"You can pass, but you have to take me with you, or I won't believe your nonsense. "Top Novel, x."

"Well, Mr. Pesso, if you are not afraid of death...... I'm always welcome. ”

Looking at the black-haired boy in front of him, Roland couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

If you continue to argue with this guy, you will only waste more time, so it is better to bring him in with you. Anyway, when it's dangerous, just stuff this guy into the Ouroboros Ring all at once.

"Well, I'll go inside and lead the way first, I've been there in the first half of the journey, so it's a little familiar."

After reaching a cooperation, Pesso hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the closed door.

As the door was completely pushed open, Roland was finally able to make out what was inside, only to see that it was not a room, but an extremely dimly lit space, very similar to the residence of the god Calfrey.

But the place was not completely dark, but there was a faint glimmer of light, and you could see the stone road beneath your feet.

When I looked closely, I saw that the stone path under my feet continued to stretch towards the interior of the room, as if it were endless, and there was no end in sight.

"Let's go, Baron Roland, if you don't want to get lost, follow me."

"Well, let's move on."

Suddenly, under the leadership of Pesso, Roland slowly walked into the strange area in front of him.

With a snort, the moment his feet stepped here, a strange cold wind blew, which made Roland can't help but get goosebumps.

Neither of them paid much attention to the cold wind, and continued to walk slowly along the floor under their feet.

It didn't take long for a message to pop up in front of Roland's eyes:

Ding, enter the secret land of the Knox family. 】

[Note: Attention!] Please don't let the Fall corrupt your soul. 】

"Wait...... Smell of decay...... Calfrey's half-cut body won't be hidden by the Knox family, right? ”

Suddenly, Roland had a terrible conjecture.

What if the Knox family hid the other half of Calfley's body?

Follow the game's lift. Coupled with the information previously learned, the two can be put together to know that Calfley was attacked after coming to the continent of Enoble, and then was forced to become the patron saint of the Knox family.

And just Pesso said one thing,

That is, what is hidden in the room is something related to the advent of Calfley.

So this conjecture is very likely......

As for why Calfley didn't know, there was probably a force that could block out its detection. The thieves who just appeared are the best proof of this.

Otherwise, in such a close place, as a god, how could he be indifferent to a few invading thieves.

Thinking of this, Roland hurriedly took out the divine stone in the Ouroboros Ring and put it in the palm of his hand.

But the result made him feel a little disappointed, because the white stone did not change at all, not even a trace of light emanated.

"Huh, corpses?"

Just as Roland was thinking, he noticed a corpse lying on the floor not far away.

It can be seen from the armor on his body. This guy is the guard who came in not long ago, but how could he die in this place?

With this question, Roland hurriedly looked in that direction.

I saw the guard lying on the ground in a strange position, his face full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible.

And he died like the guards before him, a hideous corpse.

"Was he attacked by the people of the Pure Darkness Church?"

Roland couldn't help but glance around and muttered in a low voice.

Now the corpse was in the way, unless Roland and the two stepped over it. Or step into the darkness next to the stone path and go around that obstacle.

But either way. All gave him a sense of foreboding.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

"Don't go over, he's not dead...... No, it should be said that he is no longer human. ”

Suddenly, Roland stopped Pesso, who was trying to come and check on him, because the body was not there. Perhaps rightly so. That guy has been corrupted by the dark forces and turned into a dangerous monster.

As soon as the words fell, there was a bang, and the "corpse" on the ground staggered to its feet, letting out bursts of oozing screams.

"Chain of fireworks. Fireball! ”

Before it could look this way, Roland immediately launched an attack on this guy.

With a snort, a chain formed by the condensation of flames appeared out of thin air, instantly binding the monster.

Followed by...... Several scorching pale golden fireballs followed.

It exploded with a thud, erupting into a fierce flame tornado that took a long time before it stopped.

When the flames died down, the corpse-like monster had been charred and emitted a strange smell.

"There's a lot of rot everywhere, and it seems that you Knox have a lot of secrets! Let's move on, I guess things may not be good for Duke Knox......"

Roland just wanted to continue walking, but as soon as he took a step, he saw Pesso beside him as if stunned, motionless.

In desperation, he had no choice but to endure the impatience in his heart and said, "Young Master Peso, if you are afraid, you can return the same way now, after all, the distance is not too far." ”

"No, I'm not scared, I'm going to keep going."

Pesso shook her head firmly and said.

"Okay, you just follow me and show me the way."

Roland glanced at the little fellow, followed the stone slab under his feet, and took the lead to continue walking.

"Go left this time and don't get into the sight of the statues...... Make a note and keep going...... Go to the right. ”

Under Pesso's designation, Roland continued to wander through this dark labyrinth.

I have to say, this maze is really very easy to get lost, and wherever you go, it's dark everywhere without any markings.

If it weren't for Pesso's guidance, it is estimated that he would still be looking for a way.

And the strangest thing that strikes Roland is. The distance they had just traveled was estimated to be larger than the size of the entire Knox family's mansion, but now there was no sign of reaching the end.

When you walk through that door, do you teleport to another dimension?

Or is it some kind of magical expansion?

"That's the only place I've ever been, if my father wasn't there...... Then they're going deeper. ”

Just as Roland was thinking about the strangeness of this place, the voice of Pesso beside him woke him up.

Turn your head to look. The dark-haired boy was found to have stopped and pulled a key out of his pocket.

"Oh!"

Roland replied lightly, and looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see a black iron gate and two forks in the road in front of him.

"There are dead ends on both sides, and inside the door is the only right way, and now the door is still locked, which means that my father and they are not moving on."

Pesso came to the black iron door, and while explaining to Roland, he skillfully inserted the key in his hand.

In the old days. He had been to this place under the Duke of Knox.

It's a collection of obscure collectibles, and a path to deeper areas.

As for what was inside, even Pesso didn't know, because Duke Knox didn't let him and the rest of his sons inside, as if he were hiding a big secret.

Soon, with a click, the lock of the door was immediately opened.

With a gentle push of Pesso's small hand, the door was slowly pushed open.

"I'm afraid they're not here. Need to keep going............ But now I'm afraid I don't know where my father is. ”

When Pesso looked at the scene inside the iron gate, a look of frustration and panic suddenly appeared on his face. It's just a child who encounters difficulties and seems particularly helpless.

At this time, Roland also looked into the room.

I saw that it was empty, only a two-person high stone pillar in the middle, and then a complex black magic array was carved on the ground.

Although it seems ordinary, it reveals a strange atmosphere.

"Damn...... Secondary time domains. ”

Suddenly. Roland's face changed for a moment, and he hurriedly threw out a skill at the position in front of him: Time Domain.

With a buzz, an invisible force surged out of his body, spreading in all directions, forming a huge circular field. Wrap Roland and Pesso, as well as an area of the room.

At the moment when the time realm appeared, a black arm suddenly grabbed Pesso who was standing by the door.

But as soon as it entered the realm of time, it immediately stopped, as if it had been pressed the stop button.

"Damn, I didn't think there was a monster with such good concealment ability here."

Taking advantage of this time, Roland hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Peso back.

When he left the door with Peso for some distance, the effect of the time realm stopping was gone, and the black hand returned to normal movements, slamming towards the air there.

Of course...... Its attack this time has been completely missed.

Because now that Roland and Pesso have retreated to an area of ten meters outside the door, it is difficult to attack them without using magic.

At the same time, the "attacker" also showed his true face in the eyes of the two.

It's just that the final result surprised Roland a little.

Because that's ...... A black arm.

That's right, I saw a black human arm floating in the void next to the door.

"What's that?"

Roland said softly with a solemn expression on the strange thing.

For some reason, he looked at the black hand, and a strange aura appeared in his body, as if he had met a companion.

"It was a collection of my father, the arms of the ancients."

Suddenly, Pesso's eyes were full of surprise and he looked at the black hand and said, "But...... How did it come back to life? ”
