This is endless darkness. After losing all the light, there are only those pairs of quietly burning eyes left. Watson feels the pressure. She breathes and feels that time and space are gradually fading away.
"Do you know what's down there?"
The voice came from the front. It seemed that Seni Lothar had been here many times. His reaction was much calmer than Watson's. He gently stroked the well wall made of holy silver with his hand, and judged the way forward by the faint light.
"I don't know. I never thought there were stairs here."
Watson replied that the Well of Ascension has always been an alchemical device in the Demon Hunting Cult. Although it is mysterious, it has not been used very often, and no one has ever thought about what is hidden under this dark well.
She followed Seni Lothair closely. The darkness seemed to have life. It was slowly wriggling, devouring the blood and flesh of living people. The witcher's pure flame could not burn at all. The light could only illuminate a corner not far in front of her, about two or three steps away.
Watson had a strange premonition that if the light disappeared and was swallowed by darkness, something terrible would definitely happen here.
"Remove impurities and make the substance purer. The good will rise upwards, while the dirty will fall downwards..."
Seni Lothaire whispered.
"sublimation."
Watson from the back replied.
"Yes, you should have guessed what's underneath, right?"
Watson took a deep breath and answered slowly.
“Those filthy things.
The secret blood is extracted from the Well of Sublimation. It is sublimated, and the impurities that fade away are thrown into the well. "
"Yes, filth, the filth and malice of this world. Ever since the Demon Hunting Cult appeared and the Well of Ascension was first forged, that filth has been accumulating in the darkness below. It has become more and more, and has even accumulated and transformed into a strange living creature."
Seni Lothar suddenly stopped and turned to look at Watson behind him.
"The Stasis Temple is alive."
Watson nodded stiffly as she answered.
"I know this. The secret blood of all demon hunters comes from a demon that has survived from ancient times to the present day. Our [Gaps] are also connected by a system called the Heart Network. This is why we can hear the commands from the Silver Bolt."
She hadn't felt such emotions in a long time, and continued speaking.
"So there is only one conclusion. The 'Temple of Stasis' itself is the ancient demon... and now it is in the deepest darkness below, right?"
Seni Lothar nodded. At this point, as the information was integrated together, the mystery would only become clearer. Moreover, under the protection of the Well of Sublimation, they did not have to worry about attacks from the Silent Ones for the time being.
"016, there is another interesting point in this information. You have also noticed it, right? The Silent Ones hunt humans, only those who touch the truth. They are protecting this secret."
“The truth behind the border.”
Watson whispered back.
"Then have you ever thought about the meaning of the existence of this Well of Sublimation?"
Seni Lothar gently stroked the ancient patterns on the wall of the well, his voice filled with confusion and astonishment.
