Chapter 216: The Black Sage

487

Crane had seen the face of the ascetic holding the candlestick with the eyes of an extraordinary person, a weather-beaten looking man, with fine wrinkles on his forehead, the corners of his eyes, and his mouth.

But strangely enough, there was a hideous old scar on his cheek, and the ascetic did not have a single gray hair, and the hair, like his eyes, was a shiny and extremely rare pure black, shining in the light of the fire.

He has gone through vicissitudes, but he is not old.

Such a contradictory and harmonious temperament, powerful strength and rich experience are at least the same, and most of the time they have both.

I'm not looking for trouble, trouble found me yourself? This was Crane's first reaction, if the ascetic in front of him who seemed to be a strong man belonged to any church, he would definitely report his faith. After all, this is a huge dream world in the ruins of the Divine War, hiding countless dangers and strong people, even believers in the storm and the sun like mortal enemies, they will not start fighting directly after exchanging identities.

In other words, the seemingly generous and gentle ascetic in front of him did not belong to the Orthodox Church, but to some secret organizations.

Therefore, the position and identity of the ascetic are difficult to judge, and his one-sided words are difficult to believe.

Crane, who was no longer a rookie, did not answer immediately, and he kept a certain distance from the ascetic who did not know whether he was old or young, and spoke vigilantly:

"It's not rational to work with someone you're not coming from."

In the face of Crane's temptation, the ascetic was slightly stunned, and then naturally picked up the conversation.

"It's true that I'm not being polite enough." The ascetic raised the menorah a little higher and said calmly, "I am Leomaste, an ascetic of a religious organization. ”

Sure enough, it was from a secret organization.

"Gelman Sparrow." Crane simply responded, "An adventurer." ”

The identity of an adventurer is a gray area like a covert organization, and it can be regarded as Crane expressing his attitude. When Leomaster heard this, he laughed at himself and said:

"I worship the original Creator, who is omniscient and omnipotent, the root of all greatness, who is the beginning and the end, who is the god of gods!"

This...... Hearing that the other party worshiped the original creator, Crane's first reaction was "Twilight Hermit".

However, there are also some small sects of primitive worship in the Southern Continent, and it is not possible to confirm whether the creator in the other party's mouth is the same origin as the "Twilight Hidden Society", or the one surrounded by the eight angel kings in the myth of the "Godforsaken Land...... Crane pondered for a moment and asked:

"What's the name of that religious organization of yours?"

"How did you get here?"

Leomaster said without much hesitation:

"The easternmost part of the Sunia Sea is the place where my lord sleeps, and her holy mountain is hidden somewhere here, and I have come here with a pilgrimage to try to witness miracles and redeem myself."

"Then we undergo the necessary baptism at the end of the pilgrimage path, evil beings appear one after another, we help each other to get through difficulties, and sometimes our companions die who are not strong enough in their convictions......"

"After going through the first difficult period, we gradually repelled those evil beings, and now, only the most powerful 'Black Sage' is still surviving, hiding in all directions."

Crane immediately watched around vigilantly, guarding against possible companions.

"My companions aren't here, they're all in safe places," Leomast said. ”

A safe place? Crane didn't speak.

The so-called "Black Sage" should be the black knight who was huddled in the corner and didn't dare to breathe just now, judging from the reaction of the black knight, he was at an absolute disadvantage, and the ascetic Leomast didn't hide anything. You can't lie in a dream, and you can't hide your true thoughts, and Crane doesn't suspect the other party's motives, and believes these statements for the time being.

He pressed Leomast, "What is the name of your religious organization?" ”

Although he is not going to help, he must confirm the position of the organization and determine whether the other party is friend or foe.

Leomast still intends to skip the question: "Have you seen the 'Black Sage'......?"

The ascetic didn't answer directly, and Crane didn't want to help, so he bypassed Leomast and observed the rest of the strange black cells.

Leomaste didn't stop him, he seemed to be very mobile in his dreams, walking up and down the hallways with a candlestick in hand, checking cells and corners one by one, trying to find the escaped "Black Sage".

Crane walked around the messy piles of objects, looking for possible doors or paths. After a few seconds, he noticed an inconspicuous black wooden door in the corner, so he cautiously leaned over and reached for the handle.

The scene inside naturally came to his mind, it was a storage room, with a full-length mirror on the right.

A mirror?

In the occult, mirrors are a gateway to hidden and unknown worlds, and it is easy to bring terrible accidents, so Crane, who is in a dangerous dream, cautiously walks over, intending to use the power of the "Priest of Light" to destroy the object directly.

At this moment, Leomaster had just finished inspecting a room and walked over with a surprised expression:

"There's a room here?"

Crane raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is not hidden. ”

There were indeed a lot of miscellaneous items piled up around, and Leomaster was indeed much taller than ordinary people, but not to the point where he couldn't find the small door in the corner.

"What's in there, please?" Leomaster became more polite.

Crane pondered for a moment, clenched the doorknob, and twisted it vigorously: "There is a mirror. ”

The black wooden door slowly pushed open, and Crane stood on the side of the door to prevent the uncovered mirror from shining on the front.

This is a full-length mirror with a simple pattern, and one of the three metals is broken. This caused the full-length mirror, which was supposed to be facing the wall, to tilt sideways in the direction of the wooden door.

"If you open the door, you'll be seen in this mirror?" "It's insidious. ”

He added: "I have a strange feeling that this mirror seems to be connected to my life and must not be destroyed. Strange, why have I never noticed this door before? ”

Yes? Crane looked at his glasses again, confused.

Although the environment here is unusually dark, two figures are clearly reflected in the mirror, one is Leomaster with many wrinkles and black hair, and the other is Gelman Sparrow, who has a thin face, black hair and brown hair, and wears a peaked cap.

At this time, when Crane didn't make any moves, Gelman in the mirror. Sparrow turned his head slowly and gave him a gloomy smile!

Suddenly there were ripples on the mirror, and a hand stretched out.

Crane just blinked, the exact same Gelman as he was. Sparrow crawled out of the mirror, his face visibly darkened by the darkness!

It's scary...... Unfortunately, I don't look like Gelman Sparrow, so you didn't scare me...... If it was Zhou Mingrui who appeared and drilled out of the mirror, I am afraid that I would wake up directly...... Crane looked at the other calmly and raised his left hand, which was already covered with a layer of sunlight.

German Sparrow, who was on the other side, smiled and raised his left hand as well, giving the glove a noble but wicked dark color.

This corresponds to the ability of the "Corrupt Baron"!

My clones? Crane thought for a moment, and raised his right hand again with a blank expression.

In his palm he was holding a short, milky white scepter that had come out of nowhere, and the head of the power was inlaid with a circle of blue-blue "gems".

"Poseidon Scepter"!

He believed that the mirror could not replicate the parts associated with the Source Fort.

The eerie Gelman Sparrow looked at the other side a little sluggishly, and instinctively followed and raised his hand, but the inside of his right palm was empty.

Then, he saw countless silver-white lightning bolts shoot out, wrapping himself in layers, making him consume the "paper man stand-in" one by one but unable to jump out of this area.

Zziz, a huge ball of thunder lit up the room that was too narrow to dodge, and disappeared with Gelman Sparrow in the mirror.

For some reason, Crane felt a lot quieter at this moment, as if he had entered the time of a sage.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Unbelievable. ”

Leomaster in this dream does not seem to have the idea that "he may be an extraordinary being", he looks eagerly at Gelman Sparrow with a white scepter in his hand, his breathing is slightly rapid, "The Lord is surrounded by many angels......

"One of them is in charge of thunder and lightning, and the storm and thunder are the power of the Lord!"

Leomaster looked at Crane with a more and more excited expression, and his free hand stretched out, as if trying to grab Crane's hand, and clenched into a fist on his chest with some restraint.

"Stranger, as soon as you arrived, you discovered this mysterious room, showing one of the powers of the Lord, are you my countryman, the messenger of the believers sent by the Lord to save her?"

Crane didn't even think about it, "No." ”

Leomaster was not disappointed: "I will remember the help you have provided, and may your soul be protected by the Lord." ”

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

Is it so straightforward? Pray for the protection of an unidentified God? If I'm a committed church member, like a Red Glove, or a substitute, I'm probably already thinking about how to get you to the basement of the church......

Crane said a few words, he turned his head, looked back at Leomaste, and said:

"What is the name of that religious organization you join?"

Leomaster hesitated for only two seconds this time:

"Aurora Club."

Aurora Will? Crane was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Leomaster observed his expression and was slightly relieved to see that there was no expression other than surprise on Crane's face.

Then, with the audacity, he looked at the strange and magical mirror, and Leomast leaned forward, only to be surprised to find that he was not reflected in the mirror.

"Am I dead?" Leomaster's face turned pale, "Merciful Lord, I have been practicing penance for decades and have never stopped praying, if I have died, why have I not come to you, my sins have not been atoned for?" ”

Crane frowned, and he stepped forward, realizing that he was no longer reflected in the mirror.

"I just looked in the mirror, and an evil clone of mine came out of the mirror, and I defeated it, and then I felt calm......"

Crane, of course, did not consider himself dead, and tried to speculate on the truth: "Can it be understood that this mirror seal will concretize the evil part of man?" After the evil parts are eliminated, the mirror will no longer be able to reflect, or will no longer be visible? ”

He looked at Leomaster, waiting for an answer.

"I didn't...... I didn't kill my clones. Leomast had calmed down and began to try to recall, "The absence of me in the mirror proves that my clone has left, or has I killed it?" But I don't ...... at all."

Leomaster stopped suddenly, his eyes widening.

Crane looked at the side of the place, and suddenly a ridiculous guess came to him.

The ascetic Leomast said that he had many companions, but none of them appeared in the dream......

The dream was a huge prison, as if it was trying to trap something......

From beginning to end, the only one who wandered back here was Leomaste, the "Black Sage......

He clenched the imaginary "Seagod Scepter" in his hand, and chose to make some negative deletions to this seal, which was the source of Crane's confidence.

He chose to face Leomast and slowly backed away, ready to fight and leave.

"I'm like, rememberβ€”" Leomaster said as his eyes straightened, and he held the candlestick as if out of his soul, "I pushed open this door, and I saw this mirror......

Crane felt as if Leomast had suddenly stood up straight, which was actually a sensory illusion.

The ascetic who had been acting with the self-awareness of ordinary people had a dangerous and fierce momentum, which made Crane feel that the other party was suddenly much taller, and he almost needed to look up!

"Evil beings began to appear, and we began to fight them...... This is a test set by the Lord, and they have succeeded, but my trial is not over......"

The ascetic muttered to himself, and with that peculiar momentum, he slowly turned and looked at Crane.

Those pure black eyes flashed with a red glow.

Crane's face was solemn, and the "Seagod Scepter" in his hand quickly brewed a silvery-white brilliance.

At this moment, the tall ascetic suddenly nodded at Crane and smiled.

Then, the pitch-black prison suddenly brightened, and the whiteness ruled his horizon.

Crane opened his eyes naturally, warmed by the sunlight shining in from outside.

Have a rude awakening.
