"... I can't believe you actually came here."
While walking on the stairs leading to the third level, Aya has gradually become numb to Wang Lu's maze strategy. In short, it was impossible to expect him to honestly follow the designer's idea. The second level was a very elaborate maze, but he directly used his original magical ability to go all the way, crushing all the space barriers, and directly went to the exit.
The whole process took no more than half an hour.
Of course, it was also thanks to the fact that there was no administrator who controlled the operation of the maze. Everything was done according to the pre-set program, lacking the ability to respond to unexpected situations.
Wang Lu's original magical ability was undoubtedly an unexpected situation. His original magical ability, according to the law, was equivalent to the inherent enchantment of the Western Continent. It belonged to a very rare high-end skill, which had a very unique magical effect in disintegrating space. Of course, if the opponent was a living person, there would naturally be a way to work around it. However, this time, Wang Lu's opponent was a rigid maze. Therefore, the group of people were put into the broken sword world by Wang Lu. As if a space tunnel was opened, they went straight all the way, crossed hundreds of mechanism units, and went straight to the end.
"This is thanks to the fact that there is no administrator in this level." Wang Lu was not particularly proud of this. "After thousands of years, this champion's trial is not perfect anymore, so there's no sense of accomplishment in crushing it. However, I'm afraid the next one is not so easy. "
"Huh?"
"You said, where is the administrator who generously promised to accept the challenge on the fifth floor of the King's Treasure House?" Wang Lu earnestly said, "This champion's trial is essentially the same as the King's Treasure House, but the difficulty is higher, and the design is more unique. Then, according to the situation in the King's Treasure House, I guess it won't be long before we have to face the Holy Light Religion people. The opponent is a living person, so it's not easy to pass by relying on little tricks. "
—
At the same time, in the depths of the King's Treasure House, the Holy Light Religion's Holy One was somewhat anxiously waiting for his subordinate's reply.
Four days ago, through the administrator's authority, he saw the experience of Wang Lu and the others at the entrance of the champion's trial. He knew that they were sent to the ice thorn plateau to look for the king's wine cup. After that, he immediately ordered the elite forces of the Inquisition to head to the plateau to hunt down Wang Lu and his party. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, even the Head Inquisitor himself had personally come out. He was one of the Five Great Legendary Powers of the Church. Although he was the weakest of the five, he was still powerful enough to crush everything!
Logically speaking, the lineup of this operation was luxurious and could be said to be foolproof, but the Saint still felt uneasy.
What exactly went wrong? What could possibly go wrong? Their operation was very secretive, and only a few Saints knew everything. Even the thirteen high-grade professionals who participated in the operation did not know what they were going to do in the highlands. At the same time, the Church reacted very quickly this time. Because they followed a special procedure, it only took the time of a meal from the order to the mobilization of manpower. On the other hand, it would only take them three to four days to travel from the Holy City to the Ice Thorns Plateau. Furthermore, with the Head Inquisitor, no one within a radius of ten thousand miles would be able to hide. Furthermore, their team's combat power was also completely overwhelming. There was no possibility of anything going wrong.
However …
Just as the Saint was feeling worried, an emergency signal was sent.
The Head Inquisitor's voice rang directly in the Saint's soul. It was a little incredulous and a little angry. "They disappeared!"
The administrator was shocked. "Disappeared!? How? "
The Head Inquisitor said in a deep voice, "I also don't know the reason, but in the Book of Purification, their names directly disappeared in an instant. To be able to get rid of the Book of Purification's tracking, it is very likely that they used a powerful teleportation tool and entered an unknown space. "
"Did they discover your existence?"
The Head Inquisitor said. "Impossible. My battlefield intuition did not sound the alarm. It is impossible for them to discover us from so far away."
"If they didn't discover you, why did they run? It's only been three days, and they haven't left the Ice Thorns Plateau yet. They simply can't find enough clues to pass … "The Saint continued to speculate about the various possibilities, but he felt that the situation in front of him was more and more chaotic.
Suddenly, a light flashed in front of the Saint's eyes, and an incredible idea leaped into his mind.
"Could it be …"
Then, he did not even care about being rude and threw the Head Inquisitor aside. His consciousness sank into an independent space in the King's Treasure House, and he used his authority to open a peeping window.
Through the window, he saw a scene that made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
Wang Lu and the others had already passed the second stage and were about to enter the third stage!
How was this possible?! It had only been four days since they entered the Trial of Champions, and they had already passed two stages?! Was this Trial of Champions really in disrepair? Had it malfunctioned?
Ninety years ago, how long did it take him to pass the Trial of Champions? Eight years? Ten years?
Just the first stage, which was to find the wine glasses, took him an entire year as a Saint to mobilize the entire Church. Although the second stage did not have any life-threatening traps, it was very time-consuming. With four of his most trusted subordinates, it took him a year and a half to reach the end.
But Wang Lu and the others had passed two stages in four days. Was there any justice in this world?!
With strong anger and injustice, the administrator wished he could directly tear open the window and appear in front of that group of people to punish them and catch them all in one fell swoop! However, he had to calm down. Even if he was a legendary level, he would still die if he recklessly acted in the Golden King's Treasure House. But should he sit back and watch them continue to advance triumphantly? Absolutely not!
"Hey, what's wrong?"
On the other side, the Supreme Inquisitor, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't get a response for a long time, so he somewhat doubtfully asked.
The administrator sighed. "You guys … come back. The whereabouts of Wang Lu and the others have been found."
"What? Where? "
"The King's Treasure House."
"The King's Treasure House? How could it be? "
However, the administrator had no intention to explain. He impatiently said, "Come back and tell me the details!"
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Inquisitor was furious. Paul, you motherf * cker! You can summon me and send me away at will, do you think I'm your subordinate?! We are both legendary Saints of Holy Light Religion, where did your sense of superiority come from!? Moreover, if it weren't for the bad information you provided, why would I waste a few days running around? This incompetent waste really makes people want to kill him!
In fact, St. Paul, as the administrator of the King's Treasure House, has always been a weirdo in the church. Wisdom, temperament, and talent, none of them were outstanding. However, as a professional, his qualifications were amazing, and his luck was also against the heaven's will. Those geniuses of the same generation were submerged in the long river of history, but he, this mediocre talent, stood out and even advanced to the legendary level! Originally, he was the last among the legendary Saints of the church. However, ninety years ago, he coincidentally opened the King's Treasure House and obtained the administrator's authority, which immediately changed the strategic situation of the Holy Light Religion for the next hundred years. Because of this, his status also rose sharply, surpassing the Supreme Inquisitor and the leader of the Bloodlust Holy Knights, ranking third among the five legendary Saints, second only to the Pope and the Prophet.
However, no matter how angry the Supreme Inquisitor was, he knew that this was no longer a personal grudge. The King's Treasure House was the core of the church. After eighty years of development, the importance of this place had even surpassed the church's former birthplace, so it absolutely could not be lost. Moreover, the Pope had instructed a few Saints in private before. He said that Paul's ability was limited, but his identity was very important. If possible, the others should take care of him and accommodate him. Anyway, Paul seemed to have a high status, but he didn't have much real power in the church. Except for the King's Treasure House, he didn't even have an Archbishop that he could order around. He could be considered as a loner.
At the same time, Paul in the King's Treasure House was burning with anxiety.
It was already the third level … According to this trend, perhaps the third level wouldn't be a problem for Wang Lu and his group. But once they let him enter the fourth level, it would be a test of life and death.
The administrator's authority was obtained by gathering the power of the entire church to pass the first four levels and enter the fifth level as a reward. According to the rules of the Treasure House, as long as Wang Lu and his group achieved better results than him in the Champion's Trial, they could replace him.
What did it mean to be better? If they could pass the fifth level, they would win without any suspense. And even if they couldn't, as long as they passed the fourth level, they would be standing on the same level as Paul. At this time, the comparison would be based on the results of the previous levels — excellent and good meant the difference in results. Although Paul's results in the past were not bad, how could he be compared with Wang Lu who passed two levels in four days?
Once Wang Lu passed the fourth level, the administrator's title would definitely fall into his hands. Therefore, when he saw Wang Lu enter the third level, Paul was already impatient.
Unfortunately, because of the riots caused by the eastern city-states and the Nine Regions people, the Pope and the Prophet had gone to the east to suppress it, and the leader of the Bloodlust Holy Knight was guarding the border. At this time, Paul wanted to ask for help, but he didn't know who to ask!
In his view, the problem he encountered as a Saint, naturally, only a Saint could solve it.
"Why isn't the Chief Inquisitor here yet!?" Although he knew that even if the Chief Inquisitor had legendary level strength, it was impossible for him to cross half of the continent in an instant, Paul still couldn't help but resent him. At this time, through the peephole, he saw that Wang Lu and his team had reached the entrance of the third level and began to attack in an orderly manner. And Wang Lu seemed to have a card up his sleeve!
"Do I have to shed all pretense of cordiality, break the peephole, and directly make a move?" In anxiety, Paul even came up with an extreme idea.
With his status as an administrator, if he risked being punished by the rules of the treasure house, he could indeed forcibly intervene in the process of Wang Lu's trial and interrupt him. Of course, as the price, the punishment he would receive would also be very severe, but it was better than watching the other party advance triumphantly, right?
Thinking of this, Paul finally tried to contact the Pope and the Prophet, but unfortunately, he didn't get a response. And the Chief Inquisitor was still in the distant snowfield … Paul gritted his teeth and decided not to wait for the Chief Inquisitor to come back.
"Well, I don't recommend making a move at this time."
At this time, a gentle voice suddenly came from his side. Paul was shocked. He turned around and saw a pale face without any facial features.
"Faceless, it's you!"
Regarding this church's sharpest knife, Paul's feelings were slightly complicated. On the one hand, Faceless One's position in the church was very special. Although his rank was below the five Saints, only the Prophet and the Pope had the right to dispatch him. Other than that, he didn't listen to anyone. His real status even faintly suppressed Paul, which made people couldn't help but feel awe. Moreover, Faceless One had once directly or indirectly helped him. But on the other hand, Faceless One was not a legend. Facing Faceless One, Paul always felt a sense of superiority.
Faceless One didn't care about the other's psychological activities at all. He just lightly explained, "If you make a move now, it will be completely contrary to the current situation. The entire treasure house will become your resistance, which may be exactly what they want. It's better to wait until they reach the fourth level. We can integrate more forces in the next few days. Moreover, in the fourth level, we can reasonably intervene without worrying about the treasure house's resistance. "
"But in the fourth level, we have no way out!"
"Why would there be a need to retreat in a battle that is bound to be won?" Faceless One lightly asked.
Paul was startled, but then he quickly thought of something and said, "Very well, then I'll do as you say. If there's any mistake …"
Faceless One coldly said, "If there's really a mistake, even if you push all the responsibility on me, you'll lose the Treasure House's administrator authority and are nothing more than a waste. So, use your poor brain power on the right place, think less of useless things."
"You! How dare you talk to me like that? "Paul flew into a rage.
"Don't forget who made you stand here. Ninety years ago, based on your words, how dare you hope to reach the fifth level on the road of trial?" Faceless One lightly said, "So sit down, shut your mouth, and listen to me carefully. This time, you're the one who needs my help, remember this. "
Paul's heart was extremely angry. However, seeing that pale face, a throbbing feeling from the depths of his soul was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, making him unable to say anything more.
