Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Vortex
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
When Rocsil, dressed in soaked clothes, stood before Rhines and solemnly reported that they had found nothing on the altar, she was puzzled to find that the temporary prefect was not only not angry, but rather that the woman, who had always been proud of herself, was now ...... Holding back a smile.
"You're doing a good job, Roselle." The mercenary's serious attitude made the girl think that she had just had a delusion, "Come and dry yourselves, and let's explore this 'cave' a little bit more." ”
There was a warm flame around Rhine's side, and as they approached it, countless small flames dispersed from the flames, circling around their bodies, quickly driving the moisture out of their clothes.
Rossiel was cooking the fire as she continued to think in her head. She'd seen the cloth bags given to her by the silver-haired mercenaries before, and they were usually used to hold certain dangerous items, but only if those items didn't have much magical power.
According to their hypothesis, this altar was made by Rossos to control the goddess, and some of the goddess's objects must have been placed on the altar. Whether it's hair, blood, or a personal item with a deep origin, it will have a huge magical power because it has the breath of a goddess.
She didn't think much about it before she walked into the lake, and Rhines had already proved to them that the leader of the Fili mercenary group could not go wrong in the battle against Roseos. But then I thought of the other party's unfinished words before they set off, and the strange expression of the other party after returning to the lake......
"Lord Reins!" Rossiel jerked her head to look at the laid-back mercenary, "You already knew there was nothing on this altar, did you?" ”
Reins smiled innocently back.
"How could Roses open the entrance near something really important?" She rightly said, "It's just used to confuse us." In the past, Roseos looked down on the family and the mercenaries, and felt that the two parties were stupid and arrogant and would not join forces. But now we won't be so lightly attacked, so there's no way we're going to leave a path that will allow you to get through. ”
The mercenary's natural attitude made Rossiel wonder if she was too stupid.
Once the clothes were warmed by the flames, Rosier and her team followed behind Kyrd and Bianco, led by Rhine, into the depths of the cavern.
Although it is a cave, it is still an acquired space. There are no winding passages, so there is no need to worry about Roseos setting traps for them.
There were countless hedrons scattered on both sides of the road, but they were all like the altar, and had lost most of their original color.
"Is this the hedron that Roses used?" Rossiel looked at them cautiously, "It's not that they've been purified, they've lost their power to turn this color, have they?" ”
"I agree with the second half of your point." Rhines glanced at the hedron on the ground and continued to walk forward, "But is it true that Rossos will throw the used hedron here meaninglessly?" ”
These hedrons have lost most of their strength, but a small number remain. This small portion cannot provide energy for the magic circle or the altar, but it can still be squeezed out of the last bit by Rossos - for example, as the crystal nucleus of the monster.
But for the gods, the hedron is just something that can be created casually. The hedras made by the divine power are in no way inferior to the naturally occurring kinds, and the hedrons scattered in the passage are probably just scraps used by the gods to build this cave.
Even if Rossos wanted to, he couldn't take these hedrons, and the things of the gods were not something that could be taken by humans casually. The act of transforming the lake water also belongs to the ranks of offending the gods, and it is not known whether the people of Roses have the relevant consciousness.
On this continent created by the creator god, unless the rules of the creator god are violated, the gods are the supreme beings. If it weren't for Roses's murder of the creator god in the first place, they wouldn't be able to oppose Roses everywhere now.
Rossos has been judged to be hostile to the creator god, but he still leads his own people to ignore the rules of the creation god and provoke the majesty of other gods one after another. If it weren't for the Demon King and the Grim Reaper standing in Morfi's base in a good manner, they would all have to worry about what Rossos would do.
The cave wasn't entirely unhelpful to Rossos, at least they couldn't track the trails he left behind. The magical element in the space was too strong, completely covering up the aura of human beings.
But this is not a difficult problem for Rhines to solve, since it is a space built with magic, it is possible to find a way according to the rules of magic. Whether or not they could get Roses's rats out was a trivial matter, and their purpose was only to find Roses's hands and feet here.
The light gray mana stickers attached to the stone walls of the cave, walking with the footsteps of the people. The glow of the magic and the faint glow of the hedron mingled into a dim light, making the atmosphere eerie and terrifying.
"Do you still think this place looks like the ruins of Lord Valuto?"
Kryd joked at Bianco, who was clutching his arm tightly, and the latter shook his head vigorously, wishing to hang his whole body on Kyalde's body.
"Lord Valuto's cave is beautiful, it's different from here." She said aggrievedly, "It's better than Lord Avos's palace, so it's not as dark as it is now." ”
The conversation between the two made Rhines speechless for a while, although she didn't know what the "cave" of the god of death looked like, and the ruins of the gods were naturally different from this kind of space. She couldn't help but worry about Elianne - she wasn't targeting Roselle's brother, but there was no doubt that the white-haired girl was just as easy to laugh at.
"What does the Reaper's ruins look like?" Seeing that nothing would be discovered in the near future, Rosier curiously leaned over to Bianko's side and asked, "Most of the ruins we've been to are dilapidated, and they are all walls made of ordinary stones, nothing special. ”
"The ruins of Lord Valuto are beautiful." Bianko repeated earnestly, "though the outer part is overgrown with weeds and bones...... But it's nice inside. It was also a cave, but it was much bigger than this, and we were walking in the water, and the hedrons were floating around us. ”
"Are you all immersed in water?" Rosele was surprised and asked, "How do you breathe?" In that environment, will the magic work properly? ”
"Lord Valuto personally put a hood on us, so that the water can't touch us." Biancoum said proudly, "The blue spar shines brightly in the passage, and it is not dark at all." ”
"That must be wonderful." Rocille said enviously, "Man-made people don't necessarily make a scene like this. ”
Biancole nodded approvingly, then shook her head again.
"But it's also fraught with danger." "Kai said that if that hood suddenly disappears, all six of us will die in it, because that water is not ordinary water," she said. At that time, we didn't know that it was Lord Valuto who was protecting us. ”
"You're so brave." Rossiel exclaimed, then shifted her attention again, "You said six people? Are the other two people who didn't come to the Goddess Continent with you? ”
"Well, Rosie is pregnant and can't come out with us, Letty takes care of her." Bianko wrinkled her nose, "I'm kind of thinking about Rosie...... I don't know if I can see her baby when I go back. ”
"Rather than worrying about whether you can see it, you should guess if what you see when you go back is still not a 'baby'." Kyld reached out and pinched the bridge of her nose, "Calculate the time, the date of Rosette's birth is also in this date." ”
Biancole let out a regretful sigh.
"I still want to know what it's like to have a baby, and my mother said it would hurt, but she wouldn't tell me how much it hurt."
The topic was too far away for Rossil, so she just stuck out her tongue. Kyild decided that his angle was not appropriate to explain this to the girl, so he remained silent.
"Is your small talk over?" Reins asked symbolically, "If it's over, pull your brains back to this dark cavern." Two more steps would be something, and I don't want to see you standing there unarmed waiting to be attacked. ”
Rossiel quickly returned to her rightful position, and Biancole retreated back to Kyird's side, who drew his sword and put his body into a state of readiness.
It took them only three seconds to regain their silence, but they had all the attack measures they could use. Reins nodded in satisfaction and placed her hand on a wall in front of her that looked the same as the rest.
There was a faint light under her palm, and in the next second, a gray magic circle spun rapidly around her palm, and then stopped suddenly after its area dominated the front wall, emitting a faint light on the wall.
There were no more changes, the walls silently disappeared little by little, and the parts where it disappeared remained pitch black. After the wall was completely dissolved, the magic array merged with the pitch-black light curtain, bursting out with a dazzling light, making people subconsciously close their eyes.
By the time they opened their eyes again, the magic circle had vanished, and the black curtain of light had turned into a swirl of different colors that slowly flowed.
"Let's go." Reins glanced back at her companions, "That's it, cheer up." ”
Rossiel took a deep breath and stared intently at the whirlpool. After Reins stepped into the maelstrom, she and one of her teammates followed.
The whirlpool doesn't take away the dominance of the human body with irrefutable force, as it does in the sea, but the frantically switched images in front of you are so dazzling that it's almost impossible to stay awake.
"Close your eyes." Reinth's calm voice came, strangely calming her thoughts, "You don't have to worry about anything else. ”
