Baptiste?
When Lily called out the name, Hao Ren was stunned. The name sounded familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before. It was not until Lily poked his arm and whispered the word "Inferno" that he finally remembered who the wizard named Baptiste was.
The former planet Inferno was now the World Gate, the Surface World Monitoring Center. This incredible planet, once stuck on the Wall of Reality and named Inferno because of the horrible environment of its upper crust, first came into Hao Ren's sight because of the activities of a wizard named Baptiste.
Baptiste was active in France during the Middle Ages and then disappeared mysteriously for hundreds of years. He used magic to devour a human town and used the power to open a portal to Inferno. He turned himself into an immortal cursed creature to find his mentor, who was also his lover, who had fallen into Inferno because of a magical accident.
All the information came to Hao Ren in an instant. He could finally connect this mysterious wizard with the Baptiste he knew six hundred years later. At the same time, he also understood the purpose of the series of actions of the wizard named Bain, and how Lily guessed the true identity of the wizard.
Hao Ren had to admit that the husky maiden's intuition and the occasional flash of inspiration were really amazing.
Although it had little to do with the ultimate goal of his trip back in time, Hao Ren felt that he had solved another mystery by accident.
No wonder a human wizard could master the way to open an interstellar portal, and no wonder he was inextricably linked to Vivian. It turned out that this was the root cause.
On the other hand, Bain, who had been calm since Lily revealed his real name, could not help but be surprised. He quickly turned his hood to the husky maiden. "You know me?"
"You know him?" Hessiana and Hasse, who were not far away, asked in unison.
Lily thought for a moment, and her ears pricked up. "Oh! Did I guess it right? "
Everyone: "…"
"Ahem, I've heard of this guy." Hao Ren saw that the husky maiden could not come up with a solution, so he awkwardly broke the deadlock. "I see … I see. Baptiste, I didn't expect you to find the key to Inferno here. "
Wizard Bain … No, Baptiste finally gave up his disguise. He lifted his hood, revealing a thin and gloomy face. "Who the hell are you? How did you know that I was going to open the gate of Purgatory?! "
"Ah? You want to connect to Purgatory? " This time, Vivian, who had just woken up, was surprised. "You didn't tell me that!"
Hessiana was a little mad. "Lady Vivian, you don't even know what this guy is going to do, and you gave him the power crystal?"
"He told me that he was looking for someone. Coincidentally, that person happened to be one of my followers who went missing a few years ago, so I helped him out." Vivian had an innocent look on her face. "I didn't know that the person he was looking for was in Inferno! Hey, kid over there, Baptiste, right? Let me tell you, if you want to open the gate to Inferno, then we have to renegotiate. Opening the gate to Inferno is not something that can be done with just a few wizards! And even if you really open the gate, there is no telling what will come out from the other side of the gate. Don't be crazy … "
Baptiste did not expect that an ancient Blood Clan like Vivian could be so naggy. He had thought that an ancient master like the Countess of the Crimson Moon would be indifferent and would not care about the life and death of ordinary people or the survival of a city or a country. Even if he wanted to open the gate to Inferno, it would not attract the slightest attention of this powerful being. He did not expect that the old lady would go back on her words as soon as his purpose was exposed.
Baptiste's mind was racing as he simulated countless negotiation plans in his mind. At the same time, he began to consider the possibility of escape. But before he could do anything, a shadow suddenly came from the side, and a long whip curled around his arm.
Hessiana looked at the human wizard, who looked annoyed but fearless. "Tsk, tsk. I'm sorry, but you can't leave for now."
Hao Ren looked at this unexpected episode. Suddenly, he noticed Vivian, who was looking at him curiously from the corner of his eye.
Not only was Vivian looking at him curiously, but she was also looking at everyone around them, including the demon hunters.
"What's going on?" Our countess wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows, "Why are there so many irrelevant people popping up in the place where I am sleeping? I was just about to ask … Demon hunters? What do you want? The guy standing over there is Hasse. Since when did you come looking for trouble? The werewolf girl over there, and the guy with the two black swords in his hands, where are you from? Why don't I know you? "
Hessiana's first few questions were fine, but when she asked about Hao Ren and Lily, Hessiana's expression suddenly changed.
Little Bat stared at Hao Ren suspiciously. "Didn't you say that you are friends with Lady Vivian?"
"Friends?" Vivian shook her head. "I don't know them."
"I can explain!" Hao Ren quickly raised his hand. "It must be that Vivian has forgotten about us! I'm sure everyone here knows that Vivian's memory is a little problematic … "
Hessiana was still suspicious while controlling Baptiste. Obviously, although Hao Ren's explanation was undeniable, it had made her doubt the identity of Hao Ren and Lily.
But Vivian nodded. "Oh, this is possible."
"Lady Vivian! Don't give up on your memory so soon! "
Vivian looked indifferent. "But it is an indisputable fact that my memory is not that good."
"You two! You'd better show me something to prove your identity! It would be best if you can remind Lady Vivian of you! " Hessiana could not do anything to Vivian, but she could turn the blame to Hao Ren and Lily. "If you can't show me anything, then I can only regard you and Baptiste as the same kind of liars and conspirators. Especially Hao Ren over there. Where is the bat in your pocket? Take it out and let Lady Vivian verify whether it is a forgery or not! "
Little Bat had regarded it as an irrefutable piece of evidence, but now it was doubted by Vivian's words.
Hao Ren raised his hand helplessly. "Okay, I have other evidence. I have something to show Vivian."
As he spoke, he took out something from his Dimensional Pocket. Just as he was about to pass it to Vivian, Hessiana stopped him. "Wait a minute! Let me pass it to you, in case you have done something to deceive Lady Vivian. "
Just as Hao Ren was about to ask what would happen to Baptiste if she came, Little Bat's body suddenly shook. Then, a Hessiana, who looked exactly like her but had a weaker aura and a slightly dull expression, stood up from her shadow.
The magical doppelganger quickly came up to Hao Ren and held out her hand. "Give it to me. I will pass it to you."
Hao Ren shrugged and handed the thing to Hessiana's doppelganger.
It was the key to awaken Vivian in this false space and time: the key to the door.
The magical doppelganger did not pass the key to Vivian immediately. Instead, it looked at it curiously for a long time and even examined it with a few small magic spells. Hessiana, who was not far away, looked suspicious. "What is this? A small piece of strange metal? "
"Give it to Vivian and you will know," Hao Ren said with a mysterious expression. "You can detect it anyway. There is no magical fluctuation on it, and it is not dangerous."
"Hmph, you wouldn't dare," Little Bat snorted.
She then let the doppelganger bring the key to Vivian.
Vivian took the key and held it up in the air curiously.
Hao Ren noticed that the collapse of the Moonlight Steppe had gradually stopped.
The wriggling boundary of darkness stopped hundreds of meters away, and the edge of the land that was constantly turning into fragments also stopped moving as if the pause button had been pressed. The moonlight in the sky became brighter and brighter, and in this world, everything was quickly covered by a greyish-white color.
Including the demon hunters led by Lockheed.
Including Baptiste, who was being subdued by Hessiana.
Even Hessiana and Hasse, who was standing not far away, were stained with the gray color of the Dream Fading for a short period of time.
As for Hessiana's magical doppelganger, it disappeared the moment the change happened.
Hao Ren and Lily looked at each other and nodded in unison. Although something unexpected had happened, everything had worked out as planned.
Vivian finally looked away from the key. Her eyes quickly became clear and finally focused on the two familiar faces. "Hao Ren and Doggie? Why are you here? What the heck? Why is this kid here? Where am I? "
The last thing she saw was Hessiana, who was standing not far away.
Lily scratched her hair and muttered a little unhappily, "I have to explain myself every time."
Hao Ren smiled and did not respond to the husky maiden's complaint. Instead, he walked up to Vivian.
"A lot has happened. Let me tell you slowly."
