109 Chapters to go!! I hope you guys are still enjoying the story! ^_^
Didnt Godfather also use force to break through? Chris and his group were sweating.
Anyway, as long as it works, the method doesnt matter.
The hidden door was shattered into pieces by Robbs fist, scattering all around.
Behind the door appeared a new room. However, when this room came into view, everyone couldnt help but be astonished. Even Robb himself was momentarily dumbfounded because what they saw before them was completely unexpected.
Throughout their time in the Demon Lords castle, they had been surrounded by shades of black and dark red various uncomfortable colors, combined with a sinister, repugnant atmosphere.
Yet, this room was different.
The room was actually adorned with golden wallpaper, giving it a radiant, golden sheen. The room was sparsely furnished, with only a bed and a table, both coated in gold and shimmering brilliantly.
This style was truly bewildering!
Gorda involuntarily stiffened. Are we really still inside the Demon Lords castle?
The priest whispered, If I hadnt walked into this room from the Demon Lords chamber, Id think I was in some palace.
How could a room like this exist in the Demon Lords castle?
Chris, with his extensive adventure experience, had encountered all sorts of peculiar cultures and beliefs. He also had knowledge about interactions among various races and factions. He whispered, A non-demon inhabitant once lived here. That person liked these shiny, golden things. Out of respect and friendship, the Demon Lord deliberately created this room for their dwelling.
As soon as the group heard this, their thoughts immediately turned to their mission. The Church of Lights people!
The priest nearby murmured, Exactly, the Church of Lights members adore things that shine like gold. The radiance of gold is the color of divine magic. Heh, I must admit, I quite like it too.
At this point, Robb couldnt help but ask him, Are you a priest of the Church of Light?
I used to be a high priest! The priest laughed. But when they asked me to massacre a village of heretics, I left the Church of Light and joined the Adventurers Guild. Thats how I met Chris and the others. From what I know, there are many priests like me in adventurer parties of the Guild.
Actually, I still hold a deep love for the God of Light. I didnt want to leave the church, but I had no choice. As he spoke, his expression still bore a smile. It was evident that this event had occurred quite a while ago. Talking about it didnt evoke sorrow or anger anymore; just a trace of regret deep within. I heard theres a new Church of Light in Westwind City. Im considering joining, but Im worried it might be similar to the old Church of Light.
He chuckled and concluded, I dont want to slaughter anyone! So, now I can only be an adventurer.
Robb also laughed, I promise you, the new Church of Light is different from the old one. It wont make you kill anyone. If it does, Ill disband the new Church of Light myself.
Getting a guarantee from Godfather makes me feel at ease, the priest laughed. So, when Chris and the others get tired of adventuring and this party disbands, Ill head to Westwind City.
Lets not dwell on that for now. Lets carefully search this room, Chris interjected with a smile. I have a feeling theres something hidden here. Otherwise, the Demon Lord wouldnt have gone to such lengths to conceal this place. There must be evidence of the Demon Lord collaborating with the Church of Light.
Gorda added, This room itself is evidence, but its not conclusive.
The group began searching the room. There wasnt much to find just a bed and a table. The table was empty, and the drawers were bare. The bed lacked even sheets and was more like a frame they couldnt find anything.
The hunter suggested, Let me use a skill to search.
He employed the skill Detect Traps and swept the room. Suddenly, he exclaimed, Xuelu, step back a bit. You were standing on a magic circle.
Xuelu jumped back in surprise.
Everyone turned their attention to where Xuelu had been standing. She had been in the center of the room, where nothing was visible. However, since the hunter had pointed it out, something was definitely there.
Robb activated his True Sight and examined the floor. As expected, a magic circle was drawn on the ground. It was made using transparent magical essence, making it invisible to the naked eye. But with the skill active, the magic circle became clear.
Its size was quite substantial, at least four square meters a large circle with numerous smaller ones, adorned with intricate runes.
The warriors and priests without True Sight and Detect Traps skills could only stand by anxiously, unable to see anything.
Meanwhile, Robb, Jike, the hunter, and the two magicians crouched down together, studying the runes on the floor.
Can you tell what kind of magic circle this is? Chris asked from the side.
The two hunters shook their heads first. Even though we can see it, we cant comprehend it.
However, Robb, the female fire magician, and Xuelu managed to understand some of the runes.
Xuelu whispered, Here, theres a series of transmission runes. Look, Godfather, these characters are the same as the ones on the transmission scroll you gave us.
The female fire magician added, And heres a series of positioning runes. Connecting it with the transmission runes means its a way to teleport someone to a designated location.
After undergoing extensive studies in Arcane arts, Robb had become quite familiar with runes. He examined every circle, every rune on the magic circle, and then explained, This is a powerful positioning transmission magic circle. Regular transmission spells have limited range. However, this magic circle has many concentric circles. When activated, each circle is occupied by a magician who infuses it with magic. The combined magical power of numerous magicians amplifies the transmission range. Then, the transmission rune is activated, and it transports the person standing at the center to a distant location Theres a set of coordinates here, which represents the destination of the transmission. However, even after looking at the coordinates, I dont know where it leads.
None of the people present had a concept of coordinates, so no one could figure it out.
Robb continued, The only way to determine where this transmission array sends someone is to activate it and try.
Chris interjected, But this magic circle seems to require several magicians to infuse it with magic power simultaneously for it to activate. As soon as he said that, Chris awkwardly chuckled, Oh dear, I forgot that Godfather alone can match countless magicians.
