Along the way, Leo and Esenas discover two more traps, both small traps placed on the way, and Leo sighs several times at the insidious cunning of the trap arranger.

There was no danger, and the two stepped into the twelfth floor.

The twelfth floor was a mess, with overturned tables, scattered utensils, manuscripts, and rubble rolling everywhere. An unknown liquid that dried up on the floor.

and a man trapped by a myriad of lights.

The creamy yellow light enveloped the man like a cocoon.

Through the translucent light, the man's head was lowered, his weed-like hair grew up to his waist, and the clothes on the ground were gorgeous but not fashionable.

Esenus surveyed his dry skin, crumpled against his shrunken muscles, pale and bloodless.

"Hello. Isenus greeted calmly.

The corpse-like man raised his head, revealing a pair of bright eyes, watching the two of them.

After seeing it for a while, the man greeted him in a hoarse voice: "Hello, young adventurers. ”

"You're the betrayer of the Council of Five?" Isenus walked around casually, sitting on the edge of an overturned table with his arms crossed, his gaze constantly sweeping over every part of the man's body.

The man chuckled, twisted his stiff neck, and said, "It seems that the five of them are not as good at keeping secrets as they themselves think." ”

"It's all serendipity. ”

"Coincidence?" said the man with an ugly smile, "There can be no coincidence in matters involving the gods. ”

"Definitely. Isenus thought about it and nodded in agreement, the more involved things in this world are, the less coincidences there are.

"Is there still a few members of the Council of Five?"

The man confessed his identity in disguise, and Isenas similarly revealed a little information in exchange: "Asterd, Samiha, Evans, Boraz, Hestim." All I know is that these five people are now serving on the Council of Five. ”

The man nodded stiffly: "That's right, it's still the five of them." ”

Immediately, he sighed: "Twenty-five years, it is the first time that someone has broken through the blockade of the five-member council. I'm amazed that these five idiots have been able to lock me down for so long, and I'm amazed that they haven't figured out a solution to the problem for so long. ”

Isenus said quietly: "It's not their credit that they can block you for so long, the goddess of wisdom is the leader." ”

The man's mouth grew in surprise, revealing a mouthful of withered yellow teeth, and said, "Metis, no wonder, with the divine revelation of the Goddess of Wisdom, of course they were able to keep me locked down for so long." ”

"After talking for so long, I still don't know your name?"

"My name is Hugsi. The man said slowly. "It turned out to be the lieutenant of the Chosen One. ”

"I haven't heard of it, I can't find your message at all. Esenus shook her head. He looked up a lot of information about Artisan Town along the way, but he didn't see any information about such a person who had some status no matter how he said it.

"You're not lying to us, are you?" asked Leo appropriately.

Hoggs smiled and said, "They seem to have erased my information cleanly." He slowly stretched out his fingers and pressed them against the light cocoon, and when he touched the light cocoon, that part of his fingers immediately disappeared out of thin air. However, strangely, as his fingers retracted, the missing fingers slowly emerged from the void.

"This light cocoon is not a protection against energy and physics, but a blockade of information, to put it simply, almost all the traces I left in this world are locked in this small light cocoon. Hoggs explained.

"What do you mean?" Leo listened confused, blocking the information?

Isenus stood up, walked to the cocoon, stretched out his right hand to try to touch the cocoon, and said indifferently, "I think I understand what he meant." ”

You get it again?

As the adventure progressed, Leo noticed that the difference in intelligence between him and Isenus became more and more apparent, and now he occasionally remembered how mentally retarded he had been when the two of them first met, and he wanted to dig out the nerve that stored this memory out of his brain.

Isenas hovered his finger one centimeter in front of the light cocoon and said, "Since birth, a person has constantly left traces in this world, physical, or in other people's memories or books. This light cocoon extracted all the traces he left in the world, footprints, hair, names in books, backs in other people's memories, all sealed here. So when he tries to pass through this light cocoon, his body disappears, because there is no information about him in this world, so he will not be revealed. ”

"And then? Hoggs became interested in Isenus and exclaimed, "I now believe that you do have the ability to break through the blockade of Metis." ”

"And then?" "Isenas muttered, "if that's the ability, I'm sure we'll forget it even if we get out of you, right?" ”

Leo was stunned and said, "Isn't this unsolvable?"

"No, it's not an unsolvable puzzle, it's a trap on the fourth level. Esenus replied calmly, then slowly pressed his fingers hovering in front of the light cocoon forward.

"To use an analogy, if you put a gemstone in a box, you throw it into the ocean so that no one else can find it. But you don't want to find it yourself, so you tie it a rope. ”

"This Hoggs is in such a state right now, all his information is sealed in a box and thrown here. He still had an effect on the Council of Five, so the Council of Five tied him a 'rope', and that rope was Asted, remember the look on Old Mo's face when he mentioned the betrayer? He was obviously aware of Hoggs, and the other four did not react to it. ”

As he spoke, Isennus's fingers were already pressed on the light cocoon: "What we have to do now is to build another rope along the rope of Asted." ”

A burst of light pierced the eyes of Isenus and Leo, and they immediately felt the world spin around, as if they had been stuffed into a box and kept shaking. After a long rollercoaster-style vertigo ride, the two fell to a piece of the floor. ”

Leo shook his dizzy head, looked up and struggled to adjust to the dim light, and vaguely saw two figures talking to something.

“... Rest assured, this place is cut off by the divine power of our lord, and the goddess of wisdom will not hear our conversation, unless you voluntarily open your heart to the goddess of wisdom. A figure hidden in a wide robe sat at a table, and Leo could only see him talking outside with his mouth exposed.

Leo looked to the other side and saw that the other one was Hoggs.

At this time, he had short hair that had been carefully groomed, his skin was smooth and full, his hands were anxiously crossed together and rubbing back and forth, and a pair of blue eyes looked worriedly at the mysterious black-robed man opposite.

Does it seem that this is a memory of Hoggs's past?

"The goddess of wisdom is hardly deceived by these appearances, and perhaps in the next second she will be aware of your conspiracy. ”

Leo heard your words clearly, and couldn't help but keep an eye on him.

The black-robed man smiled lowly and said, "Don't be so fearful of the gods, the gods are not omnipotent, at least not the goddesses of wisdom, they are at most powerful and special high-level life forms, and they are far from the real gods." ”

"And what about the god behind you? Isn't he also a life of this level? He's just a little stronger, how can he guarantee that he can hide from the eyes of the goddess?"

The black-robed man's words did not dispel Hoggs's worries, but made him twist his body even more uneasily.

The black-robed man spat disdainfully and said, "Don't compare a small thing like the goddess of wisdom with my gods, my gods are only one step away from stepping into that great ranks, not to mention that this operation is accompanied by the god of lies and the god of trickery, no matter how smart the goddess of wisdom is, it is impossible to resist the three gods joining forces." ”

Hoggs's expression relaxed. The gods of lies and trickery also have a great deal of weight in the world, especially among some nobles and sewer professions, and although the believers are not as broad as the goddess of wisdom, the size of the church is not small at all. Coupled with the gods behind the black-robed man, he won't fail no matter what.

"What do I need to do?" Hoggs asked respectfully.

Although he is the lieutenant of the Chosen One, a veritable second-in-command under the Goddess of Wisdom, and his status is much higher than that of this black-robed man, in terms of the resources he actually controls, he is not even more than half of his family.

The black-robed man carefully took out a box from his sleeve, which was covered with intricate patterns, and a bright seal wrapped the opening of the box.

Hoggs looked at the solemn demeanor of the black-robed man, and unconsciously got up cautiously and took the box.

"This box contains a spatial coordinates, you just need to open it in a place that is absolutely safe. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that. A bewitching smile appeared on the black-robed man's exposed face. "As long as you open it, my lord will be satisfied with everything you want. ”

Hoggs grabbed the box, closed his eyes, and ran his fingers back and forth on it, and finally, he made up his mind.

"Okay, I promise you. ”

By the time Hogues had finished saying this, his surroundings began to change again, and Leo felt a feeling of being overweight, as if his body was flying towards the sky, and then he slammed into a ceiling.

Leo held his head, his eyes blurred around him, and some tears involuntarily flowed out of his eyes, it was not a good feeling to hit the ceiling abruptly, this tear was completely a stress reaction.

It seemed to be the twelfth floor of the tower, but it wasn't quite the same as when they came in.

The tables around him were still neatly arranged, with all kinds of precious metals and experimental equipment placed on the table, and Leo could see Hoggs standing in the center with a box at a glance.

At this time, he had just opened the light seal on the box, and a small ball of light rolled out of the box.

Hoges picked up the ball of light, stared at it and muttered, "These are the spatial coordinates?"

However, at this time, the mutation suddenly appeared, and countless shoots grew into the ball of light and wrapped around Hoggs's arm, rising and shrinking, frantically absorbing Hoggs's blood, and Hoggs's skin also became pale and withered.

Hoges let out a scream, his hands slamming against the ground and the wall, desperately trying to get the ball of light that had changed.

However, this ball of light was stubbornly abnormal, and not only did it show no signs of falling off, but instead accelerated the frequency of absorption.

Hoggs finally relented, pulled a short knife from his waist with his left hand, and slashed at his right arm.

It's a pity that his action was too late, and two shoots separated from the ball of light, easily blocking the knife.

As Hoggs struggled with the orb of light, the door suddenly opened, and two guards rushed in.

The guard was visibly taken aback, and asked with concern, "Master Hoggs, what's wrong with you, do you need our help?"

Hoggs breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned the two guards, stretched out his right hand, and shouted eagerly, "Help me get rid of this!"

However, before the two guards could step forward, a figure emerged from the void, and as soon as he saw his one-sided gold-plated glasses, Leo immediately recognized that this was none other than Asted, who was in charge of trade.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Astrid was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the ball of light in Hoggs's hand with an angry face: "What is this? Hogs? A spatial tearing intruder?"

Spatial Ripper Intruder?Hoggs froze.

"I, I was fooled?" Hoggs muttered to himself.

When things went beyond Hoggs's expectations, he was not worried about the repercussions, but worried that he had been fooled.

Astrid laughed angrily, glared at Hoges fiercely, and said to the two guards, "Watch him, if you let him run before I come back, you two will wait!"

Just as Asted was about to turn to leave, he suddenly looked at Leo and the others who were standing by the wall watching the play.

"Who are you two? I don't know you, how did you get here?"

Leo was taken aback, he thought that they were just spectators and would not have an effect on this person in similar memories, but he did not expect that this young Astrid would be able to interact with them.

Esenas gently tugged at Leo's clothes and whispered, "Run, we've fallen into a trap." ”

"How do you run?"

"Remember the kingdom of God? Just think about getting out and running forward. ”

Leo and Esenas ignored Asterd's questioning behind them, and ran out of the stairs, strange to say, after Aster noticed them, everyone in the tower seemed to be able to see them, and from time to time guards were ordered to hunt them down.

Leo and Esenas ran faster and faster, and the characters and sights around them gradually blurred again, until they stepped into the air and fell down with a sense of weightlessness.

After a long spin, the two finally landed on the ground.

Hoggs was grinning and looking at the two of them with a smile, "How many do you see?"

Leo sat up and shook his head gently, his head being hit one after another made him a little dizzy, and he replied angrily, "I see you're going to be caught." ”

Hoggs let out an "oh": "I see the key point." ”

Esenas didn't have the heart to chat with Hoggs, so he picked up Leo and was about to run out: "Let's go, we were discovered by Asterd." ”

"Just because of the picture just now?"

"That's right, that's the trap that must be hit by the fourth layer of misdirection. Esenus nodded affirmatively. "Remember when I said that Astrid was the rope that made sure the box didn't fall into the sea? we crossed paths with this rope when we first peeked into the secret, so he noticed us, and it won't be long before they come, and even the whole town will be locked down by a security level. ”

"Ahh Hoggs, sitting in the light cocoon, shook his fingers slightly. "You're not going to be able to get out like that. Since you saw that I was about to be arrested, you must have seen the way Astrid appeared, right? At that time, this town was set up by Master Pedido of the Space Labyrinth, and only the Council of Five had the authority to use this space protection net to move freely in Artisan Town. Presumably this is in the process of requesting permissions. Let's guess how long he'll be there? two minutes? or a minute?"

Leo's face changed, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, once he was discovered by Asterd, although he still wore a mask on his face, but once he was dragged by Asterd, the fact that they were not at the residence was easily discovered under the high security level.

"What to do, Isenus?"

Esenas glanced at Leo calmly and sarcastically, "You can't be the memory of a fish, do you?" Why else would I take you out?"

Leo had a look of shame on his face, he really forgot about it, and with a red face, he pulled up Izenus, stimulated the fruit energy in his body, and disappeared into a burst of spatial ripples.
