With a trace of anxiety, First Mayfair slowly followed behind Second Mayfair. She couldn't help but lose consciousness when she looked at her majestic temple guard uniform.
"Are you scared?" Second Mayfair suddenly asked in a low voice... without looking back.
"No..." First Mayfair shook his head and said mockingly: "I just suddenly realized that I look good in this guard uniform... I have never worn it before."
First Mayfair, she had already escaped from the temple the day before she officially passed the test as a member of the Guard... She couldn't figure out why her other self, Second Mayfair, was already an official member, and even a member of the Guard.
vice captain.
"You really want to wear this suit?" Mayfair turned around this time.
First Mayfair opened his mouth, looked at Second Mayfair's eyes, and said subconsciously: "You...don't you know why?"
"I know." The second Mayfair smiled and said, "Because her father used to be a member of the temple guard. From a very young age, Mayfair admired her father very much and dreamed of growing up.
In the future, I will also become a member of the Temple Guard."
It seemed that this was the only topic they could talk about... Then they each fell silent and walked in the temple, avoiding the patrolling guards one by one.
Finally, they walked out of the temple together... and arrived at the end of the trial road behind the temple.
"Here?" First Mayfair subconsciously looked at Second Mayfair.
She said: "This is the road of trials... and also the place where it begins. Do you know why, if you want to become a tribal village, you must pass the road of trials."
First Mayfair thought without thinking: "Because only those who pass the trial road are the most outstanding elves, and only those who are capable can shoulder the future of the entire tribe. This has been the case since ancient times."
The second Mayfair suddenly said: "So, do you think the current village chief in the village can be said to be the most outstanding elf... Is he wise enough and brave enough?"
First Mayfair subconsciously said: "I don't know... I don't have much contact with him. But since he is already the village chief, it is enough to prove that he has passed the trial and is capable enough."
"What if I say that the current village chief has not actually completed the trial...he just deceived everyone?" Second Mayfair said abruptly.
"What did you say? Grandpa Village Chief...this is impossible!" First Mayfair said in disbelief: "How could he deceive everyone!"
"Why not?" Second Mayfair said calmly: "As long as someone pretends to be his identity and completes the three tests of the trial road in everyone's eyes, wouldn't it be enough?"
"Who!" First Mayfair asked subconsciously.
"Father." Second Mayfair said in a deep voice: "The man who combined with mother and left you...my man, he successfully completed the trial."
This is something she...First Mayfair never knew.
"This...but?" First Mayfair was even a little disbelieving about this, "For what...pretending?"
"In order to gain the power to defeat the divine envoy." Second Mayfair breathed out softly, "You know, as a sacrifice, you cannot combine with the opposite sex you love... Unless someone can succeed in the big sacrifice.
Only by defeating the divine envoy can the sacrifice be taken away. Father understands that the power of the divine envoy is definitely not something he can handle, so the road of trial is his only hope."
"Isn't it absolutely forbidden for members of the Temple Guard to challenge the road of trial... That's why you have to pretend to be the village chief?" First Mayfair reacted instantly.
Second Mayfair nodded and said: "Only in this way can we avoid the sight of the temple. Furthermore, my father doesn't care about completing the trial and becoming the village chief. All he cares about is defeating the god."
So... in the end, it can also be used to deceive people."
First Mayfair shook his head and said subconsciously: "I have never heard of what kind of power you can gain through the road of trials."
"Of course." Second Mayfair said indifferently: "Because the current village chief was not elected by himself at all. He was just lucky enough to be selected by his father. He was elected as the new mayor without enough consideration.
The village chief... Of course, he doesn't know how strong he will be after completing the road of trials. In fact, you can think that the current village chief is a fake, and he is indeed the same."
With that said, the second Mayfair walked directly out of the totem stone pillar at the back door of the temple... The first Mayfair saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
She even caught up quickly, but at this time she was greeted by a thick white fog, and she almost couldn't see her...another self.
Second Mayfair suddenly said: "These totem poles were built by the goddess [Prama] to resist the spread of these white mists... Do you know who created these white mists? You
You should be able to think of who owns the power that can make the goddess [Prama] fearful in this tribal world."
"[Glittan]!" First Mayfair couldn't help exclaiming at this time: "Another legendary sleeping goddess!"
As they said this, a passage suddenly opened in the thick white fog, and then they saw a statue... the third level of the trial road, a statue that would ask questions to the challenger.
At this time, looking at the female statue in front of her that was blindfolded and hung up with chains, like a sinner, First Mayfair backed away in fear.
"[The Statue of the Goddess of Golitan]..." Second Mayfair said slowly at this time: "She died here and became this statue."
"She? Who?"
"Who else could it be?"
"Goddess...Glittan!"
…
…
Captain Malik's patience almost made Dr. Gers despair. He had already started talking about Jesus, but he didn't talk about it so much. Then, with Captain Malik's interest in playing with various torture instruments, he quickly talked about it【
chessboard] thing.
Even the servants, masters, etc. at this time, Dr. Gers, seemed to care about what they could say and what could not be said, just to protect themselves.
"...That's pretty much it." Dr. Gers finally breathed out: "We have no choice now. The only thing we can do is to solve the problem of Mayfair's time retrieval before we can leave here...leave [Today's
], otherwise we may all be trapped in [today]."
Captain Malik remained silent.
Dr. Gers said: "I know this is difficult for [chessboard] creatures like you to accept... I thought the world in front of me was the whole world, but I didn't expect that the whole world was just in the hands of others.
Playthings, even my own life and death, exist just to please others... You don't seem to be surprised at all?"
Captain Malik said calmly: "Someone once said the same thing as you."
"Who?" Dr. Gers asked subconsciously.
Captain Malik glanced indifferently and said slowly: "It's a guy named Geralt. Like you, he claims to be from the world outside [Chessboard]."
"Geralt... the old guy Sneff's accomplice?" Dr. Gers opened his mouth and said immediately: "No, even if Geralt really told you this back then, in Mayfair,
When you go back in time, you probably don't remember anything... No, you said that you know how to really kill me. Even if you go back in time, I will never come back! So you knew it from the very beginning.
Regarding Mayfair’s time retrieval, you even knew that two Mayfairs would appear at the same time [today]. I understand... So that’s how it is!”
"What do you understand?" Captain Malik narrowed his eyes.
Dr. Gers said slowly: "I understand why you didn't expose Mayfair at the door of the inner palace at first, and then you clearly planned to let her go, but then suddenly attacked her and imprisoned her."
"Tell me."
Dr. Gers said: "Because when you were in front of the inner hall, you were not sure which Mayfair appeared in front of you and fell to the ground, so you did not take action. You took her away to a remote place.
place, deliberately said such words, and even wanted to let her go, actually to determine who she is... As long as Mayfair's answer is not the answer that Mayfair, the deputy captain of the temple guard, should have, you can
Make sure...then take action. But you seem to not want Mayfair, as the vice-captain, to know that you actually know that she can go back in time?"
"Some people say that smart people die quickly." Captain Malik said expressionlessly: "It seems that you are not far from death."
"You don't want to kill me." Dr. Gers said quickly at this time: "If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me long ago, and you would not have brought me to this place and asked me such a question.
Many questions because you remember clearly what happened to send me to the inner palace. Now, Mayfair's time has gone back, and I have also gone back... So, to you, I am also special. You
You should, what else do you want to get from me... As long as I still have a certain value to you... In fact, what I mean is that I can cooperate with others, such as you."
"Time's up." Captain Malik sneered at this time.
In the darkness, his palm slowly stretched out...and reached towards Dr. Gers' head to grasp it tightly.
Dr. Gers even felt as if his skull was about to be crushed by the opponent... He felt as if his skull would break open at any time. He was in so much pain that he had to scream.
"It's time to go to the big festival." Captain Malik said slowly.
He put down his hand, and Dr. Gers' head dropped directly.
…
…
The road to trial, the third level...in front of [Glitan's Statue of the Goddess].
Listening to the second Mayfair's narration, the first Mayfair seemed to have thought of something and blurted out: "Who... who killed the goddess [Glittan]? According to legend, the goddess [Prama] and the goddess
[Glittan] together created the hometown of our elves.”
"The only one who can kill the gods is the gods."
"It's the goddess [Prama]... How is this possible?" First Mayfair said in horror: "They, they are sisters!"
Second Mayfair said calmly: "What do you think the world outside...the world outside Senling is like?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it before." First Mayfair shook his head, and then said: "Maybe it's a very prosperous place with many human beings and things they've never seen before.
I am very happy, there are many delicious things... candies and so on."
Who...who said something similar to me?
When First Mayfair said this, he felt a sense of déjà vu for some reason.
"It's a beautiful world." Second Mayfair shook his head: "But the fact is that it is not so beautiful... The outside world is being dominated by a terrifying force, which is changing the outside world at will.
All rules are like a supreme true god. The whole world has become a puppet of this force... In the end, this force will even invade here. The hometown of elves was created by two goddesses. For
To them, they are like children. Therefore, in order to resist the rule of this mysterious force, the goddess [Prama] made a decision."
First Mayfair was subconsciously startled and said in a trembling voice: "What decision..."
The second Mayfair said: "Dedicate the life and strength of a goddess to resist the invasion of this terrible force that dominates the entire world... Because of this, the goddess [Glittan] died at the hands of her beloved sister [
Prama's hand."
"The goddess... the goddess we have always worshiped, actually..." First Mayfair's face turned pale at this time, "actually killed another goddess... the goddess who jointly created our elves' hometown..."
"It's hard to accept, isn't it?" Second Mayfair said quietly: "For all elves...such a goddess [Prama] is like a sinner. Yes, such a goddess [Prama]
, is it still worthy of being worshiped by the elves?"
"Also...just so that the Elf tribe can continue to survive..." First Mayfair said tremblingly: "In order to allow the Elf to survive and not be dominated or enslaved, everyone... everyone will understand...
"
"Everyone will understand...understand." The second Mayfair smiled pale at this time, looking at the first Mayfair with a sad expression: "Did you know that [Prama] was killing his sister, the goddess [Prama] with his own hands?
When Goli collapsed, you also said the same thing...even the expression you have now is the same."
First Mayfair backed away in fear... She subconsciously looked up at the [Goddess Statue of Glittan] in front of her, as if she was being tortured from the depths of her soul, and suddenly collapsed on the ground.
"You...why do you know this..." No. 1 Mayfair looked at his other self absently.
"Why?" Second Mayfair walked up to First Mayfair, "You said... why is this? Because I am the strength that my father gained on the road of trials."
At the same time, on Second Mayfair's forehead, black patterns began to bloom slowly.
