Greeted by the old count and the three Titus brothers, Don Quixote and Belia returned, and as they returned, a misty mist enveloped them, completely cutting them off from the view of Gadoth.

Gaudus looked at Don Quixote and Belea, who had been lost in the illusion, shook his head, sighed, and then took the hands of Peacock and Spider and reminded, "See them?" Be sure to keep your mind and don't lose your way. ”

But then, the mist once again revealed a gap, and in the middle of the gap was a cobweb that seemed to be woven with silver wire.

Two huge dreamweaver demons climbed along this beautiful spider web, their beautiful compound eyes like purple gems constantly flickering, staring at Spider Ji, their hideous mouthparts constantly moving. They may seem to be a male and a female, or perhaps they are a couple.

"Dad? Mom? Spider looked at the pair of dreamweaver spiders, her eyes showing uncontrollable surprise and joy. She reached out and gently touched the anterior limbs of her parents, and then said excitedly, "This touch... It's them! ”

Spider then climbed onto the webs and snuggled up with her parents.

Gaudos watched this scene and reminded him through the soul contract, "It's just an illusion, not a reality, don't fall for the withered dryads." ”

Spider then glanced back at Gao Duos and said, "They are not illusions, but Mom and Dad. ”

As she spoke, the fog quickly enveloped her, blocking out the view of Gauldoth from looking at Spider.

Looking at the mist in front of him, Gadoth's mood was also dark. Perhaps in this world, the truly powerful power is not the so-called magic combat skills, bloodline abilities, and thousands of troops, but the ability to... Manipulating people's hearts.

At this time, the peacock beside him held his hand tighter.

Gao Duo looked at the peacock, and the peacock also looked back at him, and said with a smile, "Do you think I will lose my heart like them?" ”

Gaudus was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know. ”

Peacock said, "I probably understand the means of the withered dryad, that is, to weave a most direct and most desirable illusion, so that people's dreams can be easily realized, so that the goal can sink into it." ”

"For example, Belia's biggest dream is to be a family harmony."

"For example, Don Quixote's greatest desire is friendship, conquest, and fighting."

"For example, Spider's biggest need is actually family affection."

Gao Duos nodded and said, "Yes, these needs, desires, and dreams are actually weaknesses in their hearts, and this weakness can be even more fatal than physical weaknesses. ”

Peacock nodded and asked with a smile, "Do you think I will get lost in this illusion?" ”

Gaudos shook his head and said, "I don't know, but soon, we'll know the result." ”

The peacock smiled again and nodded.

The fog lifted again, revealing a gap, and a new illusion was woven back together. This time, the sight was one dead tree after another, the corpse of a forest mammoth sucked into a dry corpse, the remains of a large number of dead trees guarding the dryads, and the dominant skeletons, dead beasts, and secondary demons that wandered around.

The illusion created this time is the place where the group stayed before the illusion appeared, and all the details are correct, that's all.

"How so?" Gao Duos looked at this scene and was a little puzzled, this illusion did not meet any expectations in his heart, so it should be tailor-made for peacocks, but why was it so simple? Is this what Peacock expects now?

Or perhaps, this is not an illusion, but the fog has dissipated, the illusion has disappeared, and the real world has been represented?

Peacock looked at the scene in front of him and said lightly: "Actually, I don't have any grand ideals, the only thing I want to do well is the things in front of me." ”

Do what's in front of you?

Gaudus understood.

What appeared in front of me was still an illusion constructed by the withered dryads.

Unlike Belea, Don Quixote, and Spider, what they longed for, whether it was family harmony, friendship, conquest, fighting, or family affection, was something that had passed away and could no longer be obtained. Therefore, the illusions woven against them were the scenes they expected, and these scenes were naturally extremely foreign to Gaudus.

However, Peacock is different, she gives Gao Duos the impression of being sensible, calm, and pragmatic, she never regrets what she has done, and she does not take things as regrets, she just wants to do well now.

If grasping the present is her inner expectation, then what is presented in front of her should be this scene.

At this moment, a "Gaudus" slowly walked over from a distance.

Yes, you heard it right, Gaudus saw his alter self walking towards him.

This, is also an illusion woven according to the peacock's heart?

The "Gaudus" walked up to the peacock and said with a smile, "Peacock, there are still two days left before the hunt is over, and we should go." ”

Gao Duos looked at this guy coldly, and did not speak, if I guessed correctly, this "Gao Duos" is also an illusion woven by the withered tree spirits.

For a moment, Gaudus wanted to cast a spell and kill this "Gadoth", after all, it was just an illusion based on the peacock's inner world.

But soon, he gave up on the idea for the time being.

In the heart of the peacock, what should he be like?

He wanted to know the answer.

"Gauldos" continued: "Peacock, it's time for us to go. ”

A cloud of mist gradually shrouded it, and the peacock's eyes showed a look of confusion, and this confusion quickly expanded, gradually filling the peacock's eyes.

It seems that the illusion has taken effect.

She looked at the fake Gadorth and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Gauldos" replied with a smile: "I am Gauldos, don't you remember me?" ”

She looked at the real Gauldos and asked, "You're Gados too, aren't you?" ”

Gaudos nodded.

The peacock lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then asked "Gao Duosi", "Are you sure you are going to leave now?" ”

"Gauldos" nodded and said, "Time is of the essence, and we must step up the hunt." ”

"And what about Spider, Belea, and Don Quixote? Leave them alone? ”

"It's not that I don't care, but Bellia has the protection of Don Quixote, and Spider has the ability to protect herself, and what we have to do now is to do the right thing in front of us, which is hunting."

When the peacock heard this, he smiled slightly, nodded, and then asked Gao Duosi, "What about you?" ”

Without hesitation, Gaudus replied, "I choose to wait, to wait for Spider, Belea, Don Quixote, for them to return. ”

"Why do you have to wait for them to come back?"

"Because they are my partners, I am responsible for them."

The peacock nodded again, then turned his head and said to "Gao Duosi", "I'm sorry, you're fake. ”

With that, she pulled out the moon blade and aimed it at the top of the head of "Gadoth".

"Gauldos" sighed, "Peacock, don't aim your knife at your friend. ”

Peacock smiled, "As much as I'd love to have Gaudus take me alone right now and continue his career, but... Gaudus would not abandon anyone. ”

"Gaudus" had something to argue, but Peacock didn't hesitate to slash him to death.

The Moonblade fell on the top of the head of "Gadoth", splitting it in half. The slain target showed no signs of bleeding, but simply turned into a cloud of mist, escaping in a thick stream.

The illusion woven for the peacock quickly vanished, and the surrounding scene blurred, and the fog enveloped it again.

Gaudus smiled rarely. At least, now Peacock is not deceived by the illusion, at least, she believes in herself.

This shows that the Treant Illusion is not invincible.

However, there was one more thing that Gaudus had in mind.

What is certain is that this illusion can control the human brain and can make people lost, and perhaps from the perspective of a bystander, these illusions are ridiculous and full of flaws. But for the person concerned, these illusions that hit the heart are comparable to the real illusion, it is like a brainwashing program, implanted in the human brain, making people willing to believe him.

It's like when you are asleep, you think the dream is real, and when you wake up, you realize that it is just a dream. People in dreams can't tell the difference between dreams and illusions because they are in a dream, and those who wake up from a dream are in reality, so they naturally know that it is a dream.

So even if they are as smart as Belea, as strong as Don Quixote, and as confident as Spider, they will be confused by this illusion, because they are already in a dream.

Why is it that the peacock is also a dreamer, but not bewitched by dreams?

This is the current confusion of Gaudus.

The bewilderment in the peacock's eyes faded and regained its clarity. She looked at the fog around her and said with a smile, "I did it, it's your turn, Mr. Gaudos." ”

Gauldos nodded.

As soon as the peacock finished speaking, the fog fell again, enveloping Gaudus and cutting off his vision.
