Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

In the God-forsaken land, it was a night with very low lightning frequency.

Located at the easternmost part of the God-forsaken Land, in a surviving human city-state called Moon City, a mass is being held.

As the angel of the Fool, Klein successfully performed a miracle in front of the residents of Moon City—curing their deformities with the power of miracles.

Unlike Silver City, where they can eat black grass, the residents of Moon City can only pick mutated plant fruits and collect monster flesh and blood to survive. This will cause them to accumulate toxins and go crazy, and after their physical condition declines, they will either die soon or gradually lose control.

But the price of accumulating toxins and madness from generation to generation is far more than just a decrease in the average age. Those who are still in normal physical condition will gradually show certain abnormalities. Some have dozens of tumors, some have eyes almost squeezed together, and some have no nose at all, with a black hole in its place.

Likewise, the accumulated toxins and madness may be passed on to future generations, resulting in deformities.

Their lives will be shorter and more likely to get out of control and mutate.

And in Yuecheng, almost all the newborn babies are deformed!
This means that within perhaps two or three generations, the residents of Moon City may get out of control before they have fully grown their bodies and given birth to a new generation.

In that case, even without an external attack, Moon City would be destroyed quickly, leaving only stone buildings, wall paintings and other traces that prove their existence.

Under such circumstances, the appearance of Klein was undoubtedly the savior sent by the gods to save them!

Because he not only cured and purified the deformities of the Moon City residents, he also promised that they could leave this dark, God-forsaken place and return to normal life!

Under the power of the 'Miracle', this ancient city-state became a believer of the 'Fool' without any resistance, and the process was smoother than that of the City of Silver.

At the end of the mass, Moon City High Priest Nim walked up to Klein and asked respectfully:

"Your Highness Hermann, what is the great Lord's full name?"

Klein looked around, his face tense, and said solemnly:
"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

The residents of Moon City listened to this with excitement, clasped their hands, lowered their heads, and shouted loudly:
"Praise the Fool!"
-
After finishing the High Mass, Klein left Moon City and headed eastward, arriving at an area where the sky and land were covered in gray fog. The gray fog was like an invisible barrier that not only blocked vision but also prevented any living creature from passing through.

Klein stared at the silent gray mist for dozens of seconds without moving, as if he had turned into a statue.

Before coming here, he originally thought that the East Continent was Europe and the West Continent was Asia.

But after coming here, I found that this perception was wrong.

Because after this period of exploration, Klein has discovered that the "Eastern Continent" is much larger than he imagined. If you compare it with the world map projection he took out from the historical gap, you will find that the Eastern Continent not only refers to Europe, but also includes most of Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

As for the areas isolated by this gray fog, there are only East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

In addition, the Newins civilization in the legendary Misty Sea corresponds to Australia. However, due to some unknown accident, this civilization and the entire continent sank to the bottom of the sea...

Klein withdrew his thoughts and returned his gaze to the gray mist.

He had tried various methods, but he could not open a passage in the gray mist. Although chanting the name of 'Tianzun' caused large ripples in the gray mist, he could not really outline the real 'door'.

Klein was somewhat disappointed, but not surprised.

After all, the reason why Moon City moved here and guarded this gray fog was because they accepted the order of the Ancient Sun God. If even the Ancient Sun God in his prime couldn't do anything about this gray fog, how could he, who was only Sequence 2, be an exception?

Maybe he could come here and try again when he becomes a true God, but now he has more important things to do.

Klein cast his gaze towards the deep pit not far away. There used to be a "hill" there, which was also the reason why he came here.

He didn't know in advance that there was such an area here, but he came here to track down the dark wolf Kotal.

As an angel of the 'Fortune Teller' path, Klein could clearly understand how strong this path's ability to save lives was better than anyone else. And if he wanted to accurately locate the location of the Dark Wolf in the God-Forsaken Land, he had to understand the Dark Wolf in depth and look for traces of its past to understand its specific situation.

By tracing back through various traces, he has found three places where the Dark Demon Wolf had hidden in the past, but the gains were not too great.

The reason was simple. Amon had predicted Klein's actions and had destroyed all the clues and traces that were beneficial to him in advance.

The only place that could be of some help to Klein was Moon City.

Fortunately, this is also the most important clue.

On June 1349, 6, Zhou Mingrui traveled through time and space and became Klein Moretti.

At the same time, the gray-white mist in front of him, which seemed to have remained unchanged for eternity, "spit out" a curtain, which was eventually obtained by the Dark Demon Wolf.

During the tracking process, Klein felt that the Dark Wolf was increasingly difficult to deal with.

It’s not because He is so strong, but because He can run!

After all, there is a reason why the Dark Wolf has been able to survive in the God-forsaken Land for so many years and even Amon has been unable to capture it successfully.

But for Klein, this was not an unsolvable dead end—

Because no matter how cautious the Dark Wolf is, one thing is certain.

That is, the Dark Wolf that obtained the 'Curtain' will definitely start to advance to Sequence 1!

"That is to say, no matter where the Dark Wolf is, he must be preparing for the ritual of the 'Secret Servant'. He must be collecting a large number of secret puppets and creating a puppet city. In this way, his whereabouts will definitely not be traceable!"

Klein took a deep breath. He now had two ways to locate the Dark Wolf.

One is divination, the other is prayer.

Klein has been searching for the past of the Dark Wolf. In fact, he is also looking for traces of the Dark Wolf left behind to perform divination.

But the Dark Wolf had been hunted by Amon for many years, and the word "caution" had been engraved into his bones. Before each transfer, he would try his best to eliminate everything around him that had any connection with him.

Even if there were any remnants, they had all been destroyed by Amon—the time angel clearly did not want Klein to become a god before him.

But the object of Klein's divination was not the Dark Wolf, but the curtain he had obtained.

Unlike the Dark Wolf, which left almost no trace, the curtain had disappeared, but the deep pit that was "infected" by the curtain remained intact. Therefore, Klein could use the infected soil in the deep pit to directly divine the whereabouts of this item - the Dark Wolf would not give up the "curtain", so finding the "curtain" was equivalent to finding the Dark Wolf!
Of course, this approach has obvious pros and cons.

The advantage is that it can quickly locate the Dark Wolf's current hiding place. The disadvantage is that this method is likely to disturb Him, making Him alert and evasive.

And once He notices it, given His suspicious nature, He will abandon everything without hesitation and move to another place.

As for prayer, that was the tip that the Hermit gave to Klein.

The Dark Wolf would normally turn off the automatic response to prayers, to prevent the enemy from using feedback to establish contact and lock onto its location.
Under this premise, when faced with a sudden strange prayer, one would undoubtedly rely on the corresponding light spot to observe who is on the other side, obtain more information, and make some preparations for what may happen in the future;

But doing so also has obvious pros and cons.

The advantage is that doing so is less stimulating than divination, and the Dark Wolf may not move away immediately.

The downside is that the Dark Wolf will definitely realize that this is a trap.

When an angel with the Source Castle prays to him, even a fool can realize that the angel is coveting him.

For the Dark Demon Wolf, the best option is of course to directly extinguish the prayer light spot.

As long as “He” didn’t respond or pay attention, it would be useless for Klein to pray—Klein did the same when praying to Amon.

But Klein didn't believe that the Dark Wolf Kotar really had no idea about Sefirah Castle!

When Klein prayed to the Dark Wolf, the other party had absolute initiative. This initiative would undoubtedly give people an illusion that the advantage was mine.

As long as the Dark Wolf has this illusion, "He" will not move immediately, which gives Klein an opportunity.

"I have the initiative in 'divination', but the dark wolf will definitely be scared away."

"'Pray' means the other party has the initiative, but the possibility of failure is also very high..."

Klein thought for a moment and immediately decided on a plan—pray first, then divine!
-
Deep in the rolling mountains, inside an ancient castle.

Giants, elves, humans, and vampires serve as gardeners, cooks, butlers, maids, and guards respectively. They all have different expressions and will whisper to each other when they meet, appearing very lively and spiritual.

Deep in the castle, in a hall that was only illuminated by the lightning outside the window, a huge figure lay quietly in the darkness.

It was like a small mountain, covered with short dark hair, with a pitch-black pupil occupying at least three-quarters of the eye, a tuft of gray hair on its forehead, and a head that resembled an enlarged and distorted wolf.

This is none other than the 'God of Wishes', the Dark Wolf Kotar!
Suddenly, this demon wolf, which was even more exaggerated than an ordinary giant, raised its head, moved its eyes slightly, and tilted its head slightly, as if listening to something.

Someone is praying to Him!
Without any hesitation, Kotal's real body quickly hid in the historical pores, and at the same time asked the summoned historical projection to make a wish and move to a mountain far away from his real body.

After making the corresponding preparations, He finally felt relieved and checked the figure that was praying to Him.

He was a young man wearing a strange hat and strange clothes. His body was covered with a layer of grayish-white mist, and in the mist were some things whose specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

Sefirah Castle? Kotal had heard some things from the ancient god, Flegra, the king of demon wolves, and instantly had some guesses.

Under this premise, He immediately guessed the young man's purpose——

This is a bait!
The other party wanted to use the 'Source Castle' to attract Him, let Him take the initiative to attack, and thus determine His position in reverse!
But how could the Dark Wolf, who is suspicious by nature, be fooled?
Sefirah Castle did indeed make him excited, but the reason why he was still alive today was because he was able to control his desires very well!
The dark wolf made a quick decision and was about to extinguish the prayer light.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

From the gray mist, raging flames surged out like a wild beast on the loose.

The young man's figure was quickly engulfed by flames and he curled up on the ground in pain.

The Dark Demon Wolf was shocked. He could feel the terrifying power contained in the flames, but he could not understand this sudden change.

He clearly had no intention of taking action, so who attacked that young man? Was there someone else coveting Sefirah Castle?

A lot of chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and one of them stood out in particular -

That is, perhaps He could take this opportunity to seize Sefirah Castle!

"No, observe first!"

The Dark Wolf's vigilant and suspicious nature made it calm down quickly and temporarily put aside its greed.

But he still inevitably changed his strategy - putting himself in danger was not advisable, but he could observe more and at least know who attacked the other party.

After all, since the other party will take action to seize Sefirah Castle, then perhaps I am also within the opponent's target range.

It never hurts to observe more.

With this thought in mind, the Dark Demon Wolf observed more carefully. He tried to see the essence of the flame and also wanted to see how the young man would react to the sudden attack.

But to his disappointment, the other party didn't seem to react at all.

He just let his historical projection be devoured by the flames and did nothing.

But that's true, after all, it's just a historical projection, and it won't matter even if you die.

But what exactly is that flame?
Such doubts deeply troubled the Dark Wolf. In his thousands of years of life, he had never seen such a strange attack. The flame seemed to be somewhat similar to the ancient sun god, but he could realize that the two had completely different natures.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Dark Demon Wolf suddenly discovered something, that is, the flames seemed to become more violent!

The flames became brighter and brighter, and the area they covered became larger and larger.

It was as if the flame was burning right before Him...

The dark wolf frowned and blinked subconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again, he was filled with disbelief. Because even if he closed his eyes, the flames were still reflected in his sight!
It was as if the flame no longer existed only in the prayer light, but appeared within His body!
The pupils of the Dark Wolf could not help but shrink, because he suddenly realized something that frightened him—

He was polluted!
