Above the gray fog, brief questions in Loen and Intis rang out at the same time.

Different languages, indeed the same dignified and tight tone.

This is where? What do I want to do? I also want to know... Zhou Mingrui calmed down and silently repeated the question in Rune language.

As for the other question, although he didn't understand it, he thought it had the same meaning.

What impressed him most was not the sentences composed of words or the meaning contained in the sentences, but the panic, vigilance, fear and awe displayed by those two people!

Two people were inexplicably pulled into this world of gray fog. Even I, as the "culprit", was extremely stunned and shocked, let alone them who were on the passive side!

In their opinion, this kind of thing and this kind of encounter are probably beyond imagination, right?

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui thought of two options. One was to pretend that he was also a victim and hide his true identity in exchange for a certain degree of trust and wait and see what happened, fishing in troubled waters. The other was to remain mysterious in the eyes of those two people. image, actively guide the development of things, and obtain valuable information from it.

Without enough time to think or deliberate, Zhou Mingrui caught the thought that flashed through his mind, quickly made a decision, and tried the second method.

Take advantage of the other party's current psychological state and seize your own greatest advantage!

There was a brief silence above the gray fog for a few seconds. Zhou Mingrui chuckled lightly, his tone was calm, his voice was low and not deep, as if he was responding to a visitor's polite greeting, and he said in ancient Fusac language:

"An attempt."

While speaking, he secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the "foreigner" could understand this ancient language known as "the origin of the languages ​​of the countries in the Northern Continent".

Fortunately, Piero did understand.

An attempt... an attempt? !

He looked at the mysterious man shrouded in gray mist and frowned deeply, why did I encounter an extraordinary event again?

Piero encountered an extraordinary incident last year. After luckily surviving, he became a civilian member of the "Dawnbreaker" team of the Eternal Sun Church.

It seems different this time. This mysterious man still has reason... Thinking of this, Piero Colte took a deep breath and asked rather uneasily:

"Sir, is the attempt over? Can we go back?"

Alger Wilson also wanted to conduct a similar test, but with rich experience, he was more calm, suppressed his impulse, and just watched silently.

Zhou Mingrui looked at the questioner and could vaguely see his figure through the mold lake. He was a man with black hair tied back in a pigtail. He was slightly taller than average.

He did not answer the question in a hurry, but turned to look at the man on the other side. The man's hair was dark blue, as messy as seaweed, and he was of medium build, not too strong.

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui suddenly had an enlightenment. When he becomes stronger or has a deeper understanding of this gray fog world, he may be able to truly see through the haze and see clearly what these two people look like.

In this incident, they are the guests and I am the host!

As soon as his mentality changed, Zhou Mingrui immediately felt some details that he had not noticed just now.

Both of these men are quite illusory, dyed slightly red, just like the projection of the two crimson "stars" above the gray fog.

And this projection is based on the connection between himself and Crimson, a connection that is invisible but can be truly grasped by himself.

Cut off this connection, and the projection will dissipate and they can return... Zhou Mingrui nodded slightly, looked at the man with braids, and chuckled:

"Of course, if you formally propose, I can let you go back now."

Sure enough, he was not crazy and could still communicate... This discovery made Piero greatly relieved. He was about to agree and leave when he suddenly thought of a question.



"I have encountered extraordinary events twice in a row, will there be a third time?!"

Thinking of this, he was not ready to leave.

It seems that the other two are obviously extraordinary people. Maybe they can get some information that is kept secret from civilian personnel?

After organizing his language a little, Piero tentatively asked:

"Sir, I would like to know how to become an Extraordinary, and what kind of dangers will you face after becoming an Extraordinary?"

In order not to reveal as much information about himself as possible, he concealed his ability to become an extraordinary person.

Good question! I also want to know the answer... Zhou Mingrui complained to himself.

He began to think about what answer he should use to maintain his mysterious image.

At the same time, he felt that standing and talking like this seemed a bit lacking in style. Such a scene should not have a temple, a long table, and many backrest seats carved with ancient patterns and full of mysterious feelings, while he sat there. At the top, are you watching the guests quietly?

As soon as Zhou Mingrui finished his thoughts, the gray fog rolled suddenly, startling Piero and Alger.

In an instant, they saw towering stone pillars surrounding them, and they saw a broad dome above them.

The whole building is spectacular, majestic and majestic, like the palace of a giant in legend.

Directly below the dome, surrounded by gray mist, there is a long bronze table with ten high-backed chairs on the left and right. The same seats are also placed in the front and back. The back of the chair is shining brightly, dark red and dark, outlining a scene that is inconsistent with reality. Corresponding strange constellations.

Piero and Alger were sitting on the same side, closest to the head.

Zhou Mingrui remained calm on the surface, hiding his own surprised emotions.

Alger also looked around. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly spoke and answered Piero's question on behalf of Zhou Mingrui:

"Are you from Intis?"

"If you want to become an extraordinary person, join the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun or the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery."

"Although the vast majority of people have never seen anything extraordinary in their lives, so much so that they suspect that the church is in the same situation. Even within several major churches, many clergy have similar thoughts, but I can tell you clearly that in the arbitration tribunal, in In the tribunal and the execution mechanism, Extraordinary people still exist and are still fighting against the dangers growing in the darkness, but the number is much smaller than in the early Black Iron Age or before."

Zhou Mingrui listened intently, but his body movements tried his best to show his nonchalant attitude as he listened to the children telling stories.

Relying on Klein's remaining historical common sense, he knew that the "Black Iron Age" refers to the current era, the fifth era, which began one thousand three hundred and forty-nine years ago.

The focus is on the last question, brother... Seeing that Alger had stopped talking, Piero could only ask again, "What about the danger?"

Alger turned his head to look at Piero next to him with some surprise, and said with a smile:

"The biggest danger is that the extraordinary power is out of control. There are many causes for this, and the probability is... neither big nor small."

"Other than that, it's probably easier to get in touch with—"

At this point, Alger stopped forcibly, swallowed back the words "strange existence" that followed, and looked at the "Mr. Mysterious" sitting above him with some fear.

Then, he added the last word, "extraordinary event" as if nothing had happened.
