Sullya and his party were eventually picked up from the open world by Shans. On the one hand, Glazer's body is too much in deficit, in Shans's words, "It's incredible that a legendary mage's near-infinite life can be like a candle in the wind." ”

After hearing a series of stories about what happened to Glazer, Shans couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the old mage.

On the other hand, there is no need to continue the exploration of the open world, which is Shans's insistence and Eric's compromise. However, as a reward for keeping the little skeleton a secret, everyone learned of Mangaza's origins.

The first legendary mage and joker of Lokan has been active in the plains of Horse Husbandry since the ancient Genesis Dynasty, playing the role of a scholar and prophet to bring hope to mankind, teaching them how to survive and spreading the wisdom of magic.

He advocated that "power is not only a tool for survival, but also an eye to explore the world", so he hopes that even people who do not have the talent of a mage can understand the elements and understand magic, rather than retreating from it with some kind of fear, and let the mage become a mysterious and lofty being.

But he failed.

Those who have mastered magic are both feared, isolated, and even faintly hated by the populace. Moreover, all mages were unbelievers, and the belief in Kanrosh was deeply rooted in the human race at that time, because this belief was firmly blocked from the elemental realm, and even many young people with mage talents were obscure.

But even so, he planted the seeds of magic in the human race.

He teaches humans how to use the web, but he himself remains out of it, trying to lead the mage's high-end power to escape the web's grasp.

But he failed again, this time because of the intervention of the gods.

With his help and watchfulness, his apprentices rose to legend one by one, freed from the shackles of the magic web, and then at that moment were snatched by Ikali on top of the magic web, killing one by one, of which Eriel was the last one.

The reason why this elf was able to survive was also earned by Mangaza with his life. When he entered the legend, Mangaza used his power to attract Ikali's attention, and then let him escape the clutches of the devil, all of which was like Mu Yan did to save Teacher Za, but Mangaz sat down on his own.

By the time Ikali realized it, she had lost the ability to capture Eliel, who had completely escaped the web and had become a true elemental manipulator.

Although she could have her elemental apostles kill him and take the name of the blasphemer, in those ancient times, the beliefs of the elves were not as unified as they are now.

The elves are a unique race, and first of all they are not unbelievers.

Because of the totem of the double moon, each elf opens and closes his mouth to "praise the brilliance of the double moon", and this pious attitude is even more exaggerated than the so-called believers.

But they can't talk about faith, because the two moons are just a planet that doesn't know how many light years away, and they can't harvest the power of faith, let alone "gods......

In other words, the elves are superimposed on the unbelievers and the believers.

So Ikali has always had a little fantasy about this special race, she wants to cultivate a believer who can truly "control" the elements, or a "true legendary mage", and then let her dedicate her body to the gods, so that she can free herself from Mia's shackles and come down from the magic web.

At that point, she will be the true Master, and with all the elements, she will be able to find Patumnax and Alduin, absorb their own soul power, take complete control of the Cocktail Divine Power, and master all that Mia has left behind.

So Eliel survived and was not poisoned. He was alive and well until now, and even if he was imprisoned in the crypt of Bourrod, Ikali didn't want him to die.

But no one knows how long her patience will last.

……

Other than that, Shans didn't talk much about other things, and he talked to Eric specifically.

As he had said before, it was true that he could get to Lokan through the Dark Abyss, the same path they used to take when sending testers, but there were two problems involved.

First, every time the people of the Dark Abyss leave, they are forced to forget about the experience here, which is a protective measure, and it has been there since the beginning, although Shans has never left here, he has a feeling that if he tries to leave, it will be the same.

So the testers don't know their identities when they leave here, and they only come back with their data when they die.

Second, the above situation is based on the condition that the Eden system is complete, and the passage does exist. But now they only have Cantusha, and Ignos's heart has been destroyed in Vadan, as they say, and the Eden system is not functioning well enough to teleport.

"And what if we pass the four trials?" Eric asked, always interested in the setting of the four trials and the final reward.

"Before the first testers returned, there was no Snow Town, and there was no 'open world'. The second level of Pine Cone is a labyrinth, the corners are full of monsters, just like your friend experienced in the Wind Firmament, and only by clearing all the monsters will the door to the third level be opened. The third level is the Mirror Challenge, where everyone faces enemies exactly like themselves, and after that, the Courage Test. ”

"And then?"

Shans scratched his head, "The second and third layers have been around since I had consciousness, and I didn't create them, so I'm curious to see what's inside...... After they've all been sent out, I'm the only one left in the entire Dark Abyss, so I'll ......."

"What do you do?"

"I wiped out all the monsters in the entire second layer of the labyrinth and even the dark abyss, and then used the energy collected from them to shape a new open world......"

“…… So you passed the four trials? ”

"No, I only passed the first three, and ...... Strictly speaking, it's two. When I stood in front of the mirror on the third floor, another me appeared inside, and then the mirror was shattered by me...... As for the fourth path, I've been in a daze in the Starlight Arena for one hundred and fifty-five years, and I haven't triggered any 'inner fear', maybe it's biased against undead creatures......"

"In other words...... "Eric sorted out his thoughts, "First of all, the setting of the four trials has been there from the beginning. Secondly, the second and third trials were modified by you, and finally, no one has completely challenged these four levels so far? ”

"So to speak." Shansi said: "And...... Because of Cantusha, the second and third levels are no longer meaningful to you, and you can directly participate in the fourth level......"

Eric chuckled in his heart, he didn't calculate that he still had to go through the test of courage.

Is it true that you can't escape?

"But ......"

I don't know why, but hearing this, Eric breathed a sigh of relief, but then hung again.

"In the previous battle, if I hadn't intervened, they would have all left the field." Shans said: "Alduin controlled the Glazer and destroyed that space, and they all entered the spectator space, which is strictly a 'departure'. In other words, there are only two people who are eligible to participate in the fourth level now. ”

"What?"

Eric was stunned for a moment, and he remembered that he had indeed seen Sullya and his party in the viewing space.

Other words...... Uno and Grace now carry the hope of the whole team?

He breathed a sigh of relief and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Yesterday I went back to my hometown, and I remember setting up automatic updates in the morning, but it was just an illusion...... Make it up tomorrow.
