Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Klein looked at the golden ocean outside the window, his eyes flickering.

They reached the ocean early in the morning.

But just now, the sunlight outside the window suddenly became brighter and shone in fiercely, making the dining room extremely messy.

The boundless ocean outside seems to be burning with golden flames, and it seems to be in a state of noon all the time!
Klein raised his head, squinted his eyes, and saw that the mid-air was filled with direct sunlight. There were no clouds, and the sun could not be seen. It was all golden.

The description of Arrodes by the magic mirror is an unreal ocean, which belongs to the place left over from the war of the gods.

Looking across the room, he found a ruin not far ahead obliquely.

Most of the ruins were submerged by sea water. Beyond the plane were gray stones and stone pillars stacked into peaks, and there was a dome-like thing on the top. It relied on its own curvature to prop up a large space.

The ruins must have been huge!
Through the transparent seawater, Klein saw that its lower part spread all the way to the bottom of the sea without end.

"The ruins of the battle of the gods."

Klein whispered, the 'sun' belongs to the authority of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun'.

This is the former battlefield of the gods, and it still echoes with the remaining power of the battle of the gods.

Besides the 'Eternal Sun', there may be remnants of the power of other gods.

However, there is no record in history of this 'war' that once triggered a war between several gods.

But Klein has vaguely guessed the answer——

Because judging from the secrets he knows, there is only one God War that he clearly knows.

That is, the time when six of the existing seven gods attacked that ancient sun god at the same time!
"This is a very dangerous ocean." 'Admiral of the Stars' Cattleya came to the side at some point.
-
"abyss."

Bernadette murmured in a low voice, the pupils of her eyes lost anxiety, and she seemed a little absent-minded.

They have left the seemingly endless dark ocean and arrived at the seemingly endless mountain peak.

Behind the mountain is still a boundless black mist, which seems to cover an entire continent in the haze.This is her first time entering the abyss, and it is probably the last time.

After all, if it wasn't for the puppet's request, she would never set foot in this field in her life.Regardless of whether she can leave the abyss safely, this will be the last time she comes here.

It's just that this abyss is completely different from what she imagined.

It was very still, deathly still.

It is rumored that the abyss is a paradise for demons, but so far, they have seen nothing along the way.

Not to mention demons, even the corpses of demons have not been seen!

Descending along the mountain peak, there is a winding road that seems to be able to reach the continent shrouded in black mist.

But if you look from the top of the mountain to the bottom, you will find that there seems to be no bottomless abyss below.

Bernadette had a premonition——

If she didn't go down the mountain path, but jumped down with the strength of an angel.

She will be forever in the fall, never reaching the end.

Bernadette's eyes were full of vigilance, even though she was an angel.

Because there are always some mighty forces in this world that even angels cannot resist, and the abyss is just one of them.

Bernadette was about to cautiously continue to explore downwards, when the petite doll on her shoulder suddenly said:
"Stop it, right here."

Bernadette stopped in her tracks, with a little confusion in her eyes.

We have come here, shouldn't we continue to go deeper?
As soon as this thought occurred to her, a full moon suddenly appeared in front of her eyes——

It was a round of cold and dark mysterious moon. It rose from nowhere and hung high above the abyss' sky. Can not stop the spread of the moonlight.

Bernadette's breathing stopped because she had seen this moon.

But that was beyond the starry sky, and now the moon reappeared in her sight, in the abyss.

Under the moonlight, the entire abyss seemed to boil.

The world was dyed dark blue by the cold and dark moon, and the tumbling black mist quickly disappeared into nothingness.

The original mountain peaks and the bottomless abyss all disappeared, and only the cold full moon was left in front of me, surrounded by the endless blue ocean.The ocean was like a mirror, reflecting Bernadette's figure, but she couldn't see what was hidden under the ocean.

But the next moment, the scene in front of Bernadette changed again.

Her vision penetrated the sea surface, and she saw the endless black mist below the sea surface, and the continent shrouded in black mist.

Can be suddenly.

The black mist covering the continent suddenly vibrated, and the liquid-like mist seemed to roll up turbulent waves at this moment. The waves undulated and boiled endlessly.

And under the boiling 'Black Sea', the mainland slowly 'stands' up!
Only then did Bernadette suddenly see clearly, what kind of continent is that?

That is clearly a giant snake like a continent!
The thick and chubby body can't see the end at a glance, as if it is boundless.With His 'rising', the black mist was separated, as if avoiding their master, their king.

On that ferocious snake's head, two scarlet eyes were staring at them, staring at the cold and dark moon!

Whoosh!
The giant snake spit out scarlet letters, and suddenly opened its huge mouth to bite them!

Bernadette withdrew her gaze in horror, and at the same time, the giant snake rushed into the moon's domain.

On the surface of the blue sea, a terrifying giant snake was hovering around a corner, spitting out snake letters and staring at them.

Bernadette regained her composure a little, but there was still unspeakable fear in her heart.

That giant serpent is without a doubt a true god!

Even though he looks extremely ferocious, like a beast without sanity.

Even if his current size has shrunk by more than tens of thousands of times, from the size of a continent to only the current one is less than a hundred meters long.

But He is always a god!
The petite puppet said lightly:
"Lackard."

The giant snake stared at her stubbornly, but kept circling its body, not daring to rush forward.

The giant snake named Lakad turned sharply and faced them with the back of the snake.

And on the snake's back, between the hideous snake scales, a huge hideous human face was watching them.In other words, staring at the petite doll on Bernadette's shoulder.

The expression on the human face seemed a little dignified, and he said in a deep voice:

"leave here!"

The eyes of the puppet were always calm, without any waves, and said softly:
"You seem to have regained some sanity."

Rackard said in a deep voice:

"I have been liberated, Lani!"

Lani turned a deaf ear to it, and said in a calm manner:

"That's good. Now you can better fulfill the mission entrusted by the king."

"Lani!"

"Ok?"

The petite idol tilted his head in some doubts, looked at the giant snake roaring in anger, and asked softly:
"So, what do you want to say?"

Rackard said in a deep voice:

"Lani, I am your elder brother, you should set me free!"

Lani was unmoved, and calmly said:
"My elder brother died the moment he was devoured by you, and what is left is just a lingering undead snake. You can inherit his name just because I like to call it that way, it doesn't mean that you are really him .and,"

Lani touched her fingers, and her tone became indifferent:

"It was the king's kindness that allowed you to live until now. What do you mean, you don't want to continue to serve the king?"

Rakkad had been her older brother, and as brother and sister they had been each other's most loyal allies during the Shattered War.

Even that night of intrigue involved Lackard.

Before Wang appeared, Lakad was the No. 1 choice in her plan.

Unfortunately.

The overlord who was once full of ambitions finally fell into the taboo of immortality. He became an immortal serpent and devoured all the noble knights who had served him. The once noble king only had the most humble greed left.

The reason why he can live until now is entirely because of the king's kindness.

If he tries to live up to this kindness, then he has no need to live.

Lani's expression was extremely calm, as if she was just reminiscing with her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

But even Bernadette, who was a bystander, could hear the cold murderous intent contained in that indifferent voice.

Lakad's huge snake body suddenly lowered its head and circled into a ball, with a low voice on its face:

"the last time."

"it is good."

Lani nodded slightly, and calmly withdrew her gaze.

Not surprisingly, this will indeed be the last time.

"As for you..."

Lackard stretched the snake's head again, and leaned towards Bernadette, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"You have a smell that I am familiar with~"

"Ah, I remembered, it's Him! Are you His daughter?"

"His?"

Bernadette's eyes flickered, and she asked in a low voice, "You, you know my father?"

"of course."

A flash of memory flashed in Lackard's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice like an old man:

"Your father once came to the abyss, and we worked together. It was a very pleasant experience."

"What's his name? Ah, yes, Russell, Russell Gustav."

Bernadette's expression moved slightly, she had never heard her father say this.

Not only her, but no one in the whole world knows that Russell Gustav has ever been to the abyss!
Is he hiding it on purpose?Or is it covered up?When did that happen?
If he had been to the Abyss, where else?Has he traveled to other areas that are considered taboo?

"Bernadette."

Rackard suddenly muttered in a low voice, "Ah, I remembered, Bernadette, He often mentions you in his dreams."

Bernadette's expression became more and more complicated, just like her feelings for her father.

"he……"

Bernadette was silent for a long time, and asked hesitantly:

"In your eyes, what kind of person is he?"

The petite puppet watched all this calmly, neither trying to interrupt their conversation nor obstructing it.

Lakad pondered for a few seconds, as if he was thinking, before he smiled and said:
"Crazy, stupid."

"Your father is very crazy, but unfortunately too stupid, so the only thing he can be remembered for is failure."

Bernadette remained silent.

In his later years, he was indeed extremely crazy. He personally destroyed the kingdom he had built.

So from the perspective of outsiders, he was crazy and stupid at the time.

But Bernadette always thought there was something else hidden.

And right now, a god's evaluation of him is also crazy and stupid.

What did he do?
A strong urge suddenly surged in Bernadette's heart, wanting to know what her father had done!
Because she suddenly found that her understanding of him was only superficial!
Bernadette didn't know why he came to the abyss, and why he got involved with Lacard.What happened between them, and what did they plan specifically?
He suddenly turned the republic into an empire, is there any influence of other gods behind it?
Could the things he did in his later years be manipulated by others?
-
Time passed by, and lunch was soon ready.

Klein was about to leave the deck and go to the dining room, when suddenly he noticed that the surroundings suddenly became dark!
The sky, which was always at noon, had lost the sunlight and was completely shrouded in thick darkness.

The change was so fast and abrupt that Klein's first reaction was to turn off the light!
Silently, the "Future" was covered with a layer of bright stars, illuminating the roads leading to everywhere.

"The Hermit" Cattleya's slightly magnetic voice was amplified again, echoing in everyone's ears:

"Go back to your room, or just find a corner, and let yourself fall asleep.

"Then wait for nature to wake up."

"Toxin expert" Frank Lee asked loudly with some doubts:

"What will happen if you don't sleep?"

At this moment, his voice was booming, as if a giant bear was talking.

Cattleya stood behind the window of the captain's cabin and said:
"When we wake up, we will find that you are missing and will never be found again."

Klein raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't doubt that Cattleya was scaremongering.

Because what happened just now has confirmed that Cattleya has a certain understanding of this place, and Klein is also grateful for the first time that he hired Cattleya the 'Hermit' instead of the 'Hanged Man'.

Otherwise, as early as 'noon', they would have been burned to ashes by the golden carriage that suddenly appeared because they looked up.

He just wanted to get up and go back to the room, but Cattleya's voice suddenly came from beside his ears:

"Night brings us into a shared dream."

"Dream?"

Klein's expression moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Same as another dream?"

Cattleya was not with him, but he believed she could hear, since it was on her boat.

And the other dream he knew of naturally refers to the dream created by Kalula.

'The Hermit' Cattleya was silent for a while, then said softly:

"Similar, but more dangerous, don't explore deeply."

Klein's face turned serious. Since 'Cattleya' said so, of course he wouldn't risk his life to explore the dreamland.

However, Klein suddenly had a bold idea——

What if he prayed to Kalula at night and entered the dream of 'Dark Soul'?
In other words, if two dreams are pulling him, which one will he enter?
Or is neither of them accessible?

Cattleya said nothing, and Klein didn't dare to delay. He didn't try to enter above the gray fog, and he didn't really try to frantically drag between the two dreams.

Instead, he quickly returned to the room to let himself fall asleep. He didn't dare to challenge the mighty power of the gods casually.
