As Wendell spoke, Gregory began to understand.

At the beginning, after Wendel was corrupted by the gray mist, his body disintegrated and differentiated into dozens of individuals, each of which was a part of Wendel and also carried part of Wendel's soul, and Wendel's main soul was attached to the body of the "religious patriarch".

When the initial period of madness passed, Wendel's main soul also temporarily regained consciousness, and when faced with the distortion of his soul by the "Gray Mist Will", Wendell replaced his main soul with the remnant soul in the incarnation, in order to delay the progress of the soul being distorted, at least, he was still able to stay awake until all the remnant souls were distorted by the Gray Mist Will.

During this time, Wendell personally established the Gloomy Church, and used the knowledge he gained as the Patriarch of the "Fire Keeper" Order to open a quiet room in the depths of the Gloomy Chapel that could isolate the gray mist, until this moment, Wendel's soul was finally temporarily freed from the threat of the gray mist, and his consciousness was able to remain awake for a long time.

The premise is that he is trapped in this ashram forever.

And even if he imprisons himself in this ashram forever, eventually his soul will be affected by the gray mist.

It was true that there was no gray mist in the ashram, but his body was still full of the power of gray mist.

These powers are entangled with the power of the flames, and although they are not very corrosive to the soul compared to the pure power of the gray mist, they will still make Wendell crazy over time.

Thus, the plan to build the city began.

Under the control of Wendel's "self", many avatars began to transform the ghostly church, so that the entire ghostly church has the characteristics of repelling gray mist, and then he collected a group of berserk beasts, and after corresponding transformations, they turned them into humanoid monsters who knew how to use tools, and built this dark city together.

After more than ten years, the entire secluded city and the secluded church were renovated, and the secluded city also had the characteristics of low rejection of gray fog, turning the entire city and part of the "suburbs" outside the city into a low gray fog concentration area, and the secluded church became a complete "fog-free zone", when the church door was closed, no gray fog could enter the church.

But at this very moment, Wendel's "id" soul has also reached a certain limit: the last of his pure soul is about to be distorted by the gray fog and become the executor of destruction at the front and back of the car.

And just then, the city welcomed its first "guest" - an unlucky adventurer.

In a battle in the gray mist, he was separated from his companions, without the protection of the fire, in order to resist the corrosive power of the gray mist, the adventurer's own strength was rapidly consumed, just when his body was about to be fully invaded by the gray mist, he was very "lucky" to find this "relic city in the gray mist".

Then he was knocked unconscious, unconscious, and dragged by monsters into a secluded church.

The adventurer never woke up, and when he reappeared in the city, he was already a monster eroded by the gray mist.

Wendell, on the other hand, was relieved that his soul, which had been twisted to the limit, had recovered a small part of it.

Wendell found that when he used the power of the gray mist in his body to corrupt humans in an environment without gray fog, the distortion of his soul would also be transferred to the human body, allowing his soul to regain consciousness.

Of course, the soul of an ordinary adventurer was too weak to fully recover Wendel's soul compared to Wendel's, so he researched something that could tempt humans.

"Carol?"

Gregory suddenly thought of the eerie ode in the Black Tide of the Blue City.

"Yes."

Wendell nodded, and continued.

In this way, two or three groups of lost adventurers are lured to the secluded city every year, allowing Wendel's soul to gradually recover, and even before the Blue City Black Tide, the soul of one of Wendel's incarnations has regained some sanity.

However, after Gregory made two big news in a row, the power of the gray mist became more violent, and the soul of that avatar was distorted again.

Now, of course, Gregory's focus is not on that at all: "If you sacrifice other people's lives just to ensure the sobriety of your own soul......"

"I'm just doing the right thing," Wendell shook his head, "if my soul falls, it won't be one or two adventurers who will be sacrificed." ”

"Look at those monsters outside, now with my constraints, these powerful monsters will rarely leave this city, even if they were driven by the will of the gray mist to join the black tide, they can only maintain a human state and be slaughtered, what if my soul is completely destroyed? I, who will do whatever it takes to destroy the world, will completely liberate the combat power of these monsters, and may still not be able to threaten the ring city where the four of them are seated, but how many people will die because of this? ”

"I can understand, it's just ......"

Gregory sighed, he understood all these things, but he just couldn't accept it.

"It's all for the higher good."

Angus patted Gregory on the shoulder and said.

Gregory clearly didn't want to discuss this anymore: "So, what to do now?" ”

"Kill those monsters," Wendell pointed to the door of the ashram, "I'll control those monsters to enter the church one by one, they won't resist, you just need to kill them with this sword in your hand." ”

"But what's the point?"

Gregory couldn't figure it out, the Berserk Beast was essentially just an aggregate of the power of the Gray Mist, and when the Berserk Beast was killed, the power of the Gray Mist would be dispersed back into the heavens and the earth, and it would not weaken the power of the Gray Mist, and when these forces recondensed into new Berserk Beasts in other places, without Wendel's suppression, they would create a greater threat.

"But you have it," Angus pointed to the spiral sword in Gregory's hand, "it can kill those monsters 'completely', the monsters killed by this sword, their souls will be absorbed, and the power of the gray mist that makes up the body will also be dispersed and become pure energy, pure energy will not condense into monsters." ”

"I see."

Gregory nodded, his right hand holding the Flame Proof tightened slightly, and a layer of fire suddenly lit up on the long sword.

The door to the ashram quietly opened, and Gregory walked out with his sword, and Corrie and Hale were about to walk out, when the door to the ashram suddenly closed.

"Just stay here for now."
