Although there were only two people in the room, Joey had the illusion of being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, which made him very uncomfortable and extremely tense.
Those crystal balls on the shelves in the room are like eyeballs.
what do I do?
Pretend to be stupid, or point it out directly?
He didn't even have time to think too much. The old man opposite looked at him up and down with a penetrating gaze.
Sure enough, in the eyes of people who have lived for hundreds of years, hesitation is the biggest flaw.
Even though he was wearing clothes, he felt completely naked.
"Your eyes have already told me the answer"
Just when Joey's thoughts were complicated and he didn't know how to deal with it, the old man's warm voice sounded again:
"Don't be nervous, we are not enemies. On the contrary, you and I have the same purpose."
"Same purpose?" Joey's face was filled with astonishment.
As the highest authority in the kingdom, generally speaking, all he thinks about is important secrets of the empire. How can he interact with a common man like him?
The only one involved is probably captain Vader Wesker.
Thinking of this, Joey blurted out:
"Vader Wesker"
This was the only tie he thought he had that could be related to this old man.
"You can call me Golas"
The old man in front of him looked kind, but the uncontrollable trembling tension still filled Joey's body.
Gorath, one of the two demigods disclosed to the public by the old group, his title is, Beast from the Storm, because Gorath is the only remaining high-sequence giant path.
After the death of the Sun God, the extraordinary characteristics split into three parts.
Light, blazing sun, and giant. Relying on the three sources, Senagaal derived the current sequence.
After thousands of years of deduction, they have formed a complete promotion system. Of course, these deduction capabilities are limited.
So far, Sequence 3 has not been deduced, which is the person of the saint. Demigod is already the highest limit that can be achieved, and conditions restrict development.
Light, blazing sun, and giant are just Senegal's names for these three paths.
Outside the Land Abandoned by God, someone has already deduced the sequence completely.
This is why Joey will hear some familiar sequence abilities when he is gathering in heaven.
For example, the fairy sequence mentioned most by Helena is very similar to some of the abilities of the Light Path, controlling energy elements.
It was difficult for him to associate the grumpy light priest in the rumors with the wrinkled little old man in front of him.
Senegal's sequential promotion is a wrong promotion method. Many magic potion formulas appear as substitutes. Together with mutated food, they not only cause blood diseases, but also create a group of mentally unstable extraordinary people. By.
The giant and blazing sun paths are the paths with the most errors.
The Burning Sun Path is currently only in the lower three ranks at most. If there is a chance for advancement, no one dares to try it.
Therefore, the most common soldiers the kingdom sees are sequence nine soldiers, berserkers.
"Greetings to you, Your Majesty"
Goras is a demigod and the current bishop of the Church of the Sun.
"The light will warm your day." Golas spread his left and right hands, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, and made a gesture of embracing the sun. This is a unique prayer gesture of the Church of the Sun.
Joey did the same thing.
Goras pointed to the sofa opposite and indicated that he could sit there.
On the right side of the sofa, there is also a silver-white box covered with exquisite patterns.
After Joey sat down, he took down a crystal ball from the shelf, touched it gently as if it were a treasure, pondered for a few seconds, turned to look at Joey and said:
"I need your spirituality so that I can accurately locate Vader Wesker."
"Spirituality?" Joey opened his mouth in surprise.
This was the same purpose as Vader's previous attempt to find Wayne through him.
"Yes! Spirituality, as a luck master, you have inspiration beyond all else, like a guiding light in the darkness."
Joey didn't understand that whether it was Vader, Maimaiti, or now Goras, they seemed to care about the Lucky Master sequence. And the expressions are all in good faith.
Unprovoked kindness is often more fearful than blatant malice.
"You know, you are the only lucky master I have seen who has been successfully promoted."
"You seem to care about this sequence?"
Goras said excitedly:
"Eight hundred years, a whole eight hundred years, we once thought that the revelation of God was impossible to come true. Your appearance gave me hope."
Joey looked at Goras with a surprised look, and thought to himself: "Are you sure it's a revelation from God, not the ravings of the evil god?"
"You don't have to doubt it," Goras said with a confident smile: "That is a revelation from Mother Earth. He is not dead. He will eventually lead us out of the darkness."
In fact, it stands to reason that what Senagale really believes in is the goddess of harvest, and the sun god is just the ruler.
I really heard an incredible secret. Could it be that the last remaining land was protected by the power of Demeter, the goddess of harvest?
Joey suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a bit colder, and he felt like his fate was being manipulated.
Lucky Master seems to be a great way.
He suddenly became very alert, and his hand involuntarily touched the revolver on his waist.
"Don't be nervous, I told you, I'm not your enemy."
"On the contrary, I can help you advance to the next sequence faster."
As he spoke, he pointed to the silver box on Joey's left hand side and motioned for him to open it.
For a moment, Joey felt ridiculous. Did he want to take out a gun and shoot in front of a demigod?
He opened the box gently, and a rotten stench suddenly hit his face.
"Very good" Goras's voice was full of magnetic temptation.
"I will mix these things into a magic potion. As long as you drink it, you can be promoted to Sequence Eight. Of course, before that, you need to confirm whether you have finished digesting the Sequence Nine potion."
"Deep-sea fish, antenna worms, turtle sand" Joey's eyes were full of surprise and he muttered in his heart. The main ingredients for the potion that he had worked so hard to gather were already prepared by the other party.
The most important point is that there is no sea in Senegal. In other words, this potion has existed for a very long time, at least eight hundred years.
Because at that time, there was still an ocean, unlike now, it is a corner.
"What exactly do you want to do?" he asked warily.
Goras ignored Joey's expression change, but looked at him with a smile on his face.
In the cloudy eyes, there is a sense of historical vicissitudes.
"No matter what I want to do, you can't resist, right?"
Goras held the crystal ball and walked towards Joey step by step.
It is obviously a hunchbacked body, but it gives people an endless sense of oppression.
Joey sat and he stood, maintaining this condescending position for a long time, the two looking at each other.
Despite the invisible oppression, Joey finally chose to compromise. There is no way, who can say that the strength is not as good as the other party?
He shrugged, very helpless.
"I think you have been waiting for this moment for a long time, right?"
"You're right." Goras laughed, then handed the crystal ball to Joey's hand, and he bent down to pick up the box.
Walking towards a small door without looking back, a vicissitudes of life's voice sounded:
"Red means you have completely digested the potion."
Joey suddenly felt a burning sensation coming from the crystal ball in his hand, and the originally transparent glass ball began to turn red little by little.
At the same time, it seemed as if something was being pulled out of the body and transmitted from the palm into the crystal ball.
There was a messy sound in my ears, which I couldn't hear or understand clearly. It sounded like the roar of a wild beast or someone talking.
At that moment, his five senses were heightened to the extreme, and he could even see the frequency of the flapping wings of a small insect flying in front of him.
"As expected, you will bring me a surprise." At the last moment when Golas opened the small door and entered, he turned his head and glanced at Joey, watching the crystal ball turn red, and smiled with satisfaction.
I don’t know how much time passed before Joey came back to his senses from that state and the crystal ball became transparent again.
“This passed the test”
He had heard about the crystal ball used by the church to identify the mental state of extraordinary people.
But he didn't expect that this thing would come from Goras's hands.
"The next step is to take the magic potion to advance to Sequence 8. I don't know if I can survive it."
Looking at the closed door, the melancholy in Joey's eyes flashed away: "Maybe, then, I can recite the monkey's honorable name again?"
He didn't wait long, and soon Goras came out with a bottle of potion as black as ink.
"Do you need to adjust your condition?"
Joey shook his head and said:
"unnecessary"
Things have reached this point, there is no possibility of retreat, and Goras will not let him go.
Taking a deep breath, he took the bottle in Goras' hand and drank it in one gulp.
Goras did not speak, but stared at Joey with a smile.
The moment he swallowed the potion, Joey felt a strong stimulation in his body. This stimulation comes from the stimulation of the digestive tract by the chemical components of the potion, and the power in the potion begins to become active in the body.
This stimulation made him tremble all over, like insects biting his skin.
Then, the power in the potion began to be active in the body, slowly going down from the throat.
This energy flows in the body, and two contradictory feelings of hot and cold appear at the same time. This energy burst causes various abnormal reactions in Joey's body.
Veins popped up in the muscles on his arms, and his eyesight became sharper, and he could even see everything around him clearly in all directions without blind spots.
Not everyone can bear the burst of power, and Joey gradually realized the meaning of this sentence.
The dizziness made him beat his head desperately.
Everyone's state of taking magic potion is different.
It may affect a person's mood and thinking. One may feel excited, manic, or confused, while others may feel fearful, anxious, or confused. This effect may cause people to behave abnormally and even produce some dangerous behaviors.
In general, after swallowing a potion, a person's body reaction is complex and diverse, depending on the type and ingredients of the potion, as well as the individual's physical constitution and tolerance.
It's not that you will gain new abilities after taking it, but that you persevere in the struggle to survive and strengthen yourself through the magic potion.
Joey seemed to hear his own heartbeat, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
This state lasted for a long time, and he gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on.
Strength, I need strength.
His eyes filled you with desire.
The energy rushing around in the body reached a critical point at a certain moment, like a fully inflated balloon exploding with a pop.
Suddenly, a comfortable feeling spread throughout the body.
The voice of Goras sounded in my ears:
"Congratulations, now you are a Sequence 8 transporter. Next, I need you to do something."
There was a golden light in his cloudy eyes.
"You want to find Vader Wesker?" Joey breathed heavily, he was still getting used to his current body.
Goras twirled his beard, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"That's right." He nodded, looking at Joey with great appreciation.
"I wonder why that is?"
Goras did not give an explanation, but turned and walked towards the small door: "Follow me"
If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's rank was too high, I really wanted to pry open their heads and see how many secrets were hidden inside.
Goras walked in front, and Joey followed carefully.
If it were his previous self, he would have chosen to stay away from these extraordinary beings.
Not every time traveler has a desire to dominate, at least he doesn't. He is tired of the nine-to-five social life, and what he yearns for is plainness.
Life with his father, Tony Creevey, was difficult, but he lived it to the fullest.
The way to absorb happiness is a meal of food, a delicious meal.
Now, even if he becomes an extraordinary person, he doesn't have to worry about food, but he is unhappy.
He had to be involved in the game of extraordinary beings and could not escape.
All you can do is try to make yourself as strong as possible.
Behind the small door, there are various instruments, and the unique pungent smell of potions fills the entire room.
"Master Bishop, may I ask, what is your relationship with the captain?"
Goras walked to the tool table and started playing with the bottles and jars.
After Joey's words fell, he could clearly catch an imperceptible flash of nostalgia in Goras's eyes.
He said in a low voice: "He is my teacher."
Seeing Joey's mouth wide open with a series of stunned expressions, he chuckled and said:
"No doubt, this is the truth"
You really don’t blame me for being suspicious. Do you want to see your face? Half of your body is buried in the ground. Who would believe that Wade is your teacher?
"About two hundred years ago, he disappeared inexplicably. It was not until recently that I felt his breath again."
From Goras' words, Joey felt a strange emotion, which was not the emotion that a teacher and a student should have.
This old man can't be one. . . .
Joey murmured in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Goras quietly changed.
