Klein pondered for a moment: "If it's convenient, tell me more about Calderon."
Queen Shia thought to herself that she had nothing to hide, and said truthfully: "The separation of humanity and divinity is not once and for all. Only the legendary water of the underground river flowing in Calderon can help me solve the hidden danger.
I have already mentioned this in my correspondence with Mr. Azik.
You are Mr. Azik's student, and you can enter this netherworld, so I thought you were a 'wanderer' from the doorway, specially here to help me."
Klein twitched the corner of his mouth.
I hide my aura because I don’t want to be seen through.
To some extent, he was successful.
It was just that the aura of the divine relic was too strong, which caused Queen Shia to misunderstand.
Back to the topic just now——
"The water of the dark river"
After thinking about it, Klein's heart trembled inexplicably.
Could this woman be talking about the water of the River of Eternal Darkness?
‘River of Eternal Darkness’, Klein understood the true meaning of this word.
After all, not long ago he had a show called "Church of the God of War".
The feeling of eternal silence and darkness is extremely impressive.
As for ‘Calderon’…
Klein silently recalled everything about this name in his mind.
Calderon, also known as the ‘City of the Dead’, was the land of God on earth once known as the “ancestor of the phoenix”, Gregory.
Since the ancient god opened up the underworld, he moved the kingdom of God here, and it gradually became a holy place for descendants and believers. Before being severely damaged and broken by the ancient sun god, the "Ancestor of the Phoenix" uprooted the city and threw it into the depths of the spiritual world.
, none of the residents there came out anymore.
Also, the name 'Calderon' comes from the first angel to enter the Abraham family, which means 'unknown soul' in the language of the dead.
"Deep in the spiritual world." Klein thought to himself.
Rounded up, it is equivalent to your own home court.
Coupled with the magical effect of the teleportation crystal, he was 90% sure of finding the legendary 'City of the Dead'.
only.
Klein looked at Queen Shia: "Are you sure you can solve your problem?"
At this point, he suddenly became speechless and gestured with his hands in embarrassment: "I mean, are you sure you can deal with a Sequence 0 who has lost his godhead?"
Queen Shia:......
How should I put it, you think too highly of me.
Klein also knew that he was forcing others to do something difficult. This was no different from telling Benbo Erba to get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples.
Seeing the expression on Klein's face, Queen Shia suddenly said: "I am not sure of defeating the original witch, but if I solve the hidden dangers in her body, I can indeed hold her back for a while.
The 'Pale Ring' is a relic of Salinger, the God of Death, but this treasure did not originally belong to my ancestors, but was the beloved object of the ancestor of the Phoenix.
Therefore, Calderon must have a solution to the hidden dangers of the Pale Ring.
As long as my divinity and humanity merge into one, I can fully master the power of the ring, and even be able to activate some of the projections of the remaining laws of the phoenix ancestor in the world.
In this way, holding back the original witch won’t be a problem.”
Hearing this, Klein hesitated.
It sounds like that.
But the premise of all this is that Calderon has a solution to the problem.
He remained silent, wondering whether he should help Queen Shia enter the 'City of the Dead'.
The only good thing now is that the ring that carries part of the original witch's power has been given to Amon. Otherwise, what he is thinking about now is not how to defeat his opponent, but how to save his life in the hands of the furious original witch.
"Let me think about it." The matter was so important that Klein had to consider everything before making a decision.
In front of Queen Shia, he started divination.
It's foggy.
Klein's spiritual body is mysterious and unpredictable.
Queen Shia was secretly shocked.
This little brother is not simple.
Suddenly, Klein opened his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, "Let's go when you're ready. I know what to do."
The revelation of destiny.
In other words, some mysterious pull drove Klein to Calderon.
Queen Shia nodded: "There is nothing to prepare, we can set off at any time."
Klein said nothing and held the teleportation crystal tightly.
The function of crystal is that it can be teleported to any place in the world (except the starry sky).
Theoretically, the spiritual world is also within its scope of action.
Anyway, if you fail, just crawl into the hole in history and enter the spirit world, and then let the Paw Paw Team lead the way.
"Calderon, Calderon, Calderon!" Klein chanted three times in a row.
Buzz——
A portal that exuded an ominous aura of death appeared in front of him.
A rare smile appeared on Queen Shia's cold face.
She came to Klein's side, propped up the light gray protective barrier, and said: "The power of death in the City of the Dead is too strong. Extraordinaries entering through other channels will slowly transform into slaves of that city. But we
With the pale ring, you can naturally avoid this problem."
Klein thought for a moment and said, "Can you determine the location of the River of Eternal Darkness? We must move quickly this time. The more we stay in Calderon for one more minute, the more dangerous we will be."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Queen Shia seemed very confident.
Seeing this, Klein didn't know what to say and took the initiative to step into the portal.
Time flies.
Space-time transformation.
From the underworld to the depths of the spiritual world, it only takes a blink of an eye.
Through the protective barrier, feeling the indescribable aura of death from the outside world, Klein was both nervous and quietly relieved.
You must know that the transmission of crystals is not 100% successful, there is a one-tenth chance of being transmitted randomly.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong the first time, otherwise Klein would have thought that Mr. Men was deliberately messing with him.
"This way!"
Time is precious.
Queen Shia's index finger with the ring pointed in a direction.
Klein said nothing and quickly followed.
This city is different from normal. It does not develop to high places, but extends to the end of the underground pits in circles. The whole city gives people the feeling of an inverted mausoleum.
Deepening.
What you see is extremely strange.
The buildings inside have various styles, but they are all equally strange.
Some of them are tall pale stone pillars with huge single houses polished on the top. Some are long and rectangular with doors opening on the roof and no windows. Some are built underground with a tombstone erected at the entrance.
Built with white bones, it is messy and fragmented, revealing a primitive and rough beauty.
"The style of the inverted pyramid of the Spiritual Religion is imitated by the City of the Dead, the ancestor of the Phoenix."
Queen Shia softly explained to Klein: "From heaven to earth, the upside-down building means entering from the human world to the underworld."
Klein said ‘hmm’.
He knew that no matter in the former Balam Empire or its branches such as the Highland Kingdom, only the so-called descendants of the God of Death could build such a mausoleum for themselves.
Mr. Azik owns an inverted pyramid...
In a sense, this is the symbol of the 'god of death'.
The closer you are to the end of the underground pit, the better preserved the buildings are.
Klein raised his head and looked at the broken and decaying buildings above his head. His heart was filled with the sense of decay and dilapidation brought about by time.
On the side, Queen Shia said: "The ancestor of the Phoenix used his authority (Death Gate) to open up a tributary for the River of Eternal Darkness. This river has the power to make all things in the world fall into eternal sleep and death. It can also wash away the stains on extraordinary items.
Spiritual imprint.”
Hearing this, Klein understood.
Queen Shia means nothing more than 'fighting fire with fire'.
Whether the 'Pale Ring' is left behind by the ancestor of the Phoenix or passed down by Salinger, as long as it is washed by the water of the River of Eternal Darkness, it becomes a "clean thing" in the true sense.
.
Klein suddenly thought of those DISCs that only contained power without any side effects.
See him lost in thought.
Queen Shia added: "It's a pity that we can only use the river water a little, but we can't take away the river water. Otherwise, using the River of Eternal Darkness to deal with the original witch can save us a lot of effort."
"Being able to use the river water depends on the fact that you have the relics of the ancestor of the Phoenix..." Klein twitched the corner of his mouth.
The River of Eternal Darkness, that thing is the source of the same level as Source Castle.
Even if the King of Angels comes in person, without any special means, he will probably be assimilated by the river and become a ghost that will never be freed.
All the way down.
Klein and Queen Shia finally saw the tributaries of the River of Eternal Darkness.
Well……
Said it was a river.
In fact, it is more like the sea, endless as far as the eye can see.
At such a close distance, Klein and Queen Shia could hardly see each other clearly.
Eternal darkness.
Darkness is the only theme here!
Click——
The light gray protective barrier began to crumble.
The process is not quick, but it does happen.
Klein couldn't help but urge: "Whatever you want to do, hurry up."
Queen Shia nodded, took off the simple ring made of white bone from her hand, and threw it forward without skill.
Plop——
Klein seemed to be hearing hallucinations in his ears.
no.
The two of us worked hard to get to the Yongan River, and you just performed a trick for me?
Queen Shia's expression remained unchanged.
She stared intently at the darkness in front of her.
call……
call……
call……
A rustling sound reached their ears.
Klein secretly became extremely vigilant.
But Queen Shia said: "Did you see that eternal flame?"
Klein:???
You are more like a goddess than a queen.
But he didn't say what was in his heart.
He just followed the same example and stared at the river in front of him with all his strength.
I do not know how long it has been.
The rustling sound became louder and louder.
A red dot the size of a soybean also appeared in their sights.
Close, getting closer...
The red dot gradually enlarged and turned into a giant thing half floating on the river: the giant bird's body was covered with pale flames and feathers woven with mysterious patterns, but most of it had been melted by the "River of Eternal Darkness".
Part of the skin was exposed, which was pitch black, rotten, and oozing yellowish pus. His eyes seemed to be made of bronze, with layers of illusory doors hidden inside.
"Ancestor of the Phoenix!" Klein's heart trembled.
It has been so many years, but it has not yet been assimilated by the River of Eternal Darkness.
Queen Shia didn't have the Source Castle, so she didn't have the courage to look at the ancient god's corpse. She suppressed the out-of-control madness, used secret techniques with her hands, and used the connection with the 'Pale Ring' to light up her index finger.
Until the whole finger was burned to ashes, the 'pale ring' that fell into the river miraculously floated up.
When Queen Shia saw it, she used her soul as a carrier to create a 'gap' that could accommodate the ring.
The washed 'pale ring' became one with her again.
"Let's go!" Queen Shia obviously suffered a lot of backlash.
Even the human part has begun to turn into bones.
Klein looked at Queen Shia, and then at the corpse of the ancient god not far away.
Gritting his teeth, he held the teleportation crystal to open the portal back to the underworld, and involuntarily pushed the poor Queen Shia in.
However, he himself stayed where he was, without moving.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
Maybe the hunch in the dark should be here.
"Thread of the Thief!" Klein shouted out the secret technique of the 'Thief' that he had copied from his stronghold.
Although Wrong Uniqueness is no longer with him, he still has the old cornerstone of the Gou San family, Yuan Castle.
Give it a try.
What if it happens?
The words fall.
A translucent thread protruded from Klein's palm.
Klein was ecstatic.
Done!
As for the sudden and fleeting sense of disobedience, it quickly disappeared.
He connected with the corpse of the ancient god, and as usual, many scenes from the past appeared in front of him.
At this moment, a chuckle came from somewhere deep in the spiritual world...
I do not know how long it has been.
Klein finally woke up.
He did not dare to touch the authority of the Death Path, but instead stole part of the power of the Phoenix Ancestor's Gate Path.
This part of the power merged with the teleportation crystal to condense into a simple cane.
Klein raised his lips.
Tap the tip of the staff lightly, and the whole person disappears quickly.
Only the empty and eternal river flows silently.
…
Deep in the spiritual world, there is a transformed spire church.
Little Zaratul sat quietly at the door, with a single pair of glasses on his eyes.
Sometimes he smiled, sometimes he was frightened, as if two consciousnesses were fighting each other for control of his body.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Don't be so open-minded, I just helped you."
"Bertrand is your puppet, I don't want it!"
"But you can't resist, because I am the mystery itself."
"Secret...Secret...I don't...don't want..."
"Sleep, sleep quietly, just leave everything to me like you usually do."
"No……"
The old voice quickly disappeared.
‘Little Zaratul’ stretched out relaxedly and pinched his monocle: “You still have to be sneaky when you go out to let the wind blow, so it’s easy for me.”
His gaze penetrated countless stars, landed on a certain plane, and chuckled: "When you take the initiative to 'open the door', it means you welcome others to come as guests. In this case, I won't be polite."
Ouch~
Accompany his words.
Many Fulgrim's Hounds traveled through time and space.
Not Crane's Paw Team.
But another group of Fulgrim's dogs.
When the dogs saw 'Little Zaratul', they rubbed against his legs with great joy, as if celebrating their reunion with their master.
And 'Little Zaratul' was also very kind. He reached out and touched the dog's head and murmured to himself: "What happened last time must not be forgotten like this. I hold a grudge very much."
