The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 134: The dead but not dead god
After Sir Silver and the others teleported in... they realized that the space at the bottom of Hearth Mountain was not as narrow, dark, hot and humid as a mine.
On the contrary, it is very clean and tidy.
It looks more like a strange temple than the bottom of a volcano.
——This is the location after passing the "Deep Well".
After descending from the deep well to the bottom, and continuing to walk inside... you will see the grand building.
Its architectural structure is actually somewhat similar to an underground city. It's just that there is no light ant layer as a support...but the feeling of generosity that is not afraid of taking up space is the same.
The dome is at least six or seven meters high, and the corridor is more than forty meters wide. It's probably comparable to a smaller waiting hall... It doesn't look like there are only a few people walking around.
The walls on both sides are not made of masonry or earth walls.
It is a silvery white smooth surface with a metallic texture.
Under their feet was a blood-red cashmere carpet about six to seven meters wide and extremely bright in color. On both sides of the carpet, there are a group of huge stone statues every fifty meters, and there are several rows of steps going up.
The most bizarre thing is...the stone statues are either standing, kneeling, fighting, or praying, but the one thing they have in common is that they all have no heads. And as if something was parasitic on it, luminous crystal clusters with a maximum diameter of three to four meters and a minimum width of a palm bloomed.
It is these crystal clusters that completely illuminate this corridor.
They were not moved here after being carved, but were carved directly from the stone in situ.
This long corridor is more than 600 meters long.
The front is an equilateral triangle gate. There is a slowly rotating water curtain composed of liquid in the door. The color and texture are reminiscent of mercury.
"Approximately more than 1,800."
Sir Silver suddenly said: "This Earl can do it."
The mysterious lady asked subconsciously: "What one thousand and eight..."
"More than one thousand eight hundred gold coins."
The corners of Sir Silver's mouth raised slightly: "Not counting the deep well technology that can go down eight hundred meters, how much it will cost...just this corridor, these statues, and that door. I estimated the price, and it's almost the same. It cost more than 1,800 gold coins.
"I just took a look... The Dong family's savings are not even this amount. This earl's ability to collect money is quite good."
"Probably not that many."
The mysterious lady subconsciously refuted Sir Silver: "Although this wall is silver-plated, it is not pure silver. It is processed aluminum silver powder. And those sculptures were obviously made directly using shaping spells... In an environment like the underground, it is impossible for all stones to grow so symmetrically."
When she said this, she paused slightly: "But it is indeed very troublesome."
"How to open this door?"
The faceless poet's voice was sharp and frivolous: "Shall we rush in directly? But I feel that this door is worth some money."
"Don't move. This is a password door. Move it back to Annan later."
The mysterious lady replied without hesitation: "The rune-type password... is not encrypted at all, it is very simple."
As she spoke, she drew an "infinity" symbol facing the triangle.
The mercury door opened on its own.
After the shielding was lifted, pure light immediately overflowed like a tsunami!
The figures of the three of them suddenly melted into the endless light, and even the shadows dissipated.
This is a living light that can destroy the rationality of mortals.
But Mr. Yao didn't even raise his hand.
His glass-colored transparent pupils lit up with the same brilliance.
The sea of light was like a divided flood, bending in front of them and closing behind them, avoiding the three of them without any sound.
The walls coated with aluminum silver powder suddenly shone with the same brilliance, trying hard to reflect this penetrating light back.
In an instant, the corridor was like an oven, and the room temperature began to rise rapidly.
"No wonder they made the corridor so wide..."
The Faceless Poet sighed.
"It's really the light of the sky train."
The mysterious lady frowned: "No wonder those nobles have become actinic... A thin layer of aluminum silver powder cannot withstand the light of this active sky train. It needs a lead layer, at least Three meters thick. By relying on the sacred numbers carved by Anan to set up a light-blocking barrier, it is almost possible to seal this light."
"They definitely don't have the money."
While Sir Silver walked forward quickly, he said very realistic words: "Lead is also very expensive. The technology for smelting the lead layer should only be available to Suifu's followers."
"Where are those people?"
The mysterious lady did not move, but turned to ask Mr. Yao behind her.
Mr. Yao passed by the mysterious lady. He didn't look back, he just walked forward and said softly: "I put all the mortals above the deep well. And the earl and the wizard...
"I left them in there."
...Then you must be burned stupidly by this light?
Hearing this, the mysterious lady’s expression was a little subtle.
But she didn't say much, she just took two steps and walked in with everyone.
Once you enter, you will find something stunningly beautiful.
——That is the sea of crystal clusters.
Countless pure white crystal clusters, like an open sea of flowers, completely cover the circular room of about 500 square meters.
Only an infinity symbol like a horizontal "8" is left, which is empty. But it's not that there's nothing above, instead it's shining with brilliant white light.
A middle-aged nobleman wearing a red robe, and a young man with long brown curly hair, whose face is so delicate that it reminds one of a woman, are sitting very obediently side by side on the left side of the infinity symbol.
Pure white light reflected in their pupils, they were smiling, their expressions were calm and gentle, their eyes were so empty that they looked dead.
On the other side, there is Nigel's painting.
Right in the middle of the infinity symbol - that is the source of all light.
For mortals, this light may easily pollute their minds.
But for the gods, it doesn't even obscure their view.
"Long time no see, everyone."
A very gentle voice sounded in the hearts of everyone.
The expressions of the three gods became serious.
The pure black waist-length hair is not composed of many strands of hair, but is shaped like the night sky.
The face is almost exactly the same as Annan, with a calm and maternal smile. Her left eye was a silver-grey, swirling gem; while her right eye was a pitch-black hole.
——That was the "material" picked up by Miss Good Luck in the past.
A "God's Eye" from the driver of the sky chariot.
Looking in from that hole, what you see is not "pitch black".
But the purest nothingness.
Her chest is high and there is no hair on her body... Her abdomen is the black hole left by the worms in the past. She folded her hands together to protect the hollow in her abdomen demurely.
But from the waist down, she turned into nothingness.
A crack like an arc engulfed the lower half of her body. So she was just suspended in the air, without even arms.
In other words... she was originally in another world, and a crack tore apart the separation between the two worlds, releasing part of her back.
"As expected..."
Sir Silver murmured.
The demon from the virtual world occupies neither the count's body nor the wizard's body.
——But the corpse of the chariot driver.
The demons in the virtual world are not a certain race.
Calling it a "demon" is just to express the disgust and fear of the elves. But this is not the kind of demon the Fallen has become.
Or it can also be called the "inner demon" or the "heavenly demon".
They have no entity.
It's just the "hate" generated by the wreckage of the world after its destruction.
——I (referring to the world) has been destroyed, but why can you live?
Just like the undead hate the living.
The demon of the virtual world will parasitize in the body of intelligent life and acquire entity, wisdom, strength and will - and everything it does is to destroy the current world. This hatred will only be directed toward "the world that ultimately destroyed the virtual world."
This is the world's last self-protection mechanism. Or it can also be called a "deterrence mechanism", which is the deterrence theory of "if you kill me, I will come back and kill you".
Once possessed by the demon of the virtual world, no matter what the previous wish was, it will become "to destroy everything".
...But this kind of revenge is very powerless.
After all, the victor is definitely stronger.
Just one or two people have their minds changed, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
But...
Even Sir Silver couldn't imagine what she would do if the chariot driver's mind was changed...
The most pure, most holy, most good God. Its light can purify everything.
A demon from the virtual world who has been able to change his mind and make him fall into madness.
Like the sharpest spear and the strongest shield colliding.
"Don't worry, everyone. That child has been purified by me... I am only still here to wait for you to come over."
She chuckled softly: "I am very sober now. I will not attack you or resist.
"I know that my waking up was a mistake. Once you have asked all you want to ask, I will cooperate with you to correct this mistake."
"...I know why Ah Yao didn't directly start purifying the demon."
Sir Silver reached up and covered his forehead.
The mysterious lady and Mr. Yao also became silent.
It's not that they can't bear to do it - any of them can make the determination to regain their former companions' sleep.
Just...
"I hope we hear the answer together~IndoMTL.com~ instead of me asking first. Then tell you."
Mr. Yao said softly.
"You did the right thing, Ah Yao. (silenced), I do have something to ask you..."
Sir Yin closed his eyes and said softly: "I think you should also know what I want to ask."
The driver of the sky chariot said gently: "How did I die...right."
"Exactly."
Sir Silver said.
This chapter has 3,000 words. It was supposed to end after more than 2,000 words, but after thinking about it, it wasn’t enough to break the chapter, so I wrote another thousand words, hey.
