Dozens of demon hunters, including the "normal demon hunters" who had been captured by the Elder Order into the spiritual clock tower as well as senior members of the Elder Order themselves, sat neatly on both sides of the long table, motionless and silent.
The words were frozen there blankly like a puppet. The scene was extremely strange. But Andahel turned a blind eye to this scene. She walked into the hall naturally, looked around slowly, and then found a seat at the long table to sit down.
Go down.
Then nothing happened.
"Are they..." Lily carefully slipped into the hall and waved her hands in front of the demon hunters who were sitting blankly. However, no one responded, "Are they having an out-of-body experience?"
The weird atmosphere at the scene made everyone alert. Hao Ren asked the data terminal to adjust the early warning radar to the most sensitive state, and followed Lily tightly with his spear in hand. He passed by a demon hunter from the religious sect.
He looked to be of high class. Not only was his collar decorated with silver, but there were additional heraldic embroideries on the collar and cuffs. This was a mark only seen by masters or elders. This high-level demon hunter lowered his head slightly.
Hao Ren turned his head and his empty eyes fell on the candlestick not far from the table. Hao Ren reached out and patted his shoulder. The latter swayed slightly and seemed to turn his eyes to look over his shoulder, but then quickly turned again.
go back.
"Their souls seem to be imprisoned deep in their consciousness, and their perception is separated from the outside world." The data terminal buzzed around the long table, checking the status of each demon hunter, "Well... there are some more
There are other inconsistencies, but it will take some time to analyze."
"This is...Elder Luci Vidal," Bai Huo came up behind Hao Ren, "the senior trainer of the Elder Order. He is stationed at the Spirit Realm Bell Tower all year round and is responsible for conveying the instructions of the saints and organizing training for saints and demons.
meeting."
"Andahel mentioned the seminar," Hao Ren nodded slightly. "So what are these people doing here? I'm talking about normal conditions."
"The saints possess the knowledge of ancient times and the ancient witchcraft that has been lost. In order to prevent these things from being lost, they have to pass on the knowledge. However, due to the pollution of forbidden mysteries, low-level demon hunters who directly listen to the voices of the saints will be eroded.
and curse. So every once in a while, the saints will summon the most powerful demon hunters to teach a small amount of knowledge, and then let them pass it on to their apprentices." Bai Huo explained seriously, "The wisdom of the saints is vast and far away.
It exceeds the limit that the brain structure of ordinary creatures can bear, so they will only choose some suitable things to teach future generations according to their needs, so seminars are often held."
"So this is the scene of a certain Holy Demon seminar. If everything goes well," Hao Ren said. He wiped it on the long table casually, "Huh?"
He was surprised to find a lot of dust on his fingers, and when he looked carefully, he saw a thick layer of dust accumulated on the long table.
"The Spirit World Clock Tower was cut off from the outside world just one day ago?" He looked at Yzaks not far away.
"This is what the scout reported," Yzaks nodded, "What did you find?"
Hao Ren pointed to the dust on the table: "According to the density of airborne matter measured by the terminal, it will take at least seven or eight days for the dust to accumulate to this level. Unless the Presbyterian Order went crazy and no one ever cleaned the house again, otherwise the tower would
This 'ghost' state has probably lasted for more than a week."
Lily blinked: "Many of the smells on the first floor of the clock tower are 'new', and the clock tower gatekeeper's room also looks like it has just been tidied up. It doesn't look like it has been left there for a long time."
"So has this happened since the second floor..." Hao Ren frowned slightly. He looked at the head of the long table. If it was a seminar, then that seat should be the seat of Saint Bedolis. But now there was only one empty table.
The leader of the Holy Demon Seminar is not here. The demon hunters in the room are just "listening to the teachings" in the air. "Saint Bedolis... Andahel still remembers this name in a state of chaos."
, so this person named Bedolis should have some connection with the current situation."
At this time, a demon hunter who was responsible for checking the surrounding situation suddenly shouted: "There is a road here!"
Hao Ren ran over to check the situation. He saw that behind a huge ancient stone sculpture, a hole was cracked in the wall, big enough for two people to pass side by side. Opposite the big hole was a dimly lit corridor. Elizabeth raised her head and looked into the corridor.
He glanced at it: "There seems to be a hall opposite. Where does this lead to?"
Tutain's voice was a little uncertain for the first time: "...I don't know now. The structure of the spiritual clock tower has become very strange. In fact, even the room in front of us should not be in this position... These
The illogical path only appeared this time."
When Tutanin said this, the little devil Elizabeth had already jumped into the big hole in the wall and strolled towards the depths of the dark and deep corridor: "It's okay, it's okay.
.I didn’t feel any danger~”
"This naughty kid..." Hao Ren muttered, and could only quickly follow him.
Tutanin looked back at the dozens of demon hunters who were standing silently on both sides of the long table, as if they were ghosts. He left a few soldiers to look after the situation here, and then got in with the rest of the people.
into the big hole in the wall.
The interior of the Spirit Realm Clock Tower is completely chaotic, and the route he roughly judged before may no longer be very reliable. In this case, there is no need to worry about the direction. Any entrance that pops up suddenly is
Worth exploring.
Elizabeth held up a fireball as big as a basin to illuminate and clear the way in front of her. The little devil girl didn't think there was anything scary about this eerie and weird place at all. She walked and jumped around as if she was on an outing. Next to her,
Yzaks and Hao Ren were quite cautious, and were always on the lookout for monsters or monsters that would suddenly pop out of any nook and cranny along the way.
But in the end, the journey was uneventful. After passing through a long corridor, what appeared in front of everyone was a place that looked like a large library.
The extremely vast hall stretches out endlessly in all directions. Huge bookshelves are arranged like towering city walls. The bookshelves display ancient books and scrolls that are even older than human history. Between these vast books,
, you can see many stone platforms floating in the air. Tables, chairs, furniture and copying tools are placed on those platforms, which are obviously prepared for visitors to the library.
Hao Ren and the others entered this solemn and majestic place from the gloomy corridor, and they were all stunned.
"Library?" Tutan Yin was surprised, "...I didn't expect it to be connected to this place..."
Vivian asked curiously: "Is there anything special about the library?"
"The library is 'outside' the spirit world clock tower. It is a space that we can't explain the least clearly. We have tried to draw a structural diagram of the spirit world clock tower. Although most of the building areas have weird connection patterns, at least they are all connected.
The only thing that can be roughly placed within the scope of the bell tower is the library. Its entrance will appear between the fourth and tenth floors according to a certain pattern, and the passage behind each entrance cannot lead to the tower from the spatial structure.
Some of the facilities will extend straight outside the clock tower in the spiritual world, sometimes even a straight corridor several kilometers long. So we have always thought that the library is a closed space floating outside the clock tower in the spiritual world. Due to a certain
Due to this mapping rule, its entrance is limited to certain floors inside the clock tower. According to the rule, the entrance to the library will only appear above the fourth floor, but it popped up here... In other words, even
Is there something wrong with this most basic mapping rule?"
Tutanin walked forward while talking about various secrets of this wonderful library: "...This room has incredible power. The longer you stay here, the sharper your thinking will be, and even
It will produce some perceptions and understanding abilities that are beyond physical experience. Before this kind of transcendent perception overwhelms your nervous system, you can easily understand the most difficult and mysterious knowledge. Therefore, we put away the most profound and difficult books.
Here, only master-level witchers and above can get the qualification to browse the books in the library, and even master witchers cannot stay here for more than two days at most."
"I like coming here very much," Bai Huo suddenly said softly, "I can stay here all day long."
Tutanin said smoothly: "I know you often bring comic books in secretly to read."
As soon as these words came out, Hao Ren, Vivian and others were stunned. They all looked at Bai Huo in disbelief. Lily stared: "You still look at that thing?"
"Can't a demon hunter have some personal hobbies?" Bai Huo turned his head away in embarrassment, "This is the quietest place in the spirit world clock tower, and once I start reading, the instructor won't be talking next to me...
…”
Tutanin shook his head: "If he knew you had the comics in the potion collection, he would definitely talk about you all day long."
What else could Hao Ren say? I can only say that the life of a demon hunter in reality is indeed rich and colorful, and it is not the same style as in fantasy stories...
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure flashing past the bookshelves in the distance. (To be continued.)
