Matru continued to talk to himself as if he didn't hear the footsteps behind him.
"This town is supposed to belong to the northern part of the Star Kingdom, but you can't hear the howling of the wind. When I first came here, I didn't doubt this."
All three scarecrows stepped onto the stairs. Broken strips of cloth covered their skeletons, mixed with glass and straw.
"That kid from Chabron said that he had a lot of knowledge from other worlds in his mind overnight. I know he was not referring to [Sea of Stars] (Star Boundary/Outer Plane) or [Elemental Chaos] (Elemental Realm).
The construct monsters made of straw have no living faces. Their "heads" are a hollow gourd and a carved face.
"Leave [the company], adopt a child, and then set foot on this abnormal land. Is the course of the story your will or the arrangement of fate itself - or is there no difference between the two?"
Behind him, a grinning scarecrow in coarse cloth walked slowly forward, with burning light emitting from his eyes.
"Another family of strangers, Jax and the two children he brought - Arya and Anluo - also hide a secret. They think they have hidden it well, but what flows in their veins is something I am all too familiar with.
smell."
The constructed killers driven by spirits, although their bodies are light, walk slowly, twitchingly and staggering. Its burlap eyes and split mouth are full of malice.
"When the matter in Fengxi Town is settled, I will take Xia Bailun to Wangji - Hongbao, the jewel in the crown of the starry sky, the arcane city known as the miracle of the Western Continent, so that he can see with his own eyes the magic city that reaches into the sky.
The Thousand Layers City. [Pangloss Company]’s Site 13 and my descendants are also there.”
Three scarecrows quietly approached Matruh's back. Their bodies contained unresolved souls, and their hands had sharp claws made of long, rusty knives.
"Mela passed me the [Short Message Technique]. She told me that the God Emperor of the Eastern Continent Empire has issued an edict. In the east of the kingdom, the war has started long ago. The emperor of the empire, who is a god, has vowed to unify the Eastern Continent.
, the army of the God Emperor has cooperated with the anti-government armed forces of the small country that believes in [Lord of Punishment]. The fall of the four countries is only a matter of time. The geographical barrier that isolates the Star Kingdom and the Yellow Sand Empire will no longer exist at any time.
"In the parliament, the Star Party and the Conservative Party are still arguing over the rights of undead citizens, or exploring whether openly supporting the religious regimes of several island countries is contrary to Star Dome's official image of supporting secularization.
"Several major warlock families are fighting openly and secretly. The Midwinter Dynasty is in danger. The cults that believe in the old rulers and ancient evils have never been wiped out. [Twilight Oath], [Moon Bay Night Thorn], [Elf Restoration Council], [Gnome Restoration Council]
Undercurrents of the Renewal Movement, the Order of the Chaos Blood, and the Separatists of the Mechanicum surge in the shadows of the Magic Kingdom."
The scarecrow stared at the prey, like a predatory beast, completing the action of a hungry tiger pouncing on food. Its sharp claws were coated with a supernatural dim light.
"I will get the answer to your question when we meet again."
Matru turned around.
His bright irises, which were incompatible with his age, reflected the image of three scarecrows jumping into the air and rushing toward him...
-------------
On the other side, the young man's emerald-green irises could only reflect the endless curtain of rain.
The rain curtain swayed, and the young sun priest ran under the pure white curtain.
The boy stepped into the puddle, but the sound of splashing water was barely audible amid the sound of rain. The raindrops shattered into pieces of jade on the little priest's scales.
The wind is getting lighter and lighter.
Then it stopped.
The curtain made of raindrops became vertical again, and the blond boy ran through it.
Behind him, the flying pursuer came through the rain curtain.
Although the iron book in the square has been destroyed, there are many other iron books in the town that are intact.
In order to hunt down this opponent who sabotaged the plan twice, they flew out of the windows of every house and poured into the rain.
They passed through alleys, skirted large trees, and passed over the tops of limestone houses...
They gathered in a group behind the blond boy and pursued him relentlessly.
The fastest flying iron book flew over Chabron's head and blocked his way. Behind him, the iron books were chasing one after another.
They flapped their "wings" and rushed over, relying on the momentum of their high-speed flight to slam into Chabron with their metal covers.
The blond little priest dodged left and right, and was in a dilemma, but the sound of the iron books and scale armor clashing was still drowned in the rain.
【-2】······
Numbers that only the blond boy could see lit up on his head. Although the armor and dexterity on his body helped him withstand most of the attacks, the iron book's attack was still too fast and he was inevitably injured.
[Rule Aura] did not deprive him of the ability to feel pain. The beautiful young man felt that he had broken several ribs. There must be many bruises under the armor, and the burning pain was spreading. The good news is that he did not cry.
However, that's the end of it.
Chabron held the Holy Emblem tightly and channeled the positive energy with all his strength, and the golden light condensed on the Holy Emblem spurted out.
Then, the blond boy himself turned into a rising sun.
【Guide Divine Power·Dawn】
The raindrops evaporated.
The light engulfs the world in front of you.
When the halo of dawn fades, nothing remains.
The vast white area is so clean.
The pages were burned and the iron book fell to the ground.
In Chabron's eyes, a string of [-10] and a small amount of [-5] lit up in the rain, followed by a series of experience values. It was like a funny joke, and it was composed of the real world.
A sharp contrast.
The green experience bar has moved forward again, and 90% of the upgrade path from level 2 to level 3 has been completed!
After level 2, he defeated two scarecrows and these iron books one after another. His experience bar has increased a lot, and he is getting closer to level 3 where he can obtain the second-level magic. He defeated the two scarecrows completely by himself.
In this way, the huge amount of experience points prepared for the entire team can be enjoyed by him alone.
Although the combat effectiveness and experience value provided by each "Iron Book" are not high, a large group of them combined is quite impressive.
Xia Bron knew that after reaching level 3, the caster's spellcasting ability will undergo its first qualitative change. Not only will the mana reserve more than double, but powerful spells such as [Spirit Weapon], [Assistance], and [Human Immobilization] will also be available.
The second-circle magic will also be opened to him. As a sun priest, he can also emit incandescent rays.
Soon, he can be regarded as a real spell caster!
Ignoring the iron book smashed on the ground, Chabron walked through the alley in front of him. His destination was right in front of him——
The second floor of the Temple of Eternal Light is his and Matru's residence.
There was no one around the temple, and the blond boy opened the door directly.
The silence inside the temple was heart-stopping.
He took three steps at a time and ran up the stairs.
In the process of going up the stairs, the handsome young man felt uneasy and his steps were as heavy as lead.
Chabron clenched his fists. If anything unusual happened on the second floor, he would immediately activate the "simple help means" he left behind when they left in his mind to send a message to Jacks.
He came to the second floor.
A biting chill hit, and the scene in front of him came into view of the young pastor——
