Chapter 1473 - 61: Elliog
"..."Fisher and Emhardt’s sudden silence led Solomon to inevitably misunderstand a little. He even thought Fisher was hesitant to enter the Demon God’s abode, so he hurriedly added,
"There is no need to worry about danger. With the great Mother Goddess’s seal, even if they are awake, they absolutely won’t be a match for you, not to mention I am unsure of the state of the Demon God... Speaking of which, I am not clear on what the guest has come here for. If there is anything you need assistance with or want to know, you can inquire with me first, and I will strive to provide you with answers..."
"No, he isn’t worried about danger in entering, after all, there is some... connection, that kind of connection. Oh, that’s not right, there is some danger, especially as he has brought another deeply connected woman here, who knows what will happen when they meet..."
"I accept your request." Fisher patted Emhardt, who was marveling beside him, on the shoulder, bringing Solomon back to his senses. He then continued, "Do you know what the Competitive Gate is about? I have two companion partners, but now I’ve come in, and they are nowhere to be seen, nor do I see the door I entered through."
Solomon blinked and replied,
"Oh, I didn’t expect you to come in through the front gate. You must have been affected by the scroll I left from my youth. Back then, I was taught some mysterious knowledge from afar by the Demon God named ’Paimon,’ and recorded it on the scroll. But in reality, those front gates are hard to open; not only is it difficult for outsiders to enter, even Demons inside can’t easily go out. That’s why they painstakingly build portals on land and within the Dynasty..."
He then looked up at the rock wall above, void of any openings, and continued,
"Those gates in the Dynasty and outside are actually not physical. When you see the true appearance of the gate, it already shows you’ve fallen into its predicament. Moreover, even crossing the front gate leads them to different positions in the Dynasty. They just all end up in the ’Competitive’ region, but this area is vast; they could be far from you or perhaps haven’t crossed the gate."
"If you want to check their state, you could head near Elliog the Demon God’s Fire Pillar. Her immense power covers the entire area beyond the Competitive Gate and can penetrate its seal to locate them..."
This means, no matter what, he has to explore where Elliog resides.
Fisher turned his head to look at the grand building, also growing some curiosity about the place where that lazy demon resides. After all, he did come here with the intention of seeking Elliog’s assistance, though unsure if she has awakened.
In truth, Fisher was still in the dark about how Elliog at the time broke through the Mother Goddess’s seal using the soul-out-of-body method to traverse vast distances to Nali to hunt down Erwin. Despite Elliog only possessing the Fourteenth Rank due to her soul-out-of-body state then, since learning from the Cardinal of Destiny about the Mother Goddess’s use of Authority’s seal, he felt her ability to leave was quite remarkable.
After pondering for a moment, he said no more and accompanied Emhardt and Solomon’s given treasure, heading toward Elliog’s abode.
Behind him, Solomon bowed his head, expressing deep gratitude,
"Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here awaiting your good news. Please make sure to deliver that letter..."
"..."
Fisher leaped and crossed a massive gap of the Sea of Magma, reaching the castle built against the rock wall by Elliog.
The castle was precisely sealed by two stone walls, hence the hot waves and bright light from below couldn’t reach here; it was both shady and quiet.
Setting foot here, Fisher realized that indeed this was an ideal spot for sleeping, no wonder the lazy demon chose it as a resting place.
"What gift did he give you, so rare he’s kept it for several millennia? It must be a treasure of considerable value."
Emhardt glanced at the bright gemstone in Fisher’s hand. Fisher casually felt it, rubbing his finger over the engraving in Ancient Human Language above the gemstone, sensing the inscription of "Imperial Treasure" on it.
"Indeed a rare treasure." After pondering for a moment, he said, "It’s a mineral from the Central Empire era used for making weapons, very durable and resistant to breaking, capable of repeated engraving magic. I’ve rarely seen such items outside; most should have been taken underground by the noble rulers of the Central Empire."
"Really rare, estimated he’s been eating bugs for these millennia? Amazingly, he could keep such a treasure until now..."
"This gift as gratitude is excessive; he knows the demons so well, undoubtedly aware of Elliog’s temperament. Or perhaps, even if he’s unaware, he might guess that Elliog hardly noticed him, so there wasn’t any issue with residing at the gate."
