"Evie...... Where should we go?"

Evie in front of her was still holding her hand and walking forward.

Those hands were frighteningly cold.

From the first time Cain walked out of the tavern, Evie seemed to be a different person, not talking or doing anything else, just walking.

Although Ali, who cultivated Infinite Kendo, did not dare to say how powerful she was, she was confident that she was better than Evie, who specialized in spells in front of her.

But now, as if she was being dragged by a train, she couldn't stop.

No, perhaps, she can't afford to get out of it.

The road in front of me is getting stranger and stranger, and the people around are getting sparse and sparse.

The Ionians have always been superstitious about legends such as evil spirits, and Ali is sure that Evie must be under the control of something.

"Don't be cranky, little girl......"

At this moment, a voice like a beast sounded in Ali's ears, and Ali wanted to turn her head, but found that her neck seemed to freeze and she couldn't make any movement.

By the dusty glass window, Ali could faintly see a purple mist swirling over her shoulder.

It was like a wolf.

But the pedestrians around him turned a blind eye to this scene.

"You...... Who are you?"

"Who am I......? It's a bit of an inaccuracy and I want you to ask, 'Who are you?' because we're both individuals and wholes, and you humans can call me or the two of us...... Qianjue. ”

Qianjue!

Hearing this, Ali only felt a chill rush from the hand held by Evie, all the way to the top of her head.

Death...... Dragging me along?

In his ear, is the wolf who will tear people cruelly?

"You're talking too much, ...... wolf"

An ethereal voice came from Evie's mouth in front of her, and it didn't rise and fall, it sounded terrifying.

"Sorry...... I don't have much time to talk to humans. ”

"That'...... So where are we going?"

Ali said with a little trembling.

"Oh, it's not where we want to take you, it's the consciousness of this girl's body that won't let me go, so I can only take you with me. ”

Woowoo......

Hearing this, Ali's heart was filled with bitterness.

It seems that Evie really remembers the phrase 'stay together' clearly.

Just as Ali's mind was in turmoil, Evie suddenly stopped.

Ali looked at her, and in front of her was a long staircase leading to a building built on a cliff, and at the top of the building, on the edge of the highest cliff in Bilgewater, a statue of an animal that looked like an octopus was placed on it, which looked rather strange.

"In a moment, I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

The wolf spirit on the side said.

"You can call it Naga Kaboros, or Lady Beard, and if you say 'octopus-like creatures' in front of her oracle, I guarantee you'll die a terrible death. ”

"You...... Can you hear me?"

"Of course, not the slightest action in the heart of a mortal can hide from me. ”

"Wolf, I don't remember you being so helpful. ”

"I'm sorry sheep, I said I rarely talk to people, and sometimes I really wish they could say a few more words before I bite them to death. ”

"Well, I'll listen to their last words and ask for your opinion before I make a move next time, but for now, you just shut up. ”

"Woo......"

With a whimper of dissatisfaction, the wolf spirit on the side stopped talking.

And Evie also 'jumped' up the steep stairs at an astonishing speed.

Although the temple of Naga Kapolos is thunderous in Bilgewater, not many people want to actually visit here, most of them are frescoes of ancient ruins, the walls are lit with flames to illuminate the surroundings, and the uneven rocks have been flattened with something, looking like the marble of Demacia.

And at the front, there is a small door, inside which is a spiral staircase leading to the upper floor.

"There's a trial going on up there...... If there's nothing to do, please go back. ”

Carve...... The statue speaks!

Ali looked at the statue beside her that suddenly spoke, and her heart was terrified.

But then, she realized that what she saw was not a statue, but a motionless, sturdy woman.

"I'm here to speak with Naga Kaporos, oracle. ”

Evie...... No, or Qian Jue said.

"If everyone wants to talk to Naga Kaboros, then even the gods will get tired of it......"

Sou!

A white light shot out of Evie's body, and then, a simple and mysterious circular magic array rose from the small temple, and at the same time, Evie began to fall backwards, and a white figure jumped out of her body.

Ali's body suddenly regained control, and she stepped forward to support Evie, who had fallen down.

When she looked up, she saw a short, white creature with a bow and arrow standing in the center of the magic circle, confronting the sturdy woman in front of her.

"Aloy...... This is a conversation between the gods, and you are just a messenger. ”

"I'm sorry, but anyone who wants to talk to Naga Kaporos has to get its approval, which is...... Trials. ”

As he spoke, Aloy slammed the jar in his hand to the ground, and translucent, green tentacles also appeared around it, and the fine fibrous tissue almost covered Qianjue's magic array, but with a roar from the wolf spirit, those tentacles shrank back and disappeared.

At the same time, Aloy's brow furrowed.

"The God of Death...... This is not your territory, put away your tricks, otherwise it will be a provocation to Naga Kaporos. ”

"No...... Not anymore. ”

As he spoke, Yang Ling took out the delicate bow and arrow, turned around suddenly, and shot at Ali.

Poof!

The arrow passed through Ali's chest, and Ali didn't even react.

But then, she realized something was wrong.

Myself...... Alive.

"The place where Qianjue rests is the place where death rests, and no one here will die...... No one can have it. ”

Qian Jue said, turned around, and stroked the mural on the wall.

"Recorded in ancient laws?"

Aloy asked.

"Of course. ”

This...... Who are these two people?

Ali was surprised and tried Evie's snort, but it was okay...... It's faint, but it's steady.

"In short, this is a very important matter, it is related to my function and the function of Naga Kaboros, and if you delay any longer, you will have a share of the bitter fruit. ”

Qian Jue said.

"Only those who have passed the trial are qualified to talk to Naga Kaporos, and I also want to be accommodating, but alas, this is also written on the ancient law. “

Aloy said with a shrug.

"You know, the law can't be violated. ”

"In that case, you may need me to build a bridge in the middle. ”

Familiar sounds.
