I have to say that as the chief of Silver City, Colin Iliad is really sharp.
Even without any memory, just because he confirmed that the person on the mural was the Angel of Destiny, he guessed the possibility of them entering the cycle.
"Step into a river that cannot be left, connected end to end? What do you mean?" Derrick was a little confused. Compared with the experienced and well-informed chief, he had not yet opened the gray fog game and restored all the loop memories.
Without a word from the chief, I would not have thought of the possibility of a cycle of fate.
"What I mean is that we may have stepped into a certain cycle." Colin Iliad explained, his voice was not loud enough that only Derrick next to him could hear it.
He stared at the river in the mural, slightly raising the straight sword in his hand, but finally put it down again, doing nothing.
Even if he had some guesses, Colin Iliad was not sure that they had entered the cycle, nor was he sure that this mural was the key, so after thinking about it, he decided to take a look first.
So they continued to explore, and after walking through a series of broken walls, they came to a hall.
With just one glance, Derrick saw the altar in the hall, which made him immediately alert. He clenched the Darkless Cross in his hand and looked around.
"What is your relationship with the Judgment Angel?"
Suddenly, Derrick heard a voice ask.
Derrick was suddenly startled when he saw the black shadow above the altar squirming, and finally condensed into a blurry shadow.
It should be a shadow, but it has a human-like figure. It is not thin, but very three-dimensional. Derrick cannot see the shadow's facial features, or maybe there is no such thing as a shadow. He can only tell that this shadow seems to be wearing
The details of the robe and clothes cannot be seen clearly, but Derrick feels that if this is real, the clothes should be very gorgeous.
There is also a little boy who has fallen asleep on the shadow's hand. He is not very old, probably only about ten years old.
Derrick clenched the Darkless Cross in his hand and did not rush to attack. He subconsciously glanced at the chief next to him, and when he saw that the chief seemed to be paying attention to the shadow while paying attention to him, he immediately pursed his lips.
Derrick thought about it in his heart, and then replied: "I probably have nothing to do with the Judgment Angel, but this is, this is what He gave me."
Mr. Chariot has a close relationship with the Judgment Angel, and the Dark Cross was given to him by Chariot, so I am not lying... Derrick added in his heart.
Hearing Derrick's words, Shadow did not answer. Derrick felt that the other person seemed to be looking at him, but it seemed that he was not.
After a long time, Shadow spoke again: "Which city-state are you from?"
Derrick glanced at the chief, saw the other person nodded slightly, and replied honestly: "We are from Silver City."
"Silver City...the city that originally believed in giants?" Shadow seemed to smile, but then didn't seem to. He then asked: "Are you the only ones in this darkness?"
"Uh..." Derrick didn't know how to answer for a while. Colin Iliad next to him said at this time: "No other living person has ever been found in Silver City, but we are not sure about this darkness.
Are there any other survivors?"
"Is that so..." Shadow looked at Colin Iliad and asked, "How long have you been holding on in the darkness?"
"Two thousand five hundred and eighty-two years." Colin Iliad accurately reported a number.
"It's been so long..." Shadow seemed to sigh, but didn't seem to.
"Do you still believe in the Creator?"
he asked.
Derrick felt guilty almost subconsciously, while Colin Iliad said firmly: "Yes."
Gu Yue
The shadow's gaze seemed to fall on Derrick. At this moment, Derrick felt like he was being seen through from the inside out.
But Shadow didn't say anything in the end. He just smiled, gestured to Derrick and the others to the little boy who was sleeping next to him, and said:
"This child comes from the outside world that is not shrouded in darkness. Take him away. This is not a suitable place for survival. However, he has been contaminated by the power of Ourolos. If not dealt with properly, you will probably continue the cycle."
The outside world without darkness! Cycle!
Whether it was Colin Iliad, Derrick, or other members of the exploration team, they were all shocked at this moment.
They looked at each other, and finally Colin Iliad tentatively walked to the shadow, ahead of the little boy.
During this process, the shadow just watched quietly. It was not until Colin Iliad carried the little boy back to his original position that he spoke again:
"If you want to leave this place, you can go find where the Giant King's Court is. The door is there, but I don't recommend that you go now. The door hasn't been opened yet. Use your strength to get there.
, probably just to die."
"Thank you for your information, Your Excellency." Colin Iliad, who was originally planning to check what was wrong with the little boy, paused. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, anyone could see that he was not at peace in his heart.
"No need to thank me." Shadow shook his head calmly and said in a calm voice: "This is just a small thank you for waking me up."
He looked at Derrick again, or rather at the Darkless Cross in Derrick's hand, and after a long time he asked, "Is he doing well?"
Derrick was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the question should be from the Judgment Angel. After thinking about it, he replied: "I'm not sure...but I can ask for you."
Chariot and the Angel of Judgment are closely related, so it is perfectly okay to ask Chariot this question.
As soon as he said this, the other members of the exploration team looked at Derrick strangely.
If they had not reacted just now because they were too shocked, now both of them have come to their senses.
Derrick...is he establishing contact with a secret existence called the Judgment Angel?
Only Colin Iliad did not show any surprise and watched this scene quietly.
"Then ask Him for me..." Shadow seemed not surprised that Derrick was able to contact the Judgment Angel, and said calmly.
"Okay, I will." Derrick nodded. He looked at the shadow, and after thinking about it, he boldly asked: "Well, Your Excellency, can you tell me your name? I have to tell His Highness the Judgment Angel.
, who wants to know His status."
The shadow was silent for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "I am just a shadow, a residual echo, an illusory ghost that was forced to stay..."
"My mission has ended long ago, my existence has long been meaningless, and who I am has long been unimportant."
He looked at Derrick, smiled at the confused look in his eyes, and said:
"As for the name, let's call her Xiao An."
"Ah?" Derrick was stunned. At this moment, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
What Xiao An? Is this the name that the person in front of me, who looks very powerful at first glance, should have?
