Platinum Throne

The drowsy sky is deep and light red, and I don't know if it is the color of the sky, or it is affected by the heavy clouds hanging over the sky.

Large swaths of cloudy clouds piled down, and large blocks of deep and light red piled up together.It makes people feel extremely depressed, the clouds in the sky seem to have just been filled with blood, so thick that it will rain blood at any time.

The wind picked up.

The smell of gunpowder smoke and the whistling of the high-speed rotating wind blades immediately scraped the already barren ground into ravines.

"Where are we...?" Caroline looked at the sky, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.Her waist was firmly held by Norma, holding her body that was about to crumble at any time.Norma pulled out a robe and wrapped it around Caroline's body.

The wind made a sharp whining sound around the two of them, but when it got close to Norma's side, it became miraculously gentle.The illusory crown on Norma's head has never disappeared, and the authority of the elemental monarch has been affecting the surrounding elements.

"The wind elementals are very irritable." Norma replied, she stretched out her finger, and a light wind blew around her fingertips immediately, and the wind elementals surrounded Norma flatteringly, telling her how she felt.

"They are oppressed, enslaved, and express their anger anytime and anywhere." Norma felt it, she let go of her hand, and the wind elements gently bypassed them and returned to their companions.

"The elements here communicate better than on the main continent," Norma said.

"The main continent...?" Caroline listened to her mentor, and she suddenly had a not-so-good guess.

And her mentor quickly affirmed her idea: "This is the Abyss Realm."

"The abyss..." Caroline murmured, taking a breath.

She looked around, the surrounding scenery was desolate and depressing, and the layers of red really made her feel a little familiar-as one of the most common scenes in dreams, where she and her mentor had absurd affairs, this was a matter of course.

It's just that the dream is just a dream, and Caroline would never have imagined that one day she would step into this plane herself... Of course, there might still be such a day, but not now.

"Us, how do we get out?" Caroline looked at Norma anxiously.

Norma was silent for a moment, then replied, "Let's find Styx first."

It is said that the shape of the Abyss Realm is like an upside-down bamboo hat, with a total of twenty layers.Each layer is narrower than the previous layer, so creatures are more competitive and resources are scarcer.This is the reason why the aggressiveness and combat power of the creatures from the abyss far exceed those on the main continent.

The never-ending river of Styx flows continuously from the first floor to the bottom of the abyss.The low-level unconscious dead and the low-level earth dragons wandered around. They occupied the first three floors of the abyss world. Of course, occasionally there were special purpose and lost high-level undead wandering here.They are the type that necromancers most look forward to summoning.The first three levels are usually the planes that can be summoned by dark spells and necromancers, and after the third level, the complexity of the magic circle required for summoning and the magic power requirements for the caster will increase geometrically. .

And from the fourth floor, intelligent creatures began to appear gradually, such as abyssal beings, demons, flame giants, magic dragons... Each floor has its only ruler.But they collectively call themselves Abyss Demons.

"We have to determine which floor it is first." Norma said, her expression was calm, she looked down at Caroline's slightly pale face, thought for a while, and pulled out a wrinkled word of comfort from her mind , "Think about the good places - at least we are not unfamiliar with this place, and we are very familiar with it, aren't we?"

I suspect you are driving and have ample evidence.Caroline thought blankly, and answered through gritted teeth: "I don't want such familiarity at all."

"Oh..." Norma replied, she glanced at the blush at the corners of Caroline's eyes, and walked forward.In the violent wind, their surroundings always remained as gentle as a spring breeze, not as comfortable as being in the abyss.Caroline just relaxed a little when she heard Norma whispering in her ear, "You don't like the environment here? I remember those few times, you were very happy, especially when there were..."

Her unfinished words were covered by Caroline's hand.Norma blinked her golden eyes, and there seemed to be innocent innocence in those usually cold pupils.But Caroline would no longer be deceived by such an expression, she knew that once she let go of her hand, the other party would frankly say shameful words that made her wish she could scratch the size of a platinum tower with her toes.

"Mentor, I beg you, don't say it." Caroline looked at Norma, her ears were hot, and the corners of her eyes were also hot, for fear that Norma would say something that would make her feel ashamed and annoyed.

Norma blinked, Caroline tentatively let go, Norma coughed lightly: "I thought you would like these words..." As she spoke, she frowned, and repeated it again and again, "No, From my past experience, you do like those words."

"That's on the bed!" Caroline's voice rose from embarrassment.

"...Occasionally, I'm not in bed." Norma seriously stated the facts, trying to reason.

Caroline covered her face: "That...that's different, it's different anyway."

"There was no one around at that time, and there is no one now." Norma's seriousness is well known, her dedication and paranoia to academics are also well known, and her pursuit of truth is unrivaled: "So I think it is the same."

Caroline opened her mouth, leaned against Norma, closed her eyes, and tried to change the subject: "Which floor are we on, can the mentor cross the crystal wall and return to the main continent?"

"Location magic is needed... Well, I remember a few coordinate points. If I'm alone, it should be fine." Norma replied. She looked around and answered every question Caroline asked seriously: " I don't know which floor this is, but from the current point of view, there are no traces of intelligent creatures around, maybe we are on the first four floors."

"This is good news." Caroline quietly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.Then when she looked up, she met Norma's thoughtful eyes.

"I think you're changing the subject."

"No, I don't! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!" Caroline immediately straightened her body and took a step back, but just one step, Norma grabbed Caroline's waist and pulled her back into her own arms.

"Don't stay too far away from me, the wind element here is very violent and will tear you apart."

Caroline snorted, obediently leaning most of her body weight on Norma.Norma looked around and said, "Although I still think your thinking is a bit strange, let's stop that topic for now."

So who the hell keeps bringing it up?

Caroline smiled stiffly: "Of course, I am very willing, my mentor." She looked at Norma and glanced at herself, and there was clearly a bit of unsatisfactory and regret in her eyes.

But Norma quickly looked away: "The authority of the elemental monarch here is more... complete than that of the main continent. I can hear the voice of the wind element in the extreme distance."

When it came to business, Caroline finally regained her sense and calmness. She pondered for a while and asked, "What about the authority of the fire element?"

"It's not complete." Norma closed her eyes and felt for a moment before replying.

"That means the test has not been completed." Caroline frowned, and she looked around, "Or is this an illusion?"

"It's not an illusion. This is a real abyss." Norma answered quickly, and she raised the corners of her lips—a smile that belonged to a succubus, with blurred dreams and seductiveness, "I heard my The call of the bloodline is a call to this land. This is the abyss, the real abyss."

Caroline didn't speak. Looking at Norma's smile, she felt that her heart was losing its rhythm.But she soon woke up from the natural charm of the succubus.She has a paranoid possessive desire for Norma. It is clear that Norma is the same person as a human or a succubus, but Caroline always seems to be able to clearly distinguish that the one she wants to possess is the one with reason. And Norma, who scrutinized with indifference.

She wants to watch the gods fall from the heights, to see the white lotus dyed black, and to paint the white paper with her own hands, not infatuation, temptation, or other desires that arise in an instant for some reason.That desire is really too shallow, like a soap bubble, which bursts with a poke.And her obsession has long been so deep that it has formed an invisible gully, which is difficult to fill.

Caroline lowered her eyes, she thought for a while, and said, "That is to say, which test do we have to find first?" She frowned, "I don't know which level of the abyss the test is on, how do we go down to the next level?" super abyss?"

"Find a way to send you back first." Norma replied calmly, her expression unchanged. "It doesn't matter whether you can't find it or not. The most important thing now is you. The abyss is not suitable for human beings."

Caroline sighed silently as her mentor could always say strange but touching love words.She had no intention of arguing with Norma about it.Whether it is to find a way to go back, or to find the "test" that Shire said, there is still no clue, whoever comes first.Looking at the red surroundings, she felt a little embarrassed: "Where are we going?"

Norma closed her eyes, and after a while, she pointed in one direction: "The wind element told me, go there, there are living things."
