Schuilon ran up a stretch of white soft path, lined with vendors on either side. She felt the force that pushed her run weakened, but with each movement of her footsteps, the distance she could leap forward became longer.

The goblin stall looks similar to a human's, only rewind fifty years. There are no plastic light box signs, only wooden boards with words written in paint. Iron and wooden stalls are piled high with fruit and cloth.

A goblin with an eagle's hooked nose, ears hanging over his shoulders, and a cloth tied around his waist shouted, "Why don't you have fireworks and wine?" and he threw a purple fruit to Shuilonu.

Shuilonu caught it with both hands and bit down on the skin. The taste is sweet, a bit like a large grape. Suddenly, she felt that her feet had become much lighter again, and her running speed had become much faster.

She rushed to a square covered with charcoal fires. The hexagonal field was covered with black, faintly reddish smoldering charcoal, and she jumped over it again.

Xi Ke ran to the front of the square, and the charcoal fire suddenly burst out of the flames, soaring up a building. The whole square turned into a sea of fire. The vendors cheered loudly, whistled, and danced in circles holding hands in pairs.

Rick remembers this as the Wall of Bondage. There is a way to go in the tongue of fire, but it must not be able to go after the last one. Normally, he could choose to bypass this situation, but he knew that he couldn't do that now. If he did that now, he would lose something, and it would be worse than being burned (he's a mage, so he won't get hurt if he's ready to go in again).

The firelight forced him to reflect on his past. After the horrified memories he had just had, he had learned what had been the most painful thing in his life, and now he was wondering if he had done everything in his power to stop it.

He was a child, he didn't understand anything, he was confronted with so many and too big things too early, these were the reasons why he felt like he had no choice again and again. But he asked himself, did he really have no other choice? Or did he not try hard enough to find it? He remembered the classmates who died in the Dark Academy, those who died for refusing to conform to the circumstances and trying to resist. Rick is no more qualified than them to survive.

Qualifications - Xi Ke has never been too far away from him, he knows that he really tried his best at that time. His life is a series of continuous changes, and he can look at it from now to his first memories and clearly understand how he feels at each stage. Therefore, he does not condemn his past self from the perspective of the present.

After being out of society for so many years, he also knows very well what the public will think about these things. He believed that those who were truly sensible would take into account the predicament he was in, but he knew better that someone would reproach him vigorously.

Those people— Those who denounce ogres when they hear stories of people who have had to eat the flesh of their dead comrades to survive in the snow and condemn those people as ogres, those who hear that children kill their parents for money, and grief-stricken parents ask the judge not to release the children, they say categorically that it proves all the fault of the parents, those who say that there should be no social relief measures, that all poverty is caused by the person's own inaction, and that many times reincarnation is the only skill of the rich, those who say that only those who keep to themselves are responsible for the atrocities of the world, and those who say that the war was caused by soldiers and that they deserve their deaths...... Those who always reproach those who have been covered in dust in order to climb out of the pit of fire, as if they were authorities in the realm of justice, and with a posture as high as a cleansed corpse—for whom it is an unforgivable thing to experience a calamity without being completely struck down.

Ricks always suspect that they have done something unremarkable, and they have kicked themselves away at that time, so that they can never accept their past selves, so they have to blame those who survived as their own scapegoats, and by forgiving those who have given up struggling, they test the extent to which society allows them to allow the evil in their hearts to grow.

He said he wouldn't allow himself to join those people. Even if it could make him a symbol of forgiveness and repentance by some definition, an escape from those people's reproaches, or even a pleasurable "object," he would not allow it.

He returned to society, but he did not accept that society would change his view of the world.

He had always known that he had done his best.

He went straight through the wall of fire.

When the fire was extinguished, Kai Si followed. He was a little uneasy and said, "Have you ever fought on this road?"

"It is said that the Love Road was originally the moat of Fairy City. Xi Ke relayed Ah Sa's introduction: "These trials can stop all those who are not human, and those who are not human will be frightened and turn back, and they will be lost forever in the **, and they will hurt themselves because of attack and violence, and these will all lead to death - starvation, dehydration, or blood loss. During the Great War, many humans died along the way. 」

"Test a couple with a moat that will die?" Kai exclaimed.

Xi Ke thought to himself, this foreigner should feel how different the Ethero culture (although it is a fairy) is from them!

As a person who has lived at the bottom of Sarafaydo for a long time, he has seen a lot on television, in newspapers, in publications, in the chatter of restaurant guests, and in national policies, the faces of people who are full of low-end ideas in the country, but who hold the position of high-level intellectuals in the country. When those people emphasize that something is right, the reason they say is not that they can have a good effect, but that "so-and-so country (Duozhou country) does this", as if the government of Duozhou would never mess up. In terms of business, when he was working in the capital, he found that only things under the brand name of Duozhou (but most likely not made in Duozhou, only the brand of Duozhou) were considered fashionable, and domestic goods, no matter how durable, were regarded as inferior or even unpopular. And after he learned that the idea of abolition of the death penalty that killed several of his colleagues came from Duozhou, and those groups used financial support from Duozhou human rights groups to promote this idea, it is normal that Xi Ke has little affection for this powerful contemporary culture. So he was expecting that Kai Si would be able to express some ignorant and intolerant views about the Ethero culture like those who insisted that his dragon master was evil, and then Xi Ke would choke him and flee back to the island immediately.

But Kai Si said in a very common Lamb that even Nick could understand: "What fierce!"

Hack paused for a moment and asked, "Do you like Ataro?"

"Yes!" Kai replied instantly, then added, "I want to be an Ether!"

Xi Ke was quite surprised, there was such a Duozhou person, even Xi Ke himself couldn't say this sentence so firmly!

Shuilonu continued to run, and she ran through a stretch of hay paved road. In front of me is a square park with a forest in it, and the trees are bare this season, and the sunset that is about to disappear penetrates directly into the woods. The moment Shuilonu stepped inside, it suddenly got dark.

Shuilonu was startled. She couldn't see anything at once. She stopped, and heard whispers coming from all directions in the woods. She looked at where one of the voices had come from, and as she turned her gaze, the gap in the forest lit up, a faint light illuminating a dream-like landscape.

When Schuilon saw the stage and the crowd, there were many people with a happy face and applause in surprise. Those people were praising her abilities and thanking her for their efforts. Those people affirmed her self and expected her to continue to live with her true self.

She turned her head to look at another place, and saw that many people had been saved because of her connections, that many people had found their way to life, and that because of her connections, the world had taken on a new look and become a better place.

There is also a place where she sees people happy to share their precious things with her, sees people treat her as their own, and sees everyone like her the moment they see her.

Shuilonu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

What a beautiful fantasy, it was no different from the world depicted by religion, and she was so yearning for all this. She had fallen because she wanted it all, and she realized that it was impossible, and the price to pay for pursuing this kind of world was too great to shatter all her original intentions.

The lesson she learned from her experience with the Order of the Night was that whoever wanted to fulfill extraordinary dreams became slaves to them.

What she should do is to cherish everything she has, cherish the people who will share good things with her, who have affirmed her, and love her, and move forward step by step on this basis.

The rest cannot be forced.

She stopped looking at the bright places, and the places became dark. When her eyes had adjusted to the darkness, she saw an unlit path through the trees, which could be walked on. She stepped onto that place, through the forest. The sky lit up again.

Rick and Kaisi chased them to the forest. Rick paused and waited for the test to arise. He waited a second, two, three seconds...... Ten seconds passed, and there was no movement in the forest, and the sunset still hung there.

Rick tried to move forward, reaching into the forest, retracting it, and putting his foot in again, but there was still no response. Rick retracted his foot and began to think. Asa said that these were the trees of desire. Xi Ke believes that fear and restraint should be easy for many people to pass without testing, but as long as this level is a person, except for the monks, there should be a test.

He waited a little longer, but the forest still didn't respond. Asa says that contentment is the key here, but Syk doesn't see himself as a contented person in the slightest. He's super much. He wanted to find a house near a large library, and he also wanted to be able to travel several times a year to collect medicine in the mountains (which meant he needed professional mountaineering equipment and a lot of money). He wanted to bring home the set of 400 ancient and modern potions, which could buy a car for the total price! He wanted to be able to eat what he liked regularly, and he hoped that his clothes would not have to be mended repeatedly when they wore out, and he wanted a lot of things.

However, if he is unable to obtain these things by his own strength and by proper means, he should not take them.

Is that enough?

Seeing that Rick was not moving, Kai Si squatted down and began to sketch Rick's expression, asking, "Are you being tested?"

"I'm wondering if I'm actually being tested in a different way. With that, Rick pulled out his legs and chased after him.

Shuilonu ran to a cave filled with metallic stalagmites and stalactites. She saw the colorful light reflected on the stones, and she was amazed by the beauty of the place, and she passed quickly.

When he arrived, the metal pillars blocked the way, and he saw a lot of unfriendly smiling faces on the stones. Rick could hear their voices inside the cave.

"Ahh 」

"God, please send a great tribulation upon that unbelieving fellow, so that I will know that You have given me a message. 」

"Die, what's the little report to the knight?"

"This one looks like ...... Why didn't he go somewhere else?"

"Oh my God. This kind of person should die in a fierce war or something, how can he mix in a normal person and bring us disasters?"

"It's this guy that society can't become harmonious, I hope he dies soon, so that there will be less violence in the world. 」

At first, Xi Ke almost drew his sword and attacked. At least he felt his hand reach for the place where he had placed the knife. He felt threatened. Somebody wants him dead? When are they going to do it? He should strike first.

Rick remembered how he had almost died, the guys who had been watching him secretly and planning until he finally did it. He had to protect himself.

Rick took a deep breath, calmed down, and put his hand down.

Voices from the cave kept coming from asking others to die. Rick remembers this as the "Gold of Violence".

What is shown to Rick here is the attitude of some people towards violence. The farther away from death, the easier it is for people to curse people to death because they haven't really thought about what death is. Their curse is difficult to fulfill in peace, so they don't need to be afraid of what it will be like when it does. The fact that these voices show that those people are not violent, but that they are naïve.

Xi Ke had seen the true killing intent, and as long as he calmed down, he could tell if the person who said these words was serious or not. He can tell which people will change this way of thinking if they are scolded, who will think that they are ashamed to think this way as time goes by and when they grow up, and which people are just venting their emotions and will never do anything or make this happen.

Nick was capable of committing a truly violent act, and he knew that he would never give up the ability to fight. This is because it is impossible for him to forget the fears of the past, so he will not be able to rely on society to protect himself as he does in peace. He can't claim that this world can be completely peaceful without anyone killing anyone in any corner of the world without killing any vertebrates in his life, like those lucky people who can live to be on TV without killing any vertebrates in their lives.

So he had to learn something that those people didn't have to learn. He must learn to judge which provocations and threats are false, and learn to act only when they are really needed, otherwise he will hurt the innocent.

Syk took another deep breath, this level was more difficult for him than the first two. He finally saw the outside world peeking out of a metal pillar, and he walked through it and out of it.

When Kai caught up, Rick noticed that his face was blue, so he ran and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nope. 」

Rick has been infected by goblins, and will investigate those who seem to be in a situation: "If there is something, say that there is something. Was there a problem there just now?"

"There were a lot of ghosts there. 」

"Oh. Rick thought it was nothing, but after running two steps, it occurred to him that he didn't see the ghost. Kaisi's ability to see ghosts is much stronger than his. "You have yin and yang eyes?" asked Ricke. The degree of yin and yang eyes is completely different from that of Xi Ke's occasional psychic. Yin and yang eyes are born to see everything, and there is no way not to see it.

"Hmm. I have wizarding eyes. 」

Nick searched his mind for information about the Wizard's Eye on the Battlements. That's similar to Ataro's yin and yang eyes. The main difference is that the term "shaman" was for a long time a pejorative term in Battlement, and the Holy See used this term to indicate those who did not believe in their gods and had to be put to death. It wasn't until the modern era that the Holy See lost power that wizard became a neutral term, but for radical believers in the true God, "wizard" and "slave of the devil" were still synonymous.

It's still risky to open up about having a wizard's eye in Battlement, where radicals will smash their shops, shout and vandalize outside their workplaces. It is not uncommon for children with such eyes to be reprimanded by their devout parents, to be forced to suppress themselves, and even to be unable to accept themselves for the rest of their lives because they have adopted their beliefs.

Because the papal version of eutheistic doctrine holds that it is impossible for a ghost to remain on earth when a person goes to heaven after death. Therefore, those who see ghosts in the world must be manipulated by evil spirits to make people think that the doctrine of the true God is wrong.

After reading the basis for what they said, he thought that it was just a passing interpretation of the oracle by the Holy See. He even suspects that this doctrine was maliciously added by the Holy See in order to prevent believers from using their deceased relatives as a second spiritual pillar in addition to the true God, and so that believers have no choice.

He didn't think that seeing a lot of ghosts would be the reason for Kai's weirdness, as far as he knew, there had been a lot of deaths all over the road, and he would have been to blame for the first stop, but considering that it was the Gold of Violence just now, he could understand what was going on. In areas where the belief in true God is the creed of life, psychics may have lived on the same level as the Rick at the bottom of society, or perhaps worse. Although it is Xike who is being tested now, Kai Si next to him may also be affected.

Perhaps due to a similar circumstance, Rick couldn't help but exclaim, "Tell me what you saw next time. I want to know the way. 」

"Of course. But my visa is about to expire. Kai Si grinned.

"There's always a way. Nick didn't think much of it, so he said it.

Schuilon was running back to the support stone. There's no more force to push her. It's almost dark, and the evening breeze in Wanggu won't be biting, and it's comfortable.

The supporting stone is already at hand. Elves on both sides of the road lay out jelly in small plates, attracting glowing flying insects to stop on them. Some goblins are playing instruments that look like conch chests, and some are singing and dancing with large double-petaled flowers.

Suddenly, she thought that her foot had turned, and she wanted to stand firm, but she felt that the ground on which her other foot was stepped on was not flat, and the ground seemed to be shaking. She thought it was an earthquake, but the goblins were calm, and the juice that was nearly full on the table did not move at all, and not a drop of it spilled.

She tried to stand still, but the ground shook even harder, and it felt like it was even starting to sink. She opened her hands and lowered her center of gravity, but it still didn't help, and she sat straight back. The ground seemed to suck her in, preventing her from standing up.

Schuilon struggled, trying his best, but sinking deeper and deeper.

The finish line was in sight, and she wanted to complete the journey, but she couldn't. She exerted her strength until her muscles began to tear and her nails got stuck in the dirt.

Seeing this, Ah Sa exclaimed softly, "You're still too young to pass this level, I'll help you." 」

Asa crouched down in front of Shuilonu and asked her, "Why don't you wait for him to come and help you?"

"I want to finish the course myself!"

"Why do you have to run by yourself?"

Shuilonu was stunned, she hadn't thought about this, she just went with her emotions very simply. She thought carefully and felt her heart, only to realize that she felt that she was competing with Xike. She seemed to think that if she wanted to stay next to Rick, she needed to show her abilities in some way, so she really wanted to arrive before Rick and laugh at Tick running one step behind her. After thinking about this, her face flushed suddenly. She found herself to be quite competitive.

Asa tapped Shuilono's forehead. Shuilonu felt his mood lighten all of a sudden.
