092. Off-site help
After waking up from the dream, Talos was led by Sandra through the spatial loop and the corridor guarded by thirty-six Naga golems to enter the secret room hall in front of the study.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Talos informs Sandra of the parts that he can temporarily allow those closest to him to know, such as the counterattack he is experiencing from Laziness, and the content and inferences about the three strange dreams.
Soul fire and travel are Talos's biggest secrets, and they have always been guarded to avoid being known to a second person.
Ever since he learned the truth about the soul fire from Urban I, he was often worried and uneasy about his own situation and the possible involvement of the gods and evil gods on the Neptune family.
Therefore, you only need to have enough fame to solve your problems. ”
After receiving the notification from the Black Sea Knight to come to Talos's room, Sandra immediately used twelve detection spells, and did not find any curses or spell traces on Talos that could map damage to reality, such as Eternal Nightmares, High Nightmare Curses, Terrifying Visions, Deadly Stigmata, and Memories of the Dead, but they also did not wake him up.
Talos hurriedly nodded in affirmation: "Yes, reputation, the more the better." ”
The best way to solve the primordial desire counterattack is to perform the plane descent as soon as possible, collect faith to strip [Laziness] from the body, but by now, although the pattern of the Ouroboros on the temporary imprint door of the Soul Fire Center has appeared, it seems that there is still some distance from opening.
There are only two conditions for opening the Temporary Seal Gate, the first is divine power, Talos collected a total of three copies from the Impa Plane Arena, two copies were consumed by the two plane descent times, plus the one inherited from the Bruce Soul Fire, there are still two copies in his hand at present, so he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being before becoming a six-armed Naga;
Considering the specific situation of the dream for ten thousand years, Talos is afraid that he will be trapped in the dream before the temporary sigil door is fully lit, and since he was discovered by Sandra during the period, he took the opportunity to ask for help.
"Is fame enough?, or do we need to extract faith from fame?" asked Sandra pointedly.
"Uh......"
Sometimes it's not a good thing for teammates to be too smart, as now, Sandra's tendency to explore the relationship between fame and faith with a simple question easily stumped Talos.
After thinking for about ten seconds, Talos pretended not to hear Sandra's hidden meaning: "Fame, as long as fame is fine, whether it is bad or good, in short, the more people know my name and deeds, the faster the problem can be solved." ”
Sandra nodded: "Regarding the matter of reputation, I will arrange it as soon as possible, to ensure that every citizen of the Naga Kingdom will often talk about your name and deeds in the next few days, the key is ...... Tar, how many more days are you going to last?"
The counterattack of [Lazy] has been going on for three days, the first day of the strange dream lasts for half a day, the second day lasts for one day, the third day lasts for two days, according to the law of double increase, the fourth day is four days, and the fifth day is eight days......
"As long as it's not a combat type, I can probably grit my teeth and persevere. ”
To be honest, Talos is not completely sure about this, God knows what strange and chaotic things he will encounter in strange dreams, and the content of dreams has no rules to follow at all.
"Relax, from tonight onwards, you will sleep in the True Moth Repair Pod, and Brenda will monitor the treatment in real time and notify me as soon as possible. ”
Talos thought about it, it did work, the physical body in the real world was intact, and he in the dream world should not die so easily.
As long as he lives, there is a solution, and if things are really as Sandra said just now, everyone in the Naga Kingdom discusses his name and deeds, maybe [Lazy] can really grow [Lazy] to the point of opening the door of the temporary seal.
Seeing that the most troublesome matter was about to be resolved, Talos breathed a sigh of relief, and then for a while, he cautiously asked Sandra, "Mother, is there anything else you would like to ask?"
Sandra seemed a little surprised by Talos's candor, "You don't mind?"
"Of course not. ”
"It's good, I just haven't been able to find the right opportunity. ”
Talos flicked his tail, instinctively feeling a pang of unease, but it was too late.
"Can I take a look at that special space that can hold life, if you have one?"
Pressing the urge to escape, Talos Dead Duck stiffened: "What pretend to be life...... Special Space ...... I didn't have ......."
Under Sandra's gaze, Talos became more and more unconfident: "Well, there is a special space, a very special space, not a spatial ring, which is bound to the soul to some extent...... When did you know? I mean, I didn't mean to hide it, I just ......."
"I know, everybody has secrets, that's normal, Tár, you don't have to blame yourself for that, and I don't mean to blame you. Sandra recalled how Leonhard had appeased Talos for more than a decade, and she was not very good at it, thought for a moment, and added, "I also have secrets that no one else knows." ”
Sandra's unskilled reassurance gave Talos some encouragement, and he felt much better, and he scratched his hair: "You haven't said when you found out?"
"When you asked me about the death octopus. Sandra explained, "No one has ever seen a Death Octopus since Sally handed over the Water Whisperer's pet to you, no corpses, no physical objects, and Leo kept wondering if you would be injured by the Death Octopus during that time, and the Evelyn Palace has been shrouded in mystical eyes and other spells for monitoring all year round—"
The Grand Duke of the Black Sea sighed: "I think it's hard to pretend that you didn't guess. ”
Sandra's meaning couldn't be clearer, the secret that Talos thought he was well hidden was not actually hidden, the main thing was that Sandra cooperated well, pretended not to know, and secretly helped him hide it.
Frustrated, Talos slowly opened the world and let it erode the world, and soon the fog was all around him.
Through the mist, Sandra could faintly see a python perched on a cliff, a three-eyed octopus swimming quickly in the sea, and hear a sudden hissing sound coming from the bottom of the sea.
Before Talos could explain that it was Medusa, Sandra's long dark blonde hair flew and turned into poisonous snakes covered in fine scales, revealing the form of a gorgon.
This was the first time Talos had seen Sandra with snake-haired flying and hissing, and sure enough, Dolores was right, the three six-armed Naga, the Grand Duke of the Black Sea, the Chief of Sandshan, and the Ice Witch were all rare gorgons!
Whoop -
Medusa twisted her waist and tail as she rose seductively from the central lake, staring at Sandra through a layer of fog.
Both the earthly python and Medusa are the embodiment of the original desire after being stripped from Talos and sealed in the surface world, even Talos can't let them descend directly into the present world, so he is not worried about what will happen if he looks at Sandra.
Hiss –
Hiss –
After a minute-long hissing of snake hair, Medusa sank to the bottom of the lake, and Sandra's snake hair hibernated, turning into long hair again.
"She told me something interesting—" Sandra reached out and pressed it, gesturing to Talos not to be nervous, "not a bad thing, it saved me a lot of questioning sessions." ”
Although I wanted to know what Medusa said, since Sandra had no intention of explaining, Talos would not ask, after all, he knew.
What's more, Medusa is dominated by Talos, although it is not as good as Bruce's primordial desire to stay in the material plane and exist in the form of an incarnation, but it will definitely not be unfavorable to Talos, which he is convinced of.
If he had to draw a lesson from this, it was probably that Medusa and the Gorgons would be able to talk through the snakes, which Talos never expected, after all, none of the five languages he mastered included snake language.
"One last question—" After the long tail note caught Talos' attention and brought him back from his thoughts, Sandra controlled the flow of water and wrote a few words, the Frost Crown, "Do you have any clues?"
Pondering whether Sandra's question is meaningful and frank, Talos chooses the latter.
"In the watch world, I mean that space just now, no one else knows, it's very safe. There's a very important secret hidden in the Frost Crown, and even —" Talos gestured upwards to the gods of the sky, "Don't tell anyone. By the way—"
Talos took out a holy grail from the watch world: "This is what I learned from ...... Uh, a magic item that you got by chance during an adventure, you should love. ”
The three major gods of the Terra plane, the Holy Crown of the Sky God Domain, and the Holy Sword of the Earth God Domain were all eaten by Talos, increasing their strength, and only the Holy Grail of the Ocean God Domain remained.
There are many inconveniences for the bloodline knight to use magic items, and the urge of the Holy Grail requires faith, so after obtaining this treasure of the Ocean God Domain, Talos has not used it.
Sandra is a legendary mage who is proficient in the spells of the two major factions, the water elemental and the spell, and the Holy Grail may indeed become a treasure one day.
The moment she held the chalice in her hand, Sandra knew that it was a magical item that was not a treasure, but it was only one step away from it, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, but Talos pretended not to see her mother's inquiring gaze and turned the conversation back to fame.
"Do you have any thoughts on fame?"
"Ideas will come soon. ”
"I don't understand what you mean. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Talos and Sandra's Magic Web Rings made a sound at the same time, and he threw his consciousness into the Magic Web Ring, and the message came from Emma.
"Prince Hasima, the chief court archmage has come to visit. ”
The combination looked a little strange, and Talos hurriedly asked, "What are they doing here?"
Prince Hasima is the traditional title of the royal husbands of the Naga Kingdom, this Prince Hasima is the husband of Vanessa II and the biological father of Princess Anna.
"I guess it should be...... Marriage!"
