Chapter 36: Servant!

  (Christmas is coming, consider your votes as Christmas gifts for me~)

  The skin on this hand was old and dry, abnormally shriveled, just like a skull covered with a layer of skin, as dry as an old black tree trunk.

  The hand lifted up and lightly hooked towards Du Wei and others, indicating that they should come in, then the hand withdrew.

  Du Wei first calmed his mind, took two steps forward, and placed his hand on the fluctuating cave wall. He felt a soft and light sensation, as if he was pressing into water. With a thought, his hand sank into the cave wall!

  "It seems... I can get in." Du Wei's voice was a little hoarse.

  The two girls behind could no longer help but hold each other's hands and stand together tightly.

  "Shall we go in?" Joanna looked at Du Wei, she was a bit nervous: "What if the other party has ulterior motives?"

  This scene is really quite bizarre.

  "Staying here is also a dead end." Du Wei said lightly, then he beckoned to Vivian, and Vivian immediately walked to his side.

  "Do you believe me?"

  Vivian nodded vigorously. Duvela grasped Vivian's hand, then looked at her deeply before turning and walking into the wall first.

  Vivian took a deep breath and silently prayed: Omnipotent God, bless poor Vivian and Du Wei... Oh, and my sister too.

  As she saw both of them enter, Joanne gritted her teeth and followed suit.

  So Duvall led Vivian, and Vivian pulled Joanna...

  The scene was a bit strange, three big living people just walked into the cave wall. The cave wall also rippled with wave-like ripples when the three people walked in, and then slowly recovered its calmness, finally... turning back into a hard cave wall!

  For Du Wei and others, it was as if they were walking in a nightmare.

  It was pitch black here, no light could be seen, and no sound could be heard. He could only move forward relying on his senses, Du Wei didn't even dare to confirm if the direction he was walking in was correct...

  The other party is probably using some kind of magic... but what if we've walked halfway and the other party withdraws their magic, wouldn't we be buried under the stones?

  Just as Du Wei was thinking "How long will this darkness last?", suddenly it loosened up! It brightened up!

  This is another cave, many times larger than the previous one.

  In a huge cave, a person stood in the middle position.

  The man wore a pitch-black long gown, a high pointed hat, and looked extremely emaciated. What surprised Du Wei even more was that he found the man's feet were floating above the ground!

  "Hey, is it you who led us here?" Du Wei asked with a stiff face.

  That person quietly didn't speak, still raised his hand and hooked his finger at Du Wei and the others.

  In this huge cave, the light was dim and the air was chilly. The man floated on the ground with his feet, wearing a black robe... This scene was really scary, even Du Wei couldn't help but feel his throat dry.

  "You...are...afraid..."

  Still that old, weak voice that was almost out of breath: "Why?"

  Taking a deep breath, Du Wei gritted his teeth and said: "Who should be asking why? Why did you bring us here?"

  That person didn't react.

  Du Wei plucked up the courage to ask again, "Are you the master of this place? Our raft was overturned at sea... Was it done by you? Or is that monster your pet? Or are you the one yourself? And we fell into the sea and were swept away by a whirlpool into that cave, was that also done by you? Where are we... What kind of person are you? Why do you want to deal with us?"

  No answer.

  First came a burst of "heh heh heh" laughter. Heaven as witness, Du Wei had never heard such an unpleasant and frightening laugh in his entire life!

  "Fools..." The aged voice replied: "You should be thanking me for saving you... If it weren't for my spell, you would have been devoured by now..."

  This answer shocked Du Wei and others!

  "Are you saying...you saved us? What is 'it'?" Du Wei's heart was racing: "Who are you? Where are we?"

  Another burst of "heh heh heh" laughter.

  The man's body floated over and drifted a few steps in front of Du Wei and the others. Du Wei could finally see his face clearly!

  That was a face that was pale to the extreme! What made Du Wei and others feel terrified was... this face was white to the point of being almost transparent! To say it without exaggeration, the skin on his face was almost semi-transparent! It was even possible to see the skeleton underneath through the skin!

  Anyone who sees this face will probably have nightmares!

  Du Wei could still grit his teeth and bear it, but the two women behind him turned pale.

  Facing a face with dry, almost translucent skin like a skull, Du Wei felt that he could still maintain his tone, which was really an extraordinary thing. However, his attitude became slightly more respectful: "May I ask, who are you? And where are we?"

  "Can't you ask something more meaningful?" The tone was tinged with mockery. This person lightly raised his arms, and under the wide robe, his thin arms slightly lifted...

  A burst of light like stars shot out from his two hands, and soon Du Wei and others felt a bright flash before their eyes!

  In this empty cave, a row of candles suddenly appeared on the walls around! The candles flickered brightly, instantly illuminating the cave with an unparalleled brilliance!

  Then, in the direction that the glow swept over... stone tables, chairs, and even stone cabinets appeared in the cave.

  These things are also exceptionally delicate and beautiful, and finally even appeared on the stone walls of several gates!

  "Please sit down, my little guests." The man pointed to a stone chair beside him: "We can talk slowly."

  Then he seemed to think for a moment: "Oh, let me think, what's still missing... Ah, I know."

  He raised his head and looked up at the top, lifted a finger and lightly touched... A ray of light shot out from his fingertips and hit the top of the cave.

  Under Du Wei's astonished gaze, the cave above suddenly collapsed!

  The dome pressed down to a certain distance, paused, and then the arched shape of the dome turned into a flat ceiling-like appearance. Even from the ceiling, a golden light slowly spread out and finally transformed into a gold-plated chandelier! On top of it, twelve candles swayed gently...

  Du Wei and others were stunned!

  Especially Vivian and Joanne! Both are geniuses who excel in magic and have a good eye for things!

  Such magic is simply divine!!

  "My little guests, is there anything else you need?" The man's voice was indifferent.

  "...food, water." Du Wei ventured a sentence: "We haven't eaten our fill for several days now."

  ...The man smiled, fortunately this time he didn't laugh out loud, but a silent smile...Looking at a semi-transparent skull smiling at you, the scene was not pleasant.

  "Sorry, I can't do that." The man shook his head and smiled wryly: "My magic can conjure up anything here... except for food and water. Everything you see is just a magical illusion - these chairs, tables, and lights can deceive your eyes and your sense of touch. But I'm unable to conjure up food and water because I have no way to deceive your stomachs. No way to quench your hunger and thirst."

  He seemed somewhat regretful.

  But Du Wei and others felt that this guy was already very formidable!

  "Vivian, can you conjure up these things in an empty room with magic?" Du Wei asked softly to the little fool beside him.

  Vivian immediately shook her head: "Even Old Master can't do it!"

  Du Wei looked at Joana again, and Joana also said: "Do you think magicians are gods?"

  "Oh, this little white-haired girl, what are you saying..." The other party heard Joanna's words: "You said 'Do you think magicians are gods', hmm, if that's what you're saying..."

  He floated up a few more steps, closer to Joanna, his tone serious and low: "So, what do you think, what is this so-called God?"

  Joanna was a bit nervous, her body involuntarily arched back: "God... God is God! God created the world and all things..."

  Before Joanne finished speaking, this person suddenly got angry!

  His entire robe suddenly puffed up like it was inflated! Then, a shocking roar that made Du Wei and the others tremble with fear echoed out!!

  "Tell lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  The roar reverberated back and forth in the cave, leaving Du Wei even a little dizzy!

  The person in front of him had a ferocious expression, with extreme anger, his robe was puffed up, obviously in a state of extreme rage...

  Du Wei immediately asked cautiously: "Then... sir, what is your 'truth'?"

  This question immediately calmed him down. He put away his arms and seemed to glance at Du Wei: "Now, it's not time to say these things yet."

  He took a step back and looked at the three guests in front of him before saying: "Please tell me your names, my little guests."

  "Why?" Joanna asked.

  "This is the least respect for the master." The man smiled with a hint of mockery.

  Du Wei did not hesitate and immediately shouted out loud: "Du Wei·Roland, Roland Empire's Roland Family, Vice Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Command, son of Count Raymond."

  Vivian could only report her own name, followed by Joanna, who hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying "Joanna!"

  "Oh, great." The master smiled and said: "A noble aristocrat, two female magicians. This time's guests are much more interesting than last time."

  "So, what's your name?" Du Wei smiled at him: "As a host, you should have at least some respect for the guest."

  "Me?" The man's voice dropped down low: "My name is of no importance, if you must know it, my name is... Chris Duryeal Sonier Alabat Chirac Igual..."

  He took a deep breath and reported an extremely long name, which made Du Wei and others dizzy.

  Finally, this guy got to the point: "......Actually, I am not the master of this place, I am just a servant. The most loyal servant of the master!"

  Who is it?

  Is it possible for a servant to possess such magical powers? And who else could possibly have a servant like that?!

  "So... your master is..." Du Wei asked cautiously, his tone a few degrees more respectful.

  After all, the other party's strength is right here!

  "My master..." The guy smiled, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth: "You must know his name, although he has many different names in various books... However, worldly people have a general term for him, that is..."

  He paused for a moment and smiled:

  "Devil."
