The Guardian's words made Link stop, he looked at Grace Sha'er on the side, the other party was 'frozen' in the space seal, there was a large blood hole between the chest and abdomen, the blood stained up and down the body, and the surrounding ground was bursting flesh, her eyes frozen in space were starlessly open, although the pupils had begun to spread, but the head was slightly raised, and as far as the eye could see, it was where Link was standing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The expression on her face was very complicated, there seemed to be a hint of joy, and there seemed to be a hint of bitterness, and no one could tell what she was thinking at this time.

But one thing is certain, as long as Link removes the spatial seal, without the help of an external force, in a few minutes, she will die.

"She doesn't have any strength to resist anymore." Link didn't want to do it.

"Not now, but you certainly won't watch her die, and you're strong enough to save her, and as long as she lives, she'll be obsessed with destroying the fragments of the Book of Genesis, and she'll be your opponent..... So, as long as she's alive, you're not eligible for the shards. ”

The Guardian's words are unusually heartless, and he gives Link a very cruel choice, either to choose a fragment of the Book of Creation or to save Grace Sha'er's life, and he can only choose one of the two.

Link fell silent, he tried to take a step forward, only to find that there was a very thick wall of air in the air in front of him, and after he took a step forward, he could not go any further.

Judging from the previous performance, the strength of this guardian is extremely strong, up to level 19, and Link is not half sure that he will forcibly break through to the obstacles set by such an existence.

"People can change, and she may not persevere to the end." Link tries to convince this Guardian.

The Guardian shook his head, "Looks like you still don't know her well enough. A dragon queen who has survived for more than 2,000 years and has seen all the darkness and cruelty of the world will be easily persuaded by you? No, it won't, what she has decided, no one can change, and neither can you, years... Light... People!"

He focused on the last three words, specifically pointing out Link's age.

His words are not unreasonable, although Link has great strength and is considered to be the top in the human race, but in the end he is only a young man in his twenties, even if the years of the two lives together are not more than 50 years old, with his experience, experience, and insight, he can't understand the thoughts of life that has survived for two thousand years.

It's like an innocent child who can't understand an adult's thoughts, both of them are under the same roof, but they don't live on the same level of thinking at all.

This is an objective fact, and Link can't deny it either.

Seeing that Link seemed to be listening, the Guardian continued, "The fragment of the Book of Creation has infinite power, and with it, you will stand on the highest point of Feroman and become the Supreme Lord. At the highest point, there was a bitter cold wind. Countless people covet your power, countless people want to take your glory, your closest people will stab you in the heart, the person you trust the most will hand you a glass of poisoned wine, and the person you love the most will eventually become your terminator. If a master wants to live forever, he must be alone..... So, put an end to her life! ”

The Guardian's words seemed to have magical power, and when his voice kept ringing, Link couldn't help but have all kinds of visions in his mind.

In this vision, Ellett stares at him with vicious eyes in a dark corner behind him, and while he sleeps, Celine quietly holds a poisoned dagger in her hand, and all that Lucy, the head of Field, reports to him is a false ..... It's almost a betrayal.

Soon after, many more visions emerged, this time not about himself, but about the history he saw from books, some of which were of Feroman and some of the earth.

In these fantasies, kings and emperors have always been alone, and for the supreme throne, fathers kill their sons, brothers kill brothers, mothers kill their sons, cannibalism, countless human tragedies, unexplained sin and darkness.

'Huh~Huh~' Link's ears seemed to sound a cold wind, and he recalled the Guardian's words again in his ears: "The Supreme Lord must be lonely, and at the highest place, there is a cold wind!" ”

Yes, the wind was so biting that it was just an illusion that made the strong-willed Link shiver subconsciously.

The Guardian's Light and Shadow had a pair of eyes that shimmered with a white glow, as if he had seen through everything in the world, and he looked at Link, as if he had seen through his soul: "Young man, what is your choice now?" Is it the glory of solitude, or the happiness of mortals? ”

Link glanced at the blood-stained and dying Grace again, was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I choose ......"

Seriously, at this moment, he didn't know what choice he should make, and this was the first time he was confused since he came to this world.

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a flash of light in his vision, and he glanced at the task that had appeared before: the fragment that should not exist.

The quest emitted a blinding red light, flashing and flickering, not only to show its own existence, but also to remind Link that the will of the Lord of Light had destroyed the shards.

At the same time, Link's voice sounded in his head again: "Another voice appeared in my memory, and this voice said a sentence: All existence in the world is the mind, and if the mind is blinded, the world has no light." ”

This sentence is a bit mysterious, hearing this, Link's heart moved slightly, something flashed in his mind, this thing is very ethereal, like a rabbit galloping through the grass, only a vague shadow can be seen.

Past experience has taught Link that when you are hesitant, don't rush to make a decision because of external influences, think clearly first, so as not to make inevitable mistakes.

So, he shut his mouth and fell silent again.

"What's your choice, young man?" The Guardian urged.

Link shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, you've been waiting for countless hours, it should be okay to wait a little longer, right?" ”

"That's true..... I'll wait for you to decide. ”

Link recalled the words of the sword spirit, he slowly calmed down, and then carefully felt the situation around his body, until more than ten minutes passed, Link had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and got a conjecture: "There is no enchantment around me that restricts the recovery of my strength, and this space is not blocked by space, I can still use space magic, could it be that the so-called restricted teleportation and flying techniques are all false appearances in my heart?" ’

Thinking so, Link ignored the existence of the Guardian's light and shadow, pulled out the Song of the Bright Moon, and began to practice the Soul Forge Technique in place.

One move and one style, very slowly, his mind also slowly immersed, I don't know how long it took, Link's heart suddenly moved, and he found a trace of abnormality.

The anomaly was not in his environment, but in his soul.

With the help of the Soul Forge of the legendary combat skill, Link is completely immersed in his mind, and his mind enters an indescribable stillness, like a lake as calm and smooth as a mirror.

At this time, Link had no waves in his heart, and there was not the slightest emotion.

It's total calm.

He was able to achieve such a state because of the combination of many factors, on the one hand, the effect of the legendary battle skill soul furnace, on the other hand, Link's power is the power of pure plane essence, extremely perfect, the interference with Link is almost equal to zero, and the most important point is that Link's control skills over his mind are very superb.

In this calm, the slightest abnormality in Link's body was clearly reflected, and then perceived by Link.

He felt a few more strange thoughts in his mind, and after careful experience, there were about three thoughts, two of which were very clear, the first was that teleportation magic was not allowed during the approaching of the fragments, and the second was that he could not fly in the valley.

That's exactly what the Guardians are giving.

There was another thought that was a little vague, and Link felt it carefully, and found that it was a very hazy malice, and the source of the malice was the Guardian, which was inexplicable, but it could trigger a stress mechanism in Link's mind.

When this mechanism is activated, the changes in the mind affect the body, and the changes in the body affect the strength, and after a series of avalanche-like amplification effects, Link's body thinks that everything in the environment is harmful, and subconsciously refuses to absorb the power of the outside world.

'Everything is the mind, and if the mind is blinded, there is no light in the world. Sword Spirit's words sounded in Link's mind again, and when he heard these words again, Link's heart suddenly suddenly, and in an instant, a ray of sunshine appeared in his heart full of dark clouds.

As soon as this light appeared, it was like a sharp sword, and all the dark clouds were shattered into pieces, and the whole world in Link's eyes became extremely clear in an instant, and at the same time, Link noticed that the towering ice walls around him had changed very subtly, and they looked hazy, like a cloud of white mist.

In an instant, Link suddenly realized.

It turns out that this guardian illusion does not have much real power, and most of his means are at the spiritual level, and it turns out that everything around this is mostly an illusion.

This ice valley, except for the outermost layer of the frost barrier, everything else is an illusion.

Exhaling lightly, Link looked at the Guardian Light and Shadow again, and found that this Guardian was also an illusion, and if he looked closely, the air around him was still slightly shaking, and his own strength aura was also very weak, almost a cloud of air.

"You're just a remnant of the consciousness of an ancient lord, and now, you can't stop me."

With that, Link walked over to the fragment of the Book of Creation and picked it up.

In the process, the Guardian Light and Shadow automatically stepped aside, a faint smile appeared on his face, and when Link took the fragment in his hand, he bowed slightly to Link: "Young man, you have passed the final test. ”

At this time, Link was no longer confused in his heart, he looked at the fragment in his hand and asked, "It doesn't make me a master, it can't even give me power, does it?" ”

"Of course, it's just a fragment, and if you can really use it to become the master, it won't be abandoned here."

Link asked, "So what is the significance of it being handed down more than 100,000 years ago to this day?" ”

"It's a key." A ray of light appeared in the Guardian's hand, and the light gradually dissipated, and then, all illusions in the valley vanished without a trace.

Cold winds, snow and ice, and extreme low temperatures all appeared, revealing the true appearance of the Far North.

'Whew~Whew~' The terrible north wind continued to blow, rubbing against Link's face, as sharp as a knife, and Link had to use a level 5 magic to resist this extreme low temperature.

In the midst of the wind and snow, the Guardian's vision became uncertain, and he pointed to the high snowy peak behind him, and said, "Do you see the mountain road that is hidden by thick snow and ice?" ”

Link looked over, and through the thick snowflakes, he saw that there was a high mountain behind the guardian, and there was a winding mountain road on the mountain, and when the snow on this mountain road was very thick, if it were not for the fact that the snow seemed relatively flat, it would not be possible to see the road at all.

"Follow this path all the way up, and when you reach the top of the mountain, there is a cave with a level 19 eternal seal at the entrance of the cave, and the key to open it is in your hand...... Young man, may you have a happy life. ”

When he finished saying this, a whirlwind blew, and his figure turned into snowflakes with the wind, merging into the Far North ice field.

At this time, Link looked at the horizon again, the destruction mission of the game system was still there, but it was no longer flickering, and the color had changed from the previous blood red to an untouchable gray, and the word 'abandoned' was marked at the back of the task.

This discovery made Link slightly stunned: "Lord of Radiance...... Do you make mistakes too? ”

Link had always thought that the Lord of Radiance was powerful and almost omniscient about the internal affairs of Feroman, but now, he was wrong.

If you think about it, this is not the first time that the Lord of Light has made a mistake, once in the city of Larico of the Job, the Lord of Light was deceived by the God of Destruction and made a mistake.

"It seems that the Lord of Radiance is not as powerful as I imagined, and he can't control it in the face of the ultimate level 19 power in the mortal world."

This detail allowed Link to see through the bottom line of the power of the Lord of Radiance, the Lord of Radiance is very strong, but it is not a strong anti-sky, and his control of Feroman has many flaws and loopholes.

Of course, Link's strength is still too weak now, it's too early to think about this, he shook his head slightly, threw these thoughts out of his mind, he blessed himself with a levitation technique, and then launched the Void Walk, just like this, along the guidance of the mountain road, quickly drifting towards the top of the mountain.

Ten seconds later, Link stood in front of an ice crystal more than three meters high.

At first glance, it was just an ordinary ice cube, but if he looked closely, Link saw that the ice crystals were painted with magic runes, these runes were innumerable and extremely profound, and Link looked at it and felt a splitting headache and had to give up.

As he approached the ice crystal gate, the shards in his hands began to brighten and 'buzz' and vibrate, as if to break away from Link's hand.

Link let go of it, and it immediately floated towards the crystal door, and then disappeared on the crystal like a drop of water merging into the lake, and after about ten seconds, the crystal door also began to glow, which lasted for five or six seconds, only to hear a soft 'bang', the crystal door disappeared, and a small secret room appeared inside.

There was a pale blue glimmer in the chamber, and a very ethereal, pleasant voice came out, and Link walked in, his eyes suddenly widening.

In the chamber, he saw two people, nay, two withered corpses, to be exact. (To be continued.) )
