As soon as Ivan entered here, he had already discovered that existence.
However, the thing had been lying on the bench in the corner of the church, and it didn't move, so Ivan ignored it at first. After seeing the statue and found nothing useful, Ivan walked in front of the thing. .
This thing looked round and fell on the bench. Ivan walked over and saw this thing bullying regularly, and heard it snoring.
He took a closer look and found that this thing turned out to be a chubby person. His beard and hair were very long, covering his face. If he didn't look closely, it looked like a ball with stray hairs rising on the top of his head.
Ivan clenched his weapon and patted the "ball" at the same time, trying to see if he was still awake.
Fortunately, this "ball" jumped up immediately after being slapped by Ivan and yelled at it.
"Who the hell has a son who has no asshole and disturbs my sleep again?"
"I'm sorry, I woke you up."
One of Ivan's hands held the one-handed hammer behind his back to prevent the "ball" from being aggressive. He asked:
"I happened to be here to find the secrets behind this country, may I ask who you are?"
"Huh? There are still people alive."
The "ball" sat up, fiddled with his hair and beard, and held an axe in his hand. It seemed that this guy was also ready to fight.
"Where did you come from here?"
"Cemetery."
Ivan replied.
"It turns out that you are also a guy who crawled out of the underworld! Haha! Then we are people who have the same disease!"
The fat ball doesn't know why it's so happy.
"My name is Flint, I'm a dwarf, and like you, I'm also an undead."
He took the initiative to let go of the axe and stretched out his hand. Ivan thought for a while, then let go and shook his hand.
"Why do you come to such a place where birds don't shit?"
After shaking hands, Flint asked:
"You must know that this is the territory of the pagans. The end of the world makes those pagans more aggressive. People with no problem will not come here."
"As far as I've seen and heard along the way, there are really few people who are still awake."
Ivan answered honestly.
"The purpose of my coming here, in fact, I have amnesia. I want to come here to see if I can remember something."
"That's right, hahaha, after all, it's such a time, where are there any people with normal brains?"
Dwarf Flint laughed and said:
"But you actually lost your memory. It seems that you must have lived in a very long time. Maybe it's an old man from the beginning of the Bright Era... No wonder I haven't seen you in the underworld."
The dwarf was warm and talkative, and Ivan couldn't help but want to chat with him more.
"Netherworld? Actually, I don't have any memory of Hades."
Ivan scratched his face.
"Actually, when I woke up, I was sitting on a chair full of tree roots, and then I walked along the passage of that room and came out of the cemetery."
"That chair might belong to the underworld."
Flint seemed to remember something particularly unfortunate.
"Hey, it's okay if you can't remember, the underworld is not a good place in the first place, not to mention that the end of the world is coming, the gate to the underworld has been broken, and now there are demons everywhere. Although we will no longer die, we are It's not so pleasant to eat the devil alive. I think that the grandson of the underworld god is probably dead, so the underworld is left unattended."
It seems that the situation in the underworld is not very optimistic.
Ivan thought for a while, then asked:
"What about you, Flint, what did you come to this country for?"
"Me? I just don't want to be eaten by demons. I took an ax and chopped it all the way out of the underworld. I thought carefully that I had never been to this pagan country before, so I thought about it."
Flint hummed:
"I am also a blacksmith. I heard that there are a lot of red sapphire stones in this forbidden country, so I wanted to pick them up. There is no fire in the underworld, but as a blacksmith, I still want to welcome the end of the world by the burning stove. "
"So it is."
Ivan sighed.
"By the way, I have nothing to do anyway. If you can find red sapphire and attractive equipment, you can bring it to me, and I can help you strengthen your weapons and equipment for free."
Flint smoothed his scruffy beard, took out a red crystal, and showed it to Ivan.
"This is red sapphire, the thing we use to make fire. Don't look at me like this, there is still technology."
"Okay."
Ivan nodded.
After that, he asked Flint about the country's intelligence, but Flint knew very little.
"I've only heard people say in the underworld that this country is a bunch of radical pagans, and every day they think about how to kill the other four gods."
Flint thought back and said:
"This country seems to enshrine a forbidden monster. He is regarded as a god. According to others, he seems to be still sleeping in the ground of this country, waiting for the moment when the doomsday wakes up."
"Is that so?"
Ivan thought for a moment.
"Then I'll go down and have a look."
"Hey?"
Flint was shocked and said:
"You didn't do it like that, right? It's a demon, but it's also a god!"
"I know, but didn't you say that the order of the underworld has collapsed, and we will no longer die when we die?"
After thinking about it, Ivan replied:
"I just wanted to go and see."
"That's fine."
Flint looked at Ivan with a strange look.
"I can't stop you if you want to die."
He showed Ivan the way down from the town.
Ivan thanked him, told Firestone Cemetery about the safe location, and said goodbye to him.
According to Flint, in addition to this town, and below this town, the citizens of the Forbidden Country built a larger network of underground structures to mine minerals, raise slaves, and worship evil gods.
The reason why Flint knew the route was because he had touched it before. In addition to being the secret base of the citizens of the Forbidden Country, it was also a vein of mine, which contained many red sapphires and rare metal minerals.
Ivan went all the way along the route he gave. In this mine, there are more and more terrifying enemies than on the ground. The people in charge of mining are even more crazy, and the pagan priests who are in charge of managing the underground facilities are also They will use terrifying spells that manipulate the raging fire, and what is even more uncomfortable is that the dogs they keep underground don't know if they have been mutated, and they will also breathe fire.
In addition to these things, there are many monsters underground, bats, small flying dragons, lizards and so on.
But in addition to these dangerous monsters, Ivan also picked up a lot of red sapphire in the ground, and he all used a garland ring to store it on the side of the gravekeeper girl.
As the journey progressed, Ivan also felt that his worn-out armor could no longer be supported.
After a long and long journey, he finally came to the bottom of the country.
Here, it has become a country of lava, and the scorching high temperature tortures everything here all the time. Both sides of the road are all flowing slowly, like a ditch-like lava river. .
At the end of this passage, the lava formed a huge lake, where the so-called "evil god" was kept.
