Chapter 34 (The Eight Gates of Destiny)

Walking in the endless corridors, everyone couldn't help but feel a trace of dissatisfaction and fear in their hearts. After all, if this continues, they will most likely be trapped here.

Now they've been walking for more than five hours, and they still haven't seen the intersection that Hull said they were talking about. However, fortunately, they still have a few horses, so they can kill and eat meat in an emergency, and they will not starve to death.

In addition to comforting Messena as he walked deeper, Deklaas kept observing the wall on the side. He found that no matter how long he walked, the inscriptions on the walls were not repeated! That is, they did not go around in one place.

But if they're not walking in circles, what's going on with this unlimited corridor now?? Wait a minute...

Deklaas seemed to have thought of something, and immediately took his wife Messena and walked back without hesitation.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel strange, but they didn't say anything. After all, they had just made a mark on the ground to prevent them from going in circles. Now going back, I must have thought of something. So the people followed the two of them and began to go back.

In fact, Deklaas remembered the plot of a story and began to walk back with his wife. In the story, the protagonist keeps running down a street in search of his missing daughter, only to find that the street has no end. He knew that he would not be able to find his daughter if he kept running, so he turned around and asked someone to go and find him together. But as soon as he turned around, he found that he was out of the street, and his daughter was watching him at the exit of the street...

As the story goes, not long after the crowd turned back, they came to the crossroads that Hull called a crossroads. It's just that it's not just an intersection, it's a few skeletons and two people.

The two men were a man and a woman, one hidden in a gray robe, and the other hidden in a white robe, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Who are you??" asked the woman in a gray robe among the two, seeing the crowd coming.

Except for the Deklaas and the Wesker siblings, who chose to remain silent very cautiously, the others did not think much about it and informed the gray-robed woman and the white-robed man of their names.

"Undead??I didn't expect to meet the undead here. As soon as he heard the mercenary and the two two noble sons tell the names of the four Deklas and Wesker siblings, the white-robed man couldn't help but sneer.

It is clear that he does not like the undead, and even says that he hates them. But even so, Deklaas and Messna, the guide Hull, and the Wesker brothers and sisters were all very keenly aware that the white-robed man himself was also an undead!!

Since the other party looked down on the undead and didn't want to talk to the other party, Deklaas and Mecina stepped aside, but observed the crossroads in the center of the Skogrema ruins.

It's not true to say it's a crossroads, because it's a big octagon. There is a passage to the south, east, west, and northwest to exit the ruins. And in the southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest, four directions, there is a huge gate in each direction!!

These gates are carved with different depictions. For example, on the gate to the southeast, there is a carving of a black goat cub. The lower body is three* legs with hooves, the upper body is many and long tentacles, and there are a large number of large mouths that grow irregularly on the body. It looks very weird and hideous.

"Do you have the key??" Just as everyone was observing the four gates, the gray-robed woman suddenly took out an ancient ornament and said with a chuckle, "This is what it looks like." Without it, we wouldn't be able to open these doors. ”

As soon as she saw the ancient ornament in the hands of the gray-robed woman, Messena was shocked, and the force of grabbing Deklaas's arm involuntarily increased, and it was almost cracking Deklaas's arm bone.

“... Take it easy... What don't they dare to do..."Feeling Messena's strength, Deklaas immediately patted Messena's hand lightly and comforted him softly.

In Deklaas's opinion, the gray-robed woman was able to take out the key, which was obviously a warning to the others, I have the strength to hold the key, and those who don't have the strength will obediently roll to the side!!

Obviously, everyone present read the meaning of the gray-robed woman and moved away from her. Seeing this, the gray-robed woman and the white-robed man inserted the ancient key into the door in the northeast direction to carve a large piece of meat with a big mouth!!

Then I saw the gate slowly open, and a trace of rotten smell wafted out from behind the gate. made everyone except Deklaas frown in unison!!

However, she didn't know what the gray-robed woman's nose was, and the moment the door just opened, she rushed in quickly, without waiting for the white-robed man's thoughts that were tangled in the rancid smell.

After the white-robed man entered the open door as if he were dead, Messna, who was tightly grasping Deklaas's arm, relieved herself to ease some of her strength.

After Messena was completely reassured, Deklaas took out the ancient ornament that he had deceived from Resena before, and inlaid it on the northwest gate according to the pattern on it.

The depiction on this gate is simple, a human, an orc, and an elf standing together. But such a pattern made Deklaas suspicious. Because the moment the key is inlaid, the three different races in the pattern instantly turn into skeletons!!

After the door opened, Deklaas did not rush into the dark and deep passage. Because he found that there was an unusually thick dead air in this passage. The intensity of the dead qi made even him, the undead, feel a little uncomfortable.

He stood there and pondered what was in this passage and what was related to the cause of his death. He had never been here in his lifetime, and he had never discussed it with anyone else, and his family had nothing to do with the ruins. Why??Why does the cause of his death have anything to do with this??

After pondering for a long time, Deklaas did not get an answer. He was missing a part of his memories during his lifetime, and it was likely that this part had something to do with the ruin. So he stopped thinking about these things, and took out the strange box from the spatial ring that he had previously obtained from the temple of the goddess of sunlight. Then he opened the box, took out a dark blue fruit the size of a baby's fist, and handed it to Messena for her to eat directly.

"Honey!!This is what you used to build the life box, how can you let me eat it!?" Messna was immediately surprised at the sight of the dark blue fruit.
