1218 Clue (2/2)
This doesn't match the suspicious and cautious nature of the Dark Demonic Wolf… What frightened ”Him” so much that he fled in such a hurry? ”He” didn't even have the time to silence the people who saw ”Him”… Or rather, there's something special about the people guarding Moon City under the ancient sun god's revelation, and unless it's necessary, the Dark Demonic Wolf wouldn't attack them? Klein continued without any change in his tone, ”Did it leave any tracks?”
”No.” Nim firmly shook his head. ”Other than the hill turning into a deep crater, we didn't discover anything unusual.”
As his thoughts raced, Klein tried to ask from another angle.
”When did this happen?”
The more he understood an object from the past, the more he could make contact with it in the fog of history.
After some thought, Nim said, ”Two years ago, two months, and ten days ago.”
He immediately explained, ”There are too few things worth recording. It left a deep impression on me.”
Two years ago, two months and ten days ago… Currently, it's 8th September 1351, and subtracting that time, it would be 28th June 1349… This… Klein's right hand suddenly trembled slightly.
His pupils and his expression were normal, but this was a result of using his Clown powers to control them.
He remembered very clearly that on 28th June 1349, he had ”transmigrated.” It was the day he became Klein Moretti, it was the day he repeated the luck enhancement ritual and entered Sefirah Castle!
The abnormality here, the appearance of the Dark Demonic Wolf, and the hasty departure of this Mythical Creature were all related to me? A huge wave of emotions surged through his heart.
For a moment, he couldn't find an explanation and pretended that nothing had happened. He thought for a moment and asked, ”Did something similar happen in the past two to three thousand years?”
”No.” Nim gave a clear answer.
”What about two hundred and eight years ago? Did anything special happen?” Klein asked.
That was the time when Emperor Roselle ”transmigrated” to this world.
After hesitating for two seconds, Nim said, ”I can't tell you the answer. I need to go back and read the corresponding records.
”Thankfully, the information and documents in the past three centuries haven't been damaged.”
At this point, he added, ”My limited impression tells me that there shouldn't be anything special.”
If that's the case, then the cause of this anomaly was because I entered the world above the gray fog and bound Sefirah Castle to myself? Klein nodded slightly and didn't ask further. He simply said, ”Tell me where the crater is.”
By the time the High Priest, Nim, gave an answer, the mushrooms that the residents of Moon City had grilled could be eaten. Some of them took a small bite of the white mushrooms and were scalded by the milk inside. They couldn't bear to spit it out. Some chewed repeatedly, reminiscing over the faint sweetness. Some of them couldn't stop eating at all.
Nim was taken aback by what he saw, as though he couldn't believe that these people were from Moon City.
Every one of them was showing the conflicted looks of having cravings and being satisfied. Their expressions looked twisted, but they were brimming with pure joy.
”High Priest, try it as well.” Rus, whose eyes were very close to each other, handed a mushroom covered in golden spots that emitted a unique and sweet fragrance to Nim.
After hesitating for a moment, Nim carefully used the ” magnifying glass” to take a look before taking the mushroom and stuffing it into his mouth.
In the next second, his expression changed slightly as he slowly closed his eyes.
He had a taste of something similar from some mutated tree roots, but it wasn't as pure or memorable.
After an unknown period of time, he looked at the indifferent Gehrman Sparrow and said with an abnormally sincere tone, ”Your Excellency, we would like to listen to Mr. Fool's teachings.”
I haven't had the time to make it up yet… However, as I'm getting closer and closer to being an angel, the corresponding matters should be prioritized… The anchors need to be prepared in advance… As his thoughts raced, Klein recalled what he had said when he had tricked—no, come up with to reform the believers of Sea God.
His expression quickly turned solemn as he raised his right hand and grabbed at the void. He pulled out a cross covered in bronze and sharp spikes.
Following that, he pressed his right thumb onto a thorn, letting the blood enter the Unshadowed Crucifix.
The bronze-green surface of the Unshadowed Crucifix quickly peeled off, revealing a body made of pure sunlight.
”God said…” Klein opened his mouth and said in a low voice as he raised the resplendent cross in his hand a lot higher.
Warm and bright light surged out like a tidal wave, instantly filling the surrounding area.
The darkness and discomfort accumulated in the bodies of Nim, Rus, and company began to rapidly melt away; It was as if their bodies were being cleansed.
They were in a daze when they heard the oracle, who was holding the resplendent cross and covered in holy radiance, solemnly say, ”God said…
”First Commandment: Thou shalt not sacrifice unto me living human sacrifices.”
”Second Commandment: Thou shalt not use my name in vain.
