Indeed, just as Dahl had said, after equipping the two items, they became transparent like water, then merged into Little Ash's body.
Overall, there was no change in appearance.
Leaving the forge.
Jiang Han arrived at a relatively remote courtyard in the West District.
The water babbled, and the air was fragrant.
Compared to the fast-paced atmosphere of other places, this place had a bit more leisure and comfort.
It looked like a good place to spend one's remaining years.
After returning from the Fire God Temple, Mertz didn't return to the Supreme Hall, but decided to stay in Windleaf City for a while, after all, they had already discussed joining forces.
With such a god-level powerhouse joining, Sophia naturally wouldn't refuse, and according to Mertz's request, found him such a leisurely courtyard.
These days, Mertz had been resting here, very comfortably.
"Master, are you there? Master, are you there?"
Jiang Han stood outside the door and shouted loudly.
"What the heck? It's only been a few days, and you're back again?"
Mertz, who was lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of horror.
Don't come over!!!
"Don't worry, Master, this time I'm just here to inquire about some information," Jiang Han said.
"I believe you."
Mertz's mouth twitched. When wasn't that what he said?
In the end, wasn't it his old self who got hurt?
Scumbag!
However, despite the grumbling, Mertz still opened the courtyard door.
"Really, I don't."
Jiang Han smiled helplessly. It seemed his credibility needed to be improved. "I'm here this time just to inquire about the Water Moon City."
He hadn't forgotten what Jiang Hai had said.
Although the authenticity remained to be confirmed, Jiang Han didn't believe that what was brought out as a bargaining chip at the point of death would be a fabrication.
After all, the whereabouts of a divine artifact were worth paying attention to.
So he really didn't have any thoughts of causing trouble this time, just wanting to ask Mertz if he had any means to get to Water Moon City as soon as possible.
"You say you're not causing trouble? You even know about Water Moon City?"
But to Jiang Han's surprise, Mertz's eyes widened as soon as he heard this question. "Young people don't learn to be good, but come to deceive and trick!"
Jiang Han frowned: "Water Moon City... what's wrong?"
"You don't know?"
Mertz was stunned.
"I really just came to inquire about some information this time, but I really don't know what happened in Water Moon City. Is there some change?" Jiang Han looked calm.
"Really?"
Mertz looked at him suspiciously. Why didn't he believe it?
Jiang Han thought for a while and said, "If there is anything, there is indeed a clue to a very important item in Water Moon City, so I want to go take a look."
"So that's how it is..."
Mertz said "Oh", sat back in the rocking chair, and waved his hand. "Then I advise you not to go for the time being. There's been a lot of trouble in that place recently, it's quite dangerous."
"Tell me more about it," Jiang Han became interested.
Mertz pondered for a moment. "Have you heard of... the Gray Mist?"
"Gray Mist?"
A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Han's eyes.
He had not only heard of this thing in his previous life, but had also encountered it!
But at that time, the level of the first echelon of players was already above eighty!
The top experts had even reached level 100.
And after encountering the Gray Mist, many people still died in it.
This was an extremely terrifying substance.
But how could this thing appear so early?
And it was still appearing in a main city.
"Looks like you really have heard of this thing."
Mertz glanced at Jiang Han and said lightly: "The vicinity of Water Moon City is being invaded by the Gray Mist, and according to the current trend, the Gray Mist is likely to cover Water Moon City."
"If you want to go, I think... forget it."
As he said, Mertz suddenly sighed, looking tired.
He originally wanted to say that it was dangerous there, but then he thought about it, where had this kid gone that wasn't dangerous?
There was no way to persuade him.
Just as he thought, Jiang Han didn't retreat at all after hearing this news, but became even more curious.
A clue suspected to be a divine artifact, and the Gray Mist invasion.
Was there really such a coincidence?
Could there be some unknown connection between these two things?
"How much does the master know about this Gray Mist?" Jiang Han asked.
"I know a little, but not much."
Mertz said: "According to the Supreme Hall's ancient records, the appearance of this thing seems to be related to an evil god."
"Evil god, is it a god?" Jiang Han's heart moved, as if he had caught something.
"You can understand it that way, but this evil god doesn't have any related offering altars on the continent, not even a temple, so it doesn't count as a god in the general sense."
Mertz explained: "After all, no race would believe in an evil god responsible for spreading plagues and viruses, that's too evil."
"Right."
He suddenly thought of something and glanced at Jiang Han, "Didn't you go to the Fire God Temple? Maybe there are relevant information recorded on it, did you pay attention to it?"
"I didn't."
Jiang Han shook his head. The entire Fire God Temple was destroyed by the Undying Divine Phoenix and the Fire God, where could he see these?
"But, since it's not a god in the traditional sense, it shouldn't be related to the Fire God, right?"
"That's not certain." Mertz shook his head and said, "Although this evil god is very mysterious, the timing of the Gray Mist's appearance is regular."
"According to ancient records, the Gray Mist first appeared during a sacrifice, someone knocked over the offerings, and a corner of the sacrificial statue was also smashed off."
"After that, the Gray Mist descended, but only in a very small area, and the impact was not too great."
"The second appearance was also during a sacrifice, the statue was polluted by thugs, and it also appeared in a small area."
"The third time..."
Mertz's expression became much more serious, "Where it appeared is unknown, but the scope was extremely wide, and many ancient races were affected and suffered heavy losses."
"It was from that time that these races withdrew from the stage of history and gradually disappeared."
"However, according to historians' research and speculation, the appearance of the Gray Mist this time was very likely because a certain race angered the gods, and thus a punishment was imposed."
"Therefore, the Gray Mist is also called divine punishment."
Mertz continued: "However, the source has always been secret, until thirty years ago, a senior from the Supreme Hall accidentally discovered that this power was controlled by an evil god."
"And the name of that evil god is Sekhmet."
"Sekhmet?"
Jiang Han's eyes flickered, "So can it be understood that every time the Gray Mist appears, someone angers the gods, and thus this so-called divine punishment is imposed."
