Chapter 781: The Door at No. 6 St. Theresa Square

The center of Tobesk was peaceful and serene; the deep autumn night of the Pearl of the North was so comfortable.

St. Theresa Square, the warm light of the ring square street lamps sprinkled on the neatly arranged slate roads. Only a few lamps flickered occasionally, as if there was a small problem with the gas pipeline.

The street lamp light illuminated the wall of No. 6, and inside the house, on the third floor, Luweiya sat on a chair, restless, waiting for the arrival of the Star Sea Whales a few hours later. This room was piled with various experimental equipment she had transported bit by bit throughout the autumn for stargazing, including a massive stargazing instrument and a high-precision telescope.

But Luweiya was not happy because she was about to complete her autumn work; instead, she was holding the 【Ancient Rowinston Marriage Contract】. The powerful perception of a fortune-teller made her guess that Xia De must have encountered something.

She moved the crystal ball in front of her, wanting to try fortune-telling again. But before she could do anything, that familiar face actually appeared in the crystal ball:

"Xia De?!"

Tobesk southern suburbs, Galina Manor, study.

Although it was already very late, the red-haired Duchess was still dealing with some tricky documents, having a headache over the tax payment ratio for this year. Although Saladir County was her fief, she also needed to hand over a portion of the taxes to the kingdom.

A knock on the door sounded, and Tifa, wearing a black and white maid outfit, walked in with a tea tray, pouring hot black tea into the already empty teacup:

"You are always so thoughtful."

Miss Galina praised. Tifa smiled and nodded slightly, then came behind the Duchess, placing her hands on her shoulders.

"Oh, yes, this strength is truly not bad."

Picking up the teacup to rest for a while, the witch turned her head slightly to look at the night outside the window:

"I don't know what Xia De is doing now. Before going to bed in a while, I'll go to the parliament again; there should be new news about Mid-Hill Fort... oh, the necklace is lent to Xia De, I can't enter the parliament now. However, there should be new news tomorrow morning..."

She stopped her voice abruptly, because Xia De's face actually appeared in the reflection of the tea.

She frowned suspiciously, looking down at the tea, and then let Tifa let go:

"Tifa, prepare the carriage, we are going to No. 6 St. Theresa Square now."

"Do you need to prepare anything extra?"

The maid lady asked softly. The witch pondered for a moment:

"Bring people with us into the city, and prepare relics and spellcasting materials in the basement... This is probably a big trouble this time."

The sound of hooves and wheels in the middle of the night didn't know how many citizens along the street were disturbed. The coachman received the order to move at the fastest speed, but even so, by the time the witch's party arrived at St. Theresa Square, the time was already close to eleven o'clock that night.

In addition to Miss Galina and Tifa, there were also two high-ring female sorcerers and six middle-ring female sorcerers accompanying them.

Tifa got off the carriage first. She knew Xia De was not there, so she wanted to destroy the door lock and open the door. But unexpectedly, just as she stepped onto the steps, the door was opened, and the purple-eyed girl opened the door, as if she had been waiting for them all along.

Because Luweiya had stayed at the manor, Tifa also knew her relationship with Xia De, so she recognized who this was:

"Good evening, Miss Anate."

"Good evening, come in quickly, I have also received Xia De's 'last words'."

She waved to the outside. Miss Galina, who got off the carriage, nodded, and then led a group of people into No. 6 St. Theresa Square, where the lights in the foyer were on.

There was no time for more pleasantries. Luweiya said in a very fast voice while going upstairs:

"Xia De wants us to find a way to open a door to true death here."

"Although he asked me for help, I can't do it either."

The red-haired Duchess said, her boots stepping on the stairs, making a very urgent sound. The group went to the second floor.

"I have a way, Xia De once told me some things, his experiences in the Fifth Era."

Tifa passed Luweiya on the stairs, opened the door on the second floor, and the group entered it. Luweiya continued:

"He said it like this when telling the story: need to find a boundary between life and death, with an official member of the parliament as the executioner, using the power of the parliament to bring the projection of the 【Gate of Death】 to the boundary, and the effect after opening the door is exactly the same as the main body. (Chapter 722)"

Miss Galina sat on the sofa and frowned slightly. Those middle-ring sorcerers went to the third floor to wait first, and the two high-ring sorcerers stood behind the sofa waiting for orders:

"Boundary? Xia De mentioned it to me, the third floor here is the boundary. But there is still a problem, the life-death boundary of No. 6 St. Theresa Square is in an extremely inactive state. Unless we are lucky enough that it opens again tonight, we cannot enter it..."

If the boundary on the third floor could be opened so easily, the church would not have checked it so many times without discovering the strangeness of the third floor.

But Miss Galina frowned again and said:

"I remember Xia De said that the Mid-Hill Fort earthquake would temporarily open the boundary here."

"That was before, now through the ritual, the upstairs has completed the seal and it is impossible to open it actively. But it doesn't matter, I have this."

Luweiya took out the blood-stained parchment scroll 【Ancient Rowinston Marriage Contract】 and placed it on the coffee table:

"One of the characteristics, writing the names of the living and the dead on it can break the life-death boundary. (Chapter 558)"

The Duchess revealed a smile, sizing up Luweiya:

"It seems that he chose you, and it's not without effect. But this still has a problem. Even if we enter the boundary, we cannot bring the projection of the 【Gate of Death】. Perhaps the Witch Parliament of the Fifth Era could, but in the Sixth Era now, the parliament has long lost such means. At least, I have never heard of a Great Witch being able to do this."

"Not even information?"

Luweiya didn't think of this, but soon had an idea:

"Open the boundary channel first, I think there will be a way."

Breaking the life-death boundary through the 【Ancient Rowinston Marriage Contract】 actually utilized the characteristics of the relic when it was out of control. This was extremely dangerous, so the female sorcerers brought by Miss Galina, combined with the sealing ritual on the third floor, also arranged a more complex relic out-of-control countermeasure ritual.

The group was crowded in the corridor. Confirming that they were ready, Luweiya pricked her fingertip with a thin needle, dripped blood into the ink, and wrote Xia De's and her names with the blood-mixed ink.

Because Xia De entered death in the flesh, his "ghost" was not summoned by the contract. But in the corridor on the third floor, faint white fog appeared abruptly:

"Opened."

Miss Galina said, staring at the increasingly thick fog in front of her:

"Anate, Tifa, you come in with me. Fatier, Nina, you stay here to maintain the stability of the channel."

The three stepped into the fog representing the boundary. With the change of space, they stepped on the old floor of the third floor of No. 6 St. Theresa Square, which seemed to have been abandoned for a hundred years.

The appearance here was even more dilapidated than before Xia De repaired the third floor. And because this boundary only contained a part of the corridor, it was extremely narrow, making people feel stuffy.

The life-death boundary only had three colors: black, white, and gray, and the evil spirits lingering here soon discovered these living people. But before they could make a move, Tifa took the initiative to carry out the "cleaning" work.

This was not Mid-Hill Fort; the evil spirits here were just ordinary evil spirits. Needless to say Tifa, even Xia De at the third ring could deal with them with ease.

"So, this is the so-called life-death boundary..."

The red-haired witch sighed, reached out and touched the gray moss on the wall, raised her eyebrows slightly, surprised by the richness of the death aura:

"So, Xia De sleeps near this kind of environment every day. He actually didn't consider moving, is he really at ease, or is the so-called curse of this house affecting him?"

Luweiya ignored the witch's self-talk. Her eyes looked into the void without focus, while listening to the sound.

Miss Galina also noticed her abnormality, but this strange appearance did not last long:

"I got a hint from my 'other self', she helped me capture some traces of fate. The Witch Parliament of the Sixth Era lost the method of summoning the projection of the Gate of Death, which does not mean the parliament does not have this function."

Miss Galina nodded:

"That is indeed the case."

"Although I don't know how the witches of the past did it, we can try it. The key is 'summoning the power of the parliament', 'pointing to the Gate of Death', and 'opening the door'."

"Although the necklace is not on me, I am a witch with a seat after all. Summoning the power of the parliament is not difficult, how to point to the Gate of Death?"

Luweiya thought for a while, took a coin out of her pocket, which was the 【Soul Coin of the Fanatic】 purchased with the help of the Fortune-Teller Association. In addition to the face of the person covering their face, there were ancient language characters written on it —

【Faith, therefore has value.】

Luweiya said nothing, and in front of the witch, threw the coin away. The relic turned into fly ash in front of Miss Galina, and Luweiya got the answer:

"Using a relic with door characteristics, drawing the holy emblem of the Old God 【Ancient God of Death】 on the door can refer to the 'Gate of Death' in the boundary."

"Xia De's eye for choosing women is really not bad."

Miss Galina smiled, reaching out to pick Luweiya's chin, but was dodged by the latter.

Luweiya said sternly:

"Sorry, I'm not interested in women, I only like Xia De."

"That's a coincidence, I also like Xia De very much... Is there a door here?"

"Of course there is, Room 2 downstairs, 【Traveler's Travel Door】."

"Here, there really is everything..."

The wooden door with a metal base was soon moved to the boundary by two middle-ring female sorcerers and stood in the center of the dilapidated corridor.

Tifa took some corpse grass growing in the corner of the wall, mixed it with corpse oil brought from the manor and special spiritual ink, and then engraved the holy emblem of the ancient God of Death recorded in the ancient books of the parliament on the wooden door. The original decoration on the wooden door was a "double-faced person" with faces facing two directions, and the holy emblem was drawn on the top of the double-faced person's head.

"Praise the Chaos Witch, may the radiance of the witch last forever."

With Miss Galina's prayer, the eleven-tier golden steps representing the witch's power appeared behind her. And at the end of the steps, a door with the holy emblem of the Old God 【Chaos Witch】 appeared. Slight miracle and whisper spiritual light penetrated from behind the door and shone on the 【Traveler's Travel Door】 in front of Miss Galina.

This relic was melting, or rather, it looked like it was melting. The holy emblem of the ancient God of Death was affected by the power of the Chaos Old God, and the wooden door was gradually transforming into a stone door, and on the stone door, it was impressively the pattern on the 【Gate of Death】 that Xia De had described.

Miss Galina reached out to push the door, but the door remained motionless.

Her Fate Ring and golden steps appeared simultaneously, and her hands, which had added various miracle powers, exerted force again, but even so, the door in front of her was still not pushed open:

"Calling the power of the parliament, pointing to the Gate of Death. Both points have been achieved, so fortune-teller, how to open the door in the end? This should be very difficult, even if I don't understand the characteristics of the Gate of Death, I know what opening this door means."

Tifa looked at Luweiya, Luweiya pondered for a while:

"Maybe it's not that troublesome."

Her hand reached into her pocket again, this time taking out a black iron-colored key, with thin ancient letters like earthworms written on it, the sentence that Xia De remembered deeply 【The only lock that cannot be opened is the heart lock of the girls】. (Chapter 650)

She handed the key to the Duchess, who took it hesitantly:

"This is the poet-level relic 【Universal Key】? Such a coincidence, why is it in your hands?"

"Maybe it's fate"

Luweiya said, but the fact was that when she woke up this morning, the whispering sound in her ear made her bring this key.

Miss Galina shook her head slightly, as if warning, but also as if admonishing:

"Everyone has their own secrets, Xia De seems to like girls with secrets like you very much. We can talk about your affairs later, now let's save that restless young man first."

She aimed the key at the stone door, and with the blood vessels on her fair wrist bulging, she turned the key with great force. The key turned into sand because it was used, flowing down from the witch's fingers.

The door in front of her actually opened slowly, and the cold black wind forced the few people currently in the boundary on the third floor to retreat.

Not only that, Luweiya's four-ring Fate Ring behind her, Tifa's six-ring Fate Ring behind her, and Miss Galina's eleven-ring sorcerer Fate Ring behind her all appeared actively and rotated rapidly.

Black iron-colored spiritual light gathered, and the aura of death surrounded them. The ladies who opened up a brand new path of death in the material world received unexpected feedback. ===== CHAPTER 782 =====
