Chapter 376 The Throne and the Oath (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"A pure white throne?" Monroe looked bewildered; he hadn't found any throne in the palace.

He then looked at the others and found that each of them had a complicated expression, and he couldn't understand their inner reactions.

"I didn't see any pure white throne, and if sitting on that throne would allow you to control the Elf Valley, then why don't you sit on it?" Cassilo immediately asked with a cold laugh.

She clearly didn't believe it.

Thor remained calm and unhurried.

As long as the liar makes a solemn vow, the listener will inevitably be skeptical.

Besides, what he said wasn't entirely false.

He could see his planet just by placing one hand on the throne; if he were actually sitting on it, he might see other things as well.

At that time, just as Thor was wondering what was on the other side of the planet, the planet immediately turned around to show him its back, which clearly meant that Thor had certain privileges at the time.

Thor wasn't sure whether the permissions were good or bad, or whether they were too many or too few, but that didn't stop him from making empty promises.

"Because I'm not staying here. I'm only here to collect a little bit of this."

Thor raised his arm, and his skin suddenly split open, with something unseen slowly squeezing out from under his skin.

He looked at Kongsa, "Kongsa can attest to that."

Kong Sha narrowed her eyes. "That's true, but if you don't want to stay, does that mean someone else does?"

"It's alright," Thor slowly writhed his muscles, allowing the transparent crystalline substance to rest firmly against the bone. "If none of you really want to sit on the Pure White Throne..."

He raised his hand and pushed Agu forward. "If none of you really want to sit on the throne, I'll just sacrifice one of my men. One of us is already dead anyway."

The few people who had just said they didn't want to stay all turned away, their eyes darting around, and fell silent.

Thor continued, "Then, have the person sitting on the throne open the passage out of the valley, and the rest of us can leave safely."

He then shrugged, "Of course, you can choose not to believe me. Anyway, I came back to find my two men and, incidentally, to sell this information for a price. Whether you join or not, I will go there tomorrow to open the channel."

"But what if the strange beings in the palace start demanding our lost treasures again?" Monroe asked.

Thor said nonchalantly, "It's not like I took it. If I can go in once, I can go in a second time. As for others who want to come in with me, they can pay; if they want to find the throne on their own, they can go alone... I won't stop them."

"As for the stolen treasure... if you have the ability, take it out; if you don't, die inside." He acted as if he didn't care about the treasure at all.

Thor's candid words made those who had originally planned to secretly search for the throne hesitate.

"Although I really don't want to go back to that palace..." After a long while, Kongsa said softly, "we've been trapped here for more than half a year. Perhaps what Thor has discovered is our last chance to escape."

The remaining three people then expressed their opinions.

"If we stay any longer, we'll go crazy," Monroe said, looking at Casillas.

"Okay." Mark nodded. "Maybe that's why Kongsa called you over; you always manage to discover something new."

Finally, it was Cassilo's turn. She stood there in a daze, then suddenly murmured, "If we can't escape this time, let's die in there together. I want to become a lamp, not a chair."

The group reached an agreement, and Thor led the three consciousnesses to a random house to rest.

After he sat down, he suddenly looked up at Agu and said, "There shouldn't be any problems here. Now, let me ask you one more time."

What else did you encounter in the palace?

A forced smile appeared on Agu's stiff face. "Master, after you went upstairs, I was also forcibly invited into a magical space."

Morton and Herman looked at Agu. They hadn't expected Agu to have such a past, which he hadn't mentioned at all when they reunited in the forest.

"I was led into the normal stairwell, but when I got to the second floor, I entered a dark space. There were many voices talking there. I listened for a long time before I could understand them..."

Agu, facing Thor, suddenly shivered.

"They gave me something and made me promise to take it out and give it to a half-elf, in exchange for not harming me."

Everyone was surprised.

Thor immediately pressed, "What is it?"

Agu squatted down in front of Thor, pointed to his head and said, "They stuffed something into my brain and said that if I failed to fulfill my vow, that thing would turn me into a chair or a blade of grass, forever holding a person's thoughts, becoming an immobile dead thing."

"And those two Hidden Crystals were given to me by them. They said if you doubt me, let me give you the Hidden Crystals, and it will dispel your doubts. They also said that if I need Hidden Crystals, I can kill my companions at will, and the valley will soon grind their souls and bodies into new Hidden Crystals."

"Cryptocrystalline materials are made by humans?" Herman exclaimed in a low voice, then quickly clenched his teeth, afraid that his voice would be too loud and be heard by outsiders.

Thor wasn't so surprised; instead, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had known all along.

From the moment he found the cryptocrystalline substance at the place where Lyon disappeared, he had a vague suspicion about its origin.

"Those two hidden crystals you gave me were probably made by the people who died in the palace." He leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on his hand. "Why didn't they look for me? Obviously, with you protecting me, I should be the one more likely to leave the valley, right?"

Upon hearing this, Morton hesitated and said, "Perhaps it is precisely because you, Master, chose another path first that they cannot choose you."

Agu offered another conjecture: "I think it's also possible that your spiritual talent is so high, enough to offset the influence of their oath power."

Saul thought both of them made sense, but he also had his own ideas.

"Actually, I was the first to make a choice. But the reason I had the opportunity to make a choice was because my mental strength was very stable, enough to pass the test of the nine-story room."

Thor did not specify what he experienced on that strange, twisted staircase, so the others were unclear about the conditions for climbing it.

"The Pure White Throne isn't actually hard to find. Just go to the last circular hall, climb the twisted staircase all the way to the end, and you'll see the throne. But their reaction today suggests that at least two of them don't know the Pure White Throne exists."

Agu nodded repeatedly. "In other words, not everyone can see that twisted staircase. I was able to see it, most likely because I was following you, Master, at the time."

"That's not necessarily true." Thor smiled slightly. "Your spiritual bodies have actually been reinforced, so even if you enter alone, you might see the twisted staircase."

Thor then stopped smiling.

"There is such a peculiar staircase, and faint calls can be heard coming from inside. Anyone who comes to the palace with ulterior motives will most likely choose to enter that twisted staircase first."

Thor gently stroked his chin. "I've thought of another question. If the first person to enter chooses the twisted staircase, will the people after them never see or choose that staircase again? In that case, at most only one person can know about the Pure White Throne."

"But according to you, if one's mental state is not stable enough, it is impossible to climb those stairs," Herman said doubtfully.

"Yes." Thor nodded. "But those people are not ordinary second-level apprentices. They were invited into the valley by Kongsha because they are all powerful apprentices who have no hope of advancement."

He paused, then added, "Moreover, Kongsha was known for her extremely stable mental state when I first entered the tower. Three years ago, she could cast four or five first-tier spells in a row without worrying about the vibrations in her mental state."

Thor looked at his consciousness entities, "So I think Kongsha... is absolutely qualified to ascend the twisted staircase! That's why she took the Elf King's head from the Pure White Throne!"

Thor clenched his fists. "So, she took the elf's treasure, and none of the other apprentices knew!"

Morton nodded in agreement, "That's right. Plus, that treasure can help her obscure other people's perceptions, so she can put it on her head in a seemingly legitimate way, and thus no one notices."

Agu raised his hand to touch the top of his head, and asked hesitantly, "Then, Master, do you think I'll be the only one bound to the Dark Space to swear an oath to deliver the item to the half-elf?"

"Of course not!" Thor laughed. "I think you'll have plenty of companions."

I need to rush to the hospital again. If there's no second chapter in ten minutes, please come back at 5 PM. Sorry~

Then, shamelessly, I continued to beg for monthly votes!

Actually, I wanted to say that I actually managed to get the 100 monthly votes I asked for last night! Hahaha, my readers are awesome!!! If I get back early today, I'll definitely add another chapter!
