Mystery: Paradox Path

Netipu town, the central tower.

The strange golem formed like rotting flesh and blood turned into blood on the ground with a foul smell of smoke with a strong sour smell, and all the nine people left in the room could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But they didn't really relax, after all, not long ago, they lost a companion to a monster that feigned death.

But soon, the door to the next floor suddenly opened, and the slightly harsh rubbing sound of bricks and stones seemed like a signal, causing everyone who heard it to slump to the ground.

"How long will the first law last?" Novart turned his head and glanced at his only remaining team members.

Cons took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, took a deep breath and said:

"About fifteen minutes. If we follow the previous rule of increasing intensity, this is enough for us to go up to two more floors. Should we continue?"

"Let's go." Ernes picked up a gem that looked like blood coagulated from the place where the flesh and blood golem collapsed, and then took out a few bottles of potions from his pocket and handed them to a few people, "We have used up most of our supplies, This island does not seem to be able to obtain materials and hold ceremonies. This time is probably our only chance. If we miss this time, we can only endure hard time in that town. I can survive seven or eight hundred through deep sleep. Year, let's see if there is the next batch of unlucky ones, how about you?"

"He's right. If you don't want to be trapped on this island for the rest of your life, just fight." Bruce took the potion and poured it into his mouth, feeling that his spirituality was filled again, and his tired spirit became clear again as if he had been stimulated.

"I also agree to fight." Deacon Fran, who looked increasingly disheveled, re-counted his remaining scrolls, and then used the collected spiritual materials to reconstruct his weapons.

The monsters in this tower are not fictitious things, but alchemy creatures that are actually composed of Beyonder characteristics and spiritual materials, and according to the types of characteristics they have gained along the way, they more or less understand those who violated the rules before. Where did the corpses and characteristics of the dead companions go?

"Then let's go, while the first law is still in effect." Novart also poured the potion and forcibly propped up his body with a short sword. The "first law" was an angel-level spell bestowed by the protector, His Royal Highness William. Being able to develop a realm of order that is isolated from the outside world is also the basis for this group of Beyonders of the Arbiter Path to dare to explore the Ghost Empire.

However, it turned out that they still underestimated this mission. There was no forced battle, and there was no rule-based confrontation. It was just the complicated and cumbersome continuous rules that prevented them from using this trump card casually.

"Russ, find the way."

Ernes did not hesitate, and immediately gave the order, Ruth did not hesitate, and immediately directed the mouse that was hiding in the corner during the battle to run towards the next floor.

After a while, Ruth's blood-colored eyes recovered, and he said loudly in a tone that was almost insane:

"Lord Ernes! Libra! I see Libra! Here we are!"

Listening to Ruth's incoherent yelling, everyone was stunned for a while before realizing what Ruth's so-called scales meant.

"You mean, the next floor is the top of the tower?" A strong sense of happiness suddenly appeared in everyone's heart, but then, Novart said coldly:

"Don't be too happy, we don't know how many floors this tower has. The spiral staircase and the different levels of the environment completely destroy our ability to estimate the height. Maybe what he sees is just illusion. And , the mayor never said that only the top of the tower has scales, right?"

It was poured down like cold water for a while, and the smiles that had already appeared began to slowly disappear, but they still took steps towards the dark door.

...

After a short but very torturous spiral staircase, everyone came to the room with the scale in the eyes of the mouse, but before they could patrol, a familiar voice entered their ears——

"Why did you come here?"

"Ms. Intergula?!" Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the girl who was sitting at a stone table, sipping the fragrant black tea, a strong sense of contrast struck their hearts.

"Illusions are forbidden here!"

Novart activated the ability immediately, but with the loss of spirituality, everything in front of him did not change at all.

Under the blessing of the first law, his law has an angel-level priority (not power), and he doesn't think that with the level of the previous monsters, such a level of illusion should not appear.

so……

This is real.

"Ms. Integura, why are you here?" Novart's mood was extremely complicated at this time. They lost two-thirds of their staff in order to come here, but the other party still looked unscathed. Her appearance, and even her two maids maintained a considerable elegance.

"Of course it's to leave! Well, the scale that represents the contract is there, but I think you can go to the window to see the island before you swear, maybe you will find something different!"

Integura's tone had a seductive sweetness, but everyone who had gone through a long battle no longer had the energy to appreciate the beauty in front of them. They rushed all the way to the windows on both sides and looked out. A strong sense of shock filled their hearts instantly.

"This...this is..." David's eyes widened, looking at the environment outside the window in disbelief, he turned around quickly, came to the opposite window, and then diagonally...

It's not just him, at least half of the people are doing the same thing at this time. They frantically look at each window, and then go to the next window, and their expressions become more and more weird.

"This island... this island is the ghost empire?!"

Finally, Ernes murmured such a conclusion. What they saw was very simple. Looking down from the tower, they found that the shape of the whole island is exactly a ship, and the woods are the side of the ship~www .readwn.com~The farmland is the deck, the town is the walking deck, and this tower is the mast and lookout.

"To be exact, it's the top layer of the Ghost Empire." Integura sighed faintly. She only discovered this when she analyzed the rules here through the personality of the Dark Emperor.

"That is to say, the treasures of the Ghost Empire, as well as the control core here, are all underground?" Within the scope of the first law, Novart was obviously a lot bolder. In this regard, Integra just shook his head and said. :

"I don't know, I don't even know how to go underground, but I know we need more cannon fodder to find the way."

Integura pointed to the stone tablet beside the scales and motioned them to take a look—

"Swear to Libra according to the content on the stone tablet, we can leave here for three months, but each person must bring back at least two people, in addition, once you swear here, your soul and body will be tied to the ghost empire. Sure, no matter where you die, your spiritual body and Beyonder characteristics will come back here, as for what it becomes, you should already know very well.”

"What about the way to leave forever? The mayor said that he knew when he came here..." Bruce couldn't help but ask, and Integra just shrugged, "Of course, he became the master of the Ghost Empire, but that's still the case. In other words, it takes a lot of cannon fodder."
