After hearing the Chief's words, "Shepherd" Lovia immediately asked her own question:
"Like the two 'Silver Knights' at the main gate of the Royal Court, they will not actively attack targets outside their range?"
Colin Iliad nodded slightly and said:
"At least that's what's happening right now."
They were all close to the exit, but the guards outside did not react.
This means that the other party does not possess real wisdom and spirituality, but is most likely just something that has come to life.
Without waiting for other team members to speak, Demon Hunter Colin continued:
"Huge, heavy..."
After obtaining the relevant intelligence, the people of Silver City tacitly divided into groups. One team kept a distance from the exit, but faced the gate. They were protected by the "Shepherd" Elder Lovia as bait to attract the guards. The other team received the corresponding holy oils from the chief and smeared them on the ground at the exit. Haim, who was holding the "Darkless Cross", and Colin, the "Demon Hunter", each stood on one side of the gate and used the stone pillars to cover themselves.
Then, Colin Iliad put a straight sword back into his back, took out a small metal bottle, and drank the liquid inside.
His aura quickly faded and was no longer noticeable. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to detect his presence at all.
This is another arrangement, with Heinm in the light and the "demon hunter" in the dark.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the "shepherd" Lovia stretched out her right hand and grabbed out of thin air.
Her long silver-gray hair was dyed dark blue at this moment.
The howling wind stirred up the crowd, and the gray-blue door opened backwards with a clang.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps was heard, so heavy that the whole hall shook.
A "giant" holding a halberd and covered in iron armor ran towards the hall.
The exposed part of it had no flesh or blood at all, and seemed to be made of metal. Behind the black mask was a ball of deep red light.
If it didn't move and stood there, it would be no different from a statue.
Push! Push! Push!
The shaking of the hall became more and more obvious. The giant statue suddenly threw the halberd in its hand, causing it to stir up a hurricane and rush towards Derrick and others who were facing the door.
Bang!
The halberd hit an invisible barrier, and illusory ripples spread rapidly.
In front of the "Shepherd" Lovia, an illusory figure wearing silver full body armor appeared at some point, and it inserted the giant sword in its hand into the gap in the floor.
Push! Push! Push!
The giant statue ran into the hall without stopping.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound under its feet, and its huge body suddenly leaned back.
It stepped on the spot where the holy oil was anointed.
As the giant statue slipped, the deep red light in its eyes suddenly became brighter, and an invisible force emerged and supported it.
Suddenly, a blazing white light burst out from the "No Dark Cross" and accurately hit the giant statue's one eye.
The deep red color suddenly dimmed.
Demon Hunter Colin leaped up, holding the same straight sword with both hands, and stabbed down fiercely like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
The morning light was highlighted and converged on the straight sword, making it look extremely huge, even taller than Colin Iliad.
With a "pu" sound, the clean straight sword pierced into the gap in the giant statue's visor and pierced into its eye.
The surging morning light rushed in.
Colin Iliad exerted downward force with both hands holding the hilt of the sword, drew out the straight sword as the giant statue fell to the ground with a thud, and leaped to the side.
The giant statue lay at the door, and cracking sounds continued to come from its body, and finally all movement stopped.
Demon Hunter Colin didn't look at it again. He turned and looked outside the door. After a few seconds, he said:
"There are no other guards for now, so we can deal with this statue."
Derrick and the others quickly surrounded it and skillfully searched for materials on the giant statue.
Klein watched the entire battle from above the gray fog, and was deeply impressed by the tacit cooperation of the people in Silver City.
According to his observation, the giant statue was made of some unknown metal and its surface was covered with armor with amazing defensive power. It could completely ignore most attacks in battle and was very difficult to deal with.
Moreover, this giant statue itself has no "soul", that is to say, it is immune to the extraordinary abilities in the corresponding fields, such as "manipulating the spirit line", "hypnosis", "frenzy" and "nightmare". It is simply a walking fortress, which makes people suspect that it is the work of the "Harvest Goddess".
Klein asked himself, if it were him, with the core ability of the "Trickster" unable to take effect, and he could only rely on the abilities of the two puppets to deal with the giant statue, he didn't know how the battle would develop.
The "distortion" and "chaos" of the "Fallen Count" might have miraculous effects, but they might not be resolved as quickly as the Silver City Exploration Team... A team of Beyonders that work well together can really produce the effect of "1 plus 1 is greater than 2". Well, the Chief's grasp of timing and determination in attacking are also key... Klein nodded slightly, with a burst of appreciation in his heart.
If this was really a live broadcast, he might not be able to resist giving a reward at this moment.
Of course, it’s probably just a thought.
After taking away the most valuable things from the giant statue, the Silver City Exploration Team continued forward, along the corridor outside, and entered another hall.
In this way, they shuttled back and forth between the palaces, towers and different corridors and stairs, trying to find more clues and the entrance to the "sea" described by the outsider Little Jack.
Regardless of whether they believed the little boy's words or not, they all unconsciously hoped that there would be a deep blue sea behind the "Giant King's Court". On the other side of the sea, there was a country where humans lived and multiplied. There, there were no monsters hidden in the depths of darkness, the sun rose and set normally, lightning only appeared before it rained, and people harvested all kinds of food.
During this process, the Silver City exploration team encountered not many enemies. Most of them were animated statues, and a small number were evil spirits created by the combination of residual emotions and dusk power. The latter had almost no ability to resist the "Darkless Cross".
“This is normal…” Klein the Fool nodded slightly above the gray fog, accepting the current situation. “After the Giant King fell, this place belonged to the Ancient Sun God. It is unlikely that there are a large number of giants and magical items left here… When the Angel Kings conspired here, they would definitely eliminate unnecessary troubles in advance… When the Ancient Sun God is eaten, no one will know who this place belongs to, or it may be abandoned…
"In short, it is foreseeable that there won't be too many demigods and items. Well, if there wasn't the 'Darkless Cross', those evil spirits would be very troublesome. The Silver City exploration team wouldn't have been so smooth and wouldn't have advanced to the current level unless there was an angel leading the team or activating a '0' level seal..."
When the Darkless Cross returned to Derrick's hands, the Silver City exploration team was very close to the tallest building in the Giant King's Court.
The dusk light here was very strong, as if it came from that palace.
"After exiting this hall, we should be at the side of the Giant King's residence." Demon Hunter Colin identified the location and direction and pointed forward.
Elder Shepherd Lovia nodded, and her expression finally showed some irrepressible hope.
Derrick's heart beat faster and he could no longer control his excitement. Then, he was "comforted" by Antirna.
After adjusting their mood, the people from Silver City entered the hall in front and saw something that looked like oil paintings hanging on both sides.
These "oil paintings" depict different giants, some of whom are holding bone flutes, some are holding wind chimes, and some are holding lyres that match their height.
With the arrival of the Silver City exploration team, the giants in the oil painting suddenly came to life. They played bone flutes, shook wind chimes, and plucked strings, playing a beautiful piece of music together.
The evening light in the hall grew a little brighter, and portions of food appeared on the long tables around. They were glowing with a mouth-watering sheen and emitting an extremely alluring aroma.
Roasted chicken... roasted goose... fish coated with honey... Is this the dinner of the Giant King's Court? But aren't those chickens, geese, sheep, and fish too big... the masterpiece of the Harvest Goddess? Klein took a quick look and confirmed that the food that appeared was an illusion. After all, the Giant King's Court had long run out of food, and lacked people who could imagine or create.
"This, is this normal food?" Haim, holding the "Thor's Roar", stared at one of the long tables with his eyes wide open, his Adam's apple moving up and down.
“Maybe.” Derrick sniffed and couldn’t help swallowing.
Apart from the black-faced grass, they had never seen normal food. The meat of those monsters came in different colors when roasted, but all tasted equally bad and could even cause poisoning.
Demon Hunter Colin stared for a few seconds, then sighed and said:
"They are all fake, don't touch them, otherwise there may be unnecessary accidents."
The people in Silver City, except Luo Weiya, withdrew their gazes with difficulty and followed the chief all the way to the exit of the hall.
After some scrutiny, Colin Iliad plunged his swords into the ground and reached out to push open the heavy door.
A gap then appeared, and a richer orange-red light shone in.
As the gap grew larger, a palace towering into the clouds gradually became clear.
Then, everyone in Silver City heard a crashing sound.
At this time, Colin drew out a straight sword and suppressed the restlessness in the team members' hearts.
He immediately drew out another straight sword and walked out of the hall slowly. Derrick and the others followed cautiously.
After being thoroughly bathed in the dusk, they simultaneously looked to the left, where there was a railing made of a row of stone pillars.
Outside the railing was a diffuse orange-red cloud, and beyond the cloud was a gently surging expanse of deep blue that seemed to have no end and made a rustling sound.
No one needed to explain. The members of the Silver City Exploration Team simultaneously remembered the records in the books and Little Jack's description, and a term flashed through their minds:
"The sea".
