Before departure
"... Somewhat surprised," Nim answered truthfully, "After all, it's still quite a while before Miss ' Pure White ' promised a certain time..."
Klein nodded slightly and answered naturally:
This is normal.
"Although He is very young among the Angel, in our daily interactions, I can sense that His perception of time is different from ours."
"For Him, a decade or so is probably just a fleeting moment..."
--That's pure nonsense. Even among ordinary people, Neph is considered one of the impatient types. True Mythical Creature with a high level of time perception, like Amon who could lie dormant in City of Silver for decades without experiencing much of it, would have a different perspective.
Although the impending Apocalypse might be a factor, Klein believed that Neph lacked the patience to accomplish such a thing.
For Nim, Klein's words seemed to touch upon familiar territory. Nim nodded slightly and spoke with relief:
"Yes... anyway..."
He gave a slightly tired smile and asked expectantly, "When do we leave? What preparations do we need to make?"
After a moment's thought, Klein spoke:
"We need to first open the door that seals off this land."
"The Chief of City of Silver told me that although City of Silver has vacant residences, based on my estimate of Moon City's population, it still wouldn't be enough to accommodate everyone. And while patrols have cleared out higher-level Monster from the area outside the city, it's not an absolutely safe zone. Moreover, unlike inside the city, it's not well-lit, so sending everyone there at once isn't realistic."
"I only request that you take one or two Sealed Artifact with you, along with a small team of strong individuals, as the vanguard to open that door first, and then return to lead the rest of you away."
"This is also what Miss ' Pure White ' meant—she believes that only the light she herself has earned is worth cherishing."
Now Nim understood, and he asked, "In your opinion, what level of team would be suitable?"
Klein replied:
"The former guards stood before that gate, corrupted and ravaged, having lost their sanity in their depravity, yet still retaining the power of Sequence 3."
"In addition, we must be wary of traps along the way..."
Finally, following Klein to City of Silver was the "Lightning Priest" of Moon City, a Sequence 4 "Iron-Blooded Knight".
This is because he already has a successor, a "Iron-Blooded Knight" Zaphir, who has been promoted for less than a year. According to this "Lightning Priest," they have always stored up excess Beyonder Characteristic, but most of the younger generation in the city are unable to advance due to corruption.
"Even we took a huge risk during our promotions," he said. "Zaphir is someone I've watched grow up. I've always hoped he would successfully advance to ' Iron-Blooded Knight ' and take my place. For years, I thought that dream would never come true, until Miss ' Pure White ' appeared... Coincidentally, it was his team that brought Miss ' Pure White ' back from the barrier."
He revealed a look of anticipation, and Klein raised the "Staff of Stars" as his Historical Projection rose, silently pondering the situation.
While negotiating with Nim regarding the selection of a candidate, he learned about the High Sequence composition within Moon City.
After Neph left behind "A Bucket of White Paint," the Beyonder who had previously remained at Sequence 5 and dared not advance began to change. Some of Beyonder started actively attempting to advance, but due to limitations in Ritual and materials, only Zaphir has actually completed the advancement so far.
>p/<. The four columns of the "Law Mage" are named as follows: first, Vida is called "Night Priest," then the Moon City is called "Lightning Priest," and the front eye and the great expulsion of the Priest Muni are also listed. The four columns of the "Priest's Laws" are named as follows: three in total.
>p/<. Because there are no columns in the Moon City in the existing three-column sequence, the ceremony was suddenly completed, and they did not have the necessary support equipment for the Moon City. Furthermore, the materials and components were not well-matched, according to Muni.
>p/<. It's almost impossible to get promoted. It's just a matter of lowering the risk of losing control. Even if the pollution is cleansed, they've already been entangled with it for many years. These people, unlike those ordinary people who have been stationed in the same order for over 50 years, have become gods.
>p/<. They even started to consider it after the "white bucket" of ingredients appeared, which made them want to start working hard. Of course--
>p/<. The sudden arrival of the Moon City, without actual strength, is not a matter of one day or one night, and the cultivation of the new saint is not so simple. Therefore, it may stay longer or not, because there is a special part of the sequence with certain dangers. It also requires five to six years to complete the five-sequence sequence of the potion to eliminate the demon. Even if there is a magic trick to assist,
>p/<. A level of quantity in the city of silver and white, and also the Moon City, this object is sealed in the seal, and those who are not ordinary are expelled.
>p/<. The blessing came after prayer, and he did not reveal his intention to help. At first, he did not show any reaction. When Klee gave him the "silver knight" medicine, he was given a second layer of seal on the city of silver. He was able to make a great judgment. In the story of Enlake, "Sun Tai" was mentioned.
>p/<. The blessed journey is without the seal of that thing, because of some reason, but, this secret is not hidden and has not disappeared, and, the second layer of the seal should be equipped with the silver-white city, is Enlake's judgment, this is the judgment.
>p/<. It's strange that such a situation has occurred. After all, even a "0" level seal is an unknown entity in the realm of knowledge. It's not impossible for such a thing to exist, although this is astonishing.
>p/<. It's not that Muni is a good person, but rather that he's a liar who's easily deceived. After all, he's clearly a "Pure White" little sister. Enlake wouldn't believe it if it were fake. Muni introduced the sealed items of Moon City, but Moon City is not like that.
>p/<. There is no Moon City, the item seal level "0" is at least, the one left by Funa is one of them, the item seal level "1" has six items in total Moon City, below
>p/<. The Moon City Enlake, though seemingly strong, lacked real power. Compared to the city of Silver White, it was not as powerful as it could be called. Although the Moon City was indeed powerful, it was not as strong as it could be called.
The city is silvery-white and the Moon City is the reason for its two; the white gray screen on the top is the part of the flower energy and time, and it is the exploration outside that is persistent and not for thousands of years in the Moon City is one of its reasons, and he quickly understood this reason.
The geographical locations differ; City of Silver is near Afternoon Town, and further ahead lies the "Giant King’s Court," offering a way out but also fraught with dangers, as high-level Monster are not uncommon in that area. Thirdly, unlike City of Silver, Moon City doesn't possess Black-Faced Grass; instead, its inhabitants sustain themselves by consuming Monster flesh and blood. This practice causes pollution to accumulate within their bodies, passed down through generations, making advancement under these circumstances extremely perilous.
Having figured these points out, the "Staff of Stars" finally activated, bringing Klein's Historical Projection and this small team to City of Silver.
He had actually already discussed it with Colin Iliad, the chief of Silver City. Colin Iliad didn't question his sudden appearance with his men; he simply spoke after some thought:
"According to City of Silver's regulations, in special circumstances like the arrival of Outsider, they must undergo a two-week Quarantine in the dark, Secret Chamber beneath the Round Tower. Further decisions will be made only after their safety is confirmed..."
This was perfectly reasonable; in fact, Moon City had this rule too. However, Klein had been instructed that Neph wouldn't have the patience to keep him in Detention Room for half a month, especially since he had already been there and back several times without being locked up. Therefore, he spoke up:
"If I carried any contamination, you would have been contaminated long ago."
"Furthermore, do I need to remind you? Your Round Tower isn't secure. An King of Angel once infiltrated it and hid inside for decades. You only knew there was something wrong with him, but you couldn't figure out what it was until he exposed himself."
Colin Iliad fell silent, his gaze fixed intently on Klein, saying nothing.
That happened while "The Sun" Derrick was in Quarantine. He was the one who eliminated Amon's clone. Through Derrick's account, Klein learned that the person who ultimately killed the squad leader was the Chief himself.
Considering the Curse that exists in City of Silver, that squad leader is probably Blood Relative of the Chief before them.
The thought filled Klein with remorse; he silently apologized, but maintained an almost cold, sarcastic expression. Colin Iliad slowly withdrew his gaze, turning it to the window.
"His favor towards you is certainly not without reason," he said.
Klein broke out in a cold sweat; he realized this wasn't a nice remark and quickly changed the subject.
When do we leave?
Colin Iliad pondered for a moment and asked, "Does He not wish to continue waiting?"
"Yes," Klein nodded, "Miss ' Pure White ' hopes this matter will be resolved as soon as possible."
"As soon as possible..." Colin Iliad frowned. "I have some things to explain and arrange, and gathering manpower will take time... like this."
He looked at Klein and the group, and calmly said, "I'll have someone prepare empty rooms for you. Stay there for three days, and then we'll meet back here."
Klein agreed.
Only after they entered the prepared room did the "Lightning Priest" of Moon City seem to have mentally prepared herself, and tentatively ask:
"Your Excellency Sparrow, I would like to ask you a question."
"I've noticed that you, the Chief, and even Miss ' Pure White ' are all very tall."
"Are there others as great as you outside this Curse land?"
Klein, very tall but less than 1.75 meters, Moretti's expression unusually changed upon hearing the question.
Tall... no, I'm over 1.8 meters tall now... I'm very tall... I'm at least taller Neph!
He tried to comfort himself, and then he spoke hesitantly:
"This is related to specific nationality and race. The City of Silver is descended from the Giant, possessing some Giant blood, and having followed the ' Warrior ' Pathway, naturally appearing tall..."
"In the outside world, beings as tall as them are rare..."
>p/<... Hmm, not lively enough, heavy and clumsy body, what's wrong with the tall prince, but... tall body led to the later generations, because of the "warrior" path, most of them walked on the road, similar to the city of silver and white, and they were actually quite tall.
>p/<. A momentary pause, a slight glint in his eyes, and Enlake's gaze fell upon the Moon City.
>p/<. Each type of body defect has its own unique characteristics, including facial deformities, thin and frail bodies, and hunched postures. They are not the only ones who have ever seen such a large Moon City.
>p/<. He helped them with the shadow of the "cane hand" in history, using his thoughts to understand the situation of Enlake, and later he understood this reason, and the result was that the ordinary people who became the Moon City were not the real ones who were deformed and had great weight.
>p/<. But there are also limitations. Gao Xiu is the tallest person who can barely stand up straight - Gao Xiu "judges" whether these tall and average people are still tall, but can tall people "live with sticks"?
>p/<. The accumulation of toxins and poor nutrition is something we all know today, but we also don't understand it. Although we understand the situation in the Moon City, it's different for those outside the world.
>p/<... What point is suitable to say? As for my identity? Can they comfort me?... I should be worried about being discriminated against by outsiders. They... He, on the other hand, I am not satisfied with my own pure and simple self... I am not like that, and in fact, I am not like that with him.
>p/<: His mouth opened slowly and gently, and after a few seconds, he murmured softly, Enlake.
>p/<. You, the true believers, shine with unwavering faith, your faith is like gold, steadfast forged over thousands of years, unchanging in outward appearance.
>p/<. The true and complete welcome will break free from your physical limitations. There, your souls will ascend to the heavens, and you will follow the light of God. Just as you have always believed, you must continue to uphold your faith in yourself.
>p/<"... The one who bestows grace is devout to that"
>p/<...
"? You really believe in religion? You said I... I'm even helping you with your religion, and I can't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He stared at the strange-looking Funa on the ground. "? So, the religion is their way of comforting you."
Some people have white eyes, and I have white eyes. They're really good at using things, don't say that. Enlake rolled his eyes. "I've already seen the Pope from the angle of the soup chicken online."
Why did you turn to religion...?
He paused, then asked:
"So, have you thought about how to settle them? Neph, you should know that the combined population of Moon City and City of Silver is not small. If you gather them all together and leave them outside, no matter where you put them, it will cause unrest..."
"Food, jobs, money... these all need to be considered. Oh, and accommodation... Also, with so many people suddenly appearing, have you thought about how to cover it up? Or do you not intend to cover it up at all...?"
"...?" Neph looked at him in surprise, "Mr. Fool..."
>p/<"? I've considered this matter so much, how could I change it... ah, this problem is so much, but I haven't considered it enough, when you first brought someone out": she murmured in a low voice, somewhat taken aback as she gasped.
>p/<"? The book inside is this again," she repeated Enlake's words over and over again. "When"
