"Including my Barons, there are a total of eleven teams participating in this Red Banquet …
Once I announce the start of the banquet, you will step into the portal according to your serial number.
Different teams will randomly appear in the outer area of the Scarlet House.
My pets and I will be the last to enter as the 'patrollers' of this banquet.
If you stay in a certain area for a long time, it will greatly increase the chances of encountering me … Once I see you, there is only one choice you can make, and that is to think of a way to escape my pursuit.
Use all your abilities and think of all ways to obtain the noble 'royal blood brew'!
Now, I announce the official start of the Scarlet Banquet. "
The moment he finished speaking.
Whoosh ~ The giant red wings on Count's back suddenly spread open.
He straightened his arm and pointed his bright red and sharp fingernails at the door to the alternate dimension in the center of the main hall.
The team with serial number [1] was Han Dong's team, led by Blood Knight Lucius. Everyone stepped into the portal.
It felt completely different from the Gate of Destiny.
First, there was the feeling of their bodies passing through some kind of mucus membrane.
Then, a pungent fishy smell quickly assaulted their nostrils. Their bodies felt as if they were wrapped in a slippery fishy substance, as if they had fallen into a quagmire full of smelly substances …
Their bodies slowly sank until they touched the solid floor.
The teleportation ended.
Although the team members' endurance was very good, because their bodies were completely submerged in the smelly substance, there was a strong sense of spatial repulsion that affected their brains.
Senior Zhen, Lunze, and Demps were obviously uncomfortable and almost vomited.
Lucius and Abel didn't look too good and just needed a little rest.
Only Han Dong immediately immersed himself in observing the environment of the alternate dimension the moment he landed …
The team was currently in a secret room that was mainly bright red.
It was a two-story library area.
Four bookshelves full of books neatly leaned against the wall.
In the center, there was a square wooden desk equipped with white paper, a fountain pen, and an unsealed ink container.
Drip, drip, drip …
Blood kept dripping down from the cracked top, falling right into the ink box …
It seemed that everyone needed to write down the correct words or draw some special symbols to leave the room …
But from the current clues, the difficulty of deciphering it seemed to be quite high.
It was obvious.
The first test tested everyone's insight, analysis, and deduction abilities.
Han Dong, who had been a university professor before his death, was the best at this … Moreover, the key points of the decryption also corresponded to the books that Han Dong was most familiar with.
Most people would have a headache if they saw the thousands of books arranged here. It was impossible for them to study them carefully to decipher the clues to escape the secret room.
"Is this a space created by the Blood God?"
Lucius reached out and caught a drop of blood dripping from the ceiling. It seemed to have a homologous resonance with the Scarlet Curse in his body.
If this was really a space created by the Blood God.
Once they obtained the Royal Blood Brew, they would never allow the party to bring it back to the Celestial Capital …
The drinking of the blood brew and the conferring of titles would all be completed here.
Just like the information Han Dong had collected in advance, the Blood God would also monitor the internal situation of the [Scarlet House].
However, from the look in Lucius's eyes, it seemed that he was already prepared.
Just when everyone had recovered from their uncomfortable state, a voice suddenly rang out.
Han Dong had already taken a book from one of the bookshelves (these books had been inspected by the little magic eye, and there was nothing strange about them).
The reason why he chose this book was that its title and category clearly did not match the bookshelf it was placed on.
Through this screening method, Han Dong also found a book that was placed incorrectly on each of the other three bookshelves.
[Blood Lotus], [Duke Myersbo's Petition], [The Origin of the Tarigan River], and [The Sacrificial Culture of the Zudahaga Tribe].
"Do we need to select special words and symbols from these four books and write them on white paper?"
Senior Lunze felt a headache coming on.
Although he was born in a library, he majored in necromancy and rarely studied books.
"No … Count said at the beginning that if we stay in a certain area for too long, the chances of encountering him will greatly increase.
The design of the levels shouldn't deliberately delay our time and won't make us spend a long time reading these books. As long as the method is correct, we will be able to decipher them quickly.
The information isn't hidden in the books, it should be in their titles. "
The cover of [The Origin of the Tarigan River] had a picture of a triangle and an inverted triangle. Han Dong drew it on white paper as a background.
Then, he took the English words from the titles of the other three books and put them together into a short paragraph of text.
After the first spelling mistake, the white paper was immediately melted by the blood ink, and a new piece of white paper appeared on the table.
In the end, after three failed attempts, Han Dong basically knew what the correct answer was.
"Captain Lucius, you write …"
Han Dong purposely passed the pen to him.
The text was correctly put together: [The Blood Sacrifice of the Worshippers].
For a moment, a red light shot out from the surface of the white paper and reached the ceiling of the library. During this process, the mark on the white paper seemed to be bound to Lucius, who had written this paragraph of text.
Due to the effect of the red light, the already cracked ceiling completely cracked open.
A large amount of red water poured down and completely filled the library in a short time.
With the help of the buoyancy of the red water, everyone climbed out of the library from the top, passed the initial test, and came to the true [Scarlet House].
The library area where everyone was initially at was just a pool of blood.
The current location was similar to an underground tomb.
In the open area of the heptagon, each wall corresponded to a stone door.
The surface of the large stone door facing everyone was engraved with a portrait of a woman who was being enshrined.
However, the enshrined item in her hand was in the shape of a 'vacant groove.' It seemed that everyone needed to fill in the enshrined item before the door would open and lead everyone into a deeper area.
These so-called enshrined items should be hidden in the remaining six stone doors.
"The number of stone doors corresponds to the number of people in our team … Let's see if we can act together."
In a completely unknown and uncertain space, it was best to act together.
However.
The stone door would only open when one person approached it alone.
If they tried to force the door open or enter with more people, it might lead to unexpected and dangerous results.
Since the members of the team were not weak, Captain Lucius directly gave an order. "Act separately. Once you get the tribute, return quickly."
Rumble!
The stone door sank.
The six people entered the dark passage corresponding to different stone doors.
