The name Halast sent the entire adventurer team into a state of panic. The black-robed mad wizard, just like his countless peers, had a deterring effect.
The name had a charm like a plague. It could make Elwin feel deep fear and despair. It was like an invisible thing pressing down on them from the darkness. It had a suffocating fear that followed them like a nail in their backs, torturing them deeply. The only thing they could rely on was the sense of responsibility in their hearts.
Justice and responsibility, along with fear, tormented them, giving them the only warmth in this wave of darkness.
Everyone in the adventurer team became silent. They stumbled along the dark cableway. The cableway was made of thick iron chains and wooden planks. The dome was supported by huge stone pillars. There were also planks and tunnels dug between the rocks. The cold iron chains brought with them the unique dampness of the underground. It was bone-chilling.
But they didn't dare to turn their heads, and they didn't even dare to turn on their lights. They didn't want to expose even the slightest bit of light, because they could already hear the subtle sounds coming from behind them. The sound of metal scraping against metal, the sound of uniform footsteps, and some muffled sounds. It sounded like something heavy had landed heavily on the ground, and the muffled sounds spread far and wide.
This was a place like hell.
In the past, an adult male could easily take down the kobolds with a little training. But here, they were exceptionally terrifying. The elite armor and weapons, the berserk kobolds. They were bloodthirsty and agile. Their simple and efficient killing instincts made these evil creatures almost into war machines.
There were also alchemy products that made loud noises. There was a goblin wizard who was proficient in using explosives and spells. The goblin wizard that almost wiped them out seemed to be an engineer based on his equipment. This made the adventurer team completely lose the courage to face their pursuers.
Elwin saw Horn, who was running in front, suddenly stumble. She rushed forward to support him. When she touched Horn's hand, Elwin could not help but let out a scream. She felt that the palm was as cold as a block of ice.
"Horn! What happened? "Elwin took out the remaining scroll from her pocket. Thank God, there was still a Remove Curse!
Horn stopped her, "There's no need! It's useless. My Lord is calling me, He is telling me that my destiny has come! Do not look directly at him. Do not look directly at Halast Black Robe. Do not pry into him from the river of fate. Don't look at him directly. Listen to me, darkness and silence are the best protection for you. "
"Those illusions, did they bother you? What is it? "Erwin hugged him, using his meager body heat to try and awaken the last of his life force.
"That's not an illusion, it's a part of reality! Our souls are so shallow that we cannot look directly at the light of our Lord. We are bewildered by the fleeting shadows on the surface of the physical world, as if the world is real. When it truly unfolded in front of us, we realized that our shallow souls and pale lives were unable to bear it. "
"Like an ugly person looking into a mirror for the first time. I was scared to death by myself! I was scared to death by my own ignorance and shallowness! I was scared to death by my own ugliness! My Lord, my Lord Nubian! Do not abandon your pitiful lamb! "
Elwin was at a loss. She did not know what was wrong with Horn. He looked like he was cursed, like those prophets who tried to pry into the existence they could not touch. Her mind was in a mess. The pursuers behind her were getting closer and closer, but the road ahead was a blur. She did not know where to go with Horn in her arms.
In the darkness. She bent down in despair and pressed her body against Horn's chest, feeling the coldness and paleness that were slowly peeling away. She prayed to the gods in despair, "Gods of the sky, earth, and sea! Lord of the astral world, in the darkness. Who is my light? When I'm lost, who will guide me? "
"The soul and personality are closely connected to the outside world. What you see, what you hear, and what you feel form your entire existence, the corridor of your soul. This understanding forms the outline of the soul! "
"Who are you?" Erwin was shocked by the sudden voice.
"Who am I? Haven't you been looking for me? " Chen Ang 'voice was still as calm as ever. "The corridor of the soul is the essential existence of intelligent creatures, because the soul itself is pure. The things that separate your personality are the impurities of the soul, including emotions, memories, beliefs, and other insignificant things.
"Information is powerful. What you see, what you understand, what you believe, these are the things that form the essence of your personality. Information shapes you! But why is it that when you come into contact with the truth, you are faced with the embarrassment of the corridor of your soul collapsing? Why is it that your personality is destroyed by the truth? Just like that priest, who would rather give up his life than believe in the truth? "
"Why?" Erwin could not control herself and asked back.
"Because you are living in lies and deceptions. The personality that you have created is partly fake, deceived, and falsified. The truth and the truth will bring you pain, extreme pain, and the pain of destroying yourself! You have to crush yourself to get rid of this pain.
"From the perspective of personality, from the perspective of understanding, you have to dissect yourself, crush your past self, get rid of those hypocrisy, those illusions, and reconstruct yourself. Compared to this horror, death is a kind of gentleness, so you are scared to death! Scared to death by the truth!
"No, you are tempting us, devil! I know your shady business. Just like now, we are in trouble, and then you come out to tempt us, to use us. When the tip of a pen draws on the parchment, our souls will become your toys, "Erwin said angrily." You are wrong! Very wrong, you cannot defeat us! "
"Falsehood and lies have shaped you, and faith is undoubtedly the sweetest and most poisonous fruit!" Chen Ang sighed.
The adventurer team climbed up the only cable and climbed to a stone platform. Erwin carried Horn with difficulty, tiredly but pleasantly looking at the warm firelight not far away. The adventurer team had had enough of the darkness. No matter what was in front of them, it would not make them retreat even half a step.
When they saw the old man standing in the middle of the hall, they could only regret their stupidity. Nothing could stop them in front of them, except for Halast!
They heard the most terrifying mad wizard in Sword Bay ask in a serious and logical tone, "Then, what is the true wisdom of a wizard?"
Elwin was surprised to see a familiar figure slowly appear in the air. It wasn't like the Mages who used Teleportation or Door of Space, who suddenly appeared there. Instead, it slowly floated up from the depths of the space, as if it had always been there, under the surface of the water.
"The true wisdom of a wizard is the exploration of the universe and the truth. Just like our predecessors persevered, the pursuit of the unknown, learning, and research."
The voice was also very familiar! Erwin was sure. Suddenly, her eyes widened. She did not even notice that Horn, who was on her back, had slipped to the ground. She finally remembered where she had seen this face and voice.
The Bloody Hand, and that demon!
Clearly, she was not the only one who recalled their 'target'. Without exception, all of them were cursing inwardly, It's just a gang in the slums. How cheap must this Legend be to get involved with a third-rate gang? A legendary wizard who can stand on equal footing with Halast. How unlucky must they be to encounter such a troublesome conspiracy on a routine mission!
"Is this the blessing of the Goddess of Misfortune?"
In the depths of the ether plane, Chen Ang's true existence stood there. Even though he was only five steps away from Halast, Black Robe could not detect, sense, or observe him. The depth and level of the plane were so wonderful.
