Chapter 39 (Slow and Fast Time)
Just when everyone expanded the small hole to accommodate one person to pass through, Deklas had already advanced to the tenth order for no apparent reason!! Although it was said that the god of death had only given two healing magics, it also made Deklaas a little excited.
However, unclear advancement is not always a good thing. It's very likely that something strange is causing it, and if he doesn't know why he advanced, Deklaas wouldn't be genuinely happy.
The advancement of the undead is not as troublesome as the advancement of the living, it requires a state of mind, strength, spirit, and control. The undead only need death energy, or death energy full of death energy, and time... Wait!!TIME!!
“... Feed... Among you... Does anyone have a pocket watch?" Deklaas immediately opened his mouth and asked the children of the nobles such as Shodrep and the two mercenaries of Quedli.
Although everyone didn't know what he meant, the noble kid in the team who had not said a few words from beginning to end immediately took out a pocket watch from his bosom and wanted to hand it to Deklaas. But as soon as he glanced at his pocket watch, he screamed and almost threw it away!!
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be curious, so they also glanced at the pocket watch, which immediately stunned them. I saw that the minute hand and the hour hand on the pocket watch were turning so fast that the minute hand was almost invisible!!
Seeing this, everyone immediately hurriedly sent the pocket watch to Deklaas, wanting him to give an answer. Deklaas was stunned for a moment as soon as he glanced at the rapidly spinning pocket watch, and then he had the answer in his mind.
“... We were in this room inside the time... It's not the same time outside... The time here... It's many, many times fuller than the outside... Strictly speaking... It's a day here... It's two years outside..."Deklaas thought for a moment, then didn't care about anything, and said the answer in his heart.
"What!!"
"Impossible!!"
"No, no!!!!"
As soon as they heard the answer, everyone was immediately shocked. They've been here for more than three days, that's more than six years, according to Deklaas!!!
Outside the heart, they must be regarded as dead people!!Wife remarries, sweetheart becomes other people's wife, husband, family sees them as losers, employers see them as garbage in the garbage!!These are the last things they want to see, but as soon as they leave here, these will follow!!
"What are we going to do now??" Quaddli sat down on the ground in dismay, asking the older mercenary what to do now.
Now their mercenary team must be notorious. Even if they were able to leave the ruins safely, there would be no one looking for them. So the old mercenary didn't have anything to do, just shook his head heavily and sighed.
Like them, there are also Shodrep and others. They came out to complete the task of handing over the patriarch, as long as they were in the ruins, they could casually copy a document back, and they could become the patriarch and the patriarch's right and left hand. But now... Alas~~~!!! can only turn into a sigh of helplessness.
Unlike them, Deklaas and Messena don't have much to think about. The two of them are husband and wife, and one of them is an undead spirit with no life expectancy, and the other is a demon with a long lifespan. Six years is a little bit of time, but it's just a snap of a finger.
The only thing that could make them worry was the cause of Deklaas's death. The two of them don't want to waste their time here and not find out the cause of Deklaas's death!!
“... Never mind... Never mind... Let's go to the next room first" Looking at the pain, disappointment, and despair on everyone's faces, Deklaas sneered slightly in his heart and proposed.
The crowd thought there was no harm in doing so, and agreed. One by one, the crowd entered the room opposite the cave, but no one noticed that the couple Deklaas and Mecina were the last to enter the room...
This room is huge, but... How to say it... Oh!!, but hate gorgeousness. Whether it is the floor, the walls, or the ceiling, there are many, many gemstones. There are emeralds, opals, pink diamonds, and some of the purple that shines on their own. It can be described as a high-sounding one, which makes the two mercenaries who have been dangerous all their lives but can't make any money, and suddenly blossom. If it weren't for the fear of some mechanism, maybe they would have dug up all these gems one by one!!
However, in such a gorgeous room, those three worms that are many but not climate-friendly are really a bit of an eyesore. However, everyone did not pay much attention except for Deklaas and Messna.
The power of these worms is known only to Deklaas, who has actually seen them. Even Messena only knew the power of this terrifying and weak creature from the mouth of Deklaas.
The sea of worms is only a part. It's not the gnawing that's really scary...
In this room, there is a spiral staircase that leads to the top of the ruins. It's very high, so high that you can't see the top. Many of the people wanted to climb from this staircase to the top in order to leave this ruin. But there are also those who don't think so, such as the Deklaas and the guide Hull, and the Wesker siblings.
Deklaas was to two temples of other gods, and knew that many things in the temple were extremely dangerous and could not be touched!
As a guide, Hull naturally knows the power of the mechanisms in the various ruins. Otherwise, he wouldn't be alive either. The reason why the Wesker siblings didn't think like the others was because the two of them were suspicious when they saw that neither of the two who were the most qualified to speak had spoken, so as not to fall into some trap.
In the end, after some discussion, everyone decided to divide the army into two ways. The Decraas, the Wesker siblings, and the guide Hull were left behind to find a way out of the ruins in this and previous rooms. The mercenary duo and Shodrep, as well as another noble son, and the other four people, went up the spiral staircase to find a way out.
In this way, the four of them stepped on the spiral staircase, which is almost a point of no return, and it may take a lot of danger to leave the ruins! Their life or death has nothing to do with Deklaas ...
After the four of them set foot on the point of no return, Deklaas and the other five began to look for a way out of the ruins in this room. However, the attention of the Deklaas was now completely focused on the bones in the room...
