Chapter 256: Mutual Understanding
Givens came to Fort Mage, where there was now a stone shack on the rocky beach. Givens walked over and lifted the curtain in front of the shack made of unknown fabric.
Cassius the evil ape was inside, and he was sitting there, closing his eyes and recuperating.
"I heard you were looking for me, Cassius. Givens asked.
Cassius didn't open his eyes, but replied with a little displeasure, "I didn't expect you to sleep for so long." With that, he took out a teleporter-like magic device from his pocket and handed it to Jiwen.
"Is this a teleporter?"
"Yes, this thing will send you there. Cassius still had his eyes closed as he spoke.
"Where is this thing going to take me?"
"Go and meet those who want to see you. It's your business not to go, but that's the end of my mission anyway. ”
"Aren't you going with me. Given's surprise was that he had expected Cassius to escort him to his destination.
The muscles in Cassius' face twitched when he heard Given's question. He opened his eyes and replied in a very unwilling tone: "I am not qualified to go to that place, you can only go there by yourself." ”
Hearing Cassius' answer, Givens looked at the two delicate teleporters in his hand again, and his heart became more and more confused. The world didn't seem to be as free as he thought, and the worlds he hadn't yet touched seemed hierarchical.
Cassius asked a little puzzled as he watched as Givens didn't use the teleporter for a long time.
"Why don't you leave, do you want to decline the invitation?"
"I'd like to ask if there's anything I need to pay attention to. Before going out just now, Quintus reminded himself. Cassius knew the ins and outs of the group better than anyone else. If possible, he needs to get a little more information before dealing with it.
"You...... Is it a deal?" Cassius was a little surprised by Givin's blunt inquiry.
"If you want to call it a transaction, then count it as a transaction. Anyway, I feel like we have a lot of things to exchange for each other. ”
Cassius understood the meaning of Giving's words, and he felt that he could get a lot of things from Givan that he had always dreamed of. Like, getting stronger.
Countless years ago, he wanted to qualify for the teleporter and join those people. But he is not strong enough, so he can only bury his ambitions, become an intelligence dealer, or occasionally help those people run errands. However, the appearance of Givens rekindled his hope.
Because he has discovered that Jiwen is an outlier in this forbidden god space, he can become stronger. Not only that, but Birdman Quintus has also undergone a radical change in the last month. If this guy is willing to help, maybe he can cross that slim line and join those people.
After making up his mind, Cassius finally spoke.
"I can only tell you two things for the time being, first, someone doesn't like you. But people who don't like you aren't necessarily enemies. Second, someone likes you, but even if they like you, they may not be trustworthy. ”
Givens pondered Cassius's words, and then roughly understood what Cassius meant. There is only one reason why he can attract the attention of those mysterious people: he can destroy a summoned beast. And for those people, it's a force worth fearing or harnessing.
With Cassius' leaks, Given's heart is already largely clear about this meeting. After thanking Cassius, he finally activated the black teleporter.
A flash of white light flashed, and he came to another world.
In the first second he opened his eyes, Givens almost screamed because he almost thought he had left the forbidden god space.
In front of him was a beautiful valley full of trees and business. The forest is dotted with unique huts, and in the middle of the woods there is even a beautiful lake, where countless birds of all colors fly to and fro, chirping incessantly.
Soon, however, Givan slowly sensed the anomaly of the valley, the forest world was too perfect to feel a little unreal.
It's an illusion! a great illusion mixed with a real valley.
Givens walked towards the woods, then tried to detect the truth about the valley.
The rocks in the woods, the delicate paths, the lakes, and even some of the birds and trees are real, and the rest of the scenery is incomparably subtle magic.
Just as Jiwen was wandering in the beautiful scenery of the forest, an unfamiliar voice came from the woods.
"You're finally here, Given. ”
Jiwen followed the sound and noticed the face of an old man emerging from the trunk of a large tree.
"Who are you, please?" said Given, unsure of the identity of the tree man, cautiously probing.
"I am Tasan, the spirit of the ancient ironwood, and I am the master of this valley and one of those who want to see you. ”
"And who are you?" asked Given.
"A group of people who don't want to be disturbed. A new voice came from behind Given.
Jiwen looked back, and several strange summoned beasts appeared around him. A creature of energy that existed in pure light, two translucent evil spirits dressed like twins, were looking at themselves.
"I heard you were looking for me. Givens asked.
"Yes, we want to see who turned Bromu the Batman into that. He's a friend of ours, and if nothing else, he'll soon be qualified to enter the valley. The energy creature spoke in a very unkind tone with Jiwen.
But before Jiwen could speak, the two translucent humanoid spirits began to laugh in unison.
"Don't be so noble, Doruna. I know that Batman recently gave you a full box of high-grade magic items, which is enough for you to absorb for a while. ”
"Hmph, Diegara, don't tell me you didn't accept the magic hedron that Bromu gave you. ”
Doruna, the energy creature who had been exposed, immediately replied unceremoniously.
"Why not, but I'm not going to be mad at that crazy bat. Now that he's finished, the thing that was promised to him is just a write-off. The two spirits continued to speak their hearts in unison.
The two continued to taunt each other, completely ignoring Jivan. And Ji Wen, who was listening to the side, also understood one thing. Brommu paid tribute to the powerful men all the treasures he had stolen from him, in exchange for a qualification to advance.
While he was talking, several more powerful-looking summoned beast creatures appeared in and out of the valley woods, and they didn't pay attention to the conversation here, but some people glanced at Jiwen curiously, and some just passed by proudly, without moving their eyes at all.
While Gilvin was secretly surveying the passers-by, the old tree had moved silently to him, and then unceremoniously interrupted the conversation between Doruna and Diegara.
"Enough, I don't want to listen to your boring trivia. ”
The words of Tasan, the spirit of the ancient ironwood, carried a lot of weight, and the surroundings quickly fell silent.
Then Tasan asked about Jiwen again.
"Givan, can you tell me what exactly you did to Brom. ”
Sure enough, they were unusually concerned about the force that had destroyed Bromu, but Givan planned to keep it a secret as much as possible.
"It's just a punishment, because Bromu ruined my house and stole the treasure trove that someone else had deposited with me, which contained a whole chest of high-end magic items, as well as countless magic crystals and gold. ”
After listening to Jiwen's words, Doruna and Diegara's faces slowly turned blue, and they knew the purpose of Jiwen's deliberate words in the second half of the sentence. This weak-looking guy is actually reminding them that Brom's tribute is all stolen goods.
"It's a shame that you don't plan to tell the truth. But Giwen, I warn you. Uncontrolled forces are dangerous for visitors to this valley. ”
Tasanna's emotionless old voice seemed to warn Given. For these powerful creatures, there was no danger in the forbidden god space. But what happened to Bromu gave them a glimpse of possibility. They don't want to be like Brom.
"Why all this nonsense, Tassan. This guy is not qualified to stand here and talk to us. To know the answer, just one method is enough. ”
Doruna, the energy creature, roared impatiently. Before his words could be heard, his light-like body had already emitted a dazzling pillar of light, shooting straight at Jiwen.
But since Jiwen came out, he has long been ready to fight in this valley.
He took out the Mirror Shadow and Burning Spirit at the first moment, and then blocked the shield in front of him. The terrifying pillar of light was bounced off by the mirror, and then shot straight into Doruna's body, burning a large hole in the spine of light. This unexpected attack caused Doruna to scream.
At the same time, Jiwen's body swelled sharply, and the shield "Mirror Shadow" was sharply absorbing his life force, and this damage caused the long sword "Burning Spirit" to burst out fiercely.
Given, who had already turned into a flame beast, crossed the distance between him and Doruna in an instant, and slashed the burning spirit in his hand towards Doruna's body.
Doruna's light vertebrae shattered instantly, and his energy body turned into countless points of light, and then fled into the depths of the woods.
Givens didn't chase after him, because he knew that this encounter was just a mutual temptation. Once you know each other well enough, you can have a deeper conversation.
Under the nervous gaze of Tasan and Diegara, Jiwen released the power of the Burning Spirit, and then put away the mirror shadow as well. This fight was only for a short moment, and the mirror shadow did not absorb much vitality, and he could afford it for the time being. And his opponent also took this opportunity to reintegrate his body in the depths of the woods, but this time the light vertebrae formed were shattered, and the light was extremely dim. Even his voice became extremely weak.
"Who the hell are you. ”
"I'm Given. After answering Doruna, Givens turned to Tassan, "I guess you're not here to fight." ”
Givens had already shown enough strength, at least in the ten seconds that Burning Spirit and Mirror Shadow could work together, he could easily defeat these opponents in front of him. At the same time, Given's sincerity was also shown enough, at least he did not kill Doruna, who was not inferior.
Now it's the turn of their opponents to decide.
