Endless Debt

When Boluogo walked out of the darkness and his vision returned to light, a strange feeling of nausea emerged from his heart, a familiar and strange feeling.

Church on the side also had the same feeling, and his face became a little pale. Only Vonn still looked calm, with a faint smile on his face.

"Is this a...winding door?"

Boluogo immediately realized what had just happened. What the few people passed through was not an ordinary door, but a winding door.

The key of the winding path can open a door to a fixed location at any position, which is extremely convenient. The door of the winding path is different. The door of the winding path is fixed point-to-point. For this reason, the stability is much stronger than the key of the winding path. , can run for a long time.

Hidden deep in the castle is just a winding door. Now only Vonn knows where they are. They may still be in Morrowind Stronghold, or they may have been far away from the castle complex and are somewhere unknown in the Windy Highlands. Area.

"Just some simple tricks."

Fuen's voice was very soft, for fear of waking up the ghosts sleeping here.

"According to records, there are many similar designs in King Solomon's sacred city of Raymond Gaiton. The winding path gates are mixed in with the ordinary gates. People who don't know all this will only end up walking in if they enter rashly. In an endless maze full of traps.”

Mentioning the Holy City, Vonn's eyes showed a look of obsession, "I have been to the Abandoned Land and looked at the ruins of the city from the Desperate Outpost... What a beautiful ruin."

"I have always thought that the sacred city is a miracle that the alchemist can build... no, it is a miracle that the extraordinary world can build, but it was destroyed like this."

Vonn made no secret of his admiration for King Solomon and his great creation, "One of the great regrets in my life is that I was born too late. I really want to witness the existence of that city with my own eyes, even if I see it destroyed by war. That’s fine.”

"I have witnessed it with my own eyes," Bologg nodded in agreement. "It is indeed a fascinating city, even if I was only on the outskirts of the city, even if it was already in flames at the time."

Vonn looked envious, "Oh? Then you are really lucky."

Bologg didn't say much about this. The city that fascinated Vonn was the beginning of Bologg's dark destiny.

"Speaking of which, Serei was also there when the Holy City fell."

Suddenly, Vonn's words affected Boluogo's mind, and his progress was halted. His green eyes stared at Vonn's back.

"At that time, the Dawn War had ended many years ago. Sere had already settled in the Undead Club and wasted his long years. In order to have fun, he watched the fall of the Holy City and witnessed the destruction of the Holy City with his own eyes."

Vonn raised his hands and gently pushed away the air with a light tone.

"One light."

A light shattered the boundary between heaven and earth, summoning brimstone and fire. All incoming enemies turned into pillars of salt and stood tall.

Boluogo asked, "What happens next?"

"There is no more. Sere kept silent about what happened next. I have also searched for relevant information in the Bureau of Order, but it seems like someone is deliberately hiding it, and I found nothing."

Vonn suddenly stopped and turned to look at Boluogo, "The strangest thing is that even though I have now become the head of the Clerks family and have power and power, I still don't know any information related to it. "

"I sound like a failure as the head of the family, right?"

Vonn laughed at himself, "I can't help it. I'm just the spokesperson of the Clerks family. The real decision still needs to be made by them."

Bologo soon knew who "they" Vonn was referring to.

As he went deeper into the wind cellar, the sound of howling wind became clearer and clearer from behind the wall, and a sense of fullness from the inside out lingered in Boluoge's heart. Although the secret energy was not mobilized, Boluogo's eyes couldn't help but There was a glow of ether, and the alchemical matrix on his body also lit up.

Not just him, but Church too.

The bright alchemy matrix roughly covered Church's whole body. The pattern was not complicated, and there were still large blanks in many areas. Based on the complexity of the alchemy matrix, Boluogo judged that Church should also be at the level of a believer.

As for Vonn, he is different from the two of them. The ether is surrendered under his control, and there is no "initiation phenomenon" on the surface of his body.

Basekeeper? Or the Glorious One?

Boluogo had no way of judging Vonn's power, but he was certain that Vonn's power must be far greater than that of the person who had lost the power.

"The ether concentration here is a bit too high."

Church waved his hand, and like ripples on the water's surface, bursts of glowing ripples appeared out of thin air, then calmed down and dissipated.

The high concentration of ether filled the space, causing Boluogo and Church to passively awaken the alchemical matrix even if they did not actively resonate.

The sound of gurgling water sounded, and there was a sunken water channel on the edge of the masonry. Golden liquid ether flowed through it and submerged into the darkness. In addition to the sound of wind, there was a constant sound of dripping water behind the wall, and light rain fell. Non-stop.

Boluogo said, "Maintaining this high-concentration ether environment for a long time should be a big burden on the Klex family, right?"

“It’s ‘natural’ here.”

Vonn explained, "Just like the Raging Sea, this is also an ether vortex point. The Klex family discovered this place many years ago and transformed it into what it is today. As long as it is covered with a simple alchemical matrix, this place It can continue to cycle on its own, and its operating life is measured in millennia."

Just like the vortex on the water surface, there are many natural vortex points in this world. A large amount of ether will gather together independently, and the high concentration of ether will squeeze each other, forming a supernatural phenomenon similar to the angry sea.

"I hope the next scene won't scare you."

Vonn said and opened another door. From then on, the heart of the Clerks family was completely exposed in front of the two of them.

A golden light shone overhead, and the ether concentration reached its peak here. Golden water droplets continued to precipitate in the air, flying like dust, gathering together, turning into raindrops and falling, and thus circulated in this closed space. Inside, there was a never-ending drizzle.

Raindrops do not react with any substance. Even if they fall on the surrounding bookshelves, they will not stain the books. They will slide down one after another as if they come into contact with a smooth mirror surface.

This looks like a huge collection room, with bookshelves stacked up on the outer edge, and many collections placed below. Most of them are alchemical weapons. The metal surface exudes a halo, and there are many At first glance, it was a priceless work of art. Piles of gold coins filled the gaps between the works of art. If Bologo saw it correctly, it should be Mammon coins.

Boluogo was not distracted by these wealth. His eyes fell on the real wealth in the wind cellar, the many books covered in dust on the bookshelves. They split history into countless pieces, and they are here again. Pieced together.

The wind cellar seemed to be aware of the guest's arrival, and then the stacked bookshelves quickly expanded and surrounded it like the steps of a gladiatorial arena.

This is a virtual domain, and the space of the virtual domain is rapidly expanding, showing its true appearance in front of a few people.

As the space completely unfolded, Boluogo discovered that there were many chairs scattered among the bookshelves. There was a figure sitting on each chair. They were wearing golden masks and bright red robes rolled around their bodies. Go up and outline the figure.

They were shriveled and decayed bodies, like mummies that had decayed over time. They should be dead, but in this high-concentration ether environment, the flesh broke free from the shackles of mortal nature, and from the exposed slender arms You can find this out.

The fragile skin is like white jade, with no trace of blood underneath, and only a flowing golden glow. During these long years, their bodies have already undergone large-scale etherification and transformed into pure energy. Now, The body is just the embodiment of ether.

In this way that can be compared to cheating, they escaped the scythe of death and survived in the shadow of the years, but it was just an elusive existence. After all, they were unable to undergo a complete etherification and retained the mortal parts of their bodies.

The etheric part is not affected by time, but the mortal part will one day completely decay and die, and that is their death date. Fortunately, this high-concentration ether environment can postpone the death date indefinitely.

Vonn crossed his hands in front of him and stood in front of Church and Boluogo, waiting quietly. After a few minutes, the glow of ether ignited under the golden mask, and the withered body slowly raised his head, his eyes People came from all directions, staring at Vonn.

"Seniors..."

Fuen whispered, and the music touched the ether, turning into bursts of thunder.

The elders agreed with a weak arc, their chests and throats did not rise and fall at all, but the simple voices just sounded out of thin air.

"good……"

The virtual domain of the wind cellar began to shrink, and the stacked bookshelves overlapped again, and even the figures of the elders disappeared.

Everything disappeared, like a waking dream, but after the trance, a bright light appeared in a corner of the bookshelf, as if guiding everyone.

Vonn stepped forward, took out the heavy book, placed it on the old table, wiped away the dust on the surface, and the words "Dawn Oath" came into view.
