Quadruple split.

Chapter 2335 Dusk Cage

"Ah! Sorry, sorry. Although I have come to my senses, I can't calm down when I think about the possibility of turning into that devil muscle man again."

Monica, who appeared beside Mo Tan a few seconds late, smiled awkwardly, then immediately lowered her head to check her physical condition. She let out a long sigh of relief only after confirming that she was still normal. She obediently took a half step back and stood behind Mo Tan without saying a word.

Obviously, the moment she guessed the other party's identity, Monica had already regarded Mo Tan as her supreme leader before she successfully returned to the Violet Empire to report. She completely gave up her personal opinions and followed the latter's will.

"Well, let me introduce myself again. I am the deputy leader of the Third Regiment of the Dusk Crow Eastern Expedition Army, Hogel Sid, a devout follower of the Blood God, and also the general manager of the legion at this stage."

The human paladin, who looked to be in his early thirties, had beautiful sea-blue eyes, a handsome face, and an elegant temperament. He nodded slightly to Monica, then slowly walked up to the two of them, smiling and confirming, "And the two of you are Mr. Anthony Dabbs and Ms. Monica from the Violet Empire, right?"

Monica didn't say anything, but just nodded calmly to Deputy Captain Hogel in front of her, without any intention of saying anything on her own initiative.

"Let's not talk about whether the two names you just mentioned are true or false..."

Mo Tan raised his head slightly and glanced at the handsome man in front of him who looked at least 0.4 Luke Tifilo, and said hostilely: "Since you can report these two names, it means that we have been under your surveillance from the beginning to the end, right?"

Hogel smiled and corrected him calmly, "Although what Mr. Anthony said is basically correct, I must remind you that it is not so much that I am monitoring you, but rather that you have forcibly entered this area that I am monitoring at all times. If we must argue who is right and who is wrong, it is obvious that the two uninvited guests are more offensive."

"Haha, look at what you said."

Mo Tan laughed in silence, spread his hands innocently and said, "We are just two innocent travelers who accidentally strayed into your territory. Even if we offended you, it was unintentional. As for you not saving my companion behind me... you really lost your manners."

[We are clearly here for their territory! Is it really okay for you to say such shameless things? They even overheard our calls! ]

Monica complained in her heart, but her expression became resentful and frustrated, and the look she gave Hogel was so innocent, aggrieved, and pitiful.

"In fact, most innocent travelers would be blocked from entering this divine barrier mediated by 'fog'. The fact that you two were able to break in is already not simple enough."

Hogel and Mo Tan looked at each other and said in a leisurely tone, "And the so-called 'standing by and watching someone die' is also biased. First of all, although I can understand part of what happened on the 'other side' to a certain extent, I can't influence the development of the situation. Besides, if you two hadn't found this chapel, I wouldn't even be able to talk to you."

Mo Tan whistled and asked bluntly, "You can't leave this chapel?"

"In principle, yes."

Hogel nodded first, then added: "But if something happens that I have to intervene, I can leave here for a short time."

Mo Tan nodded with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and said casually, "So that's how it is." Then he stopped talking and returned the initiative of the topic to the other party.

"Well, if you two have no objection, we can go to the lounge next door to take a short break and discuss the situation."

Although he was asking for their opinions, considering that Hogel had already started walking towards the oak door on the side of the pulpit when he spoke, it was obvious that he was just being polite and had no real intention of giving the two of them room for choice.

Mo Tan, who was very aware of being an "uninvited guest", did not make any trouble. He took Monica's hand and followed. Under the guidance of Hogel, they walked into the lounge, which was not spacious but had a relaxing atmosphere. He sat with the latter at the wooden table next to the fireplace.

Then--

"What year is it in the Holy Calendar now?"

Almost at the moment when Mo Tan's butt touched the chair, the extremely handsome paladin in front of him asked impatiently.

"It is now the 9571st year of the Holy Calendar, the 8th day of the Void Moon."

Compared to Monica, who had difficulty calculating the current date immediately because she had been lost for too long, Mo Tan, as a player, accurately reported the date without hesitation. You know, for most players, although it is not difficult to find a comparison table, there are actually very few people who really pay attention to the dates and solar terms in the game, and there are even fewer people who can easily tell the exact date at any time like him.

To the surprise of Mo Tan and Monica, Hogel did not show any emotion such as surprise, ecstasy, shock, confusion, puzzlement, or relief after hearing the date. Instead, he nodded slightly after a long silence and said with a sense of loss, "I see. Thank you, Mr. Anthony."

"No offense intended."

While Monica was still thinking about why Hogel showed such an attitude, Mo Tan asked directly: "But Captain Hogel, you haven't... forgotten the time, have you?"

"That's right, Mr. Anthony."

Hogel nodded decisively and said with a wry smile, "All this time, I thought I remembered how long we had been holding out, when we arrived at this place, what results we achieved on that day, and which important people we lost on that day. I thought I would never forget such things in my life, until just now, when I subconsciously tried to figure out how long we had been holding out here, I realized that I had long forgotten those...those..."

"I understand those days you think you'll never forget."

Mo Tan took over the conversation considerately and shrugged, "This is not uncommon. Many men think they will always remember their first date with their wives, their first kiss, and the first day of their lives. It is not until several years later, when they are kicked out of the house by their wives who are angry because they forgot their wedding anniversary, that they realize belatedly that their brains have never been reliable."

[Hey, hey, hey, although what you said is not wrong, it is completely different from the situation of this knight. ]

Monica, who was sitting next to Mo Tan, lowered her eyes, and just like most of the poor people who became Tan Mo's 'teammates', she maintained a calm appearance while beginning to complain crazily in her heart.

"I……"

Hogel, who was not in the mood to complain, sighed in frustration and said bitterly: "I thought I would never forget it."

"If the remains we saw before we 'closed our eyes' really belonged to you, then Deputy Captain Hogel, you probably have never forgotten those heavy and painful things in your life."

Mo Tan smiled and said gently, "After all, your 'lifetime' has ended. What appears before us now is more like a lonely ghost of some special nature, so you'd better think positively." [You really know how to talk.]

Monica finally couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mo Tan, and subconsciously reached for the dagger behind her. After all, in her opinion, what Mr. Tan Mo said was really hurtful. If it were herself who had forgotten her companions in [Female Bee] after countless years of perseverance, this girl who thought she was still calm didn't think she could resist taking action.

But Hogel held back, or rather, he didn't seem to feel that the other party was offending him at all. He just nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Maybe you are right, Mr. Anthony. Anyway, no matter what, I still have a mission to fulfill and cannot doubt myself."

"You're welcome."

Mo Tan casually defined the other party's words as "thank you" and said lazily: "If you have anything else to ask, please hurry up. If you have asked everything, then it will be our turn to ask."

Hogel, who had regained his composure, nodded and continued to ask cooperatively, "Then, I want to know, in the year 9571 of the Holy Calendar, on the 8th day of the Chant of the Sky Moon, is the [God-Exterminating Society] still active in our world?"

"No, as far as I know, the God-Destroying Society has disappeared since a certain expeditionary force consisting of more than 20 sects set out for the Southeast Continent."

Mo Tan had no intention of lying, and said very frankly: "So I have every reason to believe that the target of your crusade is the last living force of the [God-Destroying Society]. To this day, the existence of those guys has been almost completely wiped out, and ordinary people have never even heard of their names."

Hogel was stunned at first, and only let out a long sigh of relief half a minute later, revealing a relieved smile, and nodded continuously: "Okay, if that's the case, that's great."

"By the way, after the destruction of the God-Exterminating Society, the fragile alliances between the various sects disappeared in just a few years, and the nine law-abiding and good sects of Dawn, Fertility, Justice, Sun, Mist, Melody, Knowledge, Wealth, and Creation formed a force called the Holy Church Alliance. Today, it has become a behemoth with unparalleled influence."

Mo Tan raised his lips slightly and said leisurely, "As for the Moon God Cult, Blood God Cult, Dark Night Cult and other religions, they have gradually faded out of people's sight over the past thousands of years. Except for the Dream Cult, which is still relatively promising and has a piece of territory in the southwest continent, they have all been suppressed badly by the Holy Cult."

Hogel nodded and asked calmly, "But at least there won't be a situation where the Knight Commander, the Pope, or the God's Favored One is killed in less than half a year, right?"

"That's not the case."

Although he had said something that added fuel to the fire, Mo Tan did not intend to tell a meaningless lie in front of the deputy leader, and explained sincerely: "Although I don't have many friends who share the same faith, I can guess that compared to the years when the [God-Destroying Society] was highly active, the lives of us God... clergy must be much better than before."

As expected, Hogel smiled in relief and nodded, "That's good. In this way, the sacrifice of the [Dusk Crow Eastern Expedition Army] will not be in vain. Thank you, Mr. Anthony. Although this may be a bit exaggerated, you have indeed given meaning to our long wait."

"No need to thank you."

Mo Tan waved his hand and asked casually, "I'm just a little curious. Am I the only 'outsider' you've seen in these years? After all, from what you said just now, it seems that no one has ever told you about the outside world."

"It's not 'the only one'."

Hogel glanced at Monica who was sitting obediently next to Mo Tan, and said cheerfully: "To be precise, it should be you two."

Mo Tan smacked his lips and asked in surprise, "Why is this happening?"

"Because the divine barrier we created at the last moment was very powerful, powerful enough to isolate this place and keep it in its original state for a long time."

Hogel did not hide anything and said frankly, "Don't you think it's strange? How come I am only the deputy commander of the third regiment of the Eastern Expedition Army, but I can become the manager of this area? Where are those people who are far superior to me in terms of qualifications, ability and strength?"

Mo Tan grinned and said without hesitation: "He died. There are always casualties in war, especially when it comes to the [Destroying God Society], an extremely violent organization that was second to none in those days."

"Mr. Anthony is right."

Hogel, who seemed to have a very good temper, was not angry. Instead, he said in a calm tone, "Although we defeated the God-killing Society's Arms Master and the Five God-killing Beasts, we paid a heavy price. Even the Chief Judge of the Blazing Wings, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army and whose strength was already half a step to legend, was severely injured. If he had not 'accidentally' advanced in the final stage as agreed before, we might have rotted in this dangerous and treacherous swamp."

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes and reacted in less than a second. He chuckled and said, "I see. Although the use of legendary forces will be criticized by all major forces in the continent, it would not be so serious if it was only a half-step legend. And the moment of 'accidental' breakthrough in the fight... Haha, in this case, the [God-Destroying Society] without a legendary person in charge really has no chance at all."

"No, you are wrong, Mr. Anthony. The God-Destroying Society is not without legendary experts."

"Ok?"

"In fact, they have five legendary warriors."

"Wow."

"That's what Chief Judge Seraphim said when he and several of his colleagues chose to sacrifice their lives to merge his 'Inherent Barrier' into the combined great barrier [Twilight Cage] and handed over the entire Eastern Expedition Army to me. He said that the 'Master of Arms' of the God-Destroying Society released the power of the Five God-Slaying Beasts at the moment of his advancement, revealing their true colors of the Legendary Rank."

"And then?"

"Then Chief Judge Blazing Wings couldn't remember clearly. When he came to his senses, the Five God-Slaying Beasts were already dead or alive, and the de facto ruler of the [God-Destroying Society], 'The Lord of Arms', had also fallen."

“So this fog…”

"This is a 'legacy' left behind by a legendary expert at the cost of his life. It is impossible for an ordinary person to break in."

"Thank you so much~"
