In front of me, the scene on the third level of the fortress was no different from the second layer, with a pitch-black hedron floor full of dust, and an object similar to the strange lampstand in the center of the second layer.

I walked to the center, surveyed the lampstand, and then looked at Alust beside me and said, "This thing is exactly the same as the one on the second floor, and it seems that something is placed on it, and it has just been taken. ”

Alust touched his chin and said, "What is the item that was taken, it's very concerning." ”

After listening to what Alust said, I looked around at the entire empty third floor, and said to Arest: "It seems that the most critical thing in the second and third floors has been taken away by John, and there is no point in continuing to investigate here, while John has not yet found out that our third round of competition is not over, let's hurry up and speed up the progress." ”

Alust nodded at me, and finally exited the third level of the fortress.

Then, strangely, the fourth and fifth floors, no different from the second and third floors, were all empty spaces, and the objects on the lamp stand in the middle were taken away.

After that, Alust and I walked cautiously to the top of the fortress.

Arriving at the entrance of the top floor, Alust and I hid our breath and energy fluctuations to the limit, and in front of us was a pale yellow protective barrier blocking the gate of the entrance to the top floor.

I placed my right hand lightly on the barrier and was about to tear it open a gap, when I suddenly realized that the barrier was not as simple as the barrier at the entrance to the first layer of the fortress.

Seeing that I was frowning, Aust whispered, "What's the matter?

I nodded and whispered to Arest: "Well, this barrier seems simple, but it has a system like an alarm trigger, as long as I break it through the gap, this barrier will trigger an alarm, with my current strength, I can't break it without triggering an alarm for the time being, it seems that we can't go any further." ”

Alust patted me on the shoulder and whispered, "It's okay, at least we already know a little bit about the fortress." ”

Just as Alust was about to continue speaking, I suddenly heard a small voice in my ears, and I motioned for Arus to speak in particular, and at the same time let him feel the top floor of the barrier and the gate with all his might.

Then Alust and I watched with bated breath as we felt the voices on the top floor.

"His Royal Highness Emperor Lucas, Lord Ruyo, everything is ready, the Dark Crystal, which has accumulated dark power in this fortress for many years, is very well charged, and the dark power in the ring is charging faster than we expected, everything is ready, can 'that plan' be implemented?"

"Judge Liuxiao, at that time, the 'Forgotten Realm Connection' plan was planned by you, and it was indeed a complete failure that I spent so much manpower and material resources on my expedition at that time, are you sure this time?" "Please rest assured, Emperor Lucas, the plan was too hasty at that time, and the connection system was only a preliminary experiment, and now that the technology is mature, it must be foolproof. ”

"Hmph, then I'm looking forward to the coming moment. ”

"John, everything is ready. ”

"Your Excellency, everything has been prepared, and this time, whether it is the energy absorption of the 'Final Altar', or the dark crystals in the 'Condensation Barrier', which has absorbed the endless dark power in this Forgotten Realm over the long years, it is many times stronger and more stable than last time. ”

"Alright, when the game is all over, you can start executing. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

After a long time, I heard any sound coming from it.

I looked at Arest, whose face was extremely ugly, and looked at the spiral staircase going down with my eyes, and whispered, "Get out of here quickly, this place can't stay for long." ”

Then Alust nodded at me, and the two of us tried to keep nothing to say, and quickly retreated towards the first floor......

John, who was on the top floor at this time, looked at the top passage blocked by the barrier and the gate, and said slowly: "Are there still miscellaneous fish coming in, but even if you hear my conversation, you won't know what the true content and purpose of the 'plan' is, and in the Forgotten Realm, you will all become stepping stones for the Templar and the Crusade......"

Alust and I quickly escaped from the fortress, broke through the barrier of the first gate, and quietly found an inconspicuous place that would not be noticed by the players, and lifted our own stealth scroll effect.

Aluster looked at me with a long sigh of relief and said, "Sure enough, there is really something wrong with this round, and it must have been Judge Liuxiao and Emperor Lucas who were talking to John at that time." ”

I nodded and looked at the fortress and said, "There's no doubt about that. ”

Alust looked at the pitch-black ring, where the light and power were better than the previous games, and said, "What exactly is the plan they are discussing. ”

I shook my head and said, "This point John only mentioned the plan in the conversation with Emperor Lucas and Judge Liuxiao, but never explained what the plan was, always be vigilant from now on, God knows what will happen after the game, the game will end in a few games, it will not be long before the 'plan' that John said, let's go back to our seats and tell Reiner and Guhao about it." ”

Arust nodded at me.

Then I and Alust returned to our seats.

When Gu Hao saw me and Yalust returning, he still said with a smile on his face: "Oh, where did you two go, it took so long, and the game just now was really exciting." ”

Reiner smiled at Alust and said, "What's the matter? There are still a few games left in the third round, are you worried about what opponents you will meet in the next fourth round?"

I watched the result of another match in the ring be announced at Angeline's voice, and I took my glass and drank it down, looking at Ghowe and Reiner with a solemn face, and whispered everything I had seen and heard when Alust and I entered the fortress.

Gu Hao and Reiner, who were suddenly smiling, instantly froze their expressions.

Gu Hao's smiling face had already been put away, replaced by a serious face, and he looked at everyone with narrowed eyes and said: "This matter is not trivial, and since it is a plan designated by the leaders of the two major forces, there must be an ulterior secret, while there is still such a short matter, let's adjust and recover the energy in my body first, if after the game, John will teleport us players to Lou Luolan City to continue the following competition, it is better to say, if not..... It's not just all of us here who are in danger...."
