Klein took a deep breath and watched the wounds on his body slowly heal.
The flames on his body gradually extinguished, revealing wounds covered in frost. Klein was silent for a moment and continued walking forward.
He knew that he was now in Grossel's Travels, but he didn't expect to encounter the terrifying frost dragon "King of the North" as soon as he entered here. Fortunately, Klein was superior and used his ability to control the "Spirit Thread" to force the "King of the North" back.
Failed to keep the "King of the North"... Klein exhaled a touch of hot air from his mouth and felt in a very bad mood.
After entering this world related to the "audience", Klein felt that everything became coincidental again. He met the "King of the North" just after arriving here. And those "characters" who had no news before he forced the "King of the North" away only appeared after he forced the "King of the North" away...
Klein looked at Grossel dragging a heavy sword in the distance and the colorfully dressed figure behind him, and Klein sighed.
…The feeling of being set up by the “audience” sucks.
…
"Old man, when will the road here end?" Leonard shouted to Pales in his mind. Pales was so annoyed by Leonard that he had to block out Leonard's voice. Filter out only necessary information.
"There's not much distance left... Aren't you going to help your partner?" Pales snorted coldly: "I've already used divination to help you point out the location. Don't you know how much distance is left?"
"Okay..." Leonard curled his lips and was quiet for a while, but then Leonard couldn't hold it back and spoke again:
"So, old man..."
Pales glared angrily, causing Leonard, who consciously sensed that he was indeed a bit noisy, to scratch his head in embarrassment. After a while, Leonard said to himself "talking to himself":
"Old man, why do you think Klein was promoted so quickly?"
"Every era has its 'protagonist'." Pales sarcastically said: "Didn't you still think that you were the protagonist of the era, and I was your opportunity?"
"That's because you're on my side, and you didn't show any malice behind..." Leonard sighed and walked forward in the direction predicted by Pales.
He stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow:
"You are a Sequence 1 angel, which allowed me to go from Sequence 8 to Sequence 6 in just one year, and to start preparing for the Sequence 5 promotion ceremony - but what about Klein? Only after all the efforts did he become Extraordinary. In just one year, he was promoted from an ordinary person to Sequence Five?"
"You have also confirmed that there is no 'parasite' in him."
"You have to know that there are always some people who are different." There was a hint of resentment in Pales' tone: "Some people are particularly suitable for a certain path. It only takes three months to fully digest a sequence of potions. When the time comes - haha, there are often people behind them who provide them with resources."
"They have both talent and resources. If they have mastered the 'acting method' and are particularly suitable for their own path, and will not waste time in a certain sequence because they cannot find potion materials, then of course they can be promoted quickly. .”
After saying that, Pales said "tsk":
"Speaking of which, your former captain Dunn Smith. If it weren't for the fact that he never knew how to act, and he repeatedly swallowed the extraordinary properties of adjacent pathways, resulting in the need to repeatedly digest potions...then he might also be a demigod now. .”
"However, after you successfully defeated Megoos... Haha, the members of your team quickly obtained resources and began to be promoted. This is not a normal phenomenon for the church." Pales paused. After a moment, he subconsciously looked at Leonard in front of him.
Leonard's eyes lit up: "In other words..."
"That's right." Pales nodded firmly: "It's because..."
"We have accumulated enough merits!" Leonard clapped his hands and gave a reasonable analysis to Pales: "Old man, you see, we made so many sacrifices to kill Megoos and stop Megoos. for the disaster of Tingen—this is the Church’s compensation.”
Are you referring to the incident where Klein defrauded the insurance company and has not yet been retracted... Palles sighed, inexplicably feeling that he actually thought what Leonard said made sense:
"It may be that the Goddess of the Night, the True Creator, and the god behind Klein have some degree of cooperation. As compensation and to win over Klein, you have also been cultivated by the church."
After saying that, Pales sneered, as if he had thought of something: "Have you forgotten that sentence? You can believe in the power of the gods, but never believe in the kindness of the gods!"
Leonard opened his mouth, but had nothing to say for a moment. He turned his head and changed the subject abruptly: "Old man, how far are we from Klein's position..."
"Hey..." Pales did not expose Leonard's extremely abrupt change of topic, but once again pointed out the direction for Leonard.
He sighed:
Perhaps, it is really only experiencing the death of a friend that will cause a drastic change in this kid's psychology... Pales silently glanced at Leonard in his own consciousness and sighed silently.
No, that's fine too.
…
Klein stood in front of a dark cave. Next to him was the giant Grossel, who was extremely large and had an equally weird and slightly deformed body proportions.
Next to Grossell was a woman with soft and shiny black hair, slightly pointed ears, and a soft face, like an Oriental.
The only difference is that she is wearing brown ancient hunter trousers and jacket, giving her a sense of familiarity like a Japanese elf.
Klein had previously doubted whether the "Elf King" Sunia Solem in this world was also a time traveler like him. However, after he asked the true Creator who had experienced that war, the True Creator gave a negative answer.
"If it is really a time traveler, then even if the Elf King has lost his mind, then I will not beat him to death completely and eliminate his last hope of resurrection."
The True Creator doesn’t have the airs of a god, so he said this to Klein - of course, Klein didn’t know that when he said this, what the True Creator was thinking was:
What a pity, the Elf King is different from us and is not a remnant from that era. Otherwise, I will have a way to study whether other people can survive the doomsday disaster through other methods...
As the "Pickle of the Sea of Chaos", the real creator, a former civilization researcher who was still the "Ancient Sun God" at the time, actually wanted to drag the crazy Elf King to study.
However, just as they were about to enter the cave entrance, the female elf, "Elf Singer" Shaitas, suddenly turned back and looked behind her.
"who?"
Thanks to the irritability of the "storm" path, she directly raised the rather primitive bow and arrow in her hand, and the bow and arrow were immediately entangled with silver-white thunder and lightning. She looked at the looming figure in the distance and prepared to shoot the arrow in her hand.
"I'm also here to defeat the 'King of the North'." A figure slowly walked out from behind the hillside. He raised his hands to indicate that he was not in danger. Klein looked at the visitor and said in a deep voice to Grossel in front of him:
"He is my companion."
"Hmm..." Groselle hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, blocked Xiatas with the giant sword behind him that was wider than a human door panel, pointed the fully charged thunder bow and arrow into the distance, and quickly released it. Open your hand.
A bolt of lightning burst directly from Xiatasi's hand, flew far away to the mountain wall in the distance, and produced a violent explosion. After breathing a sigh of relief, she suddenly looked at Grossel in front of her with some dissatisfaction:
"Why do you always move so fast? I almost couldn't stop it!"
Grossel just touched his head, smiled and said nothing. On the other hand, a young man behind Grossel, who was wearing irregular and asymmetrical clothes and looked like a noble from the Fourth Age, turned his head to Klein and said quietly:
"Shaitas has this temper. Don't look at her like this, she is actually caring about Grossel."
"What did you say?"
Xiatasi turned to look at this young man who was dressed very unevenly and gave people an uncomfortable feeling. The young man became alert, coughed, and lowered his head.
Fortunately, Shaitas did not continue to cause trouble for this young man. Instead, she turned around and continued to argue stubbornly with Grossel. The source of their dispute was also very simple, that is, should Grossel always act like this? Take risks and touch dangerous things.
But it sounds like a dispute, but in fact it's not much different than a quarrel with a friend.
Klein looked at the man in front of him who was suspected of being a Fourth Age aristocrat, and felt that his clothes looked familiar - his style felt like Gao Wei's, but compared with Gao Wei's dress, The man's clothes were obviously more chaotic and uncoordinated.
If you use Klein's own modern language, it means that he has his own unique aesthetic.
"Speaking of which, we don't know your name yet." The man stretched out his hand and said in a rather gentle tone, "My name is Mobet Zoroaster, sequence five of the 'Theft' path, 'Theft'. Dreamer'."
"Stealer" is Amon's path... I really haven't seen many mid-sequence people in this path. It seems that all the Beyonders above the mid-sequence level have been "eaten" by Amon...
Klein nodded, adhering to his character of Gehrman Sparrow, and said calmly to Mobet in front of him:
"Gehrman Sparrow. Sequence Five."
He was still wary of the people in front of him. Due to the arrangement of an "audience", Klein did not dare to expose his abilities too much. After all, no one knows whether the friend who is sincerely interested in you will be able to do so. Under the guidance of an "audience", a knife is drawn against you.
However, the surname "Zorroaster" is the same as the "stealer" angel parasitizing Leonard? If Leonard were here, he should be able to figure out his specific identity...
While thinking about it, Klein said to Mobet in front of him in silence for a moment:
"The clothes you're wearing remind me of a friend of mine."
"Remembering a friend of yours?" Mobet said with some confusion:
"Then your status in the Solomon Empire should not be low, right? I am wearing a dress that only a 'viscount' is qualified to wear - please don't get me wrong. I am not showing off my status, but the Solomon Empire has a strict hierarchy. Even the clothes can’t be worn randomly.”
"No, Long Zell told me before that there is no Solomon Empire anymore. But will anyone still wear the clothes we had at that time? Doesn't the current country have a history of destroying the Solomon Empire?"
Ronzel? It seems that the pair who joined the book after the Fourth Age is the Loen soldier... It seems that there is also an exchange of information between them. Klein was about to answer when he heard Shaitas' violent voice coming from not far away.
"Mobet, didn't we say we would wait until we get back to explain our identities?!"
"I understand, I understand!" Mobet said loudly, then looked down at Klein and asked him in a low voice: "So, that friend of yours..."
"Let's talk about it later." Klein shook his head and looked at Leonard and the figure emerging behind Leonard. He looked at Shatas, who suddenly looked like a cat with exploding hair, and there was a hint of helplessness in his usually cold tone.
"I have to go explain the situation to them."
I’ll be busy in the next few days, so I’ll just update it temporarily.
