Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Test (I)
After listening to the old crow's words, Ivan already knew the answer, and although he felt a little regretful in his heart, his face was quite calm.
"Could it be that those who participate in the test must be formal mages, but not mage apprentices?" The old man, who had always had an indifferent face, couldn't maintain a calm face at this moment, and there was a trace of imperceptible anxiety in his tone.
"It's not like you haven't been in that test, you can't even pass the first-order mage, he's a little mage apprentice, so why waste his efforts. The old crow sighed, his tone full of helplessness.
"Boy, you should also know by now that if you want to get out of this ancient tomb guarded by corpse puppets, the only way to get out of this ancient tomb is to complete the test of the spirit of the secret realm and become the new master of the secret realm. So do you want to accompany me, a half-dead old man who is not a human and a ghost, to eat corpse puppet meat in this ancient tomb for a lifetime, or do you want to gamble in order to get out. The old man turned slowly and asked Ivan beside him.
Ivan was silent, naturally he wanted to go out in his heart, but a strange feeling had been haunting him since he came to this main burial chamber palace with the old man. It was the kind of feeling that made him run away, get out of here, and stay here. The more time passed, the more uneasy he became.
"Don't you want to record the scroll of alchemy? As long as you can become the master of the secret realm, not only the alchemy scroll, but also the treasures more precious than the alchemy scroll are all yours, and when the time comes, you with such huge resources, you will not dare to say that you will be legendary in the future, at least one high-level mage will not be able to escape. Seeing Ivan, who had been silent, the anxious old man tried to tempt him with the charm of the treasure.
"You stupid old man who is afraid of death, if you want to go out and think crazy, when will I agree that this kid can be tested, you beg him to come and beg me first. However, no matter how much you beg me, I can't waste my time letting this little mage apprentice go in and put it to the test, because it will only be a waste of time. Before Ivan could answer, the old crow, the spirit of the secret realm, preemptively sarcastic.
The old man did not have the despair and anger that the old crow imagined, but smiled faintly, with an expression on his face that seemed to see through everything: "Spirit of the Secret Realm, don't pretend, if it were hundreds of years ago, you might not have been in such an embarrassing situation, but it's all too late, isn't it?." ”
"What are you talking about, I don't understand what you're saying, you two get out of here if there's nothing to do, I don't have time to entertain you. The old crow's body shook slightly, and his tone was stiff.
"Do you think I don't know, what's going on with those necromantic creatures in the Black Bone Wasteland of the Deathmatch Secret Realm now?" the old man said unhurriedly, and he could clearly see that the old crow's body stiffened because of the old man's words.
"I don't know how you know, but even if you do, so what?" the old crow regained his composure, his tone cold and indifferent, but Ivan could hear the bitterness hidden in its voice.
"So what? It's a shame that you dare to be so arrogant, as early as hundreds of years ago, this deathmatch secret realm space accidentally collided with the necromantic realm, this secret realm is slowly being eroded by the necromantic realm, and the power of you, the spirit of the secret realm, is also slowly weakening.
When the Necromantic Realm completely erodes the space of the Deathmatch Secret Realm, you, the spirit of the Secret Realm, will also completely dissipate, and finally even the last obsession of your original master will disappear into the world, can you still be so indifferent?" The old man's tone became heavier and heavier, and the deep pity in his words could be heard in the last few words.
The spirit of the secret realm is the strongest obsession of the master of the secret realm after his death, they can not care about the loneliness of eternal time, do not care about the life of any living being, do not care about everything in the world, it can be said that the spirit of the secret realm is the rules and order of the secret realm, they have no emotion, and they have almost no weaknesses.
But since it is almost, not completely, it means that they also have weaknesses, after all, the world is fair, there has never been an invincible existence, only the most unpredictable infinite end.
Anything that can exist has a meaning to exist, whether it is strong or weak, and the spirit of the secret realm is no exception.
The obsession of the master of the secret realm is the meaning of their existence, when the obsession is not completed or fails, it is to erase the meaning of the existence of the spirit of the secret realm, which is the most painful thing that can make the spirit of the secret realm without any emotion, and it is also their only weakness.
"You're so bold, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" The spirit that has always been high in his secret realm, how could he ever need the mercy of others, especially knowing that this person was offending it, but what this person said just now made it speechless, which made the secret realm angry.
A palpitating terrifying momentum rose from the old crow's body, as if the will and strength of the entire secret realm were concentrated on the old crow, the old crow's black ancient well Wubo's eyes were full of anger at this time, and the terrifying power made the surrounding space appear slightly folded, as if it would be torn apart in the next second, cutting and destroying all living things.
"I've said it all, with the continuous erosion of the Deathmatch Secret Realm by the Necromantic Realm, your strength as the spirit of the Secret Realm will become smaller and smaller, and there are so many necromantic creatures in the Black Bone Wasteland, which means that the Deathmatch Secret Realm is about to be completely eroded, how much strength can you have now? Listen to my advice, let this kid give it a try, and don't waste much of your time, saying that it may not be lucky to pass, and you will be relieved, isn't it?" Facing the terrifying situation of the spirit of the secret realm, the old man squinted his eyes slightly, and said indifferently, it is not a matter at all.
"Hmph, even if you are right, but there is more than this kid in this secret realm, there are so many mage apprentices in the Netherworld Puppet City, why should I choose this kid alone. The old crow said in a deep voice, as if he looked down on Ivan.
"It's a big joke that you can count on those useless fools, who don't have enough knowledge, who don't have enough observation, not to mention any logical reasoning, and who can't even detect the clues that your master deliberately exposed in the moat. The old man said sarcastically, completely ignoring the students.
"Hmph, let's talk about it, it's not just this kid, try it, if not, you two will wait for death with me. The old crow said unhappily, as if he never wanted to talk to you again.
The old man hooked his lips and smiled, just you, a guy with an inflexible brain, still want to fight with the old man, and then turned to look at Ivan, looking at Ivan's choice expectantly.
Ivan looked at the old man's expectant face, although the danger in his heart has not gone away, but if he refuses now, it is difficult to ensure that this old man and the spirit of the secret realm will unite and clean himself up, there is no way, it seems that he can only agree first.
"Naturally, I have no opinion. ”
