The mayor of Ocean City, Nicholas Tesler, is standing in front of his office window.
Not long ago, a green phantom light swept through the entire city like an uninterrupted tide.
He knew what that symbolized - the completion of the fusion of the Dream Child and Kluwetan's dream.
The gods who fell from their thrones have been repaired and have returned to the stage of the times.
He has left the material world and no longer lives in the Vinland Trench, the Kingdom of God that has been compressed.
The real R'lye once again transcended the material world and became a higher-level existence.
And the former hiding place of Vinland Trench is now empty of people...
However, the energy generated by the once-captured souls has not been exhausted. Ocean City can still use the energy provided by the "hypercube" before changing the energy source to the submarine volcano.
Nikolai Tesler's eyes were as calm as water, and he was indifferent to the drastic changes that would usher in the outside world - all he cared about now was the Ocean City purification plan...
On the Silver Star cruise ship, which was getting farther and farther away from Ocean City, Sean was sitting alone in a somewhat deserted room, which was completely different from the warm lights next door.
He closed his eyes and his spirit was already invested in the "Shengen Space".
Looking at the Shengen space, which is like a museum and houses various "divine feathers", "collections" and archives, Sean remembered his first contact with Shengen.
It's just a small candlestick-shaped symbol that can stabilize the soul.
With the growth of the soul and the nourishment of various supernatural powers, that small symbol has begun to take shape at this moment.
Sean walked up to Naiya Shenyu.
On top of the symbol of the faceless god, outside the skyline of the Forgotten Wasteland, the faceless gods towering became clearer at this moment.
This symbolizes that after Sean defeated Kennedy, Naija Shenyu has entered the threshold of "intermediate development" from "junior development".
Its presence is similar to the "City of Two Suns" of the red god next to it.
The upgraded Naiya Shenyu gives Sean stronger "memory and trace erasure ability". He can now even make the Queen forget memories within a few minutes.
For Jack-level or ordinary people, this ability will be even more terrifying.
The passive characteristic of "Forget Me" has also been improved. When Naiya Shenyu is activated, if it was just a vague impression before, now, people will hardly remember Sean's appearance.
"It's a very useful skill for me." Sean nodded slightly.
In this increasingly dangerous era, Sean wants to improve himself without attracting the attention of any force.
"In addition..." Sean injected spiritual power into an ectoplasm bullet, and the bullet turned into a shining black crystal...
"The object killed by this kind of bullet will be temporarily difficult to remember...
"It covers my movements very well."
Then, Sean walked to the booth where the black "living short knife" was displayed.
At this moment, the lines on the short sword were still expanding and contracting slightly - like a dangerous creature sleeping.
Because he didn't know the characteristics of this living knife, Sean didn't dare to use it rashly at the moment.
"The evil intention on the short sword has been removed by the sword in the tree...
"Next, we can only wait until we return to the Explorers Association and let relevant people identify its characteristics."
Judging from the presence it released, Sean thought it was probably a B-level heritage item.
"The improvement of Naiya's Divine Feather, and a B-level mysterious legacy..." Sean withdrew from the divine root space and sighed, "This time I have gained a lot...
"However," Sean's lips curled up as he listened to the voice of Moonlight speaking in the room next to him, "No matter what I gain, it would be better to find Aaliyah."
Finally enjoying the feeling of being "alone" enough, Sean stood up and walked out of his cabin impatiently and came to the next room.
"...When I woke up, Sean had already won, and Jock, the gambler, completely collapsed. He could only curse loudly..."
The moonlight spoke slowly, and the light illuminated his eyes, which were slightly bright. He used gestures as an aid to tell the story that happened in the undercurrent street.
Perhaps it was because the pianist was good at telling stories, but Sean discovered that Olivia, who was usually not very interested in talking, had her big red eyes open at the moment, listening to Moonlight's story in rapt attention.
Evan Burns was leaning against the wall, half of his face covered by a scarf. He seemed to be resting and thinking.
Ai Liwei brought her little brother Benjamin who loved to cry. The two of them had obviously become thinner, their eyes were slightly bright, and they both listened carefully to 1902's story...
"Brother!" Aaliyah shouted when she saw Sean walking in.
Perhaps because of the story, Aaliyah Dickinson's eyes were full of admiration when she looked at him at this moment.
Aaliyah was obviously excited, and turned around and asked, "How did you win against the gambler Jock?"
Sean, who has never been very pushy, saw a few pairs of curious eyes turning to him and had no choice but to say: "I used ectoplasm to simulate a heart and extended my life, causing him to fall into chaos...
"Then in the final hand, I played the most important trump card - his true identity.
"The evil spirit is an evil spirit after all, and his personality is still unstable. Then, I won..."
Recalling Undercurrent Street and the face of actress Catherine, Sean realized that Catherine should have woken up at this moment.
This couldn't help but make him a little excited.
After hearing what Sean said, Aaliyah and Benjamin looked at each other, and both looked at Sean with surprised and admiring eyes.
"Brother, you are so..." Aaliyah, who had always been a bit introverted, felt as comfortable among familiar friends at this moment. She didn't know how to praise Sean with words, so she just gave him a thumbs up.
"The Adventure of the Explorer..." Aaliyah held her chin, her eyes clearly yearning, "It's really exciting."
Sean noticed something was wrong.
He looked at the moonlight with some seriousness: "Did you tell them about Will, that poor young man's miserable situation in the church?
"Or is it the tragic situation of that gambler teammate who lost his soul to the evil spirit?"
Sean suddenly realizes one thing - Moonlight is an adventurous... "madman".
Let him tell the story of the explorer, and he will naturally have a "magnificent" and "wonderful" aura...
And those who listen to the story ignore the huge dangers that are omnipresent in the career of the explorer.
Moonlight nodded: "Of course."
Sean looked at Aaliyah doubtfully: "Aaliyah, the career of a explorer is very dangerous.
"If it weren't for..." Sean paused and continued, "I wouldn't have chosen to join this industry...
"So, if you think Pathfinder's adventures are 'fun,' you're wrong."
In Sean's mind, thinking that the Pathfinder career is wonderful is like thinking that the battlefield is "bloody" - not only a naive view, but also a dangerous view.
He couldn't accept Aaliya holding such a view.
Not hearing the warning in Sean's words, Aaliyah blushed slightly, glanced at the clown hermit mask on the table, and continued to herself: "Actually...
"In fact, what you said is the 'function' of the explorer...
"I seem to have one too."
