Chapter 6: Divergence and Probing

When talking about the big shot behind the mirrored underground palace, Gu Xi noticed that including Jack, their eyes were all gleaming with excitement.

Although that big shot was deceived, he was genuinely skilled.

James I was the first person to go from being the King of Edinburgh to the Emperor of Britain.

At the beginning, he demanded so much, yet all he sacrificed was a city as a tribute.

If they had asked for less, wouldn't the price to pay be lower as well?

It could be said that the people of Victoria City, upon hearing that they had a chance to find the mirrored underground palace, had expressions akin to Arabs hearing that they had a chance to obtain a genie lamp.

It could be said that no one could control their ambition.

These people before him were no different.

For such an elusive dream, they gave up the chance to escape.

They joined Jack in the search for the mirrored underground palace.

But Gu Xi wasn't sure how many of them would survive in the end.

Jack didn't know Gu Xi's thoughts. After introducing the mirrored underground palace, he continued with the initial topic.

"Master Mage, I got accurate information from that architect. In the mirrored underground palace opposite Victoria Tower, there are a total of six doors. Legend has it that if the six doors are opened simultaneously, the banished city will return.

To open these doors, blood sacrifices are needed.

According to the situation of each door, the blood sacrifice requires the heads of a British Emperor and Empress, the blood of a British Princess and Heir Apparent, and the lives of a British Prince and Consort.

For each door, the blood sacrifice needs the lives and blood of one thousand to five thousand ordinary people.

These ordinary people also have certain requirements.

We are just part of the group meant to die."

Gu Xi's eyelids twitched, now understanding why he was brought here.

"They're thinking of using me as a sacrificial offering, how thoughtful of them. This infuriates me."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, a few people nearby nodded in agreement; they were all brought here this way, and no one wanted to be a sacrificial lamb waiting to die.

It's not just Gu Xi who was infuriated; anyone would be.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi said harshly, "This isn't over. Want to open the doors? I'll make sure they can't. Give me the map, I'll figure out how to destroy those doors."

"No!"

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, everyone, including Jack, shouted out.

Gu Xi looked at them in confusion, noticing their awkward expressions.

At this moment, Jack explained to Gu Xi, "Master Mage, it's not that I don't want you to destroy the doors, but... but, these doors weren't built by the mirrored underground palace, but were released by the big shot on the other side of Victoria False City.

Even if you destroy them, new ones will appear, and the cultists can perform blood sacrifices again, resulting in more innocent deaths.

Master Mage, you wouldn't want innocent people to die because of you, right?"
