanied by bursts of thunder, and the flashes of light are like sharp knives cutting through the darkness.
Xia Na felt the power of heaven and earth for the first time.
Mortals are so insignificant in front of this power.
They clearly saw the storm approaching with their own eyes, but they couldn't escape. They could only watch the other party approaching constantly, and then drowned themselves.
No matter what kind of power you have, no matter how you shout.
You can't change anything.
All you can do is long for luck to take care of yourself.
It feels really hopeless.
People can't help but want to kneel down to this storm, kowtow to him and beg it to let him go.
Xia Na couldn't help but asked Carmon loudly: "Is this the Black Storm?"
Carmon shouted in the storm: "Black storm?"
He shouted word by word, as if venting his inner emotions: "That is much more terrifying than this."
Xia Na, who went out to sea for the first time, couldn't imagine what a storm more terrifying than this kind of storm would be like.
Xia Na also yelled: "It's even more scary?"
"What kind of scene is that, can the people who saw it survive?"
Carmon's voice was extremely loud: "Look at fate!"
"Ah!"
The two yelled together.
I don't know how long it has passed, but the wind, waves and torrential rain have finally passed.
The sun shone back on the ship.
After the catastrophe, everyone on board got up.
Some people cheered and shouted, some people laughed wildly.
Carmon and Shana leaned against the side of the cabin, looked at each other and laughed, while laughing, the sea kept slapping the side of the cabin.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Laughter and crying are the two most common emotions, but laughter is easier to see than crying.
It can express happiness, it can also express bitterness, it can express pretended strength, and it can even express despair.
Sometimes.
It can also say nothing.
Just laugh.
Laughing doesn't need a reason.
The people who had been fighting against the storm felt exhausted after the excitement, lying like dead bodies one by one.
Xiaana and Carmon were lying head to head. Although they couldn't see each other, they could feel each other.
Carmon suddenly asked Xia Na: "Xia Na!"
"What are you looking for in the Thunder Swamp?"
Shaner replied: "Fate is guiding me."
Carmon asked again: "If there is no interference of fate, what do you want to do?"
Xiaana has never thought about this issue. He has been told by his family since he was a child that he must prepare for the fulfillment of the family's long-cherished wish and mission.
"My words."
"Probably become a scholar!"
"I like to read quietly."
"I don't ask too much, as long as this is enough."
Carmon couldn't help adding: "But that place must be a spacious and bright library or a sunny garden, the most exquisite pastries and wine must be placed on the table, and finally there must be a beautiful outside lake."
"Really?"
Xia Na suddenly turned around and looked at Carmon, as if seeing the roundworm in his stomach,
Carmon put his hands on his head: "You are so easy to understand."
Although the next sea journey is still difficult, it is no longer difficult compared with the previous storm and the front line of life and death.
Carmon and Xana arrived at the Golden City first, and then arrived at the City of Lights in a vehicle pulled by pack animals.
They finally saw the colossal statue of God Iva mentioned earlier, and completed two-thirds of the small goal of not living in vain.
The 100-meter-tall **** statue stood beside the city's moat, holding a lamp in its hand.
At dawn, the lights will refract the light before the sun appears.
Light up the whole city of lights.
It is said that God Iva appeared in the Land of Sunrise in this way.
The sun gave light to the land of the rising sun, and God Iva gave light to all mortals living here.
In front of the Temple of Miracles, Shana saw the statue of Xinji, the first great elder of the City of Lights.
"Is Elder Xinji dead?"
Elder Xinji of the City of Lights has lived for more than two hundred years. Apart from gods and apostles, he should be regarded as the longest-lived mortal in the records of the Snakeman.
This made him a legend.
Even in Suinhall and the Ten Thousand Snake King's Court, there are various stories about him.
Carmon looked at Xinji's statue indifferently: "Although he lived for more than two hundred years and surpassed the limits of mortals, he still died."
"After all, he is just a mortal."
Shaner was a little regretful: "I thought I could meet the oldest person in the world?"
Start from the city of lights and walk through the rugged mountain road in the north.
Arrived in Thunder Swamp.
At this time, it has been more than half a year since Shana left his hometown.
The Thunder Swamp is not contiguous. There are many small islands in the swamp, and the terrain is intricate.
Shana and Carmon took a small boat to a small island called Silverfish Island, which went deep into the Thunder Swamp and produced a kind of rare silverfish, which was the favorite food of nobles, elders, and alchemists in the Land of the Rising Sun.
The boat goes deep into the silent and deep water jungle.
The rickety boat came out of a passage entangled with trees, and the world ahead completely changed.
In the distance is a lake with no end in sight like the sea, but the surface of the lake is extremely calm.
It reflects the blue sea and blue sky.
At the end of the lake, there are endless clouds and fog.
The blue sky and the lake are connected together, the thick clouds and mountains meet the sky, and press down on the blue lake.
Xiana felt that he had plunged into the legend, the fairy tale world of fairies.
The snake-man boatman who was holding the boat also noticed the expressions of Shana and Carmon: "Dear guest, do you think it's beautiful?"
Shana and Carmon nodded involuntarily. They couldn't find any other words to describe this place except beauty.
Any redundant vocabulary seems to defile this beauty.
The boatman usually reminded two people.
"But it's also dangerous."
"Don't get close to the depths of the Thunder Swamp, it's a forbidden place of death."
"The white mist will swallow all living things, and only dead things can survive there."
There are often people who don't know how to live or die, want to go into the depths, to touch the beautiful clouds.
Shaner asked: "Why does the white mist only devour the living and not the dead?"
"Are they conscious too?"
The boatman replied seriously: "This is the will of the gods, and the gods do not allow mortals to enter there."
When it comes to gods, it's hard to say much.
The ship fell silent.
And this time.
A ray of light slanted down from above the sea of clouds.
The light seemed to be leaking from the clouds, spreading out and shining on the lake.
The whole world suddenly changed qualitatively.
A looming city appeared on the sea of clouds at the end of the sky.
The sun bathes in the city above the clouds, you can feel its ancient and vicissitudes, and experience its prosperity and grandeur.
Both Shana and Carmon stood up from the boat and moved forward.
Xia Na blurted out: "The Lost Country!"
Carmon didn't speak, but his eyes were lost.
Exactly.
In front of them.
It is the city of gods depicted in the Lost Kingdom in the Fire Protection Temple.
It is a city built with the power of trolls and decorated with the power of miracles.
The first city on land established by Jesser, the second king of wisdom, is one of the oldest cities.
Even if Master Breman's paintings are handed down from generation to generation, they are just paintings.
Compared with the scene they really saw at this moment, it is completely incomparable.
Sally, the master of life, said don't block it, show it.
Let the city of God Descend completely be revealed in front of people.
Then.
The Ruhe monster didn't hear the order from the master of life to put it away.
It allowed the city to appear in the sight of mortals every once in a while, when the fog was at its lightest.
But even so, it's just for you to see.
No living thing can enter the lost kingdom of the sky.
Xia Na watched for a long time before finally speaking.
He was very excited, he did not expect to find the answer he wanted to find so smoothly.
"It really is."
"It really exists."
Carmon wanted to say something, but his mouth trembled for a long time, and finally he could only say: "This is really spectacular."
Xiaana pointed to the city on the sea of clouds and said to Kamon.
"I want to go in there."
Carmon asked him: "How do you fly up?"
"And there is white mist everywhere in the depths, and there are terrible monsters."
"Are you sure you want to go?"
Xia Na has been looking at the city on the cloud: "I must go in."
Carmon looked at Shaner and saw the firmness in Shaner's eyes.
After a long time, he nodded and said.
"Yes, you will definitely go in."
"Anyway, you pay the money, and I will handle the work."
--------------------
When the boat arrived at Silverfish Island, the scattered clouds and mist became dense again, completely covering the city on the sea of clouds.
Xiaana and Carmon finally stopped looking at the sky and landed on the island in peace.
It's like a paradise here.
The buildings on the island are all made of wood, and the houses are stacked on top of each other, crowded in the south.
Dried fish are hung from fishing nets drying in front of every household.
It seems to be a relatively wealthy village, after all, they depend on salvaging whitebait for a living.
The female snake people on the island are busy repairing, while the male snake people are tugging the boat; people wear coarse clothes, and tie their hair into a ponytail with ropes, and some have short hair.
Some children were running around on the bank, making slapstick laughter.
Shaner saw a mother yelling: "Don't run around."
"I'll catch you later so I won't smash your ass."
The child turned his head and made a grimace. Children of this age are flexible and fast, and adults can't keep up with them.
My mother was angry: "Don't come back at night, I'll see how good you are."
Looking at the island, Carmon couldn't help but say, "This place is really nice."
"When I am not a mercenary in the future, I will definitely live here."
Xia Na couldn't help showing a smile, thinking of his hometown Yoan Town.
Seeing newcomers coming to the island, the children surrounded Shana curiously.
Carmon's evil spirit is too strong, which is a bit scary.
So the children avoided him.
Shaner looked polite, like a scholar.
The naughty child who made his mother angry just now looked at Shana, curiously staring at his long sword and ring, which are things that cannot be seen on the island.
"Where are you from?"
"Should it come from a great place, is it the place where the sun rises?"
Shaner said, "I'm from Suinhall."
This is much farther than the Land of the Rising Sun.
The children's eyes lit up: "You are a city-state."
The children were a sensation. People from the Land of the Rising Sun and the Court of Ten Thousand Snakes often come here, but they rarely see the city-state people.
"I heard that there are countless people there. There are 100,000 people in a city. When the king appeared, the crowd was crowded and everyone was squeezed into meatloaf. Is it true?"
"I heard that the king over there has an immortal body and is possessed by a god."
"I also heard"
This rumor is as unreliable as gold everywhere in the Golden City.
Shaner answered some questions and satisfied the children's curiosity.
He and Shana were taken to his house by the boatman, where they will live.
Carmon tidied up his room and came to Shana.
He asked Xia Na seriously: "How are you going to go up?"
Shaner said: "I have extraordinary power."
Carmon said to Shana: "In such a forbidden place of death, you are no different from ordinary people."
"Even if the Thunder Swamp is in the forbidden area of death, the danger level is relatively low."
"That is also a forbidden place for death."
Carmon said seriously: "You have to go through the terrible white fog to reach the city above the clouds."
"Leaving aside whether there is any danger up there, how can you get through that white mist?"
Shaner said: "We are only here for the first day, so there is no rush."
"Try it!"
"There will always be a way."
Xia Na said to Carmon: "The price I offered is that you can send me here, and you don't need to participate in the next thing."
Carmon put his sword on the ground: "I never accept such halfway tasks."
"The tasks I took on were all successfully completed."
"Never failed."
Carmon said loudly: "I will not allow my record of victorious battles to be broken on you."
Xia Na looked at Carmon and was suddenly moved.
"Carmon"
Carmon's face suddenly laughed: "Did you feel touched instantly?"
"Are you ready to add money to me?"
----------------------
Night.
When Shana fell asleep, the imprint on his hand suddenly emitted light.
Strands of white silk ran out of Xia Na's body, covering the entire room.
The silk thread keeps shuttling and condensing together.
The white silk thread converges into a thread ball figure with limbs.
The threadball man stood beside Shana and looked at him. The white silk thread that made up it was constantly wriggling, looking a little scary.
The threadball man first glanced at the sleeping Shana, then walked to the window.
It opened the window and quietly looked at the lake and sea of clouds under the moon in the distance.
It raised its head, and its eyes focused on a certain point.
Although the city hidden deep in the sea of clouds has not been revealed, it knows that the other party is there.
"The city that descended from the gods!"
The language spoken by the thread group people is obviously the language of the Sanye people.
"Sina is here, so he must be here."
"You can't go wrong."
"It's in there."
"The stone of wisdom finally appeared."
"The thread of fate is about to be untied, and everything will come to an end."
"Is this just the beginning?"
The thread ball man then turned his gaze to the direction of the sea.
"Master."
"Where did you go? Why can't we find you?"
"Aren't you on the giant island of Ruhe? Are you in the outside world?"
"If you have become a god, if you have obtained real eternal life!"
"Please come back to us!"
"Don't make us wait any longer."
"Please come back!"
"Back to where it all began."
The human figure formed by the silk threads twisted in front of the window, and its shape gradually became crazy and became indescribable.
Its body exploded and turned into dense lines that wrapped around the room where Shana was, and wrapped around Shana's bed.
Only one head remained, poking up from a high place and approaching Shana's sleeping face a little bit.
The four eyes are only a few inches apart from each other.
One is tightly closed, and the other is only a deep hollow under the ball of thread.
There was no emotion in the string man's voice, but the words he said showed that he was very familiar with Shaner.
"Shanna!"
"We've waited too long."
"Too long to wait."
The thread ball is getting more and more twisted, which means it is getting closer and closer to madness.
"We are long dead, we don't exist at all."
"What is death, our despair is far beyond death."
"They are all dead, but they bind us forever in time."
"It's time to end"
"It's time to end"
"Get it, get it at all!"
"Be sure to get it!"
I don't know how long it has been.
Among the dense white shadows and distortions, the threadball people completely dissipated.
