Their fight didn't last long because the high priest Nime of the Moon City arrived very quickly.
He was wearing brown animal skin, his hair was gray and messy, and the wrinkles on his face could hold the worms to death, and behind him were the people of the city.
Klein was roasting mushrooms with Alice at this time. When he saw Nime and his group, Klein subconsciously looked at Alice and found that Alice was secretly putting an uncooked mushroom into the stack of cooked mushrooms.
This is not the first time such a thing has happened in the "God's Abandoned Land". Unfortunately, Miss Destiny cannot use illusions to cover up the appearance of mushrooms, so that such a sneaking change is useless.
But Klein, who had mastered the illusion, did not revenge on Alice in this way, not because it was useless, but because he was worried that it would be useful - he didn't want a ball of mushrooms to roll up and call him Mr. Fool!
The reason why Alice did not disappear is also very simple.
When facing the people of Yuecheng, Alice could not respond to their expectations, but now...
Alice calmly ignored Klein's eyes, put the half-baked mushroom back on the fire, then picked up a completely roasted mushroom and handed it to the direction of the high priest.
"Do you eat?" she asked.
Nime's expression was a little frozen. He quickly recalled the extremely unstable personality of this Miss Destiny who had made him remember. So he walked up naturally, crossed his hands and said:
"Hello, two distinguished guests.
"I am Nime, the high priest of Moon City. You may already know me...is this?"
His expression was inspiring, but the explanation was not something Alice liked to do. She only waved:
"This is something to eat. You want...uh, it doesn't seem to be enough. Who can you catch a few more monsters."
Alice glanced at Klein.
Klein's expression did not change. Instead, he stood up and greeted, smiling:
"Hello, High Priest.
"I am Merlin Hermes. You should have heard of my purpose?"
Skies, adult socializing... Alice curled her lips and sat in place to chew mushrooms.
Nime nodded calmly and said:
"Adar and the others have reported to me.
"But I still have a question, Lord Hermes...Who is the Lord you believe in?"
Merlin Hermes then replied with a solemn expression:
"Please allow me to introduce to you my Lord, the savior of this land, the great Mr. Fool..."
This was a bit too much, Mr. Fool…Alice glanced at Klein and looked away with a little reluctantly.
Fool... The high priest Nime and others in the Moon City were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect to hear such a word. Before they convinced themselves and their expressions became enlightened, Alice quickly opened her mouth:
"I'm surprised? Can't believe it? It's okay, this is normal. When I heard a god calling me a fool, I felt it was too unreasonable."
"..." Klein forced himself to hold back his desire to kick Alice, and just glanced at Alice coldly.
So, in the slightly shocked eyes of the high priest Nime of the Moon City, Alice stood up and jumped, and said vigilantly:
"Don't try to hit me!"
Krain silently withdrew his gaze and turned to Nime and said:
"This is Miss Destiny, and the Angel of Destiny under my Lord's seat is also my Lord's..."
He paused, and finally said the word: "Son of God."
Alice did not refute this sentence. She put away her vigilant posture and stood there with her head down. Nime's face showed a sudden enlightenment. He seemed to have no doubts about Alice's previous behavior.
Nime's eyes were refocused on Merlin Hermes, and he did not pay attention to the gentleman's strange dress, just as he did not pay attention to Miss Fate's strange costumes--the two of them had the same strange makeup.
Perhaps, this is the custom of the outside world...
Maintaining this cognition, Nime spoke:
"The great Mr. Fool is this world, no, this god outside the cursed earth?"
Klein solemnly and slowly said, "Yes."
"Then... what about the great sun god, the Lord who created everything?" Nime hesitated for a moment, and asked the question he had asked.
In the not-far past, he once asked this question, Alice only mentioned that he was betrayed, and when Nime tried to ask for more detailed information, he was rejected.
Maybe this time...
In Nime's expectant eyes, Klein said in a charlatan tone:
"The kings betrayed that existence, and blood, anger, filth and shadow began to flow across the land, and a huge disaster began to begin."
Nime's pupils dilated in an instant, showing a subtle loss of consciousness. Alice could hear his rapid breathing. She glanced at Klein thoughtfully, realizing that he was about to tell most of the truth, she sighed and said:
"If it were just betrayal, it wouldn't be like this...
"The angel kings of the past shared the body of the Creator and ascended to the throne...
"The Creator's residual will is crazy, and after that, the betrayer has been cursed for thousands of years... although it has no effect.
"As for you, as for this land...
"He has been crazy and devoured most of the authority, and has been unable to protect you from the hands of the betrayer, and therefore you have suffered this."
Although the details inside were not clear, she chose to disclose this part of the news after confirming that the "real creator" still retained a small part of her soberness and at least would not subjectively harm the believers.
Perhaps it would be much less faith than stigmatizing this former Creator, or directly saying that the Creator is dead, but after seeing the unchanging watch over the city of Silver and Moon for thousands of years, Alice just wanted to tell them that they were not abandoned, but that Lord could do nothing.
Just want to say sorry to Klein... However, anyway, the "real creator" doesn't care about the people who "the land of God abandonment". If it really doesn't work, you can also consider bringing more people out...
As Alice thought, tears were already flowing down Nime's face, filling every ravine, and finally flowing down. "So..." he murmured.
He trembled slightly, looked at Alice, and finally asked:
"So, Lord...?"
It is not for him to have doubts in his heart. Alice mentioned the body of the Creator, and at the same time said that the Creator had more heart but less strength, and his words were very vague about the Creator's life and death.
Alice obviously knew about this, she explained:
“…Although He did not die completely, even if he returned, he would not be the one he had ever been.
"At least for you, the creator back then...is no different from falling."
Hearing such words, the high priest Nime of the Moon City shook his body slightly, and his face covered with gullies instantly faded.
He probably understood the meaning of this sentence. After all, when he grew up so big in the "land of God abandonment", who had not seen his teammates and relatives who had resurrected from the dead while exploring it?
——Those are polluted monsters.
Perhaps the will of an old friend still exists in it, but for an old friend, it only means endless pain.
Of course, the Creator's situation may be better, probably not to the level of a monster, at least he would not kill them, such as the believers of the past, but he was no longer the one they traced back.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Most of the extraordinary people behind him also realized this, and their faces changed, as if they had suffered an extremely serious blow, and some even showed signs of losing control.
Seeing this, Klein reached out again and dragged out the "Life Stand" from the void, allowing it to fly out under the push of the air, accurately touching the target.
The signs of the extraordinary person's out of control immediately disappeared, and his forehead was full of sweat, as if he had just suffered from a serious illness.
As Klein lifted the maintenance of historical projection, the "Steam of Life" faded rapidly, and the extraordinary people in Moon City finally broke free from the "bad news" just now. Some were full of doubts and unwilling to believe, some cried in a low voice, and some turned their confused eyes to Merlin Hermes, as if this was the last hope.
The high priest Nime closed his eyes at some point. After two or three seconds, he opened it again, looked at the two people in front of him and asked:
"What else do you two want to ask?"
Just as Klein was about to speak, Alice asked calmly, "Do you really not eat anything?"
As she said this, she replaced the freshly roasted mushrooms, put the raw ones on, and pointed to the darkness in the distance.
In the light of the animal skin lantern, two figures approached, one of them holding a cane and the other was holding a large handful of mushrooms in his arms.
——This is the secret puppet sent by Klein to "hunter".
After just experiencing a huge shock, Nime and other Yuecheng people were confused for a moment. They watched Alice run forward, take the stack of mushrooms, then clenched her fists and bent her elbows, pressed her down, and said:
"Come on! Our Lord's great cause cannot be separated from your help!"
"...There are no monsters nearby." Klein couldn't bear to look at him and reminded him directly.
Alice paused for a moment. She held the mushroom and hesitated for a few seconds, and asked the two secret puppets:
"Then...why do you guys eat together?"
"..." Klein was completely silent. He didn't know how to deal with this problem for a moment - Alice didn't know that these two were secret puppets, nor did she know that secret puppets should not eat!
Nime looked at Alice, then at Klein, realizing that something might be wrong, but no one said that, and he couldn't figure it out, so he had to try to respond to the previous invitation:
"I have been wanting to ask...what is happening with these mushrooms?"
Of course he had seen mushrooms. There are also mushrooms in the "God's Abandoned Land", but the mushrooms in the "God's Abandoned Land" cannot be eaten, and they are full of all kinds of strange toxins and dangers.
When he saw Alice gnawing on mushrooms, he had doubts about these mushrooms, but angels are different from mortals. They may not be able to eat foods that angels can eat. If it weren't for Alice's invitation several times, Nime would not have begun to consider the possibility that this is a food that can be eaten by ordinary people.
——After all, they have not found anything to eat on this land for thousands of years.
Alice was happy to explain this to them, so she ran to the fire with the stack of mushrooms, piled up the raw mushrooms together, and then patted Klein and said:
"Tell them quickly!"
Klein's eyelids twitched, and he had to act as Alice's mouth:
“…After returning from this cursed land, the kind and great Miss Destiny, thanks for your perseverance, made a deal with a ‘druid’ to raise such a batch of mushrooms.
"These mushrooms can be grown on this land, and the pollution will accumulate on some of the mushrooms. Those are not edible, but can be used to make toxins. As for the others, they can be eaten normally and have a variety of flavors.
"You should praise Miss Destiny, this is His gift."
Just hearing this, the high priest of Yuecheng, Nime, also realized the value of this batch of mushrooms - eating the flesh and blood of monsters will accumulate a lot of pollution and madness, and their newborns have become more and more deformed!
Even without this Excellency’s treatment, Yuecheng can last longer with this batch of mushrooms alone...
For a moment, Nime was moved. He looked at Alice with tears in his eyes again, and said excitedly: "Praise you, the great Miss Destiny!"
Others from Yuecheng also shouted, "Praise you, the great Miss Destiny!"
Alice was silent in this cry for no other reason, purely because of embarrassment, she resisted the urge to glar at Klein and began to hurt each other with Klein:
“…You should praise Mr. Fool.
"My nature does not contain kindness. Before accepting the teachings of Mr. Fool, my attitude towards human beings...is not mentioned.
"Fortunately, Mr. Fool discovered this in time. He corrected my thoughts and made me realize my mistakes... You should thank Mr. Fool, because I tried to help mortals because of Mr. Fool's teachings.
"Praise the fool!"
Her tone was soft and her voice was full of nostalgia. When she spoke the last sentence, her posture was even more pious. In order to act in the whole set, she raised her right hand and raised her middle finger, pretending that this was the fool's prayer posture.
When Klein saw this gesture, his eyelids suddenly jumped. Before he could stop him, the high priest of Moon City, Nime, had already led the others in Moon City to imitate this move, and shouted devoutly:
"Praise the fool!"
"...This is not my Lord's prayer gesture," he had to make a sound correction, "In the outside world, what does this gesture mean..."
"The meaning of this gesture is perfectly in line with the will of Mr. Fool," Alice continued, "this is a symbol of indomitable struggle against power!"
The people of Yuecheng, who did not have the middle finger culture, believed it and showed a look of surprise. Klein opened his mouth, trying to stop this scene, but felt powerless.
If I had known this, I should have made a prayer gesture...
