The Forsaken Land of the Gods, Moon City.
Adal, Sin, Ruth, and the others were extremely excited when they heard the high priest's voice resounding throughout the entire city-state.
They stood up almost simultaneously and carried the animal skin bundles they had prepared beforehand on their backs.
Inside were the mushroom powder, dried mushrooms, and pieces of Monster leather they had been allocated, along with varying quantities Beyonder Characteristic.
Although they are excited and full of hope for the future, the suffering they have endured in the past makes them dare not be careless in the slightest, and they carry as much food as possible.
Several times before the lightning struck, the priests of Moon City received a divine revelation from Mr. The Fool, ordering them to stop sending out hunting parties and instructing every resident to pack their valuables and be ready to leave at any time.
In just a few dozen seconds, Adal and the others, carrying lanterns, walked out of their houses and onto the street.
As their eyes met, their faces, some covered in tumors and others with various deformities, radiated undisguised joy, showing no negative emotions whatsoever about abandoning Moon City and leaving their hometown.
This is the source of their nightmares; countless generations have lost their joy in childhood.
After gathering in the square with the raised platform, they suppressed their excitement and lined up in an orderly fashion according to their residences, checking whether their neighbors had all arrived.
Before long, all the residents of Moon City had arrived. High Priest Nim stepped onto the high platform, unable to hide his smile, and began to speak:
"Friends, I have received a divine oracle."
"Mr. The Fool will help us leave this cursed land and be reborn."
Praise be to Mr. The Fool!
He took the lead and placed his right palm on his left chest.
This was a gesture they invented themselves to praise Mr. The Fool, which Mr. The Fool did not deny.
"Praise be to Mr. ' The Fool '!" The residents of Moon City pressed their right palms to their left chests in unison, expressing their gratitude and piety in loud voices.
As the voice echoed, Nim, with his gray hair and deeply lined face, raised his hand and pressed down:
"We'll go to City of Silver first, meet up with the survivors there, and then head out to the world of light."
"Don't worry, Mr. The Fool will protect us."
"Alright, close your eyes and begin to pray."
After saying this, the high priest clasped his hands together, placed them to his lips, and prayed devoutly to Mr. " The Fool," hoping that the great being could fulfill the greatest Wishes accumulated by Moon City generation after generation over the past two or three thousand years.
The next second, the Demigod of the " Evernight " pathway keenly sensed the changes around him, so he opened his eyes, looked around, and found that the stone pillars were becoming clearer, the lanterns were hanging above, and the tall figures were rapidly being outlined.
Is this the City of Silver? We've arrived at the City of Silver... This is the power of the gods... Praise be to Mr. The Fool! Adal and Sin and the others followed closely, observing their surroundings.
They subconsciously held a certain fondness for City of Silver, because the esteemed missionary of God, Lord Gehrman Sparrow, had mentioned that City of Silver was the first place he arrived at after entering this cursed and abandoned land.
This is the beginning of God's light spreading in eternal darkness, the starting point of all hope.
The figures quickly came into full view. Most of them were over two meters tall, with normal facial features and bodies, and no deformities. They were looking at the residents of Moon City with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.
His imposing height and enviable normal appearance immediately made Xin, Ruth, and the others nervous, feeling both inferior and uneasy.
However, a quick glance revealed that many residents of City of Silver were gnawing on the browned mushrooms, occasionally sucking out the steaming liquid from the plump, white mushrooms.
This familiar scene gradually put the Moon City people at ease, and they began to regard the " Half-Giant " as their own.
The chief of the " Council of Six," Waite Chirmont, nodded to the leader of Moon City, the high priest known as Nim, and said:
Are you ready?
His gaze was calm and natural, showing no discrimination whatsoever because most people in Moon City had "terrifying" appearances.
Fearing something might go wrong, Nim immediately responded:
"Ready."
Waite Chirmont then turned his gaze to the residents of City of Silver:
"Finish your meal within three minutes and begin prayer."
In less than a minute, the residents of City of Silver finished drinking the "milk," put away the remaining food in their hands, and devoutly prayed to Mr. " The Fool."
The ancient inhabitants of Moon City miraculously appeared before them, giving them much more confidence in leaving the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and leading them to truly believe in the " The Fool."
A few seconds later, everyone on the City of Silver training ground disappeared.
The city fell into complete silence, and soon polluted weeds would grow there, with Monster roaming the streets and houses.
In the blink of an eye, the residents of City of Silver and Moon City arrived in front of the Giant King's Palace, where the Twilight light was frozen.
This was a deliberate act by Klein, a "ritual" for these ancient inhabitants of the Forsaken Land of the Gods to bid farewell to the past.
As the people of Moon City were awestruck by the grandeur, epic scale, and mythical feel of the " Giant King's Court," most of the residents of City of Silver instinctively turned their heads to look down and into the distance.
Beyond the orange-red Twilight lies an earth completely submerged in darkness, only occasionally revealing the outlines of ancient buildings, towering peaks, and grotesque plants when lightning flashes across the sky.
Lightning struck, and darkness surged in once more, swallowing everything up again.
Then, the people of City of Silver and Moon City turned around and turned their gazes into the depths of the Giant King's Palace.
There was an open gate, beyond which lay a sea dyed a fiery gold.
People whose eyes were filled with sunlight immediately felt their surroundings blur, and the scene rapidly shattering.
The fragments rapidly Reorganization, transforming into a deep blue ocean, the fishy smell, the clanging of hammering, and an orange-red the Sun that was not yet close to the horizon.
The residents of Moon City and City of Silver looked around in astonishment and anticipation. They saw lush forests that were not Distortion at all, stone buildings that had not undergone any repairs, Liaval and the others, the road leading to the port, and the ships docked there.
Many people's vision blurred instantly, as if they were being baptized by holy light.
They could clearly sense that there was no Depravity, filthy, or mysterious power here.
Most of the residents of City of Silver and Moon City either bowed their heads or knelt on the ground, praising Mr. The Fool loudly and kissing the seemingly fragrant soil with great excitement.
The others weren't ungrateful to Mr. " The Fool," but they were still immersed in the dramatic change of events, their minds and bodies deeply shaken.
Once they had recovered somewhat, Liaval went to greet them, his eyes fixed only on his wife and daughter.
Upon getting closer, he couldn't contain his excitement and joy and opened his mouth, wanting to tell his wife and children what he had seen and heard during this time. However, he found that there was just too much to share, like countless surging rivers rushing to his throat and getting stuck there.
After several seconds, Liaval finally uttered a sentence:
"We... we have a new home now..."
Before he could finish speaking, the nearly 2.5-meter-tall " Half-Giant " hurriedly reached into his pocket and then out again, offering his hands to his wife and daughter.
"These are candies that the divine messenger gave us. They all said they were delicious..." Liaval's face broke into a smile.
Two small, thumb-sized objects, wrapped in thin paper, lay quietly in his palm, their surfaces wrinkled and damp with a little sweat.
"Milk candy..." Liaval's wife didn't quite understand the word; it was a new word in the Jotun, composed of "milk" and "honey."
Influenced by her father's emotions, their daughter boldly took the candy and was about to put it in her mouth.
"No, no, you have to peel off the outer layer." Liaval quickly took back the two candies, peeled off the wrappers, and held one in each hand to his wife and daughter's mouths.
His daughter bit down hard, making a crunching sound.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression gradually became more raptured.
During this process, she was even reluctant to speak.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Liaval's wife also put the candy in her mouth.
She felt this was a very precious thing, so instead of biting it directly, she held it in her mouth and let it dissolve little by little.
The indescribable aroma of milk and sweetness slowly spread, gradually captivating Liaval's wife as well.
Seeing this, Liaval's smile widened, and he finally uttered the words that had been stuck in his throat:
"The divine messenger said we can go to Bayam City to find work, take on quests, and earn gold pounds. That way we can buy more milk candy, and we can also sell unwanted Beyonder Characteristic and Monster leather to the ' Sea God ' Church..."
"' Sea God ' is a follower of Mr. ' The Fool '..."
"It's getting dark soon. I'll take you to the beach to watch the sunset. It's so beautiful. I go to see it every day, always thinking that when you come, I'll take you there too..."
Finally, the problem is solved, and the anchor is much more stable... Moreover, fulfilling the Wishes of the people of City of Silver and Moon City has allowed me to digest a lot more of my " Miracle Invoker " Potion, but not as much as recreating City of Constant. Indeed, the " God of Wishes " is not the most accurate Acting... Klein, above the Gray Fog, slowly exhaled and threw the " Staff of the Stars " back into the pile of junk.
Next, he will continue to wander, creating miracles, and occasionally go to the Forsaken Land of the Gods to transform some Monster into Marionette in preparation for the subsequent rituals.
In the next phase of Acting the " Miracle Invoker," Klein plans to accumulate Wishes to modify his appearance and physique until he can solve the problem of the deformed people in Moon City and create another miracle.
That's not too difficult... Many young ladies and women wish to get rid of acne, get double eyelid surgery, and make their noses more prominent, and I have some ways to achieve that... By accumulating knowledge little by little, from low to high, from simple to difficult, I'll eventually be able to cure the deformed people of Moon City... Once they're outside, they become increasingly ashamed... Klein muttered to himself for a moment, then suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"That way I could call myself 'the ruler of the beauty industry, the patron saint of designers and construction workers, and the miracle Maker of long-distance Travel '..."
After entering waters without safe passage, the " Mystery Queen " Bernadette seemed to lose her sense of time. If it weren't for the precise wall clock hanging in her captain's cabin, she would have surely forgotten how many days she had been in this dangerous area.
The fierce winds and torrential rains caused the ships to sometimes soar high and sometimes drift sideways, as if foreshadowing the coming of the Apocalypse.
Bernadette watched calmly and waited patiently, without interfering too much with the situation of the " Dawn ".
After an unknown amount of time, the storm finally subsided.
Just then, some dark silhouettes appeared in the distance.
