Chapter 67 5 Mushrooms 2 Mushrooms
Moon City.
Many human beings have walked out of the buildings with mottled traces but extremely strong. Some of them are obviously deformed, and some have been alienated to a certain extent.
These humans glanced at each other and found certain doubts on each other's faces:
There are still two or three months before the sun ceremony, why did the high priest call everyone to the square?
Did something big happen? The residents of Yuecheng entered the only square from the streets with anxiety, fear and confusion.
At this time, the high platform was empty, and the convener did not seem to have arrived yet.
The residents of Moon City gathered together in an orderly manner according to the area they belonged to and discussed in a low voice:
"Why hasn't the high priest arrived yet?"
"Doesn't he like to wait and doesn't want to be waited?"
"What happened, why did you suddenly summon all the residents of the city outside the guards?"
...
One after another, on the top of a tower near the square, behind the crystal glass, High Priest Nim leaned against the wall and stared at the square while enduring something with a twisted expression.
His gray hair was raised up, tufts of short black hair grew on his face, and the blood between his ribs and waist wriggled, and lumps coagulated.
These abnormal changes sometimes disappear and sometimes appear, as if Nim is sick again and again, the whole person is both evil and terrible.
After more than a minute, Nim finally calmed down, exhaled a long breath, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
He was fighting against the madness accumulated in his body just now.
In fact, no matter which Extraordinary pathway is, the higher the sequence, the more serious the tendency to be crazy and inhuman, which will gradually surpass its own human nature, and must rely on the help of external anchors to maintain a sufficient balance.
Normally, in Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, this situation is not so obvious, and at the angel level, even if there are enough anchors to "fix", it will fall into a dark, negative, and abnormal state from time to time, and must endure it alone. And confrontation, waiting for de-escalation.
It is like a sacred and solemn existence,
Usually there seems to be no problem, answering your prayers, chatting with you normally, and even making a few jokes, but sometimes, you can only hide in a dark room, hiding in the shadows, tearing off the superficial skin, revealing The sinister side shows all kinds of crazy signs.
Nim, on the other hand, suffered similar pain in Sequence 4 due to the accumulation of toxins, pollution and madness due to his frequent consumption of monster flesh and blood.
Of course, Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, who do not know how to act and are promoted by time or luck, will do the same.
After adjusting his state, Nim turned to leave the room, and with the help of an illusory door, he appeared directly on the high platform in the center of the square.
All the discussions calmed down, and the residents of Moon City turned their doubts and uneasiness to the high priest.
Nim looked around and said bluntly:
"The hunting team led by Adal encountered an outsider."
Outsiders! The eyes of the residents of Yuecheng suddenly widened, and there was a feeling of thunder coming directly from the city.
For more than two thousand years, Yuecheng met an outsider for the first time! Of course, this refers to rationally intelligent communicating humans, not monsters.
Nim took a breath and continued:
"He claimed to be a missionary who spread the brilliance of the gods. He made the gray fog have a noticeable change. He removed the pollution and toxins accumulated in Adar and their bodies, and healed their body mutations."
While speaking, Nim nodded to the side of the high platform. Adar and Xin, who were hiding in the shadows, immediately passed through the torches and walked to his side, using their own situation to prove what the other party just said.
"hiss……"
"God!"
"This is Adal and Sin?"
"They really, really..."
Exclamations blurted out, astonishment and astonishment were intertwined, like substance.
Adal and Xin glanced at each other, took two steps forward, and told the original story of their hunting team.
Hear the blazing light emerging from the darkness, hear the cross that radiates pure light, hear the cane that heals mutation and disease, hear the gray-white mist splitting to the sides, and the manifestation of the gate, the hunting The residents of Moon City gradually fell silent after the team members' happy description of their good state.
Among them, some of them have shed tears unconsciously, that is because they are extremely tired and extremely depressed, and finally saw a light.
With a slightly mild and salty feeling, the tears flowed down his face, slid over the corners of his mouth, and fell to the ground.
In addition, the man who remained sane and sober raised his arm and expressed his opinion:
"Could that missionary be a special monster in the depths of darkness?"
"Are Adal and Xin already controlled and influenced to perform like this?"
When the wave of doubts subsided, Nim said in a low and clear voice:
"I have checked them, and I have also checked them with sealed objects, and I haven't found any abnormalities for the time being.
"I will let them continue to stay in the Black Tower for at least fifteen days of observation."
After making the promise, Nim paused and said:
"The missionary named Gehrman Sparrow will practice penance near the gray fog for a period of time. He allows us to go there to feel the brilliance of the god he believes in and listen to the corresponding teachings, and he will be in the lightning every day. Do a cleanse and heal most frequently.
"Everyone can choose to go, but they must report in advance, obey the arrangement, and can't act privately, which will affect the defense of the city-state, and those who go there, after returning, will be like Adal and Xin. sky."
The residents of Yuecheng were all silent, you look at me, I look at you, undecided.
At this time, after returning to the city to inform the high priest, Ruth, who had not been purified and treated, stood up with another member of the hunting team:
"High Priest, I want to go!"
"Okay, I'll lead this team tomorrow..." Nim nodded lightly and agreed.
He originally planned to give such a team a name, but he never thought of a good description, so he could only stammer and skip it.
In his heart, there is actually a name, but he dare not say it, it is:
Pilgrims.
With Ruth taking the lead, several Moon City residents stood up and expressed their willingness to take the risk.
When the lightning frequency changed from low to high, and a new day came, the Moon City team of seven or eight people, carrying animal skin lanterns, began to trudge in the darkness to the edge of the gray fog.
After the darkness and the light alternated many times, Ruth and the others suddenly saw a flash of fire in their eyes.
It was a bonfire that was slowly burning. Gehrman Sparrow, wearing strange clothes and hats, was sitting on the other side, holding an iron black long sign, and was baking something.
Around the bonfire lay the corpses of monsters one after another. On these corpses, there were all kinds of strange things. Some of them were white and plump, and it seemed that liquid would spew out when they were poked, and some had black as the base. , inlaid with blood-colored filaments and fat patterns, some covered with golden spots, and the top cover is the size of a palm...
These things are densely packed, covering different parts of the monster's corpse, with a seductive and seductive beauty.
Taking a few steps forward, High Priest Nim found that Gehrman Sparrow was roasting one of those strange things. A drop of grease fell, making a sizzling sound in the fire, making the light more obvious and making A tantalizing fragrance dissipated.
Gulu, the residents of Moon City in the team instinctively swallowed their saliva, resulting in a strong and uncontrollable appetite.
Every cell of them is screaming wildly:
I want to eat!
I want to eat!
feed me!
Klein, who was sitting on a rock, raised his head, pointed to the bright things growing on the corpses of monsters around him, and said in a low voice:
"They are called mushrooms, and they are divided into different types. If you want, you can pick and eat them yourself, but you can't touch the all-black ones, and they must be cooked enough to be eaten, otherwise you will encounter a terrible curse."
Moon City High Priest Nim thought for a while, and answered instead of the others:
"We want to first listen to the teachings of your Lord and feel His brilliance."
Klein nodded lightly, turned the barbecue sign he summoned from the historical pores, and said:
"You can sit down and listen."
When the seven or eight Moon City residents sat opposite the bonfire, he said solemnly:
"I came from the 'Royal Court of Giants'."
This is a term that the residents of Moon City are familiar with, and their spirits are immediately lifted. They shifted their attention from the things scorched on the bonfire and turned to Gehrman Sparrow.
Next, Klein described the state of Silver City and the situation outside the Damned Land as before, and talked about the city-state ruins he had seen along the way.
Listening to this, the residents of Yuecheng sometimes sigh, sometimes yearn, sometimes disbelieve, sometimes feel the same, and feel sad.
Halfway through speaking, Klein suddenly stopped, took back the long iron-black sign in his hand, brought it to his mouth, and bit down a mushroom.
The rich gravy oozes out, with a slightly hot feeling, baptizing his mouth.
——After more than half a year in the Land Forsaken, Klein has overcome his distaste for mushrooms. After all, Danitz is often assigned by him to do some things, so he cannot prepare food sacrifices carefully. Filled with mushrooms.
Closing his eyes with satisfaction, Klein handed out the long iron-black lottery in his hand, and said with a smile:
"You can try it."
High Priest Nim was still hesitating, but Russ stretched out his hand, got a mushroom down and put it in his mouth while thanking him.
He ate so quickly that his mouth was scalded, but his expression distorted and suddenly solidified.
Then, his expression stretched a little bit, gradually revealing a feeling of intoxication, enjoyment, and longing.
At the end, Ruth's tears flowed out unconsciously, and his voice choked and said:
"This is, this is the best, best food I've ever eaten..."
Even if the taste of food has changed from generation to generation, human beings cannot adapt to the toxins and madness, craving sugar and fat.
At this moment, all the residents of Moon City could hear Ruth's moving.
