Chapter 2780 2781, Inheriting the Underground World (31)

Like honey.
"[Human beings have always had strange obsessions, and sometimes they are controlled by these obsessions,]"
When Sherlock was hesitant and began to think wildly, a somewhat familiar female voice sounded beside him:
"[At that time, there will be very few 'people' left, hehehe~]"
Although she was probably talking about those fallen kings, she felt that she was also mocking herself...
Sherlock turned around, lowered his head, and then saw the white cat pretending to be a fortune teller, "Lovely Shyragl".
I had only a few words of conversation with it before being interrupted by Melina who was petting the cat, but at least I learned that she had never turned into ashes like other villagers or monsters, which means...
"What is the seventh throne besides desire, destruction, despair, delirium, fate and dreams?" Sherlock asked.
"[Didn't find the right one? I guess,]"
The little white cat jumped on the stone next to the campfire and started licking its paws:
"[Okay, that's really frustrating, meow~]"
"You have experienced many reincarnations of the 'World of Behem'," Sherlock looked at it with certainty: "Even if you don't know the name of the throne, you must know what it looks like." "[This world is dead (
Death)," Xia Lagel said nonchalantly: "[Everything will collapse (Destroy), then gradually decline (Decline), and finally fall into darkness (Dark).
]"
Choose one of the four? But some of the words have the same meaning as the other six, and some are not suitable as throne names.
"[The fire will eventually burn out one day,]" Xia Lagel continued: "[Even if those 'salary kings' continue to 'add to the fire', they can only guarantee that the fire will not go out while they are in power.]"
"Salary King"...
"[Before you light a bonfire in this world again, it has been in 'darkness', then... meow meow meow~]"
Xia Lagel was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Melina, who finally noticed its appearance and ran over to pet the cat with great interest.
——From this point of view, the last uncertain throne should be the "dark" throne.
——Reasonable, it will appear in the gap between the other six types of thrones replacing each other, ensuring that the world of Beiheim, which has been completely plunged into darkness in a short period of time, will not be swallowed by the "abyss" until other types of thrones bring dawn.
——Then why not "Dawn Throne"?
——So, it seems that "Throne of Dusk" is not impossible.
——Then I vote for "Duck Throne".
Snap! Sherlock slapped his forehead hard, slapping back these nonsense words that came from unknown attributes.
"...?" Melina looked at Sherlock doubtfully for a few seconds, then reached out and handed the cat over.
"I'm not greedy for cats, it's just..."
In the middle of his words, Sherlock realized that it was difficult to explain, so he touched Xia Lagel's head:
"Well, it feels good."
"【Meow!】"
————
"[Hmph, come with me, Rumi's king's land is right here.]" Even though he had been trying to tidy up for a long time, Xia Lagel still had a lot of fluff and disheveled hair on his body and glanced at the sneer of Sherlock.
Melina and Melina, who were still unfinished, headed towards a mountain wall near the sea on the edge of Rumi Village.
.
Not long ago, Sherlock, thinking he had the answer, asked Melina where he should become king, but he got the answer "Ask the cat".
At that time, Xia Lagel was...
"The land of kings?" Sherlock tried to change the subject.
"[To put it simply, it is Rumi's 'King City',"" the white cat said without looking back: "[That mansion does not have the conditions to manifest a 'throne'.]"
"oh……"
Sherlock responded casually, swallowing the question "Isn't that a cliff over there?"
Although he didn't stay in Rumi for a long time, he still knew the general structure and terrain clearly. However, since the cats have spoken, it is reasonable for anything unusual to happen.
Then, in front of him, Shalager "passed" through a stone wall on the honey-like backing - this scene was all too familiar to both Hogwarts students and a "Faded One".
[There is something hidden in the front] Right.
Sherlock was very confident and walked straight through with Melina who didn't express anything about it.
Then, the scene changed drastically. Behind the mountain wall, there was a valley with rugged rocks, filled with gray mist, making the rocks and trees look very scary. The most eye-catching thing was the strange sky, which was
There are no stars at all
, the sky was completely dark, but a huge crack that was aligned with the direction of the canyon lay across the sky, emitting a cold light blue light downwards.
Not only is this not Rumi, it may even no longer be the world of Behem.
"[A Line of Sky]," Melina looked up and looked up: "It is not an 'abyss'."
Whose abyss is in the sky?
"[Of course not,]" Xia Lagel said while leading the way: "[This is the opening where those 'sand grains' fell.]"
It turns out that this is the case, so those "sand worlds" will take off on their own initiative after being saved and stick to the sky "outside". They want to "return back the same way", but they don't know that they are no longer in their original space.
Sherlock followed the little white cat all the way through the canyon, and finally arrived at its end, a valley clearing with a shallow stream flowing through it. In the middle of the clearing, a very unfamiliar bonfire was burning quietly.
He stared at it for a while, and then realized for some strange reason that there was no spiral sword inserted by Melina on it.
"[First Fire.]" Melina looked at it.
"[Yes,]" Xia Lagel sat down by the campfire and scratched his chin with his hind legs: "[The reason why you haven't found the 'First Fire' even though you searched all over Behem is because it's not there at all.]"
"Does every king have to be crowned next to the First Fire?" Sherlock raised his eyebrows: "It's not easy to find here." "[The king who only occupies a single throne will naturally not use it, but you plan to occupy three thrones at the same time, or maybe
All seven must be here," the little white cat replied: "[A king who is not recognized by the 'First Fire' is just a bandit.
Just the boss.】"
"What's the specific method?" Sherlock looked at Melina and then at Xia Rager.
"Build a house wherever you like."/"[Build a royal city]".
The two people (?) said in unison.
"..." The little white cat looked at Melina, then turned around and started licking her fur to show that she was giving up the right to speak.
"At least you need a building with a roof and a chair," Melina continued: "Just sit on the chair, face the bonfire, and then declare yourself the king of a certain throne."
"So simple?" Sherlock was a little skeptical, mainly wondering how those who claimed to be kings could know the throne they occupied.
"[When they become kings, they usually praise themselves with a long list of things, and there will always be one or two words that match.]" Xia Lagel stopped licking his fur and replied casually.
...Those words starting with D are really not easy to match.
"So, I want to build a house from the foundation? Can I use magic?" Sherlock looked at the large open space around Chu Huo and spread his hands.
"[Unfortunately, it's not possible, but you can use tools.]"
As Shalager spoke, he opened his mouth and spit out a mining pick that was at least three times larger than itself, defying the laws of physics.
No, wait?
Boom, boom, boom.
The little white cat kept talking and spit out various civil engineering tools such as axes, hammers and saws.
