Thanks to Anthony's efforts, the old man finally opened his eyes.
However, he seemed a little confused about the current situation. He saw that the stranger in front of him showed neither panic nor curiosity. He just stared at Hao Ren and Anthony with his eyes open for a while, and then whispered for a long time.
Muttered: "When will it end..."
Only then did Hao Ren realize what was going on: the other party didn't know that he had been rescued, and he was still immersed in hallucinations.
"Old man, old man," Lily poked the old man's arm with her claws. The cold air from the ice claws cheered him up, "Wake up, wake up, you have been saved! The poison in your body is still contaminated.
All the magic energy has been removed!"
The old man rolled his eyes hard and looked back and forth between Lily and Hao Ren several times before he gradually woke up from the chaos. He suddenly took a deep breath, supported his upper body and tried to sit up: "You... you are...
…Who are you? Where am I?!”
"Relax, don't move," Vivian immediately stretched out her hand to hold down the other person's violent movements. "You are very weak from the radiation, and it will take some time for your cells to repair. This is still Vanaheim, but you are safe now.
We are investigators passing by."
"Investigators?!" The old man looked a little confused, "Where did the investigators come from!? Are you also coming from the Twilight City? It's the Steam Council... No, it doesn't look like it. Are you... coming from other kingdoms?
of?!"
Hao Ren scratched his hair: "Well, I don't know how to explain it to you, but it's definitely not the Twilight City you mentioned. We came from somewhere outside Yggdrasil... Well, it looks like you
I don’t even understand where ‘outside’ is, well we are from other kingdoms.”
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the old man immediately became extremely excited after hearing this sentence. He almost jumped up after recovering from a serious illness: "Other kingdoms! Other kingdoms! The remaining light in the darkness!
It's exactly what the ancient books said... It's exactly what the ancient books said... The universe collapsed, but a new fire ignited from the ashes of Yggdrasil, and a new world will eventually appear...
Where did it come from? Jotunheim? Niflheim? Wat Alheim? Is this Vanaheim? No... We have passed through these kingdoms, and there is only a piece of scorched earth everywhere... The best situation is about
Dunheim. But there is only a desert left...Asgard? Are you from Asgard?!"
Hao Ren didn't know why the old man in front of him could be so excited all of a sudden, but he could vaguely guess something. He held the old man's hand and tried to calm him down: "Calm down first. We did come from Asgard before.
We came here, but we...well, okay, we came from Asgard. Are you the only one who survived?"
It took the old man a long time to calm down a little. When he mentioned the dead teammates, there was obvious sadness on his face: "Yes, I am the only one who survived. There were more than a dozen people when we set off, but the others
Everyone is dead. I was heading to Asgard, and I knew there must still be residual light there. Even if I just went to take a look, it would be good... But I couldn't hold on. How did you get here? Are you also there?
Looking for other surviving places among the nine kingdoms?"
"We'll talk about our business later," Nangong Sanba suddenly came over, "Old man, where are you from? Can you tell me about you? Are there other gathering places for humans in this world?"
"My name is Wendell, Wendell Fran," the old man then remembered to introduce himself, "I come from the Twilight City. The last fortress in the long night. I am a light seeker, looking for the remaining light in the long night.
People. I don’t know if there are any other countries outside the Twilight City...except Asgard."
"Yes. Nice to meet you, Wendell." Hao Ren nodded and introduced the people around him, "You can call me Hao Ren. These are my friends, Vivian, Lily..."
After both parties finished their introductions, Vivian immediately asked: "Where is the Twilight Capital?"
"A long time ago it was called Midgard," the old man smiled bitterly, "That's what the ancient books said. But since the world collapsed and the day ended, the continent of Midgard has been shrouded in darkness. Nearly 90% of the continent
It is no longer possible to survive. The remaining area is protected by a light barrier, and a great ancient saint is our patron. What is the situation in Asgard? Is there also a Twilight City there?"
"According to your description, the situation in Asgard should be much better than that in your hometown," Hao Ren sighed, and suddenly thought of something, "You said you are a light seeker, do all light seekers dress like you?
"
"Yes," the old man looked down at his attire, "these blessed things can allow light seekers to resist the power of darkness."
"Then a group of people like you should have arrived in Asgard a hundred years ago. They also paid homage to Heimdall on the battlefield in front of the Rainbow Bridge." Hao Ren frowned, "They didn't bring the news back.
Huh? It looks like you have no idea about the situation in Asgard."
The old man tremblingly took out a piece of parchment from his arms: "They failed to bring the news back. I know that those warriors a hundred years ago, the one hundred bravest people, they must have found Asgard.
, but they were all wiped out when they returned.”
Vivian took the parchment, looked at it, and sighed: "Fate plays tricks on people."
There is no doubt that the group of hundred warriors mentioned by the old man a hundred years ago is the group of "battlefield scavengers" that appeared in the surveillance video of Valhalla. Yzaks's guess was wrong. Those people were not on the battlefield.
Treasure hunting, but investigating the existence of other dimensions.
At that time, only five people appeared in the video. The fate of the other ninety-five people can be imagined. Even the five people who appeared in the video failed to bring their discoveries back in the end.
Yzaks suddenly came over: "Can you take us to your twilight capital?"
Wendell was immediately startled when he saw Yzaks' big face. He hadn't looked carefully when Hao Ren was introducing him just now, but he suddenly exclaimed: "Ancestors, descendants of giants!!"
Yzaks: "..."
"Well, this is not a giant, although the giants back then were indeed so ugly," Vivian waved her hands awkwardly, "Let's talk about the Twilight City."
Wendell naturally nodded without thinking. In fact, after seeing the group of strangers in front of him, a strange sense of ecstasy and unreality had completely enveloped his heart. In this dizzy state, he felt
I will agree to almost anything as long as it doesn't dissipate like a dream.
And until he embarked on the journey back to Midgard, Wendell still could not recover from this dizzy state.
"I...should go see Asgard first," Wendell suddenly said on the way, "I still can't believe it..."
"Oh, this is simple." Galadr nodded and took out his data terminal. "I'll just show you the video. If you really want to do an on-site inspection, wait until we finish our business. Then you can
There are plenty of opportunities to visit everywhere.”
The data terminal suddenly projected the scenery of Asgard, with vast plains, twisted but still green jungles, the glorious ruins of Asgard, and clear and translucent skies. Although Asgard was also affected by Ragnarok,
Destroyed, there are scorched earth ruins everywhere outside Asa Garden, but compared to several other major countries that have been completely transformed into twisted alien lands...
Asgard is as beautiful as heaven.
Wendell was startled at first by the incredible thing like the "data terminal", but he was soon deeply attracted by the scenery on the holographic projection. He stared at the things on the image as if obsessed, until Galadr
He coughed impatiently next to him before he came back to his senses.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I've never seen this kind of thing..." Wendell shook his head, his expression half excited and half confused, "I've never seen this kind of sight, I've seen similar things in some ancient books.
Description, but I don’t know what it actually looks like. This... is so beautiful. It’s unbelievable that in the corner of the world, there is a place that has recovered to such an extent. We should have known about it earlier, the Twilight City
The Steam Council should have known earlier..."
"Tell us about the Twilight City," Vivian suddenly said, "What kind of place is it? How did you survive after the collapse of the Nine Kingdoms?"
"Before that, we'd better change transportation," Anthony glanced at Wendell, "It seems that you have almost recovered after walking for such a long distance. Are you airsick?"
"Airsick?" Wendell was a little confused.
The old mage raised his hand and his magical spherical aircraft appeared out of thin air: "This is what I'm talking about, the aircraft." (To be continued.)
