"A technique that possesses your memory, a half-body that looks exactly the same but has a completely different personality?"
In the dream bubble, Ash nodded while licking the iron railing: "Yes, he is a tsundere, completely different from me."
Sonia and Diya glanced at him and said nothing. The fantasy bubble here was a walled academy city, and the roads were full of young and beautiful young girls. The four magicians walking on the street were all considered elders.
"16 goes into 8, 8 goes into 4, 4 goes into 2..." Weisse is surrounded by various visions, sometimes flames rise, sometimes rain and mist surge, sometimes thunder flashes, sometimes flowers bloom and leaves fall, "If only one person can pass in the end.
Trial, then the grudge between you and Yin Deng will soon come to an end."
"It's two people, because the Destiny Twins work in pairs." Ash corrected: "But you are right, this long chase will end with death in the trial."
"But you can't use magic power now, and even Bo...even your companions are not around. Can you really beat the silver lantern?" Diya asked worriedly while turning over the flower rope: "Silver
Is the blood of Deng still in your body?"
Ash nodded, "It is true that I can't beat Yin Lan, not only because of the difference in combat ability, but also because of the blood seed. The closer I am to her, the stronger the effect of the blood seed. She is equivalent to sucking my life all the time.
Energy, when I fight with her, she will become stronger and stronger, and I will only become weaker and weaker."
"This time, I relied on the skill of dying together to fight her and bring her down to the same low level as me, but she may not be fooled next time."
He didn't feel it during the battle, but after staying some distance away from the silver lamp, Ash clearly noticed that his body seemed to be too weak. He didn't recover until he ate some high-calorie energy bars in the lounge. Apparently, the blood seed was still taking effect.
"If it's just me and Yin Deng, I guess I really can't do anything this time." Ya Xiu spread his hands and said: "But not only does my half body not have this burden, but he is much more powerful than me. As long as I have a good relationship with him,
If we cooperate, we will definitely be able to take down the Silver Lantern Twins!"
Although Ash is very confident, the Sword Princess Witch is still very worried. After all, they have never seen the 'half-length'. In addition, Ash said that the 'half-length' is a tsundere, which is even more disturbing - not that
Arrogance affects combat ability, but a person who can be easily seen through by Ash is not much smarter than the Fish-Slaying Dragon.
"I found the affix..." Visser suddenly said: "It depends on the color. When you step on the white floor tiles, you are invincible. When you step on the black floor tiles, it will increase the negative effect."
At the same time, the nearby scenes began to freeze and flow backwards, and a piece of information flowed into the minds of the magicians:
"Step on the grid: Back to the dormitory after school, whoever steps on the black grid will lose! When stepping on the white grid, you will not be hurt. When you step on the black grid, you will get a layer of 'damage amplification' curse. Each layer of curse increases the damage received by 10%.
Damage can be stacked and has no upper limit."
"Affix identification reward: a small amount of truth faction experience, a small amount of destiny faction experience, and a small amount of mana."
"Limited affix privileges: In the next Dream Bubble, you can obtain 1 layer of 'Defense Enhancement' blessing by stepping on the white grid. Each layer reduces the damage taken by 5%, with a maximum of 10 layers."
Ash and the others took a deep breath.
Although it is a single affix bubble, this affix is too outrageous, especially for magicians who will spend more than ten minutes searching for clues to the affix.
Because the roads here are almost all paved with alternating black and white floor tiles, once the magician moves, he will definitely step on dozens or even hundreds of black floor tiles, and the curse stack has no upper limit, which means that once the battle starts, they will be subject to additional
1000% damage aggravation, the sanctuary is very likely to be instantly broken by virtual creatures!
It was precisely because of the existence of such outrageous affixes that Ash and the others had to spend a lot of time looking for clues to the affixes.
Ash licked the railing, Diya flipped the flower rope, Sonia walked, jumped, flew and walked backwards... Each of their unusual temptations was derived from the stress reaction of being severely beaten by affixes.
Sonia actually studied various methods of testing affixes in various travel books, and even asked professors such as Trozan and Nidala to learn various methods of testing affixes. But as the saying goes, what you learn on paper will only be shallow, and it will be more profound after a beating. For example, they met a
The affix "Fantasy of Drawing a Sword" means that once the sword is held, the gender will change. From then on, Sonia and Ash's first step when arriving in a new bubble is to draw the sword.
However, as the number of bubbles they experienced increased, they found that the efficiency of affixes also increased rapidly.
Not only Weisel, but also Ash and the others can occasionally find affixes through trial and error. However, the progress of clearing the level every night has not improved much. It is still seven or eight in vain, but the safety has increased rapidly.
With an affix like "jumping grid" that would kill you if you try it, they had defeated the enemy aircraft at least seven or eight times.
Since the first two bubbles were passed so easily, and there was also the affix privilege of "Jumping Grid" that reduced defense by 50%, Ash planned to have some challenges. He opened the "Void Realm Map" and happened to see a bubble with three affixes, so he brought
Let everyone enter.
"Why?"
As soon as he entered the new scene, Ash was stunned on the spot. Sonia thought he had been possessed by the affix as soon as he entered, and carefully squeezed his hand: "What's wrong with you?"
"without."
Ash shook his head slightly and paced forward as if sleepwalking. The bubble was a huge closed building. They opened the door and entered the spacious central hall. The ceiling was a glass ceiling, and the sunlight from far away spread freely.
On the bench, there are potted plants on both sides. There are several people sitting on the bench. Some are chatting, some are reading, and some are even sleeping on the bench... If they were not all wearing prison uniforms, this place would seem to be a
garden.
Prison uniform?
Sonia and the other three were slightly startled, and then realized something.
Ash walked to the bench in front and watched the news playing on the light screen. The content was about the city council announcing new policies. They were all boring phrases that were so lengthy and had low information entropy that they didn't want the citizens to understand. On the bench at the front,
Sitting there was a two-meter-tall green-skinned orc, and a one-meter-three-meter short-legged goblin, and the sound of their discussion clearly reached Ash's ears——
"Isn't it time for the fighting league yet? It's finally the turn of the 'Enemy Dragon' to appear. His matches are the most beautiful. Every game is covered with brain plasma. It's much more beautiful than the Blood Moon Trial."
"Hmph, I bet that the 'Enemy Dragon' will be beaten to pieces tonight. His opponent is the new fighter ogre 'Fernandez'! He is the most ruthless. In the last game, he even pushed the head of the Goblin into
It’s in my chest and I can’t even save it!”
"Fei Nanxue...why does this name sound familiar?"
"Maybe it's a common name among ogres, whatever."
"Too."
...
Ash came back to his senses and said to his teammates: "This is a three-affix bubble. How about we separate for ten minutes to look for clues separately?"
Sonia and the others took matters into their own hands. After Ash left, the three of them looked at each other, and then Sonia said: "Weise, come explore with me."
"No!" Diya hugged Visser's arm: "It's Visser's turn to go with me this time!"
Weisel, who was being fought over by the two of them, gave a wry smile: "Actually, it will be more efficient if we search separately... If we must form a team, Sword Girl and I will team up, and Witch, you can explore alone."
"Why!"
"Because your magic spirit types are much richer than Sword Princess." Weisel said: "You can conduct many tests by yourself, but Sword Princess is basically a sword magic spirit and can only conduct a small part of the test."
Diya pursed her lips in dissatisfaction: "Then you must hang out with me next time!"
"Okay, we've made an appointment." Weisel waved goodbye to the witch, and then accompanied the Sword Girl into another passage.
During these days, she found the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart chat with the Sword Princess Witch, and maintained a polite social distance between herself and Ash, and soon became the most popular teammate in the team.
In addition to her diplomatic skills, more importantly, the Sword Princess Witch had no choice - apart from Weisel, they had no one else with whom they could talk about their relationship issues.
Even if Weisel doesn't deliberately get close to her, as long as she doesn't show interest in Ash, she will still become the target of others' complaints.
Weisel glanced at the white-haired hunter passing by, turned around and asked, "Are you worried?"
"How could you not be worried?"
Sonia sighed: "He seems to have never been safe for a day. He is either involved in a conspiracy or dragged into a whirlpool; he is either being chased or hunted by others. Moreover, his magic power and magic spirit are now sealed.
Almost equivalent to an ordinary person, as fragile as straw, but there is an enemy holding a sickle next to him..."
"When he was in Broken Lake Prison, at least the prison had to abide by the law. He could exploit loopholes in the rules to protect himself. But now he is facing a trial in the wasteland. There are no laws, no rules, no companions, only
Enemies and the unknown…”
Weisel said softly: "It would be nice if he had you by his side."
The village girl bit her lower lip lightly, put her left hand on the end of the sword hilt, and remained silent.
"However, you don't have to worry too much. Didn't he say that he has a trustworthy twin of destiny? A copy of him that has all his memories and skills -"
"This is what worries me the most." Sonia said: "Why do you need to create such a copy in the trial? I think the most likely reason is to let the copy replace the original body. But now he believes in the copy.
"
"You can persuade him to pay more attention to the behavior of the clone——"
"No." The director of the Shenzhao Club shook his head: "I can listen and make suggestions, but I can't interfere with him with hidden possibilities, because he is making judgments instead of asking us for suggestions. I just want to persuade him like this.
It will make him think that I am doubting his judgment."
"But you are doing it for his own good."
"Although I am worried about him, I respect his abilities even more, just like he has never interfered with my career development." Sonia said: "We can only listen to processed second-hand information, but only the parties involved can comprehensively consider it.
Various factors. Those things that I worry about, either he has already considered, or he doesn’t want me to worry about them.”
Visser nodded heavily: "What you said makes sense...but in addition to respect and trust, he may also need your support."
"Um?"
"Listen to what you said, when he was in prison, although his strength was low, he had the protection of legal rules; when he was in the gospel, although he was controlled by a contract, his strength was intact and he had the ability to protect himself. But now, he has neither
Legal rules have no power to protect oneself. Apart from enemies with deep hatreds, there are only unpredictable clones and unknown mysterious trials." Visser said: "If it were you who ended up in this situation.
, how do you feel?”
Just thinking about that situation, Sonia felt breathless and couldn't help but hug herself tightly with both hands.
For a magician, what is more terrifying than the environment and enemies is the loss of power.
Magicians who lose their power are like adults turning into three-year-old children. Originally, they could protect themselves and resist any danger, but now they have to pray for the mercy of fate - this status gap is enough to make
People suffocate.
"...I would be very scared."
"Everyone is afraid, but in order to prevent you from worrying, he has to pretend to be victorious." Weisel said: "Fear, loneliness, worry... he can only swallow these negative emotions in his stomach and digest them alone.
Because he knows that telling you won’t help anything and will only drag you into the swamp.”
Sonia's breathing became shallow and fast. She stopped in silence for a moment and murmured: "Then what can I do? I can't do anything..."
"You should think about it the other way around." Weisel said: "If you were in this situation, how would you want him to support you?"
"As you know, this is not the first time he has encountered danger. When he escaped from prison, when he entered the Gospel Palace, when he was almost squeezed to death by the blood seed, when he couldn't beat the Silver Lantern tonight...
In those moments, would he have any regrets in his heart?"
"Maybe he has been waiting for you for a long time."
Weisel stopped and looked at Sword Lady. After waiting for a moment, Sword Lady slowly opened her eyes. Her ruby-like eyes were bright and bright. There was a hint of blush on her face, but her expression was full of determination.
"Now, Weisel, please go find clues on your own."
"give it to me."
Sword Girl nodded and ran directly along another passage.
Weisel turned around, walked slowly through the prisoners, and walked back to the central hall.
In fact, she has been able to promote the team's relationship progress a long time ago, not only because of her insinuations in the past ten days, but also because the three of them have already been on the verge of a volcanic flood. Without her, perhaps the relationship in the virtual world will not be ready until reality changes.
There is a turning point, but as long as anyone takes a step forward, this stable team will face a trial no less than a doomsday disaster.
Moreover, now is the ideal time for the trial.
Weisel's analysis is not nonsense. At this time, Ash is indeed at his weakest and helpest. If the Sword Princess Witch can give him meticulous warmth at this time, it will naturally be a help in times of need, but in turn, it will give him an insurmountable problem.
The emotional storm is also the last straw that crushes reason.
The test of divine fire in reality, the test of emotions in virtual reality.
Let me see, Ash, what kind of reality is hidden under this human skin of yours.
Soon, Weisel met the witch.
Diya looked behind her curiously, "Where is Sword Girl? Isn't she with you?"
Weisel took two steps back, then turned around and wanted to run away, but the next second she was hugged tightly by the witch: "Tell me, where is the Sword Lady? Did you eat her? Is it delicious?"
