Klein was pushed a few steps and suddenly thought of something, and quickly said to Medici:

"Silver City has a camp outside the Giant King's Court!"

"I know that they have a stronghold in PM Town, which is permanently manned. We can take a straight line from here to contact them."

"Afternoon Town?" Medici thought for two seconds, then turned to look at Hermes, "Do you remember this place?"

Hermes also thought about it for a while before saying:

"Remember."

"I remember that it seemed to be the town closest to the King's Court of Giants. After the King's Court of Giants became part of the Temple of the Creator, the giants who originally lived here were driven away, and those who later settled there were worshipers, equivalent to ascetics.

and a gathering point for devout believers.”

Medici touched his chin:

"...It's a gathering place for pilgrims. I don't know. So, afternoon town was the closest town during the 'catastrophe'?"

Klein thought and nodded:

"When the Silver City team was exploring Afternoon Town, they saw the phantom of a clergyman who was a remnant of the ancient Sun God era. The phantom would repeat a sentence, saying that someone had seduced Sasril, and the kings frequently gathered at the palace.

The great disaster will begin from here."

"Let's talk about it later, we can't meet them now."

Medici waved his hand casually and continued to push Hermes and Klein forward:

"We just passed through the symbolic 'door', and we didn't appear outside the Giant King's Court. It's just because the Giant King's Court symbolizes the only door in the Land Abandoned by God, that's why we seem to have come directly here.

.”

"We are actually still on the road owned by the Aurora Society. Even if we go out from here, we can't see the Afternoon Town and Silver City."

As he spoke, the world around him began to fluctuate.

The sky filled with orange light gradually dimmed, and the blurry scenes floating around gradually became real.

Having arrived at the Eastern Continent, Hermes ended his dream walk. The orange-red sky above his head turned from dusk to late night in a few seconds. They walked from the dream to reality. The sky was an almost black deep blue.

, lightning and thunder exploded at a relatively low frequency, illuminating this endless wilderness. After nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the cold wind blew unknown plants on the ground to tilt and fall.

The illusory waves and beaches disappeared one after another. Medici blew a breath and the flames ignited, illuminating the surrounding environment.

The pure darkness here is no longer dangerous, but you still need to be wary of the lightless environment. That is the best moment for lurking monsters to launch attacks, and it is also where hidden "dreams" and "secrets" still exist.

The phantom of the Giant King's Court disappeared, and Klein looked around a few times in shock. Everything just now seemed to be just an illusion.

At the same time, the moment he set foot on this land, Klein felt that he had a deeper and more concrete understanding of the Eastern Continent and the Land Abandoned by the Gods. Sure enough, after all, scholars still have to personally explore, archaeologically, and practice reality.

The ruins confirm what you have learned.

"When we go out, if we want to leave from the King's Court of Giants, we must visit the Silver City and pass through the afternoon town with them." Medici turned half a circle and pointed to the north, "By the way, we also have to kill that guy in the King's Court.

It's settled, otherwise none of us will be able to go out again."

"Can't we go back the same way we came?" Klein felt that the way he came was relatively safe.

“It’s naturally best to be able to return the same way, but you have to make multiple plans.”

Medici's words are irrefutable: "Who knows what kind of changes will happen? And you have also seen that it is difficult for saints to survive in the Lord's dream. They need the protection of angels and even need a big snake to lead the way.

It’s impossible for all the survivors on the mainland to be mid-to-high-sequence Beyonders, right? Only by clearing the Giant King’s Court and opening the real door can the world inside and outside be unified and form a normal path.”

"Ordinary people can also leave through this road. This is what your ceremony is about."

There are no roads in the normal sense in most places in the "Land Abandoned by God", but it is not difficult to walk, because large areas here are desolate wilderness, and deep black is the main color of everything.

In the wilderness, you can occasionally see plants that grow tenaciously. They are weird and extremely twisted. Klein has no way of telling what the prototypes of these things are. The classics of Silver City and Moon City also use bloody lessons to remind future generations,

Don't touch this kind of thing hastily.

All around, where the firelight couldn't reach, the shadows seemed to have a life of their own.

The dream is floating in the sky, and the shadows in the corners are deep, seeming to be crawling silently, trying to swallow up everything covered.

Of course, Klein didn't think there was anything wrong with Medici's idea. He took a hard-covered notebook from Hermes's hand. The cover didn't feel like cowhide. He didn't know what material it was made of. The notebook was made of hard leather.

It has a very good protective effect in itself.

He took out a leather map made of the same material as the book cover. He glanced at the vague road outlined on it and the sixteen red crosses scattered like stars around the road. Then he picked it up from the ground.

With a branch, they quickly used a simple "divination stick method" to divine their current approximate location, the distance between their location and the nearest town, and their location in the east, west, north, and south.

The Eastern Continent is basically isolated from the spiritual world, but divining directions does not require the help of the spiritual world.

During this process, Hermes observed the actions of this "ancient scholar" with great interest, while Medici took out a cigarette box from his pocket after a quick glance, and rolled a strong cigarette.

He puffed away leisurely on the side.

"We are now in the southwest of the Eastern Continent..."

Klein's fingers wandered over the leather map for a while. His heart was pounding, and he felt excited about entering mythology and history.

This is not only because his "Ancient Scholar" potion is actively resonating with him, but also because Klein realizes that he has finally arrived here and finally has the opportunity to cash in the blank check he gave to the "Sun" a long time ago!

His current mood was more than joyful. Klein even wanted to stretch his body vigorously, stretch his body, and then smile.

The plain in front of us is deserted, but at the end of the field of vision there seems to be something bulging, like a wreckage or a hill. The lightning in the sky illuminates the unnatural traces on the endless wasteland. All of this proves the existence of human beings and the people here.

Have lived.

"According to my divination results and the approximate directions reported previously by Moon City and Silver City, Moon City is actually closer now."

Klein said to himself.

I have seen the huge gray fog seal near Moon City on Source Castle before. Now I have the opportunity to get in close contact with that fog to see what it has to do with Source Castle. Moon City is in the Eastern Continent.

One of the largest towns I know will definitely actively look for other survivors under safe conditions after dawn. So as long as the survivors that can be found must have gathered in Moon City, there should be no

Encountering other towns again...

...I just don’t know if Baiyin City and Yue City have established any contact during this period of time.

Logically speaking, the leaders of the two towns are only Sequence 4 at the highest level. They have not obtained Sequence 3, have no honorary names, and cannot summon messengers. They are too far apart from each other. They originally only relied on the existence and help of "The Fool" to stabilize themselves first.

They stopped, barely exchanged directions, and completed some maps of the God-Forsaken Land. So in the half month since I disappeared, their communication should have completely stopped.

Klein turned back a few pages of the notebook and found a blank, yellowed piece of paper.

He took out a pen from the historical projection, followed the route in his mind, drew a long curve, and then stopped.

"This location is almost where Yuecheng is. The error will not exceed two kilometers. It should be our first stop."

Klein looked around and saw that neither angel expressed any objection, so he continued:

"It's about two days' journey from here. If nothing else happens, we will stop here for a while, have a good rest, discuss with the High Priest of Nim in Moon City about leaving the Eastern Continent, and then walk northeast.

Heading to the location of Silver City."

"So if something unexpected happens, His Excellency the Angel of Time may have taken over the city instead of The Fool, expelled us, or even launched an attack on us?" Hermes thoughtfully completed the part that Klein did not say.

He is like a caring steward, always thinking of everything.

"Yuecheng... I haven't been there for almost two thousand years, and I don't know what it's like now."

Hermes looked into the distance and said slowly.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Klein, with light flashing in his eyes:

"You also know more about the Land Abandoned by the Gods than I do. Are you from Silver City? Or from Moon City? Or are you a remnant of another city-state?"

"Pull him down."

Medici took a deep drag on the cigarette and smoked out one-third of the cigarette in one puff. The smoke and tiny flames floated out from the corner of his mouth. He pointed at Klein and said with a half-smile:

"He is not from Silver City or Moon City. He is not from here. He is..."

Medici smiled and blew out a puff of smoke towards Hermes. The smoke slowly dispersed in the air, seeming to form a blurry picture. The War Angel failed, and it seemed that he himself did not know how to explain it.

Klein, in short, said vaguely:

"He is a fellow countryman of the Lord."

"I'm afraid he won't dare to say it, so I'll tell you - there are less than 30,000 people left in the Eastern Continent now."

The atmosphere between the three of them became heavy for a moment.

"...Compared to the Eastern Continent in our memories, the current Eastern Continent indeed has fewer people. No, it is already inaccessible."

Hermes didn't seem to be too affected by these words. He looked into the distance, which happened to be in the direction of Moon City, and explained: "I can see it, it happens to be night now... I can see, the Eastern Continent

There are only tens of thousands of dreams belonging to living people."

Klein explained promptly.

"The people of the Eastern Continent have spent all their strength to survive. The situation in the two cities has improved. Coupled with finding food and getting sunshine, the population should increase slightly."

After all, he has been living with the people of the God-Forsaken Land for about a year, and he knows more about the things here than Medici and Hermes.
