"Ariel" raised her eyebrows and pretended to be charming: "The little girl is not ready yet."
"My time is precious, I hope you, Lord Stone Elf, can understand."
Lei Xiao looked at "Ariel"'s leisurely look and couldn't help but frowned and said, "I'm ready, please start now."
"Hey, a guy who doesn't understand the charm."
"Ariel" curled her lips, then smiled and said, "But your serious look really makes people's hearts beat."
After the other party finished speaking, before Lei Xiao had time to speak, the scene in the surrounding train office changed instantly.
As a bloody wind swept past, Lei Xiao was surprised to find that he was already on a dark battlefield. Hush.
All I could see was that the sky above my head was covered with dark clouds, with rumbling thunder flashing from time to time, while the cracked earth around me was filled with rivers of blood, and smoke was rising everywhere.
Countless armored corpses, broken battle flags, and curled-blade weapons were scattered everywhere, and there was no end as far as the eye could see.
Sniffing the thick and nauseating smell, Lei Xiao noticed.
The four subordinates Jiang Li, Hong Ye, Ariel, and Erza were already tied to four boulders not far away by heavy iron chains, unable to move at all.
Beside him, there was only the astonished Wade, who was still admiring the exquisiteness of this illusion.
"Lord, come and save this subordinate!"
Ariel's delicate face covered with blood stains showed a look of panic, causing blood and tears to blend together: "Lord, you said you would lead your subordinates until the end!" Hush!
On Ariel's left and right sides, Gracilaria and Hong Ye were already covered in bruises and looked as if they were out of breath.
I saw Jiang Li blinking her long eyelashes feebly and looking forward to Lei Xiao: "Lord, at the beginning, you have already saved your subordinates once. This time, I believe that you will come to save your subordinates again.
Yes, because you are the most respected lord among your subordinates!"
While Hong Ye struggled to break free from the extremely strong iron chain, she bit her lips and said to Lei Xiao: "Lord, you once freed your subordinates from the darkness of never-ending darkness, and you also told your subordinates
You don’t have to bear everything alone, I know you will never leave me alone!"
As for Erza on the outermost side, she kept shouting to Lei Xiao: "Lord, you promised your subordinates that you would help them return to their hometown. Lord, you will definitely not break your promise!"
From the tears that kept flowing from the corners of Erza's eyes and the frightened white cheeks, it was obvious that she was not willing to die just like that.
Looking at the four main subordinates who were calling for help, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly.
This is obviously not the real them. It seems that the test of [God's Stone] has begun. Hush
"Your Excellency, these are the four subordinates mapped out from your memory."
At some point, "Ariel" was already floating above Lei Xiao's head, shrugging and saying: "The sword in your hand now can only cut off the iron chain of a subordinate before the enemy arrives. As long as you rescue a subordinate,
one subordinate, another will be brutally murdered."
"Then it's time for you to make a decision. Which subordinate will you save and which subordinate will you give up?"
"Ariel" finished speaking, and a sharp long sword appeared in Lei Xiao's hand.
Right in front of the four subordinates who kept calling for help, a burly half-orc filled with murderous intent also appeared and began to slowly approach with an evil smile on his face.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing that I need to remind you."
"Ariel" raised her eyebrows, and said to Lei Xiao with a smirk on her face: "Although the four subordinates who need to be rescued by you are just illusions, the real four subordinates are all under your control.
I’m watching your decision from a place I can’t see.” Hush.
"My little lady thinks that even if these subordinates swear loyalty to you and are willing to sacrifice their lives for you at any time, they still don't want to see them being ruthlessly abandoned by you, right?"
At this point, "Ariel" held her chin with one hand, looking like she was ready to watch a good show. She looked at Lei Xiao with interest and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you, little lady."
After listening to "Ariel"'s words, not only Lei Xiao himself, but also Wade beside him couldn't help but take a deep breath slowly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
As the leader of the dwarves, Vader clearly understood.
This is simply an unsolvable choice and the ultimate problem for every leader.
Because no matter which one is saved, the other will inevitably suffer misfortune.
You know, from the perspective of loyalty, they are all exactly the same, Vader can clearly feel this. Hush
What's even more fatal is that several subordinates are still watching from the side, which will further disturb the decision-maker's mood to a great extent.
Of course, from the perspective of a bystander, Vader would be more inclined to save the strongest one, because this can minimize the loss.
But the human woman with slightly curly hair seems to have a closer relationship with the human young man, and is of higher importance, and is not something that can be given up casually.
In addition, judging from the rules introduced by the Stone Elf, a total of two subordinate phantoms can be rescued.
But after rescuing one, the orcs will pick out one of the remaining three phantoms and deal with it first.
This is undoubtedly equivalent to handing over the decision-making power to the other party, making us extremely passive, and may even disrupt the already decided second rescue candidate.
In this case, you have to beg the goddess of luck. The one the other party kills first is not particularly important to the situation. Hush.
As he thought about it, Vader's brows almost knitted together. If it were him, he would have already thrown himself into confusion.
While feeling entangled in his heart, Wade's eyes moved and fell on Lei Xiao next to him, only to find that the latter was contemplating and did not show any trace of panic.
"As expected of your Excellency the Human Race, you are indeed extraordinary!"
Seeing this scene, a feeling of admiration surged into Wade's heart.
Based on this alone, I am undoubtedly far from the latter.
At the same time, it also made the dwarf prince become more and more curious about what Lei Xiao would choose.
And just like what "Ariel" said, where Lei Xiao couldn't see him, Ariel, Jiang Li, Hongye and Erza were all looking at Lei Xiao's profile attentively.
, I want to see which one the lord will choose. Hush
"Your Excellency, if you don't make a choice, this test will fail, and you will be trapped in this illusion forever."
Seeing that Lei Xiao had not moved and looked so steady, "Ariel"'s patience had obviously been worn out, and she urged with a frown.
"Ariel" finished speaking, the half-orc that had been slowly approaching immediately began to run with claws and teeth, and came crazily towards the four imprisoned subordinate phantoms.
This undoubtedly means that the time left for Lei Xiao to make a decision is already numbered.
"Your Excellency, if you don't start taking action, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
Seeing the orcs suddenly accelerating, the anxious Vader blurted out: "I can save every one, but if the whole army is annihilated, you really have no chance!"
Seeing this, Ariel and the other four people who had been watching in the dark couldn't help but sweat for Lei Xiao. Shhh
Although it would be hard to be abandoned by the lord, they don't want to see the lord in such a difficult situation!
While everyone was worried, the half-orc running wildly was already very close to the four phantoms who were still calling for help.
"I'm sorry, it's only the children who make the choice. I want them all, and I can't miss any of them!"
At this critical moment, the corners of Lei Xiao's mouth raised slightly, obviously he already had the answer in his heart.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao did not hesitate. He suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the direction of the four phantoms.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao's tall figure appeared in front of the phantoms.
Next, something surprising happened. Shhh
Lei Xiao, who arrived at the scene quickly, did not take action to rescue any phantoms. Instead, he held a long sword and attacked the strong orc with a wretched face.
The long sword cut through the air, making a harsh buzzing sound, and accurately pierced the orc's chest.
As Lei Xiao drew out his long sword, a flash of bright red arose, and the orc fell down suddenly, immediately mixed with the corpses everywhere.
Behind Lei Xiao, the phantoms were naturally unharmed and began to cheer for joy.
"Is there such a solution? As expected of your Excellency, the human race!"
Looking at Lei Xiao's upright figure as he pierced the heart with a sword, Vader, who had always been calm, almost jumped to the sky with excitement.
Yes, this is the most standard answer! Shhh
Either don't take action or save everyone. This is the style of a leader!
A true leader will never leave the decision-making power to his opponents, let alone beg for the favor of the goddess of luck, because he himself is the god of luck!
While excited, Wade also figured out the key to this test.
Everything the stone elf said at the beginning seemed to be an introduction to the rules, but in fact it was just a misleading.
Once you act according to the other party's so-called ideas, even if you save the two most important phantoms, the outcome will definitely be failure.
"Fortunately, I didn't find the two keys to open the test of [God's Stone], otherwise I might have been trapped and died here."
Wade swallowed, felt a chill down his spine, and started to feel scared. Shhh.
"You actually chose the simplest correct answer?"
Seeing that Lei Xiao easily solved the problem she had raised, "Ariel" pouted with a rather disappointed look: "But this is the person that the little girl likes!"
At this point, "Ariel" put her hands on her hips, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then the little lady announces that you have passed the second test."
Hearing the words of "Ariel", Ariel and others who were watching all this also cheered. The lord has never let them down!
"So, there is a third test?"
Lei Xiao shook off the blood stains on the long sword, and Yun Danfeng spoke softly.
"That's natural. This is just the beginning. I don't believe that you can always find the most standard answer." Hush.
"Ariel"'s fair face was once again covered with a touch of amusement. She held her chin and said lazily to Lei Xiao: "The third test will begin soon. I hope you will not disappoint the little girl this time."
As the other party finished speaking, Lei Xiao noticed.
The surrounding scene has not changed at all, it is still a bloody battlefield filled with smoke.
But not far away, another burly orc appeared.
The difference from last time was that this time there were two in total, approaching from completely different directions.
"The rules are the same as before. Even if you defeat one of these two orcs preemptively, the other will definitely teleport to the front and attack these phantoms directly, or simply use spell attacks."
"Ariel" glanced at Lei Xiao and said calmly: "In short, you can't defeat two of them at the same time no matter what, unless you randomly sacrifice a subordinate phantom." Hush.
"Remember, the little girl only admires leaders who are truly wise and full of courage. Once you fail the test, the little girl will not hesitate to leave you and others on this bloody battlefield forever."
After saying this in a deep voice, "Ariel" still looked like she was ready to see Lei Xiao make a fool of herself, and said no more words.
"This is simply an impossible test. Judging from what happened last time, as long as a subordinate phantom is eliminated, the test will inevitably fail."
After listening to the stone elf's introduction, Wade felt like his head was going to smoke.
Even when he was studying the magic calculator, he had never felt so brain-burning.
"In other words, do you have to kill two orcs at the same time to pass the test?"
Vader frowned and thought for a moment, but his heart became more and more confused: "But it is impossible for the Stone Elf to let the Human Excellency kill two of them. This is simply an impossible task." Hush.
While Wade was thinking hard, Ariel and the other four subordinates also had nervous expressions on their faces, and they all sweated for Lei Xiao.
At this moment, everyone clearly understands.
The next decision Lei Xiao makes is crucial, and may even directly determine the life or death of everyone!
After all, once they are really trapped here, both Lei Xiao and his subordinates present, as well as Vader and other dwarves who need Lei Xiao's rescue, will undoubtedly lose their last hope.
For a moment, an uneasy atmosphere quietly spread in the illusion.
Everyone was quietly waiting to see what action Lei Xiao would take in the face of this unsolvable problem.
"How is it? Your Excellency, have you been stumped by the little girl this time?" Shhh.
Seeing that Lei Xiao was motionless, a look of pride suddenly appeared on "Ariel's" fair and translucent face, obviously feeling proud of the test she had thought up.
However, Lei Xiao's next action was directly equivalent to a slap in the face of the stone elf, making him completely furious.
