The knight in the abyss

Chapter 721 Responsibilities
"The Underworld?" Lancelot didn't expect to hear this answer at all, "Is it the Obscure Realm we just discussed?"

"That's right." Tijana nodded as a matter of course, "Since there is no response after pulling the rope, it's time to go to the other end of the rope to see what's wrong."

"But as far as I know, death is the only way to go to the Obscure Realm." Aramir looked at Tijana strangely, "We don't want to go to that plane by committing suicide, do we?"

"What? Of course not!" The succubus lord rolled his eyes at the elf priest. "Besides death, there are three ways to go to the Obscure Realm: The gods regularly send messengers directly to the city of judgment through divine power to lure believers away; Because the devil has signed an agreement with the God of the Dead, they can also go through the portal located in the Nine Hells. They will try to persuade some souls with unsteady beliefs to become a member of the devil; and the last method, which you have to use, is Through the portals that appear randomly in the bottomless abyss. It’s just that the masters of the Obscure Realm don’t welcome visitors who come through this method, because the demons will always take the opportunity to steal souls to replenish the army that is constantly being consumed by various wars .”

"Then what are we waiting for?" Brutal jumped up from the spot, "Hurry up! Dad's soul must have been stolen by some demon lord! If we move too slowly, Dad I'm about to be turned into a poor abyss worm..."

"Hehe, you underestimate the resilience of the soul. Unless you voluntarily transform a soul into a plane creature, it is a very long process. Even the most efficient hag will take several years to transform a soul into a plane creature. help's soul turned into a worm." Tijana sneered, and then her expression turned serious, "But I don't think your father was stolen by some evil demon lord who doesn't have eyes. There are three other dead people who cannot be resurrected, two dwarves and one dwarf, all of them are great artisans who are very important to Shuangqiao Town, I absolutely do not believe this is just a coincidence."

"You mean, this is a targeted attack, with the purpose of paralyzing the production capacity of Shuangqiao Town?" Lancelot frowned and asked, "Molo made some kind of arrangement in advance, so that they couldn't be resurrected?"

"There are other possibilities, such as whether serving a demon lord has caused them special attention from the king of the dead, or whether they have been exposed to a magic item that has given them a special curse." The succubus lord looked at the humans Knight, "These problems can only be solved by going to the other end of the rope."

"What exactly are we going to do?" Brutal's voice was full of urgency, "We reached the Obscure Realm, found the old man's soul, and then brought him back, is that right?"

"Don't be too impatient, dwarf, I will let people continue to use embalming techniques on your father's body to ensure that he is always in a state where he can be resurrected at any time, and I promise you that as long as you can get his soul back, even if it is already After soaking in the river of Styx for a year, I will use my strongest spell to restore him to his original state." Tijana looked directly at Brutal, promised him calmly, then turned to look at Lance Luo, "As long as you find Barend's soul, you're halfway to success, and if you remove any restrictions that prevent him from being resurrected, the mission will be completely completed. Don't take a dead person's soul out of the Obscure Realm by yourself, then It is taboo to offend the Lord of the Dead, unless you are sure you will never be judged by him."

"Judgment?" Lancelot became interested in this word, "Is it the ultimate trial that is said to be received after death?"

"...Pastor, you explain."

"The ultimate judgment may be a bit exaggerated, because some souls will experience this kind of judgment many times... in different identities." Alamir spread his hands towards the crowd, "After the soul arrives in the twilight realm, the first thing is to wait, to wait for what you have The messenger sent by the god of belief. If the messenger thinks that the belief of a certain soul is not pious enough, it will be judged by the king of the dead instead. Depending on the behavior of the soul in the mortal world, the result of the judgment may be Erase all memories and reincarnate; if the crime is serious, you may be sentenced to hell and handed over to the devil for punishment; some guys who are too crazy to accept even the devil will be thrown into the abyss as garbage; and some... Extremely rare, very rare unbelievers, you know, turn into some kind of building material..."

"Balababa, whatever you want." Bruto waved his arms impatiently, "No matter what reason my father can't be resurrected, he is probably suffering. Lady Tijana, my dear sister-in-law, what do you want? When can we leave?"

"I understand your feelings, dwarf, please believe me." The succubus lord said with rare sincerity, "But you have just experienced an epic battle, your body has not recovered, and your equipment is also damaged. Repairs are urgently needed, and I need to spend time finding a working portal and preparing magic items that may be used. All of this will take time, I suggest you go out now, give the equipment that needs repairing to Adric, and then Go to Hagrid Manor without looking back, fill your stomach with anything you like, and then lie down on the bed and sleep. Remember to drink a bottle of healing potion first, and you can also take a hot bath if you think it is necessary. And once I have definite news, I will contact you as soon as possible.”

Brutal looked at Tijana with an angry look, but the succubus lord stared back unquestionably.The dwarf stomped his feet heavily and walked out without saying a word. After Alamer winked at Lancelot, he followed the dwarf calmly, leaving only the human knight and the human knight in the room. The succubus lords are in the same room.

Of course, there's also Barend, but the old dwarf is just a corpse now, and the spirit doesn't hang around, so it doesn't count.

"Please don't mind, my lady." Lancelot said softly, "Bluto must be in a bad mood right now."

"Of course I don't mind." Tijana shook her head, "Although I have already guessed the answer, I still have to ask, you will go with him, right?"

"If possible, I certainly hope to stay with you more." Lancelot turned his face and looked at his lover seriously, "But Brutal is a very important friend of mine. What happened like this Of course, I can't sit idly by and let him set foot on the kingdom of the dead alone."

"I understand." Tijana lowered her eyes, "Actually, you are fulfilling the responsibility that should be borne by me, because the ultimate responsibility for this matter lies with me. But I can't leave, otherwise it is very likely that something else will happen. So many tragedies like this..."

"You don't have to say that, my lady." Lancelot paused, "but I'm glad you think so."

"I'm serious." Tijana shook her head, then turned to look at the old dwarf who was quietly lying aside, "If...if the same thing happens to me..."

"You know the answer, my lady." Lancelot replied softly, "I will accompany you anywhere in the multiverse."
