Chapter 1129 Endless Ladder

"Master, don't worry. I will train them well!" Daphne's voice was full of excitement. She had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

This is the perfect opportunity for her to establish the prestige of the ruler of Shadow Castle among these newcomers.

"Know the scale." Gavin delegated power appropriately.

Evil people need evil people to deal with them.

Daphne, who was born as a priest of evil gods, is an expert in dealing with these demons, and is better than himself.

After she finishes playing the white face, it won't be too late for me to play the red face.

Many political tactics are universal, whether it is mortals, demons, or gods.

"I promise to satisfy the master. I will make them become the master's loyal dogs and use them for the master." Daphne promised excitedly.

After Gavin responded, he cut off the faith link and changed the direction of advance. It was Samori, who had just made a big fuss before.

The goddess of wealth, Wu Jin, asked in surprise: "Isn't that secret portal openable only at a specific time? Why did you go? Do you suspect that the succubi are deceiving you?"

"They don't dare to play such a crude trick." Gavin replied with a smile, "But don't forget, I have the power of the road, which has advantages that ordinary people can't match in terms of teleportation.

The portal that others can't use doesn't mean I can't use it.

This kind of restricted portal has a potential benefit, which can not only catch the enemy by surprise, but also keep most of the pursuers out."

"Makes sense." The goddess of wealth nodded involuntarily after hearing the news.

Every profession has its own specialty.

The divine power interprets this sentence to an extreme.

In the priesthood field that the gods represent, they are the existence that the top experts look up to.

The goddess of wealth said that her ability to gather wealth ranks second in Faerun, and no one dares to say that she ranks first.

Although Gavin didn't dare to say arrogantly that his attainments in roads and transmission had reached this level, he could definitely be ranked among the top ranks.

"The contract with the Voice of Grazite needs to be handled by the lady." Gavin also threw a professional question to the goddess of wealth.

"Okay." The goddess of wealth would naturally not refuse.

The problem before was not the newly signed contract, but the previous one.

She would naturally not make the same mistake twice.

Soon a detailed contract was placed in front of Gavin and the Voice of Grazite.

Like the last time, the goddess of wealth also maintained a neutral and objective attitude, which could not only guarantee Gavin's interests, but also ensure that the Voice of Grazite got what it wanted.

This is a prerequisite for the successful conclusion of a contract, and it also reduces the chances of the enemy finding loopholes in it. Those demons and devils have proved with practice that loopholes are often two-way and can be exploited by both parties.

They can use these loopholes to hunt souls, but they will also be restrained by mortals using these loopholes.

Those fair and objective contracts are the most stable, and the probability of loopholes is greatly reduced.

This is also the basic premise of the priesthood in charge of the contract.

The Voice of Graz't could neither find loopholes in it nor refuse, so it could only hold its nose and sign with Gavin in exchange for its future safety.

As soon as the two signed the contract, the Voice of Graz't immediately disappeared without a trace.

Without this thorn in the side, Gavin once again drove at full speed and arrived in Samory in less than half an hour.

The riots here did not end with Gavin's departure, but instead entered an uncontrollable state, with demons destroying, looting and killing everywhere.

Gavin not only controlled the leader of this place, the Succubus Manipulator, but also swept away her capable subordinates, the Lady Lancers. No one maintained the law and order here, and the chaotic evil nature of those demons was ignited and could no longer be controlled.

This was naturally extremely beneficial to Gavin.

He found the secret portal of Samory without any effort.

That portal was not an arched door in the conventional sense, but a spiral staircase, located in the lobby of the Lady Lancers headquarters, integrated with the conventional staircase.

Not to mention that he was unaware, even if he had received accurate intelligence, Gavin couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the intelligence?

This place also looked like it had survived a disaster, with ruins everywhere, undried blood everywhere, and corpses of demons everywhere.

It was obvious that a large-scale melee had occurred here.

This place was usually the second forbidden area of ​​Samory, and there would be more than two Lady Lancers stationed here all year round, and the safety level was second only to the Hall of Calculation.

The value was naturally second only to the Hall of Calculation, and most of Samory's military supplies and Lancers' personal belongings were stored there.

Those Lancers were either on a mission and not in the Abyss, or had become Gavin's prisoners, naturally attracting the patronage and competition of those demons.

"Why did you chase me here?" Gavin exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you done yet? Why are you holding on to me?" A sad and angry female voice sounded at the same time.

Just as Gavin was about to study the staircase, he unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance, and both of them reacted a little too radically.

While keeping a distance from each other, he blurted out his thoughts.

The other party was none other than the Triple Shadow Taharisi who had fought with him repeatedly before.

"Aren't you following me?" The two said in unison.

"Are you here for the secret portal?" The two said in unison.

Both of them are smart people. Through each other's rhetorical questions, they came up with a series of guesses.

Gavin's transfer to Samori was due to a series of unexpected factors. It was a temporary decision. The only enemy who knew about it was the Voice of Graz't, but he had been restricted by the contract and could not inform anyone.

It was purely coincidental that he met the Triple Shadow Taharisi here.

Her purpose was not difficult to guess. She also came to find a secret portal to leave Azgrat.

The reason was very simple.

In order to retrieve her clone, she not only backstabbed a Blood Baron incarnation at a critical moment, but also killed him in Gavin's hands.

The contract of the Goddess of Wealth was also lost because of her, and she had an unshirkable responsibility in it.

No matter which one it was, she would not have a good end in Azgrat.

Leaving this place and avoiding the sharp edge for a while was the best choice.

It was normal for her to know that there was a secret portal here.

She was originally a member of the Lady Lancers. After becoming a demigod, she was particularly appreciated by Prince Dark and left the organization.

Triple Shadow Taharisi realized that the other party was not coming to kill her. While breathing a sigh of relief, she responded: "Take me away from here, otherwise I will fight to the death and no one will leave."

She was really scared by Gavin's methods. She didn't want to be his enemy unless it was absolutely necessary, even though the other members of his demigod adventure team had been repatriated.

She no longer had any illusions about regaining the Goddess of Fortune Contract.

Or, the Goddess of Fortune Contract alone could not make up for her mistakes.

She just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

It's just that the portal here is very special. She couldn't open it after studying it for a long time, and she couldn't even sense its existence at all, even though she had seen it with her own eyes and entered it.

Just because she didn't have this ability didn't mean Gavin didn't have it.

She recognized Gavin's ability in the road as much as his tricks.

"Okay." Gavin responded readily.

He didn't want to cause any more trouble now. He couldn't take down the Triple Shadow by himself.

Once the two of them started fighting, it would be difficult for him to get away.

Then he added: "The premise is that I can open this portal. Please share the information you have with me."

"This staircase will become part of the Endless Ladder on the full moon night of Faerun. Whether you go down or up, you can enter the Endless Ladder.

But it's the beginning of the month, and there are still thirteen days before the full moon night.

I was going to wait here for thirteen days, but now you are here, I'm afraid I can't wait that long, and there may be pursuers at any time.

If you can't solve it in a short time, you can only find another way."

There was a trace of resentment in Taharisi's answer.

This time, she was obviously affected by Gavin again.

Now the whole of Azgrat is in a state of panic, and the ruling class of Samori has been annihilated again.

Normally, no one would pay attention to this place in a short time. She only needs to lie dormant until this secret portal opens by itself, and then she can disappear silently.

As long as she reaches the material plane, neither the Blood Baron nor the Dark Prince can do anything to her.

"This is not a coincidence, but a necessity. Many portals of the Endless Staircase are related to the moon phase of Faerun, because it was originally the masterpiece of Sulun, the moon goddess of Faerun, during the period of powerful divine power."

As Gavin said this, he carefully observed this section of stairs, trying to find clues.

He is not only familiar with the Endless Staircase, but even familiar with it.

However, this familiarity does not come from this life, but from the previous life.

In order to find the advanced artifact Sulun's Tears of the moon goddess Sulun, he forgot how many times he had entered and exited the Endless Staircase and how many steps he had climbed on the endless stairs.

In the previous life, he also relied mainly on it to get involved in the entire multiverse.

This is another reason why Gavin came here without hesitation when he heard that this secret portal led to the Endless Staircase.

The fragments of the high-level artifact, the Tears of Sulen, are still in his soul.

Gavin is very clear about the close relationship between the Tears of Sulen and the Endless Ladder. Maybe the two can produce a wonderful reaction.

So when approaching the stairs, Gavin's attention is not on the stairs, but on the moon in his soul.

The moon was originally like the background painting of Gavin's soul, motionless.

At this moment, a subtle change occurred - the change of the moon phase.

From a crescent moon, it gradually became fuller, with signs of transformation to a full moon.

The stairs in front of Gavin also emitted a faint moonlight, echoing from a distance.

Things did not go as smoothly as expected. The moonlight on the stairs was only a faint layer, barely enough to be distinguished by the naked eye, and there was still a long way to go before the transmission was enabled.

Corresponding to this is the change of the moon phase in Gavin's soul. Now at best, it has changed from a crescent moon to a waxing moon, which is still halfway.

Gavin can clearly feel that it is not strong enough. It was too badly injured before.

And Gavin never had the time to repair it, he just passively followed his growth, slowly drawing strength to repair himself.

This kind of repair is naturally very slow, it could take decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

Gavin is no longer the same as before. The means and abilities he can use are far beyond what he could have done before. He immediately tried to mobilize his road power and inject it into it.

It works.

The road power actually sank into the crescent moon of the soul. The suspended moon phase changes began again, but relatively slowly.

He was not afraid of the slowness. Gavin was afraid that the Tears of Sulen would be picky and would not eat his road power at all.

This is not surprising. The moon priesthood is only the core priesthood of the moon goddess. She also has a series of expanded priesthoods such as navigator and navigation, which are also related to the road priesthood.

Especially this endless ladder, which is more related to the road priesthood. It is listed as a multiverse transit center alongside the Sigil City, which is also called the Gate City.

Both have a large number of portals leading to various planes.

If you want to go to a specific plane, you can either go to the Sigil City to find the corresponding door and key, or try your luck in the endless ladder to see if you can find the portal to that plane.

The crescent moon, the gibbous moon, and finally a full moon.

When the full moon was in Gavin's soul, he was full of moonlight and then sank into the spiral staircase in front of him.

These wooden stairs changed visibly, and each step seemed to be polished and shining. They exuded a soft metallic luster, inlaid with silver patterns, and had exquisite obsidian inlays.

"Did you really open the door?" Taharisi, who had used it before, recognized it at a glance. This was a sign that the staircase portal was effective.

She just regarded it as the effect of Gavin's road power and did not doubt anything else.

Her eyes looking at Gavin were very complicated. In addition to hatred, there was also fear and dread that was difficult to conceal.

This guy was simply the star of disaster for her. Since she had a relationship with him, she was haunted by the goddess of doom and did not end up well.

Was it a wise choice for her to cooperate with him to escape together?

Once discovered, it would be like yellow mud falling on the crotch, it would be either poop or poop, it would be hard to tell.

But Gavin didn't care about her thoughts at all, he didn't even say hello, he just went up the stairs.

As he walked by, the moonlight on the stairs was slowly fading, turning back into wooden stairs.

Obviously, Gavin's opening of the door was temporary, and it would not last all night like a full moon night.

Taharisi couldn't hesitate any longer, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and stepped onto the stairs before the moonlight completely dissipated.

Gavin looked like he was strolling leisurely, but in fact he was incredibly fast. The triple shadow was only half a floor behind, even at full speed, it was chasing farther and farther, and lost his trace in the blink of an eye.

All he could see was an endless spiral staircase, like a twist, circling upwards.

There is a hole with a diameter of 20 meters in the middle. If you stretch your hand over it, you can even feel the breeze blowing. If you venture out of your head, whether you look up or down, you will see endless stairs.

This is the Endless Staircase.

Seeing that he has completely entered the Endless Staircase, the Triple Shadow Taharisi turned around and walked down, taking a completely different direction from Gavin.

The cooperation between the two just now was purely a temporary alliance under forced circumstances.

When the purpose of escaping from Azgrat was achieved, the alliance naturally broke down, and the two sides remained enemies, not friends.

The reason why the Endless Staircase is named Endless is that the stairs here are endless, and even if you spend your whole life, it seems that you will never reach its end.

Under normal circumstances, if you go down, you will return to Azgrat along the original route.

But this is Gavin's temporary opening of the door. When Taharisi stepped in, the power shrouded in the stairwell completely disappeared. The door has been closed, and the surroundings have become the stairs of the Endless Staircase again, so you can naturally go down.

After going down several floors and making sure that the temporary door had completely disappeared, Taharisi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

In the short term, she was safe. As long as she was in the Endless Ladder, even Prince Wu'an could do nothing to her.

Just like the Sigil City, the Endless Ladder also did not welcome the existence of divine power.

Demigods between humans and gods were the limit of entering this place, and even the moon goddess Sulun, the creator of the Endless Ladder, was no exception.

This was done to ensure the stability of the Endless Ladder, which was composed of countless twisted spaces. If those divine powers entered and exited this place, the absolute laws they carried would destroy this stability and directly lead to the collapse of the ladder.

The stairs collapsed, so there was naturally no way to enter.

However, this collapse was temporary and local in nature, and would not cause fatal damage to the Endless Ladder, just like it existed forever.

Under the existence of divine power, Taharisi had absolute confidence that no one could pose a fatal threat to her.

The local creatures of the Endless Ladder, just sensing her breath, either fled in panic or hibernated silently, not daring to show their heads.

"What a coincidence, do you want to go together?" A young and handsome face appeared in the sight of the Triple Shadow again, asking with a smile.

Seeing this familiar face, Taharisi felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart - the other party was naturally none other than the Killing Hand that parted ways not long ago.

Apart from cursing the bad fate in her heart, the Triple Shadow was really powerless to complain.

One of the two people was going up, and the other was going down.

The one who was going up actually appeared in front of him. Judging from his posture, he had arrived here for a while.

But this is not surprising. The Endless Ladder is not a staircase in the true sense, but a distortion of countless spaces.

Its shape is multidimensional, and it is not fixed in place, but constantly changing.

Do you think it is going up?

From another angle, it is actually going down.

Vice versa.

The reason why the Endless Ladder is endless is not that it has endless stairs, but that it uses finite stairs to arrange endless combinations.

The other party is on a staircase platform, which is a standard 5×5 (25 square meters). He not only set up a small camping tent here, but also set up a big pot, boiling food. It can be said that it is delicious and delicious, and it is estimated that it can be heard from ten floors up and down.

Taharisi, who just came down from above, knew that this was just an illusion.

Before she saw him, she didn't smell anything until she stepped onto the staircase landing, and the rich aroma of food hit her face.

Obviously, this staircase landing is a separate space. (End of this chapter)
