Chapter 807 This place is a symbol of memory
When it comes to reading, Paimon is definitely the one who gets distracted the most.
If she were reading some interesting suspense or mystery novels, Xiaobaimao might have been able to persevere a little longer, but most of the materials at the Narcissus Cross Society were academic in nature, and she quickly grew tired of them.
She was especially angry when she turned her head and saw that drunkard was lying there lazily without any attempt to hide it.
However, before she could react, an even bigger change occurred around her.
"Danger! Danger! Remnants of the Narcissus Cross Society detected. This mission is now the highest priority. All unrelated personnel must immediately evacuate. Wide-area annihilation mode activated..."
Seymour's ammunition magazines on both sides of his body suddenly opened, and the laser on his head began to spin rapidly and start storing energy, about to launch a maximum-power attack, the direction of which was clearly the position where Caterpillar was standing.
Caterpillar was both amused and exasperated. "Seriously? We've been traveling together for so long, and you only just now confirmed my identity?"
Kong and Paimon quickly approached Seymour, "Seymour, calm down, calm down, this man is already atoning for his actions..."
Caterpillar nodded in agreement. "Yes, he served four hundred years in Melo Petersburg and was brought here as Mr. Xu Ning's prisoner to testify against the crimes he committed back then."
Upon hearing this, Seymour slowly closed his magazine. "Is that so? The initial sorting of the fragmented data is complete, but my data is still being updated too slowly."
Even though Seymour said that, the energy stored in its head weapon did not dissipate, and it was still inadvertently aiming at the vicinity of Katrapira.
It seems that it will remain wary of Caterpillar until it says "update the latest information".
Caterpillar sighed in frustration and ignored it. Instead, she said to Xu Ning, "This stupid dog will probably keep staring at me uncontrollably. Let's go out and do something else, and let this stupid dog and An stay here to investigate An's past."
Xu Ning seemed to have been waiting for these words, and immediately smiled happily upon hearing them.
"What else can we do?"
Katarpira pulled a map-like sheet of paper from the book in his hand. "I found the layout of the Seal of Seal from back then. Well, to put it simply, it's four seals."
Kong asked, "What about a seal?"
Caterpillar unconsciously rubbed the spine of the book. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the one that seals the primordial womb."
Kong and Paimon looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You mean the Narcissus Cross's plan is very likely to liberate the Primordial Ocean once again?"
Kong shook his head and said, "The last time the Primordial Sea of Conception raged, it didn't do anything to Feng Dan. If it happens again..."
Kong didn't finish his sentence, but the subtext was self-evident.
Trying again would be even less effective, since the people of Fontainebleau are no longer afraid of the waters of the primordial womb, and the little bit of womb remaining below might not even be enough to drown a frog.
Katarpira pointed to the wooden sword at his empty waist. "I don't want to touch the seal, but there are things in the four quadrants of the Seal of Seal that can reforge the Holy Sword. We must reforge the Holy Sword and take it into our own hands before the Society's plan is launched."
"After all, whatever the society's plan is, the Holy Sword will definitely play a huge role in it. I've said it before, the Holy Sword can be used to sever the power of self and will. No matter how you look at it, it is an extremely powerful tool."
Xu Ning stood up and dusted off his back. "That makes a lot of sense. Let's take this sword and set off..."
"...I'll go with my older brother!"
Kong suddenly spoke up: "Neither Paimon nor I are good at reading. Instead of wasting time here, we should scout ahead for our elder brother. After all, the Society should have made a lot of preparations for such an important place."
Caterpillar really wanted to say that most people wouldn't even be aware of the existence of such a place, so there was no need to make any arrangements.
However, Xu Ning didn't ask Kong for the wooden sword again. Instead, he smiled and nodded, "Let's go together then."
After giving Ann a few instructions, leaving her and Seymour behind, the group followed Caterpillar to an ancient building.
"Is this tower the seal we're looking for?"
Paimon shaded his eyes with his hand and looked up at the tower on the small island in the middle of the sea, asking with a curious expression.
Katarina shook her head. "The place we need to go isn't there. We're looking for four seals, but we need them to locate us. Who knows if our fates will eventually intersect there? Only God knows."
"Let's go. If I haven't held the map upside down, that's our first destination."
The group followed Caterpillar down the stone steps of a dilapidated building, and then walked a distance long enough to enter the deep sea, but they still hadn't reached their destination.
"Why do the buildings in Ancient Fontaine also seem to be in the style of Kanria, built facing downwards?"
Kong actually cracked a joke, which was quite rare for him.
Xu Ning pointed to the sea outside and answered his question, "It may have originally been above sea level, but with the two rises in sea level, it looks like it is buried in the deep sea."
Paimon nodded in understanding, and then asked his own question.
"However, along the way, we haven't encountered any monsters that could stop us, nor have we triggered any terrifying traps, not even..."
Paimon pointed ahead, "...They even seem to have opened the door for us. Do you think someone has been here?"
Caterpillar's expression changed, and she quickly walked towards the last door.
The door was indeed open, and inside there was a base that resembled an altar. However, due to the water curtain obscuring the view, it was impossible to see what was placed on it.
"It seems we need to solve a puzzle to open the mechanism."
Xu Ning drank his wine and pointed to the words engraved on the wall beside him.
Although some words are blurry, several sentences can still be clearly seen.
"This place is... a memory... I can't see it clearly..."
Caterpillar filled in the parts Paimon couldn't see clearly, "It should be quadrants. Hall of memories, between memories...born in an instant...often at odds, accompanying you in eternal sleep, never separated...fire cannot reach..."
Upon hearing this, Paimon suddenly spoke up and gave the answer, "It's fire. Look, there was a fire burning in front of this door, although it's already extinguished. But who would light a fire in the doorway? It must be the key to opening the door."
Kong shook his head. "This violates the rules of riddles. The riddle says that even raging fire cannot reach it, so the answer cannot appear in the riddle. It must be something else."
Xu Ning glanced at the fire on the ground and smiled. "Perhaps Paimon's intuition is right. Let's make a fire again. Paimon, just float there and don't move."
With a snap of his fingers, Xu Ning conjured a ball of flame in his hand, and the water curtain seal behind him shattered instantly.
