Chapter 34: The Abyssal Sea
"The Abyss of Anos?" Joshua repeated the word in a low voice: "Some canyon? How come I've never heard of this place? ”
This is unusual, although Joshua is not qualified as a time-traveler, and there are many things that he can't remember clearly about the setting of the Microf Continent, but if it is related to a large organization like the Church of the Seven, it is impossible for him to forget.

"It's not a canyon...... My fault. ”
Sensing this problem, Lolanda smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Even within the church, few people know about this place, let alone the ...... of the Northern Empire."
Speaking of this, he glanced around, frowned, and said, "The smell here is too pungent...... Let's go up first. ”
The dungeon was indeed not a place to chat, and no one objected to this, and the group ascended the corridor to the church hall.
The mages led by Moore had left, and Joshua could still faintly sense the aftermath of time and space left behind by the teleportation.
Ever since the warrior advanced to the Extreme Intent, his eyes have become more acute, and now, not only the trajectory of energy flow and the fire of life, Joshua can even see the gap in time and space, just like when he was at the bottom of the Great Ajax Volcano, he quickly sensed the natural teleportation channel leading to the world of Irgena, of course, the current warrior is more acute than then.
This is not much different from the [All-Seeing Eye] that the warrior had in his previous life, as long as he has the opportunity to go to the abyss and kill a few Eye Demon Elders, Joshua will be able to gather the materials for the [All-Seeing Ritual], so that all the conspiracies and darkness have nowhere to hide in front of his eyes.
There weren't many worshippers in the church in the morning, but perhaps because they had to deal with the cultists who had been interrogated before, the knights of the church seemed busy, and avoided crowded places, so they randomly found a vacant room, each found a chair to sit down, and then Lolanda began to explain.
"Let's talk about the cultists first, I'll make a long story short."
The paladin was obsessed with the group of cultists he had interrogated before, and his brows furrowed: "Miss No. 3 has arrested more than twenty cultists before this, and they are all obviously subordinate to a cult - the Plague Church, as we all know, the Plague Church and the Five-Colored Dragon Clan have been allied, which is basically certain that the purpose of their coming here should be the derivative of the Dragon Clan's revenge." ”
For this, Joshua nodded, he thought the same, cultists can't cross half the world here for no reason, even if they want to spread panic and plague, they don't need to start from the most corner of the world in the Northlands, but if this is what the five-colored dragon clan asked for revenge, it would be normal.
"But the group of cultists I interrogated earlier are not followers of the Plague Church."
Lolanda continued: "They came from an old blood cult in the Western Mountains, and they came to Moldavia because they heard the 'revelation' of their god, that is, some of the great demons in the abyss. ”
"Apocalypse?"
Before the warrior could react, Atanis spoke early, and he said with a worried face: "What is the content?" ”
"I don't know, these are all pawns, I came to Moldavia just to explore the way, and the real high-level is estimated to be waiting and seeing."
Shaking his head, Lolanda looked really distressed, all night, no matter how he tortured, those cultists couldn't say more news, it seemed that they didn't know anything, but speaking of this, the paladin smiled: "It's also bad luck for this group of people, they don't know that another group of colleagues have already come to Moldavia before, so let's be vigilant, otherwise they will definitely wait for a while to avoid the limelight." ”
"Don't take it lightly."
The old bishop was unexpectedly serious, he said seriously: "The demons that can descend the revelation have the power to transmit information across the abyss seal, they are all real demons, and they can be regarded as overlords in the abyss, if it has any intentions against Moldavia......"
At this point, Atanis's words paused, and he turned his head to look at Joshua, who was sitting upright in his seat.
――I don't think so......
Not long ago, the clone of the great demon in the imperial capital had been completely teleported, for the demon cult, this was almost equivalent to the arrival of the gods, and the result was also wiped out by this guy in front of him?
"All in all, it's better to be careful."
The old bishop ended the topic a little stiffly, he touched his white beard, and then said in a deep voice: "The problem of the cultists has been roughly understood, it's just that after a few assassinations, the five-colored dragon still wants to target Joshua, and in addition, there is a demonic cult that is watching for unknown reasons...... Now let's talk about the Abyss of Anos. ”
"Indeed."
Hearing this, the warrior nodded to the side and agreed, "I'm very curious about what is the difference between this place where the Church of the Seven Gods can send a great knight of the extreme level and a whole group of monks to guard the town. ”
"The Abyss of Anos is not a canyon, not even on a continent, in fact, it is the name of a sea area in the eastern part of the far sea, which has perennial storms, strange currents, and countless whirlpools and dark tides, so that even the most familiar sailors dare not say that they can understand its laws, so few people will pass through it, and it is not famous for this reason."
Lolanda replied neatly, and since this was not information that had to be kept secret, he said without hesitation: "Originally, we called it the Abyss of Anos because the name of the discoverer was Anos, and the undercurrent there was turbulent, very dangerous, and it made people feel like they were in the abyss. ”
"But now, it lives up to its name."
The paladin's expression became extremely solemn, and he emphasized in an accent: "In the center of it, there is really a space-time rift that leads to the abyss. ”
Almost seventy years ago, in the center of this southern sea, a space-time rift suddenly appeared that connected with a certain layer of the sea in the abyss, it was so small that it could not even pass through living beings, but the power of the two worlds could penetrate each other.
If it weren't for the fact that the Church's fleet accidentally discovered the presence of many demonized creatures in this area of the sea during one of their journeys, perhaps the humans would have noticed this event a little later.
Although it is said that the connection between the abyss and the Mycrof continent has been completely sealed by the sages in the last era, but now that more than a thousand years have passed, no matter how tight the seal is, there will be loopholes, and the Abyss of Anos is its representative, because the space-time rift is located in the deepest part of this dangerous sea, and it is too small, not to mention sealing or destroying, it is very difficult to even find it, and the Church of the Seven Gods can only retreat and send personnel to the surrounding islands to build fortresses to defend it.
"Due to the power of the abyss, the center of this sea has become a different world similar to the [Plague Land], and the church has sent people to guard it, just like Joshua and your family guard the seal of Moldavia."
When Lolanda spoke, everyone listened quietly, but Joshua's face changed slightly, he seemed to remember something, but he still listened to the paladin continue: "If there is no unique divine protection, ordinary creatures can easily be harmed by the power of the abyss...... Even if there is a divine skill, it is easy to have problems staying for a long time, so it is generally several knights who take turns to station, and in order to avoid panic, the church also blocked the news. ”
Speaking of this, Lolanda seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, he sighed, and then said with some lack of interest: "It's also that I'm too careful, if something really goes wrong with the Abyss of Anos, I should also get the news, maybe the head of the group and Sister Saya just left temporarily because of the dragon calamity." ”
He also suddenly remembered that the black-haired man in front of him was a nobleman of the empire, the lord of the Northland, and even if Joshua cared about the Far South and the Church, it was impossible to change the situation, and the distance of an entire continent, even if there was a teleportation circle, was too far away.
- Perhaps.
Lolanda couldn't help but think that it was time for him to go back.
Even though the Church doesn't need his fighting power now, the Paladin wants to get through this difficult time with his comrades.
Joshua, on the other hand, didn't care about Lolanda's sudden change of attitude, he just lowered his head and touched his chin, looking like he was recalling something.
"One of the three abyssal gates of the Hereafter......"
The warrior silently thought in his heart: "The vortex of the abyss." ”
"So at this time, it's called the Abyss of Anos."
