Chapter 368 Farewell Wine
The dim hall was filled with various seemingly magnificent decorations.
The entire hall is decorated with gold and blood red.
Countless figures in blood-red robes came and went in the hall.
Perfect skulls are inlaid everywhere in the hall, dotted with golden liquid.
If you look closely at the blood-red color in the hall, you will find that it is all blood.
The bright red blood seemed to be flowing in the blood vessels, flowing through the grooves of this place.
The whole area had a sweet smell and was not dirty or smelly at all.
To reach the top of the temple, you need to climb 777 stairs.
Here lies a stacked chamber.
Kalutto, wearing tattered robes, knelt on the floor.
He was surrounded by various decorations made of piles of bones, which formed part of the ceremony.
"Great Master, I failed. After spending so much time, I still failed in the end.
I have betrayed your trust in me, I..."
There was a lot of sadness in Kaluoto's voice.
"No, Kalutto."
A dull sound was heard.
Hearing this, Kalutto quickly closed his mouth and knelt down in a more respectful posture.
"This time it was just an accident. You can't be blamed for it. The Church of the Four Gods has come. Your failure is inevitable."
This voice is so reasonable.
"But I wasted so much of your time..."
"No, just a short time."
Faced with the failure of a plan that had been going on for decades, the owner of the voice did not feel sad at all, but was in the mood to comfort Kalutto who was in charge of the plan.
"Your kindness allows me to..."
"Okay, let's stop talking here. I don't have much time to talk."
Hearing this, Kaluto nodded repeatedly and closed his mouth.
"Go find those guys. They will know what they are facing now. I hope you can succeed this time. Kaluto."
After saying this, the voice dissipated in the secret room.
Kalutto made a strange gesture: "Farewell, Master."
He maintained this posture for a few minutes before he slowly stood up from the ground.
Walked out of the secret room.
At this moment, he was in the habitat of the giant tree.
…
Alka looked at the map of the Giant Tree's habitat, looking at the red marking dot that kept staying in a certain place.
This red marked point has remained here since he walked out of the flower. It can be basically confirmed that this should be the fixed location of the cult group where Kaluto belongs.
Alka then put the map away.
It has almost become a habit for him to look at the map every once in a while.
What a pity , even if we know the exact location of the cult, it is of no use now.
Because of the information obtained from Gilliana, most of the cult groups have already determined their bases in the giant tree habitat.
It doesn't make much sense because that's the cult's territory.
"According to records, the most notable feature of the Devouring Mouth demon is the portal that looks like a giant mouth of flesh and blood.
This is the demon's most iconic ability, and is usually only used by the most important believers."
Simon flipped through the book in his hand, reading the introduction to the Devouring Mouth.
“The earliest record of this demon comes from before the war of gods, and the later records come from the demon tide thousands of years ago.
From then on, the demon became active again.
The Saralan Empire was almost destroyed by his conspiracy."
Simon then added: "This Saralan Empire is where the demonic tide broke out at that time."
Through Simon's explanation, everyone gained a simple understanding of the existence believed by their opponents.
"Are we going to have to face this demon while we're killing Kaluto?" Narvi asked.
If that's the case, then when will we be able to kill this damn monster?
Alka shook his head: “It’s unlikely, he should be able to borrow only a little power from this demon.
I should be able to only use the Devouring Mouth's function to teleport over long distances."
Whether it was him that time or the time when Arati did it yesterday, he relied on this trick to escape.
From the strength he showed, it can be seen that this guy's strength is still in the middle of the fourth stage, and his strength is not too exaggerated.
After all, according to their understanding, the current Land of Spirits can only withstand the entry of mid-level demons, which is already the limit.
This is because the flower fairy's control has decreased due to her revival.
After a brief exchange of information regarding Kaluto, Alka patted the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention and spoke.
"Now that the threat posed by the undead at the border of life and death has disappeared, this area has begun to push back. Reclaim those fallen areas. Now is the time to start thinking about our original goal this time."
When everyone heard this, they all knew what his goal was.
The treasure of the Nafas family.
"Don't wait until the flower fairy revives or they retake this area?" Xia Dai asked.
Alka shook his head. "According to the current progress, it will be difficult for them to reach the place we are going to. They will have to wait until the flower fairy fully recovers before they can completely recapture this occupied area.
But the place we are going to is safe. There is no so-called garrison point. All the undead forces in that area have been completely consumed in the last battle. "
What prevented the Flower People from regaining their lost territory was not just the undead, but the negative energy brought by the accumulation of a large number of undead, or even the chaos caused by the interweaving of death energy and life force.
It can be simply understood as a simplified version of the environment at the junction of life and death that has been weakened.
It always takes time and effort to repair.
"It will take too long for the flower fairy to revive. Without the supply of energy, the demons will no longer pour out.
Now is a rare opportunity.”
Hearing Alka's words, everyone nodded.
Now that that's been said, then of course we have to take it down. Just as Alka said, things are now almost over for the time being.
Even if those cultists want to make a comeback, they need time to prepare.
Now that the decision has been made, Xia Dai asked, "When are we going to set off?"
"Now," Alka said with a smile.
"Let's go slowly. After all, there is still such a long distance."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and quickly got ready.
He quickly said goodbye to everyone in the fortress and boarded the Flying Swallow Ship to where the Nafas family treasury was located.
Alka looked at the blue light on the map.
There are many more white dots on the entire map than before, and these white dots represent the time when this area fell.
So Alka seldom clicks on these white dots to learn their information.
The white spots are located at the locations of countless fallen villages and gathering places.
It is self-evident what these white dots represent.
These are all the properties left behind by the former flower people after their death.
Although it is ownerless.
But Alka didn't want to collect it.
…
After a few days of sailing.
They passed over the troops ahead.
The entire occupied area could indeed be felt to be much dirtier than the green and fresh environment they had experienced on the island before.
It has been polluted by the undead who have occupied this area for a long time.
Julia could clearly feel that the surrounding environment was becoming a little chaotic, and she already had a feeling of being on the verge of life and death.
You can feel it when the originally emerald green sea water turns into a light dark green.
You can often see wandering ghosts.
From the clothes on some of the undead and the rotten flesh on their bodies, it can be seen that these undead are fresh.
All of them were converted recently.
The clothes they wear clearly reflect the style of the Flower People.
These are the civilians in the villages and towns who were unable to escape due to the attack of the undead.
"By the way, how's Piaoqiu Village doing?" Jason suddenly asked while sitting on the boat.
After all, this village was the first village they encountered when they arrived in Zehai.
Simon raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "If I remember correctly, the village is behind the fortress, not far from the border. The village should be one of the first areas to fall."
Hearing this, Jason just nodded silently.
"Don't be too depressed, I have looked into it." Alka said suddenly.
He had actually seen intelligence information about Piaoqiu Village before. After all, it was one of the few places they knew and understood.
"After the large-scale attack, most of the villagers there retreated with the gardener and his men, and the militiamen were also incorporated into the team."
Hearing this, Jason nodded.
Although these villagers may not all be living well, at least not all of them are dead.
For them, this is good news.
After all, this is the first place they get to know here.
"Why not just go and take a look this time?" Alka looked at the white dot above the area where the Floating Ball Village was located.
Hearing this, Xia Daiti turned his head and looked at him.
Didn't say much, just nodded.
You know, it’s not on the way to Piaoqiu Village.
They had to walk half a day past the treasure point to reach it.
But since the team leader has spoken, it’s only a little more time, so no one minds.
Soon they could see some spherical rooms floating on the water in the distance.
Compared with the dozens of spheres in the past, there are only a few scattered around now, and many of them are shriveled and collapsed, with only a small part left on the sea surface.
The village was destroyed so thoroughly that it is almost impossible to rebuild it.
"I quite like these houses floating on the sea. What a pity." Lucilia sat on Alka's shoulder and sighed.
When they saw Piaoqiu Village for the first time, they were really amazed by the scenery here.
The village floating on the sea, and the round vine houses made of plants, are very interesting and make them feel the real special style.
Riding on the Feiyan, we slowly passed through the middle of the village.
In addition to the surrounding wreckage, everyone also saw many traces of fighting.
And some broken bones.
Now only some bones remain, still lying on the wreckage.
"Stop," Alka said suddenly.
Xia Dai had anticipated this and controlled the ship to stop.
Alka left the ship and boarded a mostly destroyed floating ball. Inside, he could see shriveled vines that had withered and collapsed, crushing some furniture.
There were no signs of fighting, blood or remains of human bodies.
There is only destruction and ruins.
Alka bent down slightly at the entrance and went in.
Disappeared in front of everyone.
"What is he doing in there?" Simon asked in confusion.
This is just an ordinary ruin, nothing special about it.
Xia Daiti shook his head: "I don't know, maybe there is something."
Although she said so, she probably thought that this house belonged to someone they had met in the village before.
Alka walked in and looked at the white light inside through the gap.
In the gap not far away, there is a wardrobe woven with vines and wooden strips.
Half of the wardrobe had collapsed, with the rattan on top pressing on top of it and some of the rattan already broken and stuck to the top.
The entire wardrobe was almost damaged.
Through the gap, Alka saw a faint white light, which was the outline of a white treasure.
Wave gently.
After clearing away the vines that were blocking his way, Alka came under the broken wardrobe.
Control the surrounding ruins to open the other half that is intact.
A pile of wine bottles at the bottom of the closet was revealed.
The wine bottles were stored in containers woven from vines and covered with a layer of gray cloth.
White light is attached to it.
This is a white treasure.
【Wine for friends】
[Difficulty: Children]
【Popularity: 9】
[Treasure Introduction: The very precious flower wine collected by Kuike from Piaoqiu Village - Manmiao Yuanxiang.
This is the wine we promised to drink to entertain friends we meet next time. 】
This white spot was also a light spot that had appeared before, but Alka had set his sights on the treasure of the Nafas family in the past few days.
Of course, you have to pay attention to the newly appearing white spots in the surrounding area , and then you will find that it is the Piaoqiu Village where you have stayed before.
He will naturally care more.
And this was the information that appeared after he clicked it, and this was also the reason why he came to the ruins of Piaoqiu Village.
Only nine are known.
Things that belonged to people I once knew have now become ownerless treasures.
Alka squatted down, took the pile of wine wrapped in vines into his arms, and walked out carefully.
The people outside watched Alka board the boat with a box of wine.
"Let's go to the treasure spot."
The boat started slowly, sailed out of Piaoqiu Village and returned in the direction they came from.
Juanlu looked at the wine in his hand, the gray cloth on it had been torn off.
The bottle is turquoise in color, made of some kind of translucent turquoise glass.
The mouth of the bottle is stopped up with some kind of cork.
There are also exquisite flower patterns carved on the bottle.
"This is the graceful and distant fragrance. I remember drinking it in the Land of Fragrance." Juan Lu said as he looked at it.
Alka smiled and nodded, placing the wine on the boat.
"One bottle each."
There were a total of 10 bottles in the wine basket, and there were exactly 10 people.
Alka took a bottle for himself, and the others also held a bottle in their hands. When Narvi reached out to take the last bottle, Alka held his hand and said.
"I'll give you half of mine. This bottle belongs to a friend."
After hearing this, some people looked puzzled, while others suddenly realized.
Only Narvi was a little confused, but since Alka said so, he naturally nodded.
A clean wine glass appeared in Alka's hand, he poured half of the wine from his bottle and handed it to Narvi.
With the other hand he opened the bottle of wine.
"Come on, let's have a toast! For our friends!"
"cheers!"
Alka picked up the two bottles in his hand and clinked them with everyone else.
He drank the remaining half bottle in one breath.
The alcohol taste is not too strong, and the fragrant floral aroma flows into the mouth.
Although it was alcohol, it had an unusually sobering taste that made people feel refreshed.
Sniffing gently, it seems as if the nose is always surrounded by the scent of various flowers.
The graceful floral scent seems to be wafting from afar.
With another full bottle, Alka tilted it at an angle toward the water below them and slowly poured it in.
The wine with a light green color merged into the dark green sea water and soon became indistinguishable from each other.
But the fragrance of the flowers inside had already drifted out, and the fragrance lingered on the boat.
It is hard to tell whether the aroma is coming from the wine they drink or from the wine poured down from the surrounding sea.
The breeze blew away the aroma of the wine.
"Is this the best wine in the Land of Spirits?" Alka finished the wine in his bottle.
He asked with a smile while looking at everyone.
Then he seemed to answer it himself.
"Yes, this is the best wine in the Land of Spirits."
The wine in the overturned bottles had completely flowed into the sea, and the empty bottles were placed on the boat.
"Ah~ good wine, it is indeed the best wine in the Land of Spirits."
Jason said this with a smile on his face, pointing the bottle towards the sky.
"Sure enough, you didn't lie to me. This is indeed the best wine in the Land of Spirits."
As he said this, he and his companion drank the wine in the bottle.
burst into laughter.
Narvi tasted the wine in his glass.
Looking at Alka and others who were talking.
It seems that the taste I taste is different from theirs, although I don’t understand the meaning of this wine.
To pay tribute?
Accompanied by the laughter of the crowd, I could smell the fragrance of flowers emanating from the air.
The scent of this flower is so strong.
It is out of place in this area that has just experienced the ravages of the undead.
But it seems to indicate that new hope has been restarted here.
The greenery seems to have arrived.
With the aroma of flowers, Narvi drank the wine in the glass.
Just like what I drank before.
Rich taste, silky feel, floral aroma surrounding the mouth and rushing into the nose.
Gives a refreshing feeling.
Along with the voices of the crowd, there seemed to be a taste of farewell.
"Well, it is indeed the best wine in this land of spirits."
"Thanks, unknown friend."
