Chapter 91 I'm here to save you
"Okay~ Go this way, there's a fire over there, watch your step..."
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the Jackal Head, Adam came to the bottom of the Fire Lake below the platform.
The Fire Lake is a blazing sulfur fire, but there is no raging flame at the bottom of the Fire Lake. Only the strong smell of sulfur fills the surroundings. The empty metal racks seem to be waiting for new souls to be tied up...
"According to what you said, Amit cannot devour souls without Anubis's order. Why is the cage of the Fire Lake so empty?"
"In the past few thousand years, only a few living people have come here, and there is no soul of the dead."
The Jackal Head didn't seem to feel anything wrong at all.
"Only the living came here?"
"Yes, it seems that the order of the underworld has also been in chaos after the gods left..."
The Jackal Head said this and quickly added:
"That's why I need to maintain the only remaining order here."
Not paying attention to the Jackal Head's words, Adam is more certain of his guess, but the most important thing now is to find Uther and the others.
"Didn't you say there are Amit here? Where are they?"
Amit has a crocodile head, a lion's upper body and a hippopotamus' lower body. It is a collection of creatures feared by the Egyptians and represents the judgment of hell.
However, in the investigation and research of Egypt, no one has found this magical animal, so the academic community believes that this creature is either extinct or just a fictional creature made up by Egyptian wizards.
Not only Muggles, but wizards also do this. For example, the Quibbler is believed to often make up some non-existent creatures.
"Uh... Logically, they should be patrolling all over the cage of the Lake of Fire. Maybe because there are no souls imprisoned here? We should be able to see them if we continue forward."
The jackal head also felt a little bad, but he still went forward.
There was a shouting sound in front, and finally found something different, but Adam's footsteps stopped when he approached.
In front was a metal frame with souls tied to it. Flames gushed out from the bottom of the metal frame, burning the souls on it and making them wail.
"The soul will be roasted in the cage of the lake of fire?"
The jackal head staggered, and was grabbed by the ear and dragged to Adam, his eyes full of innocence:
"Of course...otherwise...would they be tied up here to enjoy themselves?"
This is hell!
"..."
Adam didn't expect that this fake underworld would be so restored in such a place.
At this moment, the soul seemed to have discovered Adam and the jackal head, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened his mouth and spoke a string of ancient Egyptian.
"Sorry, I'm not a local, I don't understand."
After saying this, Adam grabbed the jackal head's ear and started running forward.
"Hey hey hey my ears——"
The metal racks were not neatly arranged in a row, but were scattered all over the cage of the Fire Lake. After finding two souls and finding that they were not right, Adam realized that the souls here were not arranged in the order of their arrival, so he stopped and took out a Clow Card:
"The seal is lifted!"
The atmosphere that filled the surroundings took a specific shape at this moment. A gentle smile took shape first, followed by golden hair and a graceful body...
"Adam..."
"Wind, there is no time to say hello, help me find Uther, you have seen him!"
"Okay."
Feeling the anxiety in the heart of the contractor, one of the four elements that built the world began to run wild, magic surged, and the blue mist swept to the end of the endless sight in the blink of an eye.
"Found it, come with me."
The jackal head, whose ears were finally released, had tears in his eyes. He pulled the ears on both sides to his eyes to see if the two ears were different in length. As a result, Adam grabbed both ears and pulled them forward--
"Ahh my ears!"
"Shut up!"
"Ah woo hoo hoo--"
The next moment, the jackal head was sealed in the mouth by the wind card with airflow, swallowing the wailing sound.
With the guidance of the wind card, it didn't take long for Adam to find Uther. What relieved him was that Uther was in good condition. Although he was also tied to the metal frame, he didn't wail like others.
His chest was cut open like his body, and there was a golden scarab inside. In addition, he was surrounded by protective magic that Adam felt familiar with.
Adam had previously released protective magic on Uther's body, but he didn't expect that even the soul far away could be protected together.
He quickly cast a protective spell on Merian next to him. Adam ran to Uther and stretched out his hand to his roommate whose chest was cut open:
"Uther... I'm here to save you."
"Adam... woo——"
Uther watched Adam walk up to him. He should have laughed because he was saved, but he couldn't help crying.
Fear, joy, emotion, grievance...all kinds of suppressed emotions surged up and could no longer be restrained. The only thing Uther could control was probably not to cry too loudly.
Patting Uther on the shoulder to signal him not to be anxious, Adam went around behind Uther and summoned the sword made of fairy mithril.
"This chain can't be untied..."
"Crack——"
Seeing that the sword cut the metal frame and the chain together as neatly as cutting tofu, the jackal head silently closed his mouth and reduced his presence.
Putting Merian down again, Adam held Uther, who was crying louder and louder, and gave him a shoulder and a hug.
Another love card was discovered that had the ability to directly touch the soul.
Merian sat weakly on the ground, looking at Adam, whom he had only met once, with extremely complex eyes.
Although the sudden appearance of a shield to block the flames was a strong proof, he really didn't expect that Adam would really go here to save his son... Although Tuya said that Hufflepuff, where his son lives, values friendship. , but seeing the strength of this friendship with his own eyes still made him a little unbelievable.
"Ugh...cough...cough!"
After venting his emotions, Uther gradually realized the current situation. He found himself lying in Adam's arms and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, his soul state was free of tears and snot, otherwise Uther thought it might be a good idea to pass out. choice.
What made Uther relieved was that Adam turned a blind eye to this. After his crying stopped, he just let go of him and looked at Merian:
"Uncle, let's go. I already have a way to untie Uther's heart."
"No, unlike Uther, I was already dead when my soul left my body. I can feel that I will soon go to the real underworld."
Merian shook his head, smiled and looked at his son who had a sad look on his face again, and then looked at Adam:
"Take Uther back with you. If you can save Uther, I have nothing else to ask for...I'm really happy that Uther can have you as a friend. Your friendship even makes me a little envious. With you here, I can leave with peace of mind.”
"What?"
Jackal was stunned, but Adam was not surprised at all:
"This is indeed not the underworld."
"Although this is not the underworld, it should have some characteristics of the real underworld. In addition, the scale above may really be the treasure of God Anubis."
Merian wanted to continue saying something, but found that he was becoming more and more unreal, and then looked at Uther:
"It seems I don't have much time. Remember to take that scale away and help me say goodbye to your mother and say I love her..."
After saying the last words, Merian turned into a silver-gray substance, swirled and submerged into the void. Uther couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"He...what did he mean just now?"
Jackal Head felt that his world had collapsed:
"This is not the underworld? How is it possible? This place is clearly——"
"What you should worry about is not whether this is the underworld..."
Holding Uther's shoulders, Adam looked at Jackal Head:
"It's that there is no Amit you mentioned here."
Jackal Head: "..."
Damn it, it seems like it will know next whether this is the underworld.
