Chapter VI Selection

The bloody patterns painted on the gate are terrifying and evil, some blurry, some clear, all exuding a cold and dark atmosphere.

Those hazy patterns seem to be shrouded in invisible and hazy things, which are not real and full of evil feelings!

Hodge forced his emotions to steady himself and set his eyes on five of the doors where the patterns could be seen clearly.

A large door on the far left with a motif of a white bone wine cup pouring red blood.

This was followed by a strange and rotten giant axe, a shriveled and emaciated mummy-like palm, a guqin made of humanoid ribs, and a magic bottle that gushed dark green venom.

"Is this the secret hidden by the Silver Key?"

"This is also part of my crossing special?"

"Looking at the mottled and decaying symbolic imprints on it, it should be from the history before the Fourth Age, that is, BC, or even longer."

Hodge muttered softly, silently thinking in his heart.

In the past year, in addition to learning the mysterious language [Ancient Raymond German], Hodge has also selectively studied a part of history, including the origin of the Salom Empire, as well as the history of continental mythology and so on.

When Hodge first crossed over, he was full of unknowns, confusion, and fear about this world, because in this world, the moon in the sky is a scarlet red moon, and the language, living habits, and eating habits are completely different from the previous life.

This world, divided into three continents, east, south and north, at the end of the north continent, is a 10,000-year-old frozen snow-capped mountain, the further north you sail, the colder the weather, the more violent the ocean, extremely dangerous, according to the adventurer who arrived in the north continent by luck and returned safely, in the north continent, there is a country established by the descendants of elves.

The Salom Empire, where Hodge is located, belongs to the Southern Continent, is the most powerful country in the Southern Continent, has the support of the three major churches, has a large number of magicians, knights, and priesthoods, controls most of the area of the Southern Continent, and is the most developed country in planting, industry, and textiles.

The only country on the southern continent that can compete is the United Empire of Hob, a country founded by nomads on the plains.

As for the Eastern Continent, in recent years, the newly built magical steam hybrid ship by the Holy See of Mechanics has explored a large new area through the dangerous routes of the Crazy Sea, because that continent has not yet been developed, it has huge resources and benefits, attracting many adventurers to go to that continent through the route, looking for opportunities to make a fortune.

Because of the relationship between the Eastern Continent, there are also many rich people who have become rich overnight in the empire.

"As for the historical ...... of this world"

"According to known documents, there have been about three epochs of human beings from the birth of mankind to the present, but in fact, some historians have put forward the hypothesis of five epochs after analysis, which has been supported by many academic researchers."

"The first and second ages are basically mythological stories, like the familiar elves, immortal birds, giants, dwarves, dragons, werewolves, and blood clans, all of which have appeared, and many stories have been handed down, and many alien races have ascended to the throne and achieved true gods."

"The Third Age, the earliest recorded era of mankind, ended with the establishment of the first empire of mankind, Alexander's Empire."

"From the beginning of the Second Age, human beings began to sing a one-man show, occupied the tide of the times, became the most powerful race, conquered the east and west, established empires one after another, created one history after another, ebb and flow, times changed, and finally the fourth era ended, and came to the fifth age, which is the era I live in now."

"Hey, if you are from the history department in this world, maybe you can know what the mottled special symbols near the pattern mean......

Hodge muttered as he looked at the mottled symbols on the sides of the five gates.

In this world, schools are a product of the era, just popularized, so that the children of citizens and commoners can go to school, and Hodge, as the son of the marquis, if he goes, will naturally go to an aristocratic school.

But Hodge doesn't like to be constrained, so he has always resisted going to school, and Hodge, who has crossed over, has also experienced the devastation of the reading era, and has no interest in the history and knowledge of this country at all, so naturally he will not go to school.

"Now it seems that whether in the original world or in this world, reading is still ......useful," Hodge sighed heartily, and tears from the scum of his heart silently flowed.

Hodge calmed down again, gathered his divergent thoughts, and looked at the doors again: "Which one should I open?" ”

Hodge didn't know, what would happen when the door was opened?

I don't know how he can get out of this place?

But what is obvious is that since the silver and white key has sucked itself into this place and put out thirteen gates for him to choose, he must have a chance to leave here only after he has chosen.

"Of the thirteen gates, only five can be seen clearly, that is, you have to choose from the five gates."

"Suppose that behind these five gates, there are corresponding items hidden."

"And the items behind the gate, I can control, that's part of my goldfinger ability?"

"So which item is more useful to me now?"

Hodge looked at the five evil gates in front of him and made a bold assumption in his heart.

A bone goblet poured with red blood?

A weird and rotten axe?

Shriveled and emaciated mummy-like palms?

A guqin made up of humanoid ribs?

A bottle that keeps pouring dark green venom?

Hodge looked at the five item patterns, the first one excluded the mummy-like palm, he heard his father Marquis Bach say that in this world, there are many weird cults, there are many evil promotion methods, and there are also many precedents for degenerating into monsters because they can't control the crazy and evil power of other races in their bodies, and after death, extraordinary characteristics are infected and mutated by unknowns, and they are transformed into evil items.

Therefore, in Hodge's opinion at this moment, this mummy-shaped palm is most likely this kind of thing.

Evil items still inherit some of the monster's powers, but have terrifying side effects.

The side effects of many evil items are depravity, pollution, and even direct devouring of the user.

"With my body that hasn't taken potions yet, I'm afraid I can't bear these things, right?"

In fact, as early as when he saw these items, Hodge knew that these things hidden behind the gate must be special items full of evil and madness, but he didn't have a choice.

At this moment, he must choose to open a door.

Because he had determined that he could not get out of this place without making a choice.
