The church itself is a building with a very complicated internal terrain, but thanks to the fact that most of the forks here are tightly blocked by tables, chairs, benches or other sundries, and Shade is almost sure that Joey Barton and Iluna Where to go, so even if he didn't see them, he still moved forward with a clear goal.
There are more ritual traces inside the church than last time, even without a light source, it is enough to reflect the corridor into gold. Most people are now defending against the undead, so Shade didn't see other ring warlocks all the way, but the sound of loud and clear hymns echoed in his ears all the time.
The hymns of the Natural Church tend to be folk songs. In the chorus part, people can even close their eyes and see the vast grasslands in the sun and the lush forests in summer.
Xia De didn't know what the singing meant at this time, but from the inside, the sealing ceremony was undoubtedly about to be completed.
The more you walk inward, the more you feel the corridor is skewed. The concept of death distorts the space, making the corridor distorted to a certain extent in the four directions of up, down, left, and right. And as the traces of the ceremony became more dense, Xia De finally saw the silver metal wire like a spider's silk across the corridor in front of him being broken by the impact, which showed that he did not go in the wrong direction.
He suddenly heard a voice behind him, turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man wearing square glasses and holding a sword in his hand, walking as if flying close to the ground. His age seemed to be a little older than Dr. Schneider's, close to the boundary between middle age and old age, and the golden aura permeating his whole body represented how many divine rituals he had been strengthened by.
Xia De recognized him, this is Mr. Lacon Mathis, the local twelve-ring magician of the Church of the Sun. Except for the thirteen ring warlocks of the Church of Nature who were originally stationed in this diocese, he is the strongest ring warlock in this diocese.
"No need to explain, I know they have come in, let's go."
Although the gentleman did not talk much, he acted quickly, so the two moved on together. Passing through the dense silver wires, and pulling away the metal charms shaking and making the sound of wind chimes above the head, the already thin white mist in the church is getting thinner and thinner, but at the same time the air is getting colder and colder. All surrounding items from the real world, even the golden miraculous aura itself, are slowly fading.
When they turned into the final corridor, the candle flames on the ground all turned into a deep blue-black, while the walls seemed to have experienced the baptism of thousands of years. But at least this is better than the last time I came here, because the engravings of the divine ritual on the wall are still shining with aura tenaciously.
The white mist receded completely here, and every time Shade and Mr. Lacon Mathis breathed out white mist. None of them spoke, and came to the end of the corridor in silence.
It was a square entrance connected to the ground, and from that entrance, a black wind was gradually blowing out.
An old man in a white robe was unconscious on the side of the entrance. This should be the high ring magician sent by the ring magician organization "Apna Library" mentioned by Iluna to help. Mr. Matisse checked and confirmed that he was just in a coma, then drew a circle around the old man with the long sword in his hand.
The golden light traces appeared in the circular notches, resisting the black wind blowing from the side, this is the unique magic of the Church of the Sun.
"The road below leads to the truest death. I'm going to find out what happened. Do you want to come with me?"
After finishing all this, Mr. Mattis asked Shad, who of course nodded. However, once he enters the passage below, the "divine afterglow" state on his body will be revealed.
Looking at the kerosene lamp hanging on his waist, Xia De had an idea. He motioned himself to go ahead, lifted the old-fashioned metal kerosene lamp, and walked down the thirteen steps carefully.
The whistling black wind kept blowing from the front of the underground passage, and countless whispers rang in my ears, which were the whispers and unwillingness of the dead at the end of their lives.
The cold wind blew towards Xia De, and the [Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace] hanging on his chest lit up first, and then, in the kerosene lamp that was held up high, the flames suddenly exploded , the blazing flame surged in the lampshade, illuminating the surroundings and protecting Xia De.
The "divine afterglow" state did not appear, and Chuhuo and the witch's necklace were enough to protect Xia De.
"Sure enough."
"What kind of flame is this?"
Even the twelve-ring magician who was following Xia De was protected by the flames, but seeing that Xia De was unwilling to answer, Mr. Mathis did not ask.
Shad walked in front, and Mr. Lacon Mathis of the Church of the Sun walked behind. The afterglow of the first fire dragged from the surface of the lantern held by Shad towards the rear. Magic power, more effective expulsion of death.
The nun said that [Primary Flame] was just an angel-level relic, and what Shade held was even just a cluster of small flames. This made him understand more deeply how powerful the flame that was said to come from before the first era was.
Stepping forward step by step, Xia De was holding the oil lamp directly and was protected by the witch's necklace, so although his body was stiff and his soul felt a little heavy, he could barely hold on.
But Mr. Lacan Matis couldn't hold it, so when the two walked out of that passage and came to the huge square underground space where the door of death stood, this gentleman had already revealed the life ring behind him .
Even so, he could only stop at the end of the passage, not daring to enter the square space in front of him.
But in this position, the door of death can already be seen. In the faint light of the first fire, the huge ancient stone gate is closed, and the stories related to death are depicted on it, describing the most fundamental meaning of death in this world.
The black wind blowing from the crack of the door was still weird and without any sound, as if everything in this world ended here.
But different from last time, this time, a huge phantom of the holy emblem was floating in front of that door. It was two overlapping leaves, one withered yellow and one green. The holy emblem was becoming clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black wind was gradually weakened as a result.
"Didn't you see them, Joey Barton and Iluna Bayas, after entering this door?"
Xia De couldn't believe the result, but Lacon Mathis immediately shook his head and made a difficult voice:
"The ceremony is nearly four-fifths completed. Although it is not completely completed, it is absolutely impossible for the door at the foot of the mountain to be opened from the inside and the outside."
"But Joey Barton is death's chosen one, and he can touch death itself."
Xia De said, looking at the door, there are traces of fighting and some footprints in front of the door:
"They may have actually gone in."
Xia De repeated, and the Twelve Ring Warlocks of the Church of the Sun fell silent for a moment:
"It's the best possible outcome."
"What?"
Xia De looked at him in disbelief, and Mr. Mathis immediately explained:
Valley paddle
Letting him in here just now was not only due to our negligence, but also because we knew that once he entered, he would not be able to get out. "
"And what about your chosen ones?"
"Iluna Bayas followed her into death is indeed an unexpected accident, but Bayas' fate will not end here, this is an oracle."
"Please speak carefully."
"Although the five great beings cannot descend at will, it is still no problem to bring her out, so don't worry about her."
Mr. Mattis looked at the door of death, and was forced to close his eyes and look away:
"Unless Joey Barton can perform a ceremony behind the door to become the Chosen One, he can already be considered dead.
Let's go, we are still needed outside. The prophets of the Prophet Association have already made divinations. In the end, there will be an undead aggregate that gathers thousands of undead. That will be the most difficult battle. Drive it into the narrow space, and the scar of the sacred tree will be completed. I think the fight needs to last until midnight, it's going to be a tough fight. "
"No."
Xia De shook his head slightly:
"I'm going in too."
He points to the ancient stone gate:
"Yes, into death."
"you"
Mr. Matisse looked at the masked stranger in the firelight:
"I need to remind you that the door has been blocked. Even if you are the thirteenth ring, it is impossible to go in."
"I have other options."
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment:
"Opening the door from the outside is easier than opening the door from the inside. Even if you can go in like Joey Barton, you, like him, will never get out until the scar of the holy tree expires."
"I will find a way by myself. Stepping into the door of death is tantamount to suicide, and now, both Joey Barton and Iluna Beas have committed suicide. I want to guarantee that the first one to come out is not Joey Barton .”
Mr. Matisse hesitated for a moment, frowning slightly:
"Sure enough, you also know. You are not a demon hunter, right? Although you look very strong, you have never used any thaumaturgy or conjuration other than swordsmanship and sunlight power, and you have not even manifested the ring of life. Not a Central Warlock at all."
"Yes, I am not a Central Warlock."
Shad is a low ring warlock.
"Are you the Godcaller?"
"Why do you think so?"
"It seems to be true. The ending of the Fort Midhill incident is really the best we can think of. Not only can Joey Barton be judged to be dead, but we even got close contact with you and let Yi Luna Bayas has judged your side."
Xia De shook his head:
"You are still needed outside, but my way is ahead. Sir, I am very glad to be able to cooperate with the church this time, and hope that you will be safe in the next battle."
Mr. Mattis nodded, as if he was relieved:
"Why are you obsessed with finding Joey Barton and the other chosen ones?"
"Do you think I'll answer?"
Xia De asked ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The latter was silent for a while, and took out a roll of parchment from his pocket:
"The unique thaumaturgy of the Church of the Sun [Heathon's Seal] learning method. Although this is very precious, it may not be a big deal to you with the thirteen rings. This is your reward for helping us guard the church. Welcome to have another chance Cooperation."
Xia De smiled:
"Then I'll take it."
Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Matisse, he walked all the way to the [Gate of Death]. This time, he didn't leave the relics and spell-casting materials on his body, because the last experience made him understand that the afterglow on his body was enough to protect personal items.
Without trying to push the door that is likely to be impossible to push now, Xia De held the [Night Watchman] in his right hand, and at the same time as the witch necklace on his chest flashed suddenly, he turned sideways and swung his sword forward with all his strength—
"The door of death!"
The long sword slashed into the air in the black wind, sparks splashed in the air. A pitch-black gap appeared with the slight sound of glass shattering, and the gap quickly expanded to a size large enough for Shad to pass through.
