"Fifteen minutes have passed." Celine breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that he didn't encounter anything. "
"What a pity. He's lucky." Alethea said with flagging interest.
"I don't want to pin the result on probability at all," she complained. "Please choose a more secure method next time, okay? "
"Let's not talk about what happened." Alethea changed the subject. "Guess how long a mortal king can stay in there? In the records left by mortals in the Land of Dawn, the longest time was less than a quarter of an hour, right? "
"Witches are no better. The time they can stay in the Divine Land has nothing to do with magic power. Even the Union has a group of mortals who take turns to monitor the relics. But considering the age and experience of the king, he should come out soon. "
According to all the records Celine had read, warriors who had personally experienced the battlefield and fought with demons would generally stay longer, regardless of whether they were witches or mortals. The highest record was set by Lady Alice, who lasted for almost two hours. As a king who was behind the scenes, it was already very good to have such a performance.
"Maybe he will want to stay longer. After all, it is the first time he has seen such a magical place. "
"Then he will feel dizzy or even pass out." Celine suddenly realized something and looked at Pasha. "Did you forget to tell him about this?" "
"Passing out is not a loss of composure, and it won't cause any real harm." Pasha waved her tentacles. "On the contrary, this uncomfortable experience of spiritual exhaustion can reduce his impulse to touch the relics of the gods, which is a good thing for everyone." "
"So... you didn't forget?" "
Pasha did not deny. "Some things are better left unsaid. If it were us, we wouldn't want to be restricted too much when exploring the Divine Land, right? "
[Now I understand why Lady Natalya chose you to be one of the Three Seats candidates. Alethea smacked her lips.
Celine could not help but have the same feeling. Compared to being frightened to the point of losing his composure, fainting out of spiritual exhaustion could be seen as an exit without side effects. It could reduce the curiosity of mortals and not destroy the relationship between them. Obviously, Pasha thought more deeply than either of them.
But after waiting for a while, she frowned slightly. "It has been more than a quarter of an hour. Is he okay?" "
Pasha glanced at Roland Wimbledon, who was still sitting upright, and said, "It looks like … there's nothing unusual. Sure enough, this mortal king was full of surprises. "
[A new record has been set. Should I say congratulations? Alethea shrugged her main beard.
Celine did not answer. She felt a little uneasy and felt that something was wrong.
What happened next seemed to verify her guess.
After another quarter of an hour, Roland was still motionless. She felt more and more anxious.
Towards the flow of time, a person who had lived for more than a hundred years should feel extremely vague, but this body's almost constant heartbeat could accurately tell her the changes of every moment and every breath. Three-quarters of an hour of exploration was a little too long no matter how one looked at it. The other party was not an Extraordinaire, nor was he a Warrior. He should have exhausted all his energy a long time ago.
Could it be … There was an accident in the God Realm that he had never noticed before?
Vendy couldn't help but step forward as if she wanted to wake the king up, but Pasha stopped her.
[If you get too close to the relic, you will also be affected by it. "
"Then let me enter the God Realm and bring His Majesty back!" She insisted.
"Even if you go in, you can't bring the king back. No matter how many people are inspired by it at the same time, the God Realm they see is unique. "
Celine noticed that the other witch, who had been hiding, also moved. Judging from the vague magic reaction, the witch took out something from her bosom. According to the information Phyllis had gathered, it should be a unique weapon of Neverwinter.
After conveying her concern to the other two witches, Pasha nodded and immediately took action. She stretched out her tentacles to entangle the mortal king and pulled him back to Vendy. Although it was not ideal to end the exploration in this way, nothing was more important than Roland's safety. If there was a conflict between the two sides, the consequences would be unimaginable.
...
As the relic was put back into the God's Stone box, Roland suddenly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty... are you okay?" Vendy helped him to stand up and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine... I'm fine." He rubbed his sore legs. "I saw the foreign monsters guarding the other two relics and talked to them. Unfortunately, they couldn't understand me."
"What, what did you say?" Celine was shocked. "Did... did you meet the demons and..."
"And a huge eyeball. It seemed to be in a ship that could sail underwater..." Roland said. "Of course, I'm not sure whether it was a ship or something else."
Even though Celine couldn't see her companion's expression, she could feel the shock of the other two witches, especially Alethea. Among the survivors, Alethea stayed in the illusion for the longest time. As a member of the Blessed Army, Alethea could stay in the illusion for about an hour, but that was only when there was nothing in the scroll.
If she encountered demons or enemies of another race, her energy consumption would be doubled!
"Then, what happened?" Pasha continued to ask.
"I don't know. Anyway, some black tentacles suddenly appeared in the scroll and attacked them." Roland briefly described the situation. "Those tentacles were very difficult to deal with, so they had to withdraw from the scroll. The whole process took only a few minutes... no, about three-quarters of an hour."
Did he mean that he encountered the guardians of the other two civilizations at the same time and not only was he unharmed, but he also forced them to retreat?
Celine felt as if she was listening to a fairy tale.
She was not surprised by the appearance of the black tentacles. As the energy consumption continued to decline, the influence of the relics on the explorers would increase. Auditory hallucinations, tentacles, or something else... would appear one by one. They were not simple mental disturbances, but they would cause real damage to the body, which was why Pasha emphasized that they were not illusory. Before these influences caused real damage, as long as the summoning was stopped, the explorers would be fine.
Of course, if one wanted to forcefully resist this kind of spiritual erosion, it was not something that ordinary people could do. Even a witch who had experienced hundreds of battles would quickly feel tired and eventually lose control of her body.
But why was the situation completely reversed for Roland, and even the black tentacles were rushing toward the enemy? This was the first time she heard of such a thing.
Celine suddenly had an inconceivable thought as she looked at the king, who seemed to be disapproving of her actions.
Could it be that the mental strength of this ordinary person was on par with the head of the Three Chiefs, Alice, the Queen of Starfall City?
However, the king obviously did not feel this way. He stretched his limbs and smiled. "But thank you for pulling me out. I wanted to see if there was a boundary to that place, but it turned out to be too far. I really don't want to go back the way I came."
"Ahem... is that so?" The three of them were speechless for a while. Pasha broke the silence. "So do you want to continue exploring the relics?" "Yes."
