Anduin took a deep breath and placed an almost full-length visor on his head, looking at the birdcage in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his iron-clad gloves to push them away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Harvey, the old Viku man sitting next to Anduin, sat cross-legged on the dirty ground, silently watching Anduin pack his bags, this is the third day that the little prince has been trapped here, to be precise, the outside world may not even have passed a day.

The old Viku people didn't understand why he was so impatient... Even the rudest of the Vikus, when thrown into this cage, will carefully prepare a set of tactics before attacking, not like Anduin.

The little prince hadn't asked anything about Harvey since he got the news on the first day, and then early this morning, although it was difficult for this ghost place to detect the change of time, it was still possible to detect it through the biological clock sooner or later.

This is the biggest crisis of the Shadow Country, once its own biological clock is disordered, it will be difficult to keep time, and even the illusion of being trapped for a lifetime will occur.

And as soon as this delusion appears, the collapse of the will is just around the corner.

"Do you know where you're going to go when you get out? Do you know how to leave?"

Harvey asked, "Do you have a complete plan?"

Anduin's finger was already at the entrance of the birdcage, he glanced at Harvey and shook his head,

"I don't know, but I know, I can't stay here, I can't stay in a cage... I can't live as a prisoner. ”

"But you're at least alive!"

Harvey suddenly became agitated, and his hands ignored the barbs on the railing, allowing the rusted barbs to prick his fingers with blood.

"It's not a glorious thing to be reckless to die! That's meaningless! Do you think your iron armor can stop the rules of the Shadow Country? Stupid, at most fifteen minutes, your body will be exposed to deadly air, and if it is ten more minutes, your blood will be full of filthy ashes, and even if it is death, it is the most painful way to die!"

"And here, death is just Hela's game... You won't even see her face!"

Anduin glanced back at Harvey, then turned and took a glass of water from his ring and handed it to him,

"If death were Hela's game... And what about captivity? You think you won, you survived, but it seems to me that you lost... And it was a miserable loss. ”

Harvey took Anduin's water, and as he watched as he pushed open the door of the birdcage, letting the deadly mist pour into it, he shouted,

"What do you mean? Imp, you make it clear! Imp! Imp? Are you still there?"

There was no response, Anduin had probably walked out of the birdcage, Harvey sat on the ground as if he had lost all his strength, he looked at the water in his hand that was already full of gray flocculent, twisted the bottle open, and was about to drink it, but looking at the ash in the water, he suddenly remembered Anduin's last look at him.

Is that... Mercy, and a, indescribable contempt...

"Bastard!"

Harvey slammed the water glass in his hand on the railing in front of him, letting the water splash, he took a deep breath, recited a spell that he hadn't recited for a long time, and shrouded himself with a layer of absolutely unbrilliant light, he breathed heavily, and then with a trembling hand, pushed away the birdcage in front of him, and walked out.

"Bastard imp!"

Harvey scolded, leaned down, looking for footprints on the ground, and then strode forward, the shield on his body collided with the rules of the Shadow Nation of Mist, fierce sparks bloomed from the outer layer of this shield, and Harvey felt the pressure he had not felt for a long time.

He had seen many of his compatriots walk into the fog, but none of them had ever come back alive.

He felt the pressure, and even had the idea of turning back, as long as he could go back to the birdcage, he would... At least survive, don't you?

But at the thought of Anduin's unbearable look, Harvey gritted his teeth and cheered himself up in his heart,

"Even if it's for a few glasses of water and food for him, wait until you find him dying, despise, hum!"

"Stupid imp!"

Harvey cursed and searched in the fog of the corrosive rules, and in the fog in front of him, Anduin was in terrible condition.

As Harvey said, only when he really entered the fog, the little prince understood the horror of this fog, the hissing sound kept flowing on the iron armor on his body, it was the resistance of the Shadow Nation to foreign objects, his mouth and nose were wrapped in a precious enchanted cloth, which could ensure that he was in the fog and would not let the fog enter his body, but even through the increasingly obscure purification circle, he could still smell the rust from the iron armor.

At most, for another 5 minutes, this set of iron armor will no longer be able to protect him, it is unimaginable that the armor handmade by the dwarven master, which can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins on the black market, can't even last ten minutes?

Anduin's heart began to drum, as Harvey said, he had no idea where to go out of the fog, he was reckless, he just wanted to get out of that predicament.

He knew, he knew what it meant to be a cage.

Dick told him that story countless times... More vicious than utterly hopeless despair, leaving a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair, when you push open the door with hope, you are greeted with even more terrible despair!

In Anduin's opinion, the birdcage was the "door" that Hela had left for these Veku heroes, waiting for someone to push it open, Harvey was probably the longest-surviving of all the Veku who were exiled to the Shadow Country, but he was also most likely the first Veku to push through the second layer of despair.

He proudly told Anduin that no other Viku who believed in Odin had ever succumbed to Hela, but he didn't realize that he, accustomed to the protection of the birdcage and the treatment of his own prisoners... It may well be the first to succumb.

The birdcage is protection, but it is also a weakening of will, for the Viku people, the most important blessing given to them by the world is the will, and only the Veku people, who admit their reasons to death, can persist in the extremely harsh environment of the Shadow Country, maybe Harvey is aware of this, maybe he doesn't realize it.

But losing the will to gamble, it can be said that in order to survive, in order to come up with the most perfect way, in order to retain a useful body, but it is undeniable that once this idea appears, it is very difficult to pursue a death without regrets.

No one was fooled by the Viku idiots, but Harvey, a rare smart guy among the Viku people, was almost fooled.

If it weren't for Anduin, Harvey's fate could have been predicted.

But now...

"Poof!"

After the last layer of the iron armor was completely rusted, the little prince felt the pain of the flesh and blood that Harvey had spoken, and he only had time to feel it before the sharp pain in his lungs caused him to fall to the dirty ground at once, and in full realization, the purification circle of the enchanted cloth strip had completely failed.

He inhaled the first breath of mist, and the holy energy in his body collided with the rules, and then he was seriously injured.

This is the Land of Shadows... A place where not only the sky and the earth, but also the air were madly poisoning anyone who dared to approach it.

A place where living beings shouldn't come.

"Whew... Call... Whew..."

Anduin struggled to shroud his holy light over his mouth and nose, but the speed at which the energy drained was too fast!

The ring of the Aegis of Naru was still on his finger, but now he didn't dare to imagine using it, and as Anduin lay on his back on the dirty ground, his eyes became blurred, a symptom of the fog invading his sockets, and he saw Varian, Valrera, Tifiin, and finally, a large bald head, painted with magic patterns.

Harvey!

This guy, his magic shield is dissipating as soon as he is there, this old mage of the Veku people is using his body to resist the corrosion of the Shadow Nation, he is in pain, this can be seen in his face, and those bloodshot eyes.

"Ahem... Stupid imp, you're going to kill both of us. ”

Harvey smiled hard, took Anduin in his arms, and struggled to get up, he glanced back at where he had come, it was too far from the birdcage, and they had been cornered.

The Viku mage rushed out in a random direction, and since he had decided to leave, let the last trace of weakness be thrown away.

"Wow~Wow"

The filthy waters were full of filth, a dark green ocean in which no other creatures could survive except Hela's twisted creatures, but when Harvey, stumbling with Anduin in his arms, pounced on the rotten plank that floated on the sea, they had a chance to survive for the time being.

The fog on the sea was still there, but much thinner, and though it still corroded flesh and blood, it at least made the two poor fellows feel better.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Harvey knelt on the plank, frantically gesturing his fingers towards the thick fog that was getting farther and farther away, it was rude, he shouted all kinds of rude voices in his mouth, but Anduin, who had just recovered his breath, was not much better, and the child also knelt on the ground, and kept praying in his hands.

The Little Prince is a sincere believer in the Light, but never before has he been so sincere.

"Hahaha!"

Harvey patted Anduin on the shoulder, "Stinky boy!

He was terrible now, the skin on his face was corroded and unpresentable, in fact, he really should be grateful to Anduin, if it weren't for the little prince's water and food to keep him energized, it is likely that neither of them would have survived.

But Rao so, they also used the last of their strength to escape, and under the thick black clouds and black lightning in the sky, Harvey lay on the disgusting plank that smelled of decay, he looked at Anduin, and asked in a low voice,

"Before, you said I lost, to put it bluntly. ”

The little prince gasped for breath, weakly supporting the Guardian of Truth and the Oath Keeper who had been carrying him behind him, even in the most difficult times, he never gave up his weapon, he said, "That birdcage, it's safe, it's the only safe shelter in this weird place, but if you find a shelter, will you still fight hard? That's the door that Hela gave you, old Harvey, you think you've outlived your stubborn kindred, but that's not luck, it's really not... That's just the illusion that a weakened will gives you, you can't live like a prisoner forever, and once you accept your fate, your will breaks. ”

Anduin glanced at the old Viku,

"You will be the first Odin Viku to succumb... You will be carved into the pillar of shame, this world has no soil for cowards to live, so we cannot be cowards. ”

"You call me a coward!

Harvey laughed and stretched out his fleshy hand, patted Anduin's shoulder, he sat up, and Anduin's back, one big and one small, endured the corrosion of the fog, looking at the endless sea of filth, quiet... It's hard to believe that they can feel quiet in such a desperate situation.

Seconds later, Anduin asked,

"Where are we going next?

Harvey pursed his lips, the action throbbing his wound, "That's right, it's just floating, no one I know can get here, and even if they do, no one can tell us where to go... Maybe we'll die here ... But it doesn't matter, I'm going to be anyway..."

"Smack!"

Before Harvey could finish his sentence, a black snake-like monster pounced out of the sewage behind them, and without the exhausted Harvey completely unresponsive, in Anduin's wide eyes, it bit his shoulder and streaked through the air in a brilliant trajectory, dragging it into the filthy sea.

The splash of fishy water splashed Anduin's face, and at the moment when he saw Harvey holding the face of the strange snake with a painful face, being entangled in the snake-like monster and dragged into the dark green darkness, Anduin subconsciously held the oath practitioner and the guardian of truth, he watched Harvey disappear into the darkness, he hesitated.

If you jump like this, you might die... And even if he jumps, he may not be able to save Harvey, he is exhausted, do you...

Unbeknownst to Anduin, the Oath Keeper and Keeper of Truth in his hand was radiating a faint glow, and seemed to be expecting it... Looking forward to...
