Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

"The exploration continues."

Colin said to the other team members, then turned to look at Derrick and said in a deep voice:

"Next, you follow me"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief." Derrick agreed without hesitation.

The next exploration was no different from the previous ones, until they arrived again at the hall with the altar and found the little boy with yellow hair who called himself Jack.

Derrick looked at Chief Colin beside him and reminded him.

"Your Excellency, we always restart after you kill the little boy named Jack."

"Well, what else do you know?" Colin nodded slightly and asked.

"It came from the outside world. I don't know more information. I didn't ask about it a few times before. It turned into a monster and attacked us, and was then killed by the chief."

Derrick shook his head slightly.

The little boy huddled in the shadows was half-surrounded by the members of the Silver City exploration team, who kept a safe distance from him.

The little boy looked at everyone with eager eyes and kept saying: "Help me, help me."

Chief Colin nodded invisibly, got closer and said:

"What's your name?"

"My name is Jack."

"How should I save you?"

The little boy suddenly showed an excited look and said:

"Save me, save me, take me home! Take me home!"

"Where is your home?" Colin continued to ask in a deep voice.

The little boy weakly raised his hand and said, "My home is in Port Enmat."

Port Enmat? Mr. Hanged Man has not mentioned it, but judging from the word port, it should be the outside world, perhaps the Loen Kingdom where Miss Justice and the others are located, Derrick guessed with joy in his heart.

The "Enmatt Port" mentioned by the little boy made Colin see the dawn of the new world, which made him forget other things for a moment and immediately asked:

"How did you get here?"

The little boy Jack showed a recalling expression and slowly narrated:

"My father and I took a boat, met up with his companions, continued on the boat, and after a big, big storm, the rest of us landed on land."

"We followed the direction of the Lord's eyes and walked all the way here."

Follow the direction the Lord is looking at? The eyes of Chief Colin and others fell on the statue on the altar simultaneously, trying to figure out where it was looking.

As long as we follow the opposite direction of sight, we can find the seaside and the place where they landed. Chief Colin has begun to draw a rough map in his mind.

That direction is, the Giant King's Court! Chief Colin quickly found their landing point on the route traced by the little boy based on his own memory.

Is there a road leading to the seaside behind the Giant King's Court? On the other side of the sea, there is the kingdom of mankind.

"I am so hungry"

"So hungry."

The little boy Jack suddenly began to murmur abnormally. The clothes on his chest and abdomen were stained dark red, as if liquid was slowly seeping out.

While muttering, he opened his clothes, revealing his naked chest and abdomen.

On it are two eyes, a nose and a mouth!

It was like a face made up of parts belonging to three different people.

That face was gentle and indifferent, making Derrick feel familiar inexplicably.

He frowned and thought for two seconds, and soon recalled the source of his familiarity:

This face is that of the angel in the mural, the silver-haired angel with his feet on the circulating river!

Before Chief Colin took action, he immediately lowered his voice and reminded:

"Your Excellency, the human face on his chest is very similar to the angel on the mural I just destroyed. I suspect that the angel is Ouroleus, the angel of fate beside the true Creator!"

Chief Colin stopped the urge to kill the little boy immediately. He looked deeply at Derrick, which made his scalp tingle. He wondered if he had said something wrong and caused the chief's misunderstanding.

The next moment, Colin was half-kneeling and inserted the straight sword in his hand into the ground. An invisible wall of air blocked the little boy from flying towards him.

Derrick saw the little boy's body emit a mixture of black and red light as before. This light eroded the wall of air that blocked him.

Colin released his grip on the straight sword, and while slowly standing up, he pulled out another straight sword on his back with his backhand, and smeared it with golden grease that looked like sunlight.

Seeing Colin's movements, the little boy moved more violently, as if he was aware of the dangerous beast making its final struggle.

Colin pulled out the long sword stuck on the ground, leaving a blurry figure on the spot.

The next moment, golden and silver lights shone, illuminating the entire underground hall. After the little boy Jack let out a shrill scream, all the light quickly disappeared, and darkness enveloped the entire altar again.

The little boy collapsed on the ground, and the human face between his chest and abdomen had disappeared, leaving only a hole where the squirming internal organs could be seen.

A few meters away, Chief Colin was squatting on the ground, holding a straight sword in each hand.

In front of him, there was a torn human face.

The organs on this human face twitched as if struck by lightning, then quickly stopped and decayed rapidly.

At this moment, Derrick felt that there was an invisible, water wall-like barrier protruding around him, and then it shattered silently.

He had the feeling that he had left the fast-flowing river and returned to the shore.

Derrick was overjoyed, finally relieved that he was finally out of the cycle of fate.

He looked sideways and saw that the other members of the exploration team did not show anything unusual.

Maybe they have to return to Silver City so that they can realize that they have lost a period of their lives due to the wrong date. Derrick thought silently.

"Did you just say that the True Creator has an angel of fate named Ouroleus beside him?"

Chief Colin put away the straight sword he held in both hands at some point, walked to Derrick and asked in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Derrick was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why the chief suddenly asked this, but he still nodded honestly and said:

"Yes, this is what a party member reminded me after knowing what happened to me."

"He said Ourolius liked to draw. Maybe I can find some clues in the murals."

"So you just chopped down the mural?"

Chief Colin glanced at Derrick with complicated eyes, and then continued:

"Don't be so reckless next time. You should discuss it with me in advance. Even without the memory of previous explorations, my experience is enough for me to make the right judgment."

"I understand, Your Excellency, Chief. Derrick nodded slightly with excitement. He heard some feelings of care and trust in the Chief's words.

Colin did not look at Derrick's current expression. He stared solemnly at the statue of the true Creator on the altar.

After staring for a long time, he slowly said:

"In the records of Silver City, when the 'Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God' looked at the world, He was surrounded by many angels. Among them, the leader of all angels, the King of Angels who is closest to the throne, has a total of eight Bit."

"Among them, there are two angel kings whose titles are Angel of Time and Angel of Destiny."

"Angel of Destiny?" Derrick was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why the chief looked at him so strangely before, as if he had an epiphany.

The chief's deep voice came to his ears:

"Yes, Angel of Destiny, 'Tail-Eater' Ouroleus!"

The angel of destiny betrayed the Lord? Or is the true Creator the Lord who has lost many of his powers? .No, it’s impossible, the true creator is an evil god.

Derrick subconsciously rejected the speculation that came to his mind. It was the last thing he wanted to believe, and it was even harder to accept than the Lord abandoning them.

Chief Colin took a deep breath, retracted his gaze from the statue of the True Creator, and said in a calm voice:

"Next time, when you attend a party, ask the member who told you the information about the Angel of Destiny for relevant information. You can even ask the person who established contact with you. If you want to pay, you can come to me directly. .”

"I understand, Your Excellency."

Backlund, Minsk Street, Jowood District.

Squeak! The door to Renekton's study was pushed open, and Bugs Bunny led a strange-looking Emlyn in.

Renekton, who was forced to end his communication with Sasril, looked at the vampire opposite him with an unhappy expression and said:

"How do you know my address?"

Emlyn found a chair and sat down in a familiar manner, then raised his head slightly and said with a somewhat arrogant expression:

"Shouldn't you care what I'm doing to you?"

"Also, you have so many animals and various spirits in your home. Do you want to take the path of our vampire family?"

"What, you want to contribute the characteristics of an animal tamer to me?"

Renekton glanced at the somewhat arrogant vampire Emlyn and said.

"Ahem." Emlyn's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly and changed the subject:

"I want to ask you, based on your understanding of the 'Fool', is he really a friendly existence?"

"You haven't made up your mind yet!"

Renekton sighed aloud, leaned back on the back of his chair, and chuckled:

"The revelation of your ancestor obviously regards him as the predetermined ally, and you are the middleman, oh no, the middle ghost."

"It's a noble vampire!" Emlyn corrected him angrily, and then continued the topic with a tone that couldn't hide his excitement and trepidation:

"You mean, I bear the important responsibility of establishing a secret alliance between the ancestor and the Fool!"

After saying this, Emlyn fell silent, as if he was lost in thought and fell into a new round of entanglement and self-strategy.

But looking at his appearance, he is not far from praying to the Fool.
