The drunken Clara asked pitifully and tearfully, sniffling.
"It's okay, Clara, it's my fault. It's okay, let's continue playing horseback riding~"
The demon blacksmith used a gentle voice that he had never used before.
Break the jar!
---
"Hahaha..." Ivia, who had regained her spirit, covered her mouth and tried to hold back her laughter.
The demon blacksmith provoked him again and again, and Aviya could never find a reason to beat him.
Now there is no need for that. Ivia feels that even if all the bones of the Demon Blacksmith were broken, it would not be as harmful to him as these two photos.
If they were not in the Dead City where they could not move quickly, Ivia would have rushed to the scene and laughed at them immediately.
I don’t know if it was the good luck brought by Clara, but in the second round of the city, Ivia was much faster than the first round, and she didn’t even encounter many monsters.
However, as she got closer to the inner city of the Dead City, the appearance of the former Dead City began to appear before Avia's eyes.
The ruins are significantly more complete, and there are more signs of human life.
A large building blocked Ivia's way, and if she took a detour, she would be quite far away.
From the outside, it looks like this is a former Healing Church church.
The half-open gate and the tall black thorn barricades at the gate showed that after the outbreak of deathly silence, there was still a period of stubborn resistance here.
Aivia had no choice but to destroy it. She pressed against the outer wall of the church, slowly squeezing in a little bit, trying to create a collapsed building that looked dilapidated to prevent the monsters from gathering.
Chapter 491 Spiral Seal
Although this abandoned church was once a fortress against death, the years of death eroding from both inside and outside have made its walls extremely fragile.
With just a little effort, Ivia squeezed out a hole in the outer wall and entered the interior of the church as if infiltrating.
The cotton-like overflowing power of death and silence was quickly dissipated by Ivia in silence.
The scene inside the church appeared before Avia's eyes.
In the prayer room-like hall, there are many scratches on the walls and floor, obviously caused by tree erosion.
There was a pile of shriveled corpses on the ground. In the environment of the Dead City, there was no natural degradation at all. They could only be scattered all over the ground like withered trees.
These are not the bodies of monsters, but the bodies of guards who once held out here and committed suicide until they were finally broken through.
They don't want to be eroded by death and turned into mindless monsters.
On the grayish-white floor, the blood that had flowed from the corpses stuck to the ground like glue.
No, in addition to the damaged corpse, Ivia noticed a clue from the dried blood.
These corpses had intentionally fixed their positions before death in order to convey a message!
Sure enough, after turning over the largest pile of corpses, Ivia found a small metal package among the pile of corpses.
【The contractor obtains a box of debris.】
……
After wiping off the dark red bloodstains and dust on the outside of the metal box, Ivia couldn't find the switch of the box, so she could only choose to pry the box open with her bare hands.
Jump~
Bits and pieces were scattered all over the floor.
Among them was a stone with the power of death, the same stone that Perseus used before entering the City of Death.
Ivia's expression turned serious. With this thing, and the fact that the people in the church had the ability to resist, it proved that they had a chance to escape from here.
Apart from this stone, the other miscellaneous items, after careful identification by Ivia, turned out to be broken potion bottles.
However, due to its age, the metal shell could not completely isolate the erosion of the power of death, making all these precious healing potions useless.
Only a few pieces of paper, soaked in chemicals and yellowed, were left, still somewhat useful.
"Unknown newcomer, we just hope you are not a follower of the ancient gods.
As you can see, we have failed utterly. The outbreak of Death Silence is unstoppable, and even the self-sealing of the immortal gods is powerless.
But we do not regret following the god, fighting bravely with him, and sharing the overloaded life.
If you are our descendant, then please end the gods' suffering.
Before you can meet the gods, you still have four trials to pass.
The Choir's warriors are all-powerful; the Wolf Knights are brave but have fallen into madness; the Sin Collective is a collection of losers; and the Saint Lady simply needs recognition."
.........
Most of the writing is difficult to read due to its age and is as blurry as a map.
But that's enough.
[The contractor has triggered the side quest: The Unqualified Chosen One.]
Task prerequisite: Obtain the status of the chosen one and possess causally related items (due to the actions of the contractor, this task prerequisite has been forcibly ignored).
Mission requirements: Pass four trials.
Mission reward: Shelter Stone x 2.
Mission penalty: none
[Hint: The Trial of the Hymn is located in the Cathedral; the Trial of the Wolf is located in the Wolf Tomb; the Trial of the Saint is located in the Resting Place; the Trial of Sin is located in the Temple of Atonement.]
[Warning! If you approach the Supreme Sanctuary without passing the Four Gates Trial, you will be besieged by the Four Gates Trial Hosts simultaneously.]
[Shelter Stone: A special item crafted by the Healing Church workshop (the crafting method has been lost). After being integrated into a causal object, it grants a certain degree of immunity to Deathly Silence erosion.]
……
Before dying, instead of thinking about escaping, is he still thinking about saving his own god?
I have indeed received this belief.
Aivia accepted the protection stone and continued to move forward. After circling the city once, the distance of the second circle was shorter than the first.
Moreover, Ivia was already familiar with the environment. She knew where monsters gathered and she needed to slow down, and where the monsters were not interested, she could quickly skip over them.
This time, it only took half a day for Ivia to get back to the main entrance to the city, almost right under the nose of the Pale Hunter.
At this point, the division of the two spiral vitality has been preliminarily completed.
When the upper limit of the world is locked, fighting against the power of death and silence will definitely cause huge damage, and it is normal to create a gap in the world.
But now it's different. Ivia can feel the power of mindless death, which is constantly hitting the arc of vitality she has set up.
Because of the existence of an outlet, the power of dead silence cannot accumulate to a concentration that would cause a violent conflict. It flows between the two spirals and is constantly being consumed.
The only trouble now is the pale hunter lying on the city wall. Once Ivia makes any move, she will be met with a torrential rain of arrows.
Ivia could only slow down her movements as much as possible, moving at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, so as not to attract the attention of these hunters.
This is bound to be an act that requires extreme patience.
It only took Ivia half a day to circle the city for the second time, but it took her a whole day to concentrate on crossing the short distance to the city gate. Only then did she enter the inner city of the Dead City and gain a temporary blind spot by sticking to the city wall.
Looking up, Ivia finally understood what these pale hunters were guarding.
Appearing behind the city wall, in the center of the square that was the best shooting area for all the pale hunters, was a dead black maple tree.
Amidst the cotton-like force of death and silence, the dry black maple tree remained standing.
Although Ivia had no idea about this thing, it did not prevent her from knowing that when this tree was alive, it was a treasure of the Void. The Arcane Eternals had used the strongest level of combat power as the guard of the tree they owned for many years.
This one was no exception. Even though it was dead, Ivia could still feel that there was an extremely strange cause and effect in this tree.
But this is not Ivia's goal.
After entering the silent inner city, Ivia could sense Clara's location more accurately. She was just diagonally in front of her spiral footprints.
After following the path around the limestone square, Ivia arrived at a building complex again. It still had the unique architectural style of the Dead City, but the buildings here were obviously much sparser, but taller and covered a larger area.
Underfoot was grayish-white, brittle stone.
After entering the inner city, the density of monsters decreased a lot, but the concentration of the power of death was a whole level higher than that of the outer city.
Ivia tried hard to restrain her strength, which directly resulted in the formation of a dried shell on the surface of her body, just like the monster in the Dead City.
From a distance, it almost looks like it has merged with the Dead City.
Of course, Ivia would not think that it was the broken city wall that prevented the monsters from entering the Dead Inner City. The only possibility was that the monsters in the Dead Inner City were more ferocious, preventing the tree erosions from moving around in the inner city.
Ivia's constantly fluctuating health value also reveals this point. Powerful monsters are beginning to touch Ivia's life spiral.
Following the street, Ivia arrived in front of a magnificent courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and a gravel road stretched inside. There was a circular pool in the center of the courtyard. The water in it had dried up, leaving only dry moss.
The gravel road leads into the courtyard. The trees on both sides are dead. On these dead trees, the skeletons of many clergymen are hung.
There were also piles of mutated and mutilated knight skeletons piled on the ground. These skeletons were covered with armor and weapons bearing the symbol of the Healing Church.
Even after death, these skeletons still contained a lot of extraordinary power. It was obvious that they were just like the people in the church before. They did not want to be corroded by death and turned into monsters, so they chose to end their lives.
In front of this large pile of bones is an ancient and magnificent cathedral.
【Hint: The contractor has arrived at the Anmian Courtyard.】
……
Ding, ding, ding~
Crisp knocking sounds, along with heat waves, surged out from the gaps in the church's metal door.
This is where the Demon Blacksmith stays.
Clara had sensed Ivia's arrival, opened the door and happily moved closer to Ivia.
The safe zone has been notarized by the Void Tree. There is no need to continue pretending. Ivia's suppressed vitality surges out of her body, breaking through the shell and restoring her original appearance.
Clara no longer looked like a little girl, but the true form of a half-ancient god. It seemed that she had sobered up.
As soon as Ivia entered the room, she saw the blacksmith pretending to be working on iron. In fact, the thing he was hammering was not even a blank. He was just picking up something at random to pretend that he was busy.
"you…"
