Chapter 177: Return
Mick committed suicide.
I saw that he raised the dagger and plunged it into his heart without warning.
A second before the dagger stabbed into the body, the two priests of Barry, who were struggling to swim up, suddenly turned around in an extremely exaggerated posture and ran towards Mick at great speed.
In the darkness at the bottom of the pool, a huge monster also stood up sharply and attacked Mik.
However, these people were still a step late, and the short dagger had completely penetrated Mick's heart, and the tip of the short dagger appeared behind it.
Mick smiled weirdly, and before he closed his eyes, he got what he wanted.
'Main Quest: Discover the Secret of the Fall of Lunte City, Reward Power Points: 2000 for Successful Quest'
'Mission complete, do you want to return to space immediately?'
"Yes"
Mick's eyes were plunged into darkness, followed by light and warmth.
And as soon as Mick whispered the word, the whole person disappeared from the pool in an instant. Everything was scattered like a shattered mirror as Mick vanished, including the roaring Priest Barry and others, as well as the monster at the bottom of the pool, the octopus.
Mick was not the only one who appeared in space in an instant like Mick, Aubrey, Priest Barry, Priest Angelo, and Templar Jean, all of whom appeared in the space, but they were all lying in the space and in a coma.
"Looks like Mick completed this mission" Bird stared at the dagger that Mick was clutching in his hand, which was empty a second ago, and in the blink of an eye, there was something more in his hand. Obviously, this extra thing is brought out with the story space, and this dagger must be an additional reward for the completion of the mission.
For everything that Mick and others have experienced, in fact, Bird has seen it in his eyes.
How did these people enter the dense forest from different places, how did they fall into the illusion, and how did they finally break it?
As to whether the city of Lente had fallen, Mick did not know. But what is certain is that the city of Lente in the middle of this dense forest does not exist, but is only an illusion.
The basis of this apparition is the large amount of blue gas that permeates the dense forest, which tends to appear in the form of colorless mist due to the humidity, darkness and high temperature of the dense forest. The 'blue cloud' that Mick saw when he was on top of the pit was before it dispersed and evaporated.
In fact, Mick and the others had already seen this thing in the last story space, and the blue pool water that made the black-armored soldiers was the place where it came from.
After inhaling these things, the first reaction that immediately appears is illusory, magnifying everything in front of you several times, as if entering a completely different world.
Often, people like Mick who had inhaled the blue pool water earlier reacted more violently, and what they would see was even more unrealistic.
Therefore, if we want to find the secret of the fall of Lunte City, it is better to break through the illusory state we have fallen into and find the real world.
Mick was the first to discover the anomaly in this back-and-forth cycle, and the best way to liberate himself was to commit suicide and use himself to break the illusion.
As for how Mick discovered this anomaly, this may start with the fact that he was the first to go through a whole cycle of reciprocation and complete illusory world. When these problems were discovered in the current period, a series of memories were connected, and they suddenly discovered something wrong and broke them directly.

On the second day, just after noon, someone came to report that Captain Mick had something to ask to see.
When Bird saw Mick, he couldn't help but look him up and down, and he could see that Mick's whole person had gained extraordinary results in this story space, and his whole temperament seemed a little different. Seeing the newly added dagger clip on his waist, Bird smiled, presumably the dagger here was seen in the space yesterday.
"Lord Lord," Mick said, raising his hand.
"Why didn't I see him all night, Captain Mick gave people a different feeling," Bird joked.
"There has been a breakthrough in strength," Mick said, inevitably looking a little excited, and his demeanor was undoubtedly revealed.
"The main purpose of this visit is to report to the lord about the slave trader," Mick saw Bird nodding his head, and hurriedly said in detail, "When the slave trader Adolph returned last night, there were several officials in the city waiting outside his house. After following him into the house, there were other officials secretly entering and exiting one after another."
"Are these people going to buy slaves?"
"I don't know, no matter how specific the news is, we can't find out"
"In addition to this, it seems that there are other people involved in this matter. However, the identities of these people seem a little strange, it seems that they have just entered the city in the past two days, and they have always lived in the city and stayed at home, but they came out last night. ”
"Are these people residents of the city?"
"No, I've never seen any of these people," Mick denied, tilting his head.
"Has this ever happened before?"
"This ...... I've never seen it before" Mick paused for a moment, apparently rummaging through his mind for something related to it, but eventually shook his head in disapproval.
"Did you send someone to follow these people?" Bird asked again.
"Definitely!"
"You followed me to the place where the slave traders hid slaves last time, so you must have forgotten it."
Mick nodded
"You send people around the place to see who has bought the slaves, and finally takes them there, and what is the quantity and quality of the slaves."
"Don't be caught by the slave traders," Mick reminded in a sudden whisper.
"Yes!" Mick nodded hurriedly.
"In addition, I have another matter that you need to solve."
"When you get these slaves, you can negotiate with Aubrey, the magistrate, to find me a place to house them. Then first of all, give your knight order new blood, although pick some strong enough, and after talking, turn the replaced people into city guards, guarding all parts of the city and inside and outside the palace gates."
"There is also the matter of the Lion Knights, it may have to be accelerated, this group of slaves can't be kept in that place all the time, you go and talk to the people of the Cult of Arthurs, it's best to find Officer Duncan for me and get his confirmation"
"If there are too many members of the Knights who have been converted into the city guards, you can find me a person in charge and set up a special organization, which is called the city guards."
"Yes"
In short, Mike didn't say a few words when he came to the palace, and the rest of the time he was responding to Bird's words and responding to Bird's request, but it seemed more like Bird came to find Mike, rather than Mike coming to the palace to report the situation.
