"How...... How could it be you, the stinky priest to return my mother, to my mother!" Looking at the man in the golden robe in front of her, Lilith couldn't help but scream, only to see the man sneer, and lifted the little Lori high and threw it into the fire.

Lilith waved her arms desperately, trying to turn into a little owl and fly, but she couldn't use the transformation technique anyway, and the little Lori cried and fell into the flames.

Suddenly, a holy silver light appeared from behind the golden-robed man, instantly engulfing him and the surrounding sea of fire, Lilith blinked and found herself lying on the ground, a cloud of black smoke coming out of her body, gathering in front of her like a nightmare.

I saw the nightmare raise his hands and laugh wildly: "Stupid human, I am a ...... you can't get rid of" Before the words were finished, a moonlight arrow whistled by, and the nightmare's voice stopped abruptly, and was wiped out by the holy moonlight.

"It looks like it's gone. Rog said with a wink at Eva, who had lowered her bow.

He leaned over and picked Lilith up from the ground, wiped the tears from her little face with his hand, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Little Lori looked at him with a sob, and said for a while, "I saw my mother......"

"What did she tell you?" asked Rogge softly.

"She asked me if I was well-behaved, and I said I was good!" Lilith pouted and looked at Roger with wide eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation of recognition in her tear-glittering eyes.

"That's right," Rogge pinched her little face with a smile, and said with a bow: "Except for greedy mouths, stealing merit, pranks, and arguing with others, you are quite well-behaved!"

"Nasty bad wolf, ignore you!" Little Lori pouted angrily and frowned, glaring at him fiercely, but instead of letting go of her hand, she hugged Rogge's neck with both arms and pressed her face to his shoulder.

"Girls like to talk back, isn't that true, Your Highness?" Rogue smiled and looked at the elven princess Eva opposite, Eva smiled and shook her head gently to stand up.

"Come on, let's get on our way. Rog stood up with Lilith in his arms and led the group into the hall, where there were two large doors on either side, and Eva sent two elven knights to try to push the door in turn, but found that only the one on the left could be pushed open.

Everyone then turned to the left and carefully pushed open the door, and found that there was a dark corridor inside, and Rogge walked in front of Lilith with him, about ten meters away, and a square room appeared in front of him, and in the center of the room stood a statue, and four identical bewitching witches stood side by side, facing the direction of the four doors.

On the left and right sides of the statue there was an open door that led to two corridors, and in front of them, there was a closed door, and Murphy stepped forward and tried to push it open, but the door did not move.

After some discussion, they decided to continue walking to the left, and they turned to the corridor on the left, and walked along the gloomy corridor covered with cobwebs in the corner, and there was silence everywhere, only the sound of their footsteps echoed in their ears, which made everyone's spirits tense.

Suddenly, a square room appeared in front of it, and like the previous room, there was an identical statue of a witch standing in the center of the room, and the four walls of the room were still four doors arranged in a cross shape, the left and right sides were open, and the front was closed.

"Why is this place exactly the same as just now?" Catherine looked into the room suspiciously, frowning, "It feels weird here." ”

"Look further ahead. Rog glanced around the room, turned and continued to walk towards the door on the left, and the group followed him through the hallway, and after a while, another room appeared in front of him.

"This room is exactly the same as the one just now!" Murphy raised the lightning sword in his hand, and looked around the dark room with the help of the electric light released from the sword, and found that it was no different from the previous two rooms.

"It's a bit weird here, maybe try to open the door on the right side of the hall and take that path. Eva whispered to Rog.

"I think you're right, before we have gone far, it's still too late to go back. Rogge waved to everyone now and turned back the way he came, and on the way he said to Lilith in his arms, "Can you sleep somewhere else, little villain?"

"Of course you can!" Little Lori rolled over and lay down in Rogge's arms, resting her head in the crook of Rogge's arms, Rog looked down at her, Lilith closed her eyes and pressed her face against his chest, her two calves in the air.

"What a little Rippy!" Rogge shrugged his shoulders and carried her on, passing by two square stone chambers, and through the hallway to the door, only to find that there was not the hall they had imagined, but another stone room with a witch statue.

"What's going on? Are we going the wrong way?" everyone looked at each other, a little overwhelmed, Rog frowned when he saw this, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then turned back to Eva and said, "Please send a few knights with me to go back, I want to go back and see." Eva did as he had requested, and sent five elven knights to follow him.

Rog ordered one of the elven knights to stay every step he walked, either around the corner or in the center of the corridor, so that the knights could see each other, and when he let the last knight stay, he walked to the door under the watchful eye of that knight.

In front of him was a square room with a statue of a witch, everything was exactly the same as before, Rog glanced back at the hallway, the elven knight was still standing in place, and saw him turn around, and nodded to him gently.

"The corridor hasn't changed, so the problem is probably the stone chamber. ”

Rogge thought to himself, his eyes swept over the stone chamber in front of him, and suddenly, he squatted down in front of the door of the stone chamber, stretched out a finger and wiped it from the ground, raised his hand and glanced at the finger, his gaze fell on the ground in front of him.

Caught off guard, Lilith, who was lying in his arms, straightened up and opened her small mouth to bite the finger that was at him, Rogge hurriedly retracted his hand, stared down at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I just saw you dip your finger in something, is it delicious?" asked Lori with a wink.

"There's some thousands of years of dust, do you want to eat it?" said Rogge, shaking his dusty fingers in front of her.

"Nasty, I thought it was delicious!" Lilith frowned, turning into a little owl and flying onto Rog's hat.

"Finally let me go!" Rogge couldn't help but mutter, flicked the dust off his hands, and looked at the ground in the stone chamber in front of him, secretly thinking: "There is such a thick dust on the ground, it is impossible for people to walk without leaving footprints, even if the elves can, Murphy, Catherine, Grace and I will also leave traces." ”

He glanced at the unmarked ground in front of him and said, "But now, there is not a single footprint, which is so strange." ”

Just as he was thinking, a footstep came from behind him, Rog looked back in the direction where the elven knight was, and saw Murphy cautiously walking towards him, he came to Rog's side and asked, "How is the situation?"

"I found a little bit of a quirk, but I didn't have any more clues. Rogge stood up and asked, "What about you?"

"It's still the same. Murphy shook his head helplessly.

Rogge lit a cigar, held it to the corner of his mouth and pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know if you've ever gotten lost in the wilderness, maybe you've heard a saying that ghosts hit the wall." ”

"I've heard of it, but I haven't encountered it, and that situation seems to require a certain kind of environment. Murphy replied.

"Obviously, we're in it now. Rogge pointed to the stone chamber in front of him and said to Murphy, "I think there must be some kind of magic in this room, which makes all these rooms we walk through exactly the same, whether it is forward or backward, there is no way out, only to spin in place." ”

"I knew we should have made some markings. Murphy said annoyedly.

"I guess that's useless," said Rogge, pointing to the ground with his cigar between his legs, "but when we came back, the footprints here were gone, and even if you left a mark in the room, it would have been erased by nature." ”

"What then, how are we going to get out now?" asked Murphy, staring at Rogge's pensive face.

"The elven knights in the hallway have proven that the hallway hasn't changed, so the problem is in the stone room. Rogge crouched down on the ground, tucked his cigar to the corner of his mouth, and said as he drew a map with his hand on the dust, "Suppose this is the hall we came in." ”

He drew a rectangle, and then drew a passage to the left: "We enter from here, go straight and come across the first stone chamber, it has two directions, we continue to the left, go straight along the passage and turn right, come across the second stone chamber, still go left, then continue straight and turn right, stop at the third stone chamber." ”

He looked back at Murphy, who nodded slightly, pointed to the map drawn in front of him and said: "It can be seen that the four doors of each stone chamber are distributed in a cross shape, the one facing the road is closed, and the two on the left and right sides are open, we are going all the way to the left, if we want to return the same way, we should turn right." ”

"I seem to remember when you say that, we didn't go to the right when we walked back, but turned to the left as usual, and what was going on? Shouldn't the door on the left be closed?" said Murphy, pointing to the map.

"Here's the problem, it's open now!" Rogge said as he looked up and pointed to the door beside him, and Murphy was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering that the door they were at was the one that should have been closed, and when he looked back at the door in front of him, he found that it was closed.

"This ...... How could this be?" Murphy instantly felt a little confused in his mind, and looked back at Rogge in confusion.

"I think this is a kind of magic mechanism in the Academy of Dark Arts, which uses and simulates the habitual thinking of people, it makes every room we pass through exactly the same, so that we have a mindset of turning left when we see a closed door, and when we find that we are not returning, it controls it in reverse. ”

Therefore, when we retreat back to the stone chamber we have walked through, the closed door directly in front of us creates a psychological hint for us to subconsciously go to the left, thus going down the wrong path. ”

Rogge flicked the ashes of his cigar lightly, pointed to the room, and said, "Actually, this is also a mental manipulation trick, and we have fallen into a trap before we know it." ”

"Well, now how do we find our way out?" asked Murphy, with his arms folded over his chest and a frown.
