"You, please let me go first, and I will explain to you slowly."
Letting go of Che'er's hand, Lester took a step back, leaving space for the winged woman.
Appropriate pressure can indeed make the other party retreat in communication and gain the initiative, but it must be done only in moderation, otherwise it is likely to completely anger others.
The tense body relaxed a little. Che Er lowered his head and stared at the relic stone in his hand. His eyes were a little blank and his body was trembling slightly.
"I don't know where to start. They have all changed, they are no longer like themselves, and they have all been here. They want me to be like them. I don't want to be like that, so I can only pretend.
But they seemed to know that I was just faking it, and that I never really came in, so they kept looking for suitable sacrifices to force me down, and you are the sacrifice they chose."
Lester just listened quietly and did not interrupt. He knew that the winged woman needed time to organize her thoughts.
Che'er glanced at the man gratefully, and the order in her mind gradually became clearer.
"Before me, Ji Le and the others have been here many times. After they came out, their whole people changed. They began to despise life and human beings. Their desires seemed to be infinitely magnified, and they became willing to do anything to satisfy their own desires.
,
Originally, after we completed the resonance of spirit and body, we have washed away most of the filth in our souls and retained the hope and vitality of the new souls. This is why we can remain optimistic after living for nine thousand years, instead of being old-fashioned and sluggish.
s reason,
After leaving the ruins, Ji Le would stay up all year long just to fish, and would even angrily beat his fellow fishermen with a fishing rod. Such behavior was simply impossible for him, who was peaceful by nature.
After Aullon came out of here, his temperament became violent. Although he has been trying to hide it, I know that many vastayas and humans living in the village of the ancestors have disappeared. His children and wife are probably dead.
In his hands, Omelia seemed to be affected, but she seemed not to be affected. She has always been stuck with Aulon and rarely had contact with me."
Having said this, Che'er paused for a moment, his long furry ears drooping down, feeling a little frustrated.
"For more than nine thousand years, I have never been able to see through Omelia. I also tested her, but she never responded to me, so I stopped contacting her. I'm afraid they all except me.
It has been severely affected by the ruins.”
Knowing that the man had listened, Che Er continued.
"This was the first place discovered by Lot. Before that, we had been living in the village of the ancestors. There were no ruins under the sacred tree. We know the origin of the sacred tree better than anyone else. Before the sacred tree was born,
At that time, there was a huge golden willow tree here that nourished all things in the world. We called it [Emperor Willow]. We witnessed the birth of Emperor Willow and also witnessed the death of Emperor Willow.
It was a day a hundred years after the end of the Giant War. A group of Volregardians who crossed the sea came to the continent of Ionia. Their leader was Ivern the Heartless. Ivern and his men believed in Volregard.
Regard's demigod Volibear, in order to find the power to resist the Three Frost Sisters, traveled eastward on the continent of Ionia, burning, killing, and looting, slaughtering dozens of villages, and found what they wanted through interrogation.
——The origin of all magical power in the world is the location of [Emperor Liu].
The frightened Ionians had never seen such brutal people of the same kind. They watched in horror as this group of Valoran bandits armed with sophisticated weapons headed for the heart of Ionia, the imperial palace in Omekaran.
Liu, met us living in Omikayalan,
Although we tried to stop the brutal Volregardians, killing most of the invaders without mercy, Ivern managed to overcome our defenses through cunning intelligence and the magical amulet given to him by the demigods.
, came to Di Liu and raised his magic battle ax.
A terrible thing happened. Emperor Liu was defeated by Ivern, and an unprecedented earthquake occurred in Ionia. Powerful magical energy erupted from Omikayalan, causing us all to fall into a coma.
While magical energy was changing the environment of Ionia, countless people died in that disaster. It is precisely because of this incident that we decided to set up heavy protection for Omikayalan to prevent such a situation from happening again."
Without saying much about the Spiritual Maze and the Garden of Forgetfulness, Che Er sighed.
"When we woke up, Ivern, who had obtained most of Emperor Liu's energy, had already left Omikayalan on two legs. His departure also took away most of Emperor Liu's divinity, the beautiful ancient land.
The forest is in shambles, and the constant dissipation of spiritual energy reminds us that we must restore the energy cycle of Omikayalan as soon as possible. Relying on the legacy left by the Titans, we used the giant magic to regenerate a tree to replace the Emperor.
Liu Zhizong’s golden sapling, which is today’s sacred tree, was planted by us ourselves. How could we not know what is underneath the sacred tree? There is no such terrible relic underneath the tree!”
"So what is going on with this ruin? Did it suddenly appear under your noses?"
"I don't know. This ruins appeared more than 600 years ago. Lott said he sensed a strange magical resonance underground, so we gathered a lot of people to dig down in the direction of the tree roots. Soon
I discovered that there was an ancient man-made relic under the sacred tree.
While we were still discussing how the ruins appeared, Lott had already entered the ruins with his men and never came out again. It was like he was possessed by a man. He insisted on finding Lot and entered the ruins. Well,
Zaile came out very quickly and brought many items that were born in the ruins, which made us mistakenly believe that there was no danger in the ruins."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lifting up the relic stone in her hand, the winged woman's face looked a little ugly and a little scared.
"Gile said he found traces of Lot. Unfortunately, all magic and energy are banned in the ruins. Only the ruins stones can briefly release some magic energy to do things that require mana. He has no way.
If you continue to go deeper without food and magic, you can only come out.
After learning about the characteristics of the ruins from Ji Le, in the following hundreds of years, Pansijina, Aullon and Omelia all came here to explore. After coming out, they began to become different from themselves, and followed
The vastaya people they entered the ruins with also disappeared without a trace, and they never mentioned this matter, as if it was normal.
Because I didn’t want to have too much unnecessary contact with Aullon, who had been pursuing me, I didn’t live in the village of my ancestors, but in the canopy of the dense forest in the south.
Until five hundred years ago, Pan Sijina came out of the ruins and said crazily that the ruins were a lie, a trap, and a selfish and despicable conspiracy. She said that she would never return to the ruins again, and terrible things happened. The originally young and beautiful Pansi Jina turned into an old woman the next day. Under the cold and sympathetic smiles of Ji Le and others, she voluntarily went to the Garden of Forgetfulness to serve as the gardener guarding Omicayalan.
I don’t know what Pan Sijina went through, but I fully understood at that time that the ruins had changed the original village of the ancestors, changed Omikayalan, changed the companions I once fought alongside, and everything around me. They all became strangers, and I didn’t even know what the reason was.
In order to avoid getting the same result as Pan Sijina, I didn’t even dare to refuse their proposal to let me explore the ruins. Therefore, every time I explored, I only waited at the entrance of the ruins for a while before going out, and I also tried to imitate their behavior in my behavior. Weird, he even had to express his dislike for Pan Sijiena clearly in his attitude, as if this way he could blend in between them.
They seemed to know that I was acting and cheating, but they didn't say anything and still maintained their original friendly attitude, as if they didn't know anything. You simply can't understand this kind of horror, just like you It's like the family you are most familiar with suddenly has a different soul, and they are always using invisible pressure to force you to do things you don't want to do!"
Che Er's body began to tremble, and his face showed fear.
"Although they did not show any abnormality, after that, they did not enter the ruins again. Instead, they arranged for a suitable person every time and suggested that I let me explore, including this time when they asked me to lead the way. They were also trying to let me Entering the ruins to explore, if I refuse, something terrible will happen, so I can only drag on, keep dragging on their proposal..."
"So, I asked you four questions and you only answered the last one. You really don't know the answers to the other three questions at all, except why your butt is pointed at me. Even the indifference and murderous intent are unknown. You're just pretending to show your unique personality in front of Ji Le and them, and blend in with them. Are you testing them?"
Under Lester's soft gaze, the winged woman was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers, without saying a word.
"It turns out I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
When the man said this, the winged woman became a little angry.
"I don't care if you get it wrong! I'm just doing this for myself!
I obviously warned you not to agree to their conditions last night. If you hadn't come here, I wouldn't have had to come back here so soon! And you don't need to die! Except for Xia Rui, anyone who enters the ruins will die. !You don’t know the seriousness of the matter at all! The price you paid is nothing else but your life! They may be a little tolerant of me, but they will never have any mercy for you, an outsider. You just You can go in and die in there! Just like everyone else!"
Recalling yesterday's conversation, Lester rolled his eyes.
"Who can understand your riddle-like prompts?"
"...In the ancestral village outside the ruins, Omelia's magic can monitor anyone. I'm not sure whether she is also affected by the ruins, so I can only speak like that. Who makes you stupid and unable to understand?
of."
"…Then what they said about the method of shape-changing is also fake?"
"The method of shape-changing is real. In their eyes, you are already a dead person anyway. There is no need for them to lie... unless you can really come out alive and bring out the news about Lot."
"..."
After a while of silence, Lester sighed.
"How many relic stones do you still have on your body? Give them all to me."
"There are two left, and the others have been given to the previous sacrifices... What, do you really want to go in? I told you that ordinary people will die in there, so it is better to stay here with me, maybe they will
I won’t attack you.”
"Maybe it's just missing, and if I don't go in, how can I get the ability to change my body? Can you help me?"
Hearing this, Cheer turned his head.
"Omelia is the most powerful mage. Only she can help your dragon change its shape perfectly...I have given you all these, I can't help you."
Smiling to himself, Lester took the two transparent crystals handed over by the winged woman, holding one of them and trying to make it shine.
"The food is enough for me to consume for a week, and they didn't do anything ugly. After listening to what you said, the problem should be with Lot. If you find him, you can get all the answers. Follow this path.
Just walk on, okay?"
"You are right. There is only this way before entering the ruins. I don't know what will happen after that."
Watching Lester walking away alone, Che Er squatted by the wall in the darkness, hugged his legs and said loudly.
"Hey! Liszt! Since your attitude is pretty good, I'll just wait for you for a week!"
The man's footsteps paused and disappeared into the darkness.
…
Although his impression of the Winged Women has changed, Leicester did not completely believe what Che Er said. As early as in the spiritual maze, he understood that Omikayalan was by no means a good place, calm and peaceful.
There is an undercurrent surging underneath. Here, he can only trust himself and Hidden Dragon. He needs to verify with his own eyes what is going on in the ruins. No matter whether Shi Cheer or Jile is lying, he only believes in his own judgment.
After summoning Yin Fulin, Lester knew that Yin Fulin in the birth and chaotic darkness had an advantage over him and could also serve as an early warning.
"You go ahead and explore the way."
This time, Yin Fulin did not transform into the form of a cat. Instead, she transformed her hands into ferocious devil claws in human form. In Yin Fulin's words, this move was learned from Nocturne.
After walking for about an hour, Lester met Yin Fulin who was returning the same way.
"How's the situation ahead?"
"There is a strange barrier at the end of the corridor, and there is nothing else."
Knowing that there was no other danger, Lester quickened his pace and soon came to the barrier Yin Fulin mentioned.
