After getting the information from Charles, Fangzheng immediately started discussing with Fina and Hardedef. Their faces were ashen, but that was to be expected. It was like a group of police officers arresting terrorists. They originally thought that the terrorists were planning to transport a nuclear bomb from abroad to carry out terrorist activities, but who would have thought that the terrorists were planning to build their own ….
"That's impossible …. Impossible …. That wizard must be lying!"
John was also panicking. Those dark times were simply a nightmare for the people of this continent. At the thought that these bastard Evil Cultists were planning to recreate everything, John couldn't think calmly at all.
Seeing the paladin in a daze, Fangzheng did not disturb him anymore. Instead, he pulled Fina over and started asking questions.
"What do you think, Miss Fina?"
"I … I think?"
"Is there any possibility of what the baldy said coming true? I mean, even if it's theoretically possible, as long as it's achievable. "
Fangzheng did not understand magic, and Nimf only understood technology. When it came to magic knowledge in this world, he could only consult the only caster here.
"This, this …. Let me think about it …."
At this moment, Fei Na was also a little nervous. She played with the scepter in her hand, frowned and muttered in a low voice.
"…. The entire Fallen City is covered by the goddess' boundary. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems. The surrounding space is also very stable, and the design of the seal is also very complete. The seal is located in the gap between space and time. Even if the cultists destroy the seal structure from this side, it's useless …. "
"So, how did Sammer's people open the Gates of Hell?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Fina was stunned for a moment before she gave an answer.
"They used their own people as sacrifices to attract Babu. After reaching an agreement with him, they opened the Gates of Hell …."
"Wait."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he eagerly interrupted Fei Na's narration.
"You mean to say that because Sammer sacrificed many souls, they were able to open the channel?"
"Yes, Mr. Fangzheng."
"Then the Goddess' seal only sealed the passage? What if the cultists were only contacting the Demon King? Will communication between the two sides be blocked? "
"This …"
This time, Fina was speechless.
"This … I'm not too sure … but generally speaking, places contaminated by demons are more likely to attract the attention of demons …"
"I see."
At this point, Fangzheng had a general understanding of how this world summoned demons. In his opinion, what the people of Sammer did was to build a communication tower in a place where there was no signal so that it could "cover" the signal to Hell. Then, through the method of "sacrifice", they enhanced the signal fluctuations and communicated with the demons in Hell. According to Fina, the Goddess' seal only sealed the passage to the Gates of Hell but did not destroy the communication tower. At most, she only cut off the energy source of the communication tower and abandoned it. If someone brought a diesel generator over to repair the communication tower, could it be used again?
"Then, if the cultists were contacting the Demon King in Sammer and then opened the passage to Hell outside the range of the Goddess' seal, do you think it's possible?"
"That's … that's impossible!"
Hearing this, Fei Na's entire body trembled.
"Opening the Gates of Hell requires a lot of souls. Mr. Fangzheng, there's no way you can find that many people around here to sacrifice!"
But Fangzheng's thinking was obviously different from Fina's.
"Just a lot of souls? Does it have to be from our side? Can't the souls from Hell work? If we just determine the coordinates here, then let the souls from Hell sacrifice them, can we open a new Gates of Hell? "
"Hell …."
At that moment, the way Fei Na looked at Fangzheng was like she was looking at a devil.
"The essence of the Gates of Hell is just a passage connecting two worlds. In theory, there shouldn't be any problem with sacrificing souls from our side or the other side. Besides, the Goddess' seal only suppresses the power of Hell. The surroundings of Sammer have long been eroded by the power of Hell, so it's indeed easier to connect to that world …. But, but why would the demons do that? Why would they kill their own kind to sacrifice? "
"Isn't that what demons do?"
Fangzheng was not so conflicted. The demons written in the books of the Holy Temple were similar to the ones he knew. If that was the case, then what was the point of sacrificing their own kind?
"…."
Faced with Fangzheng's answer, Fina was dumbfounded. She looked as if she was speechless at what he said.
"So, it's indeed theoretically possible to reopen the Gates of Hell?"
Faced with Fangzheng's question again, Fina could not even speak. She just nodded repeatedly. After getting Fina's answer, Fangzheng thought for a moment and made a decision.
"Then, we …."
"Ding."
But before Fangzheng could finish his words, as if to stop his decision, a system prompt rang in Fangzheng's ears, followed by a line of system information appearing in front of Fangzheng.
[Main world mission triggered: Gates of Hell]
[The darkness of Hell is spreading, and disaster is about to befall this world again. You have detected the conspiracy hidden in the shadows and are determined to stop it all. (Stop the Gates of Hell from opening and destroy the altar. After the mission is successful, the time ratio between the main world and the dungeon world will expand to 1: 10. If the mission is failed, the Dimensional Codex system will be shut down.)]
"…."
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Fangzheng was completely speechless.
I don't even know if I should say 'Motherf * cker'!
MMP！ Did you hear that? MMP！！
To be honest, Fangzheng did not intend to get involved in this mess at first. The previous incident with the Lich Lord had left too deep a psychological shadow in him, so when he heard the words' cultists' and 'rituals', he decided to stay away from them. Not to mention, the content this time was even more horrifying. These cultists were actually planning to reopen the Gates of Hell!?
Without thinking too much, Fangzheng could guess that this thing must be even more difficult to do than the ritual that the Lich Lord used to remove the seal of the Child of Chaos. So after confirming his inference, he decided to be a coward. After all, something like the Gates of Hell was definitely not that easy to open. He only had a little more than 20 Temple Warriors and a patrolling Apprentice Priest. With such a small number of people, they would probably be wiped out even if they cleared 60 dungeons. What the hell was the meaning of this?
Were you afraid that you wouldn't die fast enough?
To be honest, Fangzheng did not even intend to take the reward for this mission. Nothing was more important than his own life. Even if the sky fell down, there was someone taller than him to hold it up. He was just a Apprentice Knight. Why should he get involved in this? He wasn't a person of this world! But what made Fangzheng depressed was that this punishment was too terrifying!
The Dimensional Codex System was shut down?
System, did you deliberately force me to go because you knew that I didn't want to die? I'm your father! Your biological father! Motherf * cker, I knew it wasn't a coincidence that I drew Arthas the first time. It was you! You're a traitor to your own father!
"Mr. Fangzheng?"
Fina asked curiously when she saw Fangzheng in a daze. Hearing Fina's voice, Fangzheng barely suppressed the depression in his heart.
"… .How about this. Mr. John, please take the others and escort this baldy back to the Holy Cathedral immediately to ask for reinforcements. I don't think the Order Fortress has enough manpower to help at the moment. But I believe that if the Holy Cathedral learns of the situation, they will definitely send reinforcements. "
"Then what about you, Mr. Fangzheng?"
"Me?"
Facing Fina's question, Fangzheng revealed a helpless smile. Since I can't run away, I'll just act cool for once ….
"I'll go to the Dark Swamp to track down those cultists. At the very least, I'll find out if they're daydreaming or really making progress. At the same time, I'll wait for reinforcements …. Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to die alone."
I don't want to die, but I can't stop the system from sending me to my death.
Of course, Fangzheng didn't have to say that out loud.
"I'll go with you!"
At that moment, Fina stepped forward.
"I'm a cleric. I think I can definitely help you, Mr. Fangzheng."
"Of course, Miss Fina. I'm glad you can come with me."
In fact, Fangzheng had no intention of letting Fina go. After all, she was the only spellcaster here, and only a cleric like her knew about the sealing spells of the Holy Cathedral. If it were Fangzheng himself, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out any problems even if he had a headache. Fangzheng was still thinking of how to invite her, but now that Fei Na had taken the initiative to ask, he naturally went with the flow and agreed.
As for John and the other Holy Warriors, Fangzheng wouldn't keep them. It was fine if Fina was alone. If necessary, he could escape with her. But the Holy Warriors were different. They weren't strong enough, and there were too many of them. Bringing them along would only be a burden, so it was safer to let them escort the bald Mage back to the Holy Cathedral. Anyway, the bald Mage had been silenced by Nimf and couldn't release any spells, so there was no need to worry about him.
As for the bald Mage, although he was very 'enthusiastic' and offered to lead the way for Fangzheng, Fangzheng didn't believe that he would be so kind. Considering that there were many protagonists who were cheated by snitches in various online novels, games, and animations, and that the bald Mage was a middle-aged man and not a girl, Fangzheng decisively rejected Charles' 'request' and ordered the Holy Warriors to bring him back for interrogation and punishment. Anyway, the Dark Swamp was only so big. Even if he didn't know the way, Nimf would be able to search for him as a human radar.
As time was of the essence, no one said much. Soon, Hardedef left with the Temple Warriors. At the same time, he knocked Charles unconscious and took him away. Before long, only Fangzheng, Nimfu, and Fina were left in the campsite.
"Are we going to get going too? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"No, let's wait for a while."
Looking at the young cleric, Fangzheng suddenly had an idea.
