Fern finally woke up, but he still felt weak and his head was groggy, so he had to sit on the ground and carefully observe his surroundings. He saw Nigel fall beside him, Enoch and Miluria lying a little farther away, their hands still holding each other, and Fern smiled and pushed the mage beside him.

Nigel was woken up by the mercenary, quickly sat up, and began to cast spells. Fern didn't know what the mage was doing, but he didn't bother to ask, so he simply walked over to the warrior and woke him up.

Enoch drew his sword alertly, looking around. "Is this the warped plane? ”

"I think so, but so far we seem to be safe. Fern shrugged.

The warrior relaxed and nudged the scout slightly, and the girl slowly woke up.

Fern took advantage of Nigel's spell time to make a tour around them. This world was very different from the world they were, the woods were gone, and the four of them were now at the mouth of a cave, which was large and led to the depths, and there was no bottom in sight, only a piece of darkness. Although it was already night, but the outside of the cave was extremely bright, Fern curiously walked out of the cave to explore, and was surprised to find that there were two moons hanging in the sky in this world, and each was ten times the size of their world moon.

"Although it is already a warped plane, we should still be in Blackridge Mountain, but the woods are missing, and some things in this world are different. Fern walked back to the entrance of the cave and sat down beside the mage.

Nigel opened his eyes and looked at the mercenary indifferently. "Looks like we're going to have to go to the cave. ”

Enoch glanced inside the pitch-black cave. "Hell, it doesn't feel good just looking at me. ”

Fern looked inside worriedly, too. "We don't have torches, we have to rely on you, Nigel. ”

"The Light Orb Technique barely consumes my mental energy for me, so you can rest assured, but if anything happens to me, then you will be blind. Nigel raised his right hand, and a ball of light quickly generated, and the mage's hand waved forward, and the ball of light flew into the cave, stopping a hundred yards away from everyone, suspended in mid-air, illuminating the surroundings, and looking through the hole, there was still nothing inside, only the uneven walls of the cave.

"It looks like we won't be able to go all the way for a while, so we'd better be ready to go. Miruria stood up, drew her dagger from her belt, bent down, and walked slowly forward.

Fern also stood up and walked over to the warrior's side. "We don't seem to have anything to prepare, we won't be hungry or thirsty here. ”

"Yes, then let's go, you and Nigel follow Miruria, and I'll break off. The warrior also drew his sword and clenched it tightly with both hands.

Fern glanced at Nigel, and the mage had come over with interest, but was still muttering. "Don't worry, even the time here is not normal, the only thing we have to be careful about is the unknown danger. ”

Fern gave way to Nigel so that he could light the passage ahead of Miruria, and then followed, Enoch took one last look at the bright entrance to the cave, then turned and followed his companion into the dark, bottomless cavern.

The four of them didn't know how long they had walked, and their minds had no concept of time, because they didn't feel hungry or tired, and there was no light in the cave except for Nigel's ball of light. Fern thought from his own experience that they must have been walking all night, and the scout agreed with him, but the cavern was still exactly the same as when they first set out, as if there was no end in sight. Fern had asked Nigel several times how long they would have to go, but the mage just shook his head, slowly replied that he didn't know, and advised the mercenaries not to be in a hurry, it would always come to an end.

It went on like this for a long time, so long that the three people except Nigel even began to think that they would go on like this until they died of old age. Nigel still commanded the orb of light to float twenty yards in front of the scouts, leading the crowd without giving them any explanation. Although they didn't feel fatigue physically, but psychological exhaustion kept coming, and the three of them finally couldn't resist the heavy pressure and decided to rest in place, and the mage didn't say anything, and sat on the ground with them.

"We're not going to be here until we're old and dead. Enoch couldn't stand this journey with no end in sight. "It's better for ten demons to stand in front of me now, and let me die at their hands than this. ”

"Don't worry, you won't die of old age here, because there's no time here. Nigel sat upright, eyes closed.

"It's not going to die of old age, that's worse, if there's no end, aren't we going to go on like this forever?" Enoch almost jumped up from the ground.

"There's going to be an end, Enoch. Fern leaned against the cave wall, his eyes confused at the top of the cave. "Since Ieta sent us here, I'm sure she didn't let us come here to work on our legs. ”

"But where is the end? How long are we going to go? I think we've been walking for five days, but we haven't seen anything, and I'd rather go back and go outside the cave!" Enoch shouted.

"Three days, we've only been gone for three days, maybe more, but not more than four days. Fern closed his eyes tiredly. "It's going to be the end. ”

Miruria pulled the warrior's arm down. "Calm down, Enoch, you can't mess around at this time. ”

"Calm down, how calm am I, the thought of me going to ......" The warrior glanced at the scout's concerned eyes and sighed. "Well, calm down. ”

Nigel, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. "I thought about it! Maybe there's no end to it here. ”

"What?!" all three called out together. "Then what are we doing here, are we really here to die? No, it's not even a death, it's just a ...... I don't know what I'm here for. This time, even Fern couldn't help but yell out.

"Listen to me. Nigel kept waving his hands to calm down the trio in front of him who could almost tear him apart. "I mean there's no fixed end here, but at any point in time, anywhere, there could be an end, or the end will be there. ”

"To put it bluntly, I don't understand!" Enoch shouted, and if it hadn't been for the scout holding him back, the warrior might have taken the mage down with one punch.

The mage was not afraid of him at all, and said slowly, "The end is not there, nor is it here, but it must exist in this endless passage." ”

"Could it be that we've missed it, but there's no end here, how can we know where the end is?" Miruria glanced worriedly to both sides, the darkness that stretched out was bottomless.

"No, you would ask that because you still didn't understand what I was saying. Nigel glanced at Enoch, who had already raised his fist, and with a slight wave of his hand, the ball of light went out, and the passage was suddenly dark, and the warrior couldn't see where the mage was, so he had to curse, and after the warrior finished scolding, the mage's voice still came slowly. "Maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough, this so-called end point cannot be judged by the common sense of our world, in the distorted world here, space and time are distorted, that is, any point will become the end, for example, we are here now, but this is not the end, but if we pass through here at another time, maybe a few hours earlier, maybe a few minutes later, this will be the end. ”

Fern coughed in the darkness. "I seem to see what you mean, but now the question is, how do we find this point?"

"We don't have to look for it, as long as we keep going like this, we will definitely come across that point. The mage's words sent shivers down the spine of everyone, especially in the pitch black cavern.

The scout subconsciously grabbed the warrior's arm. "Nigel, can you cast the Light Orb again, I don't feel good in the dark. Miruria asked timidly.

"Yes. There was smugness in the mage's tone. "But you'll have to make Enoch promise not to raise his fist at me again. ”

Nothing could be seen in the darkness, only a muffled grunt could be heard in the warrior's throat. "Well, I promise, don't shake your fist at you. ”

Suddenly, a light illuminated the passage again, and the ball of light slowly floated and hovered over everyone's heads, and Nigel continued, " To understand this, you have to abandon your previous understanding of space and time, and try to think that there is no road in this world that is normal at all, that every road has no end, that a person walks on a road, he does not feel time, he does not starve, he does not get tired, he just walks until he comes to a point, where space and time meet in some combination, and so the end of the road appears, but not in the form that we understand, maybe a void, sucks the person in, and then releases him from another place, and that place, which is the end of his journey. ”

"Great, so we're going to walk here for hundreds of years, or thousands of years, and we're going to get out. Fern chuckled. "If possible, I'll go out and not destroy the hatchery, but go back to Valdosta and tie Adeline here. ”

"Under normal circumstances, I have to admit that you are right, there is no time here, so it is possible that you will walk tens of thousands of years before you reach the end. Nigel looked at the mercenary with a calm look in his eyes. "However, this will not happen to us, because of the heavy responsibility we have on our shoulders, the Seven will help us, they have the ability to change the order of the warped plane, and I believe that it will not be long before we reach the end. ”

Fern didn't answer the mage's words, but looked at the roof of the cave in silence. Enoch took Miruria's grip on his hand, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of worry and unease.
