Chapter 97 Ending Day 1
"Huh... I'm really tired of you two. I suffered a lot in the first half of my life, and now I have to suffer all the hardships I have never experienced with you."
Tatarina sighed sadly after brushing off the bugs that stuck to her body again. Carl pushed aside the large leaves in front of him, clicked on the supernatural map given to him by Uncle Oliver, and carefully compared the direction.
"It's almost there, it's estimated that we will arrive in another 100 to 80 meters. Be careful, the soil here is not solid, and we may sink."
"... What are you doing here?"
The sudden childish voice startled the three people and froze them. Then they realized that the voice came from the child on Lima's back. Or to be more precise, the ice dragon who looked like a child and was unknown how old.
"Why don't you talk?"
The child rubbed his eyes, looking a little sleepy. His soft cheeks bulged a little because of the pressure on Lima's shoulders, and his soft white hair fluttered up and down like cotton candy. But no matter how harmless he looked, the three of them would not regard him as an ordinary child. Not only because they had seen this out-of-control ice dragon trample on Ferrog wantonly, but also because when he opened his eyes, the three of them felt as if a thousand pounds of pressure were pressing on them and making them unable to breathe. The hair on their bodies stood up, and every inch of their skin was clamoring to run away.
Especially Lima, whose neck was covered with goose bumps from the hot air spray.
The white-haired kid seemed to have not noticed the three people's stiff expressions. He yawned and rubbed his messy hair.
"I haven't been to Tanzania for a long time... If you go there, you better hide well."
"What do you mean by hide well?"
Although the pressure brought by the white-haired kid could not be ignored, he did not look aggressive and was very friendly to the three people, so Carl asked bravely.
"On the surface"
The white-haired kid looked very sleepy. He just woke up, but he couldn't help closing his eyes.
"Sodium Tanzania One was frozen and then taken over by Bellit. If you go there, you will definitely be discovered by Bellit. Have you thought about how to explain it?"
"Bellit took over?"
This is really a case of just escaping from the tiger's den and falling into the wolf's mouth. They just ran away from Bellit. Could it be that they will be captured by Bellit's people again in the blink of an eye? However, Carl and his friends did not know the relationship between Bellit and Sodium Tanzania One.
Not to mention Carl, even Tatarina knew very little about Sodium Tanzania One. After all, Sodium Tanzania One was completely removed from the list after the Battle of the Gods at Dusk a thousand years ago. A thousand years is considered a long time for some immortal species, not to mention this group of young guys who have only lived for a few decades.
Even Lima didn't know much. He could only vaguely know from his dreams and the mouth of the God of Time and Space that it was probably Neropol who froze Tanzanite, but he couldn't know more now.
Baimao rubbed his head, seeming a little annoyed, but finally explained patiently.
"Actually, I don't know much... I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. Ah... When was the last time I mentioned my name... I can't remember... Anyway, you can just call me Long--"
In the morning light, several hurried figures shuttled through the green leaves in the towering forest. Carl led the way in front, Tatarina and Lima were always on guard against possible monsters and enemies in the back, and Long was unable to open his eyes on Lima's back. As for why this happened, it all goes back to the moment when the bell tower collapsed.
The monsters that Karl called fled in all directions, and the ice dragon broke through the illusion and escaped. In the blink of an eye, the herds of monsters disappeared in the town, and Nerobo, who caused all this, disappeared quietly.
After the huge ice dragon stepped on the ground and made several earth-shattering palm prints, it suddenly shook its huge body and was about to fall down in the terrified eyes of several people. It is hard to imagine what would happen if such a huge dragon fell in the town, but this is not something these three people can handle.
But a second before the three of them ran away, the huge body of the ice dragon suddenly seemed to be deflated, and a large amount of white gas evaporated from its body, floating and shrinking downwards. In the thick fog, the three of them finally stared blankly at the tiny black shadow in the center, looking at each other in confusion.
Finally, it was Carl who spoke, and the three of them carefully waved away the thick fog and walked towards the center.
When the three of them saw clearly what the black shadow in the center was, they couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh my god..."
And in the black shadow was a long-lived creature that turned into a white-haired child and called itself a dragon. Long was lying on the ground weakly, without even a piece of clothing to wrap around him. His cheeks were scratched by the gravel on the ground, and there were spots of blood on his body. It looked like he had just been injured by a group of monsters.
Carl and others naturally couldn't just sit back and watch Long in such a state. After hesitating for a long time, they took Long away. Lima had the advice of the God of Time and Space not to easily reject Carl's decision. Tatarina was completely numb. She thought that if she wanted to stop Carl's decision, she needed to travel back in time to stop herself from begging Carl and others for food.
Time returned to the present, and Long roughly introduced the love-hate relationship between Bellit and Tanzania to Carl and others. In short, when Nerobo froze Tanzania to protect it, Bellit followed and took it into his bag. Because of the fall of the goddess of the sea, Tanzania became a country without a master, and the goddess of fate acquiesced to what Burns did.
But Carl caught a bright spot in it.
"You mean, Nerobo froze Tanzania to protect it?"
Long nodded and wiped away the tears from his sleepless eyes.
"Everyone who is a little older knows about this, but I have also been locked up for so long that I really don't know what is happening outside. Anyway, I'll give you a piece of advice. It's okay to deal with Pence, but if you offend the goddess of fate, it will be hard to say."
Without time to estimate the goddess of fate that Long mentioned, Carl hurriedly grabbed Long's wrist and raised a question that he had buried for many years.
"So... the wind and snow in Ataco... is also..."
Long raised his eyelids and groaned, which was considered an admission.
Carl was stunned for a moment. He found it difficult to explain his mood at the moment. It was as if the suffering and inhuman treatment he had endured for so many years were actually the result of his god's desperate efforts. There was a sense of irony.
But this seemed to be inconsistent with what Lance did. According to Long, Nero chose to freeze it in order to protect Tanzanite from the enemy gods, but Lance said it was to eliminate misfortune.
Long shook his head, but then nodded. He slowly closed his eyes in front of Carl's confused eyes and fell asleep again. Knowing that he would not get the answer he wanted, Carl took a deep breath and exhaled. He raised his head, squinted at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, raised his hand to cover it, and let the sunlight fall on his face through the gaps between his fingers.
"....What...is real..."
------------------------------------------————
"Are you going out?"
Seeing Chu Cheng, who had packed up, put his hand on the door handle, Afro asked. Chu Cheng turned around and touched the mask on his face, his expression still a little cold.
"Well... since we are building momentum for Neropo's return, of course the more people involved the better..."
Halfway through his speech, he seemed to realize that his cold tone and poker-like face did not match his current outfit. The muscles under the mask twitched for two seconds, and then he adjusted his facial expressions. An elegant and frivolous smile instantly appeared on his face, which was unfamiliar to Afro.
"Okay... Mr. Magician, have a safe journey. If possible, it's best to restore my Ferrog to its original state, otherwise I will be angry."
"Of course, my dear goddess."
With his hand on his shoulder and leaning forward slightly, he performed the lengthy and complicated aristocratic style. Then, amid the laughter that the two of them could not hold back, Chu Cheng pushed the door open and disappeared on the spot.
——————————————————————————————————————
Compared to the trampled and destroyed Ferrog, Bellit can be said to be prosperous and luxurious. The people were laughing and talking, without any sadness or sympathy for the disaster that had happened to the country not far away.
The black robes were billowing in the wind, and many people were brushed by the soft corners of the clothes. They vaguely sensed something, but it quickly disappeared. In the end, they could only attribute it to their own abnormal senses.
However, what they did not understand was that this short contact of one second was enough for a faint glow to appear on their bodies, which meant that they were marked by the magician.
Chu Cheng stood on the spire of Bellit, looking down at Bellit with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Oh, oh, it seems that they have been discovered."
In the bustling crowd, the father who was leading the child suddenly had a dazed look in his eyes, and his expression was dazed. He stiffened his neck and looked up into the sky. The child who was standing there inexplicably didn't understand why his father stopped moving, and tugged at his father's hand blankly. Half a minute later, the father's eyes suddenly became clear, and he continued to lead the child forward as if nothing had happened.
Chu Cheng saw this scene. This scene was played out at a rapid speed. Almost every ten meters, someone would fall into a stiff state, and recover quickly in less than half a minute. After spreading to nearly a hundred people like a virus, one person finally looked straight into Chu Cheng's eyes.
"Found it..."
The next second Chu Cheng disappeared again, and the lady with dull eyes seemed to be crazy, shaking off her friend's arm, and ran towards Chu Cheng twistedly as if she had limbs.
Chu Cheng was like teasing a dog, and when the puppet was about to catch up, he showed up again, attracting attention, until Chu Cheng stepped into the solemn temple.
