Walking through the waterfall, a completely different scene is revealed.

The ground is charred black charcoal after the fire has been burned, and on top of it are huge boilers, and the flames burning on the base are somewhat similar to the flames that the black horse had ignited in the first place. Each boiler was boiling, the steam at the high temperature was slowly rising, and some kind of object wriggled on the roof of the space, a mass of black soft glue, which was accurately transported to their respective boilers one by one in the top layer of muscle-like motion, and then put into the boiler.

The silhouette of the creature's body and a screaming human face were clearly reflected in the writhing mass, and Ilya almost instantly remembered the net bag that had just been dragged.

As Hank said, there are no obstacles or surprises here, it is like an automated production factory, and every pre-arranged "machine" is doing its job seriously.

Occasionally, a cloud of molten slurry would fall to the ground from the boiler, and a small ball of molten slurry would fall from the sky and pass Hank as he walked.

Looking at the uncountable giant boiler, Ilya asked, "What is this?"

Hank: "I don't know, but it's almost certain that it's another guy's territory, and all of this stuff should be set up by it, if that's right, this guy will be easier to get along with than the big guy just now, at least the basic logic can still make sense." ”

Ilya wondered: "How do you feel so familiar with this place, you even know what is here, how many times have you been here?"

Hank: "I'm different from you, I have a good idea of my travel process and destination, and I can only avoid the danger of accidents after I understand it clearly. ”

"Cut. ”

Ilya obviously didn't think Hank was very powerful, but felt that the dark horse was hidden, but the gag with Hank was a little like this, and his emotions were eased, and he was not as nervous as before.

The two of them walked through the boiler pile, feeling that they had walked farther than the previous stone bridge without seeing any change in their vision.

Just as Ilya was about to ask again, the sound of something stirring came overhead.

Looking up, a boiler that was significantly larger than the other boilers was sitting on the right-hand side, and the large boiler seemed to be sitting around it...... Alone?

Compared to this big guy, the monster that just appeared in the molten can only be regarded as a "little fat man".

The object stirring the large boiler looked a bit like a giant on the outside, but its whole body was covered by a brown cloak, and even its face could not be seen clearly, it was leaning back against a large bone chair, holding a spoon in its hand and stirring something in the large boiler in front of it.

The leading dark horse turned around and led the two towards the giant. Coming to the giant's feet, the black horse raised his head and said the same type of language that he had used to talk to the monster just now, but the giant was very focused, and the black horse barked several times without attracting the other party's attention.

Finally the black horse shook off a ball of flame and fell on the giant's cloak, or felt a strange temperature, the giant leaned down, and anyone in the dark hood could feel two majestic eyes falling.

Only then did the dark horse and the giant begin to communicate officially.

Unlike the monster before him, the giant was obviously much more talkative, or rather uninterested in the two humans following the black horse, and after listening to the black horse's words, the giant pointed to his side with his left hand hidden in the cloak, and then returned to his state of serious agitation again.

Given directions, the two of them moved forward again.

There were no surprises along the way.

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than Elijah heard a familiar voice overhead, a wail of pain like a mesh bag.

The giant picked up the spoon, and there were small round holes in the back of the spoon, through which the molten slurry in the large boiler flowed back to the large boiler, and when all the molten slurry was exhausted, it revealed the same miserable condition as in the net bag of the monster, and the sound of wailing came from this.

However, due to the flow of molten slurry, the flesh and blood of people and creatures in the spoon were quickly restored until they were intact.

The giant observed it for a moment, shook his head, and seemed dissatisfied, and then, despite their pleas, soaked the spoon into the large boiler again and continued stirring.

Ilya couldn't stand it, she couldn't control her emotions and watched the giant stir while reaching out to take down those black lumps on top and adding them to the big boiler, the giant was like a chef who was very particular about taste, but this "dish" was too terrifying.

Ilya fixed her gaze in front of her, swallowed her saliva and said, "These...... What are they suffering over and over again?"

She couldn't find the right words to describe it for a moment.

Hank was silent and said, "Purgatory is also known as the cage of original sin, you know?"

Ilya nodded, she had seen it in ancient books.

"So they're all saddled with their own crimes?"

Hank: "Maybe, do you know how to define that?"

Ilya shook her head.

Hank: "I don't know, I don't know what criteria or on what basis they are ...... Crimes, and then how are they sent here to be tortured, and how long will this torture last, and what kind of existence can be done to condemn all living beings?"

It was one of the few things he didn't know.

Ilya didn't answer, she didn't have an answer, and there could be no answer, two completely different spaces before and after, but filled with the same thing.

That's fear.

......

...

The two of them, guided by the giant, were much quieter in the rest of the journey, the excitement of the dark horse's homeland revisiting had faded, Elijah was shocked twice and settled down a lot, and Hank knew that he was close to his destination, and became more and more cautious.

After walking for a while, there was a golden gate in front of the two of them, which was incompatible with this world, and even the road to the gate was carefully cared for, paved with white porcelain floor tiles, which was bright and reflective.

Hank paused and said, "That's our final destination." ”

Although this gate is the closest object to Ilya's living environment, it does not give Ilya a very good senses, and she feels that behind this seemingly normal and luxurious gate, there are more bad things hidden.

Hank: "Remember what I said to you earlier?"

Elijah: "Nagara's Throne?"

Hank: "That's right, the Old God's Throne is behind this door, and the next thing we're going to face is not the old man who led us in here with a face. ”

Ilya: "What could it be?"

Hank: "Remember when I first introduced the Throne and mentioned that the old god Nagaro had many followers?"

Ilya was stunned, and the impact she had experienced before made her ignore this.

Hank: "These followers are very compatible with Nagaro, otherwise they wouldn't have actively followed this brutal old god, so what we'll face next, you can probably guess." ”

Ilya nodded stiffly.

Hank: "Very well, then when you go in, remember not to leave the old man, it will protect you, I have to do some personal business next, and I probably won't care about your safety." ”

Ilya: "But...... Didn't you say that casting magic would lead to a ramp?"

Hank: "Don't worry, I'm measured, and everything comes with risks, doesn't it?"

He pretended to be relaxed and smiled, but Elijah could clearly see that Hank was not completely sure, or even fifty percent sure.

After finally having a clear understanding of the danger of this incident, Ilya really wondered why Hank would want to come to such a place, to be honest, even if there was some personal reason, even if he knew about it in advance, Ilya would never set foot here.

Ilya gritted her teeth and said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hank smiled, this time the smile was obviously more real, he said: "I have to be honest with you, in fact, my real hole card is not my old buddy, I also have other tricks, the real ultimate means of life-saving, so you can rest assured, and if there is any accident, it will be much easier for me to escape alone, you just need to follow the old buddy well, understand?"

Ilya wanted to say something, but in the end, she nodded and responded, with her strength, she really couldn't do anything in the dimensional space of purgatory, which was different from the human world.

Perhaps, I could try to use the bounty?

"Dispel this dangerous thought. This time it was Hank's turn to see through Elijah's thoughts, "I'm grateful if you want to help me, for this kind of relationship, you are willing to risk using the gift here, but to be honest, it's not that you look down on your strength, but with your current strength plus the gift bonus you have, it may not be of much use, so just stay and watch and treat this as a strange journey that is different from the past, okay?"

Speaking of which, Ilya can only dispel all his thoughts and follow the dark horse.

Not causing trouble for Hank may be the biggest help.

Seeing Ilya, who was completely convinced by himself, Hank was finally a little relieved.

It's also very good.,Properly teach this girl who is not afraid of heaven and earth what is terrible is a good thing,Look at the character of this girl to know that I haven't seen anything terrible.,Although the eye for seeing people and things is really shrewd.,But as long as it's a person.,It's inevitable to make mistakes.,Let her know in advance that there are still many things in this world that she can't imagine herself.,Maybe it will help her future journey.。

After solving his worries, Hank looked at the dark horse, without the jokes of the past, and nodded solemnly to the dark horse with serious eyes.

The dark horse stood up straight and solemnly replied, saying that he would take good care of the girl.

Hank took a deep breath and touched his chest as a way of encouragement as he began to walk towards the golden gate with the initial shelter he had received on his journey.
