Act 415. Q&A with Hellesen
"Are you...... Phyllis's maid? ”
Reiner quickly remembered the identity of the other party, and in addition to doubts, he still did not let his guard down.
Because he had seen the other party pull out hundreds of spears and cannons from the void and kill the rampaging Chaos Serpent cadres in one blow, and then escape under the noses of high-level mages, Reiner couldn't see the exact principle of her spells.
It's just that at present, it seems that she is the same as Reiner, because of the characteristics of the Dead Realm, she can't use magic, and she is not even as good as Reiner, who has a strong body.
"Definitely, you can call me Halleyson."
The maid, Halleyson was as calm as ever, and even if she maintained such an awkward posture, she was still calm.
"Why are you here, Phyllis?"
Reiner continued to ask, it had been several months since Aunt Selia's mansion had been separated, and in addition to hearing the news of the frustration of the second brother Hailar's business, the other eldest brother Raven and sister Phyllis had no news and did not know where they were wandering, but now, since Halleyson appeared here, it meant that Phyllis should not be too far away.
"I'm here for the same reason as you, Master Reiner, we're all imprisoned in the claustrophobic space."
Halleyson replied, she didn't seem to be hiding anything from Reiner.
"Claustrophobia?"
Reiner glanced around, this place should be a dead realm with thin magic, how could it have a claustrophobic name?
"Certainly, claustrophobic space is a prison of time and space, used to imprison the most heinous criminals during the ancient Magic Empire."
Halleyson's explanation made Reiner think a little, this place is indeed very much like a prison, and the confusion just now has been answered a little, and it also makes Reiner relax his guard a little.
As for the entrance and exit of the so-called claustrophobic space, Reiner thinks that it is inseparable from the special black pillar, but he doesn't know what the situation of the other lords is now, whether it is only Reiner who is trapped, or everyone is trapped, and the figure that appeared at the end, the familiarity in it makes Reiner unable to let go, all these are unstable elements.
"Back to the original question, what are you doing here, this should be the central area of a ruin somewhere, do you have anything to do with things outside the ruins?"
Reiner was vague in order to paraphrase Halleyson's words.
He didn't stop being defended just because Halleyson was answering all questions, and still thought that Halleyson might be lying.
"Mistress Phyllis and I went into the ruins to explore, and saw a special black pillar, which triggered the trap and was imprisoned here, and I was separated from Mistress Phyllis and are looking for her whereabouts."
Halleyson replied fifteen-ten, not shying away from anything.
"The storm outside the ruins should be a means of our companions, and he has created a barrier to prevent others from probing further."
"Your companions?"
Reiner frowned slightly and continued to ask.
"Definitely, Lato. Rex, he created that storm. ”
Hearing this name, Reiner recalled it for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that this was none other than a member of the Chaos Serpent who was wanted by the entire continent, codenamed "Greed".
In the information that Reiner obtained, this was a six-ring mage, but what he saw outside just now was far beyond the control of a six-ring mage, either Rato was given an opportunity to be promoted to a high rank during his wanted period, or he received some gifts as a cadre of the Chaos Serpent.
The Serpent of Chaos has many legacies from ancient magical empires, such as the storage bag that connects to the unstable half-plane that is now Reiner's possession, so it is possible to give a six-ring mage a level of strength.
Even Reiner speculated that the Black Mist Storm and the behemoth in it might be the treasure that Lato had obtained in the Serpent of Chaos.
"So this Lato is also separated from you?"
Reiner asked, it seemed that this claustrophobic space was really not refused, but he didn't expect his sister Phyllis to get mixed up with the Chaos Serpent, which surprised him a little.
"Definitely."
Halleyson replied, but he didn't know if it was Reiner's delusion, and he felt a little ripple in the cold maid's voice.
"What are you looking for in this ruin?"
Reiner pressed his doubts to the bottom of his heart and continued to ask, I have to say that the communication with Halleyson was quite pleasant, Reiner didn't need to think too much, just say what he wanted to know.
However, Reiner is not very sure about this question, after all, it is impossible for normal people to say their purpose so casually, even if Halleyson seems to know everything, he should not be so careless.
"Find a box, Master Reiner, this box contains the power to defeat the current world."
Halleyson's answer silenced Reiner.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, if there really is such a box that can destroy the entire world, then he feels that there should not be any records, after all, the experiment alone may leave many traces.
So he prefers to understand it as something else.
"Is this box in a confined space?"
Since this is a prison of the past, maybe some powerful mages will leave some information, or maybe this box is the result of these mages, Reiner guesses, and even maybe, this box is just a blueprint, with theoretical power, but has not yet been made.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was this possibility, in the prison, the mages could not exert their strength, but their wisdom was not compromised in the slightest, and many prisoners combined, although they could not break through the prison, they could design some special spells, and the Chaos Serpent came only after obtaining relevant information.
As for the reason why his sister appeared here, he could only ask the maid under Reiner.
"Phyllis, why did she ...... Well? What happened to you? ”
Reiner was about to inquire about his sister's information, but he felt that the maid under him was weakening sharply, and the body temperature coming through his clothes was like ice, which was terrifying.
Reiner let go of the other man's hand, and Reiner ordered him to turn around, only to see that Halleyson's face was pale, and a pair of pupils seemed to have lost their light, and quickly dimmed.
"Magic...... Insufficient, about to ...... Stop ......"
Her words were no longer unwavering, but trembling and becoming smaller, and finally indiscerning.
"What's the situation?"
Reiner summoned his magic with some difficulty, he grabbed the opponent's wrist, and the slightest bit of magic probed into it, checking the opponent's physical condition.
However, at this time, Reiner suddenly found out.
The girl in her arms is not a human being!
