Chapter 157: Believe It or Not

With a flick of Maxim's fingers, the boundless pain disappeared as if it had never been seen before.

Still with a warm smile, Maxim said, "My eldest son, Gilbert, this is nothing. ”

"If you don't tell the truth again. This bit of pain, compared to what you have to experience later, is like a little girl's kiss. ”

Maxim dusted off his robes and continued:

"If you endure such suffering a few more times, your meridians will be abolished, and you will change from a powerful cultivator to a wasted person, a wasted person who is inferior to ordinary people, understand?"

Gilbert crawled on his knees, gasping for breath, and said, "There really are no tokens! I can swear by the name of Sacheron, the god of fire! ”

Maxim scoffed and said, "Don't come with me." If the oath had worked, there wouldn't have been so many treacherous people in this world. ”

As soon as the words fell, Maxim let out that strange chant again, and boundless pain came again,

Later, with another flick of his fingers, the pain disappeared, and Gilbert said urgently: "Can you listen to me?" ”

"Say."

"Listen, my oath is different from the general public, you can monitor the whole process, if you really don't believe it, I can't do anything about it."

Maxim stared into Gilbert's eyes for a long time, and then with a flick of his finger, a small spark flew out and landed on Gilbert.

Gilbert was dressed very simply, dressed in a typical archer attire,

A set of leather armor from head to toe, a longbow on his back, and no extra accessories on his body, except for a silver wrench on his finger,

The water bladder and ration packages were thrown on the ground, and the only spatial equipment on his body was the space quiver necessary for archers, and he was only wearing some ordinary underwear.

The sparks fell on Gilbert's body and ignited a light blue flame, Gilbert's body was like someone poured a body of liquor, the light blue flame was not big, but it covered Gilbert's whole body at once.

Gilbert let out an exclamation, only to find that the flames were only gently burning against his skin, and there was no burning sensation in the slightest.

Maxim said: "Don't be nervous, don't move, let me see." ”

Only then did Gilbert realize that the flame was Maxim's means of probing.

Flames wrapped around Gilbert, "Open the space quiver." "Maxim's voice is unmistakable,

The flames crawled slowly down Gilbert's armor, flowing through every crevice and scar of the armor, not even the silk threads sewn into the armor.

The flames eventually flowed into Gilbert's Spatial Quiver, crawling over each arrow inside, but not burning his armor and weapon arrows.

The flames continued to flow, not even the most intimate places on his body, and where the flames flowed, burned his underwear and even the hair of his whole body.

Looking through the gaps in the armor, Gilbert could be seen tattooed with intricate patterns on his body.

Maxim said: "Take off your leather armor. ”

Gilbert took off his leather armor as he said, revealing his naked body.

If anyone saw Gilbert's appearance at this time, it would be very strange, for no one had ever been so clean, like a pig that had just been slaughtered, scalded, and then shaved to the ground.

Gilbert's entire body was tattooed with the image of Sacsalon, the god of fire, whose upper body was muscular like a human, and the lower half of his body was wrapped in flames.

The fire god was holding the Red Flame Divine Sword, the sword body was full of fire, and the two curved horns on his head were also made of flames, with a majestic expression on his face, and a pair of eyes also projected a raging fire!

The fire god's body was also surrounded by flames, and the flames were almost all over Gilbert's body, even on his arms and legs.

Maxim stared at the tattoo for a closer look, and then several more sparks popped, and the flames spread all over Gilbert's body again.

The flame moved slowly along the lines of the tattoo, and Maxim closed his eyes slightly and felt the message from the flame with all his attention,

After a few more moments, the flames crawled towards the package that lay beside it, which contained some ordinary household items.

The flames slowly flooded the package, and finally crawled towards a few spice bottles, and Gilbert said, "Save a little of the spices, don't burn them all." ”

Maxim hesitated, and finally withdrew the flames.

Maxim opened his eyes and said, "Well, Gilbert, now tell me how your vows are going to be carried out?" ”

Gilbert said, "I will set up an altar and use the seven gems from the West as a medium, and I will offer my blood. ”

"After all this is done, a projection of the fire god will appear on the altar,"

"This projection is just a shadow in my mind, corresponding to my oath, not a real fire god projection, you can see it with your cultivation."

"This projection will respond to my oath that if I break it, not only me, but even my father and my family will be punished. The content of the oath can be determined by you. ”

"It's up to me?" Maxim frowned when he heard this,

"Of course, this oath is not to turn me into your slave, and the scope of the oath must be limited."

"Let me think about it, you set up the altar first."

Gilbert hesitated for a moment and said, "Not here, you have to enter the Mirror Forest in front of you for this oath to work." ”

Maxim raised his eyebrows and said, "Gilbert, if you dare to play tricks on me, the god of fire will not be able to save you." ”

Gilbert looked up at Maxim and said, "You have to take a gamble." ”

Maxim stared at Gilbert for a long time, and finally said, "Let's go." ”

Gilbert put on his leather armor and asked, "Can you help me break the ban?" ”

"No, my injuries aren't healed yet, I'll untie them for you when I'm better." Maxim said simply,

In fact, Gilbert knew that Maxim would not unblock him, and the purpose of his words was to test the severity of Maxim's injury.

It seems that Maxim is badly injured. Because, with the cultivation of the mage of the Maxim realm, even if only one percent of the strength is left, he can completely ignore Gilbert's threat.

As the two men continued on their way, the road was desolate, the ground was full of sand and dry earth, and there was no sign of the monster.

Maxim was seriously wounded, Gilbert was sealed and vindictive, and the two walked extremely hard like ordinary people.

The water bladder that Gilbert was carrying had long since been drunk, and Maxim didn't know if he didn't bring water or was reluctant to take it out.

Anyway, Gilbert had never seen Maxim take anything to eat or drink from his spatial ring, and Gilbert could only curse in his heart.

The two walked for a few more days, and at last green appeared in their sight, and some stout and tall cacti and low shrubs popped up in the desert,

There were still water-filled fruits hanging on some cacti, and Gilbert rushed to a cactus that looked like five fingers, and plucked the fruit of the cactus and ate it in a big gulp.

Maxim stood aside and didn't say anything, his injuries obviously didn't recover much, Gilbert saw him changing his dressing every day along the way, but the wounds on his body were still oozing blood.

Gilbert went around picking the fruit from the cactus, and it was not until Maxim urged him that the two continued on their way.

In the distance on the horizon, the rolling hills peek out in the afterglow of the sun, and there is the Mirror Forest, and the end of their journey, the Canyon of True Lies, is close at hand.
