v3 Chapter 52: leave (two/nine)

Due to the cleanup by "Chief" Colin and his party just now, there were no monsters in the church tower for the time being, so Abner easily followed the stairs with completely corroded planks and glide all the way to the deepest part of the basement.

As soon as he arrived here, the black gem left by the goddess on Abner's chest once again condensed a rich "darkness", and instantly took him into a deep "nightmare".

Abner only felt that the ground under his feet had completely disappeared, and he had to keep falling...

I don't know how long it took, when he got his feet on the ground again, he had come to a bronze door that opened.

The dense symbols and strange patterns engraved on the surface of the gate are generally similar to the one in the "God of Luck" ruins, but the details are slightly different.

At this moment, the door has been opened, and there is no shadow of the "Sea of ​​Chaos" behind it, but illusory black doors lined up like the "torii" of the island country.

"In fact, I always feel that these bronze gates that originally sealed the 'Sea of ​​Chaos' are somewhat similar to the door in the body of the 'Gate of Death' pathway 'Gatekeeper'...

"In addition, people who die in front of the bronze gate that seals the 'Sea of ​​Chaos' can easily turn into resentful spirits, and then, under the aggregation of inexplicable forces, become 'ancient resentment spirits'... and 'ancient resentment' Spirit' is the main source of material for the 'Gate' pathway.

"'Death God' and 'Gate', plus the ability to seal the entrance to the 'Sea of ​​Chaos'... Is it the handwriting of 'Phoenix Ancestor' Greycarrie?

"In addition, the authority of the 'God of Luck' has nothing to do with the 'God of Death' and the 'Gate'... When 'I' built this passage, in addition to the help of the goddess, did the 'Phoenix Ancestor' also help?

"In this way, the 'God of Luck' really has a lot of friends!"

I don't know if it was pride, or after a helpless sigh, Abner didn't delay any longer and walked directly into the open door.

But he immediately discovered that he did not enter the passages made up of those black "torii".

Different from the simple and convenient help of "key" when you come, even if the passage is still open, if you want to go back, you must find a way to step into the dimensions of those "torii",

"In other words, do you have to be pure spirit creatures or astral creatures to enter?" After using the "Pure White Eye" to observe for a while, Abner suddenly realized, "Of course, if you reach the angel level, there will be no problem... …

"Fortunately, I didn't propose to take the little 'sun' out to play... or else I'd be embarrassed now!"

Although he still has an extraordinary item "Shadow of Cyan" that can be transformed into a "special resentful soul" in his hand, it is not pure, and a short-distance "shuttle" is not a problem, but over such an ultra-long distance " channel" is prone to problems.

However, such a condition could not help Abner himself.

I saw that "starlight" suddenly flashed in his pure white eyes, and then the whole person turned into a line of shining bugs.

"Star Insect"!

This is Abner's signature ability "mimicry" that can only be used by "insighters" mastered in advance by "Pure White Eye", which can temporarily change into an incomplete mythological form of other ways that is completely analyzed by himself.

Although Abner's inspiration told him that it is best not to rely on the "Pure White Eye" to use this ability too often, it is not a problem to use it a few times in an emergency.

With the completion of his transformation, "Star Insect" entered the passage with a "flash", and then passed through countless "torii"-like black gates within a few seconds, and appeared on the other side of the "wall" "forward.

Abner quickly released the transformation, so as not to let Edwina see him in the "incomplete mythical creature form" and fall into madness.

In addition, he also took the time to transform into a suit of clothes to put on himself - the transformation just now completely scrapped the original stone armor.

Although this trip seems to have done a lot of things, in fact, it only takes more than three hours from departure to return, so "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina is still waiting here.

At this moment, when she saw Abner returned safely, she was relieved and greeted him.

Abner asked her to wait for a while, then turned around and took off the "key" stone slab on the wall, closing the secret passage, lest any monsters on the opposite side take the opportunity to run over, which would not be very good. .

As an experienced explorer, Edwina guessed Abner's thoughts when she saw his movements, so she asked brightly, "Is the other side of the passage dangerous?"

Hearing this, Abner nodded and replied, while recalling the unique perspective in the state of "Insect of the Stars", "It is very dangerous! If there is no protection from the gods, I may not be able to come back."

He didn't exaggerate, without the goddess's secret, he might be discovered by the "true creator", and whether he can come back at that time is really two.

Of course, this is also to dispel Edwina's idea of ​​exploring.

"So dangerous...Aren't you injured?" Edwina frowned, then her light blue eyes turned dark, and she began to carefully examine Abner's body.

"Don't!" Abner hurriedly stopped, but it was too late, Edwina's eyes were stunned for a few seconds, and then she immediately stopped the secret technique.

Now, on the two of us, only that piece of cloak is the real fabric... At this time, "Real Vision" is opened, isn't it going to happen? Abner murmured a few words, quickly changed the subject, and told Edwina some of the experiences in Afternoon Town.

Of course, things about the floating city and the city of silver were temporarily hidden by him, and he only talked about the environment and monsters there.

"The gate that separates reality and myth... The Royal Court of Giants..." Edwina repeated it several times with shining eyes, wishing she could go and see it for herself.

But her "weakness" didn't allow her to do this... After all, even Abner couldn't guarantee that she would come back. If she went, death would be the best outcome.

With this in mind, Edwina touched the brass mirror in her hand and decided to be promoted to demigod as soon as possible.

When she was instructed to intercept the Aurora Society's messenger and indirectly rescue Abner, Hugh, and Miss Gwen, she was given a brass mirror that could be used for "prophecy" by the gods.

And when the crisis of "Admiral Pale" is successfully resolved and the task of the gods is completed, the ownership of this sealed artifact will completely belong to her.

Edwina clearly knows that this brass mirror is actually the "magic potion" material given to her by the gods for promotion, but she has not yet found a way to smash it and restore it to its characteristics.

In addition, her "secret master" potion has only just been digested, so she was not in a hurry before.

But now, she suddenly felt a sense of urgency - Abner was walking faster and faster, she had to keep up, otherwise she would just wait like this time.

While thinking about her thoughts, Edwina chatted with Abner about the details of the afternoon town environment. The two quickly walked up the stairs and returned to the throne of the "God of Luck".

Looking at this tall and strong, yet handsome-looking ancient god, Abner and Edwina stopped talking, as if they didn't want to disturb his sleep.

Of course, Edwina may be in awe, but Abner's heart is full of slander.

Finally, he learned the habit of Renette Tinichole and put a "label" on the head of the most "oldest" self at present - "Cao Thief"!

After spurning himself, Abner took Lieutenant General Iceberg down to the first floor of the palace, and then picked up some gold and silver jewelry that Roselle never took away, and distributed them to Edwina. Afterwards, he left the ruins of this "God of Luck".

This time I have gained a lot, and other things are not what I should take now!

Before leaving the hall, Abner looked back at the "Perfect Card" and "Knowledge Mentor" features that Roselle had left here, knowing that the latter was most likely used for the "Resurrected" "Mechanical Emperor" For advanced use.

Don't look at the "Mechanical Emperor"'s body that was completely destroyed, but Abner felt that the yellow gem-shaped thing like a "relic" might be the key to Liu Bo's death and not stiffness in all dynasties.

As long as there is that thing, and combined with the characteristics of my life, there should be a hope of "resurrection" as my avatar.

"It looks like...even Daniel may not be dead...and the Sealed Artifact '1-025' he transformed into was 'sacrificed' by me, and it is probably in the original body of the 'Bound God'... ...and Siah is probably encroaching on that body, taking the Sequence 1 'God's Sin' feature in it..."

Just when Abner was thinking about it, Edwina also looked back at the "God of Luck", "Knowledge Teacher" characteristics and the card of blasphemy in the palace, and couldn't help but asked softly: "Don't take them away. ?"

"It's very likely to be dangerous... or forget it... It won't be too late to take it when we have enough strength. Before that, it's better to let Roselle arrange the 'Vocal' defense ceremony to protect this place..." Ai Buna replied casually.

However, this is not a fool. His intuition tells him that if he does not revive the "God of Luck" as his avatar and takes away his characteristics without authorization, I am afraid that the fate of himself and Edwina will be greatly deflected... To the bad side!

Although the "God of Luck" is called "lucky", it is obvious that it will not be soft on giving "bad luck" to others.

Especially after Abner's observation~lightnovelpub.net~ The God of Luck' accumulated "lucky" and "bad luck" in the body is somewhat unbalanced. At present, "bad luck" has far surpassed "lucky". , or something went wrong.

At the same time, he also remembered the "Crystal Ball of Doom" that he got from the original owner of the Fragrant Leaf Bar, Ozier the "Guru" and later handed over to Klein for safekeeping. That thing was inextricably linked with the "God of Luck" relationship, the person who holds it will even dream of the location of the ruins.

Abner suspects that it was deliberately released to release the "bad luck" on the "God of Luck".

However, this expedition did not use it from beginning to end... According to Abner's original expectation, the crystal ball should be a clearance item for a certain "level".

"Well, it should be Roselle's cauldron... He forcibly leveled the level that originally required the 'Crystal of Doom' with his strength, and left six iron lions to guard.

"The lion suppresses evil and suppresses bad luck. There may also be an element of 'mysterious reappearance'... Well, I can't make it up."

Abner complained a few words in his heart, and under Edwina's increasingly puzzled eyes, he pulled her out of the gate of the ruins.
