Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Visitor from a Foreign Land
(No) I can't accept it......
I know what you're saying, but I can't just do nothing......
Please don't be like this, everyone's survival always has a meaning, although I don't know what it is for......
As soon as Sophia entered the large room, they heard Cassius as if he was arguing with someone, but they only heard Cassius alone's shout, but not the voice of the person arguing, and the companions looked around, the walls of this room were carved with all kinds of strange frescoes, and dozens of new stone statues with different expressions and strange shapes stood on either side, and at the end of the room were two figures sitting cross-legged
The man with his back to his companions was fat and wearing elemental mage robes, but his companions easily recognized him as Cassius, and the man sitting a few meters in front of Cassius was a thin, scruffy old man, with dark skin on his upper body, and his appearance was very different from that of ordinary Olopa residents, with a flat nose, deep-set eyes, and a pale mouth, a bandana rolled into a strange shape on the top of his head. With a curly beard hanging down to his chest, and an old rosary around his neck, the man's eyes were closed as if he were asleep, and his lips did not move or make any sound, but from Cassius's actions it seemed that the old man was talking to Cassius
Cassius, Sophia, Joyka, and Ray immediately rushed to Cassius's side, are you okay, we haven't seen you since we woke up, and I'm worried about dying
You have finally caught up, and when you hear the shouts of your companions, Cassius immediately stood up and turned around, and it was good that this old gentleman Shamosa had not deceived me
Old Mr. Shamosa listened to Cassius's name, and Sophia cast her inquiring eyes on the sloppy old man with his eyes closed and motionless, are you talking about this old man
yes
Fat man didn't he put us in that damn dream, Joika asked
Cassius nodded
Damn Thunder picked up his spear and was about to make a move
The mage stretched out his hand to stop him: Don't do this, if it weren't for him, we would all sleep forever in that endless dream world
Cassius, what is this, Sophia asked
In the Peacock Empire, he was a practitioner known as an 'ascetic', and in order to pursue the question he wanted to solve, the old gentleman set foot on the land of Olopa, and in the Tower of the Seven Sins, he did not eat, drink, or move, and has been thinking about that question for 40 years......
Wait, fat man, do you say that this old man doesn't eat, drink, or move, and just sits for 40 years, Joyka interrupted him
yes
Brother, how do you know this
For when I woke up, I suddenly felt a spiritual connection with the old gentleman, and all the thoughts and thoughts of his heart suddenly came to me, and Cassiuston was the first to wake up, and I begged him to bring you out of your dreams
So that's the case, no wonder we can't see you when we wake up, by the way, fat man, did you pay any price, careful joyka found a problem
Yes, Shakyamsa wants to bring you out of the dream world, and the only request he makes is that I want to be his disciple
Apprentice, have you already agreed?
In response to Joica's sharp question, Cassius was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly
Chaos Joy Card reproached, how can you easily agree to the request of this unknown person, don't forget that Uncle Regunor is your honest master
But in that case, I had no choice but to watch you lose yourself in your dreams forever, Cassius defended himself loudly
Am I wrong, hmph, I don't believe that the Dream Breaking Realm can trap us forever
Cassius Joyka Stop Fighting Sophia I want to know why this release ...... Old Mr. Shamosa wants to trap us in the realm of dreams
In order to prevent us from moving forward
Why did everyone call out at the same time?
Could it be that even the pagans from afar should obey the orders of Pope Sophia, who shouted excitedly
No, Cassius said that Mr. Shamsasa did not stop us from moving forward because of the Pope's order, he volunteered to become a guard of the Tower of the Seven Sins, in order to be able to think without distraction, and the old man stopped us from moving forward, because he felt that every life in the world was just a passing cloud, and soon it would disappear, and life would continue to return in the world in one cycle after another, even if we saved the lives of those people today, they would die in a few decades, so our efforts were meaningless, and in order for us to understand this, he would let us experience that incomparably cruel qiē in our dreams
What kind of bullshit theory is this, Joyka yelled, just because everyone will die eventually, so there is no point in us saving people, old man, hum, I just know that we have fought hard to this point, and we must not abandon the fat man halfway, you shouldn't agree with this bullshit theory
Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't have debated for so long
I would never agree with this statement: my people should not have died in such an unwarranted calamity, whether they live for years, months, or days, everyone is trying to live, and no one can deprive them of the right to live, Sophia said passionately
What are you doing nonsense, since you want to stop us, you are our enemy, Ray picked up his spear and walked straight to the old man
Ray Bego went to Cassius and hurriedly dissuaded his brother
Hmph, don't say that I bullied the old man, I want to see what this old man relies on to stop us, Lei said contemptuously
The distance of more than ten meters only took a few seconds, and when Ray came to the old man's side, nothing happened
You don't have anything to fear, Ray glanced at the old man beside him, and walked straight to the exit on the other side of the room
Let's go too, seeing Ray walk to the exit unhindered, Joyka said to the other two companions, Sophia and Cassius nodded to each other, and the three of them rushed directly to the exit......
St. Papal Island
Pope Frio I, after getting the group of imps who had invaded the Tower of Seven Sins had reached the level of laziness, had an idea that he had never had before: those imps who had defeated the first four guards were better to defeat the lazy guards as well, or at least to deal heavy damage
Although the Pope knew that this might greatly threaten his efforts to destroy the city of Hansa with the Tower of the Seven Sins, perhaps the man who had sat on the lazy floor for more than 40 years was even more of a threat to the Holy See, 40 years before he was a small priest in the local Church, when a mysterious foreign visitor from the far east set foot on the land of Olopa
The man, Shamosa, was a monk of the Mauryan Empire, who claimed to have come to seek the truth, but in the eyes of the Central Church, there was no room for any faith outside of the Holy Light Sect, and soon Shamosa was arrested by the Inquisition, and he did not resist anything
However, just as the Holy See was about to pronounce and sanction Mossa's alleged crimes, the foreign visitor said only one word, destroying a regiment of the Knights Templar in an instant
The strength displayed by Shakyo Mosa made the whole church at that time feel sorry, and just as the people of the church were panicking about this matter, Shakti Mosa unexpectedly did not take any other hostile actions, he meditated in a quiet corner, did not eat, drink, and speak. Inaction continued in this state for several years, and in the first few years, the Holy See kept a very strict watch over the area where Shamosa was located, and then the next Pope ordered Shamosa to be moved to the fifth floor of the just-completed Tower of Seven Sins - Lazy Inside, although the Pope at the time could not be sure whether sending such a dangerous person into the Tower of Seven Sins would have any effect on the divine plan that had been carried out for thousands of years, but they really couldn't think of any safe place to house this extremely dangerous foreign visitor except the Tower of the Seven Sins
From then on, the existence of Mossa became a high secret of the Central Church, and Frio I clearly remembered that when he received the papal scepter from the previous pope, the old pope once said to him in a deep voice: The heretic who is locked in the fifth level of the Tower of Seven Sins must not let him leave a drop of blood, otherwise disaster will happen
Even though he hadn't experienced it himself, he knew that the reason why the Legion of the Way of Redemption had been removed from the Templar Order overnight was because they had shed a drop of undeserved blood
The four companions scurried up the staircase
I thought that the old man had some trick, and it seemed that it was a bluff, because the area guarded by Mosa was too smooth, and Ray was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but despise this foreign visitor who even the Pope was afraid of
Yes, I thought there would be a big battle, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, and Sophia nodded yes
Don't you think it's strange that the careful Joyka asked his question, and compared to the strength he showed by trapping us in the dream just now, the old man's appearance just now was too unreasonable, and I always felt that things would not be so simple
If you think too much, maybe he'll only have a few tricks of deceptive illusions, and nothing else, he won't have any fighting power, although Cassius was not without doubts in his heart when he said this, but he preferred to believe his own explanation
I hope so...... After Joyka said this, everyone did not speak again
Soon after, a large stone gate came into the eyes of the companions
When he arrived, Lei shouted happily and quickened his pace and rushed forward
The only remaining two sins are 'jealousy' and 'arrogance', and I don't know what kind of enemy I will meet, Sophia asked
It doesn't matter what his crime is, let's go up together, and directly knock them down, Cassius said
Compared to the eagerness of his companions, Joyka felt more and more uneasy, and he always had to keep an eye on everything he did, and his instincts were more sensitive than the others
When the companions finally rushed to the big stone gate, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and even Joyka, who had been prepared, was so angry that she punched the stone door with a half-open void, and carved a familiar mural and a line of familiar foreign characters on the stone door
Not long ago, they were trapped in the dream world before this mural......
The companions walked into the stone gate with trepidation—and sure enough, what they saw was the familiar scene they had seen just a few minutes earlier—the thin, mysterious old man of the Peacock Empire sitting motionless at the end of the room
The partners worked in vain for a long time and finally returned to the original point.
