121 His Majesty the Demon King is afraid
"Probably we're going to get out of here. His Majesty the Demon King pondered for a moment, "It's strange, why do we stay? If this Soul Illusion is a stage set, it should be closed after the performance." Unless ......"
"Unless the show doesn't end. The female mage and the demon king said in unison.
"Look at the script. Catherine looked at His Majesty the Demon King, but the golden booklet was not in his hand, "Where's the script?"
The Demon King spread his hands apologetically and said, "After the dung worm exploded, I was also swept in, and of course the script was also swept away. β
The mage's gaze swept over the summits of the entire Assal Mountains, and just as the Red Dragon, the Grand Knight, and the Troubadour had disappeared just now, the fleshy demon juice all over the ground disappeared cleanly. There is no trace of the golden booklet on the top of this huge mountain.
"Okay, you don't have to look for it. The Demon King waved his hand in front of Catherine, "I've searched for it a long time ago. The golden booklet was clearly something from the real world. That's a script, not a poetry collection prop. I know where it is, though. β
"Why do you know?" Catherine didn't quite believe the Demon King's words, "maybe the script has disappeared with the Flesh Demon." β
"No, it won't. His Majesty the Demon King said with great certainty, "Since it is something from the real world, how can it disappear in the Soul Illusion Realm." If you see it, it's in there. β
The Demon King pointed in front of him. The female mage looked in the direction he pointed, and it turned out that the red dragon's cave was still standing there, and there was nothing to see in the black hole inside.
The mage said, "Then you lead the way." β
His Majesty the Demon King said dissatisfiedly: "How can there be a teacher who leads the way for the disciples, young man, you should go ahead." β
The mage said, "If I lead the way, I will go to the sun, not into the cave." β
"How can you do that. His Majesty the Demon King said hatefully, "Even if there is a problem with that sun, it may not be useful to go there without a script." β
"So you lead the way. The mage reiterated earnestly. So the somewhat helpless demon king had to walk ahead, "What are you thinking about these few steps?" The demon king complained as he walked.
The Red Dragon's Cave is a very peculiar place, and standing in front of it, you can only see that the cave is a bottomless darkness. But when I went to the back of the cave, I realized that it was just three rocks piled together. The female mage even passed through the hole made of three rocks in a big way, and before His Majesty the Demon King, who was standing in front of the cave, could notic, Catherine suddenly appeared as if by magic.
"It reminds me of the mirror conjecture. Catherine hesitated and didn't agree to enter the cave immediately, "It's like a spatial node, and if you walk in, you should enter another dimension." β
"Mirror conjecture?" the Demon King recalled in his mind for a moment, "It turns out to be the goblin master's spatial theory." Kind of interesting, I was amazed by his understanding of space. But I must warn you, my dear female disciple. Although you are very good at thinking and associating, this is a soul illusion. The place where the soul stays is not something that can be explained by what you learn in the real world. So instead of thinking about it, you should go in with me and have a look. β
"I just don't want to take unnecessary risks. Catherine had her reasons.
"Adventure?" laughed His Majesty the Demon King, "Ha, you're so careful. But think about it, if the makers of this illusion are going to deal with us......"
"Bang!" the Demon King raised his hands in front of him, and then suddenly opened them all in unison, "Our souls have long been shattered. Believe me, my instincts tell me that the illusion maker is waiting for us inside. He's calling us both in his own way. If we don't go in, we'll never want to get that script. β
Catherine frowned and thought for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement. She raised her feet and walked towards the cave, but His Majesty the Demon King grabbed her and said, "Why are you in a hurry now?" β
The Demon King put the female mage's left hand on his right arm, "Let's go in together, hook it tightly, don't be separated." I don't know what's going to be in there. After His Majesty the Demon King finished speaking, he took Catherine into the dark cavern.
Catherine's first feeling when she entered the Red Dragon Cave was that heaven and earth seemed to be turned upside down. Not because she felt top-heavy, but she found herself standing beneath a huge whirlpool. To be precise, it was an inverted vortex, snapped into top like a lid.
The female mage didn't know exactly what the vortex was made of. It looks like both dark green water and muddy yellow gas. They flowed without making a sound. The whirlpool took up the entire space, enveloping it from above, making Catherine feel very small, and faintly exuded a pull that was not too strong, as if trying to pull Catherine into its depths.
The Demon King stood beside the mage, his right hand clasping Catherine tightly. His whole body trembled unnaturally, as if a natural enemy appeared in front of him.
"Are you afraid?" Catherine quickly noticed that His Majesty the Demon King was wrong, "You will be scared too?"
"How could I be afraid!" the Demon King immediately calmed down, and said in as calm a tone as possible, "how can the great Bossetoiffil be afraid?"
"Then why are you shaking?" the mage was a little reluctant, "don't admit it, your arms are clamped so tightly that they hurt me." β
"I call it awe. Can you understand awe? There will always be something in this world that can make us awe. His Majesty the Demon King quietly let go of his clenched arm, "For example, the scene in front of me, although it is not real, it is just a kind of projected illusion, but it does not prevent my awe from showing it. β
"I would like to solemnly introduce to you, my dear female disciple. The Demon King suddenly raised his voice, and he stretched out his left hand to point upward, "In front of you is the center of the Discord Realm among the three mysterious places of the underworldβthe magical maelstrom known as the 'funnel of the world'. β
The Demon King's tone sounded both excited and fearful. Catherine sensitively sensed this unusual emotion, and she flipped the palm of her left hand, which highlighted a white eyeball.
"Are you crazy?" the Demon King quickly reached out and covered the bull's-eyed demon, "Do you want to peek into the funnel of the world? Even if it's a phantom, it's not something you can peep into right now. Be careful to be sucked in by it, and I'll be unlucky. β
"You're really scared. Catherine turned her head to look at the Demon King, the old gentleman's face had turned very pale, "I remember that when we were not yet in the Soul Illusion, you seemed to have told you something about the funnel of this world. Anything that walks into the Maelstrom will rule the underworld, where there are four rulers guarding it. If you know anything else, just tell me all, though I wasn't too interested. The Underground World is too foreign to me, and I know very little about it. If First Will were here, maybe it would make more sense. But there's always nothing wrong with knowing a little more information right now. β
