“…… I don't know what you went through during that trial in the windswept firmament, what I went through was a very unforgettable nightmare—I could say that at first, but then," Amatho chuckled, "and then it was turned into a farce by a bored fellow.

"No, it can't be called a 'farce', at least until I know the truth, and when I choose to face it in the wrong way, it's even more terrifying than a nightmare." The elf was a little distracted: "I met Tina, and it was clear that she was experiencing the same nightmare as I was, before a certain point, it was a real 'nightmare', and then it also became a 'farce'. The two of us play different roles and are in the same dream. ”

He apparently didn't want to say more, and quickly brought it over.

"When I came out, I asked Lucy what she had been through, and the answer was the same, she relived the pain of losing her brother, but just as she was about to overcome her fear and come out of the haze, the nightmare ushered in another upheaval, which might be described as 'desperate'.

"So you see, our 'trials' have all had a mutation - after a certain point in time. Later, after coming out of the windy firmament, a very strange thing happened. With that, the elf looked at Surya. You've been asking me where 'Shamu' has gone, and I don't know how to answer you because I don't know which 'Shamu' you're asking. ”

"Which one?" The girl was a little confused.

"That's right." He nodded. "Remember the 'point in time' I was talking about, it had an iconic character: a fake 'Shamu', the exact same but completely different person as the annoying human before - but he hated it even more.

"This is what I call 'very strange things', after you were knocked unconscious, and then the group left, this fake 'Shamu' appeared, or he had been there before, and he only revealed his true identity after everyone had left, and he had a brief exchange with that Mr. Shans, which I didn't understand at the time, but now I probably understand, it should be an amicable separation.

"I'm pretty sure it's someone else, he's snarky, he's clean, he's in control. Although Tina suffered at the hands of that guy, it was the first time she was killed. And the most important thing is that he is ridiculously strong, much more powerful than that guy.

"And then, guess what he did?"

The girl hurriedly asked, "What did he do?" ”

The elf shrugged.

"This is the land of the dead, and now I'm like this again, what do you say he did?"

Sulya became even more puzzled when she learned the truth.

"But...... Why would he do this? That 'fake Shamu', why did he do this? ”

"He said it was to save me, and at the same time to 'tie me to the chariot,' and that my doubts would be resolved later—I think that's what I was referring to." "So I suspect that the real Shamu was also sent here, and that he has a very important secret hidden in him. ”

With that, he glanced at Eric, who was writing on the ground, when he heard the sound in his ear stop, and he forgot about Surya in surprise.

"It's your turn, Miss, where's your information?"

"Uh......"

"Don't be a mother-in-law, tell me your information. I don't know what you mean by 'Wind Firmament' and 'Trial', but it sounds powerful. Now that my desire to reason has been stimulated, I need more intelligence. ”

"Then I'll start with 'trials.'" The girl frowned and pondered, "My trial was very ordinary, but I also met someone else pretending to be 'Xia Mu', but he was quickly recognized by me, after that I was teleported to the trial ground, and met Piper-sama, who was the administrator of this trial, and he told me that I was the first to complete the trial, and the others were still in the dream state."

"Next, Patriarch Gustavo's trial went wrong, and Master Piper asked me to help him—"

"Was his injury inflicted at that time?"

"Amacer, don't interrupt!"

Before Sulia could reply, Eric yelled at the elf, who immediately shut up.

The girl smiled and shook her head slightly.

"Not at the time, but it was after a strange thing happened that Patriarch Gustavo was covered in blood - when there was a tide of elemental formation in the sky above the arena, and Master Piper said that a new and powerful soul was about to be born......"

"And then what's the 'Gustavo'?" Eric asked.

Surya nodded.

That's right, and then he was suddenly covered in blood, as if something terrible had happened during the trial. Piper-sama, too, realizes that something is not quite right and immediately goes to find Mr. Shans. ”

"Can I understand that the manager of the 'trial' realizes that the circle is malfunctioning and goes to an older manager?"

"It should ...... No problem. ”

"And then? After the old manager came—"

"Mr. Shans interrupted the trial, and to be precise, a sword split the space and rescued everyone."

"So what about the 'powerful soul that was born'? It died under the sword? ”

Surya was stunned, she realized what had gone wrong in the whole trial process, this soul from nothing, where did it go?

"I don't know about this, but the sword seems to have frightened Xia Mu, who was unconscious for at least ten days. As for Patriarch Gustavo, he was more seriously wounded, and he was constantly healing, and he did not wake up until Mr. Shans escorted us away. After coming out of the windswept firmament, it was what Amatho said, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up again, I was far away from there, and when I asked Mr. Shans about the whereabouts of Shamu, he refused to tell me, only that I couldn't help him for the time being, and that I needed to get stronger. ”

"Where has this 'old administrator' been escorting you to?"

"Until Morningstar, he was my sword instructor." Surya couldn't help but praise: "Even in my grandfather, I didn't feel such a sharp guidance, and he knew almost all the swordsmanship. ”

"Stop." Eric motioned for her to pause.

"There are enough unknowns, and there is no need to judge with subjective emotions, let me sort out my thoughts."

Our writer looked at the ghostly symbols and lines and fell into deep thought.

Amath and Surya glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Is this guy really reliable?

Ten minutes later, Eric jerked his head up and wrote "Script A" in the open space on the right.

"Now tell me something else, like this one about this Mr. Shans; about Mu Yan, that is, what you call Xia Mu; And then there is the Shamu, especially you, Amacer, who is the only one of the three of us who has had direct contact with Shamu - let's assume that the name Shamu refers to the fake him. At this point, Eric glanced at Suria, and sure enough, there was a hint of displeasure in the girl's eyes.

"Believe me, Miss, it's impossible for a person to swear to Miya with such sincere eyes, I see not only respect, but also 100% trust." Mu Yan' must be his real name. ”

"Now, then, intelligence gathering begins."
