"Xia De, do you know that once you come to this world, you can't go back."

"Don't worry, I can go back."

Xia De said easily, and then asked Priest Augustus:

"So, what the **** is going on here? Why did you step through death's gate? What's wrong here?"

The priest shook his head:

"Since you have already appeared here, I will not explain the [Life and Death Narrow Room]. Simply put, after I accidentally fell into the narrow room, because of my sensitivity to the power of death, I realized that there was a big problem here .”

"what is the problem?"

"The world of the dead should not communicate with the world of the living. All the gaps in this world are expanding. From the first era of the second era to the sixth era, this initial and largest gap is about to be unbearable. .”

"Sorry, what do you mean by unbearable?"

Shad still doesn't understand.

"It's very simple. The world we live in now is purely the world of the dead, and the power accumulated here should only exist here. But with the gap between life and death, the power of death penetrates into the material world, causing the gap to become more and more Bigger, and more and more."

This is mentioned in Sister Devlin's material.

"The narrow space devours the living every autumn to balance the power of death and delay the outbreak of death. However, the church can't destroy all the narrow space, so it can only continue to strengthen the seal, but this also leads to the accumulation in the narrow space. There are more and more souls who do not want to leave."

Based on the number of souls that Shad saw just now, the number of souls in the narrow space of life and death is far more than the number of living people in the Midhill Fort area.

"Isn't the church well sealed?"

Shad asked again:

"Not only did we prepare a large-scale ceremony in the real world, but we also arranged a huge divine ceremony in the narrow room. All of this is very good."

The priest shook his head again:

"I can clearly feel death and the horror of this horrible place. Even though the church has been blocking it since the fifth era, one day death will truly communicate reality. The underground of Fort Midhill is about to I can't take it anymore. Xia De, only I can feel that the power accumulated here will explode in a very short period of time... So, I voluntarily stepped through the gate of death and sealed this place .”

Therefore, since the disappearance of the priest, the disappearances of this autumn stopped immediately. This is actually a kind of sacrifice.

"Since a catastrophe is about to happen, shouldn't it be enough to tell the church? We have to trust the church."

Xia De also said that it is actually very strange to persuade a senior clergyman to believe in the church from the perspective of a shallow believer like him.

"No, it's too sudden. Once the narrow space collapses, the outbreak of death will be more serious than any previous disaster, and it will definitely appear before the end of this year. Unless you call on the gods, otherwise, with the strength of mortals, you can't resist coming from here. A door flocks to the death of the real world. There will be no signs, just a matter of a few minutes, and everything will be over. Even if the god-calling ceremony is prepared in advance, it will take at least 20 minutes to complete the final A step of......"

The priest sighed, that is to say, even if the summoning ceremony is successful, the gods can only help mortals solve the disaster after the accident.

"I have such power, and I happened to come here. I think this is my mission. I can die here to save everything and guard this door with my soul. I think this is the best ending."

"In other words, as long as this door is sealed, can the troubles in Fort Midhill be resolved?"

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly, if it was really just like this, he might have a way.

But the priest shook his head again:

"I got some materials in the narrow room. The church guards here didn't know where they went, but they didn't stop me from approaching the library... In short, in the narrow room of life and death formed in the Fort Midhill area, There are three channels for communicating death.

Located at the foot of Mount Xikale is this door of death, which is sealed and guarded by the Orthodox Church, and now I will strengthen the seal. "

Only then did Xia De realize that the church had only sealed one-third of it.

"The passage on the mountainside of Xikar Mountain is barely guarded by the seals left by the witch emperors of the previous era, but it seems that there are some problems. The white mist that gushes from the mountainside every autumn is caused by the loosening of the seals. But the church couldn't find the location of that passage for the time being, and the witch emperors were worried that the seal would be broken, so they hid it."

This is the first time Xia De knew that those witch emperors did things other than enjoyment and fighting. He thought that those women would only exterminate and cherish animal populations to make cosmetics, or spend a lot of gold on things that ordinary people can't use at all. invention.

"Finally, the passage at the top of Mount Xikal, guarded by an ancient, is so hot and full of life that I can barely feel its presence...very powerful."

The priest glanced at the thin red burning thread on Shade's right wrist. Xia De also looked down at his hand, and asked a question abruptly:

"Priest, have you ever spread the wings behind you in the Sikar Mountains?"

he asked, and the priest shook his head:

"No."

Therefore, when Xia De went down the mountain and met the soul of the hanged ghost who said he saw a "huge bird", what he saw was definitely not the Augustus priest.

"So, as long as these three passages are sealed, this matter can be solved?"

Xia De asked again, the priest still shook his head:

"The passage is not important, what is important is the narrow space between life and death. As long as that place exists, sooner or later there will be more passages."

"Hmm... just destroy Hazama?"

"The church has not found a way so far, and even if it does, it will cause millions or even tens of millions of souls to flock to the real world, and most of them will turn into evil spirits at that moment."

Shad imagined the scene of seven or eight digits or even nine tens of digits of evil spirits appearing in Fort Midhill:

"Then how about arranging the **** summoning ceremony in advance and letting the righteous gods solve the problem? Let the gods destroy the narrow space and guide those souls to real death."

"Xia De, there are not many level 0 relics in this world, and there are still many sufferings in this world. Why didn't the gods solve all these and make everything in the world happy and beautiful? No, it's not that they can't, but the gods There are restrictions on the surrender ceremony, not only the price of materials, but also secrets that we don’t know. Before confirming that mortal power alone cannot cope .”

Then, the upcoming catastrophe of shattering the space and the outbreak of death seems to be an unsolvable problem. It cannot be completely solved, but it can only be sealed continuously until the day when it can no longer be sealed.

"This world is really dangerous."

Xia De couldn't help but sigh.

A smile appeared on the priest's tired face:

"I'm glad you are aware of this. There is only one world after death, but there is more than one gap between life and death. The history of this one may be traced back to the Second Epoch, so it is so terrifying, so there is no need to worry about other gaps. Xia De, if you can leave, just leave, I am very happy to see you, look, my luck is really good."

This time it was Xia De's turn to shake his head, and he turned to look back at the calm water, those shadowy souls standing on the water. The moonlight illuminated his face, and he was actually still amazed that he had actually passed death:

"You said that you can guard this door and prevent the outbreak of death power by staying here?"

"Just this passage down the mountainside, I can only do what I can."

The priest looked at Shad's back from above:

"The eruption before the end of this year is blocked here, but I can't tell what will happen to the other two passages. However, it will not flow out from the door at the foot of the mountain, which means that it will give the church More time. Speaking of which, I can't do it alone, thanks to you..."

"I?"

Xia De hesitated:

"I don't seem to have done anything?"

"When I pushed open the door in the depths of the Church of Nature in the gap between life and death, there was no light here."

"No light?"

Xia De squinted his eyes and looked at the half-round silver moon at the end of the boundless water:

"Isn't this dark moon shining?"

"No, there was no moon."

The priest's voice was calm.

"No?"

"Yes, originally, there was only boundless darkness and emptiness here, without this moon. But when you called me into your dream, the world of the dead infected your dream, but it didn't seem to have any effect on you Influence. And the light of the huge silver moon in your dream, also shone here..."

The priest on the door also looked up at the silver moon at the end of the water.

No one spoke, the silver light illuminated the faces of the stranger and the old priest, in the world of the concept of death itself, they all had doubts about it, and Xia De suspected that it was because of the divinity in his soul, Infected with the spirit rune [Silver Moon], and then a trace of divine power penetrated into this world, and this moon was formed.

The burning thread on Xia De's wrist suddenly became hot. It was Sister Devlin reminding him that it was almost dawn and he had to return as soon as possible.

"I don't know if this is a permanent change or a temporary change, but your dream has changed this place. The appearance of the dark moon that guides death has indeed stabilized death and delayed the impending disaster."

whispered the priest;

"Xia De, leave, this door must be guarded."

"Even if this seal is strengthened, there may be problems with the other two. I think the best way is actually for the priest to leave with me. The role you can play in reality is greater than if you are here alone."

It is true that Priest Augustus seems to be particularly familiar with death, and knows many things that the Church does not. If you want to prevent the outbreak of death, the priest can definitely help a lot by providing information to the church in reality.

Priest Augustus obviously knew this too, but he still shook his head:

"This door of death is almost unbearable, I must be here."

"Priest, let me strengthen the seal."

Shad said, and Priest Augustus looked at him:

"You don't know how..."

"I know, I can clearly, incomparably clearly feel how cold, how empty, how quiet it is here."

Xia De took a deep breath, he still turned his back to the priest and looked at the silver moon. That silver moon is enough to drive any ordinary person crazy, but it is extremely kind to Xia De:

"Priest, I can even break into the dark realm and kill Ivan Darkness, so can't I create miracles again?"

"So it's really you, but why... Iluna Bayas from the Church of the Sun is also your friend."

Priest Augustus was silent, and after a while:

"How many seals can you reinforce?"

"You have to try this before you know, but I think at least it won't be useless. It can be delayed for a while, so that the church has time to respond. Priest, do you believe me?"

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Mimi Reading, install the latest version. 】

Another moment of silence:

"Well."

There was a sound of flapping wings from the door behind him, and Shad knew that it was Priest Augustus coming down from the door.

"Xia De, there are other living people in the narrow room of life and death. I let them take refuge in the Dawn Church in the narrow room. After a while, I will leave first and lead them back to the real world. I cannot enter the narrow room of life and death at will, but there is no need to go out." Problem. We will appear in the forest of Mount Xikale, and after leaving here, everyone except me will lose their memory. After all, the narrow space is not a place where living people should exist, so you don’t have to worry about this.

After you strengthen the seal, you should leave immediately. If you stay here for a long time, you will also get lost. "

Xia De knows this, in fact, in his [Time Perception], it will be dawn in half an hour:

"Alright, so many missing people go out together, the church will not doubt your identity. As for the communication with the church~lightnovelpub.net~ you can use other methods, priests, it's better not to expose the correspondence students matter."

"OK."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Priest Augustus appeared beside Shad, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, but the wings behind him were gone.

The two stood in front of the tidal flat by the water, looking at the direction where countless souls were heading, and at the half silver moon in the sky. The moonlight illuminated their faces and eyes. Perhaps, the scenes they saw at this moment were not exactly the same.

After a moment the priest said in a low voice:

"Xia De, thank you for coming to save me."

"Priest, don't you want to take advantage of me and say you want me to be your grandchild? No, no, I'm still willing to be your friend."

Xia De said jokingly, the priest shook his head:

"At least I know who I should leave the estate to in the formal will."

"Don't mention death anymore, priest, I've been exposed to this word too often this week. Speaking of which, if, like in those knight novels, it's a young princess waiting for me to rescue instead of you, maybe... ..”

He realized that it was very unlucky to say that, so he stopped talking immediately. The priest smiled and shook his head, and handed Shad a burnt feather.

The moment Xia De touched it, a reminder that half of his hand had completely lost consciousness came from his already numb senses, and a reminder was also given in his ear:

[Outlander, you have come into contact with whispers. 】

"This is the power of death. It can allow you to obtain a death-related spirit rune and help you strengthen the power to seal the door of death. Only in this kind of place can I give this kind of power. In the real world, I It's just an old human from the second ring."

The priest laughed at himself:

"Xia De, no matter what, we must go back in time."
