The old capital of the Panir Kingdom is also called the City of Clouds and the City in the Sky, because it is a city built on the top of a mountain. Once the clouds and mist rise from the mountains, and you stand in the distance and look over, you will see the city of the old capital.

The clouds were looming, and this scene was faithfully recorded by the first group of adventurers who came to Cancantotan, and they also drew a very detailed picture of the whole picture. Many writers and poets from other continents followed it.

These records and various literary works were written about Cancantotan.

In addition to the City of Clouds and the City in the Sky, the old capital is also known as the City of Gold, because all the buildings in this city are engraved with various patterns, and gold is inlaid in the patterns. When the sun shines on the city

, people who look at the city from a distance will see a golden city.

It is precisely because of the magic of the City of Clouds and the wealth of the City of Gold that all the colonists who came to Moissan Continent wanted to conquer this city and become the masters of this magical city. There was even a period of time when the colonists

There is a very absurd but far-reaching legend circulating in the middle, which claims that whoever conquers Kancantotan can become the master of the Mosang continent.

However, anyone with a little bit of brains can understand how absurd such a legend is, because even the Panier indigenous tribe that currently controls Kankantotan is not qualified to be the master of the Mosan continent, let alone other foreigners.

or.

But such a lie that could be easily exposed made many people find it credible, including some generals and dignitaries with real power. A large number of troops were sent to the mountains of Panier to search for the city.

Only a handful of these troops were able to leave the forest alive. It was not until the establishment of the United Kingdom of America that the rumors gradually subsided, and the subsequent relocation of the capital of the Kingdom of Panier was probably related to this incident. The Panier royal family was afraid that they

The big tree in the capital caused unnecessary trouble.

However, the magical city that was famous throughout the Velen world has now turned into a pile of ruins. The gold embedded in the walls has long been dug away, and the exquisite patterns have become pitted, making it impossible to see the original

In appearance, a large number of buildings have long since collapsed due to disrepair, and the remaining buildings can only be supported by the vines that grow all over the city.

At present, the only building in the entire old capital that can still maintain its past form is the large altar that was transformed from a mountain top in the center of the city. Because it is supported by the mountain inside, the entire building still stands majestically in the center of the city, and it can generally remain intact.

The most amazing thing is that there are no vines all over the city on this altar, as if the altar contains a power that can drive away vines.

When Sylvia was adventuring in the Mosang Continent, although the old capital of Panier had been abandoned, it was not completely in ruins. Some old Panier people still lived in this city that was dying.

, they seemed to be preparing to die along with the city.

But now, this city in the sky is completely dead. Apart from plants, there are only some small animals in the city, without any human atmosphere. Walking in the city will give people an inexplicable eerie feeling.

Leo and Sylvia had arrived at this city in the sky before noon, but they discovered that they were not the only two in the city, there was also a team of more than a dozen shaman apprentices.

Studying is done here.

Judging from the uniform costumes worn by these shaman apprentices, these shamans should all come from a shaman sect called the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Path, and their practice location is within the altar in the city.

There are many sects within shamanism. Not counting the various new sects that have sprung up in recent years, there were more than 4,000 sects in the former shamanic church alone.

If other churches had so many sects, it would definitely bring the church to the edge of schism, but for shamanism, the number of sects does not affect the specifications of shamanism, because those shaman believers do not necessarily only believe in a single kind of shamanism.

They can believe in a variety of shamanic sects, and they can even use the shamanic teachings of various sects to combine them into new sects and form new shamanic sects. The Ancient Spirit Patrol Sect is such a sect.

The Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect is composed of three shamanistic sects, one is the Spiritual God Sect with the animistic doctrine as its core, the other is the Ancient Spirit Sect that mainly worships the god of wilderness, and the last one is the Barefoot Sect that mainly practices asceticism.

The Pilgrimage Sect, these three sects were mixed together to form the current Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect.

The believers of this sect will spend their entire lives looking for ten ancient wild gods, and then obtain a little bit of the spirituality of the wild gods from the wild gods. Finally, through the spirituality of these ancient wild gods, they can ignite their own spirituality and eventually transform themselves into a new wild god.

Among the current shamans, the Ancient Spirit Patrol Sect is not the shaman sect with the largest number of believers, and there are not many formal shamans in this sect. However, this sect is one of the few shaman sects that is allowed to spread its teachings in the northern and southern tribal alliances. It is also in

A shamanic sect with seats on both the northern and southern sacred mountains.

When Leo and Sylvia came to the old capital of Panier and saw this group of shaman apprentices who were practicing on a pilgrimage, they were a little surprised. At the same time, they thought it seemed reasonable. As for the shaman apprentices who saw Leo and Sylvia, they were surprised.

After Sylvia, the expressions of surprise on their faces were even stronger. At the same time, they did not show any friendly expressions. Instead, they were full of vigilance and hostility. They seemed to regard Leo and Sylvia as enemies, and even stood in the city.

The door entrance blocks the way in.

"It seems we are in the right place." Seeing this, Sylvia smiled and turned to Leo and said.

"Yes, we're in the right place!" Leo looked past the shaman apprentice blocking the way in front of him and towards the towering altar.

The reason why the two had such a conversation was because the reactions of the shaman apprentices of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect after seeing them confirmed their previous suspicions, that is, there was a powerful existence hidden here.

This existence may be some kind of extraordinary creature, or it may be some kind of intelligent mutated creature. In short, they are now regarded as venerable wild gods by these shaman apprentices.

The Ancient Spirit Patrol Sect is not very powerful among the many sects of the Shaman Church, nor does it have many members, but it is able to receive great attention in the Shamanism of the two holy mountains in the north and south, and even does not hesitate to arrange a seat to win over it. It is because of the sect’s

Shamans have an extremely miraculous ability. This ability was once regarded as the salvation ability of humans in the world of Velen to avoid being destroyed by mutated monsters. This ability is that believers who have entered the path of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrim Shaman can communicate with anyone.

A kind of mutated monsters live together peacefully, and mutated monsters will not attack these people.

When shamanism promoted this ability to the outside world, the outside world thought it was fake, because there were countless examples in the past showing that mutated monsters had no intelligence and only knew how to kill and hunt.

Knowing that the shaman of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect appeared in the monster wave, while everyone was fighting with the monsters, those monsters turned a blind eye to the shaman of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect. As long as the shaman of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect did not attack the monster, even if he

When riding on a monster, the monster will not attack him or throw him away, as if he regards him as his companion.

For a time, the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect became the most popular theory at the time. Almost everyone was studying the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect, even the True God Churches in the Orthodox Church. Shamanism also relied on this matter to spread rapidly in the Moissan Continent.

expand influence.

However, people in the church soon discovered that the teachings of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect were not the reason why shamans could peacefully coexist with mutated monsters, but that the shamans of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect themselves had unknown qualities that have not yet been revealed.

, this trait is the reason why those shamans can live peacefully with mutated monsters.

Afterwards, after further tracing the cause, someone discovered that the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect actually captured some powerful, living mutant monsters, and then regarded these mutant monsters as wild gods in their beliefs, gaining a little spirituality from these mutant monsters, and that

This spirituality derived from mutant monsters is the reason why these shamans can live in peace with mutant monsters.

Although they know the method, there are very few people who follow the method of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect, because the probability of success of this method is very small. The vast majority of people either go crazy or die while gaining spirituality.

It is a direct mutation and collapse, and even if you successfully obtain spirituality without going crazy or dying, that person will be like a completely different person, completely abandoning all past customs and beliefs, and become a devout shaman apprentice of the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect.

When one embarks on the path of pilgrimage and spiritual practice, even if that person was previously a senior cleric who received blessings from the true God, this result cannot be changed.

Although the current Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect is not divided internally, their Pilgrimage practice has begun to show signs of bifurcation. Because the south goes deep into the wasteland, although there are mutated monsters there, there are also more powerful extraordinary creatures. These creatures

They are all regarded as wild gods, so the ancient spirit pilgrims in the south worship these wild gods in the way of shamanism. However, it is difficult for the ancient spirit pilgrims in the north to find suitable wild gods, so they can only worship the shamans.

The object is placed on a powerful mutated monster.

Although the ultimate goal of both is the same, the process of the two is very different. The Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect who worships the Aragami will have a special temperament called the natural breath. Even ordinary people

You can also vaguely feel a little difference.

However, the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect, which worships those powerful mutant monsters, will be more or less infected with the crazy aura of some mutant monsters, making people who come into contact with them feel extremely uncomfortable. In the words of ordinary people, they can feel at any time.

There is an illusion that I will be eaten.

It is this obvious difference in temperament that allows Leo and Sylvia to easily identify the affiliations of these ancient spirit patrol sects, and it is almost confirmed that there should be a powerful mutant monster here.

We are not 100% sure, because if the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect in the north encounters a suitable Aragami, they will also worship it and practice it.

"There is nothing here you are looking for, you'd better leave!" A voice speaking in standard American and Caribbean came from behind the crowd, followed by the shaman apprentices who stepped aside to find an elderly man wearing formal shaman clothing.

The shaman walked out of the crowd and stood opposite Leo and Sylvia. Then he said to Sylvia as if he knew Sylvia: "How dare you come here to make trouble now that you are in trouble?"

Go around, aren’t you afraid that your Dodd Group will be annexed by others during this period?”

"If I am gone and the Dodd Group is so easily annexed, then it will have no value in existing." Seeing the elderly shaman, Sylvia retorted as if she were an acquaintance, and then argued.

Relatively speaking, he mocked: "When did you, Rustav, start to believe in shamanism? You still choose the Ancient Spirit Pilgrimage Sect. Do you really not intend to be a human being? Or are you not a human being yourself?"

The old shaman ignored Sylvia's provocation and turned to look at Leo, his eyes full of vigilance. Then he turned around and signaled to his shaman apprentices, and then led these shamans who were blocking the way.

The apprentice turned around and walked towards the altar, as if he had no intention of stopping the two of them.

However, Sylvia did not intend to let the other person go just like that, and shouted at the other person: "Are these little guys the sacrifices you chose this time, just like the people you chose back then.

"

After hearing Sylvia's words, the old shaman paused for a moment, did not turn around, and continued to walk forward. He did not seem to be affected in any way, while the shaman apprentices were stunned and looked at each other as if

They had some thoughts because of Sylvia's words, but they didn't show it and still followed the old shaman.

"Is he that Rustav?" Leo also found information about a person with the same name and confirmed: "Rustaf of Calanson?"

"Well, that beastly Rustav." Sylvia nodded, the look of disgust on her face not weakening at all.

It’s no wonder that Sylvia had such an expression and ridiculed the old shaman one after another after seeing him. Mainly because the shame this man brought to her was too great, and it has been reflected in her life experience to this day.

If you want to say who wants the old shaman to die the most in this world, then Sylvia is definitely one of the top five.

This Rustav is a member of the Society of Strange Stories and a well-known scholar of the former Royal Academy of the French Empire. His theory of human nature and bestiality is regarded as the originator of the introspection philosophy school.

After the fall of the French Empire, he fled to the Moissanite continent as a refugee. Because of his relationship as a member of the Lost World Society, he also gained Sylvia's attention and was appointed by Sylvia to serve as the head of the newly established Bodo Academy of Truth.
