Thousands of years ago, a legendary wizard completely destroyed a certain cross-layer door, and the ancient demon god showed no signs of it. Therefore, the wizard concluded that it might have disappeared long ago.
However, the so-called disappearing in the years does not mean that it is dead. Maybe it is just tired and sleeping, or maybe it is disappointed and far away. Of course, it may also be lost to the erosion of time and completely annihilated.
The aura of the ancient demon god has finally dissipated, and the only thing that can be felt is that the will and power left on the cross-layer door will still exist in the world.
"Others, please rest here for a while. All members of the escort team will open the door with me." Snaffa's voice reached everyone's ears.
This "opening the door" means pushing open the cross-layer door.
If you want to push the door open, you need to reach a certain level of strength.
According to research, this restriction on pushing the door is actually a kind of protection for surface creatures by the ancient demon god. If you want to push the door open, your strength must at least reach the level of the third level of the abyss, otherwise you will be seeking death if you enter the third level.
With Sinaifa's strength before she was cursed, she could push it away alone, but now she needs the cooperation of the escort team, which is enough to know that her strength is seriously damaged.
When the crack in the door gradually emerged, Angel curiously cast his gaze behind the crack.
Unfortunately, the new world did not appear behind the crack in the door, but was obscured by a gray wall of fog.
Although he couldn't see the world behind the crack in the door, Angel was lost in thought. Because the abyss had progressive layers, he originally thought that the structure of the abyss was an infinitely extending basement-like structure. To jump between layers was to jump from a ladder.
Going to another ladder may be expressed as entering a deep chasm. But I didn't expect that the way to cross the level would be to enter the door. Is the space behind the door mirrored or parallel? Or is it a ladder to the sky, and the door is a representation of teleportation?
"You look confused?" Madeleine noticed Angel's frown and asked.
Angel asked the doubts in his mind, "Is this kind of cross-layering like the three-dimensional space of the outside, inside and outside in a fairy tale world?"
"That's not the case. Although the fairy tale world is divided into three levels of space, the inner structure and size are actually restricted by the surface world. The abyss is different. The structure of each level is not subject to any restrictions. You can understand that each level is not subject to any restrictions.
A layer is a world. These worlds are arranged according to certain harsh restrictive rules and are both connected and independent."
Madeleine herself had limited knowledge of the structure of the abyss. She only expressed the guesses about the structure of the abyss in the wizarding world since ancient times.
While Angel was still thinking, the door finally opened wide enough.
Moreover, when the guards released their push on the door, the door was slowly closed again by a mysterious force.
"Everyone should follow immediately before the door closes!"
The cross-layer door closed itself very quickly, and everyone did not dare to delay, and threw themselves into the fog door one by one.
Angel also stopped to think, drove the gondola, and plunged into the gray wall of fog.
They shuttled through the wall of fog for half a minute, and finally saw the boundless snowfield outside.
The endless fields are covered with white, heavy snow blocks the view, the cool breath penetrates into the nose, and the only sound left in the ears is the whistling wind.
"Is this the third level of the abyss?" Angel felt it carefully. The energy around him was indeed more violent than before, which also meant that it would be more difficult for the wizard to restore his magic power.
As for other places, Angel did not notice any changes. The sky was still dim, the atmosphere was still depressing, and the wind blowing from the cold knife had the same chilling atmosphere as before.
The Frost Moon Guards did not stop and were still clearing the way ahead.
This flight lasted for more than half an hour. They were still in the snowy field, but they came to a shelter, Nilting Winter Palace.
It was an abandoned temple standing in the middle of the wind and snow. The style was extremely weird. The carvings on the outer wall were monsters with various ferocious expressions. Even the statues guarding the door were all gargoyles with wings on their backs. From this point of view,
To put it simply, it can be seen that before this temple was abandoned, it must have worshiped evil gods.
Stepping into the Winter Palace, the cold air was immediately blocked from outside, and the warm atmosphere filled the palace.
"Nilting Winter Palace is an important stop for the Frost Moon Alliance. Once we get here, the next step is to go to each outpost according to different routes of the mission." Madeline said.
"In other words, from here on, everyone will go their separate ways?" Angel asked.
Madeleine nodded, and at the same time her expression began to become more solemn: "Yes, so the next section of the journey is the most dangerous section."
After a pause, Madeleine changed the topic: "Didn't Liana leave you a bottle of Kunshahua fragrance? You can use it after you leave here."
Snaffa arranged for everyone to take a break in the Winter Palace, and she left the Winter Palace with several members of the escort team.
When Angel was curious about Sneffa's whereabouts, Maher brought the remaining escorts together, and after gathering everyone, he said: "Miss Sneffa has gone to contact the phantom beasts in various places. I will take you there later."
Go to their respective mission locations."
After a pause, Maher took out a form: "There are eight front lines where the supplies will go this time. They are the Twin Tower Sentinel near the Gate of Mechanics, the Kodo Port near the Dark Ocean Deep Whirlpool, and the Evil Undercover.
The cliff shelter deep in the cave...and the watch fortress on the outskirts of the critical forest."
Maher began to classify and summarize the frontline tasks received by the apprentices, and would arrange for them to go to different places for frontline construction as needed.
As for the official wizards, Maher didn't care. Since the official wizards came to the front line of the abyss, they must have their own arrangements, or the arrangements of each wizard organization, and he didn't need to care.
After the arrangements were completed, everyone took a rest and waited for the arrival of the fantasy beast.
Angel also took advantage of this time to get a general understanding of each outpost.
The outposts are all near the entrances to each inner level. The outpost that Angel is about to go to is the Watch Fortress. According to Brufen, this fortress is the most dangerous of all outposts because you enter the abyss through the critical forest.
If you go to the inner level, you will reach a black water basin, and there is a demon city nearby.
If there are demons in Castlevania who want to enter the surface of the abyss, Critical Forest is definitely the first choice.
"Although the Watch Fortress is the most dangerous outpost, it is also the place with the most true wizards. Illusion Masters, Ru Ye, and Lord Bing Jing are all there." Bruffen paused: "If nothing unexpected happens,
Sinaifa will probably also go to watch the fortress. Therefore, the overall strength is still guaranteed."
"Snaifa also went to watch the fortress? Didn't she go to Monkey to lift the curse of Ice Valley?" Madeleine asked doubtfully.
Brufen sighed: "It's not that Snaffa doesn't want to go, but Monkey went to the inner layer of the abyss a few years ago and has no fixed location. Only he can contact us, so it is difficult for us to contact him.
"
Madeline didn't expect such a secret blessing. She always thought that Monkey would stay at Shuangyue's base camp. But in this case, what should we do about Sneffa's curse?
"We can only wait until we return to the wizarding world next time, and then we can find other people to help. However, even if we have to return to the wizarding world, we can only cross the boundary again after the energy tide has passed."
While Brufen was sighing with emotion, a huge whistling sound suddenly came from outside the Winter Palace, accompanied by the sharp hawk's cry.
After Brufen heard the hawk's cry, realization flashed in his eyes: "Sure enough, Grosh was the one who came the fastest."
At the same time, Maher's voice also reached everyone's ears: "Grosh has arrived. Those who are going to the cliff shelter are ready to go!"
Angel followed the others and walked outside the Winter Palace, where he saw the phantom beast called Grosh.
It was a huge condor that could cover the sky and the sun. It had a white crown on its head. It looked like a waiter of the Ice Goddess in the wind and snow. It fell from the sky and kicked up a lot of snow dust.
The back of this condor was extremely broad, and a windproof fortress was even built on it. One of the Shuangyue guards who had left earlier stood in front of the door of the fortress, opened the door and signaled those who were going to the cliff shelter to come up quickly.
More than fifty apprentices and six wizards stepped onto the back of the condor.
With an eagle's cry, Grosh spread his wings and flew into the sky.
Grosh left just as quickly as he came. While Angel was still shocked by the size of the condor, it had turned into a black dot and disappeared into the depths of the wind and snow.
Not long after Grosh left, the earth shook.
A one-horned red scorpion that was even bigger than Grosh howled at the sky and flew toward him.
"Loga Midan is here too." Brufen said lightly. Like Grosh, Loga Midan is also a fantasy beast that carries the apprentice to the outpost, and the place it goes to is the Gate of Mechanics.
The nearby twin tower sentry post.
As time went by, various terrifying and huge phantom beasts appeared, carrying everyone in the Nilting Winter Palace away.
The number of people was getting smaller and smaller, and the originally noisy Winter Palace became lonely again.
At this time, Madeline turned to look at Brufen, who was lamenting the last phantom beast, with confusion and disgust in his eyes: "Maher has already left, why haven't you left yet?"
Brufen smiled shyly: "Didn't I say before that I also went to watch the fortress?"
"What are you doing at the Watch Fortress?" Madeline frowned. As a technical wizard, Brufen was always valued by Shuang Yue. How could he suddenly go to the most dangerous Watch Fortress?
Brufen said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Madeline's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something, and her tone suddenly turned cold: "You...did you go there for her?"
Brufen shrugged and didn't reply. But Madeleine had almost confirmed Brufen's intention. Think about Brufen's profession, and then think about that person's hobbies...
Madeline looked at Brufen with an increasingly sinister expression.
Brufen said, "Whatever you want to do is up to you, and I won't stop you."
"That's the best!" Madeleine gave Brufen a cold look and said no more.
