"Whew...... Let's go. ”

Lloyd held the portal in his hand, which had been brewed and could be unfolded at any time, and nodded at little Olga.

Little Olga's half of the old ancestor nodded, and then raised the tower shield and cavalry spear in his hand, and began to wreak havoc on the surface of the ruins, like a demolition team, attacking the ruins.

But he is not like a headless fly scurrying around, but retreating from the inside out, layer by layer, to the outermost edge area.

And with such a stirring, the mysterious power that was relatively quiet before suddenly became alert and began to flow and converge silently.

Hiltina's voice also drifted from afar:

"I can see that the central area has begun to be restless, and the power that spreads all over the ruins has begun to surge there, as if a spider is closing its webs, and at this speed, after about three minutes, it will open the 'restoration' you encountered before."

"Faster than the last time we met?"

Lloyd remembered being with little Olga, but he spent hours in the ruins before he suddenly met the 'restored'.

This shows that there is a simple threat determination of this force-

You've only been cautious about walking around, and although you'll alarm them, you're not going to fight back right away, and you'll have to wait until you're deep enough for them to think they're a threat and you have to clean them up;

But this time it's different, and if your friends make a big enough noise, they'll of course react more violently. ”

Hiltina helped summarize it, continued to pay attention to the changes in the central area, and then comforted softly:

"Don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you."

"Hmm!"

Lloyd nodded, let out a long sigh of relief, adjusted his mind, and waited for the 'perfect time' to come.

Hopefully, deep in the center, there will be something worth our adventure.

There must be a [Brilliant Gold] there, right?

I wonder if he will be as easy to talk as the historical wind commentary?

But then again, since the [Brilliant Gold] is stronger than the Sage, then it has also entered the realm of the 'Most High'?

After playing the Supreme a few times, did I actually have the privilege of meeting a Most High who might still be alive?

These three minutes, in this state of incomparably tense state, suddenly seemed to become incomparably long, giving Lloyd plenty of time to pour out all kinds of cranky thoughts in his mind.

But time seemed to pass quickly, and before his mind could diverge further, he heard Hiltina remind:

"The restoration has begun, get ready!"

Lloyd quickly gathered his thoughts, and waited intently for her next reminder.

With the escaping inspiration undisturbed, he could already clearly feel that a force had condensed into a thin sphere, which was spreading and spreading from the depths of the ruins, like a bubble that was constantly being blown up, and would quickly fill every corner of the ruins.

He didn't even need to use inspiration, he could see with his naked eyes that the strange 'erasure and restoration' had begun in some of the areas that had been destroyed by the little Olga in the depths, the smashed ruins began to return to their places, and the surface of the ploughed ravines was rapidly recovering.

And this process of 'restoration' is approaching at a very fast speed, towards the location where he and Hiltina are.

And his inspiration and strange instincts, after sensing this power, began to beat gongs and drums frantically, and he couldn't wait to sit down.

"It's now!"

Hiltina's voice came suddenly.

Lloyd immediately threw out the portal that had been brewing in his hand, and then rushed in with Hiltina in his hand.

The next second he entered the portal, the area he was standing in was swept by that force, and the spatial rift and portal that would have lasted for a while disappeared into the air in an instant.

This power can even be 'restored' by the portal......

And Xiao Olga, who had already let the old ancestor retreat to the edge area in advance, could summon the [Projection] back to him more calmly, and then let out a long sigh of relief and said in a low voice:

"Good luck to you, my friend, and Your Majesty the Sage."

……………………

After Lloyd passed through the portal, he felt only darkness in front of him, as if he had fallen into a dark mire, and his body was slimy, as if it had been covered in some liquid.

The body was more like it was completely unconscious, and it couldn't even move its fingers, so it could only 'watch' as he slowly sank into the unknown abyss with the wriggling of the liquid around him.

Fortunately, at this time, a gentle force gently embraced him from behind, and then Hiltina's voice floated from afar:

"It's ...... Front...... Here in the exclusion...... I can only ...... Will help you...... Clear...... Next...... Just rely on ...... Be careful...... Be sure to ...... Come back ......."

Her voice had become choppy, as if it was getting farther and farther away from her.

But she still used her last strength, supported Lloyd's hand, and then put on a posture of raising her right hand forward with her five fingers slightly open, and then said:

"No...... Name! ”

In the next second, Lloyd felt that the spiritual power in his body was suddenly drained by a third.

And the darkness in front of him, and the viscous feeling that enveloped his whole body, also dissipated at once with that spiritual power.

He also regained control of his sight and body, and found himself standing upright, unharmed.

The inspiration and intuition of beating gongs and drums in my head also temporarily subsided, indicating that my current situation was relatively safe.

It's just that the [projection] carrying Hiltina has changed back to an invisible dough state, indicating that the 'childhood sweetheart' has left him.

It seems that in the depths of this place, there is another layer of defense in addition to 'restoration', and Hiltina was forcibly driven away by this layer of defense?

It's really not a means to underestimate [Brilliant Gold]......

"Whew...... Well, since it's all here......"

Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief, looked up again, and looked around, his eyes widening slightly.

He had imagined many of these inner scenes, some gloomy tomb, some holy temple, a magnificent hall, a splendid opera house, and even an empty room, with only a 'ball of light of the main god' floating in the middle.

But I never imagined that it would be this picture in front of me-

This is actually a lakeside with beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery?

Can it make people feel refreshed and calm?

A piece of nature deep underground?

Why is this the case?

Lloyd tried to look around for signs of human activity, but there was no trace of it except for a lone stone tablet and a rectangular crater on the edge of the small pearl-like lake.

That stele should be a tombstone, and the dug pit is a reserved tomb.

When Lloyd approached, he saw that the coffin was even prepared in the tomb, and there were all kinds of colorful petals inside, but the inside was empty, and there was no one lying there.

Just next to the grave pit, a pile of fresh earth was piled up, and an ordinary shovel was stuck in it, indicating that the tomb had just been dug up.

As for the tombstone next to it, it is just a clean and clean appearance, and the epitaph can be engraved at any time, but there is no text left on it.

Over here...... What people are preparing for the grave?

But there's no second person in this place besides me, right?

Don't...... Is it for me?

Lloyd was startled by the thought that came to his mind, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

Then he heard a voice in his ear:

"Don't be afraid, I won't give such a good place to others."

This sentence is not a lingua franca, but an ancient language with a strange pronunciation and undulating tones.

If it weren't for the fact that the Book of Truth in his head was slowly flipping and acting as a translator, Lloyd would not have understood a word.

As soon as these words fell, prompts from the panel followed:

【Ding~Madness +50】

Lloyd didn't have the heart to care about how the mental pollution came from at the moment, and quickly turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.

At some point, there was an extra figure of a fisherman on the edge of the lake.

His exterior is pitch-black and rough, with only a jumble of lines converging into a reluctant human figure, like a sketch drawn with charcoal.

At the moment when Lloyd boldly looked directly at this figure, the "Book of Truth" in his brain immediately turned quickly like a convulsion, and the pages of the book swept quickly, almost causing a storm in his head.

In the next second, Lloyd's eyes turned black, revealing a strange hallucination.

He felt as if he had come to the depths of a cavern, floating in mid-air like a ghost.

It's deep, deep, deep, so deep that it seems to penetrate the center of the earth and connect to the hell that doesn't know if it exists.

The rock walls around the cave are like cliffs that rise into the sky, and they have been sharpened straight and smooth by someone who knows how to do it, so that all kinds of words and patterns can be carved on it.

It's like you're recording something, or you want to pass on something.

But these things, after all, are no match for the washing of time, and have become blurry and completely unrecognizable.

But Lloyd only looked at it a little more, and he felt a blinding burning pain in his eyes, and his mind was a little groggy.

If nothing else, he suffered a wave of spiritual pollution.

But the prompt on the panel did not come in time......

Lloyd was obviously very conscious, but he couldn't open the panel?

Then, he felt his form like a fluttering piece of paper, pulled by an invisible force, and fell into the depths of the cavern.

A moment later, he saw the bottom of the cavern and a huge monster with an indescribable appearance entrenched in it.

Lloyd learned his previous lesson and quickly closed his eyes and didn't look too much.

But this seemed to have no effect, and the huge mountain-like body of this monster was still completely presented in front of him.

Lloyd felt himself in front of him, like a weak milk cat......

Unable to struggle, unable to resist, he could only be dragged by that force and approached the giant monster.

Maybe in the next second, it will be stuffed into the mouth, right?

But before Lloyd could feel hopeless, he found that the giant monster was wrapped in a human form in the center of its body.

He was dressed in antique full-body armor, which may have been shiny and gorgeous, but now it was rusty, tattered, and revealing the rotten bones of waxy yellow.

He could only barely maintain a sitting position, leaning on a high-backed chair like a throne, his head slightly lowered, and his chin supported with his right hand, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was concentrating on a game.

Then, Lloyd's gaze drew closer, revealing the center of the armor's skeleton in the chest.

It was empty, and there seemed to be only a dark hollow.

But as his gaze continued to close, a crisp green finally appeared in front of Lloyd's eyes.

Then there is a beautiful landscape, a small lake like a bright moon, a freshly dug grave by the lake, and a human standing on the side, stunned.

And that person is Lloyd himself......

In the next second, Lloyd suddenly shook his head and woke up from his hallucination.

He hurriedly opened the panel and looked at it.

But I found that I had not suffered from mental pollution, and my mental state was still normal.

What did I see before......

Lloyd was wondering, when he heard the voice from before say again in an ancient language:

"Sit down, do you know how to fish?"

Lloyd nodded subconsciously.

In the next second, there was an extra fishing rod in his hand, which was still a very high-end carbon fiber sea rod, as well as supporting fish protection, fish floats, fishing bait, etc., and even the materials for nesting were piled up at his feet.

"This ......"

Lloyd's eyes widened slightly.

This whole set of fishing equipment is a luxury fishing set that I have been dreaming of for a long time in my mind when I was still on earth.

He even remembered that at the beginning, he couldn't pull a big deal with a cheap rod given by a friend, at most two scavengers, so he felt that his equipment was not good enough, and then he fantasized about such a set of 'graduation clothes' that he couldn't afford at that time.

But right now, this 'graduation suit' actually appeared in his hands......

He was tempted to ask something, but the voice preemptively said:

"Don't read it, don't think about it, especially that dangerous book on you, it's likely to kill you...... I still remember that it was compiled by "Willing to Share Knowledge and Wisdom", right? It's a little too far ahead of your time now......"

After the voice finished speaking, it paused for a few seconds, then put on a somewhat self-deprecating smile, and then said:

"You can come to me with the book he has written, and show that his Mizkatok is still alive, can you?"

"Yes, it's not as good as it used to be, but it's going to continue."

Lloyd said in awe, trying not to be humble or arrogant, but his eyes did not dare to look at it at all, and could only stare at the fish floating in the water.

"Hmm...... Since it's a legacy from a friend, let me take a good look at you. ”

The voice continued.

Then, Lloyd felt a gaze fall on him.

There is no strong sense of oppression, no hostility, very gentle and calm, and I don't even feel the sharpness that can see everything.

But the prompts on the panel kept coming one after another.

【Ding~Madness +100】

【Ding~Madness +527】

【Ding~Madness +3】

After about two or three seconds, the other party withdrew his gaze and asked:

"Are you human?"

This question obviously choked Lloyd a little, so much so that he was stunned for a little two seconds before he quickly replied:

"Of course! I have always been human and always will be human! ”

The other party was also silent for two seconds before he said:

"It's not bad that you can think so...... It's a pity that you're still too weak to kill me, and you can't accept the power to kill me. ”

"Huh? No, no, no! I don't have that idea at all......"

Lloyd hurriedly wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by the other party speaking again:

"Needless to explain, you may not have come to kill me, but I want you to give me a funeral...... And, aren't you here precisely for my inheritance? ”

"Huh? Did you really write that letter? ”

"yes, that's the only way I can think of to safely communicate with the outside world."

After that, there was a little more helplessness and regret in the other party's tone, and he continued:

"Although I would prefer that the human beings in my impression will come to me, give me a funeral, and inherit my legacy, I do not deny the efforts of you and your companions, and you at least have qualified courage and wisdom."

Lloyd was also stunned when he heard this.

I didn't expect that my previous speculation was actually true, and it was really this [Brilliant Gold], who was writing a letter with the help of the clerk's bones.

And the legacy mentioned in the letter is actually true?

In the early days, Lloyd thought that the letter was a hoax, but it turned out that it was all true, except that the identity of the 'uncle' did not match?

Even the letter clearly stated that it was ghostwritten by someone else, but even this kind of detail is true?

It's a ridiculous mystery......

Lloyd didn't continue to dwell on this question, and hurriedly changed the direction and asked:

"That'...... Why would you want ...... Want someone to come to your funeral? ”

"Because I also consider myself a human being, and in that case, I should accept death with all my heart."

The other party gave an ambiguous answer, and then asked in the same way:

"Tell me about what's going on out there, right? Have all humans today become like you? Will you be able to sustain our civilization? ”

"Uh...... It's a complicated question......"

"It's okay, take your time, I've always been very patient."

"Well, today's human race has temporarily stabilized its footing, established six cities, and is preparing to build a seventh ......."

Lloyd then opened up the conversation and described the current state of the world in as much detail as possible.

Including population, urban distribution, technological level, social formation, and power system.

Of course, all of this is limited to what he knows.

And the other party has been listening quietly, without commenting or asking questions.

After answering the first question, Lloyd answered the second question in a humble tone:

"As for whether all human beings today are like me...... I don't think so, so far, I haven't seen a second person as good as me. ”

Although the other party still didn't speak, he obviously showed a mood of wanting to say something......
