Chapter 81 Unknown Fate 7
The encounter between Piantiao and Rowena was not shown in the comics, so Chu Cheng naturally had no way of knowing it, but Rowena's appearance itself was enough to surprise Chu Cheng. After all, Chu Cheng had always been fighting alone as Neropo, and the nominal apostle had only met once a thousand years ago. Even Piantiao, who was disguised as a black eagle, said that he had not seen the apostle of Artaco for a long time.
Chu Cheng thought this was a setting in the comics and needed to be triggered by Carl, but Rowena's appearance proved that this was not the case. Although Chu Cheng did not know Rowena's race, after all, for a cheating player like him who jumped in time, the time was only a few days, and he should not be unable to react to such a conspicuous hair color.
And since Rowena can live to this day and even found Carl, it is enough to prove her ability, not to mention that Chu Cheng does not believe that Rowena has no contact with other apostles. No matter what, even if the seniority is ranked, in the entire Wanjie Continent, Rowena can be regarded as a list. After all, there are not many great apostles who have been with the Lord God and passed through the dusk of the gods and are still alive.
But even someone like Rowena, neither the Golden Hat nor the Black Eagle mentioned it. It is likely that they did not hide it intentionally, but they really did not know where Rowena was. Similarly, the only great apostles who can protect so many apostles are Rowena's level. In other words, if we find Rowena's nest, we will also find the last remnants of Nerobo.
Chu Cheng now has two directions to go. Either go to Ferog first, push Carl to the altar first, and pull him into his own team, but this is definitely not easy to do. After all, his image in the protagonist team can't be said to be pure and innocent, at least he is a heinous person. But if he doesn't take this road, Chu Cheng can only go to Rowena to find out the whereabouts, but Rowena is likely to be mixed with Carl and his team. In other words, these two directions actually have different paths to the same destination, and the final destination is to meet the protagonist team. The difference is whether the straight line between the two points is the shortest, or the curved line saves the country.
But compared to these two things, for Afro, going to see Ferog is more important than anything else. So, Chu Cheng and Afro went directly to Ferog. But obviously this is not an easy thing, at least not for Afro.
As the patron god of Ferrog, once he enters Ferrog, it will surely cause resonance in the entire continent. Let alone hiding Aphro, this is directly exposed under the nose, how can we talk about gathering in secret.
But Chu Cheng has lost his godhood now, and his devouring ability in his superpowers is far inferior to that in the Nerobo period. If he relies solely on superpowers to devour the godhood that wraps Aphro, it is simply a fantasy. But at this time, we have to admire the excellent matching mechanism of the Wanjie Continent.
The weakened Neropo met Aphro who was not observed by the comics and the goddess of fate, and was still in a chaotic time, and could not be defined as fallen or alive. The two sides maintained a strange balance point, so it was much easier to hide Aphro's existence at this time. All they had to do was simply prevent people online at this time from recognizing Aphro's power fluctuations or recognizing Aphro's face.
What's more, Aphro was also severely injured, his divinity was unstable, and his vitality was greatly damaged. He was just a half-lit little light bulb.
Thanks to the fact that Afro left a lot of superpowers to protect Altak during the Fall of the Gods, and competed with Kapor, the God of Daylight, to form a superpower point black hole, the Abyss. Therefore, Afro's power is not lost in the Wanjie Continent, and it can even be said to be a continuous, weak existence.
So although it is difficult, as long as Afro can keep his superpowers stable 24 hours a day, and Chu Cheng can also use a lot of superpowers, it is not impossible to avoid the early lurking. The only question left is what kind of image Chu Cheng should give Afro to show in the comics to avoid the possible attention of the goddess of fate.
It can't be too ordinary, otherwise it would be equivalent to giving a hint for readers to explore at the beginning, but it can't deviate too much from Afro's own personality. What if the readers' influence is too great and Afro changes his faith and his fate is doomed?
After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Cheng decided to keep Afro's all-black style, but the liquid-like flowing skirt must not be worn for the time being. A complicated fishtail skirt that wraps her body tightly and matched with leather boots might be a good choice. At the same time, Chu Cheng spent some money and found a small shop with a very strict reputation. He made an earring that was almost the same as his own, and threaded a string through it for Afro to hang around her neck.
The earring itself has no additional effect. It is just to hint in the details that Avro and Lance have a deep relationship, so that some readers will always doubt Avro's identity.
Now, a fresh Avro, or the image codenamed Luo, appears before our eyes.
[Lance, Nightingale sent a message that there seems to be a special mark and power fluctuations on Bellit's side]
[Bellit? ]
This is not good news. General marks should not be specially marked unless she has ordered it, or she senses something wrong. But when Nightingale was first found, it was more to absorb the right candidates to strengthen the team. But since Chu Cheng no longer needs to deliberately increase his popularity in front of readers, he has not actively obtained any intelligence from Nightingale.
The ability that Nightingale risked her life to report must not be from an unknown person. After searching through the possibilities in his mind, Chu Cheng locked on a candidate - Bane.
[Tell Nightingale to call everyone and try to hold him back, but if there is a scarred man with him, then don't worry about it.]
Bane is a special professional character, the only one in the current comics. He can predict, make medicine, and transfer souls. Except for the lack of knowledge about physical skills, he is a real hexagonal dangerous person.
Chu Cheng, who was immersed in the connection between the characters, was suddenly pulled back to reality by a voice that contained a sense of complexity and relief.
"It was obviously just a blink of an eye, but...it turned out that it was really a long time ago."
When Afro and Chu Cheng set foot on the land of Ferrog, they couldn't help but sigh. A thousand years is not a short time. It is definitely more than a blink of an eye for a god, but it is not a long time either. It may be the difference between a day and a month.
But for Afro, his country was in flames of war in the last second, with corpses everywhere. There were more displaced children and people who were heartbroken than the stars that hung in the night sky of Ferog.
And the next second, Ferog returned to peace. The lights on the street never went out, and there were many shops he had never seen, as well as those unfamiliar faces.
Afro touched the silver mask on his face and looked at Ferog in the new century with rare calmness. He could not recognize the rapidly developing Ferog, and Ferog could not recognize his god either. They were clearly more closely connected than any other two things in the world, but now, on the same warm land, they were as cold as if they had never met.
The unbelievable thought in his mind, the throbbing heart, finally slowly fell to the ground.
The god who swore to protect his homeland was absent for a thousand years when the country was in the most dangerous time. Now he finally came back. Although it seemed that he had never left, he was already different.
Chu Cheng certainly knew that Afro must have a lot of things he wanted to ask, see, and say, but they didn't have the time. In front of him was the goddess of fate who might find him and pursue him, and behind him was Pence's deification crisis. Chu Cheng couldn't afford to waste a single minute.
Thinking of this, Chu Cheng couldn't help but have his eyes darken.
'...Pence, huh'
Afro next to him noticed that Chu Cheng's mood was temporarily unstable, and turned his head to ask what happened, but Chu Cheng just waved his hand and took Afro to continue to go deeper into Ferrog.
Even though he was full of doubts, Afro knew that this was not a good time to be frank with each other, so he patiently walked with Chu Cheng in Ferrog. It must be said that this was indeed a rare opportunity. As gods, they can teleport in their own country, which is why it is terrible to commit crimes in the territory of gods, because once they lock your position, it will only take a blink of an eye for them to get to your side.
So Afro hasn't walked on his own feet in Ferrog for a long time, and it is indeed a very novel experience.
"How did you think of this method? Because of him?"
Chu Cheng did not rush to give an answer, but waited for a while, until Afro thought Chu Cheng would not answer this question, and then slowly covered it up with a meaningless sentence.
In fact, it was not that Chu Cheng deliberately acted as a riddle teller, the problem was that he really couldn't find out who Afro was talking about for a while. Chu Cheng could probably guess that Afro was talking about one of his apostles, but in fact, among so many apostles, Chu Cheng only knew a little about Piantiao. This guy was still Afro's apostle on the surface. From the comics, Chu Cheng must have caught some evidence to force him, so Afro was probably not referring to Piantiao. The
only person Chu Cheng remembered was Royna who had just appeared. Chu Cheng knew nothing about Royna. He only knew the name Royna from the comics, not to mention the others.
Afro didn't know what he had filled in his mind, so he didn't continue to ask. It would definitely be unrealistic to take Afro to the temple. There were all Afro's apostles there. It would be easy for them to be stripped to the bottom of their pants, so how could they hide their identities?
But just because you can't go to the temple doesn't mean you can't go to other places. Thanks to Avro for being playful enough back then, he built countless bases near the outskirts of Ferrog, just to avoid the apostles who came to pray every day.
So theoretically, these bases were not discovered by the apostles. Avro was obviously much more familiar with these places than Chu Cheng. Without even asking, Avro took Chu Cheng to avoid crowded places and ran along a dense woods covered with weeds to a small house.
This house can't be said to be magnificent, but at least it is dilapidated. The walls made of earth on the outside have been cracked and dried up to the point that they fall apart at the touch. A lot of weeds and flowers have grown out from the brick and tile peaks, and they are covered with geckos, like some kind of ruins.
"Luckily this place is desolate enough that I put on a protective shield outside, otherwise it would be easy to get lost."
Afro pulled Chu Cheng's wrist and passed through the thin blue film as thin as a cicada's wing. When he blinked again, the dilapidated hut in front of him disappeared, replaced by a house that was not a manor, but definitely a luxurious villa. The exterior was made of milky white stone, and looking up, you can see the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor.
"Hehe, come on, I originally prepared this place for you to use when you sneak in, but I didn't expect to use it for yourself after all the twists and turns."
