Chapter 70 God’s Chosen - Xiao En!

It's going to change!

When Xiao En walked out of the secret temple, the sky outside was already gray, and the dark clouds seemed to be brewing a terrible storm.

"Investigator Sean, umbrella."

Bishop Rhodes, who was standing by, handed a black umbrella to Xiao En attentively, and the young priest not far away was surprised. You know, Bishop Rhodes has a very special status in Dorne City, and it is rare to see him so enthusiastic towards others.

Xiao En reached out and took the umbrella and said, "Thank you."

Rumble!
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

When Xiao En looked up at the sky, he saw a crack in the sky under the lightning. The crack looked like an arc-shaped pattern, like a pair of strange open wings. The rolling dark clouds quickly covered everything. When the lightning flashed again, everything he had just seen seemed like an illusion.

Crackling!

A huge storm came, and Sean walked out of the temple area holding an umbrella. Before he reached the tram stop on the road, there was a rumbling thunder, and a jumping arc of electricity suddenly appeared at the intersection ahead, followed by a muffled bang, and smoke suddenly came out of the moving tram.

The city of Dorne had always had trams, and the sudden storm not only destroyed the trams, but also blew off the wires at the intersection with a crackling sound.

"The weather is a bit abnormal." Xiao En frowned and looked up at the sky.

He had been in Dorne for so long, but this was the first time he saw such dark and rolling clouds, which looked a bit like a typhoon in his previous life. Even the telephone poles on the roadside were blown crooked.

Pedestrians around were looking for places to shelter from the rain.

The current time is 5:30 in the afternoon, which is just the time to go home from get off work. Because of the sudden storm, many people have to find a place to temporarily take shelter from the rain. The dense rain is like an upside-down river in the sky, blocking the view in an instant, and it is difficult to see even ten meters away.

Fortunately, the sewers in Dorne were built very spaciously and connected directly to the river and the estuary, otherwise such a big storm would quickly cause flooding.

sizzle.

During the storm, the street lights flickered for a moment, and then began to go out one after another.

"power cut?"

Xiao En frowned and looked into the distance. The light in the darkness was extinguishing little by little. It was the first time he had experienced a power outage in Dorne. Fortunately, many people in this era always had candles at home. After a few minutes, a faint candlelight lit up in the window of the residential building opposite.

After half an hour.

Sean rushed back to the Night Watch headquarters in the rain. As soon as he got back here, he went straight to the entrance of the underground corridor.

"I want to see the gravekeeper."

The person guarding the door was a retired high-ranking night watchman, who looked to be in his 50s or 60s, with a weathered face and withered arms, like an old man with no vitality. The night watchman had aged very quickly because he had used the holy relics and seals too many times. If he could not break through the legendary destiny, his life span would be basically the same as that of an ordinary person.

Among the twelve mythological paths, only those who follow the natural path have the longest lifespan.

An Archdruid could theoretically live for 1,600 years.

The old night watchman stared at Sean in front of him, nodded slightly, and walked into the underground passage with a lamp in his hand.

Xiao En hurried to catch up.

"The security here seems to be stricter than before." He felt the guards hidden in the darkness. There were more than one of them, all of them were high-level extraordinary people.

In front of a dark door engraved with countless mysterious runes.

Xiao En once again saw the mysterious gravekeeper, who was tall, hunched, with gray hair dragging on the ground and holding a lamp. Xiao En looked at her, opened his palm to reveal a special black moon emblem, and on the back was a blood-red full moon. He said in a deep voice: "The oracle of Lady Hecate!"

"From now on, the Black Moon Cult will be under my unified command!"

The gravekeeper stared at Xiao En in front of her after hearing this. After a moment, she leaned forward slightly and said, "Follow the lady's oracle!"

"plz follow me."

"God's Chosen One!"

The real power of Lady Hecate in the real world is not in the church area. There are only a few priests in the church area who are extraordinary people, and the rest are ordinary people. Her real cult is underground in the headquarters of the Night Watch. The Black Moon Cult is a group of extraordinary people who believe in her. However, because the lady does not need the faith of mortals, the scale of this cult is not very large.

Many of them are night watchmen who are about to die of old age!

Mortals are in desperate need of faith when they are close to death. The Black Moon Cult is a group of extraordinary people who worship ladies and hope to be protected by Lady Hecate after death. After all, the underworld of the grotesque kingdom is not quite the same as what mortals know.

Because the underworld does not exist here, or rather, the weird kingdom itself is the underworld.

This is also why there are soul worms in the cemetery.

The space of the entire weird kingdom is distorted. The underworld and reality overlap, giving birth to the first undead wandering souls. Although humans have regained their destiny of death, the underworld has not returned. It has completely merged with the weird kingdom.

Ordinary people living in the weird kingdom is almost like living people staying in the underworld.

Under dim fluorescence.

In this vast underground maze, figures walked out from the darkness one after another.

The old gatekeeper who had led Xiao En before slowly stood at the front of the team. He stared at Xiao En in front of him and leaned over calmly and said, "Black Moon Cult, Leader - Earl, Warrior Path, Dark Guard."

The weird kingdom never cares about good or evil, because everyone uses the power of monsters.

The old man in front of him is the leader of the Black Moon Cult, a high-level transcendent on the Warrior Path. His promotion path is the Dark Guard, a promotion path mixed with some power of evil gods and demons.

During the Dark Ages, the Weird Kingdom was once connected to other dimensions. The powerful beings from other worlds who died here, including gods, also left their extraordinary essences in the Weird Kingdom.

All those who die in the weird kingdom will have the essence of their powers swallowed up and distorted by the weird kingdom.

Behind the old man was a woman who looked younger, probably in her thirties. She did not look like a normal person because dark red scales had grown on her side face. She stared at Xiao En in front of her, leaned forward slightly, and said calmly with a hint of arrogance in her voice: "Black Moon Cult, deputy leader - Clotilda, Warlock Path, Dragon Vein Warlock."

An extremely rare extraordinary being.

In the weird kingdom, warlocks can only be promoted through bloodline, which means that most of them are descendants of other extraordinary people, and the inherited bloodline gives them powerful spellcasting abilities.

In the weird kingdom, it is basically difficult for people who have no strong ancestors to be promoted to the path of warlock.

The wizard path depends on talent, and the warlock path depends on bloodline.

They are all born extraordinary.

As for the Dragon Vein Warlock, there were no dragons in the Weird Kingdom a long time ago. The only explanation for her promotion to a Dragon Vein Warlock was that her ancestors had devoured and fused the genes of dragons. The last dragon in the Weird Kingdom, the Crazy Abyss Disaster - Carnosirdi, was killed by the demigods in the second year after the end of the Dark Age.

Its corpse turned into a disaster hill that stretched for hundreds of kilometers in the south of the weird country.

From then on, there was no real dragon in the Weird Kingdom.

"Dragon Vein?" Xiao En looked deeply at the woman in front of him and nodded slightly.

She looked much younger, but was probably older than the others, as those of dragon bloodline had a long lifespan.

A hunched figure appeared in the shadows. He took off his hood, revealing an old face, even older than Earl in front of him. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Black Moon Cult, Zelth, Wanderer's Path, Tricker Assassin."

This is a face that is somewhat similar to Benjamin, looking like an elderly Benjamin, but he is too old, probably in his seventies, and his outline is like Saruman wearing a gray robe.

The extraordinary people in the weird country will not break through the bottleneck as they age, and cannot prove the path to destiny, so they will be high-level extraordinary people all their lives.

Eventually they can only die of old age quietly, and they have to arrange their funeral affairs so that they cannot lose control before they die of old age.

Lady Hecate can grant them a peaceful sleep.

The last figure was very sturdy and strong. He had a messy beard, a short-sleeved shirt, and linen trousers. He looked like a strong old man in his fifties or sixties. He smiled at Xiao En and said, "Black Moon Cult, Rocky, Warrior Path, Sword Saint."

Ok?
Xiao En's expression was slightly surprised. He moved a little in confusion and saw that behind the old man in front of him, there seemed to be a thick gray fog that could not be dissolved.

This gray fog is the "air" of the weird kingdom.

It is a tangible and substantial energy. When Sean walked out of the high wall, he saw the gray fog covering the world, a distorted aura.

These are all the members of the Order of the Black Moon in Dorne.

Most of them are relatively old Night Watchmen. Although they have not been promoted to Legendary Destiny, no one should look down on Night Watchmen who have lived to this age. After giving up their positions to the new generation of extraordinary people, these retired Night Watchmen spend most of their time guarding the holy relics and sealed objects.

Night watchmen are slightly better than investigators, as fewer investigators survive to retirement.

The real world has become more turbulent in recent years, probably because the Old Ones are about to awaken, and the proportion of Night Watchmen killed in the line of duty has also increased a lot.

Xiao En looked at the people in front of him and said in a deep voice: "What is happening in Dorne City now, you should all know it, right?"

Earl, the leader, nodded slowly. So many people died outside, they couldn't possibly not know about it, but they couldn't leave their posts without orders. If some terrible sealed objects got out, more people would die.

Sean took a deep breath.

He looked at the night watchmen in front of him, bowed deeply and said, "Then I'll leave it to you all!"

The Night's Watch must not lose this battle.

The turmoil in Deler has broken the balance of the real world. The locust plague that covers the sky and the sun means that part of the real world has been torn apart, and some of the laws of the weird kingdom have begun to affect the real kingdom. The extraordinary essence of the outside world is flowing into the real kingdom.

If Dorne falls, the gate to the spirit world will open.

Each place in the Twelve Realms suppresses the corresponding world laws. Dorne is a country under the protection of the Path of Death, and what is suppressed here is the entrance to the spiritual world.

The accident in Deller means the return of "natural disasters". If Dorne also falls, it will be a "night parade of a hundred demons".

Once reality is torn open, the crack will become bigger and bigger.

Deep in the underground labyrinth.

"I want to call upon Sealed Object No. 1 - the Mechanical Brain!" Xiao En said in a deep voice, looking at the gravekeeper in front of him.

Of the many sealed objects in Dorne City, Sean can only use one mechanical brain, and the other sealed objects are very difficult for him to use with his strength.

His strength is still too weak.

Although Sean's promotion speed was faster than many extraordinary people, he completed the three-year journey of other wizards in six months and was promoted to the level of a three-ring wizard in one go. However, the weird kingdom is not a place that will give you normal development time. When he was with the butcher, a powerful psychic extraordinary secretly attacked Sean and planted mental hints. After returning to the real world, he repeatedly encountered high-level extraordinary people. Now even the legend of destiny may have entered the real kingdom and came to Dorne.

This is a fucking place!
There is no such thing as the big bullying the small in the weird kingdom, otherwise Loris wouldn't have died so unclearly.

If the Butcher and Lady Hecate hadn't protected him at the beginning, Sean might have become food for the "unspeakable illusion" in the weird kingdom. This is not a world suitable for ordinary people to survive. Now even the last habitat of ordinary people, the real kingdom, is about to be torn apart.

When the world rules of the weird kingdom merge with reality, the entire real world will fall into a passive "monster spawning" mode.

Where order is gone, madness sets in.

This is what Eamon wanted.

One of the former fire thieves, now the master of the Priory of Grey Whispers, is tearing reality apart.

Xiao En didn't want anyone to destroy the last shelter left for ordinary people that those "nobodys" had sacrificed their lives to build.

He chose to stand by Lady Hecate and do his part.

"Even if we want to start a supernatural era, we shouldn't use such an extreme and crazy method!"

"Superhumans can go out, but they must not spawn monsters in the real world!"

This is kidnapping everyone.

A lot of innocent people would die.

Ordinary people's lives are also lives, they are also trying to live, it is not only the extraordinary who bear the madness of the world. If you ask Xiao En to fight for someone, he will think about it carefully, but if you ask him to fight for all living beings, he will not hesitate.

A person who has died once is actually not that afraid of death. Life has no meaning. The meaning of life is to find its meaning by yourself.

He couldn't just sit there and watch all this happen and do nothing!
In front of a secret room sealed by rune chains.

Xiao En came here again, but this time he was not as nervous as at the beginning.

The real world is an incomplete world, because the demigods who created the real world also left a backup plan. They were afraid that humans would become addicted to the real world and unwilling to face the reality. Therefore, the laws of the real world are flawed, and it will never be possible to be promoted to a true "legend of destiny."

This forces high-level extraordinary people to enter the weird kingdom to complete their destiny.

It is said that in other alien worlds, the residents of the kingdom of God will never be able to advance to the Destiny. Xiao En doesn't know what the demigods did back then, but he has already guessed where the real kingdom is.

Likewise, as the price of all this.

The real world also rejects legendary beings. If they want to stay here, they must fight against the power of 'Ascension'.

This ascension is certainly not the immortal ascension in the Eastern tradition, but the repulsive force of the laws of the real world. If the legend of destiny wants to stay in the real world, it must use some special means, otherwise it can only descend to the real world temporarily.

This is also why the Death Patrol is the ceiling of the real world.

In the weird kingdom, most of the legendary evil creatures were kept out by the human miracle, the 'Twelve Realms of Clock Nirvana'.

Only human beings themselves can destroy the order of the real country from within!

The weird kingdom is a place where demigods are everywhere and legends are worse than dogs. Any legendary evil creature that enters the real kingdom can easily destroy a city with hundreds of thousands of people.

Sean roughly guessed what the Doomsday Circus was doing now.

"Open the door."

Xiao En looked at the gravekeeper beside him. He felt the knowledge in his brain was restless. The knowledge was both longing for and afraid of Seal No. 1.

At the demigods' negotiation table, everyone is a bargaining chip.

If Dorne's Night's Watch loses, the balance of negotiations will tilt towards Aamon, because it means he has the power to turn the table!
As for Sean, he has now joined the Doomsday Circus and the Night Watch’s arena as the ‘chosen one’ and the agent of Lady Hecate.

He can hide, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

He is not outstanding, but he is never cowardly.

hum!
A heavy door opened, and a silver-white rune glowed. Sean slowly walked in. As he arrived, the roar of machines running came from the huge black case.

On the black display screen, a flash of blue light suddenly appeared, as if it was an electronic demon that did not exist in the real world, and it slowly opened its "eyes".

It stared at Sean in front of it.

Xiao En took a deep breath and sat in front of the mechanical brain.

——"Eamon is back."

The blue screen flickered slightly, and under the cursor, the mechanical brain roared: "..."

Xiao En raised his hand and tapped the cold keyboard: "He wants to tear reality apart and descend into the weird kingdom."

Sealed Artifact No. 1: “…”

Xiao En continued to knock: "Now is not the right time, we have to stop him."

Sealed Artifact No. 1: “…”

"What do you want?"

Xiao En took a deep breath and tapped, "Give me the authority to access the door key."

Sealed Artifact No. 1: “…”

"You want to open the legacy?"

"Are you sure you're qualified? Outsider?"

Xiao En was silent for a long time, then tapped out, "I think I'm qualified."

A bunch of garbled characters flashed on the display of Seal No. 1.

After a moment, its cursor flashed: "That is used to deal with the legacy of the old days. If you are not qualified, you will die!"

Sean smiled.

He responded with the same sentence: “I think I’m qualified.”

If it was the legacy they left behind, Sean felt that he was qualified to open it and take a look, because before he walked into this dark secret room, Sean had already asked himself, and he did all this without any selfish motives.

He had felt the despair of the world, and he couldn't just sit back and watch this happen.

The fire of hope of ordinary people cannot be extinguished.

The reason is that simple.
