"Symbol?"

Audrey took a few steps back, giving the stage to Hermes and Erechhogg, vaguely guessing something.

The giant rabbit was obviously a little disappointed when he saw the reaction of the two, and said lightly:

"I've been dreaming the same dream for a month, haven't you realized?"

Audrey knew it in her heart, but she asked with a puzzled look on her face:

"Realize what?"

Hermes said leisurely:

"A new era has arrived, and you and I are both remnants of the old era, and we must look for ships that can transition to the new era."

"Of course, it wasn't difficult for us."

"But if you want to find a ship with a 'symbol', it's not an easy task."

"And you, my friend."

The giant rabbit looked at Erhehog at the top of the stone pillar, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked:

"You are a symbol in yourself!"

The large, gray-and-gray Erechhog did not reply, and Hermes had not spoken since he entered the room.

At this moment, in the face of Hermes's undisguised hostility, Erethhog spread his wings covering the skin with a loud bang, and the surrounding area was instantly overshadowed.

All three of them knew exactly what Hermes was talking about, and even Bowly Dellaw could guess it.

The new era is about to replace the old, and now is the cusp of two eras, during which all will seek change, and angels are no exception. They will either remain in the old era and hinder the advent of the new era, or they will transition to the new era ahead of schedule.

And the good and bad of these two options are the same, the good is the prosperity of the other, and the disadvantage is the loss of the other.

It is clear that Hermes has chosen the New Age, and is not willing to be just an ordinary angel in the New Age. He wanted to go further, even if not to be Sequence 1 or Sequence 0, but at least to gain some symbolism.

And hunting the spiritual dragon of Ereihogg is the best choice!

The reason is also very simple.

As one of the only remaining three dragons, Erethhog was the overlord of the Second Age and the angel of the dragon clan in the old days. But in the new era of First Flame, Erethhog has also invisibly benefited greatly—he is still an ancient dragon, but not just a dragon of the Second Age. Because of his identity as an 'Elder Dragon', he has been connected to the immortal Elder Dragons of the 'Zero Age' in the Underworld!

When the new era has completely arrived, Errehog can even directly become an 'Immortal Ancient Dragon' by virtue of his identity as an ancient dragon! And even if he can't reach this height, he is at least the descendant of the Immortal Ancient Dragon, and he can inherit a trace of the 'immortal' characteristic.

This is His 'symbol'!

Even if you don't do anything, Erechhog can get the corresponding symbol, which is the gift of the new era!

But apart from these three ancient dragons, almost no one will be able to obtain the corresponding symbol directly from the New Age, because they have no corresponding relationship with the legends in the 'New Age', and unless they directly gain the favor of the First Fire, there is almost no chance of 'obtaining' the symbol.

But Hermes was clearly not content to do so, so he chose to take a different path.

Since He cannot obtain symbols, hunt other beings who possess symbols and take their symbols.

That's why he set his sights on Erechog, secretly connecting his dreams to the labyrinth. But Erry Hogg was an angel after all, so how could he be so easily calculated by Hermes?

Hermes knew this, of course, and that's why he used the Garden of Eden, a city of mind that was the work of the 'visionary' and inextricably linked to every extraordinary person in the 'audience' pathway, even the ancient dragons.

Therefore, as long as the labyrinth can be linked to the Garden of Eden, it is possible to find Errehog's dreams invisibly and precisely, and at the same time forcibly merge his dreams into the labyrinth.

That way, Hermes would be able to easily find Erethhog and go on his hunt.

As for Audrey and Paulie Dellaw, they are completely passers-by who have been innocently implicated.

Because they themselves were in the Garden of Eden, and Hermes's plan happened to be unfolding at this time, they would naturally be involved. Of course, this is also their own choice.

After all, if they didn't rush into the labyrinth, but stayed in the Garden of Eden, they wouldn't have gotten involved in this symbolic battle.

Hermes did not rush to make a move, but looked at Audrey and asked amicably:

"Do you mind?"

"No, not at all."

Audrey took another step back, smiling and showing that she didn't want to get involved.

She didn't need to take the symbol of Erethhog, nor did she have a reason to help Hermes, who was a member of the Dusk Hermitage Society, and in a sense he should be Adam's angel.

But because of this, Audrey was a little confused.

After all, Adam can be regarded as a hard-line remnant of the old era, and the gods led by him resist the arrival of the new era, or at least the new era that is not dominated by them. In this case, Hermes actually took the initiative to choose to join the new era, and even snatched the 'symbol' of Erech Hogg, isn't this equivalent to betraying Adam?

Did Adam not care about this little thing, or was Hermeth and Adam not of the same mind?

Audrey had no way of knowing the answer, nor could she analyze anything from Hermes's attitude.

As the angels of the 'audience' pathway, each of them is a natural actor, and everything they show is acted, and they want others to see it. Therefore, judging their position only by superficial emotions will only lead to the wrong answer.

Moreover, Audrey is not sure that Hermes's 'refuge' is true, which may also be part of Adam's plan.

So she doesn't intervene in the battle between them, she doesn't leave there, she observes them, and that's what the 'audience' approach does best.

Hermes kicked his feet, and suddenly became extremely large, like a small hill.

At the same time, directly above Him, the dark sky suddenly brightened, and under His feet, the earth cracked and cracked, spewing red magma. Immediately after, a vague and distorted figure stood out from behind it.

This figure was dressed in a simple white robe, his face was difficult to see, his age could not be distinguished, and he could only vaguely see that it was a man.

Behind his head, a halo of brilliant light hangs, like a miniature sun; At his feet, there is an illusory clock divided into twelve squares, each with a symbol symbolizing a different time; Behind him, a shadow hung like a curtain, and within the shadow, there seemed to be an eye peering out silently.

The figure had barely appeared as an outline, causing the entire dream labyrinth to shake violently, and gray fragments continued to fall from the void.

Two diametrically opposed sensations, filth and depravity and pure sunlight, rapidly spread around the giant white rabbit, eroding or assimilating the area.

However, the figure in a simple white robe is always difficult to really take shape, and it is impossible to move from history and fantasy to reality. Whenever his silhouette was about to become clear, his figure twisted like a machine that had been jammed with a signal.

"Ancient Sun God!"

Audrey recognized the existence almost instantly!

This is the existence that has truly ended the Second Age, hunted most of the ancient gods of the Second Age, and its strength is almost equal to the old days!

So even if it's just a woven phantom, it contains horror that ordinary people can't bear.

Of course, this woven phantom could not really exert its own strength, not even one in ten thousand, it was only symbolic.

For Hermes's enemies can only be 'real' if He believes that the apparition is real, otherwise it will always be an apparition.

But trying to deceive Erech, who is located in the same path and in the same sequence, is obviously a fool's dream.

Therefore, Hermes did not expect to make Erechhog think that the apparition was real, he only used the apparition of the 'ancient sun god' to intimidate.

Yes, intimidation, that's what Hermes was for!

As an angel of the Second Age Dragons, Erethog must have experienced the glory of the Dragons, the decline of the Dragons, and even the fall of the 'utopian dragon' Angleweed.

Therefore, the ancient sun god is undoubtedly the most feared psychological shadow in Erhehog's dragonborn.

Just a phantom can make him fearful. That's what Hermes wants, and he can take advantage of the flaws in Erhehog's heart to expand his advantage step by step and gradually defeat it!

This is also the most conventional way of fighting in the 'spectator' path to high sequences, and although it is simple and straightforward, it is effective enough.

Of course, this is the ideal state.

However, in the actual battle of the 'spectator' path to a high sequence, if the two sides are at the same level, it is difficult for all kinds of means to produce real results:

One can dive into the island of consciousness and carry out deep hypnosis, one can guard the door of the mind and body and prevent any external consciousness from entering, one can spread spiritual plague and use the sea of collective subconscious to unconsciously erode the enemy, and the other can soothe oneself, treat psychological diseases and maintain mental health......

At the level of Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, the Sage of the 'Spectator' path can also rely on extraordinary abilities to engage in various intrigue battles:

either set a trap in advance, and then stealthily induce, operate step by step, break the opponent's spiritual defense line in one fell swoop, and complete hypnosis; Either focus on defense and support, relying on powerful seals to defeat the enemy; Otherwise, it will be directly 'dragonized', and a double game will be waged both physically and spiritually.

In the final analysis, these three kinds of battles still depend on who has a deeper study of the spiritual realm, whose will is stronger and firmer, and who has a better chance of accumulating advantages step by step in a long-term battle.

But at the angelic level, it's a different picture.

Because everyone is a real mythical creature, the length of time for 'dragonization' is meaningless, and the use of 'extraordinary ability' is also very similar, and no one can gain an advantage through extraordinary ability, nor will they be easily defeated because of the other party's extraordinary ability.

At this time, the main reliance is on 'insight'.

Whoever can better find the opponent's psychic loopholes can weave the corresponding nightmare, directly attack the enemy's mental weakness, and destroy the psychic defense line step by step, so as to achieve the effect of 'scaring madness' or 'scaring death'.

This is why the name of the potion in Sequence 2 of the 'Spectator' pathway is 'The Insight'.

The word 'insight' is enough to explain the fighting style of the angels in Sequence 2 of the 'audience' pathway.

Of course, if he can be promoted to Sequence 1, then the writer's extraordinary ability to weave reality is actually a kind of 'insight'.

It's just that it no longer directly acts on the enemy's psychic loopholes, but uses the way of weaving reality to put the enemy in a desperate situation step by step.

On the other hand, although Hermes was only targeting Erechhog. But the 'Ancient Sun God' woven by Hermes doesn't just affect Erhehog, it also affects and pollutes all living things around him, whether it's Bowy Dellaw or Audrey.

But luckily, Audrey was able to resist the effects of this pollution, so she dared to stay here and watch the battle.

In contrast, Bally Dellaw, who was only in Sequence 3, had curled up on the ground and let out a roar of pain.

Although he had not completely lost his mind, his mind was inevitably polluted, and even if he medicated himself afterwards, he could not completely remove this pollution.

Provided, of course, that he gets out of here alive.

But this is obviously impossible.

Neither Hermes nor Erechhog would kill him, but neither would they help him.

And Audrey, she won't let herself fail in her trials.

Just as she was thinking, a girl in a black dress suddenly appeared in front of Audrey's eyes, she looked at the dragon and rabbit chasing in the sky, and asked suspiciously:

"What's going on?"

"An accident."

Audrey whispered an explanation of what had just happened.

After hearing this, Calula laughed a little:

"The Immortal Ancient Dragons are just remnants of the old era, so their purpose is to change from the remnants of the old era to the remnants of the older era?"

Audrey asked:

"But they don't seem to have any other choice."

Not everyone can be like them, and get the favor of 'fire'.

"Why not?"

The corners of Calula's mouth were slightly hooked, and she said jokingly:

"They can be the kings."

Audrey whispered; "I don't think they want to die yet."

"Since it's none of our business, let's go."

Calula glanced at the two angels who were still chasing in the sky, and said nonchalantly:

"We have to rush to the next one, so don't waste too much time here."

"There's the next one?"

Audrey blinked, she didn't know there was a next one.

Calulah asked, confused:

"Didn't I tell you?"

"Absolutely not." Audrey shook her head, cut the railroad to the point.

"Oh, I guess I forgot."

Calula also blinked, and wrote lightly:

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just to clean up the remnants of the old era."

"Sweep away the remnants?"

Audrey's expression froze, and she immediately looked up at the sky.

So, that's why Hermes came to hunt Erhehog?
