As soon as Jenkins finished speaking, at least dozens of cocoons began to shake abnormally, but those shaking cocoons only shook after he spoke in the common language, which shows that most of the souls here belong to the eighteenth century, and there is no "ancient strong" By".
He chose one at random, and while retracting the falling metal cocoon, he looked at the man-faced snake vigilantly. After cutting the cocoon, it really smelled "Nolan's scent" again, and this time it was a woman who crawled out of it.
The age shown by her soul must be older than the miner and conductor just now, but she is still far from being called an old lady. The women's clothes are also much brighter. Although they can't be called exquisite, at least there are no patches or dust.
"No need to ask, I belong to the Witch's House. William, I didn't expect you to be the savior."
The voice was very calm.
"you know me?"
Jenkins did have conflicts with this illegal organization, but most of the time he fought against each other as a "lie believer". Members of the Witch's House are good at dealing with nobles and government officials, using power and beauty to deal with the upper class, which is why they lost so badly.
When I met this organization, although Jenkins was only a baron, at that time, Bishop Parode wanted him to be the next candidate for the bishop of the Church of the Sages in the Norland area, so the other party may indeed have seen him. Photo.
"So, is the end of the era now?"
The woman sat on the ground leaning on the metal cocoon and asked.
"If my trip fails, the end will probably come."
He tried to state the facts in a tone of regret.
"So that's how it is... This is the final decisive battle, and it will be in a strange place."
This woman used to be the leader of the Witch's House, one of the so-called "Seven Witches" of that organization. She died in the battle that called the Hanging Shadow of the Shadow Realm, and was killed by the Orthodox Church on the battlefield.
She also has a tragic past, although Jenkins was curious, but did not let her go into details. I only know that it has something to do with the miserable childhood, the farmer's family that went bankrupt because of the enclosure movement, the alcoholic father, the sweet-talking young lovers and so on. This is another poor but hateful person born under the tragedy of the times.
But everyone has a story, and Jenkins doesn't have time for pity now, he just wants to know what's going on here.
"The cocoon blinds my eyes, but it doesn't stop me from seeing the shadows. There really is a worm here..."
Instead of looking at the woman, Jenkins stared at the snake. The latter was still coiled there, spitting out letters with a strange smile and watching the two talking.
"The worm, which is very large and seems to have horns, is in the body of one of the great demons, hid in it and hibernates, while absorbing the power of the demon."
Jenkins suddenly realized, so it made sense. If he does do it by sacrificing someone else, go find that door. Then it is definitely not just the devil who is awakened, the worm will also be awakened in a way that is almost "sacrifice", and then he has to fight part of the power of the beast of disaster [Earthfire Worm] in the magma.
From this point of view, if you sacrifice more souls to explore the way, you must face more demons. If you sympathize with souls, you will only face magma.
With the intervention of the difference engine, the human-faced snake will encourage the entrants to sacrifice their souls, so as to awaken the temporarily sleeping disaster beasts.
"That is to say, the beast of calamity is also restricted in the deceitful realm, and cannot move freely. It must go through a certain opportunity to show its power... There is no mortal situation in the deceitful realm, and without sacrificing the soul, there should be safe exploration in the magma." Methods… "
He looked at the snake again:
"I'm restricted by the strange world, and you are probably also restricted by the strange world. This is probably the reason why your malice has always been restrained?"
"So, have you found a way to leave?"
Jenkins did not answer, but said to the woman:
"I'll send you off, but I don't promise..."
"You don't have to send me away, just destroy my soul."
"Sorry, what did you say?"
The giver should understand the value of her own soul better. Her request is even more incomprehensible than suicide.
"What if I keep going? What I want is complete relief."
She looked at Jenkins seriously:
"I've had enough. I've had enough. What if I go on and live in another world again? Where is there no suffering? I've had enough."
"Don't because of the time you lived..."
He didn't continue talking, but took out the exact same cross as before again:
"You have to understand that what I promised was to send you away, not to destroy your soul. I am a person who keeps my word."
The cross turned to dust in his hands, and the woman's soul was gone. Jenkins clapped his hands, glanced at the snake, and took his sword to the point where the boulder joined the cavern's blocked entrance:
"This puzzle is a bit too simple!"
Holding the sword in both hands, he stabbed into the ground. With the eruption of the white sword light, the dust rose, and the big rock broke directly from the cliff and fell into the rising magma below.
The rock hit the magma surface, and then, as Jenkins thought, it fell like a rock falling on a pile of cotton. The magma didn't engulf the rock, or even throw it off balance. And obviously Jenkins was already above the magma, but the demons didn't reach out to catch him again.
He retracted the sword, put on the monocle, and looked down the magma. The snake didn't speak until Jenkins started walking again, hugging the metal cocoons left by the three souls together, using the sword as scissors, and the drawn wire as needle and thread. The three layers of metal cocoons were put together to form a Not airtight for sure, but at least able to keep Jenkins in a secure case for a few seconds.
Hidden within, Jenkins was able to enter the lava and thus gain access to the door. It's just that he doesn't know what the demon group that has awakened under the magma is doing, and whether they will attack him after entering the magma.
"If you don't use your plot, I'm leaving."
In front of the protective cover of Jenkins' metal cocoon, Jenkins said to the snake. The human-faced snake couldn't make a shrug, so it just spat out a few more words:
"You will regret this."
"What do you regret?"
"You shouldn't be here at all, savior, you have no hope of winning, so why can't you wait for death in peace? This is a good move for everyone."
