Chapter 799: [Soul Graveyard]

Holding the cat and leaning against the back of the sofa, he turned his head slightly to look at the distance of Tobesk outside the window. On a late autumn morning, being able to stay at home doing nothing was exceptionally comfortable for an outsider who had been rushing about for the entire autumn:

"I want to have a good rest; this period of time has really been busy."

"It's time to rest. Oh, one more thing, the observation of the Star Whale has ended. Last night, when the witch and her followers were dealing with the third-floor problem, I used my astronomical telescope to see the scene of the whale swimming in the starry sky, moving toward the Dark Moon. That picture was very beautiful. Of course, later, because I observed the battle between two Great Ones, my poor telescope was shattered. Because many people are waiting for those stellar creatures, the God-Caller will probably be more famous than before. After all, no one has ever heard of a mortal who can call a god twice, especially that Silver Moon god, who is suspected to be an Old God of the past era."

Luweiya said with a smile, and Xia De shook his head embarrassedly:

"This is nothing great. If I didn't have to do that, I wouldn't want to be a vessel for God's Descent. First the Lord of Blood Banquet, then the Vampire Duke Lao Ai Er, I hope I don't encounter any more evil gods related to blood."

Xia De said with lingering fear. Luweiya didn't want to continue talking about gods; diviners are more avoidant of this point than ordinary ring sorcerers, so she changed the topic:

"Xia De, I don't want to move the stargazing equipment on the third floor. Can it stay at your house? In this way... it's also convenient for me to come over at any time at night."

Purple eyes looked at Xia De.

【Do you understand what this means?】

The voice in his ear sounded.

"Of course I understand, I'm not a fool."

Xia De responded in his heart, while on the surface he nodded gently:

"No problem, just keep the key you have. When I'm not at home, you can come over at any time... to help me feed Mia."

He and Luweiya both laughed.

"The third Chosen is Sister Daifulin, and the third stanza of the poem has finally ended."

Luweiya let out a long breath:

"In short, since this spring, so many things have happened this whole year, but this time it can be considered complete. I hope everything will be peaceful in the remaining two months of this year."

It is now October, the 25th day of the Month of Withered Leaves, Friday.

"I also hope life can be calmer; I haven't had a moment of leisure for the entire autumn."

Xia De shook his head and thought about the time:

"How about we go out to eat at noon? Difa booked a restaurant for us before she left; she said Miss Jia Lin Na asked her to help book it... After opening the Gate of Death on Wednesday night, before I returned early in the morning, what did you and Miss Jia Lin Na talk about?"

"About the Chosen, let's talk about it when you have time. I said some unimportant secrets, and she was also willing to share more topics about the Chosen with me..."

She smiled suddenly:

"Xia De, you have a really good appetite. I thought your breakfast had already filled you up."

Luweiya teased, looking down at the front of her clothes, not knowing what she was thinking of. Afterward, she took out her pocket watch, glanced at it, stood up, and pointed upstairs:

"It's not even ten o'clock yet. Let's go, before lunch, let me tell you about the third floor. Miss Difa probably told you that the Traveler's Travel Gate is scrapped, but there are other situations. I hope you won't be too surprised. Not only did I not expect this, but even that Duchess couldn't have imagined such a thing."

Holding the cat and following Luweiya to the third floor, Xia De was very happy to find that the corridor was still as it was, without the terrible scene of only ruins as he had imagined.

It's just that the traces of the sealing ritual arranged on the third floor were all gone. After Luweiya turned on the gas lamp in the corridor at the top of the stairs, Xia De was very sure that it looked no different from before.

There are three doors in the corridor, two are bedroom doors, and one is a trapdoor leading to the attic. The oil paintings hanging on the wall were chosen by Difa, and the style of the kerosene lamp was changed during the renovation. Xia De rarely used the third floor, but Luweiya had been coming here often for the past month.

"You might not believe it when I say it."

Luweiya covered her forehead with a headache-like appearance, and then the Fourth-Ring Life Ring behind her appeared. The fourth ring had a brand new black-iron whisper spiritual rune 【Death】, which was her harvest from assisting in opening the Gate of Death.

The spiritual light of 【Death】 shone on the empty corridor. In that light, the space in the center of the corridor twisted, and then a pitch-black iron fence door appeared, reaching the ceiling of the corridor, one on the left and one on the right, almost completely symmetrical.

The complex ironwork outlined the holy emblem of the Old God 【Ancient God of Death】 on the fence door. Patterns of elderflower and mandrake appeared alternately on the edges of both sides of the fence door, and black iron railings connected the two in the shape of vines. Black-iron hinges locked the two doors tightly together, but no lock could be seen.

This fence door completely blocked the entire corridor, and one could see the other part of the corridor behind the door through the gaps in the fence. It's just that white fog drifted out from the gap between the left and right fence doors.

It was not the cold, damp fog of the Interstice, but another familiar white fog.

"This..."

Xia De was dumbfounded.

"Yes, that's right, it's just as you think."

Luweiya said, came to the fence door, and pushed it. Because there were iron chains, of course, it couldn't be pushed open. She wanted to untie the iron chains, but couldn't pull them at all:

"Because of the adventure action between me and Jia Lin Na Cavendish, the 【Traveler's Travel Gate】 went out of control, and even more unfortunately, the boundary also went out of control. But fortunately, luck was not bad. The superposition of these two out-of-control states seems to have opened a door permanently fixed here. The boundary has become another kind of... wonderful space."

She turned to look at Xia De:

"Yes, it's the kind of space you are very familiar with."

"【Ancient God of Death】's legacy, Soul Graveyard?!"

Xia De gave the answer, but asked suspiciously:

"But how could it be, how could the 【Soul Graveyard】 appear here?"

"The space left by the Old God is certainly not naturally formed. They are created by some great power and can be called to descend through some special rituals. You once said that because you were also present when killing Dac Nisi, 【All-Encompassing Impermanence·Darkness】 absorbed the 【Dark Dungeon】, allowing the door of the Dark Dungeon to be placed in the basement. You also said that besides killing the Chosen, there are other ways to call these spaces with rituals or special means, but the conditions are very harsh."

Seeing Xia De nod, the purple-eyed girl continued:

"What we did that night was still a bit different from the door-opening method of the Fifth Era witches you mentioned, but it is very likely the ritual to call the gate of the 【Soul Graveyard】. That witch and I also had our eyes opened, but wanting to repeat this ritual process is almost impossible."

Actually, it is completely impossible. Xia De couldn't think of anyone else who would be trapped in death:

"Two doors in the basement, one door on the third floor, now there are three more doors in my house."

He sighed softly.

"But the problem now is that neither I nor Jia Lin Na Cavendish can open this door."

Luweiya tried to shake the hinges on the fence door again:

"I think you should be able to open it. After all, no one probably knows these wonderful spaces better than you."

She left the fence door, and the fence door slowly disappeared.

Xia De, holding the cat, reluctantly accepted the fact that he had lost another relic but gained a door. The life ring appeared behind him, and the spiritual light of 【True Death】 shone on the center of the corridor, and the fence door appeared again:

"According to my summary, entering the space left by the Old God, besides the location of the door, there are three requirements: first, there must be a corresponding spiritual rune, for example, 【Death】 and 【True Death】 are both fine."

Xia De also came to the fence door and put Mia on the floor. The cat curiously looked at the fence door in front of it, and then drilled through the gap in the fence—this was very easy for a small cat, and it successfully reached the second half of the corridor.

"Then you need a spell. For example, 【World Tree Protects Me in Time】."

Xia De said, then looked at the fence door in front of him, and finally identified the elderflower as text:

"And corresponding to 【Soul Graveyard】, it should be—【Eternal End Protects Me Before the End.】"

As he chanted softly using that ancient language, the hinges on the door began to move with a clatter. It loosened the two tightly closed fence doors and spiraled on the iron rod on the right, like a metal snake.

Luweiya tried to push it again, but still didn't push it open:

"What about the third point?"

Xia De smiled:

"The third point is that some special artifact is needed, such as 【Time Corridor】 - Time Key, 【Judge's Court】 - Old God Holy Emblem, 【Space Maze】 - Old God Statue, 【Witch Council】 - Witch Jewelry. The Dark Gate in the basement, because it was obtained through special means, does not need artifacts or spiritual runes, just spells, but this one won't work... The problem is, what special artifact is needed to open this door?"

Xia De pondered, and then pushed it casually—

Creak~

The door opened, but behind it was not the second half of the corridor where Little Mia was, but the white fog door wriggling with white fog.

"Hmm? Why did it open?"

【Put your hand on the railing.】

"She" reminded softly, Xia De immediately followed suit, and soon got the answer:

【Opening this door requires the breath of death. This requires complex rituals to achieve, but any living person who walks out of death has the breath of death on them.】

The voice of "She" sounded in his ear, and Xia De finally understood. He told Luweiya the answer, and Luweiya nodded curiously:

"Let's go in and take a look."

She grabbed Xia De's hand. This door was pushed open by Xia De, and she needed to grab Xia De to enter.

"Okay, I'm also very curious about its function."

Little Mia squeezed out from the gap in the fence again, and the cat's face showed a shocked expression looking at the white fog door, not understanding why the front and back of the door were different.

Xia De smiled and picked up Mia, and then walked into the fog door with Luweiya. ===== CHAPTER 800 =====
