Chapter 328: The Forbidden Land
There was nothing but darkness in front of me.
When Tillise opened her eyes again, all she could see was darkness.
What's going on? What happened to you?
Tilis stared blankly ahead, all she remembered was that she and Aina had been bumped into each other, and then she had stepped into the air, and then she only felt herself falling down, the wind blowing in her ears, and Aina screaming something. But after that she lost her instincts and fell into a coma.
And now, what's going on?
Tillis fumbled to her feet, she could feel the flat slab beneath her, but she couldn't see anything else. Do you say that you are dead? The thought of this made Tilis shudder, she had heard many stories and legends about death, including the terrible rumor that souls would be trapped in eternal darkness and wander. Do you think you are like that? In fact, he is dead, but his soul is still lingering here?
Thinking of this, Tilis couldn't help but tremble, and her breathing became much shorter. After all, she is still a young girl in the prime of her youth, and she has not yet reached the point where she can look down on life and death. The thought that she was dead and that her soul would linger here forever suddenly exploded with uncontrollable fear in her heart, and she trembled and covered her mouth, relying entirely on her last will to not be able to cry. Now Tillise only wished she was thinking too much, maybe she was in a coma to have such dreams, and in fact she was not dead. But Tilis's inner sanity told her that it was impossible, because she didn't feel any pain in her body, according to reason. If she really fell from above and fell to the ground, then she would definitely feel some pain physically. But she didn't feel any pain. In general, only the dead lose their senses. For now, though, Tilis just needs to tug at her cheek. It was certain if it was a dream, but she didn't, because Tillise was afraid that if she did, she would get an answer that she never wanted to know, and that she would be overwhelmed when she realized it.
But just then, a voice rang in Tilis's ears.
"Are you awake? Miss Tillise? ”
"Mr. Jenn?!"
Hearing the voice, as if she had found a savior in the darkness, Tilis hurriedly turned to look at the place where the voice had come from. Soon, she saw Jenn walking past the other side with a torch, and Aina was following him. At this moment, the half-elf ranger girl's face was still as cheerful and lively as ever, and she didn't seem to be distressed by the situation in front of her at all.
Soon, though, Tillise realized that something was wrong.
Although Jenn held the torch, the light of the torch was very strange, although it was bright, the light that radiated from it did not spread like ordinary light. Instead, it was as if it was bound by darkness, forming a circle of light about half a meter in diameter, and only things within the range of this aperture would be illuminated, and the rest of the place would remain pitch black. For example, now Tillise has seen Jenn. But she could only see the half of Jenn's body in the aperture, and the rest of it was obscured by darkness and couldn't be seen at all. As for herself, too. She could see Jenn though, but when Tillise looked down at her. But all I saw was darkness.
"Mr. Jenn, what's going on? Are we already dead? What is this place? Could it be the legendary underworld? ”
I have to admit it. Seeing her familiar people here still made Tilis feel much more relaxed, and she hurriedly looked at Jenn, and then asked hurriedly. Hearing her speak, Jenn didn't say much, just raised the torch in his hand and shone it towards where she was. Immediately after that, Tillise saw her hands and body reappear in the light of the light, and from the outside, she had not changed from before, nor had she become the kind of soul body that Tilise was worried about. This made Tilis breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a chuckle, and then saw Aina pounce from the side and hugged Tilis.
"Hahaha, seeing you scared like this, don't worry, Tilis, we didn't die, it was Mr. Noble who saved us."
"That's right..............."
Feeling Aina's warm embrace, Tillise breathed a sigh of relief. The Necronomicon couldn't feel any warmth, and now she could feel Aina's body pressed against her back, which was enough to say a thing. Still, the situation in front of her made Tilis feel a little nervous, after all, she had never seen anything like it.
"But this ........."
"The dark element here is very thick, which hinders the spread of light, which is why it is like this."
Jenn was quick to answer Tilis's question, and then he reached out and pushed his glasses. Unlike Tilis and Aina, Jenn is a high-level demon, dark vision is one of his standard talents, this overflowing dark element can hinder the spread of light, but for Jenn it is basically the same, no matter how dark it is, it is also very clear in Jenn's eyes. And Aina is not much different from him, but as a half-elf, her talent is only Cheng Dù who has "dim vision". He couldn't walk on the ground in the darkness like Jenn did, but at least he could barely see the outline, and with the help of torches, it wasn't a big problem.
On the contrary, Tilis, a pure human being, is blind right now, and the priest of Seron is good at assisting, but most of them are "projects" such as building roads and bridges, if she is a paladin who believes in the "True Eye" like Nadia, it would be fine, but the silver saintess does not have such good benefits, so that even if Tilis holds the torch, she can't see the surrounding situation clearly, which can be described as extremely unlucky.
"What the hell is this place? What are we going to do? ”
Hearing Jenn's explanation, Tilis's originally relaxed mood became tense again. But this time, Jenn didn't answer her question right away. Instead, he turned away. He looked around.
Unbeknownst to Tillis, they were on the top platform of a huge cavern. This is what Jenn only found out after entering the gap. In his eyes, he could see a huge oval cave below, and in the middle of this cave, there was a pillar with a diameter of tens of meters thick. At the edge of the thick stone pillars are spiraling downward staircases and criss-crossing platforms. And Tillise and Aina are at the very top of this platform -- of course, thanks to Jenn's help, otherwise these two girls would probably end up with broken bones, not like they are now. Not even the slightest injury.
But that's not what Jenn cared about. He looked up at the walls on either side of the cavern, and everywhere he looked, they were full of carved spells and the emblems of the nine gods, and Jenn was no stranger to them. This is the Seal Lock, which is specially prepared by the Templar Order to seal evil things, using the divine power of the Nine Saints to cooperate to suppress the evil power. In fact, in the lower realm. There are quite a few demon clans who have fallen on this kind of seal, and even some of them are still like monkeys who have been crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain, and they will never be able to turn over -- of course, don't expect Tang Seng to help them get out of their predicament. There is no spirit of mutual help and friendship among the demons, in fact, they wish the Templar Order had sealed those guys forever, because that's the only way. They will have a chance to continue their upward climb.
However, it also confirmed Jenn's suspicion that the sunglasses were indeed placed here to suppress the fragment of the Shadow Gate of Death. This in turn explains why the followers of the Helios cult did not take the fragment with them. But............
Thinking of this, Jenn frowned. Glancing at the bottom of the stone pillar again, where the dark elements were dense enough to form a dark ocean, even his "dark vision" could not penetrate, which couldn't help but make Jenn feel a little confused and uneasy.
Jenn hadn't directly touched the fragments of the Death Shadow Gate, but he knew how this thing came about, in Jenn's memory, it was just a fragment of an artifact, not to mention that it was made by the Nether Princess after the Sage descended on the main plane, and the power of the artifact created during this time was completely incomparable to that of the main plane, and its fragment would not be very powerful. But after seeing the Nine Saints Seal and the Sunglasses, Jenn sensed that something seemed wrong. A mere fragment of the Death's Shadow Gate -- and is it just one of them, with such a fanfare seal? The Sunglasses are one of Amunla's three artifacts, and they are the supreme artifacts compared to the Dark Orb. That's why Jenn's face changed so much when he saw that thing, and he found an excuse to turn around and run. Anyway, he is also a demon, and things like sunglasses are naturally as far away as possible. And according to ordinary ideas, just using the sunglasses to seal the fragments of the Shadow of Death Gate is already overkill, killing chickens with a knife. And right now, there are not only sunglasses as the core of the suppression, but there are even the Nine Holy Seals, where is the appearance of sealing the fragments of the Demon Weapon, it is simply going to seal the Demon God level of the storage zài.
But what made Jenn even more frightened was that under such a powerful double seal, the dark element here was still so thick that it showed that even the sunglasses couldn't suppress it—even the fragments of the supreme artifact? What kind of script did this director write? You're on the wrong track!
Could it be that there is something else suppressed under this besides the fragments of the magic weapon?
Thinking of this, Jenn looked down again, then shook his head. The dark elements here are very dense, which is not a good thing for most life, but for the demons it is like a great vacation place full of fresh air. Even Jenn's senses were much sharper, and he could be sure that there was only the fragment of the magic weapon underneath it, and there was no other breath of zài.
In this case, there are only two possibilities - either this so-called "fragment of the Shadow Gate of Death" is unusual, at least far from what Jenn had guessed, or there is something else down there, just evading Jenn's detection.
But no matter which one it is, Jenn has to change his strategy, originally he planned to get the fragment of the Death Shadow Gate as soon as possible and then flash it, but now, he decided to wait and see what happens, and if he can't do it, let Tinidel take this fragment -- the demons are greedy for life and afraid of death, and Jenn is naturally no exception. So he quickly changed his mind and looked at Tilis, who was standing next to him with a slight uneasiness.
Anyway, even if he doesn't pick up the shards, he has enough fun to pass the time.
"In such a situation, it is dangerous to rush forward, so let's take a break and then make a decision."
Then, Jenn spoke. (To be continued......)
