Real World, Olawe Island, Church of San Draco.

Two young men sat on the benches, listening intently to an old man dressed in the bishop of the Church of the Storm about the "Temple of Trials".

"In short, although the so-called 'God of Luck' is long gone, there must still be many dangers in that ruin, and although you have a lot of experience, you should also be careful...... If you are in a desperate situation, don't skimp on the 'Scourge' spell that has been given to you...... You are not clergy and punishers, but you are faithful guardians of the Lord, and you are to cherish your life. The old man finally admonished.

"Thank you for the reminder, Bishop Farion." One of them, a young man in his twenties with blue hair, said excitedly, "We'll get the job done!" ”

Another yellow-haired man who looked slightly older clenched his fist and struck his chest, saying, "The storm is with you." ”

"The storm is with you, children." The Bishop returned with standard etiquette before smiling, "Your Excellency Cottman will be personally supporting you outside the ruins tonight, so you don't have to be too nervous. ”

The blue-haired young man's face showed joy when he heard this, he originally thought that this mission was rewarding and must be extremely dangerous, but he didn't expect that there would be a sage to take care of him, so there was nothing to worry about now.

But the yellow-haired man's face flashed with a subtle look of fear, and then disappeared without anyone seeing the clue.

The Holy One personally supported ...... It shows the importance of Lord Courtman! And the relics that are valued by an existence like him must be dangerous!

While thinking this, the yellow-haired man glanced at his companion and didn't say anything.

At this time, with the sound of "dang dang dang" from the bell tower behind the church, the bishop clapped his hands and said to the two of them:

"Alright, there is only one hour left until the opening of the ruin's passage, let's go now and wait at the beach.

"You should also take this opportunity to adjust your mentality again."

"Yes, Your Excellency." The two young men replied in unison.

……

Meanwhile, at the back gate of the Doge's Palace, the adventurer Lady Latisia Dorella and her companion Solo boarded a carriage with Governor Auston and rushed to the beach on the north shore.

"Latisia, can a 'Ninth Law' charm help you pass the three trials?" On the carriage, Auston asked curiously as he looked at Latisia who was playing with the dark golden charm with her fingers.

Latisia shook her head lightly and said in response:

"'Fear' comes from the unknown, 'courage' comes from the heart, and the 'heart' needs to have 'reliance'......

"If I understand the content of the 'trial', I will naturally be full of confidence and courage and pass the test successfully...... But I don't know, so I need something else to rely on and comfort. ”

This is both for Auston and for his companion Solo.

She paused, then added, "As far as I know...... However, any elf who is afraid before the trial will never pass the first level of 'courage'. ”

Auston said thoughtfully: "So, the 'Ninth Law' acts as your 'confidence' and 'reliance'?" ”

"Yes, one high-level charm is enough for me to deal with most crises. So, even if we just hold it in our hands and don't use it, Solo and I will add a bit of courage. Latisia replied with a smile, "Of course, Admiral Emilius's caretaking outside the ruins also serves the same purpose. ”

"I see." Auston was stunned at first, and then took the opportunity to take Latisia's hand a few years later, and said in a sincere tone, "You should have told me earlier, I have some collections of my own." If they give you more courage, I certainly won't be stingy to lend them to you. ”

Ms. Latisia shook her head again and said, "There is no need, too many items will distract me from my faith in the 'Ninth Law'.

"Moreover, they can conflict with my own belongings and become a burden."

Auston didn't want to lend it, just to take the opportunity to rub the oil, so he got off the donkey and asked, "What about the two trials of 'will' and 'strength'?" Do you also rely on the 'ninth law'? ”

Laticia withdrew her hand and replied with a smile, "Solo and I are both adventurers who have experienced countless extreme environments...... When it comes to 'will' and 'strength', I'm confident that I won't lose to elves of the same level! Since some of them were able to pass in the first place, I must be able to do it too! ”

Although there was a smile on her lips, her tone was extremely firm.

At this moment, Auston suddenly realized that Latisia was so charming, more charming and radiant than usual...... So much so that he didn't want the other party to take any more risks, but left him in the governor's palace......

But he also knew that this was just his beautiful idea, and this woman was obviously more fond of "adventure" than a stable noble lady life.

……

Beckland, Minsk Street.

At noon, after signing a supplementary contract with Mr. Thomas Corson to "suspend the investigation," Klein drove to the circus.

As for how Mr. Stewart, who has taken over the matter, how to deal with the aftermath, what does it matter to him Sherlock? Why did he want a little detective to get involved in the battle between the "secret master" and the "secret puppet master"? Don't you die fast enough?

In the process of watching the circus performance, in addition to guessing that the "magician" may have a code of "applause from the audience", he also happened to meet Duckwell, a fat pharmacist who also went there to find inspiration for playing, and the other party used spicy taunts to avoid an animal attack accident, which made Klein have to express the same emotion as Abner: Obviously well-intentioned, why do you have to use such a thankless way to remind ......

On the way home, he strayed into the battlefield where the night watchman ambushed the demon dog, the main culprit of the serial murder, and realized that there might be an "owner" behind the demon dog.

When he finally returned home, he met the lawyer Jürgen again, and agreed to the other party's commission to take care of his black cat Brody at night.

Thinking back on what happened this day, Klein wondered if he had been "infected" by Dr. Allen, otherwise how could he have encountered so many incidents?

Although these events seemed to pass him by, he always felt that they might find him one day......

Well, that's my delusion! Crane sighed, looked sideways at the black cat Brody, smiled at it, and reached out to give it a stroke.

However, Brody the black cat slowly turned around, turned his back to him, and took a few steps forward, away from him.

Crane's smile stiffened on his face.

……

In the scene of the fifth floor of the Dream Labyrinth Tower, as the time for the ruins passage to open was approaching, Abner came alone to the beach in the north of the island and compared the location on the hand-drawn map.

Not far from him, Latisia and Solo, escorted by numerous guards from the Doge's Palace, opened the door and disembarked from the carriage.

Seeing this, Abner looked back at his side, but there was nothing but the sea and the sand.

"The Church of the Storm is really a 'sticker'!

"Fortunately, the influence of this 'sticker' is still real, otherwise the people from the Governor's Mansion would have driven me away at this moment!"

When Abner couldn't help but complain, it was already completely dark, and even the crimson was hidden in the fog and disappeared.

Soon, there was a rustling sound on the sea, and Abner "simulated" his night vision ability, and when he looked closely, he found that the sea was surging violently about a nautical mile away, and collapsed into a huge whirlpool. However, the center of the whirlpool is sprinkled with a little starlight, and from a distance, it looks like a gate condensed by starlight.

"That's the passage?" Abner looked left and right, but there was no one to answer his question, so he could only look in the direction of Latisia on the other side of the beach.

The lady took out a green scroll from her pocket and whispered an Old Hermetian word: "Wind." ”

Then, a gust of wind rose from beneath her feet, sweeping her and the other man toward the center of the whirlpool.

Seeing this, Abner no longer hesitated, and also simulated the ability of "flying", took off into the air, and followed closely behind them.

……

On a cliff near the beach, Emilius Livitt, dressed in a dark blue admiral's uniform, watched silently at the three who had flown one after another, and then he half-turned his head and cast his gaze on the sky on the other side, full of indescribable majesty and oppression.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself in confusion, "What am I doing?" Why look at the air? ”

……

Farther away, in the Stone Bridge Cave, Councillor Rickard suddenly sighed, he finally realized where the "world" and his own wrongness came from, and said with a smile: "It's time to wake up......"

With that, he closed his eyes.

……

Meanwhile, on the real-world island of Olawe, Ryjod, sitting in the cave of the Stone Bridge, was looking at the northern sands through a magical object.

He saw a whirlpool passage appear on the surface of the sea, saw the tall and burly "Sea King" Ion Courtman send the two young men into the "Starlight Gate" with the "Tempest", and saw Admiral Emilius look at the "Sea King" with a majestic gaze......

But at this moment, his spirit suddenly fell into a trance, and it took a long time to recover, and the demigod who had a problem with the ritual at the time of promotion sequence 3 looked around in confusion, and said uncertainly:

"I just had a dream?

"It's a sign that I'm out of control...... Or is it the influence of that ruin?

"The doom it brought with it has made my ritual nearly fail...... Isn't it over yet? ”

Rejord tried to get some revelation from the messy images in his dream, but suddenly found that those memories were blurred, and even if he tried to recall them, he could no longer remember them......

"At least the influence of the angelic rank ......" After coming to this conclusion in his mind, Rejord stopped trying and set his sights on the magical object again.

At this time, the image reflected in the object shocked his heart, because of the two young men sent by the Storm Church, the yellow-haired, slightly older man had been sprayed out by the whirlpool...... And he was dead by this time!

A phrase popped into Rickard's mind that he had never read before:

"Elven trials generally do not have casualties, unless you are unfortunate enough to encounter the 'God of Luck' and go crazy!"
