The third floor of the pagoda extends outwards into a long cloister that encircles another stouty and heavy trapezoidal stone building, one tall and one low, facing each other to form a large square paved with stone slabs.

Domba could only see the square below the pagoda but could not see the other end, a barrier of tall shrubs obstructing the view, and Damba guessed that the invisible other end, the trapezoidal building, should belong to the real political center.

The dark and heavy door of the Wu Tower slowly opened to both sides, only to a width that could only accommodate two people parallel to each other, and then stopped, and a middle-aged man in a red robe walked out of the dark door.

The messenger took a few steps forward and bowed to him, "Panwu, the sacrifice has been brought." ”

Tang Ba looked at the seven people who were walking with him and frowned, if she remembered correctly, there were nine tribes in the Devis Continent, but there were only eight sacrifices here.

Pan Wu nodded reservedly, his gaze quickly swept over the sacrifices in different costumes, and finally paused on Tang Ba's face for a moment before looking away and said, "Come with me." ”

The girls looked at each other, spontaneously lined up in a vertical line, and silently followed, as the bright red robes disappeared in the heavy gate one by one, Tang Ba, who walked at the end, looked back at the empty square, and felt that his heart was as empty as the square.

The doors opened on both sides left a band of light on the ground inside the tower, and as she stepped in, she saw her own shadow embedded in the narrow band of light, recalling the cave she had first come to this world, but she had avoided it at that time and now she chose to face it.

The inside of the Wu Tower was cold and dim, Tang Ba rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and his eyes shifted half a circle before he could fully see the outline of the empty rotunda.

The hall, which is half the size of a football field, is topped by a platform resembling a grandstand, and the source of the light is fluorite embedded in the stone railing.

It was only after his eyes met the dim light that he could vaguely see the rows of high-backed seats behind the railing, which would not have been recognizable by the current light if there were people sitting on them.

A loud "bang" echoed through the empty hall, and the aftermath lingered.

All the girls were startled by the sudden noise, and looked at the source of the sound—the gate.

The door was closed by two men whose faces could not be seen clearly, and these two men did not leave, and stood motionless at the door like two puppets.

The originally loose formation instantly gathered into two piles, except for the sacrifices of Zang Wolf and Death, the others were all around Tang Ba, Zhu Shui from Zhigan grabbed Tang Ba's arm, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

The huge space was silent for a moment—

The girls unconsciously held their breath and faintly heard the grinding of clothes coming from nowhere.

Tang Ba looked up at the high-backed seats in the second-floor stands, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but she really saw two figures walking between the seats......

"Keep up!" Luo Wu's low voice was unusually loud in the empty hall, and the girls suddenly snorted again!

As he quickened his pace, he quietly pulled out his red arm, and followed Luo Wu through the hall and into a small door.

Inside the small door was a path that twisted like a sheep's intestine, and after a few twists and turns, a spiraling staircase appeared.

Narrow space, damp walls, circle after circle without any nodes, only spiraling steps, and the only source of light is the extra fluorite in Luo Wu's hand at some point.

Every time you turn a corner, only the faint light leads the way, and people have to speed up their pace and follow up, for fear that even that little light will disappear in the next second.

Tang Bazhen's feeling has been gone for a long time, so long that people have the illusion that there seems to be no end, and when a spacious corridor appears in front of them, it makes people feel a little overwhelmed.

Oil lamps hung on the wall on one side of the hallway, and wooden doors at intervals on the right.

Luo Wu's footsteps did not stop at all, and walked straight forward with the sacrifices, until he stopped in front of a double-opened wooden door.

A woman in an earthy yellow robe was guarding the wooden door, and when she saw Luo Wu bending down and saluting, she pushed the wooden door open.

The Damba was the first of the offerings to enter, and was greeted by nine stone beds arranged side by side, each with its head close to the stone wall facing the door, and every other bed on the stone wall had a small arched window covered with a curtain.

"Luo Wu. A girl came up from one side of the room and saluted Luo Wu.

Domba glanced at the girl's appearance and confirmed that it was the last person, a sacrifice from the maid.

Luo Wu stood opposite the nine girls with his hands folded and said in a deep voice: "Before the Great Witch comes back from the Witch Palace, you will all live here, and the food and living will be waited by 3 slaves, and the Ming Ma outside the door is my guard, you can tell Ming Ma if you have anything or request, and she will tell me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door opened again, and three women in gray robes came in with their khaki clothes in their hands, and gently and quickly put their robes on each bed and stepped back.

Luo Wu spoke again: "You will have the opportunity to become a witch of the Great Witch, so you must pay attention to your words and deeds, as well as your clothes...... "Luo Wu's gaze stayed on Zang Wolf and the Dead Girl, "...... In the future, you will have to wear this witch robe that matches your identity, and you are absolutely not allowed to show your body again. ”

The two naked girls looked at each other, as if they didn't understand what was wrong with this, Ning Lu pursed her lips and snickered, Zhigan's Zhu Shui never raised her head, girls from the Li, Ba and Yi tribes also looked down at the ground, and only Tang Ba and the girl from the maid looked straight ahead calmly.

"Now...... "Witch looked at everyone," ...... Hand over all your weapons. ”

This time, Tang Ba is not calm, in the past few years, she has not even left her weapon when she sleeps, which makes her willing to get used to it!

Without saying a word, the maid girl gently put the stone knife and wooden thorn on the ground, followed by a few girls, although Tang Ba was reluctant to put the horned dagger on the ground, but she deliberately left the short whip.

Luo Wu really stared at the short whip on Tang Ba's waist, Tang Ba pretended to be calm, but his palms were already so nervous that he was sweating, I don't know if Luo Wu didn't recognize it or did it on purpose, he actually let Tang Ba who hid weapons like this, which really made Tang Ba breathe a long sigh of relief.

Luo Wu left with the weapons he had handed in, and the girls seemed to have untied their invisible shackles, and they all rushed to the seductive khaki robes.
