However, the figures separated into a clearing, and the illusion ahead changed.

In the open space, there were three vague shadows standing. The slender shadow not long ago was standing next to two tall figures. There seemed to be a fierce argument between the three of them.

But their mouths opened and closed, and their voices were fragmented. Fang Plover could only hear some fragments of information.

"...That's a conspiracy, my brother."

"...I'm almost certain."

"...Someone concealed...the key..."

"...It's the information from that time..."

"...Also, I will definitely find the missing key person."

After saying this, the slender figure turned around and passed by the two of them, walking towards Fang Plover. Everyone could not move, they could only watch her as if she were invisible, passing through everyone.

She finally stopped next to Fang Plover and left a sentence: "Why don't you take it with you?"

"It?" Fang Yu was stunned.

She opened and closed her mouth and said: "...get out of here."

Fang Yu wanted to say something else, but the figure had already passed through his body and disappeared.

Ahead, the two tall figures were also disappearing.

But Fang Yu saw that one of them suddenly raised his head and said: "Father..."

"Let her go," replied the rickety figure.

The two of them turned around and disappeared like a curtain call on a stage.

The phantoms in the square finally dispersed, and in the darkness ahead, something huge seemed to be approaching.

The heavy steps weighed on everyone's hearts.

"Get out of here..." the voice shouted again.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and another illusion appeared in front of them.

That is a figure.

A girl stood silently not far away, watching Fang Plover. Although she could not clearly see its appearance, she could feel the sadness and anger in the girl's heart, as if she felt the same. She raised her hand and moved something far away.

The ground was thrown at Fang Plover's feet.

"Take it away, and I will never trust anyone else again."

At some point, Fang Pultru found that the scholar had walked to his side and was also watching this scene quietly. "Wait," Fang Plover looked at him with some confusion: "Mr. Scholar, can you move?"

At this moment, the girl's figure turned into a cloud and disappeared into the night sky.

Fang Yu subconsciously looked down and saw that there was nothing on the ground.

The scholar did not answer his question, but just walked forward. Behind him, there was another illusion of many people surrounding an altar. When Tianlan saw this scene, she couldn't help but screamed and backed away in fright.

Two steps.

Only then did everyone realize that they had regained their ability to move.

There was no sound in that illusion, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, reappearing into that slender figure in front of everyone.

She looked at everyone quietly.

"Don't believe in false victories."

Then the figure gradually became shorter and his voice became more innocent.

"Hold on to hope and don't be afraid of the darkness."

The figure continued to change, becoming irregular, and the voice became mysterious and unpredictable.

"Get out of this place."

Before Fang Yu could react, the old knight behind him suddenly took a step forward and said righteously: "Go away, demons and monsters!"

He raised his hand, and golden light suddenly appeared from the magic furnace to the palm of his hand, and shot into the smoke. A scream suddenly came from the twisted shadow, and then disappeared invisible.

The scholar turned back and looked at the latter steadily, but he only looked at the old knight for a moment, then turned around and continued walking forward. He passed through the rows of long tables and once again walked towards the statue in the center of the square.

Fang Yu turned around and asked the older knight: "Mr. Dickert, did you feel that the last voice was malicious?"

He knew that the Paladin was always very sensitive to the aura of good intentions.

Dick nodded.

He suddenly took the giant sword from behind and held it in his hand: "It's not just that."

After the longing phantoms separated, the scholar had already walked under the statue.

The statue of the knight cracked at some point.

There is a shining sword stuck on the base.

When Hansen saw the sword, he couldn't help being surprised: "The Blade of False Victory!"

When Fang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be startled. He had clearly observed the statue carefully before, and there was nothing on it. But on the other hand, did the Blade of False Victory also reveal the end of this bizarre night scene? It meant something.

Back on track again?

He is thinking about this problem.

And the scholar reached out his hand.

Until a voice stopped him. "Wait a minute." The person who spoke was Etila. The elf girl looked at the other person warily and asked: "Do you believe that we can leave this place by picking up that sword?"

"Of course not," Hansen quickly explained: "To get that sword, we still have to defeat the Shadow of the Past, then go to the City Hall, and then..."

But the scholar didn't let him finish and interrupted him coldly. "If you don't pick up this sword, nothing will happen."

"But you also said that what happens may not necessarily be a good thing." This time it was Jita who spoke.

Atila protected the little girl, letting everyone understand that the elf girl's previous words were just speaking on her behalf.

Jita's rare tit-for-tat confrontation, her somewhat stern attitude startled Tianlan, who couldn't help but tugged at the corner of her clothes in a low voice: "Jita..."

"Stop talking, Tianlan." Fang Plover saw something and pulled the French girl back. He stretched one hand behind him, where his magic furnace and other things were placed...

The scholar glanced at Jita indifferently. He didn't speak at first, as if he was listening to something. In fact, everyone could hear the heavy sound outside the square, getting closer and closer.

The scholar turned his gaze back and then said, "But it's not necessarily a bad thing."

"No, I'm almost sure it will be a bad thing." Jita replied seriously.

"Why, little girl?"

"Do you still remember what that voice warned us not to believe in false victories?"

The scholar sneered. "Do you believe it? We are the collaborators."

"We don't believe it, but we don't believe you either." Attila stood in front of Jita and took down the spear.

"I don't know." The scholar shook his head.

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards the sword, but before his fingers could reach the hilt, a crossbow bolt flew from a distance and hit the stone tablet. The scholar withdrew his hand and looked at them coldly.

"This joke is not funny," he said.

"According to the rules, this trophy belongs to us." Parker held the heavy crossbow and said to him.

"Hansen." the scholar shouted gloomily.

"Sir, they are right, this is an agreed deal..." Hansen said a little helplessly.

"Don't forget that I am your employer. Your team's reputation record is not good. If I complain to the Adventurer's Guild again, you should know the consequences." The scholar replied.

"Shit" Hansen rolled his eyes and looked back at Atila with a wry smile: "Ms."

"Mr. Hansen, don't let him pick up that sword, we will all die here." Jita replied.

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly: "I don't know if you took the wrong medicine. Look around, Dolifen's past time is fleeing in all directions, can't you feel it? The shadow of the past is coming, and the only way is to take it.

Only by picking up this sword can we defeat it."

"You really know everything, Mr. Scholar." Jita looked at him seriously: "Then why do you want to hide it? Tell me, what is the premise of all this?"

"premise?"

"The premise is that there is the mark of martyrdom of the loyal one," Jita replied: "You know this clearly. The edge of false victory is the 'sword', and the mark of martyrdom of the loyal person is the 'shield'. To defeat the shadow of the past, both are missing.

No, why do you pretend not to know and try to pull out the sword?"

After she finished speaking, she turned back to Fang Plov and Etila and said: "Brother Ed, sister Etila, the official process of the mission is this. The adventurer must get the martyrdom mark of the loyal one, and then go to the Gray Oak Square to get it.

From the Blade of False Victory to the final Scepter of Arrogance, Dolifen has three indispensable items but failed to obtain the Mark of the Loyalist. This has happened in the past, for example, the escort mission failed. But in that case

, we must never pull out the blade of false victory.”

"Because only by pulling out the Blade of False Victory will we have to face the shadow of the perfect past. If we don't pull it out, we can leave this place just by defeating a false illusion. But in that case, we won't be able to get more miles.

It’s just a reward for Fen’s three things.”

She looked at Hansen and asked, "Mr. Hansen, am I right?"
