Chapter 45: The Secret Audience

Leaving the village and crossing a barren field, it is the entrance to the verdant mountains, the legend of the villagers and the words of Hotaru still have a certain degree of similarity, and the two are not exclusive, being bewitched or tempted, seeing some illusions and being used, as a puppet-like existence, are the ways in which the gods drive humans, not to mention whether this god is an outsider like Ciel, but in terms of the way it drives humans, its interest is still very similar to the so-called gods born later in this world.

Walking into the forest, the sky darkened, now it should be the afternoon, when the sun is the fullest, but the trees of the forest block most of the light outside, only a few very rare beams of light can break through the layers of green leaves of the trees, scattered to the mountain path covered with dead leaves, this path because no one has walked for a long time, there is not much difference from any place in the forest, vines, flowers, meadows, mushrooms, as long as there are elsewhere in the forest, there are all here, except for those timid animals all hidden, peeking at the three tall giants of Feiyue in some unobtrusive corner。

Fei Yue also has memories of the location of Hotaru's family, but after all, Fei Yue is the first time to arrive, and Hotaru has already come, so it is Hotaru who leads the way, and it seems that the god has noticed the arrival of the group, out of politeness, Fei Yue has not been hindered in any way, or the god also understands in his heart that even if he obstructs Fei Yue and his party, it will not help, it is better to show some sincerity.

"Mother, there are ghosts here, we need to be careful!" Earl is more sensitive than Hotaru in some senses, especially after being deceived by humans and elves, and his perception of danger has reached a peak, "This is much more dangerous than that capital, countless eyes are peeking in the shadows, they have been dormant here for a long time, and like me, it has been a long time since they have tasted delicious humans and souls!"

"Don't worry, that god wouldn't be so stupid, no one can hurt Fetsuki now!" Hotaru said to the wary Earl, "and if they were going to attack us, they wouldn't have waited until now, and what makes me curious is that some of them here have been killed the last time I came, and now they are here unscathed, it's weird!"

"Don't talk!" Fei Yue said softly, "Follow me, that guy is scheming, don't accidentally fall for his illusions, in which case I will have to kill him, it will not be a good result for us or for him!"

Hearing Feiyue's warning, the two of them got closer to Feiyue, and now the atmosphere between the three of them was a little weird, so Hotaru returned to the shadow of Feiyue, while Earl was the same as before, carefully guarding against the increasingly inhumanoid monsters next to him.

As the three of them went deeper into the mountains, there were fewer and fewer monsters lurking in the shadows, but the influence of the cave on the three of them became more and more intense, which was not felt by Hotaru last time, and Fei Yue naturally regarded it as a temptation, he was an interloper, and it was natural for the other party to want to see if he was friendly or hostile, so Fei Yue did not show any actions that might be misunderstood, and sure enough, the will in the cave was gradually weakened under Fei Yue's kindness, and finally only a wisp of insignificant power was left to guide the three of them to a path to the cave。

"They're retreating!" Earl then said to Fee, "but I don't think they're gone, sometimes retreat is a precursor to a charge, so we should be more vigilant!"

Fei Yue didn't speak, just walked on the route guided by the will in the cave, the door of the Assassin family that had been closed before was already open when Fei Yue arrived, and behind the door stood neatly like a stone sculpture of the members of the Assassin family, the people here had been killed by Hotaru once last time, and Hotaru also informed Yu Fei Yue of it for the first time, Fei Yue didn't show any care or distraction, just quietly continued to move forward.

Passing through the Assassins' lobby, there was a dark tunnel corridor, the design of the corridor was very similar to the royal palace where Fei Yue lived in the past, you can imagine how ambitious this group of Assassins was, and when Fei Yue walked along the corridor, she found that since the design of this entire courtyard was similar to the royal palace, the direction leading to the cave was exactly the path to the World Tree in the past.

Is this an illusion? Or is it real? Fei Yue looked left and right, the sun also looked dim and gloomy here, the air mixed with dust seemed turbid, this place was like a copy of the palace, except for some extremely subtle corners, if Fei Yue had not lived in the palace for more than ten years, I am afraid it would be difficult to detect the omission.

Walk to the end of the corridor and turn to the right, it is your own house, and turn left is the road to the cave, although Fei Yue is very curious to see if his house is the same as the palace, but the business still has to be put first, so Fei Yue chose to go to the left, it is not a short distance, in the time when Fei Yue sneaked to the World Tree before Fei Yue, and had to carefully avoid the patrols of the knights, and now it gives Fei Yue the illusion of returning to the past.

It's just that there are no knights here, but from time to time you can see some people or beasts hiding in the shadows, they are bound by the cave, and it is impossible to guess what kind of emotions they have, but Fei Yue knows in her heart that the pain and resentment generated by this bondage have distorted them, and now this group of people who still look a little humanoid may be more terrifying in their hearts than the group of inhuman-shaped people in the capital with **** wounds and blood.

After passing through several corridors, Fei Yue and his party finally arrived at the entrance of a cave, the direction here is to go to the direction of Fei'er, but there is no way to calculate which place in the Fei Li Empire is opposite, if you come with Meow Meow this time, maybe Meow Meow can get a relatively accurate data, but Fei Yue can't.

"Distinguished guests, please forgive us for not being able to greet us, and there is nothing to entertain!" Fei Yue stood at the entrance of the cave, and a low and sad cry came from the cave, "Please come in, my appearance may scare you, but please don't mind, I don't have any malice, just like you didn't come with any malice!"

When Fei Yue wanted to continue to enter the cave, Earl stopped Fei Yue one step ahead of Fei Yue, "Mother, there is a familiar breath here, it is my father's breath, he has been studying the corpses and blood you left behind since I was born, and now the cave may be a monster born from your corpses and blood, please be careful!" After speaking, Earl took a step back, but his expression was more serious than before, even Fei Yue couldn't help but be wary.

The air in the cave is fresher than the family stronghold of the palace outside, and Fei Yue, who thought there would be a foul smell, didn't notice any strange smell, except for some slippery roads under his feet, and the echo of water droplets from time to time in the cave, there is nothing too big a problem, but as far as the cave itself is concerned, it is already something that can bring fear to people, driven by this fear, everything will be magnified, after all, there are still a few bold people, Fei Yue and Earl and Hotaru have seen a lot, so they don't show too much fear, in contrast, Earl's expression is still a little subtle, it feels like observing a person who has been closed for longer than himself, and there is no one to deliver food to the poor man's home.

"This is a prison, just like the one you are in!" Fei Yue also saw Earl's subtle expression, so he said, "And this prison was born much longer than yours, it may have existed before you were born, even if it is guided by the people in the prison, it is not possible to form such a cave with flowing water alone, not to mention that there is no river around here, he can only rely on rain!"

"Mother is right, this guy is much more pitiful than me, but who can guarantee that his heart has not been twisted for such a long time?" Earl said to Fei Yue with his soul, "If it weren't for Mother's words to free me from the shadows, I am afraid the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"Well, so we'd better be careful!" Fei Yue glanced at Earl, and began to continue to go deeper into the cave, along the water to form a tunnel all the way down, like a spiral ladder, not a relatively branch road, the group walked for about ten minutes and did not reach the bottom of the cave, which made Fei Yue suddenly start to miss the goblins and gnomes of the elevator, but in terms of the hardness of the stone in this cave, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a hole to accommodate the elevator in a year and a half, but compared to walking in such a dark, damp and bottomless cave, Fei Yue would rather wait a year。

"Oh, it makes me feel so uncomfortable here!" After walking for about ten minutes, Earl began to complain, "It reminds me of the days when I was locked up at the bottom of the lake, it was dark, damp, and I could hear the sound of the water ticking, and the echo of the cave, it was so wonderful, I felt like I was back in my own prison!"

"Don't be anxious, I think we're almost there!" Fei Yue's heart is also very entangled now, but she didn't show it, being imprisoned in such a deep underground, it is impossible to be an easy existence to deal with, fortunately, this guy has been hungry for countless years, and neither physical strength nor ability can be compared with the heyday, unless it draws energy by relying on darkness, but if it draws energy by relying on darkness, the person who built the prison will definitely keep it in the place closest to the sun, this is the most basic common sense, as the builder of the prison, it is impossible to be ignorant of this!

After walking in the cave for about ten minutes, how deep did it take to walk along the spiral ladder-shaped tunnel for more than thirty minutes? And when Fei Yue and her party stepped on the flat stone slab underground, Fei Yue's heart suddenly had a strange premonition, for some reason, she suddenly remembered the creatures she had seen in a book in her previous life, it was also a myth, and the gods in that myth were much uglier!
