"Imparris and Oliel could indeed feel that Diablo and Mephisto had lost all signs of existence, and that a new source of fear and hatred was taking shape in Hell. Tyrrell spoke slowly, "You guys...... How can it really be done......"

The Angel of Courage Imparis and the Angel of Benevolence and Hope Oliel are the closest opposites to Diablo, the god of fear and Mephisto, the god of hatred, one is destroyed, and the other can also sense it in the dark, so it is not difficult for Tyrell to confirm whether what Zheng Zha said is true or false. After all, this time back to the dark world, the Middle-earth team didn't have the brains to bring back the soul stones of the two demon gods.

As he spoke, Tyrell had been secretly paying attention to Zhan Lan on the side, especially an angelic pendant hanging from her chest, exuding a series of divine halos.

Although the brilliance of the pendant is not even as conspicuous as some enchanted equipment, in Tyrell's eyes, he can clearly see that the most holy and holy brilliance is like a wave, rippling and rippling, driving a series of gentle and harmonious fluctuations in all things in heaven and earth and even the invisible void......

Strange but intimate, no need to think, no need to understand, a real realization arises naturally in the mind, as if the truth that has been pondered for countless years but has always been difficult to touch is suddenly clearly displayed in front of one's eyes......

"Since you approve of our handling of the matter, please be sure to hand over Baal's Soul Stone to us as soon as possible. Because according to our investigation, the seal of Baal. Maybe it's not as foolproof as you think!" Just as Tyrell was slightly distracted, Zheng Zha had already thrown out a message that he didn't expect. "Don't forget, the mysterious sanctuary where the Phisgerians are hiding. It also leads to the Warlock Canyon that sealed Bal!"

The Seal of Baal is the result of a joint effort between the two most powerful schools of magic ever seen in the Sanctuary world, Fessgeri and Hradim, but the purpose of the two is different, with the Hradim faction acting out of duty and self-sacrifice, while the Phasgerite Herasen is motivated primarily by personal vendetta - revenge for Bal for inciting him to a feud with the Bhakt brothers, which eventually led to the demise of the Fisgerits.

Compared with the Hradim school, which is good at making all kinds of alchemy, enchantments, and rune strange things, the Fessgeri school is better at summoning monsters and various super-mass destruction forbidden spells, and the fire forbidden spell of Countess Christ, who mainly inherits this school, is also the embodiment of their concept being influenced by the demon god Baal. Naturally, Tyrrell doesn't trust this genre. Hearing this, he just replied calmly: "Herathan would never want to see Barr get out of trouble, and even if he makes any small moves, he will not be able to pass the level of the tomb guard mage! ”

Zheng Zha shook his head: "After Diablo revived from the underground of the Trisham Monastery and successfully corrupted King Leorik, among the many brave men who gathered in Canduras from all over the world, the most powerful were King Leorric's bloodline, the warrior Eddard, the most powerful female archer with the Blind Eye, and a mysterious mage who was skilled in using powerful killing magic. Here's the strange thing: according to the post-mortem investigation, this mage who had at least the pinnacle strength of a master had no past experience. After defeating Diablo, he also disappeared completely.

As we all know, Eddard's body later became the vessel for Diablo's Soul Stone, and his team members were all confirmed to be corrupted, including Andrea, who provided them with magic potions, and Gracewald, who provided equipment...... As for the mysterious mage whose origin and whereabouts are unknown. I guess it's hard to be an exception, right?"

Tyrell asked in a deep voice, "You mean--that mage is Herazen?, but why would he risk leaving the Mystic Vault and heading to Canduras?"

Zheng Zha quickly answered his question: "As early as King Leorik began to show signs of depravity and corruption, there were rumors of the resurrection of the Blood Overseer Bakett in the underground of the monastery. This rumor is particularly prevalent in the Lugoin region. In fact, he was indeed encountered in the blood pool of the monastery's dungeon. ”

After the Brothers' Duel. Bhakt's human body shattered, and his soul fell into hell completely. Reincarnated as a Blood Overseer under the command of Baal. After learning of his brother's whereabouts, it was naturally likely that Herathan would go to confirm it in person. In other words, this conspiracy against him was prepared long before Diablo's recovery.

Once Herathan has fallen and corrupted, Diablo only needs to go to Lugoin, and with the help of the other party, he can easily enter the Canyon of the Warlock who sealed Bal through the mysterious shelter, and join forces with Balri to break the seal. The army of demonic puppets under the original control of Herathan was a ready-made and powerful force for Diablo and Barr. In this case, even if Tyrell learns that he is not going to go quickly, he is likely to go to deliver food.

Although this conspiracy was aborted by the thunderous attack of Wang Zongchao and Zheng Zha, if the corruption and degeneration of Herathan have become a reality. Baal's seal is indeed not as unbreakable as Tyrell imagined.

After a moment of silence, Tyrell asked with some hesitation, "However, your origins, and the specific method of dealing with the Soul Stone, are you still inconvenient to tell?"

"You will know when you need to know, but not now!" Zhan Lan, who was on the side, suddenly spoke in an unpolite tone, "However, just using this as an excuse to refuse, what I see is not justice, but a kind of selfishness and arrogance that tries to control everything!"

"Excuse me, this lady is ......" The holy light around Tyrell's body fluctuated significantly, but his tone did not dare to show the slightest slack or irritation. Regardless of the majesty of the holy power contained in the angel pendant on Zhan Lan's body for the time being, what is more important is that Tyrell vaguely feels some kind of divine rule that has never existed before, and it seems that it can further complete or even sublimate the existing rules in heaven.

This is absolutely incredible, because since the birth of heaven, the authority held by the five supreme angels is the embodiment of the supreme divine rule, and how can there be another perfect and pure beyond this. Even vaguely more on top of the Divine Rules.

"I'm just a man of light, hope, and truth, Lord Tyrell...... Zhan Lan just tried his best to keep his holy power flowing and resonating with the holy power of the angel pendant. He replied loudly, "I think." Using the shelter as a prison to imprison the demon god and the battlefield to fight against hell is both helpless and cruel. There is absolutely no 'justice' to make such an endless sacrifice for the shelter when there are other better options!

And Lord Tyrell should also know that compared to the near-eternal Demon God, mortal body and soul strength have their limits. Even if the Hradim mages led by Tarasya can hold on for a long time, they will eventually be corrupted by Baal. If only to delay longer. Watching the heroes who have made such great sacrifices for humanity become the targets of the new heroes, Lord Tyrell, I have to be cautious about the 'justice' you represent!"

Long before that, Zhan Lan had made up for the history of the Hradim faction and the sacrifices they had made, coupled with Chu Xuan's deliberate guidance including hypnotic hints, he really had deep respect and sympathy for these mages, so in addition to obeying the needs of the team, this remark was also sincere to a considerable extent. The more you talk about it, the more justified it becomes, and it contains an inexplicable majestic momentum. Every word resonated and echoed with the holy power, and it reverberated endlessly. It is like the majestic chant of the Divine Word and a series of endless divine halos.

Tyrrell chose this ancient church as the place to meet, just because the power of faith accumulated in the church was conducive to his strength, but at this time, the power of faith condensed in Zhan Lan's body was even more than him. The light that flowed through him was dwarfed by it. Of course, Tyrrell didn't know. This was not only because of the angel pendant factor, but also because Zhan Lan had long before meeting with him. I have been gathering the power of faith in this church for a long time with "please God Dafa", so I have to be prepared and unintentional, and naturally have the advantage!

"I see. Now, as long as you're ready, you can always head to Warlock's Canyon!"

Soon, Tyrell made a decision, and with a wave of his sword, a blue spatial door opened in the void.

At this time, in Tyrell's heart, Zhanlan and her angel pendant were even more important than Baal's Soul Stone. He was already instinctively aware that this angel pendant may contain the supreme mystery related to the birth and evolution of heaven. Because of this, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan's avoidance of talking about their origins is also considered to have a deep meaning.

……………………………………

"Oh, this is the Mysterious Shelter?" When the vision changed, Chu Xuan looked around carefully and said to himself, "The situation is really not as simple as imagined!"

Beneath his feet was a gleaming platform, a flat silver mesa about thirty meters square. In the center was the teleportation array where he stood, and the metal bands engraved with strange inscriptions were connected in series, and the embellished magic stones extended outward from the crystal, forming a complex magic array.

At the four corners of the platform stand four two-meter-high spires, the top of which is burning a blazing orange-red fireball, a jumping and flickering incandescent electric ball, a cold ice blue ball, and a dark green turbid cyclone, the red, white, blue and green four colors of light reflect the entire platform, and like oil paint, overlapping and flowing on the platform, forming a protective barrier.

These four minarets can both form protective enchantments and attack. As long as the people on the teleportation array move slightly, the four deadly attacks of flame, lightning, ice, and poison will form a staggered firepower network with no dead ends in an instant, tearing all enemies to pieces!

On either side of each elemental minaret, there is a stone statue of a sheep-headed demon more than two meters high, clad in iron armor and holding a machete. On the ground in front of the spire, there is a teleportation array on each side. Compared to the expensive and rare teleportation array of the shelter world, inside the mysterious shelter, the teleportation array is simply like the most ordinary decoration.

What's even more amazing is that this platform is only an isolated existence, and there is no means to leave the platform except for a few teleportation arrays. Above and beyond the platform, floating buildings can be seen in the distance. These buildings vary in size and scale, and in addition to the smallest isolated podiums, there are many towers and complexes of rooms connected by intricate passages and staircases. Each place is littered with elemental spires, demonic stone carvings, and teleportation arrays. The horizontal angles of these buildings and the platform where Chu Xuan was located were different, and some were even vertical or upside down, but the objects on each building were placed very securely. It seems that each has its own direction of gravity.

Aside from the scattered floating buildings, there is only infinite darkness and nothingness as far as the eye can see. The depth and emptiness are filled with countless elemental points of light that are born and disappear, like countless colorful stars that shine brightly and brightly.

Chu Xuan took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms. Throwing it out of the platform, the scroll encountered an instantaneously generated point of ice blue light in the void, and immediately froze into ice, and then completely exploded and shattered under a fiery red point of light, and even the residue could not be seen.

At the same time as he made this series of movements, the demonic stone sculptures of the eight guardian elemental spires suddenly faded from the texture of the rock, revealing blood-colored skin covered with terrifying thick tendons, and their strong bodies also regained their mobility, each wielding the machete in his hand. Intercepting any advance and retreat of Chu Xuan from all directions, the sharp blade engraved with the magic pattern chilled the skin!

"Human, hand over all your gear, weapons, and items!" the Sheephorn Demon commanded in a vague, low, yet cold, mechanical tone.

"Letting the demon puppet petrify under normal circumstances, and only release the petrification when it is needed, which can not only reduce consumption, but also reduce the danger of the group getting out of control, which is a very good practice!" Chu Xuan commented. While doing it obediently. These supposedly bloodthirsty and irritable sheep-horned demons have no reaction to his evaluation, fully demonstrating that they are puppets that have been completely erased of their own will.

After searching behind him, the Sheep's Horn Demon escorted Chu Xuan to a teleportation array in the corner where he was standing. With the teleportation of a blue light flashing, he has appeared on another larger scale. Inside a labyrinthine complex.

Then, I saw two ghoul mages holding magic staff stepping forward and unleashing detection magic on Chu Xuan's body. After making sure that there were no abnormal magic fluctuations, the four Sheep Horn Demons escorted Chu Xuan on his way. Outside of a series of stairs and passages that make you feel completely disoriented. He then put him on another teleportation array, teleporting him to another complex.

Along the way, Chu Xuan had been carefully observing his surroundings all the time, noticing the endless spires of various elements and other magical facilities with unknown functions, especially noting that on a certain platform on the way, there were two stairs, one coiling upwards and the other winding downwards. However, the strange thing is that the two stairs up and down eventually lead to the same horizontal platform without any ups and downs!

"The Incredible Paradox of Space...... This is the Mystic Vault, a vast void independent of the Shelter world, a magical place with subversive rules of time and space!"

After traveling all the way, after passing through the twenty-six teleportation arrays, Chu Xuan was finally led to the entrance of an empty and magnificent hall with a huge circular dome.

Although there is no elaborate carving and decoration in the hall, the golden exterior wall of the pure metal structure has a smooth appearance and smooth lines, and it has a beauty that transcends the times.

Metal is used to build houses, which are cold in winter and hot in summer, which is both uncomfortable and expensive. However, it is precisely because of this unique metal that involves space-like spells that this mysterious sanctuary independent of the shelter world is propped up. In the current sanctuary world, I am afraid that all human kingdoms, sects and tribes will not be able to gather the materials to build this palace, and the accumulation and heritage of the Fessgeri faction can be imagined!

Walking into the temple, I saw a huge pattern on the huge dome, and the black and blue background was constantly changing like a celestial body, as if it were a panoramic view of the mysterious shelter.

"Are you the author of these materials? I must admit that this is indeed a novel, ingenious, and rare thought and insight of a genius!"

An old voice came from inside the hall, and I saw an old man with long hair and beard sitting on a chair seat of unknown material in the middle of the hall with intricate magic patterns, hidden in the shadow of the mage's hood, a pair of dark blue eyes, sharp in wisdom, and a high hooked nose quite powerful. Even though he was dressed in the generous, richly gilded mage's robes, his figure was still small compared to the throne-like seat. A long wooden cane engraved with mystical magic patterns and inlaid with more than a dozen perfect-grade magic stones and high-grade runes rested casually on the side of the chair seat.

Behind the old man, there stood two giant horned demon puppets that were more than six meters tall. I saw that their bodies were covered with demonic iron armor as thick as rock formations, and even spread to most of their heads. A pair of arms almost down to the ground were the size of a pillar, and two fists covered with iron thorns each held a great axe the size of a millstone and a flail with siege stones. It is inlaid with various talismans made of pure gold and mythril.

These are two "Blood Kings", two lord-level "Blood Kings"! These two exist alone. It's enough to dwarf the elemental spires that dot the entire hall with magical traps.

Now the old man was looking at a rather heavy book with great interest, on the cover of the book. It seems to be written in the common language of the dark world, "the comprehensive use of runes, enchantments, machinery, and alchemy". On the metal floor in front of him was a series of delicate instruments and parts.

"It's an honor to be recognized by you!" Chu Xuan replied with an expressionless face, "So, you should also be able to feel our sincerity in exchanging knowledge and cooperating in all aspects, right?"

The underground dungeon beneath the palace of Lugoin has a teleportation array leading to the mysterious refuge, which was confirmed by the Middle-earth team as early as their first entry into the dark world. Although the Fisgerians have long since declined, the remaining influence has not been completely extinguished. In the Rugoin region, no matter how the royal power changes. It has become a subtle ancient rule that the ruler will secretly send some death row prisoners to the mysterious vault through the teleportation array, and become the blood sacrifice of Herathan's maintenance of the demon army.

Although with the current management and power of the Middle-earth team, it is not a problem to control the teleportation array at the bottom of the prison, it is almost impossible to rely on this to capture the mysterious shelter. Chu Xuan could guess with just his knees that a mage like Herason, who had been hiding for thousands of years to escape the revenge of the hellish forces, was definitely forbearing, cautious and afraid of death enough, so how could he not be on guard against outsiders attacking through the teleportation array after he had been operating the mysterious shelter for many years, and in fact, when Chu Xuan entered the mysterious shelter, everything he saw was enough to prove that his defensive measures were almost invulnerable!

Even if a small team of multiple legends sets foot in the teleportation array at the bottom of the prison, they will be dispersed to various separate platforms in the mysterious vault after teleporting. Alone in the face of the horrific crossfire of the Elemental Spire and the ferocious attacks of the Demon Golems. Even if they were able to cope, the independent platform they were on could self-destruct at any time, banishing the entrant to the perilous void. Except for the electric mage who can use teleportation and the psychic assassin who can use teleportation, no matter how strong the other professions are, they will be out of the game at the first time. And because of the fact that the Mystic Vault is located in separate units that are far apart. Coupled with the strangeness of the spatial rules, in the absence of clear coordinate guidance, the teleportation of mages and assassins is also infallible. Even if their teleportation is successful every time. In a mysterious shelter with a strange layout, the relative positions of the units are constantly changing. It would also be difficult for them to pinpoint the location of Herathan, unless the mage and the Assassin themselves possessed the same brilliant foreknowledge as the blind-eyed Akara.

And all kinds of signs also show that Herathan is by no means a thousand-year-old otaku who closes his door and listens to things outside the window. Rather, there are various means to know all the major events that are happening in the outside world. Although he was tricked out of the mysterious vault because of this, this method cannot be repeated again and again.

Therefore, Chu Xuan adopted another way to seek cooperation and exchange - to send a series of research materials, related equipment, and models that Herason was likely to be interested in to the mysterious shelter through the teleportation array, and then go to the mysterious shelter in person after estimating that the other party had aroused enough appetite.

He had brought Alice with him on this trip, but due to the unique setting of the teleportation array, he was scattered after entering the mysterious vault and had to face Heraldson alone.

After the meeting, the old god Herathan was there, just discussing the content of the information he had sent with Chu Xuan, and asked a series of questions that he had not yet understood, and Chu Xuan also answered them in detail one by one until Herason was satisfied.

"What do you think of the proposal to exchange knowledge and cooperate in research?" After more than an hour, seeing that Herasen had fully aroused his interest, Chu Xuan once again reiterated his previous proposal.

"Hehe......" Herathan let out a low, old laugh, "I admit it's some interesting knowledge and technology, and I'm sure you still have a lot of more interesting things, but ......"

His tone suddenly changed from the initial interest to an old, empty and unjoyed indifference, "For me, these things are just 'fun', they can give me an extra way to pass the long time, and they can also allow me to further improve the mysterious shelter and add some new weapons to my demon golem, but this is not what I am looking for after all!"

Chu Xuan asked, "So, what is your pursuit?"

"You should also know that my titles are 'Summoner' and 'Demon Resister'. Herathan replied leisurely, his eyes suddenly adding a hint of madness in his indifference, "However, the highest-level monster I control is always only 'lord level', and I have always longed to go further!"

"Demon King...... Even a demon god-level demon puppet?" Chu Xuan nodded in understanding, "It turns out that this is the real purpose of you cooperating with Master Hradim to seal Bal!"

"Can you provide me with this knowledge?" asked Herathan, pityingly and expectantly, "and even if there were, wouldn't you mind providing it to me?"

"In this regard, we really can't do anything...... Chu Xuan sighed, stood up and said, "Since the exchange failed to reach a consensus, I can only say goodbye, may I ask my companion?"

"No, no...... I'm afraid you didn't understand what I meant......" Herathan shook his head, "Although I don't think I have the need to exchange knowledge with you, I have no reason to refuse the knowledge you have sent to your door. Also, I'm interested in a miracle team that can defeat Diablo and Mephisto, and I hope to learn more from you. ”

Long before Chu Xuan stepped into his living hall, he had already ordered the demon puppet to stole all the magic and alchemy items on Chu Xuan's body. Moreover, judging from the spatial fluctuation characteristics displayed in the other party's series of teleportations, it is impossible to hide any storage space on its body. As for the spatial imprints that can be used for teleportation and positioning, they have long been washed away by disturbances in the process of more than 20 teleportations.

As for Chu Xuan himself, in addition to being extremely rich in knowledge, whether it is magic, spiritual fluctuations, or life source energy, they are all mediocre, which is in line with the level of a research-oriented scholar he has shown, which is far from enough to pose a threat to him at the peak of the legend. Although this is obviously a gesture made by the other side to show sincerity, in the case of a breakdown of negotiations, it will become a fish on a knife.

"So, you want to forcibly leave us behind and torture us?" Although Chu Xuan was still calm on the surface, his breathing and speaking speed were obviously much faster than before, "Believe me, this kind of rough and barbaric method will definitely not give you more than the cooperation between the two of us!" Moreover, this also means that you and our team will become hostile from now on!"

"No, no...... Just extract your memories directly, and don't have to be so troublesome to torture. Although this is a spell invented to extract the magical knowledge of the demons of hell, it does not mean that it cannot be used on humans......" Herathan slowly raised his hand covered with age spots and long nails, and began to sketch the magic talisman extracted by memory in the air, "As for your team, if you are not satisfied, you can come to the mysterious shelter and protest to me!"

Herathan has been hiding in the Mystic Vault for thousands of years, during which even the Three Demons have ravaged the Shelter World and the Hell Force has reached its peak, so who has he ever been afraid of? In Herathan's opinion, Chu Xuan's so-called miracle team really has a lot of exaggerated propaganda and untruths, and in terms of real strength, it will not be stronger than the Heradim faction in any case.

"Actually, you're afraid!" Chu Xuan suddenly sighed and said, "When you traveled to Canduras a few years ago and were contaminated by the Dread Demonic Energy, you have been living in fear, and you know very well that once Diablo steps into your mysterious refuge, you who have been polluted will no longer have any room to resist him.

Although our team was able to escape by killing Diablo, you were determined by fear that you would never leave the Vault again, and vowed to never interact with the outside world again, lest your weakened nature be known. Like a wounded autistic boy, you only dare to lock yourself in your room and lick your wounds, fantasizing that one day you can turn the demon god into a puppet at your disposal, hoping to regain your lost self-confidence......"

"That's enough!" With Chu Xuan's words, Herathan's face suddenly became distorted and hideous, and his fingers with the "Memory Extraction" magic pattern slammed down on Chu Xuan's forehead! )
