Chapter 574 Painted Demon
To put it simply, the structure of the multiverse world is like countless large and small spheres floating in a large water tank.
These spheres are planes, and the water in the large water tank is endless void.
Of course, this is just a way to understand it. In fact, the relationship between planes and the world is very complicated, and no one can fully understand it yet.
What is currently certain is that these countless planes can be roughly divided into three categories.
The demiplane, the mortal plane, and the Outlands.
Demiplane has said before that the mortal plane sounds as simple as a plane inhabited by a large number of mortals, but in fact, the characteristic of the mortal plane is that it is impure.
Saints can be born among mortals who make angels awe, and criminals can be born who make evil spirits feel ashamed.
This impurity is exactly the characteristic of mortals.
Since there is impurity, there is also purity.
These too pure planes are called outer realms, which also include the realms of the gods.
For example, the Heavenly Mountain where the angels live, the Sky Sanctuary, which is the upper plane, and the Fairy Wilderness where the fairies live as mentioned before.
The lower planes are mainly the endless abyss where demons live, and the Nine Nether Hells where demons live.
This upper and lower is not a simple positional relationship, but a contemptuous term for evil spirits.
It sounds unfair, but in fact, in the eyes of most people, the term "lower plane" is not offensive enough.
The demon's level of dogecoin can make even the dark elves call him "big brother".
They are born with pure evil, completely different from the gray world where good and evil coexist.
This is why tieflings are so discriminated against in mortal society, after all, they have the blood of evil spirits.
The devil and the devil are not the same creature. Although they are both doge coins, the direction of the doge coins is different, and both parties regard each other as enemies.
The devil is like a capitalist who knocks your bones and sucks your marrow. It seems that he will sign a contract with you and do something for you, but in fact the contract is full of pitfalls.
Their methods of deceiving people are mainly limited to what is allowed by the rules, leaving you unable to express your suffering.
Demons are much simpler, they all have to die!
Whenever traces of evil spirits are discovered in the mortal world, it is a big deal, because these idiots will definitely not do anything good when they come to the mortal world.
But the good news is that it is very difficult for pure creatures like demons to enter the mortal world, unless some people with cerebral palsy take the initiative to open the portal to let them in.
Among such people, Masters are the majority.
Dwarves will never cooperate with evil spirits. Among other things, Moradin was the first to disagree. Therefore, the corpses of these two ice demons appearing here were definitely not summoned by the dwarves.
Aldai guessed that after the dwarves left here, the devils might have been summoned by the mages who came here to explore, and used them as guards or servants.
Although it cannot be said on the table, in fact there are many mages who cooperate with evil spirits. Not to mention summoning evil spirits as thugs, the evil spirits themselves are also excellent raw materials for making magic items or potions.
Although the evil spirits are pure evil, they are not idiots. They can obtain more benefits through these masters, and there is no need for them to refuse. Anyway, even if they cooperate, they are actually paying for other evil spirits, not signing a contract. of evil spirits.
That’s right, the devil’s merchandise is the devil.
If we continue to talk about this topic in depth, we will have enough to say. Let’s get back to the topic.
Aldai confirmed that the two ice demons were dead and would not jump up suddenly. Then she began to check their carapace and confirmed that they had probably been dead for hundreds of years.
"Hundreds of years? Mage? Speaking of this time period..."
"Yueluo's lover, Bulat."
Sure enough, it was connected.
According to Yueluo, Bratt turned her into an oak tree, and Bratt himself was poisoned by Yueluo, and he was very sure that he must have died.
But what worries Aldai is that the death of the summoner will not cause the summoned creature to die, but will only send the summoned creature back. And these two ice demons obviously died here, and there were no obvious external injuries on their carapace...
The cause of death is very concerning, because Aldai and the others are likely to face this kind of thing soon.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The ice demon's body did not provide any more clues. Aldai checked it carefully and found basically no useful clues except time.
So the three of them had no choice but to bypass the fountain and continue walking forward. No matter what's ahead, if you want to go to the sixth floor, you have to take this path.
And there is not enough time. Don't forget, the drow, wild bear mercenaries, and the unknown Glow Ion Yin Order are all above and may catch up at any time.
Continue walking forward and reach the end of the passage. At this time, you can see a doorway on the left and right sides. However, the doorway on the left is blocked by falling rocks, which means you can only go to the right.
But on the wall facing the passage, there is something that people can't help but look at.
A painting, a huge painting, probably about ten meters long on a side.
The main colors of this painting are black and red. At first glance, it looks like a large bloody hill or ocean, which is indescribably weird.
The weirdest thing is that this thing has been here for who knows how long, and there is no trace of decay. Except for a layer of dust on it, time seems to have been ignored by it.
Nemea looked at the painting, or to be precise, at the gems inlaid on the frame.
The outside of the picture frame was covered with a layer of gold, and the large and small colorful gems shone with an intoxicating pearlescent light under the dim light of the dancing light technique, as if telling Nemea.
Come here and pick two, no one will notice.
Nemea had a typical poor background. He had no parents to care about him since he was a child, and he often wandered around different cities with a group of orphans in search of a living.
People from famous families like Aldé and Zola don't particularly care about gold coins and gems. They have seen too many of these things and they are not attractive anymore.
But for Nemea, it was not the least bit attractive.
When Nemea passed the picture frame, he couldn't help but reach out and want to pry off one or two gems and take them away.
But the moment she turned to look at the frame, she suddenly felt confused. In her haziness, she seemed to see a figure appearing in the sea of red and black blood on the canvas.
She called Aldai, but she stared at the canvas, trying to see clearly what the figure was.
It sounds strange. The figures on the canvas seem to be moving. Neemia thought it was a magic painting. Moving paintings are actually not uncommon in the magical world.
The figure was walking step by step towards Neemia outside the frame, getting closer and closer. Only when he was about to step in front of him did Neemia finally see clearly.
The person in the painting is herself.
He had a pale face, no blood in his body, his eyes were just two black holes, and his chin seemed to be dislocated.
Neemia was startled and was about to retreat when her head was tightly grasped by a pair of hands. Frightened, she looked at the painting again. In the painting, she opened her hands, just like she was grabbing Nimea. Mia is trying to pull into the painting.
"Back off!"
At the critical moment, a ray of light pierced the darkness and terror. Aldai raised the staff, and strong light burst out from the orb on the head of the staff.
Zola grabbed Nemea and pulled her away from the painting.
Nemea suddenly seemed to have lost the strength to stand, and sat down on the ground, more like a person who had almost drowned, gasping for air.
"What happened just now?"
"You were bewitched by the painting demon."
"Painting demon?"
At this time, Nemea heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from the painting, but it gave people a chilling feeling.
