Chapter 013: The Sea of Phantom Trees VIII

Zhen Shifeng looked at the thin-faced tree spirit as he spoke, but his eyes were much colder, "According to the two of them, there was once a powerful mage who set up a magic circle on the tomb, and used the bell left in the forest by the knight as a treasure to suppress demons and activate the magic circle, but in the end, the bell was captured by the king's evil thoughts, the magic circle failed, and the bell was nowhere to be found. Am I right? ”

"That's true." The skinny face tree spirit nodded coldly. Zhen Shifeng then asked, "Then how did you learn about this rumor?" ”

"Heh, but what happens in the forest naturally can't escape the eyes of our tree spirits, this is not a ......... at all" Fat Face suddenly stopped halfway through the answer, and after a moment of hesitation, it still didn't continue. But Zhen Shifeng had already got what he needed, so he immediately turned the topic aside and asked, "Little beauty, have you noticed that the fragrance here is different from that in the forest?" ”

"Different?" Curling through his nose and sniffing lightly, "Uh...... It seems to be thicker than the one in the woods...... Didn't I say stop calling me a little beauty! ”

Zhen Shifeng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and continued: "In fact, the deeper you go into the tomb, the stronger the aroma becomes, and the magic circle has reached its limit, although it is not easy to detect, but if you smell it carefully, you can find something abnormal. ”

"Cousin, what do you mean...... The source of these aromas is from the circle? ”

"No, if the source is really a magic circle, then the surrounding aroma must be several times stronger, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to detect. As far as I suspect, it must have been the exorcism of the circle that caused some of the mechanisms that controlled the concentration of the aroma to be ineffective, so that the aroma returned to its normal concentration. ”

"Some kind of mechanism? The more I listened, the more confused I became. Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly.

"I mean there's something in the forest that can't be seen with the naked eye, maybe it's a big vacuum cleaner that hangs over the entire area, or maybe some kind of super-powerful spell with a special function. In short, it can adjust the concentration of aromas in the forest at will, so that the person who enters the forest can be tricked without warning. ”

"But the magic circle on the post is a demon-suppressing thing, and its own exorcism characteristics will naturally make this mechanism useless, so this situation is caused now."

"What does this have to do with the Demon Suppression Bell for a long time, human, if you want to use this to delay time in order to find a way out, then you are very wrong." Fat Face couldn't help but threaten.

"Hehe, since that's the case, let's talk about this demon bell." Zhen Shifeng straightened his clothes, as if he had a bow tied around his neck, "Just like the kind of mechanism I just said, the bell that also has exorcism properties should also have this effect." But in reality, the opposite is true, and instead of increasing, the surrounding aroma concentration decreases dramatically, which is the result of triggering the adjustment mechanism. ”

"In other words, the Demon Suppression Bell has no exorcism effect, let alone a treasure of Demon Suppression?" The curly girl nodded thoughtfully.

"The girl is really smart, and this is the most important thing in the whole reasoning process."

"Even if so? This doesn't mean that the Demon Suppression Bell is an evil thing. Thin Face couldn't help but retort.

Seeing this, Zhen Shifeng changed his beard again, and once again ripped off the topic and said, "I wonder if you two still remember what I just said about the essence and living habits of tree spirits?" ”

"That's just a lie, how can you, a human, understand the nature of our tree spirits?"

"Well, even if I'm talking nonsense, I'm right about one thing, it's not that you can't approach the grave, but you don't dare to approach it. As for why you don't dare, hmph, I'm afraid it has something to do with the exorcism properties of the circle, right? ”

"You ........." This brainwashing reasoning really worked, and the fat and thin face really didn't know how to fight back, so they had to keep repeating things like "these are your guesses".

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhen Shifeng launched the final serial bombardment, "Next, we might as well make an assumption." Suppose the two of you are unable to approach the circle for your own reasons, so you have entrusted the unaffected humans with the task of activating the circle. But all of this is a trap, and the Demon Suppression Bell is really an evil thing, and once it comes into contact with the circle, it will completely eliminate the exorcism properties in the circle. So you guess a whole bunch of lies have been woven to lure us in order to use us as pawns in order to accomplish what you cannot do. ”

"Of course, the above is just a hypothesis, but the key to making the hypothesis valid, is to prove that the Demon Suppression Bell is actually an evil thing." "As mentioned before, the two of them know the situation in the forest well, so they must know where the Demon Suppression Bell is.

However, the reality is that you do not know this, otherwise it would not have been possible to hide the location of the bell at the time of commissioning. So the question is, why can't the omniscient dryad even detect the location of a bell? The reason for this is simple, because there is a circle around the bell, which distorts your ability to see. This shows that the bell was not captured by resentment, but that the mage deliberately sealed it somewhere. But why did the mage deliberately seal the demon suppression bell? That's because the bell is not harmless, but is actually the product of evil that the knight's grudge has turned into. ”

"This can prove the assumptions you have made before, and everything you say is a lie, and there is only one purpose, that is, to use the magic of the bell to completely eliminate the magic circle by using the hands of humans, after all, the magic of this bell is even difficult to suppress the sealing array, and it is easier to destroy a magic circle than to drink saliva. Am I right, two? ”

Speaking of which, Zhen Shifeng's serial bombardment can be regarded as over. Everyone at the scene was speechless, their eyes widened, and even their jaws fell to the ground. At this moment, they just want to say one thing: "I don't understand it, but it sounds amazing." ”

In fact, Zhen Shifeng's reasoning has serious logical errors. A closer look reveals that he actually used the latter reasoning to verify the truth of the previous reasoning, and thus came to the so-called 'correct' conclusion. But the reasoning is also a hypothesis, and there is no real basis for it. Therefore, if a hypothesis is used to test a hypothesis, the result obtained is still a hypothesis, and there are serious multilateral problems in the logical relationship between the two.

That said, the flexibility of the reverse thinking mechanism is not a high level for everyone. In other words, normal people can't jump out of this logical relationship in a short period of time, and their subconscious still thinks that the result is correct. In layman's terms, they were actually stunned by Zhen Shifeng's serial bombardment.

Sure enough, after being brainwashed by logical thinking, the skinny face tree spirit still told the truth: "I didn't expect you to be the first guy to see the mystery of this, and you are still a human being, hmph, this is simply an irony for us." ”

"Oh, you admit it?" Zhen Shifeng hurriedly asked.

"Yes, we're not treads, and the bell isn't a demon-slaying treasure."

"Hehe, the actual situation is exactly what I guessed. So......" Zhen Shifeng first muttered to himself in his heart, and then he poked the enemy in front of him with his empty finger, and said with a smile: "Things have come to this point, you two don't need to disguise anymore, queen and knight!" ”
