The cold wind from the ground ripped the corners and hair of the boys, and even the brave Yuri and Kayl shivered, and the princess's tears could not be stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The prince said, "Lone thinks that something terrible must have happened here. ”

The holy book on Yuri's waist was uneasy: "That's right, there was once a great amount of dark power left here. ”

The princess bit her lip lightly to regain her senses: "What kind of existence is it, once left at the bottom of the abyss to keep whispering, fortunately there is a return hourglass, we must figure it out." ”

"Is that okay? Flora. Yuri asked with concern.

The princess nodded firmly, crouched down and placed the refluxing hourglass shaking the colorful sand on the ground.

As the sand flowed from the bottom to the top, the surrounding landscape quickly changed, and the lush plants on the altar quickly turned back into seedlings and eventually retracted into the soil, leaving only a lifeless glass floor, and then the original existence at the bottom of the abyss returned to the distance, and the indentations in the floor gradually filled with a cold blue light.

The princess said in surprise: "This sealing array, it's ......"

"The blue magnificent enchantment. "It's just a condensed version of the barrier, with a smaller scope and a stronger sealing ability." ”

That's right, after the war of light and darkness, the gods placed magic devices in the four realms of the forest where the elves lived, and there were a total of eight magic nodes, which were located in the Jingming River, the River of No Return, the Three Temples of the Sun, Moon and Stars, the top of the world tree of Sorantiel, the top of the lone wolf peak of Muntia, and the coast of the morning light.

And the enchantment that existed on this altar was also an octagonal magic array with the same rules and complexities.

The prince was surprised: "What exactly was sealed here before?"

The illusion of the flight finally froze, and the time came to more than ten years ago, from the moment the group of human girls were brought here, in the normal chronological order, in front of the three teenagers, a story that shocked their souls.

About twenty human girls, ragged and shackled, tearfully and fearfully descended the stairs down the underground prison under the threat of the spears of the Moon Elf soldiers, and among them, the young girl known as "Sister Layla" made the princess and Prince Khail's eyes widen.

Because she looks exactly like the witch in black.

Yuri was also surprised, but the reason for his surprise was different, he remembered that when he and Teacher Qiao Luya crusaded against the bandits to rescue the kidnapped girl, he had seen Layla's missing person notice on the city wall, and this girl was one of the girls who could not be found in the end.

Unlike the other crying girls, Layla was more calm, would tear her sleeves to bandage her companions, would comfort the other girls not to be afraid, and would summon up the courage to ask the soldiers in a loud voice: "What the hell brought us here!"

"Don't be nervous. "It is only a little test to choose the most outstanding among you," said the great figure in the regent, whose eyes shone with an inhuman coldness, as if he were facing a herd of animals rather than living humans. ”

"What are you capable of?" said Layla.

"Magically powerful. The regent said indifferently, and then walked away.

But the so-called little test, the first one, is enough to threaten the life of the trapped girl.

Girls who are held at the bottom of the prison are denied any food. If you do nothing, you will end up starving to death in a cell because of lack of food.

Layla grabbed the iron pillar and used her remaining physical strength to protest desperately: "Starve everyone to death, the dead can't do anything for you, can they!"

"But guys like you, even if you live, have no value. ”

"Then what the hell is it necessary to give us something to eat!"

The regent sipped the steak into his mouth while tasting the wine: "As I said, the only way to get food is to offer light." ”

"What the hell is this!" Layla thumped the iron bar, "what do you mean!"

Layla is by no means the most perceptive girl, and there is a girl who is enlightened earlier than she is under extreme hunger.

"I'm so hungry that I can barely see anything. The girl was in an abnormal ecstasy, "I almost lost a little light." So it occurred to me that the meaning of offering light is to offer your eyes. ”

Layla watched in astonishment as the girl pointed a sharp ore into her eyes, and with great joy and willingness, she wanted to pierce those beautiful eyes, and said weakly, "You...... Stop, don't ...... Mess around!"

But the girl still insisted on blinding her own eyes with an ore, and lost her light forever.

And the door of the cell, which had been kept closed, was opened as promised.

The other girls felt not horror, but envy, because for everyone who is on the verge of dying, every meal is indeed much more important than seeing the bright eyes, leaving a pair of eyes will not keep you alive, not to mention that hunger will lead to blindness sooner or later.

Only Layla hugged her knees and muttered, "This is not normal, this is absolutely not normal." ”

The blind girl with her eyes sniffed the smell of food and crawled forward on the ground, full of joy and hope, trying to move forward in the direction of survival.

Layla prays to the god of light, "Lady Faruna, the most beautiful and good, if your light can shine on this hell, please at least bless this girl who sacrificed her eyes to live, and be able to fill her stomach as she wished!

Before the silent prayer was finished, the girl's figure disappeared, and Layla's eyes widened, but there was no trace of her anywhere, only the exclamation of her falling, which slowly sank into the ground, and finally stopped abruptly after a muffled sound.

Layla's long dried tears burst out of her eyes: "Why! Why is there a cliff on the narrow stone beam leading to food! Why use the cliff to kill a girl who can no longer be seen by offering the light, and you can get food by offering the light!"

"I'm only responsible for writing the questions, not teaching you how to answer them. The Lord Regent said coldly, "To die means to tell you that this is not the right solution." ”

Many people have tried to cross the cliff in various ways, but all have failed.

However, a girl in the next cell gave the correct answer.

"We can work together to get through the cliffs, don't look at me, I used to be a good mountaineer, I used to pick mushrooms on the cliffs, and even if I was blind, I could find a way to jump over the cliffs. ”

The girl encouraged her friend with vigor, and the friend said suspiciously, "Can you really jump over?"

"If it's an ultra-wide cliff that you can't jump over, it's impossible to pass through it without giving your light. But our captors have said that this is a test, and since it is a test, it cannot be an unsolvable problem. ”

The girl patted her friend on the shoulder: "I will pounce and act as a bridge for you, you step on my body and walk over the cliff, and then bring back what you eat, and we can all be saved." ”

The friend plucked up the courage to agree to the girl's proposal, and did not see the girl's hands hidden behind her back, holding a sharp piece of amethyst ore.

The two walked out of the prison door, and the girl turned around and stabbed the ore into her friend's eye socket.

Like a wild beast, she gouged out the eyeballs of her friends who were fainting in pain, held them coldly in her hands, and a cruel smile hung on the corner of her mouth: "I gave the light as a price! Yes, although these eyes are not mine, the person who wrote the question did not point out that the light that was offered belonged to 'me'. ”

The Lord Regent smiled with amusement as he watched the girl nimble over the cliff and begin to gobble down the food on the other side.

In the end, the girl did not return to her original cell, but was promoted to a cell that was one level higher than her original position. Of course, there were already a lot of girls who stayed there, and unlike the cells on the ground floor, they seemed to be more distant from human nature, and their eyes and smiles had long been a little more cruel and demonic.

Layla finally understands that the Prince Regent wants to select through the test is not who is braver and more resolute at all.

Instead, I want to pick out the ruthless ones among these abducted and trafficked girls, and screen them layer by layer, so as to get the final one, who has the darkest heart and the purest evil survivor.

The young girl was proud and unstoppable, and hummed a song with food, and walked towards the high cell, and when she passed the iron window where Layla was, Layla said sadly and disdainfully, "What is there to be proud of?"

"What did you say?" said the young man paused.

"Meanness has earned a chance, but don't forget. Layla pointed to the upper cell and sneered, "Everyone who lives on it is a person who has passed the first test, and they are all your predecessors in terms of despicability, maybe in their eyes, you are just this dish in your hand, so proud, aren't you afraid that you will be plotted to death immediately by others in the next level?"

The girl's pupils shrank a little, and she said with a twisted hideous: "Damn! What are you talking about!"

Layla retracted into her cell, "Tell me the truth. If you don't accept it, come and beat me up. I'm sorry I forgot, you've been upgraded, and you don't live in the ground cell of our starving ghosts. ”

Annoyed, the girl picked up the raw potatoes and pods in her hand and smashed them at Layla: "What do you know! Damn you, how dare you sarcastically mock me in such a lively tone! What do you think kindness can bring you in a place like this! This is hell! Being kind in hell will only make you die early! Look, you'll be beating your heads for these potatoes!"

After saying that, the girl's hair fluttered, and she strode away arrogantly.
