Chapter Seventy-Six: Pandora's Box

Pushing open the doors of the massive temple, you were greeted by a vast hall with no one inside, just two rows of blue torches around it, and a red carpet on the ground leading to the end - there was a tall pyramid, but at the top was a platform with a large box on it.

If you want to open Pandora's box, the lord has to come and hike up the high stairs, go up to the top, push the lid of the box open, and release the evil inside, of course, if you don't use it, the lid will automatically close, and you don't have to make another trip to the lord.

Locke stepped on the red carpet to the bottom of the pyramid, looked up at the steps leading to the top of the tower, and was a little speechless for a moment.

It's almost ten stories tall, isn't it? Do you have to come and climb every time you turn it on? Want to be tired?

The surrounding space is suppressed, unable to fly, and if the enemy wants to destroy the crystal, he must step up the stairs to the top of the tower step by step, but all around are traps with poisonous curse effects, and it is impossible to reach it without sacrificing his life to die.

Of course, it won't be opened if the lord comes.

Locke glanced up at the top, and finally reluctantly stepped on the steps and began to climb up.

Anne was lying on his shoulder and cheering him up and fanning him with a fan, and although the little one was cheering hard, Locke really wanted to say: If you can come down, it might be better.

After a while, the top of the tower arrived.

Glancing back at the bottom, Locke suddenly thought to himself: If you roll down the steps, will it be easier?

Shaking his head, he tossed aside the strange thoughts in his mind and came to the edge of the huge brown box.

Pandora's box, there are all the negative emotions in the world, as long as you open its lid, all the negative emotions such as sadness, pain, despair and so on are like open beasts, all rushing to every outsider within the castle area.

Like the legendary magic box, after all the negative emotions have flown away, what remains at the bottom of the box is a small spark called 'hope'.

"I'm going to start." Locke glanced at the box, reminded the little guy on his shoulder, then reached out and grabbed the corner of the box and pushed it slightly, revealing a gap that was pitch black inside.

"Hoo ————!!!!"

In an instant, countless streaks of black smoke burst out of it, and they swam wantonly across the ceiling above the entire pyramid, and finally gradually formed a whirlpool of air currents that swirled violently.

Countless wails and painful screams emanated from the black air mass, as if all the suffering and despair in the human world had gathered here.

This scene is really shocking, although they will not have any effect on Locke as a lord, but just looking at this formation, Locke definitely does not want to be touched by them, not even the slightest.

Anne on her shoulders hugged Locke's neck tightly while burying her little head deep in his back, and now she was trembling with fear, although these negative emotions did not touch her, but just listening to these high-pitched screams was enough to make people tremble.

Those hissing voices, Locke is very sure, once possessed by these negative emotions, he will definitely want to die.

"Get out of here!" Locke pointed out the door and shouted at the black cyclone above, and suddenly, the black gas in the rapid rotation revealed a sad human face, and then rushed out of the temple with a long and narrow chirp, and then all scattered.

In a few moments, Locke clearly heard a large number of hissing and lung-rending shouts from the far side of the square.

Now it's the orc's turn to be unlucky.

"Whew~~~~!" Locke subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, rubbed the still trembling head of the little guy on his shoulder, and comforted, "It's okay, they're gone." ”

Anne raised her head slowly, the situation just now was not too terrifying, this place will never come again!

"Come, let's see our own gifts." Locke smiled and pushed the lid of the whole box open, and inside the pitch-black box, a small point of light was shining one after another, and the point of light looked so soft and beautiful......

This is the light of hope, in the dark world, in the abyss of suffering and despair, people have been persevering and trying to live, just for the few lights called 'hope' in front of them.

This light is so dazzling, so hot, that everything in the world becomes its believer, just to be able to get its favor one day.

"Light of Hope......" Locke stretched out his hands and carefully held the small handful of light in his palm, slowly taking it out of the box.

"So beautiful~~" Anne looked at the light in Locke's palm that was swaying like a tinder, and carefully stretched out a finger to touch it, and at the moment when her fingertips touched, in an instant, her whole body was shrouded in a burst of light, all the pain, all the sadness, all disappeared in that instant, and the rest was incomparably peaceful and quiet.

Perhaps, this is the legendary bliss.

Seeing the little guy with his eyes closed and a look of fascination, Locke smiled, carefully clasped his hands together, and pressed hard.

Buzz————!!!

In an instant, a circle of intense light centered on him, spreading rapidly to all sides, through the hall, through the square, through the city walls, towards the castle around the castle, and suddenly, all the creatures belonging to the city, whether undead or demons, were all dyed with a faint halo called 'hope'.

All the subordinates with the status have increased their combat power, faster, stronger, and more efficient! This is true even for the troops that are produced later, as long as the temple is not destroyed and the energy continues, then this ray of hope will last forever.

"This is the power of hope...... Locke looked at his glowing hands, and his face sighed.

"Can we keep this thing on?" Anne looked at Locke with a confused look in her eyes, the power of hope was as addictive as Dupin's.

"Hehe, if we keep driving, we'll have to drink the northwest wind." Locke tapped her little nose, "But it's okay to drive for half an hour." ”

"Hey, hey."

Half an hour is 180,000 square meters of energy, and it is rare to be happy today, so it should be celebrated.

It's just that the orcs are suffering, and I hope they can hold on until the arrival of the ghouls and vampires in the future to relieve their pain.

"Where are we going now?" Anne asked, leaning against Locke's neck.

Locke said with a smile as he descended the steps: "The next stop, of course, is the vampire's Blood Pool Temple, not far away, just next door." (To be continued)
