Chapter 45: "The World of Doors"

Around St. Ivan, "Alexei", "Uriel", "Felix" and "Angel of Light" appeared one after another, and they rushed here before legendary magicians such as Douglas and Fernando, but never entered.

"Berkovsky, what do we do?" Alexei called "St. Ivan" by the name of the current Pope of the North, Berkovsky, and between words, put himself in a similar position.

"St. Ivan's" golden eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and his azure eyes dyed with a layer of pale yellow looked intently at the gray behind the soul fireplace and said: "I suspect that the monster is still inside, and there is no coordinate change law left by Muskeling or Viken, and I don't know where to go in it, I don't know how to find their whereabouts, so I can only rely on luck." ”

He was vaguely afraid, as if he had encountered something when he had explored that entrance, and he didn't dare to take too much risk with the strength to be able to cast the "Divine Grace Technique".

"Then let's move the 'Spirit Chamber' first?" Felix's gaze was also focused on the gray corridor, and he didn't even glance at the entrance wrapped in illusory ripples, as if he didn't have the slightest curiosity about it.

"St. Ivan" was silent for a moment and said: "But I suspect that the people of the Magic Council dared to come to explore the Necromantic Sanctuary because they got the things left by Maskerin or Viken, after all, Viken's lair is located on the edge of the Kingdom of Holm, and when the Great Cross Shelf Mystery Lock was broken, Hathaway was also on the scene, if they found the relics of the legendary magicians back then, they knew how to enter the 'Immortal Secret Room'." The wishes and dreams of the saints of all ages will be difficult to fulfill. ”

As he spoke, his eyes glanced imperceptibly at the corridor shrouded in illusory ripples.

Before "Uriel" they spoke, "Ivan" continued: "So I enter with Mikhail, you go and transfer the 'Holy Spirit Chamber', he is projected with the help of Gono's divine objects, even if he dies inside, it is not a big problem, and I have enough strength to guarantee it." ”

Mikhail was referring to the "Angel of Light".

"Good boy, Berkovsky, don't be careless. We don't know exactly what happened to Maskeling, Viken, and others. For what will never come out again. "Uriel," whispered.

He wasn't quite sure that Muskeline and the others were dead, after all, the more he walked into the depths of the Necronomicon Temple, the more abnormal the flow of time became, when he was on the periphery. One day is equivalent to five days outside. Arriving near the soul fireplace is equivalent to about seven or eight days. Inside, it should be even more terrifying, and legendary magicians such as Maskeling and Viken, who have been missing for nearly a thousand years in the outside world, may have only been in the "Gate World" for a hundred years.

"Ivan" nodded slightly: "I am afraid what happened to them is beyond our imagination. I can't even use their items to cast prayer spells, prophecy techniques, etc., but this time, with someone from the Magic Council in front of me, I can exit in time if any danger happens. ”

After a short discussion, "Ivan" and "Angel of Light" crossed the soul hearth and entered the gray corridor, while "Alexei" and other saints returned to the Holy Spirit Chamber, so as not to be found by reinforcements from the Magic Council according to the law of coordinate changes.

Silence regained in front of the soul fireplace, and at this moment, the Lich King, surrounded by strange gems above his head, protruded from the wall, and two red needles stared at the entrance where Lucien and the others entered.

After a while, a transparent ghost flew over, it was wearing a black robe with a gorgeous crimson pattern painted on it: "Not going in?"

From its attitude and tone, it is clear that it is the same existence as the Lich King, that is, one of the masters of the outer area of the Necronomicon Temple, the Wraith Lord.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I go in. The Lich King's voice was hoarse, and the anger at Lucien's previous intrusion had subsided, and he no longer felt like he had desecrated the sacred Necronomicon Temple.

The Ghost Lord's voice drifted, "You're not afraid that the Lord will punish us when he wakes up?"

The Lord in its mouth is obviously referring to the mysterious existence of the necromantic realm.

"Hermes and Krossos have tracked in, and we need to guard the outside to prevent more enemies from breaking into the temple. "The Lich King's two-point needle-like red glow flickered coldly.

The Ghost Lord floated in place: "Yes, Kiapus has been killed by the enemy, and if we go in again, the outer defenses will become vacuum." ”

The two legendary necromancers glanced at each other and quietly hid nearby, waiting for the "survivors" who came out of it, and also guarding against the infiltration of other strong people.

............

The dome was gray, the floor tiles were gray, the walls were gray, the torches and the burning flames on both sides were also gray, and Lucien could not see any other color except himself, as if he had come to a distorted world.

Without bothering to check what flames could not be extinguished, Lucien flew extremely fast and fled along the corridor inside, and after a few seconds, he saw a closed black door, which was very conspicuous in the gray world.

Compared to the grandiose grandiose of the rest of the Necronomicon Temple, this pure black unpatterned gate, which is only two and a half meters high, gives Lucien a very intimate feeling as a human being, as if he has returned to the kingdom of Holm.

After inspecting the gate urgently, and finding no traps, Lucien directly opened it with the "door opening technique".

As the black door slowly opened back, the gray hall inside appeared in Lucian's eyes, except for the three black doors at the three corners, empty and gloomy.

Ignoring anything else, Lucien broke through several similar halls one after another, and only after feeling the change in time and space did he slow down his movements, not daring to continue deeper.

"These grey halls are so weird, the same empty, the same four corners with four black doors, and if it weren't for the slight difference in the pattern and the position of the pillars, it would make one think that they are the same hall. Lucien looked around while re-blessing himself with spell triggering, spell sequencing and other magic, and at the same time secretly said to himself, if you change someone else, I am afraid that you will think that these gray halls are fake, and the black door is the "body".

Recalling the environmental parameters he had just collected, Lucien was slightly surprised to find: "The law of coordinate change left by Mr. Maskeling is completely applicable here. I'm not afraid that I won't find my way back. ”

"But the frequency of the buildings here is too exaggerated, isn't it? I change almost every time I open two doors. Lucien thought in his mind, although in this way, his safety was guaranteed, for example, after he opened a black door and escaped, when the Lord of Hell or the legendary necromancer who tracked him opened the same black door again, he would probably find that the hall behind the door had changed, but it also increased the danger to himself, who knows if the hall behind the door has changed into the one with enemies.

Over here. Prophecy and probing magic has been greatly suppressed.

"Vigilance is necessary. Lucien once again stacked himself with a bunch of intuition and hunch magic. In previous battles, the three "Advanced Time Stops" of the "Moonwatch" had been depleted, only one "Gravitational Collapse" remained, and the "Elemental Protection" of the Grand Arcanist's Robe and the "Dead Barrier" of the "Ring of Congus" had also been used up. In other words. For a short period of time. In addition to transforming into an epic knight and picking up the shield of truth, the only legendary defense he can use is the "Space-Time Scepter", "I have to find a quiet place to crack the crown of the ancient mummy." One more legendary item is one more guarantee. ”

This hall is only four or five "black doors" away from the exit, Lucien is not too relieved, it happens that the probability of encountering the enemy is very high, so he randomly picked a black door, carefully inspected it and pushed it open with magic.

In the gray color, Lucien suddenly caught a little silver-white light fleetingly, and suddenly he was on high alert, and his spiritual force field spread.

The gray hall was still quiet and unoccupied, but the ground was filled with patterns left over from the use of the magic array.

Its original material had long since disappeared, leaving only faint silver-white traces on the ground, complex and strange, which not only made Lucien feel sacred and solemn, but also made his heart palpitate inexplicably, as if it was the most evil thing in the world, which was very similar to the original feeling of Yongdao.

"Mr. Maskelin, the magic array they have used, the magic array that they have never seen before......" Lucien recorded the remaining patterns in the soul library, and searched for it, but failed to compare and find similar things, it seems that if you want to understand its function, you can only crack it from scratch, and here are only residual plane traces, it is very difficult to reverse analyze, and Lucien does not know when he will be able to complete it.

After memorizing the pattern, Lucien looked at it again as a whole, and suddenly found that this magic array vaguely constituted a corner of the six-pointed star.

The six-pointed star, the most basic magic pattern, originally came from the cult of fertility, and was later greatly improved by ancient magicians combined with the patterns of many magical creatures, showing the fusion of body and soul, and the interference of spiritual power in the material world.

"Is there six similar magic circles, but what's the use?" Lucien didn't want to stay in this room that was even more strange than the other halls, anyway, the pattern had already been recorded, so he flew towards the black door in the other direction.

Just then, Lucien noticed what appeared to be a fragment beneath a gray stone pillar, and carefully picked it up with a mage's hand.

"Fragments of parchment, magically treated parchment?" Lucien identified what the fragmented thing was, and only magically treated parchment could survive years in such an environment.

And there is only one dark word on the gray shredded paper:

"Devil"!

"Devil?" Lucien recounted the word, written in ancient Hilfanus script, which usually had two meanings, one referring to the demons in the nine layers of hell, and the other referring to dangerous and terrifying evil things in general, "which meaning could it be?"

While thinking about it, Lucien searched the hall carefully, but found nothing else, so according to the predetermined plan, flew to the "black door" and examined it carefully.

This black door separates the inside and outside, and Lucian's magic and psychic power cannot extend inside until he pushes it open, so he must be careful enough, and this also makes Lucien make up his mind that when he leaves, he must take a black door back to study - this is the instinctive idea of the arcanist.

Under the "Open Door Technique", the black gate slowly retreated, and a figure suddenly appeared in Lucian's pupils!

With a black shirt, a red coat, long silver hair and eyes, and a pool of dark red blood on his chest, the whole person is full of bewitching beauty.

"Mr. Rhein?" Lucien blurted out, his mustered magic easing slightly.

The corners of Rhine's mouth, who was lazily leaning on a gray stone pillar, hooked:

"Hi Lucien, we meet again. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: There is a statement that seems to be wrong, it should be that the deeper you go, the slower the flow of time.
