Chapter 25: The Muse
When Adam opened his eyes, he found that he was not in the dark forest, it looked more like a fairyland.
In a bright setting, birds are singing, and all kinds of beautiful sculptures and paintings can be seen everywhere, and in the midst of flowers, a blonde woman in a white veil is elegantly drawing a picture.
Seeing this, Adam involuntarily walked towards the woman, and the woman drew the bloody blade Ruohai launched by Xia Lulu.
As if sensing Adam's arrival, the woman said in a voice like a fairy, "We have finally met, and I have been waiting for your arrival." ”
"Who are you? Where is this again? ”
"My name is Muse, I am the goddess of literature and art, and here is your spiritual world."
"Goddess? In my spiritual world? Are you a true god? Adam was incredible.
"Of course it's true, otherwise where did your miraculous power come from?" The muse glanced at Adam, and Adam felt his breathing half a beat slower.
"You have a great artistic talent, so you are able to awaken my godhead so that you can use some of my powers." The muse finished the final stroke, and the picture naturally floated in front of Adam.
Looking at the other party's ingenious composition and superb painting skills, Adam felt that the other party's words might be true.
"Then why are you in my spiritual world?" Adam's tone was respectful.
"It's a long story." There was some sadness on the muse's face, "My godhead and consciousness can still be retained in you, and thank you to your parents. ”
Hearing the other party mention his parents, Adam was surprised: "You know about my parents? ”
"I don't know much, I just know that they are an extremely artistic couple, and I felt it when I first saw them."
"At that time, I was imprisoned on the ninth floor, and they released me, but they also caused me to be killed."
"I tried to sacrifice myself to protect them in times of crisis, but in the end I didn't succeed in saving them, but I saved you."
"Later, their teammates arrived and took you out, and at the same time my godhead was attached to you, and I wanted to protect you for them, in order to repay their kindness."
This short story shocked Adam's heart, his parents actually went to the ninth layer, so didn't that mean that they were members of the strongest adventure team, the Blood Moon Wheel?
"No wonder Luthor has always been nice to me, and never told me what happened on the ninth floor, so it makes sense."
"Who killed them? Is it the one who imprisoned you? ”
There was a hint of fear in the muse's expression, and after hesitation, she still told Adam the name of the other party, the god of time and space, Kronos.
At the same time, she explained to Adam the origin of the entire dungeon, which was actually a cage for Koronos, who betrayed the gods.
The monsters on the eight floors above are the rest of the gods who have been expelled from various planes and planes, protecting the original world and allowing them to act as guardians of the dungeon.
The final ninth layer is the core of the blockade, and the time and space in it are all chaotic, which is why the adventurers of the Blood Moon Wheel will be scattered into various planes in the process of entering.
And all the treasures in this dungeon were only accidentally entered from various worlds by the distortion of time and space when Chronos was trying to break through the cage.
But this has attracted countless adventurers here, and as time passes, more people will eventually be able to reach the ninth layer, which will loosen his seal and release it.
"And in order to avoid this, I have added a rule to it with my last divine powers: anyone who has ever entered it can only enter once in their lifetime."
"On the one hand, to reduce the loosening of the seal, and on the other hand, to prevent them from being bewitched by Chronos."
After she said this, Adam felt the world begin to tremble.
"You just consumed a lot of my strength, it seems that our conversation can only go so far, Adam, in order to protect you, I hope you had better stay away from the ninth layer."
After saying this, the muse gently caressed Adam's face and slowly disappeared into the world.
Adam in reality also woke up, looking at the somewhat familiar ceiling, Adam climbed up from the mushroom bed.
The wounds on his body have been bandaged, and although there is still some pain, it no longer affects his movements.
Pushing open the door, Adam quickly found a mushroom man who was working, and after a brief inquiry, Adam found that he was actually on the third floor of the dungeon.
After asking again about the location of his companions, Adam said goodbye to the mushroom man and ran towards the chamber of the head of the mushroom village.
The situation along the way was similar to that of the mushroom village on the second floor, and soon Adam found the village chief's room with the help of other mushroom people.
Pushing open the door, Adam saw the mushroom village chief smoking a pipe, and this familiar figure.
"You're Chinobi? Why are you here? ”
Chinobi also smiled on his cute face when he saw Adam wake up: "Dear friend, you are finally awake, and Chinobi is very happy." ”
After saluting the village chief, Adam asked them where the other two had gone.
"Those two friends are now out looking for medicine for you, your wounds on your body have not healed yet, you should be back soon, Chinobi suggested that friends better wait here."
Hearing that the two of them were safe, Adam was also relieved, "You brought us to the third layer?" ”
"That's right! Friends come to Mushroom Village with injuries on their bodies, and Mushroom People naturally help their true friends. ”
"That's why the village chief asked me to take you to the convenient passage that only mushroom people can use."
Adam didn't expect the mushroom man to have this hand, he only knew that to get to the next floor, there was only one entrance to each floor, but the mushroom man's convenient passage was obviously not among them.
As if he had a showmanship, he first asked the village chief for instructions, and after asking for permission, he happily pulled Adam to the back of the village chief's room.
The back of the room was empty, but in the center was a thick green pipe.
Chinobi proudly introduced to Adam, "This is the greatest invention of the mushroom man." You can unblock the pipes on the second, third and fourth floors! It is by virtue of which mushroom people can be united. ”
"So that means we can go back at any time with it?"
"That's right, the pipe goes both ways, but outsiders will only get lost in it, and only under the guidance of the mushroom people can they move freely."
After the presentation, Chinobi pulled Adam out of the place.
"You've been asleep for two days, and Tonobi thinks his friend needs a hearty mushroom feast to rejuvenate! Let's go, let's go eat. ”
After he reminded Adam of this, he also felt a strong hunger in his belly, so he readily agreed.
