"Entering the subspace is different from breaking into the personal realm. If you hadn't grabbed Karl's hand before, you wouldn't be with us now."
Cyril explained calmly that using her almost violent ritual to enter the subspace could not control the landing point, so it was expected that all the judges would not be around.
"Since you know this, why didn't you warn me in advance?"
Joanna looked at Cyril with questioning eyes. She didn't like this situation of being out of control. Moreover, she came here with him because she was holding Karl, so why did Cyril appear next to them?
Yes, this had to make her suspicious.
Cyril just saw Joanna's eyes and guessed what the judge was thinking, so she immediately began to explain:
"Karl and I have a very special contract to do this. Don't get it wrong."
While talking, Ceryl patted Karl's clothes and shook off the dirt on them.
"Don't say anything like everyone holding hands and coming in together. That would be very dangerous when entering the subspace. It's just good luck that you and Carl are okay."
With these words, Joanna's mouth was completely blocked, and Cyril stood next to Karl, with a victorious smile on her face.
Seeing her expression, Karl was 80% sure that this was Cyril's revenge.
He has finally figured out the rules. If they are ordinary people who have nothing to do with them, no matter what these mortals are doing, Cyril will simply ignore them.
But if they are extraordinary people with talismans, even if Cyril looks disdainful on the surface, she still regards these people as some kind of equal existence, and has corresponding reactions to their insults or praises.
After Karl arranged his clothes, the three of them began to go deep into the forest.
Because according to Joanna, she felt the place where Gnar crushed the communication stone before, and other judges should also be able to feel it, so it was right to gather there first.
As he hurried to that location in the forest, Karl also observed the surrounding environment.
There were many oak trees in this forest, and they all grew taller, almost blocking the moonlight above their heads, so that they had to light oil lamps for lighting in order to move forward smoothly.
There was a gentle whisper of wind on the surrounding branches, and the temperature also made people feel a bit chilly.
Karl's magic-strengthened eyes can even detect insects moving around him. If he hadn't known that he was in the subspace that Cyril mentioned, he might have thought that he had traveled through it again.
After all, this subspace is too real, almost no different from the real world.
Thinking like this, Karl decisively asked:
"Celiel, please explain the principles of this subspace."
"sure."
As expected of Carl’s auto-following encyclopedia, Ceryl immediately started introducing it.
"As you know, the personal realm forms a barrier in an area through rituals to achieve its own goals, but its advanced form, subspace, is completely different."
"This kind of thing records a certain environment in the memory of the caster, and then uses a very cumbersome way to reproduce the environment at that time. A subspace prepared early is almost a collection of traps, and the degree of danger is so high
It’s unimaginable.”
"But we've been on the road for a quarter of an hour, and we haven't encountered any danger yet."
After hearing Cyril's description, Joanna, who was walking in front, spoke.
Indeed, if this was a trap set by the Lord of Eidolon, then why were the three of them traveling here safely without encountering any danger?
"Perhaps the things he arranged are used against other people?"
Karl asked casually. He was not sure what the reason was for this state of ignorance.
"No."
Seliel shook her head and continued:
"Don't focus on pure battles. A pre-arranged subspace can also be a large sacrificial place, or a ritual space that can be used at any time."
"As for the true function of the subspace we are in, no matter how you guess it, you may not be right until it unveils its final veil."
After the science popularization was over, the three of them continued on their way.
After advancing in the forest for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the location that Joanna had sensed before.
Bloody, terrifying, disgusting.
This was Carl's first reaction.
What was displayed in front of the three people was a very miserable scene.
All four of Joanna's subordinates were in the clearing of this forest before, but no one could speak anymore because they all turned into bloody corpses.
The bright moonlight poured into this forest clearing, just like the spotlight on the stage hitting the ground, covering the place with a layer of white gauze.
In the center of the clearing is a dead tree. Karl's eyes can no longer tell what kind of tree it is. The bodies of Nal and the four of them are placed in the four directions of the clearing in squares. There is no trace of their bodies, and they died in the same way.
They are also different.
The four people are:
His head was smashed by a stone, and his body lay on the ground;
Pierced through the heart with a stone sword and nailed to the ground;
Strung on wooden spears and driven into the ground;
And the guy who was placed in a stone pot, and his body had turned into a blurry puddle.
Even though Karl felt that he had seen a lot, the scene in front of him still made him feel nauseous, and the food Nina prepared for him at night had a tendency to gush out of his stomach.
Joanna looked at the corpses of her men, walked over without saying a word, and began to examine her former subordinates.
Cyril noticed Karl's face very carefully, patted his back thoughtfully, and then whispered in his ear:
"How about we run away first? We'll be in big trouble this time."
"What's the meaning?"
Karl suppressed the nausea in his chest and asked softly.
Cyril only communicated with him like this after Joanna left. She must have made some unexpected discovery.
"The background of this Lord of Eidolon is not simple. If I'm not careful, I think we will all fall into it. I don't think I can even see a bunch of these judges."
"What did you see, that it was so exaggerated?"
Ceryl usually wouldn't lie about this kind of thing, and she definitely had a reason for doing so. Thinking of the possible crisis, Karl couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"I know this place, it's Connaught Forest!"
"This place has long been destroyed in history. This Eidolon Lord is at least an old monster who lived in the mythical age."
This is too exciting!
"What are you doing? Come here quickly."
Before Karl could ask in detail, Joanna in front interrupted their whispers and called the two of them over.
"It's nothing, just a little disgusting."
Dealing with Joanna, Karl pulled Cyril over.
The disgusted expression on his face perfectly concealed his inner uneasiness.
Things seem to be getting more and more troublesome.
