In Pritz Harbor, inside a warehouse that was being rebuilt, Fors saw her teacher, Dorian.
"Are you ready?" Dorian glanced at Hobert, who was behind Fors, and asked directly.
He trusted his student Fors relatively well, but he was somewhat concerned about Hobert. Therefore, before meeting with his student, he prayed to Mr. Fool, lest Hobert seize the family's Sealed Artifact next.
Fors replied a little uncertainly, "Almost... it should meet the requirements."
Today, Dorian was preparing to help Fors advance to a demigod, or rather, to help Fors complete the ritual.
The ritual for the "Secrets Sorcerer" was: the ascendant must seal a demigod-level creature with clear hostility. The less external force used, the better the ritual's effect.
"Believe me, you'll be fine." Hobert smiled and said, "The potion has long been digested, and with Teacher Dorian's help, there won't be any problems."
In addition, He would also provide some help, such as allowing Fors to record four demigod-level abilities in the Beyonder Squad.
And in a while, Hobert was also preparing to help, and was preparing to use Fors's ritual to see if he could contact Mr. "Door".
If such preparations still failed, Hobert would have to suspect whether Fors had received the "blessing" of the Evernight Goddess?
Dorian nodded slightly and said, "Almost is fine. That ritual is really too difficult for pure Sequence 5 Beyonders. It is essential to seek help appropriately, but you must grasp the limit."
As he spoke, he handed the Grade 1 Sealed Artifact "Devil's Oil Painting" to Fors: "There are more than one terrifying creature inside, but when we were attacked by the Aurora Order, we lost a lot of data, and now I don't know what terrifying creatures are sealed inside."
This was Dorian's biggest concern: "The key is, I don't know what terrifying creatures you can release."
Fors had already thought of a countermeasure: "I will pray to Mr. Fool to release a creature that is relatively easy to control."
Dorian nodded almost imperceptibly, said nothing more, and immediately summoned his contracted creature, Malmouth, who loved music, and took out the auxiliary Ingredients he had prepared.
He also took the main ingredient of the "Secrets Sorcerer" from Hobert and prepared a "Secrets Sorcerer" potion for his student on the spot.
Fors solemnly took the potion.
"If you can successfully advance, I only have one request." Dorian said solemnly to Fors: "That is, on a full moon night, listen to what Mr. 'Door' is saying, and ask Him the reason for doing so."
The Abraham family members were eager to fully understand the truth of the whole matter.
Faced with her teacher's request, Fors agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
After the teacher and student finished talking, Hobert asked Dorian, "Do you want to watch the advancement process?"
Dorian was stunned: "Can I watch?"
He was only a Sequence 7, and could easily be hurt by a demigod-level monster, so he originally planned to leave after completing the task.
Hobert raised his hand and constructed a layer of "Disorder" space on the outside, which was completely isolated from reality.
This space was a bit like the closed space of "Nonexistent Town", and it was difficult for outside people and things to affect it.
Then He told Dorian: "Next, as long as you stand behind me, there will be no danger."
Dorian nodded and immediately came behind Hobert.
Under Hobert's encouraging gaze, Fors prayed to Mr. Fool and, after receiving a response, opened the oil painting in her hand.
It depicted one abstract pattern after another that was incomprehensible. Just looking at it for a while could make people dizzy, nauseous, and mentally weak.
According to Dorian's prior explanation, Fors took out the pre-prepared herbal powder and sprinkled it on the "Devil's Oil Painting", and then she recited a spell in Jotun to release a creature.
Silently, the fluttering herbal powder landed on the oil painting and quickly rotated around a point.
The surface of the oil painting became illusory, and suddenly, a cyan-black hand with rotten marks stretched out from inside.
Fors's body became icy cold, as if she had fallen into a frozen and cracked lake.
When the monster fully appeared, Hobert decisively took action: "Weaken."
Pfft—
The ferocious and terrifying cyan-black monster seemed to suddenly deflate, becoming thin and emaciated, like it was malnourished.
Dorian wanted to remind her, but it was too late. This was a great help to Fors!
He was about to suggest stopping the advancement ritual, but thinking that Hobert would definitely not harm Fors, he didn't speak.
"Imprison!" Fors immediately used the demigod-level ability she had recorded from Angus!
The monster, which no longer had any divinity and was equivalent to Sequence 7, was immediately "imprisoned" in place.
Then, Fors opened her mouth and let out a howl that humans could hardly make. This was the "Wraith's Shriek" that she had recorded from Sharron.
The shriek formed a cold wind, blowing the "imprisoned" monster back into the oil painting.
Fors took a deep breath and quickly closed the oil painting.
Because of the monster's influence, she was still a little cold.
Hobert took the oil painting from her hand: "You can drink the potion now."
Dorian was a little worried: "Really?"
Hobert replied very confidently: "Yes."
Fors took out the potion she had just prepared and drank it in one gulp.
At the same time, Hobert "tampered" with the connection between Fors and the Spirit World, as well as the connection between the event of sealing the monster just now and the Spirit World.
Theoretically speaking, every event that happens in the real world will have a corresponding "imprint" in the Spirit World.
The preparations for advancement are no exception. It is those "imprints" that prove that the ascendant has made corresponding preparations, and will receive corresponding help when taking the potion.
What Hobert "tampered" with was the connection between those "imprints" and Fors, "tampering" the sealing of the monster, which was just completed with Hobert's help, into a sealing that Fors completed alone!
Of course, the Spirit World has a strong self-repair ability, and such "tampering" is only temporary.
But as long as the advancement is completed and Fors stabilizes her state, such an operation will not have much impact on her. Even if there is an impact, Hobert only needs to "bestow" away her part of the bad state.
This is the "Lawyer".
If Hobert had accommodated the Uniqueness at this time, Fors would not have to do anything at all, and Hobert could "tamper" out the "imprints" needed for the ritual for her.
The moment Fors drank the potion, a night sky suddenly appeared before her eyes. In the dark night, dense and dazzling stars intertwined into a dreamlike river.
The different stars in the night sky produced invisible connections. They wriggled and distorted, like uncontrolled avatars.
Fors's thoughts became muddled, and she almost couldn't control herself from resisting those "avatars" from separating from her body.
At this moment, she felt a vague mark from the Spirit World. That mark was the imprint generated in the Spirit World by the sealing of the monster just now.
Fors, relying on instinct, extended her spirituality over.
That mark immediately released the abstract power of sealing, sealing those "avatars" back into Fors's body.
Immediately afterwards, that mark immediately turned into a layered door, Fors gradually regained her sanity, began to gather her spirituality, and gradually regained herself.
Just as the stars in front of Fors's eyes gradually faded, a gloomy darkness suddenly appeared again, with a never-ending storm and occasional flashes of lightning in the depths of the darkness.
The next second, that familiar voice stirred in Fors's ears, piercing her head, like steel nails stirring her brain.
This was the murmur of the full moon!
It took her several seconds to finally adjust her state by relying on meditation, and she clearly heard what the voice was shouting.
A cry for help!
Mr. "Door" was frantically shouting "Help" every full moon!
Suddenly, the constant cries for help turned into a ethereal voice: "You are using Beyonder characteristics from the Abraham family, and your advancement has been helped by a high sequence!"
Fors immediately felt the blood vessels on her forehead jump, she stabilized her state again, and then deliberately asked: "Who are you?"
The voice said: "You can call me Mr. 'Door', I think you should be no stranger to me."
"Are you His Royal Highness Bethel, the ancestor of the Abraham family?"
"Yes."
Fors said: "Then do you know that your 'cry for help' has plunged the entire Abraham family into a curse for more than a thousand years, and basically no one has become a 'Traveler', and it is even more difficult to know the content of your cry for help."
Mr. "Door" was silent for a moment and said: "I am exiled in eternal darkness, suffering from the constant storm, and I have no way of knowing what is happening in the real world."
Fors, who understood the relevant information, immediately made a judgment: lying.
At this time, Mr. "Door" continued: "Moreover, the cry for help during the full moon is not something I can control."
Fors was a little surprised: "Why?"
"Whenever the full moon comes, my crazy part will be strengthened, making me unable to control it, and I can only keep calling for help."
Fors nodded slightly: So that's how it is.
Then she asked: "What can I do for you? How should the Abraham family eliminate the curse?"
Mr. "Door" said in a deep voice: "Set up a ritual to help me get out of trouble, in that case the curse will no longer exist.
"There are two kinds of rituals. One is to use a demigod each from the 'Seer', 'Apprentice', and Marauder Pathways as sacrifices.
The second is to extract the blood of at least ninety-nine Beyonders from the Abraham family and use it to draw a symbol like this..."
Fors, after memorizing the symbol, said, "I will tell them."
Mr. Door smiled and said, "If I can escape because of this, I will help you become an angel."
"Hahaha." Fors's expression suddenly changed: "That sounds like a curse."
Mr. Door immediately noticed and asked, "You, who are you?"
"Fors" made a teasing expression: "Trunsoest."
But Mr. Door was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You are not Trunsoest!"
"Just treat me as Trunsoest."
Mr. Door asked, "How did you participate in our conversation?"
"I only need to strengthen the 'connection' with the advancing Beyoder, then 'tamper' and 'distort' my concept with them, and I can appear in front of you at the right time."
The current "Fors" is, of course, Hobert.
Before the ritual began, He also had the mentality of trying to see if he could contact Mr. Door.
Sensing that Fors had completed the advancement, but her consciousness had not yet returned to her body, Hobert knew that Mr. Door had taken the initiative to contact her using the advancement ritual.
In the lightning and storm, Mr. Door couldn't see His expression clearly, but it sounded like He sneered: "You are Solomon!"
"Solomon has completely fallen." Hobert made a gesture of spreading his hands using Fors's spirit body and mental body: "Let's make our conversation more efficient.
"I have received accurate information that you frequently contacted a Beyonder more than a hundred years ago, and I even know the general content of your contact.
"With that said, you don't need to hide it anymore, right?"
Mr. Door was silent, not knowing whether it was because of surprise or because his lie had been exposed.
Hobert asked, "I really want to know, can ordinary Outer Deities harm the current 'Mother Goddess of Depravity'? Is Her counterattack difficult for ordinary Outer Deities to resist?"
Previously, the corruption of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" made Him realize that he didn't have a clear concept of the "pillar", so he hoped to learn more information through communication with Mr. Door.
At this time, Hobert "distorted" his concept with Fors. Although he still used Fors's appearance, Fors couldn't hear their conversation, so there was no need to worry that Fors would be corrupted.
A few seconds later, in the darkness with storms and lightning, Mr. Door's voice sounded: "It seems you know a lot."
He paused and then said: "First of all, what I want to tell you is that I only have a very vague concept of Her, but I know that the Outer Deities can harm Her, but that's all.
I don't know Her specific strength, I only know that Her level is very high."
Then He asked: "Who exactly are you?"
Hobert smiled and said, "My surname is Trunsoest."
Mr. Door nodded: "I understand."
Then He sighed: "It seems that Roselle is also going to completely fall."
Hobert asked again: "Do you know anything about the 'Uncertain Mist'? Any information is fine."
Mr. Door replied: "I suggest you go to Tamara, or find a Sealed Artifact called 'Genie', they both have a certain understanding of the 'Uncertain Mist'."
Hobert shook his head: "Now I am already a mortal enemy with Tamara. As for the 'Genie', I will have to find it after a while, otherwise there may be some danger."
Only then did Mr. Door answer: "I heard the Lord once said that a part of the 'Uncertain Mist' has Beyonder characteristics that are very similar to the 'Black Emperor' and 'Apprentice', but it doesn't seem to conform to the concept of adjacent pathways in the general sense.
In addition, the 'Uncertain Mist' can accommodate the characteristics of the 'Black Emperor' and 'Apprentice' pathways."
Hobert nodded slowly. Mr. Door's retelling of the Ancient Sun God's words should have a certain degree of credibility, but this is not quite the same as His previous thoughts.
Mr. Door asked again: "How is Roselle's current situation?"
Hobert pondered for a moment before replying: "More than a hundred years ago, He fell in the White Maple Palace."
Then He asked: "How much do you know about 'Celestial Worthy' and 'Genie'?"
"As time goes by, 'Celestial Worthy's' spiritual imprint will weaken, until its influence on the world is very weak, but because of some unknown opportunity, He will definitely usher in the next awakening!" Mr. Door replied: "It is said that 'Genie' was sealed by 'Celestial Worthy'."
Hobert's eyes narrowed. The state of "Celestial Worthy" sounded very "familiar". The influence on the world is very weak. Isn't this similar to the state of Celestial Worthy and God Almighty before the awakening of the Original Creator in the prehistoric era?
In other words, the more you suppress the momentum of Celestial Worthy and God Almighty's revival, the easier it will be to make their state close to the sleeping Original Creator, and then a certain Convergence will occur, allowing the "Original Creator" to awaken?
Thinking about it carefully, Celestial Worthy's influence on the real world is indeed getting smaller and smaller. In the Fourth Epoch, Mr. Door did not dare to become a god.
If the process of the Ancient Sun God and Klein becoming Great Old Ones also fails, it is estimated that the influence of God and Celestial Worthy will be further weakened.
However, neither Adam nor Klein will give up the action of returning to the Great Old Ones or becoming the Great Old Ones which means that God Almighty and Celestial Worthy will have a certain degree of awakening in the future.
At this time, Mr. Door asked: "Do you have a chance to become a Great Old One?"
"Not me." Hobert said: "It is the god I serve."
He asked the fourth question: "Does Tudor have any arrangements for resurrection?"
Mr. Door was silent for a while before saying: "Before I was sealed, no."
This ancestor of the Abraham family also asked the fourth question: "Who is the god you serve?"
"The Creator in the Shadow of Order!" Hobert said piously.
Mr. Door's voice became very ethereal: "Never heard of it.
But if He really has such a chance, it would be a good thing..."
The storm and lightning seal in the darkness gradually weakened the connection between them, and finally cut it off.
Hobert immediately stopped "distorting" and "tampering". At this moment, Fors returned to the real world.
Dorian was very happy to see his student successfully advanced: "It's great that the ritual can still work."
He had been worried that Hobert's "destruction" of the ritual would affect Fors's advancement!
...
Lanagua Port New City.
A group of hired carpenters saw the "half-giant" people, said to be from the northern Feysac islands, carrying heavy, freshly baked logs.
These carpenters deal with those woods all year round and know how heavy the wood is. Usually, they can only be transported with the help of horses, gears, and machines, but the "half-giants" here are as easy as carrying toys.
Derrick easily piled the logs on his shoulders on the ground. He saw that part of the new city had been installed with doors and windows, painted, and in the recent period, they had helped the carpenters make a batch of furniture.
So he said to Candice and Leiaval: "It's time to rush back to City of Silver and tell the Chief and them about the situation here."
None of the members of the City of Silver Pathfinder team objected, and all agreed with Elder Derrick's decision with considerable excitement.
Although they haven't been here for too long, they have deeply fallen in love with the new "hometown", and they like the warmth under the sunshine, and can't wait to let their relatives and friends also enjoy these gifts of nature.
Derrick subconsciously straightened his back a little. He said to Candice, "You and I will return to City of Silver together and tell the Chief and other elders about the situation here.
Yes, Ginnod, you come too. Leyval, you are responsible for maintaining order here."
This is the City of Silver's tradition. If there are no casualties in the exploration action, or the number of survivors is more than three, three people must report the same thing separately.
After a brief explanation, Derrick led two members to a secluded place in the new city and made a wish to Mr. Fool to return to City of Silver immediately.
Silently, the scene around them first became blurred, stretched, and then fixed, and soon the line of sight became clear.
Before their eyes was the wall of City of Silver.
Candice sincerely exclaimed: "This is a miracle!"
She had envisioned many ways to return to City of Silver, but she never thought that she would come back directly like this.
Derrick breathed a sigh of relief and tried to remain serious and said: "We will immediately go to the Chief and arrange for everyone to prepare for the relocation."
After listening to their report in the round tower, an elder sighed: "Your experience is like a beautiful dream, no, I can't even dream of such a scene."
Next, make the final preparations for the relocation, and pray to Mr. Fool, asking Him to transfer the people of City of Silver out.
Soon Mr. Fool issued an oracle, notifying the time of the transfer, and told them that the ancient survivors from Moon City were coming to City of Silver to meet, and then leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods together.
When the excited crowd gathered in the training ground, Chief Colin loudly said to everyone: "The living environment in Moon City is difficult. It is said that many people have become distorted. Treat them with normal eyes!"
Everyone responded without hesitation: "Yes!"
Soon, the space on the other side of the square suddenly became blurred, and figures suddenly appeared, some ugly, some with various deformed faces.
Colin nodded towards the somewhat uneasy citizens of Moon City and asked, "Are you all ready?"
His gaze was calm and natural, showing no prejudice towards the appearances of the Moon City residents.
Nim, the High Priest of Moon City, immediately responded, "We are ready!"
Then, Colin turned his gaze to the residents of City of Silver: "Begin praying!"
A few seconds later, everyone on the City of Silver training ground disappeared.
The city fell into complete silence, and before long, it would be overgrown with corrupted weeds, and monsters would "occupy" it.
In the blink of an eye, the residents of City of Silver and Moon City arrived in front of the Giant King's palace, bathed in the light of dusk.
This was Klein's deliberate act, giving these ancient remnants of the forsaken land a ritual to bid farewell to the past.
Everyone was shocked by the grandeur and epic feel of the "Giant King's Court." They subconsciously turned their heads and looked into the distance.
There, the land was completely swallowed by darkness, and only when lightning flashed across the sky did the ancient buildings in the distance become visible.
Then they turned back and saw the golden ocean outside the gate.
Immediately afterwards, the scene changed again, and they arrived in the city center, which had exquisite buildings and plants without any distortion.
On the other side of this square, a beautiful lady smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I am Donna, an official of the Southern Balam Duchy. Grand Duke Hobert has sent me to deliver some food and daily necessities to you."
"From now on, I will be in contact with Mr. Derrick among you and be responsible for communication between the two parties. May I ask, which one is Mr. Derrick?"
