After nearly an hour of cracking, with his rich accumulation in the field of occultism, as well as the powerful computing and analytical power of the "Pure White Eye", Abner finally deciphered the secret of the mural and the real reason why the two knights were not buried by the Augustus family.

It turned out that the "space" in which Solomon's "treasure" existed was "exiled" from this world after the fall of the Black Emperor, floating in the infinite starry sky, and could not reach it at all......

This is also the fundamental reason why Augustus, as an angel family, was still helpless after learning about this treasure, and could only train specific "knights" to complete it.

According to the "information" revealed by the mural, it is supposed to be the handiwork of a blood duke, who used the reverse operation of the "summoning master" ability to banish the space.

If you want the "space" to return, you need to have the blood and spirit of the demigods of the descendants of the Solomon family who are stained with the "Inquisitor" path and the "Black Emperor" path respectively on the two ritual swords created by the blood duke, and hold a specific ceremony to locate and recall the "treasure".

What's more, even if the ritual is completed, the effect is only "recall" and "positioning", and it will take an extremely long time for that "space" to re-approach the world......

And the reason why the two knights did not look at each other was because they acted as a "signal tower" for this world as part of the ceremony......

As far as their eyes could see, it was the current coordinate position of the space on the mural, and the "gaze" itself was actually constantly navigating that "space".

Finally, according to calculations, it will take 1193 for the two knights of the House of Augustus to become "signal towers" and officially recall Solomon's treasure space, before they can truly intersect with this world......

That was the time period when Russell changed the republic into an empire, calling himself Caesar.

……

In this way, most of the puzzles are solved...... As for the ritual itself, it does not require the life of the officiant, as long as a small amount of blood and part of the spirit, it is better explained, naturally the Augustan family did not want the secret to be revealed, so they fooled the two knights who believed in "loyalty" to voluntarily give their lives......

The only thing that I can't figure out is why a Blood Duke would help Solomon's Black Emperor arrange the relic treasure? And the Black Emperor was willing to trust Him...... It's hard to figure out......

Could it be that their personal relationship is good? Or was the Blood Duke herded by the angels of the True Creator at the time?

It's no wonder that Cullen didn't think Russell could find anything here from the start...... He probably knew some of the secrets.

Shaking his head, abandoning his unfounded conjectures, Abner turned his head and, under Russell's expectant gaze, gave him a detailed account of the results of his investigation and analysis.

After listening to this, Russell nodded abruptly, and then just wanted to say something, but his face suddenly changed, and various expressions such as anger, sentimentality, fear, and excitement took turns on his face, and finally turned into a touch of helplessness.

At the same time, Abner also received the news that Mission 2 had been completed, and was about to apply to return to the "Reward Room", when he suddenly heard Russell sigh in Chinese and say, "Thank you, friend...... I was finally relieved. ”

Abner turned his head sharply when he heard this, only to find that except for Russell, the rest of Grimm, Edwards, and even Cullen, who had appeared in his form, were all stunned and motionless, and the space around them began to distort and deform, as if they were about to crumble.

"Hehe, 'Doctor Strange'...... In return for helping me to set me free, I can answer some of your questions...... You'd better hurry up and don't be in a daze...... I don't have much time. Russell's voice came again.

There's really something wrong with this Russell! What the hell is he? With this question, Abner froze, frowned and asked, "Your real Russell?" ”

"I'm Russell, but Russell isn't me...... I'm just a part of Him...... A very small part.

"And since entering this labyrinth, my memories have been blocked, and only the part of my youth has been retained, and I have been doing this expedition in Rune in a loop...... No one has ever been able to beat this scenario before you...... So I had to be erased over and over again and start over...... Memories of the past can only be remembered at the moment of the interloper's death, before the scene is about to restart...... But I suspect it's still incomplete. ”

Russell said with a complicated face.

"So...... A scene that is cleared won't restart? Abner asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, from the sixth floor onwards, each scene is unique, and once it is 'cleared', it will not appear again, so as to avoid later interlopers having ready-made 'strategies'...... Well, at least that's what I remember. Russell nodded.

That's really ...... Thoughtful! Abner twitched the corners of his mouth and hurried to ask, "Is there a blasphemy card in this tower?" The first layer still needs to be completely cleared to get it. ”

"You guessed it right...... But the highest authority is required......" Russell said this, suddenly covered his head, and said with some pain, "Friend, because of the mechanism of this tower, I can't reveal more at this level...... There is one thing I need to warn you of, though......"

"What's the matter?" Abner noticed that most of the space around him had collapsed, and hurriedly asked.

"There are no big problems from the second to the ninth floor...... But the first layer! The depths of the first layer are very terrifying things for the sealers! Be careful! Russell's tone suddenly became excited, and he kept emphasizing.

"What's hidden on the first floor?" Abner noticed that Russell's mood seemed to be becoming a little abnormal, and asked with a frown as he gave him a "reassurance".

But the "appeasement" did not seem to have worked on Russell, who continued to shout: "Don't go and get to know it!" Don't touch it! Don't look into it! ”

After his words fell, the unnatural emotion suddenly disappeared, and the Russell in front of him regained his composure again, and he said without any abnormality: "I used to be deeply entangled with it, so when I think of it, the whole person will become different." ”

Abner narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and asked calmly, "That's why Russell separated you and put you in this tower?" ”

"Maybe...... I don't know...... I don't remember. Russell shook his head with a wry smile.

At this time, the collapse of the space was almost complete, and even Russell's "spirit" was affected, and he said before disappearing: "Maybe you will meet a similar me in the 'tower'...... If you have any questions, you can continue to ask them.

"It's ...... Help from fellow countrymen...... Friend. ”

With that, he disappeared completely.

Seeing this, Abner did not hesitate any longer, and returned to the "Reward Room" at the last moment before the dream space was annihilated.

After entering the hall full of bookshelves, Abner did not rush to see his own "reward", but recalled the information that Russell had just revealed, and fell into deep thought:

Although I don't remember what specific reason Russell's temperament changed in his later years...... But it must have been tainted by some kind of knowledge that I had blocked......

When Russell was occasionally sober, he must have made efforts and attempts to clean up pollution...... So, the "thing" on the sixth layer that Russell said was sealed on the first layer, could it be some kind of pollution?

In addition to being a carrier for placing the "Blasphemy Plaque", this "Dream Labyrinth Tower" is also an experimental product for him to separate and seal his own "pollution"?

It's similar to the "Travels of Grossel" of the "Dragon of Fantasy"?

Just thinking about it, the tower instantly became terrifying...... Fortunately, that "thing" was sealed on the first layer...... And I'm still far from the first floor.

Thinking of this, Abner let out a sigh of relief and decided to put these headaches aside for a while, and instead sat down at the long table on the bookshelf, waiting for his reward.

Since he completed two tasks on the sixth floor, which belongs to the "PERFECT" level of playthrough evaluation, he has two rewards.

Soon, two books with very different styles appeared at his hands.

One book has a beautiful cover and snow-white paper, like a modern industrial print, while the other is old-fashioned, with parchment inside and a handwritten content.

Abner picked up the beautifully covered book first, glanced at it, and found that it was a biography of a person, called "Stewart's Memories".

Stewart? I remember that the Storm Church "Mystic Master" who formed a joint investigation team with Ms. Daly was called that...... Could it be his biography? Well, it could also be a duplicate name.

Intrigued, Abner flipped through and found that the protagonist was an orphan who had been adopted by the bishop of the Storm Church, had grown up in the church and became a priest as an adult.

He has an older sister who is a few years older than him, the biological daughter of his adoptive parents, whom Stewart has always admired.

The older sister was eventually married off by his adoptive parents to a deacon of the Storm Church, but was not happy due to her husband's temper......

Therefore, when Stuart became an extraordinary person in the future, he did not choose to be a "sailor", but became a more intelligent and rational "reader", he wanted to become a high-level through his own efforts, and use his wisdom to continuously improve the attitude of the Lord's believers towards women, so that they can also have more freedom and power like the female believers of the Night Church......

And the "reader" path seems to be very suitable for him, not only did it only take half a year to summarize the "acting method" by himself, but also repeatedly helped the "substitute punisher" to solve extraordinary cases, accumulate meritorious achievements, and become a "polymath" at the age of 22.

After that, he devoted himself to reading and studying at the headquarters of the Storm Church on the island of Passo, and at the same time used his profound knowledge to solve various problems of the families of church members, and gained a lot of support.

One day, after helping the family of a High Deacon solve a difficult problem, Stewart was rewarded with a broken potion recipe, which was the one of the Mystic Masters.

"Main material: the heart of an adult gem dragon, or the complete brain of the Phinx lion + ......"

"Auxiliary Materials: Ten ordinary leaves of the Treant Mentor, 80 ml + ...... of the blood of the Finkx Lion"
