Chapter 975 The Standing Door
"Then what?" Madeline asked curiously.
Brufen shrugged: "After Lord Monkey came, he directly said that a stronghold city could not be built here. And he issued an order that we could pass through here, but we must not stay here for a long time."
"As for what Lord Monkey found, he didn't tell us?"
"Later, many people explored here, but none of them found anything."
Madeline frowned: "Is this what you said more than that? Isn't it the same as before, saying it or not saying it."
"Of course it's more than that. In addition to the disappearance of people, there is actually another detail, which was also mentioned by Guxia's companion just now." Brufen paused.
Angel recalled what the middle-aged man said before, and whispered: "What do you mean, hysterical hallucination?"
Guxia said that he just heard someone calling him at first. But later, Guxia said that he saw the person who called him.
If Sinafa had judged Guxia's situation at that time, he would definitely ask him who he saw. But Sinafa didn't say anything, which shows that the people of the Frost Moon Alliance knew this "caller".
Brufen nodded: "Yes, this situation in Guxia is called irreversible induction marking. We have studied people with induction marking and found that people who are marked have almost no way to escape the fate of disappearance. And these marked people have seen people who called them before they disappeared."
"After some research, it was found that the person they saw before disappearing should be a person wearing a black crow cloak. According to the textual research, this person in the black crow cloak is called Kurondo by the natives of the abyss. He is the guide of death from the bottomless abyss. In short, he is the god of death they believe in."
"The bottomless abyss refers to the inner layer of the abyss, which is the area we dare not set foot in yet. And that Kurondo, according to speculation, may be a disciple of a demon god who controls death."
After Brufen finished speaking, he took out a bottle of rye rum from the space and drank it in big gulps.
After thinking deeply, Madeline said in disbelief: "You mean, this ancient cold ruins is very likely to be related to the abyss... the demon god?"
Brufin spread his hands: "Who knows? Anyway, it's very dangerous there. Since Lord Monchi asked us not to stay for long, there must be a reason for him."
Angel couldn't help asking: "Is there really a ruin there?"
Brufin looked at Angel deeply: "Maybe, but it's best to put away your curiosity. The more you know, it's not necessarily a good thing."
In fact, these things are not particularly secretive, but the reason why Shuangyue concealed them is actually because he was worried about the over-expanded curiosity of some extraordinary people.
Although curiosity is a necessary virtue for wizards, they must also remember to do what they can.
Because curiosity can not only kill a cat, but also very likely kill a group of cats.
It is not a trivial matter when it comes to the bottomless abyss and the demon god.
They did not ask about the topic of the ancient cold ruins anymore, but talked about other things, as if the previous topic had never been discussed at all.
Even though he didn't mention it, Angel was secretly afraid of the ancient cold ruins.
At the same time, he also respected the sages who could open up a stronghold city in the abyss, which was full of dangers.
Madeline and Brufen chatted about all sorts of topics, occasionally mentioning some secrets and rumors, which opened Angel's eyes. However, when they flew out of the ancient cold ruins, their interest in talking began to decline.
For some unknown reason, almost no monsters would go to the ancient cold ruins. But once you leave the ancient cold ruins, it's hard to say what the next journey will be.
After a silent journey, Madeline suddenly asked: "The sheep demons have appeared on the surface. Could it be that Frost Moon has already started a big move?"
Madeline's question made Brufen stunned.
"I'm only responsible for research, I don't know these." Brufen shrugged.
"Huh." Madeline snorted in her nose, as if she didn't believe it, and seemed to be sarcastic. However, Brufen remained calm and did not feel offended at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Whether there is a big move or not, it doesn't matter to you. The purpose of your coming to the abyss is not here anyway."
Madeline's eyes condensed and she looked at Brufen deeply. The two of them tacitly stopped talking about this topic.
All along the way, everyone was worried. With Sinafa's strength greatly reduced, if they encountered a strong enemy like the sheep demon, they would probably find it difficult to resist.
But fortunately, there were no accidents from leaving the Hangu Ruins to the grayscale layer area.
Occasionally, there were monsters invading, but they were all small shrimps. Even the apprentices could clean them up.
Until entering the grayscale layer area, Brufen breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the normal expectation. After all, this is a safe route we have opened up for hundreds of years... Encountering the sheep demon should be just an accident."
The previous six batches of material supply teams, from the surface to the front line, did not encounter any problems, and the team leaders at that time were just ordinary wizards.
Now that Sinafa is here, a little bit of a change has happened.
"Is this the law of luck conservation?" Brufen muttered in a low voice, "Whatever strength you have, you should bear the corresponding variables? Because Sinafa's strength is too high, the positive variables reached the extreme value, which led to the sheep demon... Now that Sinafa's strength has decreased, it has made the journey smoother."
The pseudo-knowledge popularization mentioned by Brufen was directly ignored by Madeleine and Angel.
What Angel is more concerned about now is, what does the grayscale overlay area look like?
He had read a lot of information before and knew that the abyss was divided into two areas, the outer and inner areas. The outer third layer was also called the periphery of the abyss, which was the area where ordinary monsters and aboriginal people lived. As for the inner layer, few humans have set foot there, so there is very little information. The front line they want to go to actually refers to the area outside the abyss near the inner layer.
As for how to cross layers, one of the methods Angel learned is through the grayscale overlay area.
But what I get from the book is only one sentence after all. The real situation can only be known by practicing it and seeing it with your own eyes.
As soon as he entered the grayscale overlay area, Angel felt that the surrounding space energy was extremely active. Logically speaking, overly active energy would definitely disturb the material world.
But the space energy here is very strange. Although it can make you feel its activity, it seems to be restrained by something, preventing it from becoming a wild horse and preventing instability from causing space cracks.
The biggest feature is the plants on the surface.
There are actually more plants here than in the Hangu ruins, and their growth is not bad at all. If the space is really unstable, there will be absolutely no plants.
"If you are a wizard of the space system, you will probably gain a lot here." Angel muttered in a low voice.
"In fact, it's not the case. If wizards of the space system want to harvest, they must at least analyze the space energy. The space energy here seems to be everywhere, but you can't analyze it because they are bound by the cross-layer door. Unless it is A high-level wizard from the space system may be able to forcefully analyze it, but the result will be that the cross-layer door here completely dissipates." Madeline explained to Angel after hearing him mutter.
Angel was a little embarrassed. Sure enough, he still took it for granted.
Putting away the panic in his heart, Angel asked: "The cross-layer door is where we enter the second layer of the abyss?"
"It's not the second level of the abyss, but go directly to the third level of the abyss." Madeline paused: "The surface of the abyss is very large, and I'm afraid it's not much bigger than the Southern Territory. There are many ways to enter the inner layer. There are ways to enter from other places. The second floor method, and the cross-floor door here can go directly to the third floor.”
When Madeleine said this, she suddenly pointed to the mountains ahead.
"After climbing over this mountain range, you should be able to see the cross-layer door."
Walking all the way to the top of the mountain range, Angel felt a huge and majestic aura coming from the other end of the mountain range before climbing over the mountain. This aura of majesty is very similar to the world will of the wizarding world.
"The source of the energy that binds space is right there."
When he reached the top of the mountain range, Angel looked down, his eyes flashing with surprise.
He thought the cross-layer door was just a decoration. It was said to be a door, but it was actually something else. As a result, it really surprised him that this cross-layer door was really a "door".
This door is more than ten meters high and stands in the clouds and mist of a canyon.
The overall color of the door is black, and the material cannot be seen, but it has a bone-like smoothness. There are carvings of various strange monsters on the facade, including aborigines worshiping fire, gargoyles squatting with their eyes closed, and overwhelming abyss dragons...
The most peculiar thing is that at the top of the door, there is a pair of single eyes shrouded in black mist, staring at the world.
"This...is the cross-level door." Madeleine said with emotion. No matter how many times she saw this door, she could not help but be impressed by its majestic power.
Angel also felt extremely shocked, but he was actually more confused.
"Why does this door stand here, and who stands there? The momentum above is very similar to the will of the world. Could it be installed by the will of the world in the abyss?" Angel's mind was filled with questions one after another.
In this regard, Madeleine's answer was: "Why is there a door? I don't know. As for who stands there, according to some research, it should not be the will of the world, but an ancient demon god in the abyss. The unique figure above the door The eyes are the mark of the ancient demon god."
"That's right." Brufen also stood up at this time and added: "On the outside of the abyss, there are more than one cross-border door, with the mark of this ancient demon god on it."
"Then when we enter the cross-border gate, won't we be under his watch?"
"No, because this ancient demon god has already disappeared in the years."
