Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 262: Scales of soul

[Poisonous Hand] Gizella looked at the quaint bronze gate in front of her, with a suspicious expression in her expression, and stopped the pursuit.

Although the door was still open with a gap as wide as one person, she did not dare to rush in.

When I fixed my eyes, it was dark and sticky like ink, as if I had sucked my eyes in. But at this glance, visual perception did not feed back any useful information to the brain, as if seeing a piece of "nothingness."

Gizella took out a flare and ignited it, and threw it into the crack of the door, only to find that the incendiary bomb that burned with strong light seemed to pass through a dark barrier, and suddenly disappeared from his vision.

"Is there a magic ban?"

Seeing this scene, Jize frowned, he hesitated even more, with a faint feeling of palpitations.

Intuition told her that after rushing into this bronze door, her life would be in danger!

Various signs indicate that the "mysterious man" who snatched the Holy Grail just now acted premeditatedly. She guessed that there was an ambush behind this door, 80%!

......

At the moment when Gizela stopped, the members of the Rosas family also carefully avoided the poisonous mist and rushed over the hall.

Those who can catch up to the bronze gate in the first time are mostly second-tier and third-tier masters. But they looked at the dark gate in front of them, and no one dared to break in.

They had already learned about the danger of this underground palace, no matter whether the kobold or these poisons...

Not to mention what new monsters will appear behind this bronze door, even if they encounter those mazes on the previous level, they will be trapped alive.

At the moment, obviously there are more important things.

At this moment, the second wave of helpers arrived.

Several guards carried the black-faced young George and ran over in a panic.

"Master Gizera, it's not good! Master George was poisoned. We injected him with a powerful antidote, but it was of little use. Please help him!"

"..."

Gizella frowned as she looked at George Elder who was so angry.

Young George was so badly injured that she couldn't allow her to be distracted by what was behind the bronze door, so she turned her mind back.

She didn't dare to delay, walked over by herself and checked it carefully.

Don't guess the reason for George's poisoning, it was that the "mysterious man" was brought to the rainbow poisonous fog area and inhaled the toxin.

"Rainbow toxin" is not a single biological toxin, but many kinds. Nerves, sepsis, frost, corrosion, paralysis...Various poisons have been spitting out for countless years. It is a very complex mixture of toxins.

This kind of compound toxin, the general antidote is useless at all.

There are also many kinds of detoxification agents. Generally, one agent only targets a single toxin.

Even the most advanced antidote on the market can detoxify up to three or five mixed toxins. After taking a sip of this rainbow poisonous mist, Gizella could distinguish at least more than twenty types of toxins.

This compound poisonous injury, changing to another doctor, may really be helpless. The world of toxic episodes is too short to leave a life-saving event.

If the two third-order priesthoods were not casting spells to renew his life, this guy would have died just now.

But for Gizera, a poison expert, the problem is not big.

Instinctively, she wanted to get some antidote from the storage ring. But when I touched it, I found that the sky above my finger was empty, and it was even more mad.

That guy also lied to his storage ring!

Thinking of this, Gizella's face was pale, but did not dare to hesitate. She cut a knife directly on George's wrist, released some pus and blood, and then cast a spell to guide the toxin out...

.......

A quarter of an hour later.

George's dark face finally returned to his normal flesh color.

Gizella stopped and said blankly: "Master George's toxin is no longer a serious problem."

Hearing these words, the senior members of the Rosas family were relieved.

"Thank you, Master Gizela."

The guards did not dare to keep George in the underground palace, carried them on a stretcher, and planned to go to the ground camp for training.

At this time, people were saved, and everyone turned their eyes to the bronze door.

They had sent two hundred-man teams into the gate just now, but so far, there has been no news.

Without a lively mouth, the "magic mark" is completely insensible.

It's like disappearing completely.

This made the Rozas family even more panic.

Thinking about it, but didn't know what danger was hidden in the darkness.

"We...what are we going to do now?"

"If I guessed correctly, the third floor of this ruin is probably the real treasure. I must find a way to go down there. Besides, the assassin is also inside and must be caught."

"But... if there are monsters on the third level like the previous maze, no matter how many people there are in our Knight Order, it won't be enough to fill..."

"Yes, even if slaves and civilian hunters are to be recruited now, it will take seven or eight days before they arrive..."

"..."

Gizella frowned.

Intuition told her that the two "hundred men" that went down must have been wiped out. But the "mysterious man" who snatched the Holy Grail was definitely still alive.

With such a deep scheming, he managed to save the young boss of the "Sequoia Chamber of Commerce" and also took the Holy Grail. He would never rush into a dangerous place to die.

It must not be a dead end.

But she didn't dare to gamble or commit the risk personally.

But if I don't go in now, I really have to wait seven or eight days, and everything is too late.

The situation in front of him felt like a few mice ran into her own rice tank. The treasures of the entire ruins were originally theirs, but now they have been "stolen". Moreover, it is also not allowed that those "rats" ate and drank enough to make a hole and escape.

Just waiting like this is definitely not a good choice.

......

And just when the "Black Wind Collar" group was at a loss, another exploratory team came.

That was the home of the Rosas family, the hunting team led by the "Prince Harper".

Although both belong to the Rozas family, the hunting of wasteland involves the distribution of benefits after all, as I said before, the two groups of people do their own things.

Originally, the "Black Wind Collar" was the first to crack the maze and got the first chance to explore the second floor. He thought he would make a fortune, but he didn't expect such a "big accident".

Nearly a thousand people were lost in the battle just now, and the second poison was flattened with great difficulty.

But I didn't think any treasures have been found yet, the young master George was almost killed. The only treasure I saw, [Malakas' Holy Grail of Ten Thousand Poisons] was still snatched away under my nose.

Prince Harper looked at his cousin's team frustrated, not only not worried, but happy.

The young man with the same oily green hair came to the bronze door surrounded by a group of people and asked, "Why...I just saw my brother George being carried out. What is going on? "

Although there is a conflict of interest, this Harper is also one of his own descendants, but after all, he is his own family and a prince. The old mage named Picker had to tell the truth and said: "I just encountered a little accident and an assassin attacked. George..."

He told the story of the previous sneak attack by Rennes slowly.

"Assassin? Only one?"

Hearing this, the "Prince Harper" group was also surprised.

However, they did not pay much attention to it.

After all, his team has an extraordinary Tier 5 [Cursed Master] Barrag Magister, and several elite knights led by Tier 4 top powers.

This lineup, dealing with a single assassin, even the "Ten Legends" can not please.

But after listening to what happened before, Prince Harper and his party also faced the same problem.

That is how to explore the "third layer of relics" behind this bronze door?

In the end, the group tried various methods. After losing two Tier 3 commanders and an elite hunting group of hundreds of people, they finally gave up the stupid idea of ​​using their own people to test.

The darkness behind the bronze door was like a giant beast with a big mouth and a blood basin. People entered, there was no return, and no useful news could be detected.

Without intelligence feedback, they don't even know what's going on inside.

It’s a trap, a palace, a monster, or something else...

In the end, the fiancee of the prince [Moon Beauty] Marites made a feasible proposal.

Then, Prince Harper made this decision.

"Lack of people? Aren't there more than two thousand people alive in the maze above, all of them are driven down, let them try first!"

"But... Your Royal Highness, will this be bad for our Rozas family's reputation? After all, they now know that it's dangerous, and they definitely don't want to take risks anymore."

"Hehe, it's just a group of civilians who die when they die. We have to ask them for their will? Now our Glorious Kingdom, the most important thing is population. Besides, as long as we don't keep alive, who will know what happened here?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness!"

"..."

It now appears that this ruin must have a treasure.

Their Royal family of Rosas, can't wait for time, and they won't want to watch people **** their treasures and escape!

......

On the other hand, in the third layer of ruins.

After the bronze door came down, there was a long corridor.

After entering the thick magical barrier, it was not as dark as it looked outside.

There is a light source here.

The floor height is nearly 100 meters, and the suspended ceiling is a magnificent "starry sky". He looked up at a deep blue, dotted with bright "stars", like the ultimate starry sky in summer night.

Although the light source is weak, it is enough for people to see everything on the third floor.

What catches the eye is a row of exquisitely carved stone pillars, and on the stone pillars, some flesh-wing monsters that look like stone carvings are squatting. They are alchemy creatures [Hell Gargoyle] with a total of 36 heads.

At this moment, dead bodies and blood were everywhere on the passages and stone pillars.

The nearly 1,000-person exploratory team sent by the Rosas family before, the entire army was wiped out here.

Even the third-order high-level transcendents did not escape the catch of this gargoyle, who was immune to both monsters.

After Ren squatted here for a few waves of intruders, he also found that those from the Rosas family had no intention of coming in.

Without catching any big fish, he also completely lost his interest in squatting.

Simply use the devilish language to manipulate the bronze door and completely close the door.

.......

The layout of the third floor of the underground palace is very simple, almost at a glance you can see the end.

Along the walls, there are sixteen huge stone statues. They wear a crown and sit on a stone throne. Sixteen exceptionally gorgeous gold coffins are placed at the feet of stone sculptures.

This is the resting place of the 16 kings of this ancient country of Munkel.

No, to be precise, there should be only fifteen bodies.

The corpse of Pallas XV, who is also one of the "Sixty-two God Generals" [Thunder Night] Aruret Pallas was not here.

At the foot of the sculpture is an empty coffin without a lid.

Although Ren guessed that there might also be buried treasures in the dozen or so coffins, he did not open them.

Because the temple has a warning at all times: [If you disturb the rest of King Pallas, you will be cursed and die. 】

And he didn't come to robber the tomb either. What he was really interested in were things related to extraordinary powers, such as the magic light gate marked with [Inheritance] in the hall.

......

Catherine's mother and son reunited safely. Although the process was thrilling, everyone was happy.

Before, they were a little worried that there were so many people outside the Rosas family that they would be in a bad situation when they rushed in.

Unexpectedly, the monster statues on the stone pillars could actually "live out"!

Moreover, what is even more surprising is that Rennes can control them!

Then, it is because there is such a [gargoyle] gatekeeper that can catch even the third-order transcendents with one claw. He broke into several groups of hundreds and was easily killed.

Without the survival crisis, the mother and son were completely relieved and stayed in the underground palace with peace of mind.

Catherine's injury was not healed, so she lay in the open space to rest and recover; but Ganix couldn't bear to be lonely, studying everything in this underground palace.

At this time, the bronze door slowly closed, and there was a lot of movement.

Catherine watched Renne come over, and then curiously said: "Mr. Renne, have you been here before? I heard you just chant a spell and let the bronze door close by itself?"

Since encountering the assassin's night attack before, she has become accustomed to Rennes' various magical operations.

Several times it was a mortal situation, because the appearance of this man, it was alleviated.

Seeing that Ren can overtake the gargoyle and control the bronze door now, Catherine is not as surprised as she initially was.

In her heart, she had another impression of Renn: a guy who can always bring miracles.

"Ok."

Wren walked over, checked Catherine's injuries, and responded: "I encountered this kind of bronze door in another temple before, and happened to know how to manipulate these things."

"Oh?"

Catherine generously asked him to check her body, suddenly thinking of something, and asked: "Is it the time you and Canossa were in danger?"

Ren nodded: "Yeah."

After a pause, he said again: "The injury is recovering well."

"That's it."

Upon hearing this, Catherine suddenly thought of something.

She turned her eyes and didn't ask any more, instead she curled her eyebrows, revealing a meaningful chuckle.

At this time, Ganix, who was observing the stone carvings with a magic lamp not far away, watched Renn free his hands and greeted enthusiastically: "Hey, Mr. Renn! Come here, I have a big discovery!"

Ren turned his head and said: "So?"

This young adventurer has studied Munkel’s civilization very deeply. He desperately needs someone to share his findings, so he said excitedly: "Mr. Lane, I have just studied the content of the stone inscription carefully and found out that it is carved on it. The content seems to be the way to get in!"

Renn rolled his eyes, "Oh?"

Gannix frowned: "That's... the method on the stone carving is a bit weird. It says that if you want to enter this magic light gate, it seems that you need to put your heart on that balance..."

"..."

Hearing this, Ren raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

He could understand the ancient Munkel language and naturally knew what was written on it.

Near the pale golden "Might and Magic", there is also the strangest sculpture on the third floor.

This is a pure gold kobold statue over three meters high, wearing the same gorgeous clothes as the king statues beside it.

The weirdness lies in the golden balance in its hand.

There is a white feather on one side of the balance, and the other side is empty, so the whole balance is slightly tilted toward the feather.

And the stone wall next to the sculpture is engraved with words: "The brave of the trial, your ‘wisdom’ and ‘brave’ have successfully passed the test, and the last level is ‘soul’. Put your heart on the balance, the upright person, the heart will be as light as this ‘angel feather’; the person with sin in heart, enter the light gate, will be cursed and die. Enter the door of the void, you will get an extraordinary heritage...]

Simply put, this large piece of text requires a condition to be met before the gate of light can enter normally.

And the stone inscription behind the Kobold statue is equipped with an "instruction for entering the door", so you can guess the meaning without reading the text.

There are two sets of patterns.

One of the pictures shows a man cut his chest with a knife, then put his heart on the balance, the balance was balanced, and then the man walked into the light gate;

In the second picture, Tian Ping leaned toward the heart, and then the man who cut out the heart fell to the ground, and the kobold swallowed his soul.

The daily use at this moment is also the biggest reason why Renn had discovered the magic gate a long time ago, but did not dare to break in.

Since it is a "trial place", it must be carried out in accordance with certain specific rules.

He can choose to ignore this rule and just break in.

But the result is almost predictable and there is no doubt that he will die.

This is a world where there are or used to have gods, and everything must be held in awe.

Judging from the moments on the first and second floors of the underground palace, the people of this ancient civilization are not "myths and legends" but "facts".

Whether it is a kobold or a two-headed python...they are real.

At this level, 80% of them were not made to bluff people.

But if you let Renn follow the stone carving method, cut out his heart and place it on the scale. He felt that this method was very unreliable.

Although his current medical ability is very strong, even if the heart is isolated for a short period of time, the problem is not big.

However, no matter how you look at it, a heart is heavier than a feather.

How to keep the balance balanced?

This is also his scruples.

Maybe the method is wrong?

Ren didn't know if there were other metaphors for this method of entering the door, or what, after all, he did not dare to rashly cut out his heart and put it on it.

......

Finally, after watching the entire hall for a week, Renn didn't find any other methods other than "dissecting his heart", so he temporarily gave up searching.

It is more appropriate to find a secret channel for the energetic professional adventurer of Ganix.

At this time, Ren took out the [Poison Hand] Gizella's storage ring and looked at it carefully.

Almost everything inside is highly toxic.

However, because of the real-time monitoring of the "Intelligent Brain", Renn does not have to worry about the fatal poisoning.

In addition to various poisons in bottles and cans, many classics related to poison use have also been found.

Moreover, he also found a piece of dark gold bronze with a secret technique for the exclusive practice of Venomancer-[Void Poisonous Hand]!

"It's actually a physical martial art...Is it possible to ignore the body protection fighting qi to a certain extent? No wonder her poisonous python spell easily penetrated my body protection fighting qi before, it turns out that there is this secret technique!"

When Ren saw this poisonous hand's cultivation method, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In his impression, the supernatural beings of the [Venomancer] line are the same as the assassins, and murderers value sneak attacks.

The frontal combat capability will be greatly reduced.

Especially for the fourth and fifth-order high-level transcendents, as long as there is defense, the toxin is not very useful.

The high-level and extraordinary body guarding fighting energy envelops the whole body, unless the stage is crushed, or if it is not prepared to poison, the toxins will not enter the body at all.

And the powerful thing about this poisonous hand is that it can ignore the body guard to a certain extent, that is, the super high "damage penetration"!

Use countless poisons to temper your palms, and then gather the poisonous gas in your palms.

With a single shot, the toxin can easily penetrate the transcendent body guard qi of the same level, even the higher level transcendent, it has a miraculous effect.

After reading the introduction to the practice of this secret method, Renn suddenly thought of a thought: "If this thing is combined with [Kong Shen Blow], and it can not directly force the toxin into the target's body?"

[Kong Shen Blow] also uses Qi to transform Qi to force Qi Jin into the target body, with the special effect of "ignoring the target's defense". But in the end, the strength can penetrate a bit, and it is also restricted by the fighting spirit of the protective body.

If there is such a poisonous hand martial arts that enhances "damage penetration", while punching a punch, it will inject a poison, wouldn't it hurt the low price?

And the most powerful thing about this [Void Poisonous Hand] is not how to practice the secret method, but the "toxin"!

This is a secret method with an unlimited growth limit.

As long as the toxin used for refining hands is stronger, the stronger the "penetration" ability of ignoring the body's fighting energy, the greater the damage!

The more Ryan thought about it, the more shocked he was in his heart: "It's no wonder that [Poisonous Hand] Jizera has a record of killing a Tier 5 powerhouse. Originally thought it was a sneak attack and poisoning, it turned out that there was this one. Fortunately, he didn't fight her before. Touch, otherwise I’m afraid I will suffer a big loss..."

Toxins in the skin and internal organs are completely different.

On the surface of the skin, Renn can completely ignore toxins. Because his [God Healing Technique] can be cured instantly before the toxin has time to destroy the body.

But if it is the vital part of the internal organs, the moment the poison may be poisoned, there is no time to detoxify, and you will die on the spot!

Seeing this ~lightnovelpub.net~ Renn immediately had the idea to learn this secret.

Now he happens to have another "Colorful Poisonous Crystal" in his hand, can he find something more poisonous than this today?

Originally, I only wanted to improve the toxin resistance, but because of this secret method, he felt that he could master another big killer in the near future!

.......

Anyway, the people beside the bronze door couldn't open it. Originally, Ren planned to stay on the third floor of this temple for a while.

Then, there was really no other way to enter Might and Magic, and then take Catherine and her son to leave the secret road. Come later

Without thinking, the bronze door opened just two hours later.

This door can only be opened with devilish words.

And Ren knew that in addition to himself and the Great Witch Sacrifice of Marfa, there was another person who could speak devilishly.

That is the curse girl, Naretta!
