Chapter 23: True Intent

readx;? The whole camp fell silent for an instant, and under the hoarse whisper of the witch, countless people felt a layer of ice covering their hearts, heavy and penetrating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info They stared at each other's alter selves with traces of struggle and hesitation in their eyes.

"Don't believe her nonsense!"

Olivia stepped forward and shouted, "I've never heard of the 'Twin Magic Mirror' having such an effect, even if the copied being really kills his own body, he may not be able to get the lifespan of the body!"

She looked around anxiously, constantly persuading the people around her, hoping that they would not be deceived by the witch, but she was responded to by blank, silent, questioning eyes, and even the two Harres, who were originally indifferent, gradually restrained the smile on the corner of their mouths.

The witch's strange sneer rang out in everyone's ears, for no matter how hard the girl tried, no one dared to believe the "truth" she said.

"Why?" she asked, angrily, after a futile end, "why would you rather believe what the witch says than me?"

"Because even if what you say is true, they can't believe it. ā€

"What?"

Miss Merchant turned her head and looked helplessly at the gloomy young man behind her.

If I had been in the same situation, I might have been more willing to believe what she had to say. Ian walked up to her side and said with a calm face, "In this situation, no one dares to leave anything to chance. When they position themselves in the position of 'replicas', between certain and possible deaths, people are more willing to choose the latter. We are not in the same position as them, and as 'outsiders', the words we say are really not very convincing to them. ā€

When all memories and personalities are the same, no one can say for sure that they are necessarily true.

Under such a premise, who would want to accept the reality that they may only have three days to live?

If there is no other option, just wait for the time to pass, and they may be forced to remain silent. However, once they are told that they do not have to face this fear of the unknown as long as they sacrifice another "self", then even if it is a witch who lies a lot of lies who utters this sentence, who will not plant a "seed" in the bottom of their hearts in the face of this life-saving straw and the only hope.

Once these "seeds" are planted, even if they are suppressed by force, they will bend and grow sprouts elsewhere. And as one of the only two beings in the field who have not been affected by the "Twin Magic Mirrors", even if what Olivia says is the absolute truth, in the face of the difference in their respective situations and the proposition of life and death, who would want to believe her inference and deny what the owner of the "Magic Mirror" said?

"Yes, yes, young man, it seems that you understand better than this little girl. The witch complimented in an exaggerated tone, and then whispered to Olivia, in a voice that only she could hear, "Isn't it funny that you told the truth, but no one wants to believe it, little girl?"

"You should understand by now," she whispered, "your 'truth' is too cruel to them. Sometimes, human beings are more willing to believe lies than to face the so-called truth. ā€

Miss Merchant's body trembled uncontrollably, not out of fear of the witch's strangeness, but out of anger at her for playing with humanity and trampling on people's hearts in such a way.

"Don't think you're going to get your way, Sercy. She looked at the sky and couldn't help but cry out angrily, "I know you're here for Crimson, but even if you know that He's in this caravan, even if you can get us all into infighting, you are not destined to find Him, except Martina, even I don't know where He is hidden?"

This sentence exploded like a fireball, and everyone was shocked at this moment, and there was an uproar in the camp.

The guards who fell to the ground widened their eyes in horror. They were tasked with protecting the caravan and following the two ladies of the Red Lotus Temple to transport an extremely important item to the Oracle Island, and then back from the Eastern Regions. They could never have imagined that what they were really transporting would actually be the owner of the Red Lotus Temple, "Crimson", and they could barely believe their ears for a while.

Harris's surprise was beyond words, he really didn't expect his luck to be so good, he chose a caravan at random, and actually encountered an existence that seemed to be a master in the Eastern Regions. In fact, he did have vague suspicions when he knew Martina's identity, but "Crimson" had lived in the Eastern Regions for a long time and had never heard of him coming out and walking, and Miss Olivia looked like a mortal, and there was no flaw at all under the trial of several exchanges, which made him dispel his suspicions.

As for who was the least affected in the entire camp, it was undoubtedly Ian. Long before the wolf plague, through the words revealed by Carlos, he had already guessed that there might be a "sleeping" supreme man hidden in this caravan, and when it comes to Martina, the identity of this supreme man could only be "crimson".

It's just that, as Miss Merchant said, he also didn't find out where the other party was hidden. In addition to wanting to observe the minds of others, this is one of the reasons why he did not choose to do it directly. Because he is no longer the "lonely" kid he was at the beginning, he knows that he is far from mature enough. Unable to be sure when Crimson would wake up, he didn't want to expose his existence until he had to.

After all, there is a gap between the people of the empire and the people of the sinners, although he has no intention of being an enemy of the empire, but who knows what kind of attitude people will have towards him?

After the astonishment, everyone unconsciously looked around, trying to find a figure that looked like "crimson", and just when they found nothing, the witch let out a "giggle" smirk in everyone's ears.

"It's a shame, I've found it. ā€

"What?"

Everyone was in an uproar.

"You don't think I'm using the Twin Mirrors just to play a game, do you?"

At this moment, the witch's smirk was full of unprecedented pleasure.

"There are only two beings that cannot be replicated by the Twin Magic Mirrors, one is the 'Sage' and the other is the Strongest. She said: "Originally, there were two people who were unaffected and gave me a headache for a while, but later, I remembered that I had seen information about this kid." Ian, the rumored Night's Watch in the Northern Regions, the only disciple of His Excellency the Black Sword Saint, and the third Sword Saint in the world. ā€

There was another uproar in the crowd. A small caravan not only hides crimson, but there are also disciples of the Black Sword Saint, which is simply incredible. It's just that while some people are shocked by the news, other people who are smarter have turned their eyes to the businessman who is still standing.

Her face was pale at the moment.

"What are you...... What do you mean?"

As if she had been greatly impacted, she unconsciously asked.

"Don't you realize, little girl?"

The witch smirked.

"You're the crimson of a 'deep sleep'. (To be continued.) )
