Chapter 893 Killing
The next morning.
Lumian and the others had just had breakfast in the room, waiting for Ludwig to clean up the rest when they heard the sound of the doorbell ringing.
Outside the door was a half-giant boy over two meters tall, with long proportions of hands and feet, and short brown hair slightly curly, looking fluffy.
He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face was square, and after his eyes swept over Lumian, Franka, and Janna, he couldn't help but lower himself, looking at his toes and saying:
"I'm here to find Lumian. Lee, uh, it could be Lumianna. Ms. Li's."
He spoke Old Vsark.
"I am." Lumian understood that this should be a messenger sent by Mr. "Sun" to take him to the Twin Towers of New Silver City.
The Major Arcana card seemed to have deliberately found a teenager so that the height difference would not be too exaggerated.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly:
"I am ordered by the 'Council of Six' to take you to the Twin Towers to meet Derrick. Elder Berg."
"Okay." Lumian nodded to Janna and Franka, and followed the teenager out of the hotel and walked towards the twin towers in a corner of New Silver City.
On the way, the half-giant boy walked in front of the side, his back a little stiff, and occasionally showed a tendency to be with the same hands and feet, as if he had almost forgotten how to walk normally.
He looked back at Lumian from time to time, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only quickly straighten his head.
Halfway through the trip, he finally thought of a suitable topic, turned his body, and asked Lumian:
"You, aren't you worried that I'm a bad person? Maybe what I said about the 'Council of Six' order and going to the Twin Towers to meet Derrick. Elder Berg lied to you?"
I can kill thirty in one go like you...... Lumian just scolded and didn't say what was in his heart.
On the one hand, everyone is a believer in Mr. "The Fool", and they are not too familiar with it, so there is no need to ridicule it, and on the other hand, Lumian feels that if his sister Aurore is here, he will definitely not answer in a similar way.
He smiled lightly and said:
"Don't worry, because this is the new Silver City."
The half-giant boy suddenly became very happy, and said in a proud tone from the bottom of his heart:
"Yes, the Lord has always taught us to be kind and restrained, and our New Silver City strictly cracks down on all kinds of crimes, especially theft, fraud, and other behaviors......"
The half-giant boy opened the chatterbox and continued to introduce how Mr. "Fool" sent angels to save Silver City, how he gave Silver City the promised land, and how he and the people of Silver City built a new Silver City.
Lumian had heard these things several times when he was drinking in New Silver City, but he was not impatient at this time, so that the half-giant boy could continue to tell it smoothly.
He heard the happiness of peace and tranquility from the other party's description.
During this exchange, the two arrived at the Twin Towers, which are the core buildings of New Silver City, with a spire on the left side with public facilities such as a library, and a dome on the right, which is the office of the "Council of Six" that rules New Silver City.
Lumian instinctively set his sights on the round tower and found that in the gaps in the masonry near the ground, clumps of black plants that looked like hair grew, sometimes drooping, sometimes swaying, as if a breeze was blowing.
Last time he came, Lumian had also noticed this type of black plant, but he didn't take it to heart, but this time, he felt some kind of blood connection.
Everyone is a part of the "Goddess of Harvest" Omibella, or the continuation of life!
Even if the "0" level seal is sealed, will it have a certain impact on the outside world? Lumian retracted his gaze and followed the half-giant boy into the spire.
They stepped on large black stone bricks and climbed over huge pillars to the library on the third floor.
In front of the rows of oppressive bookshelves stood a tall man in a simple white robe.
The man was over two meters tall, his brownish-yellow hair was very neatly combed, and he looked like he was twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but his temperament was very calm and full of oppression, just like Mr. "Sun" that Lumian had seen last time, one of the big people at the top of the "Fool" Church.
"Elder Berg, Ms. Lumiana is here." The half-giant boy said respectfully.
His name is Derrick. Mr. Berg's "Sun" looked at Lumian, nodded and said:
"Follow me."
Lumian replied politely:
"Thank you."
The half-giant boy then waved his hand and walked towards the door, and after a few steps, he turned his body and shouted at Lumian's back:
"My name is Rujester!"
After saying that, Lu Jiest turned around quickly and staggered down the stairs.
Lumian followed Mr. "Sun" into the New Silver City Library and entered the innermost secret room, where a stack of scattered records was placed.
"This is all the records about the 'Gift of the Earth', and I have translated it into Old Fusac for you." Mr. "Sun" said simply, sat down against the wall, and stopped speaking, as if he had become a statue.
Lumian understood that this was to prevent him from having an accident while reading the material, so he nodded slightly, sat down at the table, and picked up the new stack of paper.
He looked at it very slowly, and it took nearly half an hour to roughly figure out the relationship between the "Harvest Goddess" Omibella and Silver City:
In the Second Age, when the Old Gods ruled the earth and sky, Silver City belonged to the Giant Court, and all its people were slaves to the giants.
But unlike other human subordinate forces in the Giant King's Court, the situation in Silver City is relatively much better, because they believe in and follow the Giant King, the subordinate god of the ancient god, the Giant Queen, the "Goddess of Harvest", Omibella.
In the records of Silver City, the giant queen Omibella has come to their city many times and has shown two images:
An image corresponds to light and beauty, with "a good harvest is gratifying, life is precious" as the core of the belief, and regards the people of Silver City as their own children, always allowing crops to be harvested, livestock and poultry to multiply in large numbers, and the population to grow rapidly, which is the main reason why the people of Silver City rarely suffer innocent massacres and do not lack food.
At that time, all the people of Silver City knew that "the ultimate harvest must be accompanied by the ultimate desolation", "only life can calm the anger of the earth", "death is a common and beautiful thing like new life, there is no need for fear", "we accept the gift of the earth, we have to pay the corresponding price" and other words.
If this image of Omibella comes, it will inevitably require bloody sacrifices, sacrificing a large number of humans, and even if the people of Silver City do these things and sacrifice their relatives, they will sometimes suffer a year-long famine - if they don't do this, the famine may last for three or five years.
Is this the era of the rule of the ancient gods? This is the case in Silver City, which is relatively good...... Lumian turned to the next page.
This page records the words of praise from the Giant Court to the Giant Queen Omegala, and one of the sentences that Lumian cares about the most:
"The noble queen used her motherhood to calm the great king to calm his emotions......"
What does this mean? Maternity...... By giving birth to a child to help the ancient god of the giant king get rid of superfluous extraordinary characteristics, and regain a certain amount of reason? Lumian continued reading thoughtfully.
After another quarter of an hour, he turned to the stage of rapid decline of the Giant Court:
Silver City, which had obtained another god-level seal, knew about the fall of the ancient god of the Giant King, and was worried that he and others would fall into the hands of an even more brutal demon king.
In such panic and uneasiness, one night without a red moon, the giant queen Omibella appeared outside Silver City.
This time, He did not come directly, but came step by step.
He was in a poor state, and He had the believers in Silver City perform a ritual to sacrifice half of His people to help him replenish his life.
The record of the following paragraph is very vague, but the result is clear:
"That night, people killed gods, ministers killed kings, and sons killed their mothers."
In other words, the strangely resurrected Omibella finally died at the betrayal of the believers in Silver City? Lumian wasn't too surprised.
After that day, Silver City discovered that Omibella's corpse had no truly extraordinary properties, but also possessed great power and terrifying authority, and they completely buried this history, hiding this secret, even though they later converted to the "Ancient Sun God", and did not tell the Lord the true origin of the "Gift of the Earth", a god-level seal, until Mr. "The Fool's" redemption angel came to save them.
At this point, the record of Omibella, the "Goddess of Harvest", is over, and the next is the information about the seal "Gift of the Earth":
"The Gift of the Earth naturally creates an edible plant in any environment and promotes its growth, reproduction, and harvest within a radius of fifty kilometers.
"The 'Gift of the Earth' will turn all human dead within a radius of fifty kilometers into terrible evil spirits, unless that human dies from the murder of an immediate relative, and those who have taken the food it created and have a strong connection with it will become evil spirits within three hundred kilometers......"
Seeing that this was different from the record of the official seal, Lumian suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. "Sun" sitting by the wall.
He asked suspiciously:
"Every human dead becomes an evil spirit?
"Will you not be able to sequence 5 during your lifetime?"
As far as Lumian knew, evil spirits are the strongest type of soul-type creatures, and their weakest should also have the level of sequence 5, and the stronger ones can be equivalent to demigods.
"Yes." "Sun" Mr. nodded calmly.
This is the ability of "Earth Gift" is terrifying, which is equivalent to being able to mass-produce extraordinary people in Sequence 5, some of which should be demigods...... Is this a "0" level seal? Lumian subconsciously judged from the aspect of combat effectiveness.
He asked tentatively:
"How many human dead can become evil spirits at a time?"
"I haven't tried it." "Taiyang" Mr. replied with a solemn expression.
Lumian suddenly woke up and quickly apologized:
"I'm offended."
He continued to read the information about the god-level seal - in New Silver City, the "0" level seal is called the god-level seal.
