The latest website: "Unfortunately, the only special coin left is the blood money in my hand."
Xia De reminded.
"It's okay, I made a great contribution this time. It should be no problem to apply for the relic from the church."
Iluna said happily.
After that, the three of them headed to the basement. Xia De first put all the relics transported this time back behind the hidden wall in the basement. As for the harvest of ordinary items, that is, the [Future Man] card made of unknown metal, after Luvia's inspection, it was confirmed that it was indeed an ordinary item, and it was caught by Shade in Miss Fei Lianna's hand. In the notebook, use it as a bookmark.
In the circular space behind the hidden wall, after determining the place where the ancient **** of space [primordial rift] stands, and unable to put down the door, Xia De officially determined the location of the door leading to the [dark dungeon].
The entrance to the basement is behind the stairs on the first floor, the steps are on the west side of the basement, and the hidden wall is on the opposite east side. At this time, Xia De was standing in front of the north wall of the basement with [Initiation·Darkness]. Under the watchful eyes of the cat on his shoulder and the two girls beside him, he threw the cards into the air.
The newly installed gas lamps were very bright, but under this light, the cards did not fall under the influence of gravity, but instead floated towards the wall in front of them until the backs of the cards were completely attached to the wall.
Xia De stretched out his finger and pointed at the face of the card, and at the same time said softly:
"dark!"
Strange halos radiated from the surface of the cards as his fingertips touched the cards. At the same time, thin white mist drifted out from the gap where the back of the card was in contact with the wall, climbing along the wall.
Xia De took [Initiation·Darkness] away from the wall, but the white mist did not disappear, but became more and more dense, until it completely turned into a white mist door that could not see the wall behind. A few seconds later, because no one entered, the white mist disappeared and the wall returned to normal.
"No problem, now this is the entrance to the space [Dark Dungeon] left by the ancient **** [Crouching Darkness]."
Xia De patted the wall, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Unlike normal entrances, entering this door does not require a [dark] spirit rune, you just need to put your hand on the wall and chant the mantra. The mantra is like this—"
Xia De coughed:
"May the darkness bless me in the shadows."
White mist appeared between the palm and the wall again, and a white mist door was formed.
Leaving Mia outside, the three of them walked in together, and there was indeed a space completely shrouded in white mist behind the white mist door.
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "Dark Dungeon". 】
"Take a step here, and you can enter the [Dark Dungeon]. It is a special area with an almost infinite area opened up by the great, and it can even be called the 'Shadow Realm' directly. The shadow of any creature other than gods in the form of saints."
Shade recalled the information he got from the blade, stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, and the mist wrapped around his hand:
"The correct entry condition is to find the location of the door and possess [Darkness]. The correct way to use it requires a relic called 'Black Robe Fragment'. But because of the particularity of this door, we don't need it."
Luvia looked around curiously. Iluna had entered the [Judger's Court], and Shade had experienced many similar places. Only she came to the white mist for the first time:
"What's the use here?"
"Under normal circumstances, we can only see our own shadow through the dungeon."
Following Xia De's words, the surrounding white mist dissipated slightly, and three more bronze trapdoors appeared on the ground. On the trapdoor, the names of the three of them are written in the common language of Delarion, which is easy to distinguish.
"Because we entered together, we can see everyone's dungeon, but in fact, we can only open the door that belongs to us."
"Our shadow? In the dungeon behind the door, is there another us?"
Iluna asked curiously, and only Xia De, who knew the information of [Dark Dungeon] through the father of the infinite tree, could give such detailed knowledge.
Their "other me" is far less convenient than the voice in Xia De's ear. Even if they enter here, they can only know that this is the [Dark Dungeon], and they don't know anything else.
"No no, you can think of it as... well... it's hard to describe, it's probably like us in the mirror. It's exactly the same, but it doesn't really exist."
Xia De explained that Iluna still didn't understand, but Luvia showed a clear expression:
"We are recorded by darkness."
"That's almost what it means. Going to the depths of the dungeon to face yourself, talk to yourself or even fight with yourself, can help people who enter here see themselves better, and help them learn certain thaumaturgy that requires a strong heart. But in the end The important thing is that even a ring warlock who is out of control can gradually get better from the process of losing control as long as he has not completely lost his mind and meets himself in the dungeon."
"Multiple usable reversals out of control? That's funny."
Luvia commented.
In fact, this is not interesting anymore. Among the three spaces that Shade can fully use at present, that is, the time corridor, the space maze, and the dark dungeon, the role of the dark dungeon that reverses the out-of-control state can be ranked second.
"Of course, it's just seeing yourself. In the case of mastering someone's hair, blood, part of his soul and real name, you can also open someone's dungeon. Talk to him for information, or defeat him and get part of his memory Even thaumaturgy and spells are possible. But if you do this, you will also inherit the negative emotions of the other party. This kind of impact is very large. Generally, it is not worth doing it for power."
"It sounds like the dungeon left by the ancient gods is like a specimen room in the dark, recording all the specimens of life that have appeared."
Iluna gave an inappropriate example, but frowned suspiciously:
"However, I seem to have heard of similar places."
"What?"
Both Xia De and Luvia looked at her, and Iluna smiled embarrassedly:
"When I was training in the Holy See, I heard the old priests talk about [Church of Dawn], that is, the situation of [Church of Light and Darkness]. I seem to have heard such a saying that [Church of Dawn] is in control The normal way of a warlock, but the conditions are very strict, and if there is no specific spirit rune, a complicated ceremony is required."
Luvia suddenly understood:
"Xia De said that the [Blood Spirit School] has almost found the [Creation Delivery Room]. Therefore, the space left by the thirteen ancient gods does not have to be discovered with the appearance of the chosen ones. Those organizations that inherit the ancient ring magicians, Perhaps some of them have been mastered... Speaking of which, the Prophet Association seems to have a strange saying."
Luvia frowned slightly, not knowing what to think of. And Xia De thought more, he confirmed some time ago that most of the power of the old gods comes from the departed ancient gods. Then the power of righteous gods may also come from ancient gods. Therefore, [Mr. Dawn], that is, the [God of Light and Darkness] most likely inherited the power of the ancient **** [Crouching Darkness], so the church can enter the [Dark Dungeon].
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the priesthood of the five righteous gods can all correspond to the main priesthood of the ancient gods.
"About this place, that's pretty much it. We don't have anyone we want to meet right now, why don't we meet ourselves, maybe we'll gain something. The time here is synchronized with the outside, and there is a door deep in the dungeon to leave."
Xia De said to the two girls, and then squatted down first, trying to open the door with his name engraved on it.
But he didn't expect that just as he held the handle with his hand, the door actually collapsed into gray dust in the white mist.
He stared dumbfounded at the only metal doorknob left in his hand, and then the doorknob also turned into dust little by little, dissipating in the white mist.
"How do you feel that if anything happens to you unexpectedly, I won't be surprised?"
Luvia smiled and said, she squatted down and opened her door. There was a deep staircase under the trap door. Although the white mist drifted down, it was not as thick as the ground, so you could see some murals carved on both sides of the wall, which seemed to be a Woman holds a baby.
Iluna also opened her door, and there was also a deep staircase below. The mural next to the door was also a woman holding a baby.
"Look, we're all normal."
Said the seventeen-year-old girl.
"Hmm... Ladies, who would like to give me some hair and blood? I want to go down and have a look too."
He looked at Luvia, who smiled:
"Shad, don't even think about it."
He looked at Iluna again, who shook his head slightly:
"That's not okay, Shad, girls always have their own secrets."
They all went down their own dark stairs, the trapdoor closing behind them. Shad could not get close to the two trapdoors, only to watch them melt into the mist.
"Really, how did my door collapse?"
He was very dissatisfied.
[Probably related to your use of divinity. 】
Her voice whispered.
"It is indeed possible."
Xia De looked at the white mist in front of him:
"Compared with time, space, balance, and the white mist left by the witch, the role here is equally interesting. The self in the dark, the specimen room of mortal things, the dungeon... I think you should have some additional information there Bar?"
[Outlander, when you touch the doorknob, you get additional information. 】
[Sacrifice a drop of divinity, and get a chance to go deep into the dungeon once a month. 】
[Sacrifice a powerful soul stained with darkness, and get a chance to go deep into the dungeon. 】
Xia De didn't know what a "powerful soul" was, but soul trading was strictly prohibited. Regardless of whether it is in the black market, colleges or any other means, once the transaction of souls is discovered, the church has unlimited law enforcement and killing power.
Moreover, in the ring magician system of the Sixth Epoch, there are quite a few thaumaturgy and spells that simply use the soul, and this is something that can't be bought even if you want to.
"However, what's the chance of going deep into the dungeon?"
[The dark dungeon is composed of a vast space, and under normal circumstances, only the shallow layer of the dungeon is entered. Deep in the dungeon, something terrible is being held. Those demons of the third era, demons older than that, monsters that only exist in the warp, and shadows of unknowable humanoid relics are all deeper. In addition, there are some secrets of the ancient era buried in the deeper layers of the dungeon. After each sacrifice, you have three hours to explore. Knowledge, power, relics, wealth, as long as they come out alive, they will definitely gain something. 】
"Dungeon exploration? Ancient demons? Sounds very dangerous."
Xia De said, looked left and right, then took a step back, walked out of the wall and returned to his basement:
"Sacrificing other people's souls, this kind of thing, no matter how I hear it, I can't do it...unless I really meet bad people."
He picked up the cat that was sniffing around on the ground:
"I don't know if [Church of Dawn] will do this... Oh, the church only knows about the sacrifice of divinity at most, and will not get the information about the sacrifice of dark souls~www.mtlnovel.com~ However, God Sex can actually be explored once a month... If there are lucky people who really open the [Dark Dungeon] once a month under very accidental circumstances, it will be very interesting.
Right, Mia? "
She chuckled again for some reason.
Holding the lazy cat out of the basement, but when standing on the steps, Xia De suddenly turned his head to look at the wall of the basement:
"According to this trend, there won't be more and more 'doors' at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, right?"
No one answered his question.
"However, fortunately, my house is big enough. Even if there are really thirteen, ahem, twelve doors, it is completely enough to accommodate."
Thinking in his heart, Xia De left the basement to close the window, and it seemed to be raining outside. But when closing the window, he was careful not to stand at the window for fear of being struck by lightning.
