Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 739 Rushing into the Noisy Empty Tunnel
"The Lady of Pain's Blade?" Armmus reacted immediately. "Although it may seem to have little effect, in reality, a divine spell like ripping space is still..."

“It’s inherently bad, how could it not be affected? To maintain this state, we have to praise the Sun God and the Lord of Storms for doing their utmost.” Katarina chuckled. “Anyway, the sky is one, it’s just that our side will definitely crack first.”

But this is actually quite good for us, otherwise we would have to burrow underground.

Lowry also thinks this isn't quite right, don't you think?

Armies gave a seemingly awkward smile: "Indeed."

If Hades wakes up quickly, they might just walk right into his arms.

He has not handled the Pearl matter very well, he has been hesitant and caught in a dilemma.

If it weren't for his mother's overly strong reaction, Armies would never have considered taking Pearl with him on this risk.

He was never a good person.

Giving Pearl a divine position in the realm of Manjusaka was already one of Armas's kindest decisions.

After all, from the very beginning, when he looked at Pearl, he didn't just see her.

But his mother was clearly unwilling to accept this outcome.

Then Almes would consider it a little more.

Of course, if Pearl only wants a stable future and is unwilling to take risks, then Armies won't interfere... Even the weakest god is still a god!

He didn't feel he owed Pearl anything.

But Pearl, who had always lived like a proper aristocratic lady for so many years, ignited the resilience in her nature at the crucial moment and actually chose to embark on this dangerous journey with them.

If it were the old her, she would definitely choose the path that, while not the best, is safe and stable enough.

Therefore, his initial design revealed a few problems... For example, he never considered the need to avoid the underworld region deep underground.

Even Katarina noticed it.

He couldn't help but sigh softly to himself.

No wonder Pearl no longer gets close to him and only wants to draw strength from her mother.

Unfortunately, this is the most awkward stage.

But that's really nothing. Once the divine fire is truly ignited, Pearl will understand what's really going on with her.

She was just Persephone, who was particularly fixated on a certain memory.

You can let yourself go for a while, but in the end, you are still Persephone.

“Ah…” Bowen, who had been standing behind Ezra, exclaimed in surprise.

Above the white clouds, the sky resembles a transparent mirror with a gradient of blue and orange.

It looks perfect.

However, if one's mental strength is strong enough, one can see the faint cracks.

“It’s cracked…” Pearl looked at the sky, her face full of surprise.

Has it already recovered to this point?

Their decision was indeed timely. Hades should have already woken up and started looking for people, otherwise Persephone's divine power wouldn't have returned so quickly.

Armies glanced at her before calling out loudly, "Mom and Dad, go sit in your seats!"

Space jumps could be activated at any time, making it easy to fall.

They were all well-trained soldiers, so he didn't need to repeat himself.

The low-backed sofas on the swan boat are a bit small, but they are quite comfortable and each has its own protective cover.

It is divided into three rows, with two chairs in each row. The armrest in the middle can be opened to turn into a small table, or it can be rotated down to connect two chairs into one.

Besides Armes himself sitting at the very front, Ezra and Bowen also tacitly sat at the very back.

The middle section was left to the lady.

Of course, this is mainly for Pearl.

While Pearl may have become stronger after awakening Persephone's power, her combat awareness is definitely still lacking.

They returned to their positions in time, and the swan boats were clearly getting faster and faster.

"Hmm~ Good luck, a big one~ I'm going!" Katarina suddenly got excited and accelerated a lot.

A bronze key lit up on her forehead.

Almes and the others suddenly felt darkness envelop them as the swan ship was enveloped by a closed cyan vortex.

Armies opened his eyes and asked softly, "Mom and Dad, is Pearl alright? How is Uncle Bowen?"

“I’m fine,” Bowen said simply. “Your dad is a little dizzy.”

I imagine the Countess is in a similar situation.

“I… I have a bit of a headache,” Pearl’s voice followed, “but it doesn’t seem to be because of the space jump.”

"Don't overthink it," Armes quickly reassured her. "You used your mental power, which will definitely cause some disturbance. Just close your eyes and rest, but don't fall asleep, understand?"

“Mmm,” Pearl responded softly.

"Huh?" Katarina's voice rang out again, "Is the bustling empty tunnel really this beautiful?"

The typhoon outside the swan boat dispersed.

What appeared before them was a huge spherical cave.

Countless rivers meander along the walls of the grotto, flowing from one cave to another. But some rivers flow into the tunnels suspended in the air.

The path is winding and the direction is unpredictable.

Above and below them, there were crisscrossing rivers in the sky.

Incredibly, despite the terrible storm raging inside the cave, no river was affected.

"This is the first level of the Noisy Void Tunnel, the Gravel Cavern," Armes said calmly. "The rule here is directional gravity... Gravity is directed towards the sidewall closest to any living being; there is no normal ground."

"What do you mean?" Ezra asked with difficulty, finally regaining his senses. "Can you speak like a human being, son?"

"Wherever you walk next to a wall, that's the ground." Armies pursed his lips and finally gave an extremely simple answer, "But occasionally you'll encounter some places with absolutely no gravity... well, some gaps, and if you lean in, you'll be blown away and blown to who knows where."

So, Dad, don't be too curious.

"Then what do we do?" Ezra asked slowly.

"Katarina, have you enjoyed the scenery?" Armes asked with a smile the giant wolf that was looking up at the sky.

“Hmm…that’s really interesting,” Katarina replied. “When we get back, I’m going to ask Lowry if we can build a cave like that in our Wolf Mountain.”

"Have you rested enough? Can you continue jumping?"

“Alright,” the Countess replied readily. “I’m just a little nauseous, but I’ll be fine after a few minutes of rest.”

"Next stop, the Sorrowful Empty Tunnel~" This time, what appeared above Katarina's head was a blue key.

The typhoon was activated again, but the swan boat suddenly began to spin rapidly.

"Hold on tight!" Katarina shouted. "That's the House of Madness! It's inhabited by a bunch of lunatics who tried to ambush me!"
Damn it~ If I hadn't brought people with me…

The swan boat rolled a few times and then stopped.

Although she shouted fiercely, Katarina jumped away very quickly.

This time, the whirlwind did not dissipate, but instead solidified into a transparent wind wall in front of it.

Katarina muttered to herself outside, "The Sorrowful Tunnel is just a giant chimney filled with wind, it's so noisy."

That's the Roaring Cliff over there, do you want to take a look?

Anyway, I'm going to watch it.

Armies blinked.

A realization dawned on me: Roaring Cliffs is most famous for its countless caves inscribed with lost magical characters that form strange hymns, rituals, and strings of formulas or numbers.

But he didn't believe that Katarina would be interested in such a thing.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the side of the ship beside him.

The magical creature known as the Living Feather has a penchant for devouring feather amulets.

Even the most ordinary feather amulet can level up a newly hatched feather several times.

The Quart Amulet, a top-tier feather amulet, goes without saying.

Although normal people wouldn't use high-level artifacts as food for living feathers, Lowry might not necessarily.

And the living feather can be transformed into any feather amulet he has ever devoured.

Katarina's performance just now was indeed quite cultured.

He hadn't thought of it at first, simply because he didn't believe that the other party could control the birds' eyes across dimensions.

But now it seems that Lowry has raised his living feathers to an incredible degree.

Indeed, he can even feed Huoyu with dragon feathers!

Dragons, on the other hand, can live anywhere...if they want to.

He turned to look at Bowen: "Uncle Bowen, although those runes are very meaningful, I hope you don't take them too seriously."

Even when tracing characters, one should only leave at least one-fifth of the work within their own mental capacity.

Bowen paused for a moment: "Can I?"

He was indeed eager to act when he heard Katharina's words; the scholar's blood boiled instantly.

But Bowen didn't want his hobby to affect the overall situation.

He didn't know what abilities Armies possessed, nor did he know the extent to which Pearl would recover.

They have remained silent and followed until now, just so that when Ezra is in danger, at least there won't be no one left to heal him.

This time, he brought all his scrolls, including the blank ones.

“Yes, that’s fine.” Armies looked at Pearl’s somewhat worried face and smiled slightly. “Even if Pearl hasn’t awakened to the point where she can heal, my Thousand-Thread Spider Vine can help her quickly recover her physical and mental strength.”

The continuous healing is even better than your scroll spell!

Uncle Bowen, you can choose more protective and instant healing spells.

"Would you like me to help you see if there's a suitable healing mantra on the cliff for you to copy?"

Bowen nodded: "That would be best. I won't stand on ceremony then."

“This is all for me.” Armies smiled, his eyes crinkling. “I should be thanking you, Uncle Bowen.”

“No need to talk about that,” Bowen replied calmly. “Ezra and I have always been one.”
