Chapter 1,757 We Have a Traitor Among Us?
*************************************************** *************************************************** ****
"What...what should I do?" Seeing the Horadric Tomb suddenly appeared in front of them, everyone didn't know what to do.
If you look carefully, you will also find that the stone monument next to the ancient tomb is in the shape of a windmill, which means that the ancient tomb in front of you is the one we are going to.
Weird, so weird, it makes people feel like they will step into another dimension at any time.
"What else can we do? Let's go in and take a look, and we have to go deep into the innermost altar. Maybe there will be some answers there in the illusion." I shrugged, unable to do anything.
In this situation, no one can think of any other good solution. They can only resort to tricks. The ancestors of Horadric would never trick their descendants to death, probably...
"Woohoo, do you want to enter this kind of ghost place?" Beiya's little girl hid behind me, and wanted to catch my tail for comfort, how can you make you succeed!
"How about you stay here and wait for us?" He twitched his tail and swung it at high speed, adding a little mental illusion. It looked like there were countless tails swaying, just to prevent Beiya from catching them.
"I...I don't want it!" Beiya panicked immediately.
"Of course... of course, my Highness is not afraid of anything... I am just worried that you will get lost in there. Yes, I am just worried about you, ahem!" In the blink of an eye, she found a good excuse to be tough, and she said so openly. declared.
Just when I was about to say something, I saw her eyes roll, and she aimed at my tail that turned into countless phantoms and said, "However, I want my Highness to stay. It's not impossible. The tail will stay."
I:"……"
Your sister, can I cut off my tail and give it to you? How obsessed am I with my tail? If you just like tails, you can just find a fox or werewolf to marry, and you can hold and touch them every day.
I rolled my eyes. Ignore this idiot princess' rude request. Go straight into the ancient tomb and explore the path first.
There was nothing unusual, so I waved to the two princesses and motioned for them to come in.
"It's okay. If I step in and see Horadric City again, I will probably collapse." As soon as she entered the ancient tomb, Tia looked around eagerly and saw the familiar passage of the ancient tomb. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said luckily.
It seems that our Princess of the Horadric Tribe has been played badly by her ancestors, and a girl who is usually cheerful and pure has become suspicious.
"But do we still have to go into the deepest part? It will take a lot of time. Is there enough time?" Tia, who had regained her composure, asked me several questions in one go.
She knew that I was pressed for time and had to get back to the camp within two months. Now, about a month and twenty days have passed, and there is not much time left.
"I just don't know if the speed of time passing in the illusion is the same as in reality." After Tia said this, I considered this important issue.
For example, in a dream. You may feel that several days have passed, but in reality it is just one night, but a day in the sky is like a year on the earth. In a plane like the Dark World where even God really exists, it is not impossible to happen.
If it's the latter. I can only angrily curse the Horadric ancestors, and Dia will not give me any face.
"They should be the same." Dia tilted her head in confusion, probably sensing murderous intent from my expression, and hurriedly explained in order to save face for her ancestors.
"If it were different, wouldn't the passage of time become the [only false] thing?"
"That's true." When I thought it made sense, I couldn't help but pat Tia's head as a reward. The little girl smiled happily and tried to bring her head up like a puppy to make me feel more comfortable.
"Besides this, there is one more thing I want to confirm." I said after looking around.
"Tia, is the map of the tomb still there?"
"Yes, do you want to take it out?"
"Well, let me see."
We squatted down on the spot, spread out the map of the ancient tomb, and started studying it.
"Tia, do you still remember the route we took last time?" I asked suddenly, looking at the correct maze steps marked in red.
"There shouldn't be any problem. I'll give it a try." Tia wasn't very confident. After all, it was a journey of more than ten days from the entrance to the exit. Even with a photographic memory, it was impossible to remember everything clearly.
"I'm not asking you to follow the original route, what I mean is..." I smiled mysteriously, pointed at the map, and moved forward along the red line mark of the entrance, then stopped at the nearest point and headed towards The side is tilted.
"Here, there is a hidden stone door. Have we been there?"
"I've never been there. It's a dead end from here." Tia answered immediately.
Oh oh oh, he is indeed a genius child.
"Okay, that's it." I asked Tia to put the map away and nodded with satisfaction.
"Our goal is behind the hidden stone door."
"What Fanfan means..." Dia's bright eyes sparkled, as if she understood what I planned to do.
There was only a certain stupid princess who still had questions in her head, but she had the thought of "can't lose to stupid Wu". She wanted to know but didn't dare to ask. She could only nod her head and say, "Actually, I have already I thought of it" with a arrogant expression.
What an idiot...I was so sad that I almost shed tears. Your Majesty, the former Elf Queen, was it you who picked Beya from the river?
Because we were looking for the nearest target, about half an hour later, our group arrived at the destination, where we eliminated a number of monsters. These monsters made Tia and I look suddenly confused, and became more and more sure of our guesses.
Even Beiya seemed to notice something and kept wiping her eyes.
"It's about to open." To adventurers, it was an ordinary hidden stone door, but Tia and I looked solemn, took several deep breaths, and then lightly pressed the switch.
With a "rumbling" sound, Shimen let out a heavy breath and slowly rose.
Staring ahead without blinking, behind the slowly rising stone door, what is waiting for us...
"ha?"
"ha?!!"
Two incredible sounds sounded at the same time. Even though we were mentally prepared, Tia and I couldn't help being shocked.
What appeared in front of us was not the dark corridor common in ancient tombs, or the tomb chamber full of monsters, as we expected. Maybe it's that part of the desert again. Or Horadric City, or even other areas outside the Western Kingdom, it's possible.
However, Tia and I never expected it. It turned out to be here.
My little red mud villa in the harbor of Kurast!
Could it be that my home has become a copy?
I had a twitching look on my face, as if I would see my wife lying on the porch pretending to be dead every day when I came home from get off work and opened the door.
"This...what exactly is going on?"
"Even if you ask me...I don't know..."
"What, what, get out of the way, let me see, hey. Where is here?" Dia and I stood side by side in a daze, completely blocking Beya's view behind us. Sorry, I'm so tall.
The little girl jumped restlessly, trying to look over our shoulders. Finally, she became impatient and simply squeezed in between us, took a look, and asked in confusion.
Remember, Beya seemed to have only been to...or not to my villa in Kurast at all? It's not surprising that he can't recognize it.
"This is my home in Kurast Seaport." I explained expressionlessly.
"Eh...Eh. It's so convenient. You can get home in one breath." Beiya sighed.
I:"……"
This guy...is really a super fool.
"Anyway, let's go in and have a look." I stepped inside. Connected to the stone gate was the villa courtyard, and I looked around. The scenery around the villa was hazy and blurry, and only the villa appeared particularly clear.
Tia and I were both preoccupied, and it was Beja. He shouted heartlessly and entered the house in a hurry.
"Hey. You idiot." I was shocked and quickly chased after him. Fortunately, there was nothing strange in the house. The layout of my house was correct.
We walked around for a while but didn't find anything. Just as we were about to leave, at the entrance of the courtyard, a figure in a maid's uniform who was much clearer than the ghosts in Horadric City suddenly appeared and walked out of the villa. He seemed to be planning to leave, pass us by, and then disappear.
This figure... looks slightly familiar.
I opened my eyes wide and silently recited two words in my heart.
It's Bisi...
At this moment, a bolt of lightning seemed to strike through his dim mind, and many blurred areas instantly became bright and clear.
I think I probably know what's going on.
Looking at Tia, she seems to understand.
"Continue to confirm and go to the next target." I said to Tia. She nodded vigorously and couldn't wait.
Next, somewhere we haven’t been, open sesame, you bastard!
Pressing the switch hard, this time, our minds have become much clearer. If our guess is correct, we can roughly imagine what possible scenery will appear behind the stone gate.
"Hey, you two, get out of the way and let me take a look first." Probably because the first time the stone door opened was my home, little girl Beiya suddenly felt a sense of security, so this time, she squeezed in decisively. Let the two of us step into the stone gate first.
"Huhuhu————"
A gust of cold wind blew by, cooling Beiya's body and her heart.
Her footsteps stayed in mid-air, as if she had been cast on a body-holding spell, not daring to move.
Because, in front of her steps was an empty cliff.
The cliffs of the demon fortress!
Seeing the familiar scenery, Tia and I smiled at each other, with excitement in our eyes.
It's like the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment you get when you are finally solved by a mystery that has puzzled you for a long time.
"Come back, idiot. I'll let you run around again next time."
I grabbed Beiya by the back collar of her clothes, carried her back like a little chicken, and closed the stone door.
"The next goal is to set off."
"Roger it, Tia Fanfan, get ready to go!" Because it gradually became clear in my heart, Tia's mood became much brighter and I started to joke.
"Hey, hey. What are you two talking about? What have you discovered? Hurry up and tell His Highness the truth!" Beiya woke up from the shock. She didn't care to think about the critical danger just now and chased after her from behind. shouted towards me and Tia.
"You'll find out later." He winked at her mysteriously. We faced the map and headed towards the next goal.
The stone gate opened, revealing Rogge's camp, to be precise. It's the mages' guild in Rogge's camp.
We can also see the [ghosts] of Vilas and the others, passing by in a flash.
Yeah, that's expected.
Reaching the next target again, behind the stone gate, there is actually the exact opposite of the desert...an ice cave.
"Duriel's lair?" Beja glanced at it. Puzzle asked.
"No, it's the glacier in Harrogas." Dia and I said in unison, looked at each other, and laughed with a little happiness and nostalgia.
Got it, that’s it, that’s it, we get it.
Everything that appears in the fantasy is for Beja and me. The most precious thing we have together.
For example, the desert where we just entered the fantasy world, if you think about it carefully, maybe... it was actually the place where I gave Master Beja's robe. According to Tia, it is an important place for lifelong love, which is absolutely correct.
Of course Horadric City is one, but it doesn't appear in front of us on its own initiative. But we went to find it ourselves.
But why Tia's mage tower. Is the book blank?
Why are there gaps connected to the desert?
That’s because the prerequisite for the appearance of these illusions is the subconscious sight, or possession, that Tia and I share.
For example, Tia has indeed read those books, but I have not, so they are blank.
Those faults are because I have never been to the places in the back and have no idea what the scenery is there, so the fantasy world directly pieced together everything in that period with the scenery that Tia and I are familiar with.
The same is true in ancient tombs. The places that Tia and I walked through are still ancient tombs. They are all dead ends of the tomb corridors that we have never been to, and they can only be connected to another piece of scenery that we are familiar with.
The reason why Kurast's house appeared was because Tia and I went on a date on God's birthday. For the two of us, that date, which only lasted for one day, was a precious memory, so it appeared. .
As for the flash of Bisi... why did she appear? Could it be that she is also a very impressive existence for Tia and me?
Probably, because that day was a precious date for the two of us, and I suddenly met Bisi at the door of my house, so I was quite impressed. This must be what happened.
The cliffs of the Demon Fortress and the dreamlike crystal ice cave under the glacier were all the scenes of the date that day. As for Rogge’s camp...does this still need to be explained?
Tia and I already know the principle of illusion.
But if you want to crack it, you have to find the only false thing.
What is the only false thing?
Tia and I lowered our heads in thought, and then, invariably, our eyes fell on Beya, who tilted her head and looked at us.
Could it be that……
