Before leaving the Endoshi Valley, Iss had not forgotten the purpose of his original return. He pulled out the note that the crow had spoken of, as well as several other books on space spells. For the first time, Ed had the privilege of entering the library and was amazed by the sheer volume of the collection. After all, the library that seemed to have limited space seemed to extend infinitely when he went deeper.

That's a real treasure.

Ed walked for a moment, but didn't miss anything. Laval is now much slower to react than before.

"If you could...... That's certainly good. The old man did not refuse, "Even if it doesn't solve my problem, it would be nice to know how to crack this spell." That would be dangerous for spellcasters, and our enemies would probably not be something that ordinary warriors could handle. ”

It didn't sound right, but Ed didn't think about it. When the old man began to climb up again, he quickly stepped forward to help him.

"We've summoned many demons," Laval told him, his tone slow and heavy, "and to be honest, we've done many cruel things, but we can summon ...... or dare to summon it, usually not too strong. Now, it seems, we still know too little about them...... The strength of the High Demon was beyond my expectations. Not only do they have natural abilities, but they are also quite mature in their understanding and use of spells...... and unique, while knowing almost everything about our spells. In a sense, they are even stronger than dragons, because they do not refuse to learn and learn from another race out of pride. Even if only some of the demons were able to do this, it would be terrifying. ”

He didn't want to dampen His Majesty's rare enthusiasm, so he didn't emphasize this before. He admits that Borena's speculation is valid, and his decision may not be wrong, but if he despises the enemy because of this, he will only fall to pieces.

Ed nodded respectfully. He felt that he should talk to the old man about the hell and demons he had seen...... They still have a lot to communicate, but obviously it can't be now.

Laval's body was leaning heavier and heavier against his arm, shaking uncontrollably.

"Maybe I can help you ......" Ed finally couldn't help but speak, but Laval just smiled at him nonchalantly—it wasn't meant to be accepted.

When they finally reached the stairs, two young paladins strode forward. Judging by their slightly stiff expressions and overly eager movements, they should have known that the High Priest's body had not recovered, but they did not dare to act too nervous.

Laval made a reassuring gesture to them, and walked into the temple with Ed's help.

The temple of Anduch was tall but not large, which was what Ed had always remembered. But as the hallway in front of him began to stretch downward, he realized that it might be much bigger than it looked—the high steps below the temple, empty below.

It's not hard to guess, but sometimes people are inevitably deceived by their own eyes. When you see what you are around...... Or the invisible guards grew tighter, and Ed knew that Laval had taken him where outsiders shouldn't have been.

The air is moving. The vents opened nowhere, and the sound of whimpering wind came from all directions, whistling through the narrow passage like a disoriented ghost. However, the light source that illuminates the passage is steady—it is a row of crystals embedded in the stone wall.

Ed kept telling himself not to look around, but at the moment he couldn't help but look again and again. These crystals can easily be mistaken for worthless stones in the sun, because they are not clear, and they look very cloudy with clumps of gray cotton wool inside. However, in the dark, these "cotton wool" will emit light on their own like fireflies, and with the correct cutting and inlay, it is much better illumination than torches or magic flames.

This thing...... This thing...... It's precious!

The little bit of merchant nature that had been forgotten in the corner was fully aroused. Ed quickly calculated how many ships of spices these gems were worth, and finally had a clear understanding of the hidden riches of the Temple of Anduhe.

They swerved left and right for a few moments, until they came to Ed's suspicion that they were actually deep underground. There were no more people around, and the wind was getting quieter, and as they stood in front of a heavy black stone door, a huge sense of oppression made Ed's heart beat heavy and fast.

Laval stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and pressed against the stone door.

A glimmer of light flowed through the runes that had carved almost the entire door, but the door did not open, but became a translucent barrier, and the water rippled slightly, distorting the gloominous light and shadow behind the door.

Laval put his hand back on Ed's arm. A strange feeling made Ed involuntarily bow his head, and before he could figure out what it was, he involuntarily followed Laval through the barrier.

Unconsciously closed his eyes, and the moment he didn't open them, he thought he had stepped into hell again.

The smell wasn't really strong, but it was enough for him to know what this place was—this was where the priests of Anduhe summoned demons.

It doesn't look spooky...... Instead of being covered in weird runes or sticky black blood, it was so clean that it was dazzling. Laval let go of him, and he finally saw the little blood on the back of his hand.

Does that door have to be opened with blood?

Ed was in a complicated mood, silently rubbing away the bloodstains, and although he didn't feel well, he still carefully observed his surroundings.

Laval didn't bring him here just to give him a little more knowledge.

The ground and walls were snow-white, with only two rings of runes surrounding a shallow pit that was slightly concave, covered with crystalline sand, some shimmering like shards of precious stones, others gray and dull as broken bones.

Feel...... Somewhat familiar.

"Actually, the larger temples have similar places, except that some have long been deserted, some are rarely used," Laval said in a low voice, "When magic was more prosperous, the priests used to summon demons more frequently, in order to get certain news, to know certain powers, or, just purely...... Destroy the evil. At that time, people even arrogantly felt that it was not impossible to conquer the whole hell. But now ......"

“...... I don't think 'go to hell' is a good idea. Ed pretended to be relaxed, "It's obviously not a good place for human life. ”

Laval smiled.

"I think so too. "Actually, when I rebuilt this place, I used the summoning technique of the 'mad mage' the most. ”
