"Lord Zacharias, Hannie, you are here." Olivia showed a happy smile.
"Olivia, you did a great job." Tebitha Zachariah was a witch who was completely hidden under a hood and cloak. After seeing Olivia, she opened her hood and cloak.
cap.
In Quines' view, Lord Zachariah's face was too soft and beautiful, without any majesty of an adult at all. His long black hair, like Quines's, was tied up behind his back in a gentle and simple manner.
If Tebitha Zechariah is as gentle as water, then the female swordsman standing behind Tebitha with a sword on her back and covered in leather armor can only be described as sharp. When Quines appeared in front of her, she was stunned.
The dazzling sharpness slashed Quines from top to bottom from both eyes, making Quines feel chills.
"These two are the Bayonetta Dodd and Baron Quince Dodd you mentioned in the report." After exchanging a few words with Olivia, Tebitha looked at Quinn.
Si and Bayonetta.
"Sir Zacharias, Quince Dodd greets you." Quince stepped forward to salute. For a legendary powerhouse, necessary respect is indispensable. Bayonetta also followed Quince to salute silently.
.
"No need to be too polite, we haven't even thanked you for bringing us a great seedling, Beb Mehanin." Tebitha looked at Bayonetta next to Quins: "And, you passed on
The intelligence prevented us from being caught off guard by Wan She. Unfortunately, even so, Bebu Mehanin still..."
Quines was silent, and Olivia immediately stepped forward and said: "Quinnes, let me introduce you. This is Beb Mehanin Order 6 Gentle Light Tebitha Zachariah. This is
Order 12 Sword of Sighs Hannie Vanessa."
After the two sides introduced each other, Quins asked: "Isn't Bayonetta going this time?"
"Bayonetta's strength is still a bit weak, so she will stay here and wait for us in the next few days." Olivia replied.
"That's fine." Quins didn't worry about Bayonetta. Since he wasn't going in, it was the best thing. He just gave her the content of Nightmare Fire Level 4 a few days ago, so she could get familiar with it in her free time.
Seeing that the two parties were already familiar with each other, Moira led the four people to another place, a place similar to an elevator.
In the large elevator, five people slowly descended along the elevator. After a period of darkness, the transparent glass elevator in front of Quins became bright.
The first thing that caught Quins' eyes was the blazing sun suspended in mid-air. Light and heat filled the entire underground space all the time. Then Quins saw a regular circular dark forest below.
Looking down from above, it seems that you can see the weird black airflow rotating counterclockwise in the center of the dark forest. It can be clearly seen that the circular forest is clearly divided into eight concentric circles from the outside to the inside.
Under the endless light and heat, wisps of evaporated black air hovered stubbornly above the forest, unwilling to go away for a long time.
"This little sun in the sky is Lord Narashiphi's sun clone, suppressing the Gazmi Land below." Moira looked at Quins and introduced: "The Gazmi Land is the forest below.
It has a diameter of 8 miles, with a diameter of 1 mile as the limit, and is divided into 8 levels from outside to inside, corresponding to the danger levels of extraordinary beings from 1 to 8."
"Generally speaking, Pal Shengwa will not grant access to levels 7-8." Moira said.
"Why?" Quins asked curiously. Among the five people in this scene, he might be the only one who doesn't know the reason.
"Because the Gazmi Land is like a living creature. It attracts and devours all foreign objects and turns them into nutrients for its own evolution. It is said that the Gazmid Land has been only a level 1 mysterious place for a long time, and it is inconspicuous.
, it evolved to its current level by relying on devouring. However, although the Gazimi evolved by devouring, it also has a shortcoming. If it evolves to a high level, then the low- and middle-level peripheral parts will transform after devouring foreign objects.
The efficiency of nutrition will be very low. The Witches Guild relies on this characteristic to let some witches go in every year to clean up the low- and middle-level weirdness, so as to achieve the purpose of degenerating the land of Gazmi."
"So that's it." Quins suddenly said: "But after so many years, how has the cleaning effect been?"
Moira shook her head: "It's not easy to clean up inside. There are successes and failures. Although there are low and mid-level fading effects, as long as someone dies inside, part of the cleaning work will be in vain."
"In this case, aren't your casualties in Parshengwa very serious?" Quines asked doubtfully. In his feeling, witches do not have an advantage in numbers.
Moira chuckled: "Of course we can't sacrifice our fellow sisters in the association. You will know later."
Soon, the elevator reached the ground. When he stepped out of the elevator, Quines noticed that Tebitha Zacharias put her hood back on her head, and a shadow covered Zacharias' face.
.
After walking out of the elevator, Quins knew why Tebitha Zachariah had covered her face. Not far away, he saw two people separated by a distance, silently waiting for something. When they saw
The five Quins came out and turned their eyes over in unison.
"Demon hunter, believer of winter." Quins raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly saw the other's origins from their clothes.
"Paul Hamilton of the Witcher Guild, I have met your lord."
"Clement Birrell of the Church of Winter, I have met the Lord."
The moment Paul Hamilton and Clement Birrell saw Tebitha Zachariah, they immediately walked forward quickly.
After Moira came up and introduced the two parties, she said: "Hamilton and Birrell will follow Lord Zachariah into the Gazimi Land until the sixth floor."
So that's it, Quins suddenly realized. He knew what Moira meant when she said she would know it later. It turns out that there will be outside forces entering the Azmi land to help clean up. No, it shouldn't be to help clean up, but to help clean up.
It's only right to enter the land of Gazmi to look for mysterious materials. The unique mysterious materials in the land of Gazmi are very attractive to many extraordinary people.
This is actually the same as the forest witch that Quins visited before. It also uses certain benefits to attract certain groups to achieve its goals. Then Quins thought of Tebitha Zachariah.
This person concealed his identity, obviously not wanting to expose his whereabouts. Showing his face in front of Quins showed that he trusted Quins, but there was no need to do so in front of others.
Of course, these two people did not come specifically to clear the way for Quins and others, but they wanted to have a backer and a necessary support before entering the sixth floor through the power of Tabetha Zacharias.
Guarantee, in turn, Quins and others can use these two people to relieve some of the pressure. After all, Tebitha Zachariah needs to retain her strength and will not take action unless she can. It can be said that both parties are a win-win situation.
After getting to know each other, Moira led everyone to the edge of the Gazmi Land. From here, the Gazmi Land was full of lush birds and flowers, and there was no trace of the weirdness that Quins had seen from the air before.
elephant.
Moira didn't waste any time. A fire crow was summoned and hit the edge of the forest with blazing heat. It was like burning a hole in the center of a piece of paper, and a circle of black ashes spread toward the edge.
Under Quines's eyes of the void, under the forest of singing birds and fragrant flowers is a piece of rotten and strange black dead trees. An invisible black whirlwind shrouds the edge of the forest, and the flaming crow cleverly burns holes in a certain node of the whirlwind.
He could imagine that if someone entered the forest recklessly, the consequences would not be pleasant.
"Hurry in, this entrance only has ten seconds." Moira said.
Hannie Vanessa, the Sighing Sword who was behind Tebitha Zachariah, was the first to move. Quins didn't even see how the witch who had never said a word from the beginning to the end got in.
Yes, I felt a flash of a figure in my eyes, and there was no trace of Hannie Vanessa.
Then Olivia, the demon hunter Paul Hamilton, the Winter Disciple Clement Birrell, Quins, and finally Tebitha Zachariah entered through the entrance of the cave one after another.
As soon as he entered the forest, Quins immediately felt a chill coming over him. Quins couldn't help but shiver, and then a sense of comfort that made him relax his vigilance hit his heart. If it weren't for his Eye of the Void,
, the strange overlapping of the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers with corruption kept him alert all the time, maybe he was really deceived by this illusion.
Olivia whispered: "Be careful, don't be fooled by the feeling on your body."
After saying that, Olivia took a step forward and said, "Let's go, let's go find the Upside Down Book of Nature."
As Olivia said this, she walked in a random direction. The demon hunter Hamilton and the Winter believer Birrell looked at each other and walked in tacit agreement behind Olivia, followed by Zachariah.
Afterwards, Quins walked behind Zacharias on the left, and Hannie Vanessa, the Sword of Sighs, remained the same, standing behind Zacharias on the right.
The six of them walked in silence, no one said anything. Finally, Quins couldn't help but ask Olivia: "Why are we looking for the Upside Down Book of Nature?"
This time, it was not Olivia who answered, but the demon hunter walking in front of Quins who said: "Because the upside-down book of nature is the entrance to the next level of Gazmi. Don't look at Gazmi."
Each layer of the earth is only one mile in diameter, but if you can't find the Upside Down Book of Nature, you will always be able to wander around this layer."
Quins nodded clearly, and then carefully looked at the demon hunter Hamilton walking in front of him. After entering the Gazmi Land, Hamilton cautiously pulled out an old double-barreled shotgun from behind.
, from Quines's perspective, this is a level 6 rare item. Although it looks old, it is well maintained.
The fully armed hunting suit is also like a double-barreled shotgun. It is a bit old, but it is by no means cheap. The medicine bag on the left waist is neatly arranged with a small amount of secret medicine, and only a little bit of the bottle is exposed at the mouth of the tube.
Mouth. Although the brown hair shawl is clean, it looks very dry, making this person look more old-fashioned and calm.
Based on the previous impression of his face, the overall impression given to Quins is that of an experienced middle-aged sixth-level demon hunter.
"Why is it called the Upside Down Book of Nature?" This name is very strange.
Demon Hunter Hamilton was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't know the details very well. I only know that there is an upside-down book of nature on each floor. From the appearance, it looks like a book that has been scribbled upside down by a child.
It’s very inconspicuous. But if you want to enter the next level, you must read the above content, and you must pay attention to guard against mysterious pollution. If you are not determined, I advise you to go back now to avoid becoming a part of this forest.”
Quins nodded silently. Don't worry, as you enter layer by layer, the mysterious pollution in the upside-down book of nature will inevitably become stronger and stronger, turning you into nutrients for the land of Gazmi without even realizing it.
Just as Quins was thinking, a dark wind suddenly hit him from behind his head.
Quins' heart moved. The water element puppet lurking on his body turned into a water shield behind him. A living fresh branch was tightly entangled in the water shield, and was then dragged in front of Quins.
In the Eye of the Void, this fresh and tender branch is actually a rotten branch with black air attached to it, struggling desperately to be restrained by the water shield.
"Be careful, don't touch this branch, just crush it." Demon hunter Hamilton noticed the movement behind him and reminded him as if he knew Quins's movements.
"Thank you," Quins thanked him, and immediately controlled the water element puppet to crush the branches in front of him into powder. As the branches shattered, the black gas attached to them turned into wisps of smoke and floated into the air, and was then absorbed by the surrounding dry matter.
The tree absorbs.
Quins's heart moved slightly. This weird thing was essentially nothing. It just returned to the entire forest. Sure enough, no mysterious place is simple.
After that, Quins encountered many such attacks. He tried to use his own abilities to annihilate the black energy, but it had little effect. Except for him, everyone encountered attacks to one degree or another.
However, they were only at the first level and did not pose much of a threat to everyone. Zachariah, on the other hand, was blocked by Hannie Vanessa, the Sword of Sighs, from the beginning to the end.
This turn lasted half an hour. Even though Quins was mentally prepared, he also became a little impatient, because the six of them were just trying their luck and turning around. In Olivia's words, they wanted to encounter the upside down nature.
This is the only way.
Finally, at thirty-five minutes, a book of nature hanging upside down on the tree appeared.
In Quines' eyes, this upside-down book of nature is woven from pages of leaves. The leaves are dark green, which is incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere of birds and flowers, but it also has a strange sense of harmony. In Quines' inspiration, this
This upside-down book of nature seems to be non-existent in the air. If you don’t look at it with the naked eye, you would never imagine that there is a book in this place.
Then it was time to read, and Hannie Vanessa, the Sword of Sighs, was still the first to take the upside-down book of nature.
I saw Hanni Vanessa picking up the upside-down nature book upside down, flipping through the first page, and reading the content on the first page word by word. Just when Hanni Vanessa saw the first page
After the last word of the last line, the page spontaneously ignited, and a strange black fire ignited, immediately attached to Hanni Vanessa's entire body, and burned Hanny Vanessa to ashes in less than a second.
If Quins hadn't been informed of the details in advance, he would have been really shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Olivia, the witcher Hamilton, and the Winter Believer Birrell picked up the upside-down book of nature and started reading, and then were burned to ashes like Hanni Vanessa.
It is worth mentioning that not everyone holds the Book of Nature upside down, but comes in the order of holding it upside down, holding it upright, and holding it upside down. If someone among them messes up the order, then it will be a problem.
It was fun to watch.
These rules have been explored by the Witches Guild over a long period of time.
