"Jakes!" Anne called Dumb's name worriedly. At this time, Dumb was lying on a stretcher and was carried forward by two holy angels.

"This guy is really getting weaker. I'm curious about what makes Dumb what he is now. Mr. Hat has experienced too many things, and at this time, looking at Dumb's uncomfortable appearance, he is still speaking calmly.

"Whew, whew!" the holy angels gasped, and they could only say that they were in a better state than Dumb, but they were obviously not much stronger.

"That thing must be around here!" The mountain in front of me made people feel a little abnormal.

In the distance, an old man in a white robe flashed by, and Mr. Hat's sharp eyes saw it, telling all the holy angels to hurry up.

The old man flashed left and right, walked to a platform on the mountain, and disappeared.

The holy angels carried Dumb to the platform and looked around at the scenery.

I saw a long stone slab carved with strange magic runes, and in the middle was a strange disc surrounded by twelve symbols of different shapes like clocks. In the middle of the disc, four small circles are dotted, as if conveying something.

"Oh, it's been so long, I've almost forgotten something!" said Mr. Hat, seeing the disc.

"When the world was divided, a ban was set up in order to explicitly prohibit elves from entering the human world. Under the effect of that prohibition, the elves entered the human world, and without the permission granted by the Scepter of the Underworld, the elves' vitality would be weakened. And the angels, as the caretakers of the elves, are also subject to this prohibition. It seems that the fluffy head seems to know about this, and deliberately uses the scepter of the Hades to strengthen the restrictions of the ban on the angels. If my feeling is correct, it was Dumb who carried this ban for you angels, otherwise you would probably not be able to move by now. ”

"As the hat boss said, it is. We are able to act now, and we have indeed gained strength from the heirs of the underworld. An angel on the side followed Mr. Hat's words.

"The biggest problem now is that the scepter of the Lord of Hades is not in our hands, but in the hands of the enemy. They will certainly only use the Scepter of the Lord of Hades from a direction that is not good for us. So we had to break this ban in other ways. Mr. Hat stopped abruptly at this point, as if in thought.

"Actually, there is one more thing that can solve this problem, but no one knows where that thing is hidden. As Mr. Hat spoke, Dumb suddenly sat up, trying all his strength to get to the disc.

When the holy angels saw this, they hurried to help him.

The hobbled dumb looked at the disc, his breath weakly "babbling", and with the sound of his chanting, a golden light emanated from the disc. Slowly a golden circle of light was reflected in the air, and the circle of light slowly became larger and shone on the ground, and it seemed that it was about to turn into a magic array, and suddenly the white-bearded old man who had disappeared before appeared out of nowhere, stepped on the magic circle with his foot, and the magic circle disappeared without a trace.

"I'm trying to steal! this is not the place for you. As the white-bearded old man spoke, Anne couldn't help but let out a "Huh?"

It turned out that the old man was the same painter who appeared in the sea of souls before.

"Old uncle, we're not bad people, and we're not here to steal. Anne said politely, "You see, these are not ordinary human beings, they are all angels. ”

"What is so great about angels. To me, they are nothing more than birdmen with wings. The old man replied rudely.

Fortunately, none of these angels were short-tempered, and when they heard the old man's words, none of them dragged him aside and beat him.

"Old man, you're all old, so don't be so angry. You are the angel who guards the ring of the underworld, how to test us, you can just say it. "Mr. Hat is more experienced, and guesses the reason why the old man appeared at this time.

"The ring of the underworld is an artifact, and it is natural to give it to a virtuous and wise person. As he spoke, the old man took out the drawing board he had before out of thin air in front of him, and then with a stroke of his hand, a dozen pieces of paper flew out and landed in front of everyone.

"I'll come up with the question here, and you guys will think of the answer for yourselves, and then write the answer on this piece of paper. As he spoke, the old man drew a chair from the drawing board in front of him, and sat down there.

Closing his eyes, the old man seemed to be thinking, and after a few seconds, the old man opened his eyes and said leisurely: "What do you want to do most in your life?"

"Huh?!" Anne paused for a moment, thinking carefully. "Or maybe what I want to do the most is to be able to continue making bread for everyone in that bakery in the town, inheriting my grandfather's craftsmanship. With that in mind, Anne wrote down the answer on paper.

Next to him, Dumb, although a little weak, still wrote a bunch of strange symbols.

Anne glanced at Dumb and found that Xiaolong didn't know when he ran out, and at this time he was also lying next to Dumb's white paper, his eyes wide open, as if he was making an idea for Dumb.

After a while, the old man smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will give you questions to test your wisdom." ”

As he spoke, the old man took out the seven small bottles of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple from the drawing board in front of him, and these small bottles were of different shapes and placed there in order.

"These seven bottles contain different liquids, one is a potion that can help you regain your strength, two are non-toxic drinks, and four are extremely poisonous. I'm going to tell you a few things, and you'll have to guess for yourself which potion is good for your health, and then drink it. The first person to find the potion is eligible to participate in the next trial. Okay, please listen to the first condition, both sides of the potion are poison, young man, I haven't finished the condition, you start to rush to answer, it's a bit too much!"

I saw Dumb pick up the yellow bottle of drink, drink it all, and then seem to have regained his strength and walked down from the stretcher.

"Hey, I'm protesting, it's not fair. How can you grab the answer question and start grabbing it before you finish speaking, you have a shady scene here, it's not fair!" Mr. Hat said solemnly.

"The protest is ineffective! This little brother is very intelligent, although you did successfully pass the level just now, but the next step is not so easy. The white-bearded old man smiled strangely at this time, and took out a chessboard from the drawing board in front of him.

"Next is a game, which is difficult to say and easy to say. The old man said as he placed the chessboard in front of him, which was suspended in the air, and each of its pieces roared like a living creature.

"This game of chess is like two armies against each other, and only those who see the moves farther than the opponent can win. Come on, guy, let's go to the next game, if you win, I'll give you something, if you lose, you can drink two more bottles of drinks from the few bottles of drinks that were placed here just now, how about it?" Dumb looked at the old man with a blank gaze, noncommittal.

The old man didn't care so much and started playing chess directly. It's like the dumb guy here doesn't know how to get down and doesn't think, the old man just got off the line, and he immediately put the son down. The old man sometimes has to think about it and look at the chess path. But Dumb went down too fast, and the old man didn't seem to want to lose too much to Dumb in speed, so he slowly got faster. After a while, there were still three chess pieces left on the chessboard, and the old man only had one left.

"It's not fun, it's really boring to play chess with you. You don't know how to play chess at all, and you play so fast. It's not interesting, I won't play with you anymore. The old man was displeased, and the chessboard disappeared without a trace.

"This thing is for you, you can keep it and play with it!" the old man handed over two gray figurines, and then the man waved his sleeves, ran as fast as he could, and disappeared without a trace.

"This old man is really, if he loses, he loses, and he still refuses to admit it. Dumb, what the hell did he give you?" Mr. Dumb held up the two gray figurines, and the shape of a dragon and a peacock came into view.

"It turns out that this old man is not the guardian of the Ring of the Underworld, and he has been making trouble here for a long time, and he doesn't know what he wants to do. Mr. Hat was speechless, and the little dragon climbed onto Dumb's shoulder and let out a "giggle" laugh.

Dumb shrugged helplessly and walked over to the stone slab from before.

The pattern in the disc on the slate changed at this time, and there were originally four small circles in the middle, but now only one remains. The twelve figures that surround the disc like clockwork scales now become ten.

"Babble!" Dumb recited a spell in ancient magic, and a circle of light flew out of the disc like before, growing larger and larger, transforming into a magic circle.

In the magic array, there are ten voids that attract people's attention.

"Holy Angels, stand in these hollows. To activate this magic array, you need your strength. As soon as the hat boss spoke, the angels obediently carried out the order.

"Hat Boss, what's going on with this circle, why do we feel weird? "After the holy angels entered the magic array, the golden light was magnificent.

The sound of "Boom, Boom, Boom" kept coming, and the angels turned into rays of light and entered the circle of light in the sky. Finally, the aperture disappeared, and a golden ring surrounded by diamonds fell from the sky and rested in Dumb's palm.

"You can't be wrong that this is the ring of the Underworld. But what about the holy angels, why are they gone?" Mr. Hat's mind was full of questions.

On the side, Dumb ignored these things, picked up the golden ring, and put it on the middle finger of his left hand.

Then, Dumb sat on the ground, picked up the two figurines that the white-bearded old man had given him, and studied them.
