Entering the inner city of the City Lord's Mansion, Carl slowed down his pace:

"My bird puppet lost its sense of touch here. There should be a very fast legendary creature hiding nearby."

“Hmm…”

"strangeness!"

"The architectural style of the inner city of the City Lord's Mansion is completely different from that of the outside, and the roads are a bit too complicated, aren't they?"

He muttered softly, shook his head and put away the map in his hand.

Whether it was Mellen's investigation or his own exploration, they only found the terrain of the outer city of the City Lord's Mansion.

Inner City,

Only the outer areas have been explored.

However, judging from the existing building layout, the real good things should be in the core area of ​​the inner city.

“Pah…”

The sticky liquid on the ground made Carl shake his head slightly, and then his body slowly left the ground and floated forward.

Thunder Wings!

Thunder Wings is an evolved version of the Flying Technique.

This means that if one masters the Wings of Thunder, one will also naturally master ordinary flying techniques.

Not long after flying forward, several corpses appeared on the ground, some human and some legendary creatures.

Most of them are human corpses.

The corpse had already been searched clean.

Hmm? Carl's eyes flickered.

"This is the advantage of coming late. All the dangers have been cleared in advance, so there will be less trouble on the road."

As his thoughts turned, his speed increased immediately, and he flew forward along the passage like a flash of lightning.

The roads in the inner city are winding, but no matter which road you choose, you will arrive at the same square.

“Really lively?”

Looking at the crowds in the square, Karl couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why are they all crowded here?"

When they saw him come in, the crowd immediately started whispering.

“Karl!”

"The mysterious pharmacist in Rapid City?"

"It's him!"

“It’s Uncle Karl.” Matthew, who was hiding in a corner, also saw Karl, and his eyes lit up: “He’s here too.”

"You have to be careful." The shell on his waist swayed gently, and a subtle sound reached his eardrums:

“This guy is amazing.”

"I know." Matthew nodded. "He is a legendary knight."

Shell was speechless.

There are many legendary knights here, but the number of them who can be truly regarded as "powerful" is no more than five.

But it didn't say much.

There are so many people here and it's hard to guarantee that no one will notice its existence. It can't leave Matthew now.

"Mr. Karl."

Orianna from the City of Death bowed from a distance and said, "We meet again."

"Miss Anna." Karl nodded: "Hello, what's the situation now?"

Although they all came here for the things from the City Lord's Mansion, they still need to maintain basic decency before finding the things.

“You saw it, too.”

Orianna pointed and said, "The road we came from has disappeared. There are only these twelve pillars and twelve doors that lead to unknown places."

"Someone chose one of the doors and went in, and never came back."

Carl looked back.

really!

The passage we came from disappeared at some point, and the area around the square was empty.

Startled, he hastily sensed the fragments of the divine domain, and was relieved when he found that he could leave at any time.

"Miss Anna."

At this time, a short and fat old man came over, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Compared with the others, the old man had a more scholarly temperament.

Coming closer, he whispered, "We've investigated it, it should be the Twelve Zodiac Signs!"

"The Twelve Constellations?"

Orianna's face darkened.

…………

Under the twelve giant pillars, Orianna from the City of Death groped for a long time and finally sighed helplessly.

"A strange object - the Twelve Constellations!"

She murmured with a complicated look in her eyes:

“No wonder even though the City Lord’s Mansion has been besieged by the evil gods for so many years, City Lord Sodan still has a chance to survive. It turns out that this thing is protecting him.”

"Miss Anna." A knight in a blood-red cloak lowered his head and asked in a muffled voice:

"Can we go in?"

No one else spoke, they all pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

After all, so far, only the people in the City of Death have some understanding of the strange situation on the scene.

"Okay." Orianna nodded. "The Twelve Constellations are a rare artifact that has been circulated in the Divine Realm. It is said that they can trap gods. However, the one here is definitely not the legendary artifact. It should be just a replica."

"Unlike the complete version, the twelve doors in front of us, six of which lead to hell, and the other six lead to the divine realm. Hell represents death, and the divine realm represents life."

"That is to say..."

"You can go in, but there's a 50-50 chance of life or death."

Everyone's face changed drastically and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Half chance?"

The Blood Knight frowned:

"Is it possible to tell which doors are dead ends and which are life paths before entering?"

"Unnie." Orianna waved her hand: "You answer."

"yes."

The short and fat old man with a scholarly temperament responded, stepped forward and said:

“It’s possible in theory, but not in practice.”

"Let's not talk about the knowledge we don't know to crack the Twelve Constellations. According to speculation, even if we know the method, it would take the strength of the City Lord to do it, so... we can only take our chances."

"Take a chance?" The Blood Knight's face was gloomy:

"Half chance of survival?"

"Ahem!" The short and fat old man coughed twice and said in a low voice: "We can have someone scout the way."

"The Twelve Constellations here are just a replica. They cannot completely block our perception. With your means, you should be able to sense whether the person who enters is dead or not."

"oh!"

The Blood Knight raised his eyebrows, quickly scanning the people in the field, and the gloomy expression on his face also relaxed.

"Then let them in first."

"Why?" someone in the field yelled, "I don't want to go in at all, I just want to go back..."

"puff!"

Before he could finish his words, his two eyes suddenly exploded and two streams of blood spurted out from his eye sockets.

The body staggered and fell to the ground.

“Swish!”

Those who were close to the Blood Knight retreated one after another, looking at the corpse on the ground with horror on their faces.

Control blood!

This is the special ability of the first legendary knight of the City of Death.

But it was indeed too horrifying that a great knight could not control the blood in his body and died on the spot at such a distance.

"Go back?" The Blood Knight's voice was not loud, but it was sharp, cold, and contained a sense of domineering intimidation: "Do you think you have a choice?"

The others turned pale, and looked with some fear at the Blood Knight whose bloodshot eyes were scanning the entire scene.

Silent as a cicada.

"Don't be afraid."

A gloomy voice sounded among the crowd:

"What about the City of Death and the Blood Knights? There are only a few of them. There are so many of us. If we work together, we can still defeat them!"

"good!"

Human interface:

"If they don't die, we won't get any benefit even if we enter the core area of ​​the inner city."

The two people's voices echoed in the venue, coming from all directions, so elusive that it was difficult to tell their exact locations.

"Who?" The Blood Knight narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire audience: "Who said that?"

"Stand up if you have the guts!"

No one said anything, but a few people's eyes moved slightly, but they quickly suppressed the impulse in their hearts.

If we act together, we won't have to be afraid of the people from the City of Death, but who can be trusted among the people present?

"snort!"

The Blood Knight snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and the corpses on the ground immediately shot out streams of blood and fell in front of him.

The blood arrows gathered into a blood ball and exploded with a loud bang.

Countless streams of blood fell from the sky, avoiding several figures and falling on the heads of other people in the field.

The figures that were avoided were all legends without exception.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

The figures in the field flickered and dodged quickly. Although no one knew what the Blood Knight was going to do, no one wanted to be stained with blood.

However, the space in the field is limited, and no matter how you dodge, blood will always fall on your body.

When the blood fell to the ground, everyone stopped and glared at the Blood Knight.

"The one with three spots of blood on his body will go first, and the one with three spots of blood will follow, and so on. The one with fewer spots of blood will go later."

The Blood Knight spoke in a cold voice, pointing his hand at the crowd: "You! You, and the rest of you..."

"Pick a door and go in!"

The more blood stains on the body, the weaker the strength, and the more likely they are to become the first group of explorers.

“…”

The person who was hit showed fear in his eyes, but the others dispersed and made way for the person.

It's always good to have someone to blaze the trail.

As for resistance...

This group of people is the weakest, and they are not even great knights, so they have no intention of resisting.

If you choose a door and go in, you still have a 50% chance of survival, but if you choose to resist, you will die.

"Oh shit!"

One person's eyes flickered and he suddenly roared:

“Let’s fight!”

He stomped his feet and rushed towards a door. The moment his body touched the door, there was a flash of white light and he disappeared.

Hmm? A portal?

Carl's eyes moved slightly.

The white light did not obscure his vision, so he could see clearly.

When the man touched the door, the door suddenly turned into white mist, and then the other party disappeared in the mist.

Someone took the lead, and others followed in, inevitably hesitating and uncertain.

The Blood Knight kept his eyes closed and didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he was silently sensing something.

"The person with three drops of blood on his body, choose a door and go in!"

Matthew looked at the blood on his body, smiled bitterly, and walked out one step at a time under the gaze of everyone.

There were three drops of blood on him.

What to do? Try it!

He gritted his teeth, and as his mind moved, three golden poisonous snakes slowly crawled out from his sleeves.

The poisonous snake hissed and spit out its tongue.

At Matthew's urging, the three poisonous snakes each chose a door to crawl towards and disappeared one after another.

Three snakes, three doors, with a 50% chance, one of them is correct.

If they are all dead ends,

That's pretty bad luck.

When the other people with three drops of blood on their bodies saw his actions, they stopped and looked at him with hope on their faces.

If someone could find a safe way, then they wouldn't have to take half the chance.

The next moment.

Matthew's face turned pale.

No more!

The breath that was originally clearly sensed completely disappeared after the three poisonous snakes entered the gate.

"Pooh!"

One person looked disdainful: "What a waste of joy!"

As the other people with three drops of blood on their bodies, they were all waiting for Matthew to choose the correct door, and now they were undoubtedly disappointed.

Matthew opened his mouth with a bitter look on his face.

"snort!"

One person stepped over him, chose a door and went in. The others followed suit and each chose a door.

At the urging of others, Matthew moved forward tremblingly, and the shell hanging around his waist suddenly trembled.

'Choose the door on the left!'

Matthew's body stiffened, a hint of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it with all his might and moved step by step towards the door on the left.

Just like everyone else, I struggled for a long time and chose a path that I thought was 'safe'.

Hmm...

Carl, who was standing behind, had a puzzled look on his face, his eyes paused slightly at Matthew's waist, as if thinking about something.

'Why is this guy here?'

'The special blood in his body has actually been activated. His strength has increased so quickly in less than a year?'

"That shell..."

"There's something strange!"

The thought turned to him without him thinking too much. Everyone has their own secrets, including his.

However, there was a familiar aura in the field that attracted Carl's attention.

Yana!

The Blasphemous Knight who had been with him for a long time also appeared on the scene today, but no one knew what she was doing here.

I wonder if Black Sword Milia is here? The people from the City of Death spoke again: "Anyone with two drops of blood on their body can enter!"

"snort!"

Someone snorted coldly and walked out.

This time, there was no need for anyone to urge them. People with a drop of blood on their bodies or even no blood at all walked into the gate in an order.

Karl touched his chin and walked towards the door that Matthew had just entered.

“Wow…”

There was a blur in front of my eyes, and there was nothing in front of me. Six long stone steps each extended to a light gate.

"A strange object involving space!"

Karl's eyes lit up: "It seems that the most precious thing in the City Lord's Mansion is this Twelve Star Palace. I wonder if I can get it?"

The six stone steps were covered in blood, probably traces left by the mermaids who broke in.

Carl randomly chose one of the stone steps, stepped on it, and his figure gradually disappeared into the light gate.

* * * “Second Elder.”

Ghost Rider watched Carl walk into a stone door and asked in a low voice:

"Would you like to follow?"

“No need.” The white-robed elder from the Holy Hall shook his head slightly. “It’s not convenient to take action inside the Twelve Constellations Palace. Let’s talk about it after we get out. Let’s go through the second stone door on the right.”

"...Are you sure you're okay?" Ghost Rider hesitated. "If you make the wrong choice, you'll die."

"You can wait." The elder in white smiled faintly, "People from the City of Death will never go wrong."

Ghost Rider shrugged.

The people from the City of Death will definitely be the last to leave. Even if he is confident, he dare not provoke the Blood Knight.

…………

"Oh My God……"

Matthew appeared in front of a huge palace, which was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jade.

certainly,

There were even more corpses of all kinds! "Boy, don't be distracted, they are all useless and vulgar things, but there is a fire-breathing lizard hiding here, don't get entangled and run over quickly." The shell vibrated: "The Twelve Constellations, a very exquisite witchcraft creation, can actually connect different spaces together..."

"Go through the palace to the next scene, find the bloodline that suits you as soon as possible, and then leave quickly."

"It's too dangerous here for you!"

"Dangerous?" Matthew smiled bitterly: "You only realize this now?"

"roar!"

Before he could finish his words, the ground in front of him, which was piled with gold, silver and jewels, suddenly shook and bulged, and a huge dragon head appeared before his eyes.

Shell yelled:

"run!"

"I know!" Matthew said angrily:

"I'm running. Didn't you say that the bone stick in my hand can make legendary creatures afraid to attack me?"

"There are always exceptions." Shell said anxiously:

"Stop talking nonsense and run away!"
