[I'm still a little weak. I haven't eaten much all day. I've been eating porridge, so I can't sleep until midnight.]
Eleanor seemed to be keener than Salin. Along the way, she carefully avoided the more powerful beings. They zigzagged forward toward the city center.
It wasn't difficult to enter the core of Lorgar City, but it was difficult to leave. The powerful beings hidden behind the divine texts and magic arrays wouldn't come out now, but they wouldn't be so easy to deal with when they wanted to leave.
Salin even smelled a conspiracy. Did the goddess leave the divine crystal for someone to inherit her faith? If you didn't believe in the goddess, you couldn't leave.
According to the Mages' understanding of gods, gods lived on faith. Even if the goddess died, she could be resurrected as long as there were enough believers and a long time.
But it wasn't like the core temples of the goddess were in the Purgatory Desert. Basically, no one would enter them. Salin and the others also relied on Rex's super powerful divine weapon to escape at any time. Otherwise, they would be doomed after coming in.
There had to be a reason why the goddess had built 24 secret temples before she died.
Salin shook his head hard. It didn't matter if he temporarily believed in the goddess. After all, Myers' teachings didn't mention heaven or hell. Believing in the goddess was only to return to nature after death. Except for the fact that believers needed to offer to the world, the goddess' teachings didn't conflict with the principles of the Mages.
Mages didn't need to offer much. They preferred equivalent exchanges. If you wanted something from a Mage, you had to pay the same price.
Mages on the inside and swordsmen on the outside. All the magic armors were enchanted with two or more spells. The team moved forward cautiously. Nobody made a sound. The Spirit Snake Armor's compatibility with magic was perfect. It was easy for the Mages to enchant it without any mistakes. Salin noticed this and thought to himself that he had to get a perfect set of magic armor blueprints.
Rex couldn't give it to him, but Seriger Island definitely had it.
They came to a fork in the road. There was a covered bridge on the third floor above the street. The boundary of the fork was right under this covered bridge.
"Turn left," Dorothy said.
"Right!" Eleanor immediately retorted.
Dorothy looked at Eleanor coldly and said, "What right do you have to order me around?"
Eleanor shut her mouth. Salin said from behind, "Eleanor, tell me, why did we turn right?"
Upon hearing Salin's question, Eleanor raised her hand and pointed at the divine inscriptions carved on the bridge. "It's written here. To the left is the Forbidden Death Zone, a place where dangerous creatures are imprisoned. To the right is the church."
Dorothy frowned. "I hate churches."
Next to Salin, Trish was enraged. He said to Dorothy, "If you dare to talk to Master like that again, I'll break all your bones. Do you understand?"
Dorothy kept quiet after hearing Trish's warning. He did not dare to go against Trish. This demon was more than ten times stronger than him.
It was only a coincidence that Tris was protecting Salin. Just now, Salin had asked Rex's men to stall the Great Demon Sanzhen and create an opportunity for him to attack. Tris had already remembered this.
Actually, with his strength, he could also entangle a Great Demon, but it would be life-threatening. Salin was unwilling to let a demon like him take the risk. He already had a good impression of his master. As a high-level demon, he knew some things about demons and humans, so he was not particularly averse to following Salin. As long as this master was similar to the humans in the past, he could accept it.
In Trish's opinion, Salin would die soon, and he had a long life. After Salin died, he could reap a lot of benefits, so it was only right for him to be loyal. Dorothy was different. If Salin became a level-nine Magic Shooter, Dorothy would even die before Salin did.
Trish was also very intelligent. From Neris, he could see Lolo-Galo's attachment to humans. After Salin's death, Luoluo Jialuo would be his superior and would always lead him. Only by maintaining a good relationship with Salin would he be able to survive in the future.
Trish was convinced of Neris's superiority. Lolo-Galo, who had already developed three abilities, had a bright future.
Salin was slightly surprised, but he still asked Dorothy, "Now tell me, why did we turn left?"
Dorothy hesitated for a moment before she said, "The left side is not fatal for us. There's only one living being left in this city, and it's at the exit. Those on this path are only half-undead. They don't have Necromancy magic, and they've lost their natural abilities. If they fight, they're about the same as me. "
"But the right side is very safe."
"There are many skeletons buried on the left side. They're all creatures from different planes. Master, if you want those skeletons, you should go here and dig them out."
Rex said, "Salin, the divine crystals are the most important." Seeing that Salin was a bit tempted, she quickly reminded him of what they should value and what they should give up.
Dorothy didn't dare to be angry at Salin because of Trish's warning, but she didn't care about Rex at all.
"If you don't want to go left, please go ahead."
Rex was slightly angry. The Wizard beside her also looked at Dorothy. Dorothy wasn't scared at all. She said coldly, "There are skeletons of the six-winged flying snake in the cemetery on the left. I don't believe you don't want them."
Rex immediately lost his temper. The six-winged flying snake was the guardian totem of the Glücos family, and it was also a powerful creature. If they weren't in Lorgar City, she could go get the divine crystals first, and then consider digging the six-winged flying snake's skeletons. But this city was a huge maze. Once they went right, it might take several years to find the way again.
You could only move forward, not backward. That was the most annoying part of Lorgar's maze. Once you took a wrong step, all your previous efforts would be in vain.
Neris whispered to Salin, "Master, let's go left. Dorothy must've found something more valuable. She's more afraid of death than we are."
Neris's words made sense. Among the demons, Dorothy was the most afraid of death. Her species didn't have long lifespans either. They could live for two thousand years at most, and usually not more than eight hundred. Dorothy was already middle-aged, and she didn't have much time left. She would cherish her life even more. If the left side was too dangerous for her, she would give up secretly instead of telling Salin that there were treasures there.
Although demons were different from humans, they were all intelligent creatures, and it was in their nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.
"Trish, go and protect Eleanor. We'll go left." Salin saw that Rex couldn't resist the temptation, so he didn't say anything else. In terms of danger, entering the Purgatory Desert was the greatest. If they were afraid of everything, they might as well hide in Metatlin City and wait for their teacher to come.
The road on the left became more spacious the moment they entered. The houses on both sides seemed to have retreated hundreds of meters, forming an extremely open area. The originally transparent cover in the sky turned grey. Dorothy and Eleanor were in front when they suddenly crashed into an invisible wall. The air rippled. Zola and Trish couldn't react in time, so they could only crash into it.
"Stop!" Rex shouted, and the swordsmen who were about to enter stopped immediately.
"Why did you stop?!" Salin was a little anxious when he saw Eleanor disappear behind the invisible wall. There was still a huge amount of knowledge that he hadn't learned from Eleanor. Moreover, he had promised to protect Eleanor. Now that Eleanor had disappeared with the two demons, how could he not be nervous?
Rex touched the God Sieve Ring on his finger and felt it for a while before saying to Salin, "Look around."
Salin released his perception and searched the surroundings carefully. Only then did he realize that his team had entered an enclosed environment. There were invisible walls on all sides, and these walls weren't fixed. Instead, they were constantly changing.
"If we follow them now, we won't be able to find them. Let's not split up. "
"We have no choice but to split up." Salin's perception was very delicate. He could tell that the surroundings weren't walls, but a force that separated space. It was easy for three to five people to enter at the same time, but it was almost impossible for the entire team to enter the same space. Unless Rex used the God Sieve Ring now.
"Master, the demon language doesn't have the word 'cemetery'," Nelis suddenly said.
"What do you mean?"
"Demons don't need graves. The only similar word is battlefield, or … killing ground. But if such a word appeared, Eleanor would mention it. She only said it was dangerous. "
"Then what's behind this?"
"I don't know the hieroglyphs. Master, you've learned for so long, you can try to analyze it."
After Nelis said that, Salin started to think for himself. After a long time, he said to Rex, "There are countless doors here, the hub of a maze. But we'll eventually reach a position. As long as we can pass through, I'm not sure how to do it, but we'll be in a group of five. "
"You're definitely going to be with Silva?"
"Of course." Silva was the one who answered Rex. She shrugged without any shyness. Anyway, no matter how jealous Rex was, it couldn't change the fact that she made the first move.
Because of his identity, Rex couldn't argue with Silva at all. He just nodded and said to Salin, "Then be careful. We'll see you later."
On Salin's side, he, Silva, Nelis, and the two demons were exactly five people. On Rex's side, there were more people. According to the method of three warriors protecting two mages, they could barely be considered as four teams. There was one more person beside Rex. That assassin, Byrne, seemed to have the confidence to keep up with Rex's pace.
Salin sighed. Seeing Rex's people enter the invisible wall one after another, he held Silva's hand and said to Nelis, "You guys follow closely." As he said that, he strode forward. Water-like ripples swept past him. It was extremely cool. Salin even felt that his perception had expanded a lot because of this.
