Everyone was listening carefully to Thirteen's story when they were suddenly interrupted by the laughter of the coachman.

William also took the opportunity to open the front window, only to see that the driver had finished slicing meat and put on his costume.

"What's the laugh about this?" William asked.

The coachman replied calmly: "You are not the first person to get the recognition of the Tenth Abyss, many people have tried, and even some guys who have completed the path and are overconfident, such as me. ”

These words made William stunned, and he had been suspicious of the other party's identity from the beginning.

"As you can see, I have failed, and have become a permanent slave of the Tenth Abyss, putting on this unremovable "mask" and staying here to do things for the Abyss, dragging potential outsiders like you to the settlements.

Of course, no matter how many people I pull over, the result will not change.

As more and more people become slaves, the Darklands corresponding to the Tenth Abyss will grow stronger and stronger, even reaching the level of the Source Plague Zone and beginning a full-scale invasion of the Old World itself. ”

William didn't care what the groom said, "What do I need to do to get in touch with the Tenth Abyss?" ”

"Are you so eager to become a "driver" like me? However, you have not completed the pathway yet, and you may be offered a lower position than me.

The way to reach the Abyss is simple, when you arrive at the Settlement of the Abyssal People, there is only one last stretch left before the Tenth Abyss.

However, not everyone can embark on this path, and there is a prerequisite that must be met.

A large number of outsiders wander the settlement, trying to meet this condition every day...... "condensation". ”

"Noodles?"

When he heard this word, William immediately thought of the abyssal substance that had condensed on his face when he first met the City Lord of Price in the Darkmoon Tower.

The coachman also explained happily:

"After an individual chooses to accept the [Tenth Abyss], disordered abyssal matter will grow wildly in the body and 'reproduce' one of the most prominent characteristics of the individual, and this change will often start in the lower body.

I'm sure you've seen some guys with mutated lower body shapes, with various fingers, organs, or hair stacked on top of each other in disorder.

When the whole body is changed, the individual will lose its original attributes and become a "deep citizen".

The "mouths" you kill are a very common type of abyssal people, they are numerous and spread throughout the Darkest Lands, and any outsider who is devoured will be randomly teleported out of another mouth.

These abyssives are the lowest, because they have never been able to control the abyss.

However, if the individual can effectively suppress the abyss in the process of the abyssal invasion without clearing the abyss, and prevent the abyss's replication of the body, another situation will occur.

The abyssal substance will reach the head and seep out along the facial features, replicating itself according to the 'genetic fragments' collected and uniting with you in the form of a mask.

This is called "condensation".

Only those who condense their faces are qualified to embark on the "pilgrimage road" behind the gathering. ”

"So, the state that the City Lord of Price was in before was the condensation?"

The coachman responded, "Yes, you can see it from the scars of his skull."

It's quite an exaggeration, someone can tear off the mask of the abyss that is completely rooted with their bare hands...... Rather than believing you as a young man, I prefer to believe that your friend has a 1% chance of getting the approval of the abyss if he doesn't tear off his mask. ”

"Not interested."

Price said very bluntly that his only interest was only in the moon, and this pitch-black and extreme abyss was even more contrary to the moon.

William listened more and more, "What is the road to the pilgrimage?" ”

"Meet the last leg of the abyss, walk the whole way in the manner of a pilgrimage to reach the location of the tenth abyss, and you will know exactly how to make the pilgrimage when you arrive at the settlement and complete the condensation.

The tour will be more difficult than the condensation, a large number of pilgrims fell on the road, and my tour was only 3/4 of the way completed.

Even if there is a true all-round powerhouse to complete the tour, one last "Audience" is still required.

When the true nature of the Tenth Abyss is revealed, no one will be able to calm down, and the audience will be declared a failure.

However, individuals who are able to complete the pilgrimage will be appreciated by the Abyss, and even if they fail during the Visit, they will be given a higher position and become the "Abyss Emissary".

You don't need to drive around like I do every day, just be responsible for executing those who don't follow the rules in the dark, quite a leisurely and fun errand. ”

"Contemplation, pilgrimage and pilgrimage...... All three processes are done, right? ”

"Haha~ It's really easy to say...... So far, no one has done all three things, so it is not known if there will be any other events after the audience. ”

"Thank you."

"It's just my job, and I'm supposed to be telling you about the process as a driver. If you complete the dough and fail on the pilgrimage and become one of us, I'll get a 'commission'. ”

William showed a professional smirk, "It's good~ By the way, one more thing, since the tour can only be carried out by the condenser, my group of friends can't accompany me, right?" ”

"These two Noble Knights are definitely not good, but I can't judge the candle puppet. If she is fully defined as a prop, she can also carry it.

However, I personally recommend not bringing anything that can emit light, the so-called pilgrimage requires absolute piety, and since you have chosen to accept the abyss, take the initiative to embrace the darkness here. ”

"Got it, so my friends should be free to explore other areas while I'm on a tour, right?"

"Yes...... However, due to their refusal to go to the Abyss, wandering outside will be seen as an intruder and will be attacked by the Abyssal people. ”

"Got it."

Closing the front window, William had a rough plan in mind.

"Kim."

"What?"

"I'll do the things of condensing noodles and pilgrimage alone, you and Price will either wait for me in the settlement in the future, or explore the Extremely Dark Land on your own, don't follow me to condense noodles."

Jin directly reached out and patted William's shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't do such a dangerous thing...... Besides, I don't have that much need for the abyss yet. Compared with the malignant disease corresponding to the abyss, I am looking forward to searching for the treasures left over from that war in this dark space. ”

William then looked at the silver-armored ratman sitting opposite, "Price, what about you?" ”

"I don't care, it's okay to explore with Miss Jin."

"That's good...... When the time comes, put on Thirteen, and the light she provides will save you from the dark stress of exploring. ”

Hearing this, Thirteen's heart suddenly tightened, "Teacher! ”

"The coachman also said just now, you need to be religious...... And, even if there is danger to drive out the darkness, Little Grape can do it. ”

Thirteen was still reassured, she knew very well how dangerous the abyss was as a candle puppet, and her mission was to accompany her teacher to the abyss.

At this moment, an armored arm wrapped around her shoulder, "I obviously call William a teacher, but I don't know anything about him...... Come with us, don't bother your teacher.

Also, what you just explained was very good, and I like you quite a bit now. ”

Thirteen was suddenly praised by Jin and hugged her shoulders so intimately, she immediately tightened her skirt...... She didn't reject the Tumor Knight, because Thirteen had already seen that the woman named Kim was the teacher's best friend, and maybe even had a deeper relationship.

"Okay~ Okay, Lord Knight."

"I'm pretty shy~"

Jin pushed his helmet slightly, and a pink tongue immediately drilled out and licked at Thirteen's eyeholes, tasting the smell of wax oil.

Thirteen was overwhelmed by such an action, and the tingling sensation in her eyes made her whole body rattle.

"Follow me later, I'll be able to see that your function is not limited to lighting...... Your body structure is very special, and you must be very good at killing. ”

"Know...... Got it,"
