It was a dreamlike city, with people wearing strange robes and even stranger glasses. They lived in a steel city full of tall buildings. It was a miraculous city full of gears and tracks, and strange things were everywhere.
Strange sculptures and even stranger machinery.
But even Catalina can feel that life here is better than now.
There is no need for people to go to the wells with wooden buckets to fetch water. They only need to unscrew the pipes in their homes to get clean water. Oil lamps that always smell of smoke have been abandoned on the streets and alleys.
The crystal pillars light up the world. Those crystals are somewhat similar to the magic lamps that are becoming popular now, but they are brighter and cleaner, and even the slight mechanical roar and heat cannot be felt.
When people travel, they don't rely on carriages or their own feet. Strange boxes and discs replace the carriages. As long as you enter them, you can quickly reach your desired location.
There are colorful crystals everywhere, and the streets are actually paved with white jade and diamonds, but the people in robes seem to turn a blind eye. Strange gear creations live in this city like living creatures. Humans are not the only ones here.
Owner.
Looking at this strange but familiar world, Catalina was confused. She was just a bar girl born in the countryside. The biggest person she had ever seen was the mayor of a nearby town. Such a scene was far beyond her understanding.
Time passed by, spring, summer, autumn and winter. At that moment, Catalina seemed to have experienced a long time. The buildings in that modern city also became older, and there were also more strange things.
But suddenly one day, the color of the sky changed. The white clouds were ignited by flames and boiled strangely. Soon, the fire clouds in the sky seemed to be boiled. There were blood-red ripples everywhere.
Such strange changes made pedestrians on the street panic, and the next moment, the clouds opened and countless lights fell, as if something was peering into the world.
"#￥#￥!"
"#d1321!"
Strange screams and howls occurred on the street. Catalina was clearly there, but no one could find her. Although this was in an unfamiliar language, Catalina could instinctively understand its meaning.
"Angel, the angel is here!"
"The end! We are finished."
"The prophecy, the prophecy is actually true!"
Yes, the clouds were opened, and the angels with white feathers fell down. They were as strong, beautiful, and powerful as in the legend!
The golden armor carries the luster of the sun. The slender long sword is illuminated by the brilliance of flames. But unlike what the priests said, they do not come with goodwill and blessings. People first think of extending a hand for help.
Directly cut off by a sharp sword, these beautiful angels are just here to carry out the butcher's mission.
In Catalina's eyes, these beautiful creations waved the swords in their hands expressionlessly, slashing and killing local residents. Some citizens tried to control the puppet guards used for engineering to fight them, but they didn't have time to fight.
He was nailed to the ground by the flaming spear.
And something even more terrifying happened next. The entire cloud layer had disappeared without a trace, but in the sky, a giant standing tall stood up. He had two heads and four arms, one with a smiling face and the other with a snake head. But
The smile does not represent forgiveness. While commanding the angels to carry out massacre, he tore off the pride of civilization, the hanging garden leading to the endless void, and threw it down into deadly meteors.
But this was just the beginning. Strange gods came out one after another from the high-altitude divine realm. They either sent clones, or were touched by the local people, and turned into deadly destroyers with their own hands.
Most of the gods are not purely humanoid. The twisted beast limbs seem to be their common feature, and this instinctive bestiality has evolved the slaughter into a more brutal jungle hunting.
For Catalina, this was a scene of despair, with death and despair everywhere. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she didn't know what went wrong. All she could hear were explosions and howls, and she was entranced.
They were all indifferent massacres, and there were scenes like a slaughterhouse.
She wanted to close her eyes, but found that she couldn't close them, as if she had some power to record every scene.
"No, no, no!"
The desperate girl sat on the ground and cried, while the world and scenery around her kept changing. What remained unchanged was the desperate wail and the curse on the gods.
"don't want……."
With the efficient killing of angels and gods, the death cries and howls did not last long and came to an end, but the sound of explosions could not be heard continuously. The massacrers had no intention of leaving any souvenirs to this city.
Standing among the ruins, Catalina was a little dazed. No one could see her. She felt that she shouldn't be here, but she instinctively felt that she belonged to herself.
She trudged blankly among the broken bricks, her reason and instinct were driving her to look for something. Suddenly, she saw a dark stone slab. It was lying there, no one cared about it, but an inexplicable surprise came to her.
In her heart, Catalina knew she had found her goal, she had found hope for the future.
But before she could touch the stone slab, the two-headed giant in the sky shook violently and looked at her. She had been discovered!
The next moment, the spears of the angels and the light of divine punishment came together. There was a light in front of my eyes, but everything returned to silence.
"Wait, it's just a little bit closer..."
"Katrina! Are you okay?"
The violent shaking brought back her senses. When she recovered from her trance, she realized that she was still in a small private room in the bar, and her adoptive father was looking at her nervously.
On the side, I saw Catalina woke up and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What was the result?"
"The guess is correct. Catalina is indeed very important, both to us and to those ancient remnants who may exist in the world. She is the key, the key to the Tower of Babel! They are definitely looking for her, and it is very likely that the undead are
It's for her."
He neatly unplugged the electrodes from Catalina's ears and forehead, and copied the data on the meter. Although he had harvested amazing information and news, Timiret did not feel the joy of a great harvest, but instead had a heavy face.
"How long will it take?"
"I don't know, it depends on the situation."
My seemingly vague inquiry did not get a positive answer, but since Timiret did not deny my guess, it is very likely to come true. This time, I am afraid I will really have more fun.
At this time, Old Barton was still staring at me fiercely, as if Catalina would not have suffered if I had not proposed a small experiment to recall soul memories.
"Barton. Your daughter is more important than you think. Escape is not an option."
This is not what I said. Dragon Lich Wen Lair is usually very funny, but as a lich, how could he not understand the importance of the soul? The specialness of Katarina's soul is so obvious, and he has already seen Katrina's
It's important. As a blood relative of Barton, you can tell right from wrong and speak for me at this time. It also helps me.
Catalina turned around and looked at me pitifully. Her pupils were watery. The tears she just shed in her sleep were about to burst again. It seemed that if I forced her to look at these things again, she would cry.
Show me.
I shook my head and reassured her that I had no intention of forcing Catalina to recall the memory of her soul. The soul is so fragile and delicate. Forcibly squeezing the information out of it is like crushing a walnut with a steamroller. You may still be able to pick it up on the ground after the steamroller passes.
Order walnut kernel pieces. But the walnuts are definitely finished.
Even if it is just for the sake of completeness of the treasure, you can only take out the treasure from the walnut slowly.
And looking at Catalina who was paralyzed in the arms of her adoptive father and couldn't help sobbing, I knew that this was the end of the day. In addition, after hearing the exciting news about the "reinforcements", it seemed that I had to look back and think carefully.
Thinking about how to deal with it.
"I'm tired today. Let's go. Let's go to bed early..." ——
Too many stares can make people unable to do anything. I did not choose to live in the bungalow provided by Saliman, but directly found a room in the bar here. At this time, even though it was late at night, there were still people next door.
There was a rumbling sound, and even the floor was shaking with the rhythm.
"Be quiet and don't let anyone sleep!"
I kicked the wall violently, and the next door immediately became quieter. But after a few minutes, a more peculiar and subtle buzzing sound made people's scalp numb.
"It's really..."
I'm a little helpless. It seems like it's a stupid idea to let Timmyret live next door to me. So many things happened today, and there is so much new data for him to study. With his temperament, it's strange that he will sleep well.
.
"Tsk, maybe he has modified himself so that he doesn't need sleep anymore."
And considering that the undead may come again tomorrow, I really need his research results urgently now, so in the end I had no choice but to give up my plan of hindering him, and simply took out two earplugs from the salute and plugged myself in.
And the reason why I didn't fall asleep was not just because of the noise next door. The warhammer placed in the room was emitting a slight silver luster, which made people feel at ease.
I touched the warhammer and once again tried to use its power to dispel the curse on me, but soon, the power of holy light surrounded me, turning me into a dazzling light bulb, but it still could not dispel the debilitating curse.
"It seems that this is not a curse. The Holy Light cannot even be hostile to me. The Holy Light thinks that I am in very good condition. Is this... is this a blessing?"
The weird current situation leads to an even weirder conclusion, but considering Amyra's attainments in life magic and plant magic, turning a curse into a blessing, or reversing the effect of a blessing into a debilitating effect,
It's all possible.
This is just like a newly severed limb that can still be reattached. The severed limb ten years ago is already part of your current state. Holy light and healing magic are powerless.
"It seems that to untie the bell, one must tie the bell..."
While I was still sighing, I suddenly heard the angry curses from the residents downstairs.
"What are you doing upstairs? Why are you making so much noise and not letting anyone sleep? Do you still have a sense of public morality?"
Shaking my head helplessly, I stood up again. It seemed that I still needed to remind Dimiret.
"And that idiot next door, you light up and then go dark, and you are boring to light a fire in your room! Do you have common sense? You are not afraid of burning down the house."
So I stopped and silently summoned a low-level ghost. Perhaps, this little guy would give the noisy guy a nightmare... and let him know that howling in the middle of the night is not a good habit. If so,
If you are dissatisfied, you should pay attention to the way you express it.
"Forget it, go to bed early."
But when I turned around, I found that something was wrong with the dead cat. She had a rare transformation into an elf, with her cat ears and tail exposed, and she was rolling on the bed, pulling on the quilt.
"Meow, Master, the bed is warm. It's so soft and warm. Come and sleep."
The sweet words made people have goosebumps. I was just about to ask her if she had taken the wrong medicine, but I saw the memory crystal on the table nearby emitting this bright light.
I understood instantly, but this time it was not about goosebumps, but an instinctive feeling that the death omen was already surrounding my head.
"I'll go with you. Are you recording? Are you going to show it to those two crazy girls? Are you going to kill me?"
"Meow, Mimi didn't understand. Mimi was just warming the master's bed as usual."
The girl-like Heloise deliberately exposed her snow-white skin and thigh curves. Although it is indeed eye-catching, now is definitely not the time to look at it stupidly.
"...Stop it quickly! People will really die!"
"Meow, master, don't you like Mimi to warm the bed? But that day in the fitting room of the tailor shop, didn't you say that you liked Mimi's service very much?"
"I'll go ahead. Are you still holding a grudge about that incident? Lady Heloise, please spare me. Don't you still think I'm not having enough fun?"
"Meow, Mimi doesn't know, Mimi is just a pet cat that warms the owner's bed." (To be continued.)
