Looking ahead, the metal door was still closed, but the luster on it had subsided a lot, and it no longer pulled people into the mysterious world.

"Then again, is that world really what this door takes us?"

Looking at this door, Knox was still a little incredulous: "This feeling is so unreal. ”

"It's really unreal, it feels like you can't hold it. ”

Viscount Eric muttered, "We can't express what happened to us, it's like a dream, but after all, someone died, in this illusory dream. ”

One person's death is pressed on everyone's hearts, since someone is dead, then there is no reason that other people will not die, and who knows the next life and death.

The road was ahead, just behind the metal gate, and after a long silence, Viscount Eric himself stepped forward, intending to push the gate open himself.

"Lord Viscount, let me clear the way. ”

Seeing the Viscount approaching the metal big moe, Captain Knox stopped him and got up and rushed towards the metal gate.

"You don't have to go out of the way, Knox. ”

Viscount Eric sighed: "I also value my life, but if there is a so-called calamity behind the folding door, can we escape?"

"But you can't take such a risk after all, it's my duty," Knox had already stopped Viscount Eric.

"Without the risk, we were already in danger, or we had gambled our lives on this expedition and even this voyage. ”

Viscount Eric looked at Knox who was blocking the way, and reached out and pressed it on his shoulder: "Whether it is exploring or sailing, I am the leader, and this responsibility should be borne by me, not you." ”

"Besides, I still like to take my life into my own hands, even if danger will be the first to tear me apart. ”

Viscount Eric didn't care about Knox, who was arguing, and sideways away from him, walking straight to the metal door.

Seeing that Viscount Eric was already close to the gate, Knox didn't say anything more, and walked behind Viscount Eric, waiting for the result.

Eric approached the door, stretched out a hand, and pressed it against it. There was no vision, just a coldness, as if it were pressed against a piece of metal.

It stands to reason that this huge metal gate will not be light, but Eric does not feel the slightest resistance from the gate, as if the door moves with his hand on its own, slowly opening inward.

As the door opened, a light came from inside. At first, the light was dim, inconspicuous in the light of the fire, but as the door opened, the light became more intense.

"Point of light?" Viscount Eric looked at the light source inside the door, a little surprised, and whispered, "Isn't this the light source I've seen before?"

The others had already followed, but they were still some distance away from Eric and the light was dim, but they couldn't see what it was, only Captain Knox who followed closely behind caught a glimpse of the scene in the crack in the door.

"This point of light...... Lord Viscount, I've seen something like this!"

Captain Knox didn't hear Viscount Eric's whispering, and hurriedly reported to Viscount Eric: "It's the world behind the dark shadow on the sea, I've seen it!"

"Of course, Knox. Viscount Eric was not surprised by the news: "Or rather, we've all been there. ”

As he spoke, Viscount Eric's hand couldn't help but slow down a little, and he carefully pushed open the metal door.

"It's!"

The three people who caught up later finally discovered these light sources, and they were all a little surprised.

"You should have seen it, in that unspeakable memory. Viscount Eric retreated from the gate as he motioned to the crowd not to be amazed.

The door gradually opened, and to Eric's surprise, it began to open at a constant rate, even as his hand had left.

A large wave of light, with the open gate, emerged from the other side, scattered in the world outside the door, and extended towards the top of the stone steps, illuminating everything in its path.

When the gathering light dissipated, the world inside the door was reflected in the soft light of the five people------ just like the interior space of a building.

Seeing that nothing had happened, Viscount Eric walked slowly into the gate, looked around, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise:

It was a vast circular space, and what everyone could see was a huge dome, even more than 100 meters in diameter.

The two-person high ring wall around it is engraved with these many unknown symbols, and when you look back, you can see that together with the metal gate, it forms a closed loop with a unique beauty.

The circular dome is full of strange symbols and mysterious paintings, like people, but not people, and if you look closely, you can't see the faces of those people clearly. Those "people", "beasts", and even "utensils" all have a familiar feeling, and they have never seen it.

In the middle of the dome, however, there is a rustic ring, without any additional depictions, and it does not have rune marks like other things, as if it is everything, and there is no need to repeat it.

"My God, such a miraculous sight is unheard of. ”

Bourgeois, who followed in from behind, let out an exclamation: "Even His Majesty the Emperor would never be able to build such a huge building, let alone open up such a large space in the depths of the earth!"

Bourcho touched the symbols on the wall, felt the delicate texture, looked at the symbols and paintings that covered the dome, and was once again shocked:

"These paintings are as delicate as if they were made by a master, and they are so widely distributed that it would be difficult for even an empire to do so. ”

"Difficult!"

Viscount Eric came back to his senses, remembered the palaces of the Empire, and said with certainty: "Not to mention the palace, even the palace is unmatched." ”

"This kind of thing can only appear in mythology, a palace buried underground. ”

Viscount Eric shook his head: "Since leaving the port, what we have encountered is not the same as myths and legends, all kinds of monsters, confused dreams and reality, and this kind of actual existence is not so strange. ”

At this moment, a bang behind him frightened everyone, and a bad thought surfaced ------ door closed.

Looking back, the metal gate is completely gone, leaving behind a seamless stone wall.

"Oops!"

The impatient Knox quickly rushed to the rock wall behind him, but no matter how he observed and pushed, he didn't find the gap in the original gate, and the rock wall didn't move at all.

"Damn," Knox clamed his fist and slammed it against the rock wall with a dull thud, "If this door is gone, how are we going back!"

"Wait, maybe you don't need to make up your mind so quickly. ”

Bourcho reassured Knox:

"Although the gate is gone, the texture of this stone wall is basically the same as the pattern of the gate I remember. I don't know, but the door has become like this, and if you find a way, you can open it again. ”

"You're sure you remember, it's a complicated symbol. ”

"Of course," Bourcho said confidently, "I still have a degree from Imperial University, and I still remember these things." ”

"The gate, indeed, may have been turned into a stone wall by some mysterious power, or it may have been opened in some way. Viscount Eric stabilized his mood and approved of the reason.

"Well, then, Lord Viscount, should we find a way out at once, the longer it goes, the more danger is likely. Knox volunteered to find a way to open the door.

"Wait, Knox. ”

Viscount Eric was not impatient: "Since it is a mysterious force, maybe we have come to a new place, or the gate has been sealed forever, and we can't get out at all." ”

"Lord Viscount, this ...... You have to try, you can't do nothing. ”

Knox couldn't argue with Viscount Eric's assumptions, but he wasn't one to sit still.

"None of that matters, Knox. ”

Viscount Eric said unhurriedly, "What if we can open the gate and go back?

"All we can do is move forward, find a way to live before we run out of energy, or die here. Viscount Eric gestured to the center of the circle, a large hollow that connected a spiral lower escalator.

Everyone slowly approached the center and looked underground, but it was as if they were blocked by something, and they could only see darkness, swallowing up the spiral escalator.

"Is this bottomless?"
