For some reason, it got very dark after the train arrived at Ekhatton, even though it was only four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ahes carried the box and looked around. Everyone was wearing black.
"What the hell is this place?" Ahs couldn't help but said.
The small country of Ekhatun was originally a colony of Ypres. Of course, it has now become a colony of Helworth. However, their currency has been karks from a long time ago. This is good, as it saves the step of exchanging money.
Already.
"I want to find a place to rest." Lucia leaned on Ahes's back and said, "There is a tourist hotel just ahead, so go there."
After the two arrived at the hotel and booked a room, Ahes asked Lucia to go up first with her luggage.
What I want to do most now is to try the [Book of Noble Phantasms].
Walking on the street, Ahes wanted to find an open space. He raised his head and took a look. Only then did Ahes realize that there was a layer of dark clouds covering the sky in Ekhtun. This was probably because it was already dark even though it was only four o'clock.
The reason is, not only that, the land of Ekhtun is also black, as if it had been burned by fire.
"I think they must like Black Forest cakes here." Ahes thought to himself as he looked at the black buildings on the street and the pedestrians in black clothes.
Fortunately, my clothes are also black, otherwise I would have looked out of place.
While walking, Ahes noticed many people gathered in front of a fire. What was interesting was that there seemed to be something similar to a searchlight under the fire. In short, the color of the fire was black and green, like black fog.
Like the mist summoned by the book, in front of the fire, a man in a black robe was saying something:
"The sun has gone out, and our carnival begins now,
The yin people are on the road, the living are reveling in front of the fire,
The fetters of the past are like shackles that bind me,
The world after death is like the rolling clouds of evil water,
Looking up at the sky, the souls of death are all over the sky,
Looking down at the earth, the other shore flowers are in full bloom,
Walk with me, and you will never grow old or sick again.
Walk with me and sing the dirge of death.”
The man seemed to be singing some kind of hymn, but in Ahs's eyes it looked like a gathering of a cult, just like the last time he saw Leviathan's followers going crazy on the beach in Bilkost.
The last experience made Ahs know that the gods or demons they believe in are most likely real, so not disturbing them and walking away silently is the best choice.
Finally arriving at a sparsely populated place, Ahes sat on the ground and summoned the Book of Noble Phantasms and the Book of Greed.
"I have obtained another high-level watch book in a short period of time. It really belongs to you. It seems that you can live well without the Book of Ashes and the Book of Eternal Life." The Lord of Greed said while looking at the Book of Noble Phantasms.
"Come on, if I had those two copies, I wouldn't have to bother downloading a copy."
"What does downloading a copy mean?"
"...You just need to understand that you just need to participate in the trial." Ahes said, "Okay, tell me what the Noble Phantasm Book does."
"Just like its name, the Lord of Noble Phantasms used the lives and bodies of humans or other God Lords to forge many Noble Phantasms before becoming a Contract Book. Although I don't know how many of them are left to be used after becoming a Contract Book.
They should all be cold weapons with other functions. You can extract the Noble Phantasm from the book based on your own imagination or think about what functions you want. If it is the original Noble Phantasm owner, no matter what kind of Noble Phantasm you want.
He should be able to give it to you, but I don't know exactly how far this contract can go."
"What does imagination mean?"
"For example, if you want a sword that can kill crocodiles, you can really take out a sword that can kill crocodiles, or if you want an armor that can withstand bullets, you can really take out a
Armor that can stop bullets, it's that simple." The Lord of Greed said.
"Then if I want a prop that can destroy the world, can I do it?"
"Of course, but I'm talking about the Lord of the Noble Phantasm, not this book." The Lord of Greed replied, "I'll go back if there's no problem. One of your contractors seems to be a little hungry."
"ah?"
Before Ahes could say anything, the Lord of Greed disappeared and was replaced by a fat catfish and toad monster.
"Mr. Ahes, I think you haven't forgotten the contract between us." The Lord of Gluttony said, patting his disgusting stomach.
"Of course I haven't, but I haven't used your ability until now."
"Although not, I'm hungry. The contract between the two of us doesn't say that you will only give me food if you use my power, right?"
"...I'm so sorry. I want you to wait a little longer. I don't think this shabby place has the ingredients to make delicious food." He glanced at the dark and sloppy Ikhatun, Ahes.
He shook his head and said.
"It's really disappointing, Mr. Ahes. In that case, just take me to any restaurant here." The Lord of Gluttony said with a smile, showing his crooked fangs.
"I don't think the food here is to your liking." Ahes said, thinking of how Peter had smashed all the delicacies from all over the world when gluttony controlled him.
"You still don't understand, Mr. Ahs, what I'm looking for is not the food, but the cook who makes the food." The Lord of Gluttony came closer and said, for some reason, even though it looks disgusting, and Greedy also said that Gluttony has
It had a foul smell, but what Ahes smelled was indeed a strange fragrance.
"...I understand." Ahes does not take the lives of ordinary people so seriously. For himself, satisfying this big monster is the top priority.
"But you can't just walk to the street like this. The cook will run away if he doesn't see anyone."
"No, only you can see my current appearance, Mr. Ahes. Unless I want to show up, others can't see it. The same goes for the Greedy guy. Whether he shows up before others is entirely up to him.
Feeling."
Is that so? In that case, wouldn't it be okay to summon the Lord of Greed to give him some advice during the battle? The Lord of Greed didn't say anything about such an important thing. What a bad guy.
