Chapter 28: The Labyrinth
"Long time no see. ”
The Countess did not anticipate Indra's return, and while this could be explained, she had not expected such a thing to happen at all.
"Sumo is dead. ”
Indra looked tired, and he made no secret of his terrible state, not only did he speak weakly, but his expression was full of pain.
"It's a shame......"
"That's none of your business," Indra waved his hand to let the weeping Gandharva go, "it's the price to pay for my return, but despite this, I've lost all my memories of my time before I died, and my strength hasn't fully recovered." ”
The hall was calm again, and without Gandharva, it seemed extremely empty, and the air was still filled with the fragrance of Sumo wine, but without Sumo, the smell seemed cold and bland.
"The austerity must continue, we have already paid too much for us to fail, otherwise it will all be in vain. ”
The countess nodded: "I've had a day off. ”
"Let's go, although I haven't recovered yet, the Asura shouldn't appear again. ”
Indra walked out of the ownerless courtyard and stood on the edge of the cliff and opened the gate.
The Countess followed the god of thunderstorms and walked through the door.
The light flickered, and in front of her was another vast realm of the gods, but unlike anything before it, it seemed to be vast.
"This is a borderless land, and I didn't want to bring you here so early, but now that the Asura is pressing, we don't have much time. ”
Indra sighed, and there was a lot of emotion in his tone, mostly nostalgia.
"The ascetic practice has not yet succeeded, and Lord Shiva has not yet waited for the power of the Dharma, and all hope is in you. ”
The countess nodded, but said nothing.
Although Indra only said a few words, there was already a lot of information revealed in it.
For example, he forgot everything that happened before he died.
Although it seemed careless, the countess was sure that it was a lie that Indra deliberately told to reassure her, although it was extremely simple for the three supreme gods to instill memories into a god, but if Indra really lost his memory, he would not mention it in front of the countess - one was the pride of the gods, and the other was unnecessary.
And the so-called "hope is all in you" almost confirms that Magellan has indeed fallen into the hands of Asura.
The countess had a premonition of this, and she had left a magic on Magellan, and she had always been able to learn some basic information, except for the time when Magellan was in the Dragon Country, that magic had been working normally.
And not so long ago, this magic failed.
The gods were still jealous, and the countess was not worried about Indra, but she did not know what the Asura had in mind for Magellan.
But that doesn't matter.
The countess threw her tumultuous thoughts behind and stood by Indra's side.
The death of the King of the Celestials is just the beginning, and in return for the threat of the gods, the Countess is ready to bury all the gods, and that day will not be too far off.
"The rules of the game, and the content. ”
"It's a labyrinth. ”
Indra raised a hand, and the power of the gods spread, taking him and the countess into the sky with him.
From the very high vantage points, you can see the whole of this vast field, a vast complex of buildings surrounded by trees, dense forests and walls that divide the flat meadows into pieces, and at a glance there is hardly a smooth road, only a complex man-made landscape that is dazzling.
"Inside the labyrinth there was a powerful artifact, which was the reward of an ascetic, but the ascetic was ruined by the ascetic and died before he could use it. Indra took the Countess with him and flew towards the entrance of the labyrinth, "Although Lord Shiva told him that he could exchange the reward of asceticism for life, the ascetic believed that his death was a proper reward for the Dharma and sealed this artifact here. ”
"Can anyone who can go through the labyrinth and get the artifact use it?"
"No," Indra shook her head, "no one can use that artifact, except for the ascetics who are already dead. He hid the artifact in the labyrinth to isolate the greed of the gods and mortals. ”
"What do I need to do?"
Indra and the Countess landed at the entrance of the labyrinth, in front of the dense forest path, in the middle of the tall trees grew bushes, tightly huddled together, and there was no road in between.
"There's also a group of gods waiting at the entrance on the other side of the labyrinth, it's a game, if you get the artifact before them, you win. ”
The countess smiled.
"Anything else?"
"No more. ”
Indra stood on the path and sighed with a wry smile: "I once wanted to enter the labyrinth, get the artifact, and use its power to fight the asuras. ”
The countess didn't say anything and walked into the forest.
......
"I throw in the towel. ”
Rahu looked at the endgame in the crystal and waved his hand helplessly.
Although Magellan had declared victory a long time ago, Asura never gave up, and he did see an opportunity for victory, but failed to seize it once.
The whole course of the war was carried out almost entirely according to Magellan's prediction, which made Rahu almost despair.
Of course, this also means that most of the time, the sights in the crystal are extremely boring.
"When did you ......?"
"When I saw the topography of these kingdoms," Magellan smiled as he watched the grand celebration of the White Kingdom, which had just completed the horse sacrifice in the crystal, "I was convinced that there would be no real war between such nations at all, and that in the midst of primitive man's arms, the individual would be the easiest to shine." ”
Rahu smiled helplessly.
That's the gibberish of a winner, and even if you have countless reasons to prove him wrong, you can't say anything as a loser now.
"It's dinner time. ”
Magellan turned in surprise to look at the sky, then stood up.
"It took less time than I thought it was, and that magic was so powerful. ”
The first time Rahu heard the word "magic", he was a little surprised, this word is indeed very appropriate, the kind of power that can speed up time is indeed a powerful spell that only demons like Asura can use.
"In order to get the austerity done as soon as possible, we will do whatever it takes. ”
This was the pride of the asuras, and Rahu was confident that the three supreme gods would understand the sacrifices that the asuras had made for them and would reward them with a fair amount of reward.
"When the ascetic is complete, will the three supreme gods appear before me?"
"Yes. ”
Rahu was a little surprised, he didn't know what this mortal wanted to say.
