Chapter 42: The Holy Maiden

Onila and I hurried in the direction of the Holy Monastery. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Located on the outskirts of the city, the geographical location is somewhat remote, it is a symbol of the divine power and wisdom of our principality, and it is the most sacred and inviolable place. And Aurniela's aunt, Marianne, is the saint who has lived in this holy monastery for a long time, and since she was admitted to the hospital at the age of sixteen, she has never taken a step in her life, and is a symbol of the pure and holy wisdom of the principality.

When we arrived at the temple, we found that there were not many demons in the area, and the soldiers and mages guarding it were also dutiful, so they still maintained their old appearance.

I remember coming here with Rand and Aunilla as a child, and all these years have passed, and the scenery is the same.

We raced into the oldest bell tower in the Holy Rites, which contains the oldest documents and first memories of the Principality, where Aunt Marianne has lived all along.

No sooner had we pushed open the door of the bell tower than Aunt Marianne came downstairs. She is still the same as she remembers, she is still so young and beautiful, wise and dignified.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Aurniela pounced on it all of a sudden, and the aunt and nephew hugged each other all of a sudden, and they were very affectionate. Aonila became a saint of the principality as soon as Marianne was born, and the two did not usually have many opportunities to meet.

The two of us explained our intentions, and Aunt Marianne quickly took us upstairs to look for any information that might have been recorded.

The seven-storey bell tower is a perfect circle, and you have to spiral up a circular staircase to access the books on the shelves around it.

Marianne led us to the top floor, and we flipped through it quickly, and with the few memories we had, we finally found the ancient book she was talking about.

Aonila flipped the page of the book about how to get to Hell, and I found it detailed with important clues.

According to ancient texts, what we call "hell" is actually Evenerge, the place where demons live. Evener is located underground, and the details of the situation there are not recorded, but the book mentions that there is a shortcut to there on the continent of Megrel, and it turns out to be through the bottom of the Fountain of Truth! I can understand somewhat why the previous kings sealed the Fountain of Truth.

But the book also writes that it is extremely dangerous for the Terrans to enter Evenger alone, because the smell of human beings is easy to be attacked and attacked when they get there, so if you want to go there, you have to find a way to cover up the smell on your body first. In addition, because of the dangerous terrain there, if you want to enter there, you must have the demon's breath to lead the way, otherwise there is no possibility of entering.

After knowing the method, I thought about what I should do now.

It's okay for the demon to use the one in the basement, but if you want to cover up the smell on your body...... I still have to go to Wuyao.

So Onila and I rushed back to 13 Duchy Road, picked up the little devil from the basement, and ran all the way to the shopping street. The situation in the shopping street is good at this time, although the shops on the street are closed, but it seems that there is no trace of a demon attack here, probably someone opened the enchantment and confused the demon's sight. This barrier is probably under the black cloth.

We dragged the little devil to the inner street, and found that there were no people on the street inside, only the door of Wuyao's shop was open, and the two big red lanterns at the door were lit and glowed, which looked a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

As soon as we entered the door, Wu Ling'er came up, her face full of worry: "Rosa, why are you covered in blood?" Are you hurt? ”

"No, these are demonic." I saw that she was dressed neatly and cleanly, and knew that nothing had happened to her, so I put my mind at ease and asked, "Where is your master?" I want to see him now. ”

Wu Linger led the two of us to the inner hall, where Wu Yao was leisurely drinking tea. It seems that he doesn't care about the current situation in the city at all. Yes, he said that he was a spectator who didn't care and wouldn't interfere with anything going on around him.

As soon as the two of us said what we meant, Wu Yao stood up and looked at the little devil carefully, and smiled: "Let him out!" This is an intermediate demon, it should be the weakest of all demons, it's very useless, you will have to rely on him to lead the way later, don't turn it off! ”

Through Wu Yao's narration, we learned that the original demons are also hierarchical. The lower ones are like the ones out there now, they are huge, they can't think, they can't take souls, they can only rely on instinct to feed for survival, they are murderous but brainless.

Slightly more advanced are the mid-level demons, like this little demon, they already have the ability to think, mainly by tricking human souls to absorb energy, and occasionally prey on humans. One of the characteristics of this type of demon is that they are generally weak in physique and have no strength to fulfill human wishes, so they can only obtain souls by tricking humans into signing contracts.

Saying that, Wu Yao grabbed the little devil's arm, rolled up his sleeve to show me, and didn't let go even if the little devil struggled, it seemed that the demon body was really weak.

I saw that on his rough skin covered with dark spots, all kinds of black magic arrays were densely arranged, like tattoos all over the body, they were round, hexagonal, and square, and some of the magic arrays had been distorted, and the total number of them was estimated to be more than a hundred.

Wu Yao pointed to one of the twisted magic arrays and said, "This one is 'Falling Seal', which means that the agreement between him and this contractor has not been reached, for example, the contractor has died, and he can no longer obtain the soul. Then at this time, the normal seal will become a seal because of the backlash. The other normal seals in his hands indicate that he has made a contract with someone else, but it has not yet been fulfilled, and once the wish is fulfilled, the agreed price will be exchanged, and this seal will disappear. For example, because this mid-level demon is weak in strength, there is a high possibility that the contract cannot be reached, so they will generally use the principle of casting a wide net to sign contracts with multiple parties. ”

I looked at the dense seal on his body, and thought of so many people who had been robbed of their souls, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad and resentful. I picked up the little devil and confronted him for deceiving human souls like this. The little devil struggled, without the slightest sense of shame on his face, and he said emotionally: "What's wrong with deceiving the soul?" I also have the desire to do my best to accomplish them! It's just our way of living, and if we don't, I'm the one who dies! In this world, either you die or I die, we have to survive! Aren't you killing those animals too? To put it bluntly, it's the same with us! His words made me angry, and Wu Yao saw this situation and shoved the little demon into Wu Ling'er's hand at the right time, and said to us, "Okay, okay, why do you want to be like him? You two come in with me now to get your medicine!" ”

I had to temporarily suppress my anger and follow him to the secret room medicine store. He picked out a white bottle of potion for Onilla to take for a long time, and I asked, "What about mine?" ”

Wu Yao glanced at me, then took out a bottle of pink pills from the corner and handed it to me, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "There are only 16 pills in total, and when you arrive in Evenerge, take one every half hour." It is important to remember that the effect of the medicine is only half an hour. In other words, you only have eight hours in total. If you run out of medicine, return it immediately, and don't stay there, or the consequences will be terrible. ”

I was a little surprised why my medicine was different from Aonera's, but I was in a hurry to find Rand and didn't pay much attention to it.

He gave us a crystal fish, saying that it was the only way to open the gate at the bottom of the Fountain of Truth and to show us the way.

Once we were ready, Onila and I left. At this time, there was no principal in the palace, and it was also chaos, so the two of us sneaked into the palace with the little devil very smoothly, and trotted all the way to the Fountain of Truth. Along the way, the little devils were very uncooperative, and kept saying that they would not cooperate with us. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, just tied him up with a rope and dragged him along.

The Fountain of Truth has not yet been invaded by demons, so it is still as peaceful and beautiful as it was when I first visited, and Oniela was a little stunned as she watched everything here.

We approached the Fountain of Truth and looked to the bottom of it. It looks like it's just a shallow sip of spring water, and you can see the bottom of the spring.

I threw the crystal fish into the fountain, and all of a sudden the crystal fish started to glow, and then its tail started to wobble, and it came to life! At the same time, the water began to glow, and then the bottom of the spring began to gradually descend until it became bottomless.

The little devil struggled again: "I can't swim." ”

I glared at him, grabbed him and threw him into the spring, then looked at Onilla again, and jumped down.

I grabbed the little devil and followed the crystal fish to dive down slowly, feeling the light around me gradually become stronger, and finally it was so bright that the light of the crystal fish was submerged in the light. Gradually, I felt a little out of breath. I turned my head to look at Ounila, and saw that her expression seemed more painful than mine. I felt a little sorry for her, so I tried to get closer, but a whirlpool under the water hit us, and we were scattered again, and I don't know if it was because of the lack of oxygen, I felt a little groggy in my brain, and gradually lost consciousness......
