Although the scene he could see was blurry, Klein still noticed that the environment around the boy was dim, the tables and chairs were old, but they were occasionally illuminated by flashes of light. The light was like lightning, but Klein couldn't hear the rumbling of thunder or the sound of raindrops.
Where is this?
Klein was a little puzzled. He listened carefully to the boy's voice and realized that the other party seemed to be speaking Jotun.
If it had been a few days ago, Klein would have been completely confused, but fortunately, after these few days of hard study, Klein was already able to use Giant for basic communication.
So he could understand what the boy was saying:
"Great God, please turn your gaze back to this place forsaken by you."
"Great God, please let us, the people of darkness, be free from the curse of fate."
"I am willing to dedicate my life to you, to please you with my blood."
"Please save my father and mother."
Save your father and mother... But I don't know how to save them... Because the first focus of attention was the sentence 'save father and mother', Klein didn't even notice the descriptions such as 'forsaken land' when the boy prayed for a moment.
He wanted to do something, but found that he seemed to be unable to do anything, and even couldn't pull people to the gray fog—he still couldn't pull the fourth person to the gray fog.
"I can only watch..." Klein murmured. He found that the only thing he could do now seemed to be just watching.
Although he was not related to the boy, this kind of realization still made Klein feel a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Klein suddenly felt a wave of spirituality spreading, stimulating this mysterious space, and then a hazy door appeared behind the high-backed chair.
Because he had already conducted experiments with Lin Ruo on the sacrificial ritual, Klein naturally knew that Lin Ruo had performed the sacrificial ritual.
That's right, Lin Ruo might have a way... Klein immediately withdrew his spirituality from the illusory star, and then first spread out his own spirituality, joining the vibration and stimulation above the gray fog.
Clang—
Along with the illusory sound, a hazy door slowly opened, and then a small bag was spit out.
Klein took the small bag, opened it, and found that it contained some gems that looked very high-quality.
Klein then put the bag away, and then, after the sacrificial ritual ended and the illusory door disappeared, spread his spirituality to the illusory star representing Lin Ruo.
In reality, Lin Ruo, who had just extinguished the candles lit for the sacrificial ritual according to the procedure, suddenly felt a familiar trance.
Then he found himself back above the gray fog.
Hmm, this is... Could it be because of Little Sun?
While Lin Ruo was guessing in his heart, he also showed a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong? Klein, what's the matter?"
"Lin Ruo, it's like this..." Klein took a breath and told the story of the petitioner just now, and finally looked at Lin Ruo with some expectation, and asked, "Do you have any way?"
Lin Ruo was silent. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I have no way either."
He really had no way to do anything. After all, Little Sun's parents were in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and Lin Ruo couldn't go to the Forsaken Land of the Gods now.
Moreover, even if he really went, Lin Ruo couldn't be sure that he could save Little Sun's parents... After all, he didn't even know what was going on with Little Sun's parents.
Not to mention that there was still an Amon in City of Silver. If he really went, he might not be able to save people, and Lin Ruo himself would be parasitized by Amon.
"I see..." Klein was a little disappointed, but not too surprised.
"Klein, this is not your fault." Seeing that Klein seemed a little depressed, Lin Ruo couldn't help but comforted him.
"I know." Klein sighed. Of course he knew it wasn't his fault, but this situation of someone dying in front of him but he couldn't do anything still made him feel heavy.
"Speaking of which, the petitioner's description of himself reminded me of a place." Although he was not in a good mood, as a qualified teacher, Lin Ruo took the initiative to change the subject at this time.
"What place?" Klein was indeed attracted and asked subconsciously.
"The Forsaken Land of the Gods." Lin Ruo said unhurriedly, his eyes deep.
...
Lin Ruo didn't give Klein too much popular science about the Forsaken Land of the Gods, because in the persona he set for himself, he couldn't know too much about the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
So Lin Ruo just simply said a little about the legend of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and discussed with Klein the possibility that the petitioner, who is the future Little Sun Derrick Berg, came from the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and then left the gray fog because there was nothing else to do.
Returning to his body again, sitting at the desk, Lin Ruo propped his chin with one hand and was slightly lost in thought.
The fate of City of Silver...
He thought of the plot about City of Silver in the original book, thought of the Shepherd elder and the Chief of City of Silver who fell before dawn, and finally took a long breath, suppressing all these emotions.
Lin Ruo knew that it was too early to think about City of Silver now. It was not something he could participate in now.
Compared to City of Silver, it's better for him to think about the action goals for the next period of time... Lin Ruo thought this way, his fingers tapping on the table unconsciously.
First of all, the short-term goal must be to digest the Provoker potion. This will not be difficult. After all, Lin Ruo's Provoker potion has already digested about two-thirds of the progress. Basically, it will take at most ten days or half a month to completely digest—this is still based on the fact that Lin Ruo spends a lot of time studying, doing other things, and only spends a small amount of time acting every day.
For this reason, the acquisition of the Pyromaniac potion formula must be put on the agenda.
Secondly, Klein's special training cannot be left behind, especially to supervise him in digesting the Seer potion. When Klein has completely digested the Seer potion, he will immediately help him advance to the Clown—Lin Ruo actually has an idea. If this time Klein's advancement still improves his supernatural ability, Lin Ruo wants to meet the Red Angel Medici.
On the one hand, Lin Ruo really coveted Medici's Blasphemy Card, and on the other hand, he was also very curious about how Adam would arrange for Medici to escape after Ince died.
—Lin Ruo could be sure that Medici's escape in the original book was secretly fueled by Adam, who had even been paying attention to the Hot Pot Evil Spirit to some extent.
Is this an adventure? I guess so! But since he has already entered the other party's script, Lin Ruo doesn't want to be coy anymore.
In addition, he must continue to investigate matters related to the Secret Order, investigate the clues of the original owner's enemies, and also pay attention to the movements of the Aurora Order, the Demoness Sect, and the royal family at all times.
Although Ince is dead and 0-08 has fallen into Adam's hands, this does not mean that the Backlund smog event that killed countless people in the original book will not happen in the future.
After all, the main culprits that caused the Backlund smog event in the original book were the above three, not Ince and 0-08.
Although it is not certain that he will be able to stop it successfully, it is impossible for Lin Ruo to watch such a tragedy happen before his eyes and do nothing.
Besides these... Lin Ruo picked up the letter from Salty Fish on the table, browsed it, and took out another piece of letter paper.
He has to continue fishing for a certain salty fish... Well, in addition to the key information in the next letter, let's urge for updates by the way!
It's rare to meet an author whose writing style suits his taste, it's not easy.
...
At the same time, in the Sonia Sea, inside the captain's room of the Blue Avenger.
The Hanged Man Alger, who had obtained the small bag containing gems worth 1,200 pounds that Lin Ruo had paid him through the prayer ritual, sat quietly on the chair, with a look of rejoicing, fear, and worry.
He closed his eyes, and the illusory door he had just seen appeared in his mind again.
...Mr. Fool is indeed getting closer and closer to reality. He is indeed getting out of trouble step by step.
Fortunately, I am at least a member of the Tarot Club, and one of the earliest members...
Alger didn't know whether he should be happy or sigh for a moment.
