The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 37 No.30 Act Seven. Core Hall
The long corridor extended from the square to the bottom of the fortress. Rosen felt that he had been traveling underground. The surrounding firelight swayed and the air became colder.

"The core of the defensive circle is located in the depths of the fortress. This is the circle left over from the second holy war. At that time, this ultramarine fortress was still in the hinterland of order and civilization. No one would have expected that today, this circle would become a defensive circle. The only reliance of the minions of the people of Chaos."

said Gascoigne, holding the torch aloft, lighting the way ahead.

Grandia followed closely behind, biting her lower lip tightly, her face pale, obviously not used to the temperature here.

Rosen was at the end. Gascoigne asked Lena to inform the others to organize the defense, but Rosen was left behind.

With the idea that De Gray's tomb might be at the core of the fortress, Rosen silently followed. It must be said that his identity as a gray knight is really useful, and Gascoigne's kind attitude towards Rosen now , I am afraid that more than [-]% of them value his identity.

"The magic circle will only release the seal when the magic wave comes. The purpose is to prevent people with ulterior motives from using this fortress to do some shady things. After all, when the magic circle is opened, this group of green fortresses is comparable to that of the first holy war. Fortress of Fran."

Rosen had heard that Fort Farland was a legendary fortress during the first jihad. As the front line against the people of Chaos, it stood firm in several battles and became a legend, but it was finally defeated by the second leader of the four clans and the undead. Destroyed by the jihad and drowned in the wilderness.

"This way, Miss Grantia."

Gascoigne said, and the torch was drawn to one side, illuminating a stone door.

Scenes from creation myths are engraved around the simple and heavy door, and ancient runes are arranged in it. The whole door shows a sacred atmosphere, as if just touching it can bring people back to those glorious and glorious times. .

"Please put your hand on the stone door. Only members of the Ulysses family can open this door."

With that said, Gascoigne made way for Grandia to step forward.

"Ok."

Slightly stroking his chest, Grandia took a deep breath, and then gently placed her white right hand on the stone gate.

boom -

A deep sound came from the ground, and years of dust fell, causing a burst of dust to fly in the corridor. In this haze, the door was slowly lifted, revealing the core hall that had been dusty for many years in front of the three of them.

"This is."

The moment he walked in the door, the originally dim hall immediately lit up with dazzling flames, sweeping away the darkness.

This is a round hall, the dome is like a blue sky, surrounded by burning torches, the marble floor is flat and smooth, and the walls on all sides are the scenes of the creation of the goddess described in the Psalm of the Rainbow. In the center of the hall, a stone pillar stands, as if the millennium is but a moment.

"This is the core hall of the Ultramarine Fortress, which is the core mechanism of the defensive technique, Miss Grandia, please."

Bowing deeply, Gascoigne saluted like an ancient knight, solemnly and solemnly.

"Well, I know."

Grandia nodded, and approached the stone pillar step by step, just as she was about to stretch out her right hand that was originally on her chest——

"careful!"

Rosen was the first to react.

Everything is in slow motion.

Rosen, who was still looking for traces of the cemetery, felt a scorching breath coming from behind him. He instinctively rolled to one side. After a short breath, a flaming arrow pierced through where he was before, and finally hit the side the wall, leaving a scorched black hole.

"who is it?"

Gascoigne unsheathed his long sword, "Jue"'s perception ability was immediately activated, and he finally locked the target in the shadow of the corridor.

This flame arrow is definitely not something that can be activated by magic items. The caster must be a mage. Thinking of the mage who is currently in the Ultramarine Fortress, Rosen quickly came up with the answer.

"Don't hide, Mr. Xerath."

Following Rosen's words, the man also slowly came out from the shadows.

With gray hair, a beard that grows to his chest, and the rings on the three fingers of his right hand shine, he is the blood wizard Xerath.

"That idiot Verus, if it wasn't because of him that he forced the shot, how could you escape my blow."

Xerath yelled softly. He had experienced the breath of his flame arrow in his fight with Rosen before, so he could sense the threat to a certain extent. However, he still had full confidence in the sneak attack.

With a wave of his hand, the five people following Xerath also appeared. Although their faces were quite unfamiliar, they all undoubtedly had the strength of the Black Iron Step!

The blades of several people were stained with blood, and they must have killed the guards who blocked them along the way before they came here.

"Black iron steps, I've never heard that there are so many black irons in Reggios, what did you do?"

Gascoigne smelled something bad, and he was still on guard against Xerath, with the long sword in his hand ready to strike.

"I just got a dose of the formula."

Xerath smiled, but did not answer directly.

".You turned to a cultist?"

Gascoigne immediately understood what Xerath meant.

The formula Xerath got should be the "price of power" listed as an absolute forbidden drug by the Rainbow Tower and the Temple. This potion can greatly improve the strength in a short period of time, enough to forcibly pull Wuwei middle-level to black The degree of iron downstream, but the side effects are also quite large. Most people who take the medicine will die suddenly after a week, so it is listed as a taboo.

The "price of power" formula has been banned for many years, and only cultists who are good at demagogy can master it.

Reminiscent of the assassination incident he heard from Grandia, Gascoigne immediately grasped the truth of the matter.

"Do you want this fortress to fall?"

"Yes, if the Ultramarine Fortress is destroyed in this demonic tide, then at least one-third of the territory of the Kingdom of Astor will be lost, and the Wendland Federation and the Charandel Republic, who are ready to move on the side, will never let this happen. Opportunity, and it seems that there is something else hidden in this fortress that originates from the goddess.”

Xerath said with a smile, it seems that the cultists are quite well informed, and they have even heard about things related to the holy relics.

"War will lead to chaos, and chaos will reveal truth."

"It seems that you have chosen this wrong path because you have been stagnant for so many years."

Gascoigne sighed, if he can't advance for many years, will he turn to darkness like Gascoigne?

After all, since ancient times, heroes are most afraid of twilight.

Shaking his head, the old knight dispelled the gloomy imagination, and the sword buzzed in his hand.

"It's the only accident that you advanced to the peak of the Black Iron, but I'm curious, how long can you last in front of these five fighters in the middle of the Black Iron?"

Xerath made a gesture, and the five men stepped forward immediately, the weapons in their hands glowing coldly under the light of the fire.

But before they could make a move, they saw a sword light falling to the ground, making a notch on the smooth marble floor, blocking the five people from Gascoigne, and a knight was standing in front of the notch.

"The only accident?"

Rosen held the long sword flat in his hand, showing his sharpness.

"It seems you have forgotten someone."
