Chapter Seventy-Six: She's Got Right Again
The Spore Mill is not that big.
The city is beneath the razorneck, but it's not a shadow city of the razorneck. When there are few residents, it is easy for a large area to accumulate a lot of garbage β and it can be inconvenient to buy groceries or go out to eat.
And the habit of the underground city is ...... In residential areas at the urban level, the fewer production facilities the better.
Underneath there are specialized planting and exploration layers for the production of various raw materials; The transportation and freight transportation of the underground city is particularly convenient, and at the same time, the extreme land is sparsely populated. This has led to a severe shortage of labor.
However, if there are no production facilities at all, freight subways and merchants will not pass by as diligently, and the various commodities and basic materials needed will also be out of stock.
Generally speaking, smaller, less well-known cities don't have a name of their own.
The same is true of the former "Black Mushroom Mill", and today's "Spore Mill".
It used to be a logging area for the "Ash Woods".
Yes, there are trees in the Underworld, tooβthe cursed aura that overflows from the planting layer, combined with the light source provided by the Light Ant Sky Dome, can give birth to trees with special properties.
For example, the Ash Woods, nicknamed the "Lost Forest", is the same forest that was passed through during the nightmare of the Spore Mill.
This strange gray tree, which grows very distorted and abstract, is actually a precious ritual material. Cut into pieces and incinerated as a ritual, it can be used as a ritual-based ingredient to get lost, and only grows in a few urban layers.
It's not very practical, but it's very cherished.
If you can find a relatively straight, good-quality ash wood, you can sell it for a very high price. A spell bow made of ash wood as the main material can make the arrows shoot with the ability of [Phantom Shot].
That is, the "arrow" in the eyes of the enemy will deviate from the actual position of the arrow. The higher the rate of fire, the higher the angle of the subject from which the illusion deviates...... As a result, a skilled hunter can even control the rate of fire to completely confuse the enemy about the true location of the arrow, achieving a near-invisible arrow effect.
The gray mushrooms that grow on decaying ash wood can also be hallucinating. When ground into powder, it can be made into a colorless and transparent hallucinogenic poison.
"We live in the Grey Woods."
Niusel explained to Annan and his party: "You have to take the leaves of the ash wood as a 'beacon' to get to the right place, but I don't have extra leaves. So keep up with yourselves and don't fall behind; If you fall behind, don't take a step, just stand where you are and wait for us to come back; If anyone finds someone left behind, remember to remind them as soon as possible.
"It's not a joke to get lost here. Without beacons and the ability to locate through smell and perception, it's really hard to get out of here...... Because ash wood creates illusions, people misjudge the distance and spacing between things.
"If you go the same way and turn back at the end of the road, you may not be able to go back to the original position."
He holds a leaf of ash wood near his home - the same kind of leaf that the courier held in the nightmare.
If you hold a leaf from a tree in your hand, you can get "lost" to the area where the leaf belongs without resisting the ashwagand's lost effect.
- It's also a kind of key, or autopilot map.
"Wait a minute?"
Lin Yiyi was keenly aware of the details: "Do you live together?" β
Annan actually noticed this, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
I always feel like I'm going to lower my compulsion.
ββ¦β¦ Ah, yes. β
When asked about this topic by the girl, Niusel turned his head a little embarrassed.
He replied, "After all, we have to communicate with each other at any time, so we can only live closer." And she just wants to live in the gray woods, and she doesn't want to be disturbed......"
No need to explain, friend. Anyone who understands understands.
Annan smiled silently.
Niusel argued again, saying things like "they haven't decided on a relationship yet", "they just live together, it's pure" or something. But Lin Yiyi's expression became more and more strange.
It's true love. Maybe it's still the first love.
This pure love...... Ah, that's right.
If there were no outsiders, she might have writhed like a maggot.
The wine was a little curious.
That Nefertari ...... What will it look like, exactly?
The big man is loyal to the dog deacon, and he always feels that if the other party is a short tsundere lady, it will be a good match. Or the kind of lady who is delicate and frail in a wheelchair is also good......
Fourth, he is walking very innocently and seriously.
Because he was warned that he might get lost, he nervously followed Annan and was not far behind...... I don't know what the two girls behind me are thinking.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as "dark" in the underworld.
They walked for about an hour before they saw the small Western-style pavilion in front of them.
Like the houses in other underground cities, they are very large - after all, land is the least valuable thing here, and it is even cheaper than furniture. How big a house you want to build depends only on the wishes of the owner.
Niusel didn't pull out the key.
He just walked to the door and pushed open the unlocked door.
"Nefertari!"
He shouted inside, "I'm back with a guest!" β
"Huh?!"
Nefertari's somewhat flustered voice came from inside: "Wait a minute, the house hasn't been cleaned up yet-"
"What are you packing, it's the one with the Hidden Eye. It's not a ...... to meet parents."
"Die, you idiot!"
The four of Annan stood politely at the door and did not follow up immediately.
After a few more moments, Nefertari hurriedly opened the door.
A red-haired, scorching maiden, dressed in a violet robe. The slightly longer sleeves each hang down with a white ribbon.
She placed her hands on her abdomen, and the ribbon was folded together and hung straight down to the top of her feet.
Somewhat restrainedly, he bowed to Annan: "First meeting, Your Excellency Gilandaio."
"It came so suddenly, I didn't have any preparation here...... It's rude. β
"No, it's this side that's being rude."
Ghirlandaio smiled gently, "I came without first asking." It's good that I didn't cause you any trouble. β
How could there be no trouble-
I'm wearing pajamas at home! How can you meet people casually!
Nefertari muttered to herself.
But she didn't dare say it.
According to the information she found, this hidden eye is probably the ancient Church of the Sun.
Although Nefertari himself is not transcendent.
But that doesn't mean she can't fight the transcendent.
Many of the jewelry she was carrying were spells. It has the role of a school of prophets and idols. But the verification and detection effects of these spells slipped silently in the face of Ghirandao.
It's not that the detection failed, but that it didn't work at all.
It's like the person in front of you is not alive...... It's like a stone statue with no consciousness and no emotion.
But how is this possible?
Her spell had been given by her teacher, another Gold-Tier Transcendent.
- There is no doubt that he is not silver at all.
Nefertari thought quickly.
Judging from the fact that there was no effect when the other party was disarmed, it should not be a certain god. But the effect of being able to silently slide away the spell on his body is at least a gold-level transcendent who hides his identity...... Maybe even some Sage!
Yes, the nightmare of purifying the underworld, nothing good for them. It may even be useless.
But if the other party is the Justice, Perseverance, or Mercy of this generation...... There seems to be a motivation for behavior.
After all, the Sage is able to derive power from the corresponding actions.
- Just like a god.
Thinking of this, Nefertari quickly glanced at Ghirandaeo's body.
As far as she knew, the bones of Righteousness were hearts, Perseverance was the bones of two hands to forearms, and Mercy was a tongue. As for the obvious location of the "right arm", "skin", "eye" and so on of the other holy bones, it is even more impossible.
Ghirlandaio's hands didn't glow, and his tongue didn't seem to be out of the or.
So......
He should be the bearer of the [Righteousness] Holy Bones?
