Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 76 [The Brightest Light]

What does this sentence mean?
Isn’t Saint Quanti a saint personally canonized by the Sun God Church?
And Nikko was obviously a believer in the Sun God Cult, so why would he be holding a parchment book that denounced Saint Quanti as a pagan?

This aroused Ethan's interest. The answer might be in the book.

But we have to hurry on our way now. We can study it when we have a break.

And so they continued on their journey.

at the same time.

Somewhere in this historical mezzanine.

A figure wearing a gold-embroidered robe was walking slowly.

Suddenly, several ancient people rushed out from the building on the roadside.

However, before they could really get close to the man in the gold-embroidered robe, they were strangled to pieces by an unknown force when they rushed to about five meters around him.

The man in the gold-embroidered robe seemed not to notice the attackers at all and continued walking.

Then, as if he sensed something, he disappeared from the spot in a flash and appeared on the top of a taller building nearby.

He glanced at the vast city, took out something that looked like a pocket watch from his pocket, and opened it.

However, it was not a dial, but a flat black mirror with many red dots on it.

The moment he opened it, a red dot slowly went out.

"Another one just died. They died so slowly. I don't know if it will work this time..."

He muttered to himself and closed the lid.

And if there were people who often went to the gatherings of those with true names at this time, they would naturally recognize that this person was the King of Winters.

Still the same moment.

The people from the Kingdom Defense Bureau, who arrived a little late, finally broke through the space through the traces left by King Winster and his group, and entered the historical layer.

As soon as he entered this place full of decay and sticky green water, Heisenberg frowned.

"Something's wrong..."

"Boss, what's wrong?"

His men were instantly on guard, their quality was indeed first-class.

"The concentration of rules here is wrong."

Heisenberg sniffed and looked uncomfortable.

"This isn't the regular aura a two-layer space should have... I strongly suspect this is actually a three-layer space."

"Third floor?" His men's expressions changed slightly.

The situation in the three-layer state is much more complicated than that in the two-layer state, and it is also more dangerous...

"Could it be that... the legend is true?"

Heisenberg muttered to himself and took a step forward.

------

We continued on our journey for more than an hour.

This time everyone was much less tired.

This was mainly because Ethan had been continuously absorbing the green aura around him.

It was the corrosion of these auras that made everyone feel tired and their energy was depleted faster.

However, Shadow's legs were no longer able to hold on. Even with the temporary prosthetic limbs that Living Flame had helped to modify, they were still temporary and could not lead to long walks.

Besides, it's time to take a break and eat something.

So they found another roadside building and stayed there.

This time, they really checked the house from top to bottom, inside and out, even the underground was not spared.

Moreover, as Ethan continued to absorb the green aura, his perception of the ancients became clearer and clearer.

Just on the way, they killed three ancient people who were lying in ambush. Ethan had noticed those three ancient people from a long distance, and they killed them with almost no effort.

So, now they are a little bit safer.

After entering the building, Living Flame first adjusted Shadow's prosthetic limb.

"Let's rest a little longer this time. I'll give him some work so he can at least walk normally during this operation."

Although Huoyan seems a bit sly, he is not a bad person at heart.

Ethan nodded in agreement.

Shadow said thank you.

After arranging Shadow's legs, Huoyan opened his bag and took out a lot of things: "Okay, don't eat the dry food anymore, I have some good stuff here."

His pile of stuff included dried meat, cooking utensils, clean water, and even fruit.

"You guys just follow me and enjoy yourself. The others might starve to death in this shabby place."

He was right. This time entering the historical interlayer was very abrupt, and they only had a little food on them to fill their stomachs.

If you get stuck in there for a few days, even someone with a real name might starve to death.

Thinking of this, Ethan became even more afraid to think about Clay and Vincent's situation.

They have been lost for almost seven days.

They set up a fire, cooked soup, and baked bread, and the style of their painting changed from a secret adventure to a picnic.

Shadow ate a little and fell asleep. Anya was on guard beside him, and Huoyan was fiddling with his prosthetic limbs.

Ethan finally had the chance to take out the parchment book and continue reading.

After that sentence, which was considered extremely blasphemous in the Sun God Cult, there was a diary-like record.

"…In the year 3425 of the solar calendar, the month of Blazing Sun, the seventh day.

The third negotiation failed.

Saint Quanti, no, he is not worthy of being called a saint at all. He has already betrayed the Lord and become a lackey of the devil. He is already a traitor and a pagan. The church should deprive him of his sainthood and burn him alive on the stake!

He still refused to hand over the thing. Who did he think he was? Did he think that thing was really his?!
They said that if we hand over our things, those barbarians will lose their homes and die in the wind and snow. How ridiculous!

Those barbarians are not believers of the Lord at all, they deserve to die!

All the glory and authority in this world should belong to the Lord!

Heretics must die.

I have to think of a way..."

When he saw this, Ethan suddenly felt the 'name of the true God' vibrate again.

He looked up at the "Name of the True God" and saw the deep ancient characters slowly moving, and finally...

A new branch grew out and began to spread upward, eventually it went out of his sight and fell to the ground outside.

This is something completely different from the previous real name.

It is a bright point of light, very warm and pure, just light.

It did not eventually generate a new real name, but slowly evolved from that point of light into an outline.

It was the outline of a human figure, and at first glance it was difficult to tell what it was.

Slowly, the outline of the human figure became clear.
