Chapter 376 – The Throne and the Oath (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Chapter 376 – Throne and Vow (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
“Pure White Throne?” Monroe looked confused, he didn’t find any throne in the palace.
He then looked at a few other people, and found that each of them had a complex face, unable to read their inner reactions.
“I don’t see any Pure White Throne, and if sitting on that whatever throne will give you control over the Elven Valley, then why don’t you sit on it?” Cassillo immediately asked with a sneer.
She clearly didn’t believe it.
Saul was not flustered.
As long as the liar was convinced, the listener would inevitably be skeptical.
Besides, what he said wasn’t entirely false.
He saw the planet he was on just by resting one hand on the throne, and if he really sat on it, he might even see something else.
At that time, when Saul was just curious about what was on the back of the planet, the planet immediately turned to the back to show him, so obviously Saul at that time had some access.
It was just that whether this permission was good or bad, more or less, Saul wasn’t sure, but that didn’t stop him from taking it out and drawing it as a big pie.
“Because I’m not staying here. I’m only here to gather a little of this.”
Saul lifted his arm, his skin suddenly cracking as something unseen squeezed out from underneath it a little.
He looked to Konsa, “Which Konsa can attest to.”
Konza narrowed his eyes, “That’s true, but if you don’t want to stay, does anyone else want to?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Sol slowly wriggled his muscles, letting the transparent cryptocrystalline matter rest against his bones, “If none of you really want to sit on the Pure White Throne ……”
He raised his hand and pushed Agu, who was beside him, forward a bit, “If none of you really want to sit on the throne, I’ll just sacrifice one of my men. One is already dead anyway.”
One by one, the several people who were just saying that they didn’t want to stay flickered their eyes and fell silent again.
Saul continued, “At that time, let the person sitting on the throne open the passageway out of the valley, and the rest of us can leave safely.”
He then spread his hands, “Of course, you guys can also not believe it, anyway, I came back to find two of my men, and in the meantime, I will sell this news for a price. Whether you guys join me or not, I will go over and open the passage tomorrow.”
“But what if the creepy being in the palace starts asking for our lost treasures again?” Monroe asked.
Sol said indifferently, “It’s not like I took it anyway. If I can go in once, I can go in a second time, and as for the others, if they want to follow me in, they can pay; if they want to go to the throne on their own, they can go alone …… I won’t stop them.”
“As for that stolen treasure …… If you have the ability, bring it out; if you don’t have the ability, die inside.” He acted like he didn t care about any treasure at all.
Saul said this frankly, making the people who originally thought of secretly going to look for the throne by themselves hesitate.
“Although it’s very hard to go back to that palace ……,” Kong Sha said quietly after a long time, “but we’ve already been trapped here for more than half a year, maybe what Saul found is exactly our last chance to escape. ”
The three remaining people took a stand.
“To stay any longer would be madness.” Monroe said as he looked at Casillo.
“Okay.” Mark nodded back, “Maybe that’s why Konza called you over, you’re always finding something new.”
Lastly, there was Cassillo, who stood in a trance and suddenly murmured, “If we don’t escape this time, we’ll die in there together. I want to become a lamp, not a chair.”
A few people agreed, and Saul took the three consciousnesses into a random house to rest.
After he sat down, he suddenly looked up at Agu, “There should be no more problems here, so I’ll ask you again.”
What else did you …… encounter in the palace?”
Agu pulled a smile from his stiff face, “Master, after you went upstairs, I was also forcibly invited into a magical space.”
Morton and Herman looked at Agu, they didn’t expect Agu to have such an experience, he didn’t mention it at all when they reunited in the forest. “I was sent into the normal staircase, but when I went up to the second floor, I entered a black space. There were many voices talking there. I listened for a long time before I could make out ……”
Agu faced Sol and suddenly winced.
“They handed me something and made me promise not to hurt me by promising to bring it out to a half-elf.”
There was a moment of surprise from the crowd.
Sol immediately pressed, “What was it?”
Agu squatted down facing Saul and pointed to his own head, “They shoved something into my brain, saying that if I didn’t fulfill the oath, the thing would turn me into a chair, or a blade of grass, forever topping the human mind as a dead thing that couldn’t move.”
“And the two cryptocrystalline masses, they gave them to me. They said that if you doubted me, let me give you the cryptocrystalline substance and it would dispel your doubts. They also said that if I needed the cryptocrystalline substance, I could kill my companions around me at will, and that the valley would soon grind their souls and flesh into new cryptocrystalline substance.”
“Cryptocrystalline mass is made of people?” Herman whimpered, and then he hastily clenched his teeth, afraid that he was too loud to be heard by outsiders.
Saul was not so surprised, but instead had a sense of relief that this was the case.
From the moment he picked up the cryptocrystalline substance at the place where Lyon disappeared, he had vaguely suspected the origin of this cryptocrystalline substance.
“I’m afraid that the two cryptocrystalline masses you gave me were also made by the people who died in the palace in the first place.” He leaned forward slightly, his hand resting on his chin, “Why didn’t they look for me? It’s obvious that I, protected by you, should be the one more likely to leave the valley, right?”
Hearing this, Morton said hesitantly, “Perhaps, it is because you, master, chose another path first that they could not choose you.”
And Agu offered another conjecture, “I think it could also be that you, master, are gifted with a high level of spiritual power, high enough to counteract the effects of the power of their oaths.”
Thor thought both men had a point, but he also had his own thoughts.
“Actually, the first one to make a choice was me. But the reason why I was given the opportunity to make the choice was still because my spiritual power was stable enough to pass the test of the nine-story room.”
Saul didn’t specifically mention what he had gone through on that weird and twisted staircase, so the crowd wasn’t sure about the conditions for ascending the stairs.
“The Pure White Throne isn’t really that hard to find; just walk to the last rotunda, ascend the twisted staircase all the way to the end, and you’ll see the throne. But the way they reacted today, at least two of them didn’t know about the existence of the Pure White Throne.”
Agu nodded repeatedly, “That means not everyone can see the twisted staircase. I could see it, most likely because I was following you, master.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Sol revealed a slight smile, “Your mental bodies have actually been reinforced, and it is possible for you to see the twisted staircase even if you enter alone.”
Saul then curtailed his smile again.
“With the existence of a peculiar staircase like that, and with a faint call coming from inside, as long as those who come to the palace with some intentions, nine times out of ten, they will choose to enter that twisted staircase first.”
Saul gently rubbed his chin, “Another question comes to mind. If the first person to enter chooses the twisted staircase, is it possible that those who come after them will never see or choose that staircase again? In that case, there would be at most one person who knows about the Pure White Throne.”
“But according to you, there is no way to ascend that staircase if the mental body is not stable enough.” Herman said doubtfully.
“Yes.” Saul nodded, “But that group of people are not ordinary second level apprentices, they can be invited into the valley by Kongsha, they are all powerful but hopelessly promoted apprentices.”
He paused and added, “And Kong Sha, when I first entered the tower, was known for her extremely stable mental body. Three years ago, she was able to fire off four or five 1st rank sorceries in a row without having to worry about the shock to her mental body.”
Saul looked towards his conscious bodies, “So I think Kongsha …… is definitely qualified to step up the twisted staircase! That’s why she was there at the Pure White Throne in the first place, taking the Elf King’s head!”
Sol clenched his fists, “So she took the elf’s treasure and none of the other apprentices knew about it!”
Morton nodded in agreement, “That’s right, plus that treasure helps her blur the others’ perceptions, which is why she crowned something on her head, and so even less people found out.”
Agu raised a hand to the top of his head and asked somewhat hesitantly, “Then, master, do you think I’ll be the only one bound to the Dark Dimension to make an oath to give something to the half-elf?”
“Of course not!” Sol laughed, “I think you’ll have plenty of company.”
I have to run to the hospital again, so if I don’t have a second chapter in ten minutes, please come back at five in the evening. Sorry~
And then cheekily proceed to ask for monthly votes!
In fact, I’d like to say that the one hundred monthly votes that I only begged for last night ended up being reached, hahahahaha, reader lords give it a go!!!! As long as I’m back early today, I’ll be sure to add another one!
