Chapter 16: The Untouchable Truth

Wright and his party entered the stone gate, which was connected to a deep passage.

The passage obviously has traces of artificial excavation and piling, but it has gone through vicissitudes.

As Wright walked, he burst into tears.

Lilith noticed that something seemed wrong with Wright's state, and gave her the impression that Wright seemed to have become a different person.

"Wright!" Lilith suddenly cried.

"What?" Wright came to his senses, he looked at Lilith suspiciously, and then felt a little cold on his face, and he couldn't tell if it was sweat or tears when he wiped it with his hands.

"You were in a strange state just now. ”

"yes, I just feel like I suddenly have a lot of memories, and I've been combing through them just now. ”

"He may have been affected by the strong emotions attached to his memory. Reese said.

"Chances are, you have to stay awake yourself, otherwise it's easy to have mental problems. Lilith said.

Wright raised his vigilance, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful." ”

Several people walked for more than ten minutes and finally walked out of the passage.

It was dark at the end of the passage, and the only thing that could be confirmed was that there was a lot of space ahead.

"Whew~" A gust of wind blew. It seems that there is a passage to the ground.

Lilith rubbed a fireball and threw it high into the distance. The fireball reaches its highest point and is detonated by Lilith.

"Bang!" the fireball exploded to illuminate a part of the area, bringing them a brief moment of light.

They were stunned by what was happening in front of them, and a magnificent piece of music seemed to play in their heads.

Impressive tall statues, staggered and neatly arranged buildings, everything here seems to show that in front of them is a once-large, glorious underground kingdom!

Bakker's words are a little intelligible: "Yes... Is it the kingdom of the stone-skinned dwarves that Wright just said?"

Isaac came to the stone wall and crouched down, observing it for a moment before poking his finger at something in the ravine beneath the stone wall.

"This is supposed to be cooled magma, and it seems that they rely on the light of the magma for illumination. ”

"Wright, do you have anything else in your memory?"

Wright shook his head after recalling for a while and said, "It's been so long that the memories are blurry. ”

Isaac didn't know where to find two torches, but they were still usable.

Holding the torch, the team with the light finally felt a little more relaxed. They explored along the way, wanting to see more places.

Lilith remembered the ancient history she had seen at home, "Legend has it that the stone-skinned dwarves all disappeared overnight, some say they were swallowed by the Flame Lords, and some say they fled to unknown lands to escape the war. ”

Several people talked all the way to the statue.

Wright looked at the statue and a picture flashed through his mind.

He is shown from a high vantage point, next to a white-bearded dwarf with a golden crown, and below him are countless cheering dwarves.

In the middle of the dwarves, there is the statue in front of them, a bearded dwarf holding a war hammer, it seems to be the one with the golden crown in the picture, and this golden-crowned dwarf should be the king of the dwarves.

The golden-crowned dwarf seemed to say something else, but Wright couldn't recall it.

Wright walked around the statue, looked into the distance and said, "There should be a castle ahead, the castle of the dwarven king." Let's take a look. ”

With that, Wright took the lead in place of Isaac with a torch.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to reach the walls of the king's castle and follow them to the gates.

The gates were ajar, and behind them were rusty pieces of armor and weapons. The further you go inside, the more armor and weapons there are. Many of them are located at intersections, gates, roads, etc., which should be the places where soldiers stand guard and patrol.

"Their bodies seem to have just disappeared, leaving only weapons and armor that don't perish. ”

"No, they should have turned to dust. Lilith crouched down in front of a piece of armor and dipped her hand in it to examine it closely, "There is also a legend that the dwarves were punished by the creator gods, their bodies were destroyed and turned to dust, and their souls were immortalized and tortured by eternal loneliness. ”

Lilith's words seemed to activate something, and the city, which had been unusually quiet just a moment ago, suddenly resounded with countless wails.

The wail went straight to the soul, and everyone's goosebumps rose!

"Quick, go into the castle. Wright didn't know why, but his sixth sense told him to go into the castle, so he said to his companions.

The group quickly came to the gate of the castle, and Wright tried to push it, and the door slowly opened with a "rattle" sound.

Isaac closed the door when his companions entered, and strangely enough, the terrible wails outside died down as the door closed.

Wright threw the torch into a nearby ditch, and with a "boom", a string of fiery snakes ignited. The hall was illuminated, and the Wright saw a throne at the end of the main entrance. The throne had a cloak and a golden crown.

Before everyone could look away, suddenly the scene in front of them changed.

Isaac suddenly found himself on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, opposite an endless orc army, and he was holding a large shield as tall as a man, carrying his companion's spear on his shoulder, waiting for the charge of the orcs on the opposite side.

Lilith finds herself back on that night of killing, and once again she watches her friends and loved ones being killed by the invaders.

Roy saw the other self rolling on the ground with his eyes covered in green flames, rolling and wailing.

......

Wright was facing the abyssal demon with no end in sight, and there was nothing behind him, he was alone at this time.

The demon leader stretched out his hand to him, as if to ask him to follow him, but Wright had only one thought at this time, "Fight until you die!"

So Wright drew his two-handed sword and charged fiercely towards the Abyss Demon.

The opposing demon army charged at the same time, and the disparity in strength between the two sides made the battle seem like a joke.

It was already so close that Wright could even feel the temperature of the flames on the demon on the other side, and he slashed at the demon with a sword.

There was no expected feeling of blocking or slashing the entity, and the scene in front of him suddenly disappeared. He saw the throne again, but behind him was a burning wall of fire. If you hadn't gone forward in the illusion just now, but had gone backwards...

"Why did you betray us, betray the Creator, betray Elzes?" the voice came from the throne.

Wright looked over and saw a green, translucent shadow sitting in his seat.

"We didn't betray anyone!" Wright roared with a sense of guilt and unspeakable anguish.

"Reason. ”

"The time has not come, the truth is sealed in memory, I can't say... Can't even think about it. ”

The dwarven king in the state of the soul roared, "Betrayers, you will pay the price!"

"No! We didn't betray anyone. ”

"See for yourself. The dwarven king put away his anger and waved his hand to show a picture in front of Wright.

In the first scene, the Watchers, each holding a one-handed sword in each hand, leads a large coalition of various races to attack the Abyss Demons.

The picture flashes to the joyful moment when the coalition forces are singing and dancing to celebrate the victory.

The screen switches again, what deal did the leader of the watchers make with the demon king of the abyss, one person and one demon signed a soul contract, and the burning contract slowly carved a magic circle above their heads, if one party breaks its promise, the soul will be torn to pieces.

Once again, a picture flashed over the world, some of the humans in the coalition died directly, and then they actually stood up again, but turned into undead, some of their eyes spewed out green evil flames and fell to the ground rolling and wailing, and the bearren people's fur rotted and painful, and they lost their minds and began to kill each other.

Finally, there are the Stoneskin Dwarves, who are responsible for crafting weapons and armor and engineering tools for the Coalition forces in the rear. The dwarves, wielding hammers in full swing, suddenly began to turn into dust from the soles of their feet, floating in the air. Their bodies have turned to dust, but their souls are cursed to live forever, and they will suffer from no return, and they will be tormented by loneliness.

Large tears rolled down Wright's eyes, and the seal in his veins warned him that he couldn't touch the truth yet, he couldn't say it, he couldn't even think about it.

However, the countless races that have been implicated by this, "How can I face it, how can I make amends?" Wright has never been so confused, helpless, and lonely as he is now.
