- The land of God abandonment, the night when the lightning frequency is very low.
- Several human-looking creatures cautiously approached a meat ball with six legs and more than a dozen eyes.
- They are wrapped in animal skins or can not see the original material of simple clothes, with the help of the lighting of several lanterns, walking through the deep darkness, their expressions are very dignified.
- On their faces, some have more than ten or twenty sarcomas, some have two eyes almost squeezed together, some have no nose directly, and there are black holes in that position.
- After a fierce battle, they managed to get rid of the monster, and then divided into two groups, one was on guard for four weeks, and the other was harvesting the spoils.
- In the process, the man with multiple sarcomas on his face came to a sudden standstill while dissecting the monster's body and collecting edible parts.
- "Adar, what's wrong?" The woman without a nose asked questioningly.
- The man, known as Adar, slowly withdrew his right hand, revealing an object he had found on the monster.
- It was an amulet carved out of stone with many signs of corrosion.
- "this is." The man, whose eyes were almost squeezed together, seemed to understand the reason and hesitated not to finish.
- Adar looked around and said:
- "Sim, Ruth, I gave this to my father when I was a child.
- "on the day I came of age, he felt that he could no longer control himself and chose to leave the city-state and go into the depths of darkness."
- Both Xin and Ruth felt Adar's feelings for a moment of silence.
- This often happens in Moon City.
- Because there are not enough safe ingredients, they can only pick mutated plant fruits and collect the flesh and blood of monsters in order to survive.
- This can cause them to accumulate toxins and madness, and after a decline in physical condition, they either die quickly or gradually get out of control.
- The latter, in order not to affect the surroundings and cause no damage to the city-state, often arranged everything when they sensed that something was wrong, took torches and a small amount of food, left the defensive circle, went away alone in the darkness that never dissipated, and never returned.
- What will happen to them? the residents of Moon City can imagine that they are either killed by monsters or become monsters. There is no other possibility.
- After seven or eight seconds of silence, Xin, a noseless woman, hesitated and said to Adar:
- "maybe this is the monster that killed your father."
- "he has a belt made of animal skin." Adar's voice gradually dropped, picked up the dagger made of white bones in his hand, thrust it down hard, and cut out a fairly normal piece of flesh and blood.
- The members of the hunting team completed the collection skillfully in silence until Ruth, whose eyes were almost squeezed together, suddenly said in a low voice:
- "among the new-born children, there are more and more deformed people."
- The cost of accumulating toxins and madness from generation to generation is much more than a drop in average age, and people who are still in normal condition will gradually develop certain changes, just like Adar, who has a lot of sarcomas on his face.
- Similarly, precipitated toxins and madness may also be passed on to future generations, leading to the emergence of deformers, such as Ruth and Xin in the hunting team.
- Their lives will be shorter and more likely to get out of control and change.
- The hunting teams present know very well what deformed children mean more and more, that is, they may not need two or three generations, and the residents of Yuecheng may be out of control before they grow up and give birth to a new generation.
- In that way, even if there is no external blow, the moon city will perish quickly, leaving only stone buildings, walls and pictures to prove that they once existed.
- "I hope the high priest will find a new direction." Adar stood up with the lantern and answered with extraordinary weakness.
- Over the past two or three thousand years, Moon City has not sought a way out of its current situation. They have sent one exploration team after another to march into the depths of darkness. Some have returned after serious setbacks, with no harvest or no news. They just disappeared into the boundless darkness.
- In addition, some distance to the east of Moon City, there was a gray fog shrouded the sky and the earth.
- They are like invisible barriers that not only block the line of sight, but also make it impossible for any living creature to pass through.
- The residents of Moon City once thought that this was the place of hope, that the place shrouded in gray fog was a normal country, and that the other side of the gray fog was the uncursed land.
- They tried again and again to get into the gray fog, but all failed:
- They dug a long passage through the ground where there was no invisible barrier, but the corresponding area in the depths of the earth was also shrouded in gray fog.
- They managed to gain the ability to fly, trying to cross the sky, but could not see the top of the gray fog until they were struck by lightning.
- They mobilized the power of all the demigod and seals, attacked the target again and again, accumulated day after day for two or three thousand years, but failed to wear away the invisible barrier.
- Hearing the words of Captain Adar, the members of the hunting team were desperate and sad, as if they were slipping off the edge of the abyss, but could not save themselves. Those deformed people already belong to the type of emotions that are difficult to control, and at this time they all feel more or less depressed and want to burst out.
- In Yuecheng, two or three hundred years ago, the deformed could not become extraordinary, and those who joined the hunting team could only do gathering work, but as the manpower became more and more tight, the high priest and other senior officials relaxed the restrictions.
- "come on, this food is not enough." Adar looked around, carried the lantern and walked deeper into the darkness.
- They didn't risk putting out the fire and letting monsters gush out of the darkness, because those are probably things they can't deal with.
- It was so quiet that the members of the hunting team in Moon City could not help feeling that there was no end to the darkness.
- This is like the current situation of Moon City, where hope can never be found, and the lanterns in hands have less and less time to burn.
- When the last glimmer of light dissipates, they will be silently engulfed by darkness.
- As he walked, there was a sudden twinkle of yellow in Adar's eyes.
- That's a little fire, it doesn't belong to the hunting team!
- The light of the fire immediately shone into the eyes of all the members of the hunting team and filled their pupils.
- Adar, Xin, Ruth and others all opened their eyes wide uncontrollably, and a strong sense of surprise sprang up in their hearts.
- In their lives, in the historical records of Moon City after the catastrophe, there has never been a fire from elsewhere!
- It is true that many monsters have the ability to fire or the sun, but before launching an attack, they are lurking in the dark without showing any light.
- And now, a glimmer of fire appeared in the depths of darkness!
- The bodies of Adar, Xin and Ruth trembled slightly, thinking a lot for a time, but could not figure out what the answer was.
- They quickly recalled the hunting arrangements and confirmed that there could be no more residents of Moon City nearby.
- Since the fire does not belong to Moon City, where does it come from?
- The whole hunting team slowed down, shocked, stunned, curious, afraid, worried and panicked.
- They have also found some destroyed city-states, knowing that any anomaly in the darkness can be fatal.
- ". Alert! " Adar finally came to his senses and gave the order.
- The hunting team immediately spread out in battle formation, waiting for the dim light of the fire to approach this side.
- Time seems to freeze at this moment, every second is so slow, finally, after that fire light becomes bigger, shines a figure.
- The figure. There's only one person. Members of the Moon City hunting team held their breath at the same time.
- They seem, maybe, may be going to see an outsider!
- Two or three thousand years later, someone else finally set foot on this land.
- They are no longer the only ones in this abandoned world.
- And who can pass through the endless darkness, arrived here, Adar and others have no experience, there is no way to guess.
- As the fire grew and became more and more obvious, the members of the hunting team gradually became aware of the figure:
- It was a slender young man with black hair and brown pupils, a cold look, not a deformity, and no change.
- Wearing a strange hat, strange clothes and carrying a lantern made of special material, he came step by step from the depths of darkness.
- The light of his lantern was brighter than that of the hunting team combined, making the darkness around him recede quickly.
- Before long, the light shone on Adar, Xin and Ruth and others.
- The figure stopped, looked at the hunting team in Moon City, and said in a low voice:
- "where are you from?"
- Speak Giant language. Clear eyes, can communicate. Adar opened his mouth and stopped the impulse to answer subconsciously.
- He asked:
- "who are you?"
- The figure with the glass lantern replied gently:
- "German. Sparrow. "
- After more than half a year of trekking and overcoming one difficulty after another, Klein's spiritual intuition finally told him that he was about to arrive at his destination.
- And he also met the first batch of living people in this forsaken land "trip".
- "where are you from?" Adar remained vigilant and asked a question.
- Klein glanced across their faces and said in a constant tone:
- "I come from Silver City,
- "and from outside the cursed land."
- Hearing this answer, all members of the hunting team were in a trance, wondering if they were expecting so much that they had hallucinations.
- .
- In the autumn of 1351, Beckland was in the smoke of war.
- Since Fenerbaut also declared war on Roon, the war that had been sawed for some time was finally out of balance. Roon and his allies Remberger, Massey and Segal lost a lot of territory, leaving only the last few lines of defense in a difficult resistance. Crumbling.
- After seeing the long line at the food distribution point from the carriage window, Audrey slowly looked back and said to Annie, the maid:
- "go to St. Samuel's church."
