Chapter 185 Prayer
gone?
total darkness?
Facing the sudden change, Derrick's first reaction was not to panic, but to clasp his hands and put them in front of his mouth.
Quite bright rays of light swayed from his body, dispelling the deep darkness around, illuminating every corner of the basement.
In the environment where Derrick lives, the night is the most terrifying existence. Once they leave the City of Silver, they must maintain a state of being illuminated by light at all times. Even if they lose it for a short time, the interval cannot exceed five seconds.
When Derrick first joined the exploration team and was inexperienced, he almost made a mistake and ruined himself. Fortunately, the "Chief" was standing not far away.
The light slowly and continuously rippling, Derrick raised his right hand holding the "Hurricane Axe" tightly, and looked around cautiously.
He found that apart from Heim and Joshua, the two teammates who should have followed him into the basement, they disappeared, and the black marks on the stone slabs and walls had turned blood red at some point, dripping like Just poured it on.
This made Derrick, who was familiar with the exploration textbook and calmed down, couldn't help thinking of a possibility, that is, it wasn't Joshua and Heinm who had the problem, but himself!
"I just approached the altar and silently recited those three names... Normally, even angels must have the complete and accurate names in order to receive the "prayers" produced by others through recitation or copying, and It is said that there is still a limit on the range... I don't know if the kings of angels must do the same...
"Uh, one of these three names is the key to unlock the hidden power of the altar. I used the giant language that can pry nature to cause the problem to be caused? No, this is not right, it must be spoken to be effective, even if it is the kings of angels There has never been a problem with my real name before..." Derrick turned around in confusion and some anxiety, and returned to the altar, back to the stone table.
He was stunned to see that the words and symbols on the stone table were much clearer and more complete than before, as if the master of the ceremony had just finished painting and carving.
These words are divided into three types, one is Giant Language, the other is Dragon Language, and the other is unknown to Derrick, but he suspects that it is the ancient language in the mouths of Mister "Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice". Hermetic language, because during the Tarot Society's communication during this period, he has initially mastered some words, which are quite similar to the words on the stone table.
The content expressed in Giant Language and Dragon Language is very consistent, they are repeating the three names and corresponding titles:
"Angel of Destiny",
Ouroreus;
"Red Angel", Medici;
"Dark Angel", Saslier.
Following the title and name is a phrase that Derrick is very familiar with:
"Rose Redemption"!
Is Saslier really the king of angels, called "Dark Angel", and he, "Angel of Destiny" and "Red Angel" are the founders of "Rose of Redemption"? I don’t know what Mister Fool knows about Him... He must know it well... The ancient Hermes language should have the same meaning... In Afternoon Town, which has converted to the "Lord of All Creators", some residents are secretly worshiping The three kings of angels beside the Lord... Thinking of this, Derrick suddenly felt chills down his spine, and felt as if he had touched the verge of the truth of the land abandoned by the Creator back then.
He looked up again, only to see that the blood was still red on the wall and the floor, and Heim and Joshua were still missing.
Meditation again has no effect, maybe this itself has no effect... Derrick took a breath, held the "Hurricane Axe", and walked cautiously towards the entrance of the basement, hoping to find the root of the problem and confirm where it was. Something went wrong.
One step, two steps, three steps, like a giant candle, he moved back to the upper hall.
The shadows here are thick, gray and quiet, and the rotten chairs and remnant stone tables are placed silently, no different from before.
Derrick still couldn't find Joshua and Heim, so he walked towards the window with a high level of nervousness to see if he could meet other members of the exploration team.
Pa, pa... In the sound of light footsteps, he approached the big hole that should have been in the window frame, leaned forward, and looked outside.
Countless gray and dark buildings are spread out tightly, either high or low, stepping up.
The frequency of lightning in mid-air is very low, and candles are reflected one after another in many windows, dim and shaking, and will not go out for a long time.
This... Derrick couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, feeling like the afternoon town had never experienced any major changes, and the residents here were still living peacefully.
…………
Heim, who was carrying the animal skin lantern, passed the entrance of the basement without bending down, and said to Joshua next to him with a smile:
"This house must belong to humans, but their family must have the blood of 'giants', and their height should be about the same as mine. Tsk, the ruined city we went to last time had to bow their heads even entering the gate!"
The "giant" bloodline does not mean that there must be a giant's blood, but represents the physical characteristics that are produced by taking the potion of this way and passed on to the offspring. Tallness is one of the main manifestations.
Joshua looked up at Heim, and let out a sigh:
"That's you, I don't need it."
"But you should be able to be promoted in a short time. By then, you won't be much shorter than me." Heinm said with a smile, and watched Derrick who was close to the altar out of the corner of his eye to prevent accidents.
Joshua thought for a while and said:
"Actually, I'm very strange. The chief is the 'demon hunter' of Sequence 4. He should be like an ordinary giant, three to four meters tall. Why does he look normal, but he's only half a head taller than me?"
Heim looked around subconsciously and said:
"It is said that the chief has a giant form."
"Giant form? After becoming a giant, will his clothes be completely torn?" Joshua asked with a smile.
"Unless his clothes and pants are magical items." Heim and Joshua smiled at each other.
They were about to share this joke with Derrick, but when they turned their heads to look, they found that the boy was gone!
Derrick, who was supposed to be in front of the altar, disappeared!
The expressions of Heim and Joshua suddenly became solemn, one raised a broad and large straight sword, and the other stretched out his left palm wearing a red glove.
They approached the altar cautiously, checked it carefully, and found no suspicious traces.
Joshua was about to try to identify the remaining words on the stone table, but Heim patted his shoulder and said:
"Don't look, I thought about it, Derrick was looking at the text on it before he disappeared.
"Let's find the 'Chief' and come over."
"Yeah." Joshua nodded.
He left without panic. After looking around again, he rubbed his thumb and middle finger together and lit the remaining candle on the altar.
This will protect Derrick from falling into the real darkness!
——The exploration team of the City of Silver had a similar experience in the ruins of those city-states. A team member seemed to disappear suddenly, but was actually hidden by some kind of force, and he was still in place, but his teammates around him were eager to seek help. Leaving that area with a lantern, the poor guy was engulfed in real darkness and could never be found again. If not for another team member who fell into the same situation later and was lucky enough to be rescued on the spot, others would not even know about the former exact "cause of death".
The candles were lit, and the dim yellow light spread around. Heim and Joshua left immediately, came to the alley, and released the spiritual signal that everyone carried.
They didn't wait too long before Colin Iliad jumped off the top of another house and landed firmly.
"What happened?" the "demon hunter" asked in a deep voice.
The silver straight sword in his hand has been coated with a layer of light gray ointment.
Heim immediately briefly stated what happened just now, and finally said:
"We failed to discover the reason for Derrick's disappearance."
"Derrick..." Colin nodded thoughtfully, passed the two of them, and walked into the corresponding house first.
…………
Candles were lit outside, and it was dim and warm, but Derrick seemed to have fallen into a so-called ice cave, and the chill in his heart couldn't stop coming out.
He tightly grasped the right hand of "Hurricane Axe", withdrew his gaze from looking at the town, turned around and walked into the basement, and stood in front of the altar again.
He was basically sure that it was him who had the problem!
But he didn't have the urge to explore this strange afternoon town, and he didn't even dare to open the door.
Derrick wasn't too nervous, nor was he obviously flustered, because he didn't think what he encountered was a serious problem.
As long as it's not a direct danger of eruption, it's not considered serious... Derrick took a silent breath, buried his head slightly, and whispered reverently:
"The fool who is not of this age;
"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;
"The king of yellow and black in charge of good luck..."
Klein, who was admiring the scenery of the God War ruins by the window, had no choice but to enter the bathroom again, put away the disturbing items, and walked four steps backwards to the gray mist.
He sat down on the high-backed chair at the top of the long bronze table, stretched out his right hand, spread his spirituality, and touched the group of crimson stars symbolizing the little "sun".
Suddenly, the voice of prayer became extremely clear, and the corresponding picture appeared before Klein's eyes.
He first saw the little "sun" that was still a bit blurry, and then he realized that the environment he was in was a bit wrong!
An indescribable darkness flows around the "sun", and in the darkness, eyes of different shapes are watching him silently.
These eyes are densely packed, vague, dark and restrained, like uninvited onlookers, but the little "sun" didn't notice it.
Afternoon town is so dangerous? Klein knew very well what student "Sun" was going to do recently.
He thought about it, and intuitively felt that the darkness was very weird and not real enough, so he gave up the option of using the "Sea God Scepter" to respond to the little "sun", and instead pulled the other party into the gray fog.
Klein showed his spirituality, but felt that the crimson star seemed to be stuck in a swamp, making his pulling people very difficult.
Which king of angels has this provoked again? Klein's thoughts turned, causing the gray fog below and this mysterious space to ripple and pass over.
After being promoted to Sequence 5, without relying on the "Dark Emperor" card or the corresponding ceremony, he can slightly leverage the power above the gray mist!
Without a sound, Klein easily completed the pull, and the figure of "The Sun" Derrick appeared on the high-back chair that belonged to him.
At the same time, Klein vaguely saw the strange darkness flowing around the body of the little "sun" shattered.
…………
The "demon hunter" entered the basement on high alert, followed by Heim and Joshua.
They saw that in front of the dim candlelight, Derrick Berg's figure was quickly outlined like a picture.
