"The Abyss of Anos?" Joshua repeated the word in a low voice: "A certain canyon? Why have I never heard of this place?"
This is strange. Although Joshua is not qualified as a time traveler, and there are many things about the setting of Mycroft's continent that he cannot remember clearly, but if it is information related to a large organization like the Church of the Seven Gods, he It's impossible to forget.
"Not the canyon...my fault."
Realizing this problem, Loranda smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Even within the church, few people know about this place, let alone the Northern Empire..."
Having said this, he glanced around, frowned and said: "The smell here is too pungent... let's go up first."
The dungeon is indeed not a place for chatting. No one raised any objections to this. The group climbed up the corridor and arrived at the church hall.
The mages led by Moore have left, and Joshua can still vaguely sense the space-time aftermath left by the teleportation.
Since the warrior advanced to Ultimate Intention, his eyes have become sharper. Now, not only the trajectory of energy flow and the fire of life, Joshua can even see the gaps in time and space, just like in Ajax the Great. At the bottom of the volcano, he quickly sensed the natural transmission channel leading to the world of Ilgna. Of course, today's warriors are more keen than then.
This is not much different from the [Omniscient Eye] that the warrior had in his previous life. As long as he has the opportunity to go to the abyss and kill a few beholder elders, Joshua can gather the materials for the [Omniscient Ritual] and let All conspiracies and darkness have nowhere to hide before his eyes.
There were not many believers in the church in the morning, but perhaps because they had to deal with the cultists who had been interrogated before, the knights of the church seemed very busy and avoided crowded places. Everyone randomly found an empty room and went to their own places. The chair sat down and Loranda began to explain.
"Let's finish talking about the cultists first. I'll keep it short."
The Paladin never forgot the group of cultists he interrogated before, and he frowned: "Miss No. 3 has arrested more than twenty cultists before, and they all obviously belong to one cult - the Plague Church. As we all know, The Plague Church and the Five-Colored Dragon Tribe have already formed an alliance, which is basically certain that their purpose of coming here should be a derivative of the Dragon Tribe’s Revenge.”
Regarding this point, Joshua nodded. He also thought so. It is impossible for cultists to cross half of the world to come here for no reason. Even if they want to spread panic and plague, there is no need to start from the most corner of the world, Northland. , but it would be normal if it was said that this was requested by the Five-Colored Dragon Clan for revenge.
"But the group of cultists I interrogated before were not believers of the Plague Church."
Loranda continued to tell: "They come from an old blood sacrifice cult in the Western Mountains. They came to Moldavia because they heard the 'revelation' of their god, a certain big demon in the abyss."
"Revelation?"
Before the warrior could react, Artanis spoke in advance. He asked with worry: "What is the content?"
"I don't know. These are just pawns. They came to Moldavia just to explore the road. The real high-level officials probably have to wait and see."
Shaking his head, Loranda looked indeed distressed. Throughout the night, no matter how hard he tortured, the cultists could not tell any more information. It seemed that they did not know anything, but when it came to this, the Paladin He smiled and said: "It can be said that this group of people is unlucky. They don't know that another group of colleagues has come to Moldavia before, which makes us more vigilant. Otherwise, they will definitely wait for a while and avoid Stir up the limelight.”
"This cannot be taken lightly."
The old bishop was unexpectedly serious. He said seriously: "Demons who can deliver revelations all have the power to transmit messages across the abyss seals. They are all genuine great demons. They can also be regarded as overlords in the abyss. If they are against What are Moldavia’s intentions..."
At this point, Artanis was stunned by his words. He turned his head and glanced at Joshua, who was sitting in his seat.
-It seems that there is nothing that can be done...
Not long ago, the avatar of the great devil in the imperial capital was completely transmitted. For the devil cult, this was almost equivalent to the arrival of a god, but wouldn't the result be the same as being beaten to ashes by the guy in front of him
“All in all, it’s better to be careful.”
The old bishop ended the topic abruptly. He touched his white beard, and then said in a deep voice: "The problem of the cultists has been roughly understood. It's just that after several assassinations, the five-color dragon still wants to target Joshua. , in addition, there is also a demonic cult that is spying for unknown reasons... Now let’s talk about the Abyss of Anos.”
"indeed."
Hearing this, the warrior nodded and agreed: "I am very curious about what is going on in this place that allows the Church of the Seven Gods to send a supreme knight and a whole group of monks to guard it. the difference."
"The Abyss of Anos is not a canyon, nor is it even on the mainland. In fact, it is the name of a sea area in the eastern part of the far sea. That sea area has year-round storms, strange ocean currents, and countless whirlpools and undercurrents. Even the sailors who are most familiar with the sea I dare not say that I can figure out its rules, so few people will pass by there, and it is not famous in the world for this reason.”
Loranda replied simply and neatly. Since this was not information that had to be kept secret, he said it without any scruples: "Originally we called it the Abyss of Anos because the name of the discoverer was Anos. Moreover, there are turbulent undercurrents there, which are very dangerous and make people feel like they are facing an abyss.”
"But now, it lives up to its name."
The paladin's expression became extremely solemn, and he emphasized with emphasis: "In its center, there is really a space-time rift leading to the abyss."
Almost seventy years ago, in the center of this southern sea, a space-time rift suddenly appeared that was connected to a certain layer of the sea in the abyss. It was extremely small and could not even pass through living things, but the power of the two worlds could be borrowed. This mutual penetration.
If the church's fleet hadn't accidentally discovered many demonized creatures in this sea area when they were on their way, maybe humans would have noticed this even later.
Although the connection between the Abyss and the Mycrof Continent was completely sealed by the sages in the last era, more than a thousand years have passed, and no matter how tight the seal is, there will always be loopholes, and the Abyss of Anos is one of them. Representative, since the time and space rift is located in the deepest part of this dangerous sea area and is too small, it is very difficult to find it, let alone sealing or destroying it. The Church of the Seven Gods can only take the next step and send personnel to build it on the surrounding islands. Fortress garrison.
"Due to being polluted by the power of the abyss, the center of this sea area has become a foreign world similar to the [Plague Land]. The church sent people to guard it, just like Joshua and your family guard the seal of Moldavia. .”
When Loranda was talking, everyone was listening quietly, but Joshua's expression changed a little. He seemed to have remembered something, but he still listened to the paladin continue: "If there is no special magical protection, Ordinary creatures are easily harmed by the power of the abyss... Even if they have divine magic, problems may arise if they stay for a long time, so several knights usually take turns to guard the place. In order to avoid panic, the church also blocked the news."
At this point, Loranda seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. He sighed, and then said with some lack of interest: "It's me who is too worried. If something goes wrong in the Abyss of Anos, I should also We will get the news, maybe the group leader and Sister Saya left temporarily because of the dragon disaster."
He also suddenly remembered that the black-haired man in front of him was a noble of the empire and the lord of the North. No matter how much Joshua cared about the Far South and the church, he could not change the situation. A whole continent away, even with The teleportation circle is really too far away.
-perhaps.
Loranda couldn't help but think that it was time for him to go back.
Even though the church doesn't need his fighting power now, the Paladin wants to get through the current difficulties with his comrades.
Joshua, on the other hand, didn't care about Loranda's sudden change of attitude. He just lowered his head and touched his chin, seeming to be reminiscing about something.
"One of the three gates of the abyss in later generations..."
The warrior thought silently in his heart: "The whirlpool of the abyss."
"So at this time, it was called the Abyss of Anos."
Low point... I don't even know what I'm writing... Take a good rest for a day and try to get back to my best state.
If you have any comments or don't like it, be sure to leave a review and let me know what's wrong. Otherwise, I really don't know how to find status...
