Abner had long noticed that there were other people approaching, so he was not surprised by the sudden cry. While he asked Fors to process the materials on the “Three-Eyed Thunderbird”, he adjusted the posture of the five fireballs so that they could look at each other. The direction of the source of the sound is illuminated.
Then, under the light of the fire, three thin figures appeared in front of the two of Abner.
Their clothes were ragged and haggard, their faces and bodies were covered with dirty mud, and they gave off a stench, as if they had not washed for a long time.
After looking at them for a while, I could barely tell that they were two men and one woman, and I saw the incomplete holy emblem of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun on the clothes that were so tattered that they could barely cover their bodies.
Extraordinary of the Church? Abner motioned them to keep a certain distance, not to get too close, and then asked, “‘Light of Purification’?”
The official Beyonder team of the Church of the Eternal Sun is called “Light of Purification”.
“Yes, sir. Donne and I are ‘Light of Purification’.” The leading man pointed to himself and another very old man beside him, and continued, “But Darcy is not, she is’ A member of the ‘Heart of Machines’…”
Having said this, he paused, then turned to greet him politely: “My name is Defoe, and I’m the captain of the ‘Light of Purification’ team… I don’t know what your name is?”
“Mechanical Heart” wears “Light of Purification” clothes? That’s right, the materials in this relic are probably very scarce. It would be good to have complete clothes to wear when going out. How can you be picky…
However, it can be seen from this point that the uniforms distributed by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun are of better quality!
While exuding his thoughts, Abner did not conceal his identity, and said succinctly: “You can call me Abner.”
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to continue to be polite, he asked directly: “Are you three still alive?”
According to the information collected by him and Forsi, there were six official members who disappeared at the same time as Thunderbird, three each of “Light of Purification” and “Heart of Machinery”.
“There are only three of us… Ed, Brown, and Ben have all been called by the Lord… Ed and Brown died in the temple in the center of the ruins, while Ben was eaten by this **** bird!
“By the way, Mr. Abner, I also forgot to thank you for avenging Ban!” The “Light of Purification” captain named Defoe glanced at the Thunderbird whose eyes were being plucked by Fors. While relieved, he swallowed unconsciously.
At this time, the only lady among the three, “Heart of Machinery” named Da Qian suddenly said, “Sir, can you give us the bird’s body after taking the Beyonder materials?”
Hearing this, Abner fell silent and stared at them for a while before nodding: “Yes.”
At this time, Forsi had already divided all the extraordinary organs on Thunderbird. She quickly returned to Abner and threw the bird’s body, which had been peeled, skinned, and disembodied, to the three people on the opposite side.
“Thank you!” After Captain Defoe took the Thunderbird’s body, he moved his throat, then removed one of the bird’s thighs and grilled it in the flames condensed by another team member.
After a while, the fragrance wafted out, and the three of them couldn’t wait to tear off a piece each, regardless of whether their hands were dirty or not, they put them in their mouths and chewed.
Although they seem to be tortured by hunger, there is no raw food, no looting, and even only one thigh to restrain their appetite… This shows that their mental state is not too bad, at least not as crazy as the bird…
Thinking like this, Abner seemed to be casual, but in fact he used his “mind reading” ability and asked, “What do you usually eat?”
When asked, Captain Defoe chewed and swallowed the Thunderbird’s leg bone, and then took out a few pieces of black stuff from a broken bag that he carried, and roasted them on the fire as well, and answered while putting them in his mouth. Said: “Although there is no light in this ruin, and the plants and animals have long since died… But fortunately, these mushrooms are still growing, bringing a glimmer of hope to those of us who have entered by mistake.
“As for the water source, it occasionally rains in this ruin, and we will reserve some…but that’s barely enough for us to drink.”
He guessed what Abner was worried about, so he explained the three of them’s food sources in great detail.
mushroom? Well, it should be that mushrooms grew near the dead root of the big tree in reality, and it was mapped into this illusory world… The same is true of rain… Abnero thought about it and had a guess in his heart, and at the same time his attitude eased. Come down, no longer scrutinizing them as before, but still on guard.
Captain Defoe also seemed to be very interesting, and without waiting for Abner to continue to ask, he took the initiative to talk about their specific situation and the general experience in the past twenty years.
Through his narration, Abner knew that Captain Defoe in front of him was a Sequence 6 “Notary”, and Dorn and Darcy, who were still eating bird legs, were Sequence 7’s “Sun Priest” and “Appraiser”, while The dead Ed, Brown, and Ben are the “Keeper”, “Wizard” and “Craftsman” respectively.
This was originally a joint investigation team composed of two Sequence Sixes and four Sequence Sevens. When it first entered the ruins by mistake, the Thunderbird would only avoid them and did not dare to approach.
But in the process of their exploration of the palace in the center of the ruins, attrition inevitably occurred, the overall strength of the team plummeted, and the Thunderbird was no longer afraid, and turned to hunt them. When the “Craftsman” is placed on the order, kill it and devour it…
After Abner and Fors listened carefully to their narration, the former asked after thinking for a while, “You mean that the collapsed central palace is guarded by a powerful ancient resentful spirit, which is in the remnants of the ruins. With the blessing of strength, it is almost comparable to a demigod?”
After finishing speaking, Abner glanced at Fors. If he remembered correctly, one of the main materials of the “Recorder” was the “curse of ancient resentful spirits”.
Although Forsi is still only a “Master of Trickster”, she has already changed from herself to the Extraordinary characteristics of “Astrology”, and she will be promoted to Sequence 7 within a month or two…
Is this pure luck, or is it deliberately arranged?
From leaving the “Box of God” to Forsi, to the constant pulling of the dream, to the “Ancient Wraith”, how does it feel that the planner is completely tempting Forsi to enter that palace?
In the blink of an eye, Abner asked the Captain Defoe again, “Are you sure the way out is in that palace?”
“Not sure…but there is the only hope…” Defoe looked sad. The ruins of the palace that had not been fully explored were in a sense the motivation for them to persist in survival. If even this thought was shattered, they would Really going to sink.
“Are you going? I can lead the way! I can even act as a bait…” At this time, Daqian, the only lady among the three, said, “I only ask you one thing, if you can really go out, please do so for me. Apologize to my son…told him that mom was sad not to see him grow up…but mom always loved him!”
In the battle between Abner and the Three-Eyed Thunderbird, she saw the strength of the former, and felt that he really had the hope of breaking through the gate guarded by the ancient spirits.
Another “Sun Priest” Donne who has been silent also said in a hoarse voice: “I can too… My request is to ask you to help me visit my parents. If they have any difficulties, try to help me. Help them… I can give you my extraordinary item as a reward.”
Hey, this act of standing before you set off is disgusting! Abner complained in his heart, stopped Captain Defoe who was about to speak, and said first: “You take us to the palace first, as to whether you want to go in~www.mtlnovel.com~ Let me take a look. Say it again.”
“Okay.” Captain Defoe nodded without hesitation, “Come with me.”
After speaking, he packed up the remaining bird meat, and walked towards the darkness with the other two covering each other.
Abner dragged Fors and followed, and whispered to her about his guesses as he walked, and finally said, “Whether you want to enter the palace to find out, it’s entirely up to you.”
“But, without entering the palace, are we going to this ruin?” Fors asked in surprise.
“It’s not a big problem. Although this ‘world’ is special, it is always a dream. The ability of the demigod-level ‘dream shuttle’ should be able to take us away… And I just have such a means.” Abner is confident replied.
Forsi glanced at the three people walking in front, hesitated for a while, and said, “Since I can leave at any time, I also want to figure out the reason for ‘summoning’ me here… Otherwise, I’ll ‘run away’ this time. There may not be conditions for such a safe exploration again.”
Although she is a little “salted fish” on weekdays, she is not indecisive when it comes to making a decision.
In the original book, this was the case when helping the teacher find someone to kill Mr. X, and it is the same now.
