Under Anthony Alfonso's efforts, the old man finally opened his eyes gradually.
However, he seemed to be a little confused about the current situation. He saw that the stranger in front of him neither showed panic nor curiosity. He just stared at Hao Ren and Anthony Alfonso for a while. After a long while, he muttered in a low voice, "When is this going to end …"
Hao Ren then understood what was going on: the old man did not know that he had been rescued. He was still immersed in the illusion.
"Old man, old man," Lily poked the old man's arm with her claws, and the cold air of the Frost Claws lifted the old man's spirits. "Wake up, wake up. You are saved! The poison and the magic in your body have been removed! "
The old man rolled his eyes and looked back and forth between Lily and Hao Ren several times before he gradually woke up from the chaos. He suddenly took a deep breath and tried to sit up with his upper body. "You … Who are you? Where am I?! "
"Relax, don't move," Vivian immediately stretched out her hand to stop the old man's violent movements. "You are very weak from the radiation, and it will take some time for your cells to recover. This is still Vanaheim, but you are safe now. We are passing investigators. "
"Investigators?!" The old man looked a little confused. "Where are the investigators from?! Are you also from Twilight Capital? The Steam Assembly … No, it doesn't look like it. Are you … from other kingdoms?! "
Hao Ren scratched his head. "Well, I don't know how to explain it to you, but it's certainly not the Twilight Capital you said. We are from somewhere outside Yggdrasil … Well, it seems that you don't understand where 'outside' is. Well, we are from other kingdoms."
He had only said it casually, but he did not expect the old man to be so agitated after hearing it. Even though he had just recovered from a serious illness, the old man almost jumped up. "The other kingdoms! Other kingdoms! The remnant light in the darkness! As the ancient book said … As the ancient book said … The universe collapsed, but a new fire was ignited in the ashes of Yggdrasil. A new world will eventually appear … Where are you from? Jotunheim? Niflheim? Svartalfheim? Could it be Vanaheim? No … We have passed through these kingdoms, and there is only scorched earth everywhere … The one in the best condition is Jotunheim, but there is only a desert left … Asgard? Are you from Asgard?! "
Hao Ren did not know why the old man in front of him was so agitated all of a sudden, but he could vaguely guess. He held the old man's hand and tried to calm him down. "Calm down first — we did come from Asgard, but we … Well, we came from Asgard. By the way, are you the only one who survived? "
The old man took a long time to calm down. When he mentioned his dead teammates, there was obvious sorrow on his face. "Yes, I'm the only one who survived. When we set off, there were more than ten of us, but everyone else died. I was heading to Asgard, and I knew that there must still be remnants of light there. Even if it was just to take a look, it would be good … But I couldn't hold on. How did you get here? Are you also looking for other survivors in the nine kingdoms? "
"Let's talk about our business later," Nangong Sanba suddenly came over. "Where are you from, old man? Can you tell me about yourself? Are there other human settlements in this world? "
"My name is Wendell, Wendell Fran." The old man then remembered to introduce himself. "I am from Twilight Capital, the last fortress in the long night. I am a Lightseeker, a person who looks for the remnants of light in the long night. I don't know if there are other kingdoms outside Twilight Capital … except Asgard. "
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Wendell." Hao Ren nodded and introduced the people around him. "You can call me Hao Ren. These are my friends, Vivian, Lily …"
After both sides introduced themselves, Vivian immediately asked, "Where is Twilight Capital?"
"A long time ago, it was called Midgard," the old man smiled bitterly. "That's what the ancient books say. But since the collapse of the world and the end of the day, Midgard has been shrouded in darkness. Nearly 90% of the land on the continent is no longer habitable. The remaining areas are protected by a light curtain. A great ancient saint is our shelter. What is the situation in Asgard? Is there also a Twilight Capital there? "
"According to your description, Asgard should be much better than your hometown," Hao Ren sighed and suddenly thought of something. "You said you are a Lightseeker. Do all Lightseekers dress like you?"
"Yes," the old man looked down at his costume, "These blessed things can make the Lightseeker resist the power in the darkness."
"Then a hundred years ago, a group of people like you should have arrived in Asgard. They also paid tribute to Heimdallr on the battlefield in front of Bifröst," Hao Ren frowned. "Didn't they bring the news back? You look like you don't know anything about Asgard. "
The old man trembled and took out a piece of parchment from his arms. "They couldn't bring the news back. I know the warriors a hundred years ago, the bravest people, they must have found Asgard, but they were all wiped out on the way back. "
Vivian took the parchment and looked at it. She sighed and said, "Fate makes fools of people."
There was no doubt that the group of 100 warriors mentioned by the old man was the group of "battlefield scavengers" that appeared in the surveillance video of Valhalla. Y 'zaks' guess was wrong. Those people were not treasure hunting on the battlefield, but investigating the existence of other spaces.
At that time, only five people appeared in the video. The fate of the other ninety-five people could be imagined. Even the five people who appeared in the video did not succeed in bringing their findings back.
Y 'zaks suddenly came over and asked, "Can you take us to your Twilight Capital?"
Wendell was shocked when he saw Y 'zaks' big face. He did not look carefully when Hao Ren introduced him just now. At this time, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ancestors, descendants of the giants!!"
Y 'zaks was speechless.
"Well, this is not a giant, although the giants were indeed ugly," Vivian waved her hand awkwardly. "Let's talk about Twilight Capital."
Wendell nodded without hesitation. In fact, after seeing the group of strangers in front of him, a strange ecstasy and surreal feeling had completely enveloped his heart. In this state of dizziness, he felt that he would agree to almost anything — as long as it did not dissipate like a dream.
Wendell still could not recover from this dizziness until he embarked on the journey back to Midgard.
"I … should go to Asgard first," Wendell suddenly said on the way. "I still can't believe it …"
"Oh, that's easy." Galazur nodded and took out her MDT. "I'll show you the video. If you really want to do a field trip, wait until we are done with our business. Then you will have a chance to visit around. "
The MDT suddenly projected the scenery of Asgard. There were vast plains, twisted but still green jungles, the magnificent ruins of the Garden of Asgard, and the clear and transparent sky. Although Asgard was also destroyed by the Twilight of the Gods, and the Garden of Asgard was covered with scorched ruins, compared to the other major kingdoms that had completely turned into a twisted land …
Asgard was as beautiful as heaven.
Wendell was shocked at first by the MDT, but he was soon deeply attracted by the scenery on the holographic projection. He stared at the image as if he was obsessed with it until Galazur coughed impatiently beside him.
"Ah … I'm sorry, I've never seen this …" Wendell shook his head, looking excited and confused. "I've never seen this kind of scene. I've read similar descriptions in some ancient books, but I didn't know it actually looked like this. This … is beautiful. Unbelievable, in the corner of the world, there is a place that has recovered to this point. We should have known earlier. The Steam Assembly of Twilight Capital should have known earlier … "
"Tell us about Twilight Capital," Vivian suddenly said. "What kind of place is it? How did you survive after the collapse of the Nine Worlds?"
"Before that, we'd better change our mode of transportation," Anthony Alfonso glanced at Wendell. "It seems that you have almost recovered after walking for a while. Are you airsick?"
"Airsick?" Wendell was a little puzzled.
The old sorcerer raised his hand, and his magical spherical aircraft appeared out of thin air. "I'm talking about this, the aircraft."
