Director Cornelius walked in front of him, leading Ivas and Bayard to the end of the secret passage.

- In fact, as the director, he personally took Miss Bayard through the secret passage, which can also be regarded as a kind of sincerity.

Although we are both children of the moon and have a close working relationship, it is possible that the Arc Moon Manor will continue to borrow money from Miss Bayard in the future. But in this dark corner where no one knows and can't call for help, they just cram people into it...... Sounds too dangerous.

Whatever traps, rituals, seals, or ambushes along the way can be fatal. And the space here is so cramped, if you really want to fight, you don't even have room to dodge.

"Is there only one secret passage?"

Feeling Ivus's fingertips scratching lightly in the palm of her hand, Miss Bayard asked, "The passage is so narrow here...... What if we were walking and someone happened to be coming from outside? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. We'll expand it later. ”

Director Cornelius shrugged, "Too much secret passage cultivation is not necessarily a good thing. We can't regulate as many entrances and exits at the same time, which only makes the manor less secure. No more, no less, one is enough - not that many people usually use it here anyway. If you have too many people to block it, you can turn into a bat, you say? ”

"Yes."

Miss Bayard nodded in response.

Her sharp nails scraped Eivus's palm, signaling that she had confirmed that there was only one secret passage.

"And if you go out from here......"

Director Cornelius reached out and pressed the runes on the wall.

As he moved, three overlapping rings of white, yellow, and black gradually appeared. And the place where the two intersect is filled with a blood-like red. In the middle is the rune on the wall, which means "secret".

"Wind, earth, and darkness, inject the same proportion of three kinds of mana, and you can open this secret door. A total of three units of mana are infused at the same time...... This is also a simple form of authentication. ”

Cornelius smiled, "But as long as it's the child of the moon, it should be able to open." If you want to return to the banquet, you can also go back here. The other end also uses runes to open the door. ”

The Children of the Moon are a race and a transcendent profession.

As the darling of the Constant Self, this class has a pool of mana with three attributes at the same time - the wind that represents change, the soil that represents the tomb, and the darkness that represents the curse. This is also the all-powerful and changeable ability of the child of the moon.

Whether it is the ability to turn into a bat, change one's appearance, or manipulate others through "enchantment", it is all driven by the mana of the wind attribute; The soil from their homeland strengthens the power of the Children of the Moon, who are reborn from ashes when they die, and then reborn from the ashes in a way that is similar to that of the undead; As for the dark attributes, it has to do with their abilities such as curses and corrosion.

…… Wait a minute.

Ehuas's pupils shrank slightly.

She reacted suddenly.

…… It's a good thing I didn't believe the ghost quest prompt, Ivas thought to himself.

She knew that the crescent moon ceremony could not have a proper "cooperative mission".

If they enter the secret passage, they will find that they cannot open the door at all.

Although there must be people with these three attributes of mana among them, it was three people.

It is absolutely impossible for three untrained people to inject exactly the same mana "at the same time". Not to mention that they have little mana, and there are very few opportunities for trial and error.

If you want to forcibly crack this secret door, you have to use blood.

Infuse the blood with mana, then mix them together proportionally and apply it to the runes...... This will also open the door.

But the problem is that most of them have just been sucked blood by the time they get here. If they give more mana and blood, it is not impossible to even faint directly - they don't have a magic storage medium such as Yan Jing at hand, and there is not much mana in pure blood, so they need a lot of blood.

So they certainly don't want to.

But it's different if you die—no matter how much mana you have while you're alive, when you die, the pool of mana itself will be precipitated into your blood and internal organs. Anything above 10 points will go to the internal organs, brain and bone marrow, and up to 10 points can remain in the blood.

Number 14 has a maximum of three dark attribute mana in her body, so after she is killed, one unit of dark attribute mana is contained in one-third of the remaining blood. The same goes for others.

Find people with dark attributes, wind attributes, and earth attributes and kill them, mix their blood and splash it on the runes, and you can get three points of mana injected at the same time, one-to-one.

In other words, even if they reach a cooperation. Then when you get to this door, you may not know how to open it. There is a high probability that only a mage of the path of wisdom, or a transcendent person of the path of love, can understand this rune.

Then they would have to kill two or three people to open the door - if there was a mage of wisdom as a sacrifice, they could kill one less, after all, he alone could provide both wind and earth mana.

And if they regret it and go back the way they came, they will find that the other side is also closed.

- Or do you need to kill someone to open the door.

If there were less than three people here, they wouldn't even be able to open the door, so they would have to die here quietly waiting for time to pass. And this is a long time of more than ten hours...... Enough to make some of them repent, or wait for a newcomer who has been tricked into the secret passage by the quest, and then upset the balance.

"The task given by the twin mirrors is so ruthless......"

Ivas had some heart palpitations.

Fortunately, she didn't have any luck, and gave up the possibility of "loving each other" from the very beginning.

The last crescent moon ritual wasn't so naked...... Of course, it may also be too naked, but it makes Ivus feel very fair. In short, killing everyone is victory, very knightly.

And this time, she finally felt what it means to be a "bloody ritual".

Lies, deception, betrayal......

- Unlike the Full Moon Ceremony, the New Moon Ceremony symbolizes the departure and confrontation of the Nine Great Roads.

Sure enough, we still have to regard each other as enemies......

Her mindset changed slightly.

As Ivas thought so, the red of all three eyes filled at the same time.

The sealed door finally appeared—a door of light suddenly appeared at the end of what had been a dead end.

This is not a long-distance portal, but a door hidden by the preservator with the concept of "tomb" using the soul as a material. As Ivus passed through it, he felt a strong sense of coldness...... It's like walking through a mass grave at night in single clothes.

Through this door, they did not reach any dimly lit cave or cavernous labyrinth.

Instead, he entered a secret room with a heavy curtain covering all the windows, and no light was seen.

The building is made of wood, with a faint aroma of essential oils in the air, apparently from a recent ceremony.

"This is ......"

Bayard felt a little familiar.

"This is Teresa Monastery."

Director Cornelius had his hands behind his back, his back straight, his expression calm.

He earnestly introduced: "The secret order dedicated to Mother Sasha. Surely you've been here too—when you're just a child of the moon, you're usually brought here to spend your first irrational period. ”

"Teresa Monastery ......"

Ivas also muttered, his eyes shining.

"So it's here......"

"Are you interested in Sister Sasha too?"

Bayard was a little surprised.

It is rare to see humans interested in Sister Sasha.

Ivus nodded vigorously: "Yes, I'm very interested!" ”

- Because this is a place to fix your equipment.
