Afford? Why does it appear here?
With this doubt, he came to Afford.
After looking at the drawing in the opponent's hand, Ye Qiong recognized that it was the structural diagram of the temple, although the drawing was extremely sloppy.
The signature in the lower right corner was extremely obvious, and he spotted it at a glance.
Afford Rivato.
Is it possible that Aft was responsible for building this temple?
I saw this guy in front of me, constantly marking and revising on the white paper with a brush in his hand, showing great urgency, muttering to himself:
"If you want to die, don't take me with you. Who would lose their life for your so-called righteousness?"
To die? Righteousness?
In other words, something big will happen to this underwater city in the near future?
Ye Qiong silently watched Afut beside him. What he marked on the drawings were the mechanisms hidden behind each stone door, as well as the methods to open them.
It's just that Aft's current understanding of the temple is not that deep, and there is still a lot of information that has not been marked, such as the blood flame demon cat and the pure white giant tree.
After doing all this, he began to take action and stepped into the stone gate.
Although the temple has just been built, it has already taken shape. The candles burning around it reminded Ye Qiong of the scene when he first arrived.
Arriving at the first stone gate, Afford skillfully dodged the incoming petrification ray. Obviously this was not his first time here.
Every mechanism on the road that followed failed to trap him successfully, and he successfully arrived at the last stone gate.
He took out a small knife, made a cut in his palm, and dripped blood on the stone pillar in front of him.
In about two minutes, a "bang" sound came, and the stone door was opened smoothly.
Afford did not enter it immediately, but went around behind the stone pillar and tapped three times below. The blood left on the stone pillar disappeared in an instant.
It seems that this is a backdoor he left for himself as a designer to prevent anyone from discovering that someone has come in.
The scene behind the stone gate was not unfamiliar to Ye Qiong. After all, he had already gone in once.
But this time, there was no demonic cat baring its teeth and claws at him. The interior space was extremely empty. It was obvious that the meditation practice had not been completed, and the long tunnel leading to the pure white giant tree had not yet been completed.
Afford took out an earthen doll from the space ring, found a hidden compartment on a stone wall, and carefully placed the doll in his hand.
After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and then chose to leave the temple.
Ye Qiong did not follow immediately. Instead, he opened the secret compartment and looked at the doll hidden inside. Afut's spiritual imprint remained on it.
It is not difficult to guess what this guy is thinking. Most likely, he wants to wait for the incident that destroyed the city to take possession of the doll in order to achieve the purpose of reincarnation.
Although this may be a place in memory and has no influence on reality, Ye Qiong still threw the doll on the ground and smashed it without a second thought.
Dude, why are you so polite?
Then left the secret room.
Aft's speed was much faster than he expected. As soon as he walked out of the temple, this guy had disappeared.
The phone crystal out of the pocket made a vibrating sound, and it seemed like someone was calling them.
Ye Qiong took out the communication crystal, attached his mental power to it, and quickly established a connection.
Kelly's voice came to my ears:
"Brothers, this is a great discovery. Come to the blacksmith shop in the South District quickly."
"Southside Blacksmith Shop?"
"Yes, come quickly!"
Kelly's tone was very urgent, which made Ye Qiong very curious about what she had discovered.
Adas's voice came, and she just replied lightly:
"Copy that, I happened to find something interesting too."
Now that both of them had said so, Ye Qiong had nothing to hesitate and used the power of his lazy feet to head towards the southern part of the city.
The blacksmith shop that Kelly mentioned is not difficult to find. Just follow the sound of blacksmithing and you can find it quickly.
At a glance, the half-dragon and the short witch had arrived. Looking at the bald man wielding a hammer inside, they said to each other:
"Little Adas, have you ever thought that he looks like the same person?"
"who?"
The sudden question made her a little confused, and she carefully observed the person in front of her.
For some reason, she felt that the facial contour of this bald man was somewhat familiar.
At this time, Ye Qiong had already come closer. After hearing the conversation between the two, he also focused his attention on the blacksmith.
His powers of observation are extremely sharp, and after just a few careful glances, he made a discovery:
"Etansi?"
"Yes, that's right, it's him."
After the two people said this, Adas just remembered that the blacksmith was indeed very similar to the giant he saw when he first entered the Giant Star. He glanced sideways at Kelly beside him and said:
"This can't be a coincidence, right?"
"Of course not, guess what his name is?"
"Etansi?"
"No, it's Etans."
Ye Qiong was just about to say what difference it made, but suddenly he heard the implication of Kelly's words:
"You mean the one from Edith?"
"Yes, and not only that, this blacksmith's character is also very similar to the Edith we saw."
Adas already understood what Kelly meant.
"You want to say that the so-called Atansi and Eddis are not brothers. They are the same person from beginning to end?"
“Actually, if you take a closer look around here, you can still see a lot of familiar faces.
Most of the giants on this planet evolved from the humans in this city. "
After saying this, he looked at the statue in the distance.
"And the culprit of all this, I guess is probably Kelette."
Hearing this, Adas took over the words:
"The biggest possibility is indeed him, but I also discovered some interesting things about Kelette."
"What?"
"His reputation in the city is extremely high."
"Normal, he is extremely good at disguising."
"He is not greedy for power and leaves the management of the city to the elders of the Star Beast Masters Association."
"It seems that he has put a lot of effort into shaping his image."
"He is not greedy for beauty. In the more than ten years he has been the lord of this city, no one has ever seen a woman enter his house."
"So cruel? No, no, this is also for image management. Yes, yes, it must be like this."
"A few years ago, when the sea beasts attacked, he led the star beasts to fight in person, and was seriously injured as a result. Over the years, whenever foreign enemies invaded, he took the lead."
"?"
"Are you sure you're talking about Kelette and not someone else?"
Kelly has already heard that something is wrong. She is not greedy for power or wealth, nor obsessed with beauty. She will be the first to go to trouble.
Is this really the Kelette she knows?
Something's wrong, there's definitely something wrong here.
Not only Kelly reacted like this, but Ye Qiong also reacted the same way. How could a guy who sold out all human beings for his own selfish desires become such a selfless leader?
He didn't believe it even if it was acted.
Looking at the half-dragon in front of him, he said:
"You want to say that Kelette here has been taken away?"
"That's right, at least from what we see now, the Kellett who rules this city is definitely not the one we remember."
Kelly guessed:
"Mo? Judging from the current intelligence, she is the only one capable of doing this."
Ye Qiong thought about it and realized that it was indeed possible. Mo in the data light group was a star beast master who was dedicated to the interests of mankind. If she had taken Kellett away, then everything would make sense.
But the point of the question is, since the city is so prosperous, why did Aft go to the temple to prepare a way out for himself?
He told the two women the information he got from Afford.
After listening, they all fell into silence.
What Afford said was probably related to the fact that the humans in this city turned into giants.
The question is, is this disaster a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
The current intelligence was not enough to analyze all of this, so they could only continue to stay in the city, looking for relevant clues.
Three days later, the elders of the Star Beast Masters Association summoned everyone in the city to the central square.
Ye Qiong and others were at the back of the queue silently watching the speech of the white-haired old man on the stage.
The summary of everything he has to say is:
“Although we were driven here by natural disasters, it does not mean that we can never return to our home planet.
Fellow citizens, take heart, the future will ultimately be in our hands. "
After talking about a lot of chicken soup literature, I finally stated my purpose.
It turns out that the Star Beast Masters Association's experiments on the Philosopher's Stone have not stopped. With the help of City Lord Kellett, they created a potion that can stimulate the potential of the Star Beast Masters and allow them to break through the shackles of the present.
As soon as Ye Qiong heard these words, he noticed something was wrong.
However, the humans in the city had too much trust in the city lord Kelette and the Star Beast Masters Association. They did not have any doubts at all, so they exclaimed.
They all shouted:
"How many star coins do you want?"
"When will it be released?"
The white-haired old man on the stage just clapped his hands, chuckled, and said:
"Quiet, compatriots, I understand your current mood. I desire to become stronger than any of you, defeat natural disasters, and take back our home planet."
Then he changed the subject and continued:
“Although the potion is expensive, the top priority now is to enhance everyone’s strength.
Therefore, after discussions with the Star Beast Masters Association, the Star God Potion developed this time will be distributed to everyone for free! "
This sentence completely ignited the enthusiasm of everyone in the city, and they all exclaimed, praising the decision of the Star Beast Master Association.
Ye Qiong and others behind them had unnatural expressions on their faces.
This so-called Star God Potion is probably the culprit that turns everyone in the city into giants.
The question is, why do the Star Beast Masters Association and "Kellet" do this, and what is their purpose?
Ye Qiong focused his eyes on Aft in the corner. His expression was also a little unnatural. He had obviously realized something. After seeing the enthusiasm of the people around him, there was a trace of imperceptible contempt in his eyes.
It's a pity that they can't communicate with the residents in the city, otherwise Ye Qiong would really want to catch this guy and ask him what the situation is.
The Star Beast Masters Association moved very quickly. Just after finishing their speech, they had already carried out a large box. The purple potion contained in it was exactly the Star God Potion mentioned by the white-haired old man.
The staff distributed the medicine one by one to all residents present, including Aft.
The Star Beast Masters Association seems to attach great importance to this work. The old man on the stage has been watching the people below, as if confirming that they have taken the Star God potion one by one.
Even the cunning Afford didn't dare to be careless at this point. He looked at the purple potion in his hand with disgust, then opened the bottle cap and drank it in one go.
He naturally knew what would happen if he took the potion, but he had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, he would be treated as a traitor by the Star Beast Masters Association.
After everyone in the city drank the Star God potion, the speech ended here.
The people in the audience could clearly feel that the power in their bodies was continuously increasing, and they just thought that the Star God's potion had taken effect.
When he looked at the leaving white-haired old man, he kept cheering and seemed very excited. He had no idea what kind of end he would face next.
Ye Qiong and others, who were at the very back, clearly saw this scene in front of their eyes.
It seems that the tragedy of human beings turning into giants is a man-made disaster from beginning to end.
The person who caused this disaster was none other than the Star Beast Masters Association, and the man behind the association, Kelette.
Everything in the city was originally prosperous, but what was Kellett's purpose in doing this?
Turn humans into giants to take revenge on natural disasters?
But judging from Ye Qiong's experience, the giants on this planet have no idea of counterattack. The bloodline giants are wandering around, and the law giants are imprisoned in the Giant King's Court. There is no way to launch a counterattack against the demon world.
The three of them flew to the top of the city without saying much, waiting for the moment when the Star God potion took effect.
The wait was not too long.
The first day has passed. The bodies of the humans in the city have become significantly stronger, their strength has skyrocketed, and there are many people who have directly crossed a large realm.
When the night of the next day came, the human body had mutated, and its size had increased dramatically, turning into a giant more than ten meters tall.
This change caused everyone to panic, and they all went to the Star Beast Masters Association for an explanation.
But when they arrived at the association, it was empty.
At this time, no matter how stupid you are, you should understand that you have been deceived.
When the third day came, all the humans in the city turned into giants. They violently destroyed the city. Under the destructive power of the giants, in the blink of an eye, the originally prosperous city had turned into ruins.
On the seventh day, after many days of raging by the giants, the underwater city was completely lost.
"Kellet" appeared at the top of the city, with golden pupils without a trace of emotion, separating the soul of the giant below.
Ye Qiong's familiar Aitans, Adis was born.
