1681st Whispers Echoing in My Ears

At the end of the "sanctuary", there is an ancient ruin.

The ruins are the original architectural style built with stone materials. Although the specific construction time is unknown, it can be seen from the walls with cracks everywhere and the dense growth of ivy. The years it has experienced, at least in More than a hundred years.

Most of the ruins are hidden by the forest, like a temple going deep into a cave on a hill, only the entrance facing the forest can be clearly seen, and a section of stairs extending to this side is covered with moss.

"...Is this the witch's cemetery?"

A group of people came here under the leadership of Garfiel, looked at the cemetery in front of them, and showed serious expressions.

Especially Emilia, as if she couldn't even breathe smoothly, she was holding on to Fang Li's clothes tightly, her expression was full of uneasiness.

After all, the witch is not an existence that has nothing to do with Emilia.

It is because of having the same appearance and background as the Envious Witch that Emilia's life has become so bumpy.

Even Rem's pretty face became tense.

"...If this is true, then this place is too dangerous."

The danger Rem refers to is not just because this is a witch's cemetery.

You know, in this world, there are Witch Cultists who extremely reject other witches.

They are like a group of lunatics, constantly chasing after the figure of the envious witch, and at the same time destroying the traces of the other six witches.

For the Witch Cult, only the Envious Witch is qualified to be called a Witch, and the rest are just stepping stones, useless things, filth and even garbage that the Witch stepped on.

Therefore, just hearing the names of other witches, the Witch Cult would not be able to accept the excitement and wreak havoc.

As I mentioned before, the reason why the Sin Archbishop in charge of "Greed" captured a border metropolis by himself is because it is said that some things related to witches were unearthed there.

Because of such an undetermined piece of news, the "Greed" of the Witch Cult broke into it alone, and finally destroyed it.

After that, the subject of the witch has become taboo everywhere, and no one is willing to bring it up.

If the people taught by the Witch know that this "sanctuary" is the experimental field created by the Witch of Lust, and even the cemetery of the Witch of Lust, then all the Sin Archbishops will be willing to attack like crazy, right?

Roswaal chose not to disclose the information here, not even telling Rem, but only telling Ram and Fardelica, which is really a wise choice.

Of course, even without this factor, this is not a place suitable for public disclosure.

In front of the cemetery, Garfiel spoke to everyone.

"If you want to participate in the trial, you must meet two conditions."

"One: It must be an existence that can be interfered by the enchantment, that is, it must be a "hybrid". "

"Two: You must enter the cemetery and participate in the trial after nightfall."

"Only if you meet these two conditions, you can enter to participate in the trial."

"And as long as the trial is completed, the barrier will be lifted."

After explaining, Garfiel crossed his arms and said something provocative.

"Okay, do any of you want to try?"

Having said that, Garfiel cast his eyes on Emilia.

Because, among the conditions he said, among the people present, only Emilia can satisfy them.

"I…"

Emilia suddenly became a little overwhelmed, and her hand holding Fang Li's clothes became more forceful.

"For Lady Emilia, the challenge trial is a hurdle that must be overcome?"

On the side, Roswaal shook his head and said such words, as if deliberately speaking to Emilia.

"Only by overcoming the trial and gaining the support of the "Sanctuary" can Lady Emilia have a chance of winning the election. "

Roswaal is simply going around in circles,

Tell Emilia that if you want to successfully inherit the throne, you must pass the test.

Otherwise, Emilia's wish would end here.

This made Emilia's expression complicated.

She couldn't find a reason to refuse.

There is no other way but to pass the trial.

At this moment, Silvia asked a question.

"Didn't it mean that the trial can only be carried out at night?"

Silvia glanced at the sky and said so.

"It's still daytime."

Even though it was almost evening, it was still daytime.

Since it is daytime, the trial will not proceed.

"Let Emilia go up and try now, isn't it too early?"

Silvia's statement is very pertinent.

Regarding this, Garfiel also scratched his head.

"By the way, that's why I forgot to explain." Garfiel didn't feel sorry at all, and said directly: "If you want to participate in the trial, in addition to the above two conditions, you must meet one more condition, and that is to get a cemetery approval."

"Recognized by the cemetery?"

Everyone was startled for a moment.

Garfiel pointed to the steps of the cemetery and said so.

"As long as you go up, the cemetery will respond to those who have the qualifications to participate in the trial. If it glows, it means you have the qualifications. If you don't, it's useless no matter how strong you are."

This sentence is not so much for explaining to the people present, as it is for persuading myself.

After all, Garfiel is very confident in his own strength, he is also a hybrid of human and demihuman, and has the qualifications to challenge the trial, but since the "sanctuary" has not been liberated, it proves that Garfiel Phil either didn't qualify for the challenge, or the challenge failed.

Which one it is, no one has the energy to guess.

"Of course, it's daytime now. Trials are absolutely not allowed during the daytime, so it doesn't matter if you go up."

Garfiel said as if his colleagues had nothing to do with him.

"However, if you want to go directly inside, what will happen, I don't know."

After finishing speaking, Garfiel stopped talking, and chose to wait and see from the sidelines.

Everyone also looked at Emilia, waiting for Emilia's decision.

However, Silvia noticed it.

"what happened to you?"

The surprised voice made everyone's eyes drawn by Silvia again, and they looked at a person.

Who else could it be besides Fang Li?

At this moment, Fang Li neither spoke nor responded, but just stared at the cemetery in front of him, his eyes flickering.

At this moment, only Fang Li heard it.

"——"

It was a sound that could not be discerned at all.

The voice sounded like a woman's murmur.

In the past, after Fang Li and Sylvia had turmoil, if Sylvia still had the strength, she would breathe hot breath and whisper in Fang Li's ear like this, expressing her inner love.

However, Silvia's whispers were warm and burning.

But this whisper was full of pressure and terror.

Under such circumstances, Fang Li narrowed his eyes.
