Chapter 40: Welcoming the Messenger
The Light Gate is not far away, it is so close to us, but we can't go through it yet, we have to confirm it.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Saphiz commanded. "Everyone took out the items they could discard, and threw them towards the Light Gate and on the ground to see what was going on."
Everyone obeyed Saphis's orders, and all took out the items that could be discarded from their spatial rings and threw them there together.
Various objects were thrown there, and as a result, nothing appeared, very calm, and there was nothing unusual at all. It seems to indicate that there is no danger here, so you should hurry up.
When we saw that there was no danger and found that there should be no danger there, we should be allowed to pass, so I suggested to Saphis. "Sapphis, I don't think there should be any dangerous traps there, we can get there."
Saphiss glanced at the door of light again, frowned and thought for a moment, but did not come up with anything, and agreed. "Okay. Since Your Highness thinks it's okay, let's go over. It is better to leave here as soon as possible, pass the other trials, reach the final place, and know the whole truth of this trial. ”
"Hmm!" I agree with Saphis's words, and indeed this sudden appearance of the trial space is very concerning. It's really interesting what the trial is for, what the truth is, and what will happen when you finally complete all the trials.
Now that we've decided, we'll head to the Gate of Light.
Walk very slowly, the exit is just ahead, there is no need to run past.
I walked with Saphis, slowly overtaken by the others, and it seemed that they still wanted to get out of here quickly, after all, this place was full of sad things for them. I'm not one of them, after all, it's a companion who comes in together, and everyone will do that.
Just as the person walking in the front was less than 1 meter away from the light gate, a blue light net suddenly appeared, occupying the entire passage.
We were startled by the sudden appearance of the blue light network, but the person in front did not stop and continued to walk over. On the other side of the light network, he turned around slowly, his expression was very strange, his eyes looked extremely surprised, he didn't know what Lu Dao wanted to say, he just opened his mouth wide and didn't say a word.
Seeing this, I immediately asked him out loud. "What's wrong with you? Anything is wrong? ”
He didn't respond to my questioning. He just stopped in place, and his body seemed stiff, like a corpse.
Just as I was about to ask again, his body suddenly collapsed and scattered into corpse pieces, no blood flowed out, as if all had evaporated in an instant.
Faced with an exit less than 1 meter away, we couldn't cross the optical network at all, so we could only stay here, looking at the exit, there was nothing we could do.
Seeing this terrible situation, I grabbed my hair and desperately tried to find a way. This is the most dangerous trap we have encountered so far, and how to get through it safely.
When Saphiss saw me like this, she immediately comforted me. "Your Highness, don't do this, there will definitely be a way."
I looked up at Saphis, and saw his encouraging expression, as if he had grasped something at once, and searched for it with all his might.
The blue light net, the blue one, by the way, the one was blue too. Pulling out the blue-purple gem, I said to Sapphis. "Saffis, we still have hope."
When Saphiss saw the blue-purple gem in my hand, he immediately recalled the crisis and said excitedly. "Great, let's try it soon."
"It's good."
After saying that, I immediately walked to the light net with the blue-purple gem. Suddenly, a blue-purple glow emanated from the gem in my hand and shone on the light web, causing it to distort it.
The irradiated area slowly taper until it disappears completely, creating a hole for a person to pass through.
When I saw that there was a way out, I immediately shouted at everyone. "Hurry up and get in, I don't know how long this gem will last, so hurry up."
Hearing my shout, everyone passed through one by one, according to the instructions of Saphis. By the time Sarphiss had passed, I was the only one left. At this moment, suddenly the blue-purple light became dim, as if it could disappear at any time.
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Saphiss hurriedly shouted at me. "Your Highness, come here."
I ran into the cave at once, and at the same time the hole closed again, and I was almost cut into pieces, which was really dangerous.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the gem in his hand. At this time, the gem was full of cracks, and just then it shattered and turned into a pile of powder.
Seeing the gems turned into a pile of powder, I sighed, but said regretfully. "It's a shame, this gem should be very precious. I'm glad I have this gem, otherwise I really don't know how to get over. ”
"Hmm!" Saphiss listened to my words and said with the same emotion. "It's a pity, but it's already like this, Your Highness shouldn't care too much. The exit is here, let's go inside. ”
"Okay, let's go to the next venue together."
So far, there are only 9 people alive, and everyone has entered the Light Gate one by one, and only Saphiss is left in the end. He turned around, gathered up the man's belongings, and then turned and entered the light gate.
Entering the light gate, the scene changed in an instant, and I came to a stone room.
Everyone was puzzled at this time, this was a completely closed space, there was nothing in it, and they didn't know what they were doing here. Where is the next place of trial to be tested, and how long will you stay here? All of this made us very confused and confused, and we were all waiting for someone to come out and explain that they were coming here.
I walked up to Saphis, trying to discuss with him, but just as I was about to speak, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the center of the stone room. He looked around, then made a welcoming gesture and said. "Congratulations on making it through the maze and coming here, showing that you can move on to the next trial." After a slight pause, he continued. "First of all, I would like to introduce myself, Normanx Norrick, to greet the messenger in the next place of trials. There are 9 of you in total, and judging by your specific situation, you will be going through the second difficulty trial. Okay, get ready. I'll help you get back to your best for the trial. ”
As soon as Normanx finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a blue light enveloped us at once. This time was the same as the time at the temple, but in a few moments, everyone was back to their full state, and they suddenly recovered from their excessive nervousness.
The blue light faded and Normanks announced to us. "Now that you're all back to your best, I'll send you to the third venue right away."
"Wait." Just as I was about to start sending us there, I suddenly spoke and interrupted him. "Normanx, can I ask you some questions?"
Normanx was interrupted by me. didn't get angry, but said very casually. "Yes, as long as I answered it, I can tell you." After a sudden pause, he continued. "However, if it's beyond the scope of what I've told you, that's not going to work, so think about it before asking. Okay, excuse me. ”
"Hmm." After thinking for a moment, I asked the first question. "According to the words of that ninth star god, we are the ninth batch, so have the first eight batches been here?"
Normanes didn't have any time to wait to think about it, and answered my question right away. "The first eight groups of people have been here, and they have all passed the trial. Well, you should have all passed the third test by now, and are waiting for you in the fourth venue. The fourth test requires all of you to come together, and if you fail the third test, then the fourth test will be held in eight groups of them. ”
"I see." I was pleased with Normanx's answer and asked a second question. "Can you tell us what the so-called Level 2 difficulty is, and whether there are other difficulties?"
"Oh." Marx replied to my question as if he had known it for a long time. "Level 2 is the level of trial you will be playing, and there are nine levels in total. There are only 9 of you, and based on your strength analysis, you have come to the conclusion that it is level two. The highest level is level nine, so your level two is still relatively easy. It's not that difficult, but it's still very difficult for you. ”
"What?" I was shocked by Normanx's answer, which was only one level higher than the worst. "What about the other eight batches of people, what is the difficulty of them."
"Huh." Normanx smiled and replied. "You don't have to care so much, they are them, you are you. Since you want to know the Tao so much. Then I'll tell you. He exhaled and continued. The first batch of people, a total of 36 of them, with five levels of difficulty; The second group of people, a total of 23 people, level 4 difficulty; the third group of people, a total of 18 of them, level 3 difficulty; The fourth group of people, a total of 25 people, level 4 difficulty; The fifth group of people, a total of 32 of them, level 5 difficulty; The sixth group of people, a total of 52 people, level 7 difficulty; The seventh group of people, a total of 47 people, level 6 difficulty; The eighth group. There are 30 of them in total, and there are five levels of difficulty. ”
"Oh. I see, it's related to the number of people. ”
After explaining the specific situation of the first eight groups of people, I moved on to the third question. "The fourth test has to be done by everyone, and after it is completed, it will be able to finally end the trial."
Normanx was very curious about me, and looked at me more, and no one in front of me thought I would ask a third question, thinking that I was a very interesting person.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about things." Normanx saw that I had been looking at me, waiting for an answer, and immediately replied. "Of course not, the fourth test is to select the people who will go through the final test. The trial is not over until the final fifth test is completed. ”
Listening to Normanx's answer, I lowered my head and muttered to myself. "There is actually the fifth one after the most Lu, we are only 9 people here, I don't know what will happen to the Dao. Oh, it's useless to think about it now, wait until you pass the third test. ”
With that in mind, I moved on to the most difficult question. "I want to know who you are? Why do you have to go through this trial? What do you want to get here? ”
"Huh!" Normanx was getting more and more interested in me, and replied with a smile. "Who we are, what we are trying to set up this trial space, and what our purpose is, I can't tell you yet. Now is not the time, as long as you can reach the final place of trial, you will know it all. ”
I don't know what to do yet, and I'm very helpless about it. It seems that there must be a huge secret hidden here, and I must know the truth, and I told myself so in my heart.
