On the Poseidon, Liaval, Candice and other members of the Silver City Pathfinder Team sat on chairs that didn't quite fit them, watching the "dwarves" coming and going around them with caution.
Of course, they all knew that these should be normal humans. After all, they all knew that their exaggerated heights were caused by the potion. But they still felt that the people on this ship were too short, including the Lord Danitz who claimed to be a divine messenger. You know, in the City of Silver, except for young children, the average height of residents who had entered the growth stage and had not yet been promoted to Sequence 6 was over 1.8 meters, and there were many extraordinary people at Sequence 9 who had reached more than two meters.
The slight rocking of the ship made these "half-giants" feel more or less uncomfortable, but their strong physique helped them quickly overcome this effect. The contrast between the boundless sea outside the window and the lonely ship made them feel uncontrollable uneasiness, fear and tension, as if they were taking part in an exploration mission for the first time and were surrounded by monsters hidden in the darkness that could attack them at any time.
At this moment, Danitz entered the room that was converted from a restaurant and smiled at the tall people who were cautious, sitting stiffly, and wearing strange clothes:
"Your food is ready, and you can enjoy it.
“By the way, don’t forget the precautions I just told you, this sea area is very dangerous.
"No need to get up, just sit down."
Danitz saw that the young elder who called himself Derrick and several "half-giants" wanted to stand up and talk to him in the most polite manner, so he quickly lowered his hands to stop their uncivilized behavior.
If I were this tall, I would have already started to mock the people around me... Danitz muttered, clapped his hands, and signaled the crew to bring in the food.
A strong aroma immediately penetrated the noses of Derrick and other residents of Silver City. It was the familiar smell of roasted meat and mushrooms, but it also had an indescribable, rather strange, and slightly pungent smell.
The smell was so tempting that it made Liaval, Candice and others salivate wildly and their stomachs were awakened.
"Disi-style barbecue." Danitz pointed at a crew member who came in from the door.
The crew member was carrying a large steel plate with pieces of roasted meat oozing with fat and slightly golden in color, sprinkled evenly with fennel, basil and other spices.
"Steak, fried meat and fish, white bread, seafood soup, light beer..." Danitz introduced them one by one, and finally said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about anything. You can eat as much as you want. We have sufficient food reserves."
After saying that, he glanced at the "half-giants" who seemed to want to stand up, and then left the room.
Candice, who had neat short hair, took her eyes off the food with difficulty, swallowed her saliva and said:
"Elder Derrick, what should we do now?"
Although Derrick believed that Mr. Fool's messenger would not murder him and others, he still habitually gave a very cautious opinion:
“Divide into two groups, one group will wait for the next meal, and one group will try it now.”
"Okay, Elder Derrick." Candice stood up suddenly and said, "I apply to join the trial group!"
The list of ten people was quickly gathered. Candice and Liaval walked to the long table against the wall at the same time and took a piece of the most tempting so-called Desi barbecue each in tacit understanding.
After taking a bite, the rich juice, the aroma mixed in the texture and the pure meatiness formed a complex and layered experience in their mouths, making them chew it twice and then they couldn't wait to swallow the food into their stomachs so that they could take the next bite.
This was many times more delicious than the meat mushrooms they had eaten before.
Before they knew it, these ten Silver City residents had eaten so much that their eyes were filled with tears and their vision was blurred.
On the deck, Danitz looked out at the safe channel in the God War Ruins and considered how to accommodate these followers of Mr. Fool.
Suddenly, a sailor ran over and gasped:
"Lord God's Messenger, they have finished eating. I hope they can have some more!"
...Where did these guys come from? Danitz was stunned and said:
"Prepare one more for each of them."
Seeing that the sailor was about to turn around, Danitz hurriedly added:
"Starting tomorrow, we'll organize the crew to go fishing!"
…………
In the Sonia Sea, on an island with no human beings.
Klein initially adapted to the current situation, restrained his spirituality, and planned to "teleport" back to Backlund to summon the "magic mirror" Arrodes to ask some questions.
He was in no rush to get the residents of Moon City to the outside world. He planned to wait until Danitz had settled the Silver City vanguard and had enough experience before doing this. Anyway, the way out of the "God-forsaken Land" had been opened. He could use the method of responding to prayers and relying on the power of the "Star Staff" to directly transfer the entire Moon City out.
Of course, if the door closes again, Klein also has a way, which is to transfer the residents of Moon City to the Giant King's residence and let them open the door themselves - without the first "blasphemous slate" and the "Dark Angel" evil spirit, ordinary extraordinary people can push open the door.
As for whether the "True Creator" would interfere or block him, Klein did not consider it, because the Sequence 0 True God could do so now, and he was unwilling and unable to stop it.
In addition, Klein believed that the current focus of the True Creator was not on this aspect. His most urgent task was to capture Amon and retrieve the first Blasphemous Slate.
“Strictly speaking, this is a family ethics drama…” Klein complained in his mind, grabbed the “Creeping Hunger” from the air, and put this sealed object that had been with him for a long time on his left palm.
His body quickly became transparent and disappeared on the spot.
In the spiritual world with rich and overlapping blocks of color, Klein quickly shuttled through a series of indescribable figures, approaching the coordinates representing Backlund.
Suddenly, he stopped, standing in the chaotic void where there was no distinction between up and down, left and right, front and back, and cast his gaze towards the seven pure lights of different colors occupying the highest point of the spiritual world.
"Before, due to my low sequence, I didn't dare to run around in the spirit world. I didn't try to visit the Seven Lights who had some good intentions towards me. Now it seems that I can... They are the embodiment of various knowledge, and they have lived in the spirit world for who knows how many years. Maybe they know a lot of secrets..." Klein had just turned these thoughts around when a light suddenly rose in front of him, and an old man in an orange robe appeared.
The old man was plump, had a short white beard, and looked quite kind.
He glanced at Klein, smiled and nodded:
"Your Highness, please allow me to introduce myself. You should remember me. I am 'Orange Light' Hilarion."
You were very thin the last time I saw you... Klein asked with a smile while complaining inwardly:
"You seem to have anticipated that I would like to visit you?"
Hilarion did not hide anything and smiled frankly:
"The spirit world itself is a woven together of various information, some of which comes from the past, some from the present, and some foreshadowing certain futures. Whether it is divination or prophecy, most methods actually use the spirit world, and only secondarily rely on peeping into fate."
What this "Orange Light" meant was that since Klein was in the spirit world, had the idea of visiting, and was ready to put it into practice, there would inevitably be corresponding information generated, allowing the Seven Lights that controlled the spirit world to some extent to sense it and make predictions.
Klein was not surprised at all. He nodded slightly and said:
"Besides you, who else wants to see me?"
He originally planned to use a honorific, but considering Nanako's attitude and "Jukou" addressing him, he gave up the idea in order to maintain his status as the agent of "Source Castle".
"Orange Light" Hilarion immediately laughed and said:
"I want to, I want to, Your Highness, do you mind?"
Klein shook his head and responded politely:
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
As soon as he finished speaking, rays of light of different colors rose up around Hilarion, transforming into different images of old men.
“Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you.” After seeing Klein nod, Orange Light pointed at an extremely majestic old man wearing a bright red robe and said, “He is Red Light Al Moria.”
The one who had answered my question before... Klein immediately smiled, releasing his gratitude and friendliness.
Hilarion then introduced the "Yellow Light" Venitan, the "Blue Light" Kuthumi, the "Green Light" Serapis, the "Indigo Light" Jesus, and the "Purple Light" Saint Germain (Note 1).
“Yellow Light” Venitan… Is this the one who predicted the end of the world for the ancestors of the Abraham family? Klein glanced at the thin old man in a lemon yellow robe and a long white beard, and said with a smile:
"Then let's sit down and talk."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand.
The surrounding area was suddenly lit up with a little dark red light, coming from a fireplace burning high-quality charcoal.
The flames then illuminated an easy chair, the gray-yellow carpet, the cabinets, the sofa, the coffee table, the plaster statues, the white-glazed porcelain teacups, and other things, outlining a typical, warm Backlund-style living room.
“Please take a seat.” Klein faced Qi Guang and pointed at the sofa and high-back chairs with a smile.
After the seven lights were seated, Klein sat in the armchair, picked up the teacup, and said naturally:
“To be honest, I have always wanted to visit the seven of you, but I never found the opportunity. Now I finally realized this wish.”
"This is also our wish." "Ju Guang" seemed to be the most cheerful and outgoing one among the seven lights, and immediately responded on behalf of all his companions.
Hmm, it feels like I've fulfilled someone else's wish... Klein was delighted and asked tentatively:
"Seven of you, what do you know about the starry sky or the Old Ones and the Outer Gods?"
Indigo Jesus, who looked relatively young and was wearing a linen robe, answered with a serious expression:
"Your Highness, the Old Ones currently spying on our world include 'Fallen Mother Goddess', 'Mother Tree of Desire', 'Son of Chaos', 'Primal Hunger', 'Ring of Fate', 'Superstar Overlord', 'Eternal Whispering', 'Decadent King', 'High-Dimensional Overlooker'..."
...Is this too much? Klein was a little stunned after hearing this.
