1438 Paradox

The coming light was like morning glow covering this sea area, and the drizzle turned into linlins to suppress all the terrifying energy fluctuations that were about to be set off by the storm in the void. The translucent light pillars like miracles also dispersed the light that had been surrounding this haven.

The layers of clouds in the sky were shining obliquely on the center of the broken bridge in front of the tower. Looking at the clean ground exposed in the center of the void storm that gradually disappeared like ice and snow, the pirates who were slowly approaching around them also stared.

His eyes widened with surprise, and the sigh belonging to Tielin was raised in front of the tower as some pirates shouted and knelt down in pious postures. Accompanied by this, he gradually walked in that direction.

Footsteps: "Mr. Molnar."

"It seems like the relationship between you two is pretty good."

Following Tielin's line of sight, the familiar tall magician's black shadow turned his hood surrounded by dim yellow light toward the darkness inside the tower: "Why, don't you go with them?"

"I'm still more concerned about you than the relationship with those adventurers."

His straight body, which had never been bent before, finally bowed and made a salute. Tielin lowered his head respectfully and said: "Tielin, the captain of the Steel, has never had the opportunity to express his gratitude to you for helping us. This time I finally have the opportunity."

If you don’t have the opportunity to meet in person, please allow me to represent the entire crew of our Steel——"

"No need."

Slowly raising one of his hands, Molnar, who was a bit taller than Tielin, then suppressed Captain Hook's words of thanks in a low voice: "The opening of the safe haven was not originally

It was not my original intention, and it was just a coincidence to accommodate and receive you all. In line with the attitude of being kind to foreign guests, I have always used the most appropriate way to deal with your presence... Hmm."

"You seem a little nervous." There was a slight pause in the middle of the sentence. The tall magician seemed to notice the slightly restrained movements of Captain Hook behind him: "Why, I noticed something is wrong.

A place?”

"As a qualified pirate captain, I will always have some feelings about unknown dangers." Tielin hurriedly raised his hands and replied in a hasty voice: "Please don't worry about it, it's just instinct.

"

"……Ah."

Shaking his head helplessly, the tall figure belonging to Molnar then started walking towards the tower again: "I wanted to have more communication with you, but it seems that it is not necessary now - thank you

For your contribution to maintaining the calm of this deep sea, and for your selfless work in collecting the remains of sea beasts in the past period."

"If there is nothing else, you can leave." In the scene where the breath of the broken bridge from outside the tower completely subsided, the figure of the magician also completely disappeared into the endless darkness in the tower: "I

There is one last person in my hand who needs to be taken care of. If we are destined in the future, we will definitely meet again on the shore of this deep sea full of dangers."

"Wait, wait a minute." Stretching out a hand toward the front of the tower, the bearded man named Tielin finally mustered up the courage to break the embarrassment he maintained on the surface: "I, I still have something to say.

Want to say it!"

"...what else?"

Instead of returning to the original place as Tielin imagined, Molnar's voice echoed in the captain's ears again like a broadcast. Captain Ironhook, who heard the echo, also took two hard breaths.

Then he put on his usual serious and ferocious face again: "We want to know the whereabouts of that prisoner! It's the one named Rogerev who was discovered by the adventurers before..."

"That person." As if he had just remembered this matter, Molnar's voice on the broadcast seemed to have a helpless sigh: "That person was locked in the carriage brought by the adventurers.

Well, they were also responsible for the interrogation before. Although I don’t know what the current situation is, at least life is relatively safe——Why?”

"Are you going to take over the prisoner instead of those people?"

As if he was talking about some unrelated passerby, Molnar's voice became much more casual at this time: "I understand your current mood and thoughts, but entering the void portal does not mean that they have already

Just leave..."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that." He waved his hand carefully, and the clarifying voice belonging to Tielin then wandered back and forth at the door of the tower: "I just, uh... I just have some things I want to find.

He, by the way, I want to discuss it with him."

"We also plan to deal with the matter regarding the Black Palm." His voice paused for a moment, and then he lowered his voice again as if he was testing something: "Originally, we planned to leave this ship to

Those adventurers came, but now the situation has changed——"

"Their future has become uncertain, hasn't it?"

Sensing the hidden meaning in the other party's words, Molnar's voice from above the tower also became silent: "Indeed, because it was them who entered the void, everything began to go against the norm.

cognition and truth, thus full of various possibilities.”

"Can they achieve the possibility that I hope for?"

As if talking to himself, the voice began to slowly disappear in Tielin's ears: "This sense of expectation that is beyond control-"

“It’s really a fresh enough feeling.”

*****************************

Endless void scenes began to appear in front of Duan Qing's eyes with the feeling of weightlessness. Then, the floating body fell to an invisible plane representing the reality under the cover of some kind of falling consciousness. It had already been in the previous process.

The gray-robed magician, who had rolled countless times, took a long time to pull his consciousness away from the spinning feeling, and the focus of his vision gradually focused on the surface still visible below the plane he was lying on.

The endless and profound void in the distance: "Does this scene seem a bit familiar?"

"I think so too." The voice from Xueling Huanbing then sounded in his ears, accompanied by the bright and penetrating eyes of the white-haired woman who were also staring at the strange scene below.

: "It should have been in the last UEFA Cup qualifiers. This scene appeared in one of your games. It was called the Avenue of Stars or something..."

"If you think about it, it seems that the scene of the Bridge of Miracles also appeared in the game at that time." Gritting his teeth and gradually getting up from the transparent floating plane, Duan Qing continued panting: "Could it be that the battle at that time

, have you foreseen the arrival of this moment?”

"Don't think about these unnecessary things." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who shook his head slightly and continued to explore with his steps, then turned his vigilant eyes to the left and right: "Now that we have arrived here, we

You can only act according to your current situation. If you still fail after trying your best, it is not too late to admit this foreseen fate."

"Nonsense, that battle didn't end with our defeat." Duan Qing put away his last heavy breath and slapped his body, then interrupted Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice with these words: "

If it hadn't been for the series of things that happened to you later, our team might have been able to go further."

"What? It's impossible, impossible, just with your crooked melons, cracked dates, stinky fish and rotten shrimps -"

"Who are you looking down on? Although it is true that there is some suspicion, but you don't look at who is leading the team?"

"So what if it's you? At that time, you were neither a magician, nor had you ever experienced such a heaven-defying thing as experience level reshaping. If you just relied on the Intention Sword—"

Boom!

A dull roar was then inserted into the playful conversation between the two people, slowly swinging towards the deep void with a suffocating sense of oppression. A purple thunder and lightning emitted from the source of the sound also followed Duan Qing's body.

The end of the field of vision flashed past, illuminating the void that was originally like the universe for a moment: "...It's such an unforgettable sight."

"It's definitely a different world than the one we've seen before."

He stopped holding his forehead, and the comment belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing sounded behind Duan Qing, who had just stood up: "Originally, I wanted to equate the void world with the other world, but now

It seems that this void world should also be part of the original setting of the free world."

"Perhaps one day in the future, this world will be open to players who come to explore." He also cautiously began to explore the edges of the surface of the platform he was on, and Duan Qing's voice also began to sound low: "But this is not the case.

It means that we must understand the rules here by ourselves. Since Molnar has not given any hints, we can only rely on ourselves... No, we should have an expert."

"Could it have fallen?" Tentatively extending his gaze downwards, Xue Ling Huan Bing's face also showed a worried expression: "Not only Luo Na, but also Asahi Dongsheng and the others are now

no idea where it is--"

"gentlemen."

An indifferent voice then sounded in the ears of the two people, accompanied by the same figure belonging to the codeword Ninglan who appeared beside them at some point: "Ninglan is back."

"It seems that the information we need has been found." Sensing the smile on the face of the maid player, Duan Qing put away his slightly tense body: "How is it?"

"The space is probably less than a hundred square meters in size, and the scene outside this standing space is not false." Pointing to the left and right sides where the two people were, Aiyu Ninglan also put her hands together.

In front of him: "Because she was worried about not being able to return, Ninglan did not continue to test downwards. As for the whereabouts of the other people -"

"In front of these transparent platforms that you can stand on, there seems to be a road extending forward." She pointed her finger in a direction vaguely illuminated by starlight: "Whether it has always maintained a straight line, Ninglan still doesn't know yet."

clear."

"But this is the only way forward for us now."

Duan Qing said the last words on behalf of the other party. Duan Qing nodded his head imperceptibly, and the mutual recognition of their gazes was instantly confirmed in the exchange of eyes between him and the other two women, turning into steps moving forward together.

They walked in the direction indicated by the maid player earlier. The sharp sound of piercing the air when the metal wire was waved also appeared from time to time as several people moved forward together. The codeword Ninglan who was walking in the front also used such a sound at this time.

The method kept testing the authenticity of these transparent floors, and it was only when Duan Qing and the others were left behind in the twists and turns of their forward trajectory for the ninth time that the maid player who had been responsible for exploring the path broke the silence and said: "Found it.

,gentlemen."

"It doesn't look like he fainted on the ground as described in the normal storyline." Duan Qing, who also noticed the conspicuous golden figure and did not rush forward, let out two helpless smiles.

: "That's right. With Ephra's abilities, this level of danger is simply not enough to defeat her."

"To the left."

Instead of smiling happily as Duan Qing and the others expected, Fula, who also saw Duan Qing's presence, then made a turning gesture in the direction where they were: "Don't ask why, everything in front of you is

It's not as simple as you see now."

"This is a void, and the perception of it is very different from the normal world."

She said these last words, and an extremely serious expression appeared on Duan Qing's face. Feeling this seriousness, the gray-robed magician then exchanged nods with the other two people around him.

He nodded, and finally decided to follow Fulla's instructions and move closer to the left: "Anyway, they are all transparent floors for us, so there is not much difference in the first place - oops!"

The feeling of stepping into the air then appeared in his consciousness, accompanied by the dull look on Duan Qing's face that had not yet reacted when he took the lead to fall towards the depths of the void below, and the low-pitched expression from Dark Whisper Ninglan.

The screams of Huyu Xue Ling Huan Bing also gradually sounded in the ears of the magician. The moment he wanted to cast an emergency spell, he was interrupted by the feeling of falling to the ground: "Ouch yo yo

, what’s going on—what?”

"Why did you fall here?" Duan Qing, who was rubbing his head and sitting up, stared at Fula's figure who was close at hand with her hands on her hips with wide eyes: "Did you save us?"

"There is no reason to harm you first and then save you. Do I look so bored?" A rare look of anger appeared on her face, and Fulla then closed her eyes to calm her mood: "Because

The space you just passed through was distorted, and one of the folded end points is here."

"This is one of the rules of the void."

Shaking away the long, messy golden hair that covered her side and front, she explained solemnly.
