Dragon Clan starts from digging the corner of Kassel

Chapter 263 The Purgatory of the Golden Country, the Wailing of the Infernal Purgatory

The Eternal Country of Gold.

Listening to the name, it looks like a place full of treasures and a magical fountain of youth.

But ever since they set foot on this land, all the "guests" can feel is infinite suffocation.

And... "Despair".

This is a world full of despair from beginning to end.

As the lord of the world, the Dragon King binds and exploits all the lives living here with rules, regards their dignity, life, and existence as purely abstract "values", and mercilessly takes away all of them...

It can be said that life in this world has gained equal despair from the moment of birth.

Creatures that are slaves are the first to die.

Lost life, lost spirituality, lost soul... However, the body with nothing is still in the distorted rules, being reawakened as a part of the golden land, becoming the cornerstone of this living hell, being used as consumables by waste utilization...

Next to die were dragons who were subjects of the Lord of Bronze and Fire.

The "lifespan" of ordinary dragons is related to the strength of their bloodlines. The higher the purity of the bloodlines, the longer the dragons can maintain their spiritual existence.

A dragon's youth can last at least a thousand years, but they will still usher in spiritual decay under the shackles of their own blood...

The cocooning of the soul can only guarantee the soundness of the body, and the dragons who have lost their "spirit" are just ignorant beasts, which is "death" for the dragons.

True death—the withering of the "heart".

The rules of the Golden Country will even speed up this decaying process.

Because cocooning is a behavior that cannot provide "value", but will continue to consume "value".

Norton, who is the absolute ruler of Svartalfheim, does not allow the dragons of the Golden Land to cocoon in his territory.

With the aging of the body, the deterioration of the spirit will also accelerate, and the living and the newly born will all turn into wild beasts without exception... This is why there is no living dragon in the Golden Village.

During the long period of 3000 years that Svartarfheim was closed, no dragon could stand against the rules of this golden land.

These dragons, who could no longer pay the "value", degenerated into simple monsters with huge bodies, and were swallowed into the earth by this living abyss, turning into the cornerstone of flesh and blood.

Under the scorching sun of the Bronze City, there is a "world-class alchemy array" built with their blood and meridians.

In the years when the king was lost, the city was driven by burning everything of its former subjects. The temple remained the same, but the creatures crawling on the ground could no longer be seen.

The only exceptions are Norton's kin... the gnomes.

After the dwarves were born from Norton, they became the most diligent producers under the King of Bronze and Fire.

It is they that have resonated and merged with each other in the field of countless alchemy products that have been enshrined for 96 years, and finally formed the core of Svartarfheim——

This is the abyss of despair called [Golden Country].

As a result, the dwarves have received preferential treatment from the Golden Country. As long as they are still casting new cornerstones for the Golden Country, they can get the gift of exemption from "taxes"...

"So they can be regarded as the only race in this abyss that is lucky enough to preserve their intelligence."

Bu Shun lowered his head, stroked a lonely dwarf head with wide-eyed eyes on the ground, and said calmly: "Even now that the king is gone, they are still faithfully carrying out the orders left by Norton...very good subordinates ,What do you think?"

He was answered by vomiting.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Old Tang and Jiu De Yaji spit out sour water one after another with distorted expressions, wishing to spit out all the food they had eaten in the past two days.

Caesar and Ye Sheng's faces were pale, and even Chu Zihang, who had always been paralyzed, was extremely livid at this moment.

His eyes were red, Lu Mingfei clenched his fists tightly, and roared angrily:
"What the hell is this!!"

His angry roar echoed in the space they were in at the moment, and it seemed insignificant.

In the huge underground space like the hollow earth in the anecdote, on a bronze base plate with an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers, mercury and blood flowed like rivers.

The depth of each gully is more than 500 meters, and it can only be described as a rift valley. The highly poisonous steam flows on the bronze earth, swallowing the metal-like storm.

The wind of metal, the ground of bronze, the water of blood and silver, and the hidden fire all outline an incomparably magnificent and strange super-giant alchemy formula.

This is a spectacle beyond human imagination. The area of ​​the base alone is already the size of more than 9600000000 football fields. Even if [-] humans are stuffed into it, it cannot completely fill its space...

However, in the central area of ​​this alchemy array, there are "mere" 88 human beings.

— pain, twisting, wriggling.

Nearly a million human beings whose bodies are half-melted but still alive are constantly howling in this real hell.

"These...could it be...the people who disappeared...?"

Chen Motong's face was as pale as paper, and his already battered heart, like a piece of glass hit hard by a hammer, was instantly shattered by Ah Bi's call.

She panted heavily, her body was on the verge of falling, she had to lean on Caesar's body because of the weakness of her legs and feet, her pupils were trembling constantly.

The hands and feet of those people melted into something like fleshy paste, and their bodies merged with the bronze earth, but they didn't lose their lives for some reason.

So every minute and every second is suffering beyond imagination.

The highly toxic metal vapor tormented every nerve of them, followed by pain like gnawing brain tissue, strangling rationality and giving birth to madness.

Anger, pain, hatred, despair... the most extreme emotions of human beings are condensed in these purgatory wailings, and no human being can remain indifferent when seeing this scene.

"Yes."

Reaching out to release the dark blue light, maintaining the passage leading to this place behind her, the beauty with blue hair and red eyes said softly: "This is the 'raw material processing room' for extracting fresh living beings and preparing fuel for alchemy rituals. "

"The tens of 10 people who disappeared from your world... are the "materials" that Norton prepared for himself."

Through the passage opened by Bu Shun, the "expedition team" entered the empty Bronze City.

Helena Meta, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately opened the door to the underground world hidden in the bronze city for Bu Shun and others.

Together, everyone has witnessed the most terrifying "reality" in this golden city.

"What an abominable method..."

Even as a Meta ship that has witnessed the "world destruction" many times, Helena is still shocked by the cruelty of the Dragon King.

This kind of cruelty does not lie in how many people Norton has killed and is about to kill now, but that what she has seen is actually a kind of deliberate torture.

In demonology, when the host of the ceremony prepares the sacrifice, he often uses some means to torture the sacrifice.Because they believe that a soul full of despair and pain would be a more pleasing sacrifice to demons—even if there are no real demons in this world.

Everything that is happening right now can be said to be approximate.

Torture is to release stronger emotions, and pain is to extract more active spiritual elements.

The "Sage's Stone" in the legend of the mixed race is a high-purity aggregation of the fifth element "spirit".And human beings are precisely a race with sufficient spirituality and are easy to reproduce...

Therefore, human beings are also regarded as a conventional raw material for mass production of Philosopher's Stone.

In the era when dragons ruled the world, human slaves were often used as "additives" to produce better alchemy results.As the kingdom of the king of alchemy, such methods are common in Svartarfheim.

This is what shocked Helena.

Because to the dragons—

The scene happening right now, apart from the difference in the amount used... is actually a fairly "ordinary" thing.

"It is also for the activation of this unusual alchemy formation that Norton's family members volunteered their lives here."

After Bu Shun finished talking about the secrets of the dragon clan that had been buried in history, he looked away and looked at the bronze platform where they were at the moment.

There are more than three hundred dwarf corpses densely displayed on this high platform. Even though they have been dead for several days, they still maintain a prayer-like posture without exception.

There is a sense of solemnity that is almost creepy, existing on these large and small dwarf corpses... It seems that they are rushing to death without hesitation in order to achieve a sacred goal.

The last remaining life in the Golden Country ended here.

So... loyal.

Lu Mingfei also looked at these dead creatures, and couldn't help shouting: "It doesn't matter if you all die? What are they going to do? What is Norton trying to do!!"

Bu Shun turned around, his eyes swept over the people brought by him one by one, taking all their different expressions into his eyes.

To Lu Mingfei's question, he showed a smile of unknown meaning:
"Of course...to forge a terrifying weapon."

"It's called [Seven Deadly Sins]."

　PS: Shocked, I suddenly found out that since Torture Cross, I have always wrongly written Norton's territory as [Jortunheim], but it is actually [Svartalfheim]!please forgive me!

　　PS2: Jotunheim is the territory of Fenrir. I should have changed it now. It is really my problem to make such a big mistake!
