Quenched long order

Chapter 89 The Survival After the Catastrophe (First Order!)
Sauer informed the two of Mrs. Gold's fate.

After listening, both Garland and the mystic were relieved. Although they were not out of danger yet, the curse of the gold mine had obviously disappeared.

The only problem is that the power that makes the curse of the gold mine disappear is itself a more dangerous force.

"What should we do next?" The mystic looked at the two and sat down to rest.

"Now there are two roads before us." Saul said, he raised his right hand and stretched out a finger, "One is to find a place where there is no black mist to rest." He stretched out the second finger, "Instead, we go to borrow the door of life and find a way to close the door of the source of blessing."

"Take a break?" Garland fell into deep thought. He had just finished speaking when he coughed twice, and then spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

"By the way, the spirit stone scholar is still below, let's go and have a look first." The mystic avoided this topic.

Saul nodded slightly.

The three went down together, and soon came to the door of borrowing life.

The mystic lightly touched the spirit stone in the center of the alchemy formation, and immediately the alchemy formation began to operate, and the image of the spirit stone scholar also appeared in the center of the alchemy formation.

After listening silently, the three of them knew the whereabouts of the spirit stone scholar.

"Another soul?" Garland looked at Saul in surprise, and hope was rekindled in his eyes for some reason.

The mystic was also very surprised. Although she had already guessed, but with the confirmation of the spirit stone scholar, she really thought about what it meant.

The Shaoer in front of him has an extraordinary talent on the road of tempering the senior ranks.

In just a dozen days, it has reached the height of other quenchers for nearly three years. Although it is also related to the environment, it does not have enough potential, and it is impossible to grow so fast.

"I don't know, maybe the psychic stone scholar made a mistake." Saul shook his head, "Let's think about what to do next."

He didn't want to deceive the two people in front of him, but he also didn't want to expose his true identity. After all, even if he told the two people in front of him, it wouldn't help the current difficult situation, and it might cause unnecessary suspicion.

"Wait." The mystic suddenly said in surprise, her voice echoed in the cave, "Look, the black mist has faded."

Saul held his breath and looked around, "No..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that the black mist around him had indeed faded a lot. It seemed that the black mist no longer gushed out from the door of Borrowing Life.

"Could it be a spirit stone scholar?" Garland looked at the alchemy circle on the ground, "He closed the door to the source of blessing?"

The surprise came too suddenly.

The three of them smiled subconsciously, which was the smile of the rest of their lives after a catastrophe.

"I have a guess." Saul looked at the circling road nearby. "Let's rest for a while. If the black fog is still fading, it may mean that there is an exit to leave the mine."

"By the way, you can make tools." The mystic also thought of this, and her eyes lit up. "There are still many corpses of monsters in the mine, which might last us a few days."

As the black mist faded, the tense atmosphere eased a lot.

The three of them sat on the ground without saying anything or thinking about anything, allowing their bodies to relax completely. If it wasn't for the fact that the current environment was not suitable for falling asleep, the three of them might have fallen asleep directly.

Ten minutes passed.

Garland coughed heavily again. He held his chest while coughing. When the coughing stopped, before the other two could speak, he took the initiative to speak:
"When I was controlled by the curse of the gold mine, I seemed to see something."

he said softly.

"The root of the curse of the gold mine is not only the mysterious power in the mine, but also the various desires of the miners over the years, the pursuit of money, the pursuit of women, and the pursuit of a luxurious life. These jointly created the so-called Golden Lady."

"Actually, at the very beginning, the curse of the gold mine could only confuse the minds of some miners and lure the miners to die in the mine. As time went on and accumulated over time, the curse of the gold mine began to take shape. It was not until a weak blessing came from here that it changed her little by little and accelerated her growth. Finally, it became what we see now."

"No wonder it's a little girl..." Saul suddenly understood why the curse of the gold mine was the image of a little girl. After all, there is no little girl on Stewart Island. "Women and children simultaneously satisfy the desires of the miners on the island for their wives and daughters, and gold can satisfy the rest of their desires."

After hearing this, the mystic was thoughtful, and she said softly:
"The curse of the gold mine will continue to grow. At first, it only strengthens itself by killing people. Later, it can even directly control the polluted people. If it continues to develop, I am afraid that it will leave Stewart Island with the help of a cargo ship and go to Westwood Port. According to the commonly used classification methods for disasters, the curse of the gold mine should be classified as 'flooding', which means it will continue to grow and spread."

"What about other categories?" Saul had a little curiosity in his eyes.

The mystic turned his head, "There are also 'safety doors' and 'flying birds'. The disasters of the safety doors are usually fixed in a certain range and will not spread. If the curse of the gold mine is always maintained in the mine, then it is also a safety door. The reason why it is called a safety door is because there is a safe way for this type of disaster. , and often disappear without knowing why, or hide, so generally they don’t go out of their way to solve it.”

She paused and continued:
"Actually, in recent years, disasters in various places have become more frequent and more complex, so this kind of classification method has also been abandoned by the academic community. Now more events are classified by event names and numbers, which is more formal and accurate."

Hearing this, Garland was very confused, "Then... what about curses and blessings?"

"Curse and blessing should describe the nature of disasters, right?" Saul replied, "Whether it is flooding, safety doors, or flying birds, this classification is to describe the impact of disasters, just like different people evaluate the same chair with different standards. Some people care more about the beauty and ugliness of the chair, while others care more about whether the chair is practical, and some people care about whether the wood of the chair is worthy of their identity."

After hearing this, the mystic raised his hand and applauded, "Yes, people in different regions have different views on disasters. Some are regarded as patron saints, but people in other regions regard them as disasters. Since it is a safety door, as long as you follow the rules, you can completely minimize casualties and protect locals from being bullied by outsiders."

Having said that, she opened her hands and asked Saul, "How is it? The outside world is amazing, right?"

Saul felt that the mystic meant something, and replied, "It would be even better if people from the outside world could come to save us now."
