"Kavituva"? This seems to be the 'god of the sea' that the indigenous people of the Rorsted Islands have been believing in before it was colonized...... To this day, many believers believe that this deity, which often appears in the form of a giant sea serpent, can protect them from being swallowed up by earthquakes and tsunamis on their islands.

It was actually born in the Tertiary Period, even if it may have been the end of the Tertiary Period, according to some books of the organization, more than 2,500 years ago...... Why did it live so long?

Well, either its offspring has inherited its identity and name, or it has found another way to extend its life......

Speaking of which, the "pillar" of the organization, the ancestor of the family's Yalolan, also lived for more than 2,000 years, even if she used the blood of the Duke of the Blood Clan when she was promoted to a demigod, this age is also exaggerated, after all, the vast majority of the Blood Clan can't live that long.

With this in mind, Lady Latisia withdrew her thoughtful gaze and entered the second level of the trial, "Will".

……

At the same time, Abner couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the deep-sea sea monster at the end of the mural, which was forced into the "prophetic" trait.

As he had recognized, the kraken was actually a transcendent creature, as old as the Orbnis kraken in captivity in the Church of the Storm, but more intelligent.

Its name is "Segust", and its blood crystals and brain marrow seem to be the main materials of the medium-sequence potion, but Abner does not know which one it belongs to.

But no matter which one it belongs to, although it has been forced into the "Prophet" to ascend to the sky in one step, it will be very terrifying in the future, even if it is because of a moment of "luck", it has successfully integrated its characteristics.

As for finding the sea monster's hunting traits according to the clues in the mural? Abner didn't even think about it. Not to mention that the "Saigust" sea monster may have been hunted a long time ago, even if it survives to this day, the sea is so big, where should I look for it?

Seeing that the crystal lamp on the other side of the corridor had dimmed again, Abner did not delay any longer, pushed open the open door at the end of the corridor, and entered the Hall of Trials.

Unlike the previous "Courage" trials, this hall is not as bright as the promenade, but it is also not dark, and the soft light reflects down from the different crystals at the dome, dividing the entire hall into two parts.

One part was a little dim, but inside there were beautiful elves singing and dancing, either making suggestive gestures at Abner or picking up clumps of coagulated animal blood with two branches, as if they were trying their best to lure him into the "middle line".

"Although these female elves are good-looking, their skin and hair colors don't quite match my aesthetics...... And what do you mean you also put two male elves in it? Bad review!

"Not to mention the food, although the kind of 'blood wang' looks kind, I didn't like it very much in my previous life, and the spices are too simple, which is not as good as the cooks on Davel Island...... Bad review!

"Finally, what's in those bottles and cans? Fruit wine? The brewing process is terrible, and there is still so much floating matter in the wine that is not filtered out...... Bad review! ”

Seeing this scene, Abner felt that testing his "will" with these things was like a joke, no matter how weak his will was, it was impossible for him to be tempted by these things that were not attractive at all.

Abner soon discovered, though, that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Because over time, the "middle line" moved a scale towards the elves' side. On the other side of the hall, he gradually felt depressed and irritable at first, and then evolved into more specific feelings such as hunger, thirst, and impulsivity......

These feelings are not physical sensations, but directly act on the spirit, and they are not directly harmful, so Abner could not shield them even if he opened the "pure white eye......

Obviously, this is the real test of the "will" level.

"It's clear...... There are 12 scales in this room, and on one side you will endure 'pain' and on the other hand, you will have 'pleasure' like 'sake pond meat forest......

"The 'boundary' was at 6 o'clock in the center, and now it's 7...... As long as I've been on this side, the scale will continue to move towards 12, and once it reaches 12, it should be clear. But in the process, the level of 'suffering' will definitely increase gradually.

"On the other hand, if I go to the other side, it will be reversed, and the scale will get closer to 0 with time, and once it reaches 0, the trial will be declared a failure.

"If I were in a state of 'mechanical mind' at this time, I would definitely make a plan to go to the other side of the 'happiness' to rest and recover for a while when I can't bear it anymore, and then return to the other side and continue to 'suffer'...... And so on, the spiral approaches 12.

"But that's a trap...... Man is not a machine, and it is impossible to execute such a plan perfectly. Once the 'will' is slackened and goes to the other side of the 'pleasure', it will be difficult to persist in the future...... I will always find an excuse for myself to 'rest and have fun'......

"So, either stick to it from beginning to end, or fail, I'm afraid there is no compromise plan......"

Suffering from all kinds of discomfort, Abner used "analysis" to divert his attention and avoid looking at the scene on the other side.

But a casual glance from time to time still made his mouth dry, and he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before he endured it.

"Hell, that's just a 7 scale...... "Abner muttered as the "boundary" jumped to 8. At this time, not only were all the previous feelings doubled, but all kinds of confusing auditory hallucinations appeared in his ears, constantly stimulating his senses.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that the temperature around him has also increased a lot, and he even feels some burning sensation on his exposed skin.

"No...... It's not the way to go! Although I pride myself on being strong-willed, I was born in a peaceful era and has never suffered much since I crossed over, and I am certainly not as strong as the elves of the chaotic era in terms of willpower to pain......

"It's okay to say these temptations now, but if there is pain and torture in the future, I will definitely not be able to hold on...... At this point, I can't even compare to the full moon whispering......

But is there any way to circumvent this effect that acts directly on the mind and feeds back into the body?

"That's right! Forthth! After she entered the 'Source Castle', those whispers that directly acted on her spirit were blocked!

"So, at this time, I just need to go to Mr. 'Fool' for a few hours to 'study' and wait for the scale to reach 12?"

In a flash of thought, Abner had an idea, and he first turned on the "Pure White Eye" to simulate the ability of "cold ice" and applied it to his face to make himself feel a little more energetic, and then he assumed a prayer posture and recited reverently in the ancient Hermetic language:

"Fools who do not belong to this age;

"The mysterious lord above the gray mist;

"The Yellow and Black King of Good Fortune."

……

Beckland Bridge area, at the back entrance of the Brave Bar.

Crane, who wore a peaked cap, was carefully protecting the purse in the inner pocket of the gray-blue worker's jacket, and then followed Marich, who was wearing only a white shirt and a black vest, and seemed not afraid of the cold at all, to board the carriage of a carriage.

Miss Sharon, with pale blonde hair and blue eyes, appeared in the seat opposite him.

"Why are you here?" Sharon asked succinctly.

Klein calmly replied:

"I'd like to ask you if there are any clues about the materials I need...... Also, I need some more esoteric occult books......"

Sharon, who was pale but delicate-looking, looked at him with blue eyes and said:

"The Book of Secrets by the Witch King Karaman.

"A favor in exchange."

Help...... Although he had a hint of gratitude in Miss Sharon's heart, Klein didn't dare to agree for a while.

He pondered for a moment, then asked in detail what help Sharon and Marić needed, their origins, and the general situation of the enemy.

In this regard, Sharon and Marich did not shirk and answered Klein's questions one by one.

Are they a temperate faction of the "Rose School"? This is consistent with my guess.

Marić is a "living corpse", which is in line with his image of not being afraid of the cold and playing cards with corpses;

And Miss Sharon is a grudge? And this kind of sequence? It's really a different pathway...... Klein was slightly surprised at first, but then felt that this was indeed in line with the characteristics of the easy transformation between the physical body and the spirit body.

However, after hearing that there was a demigod among the enemies, two Sequence 5, one Sequence 6, and two Sequence 7, Crane was not calm, how could such a lineup win? They weren't really going to die.

As if to see Crane's doubts, Marić explained, "Someone will stop the demigods of the Indulgence faction, and we have a helper who will be in charge of dealing with Steve the Wraiths and Taylor the Werewolf. ”

In this way, our opponent actually only has a sequence 5, a sequence 6 and a sequence 7...... That's pretty reasonable.

"But the Indulgence Faction has mobilized so many people in order to catch you!" Klein sighed.

"There weren't that many ...... But last time, in order to stop Steve from getting involved in the fight for the Cursed Thing, Sharon and I revealed that we had been helped by a 'Potions Professor', and let them know that we are no longer afraid of the weakness and madness of the Full Moon Curse...... That's why we added manpower. Marić scratched at his slightly messy hair.

"Cursed Thing" ...... It can't be the "1-025", right? Klein recalled the "Witch of Pain Incident" that Mr. "Tower" had said, and the "Baron Convar Incident" that he had watched "live" later, and couldn't help but have a guess in his heart:

Could it be that Miss Sharon and Marić are also friends of Mr. "Tower"?
