Chapter 605: The Disaster of Fort Midhill

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

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

Shade said easily, and then asked Priest August:

"So, what's going on? Why did you cross death's door? What's wrong here?"

The priest shook his head:

"Since you have already appeared here, I will not explain the matter of [The Narrow Room of Life and Death]. To put it simply, 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?"

"There should be no communication between the world of the dead and the world of the living. All the narrow spaces in this world are expanding. From the second era when it first appeared to the sixth era, this first and largest narrow space will soon be unable to bear it.

.”

"Sorry, what do you mean you can't bear it?"

Shade still doesn't understand.

"It's very simple. The world we are in now is a pure world of the dead, and the power accumulated here should only exist here. But with the narrow space of life and death, the power of death penetrates into the material world, causing the narrow space to become more and more open.

The bigger it gets, the more it gets.”

This was mentioned in Sister Devlin's information.

"The narrow rooms devour living people every autumn in order to balance the power of death and delay the outbreak of death. The church cannot destroy all the narrow rooms anyway, so it can only continue to strengthen the seals, but this also leads to the accumulation of money in the narrow rooms.

There are more and more souls who don’t want to leave.”

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

"Isn't the church well sealed?"

Shade asked again:

"Not only are large-scale rituals prepared in the real world, but huge magical rituals are also arranged in the narrow room. This is all very good."

The priest shook his head again:

"I can clearly feel death and the horror of this horrible place. Even if the church has been blocking it since the fifth era, one day death will truly communicate with reality. The underground of Fort Midhill is about to

I can't bear it anymore. Shade, I am the only one who can feel that the power accumulated here will explode in a very short period of time. So, I voluntarily crossed the door of death and sealed this place."

So since the priest disappeared, the disappearances this fall suddenly stopped, which is actually a kind of sacrifice.

"Since a great disaster is about to happen, wouldn't it be enough to tell the church? We must believe in the church."

Shade added that in fact, it is very strange for him to persuade a senior cleric to believe in the church from the perspective of a shallow believer.

"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 occur before the end of this year. Unless the gods are summoned, mortals will not be able to withstand the force from this disaster.

The door rushes towards death in the real world. There will be no signs, and it will be over in just a few minutes. Even if the god summoning ceremony is prepared in advance, it will take at least twenty minutes to complete.

A step of"

The priest sighed, which meant that even if the god-summoning ceremony was successful, the gods could only help mortals solve the disaster after the accident.

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

"In other words, as long as this door is sealed, will the trouble in Fort Midhill be solved?"

Shade narrowed his eyes slightly. If this was really the case, he might have a way.

But the priest actually shook his head again:

"I got some information in the narrow room. I don't know where the church guard here went, but he 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 a total of three communication death

channel.

Located at the foot of Mount Sikar is the Door of Death, which is sealed and guarded by the Orthodox Church. Now it is up to me to strengthen the seal."

Only then did Shade realize that the church had only sealed one third.

"The passage located on the mountainside of Sikal Mountain is barely guarded by the seal left by the Witch Emperors of the previous era, but it seems that there are some problems. The white mist that pours out from the mountainside every autumn is caused by the loosening of the seal.

.But the church cannot find the location of that passage for the time being. The Witch Emperors were worried that the seal would be destroyed, so they hid it."

This was the first time that Shade knew that the Witch Emperors did things other than pleasure and fighting. He originally thought that those women would only exterminate precious animal species and prepare cosmetics, or spend a lot of gold on things that ordinary people could not use at all.

invention.

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

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

"Priest, did you spread the wings behind you in the Sikal Mountains?"

he asked, and the priest shook his head:

"No."

Therefore, when Shade came down the mountain and met the hanged ghost soul who said he saw a "huge flying bird", what he saw was definitely not Priest Augustus.

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

Shade asked again, and 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 more passages will appear."

"Well, it's enough to destroy the narrow room?"

"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 flow into the real world, and most of them will turn into evil spirits at that moment."

Shade imagined the scene of seven-digit, eight-digit or even nine-digit evil spirits appearing in the city of Fort Midhill:

"Then how about arranging the god-summoning ceremony in advance and letting the good gods solve the problem? Let the gods destroy the narrow room and guide those souls to true death."

"Xia De, there are not many Level 0 relics in this world, and there are still many sufferings in this world. Why haven't the gods solved all of this and made everything in the world happy and beautiful? No, it's not that they can't, but that the gods

There are restrictions on the surrender ceremony, not only the price of materials, but also the secrets that we don’t know. Before it is confirmed that it cannot be dealt with by relying on mortal strength alone, the church will not easily call the gods and let the gods appear on the earth under the steam.

."

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

"This world is really dangerous."

Shade couldn't help but sigh.

A smile appeared on the priest's tired face:

"I'm glad you can realize this. There is only one world after death, but there is more than one narrow space between life and death. The history of this one can probably be traced back to the Second Age, so it is so terrifying, so there is no need to worry about the other narrow spaces.

Shade, if you can leave, please leave. I am very happy to see you. Look, my luck is really good."

This time it was Shade's turn to shake his head. He turned around and looked back at the calm water and the shadowy souls standing on the water. The moonlight illuminated his face, and he was actually still surprised that he had actually crossed it.

die:

"You said that if you stay here, you can guard this door and prevent the power of death from erupting?"

"It's just this passage under the mountainside, I can only do what I can do."

The priest looked at Shade's back from above:

"For the outbreak before the end of this year, my place is blocked, 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 the church will be blocked after the accident.

More time. Speaking of which, I can’t do it alone, thanks to you.”

"I?"

Shade hesitated:

"It seems I haven't done anything, right?"

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

"No light?"

Shade squinted his eyes and looked at the half-shaped silver moon at the end of the endless water:

"Isn't this dark moon originally shining?"

"No, there was no moon originally."

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 invaded 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 shines into this place."

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

No one spoke, and the silver light illuminated the faces of the strangers and the old priests. In the world of the concept of death itself, they all had doubts about it, and Shade suspected that this was because of the divinity in his soul.

It was infected with the spiritual rune [Silver Moon], and then a trace of divine power penetrated into this world, and this moon was formed.

The burning thread on Shade's wrist suddenly became hot. It was Sister Devlin who was reminding him that dawn was coming and he must 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;

"Shad, please leave, this door must be guarded."

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

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

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

"This door of death can no longer hold. I must be here."

"Priest, let me strengthen the seal."

Shade said, and Priest Augustus looked at him:

"You have no idea how big it is here."

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

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

"Priest, I can even break into the dark realm and kill Ivan Darkness. Can't I create another miracle?"

"It turns out it's really you, but why is it that Iluna Bayas from the Sun Church turns out to be your friend too."

Priest Augustus was speechless. After a moment:

"How many seals can you strengthen?"

"You won't know until you try this, but I think at least it won't be ineffective. It can delay it for a while and give the church time to respond. Priest, do you believe me?"

Another moment of silence:

"Well."

The sound of flapping wings came from the door behind him, and Shade knew that this was Priest Augustus coming down from the door.

"Shade, there are other living people in the Narrow Room of Life and Death. I asked them to take refuge in the Church of Dawn in the Narrow Room. I will leave first after a while and lead them back to the real world. I cannot enter the Narrow Room of Life and Death at will, but I can't go out.

The problem is. We will appear in the forest of Sikal Mountain, and after leaving here, everyone except me will lose their memory. After all, a 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 must leave immediately. If you stay here for a long time, you will also get lost."

Shade knows this. In fact, in his [time perception], it will be dawn in half an hour:

"It's good, if so many missing people go out together, the church will not doubt your identity. As for subsequent communication with the church, you can use other methods. Priests, it is better not to expose the correspondence students."

"OK."

The footsteps got closer and closer, and Priest Augustus appeared beside Shade, standing side by side with him, but the wings behind him were gone.

The two of them stood in front of the beach by the water, looking in the direction where countless souls were heading, and looking at the half-moon of silver in the sky. The moonlight illuminated their faces and their eyes. Perhaps, what the two of them saw at this moment was

The scenes are not exactly the same.

After a moment, the priest whispered:

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

"Priest, you don't want to take advantage of me and say you want to treat me as your grandson in the future? No, no, I am still willing to be your friend."

Shade said jokingly, and the priest shook his head:

"At least I know who I should leave my inheritance to in my formal will."

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

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

The moment Shade made contact, a hint that half of his hand had completely lost consciousness came through his already numb senses, and a hint was also given in his ears:

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

"This is the power of death, which allows you to obtain a spiritual rune related to death and helps you strengthen the power to seal the door of death. Only in this place can I give this power. In the real world, I

He’s just an old human with a second ring.”

The priest smiled to himself:

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

PS: Remember, there are three passages, the top of the mountain, the mountainside and the foot of the mountain, the unknown ancient one, the Witch Emperor and the church.
