If the Dark Demonic Wolf is really preparing for the Attendant of Mysteries ritual, then "His" whereabouts aren't completely untraceable … Klein nodded slowly. He already had some vague thoughts in his mind, but he could not truly sort them out.
He instinctively wanted to use the soil that had been tainted by the "curtain" to directly divine the whereabouts of the item and lock onto the Dark Demonic Wolf's current hiding spot. However, considering that the other party was an angel, this method would most likely alarm "Him," making "Him" alert and take evasive measures. Klein rationally gave up on this idea and returned to the real World to think hard about the entire matter.
The next day, when the frequency of the lightning gradually increased, another group of Moon City residents came to German Sparrow's bonfire under the lead of a priest named Duke. They listened to his preaching, enjoyed the mushrooms, and waited for purification.
After the residents of Moon City received the baptism and their faces were covered in tears, Klein looked around and asked casually, "What's the matter?
"The God of Sun asked you to stay here and watch out for anyone walking out of the fog?"
"Yes." Duke, whose swollen body had been cured, knew that the high priest had mentioned this matter to the oracle in front of him, so he answered quite frankly.
Klein nodded slightly and asked another question.
"If you really find someone walking out of the fog, what will you do?"
Duke didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.
"Immediately recite the honorific name of the great God of the Sun, and report this matter … to him …"
As he spoke, his tone became very gloomy. In the end, he couldn't even form words. That was because the God of Sun, the Creator, hadn't responded for more than two thousand years. Even when Moon City held the most complete ceremony and repeatedly chanted the honorific name, there was no response at all.
"What else?" Klein asked keenly.
This was a revelation from his spiritual intuition, and it was also a result of inference to a certain extent. It was obvious that the ancient Sun God and the City of Silver Creator had considered a problem. One possibility was that the person who walked out of the grayish-white fog was extremely careful and cautious. He didn't like being watched or monitored. After discovering Moon City's patrol team, he was inclined to use his Beyonder powers to influence their minds, making them forget that they had seen him or recite his honorific name.
Facing such a situation, the ancient Sun God should have made some arrangements.
Of course, this was not absolute. If Amon's father could accurately foresee that the person who walked out of the grayish-white fog was a novice, then there was no need to say too much in the oracle.
However, considering that the ancient Sun God, the City of Silver's Creator, had even predicted wrongly where he would come out of the grayish-white fog, Klein was skeptical of the above possibility.
Duke thought for a moment and hesitated.
"Greet that person and tell him a word."
Klein's spirits were immediately lifted, but he maintained his composure and asked,
"What word?"
Duke's lips moved a few times, as though he was mimicking the pronunciation. Then, he said in a strange tone,
"Chernobyl."
"…" Klein's mind froze for a second before he let out a silent sigh.
…
In a forest in East Chester County in the Kingdom of Rouen.
The farmers from the nearby villages gathered here, plucking the strange mushrooms that were covered in tree roots, rotten wood, and bushes.
According to the kingdom's laws, this forest and everything that grew within it belonged to its owner, Miss Audrey Hall. However, the continuation of the war, the collection of food, and the high taxes made the farmers unable to care about breaking the law. That was something they had to consider only if they survived. Furthermore, with more people participating, they naturally became bolder.
They formed small teams and efficiently plucked. They split the mushrooms that were covered in stars or had fat patterns into two portions. A small portion was kept for their own consumption, and most of them were prepared to be sold to the grain merchants waiting outside the forest in exchange for gold pounds to buy salt, cloth, and other necessities.
These farmers didn't go overboard. Apart from the mushrooms, they only took away a portion of the fruits on the trees, leaving enough for the guards of the forest to hand over.
In just two to three hours, the farmers sold a large number of mushrooms and fruits. With gold pounds in their hands and rations on their backs, they returned to their respective villages with smiles on their faces.
To them, everything that happened today was what they wanted to do, and they had achieved their predetermined goals.
The grain merchant with a beard was equally happy because this was an unexpected harvest. In the current situation, he could earn a lot of money.
He led the workers and moved a large number of mushrooms and fruits to the processing point outside the city. After the corresponding processing, they were all placed into the warehouse.
As a meticulous businessman, he checked the warehouse again after sending the workers away. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he personally closed the door and locked it.
At this moment, he saw a thick stack of cash on the ground, all of which were ten-pound denominations.
"When did I drop so much money?" The grain merchant bent down in relief and picked up the stack of cash.
As he counted, he suddenly remembered the origin of the money.
It was the profit from selling the mushroom powder, dried mushrooms, and preserved fruits!
"How generous!" The bearded merchant sighed in satisfaction as he turned to leave the warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, Audrey, who was wearing a light blue dress, dispelled her Psychological Invisibility and took out a black bag.
This was a Traveler's Bag that she had rented from Judgment Xio.
Following that, Audrey, whose blonde hair was tied up in a simple bun, easily poured the bags of food into the black bag.
After doing all of this, she took out a hard, bronze-green notebook and flipped to the page that recorded "Teleportation."
This was Leymano's Travels from Magicians Fors.
And everything that had happened was secretly controlled by Audrey.
She first gave the rapidly reproducing mushrooms provided by Ma 'am Hermit to the animals in the forest. With their help, she "planted" them in suitable spots. Following that, she "influenced" the farmers in the surrounding villages, strengthening their inner desires, allowing them to overcome their fear of the law. And the grain merchant and his employee "happened" to pass by and discover this matter.
This "manipulation" of people's hearts was addictive, as though she was the ruler of all life. However, Audrey didn't smile at all. Instead, she sighed softly.
"It's still not enough … I'm still lacking a lot. Very much …"
The mushrooms she had obtained weren't the type that Little Sun mentioned that could grow by feeding on monsters' flesh and blood. They needed the environment to provide them with sufficient nutrients to grow rapidly. Therefore, there was no way to plant mushrooms in this forest any time soon; otherwise, it might turn into a desert.
Staring at the empty cloth bags, Audrey's green eyes shimmered as she couldn't help but think.
Large amounts of food are concentrated with the Church, the royal family, the military, the government, the nobles, and the merchants …
Feysac, Intis, and Feynapotter also have it, but with just a Traveler's Luggage, I wonder how many times it will take …
It's very dangerous to 'manipulate' the nobles, merchants, and the military. I might be discovered if I'm not careful …
If the situation hadn't deteriorated to such a state, I might never have known that some people have such a side …
Different environments and situations make everyone wear different masks. I have to take note of this in the future …
As her thoughts raced, Audrey, who lacked experience in dealing with such matters, planned on seeking Mr. World's advice in the next two days to see if he had any suggestions.
As The World, German Sparrow had been walking alone in the uninhabited Forsaken Land of the Gods for long periods of time, surrounded by a dark and despairing environment, Audrey suggested that he seek her out for regular psychological counseling. It didn't necessarily mean that he needed to be treated. Just a casual conversation could effectively relieve the depression, loneliness, and depression.
German Sparrow followed the doctor's advice, and Audrey knew from their chats that apart from seeking her out for psychological counseling, this powerful adventurer would occasionally chat with Mr. Star above the gray fog. His emotional state was rather good.
With a decision, Audrey immediately activated her Traveling ability and returned to Baekeland.
But on second thought, she felt a little depressed.
This was because she knew that even if she gathered a large amount of food, it would only allow the residents of Baekeland to stabilize for a period of time. If the war didn't end, the situation would only worsen.
War … Audrey closed her eyes, completely at a loss as to how she could stop it.
She had heard from Ma 'am Hermit that the essence of this war was very likely to be a battle of gods. And the prelude to a battle of gods was the same. It was to spend a certain amount of time and strength to shake the opponent's anchor.
After some thought, Audrey pursed her lips and decided to start with what she could do.
As the notebook emitted a blurry glow, her figure quickly turned transparent and disappeared.
…
Beside the quietly burning bonfire, Klein, who had sent off the "guest" from Moon City, couldn't help but recall what Blasphemer Amon had once said.
"He" said that Chernobyl had history "He" wanted to explore, and there were many clues.
The ancient Sun God had also specially emphasized Chernobyl … Amidst his thoughts, Klein suddenly had the urge to explore Chernobyl.
This wasn't considered an impulse. It was something he had always wanted to do, but because of Amon, he didn't dare to put it into practice.
I've been heading east for more than half a year. No one would've thought that I would suddenly descend upon Chernobyl … Amon has obtained the last Worm of Time Beyonder characteristic and is preparing the ritual. It's impossible for his true body to still be in Chernobyl … Yes, "He" is a very patient King of Angels. Perhaps "He" has an avatar waiting in Chernobyl … Klein analyzed the current situation and decided to let the projection in the Historical Void give it a try.
In any case, his true body definitely wouldn't head there directly!
After making up his mind, Klein first went above the gray fog to do a divination. Then, he returned to the real World, reached out, and dragged out his past self from five minutes ago.
This historical projection gained consciousness as his true body vanished. Following that, he grabbed a few times and took out the black staff embedded with many gems.
Staff of the Stars!
Klein wanted to use the powers of the Staff of the Stars to directly "Teleport" to Chernobyl!
