...Why should I say again. +s·o_u.k/a?n¢s/h~u¨.?c+o!m?
Wait, could it be that... I'm not dead yet?
Klein tried desperately to open his eyes. He wanted to respond to Edward's prayers, but his consciousness, which had just regained some consciousness, was quickly submerged by the darkness coming from all directions, and he fell into a state of chaos again.
When his body reacted to these things, the only reaction was a slight twitch of his eyelids, and then there was no more reaction.
The four heads of Renitt all showed doubts and said one after another: "It seems that he...really...is...dead this time."
"But why... do I feel... hope of resurrection... in him?"
She stood up and said, "He should...survive...first."
...
A place forsaken by God.
Edward's prayers were like falling on deaf ears, and there was no response for a long time.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: No way, didn't Klein just escape from danger? It doesn't make sense that he would have problems again so soon?
There must have been some delay.
After all, Mr. Fool has his own life too, and it is impossible for him to respond at all times.
Thinking of this, he canceled the [World in the Painting] and Apparated again to return to Bernadette and the others.
As soon as she landed, Lilith couldn't wait to jump into his arms, pointed at Bernadette with her little feet and said, "Edward, she just tried to trick me!"
Bernadette: "…"
Edward was puzzled: "What are you trying to say?"
"She was trying to get from me who I was praying to."
Lilith raised her chin and snorted, "Ms. Lilith is not stupid, she won't be fooled, so I didn't tell her!"
Bernadette had a complicated expression. After several contacts, she thought Lilith was just a silly little cat spoiled by Edward. Unexpectedly, although this little girl was simple, she was not stupid at all.
But since it was revealed, she just said calmly: "Be careful of the evil spirit."
Edward suddenly realized, "Thank you for your concern, but the being I believe in is not an evil god." He paused and sighed, "Besides, how many evil gods in this world are more evil than the real Creator?"
She nodded slightly, and became more and more curious about why Edward could communicate with a god, or an evil god.
"So now you know how to leave?"
"Unfortunately, He did not respond to me."
Edward looked towards the darkness in the distance, hesitating whether to continue waiting here or to go for a walk in this God-forsaken land - he was leaning towards the latter.
Because he suddenly thought that this God-forsaken land seemed to be very suitable for the role of a wandering mentor - walking on this land was a kind of wandering, imparting knowledge and information from the outside world to thousands of people in Silver City and Moon City was a perfect match for a mentor, and leaving traces after walking.
"Do you want to go and see the God-forsaken Land?"
He gave the choice to Bernadette, and as a secret peeper, she naturally made a decision immediately: "Of course."
"Then let's go."
Edward picked up a few stones and turned them into lanterns. He then used a levitation spell to levitate them and surround them. He explained, "There are countless terrifying monsters in the darkness of the God-forsaken Land, so we must never let ourselves fall into darkness."
The two of them walked into the darkness.
In the God-forsaken Land, there are almost no roads in the normal sense. There are vast expanses of barren wilderness all around, and deep black is the main color of everything.
Occasionally, tenacious plants can be seen growing in the wilderness. They are strange in shape and extremely twisted, but Edward knows that they are not "new species" but are distorted by the remaining power of this land.
All around, in places where the lantern light could not reach, the night seemed to have its own life, wriggling silently and deeply, wanting to devour everything it covered.
"By the way, have you completed the promotion ceremony through this Backlund disaster?"
Bernadette nodded and shook her head: "Half done."
Edward was stunned: "Ah? There is a saying that the ritual is half completed?"
"My actions did help prevent the disaster from spreading further, but I was soon interfered with by others. By the time I repelled Him, the people from the Storm Church had already cleared the smog. Please help me, ~追′嶵,欣~璋-结."
She frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. "Logically speaking, my ritual should have failed this time, but I feel like the ritual is only halfway done. As for the remaining half... I'm still not sure what's going on."
Edward thought about it carefully. Perhaps it was because the Great Smog incident was just a prerequisite for George III to ascend to godhood. Although Bernadette's action did not directly prevent the Great Smog, it had an indirect impact on subsequent events?
Or was it because she still felt depressed because she hadn't met Emperor Roselle?
"Is this severe smog caused by the Witch Church?"
She nodded. "As you said last time, there was a witch who wanted to use this to digest the potion. I tried to find her at the time, but unfortunately failed. She must have used some special methods or seals to gain very advanced invisibility abilities. So I couldn't stop her. I could only find a way to control the spread of the poisonous fog, but unfortunately..."
Edward was silent for a moment. "How many ordinary people do you think will die from this?"
"Based on the scale at that time, there were at least thousands of them..."
Why--
He sighed secretly. At first, he had been struggling with whether or not to intervene and how to intervene in the smog incident. But when the day came, he was caught up in another matter.
I didn't have time to participate at all.
I hope Bernadette's actions can reduce the number of deaths as much as possible.
Lilith's sapphire-like pupils looked into the distance through the darkness and whispered, "Edward, there are so many scary things here."
"Um."
Edward thought for a moment and said, "Go check and see if there are any mice."
"mouse?"
Her ears twitched, and she really looked around with wide eyes, but soon her face was full of disappointment: "There are no mice, and those things don't look delicious at all."
Edward waved his wand casually, releasing a beam of fire that flew away. The light produced by the fire immediately dispelled the darkness there, revealing several extraordinary creatures that looked very deformed.
Without hesitation, it turned around and retreated into the darkness behind, but the flames suddenly accelerated and enveloped the monsters, burning them to ashes in an instant.
Bernadette said, "It doesn't seem that powerful?"
"It's just that we haven't encountered a strong one yet."
There are several demigods in the City of Silver, but every time they go out to explore, they must be extremely careful, because no one knows what kind of monsters are hiding in the darkness, and what kind of pollution these monsters will carry.
"You seem to know a lot about the God-Forsaken Land?"
She finally asked the question, "Did the real Creator tell you?"
"no."
Edward smiled and said, "Because there is a person from the God-forsaken Land who believes in that great existence just like me."
Bernadette was slightly surprised: "There are still humans in the God-forsaken Land?"
"Of course, they believe in the ancient sun god and have not changed their beliefs for thousands of years. Unfortunately, as the name of the God-Forsaken Land suggests, this land is no longer suitable for survival."
The people in Silver City have the seal of the harvest goddess Omibella, and they can eat black-faced grass, but the price is that they have to execute their relatives. The people in Moon City can only eat those mutated monsters, and the residents of the entire city have become deformed and terrifying.
After listening, she asked, "Are you going to meet that companion?"
"Let's talk about it later."
Edward hadn't decided yet, because at this moment, Little Sun Derrick hadn't confessed everything to the Chief yet, and rashly going to him might instead alert the City of Silver.
Besides, Edward didn't plan to stay in the God-forsaken Land for too long. As soon as Mr. Fool responded to him, he planned to leave here through experimental sacrifice.
What's more important is that one of Amon's clones is hiding in the Silver City!
The two of them and the cat walked along the dark road. Lightning flashed from time to time in the dark sky. The people in the Forsaken Land used this to tell time, but Edward brought a pocket watch with him.
Two hours had passed since they set out.
But Klein never responded.
Edward's mood was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning. He knew... Klein might really be in trouble again. But this time he couldn't even protect himself, so he really couldn't help Klein.
The key point is that Edward's main combat power now comes from the two Blasphemy Cards. If he fails to contact Klein, then when this time of silverfish is over, he will lose all his demigod abilities and become a Sequence 5.
"You seem to be a little confused all of a sudden. Why don't you take a rest for a while?"
Bernadette broke the silence and pointed to a collapsed ruin not far away. "Teach me Roselwen by the way."
Edward was startled, and suddenly remembered that Bernadette had said not long ago that she wanted to go on a "trip" with him and teach her Rosel language during the trip.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles for a long time, they finally realized their original plan in the God-forsaken Land.
Chapter 346 Teaching Bernadette Chinese
"Edward, I'm tired too."
Lilith whispered as she curled up in Edward's arms.
Edward immediately scratched her nose and said, "Why are you so tired staying in my arms?"
"I'm just tired~"
"Okay, okay, you have the final say."
They found a nearby boulder as a barrier. Edward took out a tent and set it up, then went in. "Come in."
As soon as Bernadette entered, she found that the tent was as big as a living room and there were some simple furniture inside. It was definitely luxurious for a rest in the wilderness.
An inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes, and she said, "This shouldn't be an ability that a traveler possesses, right?"
Edward looked puzzled: "What ability? Isn't this an extraordinary item?"
Bernadette's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, and she nodded: "Do you have any more of this extraordinary item? Sell me one."
"That's the only one."
Edward sat down on the soft sofa, and the fatigue in his body quickly slipped away. "I'll give it to you when we leave the God-Forsaken Land."
She said calmly, "My father told me that I should not accept gifts without merit, so I'd better pay for it."
"You are already a great favor to me by saving me this time."
"I'm not saving you. I'm just worried that if you die, no one will be able to help me translate my father's notes and teach me Rosel." After a pause, she continued, "Besides, I couldn't save you."
Bernadette sat down opposite him at this time: "Okay, it's time to teach me Roselwen."
