Chapter 373 Hermes' Reminder
"Levicht?"
Klein murmured... "The name seems to have been mentioned in the Silver City mythology materials provided by the 'Sun.' It belongs to the Second Era and is the divine kingdom of the 'Dragon of Imagination,' Angelweid."
It is a city imagined, floating in the sky.
This "miracle city" from the Second Age still exists today.
"Going to Levihild to recuperate from his injuries... could that wounded angel actually be a dragon?"
"Based on some memories I recall, it should be called an ancient dragon."
"I have very few memories of this; I only know the name Gu Long, and perhaps I had never been exposed to him before."
Azik nodded slightly, then continued, "You'd better not linger in Bayam for a while; there might be more to today's danger than meets the eye."
"Even without it, Bayam, with the Storm Church's increased security, is still quite dangerous for unfamiliar Extraordinary beings."
"Okay, I understand. I plan to leave Bayam in the next couple of days."
Klein nodded seriously, paused slightly, and said with a rather awkward tone, "Mr. Azik, just when I asked you for help, another messenger was killed."
Azik nodded nonchalantly: "It's alright, I have many more messengers like this."
"In battles involving demigods, messengers are indeed prone to accidents. Perhaps I should consider using a more powerful underworld creature to deliver the message."
Klein's expression turned somewhat strange. He felt that the more powerful Netherworld creature Mr. Azik mentioned was likely a demigod from the realm of death, or a being close to a demigod.
He originally thought that demigods should be very rare, but it seems that for the "Death Archon" who has mastered a layer of the underworld, even demigods are not that rare.
Gathering his scattered thoughts, he immediately changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Azik, I'd like to recruit my own messenger. Do you know how to draw up a contract, and who should act as witness?"
When he asked how to summon the messenger, neither Sirion nor Redlight mentioned it, as if they both assumed that he already knew this knowledge.
...It's possible that they all implicitly assumed the other would tell me, but in the end, no one did.
Azik was slightly surprised, then chuckled and asked, "What kind of messenger do you want? I can send you one directly. I have quite a few of those skeleton messengers that you summon with the bronze whistle in my underworld."
"There are even more powerful ones, but without my suppression, they may not obey your commands."
"If a contract is to be signed, it is best to have a righteous god who holds the relevant authority as a witness."
"In the past, the Grim Reaper, who held the authority over enslavement and the dead, could serve as witness. Now, the underworld can serve as witness. Although the constraints will be somewhat weaker, it is sufficient to complete the contract."
"The name that points to the underworld is: the destination of all the dead, the hell hidden deep in the spirit world, the witness to the final decay of all things, the kingdom that belongs only to the god of death."
"Hidden deep within... the spirit world?" Klein made no attempt to hide his surprise and curiosity.
Azik nodded slightly and explained, "The Underworld is a special place created within the Spirit Realm by Greta Garfield, the progenitor of the Phoenix. Essentially, it still belongs to the Spirit Realm."
"But that's a place that normal living beings can't reach. Real living people can't survive in the underworld even for a second."
The two then exchanged information for a while, and Klein told Azik about the Death God's documents that he had learned from the "Nightmare" who had been freed from "Crawling Hunger".
"I understand. I've recently been recalling some very vivid and sad memories, and I plan to go to that place first."
"I'll go and look at those Death God documents after I've fully recovered this part of my memory."
Klein nodded. "Okay, I'll keep an eye on the movements of that 'Disease General' who has access to the Death God's documents."
After Azik nodded slightly to him, his figure quickly faded away until he disappeared.
After watching Mr. Azik leave, Klein stared blankly at Bayam, who was some distance away, and then put his hand to his forehead.
"I should have had Mr. Azik take me back; it's so far, I might not even make it back before dark..."
Because "Wriggling Hunger" was not fed in time after use, its negative effects have now erupted, and it has been temporarily thrown onto the gray fog.
Of course, even if "wriggling hunger" were still usable, he wouldn't really want to use it.
The "Mirror Flash" from the "vengeful spirit" Señor requires entering the mirror world, and his recent experience has left him with some lingering fear of the "mirror world."
Inside the house at No. 14 Xiangshu Avenue, tiny, dazzling starlight flew out from the void, quickly outlining a phantom door covered with intricate patterns.
As soon as he stepped out from behind the "door," Cyril saw Hermes sitting on the sofa, smiling and nodding at him.
Slightly surprised, he stepped forward, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed slightly, saying, "Mr. Hermes, thank you very much for your help just now."
Hermes' gaze lingered briefly on the quietly burning, brilliant flame in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes that even the "audience" couldn't hide.
After a half-second silence, he smiled and said after accepting Cyril's thanks, "You're lucky. I happened to be in this area these past two days, helping to investigate the sudden disappearance of one of Barros Hopkins' clones."
"We have confirmed through some means that the identity of Eric Drake is not truly dead, or rather, not completely dead, but he is no longer free."
"The investigation has made no substantial progress, and I was planning to leave today, but then I heard Adam's voice."
Sirien suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his mind and the expression on his face. He glanced at Danitz, who was still lying in the armchair drinking, completely unaware of him and Hermes. He shook his head slightly and then looked away.
He paused, then sighed, "If I were really lucky, I wouldn't have run into the Witch Cult's ambush at this time."
"But they brought you a lot of benefits, didn't they?"
Sirien looked at the quietly burning, brilliant flame in his hand and nodded silently.
It's true that I gained a lot, but at the cost of Erdfana being cursed and suffering a severe decline in his condition. I probably won't be able to ask Him for help for a long time to come.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped, his mind racing with thoughts, and then a bold guess popped into his head... Could this all be part of Adam's script?
While wandering the spirit world, I happened to witness Klein and Alger encountering the demigods of the Rose School. "Sea King" Arne Cortman happened to possess a sealing artifact that countered "teleportation" and "flash," and Hermes happened to be nearby...
The Witch Cult's ambush likely stems from the fact that the "Primordial Witch" had not relinquished her "conqueror" nature, foresaw certain events, and made arrangements accordingly.
However, He was clearly inferior to Adam in planning. His trump card, "Mirror Projection," was forced to leave the mirror world, his home ground, to fight due to a series of unexpected events. As a result, He encountered Erdfauna, whom He could completely control but dared not kill.
This interconnected layout is very Adam's style, however...
He looked at the quietly burning, brilliant flame in his hand and sighed inwardly... This thing can indeed appease my dissatisfaction. Although Erdfana is not in good condition, with this "Planetary Planeswalker" trait, I can exert the power of the Archangels to a certain extent, and there is also Tobias, who can also briefly experience Sequence 1.
More importantly, with this characteristic, I might be able to respond to prayers all over the world, and I wouldn't have to worry about the problems of the Abraham family afterward.
I'll try it out sometime later...
As his thoughts gradually returned, he suddenly noticed Hermes sitting on the sofa, his expression gentle but silent.
"6
""
Holy crap!
Is this the kind of question I should be thinking about at this point...?
Those "audience" people are so damn insidious!
As he pondered how to remedy the situation, Hermes suddenly spoke up: "From the moment you thought of Adam, He cast his gaze upon us. Perhaps I do not know as much as you think."
"However, I am indeed very curious. Perhaps you could selectively tell me some of the information?"
"Consider this my reward for helping you this time."
After a moment of silence, seeing no change in his surroundings, he roughly understood that this meant Adam had tacitly agreed.
After a moment's thought, he organized his thoughts and said, "It's probably related to the loss of the Conqueror's trait in the deal between the Witch Cult and the Royal Family of Rune. The previous incident was about the 'Primordial Witch' trying to reclaim that trait."
Hermes's smooth forehead furrowed into a few wrinkles, then he asked, "Is it related to Bansie Island?"
"related."
Cyril nodded heavily... That "Conqueror" trait has always been used by Tobias, so how can it not be related?
Hermes nodded solemnly, then fell into a long silence.
Several seconds later, He exhaled softly, deliberately ending the topic, and instead said, "The Queen of Calamity, Goshinam, is not a purely tyrannical Sequence 2 angel; it's best not to use Her characteristics directly."
After saying that, before Sirien could ask any further questions, he waved his hand and his figure on the sofa quickly faded and disappeared.
This is just a phantom created by "psychological invisibility"; the real person has long since left.
Does He know that the "Book of Calamities" is with me?
Erdfana couldn't possibly be that careless, or was I seen getting the book?
He also took a liking to this book, but I took it first?
It's also possible that He was just guessing. Since He was in Bayam during this time, He would naturally have noticed the events caused by the "Sea God" Kavituwa. After tracing the source, He discovered the "Book of Calamities" and then suspected me.
However, "Queen of Calamity" Goshinam is not a pure "tyrant" pathway angel.
It's highly likely. It's been over a thousand years and it's still alive and kicking, and it can even divide its spirit into several parts. That's not the kind of ability a grumpy old man should have.
I wonder which path He combined, "witch" or "darkness"? Both paths involve disaster, so it's highly likely.
After letting his thoughts wander for a while, he suddenly heard Danitz, who was lying in an armchair drinking, exclaim in surprise: "Holy crap, when did you get back?"
Cyril glanced at him sideways and casually remarked, "You're drooling."
Huh? Danitz subconsciously reached out and wiped his cheek, only finding a little wine stain on the corner of his mouth.
"No... wait, I didn't sleep at all!"
"You're only just realizing it?" Sirien chuckled, then shook his head and said, "Your IQ doesn't seem suited to be a schemer."
...bullshit!
Is that secret organization you joined some kind of "Unusual Humans Alliance"? Otherwise, why are you all so annoying?
I was clearly the "provocative one"!
If I could beat him, I would have loved to shove a can of wolffish into his mouth. No, I wouldn't even need to; his mouth already stinks just like the can of wolffish.
Ignoring the angry yet hesitant expression on Danitz's face, he continued, "Pack your things, I plan to visit your captain tonight."
"Huh? Okay!" Although he was a little confused, Danitz agreed quickly.
He didn't want to stay in this dangerous place, Bayam, for even a day longer.
He jumped up from his armchair, took a few steps toward the bedroom, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "That rumbling noise in the sky just now, it had nothing to do with you, right?"
"What do you think?" Sirion countered.
Danitz rubbed his chin for a moment, then said very seriously, "That's true. Such a commotion indicates a battle between beings at least on the same level as Aquaman. How could it possibly be related to you?"
"Could this be a consequence of the previous incident involving Kavituwa?"
"The rebels are backed by the Fusak Empire, so it's not impossible that those barbarians secretly sent people to retaliate."
Looking at Danitz's serious and increasingly reasonable expression, Cyril felt as if a row of ellipses had appeared above his head.
In Port Olavi, at a local specialty restaurant, Danitz watched Gehrman Sparrow quietly enjoying his food, mentally repeating the action of exhaling and exhaling.
Damn it, why did this guy follow us here too?
Is our "Golden Dream" ship a ship that anyone can board?
Klein put down his knife and fork, glanced at Danitz, and said coldly, "Manage your expression."
Huh? Danitz blinked blankly.
I can tell you're cursing me in your heart.
"
""
The dining table was so quiet that you could hear your own breathing.
After a two-second silence, Danitz readily changed the subject: "This food is called Teyatiwa," which translates to "the flesh inside a fruit" in Ruen. It's one of the most popular local specialties of the Rothschild Islands among tourists.
"It requires a giant fruit native to the area called Teyana."
"The chef will hollow out the fruit, leaving only the hard shell, then stuff it with minced mutton and fish, season it with sea salt and several spices, and finally roast it over a fire repeatedly."
