Chapter 356 The Empty City Stratagem
Gnomon Freon?
Shouldn't he be teaching something more fairytale-like?
By the way, how did Rosell manage not to kill him?
Xia Er thought about how the teenage version of Huang Beibei would swear, and felt that his relationship with Lao Huang was probably beyond repair.
Didn't I give you anything normal?
Of course, there was no way to ask that, so Xia Er could only smile and say, "I'm always very happy on your birthday."
"You don't want me to go to that tomb in the Misty Sea?"
However, this time Bernadette brought things up directly. With the abilities of an angel, going directly to the primitive island wouldn't have wasted much time, but Shael insisted on accompanying Klein and Gadriya on a trip to the ruins of the divine war.
Even now, Klein is already on a small boat, singing mermaid songs, and beginning his ascension to the rank of "Master of Mystic Puppetry." However, Shael still shows no intention of leaving, and Bernadette is not unaware of Shael's intentions.
But she had clung to a sliver of hope, and had somewhat avoided thinking about it. What was her father's condition that made Xia Er so reluctant to take him to see a doctor? Was he simply contaminated? Or...?
"Still alive, no, not quite dead yet."
Seeing Bernadette completely misunderstand and her eyes already so heavy that she was about to "collect Old Huang's corpse," what could Xia'er do?
"Then why don't you want me to go?"
"I want to hear the truth."
Bernadette breathed a sigh of relief, then deliberately emphasized the word "truth".
"Because he's sleeping, you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep."
Xia Er seemed reluctant to go.
"Fake."
Bernadette immediately sensed something was wrong.
"If you insist."
Shael waved his hand dismissively, "At least send the Future out of the Divine War Ruins, right?"
"Need not."
Bernadette tossed a bottle to Cattleya, then looked at Chael. "We can go now."
Moon Oil?
Xia Er recognized it; it must have been made by him. It was at least a level 1 sealed item, and a magical item capable of altering the environment. Bernadette had it. If, in addition to the various magical items Old Huang gave her, there were also the ones he had given her, it was hard to say how many good things this little rich woman possessed.
"Fairy Tale Magic: Anywhere Door"
The appearance of a seemingly ordinary portal is anything but a fairy tale.
Bernadette turned the doorknob, and on the other side of the door was a misty ocean.
Without any hesitation, Xia Er passed through the door ahead of Bernadette. Bernadette comforted Huang Jiajia and also entered the door. The two of them traveled directly from the coast of the Eastern Continent to the primitive island near the barrier of the Western Continent.
"Master, it's been a long time."
A blue robin flew over and landed on Xia'er's shoulder, nuzzling his neck affectionately. "Master, you have no idea how this woman abuses birds. She could have just stuck an eye in here, but she insisted on leaving me in such a dangerous place."
This can be considered a common ability of the Hermit Path high sequence, because there are more eyes, and it is possible to place a spying eye in various places, and hide it when not needed, only to observe and record. On the contrary, this method of using "delegated messengers" as eyes is somewhat low-end.
"Robin, you're still alive? That really surprises me."
"Xia Er didn't expect that he would actually create such a magical item." And why didn't Bernadette give this kind of beginner equipment to Huang Jiajia?
Robin the Blue Robin's ability to take someone's place is not enough to save an angel.
"Master, you have no idea, for the past hundred years, she has always treated me as you..."
Whoosh!
A fireball struck Robin the Robin with pinpoint accuracy, and with a strange sound, the Robin vanished, returning to its host, whose statue now resides in Bernadette's Emerald Palace.
"Why are you in such a hurry to silence me?"
"Did you stab me in the back?"
Chael glanced at Bernadette. She was surprised that she could be so cruel as to handle such a cute bird, and she seemed quite skilled at it.
"Teacher, if you want to catch up, let's do it another time."
"I don't want any potential contamination to spoil the gift you gave me."
Bernadette's words were grand and dignified. She turned her gaze toward the primeval island, where towering, dark green, almost black trees stood, displaying vibrant life.
"I can sense the danger just by being here."
Bernadette's spiritual warning was that if she, as an angel, went in, it might cause trouble.
"It's alright, it's relatively safe as long as it doesn't get dark."
Chael patted Bernadette on the shoulder, and a black velvet robe was draped over her shoulders. There was no doubt about the stain resistance of the Celestial Veil.
The two walked through the forest path and saw the corpses of many extraordinary creatures along the way. These corrupted creatures had all chosen to end their lives here after death.
"Did they remember to pass on their extraordinary characteristics to their descendants before they died?"
Xia Er wasn't sure if this was the influence of the Mother Goddess. His understanding had always been that what a mother gives must eventually be returned, like breathing, a mutual exchange of giving and receiving.
"Should they still try to save them?"
Bernadette looked at the five humanoid figures in the center of the large number of corpses and asked.
She recognized them—the knights who had followed Roselle back then, her uncles, and even... Edwards!
Why would someone who was buried in the Remnburg cemetery appear here?
These creature corpses surrounded a simple shrine made of dark red wood.
The shrine was empty, without any markings, as if these creatures were worshipping something that did not exist.
"The gate of my birth, the door of my death."
Xia Er remained calm, as if she had known all along.
Ok?
Even as a Sequence 2 angel, Bernadette was not able to understand immediately.
"This is the starting point, the starting point of life."
"New life will crawl out of these dying creatures and leave for other parts of the island, only to return here when it is time for them to reproduce."
Unlike Bernadette's caution, Chael retrieved some scenes that had occurred here.
As for the captured, eerie crimson moonlight... just cut it out, cover it with a layer of grayish-white mist, or add a mosaic, and it's as good as gone.
After being reminded by Chael, Bernadette also noticed that the males among these creatures showed signs of reproduction.
Because it was a normal delivery, not a C-section, Bernadette didn't pay attention to it at first.
"Uncle Green, Uncle William, Uncle Polly...they...aren't dead?"
Bernadette wasn't sure if this description was accurate, but their extraordinary qualities still remained within them.
Does the absence of precipitation characteristics mean it's not considered dead?
