Under Anthony's hard work, the old man finally opened his eyes gradually.
However, he seemed a little confused about the current situation. He saw the stranger in front of him neither showing panic nor curiosity. He just stared blankly at Hao Ren and Anthony for a while, and then whispered for a long time. Muttering: "When will it be a head..."
Only then did Hao Ren understand 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, and the freezing air from the icy claws lifted the other's spirits, "Wake up, wake up, you are saved! You are poisoned and contaminated. The magic energy has been wiped out!"
The old man struggled to move his eyes, looked back and forth between Lily and Hao Ren several times, and then gradually woke up from the chaos. He suddenly took a deep breath and tried to sit up with his upper body propped up: "You... you are... who are you? Where am I?!"
"Relax, don't move around," Vivienne immediately stretched out her hand to hold the opponent'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 passing investigators."
"Investigators?!" The old man looked a little confused, "Where did the investigators come from!? You also came from the Twilight City? It's the Steam Council... No, it doesn't look like it. Are you... from other kingdoms? !"
Hao Ren scratched his hair: "Uh, 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 Ugudora Hill... Well, it seems that you are more Can't understand where 'outside' is, well we're from other kingdoms."
He just said that casually, but he didn't expect the old man to be extremely excited immediately after hearing this sentence, and he almost jumped up when he was recovering from a serious illness: "Other kingdoms! Other kingdoms! Afterglow in the dark! Sure enough, it's the same as the ancient book... It's the same as the ancient book... The universe collapsed, but a new fire ignited from the ashes of Ugudora Hill, and a new world will emerge after all... Where did you come from? Jotunheim? Niflheim? Walter Alheim? Is this Vanaheim? No... We've already passed through these kingdoms, and there's only scorched earth everywhere... Jotunheim is the best, 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 was 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. Germany came here, but we... well, well, 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 those dead teammates, his face showed obvious sadness: "Yes, I was the only one who survived. There were a dozen people when we set off, but the others Everyone is dead. I'm heading to Asgard, I knew there must be afterglow there, even if it's just to take a look... But I couldn't stand it. How did you get here? Could it be that you are also on the nine Looking for other survivors in this kingdom?"
"We'll talk about our affairs later," Nangong Sanba suddenly approached, "Old man, where are you from? Can you tell me about your affairs? Are there other human gathering places in this world?"
"My name is Wendell, Wendell Furlong," the old man remembered to introduce himself, "I come from Twilight City, the last bastion in the long night, I am a light seeker, looking for afterglow in the long night people. I don't know if there are any other realms besides Twilight... other than Asgard."
"Well, nice to meet you, Wendell," Hao Ren nodded, and introduced the people around him by the way, "You can call me Hao Ren, these are my friends, Vivian, Lily..."
After the two parties finished their introductions, Vivienne immediately asked, "Where is the Twilight City?"
"A long time ago it was called Midgard," the old man smiled wryly. "It's said in ancient books. But since the world collapsed and the day ended, the Midgard continent has been shrouded in darkness. Nearly 90% of the continent No longer viable, the remaining area is protected by a light curtain, a great Old One is our patron. How is the situation in Asgard? Is there a Twilight City there too?"
"According to your description, the situation in Asgard should be much better than that in your hometown." Hao Ren sighed, and at the same time 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 in the dark."
"Then a group of people like you should have arrived in Asgard a hundred years ago, and they paid homage to Heimdall on the battlefield in front of the Rainbow Bridge." Hao Ren frowned, "They didn't bring the news back What? You look like you don’t know anything about Asgard.”
Trembling, the old man took out a piece of parchment from his arms: "They failed to bring the news back. I know that group of warriors a hundred years ago, the bravest ones, must have found Asgard. , but they were wiped out on the return journey."
Vivienne took a look at the parchment and sighed, "Fate tricks people."
Undoubtedly, the group of hundred warriors mentioned by the old man a hundred years ago was the group of "battlefield scavengers" that appeared in the Valhalla surveillance video. Y'zaks' guess was wrong, those people were not on the battlefield Not treasure hunting, but investigating the existence of other spaces.
At that time, only five people appeared in the video, and the fate of the other 95 people can be imagined. Even for the five people who appeared in the video, they failed to bring back their discovery in the end.
Y'zaks came over suddenly: "Can you take us to your Twilight City?"
Wendell was taken aback when he saw Yzaks' big face. He hadn't looked at it carefully when Hao Ren made the introduction just now, but he suddenly exclaimed: "Ancestors, descendants of giants!!"
Y'zaks: "…"
"Uh, this is not a giant, although the giants back then were indeed so ugly," Vivienne waved her hands awkwardly, "Let's talk about the Twilight City."
Wendell naturally nodded without thinking. In fact, after seeing this group of strangers in front of him, a strange sense of ecstasy and unreality has completely enveloped his heart. In this dizzy state, he felt that he would agree to almost anything—as long as It's good that all this doesn't dissipate like a dream.
And until embarking on the journey back to Midgard, Wendell still failed to recover from this dizzy state.
"I...should go to Asgard first," Wendell said suddenly on the way, "I still can't believe it..."
"Oh, that's easy," Galazore nodded, and took out his data terminal casually, "Just show you the video. If you really want to do a field trip, wait until we're done with our business. Then you There are plenty of opportunities to visit everywhere.”
The data terminal suddenly projected the landscape of Asgard, with vast plains, twisted but still green jungles, the resplendent ruins of Asgard, and the clear sky. Although Asgard was also destroyed by the Twilight of the Gods, and there were scorched earth ruins outside Asaph Garden, compared to the other major countries that have been completely turned into distorted foreign lands...
Asgard is as beautiful as heaven.
Wendell was taken aback by the incredible "data terminal" at first, but he was quickly attracted by the scenery on the holographic projection. He stared at the things on the image as if obsessed, and he didn't recover until Galazore coughed impatiently beside him.
"Ah... Sorry, I've never seen this kind of thing..." Wendell shook his head, with a look of excitement and confusion, "I've never seen this kind of scene, I've seen similar descriptions in some ancient books, But I didn't know it actually looked like this. It's... beautiful. Unbelievable that somewhere in the corner of the world, a place has been revived to such an extent that we should have known about it sooner, the Steam Council in Twilight We should have known sooner...”
"Tell us about the Twilight City," Vivienne said suddenly, "What kind of place is that, and how did you survive after the collapse of the Nine Kingdoms?"
"Before that, we'd better change the means of transportation," Anthony glanced at Wendell, "It seems that you have almost recovered after walking for such a distance, are you airsick?"
"Airsick?" Wendell was a little confused.
The old mage raised his hand, and his magical spherical aircraft appeared out of nowhere: "I'm talking about this, the aircraft." (To be continued~^~)
