There is no darkness in the temple of light, it is always in the light, and no evil under the light can invade here, and the god of light has a strange place, he will never sleep, will not sleep.

Valkyrie tapped on the throne of the temple on one side of the armrest, and after a short time he got up and walked to the center of the main hall, looking at the people outside the main hall, in addition to his companions, and several strangers.

Outside the main hall, Taylor and Polina noticed something strange, and Polina exclaimed, "Look, we don't even have a shadow." ”

Bartlet explained to the two girls. "There is no darkness where the god of light is, not even the slightest darkness, and there is no surprise that shadows certainly do not exist here. ”

Entering the main hall, Bartlet immediately introduced the two, and then Bartlet explained his intentions, much to Valkyrie's anger. "Bartlet, we are partners, and you want to give away my head to someone else, are you crazy?"

It seems that his companion made the same mistake as himself, and he patiently explained it to the other party, and made a copy with the emblem, and soon after, a new god of light appeared, much to Valkyrie's surprise, as the new Valkyrie couldn't tell the real from the fake.

"Look, that's the power of technology. Bartlet's admiration for this new power, although only scratching the surface, can imagine the power of technology.

Plucking off the head and giving it to the young man, the two of them left and headed for the next place, but Bartlet had something quite curious. "You mentioned your chief, who is he?"

"You'd better not know, because my boss isn't as approachable as I am. Tang Ning thought about the person behind the scenes, the other party is indeed not very approachable, or this should be a common problem in that world, whether it is the King of Hurricanes, or the Lord of Darkness, or the current black hand behind the scenes, they are all quite shady and cruel.

"Don't be like that, he should always be kind to his allies. Bartlett presented himself as an ally of Downing. "You should introduce us to it. ”

"You'll see you when you have to. Tang Ning could only use this sentence to prevaricate, because even he had not seen the other party's figure at present, and he was also very curious.

Then I visited a few temples, and got the heads of those gods from those temples, a total of five, which was enough, according to Phoenix, that crown only needed to kill five people to completely make the bearer lose his mind and become a complete demon.

With the five god heads, Tangning returned to Phoenix's residence, at this moment Phoenix's condition has been alleviated a lot, but the state is obviously not very good, when he saw the human head, Phoenix was surprised: "Those guys who are as arrogant as roosters are willing to lend you human heads, it's really surprising." ”

Previously, Downing only said that he would get the head, but did not explain how to get the head, the purpose of this is so that Phoenix will not be timid in the process of acting because it is a fake head, and it is of course best to avoid some small episodes at this time.

"Or that they're not as strong as I am, you know, when they start targeting each other, they reveal weaknesses that can be used to defeat them, just as I defeated the mystical organizations of the mortal world, and their weaknesses make them vulnerable. ”

"Okay, then now I'm going to meet the damn guy with these heads, you wait here patiently, I'll come back and let you know when he wants to see you, but at that point you need to be ready for a fight. Phoenix put on his coat, picked up his outfit, and left the room.

"Do you think he's worth trusting?" said Polina, looking at her back as she disappeared into the night. "People who make mistakes are usually addicted, just like men like to steal food, and most creatures in this world are like this, when they make a mistake once and taste the sweetness, they will continue to make mistakes in exchange for more benefits. ”

This is true, but it seems that this kind of thing is not convincing enough to use men as an example, cats are more suitable, and when cats have tried to steal the taste of fish, they will not stop, this is nature.

Polina's worries were not unreasonable, Downing sat in the room looking at the empty table, he didn't trust anyone before, he only believed in himself, and now after being with Taylor, he found that he no longer had the same insistence as he had been, and shrugged. "We have no other way but to believe in him, it's the only way, you say, Taylor. ”

Taylor also looked at the back of the old man who disappeared into the night. "In this case, if he lies and makes a mistake and then only gets the benefit, he will indeed get caught up in it, and he will not be able to extricate himself, and it will become a habit that if he does not lie, he will feel uncomfortable, but if he is punished, then he will have to say something else. ”

"Cats do steal fish, men are no exception, but if he is punished for stealing or lying, this law will not apply, when the cat steals fishy with a feather duster to beat him, when it sees fish in the future, it will always think of the feather duster, if a man steals, when he loses his beloved, his wife and children leave him, then he will also begin to reflect, what he gets is proportional to what he loses. ”

"Phoenix used to get some benefits, but then he got some punishment, and the other party didn't treat him as a friend or partner, just a dog, don't be so shady, we have to give him a chance before then, and trust him unconditionally. ”

Taylor is right, unconditionally believing that he is the only thing he can do now, if Phoenix is still on the other side's side in the end, then there is nothing to be done, human nature is complicated, and no one can say well.

Just as they guessed, Phoenix, who was walking in the wasteland at the moment, was also thinking that if he chose to believe in his partner, the dark shadow should reward himself and punish the young man and his two female companions, but it was impossible to predict how much reward he would get, maybe it was just a verbal reward, or it could be accepting himself and making himself a real partner.

In short, it is too early to say anything, everything is unknown, but if he chooses to believe the young man, what can he gain.

This is an important point, no matter what choice you make depends on what you get, for now, the young man is not promising himself any benefits, but choosing a young man can make the black shadow receive punishment, which can be regarded as the black shadow's revenge for hurting himself.

He was a little annoyed by the fact that the little dark room was approaching in the enchanting night, and he had to make a decision before entering the dark room.

Walked all the way to the black house, Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, and then pushed the door in, this small black house was in the wilderness, only he could see, the rest of the people could not find anything here, and only he could push the door in.

Entering the dark room, he sat down in his own chair, and then lit the candle, the candle flickered, and he placed the box containing the human head on the ground, waiting for the person to come.

Soon after, the candlelight flickered even harder, and the door of the small dark room opened again, and a black shadow came in through the doorway and floated onto the wall, twisted and hideous. "Phoenix, there must be something important about calling me frequently, don't say it yet, let me guess, it must be about that young man. ”

"The boss is wise. Phoenix got up, his head bowed, like a dutiful servant. "I found the young man and talked to him. ”

The shadow began to become more ethereal, fluttering on the four walls of the small black room, and after several turns, it finally resettled on the wall facing Phoenix. "The result?"

"It didn't turn out to be ideal, and he was clever enough to surpass my imagination and discover the secret of the crown. Phoenix still kept his head down, his voice respectful.

The black shadow was silent for a while, and his voice was a little cold. "Phoenix, raise your head, look into my eyes, don't keep your head down, you're not my slave. ”

Phoenix looked up, and two green eyes appeared in the dark shadow on the wall, their eyes emitting a strange light, staring at the old man tightly.

Others may not feel it, but Phoenix can feel a force rushing from his body, starting to flow through his body, and finally into his brain and heart, as if searching for his heart and brain, as if his brain and all the thoughts in his heart are known to the other party, and there is no secret to it.

After a long time, the dark shadow's voice finally became much kinder. "It seems that you have not deceived me, I have just seen your inner world, smooth and powerful, without any abnormal changes. ”

Phoenix's body finally relaxed, as Midori's gaze had disappeared from the wall, and he bowed his head in a respectful tone. "Of course, I won't deceive you, because the price of deceiving you is quite miserable, I tried last time, but I don't agree with what you said just now, I am indeed your slave. ”

The shadow flickered for a moment, and then its voice became softer, as if it were saying something to its own child at the moment. "Phoenix, I'm sorry for what happened that day, I found myself a little too harsh afterwards, I'm sure you and I are partners, not a master-servant relationship, and I apologize if you feel uncomfortable. ”

Phoenix was a little surprised that the other party actually apologized to him, and the anger he had held back disappeared without a trace. "Thank you for your candor. ”

The dark shadow continued to ask, "So let's continue the topic just now, you said that the other party discovered the secret of the crown, and then, what happened?"

Phoenix continued. Then he made the astonishing decision to take the crown without the slightest hesitation or hesitation. ”

The shadow laughed maniacally. "I kind of like this young man, he always does things unexpectedly, at least I didn't expect him to choose to take the crown after learning the secret. ”

"I was also a little surprised. Phoenix bowed his head slightly. "So I asked him, why did you take this crown that would be a threat to you, when you know the secret?"

The dark shadow seemed interested, and for a moment it became quiet, and its voice was faint. "How did he answer?"
