Victor was surprised by this man who suddenly appeared, but seeing the other person's sincere attitude, he felt relieved and started talking to him.
After a brief chat, we learned that this group of people fell into the "Uruk Dynasty" around the same time as Klein, roughly a month ago.
At first they had seven members, but due to the changes in the past month and the previous disaster of Humbaba, there are only three members of the prospecting team standing in front of Victor, including Kurt Raphael.
Previously, they were bewitched by the spirit of the high priest, and they were confused and lost the ability to think for themselves. Now that they have recovered, these team members are crying with joy because of the aftermath.
"Is there anything you can tell me about this city and this kingdom?" Victor took advantage of the opportunity and continued to collect information.
Unlike Klein, Kurt has a deeper understanding of Akkad. He told Victor: "As you can see, most of the people in this city are like us and were abducted from outside.
residents who come here.”
"Hijacking? In what way?"
"Sea freight!"
Kurt said firmly.
"Our ship was searching for mineral veins near the southern island chain. We once saw a hijacked cruise ship sailing to that uninhabited desert island, and then the entire ship disappeared."
"We deliberately avoided that terrible island, but we didn't expect to encounter a storm and experienced a narrow escape in the dark. What's worse, during the storm, we actually encountered the rumored terrifying ghost ship. It suddenly
It surfaced from the bottom of the sea, attacked us, completely capsized our ship, and when we woke up, it was already in Akkad."
"Fortunately, one of our companions remained conscious. He told me that the monster on the ghost ship sank us to the bottom of the sea, but for some reason, when we sank deep enough, it actually surfaced in the opposite direction.
, was transported to this strange land by the waves.”
At the beginning, the prospecting team did not fall under the mental spell of the high priest. Like Victor, they woke up from the beach and walked all the way towards the huge tower, and finally arrived at Akkad.
Even luckier than Victor, they successfully entered the city and were not pursued by the guards at first.
It was in the first few days that the prospecting team discovered the secret of Akkad.
"There is a force that keeps spreading rumors about the treasure, attracting all kinds of greedy people to approach that sea area, and then they will fall into this false country. They not only take hostages, but also deceive those who are greedy for money.
"
"Aren't you a prospecting team? Are you here to explore for gold mines?" Victor suddenly teased.
Kurt shook his head slightly embarrassed: "No, we are exploring the veins of iron ore for Mr. Eurygus Grant."
"But why are you talking about treasure rumors?"
"There are clues found in the items left behind by the immigrants, such as notebooks and letters. More than one person came here for treasure hunting, and then became the so-called 'Nippur people' in the city."
"I see, please continue..." Victor motioned for the other party to continue.
Kurt swallowed his saliva and said: "We found that this place is trying its best to imitate a certain civilization in ancient times, making everything the same as it was before. People are participating like madmen, completely unaware of the terrifying hidden power.
It was affecting them, so we ran away, trying to find a way back to land."
"Did you succeed?" Victor said nonsense.
Kurt looked at him with strange eyes: "No, we have reached the 'end of the world'."
"The end of the world?"
Kurt nodded and hoped that Victor could go with them to the place they had visited before.
"Mr. Seer, you may be able to see some clues from there."
Victor glanced at Klein, who was still unconscious, and held his chin in thought.
Someone who was a doctor has already gone to check on the injured, including Klein, who has been in a coma since he was possessed.
Victor had no reason to worry about the safety of the remaining people. He nodded and agreed to follow them to the so-called end of the world.
The purebred Nippur people still exist in the city, and most of them play the role of Akkadian city guards. They also worship Victor and believe that he has replaced the high priest and become the spokesperson of the new King of Heroes.
Therefore, when Victor asked them for some long-legged lizard mounts, no one dared to question or refuse, and obediently brought the mounts to Victor.
He was about to leave, but the refugees in the city swarmed up, making it difficult for Victor to get off.
Looking at this group of poor people who had survived the disaster, Victor sighed, and spent some time ordering some of the more professional-looking people inside to deal with the aftermath.
For example, Victor asked the doctor who was treating the wounded just now to select some people and teach them simple medical care methods to improve the efficiency of caring for the wounded.
There was also a bearded man who said that he had been a police inspector, and Victor ordered him to choose good people to help him and maintain law and order in the city.
…
After preparing everything, he followed Kurt out of the city to find the end of the world and the way to leave here and return to the real world.
There was a pair of eyes in the crowd silently watching, witnessing Victor and his group walking away, and then the owner of the gaze showed a mysterious smile and turned around to leave...
Mounts like the long-legged lizard were more than a little stronger than ordinary horses. After carrying them out of the city, they ran forward. Kurt's mount led the way, but Victor first equipped himself with the Yang Talisman and the Golden Curse.
body, in case the prospecting team has any other evil intentions.
I don’t remember how long I ran. As the scenery in front of me gradually became clearer, Victor’s pupils gradually dilated and he was shocked by the spectacle before him.
It was a wall and a gentle slope, directly blocking all roads going in that direction.
The "wall" stretched toward the sky to a certain extent. Victor pulled the reins, raised his head and looked to the highest point, unable to see the top.
The top wall has "stretched" into the sky, but the sky is like an inverted sea, blocking all sight below.
The extended gentle slope is also a strange arc, which is not a normal terrain. The slowly upward slope is the opposite, like a huge funnel planted into the earth. The upper end is thicker and the lower part is tighter.
"This is it, sir, the end of the world." Kurt also pulled the reins.
Victor stared at the terrain ahead, carefully deduced, and simulated the location of the Uruk Dynasty in his mind.
"So that's it, it's true. The desert island on the sea is not a floating island. It is just a small part of the submarine continent exposed on the water. The underwater terrain is sunken and the gravity is reversed. A certain
A mysterious force isolated the sea water, and this evacuated space became the current Uruk Dynasty..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor jumped off his mount and stomped the ground beneath his feet with his shoes.
"If I guess correctly, if we dig through the ground, we will appear on that desert island."
