Chapter 248: Kind-1
Stepping on the bridge, Gehr strangely felt that the bridge deck was not too hot, so he squatted down and touched the bridge deck made of some kind of black stone, which was a little cold and rough, and was not affected by the environment here.
Walking to the edge of the bridge and looking down, there is an endless abyss below, I don't know how deep the road is, I can only see the flickering red light, as if there is life breathing. When the red light is lit, there will be lines of flashing red light on the rock wall below, which seem to be some kind of rune array, and continue to spread along the rock wall to the top of the rock, and even reach a very close place under the bridge at the highest point, and when the red light is dim, these lines will also lose their luster accordingly, turning back into a dark stone wall, and the red lines are constantly receding downward, just like the ebb tide of the sea.
Glancing around, Gell picked up a stone about the size of a head, threw it down, and waited for several minutes without hearing a response.
At this time, Gehr noticed that there was something unusual in his hand.
Looking down, the long knife from "Blide" that he originally held in his hand and the rune sword Epheros he had just picked up began to slowly turn into black smoke, just like the corpse of the previous enemy, which quickly dissipated, leaving wisps of black smoke that flew towards the passage that Gehr had walked through before as if it were alive, until it disappeared into the shadow of the passage.
"Really deep, strange place. ”
Gehr frowned, withdrew his gaze, and walked directly towards the opposite side of the bridge.
The length of the bridge is about 200 meters, and at the end of the bridge is a metal gate about the size of the Aimenas Gate, embedded in the stone wall. There are also intricate patterns and unfamiliar runes on it, and on the patterns, Gehr can only see that it seems to depict a group of people and some monsters fighting. There is no other more information.
Walking forward, Gehr gently pressed his hand on the multi-meter-high man. On the metal gate, which looked very heavy, the cold sensation instantly spread from the palm of the hand to the brain.
Click......
Gehr's hand was only slightly forced, as if some kind of mechanism had been triggered, and immediately from the metal door came a sound similar to the rotation of gears, gradually getting louder and louder, from the initial subtle to the most resounding like a bell in just a few seconds, and at this time Gehr had taken a few steps back vigilantly, looking at the sudden changes in front of him.
Countless red lines appeared on the metal gate, and then golden-red flames emerged along the lines. Quickly spread to every part of the metal gate, the flames jumped and jumped, the golden-red light continued to twist on the metal gate, at this time the metal gate began to become transparent, as if it had become a phantom, as the burning became more and more transparent, just a moment's effort, the entire metal gate disappeared silently, revealing a wide golden square behind.
Gehr waited for a moment. After noticing that there were no other changes, he walked inside.
In the middle of the square is a magnificent stone palace, and the ground is covered with rune lines that glow red, like blooming flowers, spreading out from the center of the palace to the periphery.
After just looking around, Gehr continued towards the palace. Walking through the square and going up the steps, you can see the inside of the palace without a door.
The interior of the palace is set up like a large, empty church. The height of the room is more than 10 meters, and you can see the sky. The pointed dome shimmered with a misty light from nowhere, making the palace bright. The surrounding walls and the masonry on the ground are gray and white, which looks a little shabby compared to the material of the ground outside, and the murals on it have long been blurred.
There was no other miscellaneous object in the hall, except for a black sarcophagus in the center, on which more dense and complex patterns appeared than the outside.
"I've arrived, come out. ”
Gehr stood at the door of the palace, looking at the sarcophagus, if the owner of the voice calling for him was present, then it should be here.
At this moment, as if in response to Gehr's shout, the lines on the sarcophagus also lit up in vain, and the coffin board of the sarcophagus also moved slightly, and countless black smoke suddenly poured out from the narrow gap, entrenched on the sarcophagus, forming a constantly writhing spherical shape.
"Welcome, kind. A voice sounded in vain, giving people a very strange feeling, as if it was a mixture of countless voices, so that it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman, and could not even speak which language, but it could understand the meaning, and the sound was not transmitted through the vibration of the air, but directly sounded in Gehr's heart.
"It's nice to wake up and see one of your kind, but it looks like you're in a bad situation. ”
"Who are you?" Gehr stared at the black gas in the space that seemed to be bound by something on the sarcophagus, and he could feel the strong sense of threat and oppression brought to him inside, as if the other party should be on top of it, and he could only look up to the other party. Naturally, he used the lingua franca of everyday use, and he didn't know if the unknown creature could understand it, but he subconsciously felt that the other party should be able to understand it.
Sure enough, Gehr was not disappointed, and the strange voice soon sounded in his heart.
"If you're asking about identity, then according to the people here, they call me a Void Creature, but I prefer to call myself a Traveler, and if it's a name, it doesn't mean anything to you or me, but out of respect for this world, I've given myself a name, and I'm called Lusenova. By the way, as is customary here, the next sentence should be to ask your name, my young kind. ”
"My name is Griezmann. You summoned me, didn't you?How do you know that I'm your kind?And what is your purpose in coming to me?" asked three questions in a row.
"Summoning?" Luthernow's voice seemed to be a little confused, and he paused for a moment, as if to think, "Oh, I remember, yes, I summoned you, in fact, when I was asleep, I would send out unconscious mental fluctuations around me to ask for help, only my kind could receive it, and the fact that you could get here through the Lost Corridor undoubtedly confirmed your identity." As for the purpose, I naturally hope that you can help me get out of this prison that has besieged me for a long time. ”
"Then why should I help you?" asked Geer in a deep voice.
"Because I'll pay you enough, my young kind. ”
"Reward?" said Gehr, looking at the empty hall, expressing his suspicions with action.
"Don't look at it, I don't have anything that is equal to the human values of this world, in fact nothing means anything to me, my only treasure is knowledge, the knowledge accumulated from constantly traveling from world to world. ”
"How do you trade that?"
"It's simple, follow me. ”
With the sound, Gehr felt that his eyes were dark, and then he came to a strange space, pitch black, except for a crystal hanging in the sky, radiating like the sun.
Here Gehr is familiar, it is his soul space.
"Yes, this is your soul space, I think you will be relieved in that case, I am not one of those devourers, I am just a traveler, I hope we can have a friendly exchange. A figure appeared in front of Gehr, a man who looked exactly like him, looking like his brother, "Borrow your body image, I hope you don't care." ”
Gehr looked at the other party who was exactly like him, nodded, and a small round table and two sofas appeared in front of the two of them in a turn of his mind, which also confirmed that he did have absolute control over this space.
"You may be seated. ”
Gehr and Lusenova were seated.
After sitting down, Gehr raised his hand, and a wine bottle and two crystal goblets appeared on Zhuo Zai, and then he filled the two glasses and gave Lusenova a glass, and he raised the wine glass and shook it gently, and the rich fruity aroma that was no different from the real thing slowly escaped.
"You have a lot of doubts and doubts?" Lusenova looked at him quietly, shaking his glass in the same posture as Gehr.
"Of course, this is normal, what do you say?" Gehr looked back at the other party, and did not evade.
"Yes, then let me explain first, after all, solve your doubts before trading, by the way, no doubt, you can get here, you are my kind, in other words, you are also a void creature. ”
Gehr sat quietly, listening to Luthernois's words, thinking and analyzing.
According to Lusenova's words, the Void Creature is not a name for a creature, but a general term for the group of souls that exist in the Void, generally speaking, the creatures that have left the Origin Realm and exist in the Void can be called Void Creatures, no matter what the original race is, because in the Void there is only a soul or a collection of minds, and the body is only useful in the Realm of Life, and in the Void it is just a burden, and it cannot exist.
Of course, because of their different origins and ideas, the Void creatures are not a united and harmonious group, they also have fights and hatred for each other, and in general, the Void creatures can be roughly divided into three types.
The first type, the Devourer, is also a kind that is widely recognized by others, they are aggressive and cruel, and the purpose of their survival is to be strong, so they can devour their own kind, enter the Life World Realm to enslave the life born in the World Realm, absorb the origin of life in this World Realm, until this World Realm becomes a barren ruin, and then go to find the next Life Realm.
The second type of Lusenova calls them defenders, they have a relatively gentle temperament, and after finding the life world, they will try to integrate into this world, become a part of this world, and will protect this world, and they hate the devourer very much, once the two sides meet, it is a never-ending battle, it can be said that the two are natural mortal enemies.
The third type is the observer, which Lusenova says belongs to this kind. (To be continued......)
