Players' NPC boss

"Where are the other strangers?"

"I sent him away." The ferryman waved to Blaize and Greenland, gesturing for them to follow.

"This place is extremely unstable and cannot withstand their efforts."

Blaze looked around. It was the space they left before, but there was a very conspicuous huge crack on the ground. If you close your eyes and use the [blind eye] vision to observe, you can feel the thunderous light intertwined deep in the cracks.

These rays of light are like needles and threads suturing a scar on the earth. The scar is trying to open, and the sutures are tightening. Typhon did not completely solve the problem of the Earthshaking, but merely forced a temporary halt to it.

"Turn upside down is the basic rule of this world. Separation, reorganization, destruction and rebirth again and again." The ferryman told the oldest story in the world in an old voice. Living beings cannot change the rules of this world."

"Even the great gods cannot prevent the earth from turning upside down, but they can prevent the disaster caused by the earth's upending. But they are driven by [human nature] and arrogantly leave their names on the earth. As a result..."

The ferryman laughed silently.

Blaze knew what the ferryman meant. He saw the ferryman losing his strength due to the division of the Styx. This is just like the [World Tree] in the past, which had power due to the shape and name on the earth, but the earth turned them upside down and cut them, they lost their shape and name, and their power also disappeared.

This power was not taken away, but simply no longer established, and the causal relationship was severed.

The great gods in the past had the ability to save many living beings in the upheaval, but the gods lost most of their power at the moment the upheaval happened, leaving only the power to escape or witness.

"So what's the solution? Looking for the [underground world]?"

"The underground world is nothing more than a refuge. What you have to do is to turn [Tearshake] into a landscape, a puzzle, not a disaster."

The ferryman stopped at the edge of the Styx River. The ferry boat had been destroyed in the earth-shaking sign, but he just punched the ground with the oar in his hand, and the Styx River set off a ripple, and the river slowly parted.

"One of the little tricks you get after everything is turned upside down."

The ferryman led Blaze and Greenland into the passage in the middle of the Styx. In the slowly undulating section of the Styx, countless ghosts of the dead were struggling in it, slapping the river surface in an attempt to break out of the wall.

After crossing the Styx River and arriving on the other side, the feeling of vibration became more obvious after arriving here, and the entire field of vision was shaky.

Blaze could feel El Dorado calling to him from deep, but he couldn't go yet.

"What do you want to tell us?" Blaze pulled back his gaze with difficulty and looked at the ferryman. "If possible, please tell us in concise words. Don't deliberately tell riddles in order to heighten your sense of mystery."

"...Actually, I shouldn't tell you so simply and straightforwardly, but the matter seems to be really urgent. If the earth-shaking problem is not solved quickly, that guy will continue to be tortured down there. I also looked at him, old man. Tens of thousands of years, with a mother like Gaia who is not very smart..."

The ferryman stopped telling riddles, but Barabala kept talking, faster than the stranger's artillery attack. The key was that he didn't get to the point even after talking for a long time.

Greenland was already rolling his eyes at the side, looking like he was in a daze. Blaze listened to the ferryman's long nonsense, and the summary was that Typhon, like the people of the treasure mine, would not leave the depths of the underground until they were sure that the earth would be turned upside down without causing the extinction of life.

"...Although the underground world can only be used as a refuge, it contains a harmless and earth-shaking secret. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what this secret is. You know the specific reason."

The ferryman specially winked at Blaze, and Blaze immediately figured it out. To put it simply, it is similar to the irreconcilable help of an old lion. When you look for questions with answers, do you want to get answers or get questions?

"Then if I walk from here, can I reach the underground world?" Blaze still couldn't help but pointed to the depths of the death world. He was not in a hurry, but the Black Beast Knight was having an impulse.

The ferryman suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Boy, why do you think this place is underground?"

Blaze was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to say that they came along the steps. But thinking about it carefully, they didn't walk for long, but they came to an environment that looked like deep underground.

The steps and the darkness seemed to be some kind of spatial distortion.

"The world of death, the nameless royal tomb...the reverse world on the bottom." Blaze patted his head. The elf once said that the Golden Kingdom fell into the depths of the underground, but there is nowhere better than the entire world. The bottom is even deeper.

That’s why we talk about these ancient races! When you reach the bottom of the world, it’s the bottom. Why would it be misunderstood by ordinary people to say that you have fallen into the depths of the earth?

But in this case, he really can't go to the Golden Kingdom now, otherwise he will fall out like he did at the Unknown Royal Tomb.

"Then I can go in from that place, okay?" Blaze pointed to the exit.

"That place is the exit of the underworld, and the place it leads to is naturally where you came from."

Simply put, no.

The only thing left for Blaze was to find a passage that could lead directly to the underground. And it couldn't be a passage like the Gate of the Underworld that went straight from the top to the bottom, it had to be a passage that went right to the underground world.

"Actually... the stranger had already found it, no, it should be said that it was a way to open the underground world by chance, but he didn't know it." The ferryman showed a well-honed and meaningful smile.

Just as Blaze was waiting for the ferryman's next words, the ferryman stretched out his hand to him and rubbed his index finger and thumb.

"This, does this mean that you want me to pay?!"

"Of course, do you know how many free river crossing membership cards I gave away today? I have no way to make a living other than being an intelligence dealer. Even if I'm a god, I have to live."

The ferryman said it as a matter of course, Blaze could only take out three copper coins with a twitch in his eyes, but the ferryman shook his head, it was not enough. Blaze looked at Greenland who was still rolling his eyes, and knew that he could only move forward alone.

Next, Blaze took out all his valuables. First, all the gold coins were gone, and the krypton gold props were gone. He also took out all the [Unborn Spirits]. Of course, these were not enough. The remaining insufficient part, let Blaze make these [Unborn Spirits] into at least legendary equipment for the ferryman.

The ferryman said that the stranger was too useful and he needed something to reward the stranger.

"The old man will not take advantage of you, a junior, so I will give you a small gift." The ferryman touched his body and finally took out a small glowing bottle.

"This is a rare thing, made by humans in the God Age, a divine object that can contain and operate the sky lightning!"

Blaze was about to vomit blood, because he knew what this thing was, and there were a lot of them in Chiron's laboratory.

Isn't it just a light bulb?

You are kidding!

Blaze took a few deep breaths and took the small light bulb with the idea of ​​getting something. This little light bulb flickered, and the current was running around inside it. It was a low-quality light bulb!

"Go ahead and tell me!"

"You are an ignorant and impatient kid." The ferryman shrugged and his expression became serious.

"The sun god who hid underground."
