Chapter 574: Painting Demon
The structure of the multiverse world is simply like countless large and small spheres floating in a large water tank.
These spheres are planes, and the water in the large water tank is endless void.
Of course, this is just a relatively easy-to-understand statement. In fact, the relationship between the plane and the world is very complicated, and no one has been able to fully understand it so far.
What can be determined at present is that these countless planes can be roughly divided into three categories.
Demiplanes, mortal planes, and outland.
Demiplanes have been mentioned before. Mortal planes sound as simple as a plane with a large number of mortals living in it, but in fact, the characteristic of mortal planes is impurity.
Among mortals, saints who make angels respect can be born, and criminals who make demons feel ashamed can also be born.
This impurity is the characteristic of mortals.
Since there is impurity, there is naturally purity.
And these overly pure planes are called outland, including the divine realm of the gods.
For example, the Heaven Mountain and Sky Sanctuary where angels live are the upper planes, and the Fairy Wilds where fairies live, as mentioned before.
The lower planes are mainly the Endless Abyss where demons live, and the Nine Nether Hells where devils live.
This up and down is not a simple positional relationship, but a derogatory term for evil demons.
It sounds unfair, but in fact, in the eyes of most people, the name of the lower plane is not offensive enough.
The level of dog coins of evil demons is so high that even dark elves can call them big brothers.
They are born, pure evil, completely different from the gray coexistence of good and evil in the mortal world.
This is why tieflings are discriminated against in mortal society, after all, they have the blood of evil demons.
Demons and devils are not the same creatures. Although they are both dog coins, the direction of dog coins is different, and both sides regard each other as enemies.
The devil is like a capitalist who sucks the marrow out of your bones. It seems that he will sign a contract with you and help you do something, but in fact, the contract is full of pits.
Their methods of cheating people are mainly limited to the scope allowed by the rules, so you can't say anything.
Demons are relatively simple, which means they all have to die!
Whenever the traces of evil demons are found in the mortal world, it is a big deal, because these damned people coming to the mortal world will definitely not be good.
But the good news is that it is very difficult for evil demons, which are pure creatures, to enter the mortal world, unless some idiots take the initiative to open the portal for them to come in.
Among these people, there are many wizards.
Dwarves will never cooperate with evil demons. Moradin is the first to disagree. So the two bodies of ice demons appeared here, and they were definitely not summoned by the dwarves.
Ordai guessed that it might be the devils summoned by the wizards who came here to explore after the dwarves left, and used as guards or servants.
Although it cannot be brought to the table, there are actually many wizards who cooperate with evil demons. Not to mention summoning evil demons as thugs, the evil demons themselves are also excellent raw materials for making magic items or potions.
Although the demons are pure evil, they are not stupid. They can get more benefits through these magicians, so there is no need for them to refuse. Even if they cooperate, the ones who actually pay are other demons, not the contracted demons.
That's right, the demons' products are demons.
Let's talk about this topic in depth. There is a lot to say. Let's get back to the topic.
Aoerdai confirmed that the two ice demons were dead and would not jump up suddenly. Then she began to check their shells and confirmed that they had probably been dead for hundreds of years.
"Hundreds of years? Mage? Speaking of this time period..."
"Yue Luo's lover, Bratt."
Sure enough, they were connected.
According to Yue Luo, Bratt turned her into an oak tree, and Bratt himself was poisoned by Yue Luo, and he was very sure that he was dead.
But what made Aoerdai concerned was that the death of the summoner would not cause the death of the summoned creatures, but only sent the summoned creatures back.
The two ice demons obviously died here, and there were no obvious external injuries on their shells...
The cause of death is very worrying, because Aoerdai and the others may face this kind of thing soon.
–--——---
The body of the ice demon did not provide more clues. Aoerdai carefully checked it, and basically got no useful clues except the time.
So the three of them had to bypass the fountain and continue to move forward. No matter what is ahead, if you want to go to the sixth floor, you have to take this road.
And time is not abundant. Don't forget that the drow, wild bear mercenaries and the meaningless Glow Ion Yin Cult are all up there and may catch up at any time.
Continue to move forward and reach the end of the passage. At this time, you can see a doorway on each side, but the doorway on the left is blocked by fallen rocks, which means you can only go to the right.
But on the wall facing the passage, there is something that makes people can't help but look at it.
A painting, a huge painting that is probably about ten meters long.
The main colors of this painting are black and red. At first glance, it looks like a large blood-red hill or ocean, which is indescribably strange.
The strangest thing is that this thing has been here for who knows how long, but there is no sign of decay. Except for a layer of dust on it, it seems that time has been ignored by it.
Nemiah looked at the painting, or more precisely, at the gems inlaid on the frame.
The frame was covered with a layer of gold, and the large and small colorful gems sparkled intoxicatingly under the dim light of the dancing light, as if telling Nimia.
Come here, pick two, no one will find out.
Nimia was born in a typical poor family. Not only did she not have parents to take care of her since she was a child, she also often wandered around different cities with a group of orphans to make a living.
People from famous families like Olde and Zora don't particularly care about gold coins and gems. They have seen too many of these things and they are no longer attractive.
But for Nimia, it is not just a little bit of attraction.
When Nimia passed by the frame, she couldn't help but reach out to pry off one or two gems and take them away.
But the moment she turned her head to look at the frame, she suddenly felt confused. In the haze, she seemed to see a figure appear in the red and black sea of blood on the canvas.
She called out to Aldea, but she stared at the canvas, trying to see what the figure was.
It was strange to say, the figure on the canvas seemed to move, and Nimia thought it was a magic painting. Moving paintings were not uncommon in the magic world.
The figure was walking towards Nimia outside the frame step by step, getting closer and closer, until it was about to step in front of her, Nimia finally saw it clearly.
The person in the painting was herself.
Her face was pale, her body was bloodless, her eyes were just two black holes, and her chin was as long as it was dislocated.
Nimia was startled and was about to step back, but at this time her head was grabbed by a pair of hands. In horror, she looked at the painting again, and the person in the painting opened her hands, as if she was grabbing Nimia and trying to pull her into the painting.
"Back off!"
At the critical moment, a ray of light pierced through the darkness and terror, and Aldea raised her staff, and a strong light burst out from the gem at the top of the staff.
Zora grabbed Nemya and pulled her away from the painting.
Nemya suddenly seemed to have lost the strength to stand up, and sat on the ground, more like a person who had just almost drowned, gasping for breath.
"What happened just now?"
"You were bewitched by the painting demon."
"Painting demon?"
At this time, Nemya heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from the painting, but it gave people a chilling feeling.
