Purgatory is nothing from the underworld.

If the essence of the underworld is sorrow, then the essence of purgatory is suffering.

The moment they just crossed the portal, a feeling of depression came over everyone.

It was a feeling that was difficult to define, not only the discomfort of **, but also the depression and pain of the soul, which gradually overflowed from the depths of the soul.

"Ah~" Medusa took a deep breath in her heart, "Am I here to heaven?" ”

"It's hell." Medea said coldly.

"I'm just using an analogy......" Medusa was speechless.

Unlike the sunny and beautiful scenery of Hearthfire Island, the sky of this limbo halfplane is red, a crimson like a red-hot fireplace, and the ground is a dark and dark color, made up of fine crumbs of earth like charcoal, and the feet feel like they have stepped on it and feel like they have stepped on something.

On the horizon in the distance are mountains that are extremely sharp and high up to the sky, like countless serrated blades. At the bottom of the valley between the mountains, there is a crimson city, the so-called Limbo City.

The city has no walls, and its architecture seems to deliberately mimic the mountains in the distance, and is made up of an equally large number of dense and sharp buildings, extremely narrow at the bottom and extremely high at the top, like a narrow finger.

Sheila was completely stunned, and the magnificent and strange world in front of her gave her a magical false feeling of being extremely unreal. Medea had been here a few times as a child, so she was in a more stable mood than Sheila, and she just calmed down and looked into the distance.

Malkina whistled, and four tall horses came running from a distance. Their fur is also dark black, almost mixed with the same color of earth, and it is impossible to see it without moving, except that when the horses' hooves step on the ground, sparks splash out like flint and flint striking each other.

And their pupils are ruby-like crystals, as if something is burning inside.

The youngest of them approached Sheila, and silently lowered its smooth neck and head as if to signal her to sit down, but Sheila froze in place, not daring to step forward.

"Let's go up." Seeing that she wanted to run away but didn't dare, Aske urged.

"I ...... Wait a minute! Before Sheila could react, Aske had already picked her up from behind and placed her firmly on the dark horse's body.

Despite the lack of a saddle, she sat unusually smoothly on the horse's back, or rather, the black horse, as if spiritual, held its owner firmly on its back.

"Is this ......," Sheila asked hesitantly.

"Children of the Night, Nightmare Beast." Malkina smiled, "They feed on people's nightmares and are free to navigate purgatory and subconscious oceans. Nightmare beasts are supernatural creatures with very discerning tastes, and once they recognize one person, they will no longer eat other people's nightmares. ”

"You mean, it'...... Is eating my nightmare? Sheila heard what she meant.

"Yes, have you been sleeping peacefully lately and have rarely had frightening nightmares?" Malkina smiled and asked, "That's why it's close to you." In a sense, you are its owner. ”

"I see." Sheila stroked the mane of the little nightmares, who hissed happily.

The other three Nightmare Beasts also came to their respective "owners". Asker's Nightmare Beast was the tallest and most majestic, affectionately arching his chest with his nose, and it was clear that the regimental leader was also under a lot of pressure during the day, and every night he fed the Nightmare Beast.

Malkina's Nightmare Beast is smaller, seemingly very ordinary and docile. Only Medea's nightmare beast is not only skinny, but also sickly when it walks.

Medea: ..................

The nightmare beast looked at her with a sneer, and then snorted.

Obviously, due to Medusa's presence, the nightmare beast was almost never fed, and most of the nightmares' painful emotions were taken away in advance.

Four nightmare beasts, carrying four people, quickly galloped forward, and soon arrived in Limbo City.

Limbo City has no walls, just like Hearthfire Island, it is isolated in a half-dimensional space, and naturally does not need any defenses.

The closer you get to the edge, the more low, flat-roofed the houses become, and most of the surrounding inhabitants are ostentatiously hunched over, pacing like old women, clad in black linen robes like shrouds, and clutching canes tangled like tree roots in their hands as dry as eagle claws.

"These are ......," Sheila asked tentatively again.

"That's right, they're not human." Malkina smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

The inhabitants here are not human...... Sheila didn't continue to ask, just stared at these old woman-like creatures, trying to remember the details of each other's appearance.

The deeper you go inside, the more tall and sharp the buildings on both sides of the road become, as if the architectural style here is characterized by slender and sharp edges, and the surrounding pedestrians are gradually replaced by some kind of ivory, puppet-like creatures, with no facial features on their faces and no thin lines on their limbs, just calmly creaking on the side of the road.

Before Sheila could ask, Malkina introduced:

"These aren't humans, either."

"They...... What ethnicity is it? Sheila asked.

"The ugly ones in the surrounding districts are Pisto (believers), and the ones in the city are Fanatico (fanatics)." Malkina said.

"And what race are you, Malkina?" Asker casually asked, "Bishop?" ”

"You're funny, Lord Asker." Through the veil, Malkina lay on the back of the Nightmare Beast, laughing so hard that she couldn't get up, and said seriously, "I'm just a weak woman who can't hold a chicken. ”

"Don't believe her." Medea hurriedly reminded him in the psychic communication.

"Of course." Aske said that he had been wary of her for a long time, "Is this a psychic person?" ”

"I don't know." Medea shook her head, "My spiritual instincts don't respond to her. ”

"But that doesn't mean she's not psychic." Asker said. The co-order sensing of the spiritual intuition of this world is not a panacea, and many secret techniques can play a role in concealment.

"Compared to her, the one you are about to meet is what you should really worry about." Medea said, "She's a true psychic demigod, you don't have psychic abilities, and your thoughts are like a diary spread out in front of her, completely visible to the other party." ”

"So what can you do?" Asker squinted at her.

"I can help you with psychic shielding." Medea narrowed her eyes, "Although with her demigod-level psychic ability, she can easily break through my defenses, but at least we will have a sense instead of being unguarded, and we don't know how much our mind is read." ”

"What about Sheila?"

"Let Sheila stay in the side hall. I'm guessing she's just interested in you. ”

The two communicated secretly in the psychic communication channel, and then explained to Sheila, and soon came to an agreement.

The palace of the Succubus Queen, like the other buildings in the city, is still in the shape of a monument high into the sky. Walking through the temple gate, Sheila suddenly said:

"I'm not going, can I walk around the neighborhood?"

"It's ......," Malkina hesitated.

"Malkina, my mother should only want to see me and the captain." Medea said calmly, "Or did she give you a death order to take all three of us to her?" ”

"Not really." Malkina smiled, "Actually, it was only His Majesty who originally wanted to see His Excellency Asker. Inviting Your Highness to accompany you is my personal little advice to Your Majesty. ”

Medea: ..................

"Look." She was a little sour, and said to Aske in the communication channel, "I don't have a mother-daughter relationship with her, and whether or not you can get the potion later depends on your performance." ”

So Sheila left the team early and walked around the city. Led by Malkina, Asker and Medea made their way deeper into the palace.
