An outsider?
Irin's gaze froze when he heard that.
However, following this, his brows furrowed as he understood something.
So that was it.
As expected.
That should be the case.
This was more like it.
It was a Nightmare Level Trial.
It wouldn't make sense if there weren't some weird locals.
"Wait a moment."
Irin turned around abruptly and ran towards the cellar.
Wizard Supremacy's curly hair trembled slightly. He had a lot of complaints stuck in his throat.
But after a while.
Irin ran back from the cellar with a few bottles of wine in each hand.
"Pop ~"
The sweet smell of wine gushed out from the small opening of the bottle and filled the air.
"Honey wine, try it."
It wasn't something too expensive, but it was environmentally friendly, natural, and had no additives. This was a treasure that couldn't be bought with money in the real world.
Now, Irin had a whole cellar full of good wine.
Wizard Supremacy stared at the honey wine that Irin forced into his hands and hesitated.
Yi Lin gulped down a mouthful of honey wine. Because it was winter, drinking this sweet honey wine was just right. It was as if he was enjoying the ice and fire in the snow, and there was a hint of sweetness in this pleasure. Irin looked at Wizard Supremacy's twisted expression and guessed what he was hesitating about. He wiped the honey wine from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"Since you're staying, today is a welcome ceremony, not a gift. Don't worry and drink." What he meant was that he didn't need to give him favorability.
"Sigh."
Wizard Supremacy tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful.
Men were like that. With wine, there would be stories. Irin had spent an entire summer and autumn trying to pry open Wizard Supremacy's mouth. He couldn't let this old man escape today. Even if he drank until he vomited, he had to spit out all the information in his stomach.
Two big men sat in the snow, sipping sweet mead from one mouthful to the other.
The Wizard's chatterbox finally opened.
"Do you know who I am? Burp ~ "
Irin added, "Supreme Wizard, Rasmodeus Stephen Strange."
"Hehe, that's right, Supreme Mage. I am the one and only Supreme Mage, Stephen Strange." Lass chuckled and quickly finished a bottle. Irin did not waste any more time. She immediately opened another bottle and stuffed it into Brother Lagi's hands. After getting a little drunk, Brother Lagi did not reject anyone. Her smile grew wider and wider, and she became more and more arrogant.
"Hey ~ Burp ~ Let me tell you a secret."
Irin pricked up his ears.
"I, Sorcerer Supreme, am just like you. I'm also an outsider. Actually, we don't belong to this world."
What?
Yi Lin did not expect that the mage's casual words would reveal such a shocking secret. His expression was slightly startled, but he didn't dare to interrupt or speak. He had to wait for the Sorcerer Supreme to reveal all the secrets that should be revealed.
"Hehe, how laughable. I traversed the multiverse, traveled through the rivers of time and space, peered into the past and the future, and could reverse time and space. But many years ago, when I arrived here, I was trapped in this damned place.
"…"
"Burp ~ Did you know? I was once the mainstay of a superhero organization. There was a green giant, a playboy who liked to wear armor, an American butt who always liked to play with shields, and some … Sorry, it's been too long, I forgot. "
"…"
"We once fought against the ruler of Purple Potato Planet together. That's right, it's a little similar to the potatoes you planted in the fields some time ago. That Purple Potato collected something called the 'Infinity Stone'. After collecting all of them, with a snap of his finger, he could easily eliminate half of the lives. "
"…"
"Guess what happened in the end? At the very end, I gave that playboy enough hints. I raised a finger, meaning to tell him that if he plucked out one of the five stones, he would be done for. I didn't expect that playboy to actually snap his finger … and then … Burp. "
At this point, Sorcerer Curly Hair's expression was that of a drunken smile, but there was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in his eyes.
"…"
"After that, I resigned. As the last Sorcerer Supreme, I traveled in the vast multiverse of time and space … Burp ~ Brother, you're a little drunk!"
"…"
You used to give me the cold shoulder when I greeted you, but now you're calling me brother. How can it not be drunk?
Irin looked at the empty wine bottles on the ground with a strange expression. This Sorcerer Curly Hair could drink quite well. He drank seven or eight bottles in the blink of an eye. He didn't even drink that much spring water!
But from Sorcerer Supreme's drunken words, Irin roughly understood.
He combined it with the bat picture he saw in the Qiao family's supermarket not long ago.
Irin slowly sorted out the relationship between Sorcerer Supreme, Grimm, and the trials.
The tower had some kind of power that sent "them" who had registered as Apostles to each of the trial fields.
However, these training fields weren't created on the spot. They really existed in a certain way in a corner that Irin could not understand.
Multiverse?
Sorcerer Supreme called these independent trial worlds.
In other words, Sorcerer Supreme had the ability to travel through these trial worlds independently, but he was not an Apostle.
His ability to travel did not rely on the tower, did not rely on the identity of an Apostle. It was even possible that he came from another world that Irin was not familiar with.
When he traveled through time, he accidentally came to this small town. But for some reason, he was trapped here.
That was why he thirsted for the weak "arcane energy" contained in the [Void Essence] and [Sun Essence]?
For what?
For … to leave this place?
As for why Sorcerer Supreme was trapped here.
Irin had a rough guess.
Because … Grimm.
Nong Po Valley, Grimm Town, they were all Grimm's territory!
Behind them, there was Grimm's shadow!
He just did not know if this was Grimm's dream world, or if there was Grimm's clone somewhere in Nong Po Valley.
Grimm really did not die.
In Grimm Town, when Irin finally killed "that" Grimm, he faintly had a guess.
The Grimm he killed was not the real Grimm.
The real Grimm was in a higher dimension, overlooking all living beings, overlooking them like Joker jumping around.
Sorcerer Supreme was almost done drinking.
Before he fell, Irin hurriedly asked:
"So, this is the reason why you collected the 'Void Essence' and 'Sun Essence'?"
"Yes ~ Burp ~" Sorcerer Supreme exhaled a thick smell of alcohol, his eyes were getting more and more confused, blurred and drowsy: "My spells need to draw energy from the Dimensional Rift in order to cast a spell. Even so, heaven knows which corner of the Multiverse this wretched place is located in. Even I could not sense any hint of dimensional fissure energy from this world. "
Sorcerer Supreme scolded as he drank: "Damn Gugu Town!"
After drinking for a while, he still scolded: "Damn Nong Po Valley!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I understand." Irin waved his hand, stopping Sorcerer Supreme's complaints: "You want me to help you?"
"Your skills!" Sorcerer Supreme finally spoke his desire: "You are not the only one cursed by knowledge, he is not. I believe that only knowledge, only knowledge from the 'outside' can let me leave here, leave this damned place. "
"I see."
It resonated. Everything resonated.
Sorcerer Supreme was proud and arrogant.
Even if others worked hard to increase his favorability, they might not be able to unlock this conversation. In the end, what made Sorcerer Supreme open his heart was not Irin's charm, nor was it Irin's various gifts, nor was it the seven or eight bottles of honey wine he drank. Instead, it was the "Crystal Pattern Technique" that Irin had painstakingly learned from the world of Uranus.
This was a "brand new knowledge" that Sorcerer Supreme felt unfamiliar with, and it was also a new technique. It was precisely because of this "knowledge" that Sorcerer Supreme finally said such drunken words to Irin.
When Sorcerer Supreme finished the ninth bottle and was preparing for the tenth bottle …
Thump!
He fell!
"No matter how awesome you are, you are still human!"
Irin looked at Sorcerer Supreme who had fallen on the ground, sleeping soundly, his breathing heavy like a bull. He could only shake his head and sigh. He lifted Sorcerer Supreme's leg with one hand, dragged him back to the room, and threw him on the bed. Done.
After settling down the drunk Sorcerer Supreme, his cloak silently rolled up and blocked in front of Irin. The slightly curled collar conveyed a feeling of curiosity and doubt.
"Watch your master."
Irin smiled and said to the red cloak.
The red cloak rolled up into an "OK" shape.
Irin walked a few steps and seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked tentatively, "Why don't you be with me in the future? I promise to find you a pretty wife with a pink cloak. "
The red cloak was stunned, and his long hem stiffened.
It seemed like he was hesitating?
A few seconds later, the cloak slowly rolled up a "middle finger".
"…"
It was already noon when Sorcerer Supreme was settled down.
After wasting an entire morning, Irin was too lazy to mine ore liver today.
He went to the town for a walk.
On the roadside of Gugu Town, Vincent, Justin, and a few other children were happily building snowmen.
Old Lu hurried to the outskirts, sneakily carrying a bottle of truffle oil in his hand.
Doctor Harvey was at the entrance of the clinic, hanging an advertisement saying "20% off all cold medicine in winter".
Leah was a naive girl who lived next to Marnie's farm. She was at the riverside of Gugu Town, looking at the frozen river and sketching.
Everything was so peaceful.
Yi Lin stepped on the snow. If it weren't for the fact that he had just finished drinking with Sorcerer Zhi Zun and learned more secrets, it would be very difficult for him to associate the peaceful scene in front of him with the cruel nightmarish trial.
"Sure enough, people and their trials can't be lumped together. Maybe this is the normal way of the trial. "
Irin sighed as he passed by Pipé's grocery store.
During this period of time, because of the opening of the Qiao family's supermarket, Pipé's grocery store was deserted and the atmosphere withered due to the capital run by the competitors.
Pipé shook his head in distress and dejection, looking very haggard.
When he passed by, he did not know if it was a coincidence, but there was a noise coming from the kitchen.
It seemed to be the voices of Carolyn and her daughter, Abigail.
Abigail: "Don't teach me how to live anymore!"
Carolyn: "Hey, that's enough! We let you live here for free until graduation, and you don't even know how to be grateful! "
Abigail: "Don't try to make me feel guilty. I'm very grateful to you and Dad for helping me, but it's ridiculous to want me to dress like you. I will never give in, Mom. "
Carolyn: "… You're right, I'm sorry."
Huh?
Side mission?
Irin, who was experienced, sharp, witty, and intelligent, smelled the scent of a mission.
