2028 Temporary rest (1)
The confession of the two long-robed spell casters seemed to be able to explain the origin of the dispute between the despaired and the remnant of Scandinavia. However, in Tang Zhen’s opinion, the matter was not that simple.
Why couldn’t the remnants of the divine Kingdom find the divine stone, but the despairing could? what was the difference between the two?
Was it because of a different physique, or was it because of some other reason?
The despaired could find the divine stone, but they were not qualified to use it. The remnants of the kingdom of God had obtained the divine stone, but they turned against the despaired.
If Tang Zhen was one of those despairing people, he would definitely run as far away as he could. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be helping the enemy sharpen their blades to kill him?
He didn’t dwell on this question and continued to ask, ” is there a higher level area in front of your city? ”
From Tang Zhen’s point of view, the answer would definitely be yes.
The spell caster hesitated for a moment, and nodded, indicating that such a place did exist.
Tang Zhen quietly mused that this was indeed the case. From the looks of it, this place was still not the end.
The spell caster continued, ” that’s the area where only oracles are qualified to go. It’s the holiest place in the divine Kingdom. Ordinary remnants of the divine Kingdom have no right to approach it.
Of course, the main reason was that there was a barrier that ordinary people could not cross.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’ve thought about it. Not only do you have to be strong to enter, but you’ll also have to pay a sufficient amount of divine stones.”
“In that case, the two of you are not qualified to go?”
“I’m not qualified,”
Tang Zhen wasn’t surprised by the spell caster’s answer. On the contrary, he felt that it was reasonable.
In fact, along the way, he had already discovered that the city of despair was actually a ladder-like existence.
The lowest District was the long Street of despair, where despaired people struggled bitterly, hoping to get a chance to get rid of their suffering.
After those who had the ability to leave despair Street and arrive at the city beneath their feet, they would have to head to the area that the spell caster had mentioned if they wanted to advance further.
According to the dwarf’s description, the city of despair that Tang Zhen understood was a city with several radial streets that connected to the central area.
But now, it seemed that the long streets were more like a ladder that gradually ascended to the top of the mountain.
In truth, Tang Zhen did not care about the shape of this city. He only wanted to know if he could retrieve his memories in the core region.
The two spell casters were at a loss when they heard Tang Zhen’s question. They did not know how to answer.
The mystery of the memory loss of the desperator was something everyone wanted to figure out, but until now, not many people could explain it clearly.
However, there were a few theories on how deserters came to be. One of them was that deserters were all chosen by God.
Their purpose of entering this place was to accept the test of the gods and then accept the gifts and inheritances of the gods.
Therefore, they were honored guests and should not suffer such unfair treatment. It was these remnants of the divine Kingdom who harbored evil intentions, which led to today’s situation.
Such a saying was only spread among the despairing, but the remnants of Scandinavia firmly denied it. They believed that everything here belonged to them, and that outsiders had no right to obtain it.
In their opinion, the reason why the despaired had entered this place was because they had made some kind of mistake, which was why they had to be sent to the divine Kingdom to receive punishment.
Everything that the despaired had suffered was what they deserved and not worthy of pity.
Of course, not many people debated this topic. It was because Tang Zhen mentioned this issue that the two spell casters brought up this matter.
In the following time, Tang Zhen asked a few more questions and the two spell casters answered them one by one.
Although they were law-enforcement officers, they were not omniscient. Even if they knew more than ordinary people, there was a limit.
Tang Zhen did not expect to find all the answers in one go. Right now, he was just like a puzzle. He was gathering useful information and clues bit by bit until he finally pieced together a complete answer.
After the inquiry, Tang Zhen did not bother about anything else. Instead, he found a clean place to rest.
The horned helmet sent a subordinate to deliver a letter to the city. They would not keep these soldiers for a long time, as the longer they did, the more they would lose.
They were already familiar with this kind of thing, so they did not have much fear. After his subordinates received the order, they immediately set out.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, they didn’t have much time left. If they couldn’t return before dark, then once night fell, it would be the true horror.
Under such circumstances, the messenger had no other choice but to find a safe hiding place or hide in the city.
What followed next was a long wait.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough he was in an underground cave, Tang Zhen could feel the surrounding air becoming restless. This was especially so as the sky was approaching dusk. This kind of restless mood started to become more serious.
Knowing that Tang Zhen and the others had just arrived, the horned helmet deliberately reminded everyone not to talk nonsense at night and to remain silent as much as possible.
If the monsters discovered their location and attacked them, they would be in a very dangerous situation.
After all, the number of monsters was endless. After a group of monsters was destroyed, more monsters would appear.
The monsters would only retreat and hide in the forest beside the road when dawn arrived.
This situation was somewhat similar to the long Street of despair. Every night, there would be night patrollers appearing, causing the despaired to be unable to rest in peace.
It was just that in this area, the night patrollers had become monsters, and their combat power had become stronger.
In the long Street of despair, a despaired person, equipped with excellent weapons, could even fight against a night patroller.
However, in this area, even with the armored tanks, they might not be able to resist the attacks of these giant monsters.
For example, the Dragon-shaped creature that they had killed earlier was not to be trifled with. With its huge body, it could easily flip over the armored tank.
The advantage of chariots no longer existed, and the way of fighting had to be changed accordingly. Originally, it was about the advantage of numbers, but now the demand for individual strength was getting higher and higher.
They had to adapt to the changes, or else there was no possibility of survival on the cruel battlefield.
However, compared to the large-scale armed desperators, this method of increasing individual strength in a short period of time was more than twice as difficult.
Tang Zhen might be able to arm the despaired within a short period of time, but he was unable to allow them to rapidly increase their individual strength within a short period of time.
...
The requirement for one’s strength would become increasingly higher in the subsequent journey. Most of the despairing people might only be able to accompany Tang Zhen until this point.
