Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

".misfortune?"

Derrick looked at the afternoon town in front of him with confusion. He didn't see anything strange. It looked no different from the dilapidated towns he had explored before, and he didn't feel any unusual atmosphere.

Before he could retract his gaze, the dilapidated ruins in front of him were pulled down like a dark and decaying curtain, revealing the bustling "Afternoon Town" behind it shrouded in dim light.

"This"

"This is?"

"Is this what the general textbook describes as 'daytime'?"

The sudden change in front of them triggered a discussion among the Silver City exploration team. As they spoke, they also tightened the weapons in their hands, watching the changes ahead with vigilance, and watching the people standing on the edge of the street in "Afternoon Town". That figure was wearing strange clothes and had a relatively short stature. Of course, this was just the short stature in the eyes of everyone in Silver City.

The next moment, they saw the man standing on the edge of "Afternoon Town" speak. The man spoke a language they didn't understand, but he could make them understand what he wanted to express:

"Fortunately, I prepared some spells to understand the language in advance."

"My experiments seem to have affected your exploration?"

"I'm very sorry. I will remove this illusion when I have perfected it. Well, if possible, can I ask you to provide some help. I don't know much about the past of this continent. The illusion I created is also There are many loopholes for which I can pay you, the information you need, or potion ingredients and recipes.”

Colin, who is the chief of Silver City and the leader of this exploration team, did not reply immediately. He knew clearly that some monsters could create horrific effects through twisted language.

The members of the exploration team standing behind Colin also looked at the sudden appearance of this strange man with vigilance. For a moment, except for the sound of lightning in the sky, there was no sound.

Derrick, who was standing in the center of the exploration team, frowned slightly and looked at the figure standing on the edge of Afternoon Town. He always felt that the other person was somewhat familiar.

Have I seen him? Impossible, I don’t know anyone outside of Silver City at all, and he is definitely not from Silver City, so such a height is impossible.

Seeing that no one spoke, Renekton sighed helplessly and waved behind him. A crystal ball with twinkling stars inside flew into his hand.

The starlight in the crystal ball quickly converged, and the "Afternoon Town" that was originally shrouded in the light of dusk quickly lost its color, became withered, dilapidated, and lost its vitality. The buildings also collapsed and returned to their original appearance.

After lifting the illusion that enveloped Afternoon Town, Renekton looked across at Silver City Chief Colin Iliad, who was standing at the front with gray hair and heavy decree lines. He smiled and said:

"Can you communicate with me now? As a 'demon hunter', you should be able to easily tell whether I have malicious intentions."

"Besides, I'm stronger than all of you here combined, aren't I? You have no room to resist whatever I want to do to you. 'Titans' above sequence five are just more resistant to beatings."

Perhaps it was Renekton's too straightforward words that made everyone in the Silver City exploration team look unhappy.

Derrick, who holds the Hurricane Ax in his hand, has two miniature suns "contained" in his eyes. His vision is particularly clear in the dark environment.

Opposite him, Renekton, standing on the edge of the street in Afternoon Town, holding a crystal ball emitting light blue fluorescence, always gave him a familiar feeling. In his mind, the figures of the Tarot Club members emerged one by one. After that, we finally stopped at the 'White Tower'.

Really similar! Mr. "White Tower" has come to the land abandoned by God? But I haven't heard him mention it. Should I ask the other party now, or should I wait until the next tarot meeting to confirm with Mr. "White Tower"?

While Derrick was thinking, Chief Colin, who was standing at the front, had already spoken in a deep voice:

"Are you from the outside world?"

Renekton nodded calmly and said:

"Yes, on the sea to the west of the Giant King's Court, there is a sea of ​​ruins where the ruins of the God War have evolved. From there, you can enter the Land Abandoned by the Gods."

".A place abandoned by God?" Colin murmured in a deep voice, and then asked:

"In other words, as long as you cross the Giant King's Court, you can leave here through the sea of ​​ruins and enter the outside world?"

All the members of the Silver City exploration team looked at Renekton, with some expectation in their eyes. Even if they didn't believe this sudden appearance, they already wanted to get a definite answer. At least, it showed that their efforts were right.

Renekton shook his head lightly and said:

"No, it's one-way. You can only enter, not go out."

Colin had no expression on his face. He just tightened his right hand holding the straight sword tightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Then you don't plan to leave?"

"Being an angel, I naturally have the ability to leave here, make mistakes, and take advantage of mistakes. Amon is not the only one who can do this."

After a pause, without giving Colin a chance to continue asking questions, Renekton continued:

"You want to ask if there is a way to get the entire Silver City out of the land abandoned by the gods?"

"Of course there is, it's in the place you plan to explore, but with your Silver City's current strength, it's not enough to explore there."

The face of Chief Colin of Silver City suddenly became serious. The straight sword he held tightly in his hand reflected a sharp light like the dawn piercing the darkness. His eyes were tightly locked on Renekton. If anything went wrong, he would Take action directly, even if the other party shows no direct malice, even if the other party is probably stronger than you.

"Are you Mr. White Tower?" Behind Colin, Derrick suddenly asked loudly. His voice was a little nervous and still had the childishness of a boy who had not completely shed it.

Renekton looked past Colin and locked onto Derrick, who was in the center of the crowd behind him. He had brown hair and was tall, nearly 1 meters tall.

His eyes stayed on Derrick for a while, and Renekton suddenly chuckled:

"Congratulations, you got the answer right! But there is no reward."

Derrick didn't pay attention to the vigilance of the members of the surrounding exploration team and the sudden distance between him. He looked at Renekton with some doubts and asked curiously:

"Mr. White Tower, why did you come to the Land Abandoned by the Gods?"

"Looking for opportunities to be promoted to 'Sage', and also looking for some high-level characteristics of the 'Perfection' path. In the outside world, most of the characteristics of this path are controlled by the Church of Steam. I can only put my hope here, isolated from the outside world. ”

Renekton briefly explained, looked at Colin who was still wary of him, chuckled and said:

"I have cleaned up the remaining monsters in the town this afternoon. If you are not afraid of me, you can stay inside or explore. At least it is much safer than sleeping in the wilderness."

"I won't stay here for long. I will leave when I complete the illusion."

After speaking, Renekton turned around and walked deeper into Afternoon Town before anyone in Silver City could give a reply.

Colin kept staring at Renekton's back until he completely disappeared from his sight, then he turned to look at Derrick, who was surrounded by the exploration team vigilantly.

Looking at Derrick who looked a little flustered and at a loss due to everyone's isolation and vigilance, Colin sighed softly and said in a deep voice:
