The deceased Hertis looked quite majestic, carrying a staff with a silver eagle head, and took the lead to enter the gate.
When he stood in the basement of the castle and looked back, Mariana made a gesture of invitation to her most worried "clown" Oredy.
The latter reluctantly took out a golden pocket watch, held it carefully in his hand, and walked slowly into the door.
After the two transcendent beings entered safely.
Su Li and Lilith walked into the underground castle together.
Mariana pulled out the key satisfactorily, held the door handle with one hand, and brought the solid wood door with her as she turned and entered.
With a wave of spatial fluctuations, the originally yellow-glowing wooden door closed completely, turning into an underground stone wall with no return.

Looking at the torches burning slowly on the surrounding walls, Su Li smelled a scent of decay.
The surrounding area here was covered with slightly cleaned broken cobwebs.
The corpses of some scavengers could be seen everywhere on the ground.
There were snakes, mice, and scorpions.
These suddenly appearing humans obviously alarmed the small animals in the ruins. They ran around and rushed to the corners of the walls, and some even hid in the shadows.
Lilith wrinkled her nose, obviously feeling uncomfortable with the unpleasant smell here.
The deceased Hertis held a silver staff and seemed to be investigating. After a brief exploration, his expression gradually became ugly.
"The air here doesn't circulate, and the passage above has been destroyed."
Upon hearing this, the clown Oredy's face changed slightly.
"Since we have come here, of course, I have made thorough preparations. I have completely sealed the underground entrance of the entire ruins. If you want to leave, unless I use the universal key, no one can get out."
Mariana's smile had a hint of madness, and she said lightly:
"Unless there is someone in the group who is an apprentice sequence and can use the transcendent power of a traveler."
"Otherwise, the exploration of the ruins will not be interrupted. If you can't get the life-saving item for my child, you can only accompany me in burial."
Seeing Mariana's neurotic smile, Lilith sighed and looked at her coldly:
"Madam, we can understand your feelings, but what you are doing is tantamount to self-destruction."
"As long as you cooperate with me and complete the adventure, the wealth that should be given to you by our Paterson family will not owe a penny. But it is impossible to quit halfway."
Su Li interrupted Mariana's words and said slowly:
"Okay, there is no need to emphasize it anymore. You are a great mother, and that can be understood."
"Let's talk about business."
"Where is the danger in this ruin? What is your brother's sequence and what danger did you encounter? What do you want to take us here for?"
Hearing Su Li's words, Mariana calmed down a bit.
She groaned for a moment and said:
"The reason why our Paterson family is called the Path of Gods is not because the family itself is particularly powerful, but because our transcendent power is not obtained by taking magic medicine, but through bloodline inheritance."
"It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a god was born in our family-Samisis Paterson."
"The old god who controls war and metal, Samisis?!" The clown Oredy exclaimed.
Mariana smiled bitterly and glanced at the sequence seven, who had green hair, a high nose, and always maintained a smiling face, and said:
"I didn't expect someone to remember my ancestors."
There is no need to introduce this lady who is full of despair in her eyes.
The four transcendent beings present all have some understanding of the old god Samisis.
He is known as the God of Gold.
He is a powerful old god who controls all metals in the world.
And the ninth sequence in the path where he is located is called Swordsman.
The eighth sequence is called Weapon Master, the seventh sequence is War Ironhoof, the sixth sequence is Iron Controller, the fifth sequence is Magnetic King, and so on. These powerful transcendent beings are famous in history.
However, in the Second Era, the Twilight of the Gods.
The God of Gold fell.
After his power was divided by the God of War and the Gods of Steam and Machinery, the entire Paterson family instantly declined, until the rise of the Valerian Kingdom, the fleeting ruler of war, Logris Paterson.
After that, this divine family declined again.
To this day, Mariana, his descendant, cannot even produce the money to save her own child and can only rely on excavating their own ruins to barely survive.
How can this not make people sigh.
Looking at the ordinary woman in front of them, the four transcendent beings felt mixed emotions.
The path of the Swordsman, which relies solely on bloodline inheritance, has reached an unprecedented level.
This is enough to show how cruel the power struggle between the new gods and the old gods is.
"Our bloodline, rather than being a gift from the gods, is more like a curse."
"The Paterson family, children are a hurdle. Without the blessing of ancestors, most children cannot bear the contamination of transcendent power from birth. Those who are lightly affected will have difficult childbirth and die prematurely, while those who are severely affected will die in the womb, and the mother will die during pregnancy."
Mariana's tone was sad as she pointed to this ruin and said:
"Here, all the uncontrollable members of the clan are imprisoned. They are mutants and have been exiled to the underground since birth, never able to see the sunlight."
"Although our family has been trying to marry ordinary people generation after generation to dilute the divine bloodline, it is still difficult for the surviving members of the clan to give birth to normal babies. Some children born normally will gradually awaken transcendent power during their growth."
"If they fail to successfully advance to transcendent beings, they will lose control."
"In order to increase the survival rate of the clan members, members of the Paterson family will desperately give birth to children and then exchange the blood of ordinary children in their infancy. By collecting the blood of ten children, they can refine stronger transcendent power and inject it into the bodies of the most hopeful young children to ensure the purity of the bloodline."Upon hearing Mariana's words, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
The old god's bloodline was so cruel.
"My child has already shown signs of losing control. He must acquire a sufficient number of extraordinary traits. Because in my generation, the Paterson family only has me and my brother, and we can't have more children."
Extraordinary beings indeed have difficulty having offspring due to the pollution of their bloodline.
This is a universally acknowledged fact in the mysterious world.
"So, what we are facing are uncontrollable members of the Paterson family, whose numbers and strength are unknown?" Su Li took a deep breath and asked.
"Yes. That's what you will be facing."
Lilith noticed a detail and asked:
"What sequence is your brother?"
Mariana slowly said:
"Sequence six, the Iron Controller."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. Hertis, who was dead, couldn't help but say:
"Even a sequence six powerhouse can fall, yet you recruit us to accompany you on this adventure?! Why not find a higher-ranked powerhouse, wouldn't that be safer?!"
Mariana's eyes gradually shone with a beautiful aurora-like color.
She said coldly:
"Because I am the Sequence Five Magnetic King, and extraordinary beings of a higher personality cannot be controlled by me."
"So, you'd better behave, or this place will become your grave."
