Catherine felt frustrated, really. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

inadvertently turned her head, so that she only saw the ending of the performance, but missed the most critical and quintessential part......

Remorse!

Catherine really wanted to know how that guy ended a demon simulacrum made from a legendary-level magic item in an instant!

Hesitation and cringe is not Catherine's style, she decided to ask directly, and immediately walked towards Ye Guyun quickly, regardless of whether the other party would answer or not.

Ye Guyun was still standing in place, holding a sword in one hand and the strange little stone slab in the other, silently looking at it.

The small stone slab was obviously not simple, limited by his poor arcane knowledge, Ye Guyun really couldn't see through his mysteries, turning over and over, testing back and forth, and only collecting some superficial external features. The material is strange, like stone, and like metal, the shape is strange and unique, full of arcs, curved surfaces, and hooks, if you look at it from a distance, and imagine it a little, it can be seen as a large materialized arcane rune, and its body is glowing with a ghostly aura, and shallow arcane fluctuations are in between, but all of them are particularly dim - this is naturally because it was greatly damaged by Ye Guyun's strong impact. However, the brilliance of its intact state is not difficult to get a glimpse or two from it.

Noticing Ye Guyun's state, Catherine couldn't help but pursed the corners of her lips covertly-

"It's just a slightly high-grade magic item, what's there to look at?"

But in fact, she made it herself, and it cost a lot of money......

Catherine was about to walk to Ye Guyun's side, but at this moment, the latter inexplicably turned his head to the left, his movements were so fast and the rhythm was so sudden that he was greatly stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Catherine couldn't help but follow and shifted her gaze to the left - the empty grotto was quiet, the dust had not risen a bit, and the stone pillar forest in the distance was still shrouded in gloom, and the stone pillars that had been broken by Ye Guyun in it still maintained the same appearance as they were a moment ago, and even the gravel next to it was still in the place where it should have been—in short, Catherine didn't notice anything unusual.

Full of suspicion, Catherine turned around, but happened to see Ye Guyun flying away for a moment.

"What?"

Catherine felt like an idiot, and every move of the other party made her incomprehensible and frustrated...... Fortunately, immediately after, it seems that I finally saw something useful?

"Hmmm, that's not right!!"

Catherine suddenly saved something, her heart shook violently, and subconsciously, she wanted to intercept Ye Guyun, but she still restrained her impulse, stopped in place, and watched anxiously......

A few rabbits fell, Ye Guyun had come to the edge of the stone pillar forest, kicked his legs, climbed a stone pillar, and without pause, he took advantage of his strength to soar into the air, and then turned over, drew his sword, lucked, and swung out.

Scold!

Another invisible sword qi erupted from the sky, sharp and fast.

In an instant, not far away, a stone pillar that was its target was sliced open—yes, it was cut, not split, and Gain's sword aura was so sharp that it penetrated the stone pillar directly, creating this effect that seemed to be at ease.

"I've heard this sound before...... This is how he killed Sampra? No, not only! There was something else, a sound that was close to the roar of a monster......" Catherine pondered silently.

Ye Guyun stopped, stood next to the target stone pillar, looked around with a serious face. After a few moments, sighing, he put his weapon away, and paced around, hanging his head, scrutinizing it. Yes, he found a garment behind the stone pillar, a white garment that had been cut open. Speechless, put away. Then return to the center of the grotto.

"What's wrong?" asked Catherine.

"The culprit was found, the real culprit, and he couldn't catch up, but he did leave. Ye Guyun replied.

"Ah, really? Catherine's response was disinterested, "So, it's over?"

"It's all over. Ye Guyun nodded.

"Oh! it's so disappointing......" Catherine shook her head again and again, "I thought it was interesting enough, but it ended quickly, hastily, and inexplicably......" She looked at Ye Guyun, and her tone was full of sarcastic complaints, "My hero~!I know you're powerful and mysterious, but can't you do something that I can understand?Do you know?Your series of actions make me confused like an idiot~!"

"Uh, there's a chance......"

......

Kapanic and the others were saved, and the large illusion that had trapped them suddenly faded away, and then they found themselves screaming and fighting into the air, and not far on the ground, the corpse of the gray dwarf was still lying there, clearly mocking them silently...... It's shameful enough, but it's more about feeling blessed and inexplicable.

Ye Guyun's return answered most of their questions.

The salvation of everyone was naturally because Ye Guyun "killed" the culprit. And the thread that runs through the whole event is illusion, an illusion that they have all experienced.

It's all the work of illusion.

It all started with the Grey Dwarves activating the ancestral artifact to protect themselves. The Grey Dwarf's original intentions were undoubtedly reasonable and legitimate, and it also had a strong tragic overtone, but the result was that they collectively fell into a particularly powerful illusion...... It's so sad.

Under the influence of illusion, they thought that they had summoned the Baro Flame Demon with an ancestral spirit weapon, thinking that the sudden appearance of the Baro Flame Demon was uncontrollable and went on a killing spree, and they were powerless to resist, so they fled in a panic. The illusion was so powerful that many of them, even in the process of escaping, thought they had fallen to the clutches. (Even those corpses without wounds)

Illusion is the root of the tragedy of the gray dwarf (although it will be finished sooner or later without illusion), and the source of illusion is attributed to a mastermind behind the scenes, and Ye Guyun has never really seen the mastermind behind it.

Of course, this explanation is not convincing to everyone, and there are too many loopholes in it that are worth questioning.

The first to question was Pompeii, who asked, "According to the texts, the Grey Dwarves are immune to Phantoms and have strong resistance to mind control, which is due to their long struggle with the Mind Flayer - they were once enslaved by the Mind Flayer in history, and it was the constant resistance that finally freed them from the latter's mind control...... Of course, that's not the point, the point is, resistance. Although Phantom and mind control are not the same as illusion, there is too much overlap in the scope of the two, and in fact, the phantom is an extremely important part of the illusion system. So, you can imagine how low the probability is of letting a group of gray dwarves with high resistance or even immunity indulge in illusion at one time - of course, it can't be said that there is none, but, honorable Excellency, you know what a terrible magical skill it takes to do this!"

"It's good that you are the one behind the scenes, and you are a terrifying magic god......" Ye Guyun took out the arcane rune he obtained from Sampra, "This is evidence." I don't understand this thing, but the people behind it did use it to create a powerful and domineering Barlow Flame Demon - albeit a fake. There is the ability to own this thing, and I think there is also the ability to manipulate that terrible illusion, or the illusion is actually directly related to this thing. ”

Pompeii took it and couldn't take his eyes off it, "I accept this statement." His face was full of distress, and he kept stroking the arcane runes, "Ouch, it's all broken like this! Mr. Saphius, you must have broken it......, right?

Ye Guyun was full of black lines.

"However, the demons we encountered on the way, the Berserker Demon, the Ba Planing Demon, and the Cowardly Demon, are all real!" Scratching his head, Kapanik wondered, "Those guys are not illusions......

The doubt that Kapanik pointed out exists in the hearts of all mercenaries.

"That's right," Barclay echoed as he pulled out the demonic stumps he had collected from his bag, and it seemed that this guy had the same penchant for dissecting corpses as Pompeii, "Look! they haven't disappeared! These precious materials are still there!

"I didn't deny the authenticity of those demons operating on the periphery......" Ye Guyun actually wanted to answer everyone's doubts, but he didn't think through many of the key points himself.

"Only the demons on the periphery are real, but the demons in the core area are illusions?...... It's illogical!"

Barclay acts like a detective and asks a litany of questions.

"Why aren't all of them real, or maybe all of them illusions?"

"Even if it has to be half to half, it should be more reasonable that the demons in the core area are real......

"If there is a mastermind behind this, why would he take such an unreasonable action?"

"And, most fundamentally, what is the reason for the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes? Destroy the gray dwarves? But why do you have to confront us who are on the same page as him......?"

"Okay, okay!" Ye Guyun had a big headache, curious baby is really one of the most difficult monsters in the world to deal with, especially the kind that is used to breaking the casserole and asking to the end, the lethality is definitely not a few points weaker than the chatterbox, he took out the white coat, "The things from myself are enough to prove his existence." ”

"We just need to know that the mastermind behind the incident really exists! As for the myriad questions in the middle of the incident...... It doesn't matter!" sighed, spreading his hands, "Anyway, all the suspicions can be forcibly explained by the secret purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes. And we don't need to know this. ”

"We don't even have to care about the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, we don't have to care about what he has done and what he is going to do....." Ye Guyun's face turned cold, staring at everyone coldly, "As long as he doesn't hinder us......"

"Before dealing with anything, distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. Our focus should never be on the stories behind the scenes!, please remember why you're here!!"

"It's not an adventure, it's not a puzzle, it's not something extraneous, it's a bounty!"

"As for me, it's for this place. ”

"If we get in the way of achieving our goal, just drive it away!

Ye Guyun turned his palm into a knife and wiped it horizontally between his neck.

"Kill it!"

"It's as simple as that. ”

"Does anyone else understand?!! Ye Guyun suddenly shouted loudly, everyone was startled, for a while, there were only a few responses, but Ye Guyun didn't care, and only moved his playful gaze around, making everyone who was swept shudder, "So, now...... Can you stay here and let the others rob all the bounty targets in the fortress?"

Birds and beasts are scattered, and all the mercenaries are scattered in a few breaths, clean.

Ye Guyun turned his head and looked at Catherine, who was still beside him, who just stared at him meaningfully, and suddenly, said enchantingly-

"I didn't expect you to be quite attractive......"
