Chapter 174 [0172] The Trial of the True One

"It's me." Following Karya's instructions, Lux temporarily let go of her hilt and completely cut off the connection with Karya. "I came to the temple of Nagakabouros to listen to the teachings of the truth."

"A pink face, so rare." Illaoi moved her mouth, as if swallowing all the mango flesh, "Are you also here to accept the test of the snake mother?"

"If it is not necessary, do not increase the entity." Lak nodded without hesitation, "This is the main purpose of my trip."

Seeing Lux's answer without hesitation, Illaoi's eyes lit up.

The sea beast priest raised the statue in his hand without hesitation and stretched it forward-with this action, Lux felt a pull like the soul level.

According to Karya's teachings, she did not resist this pull, but opened her arms, and welcomed the trial from Illaoi in the astonished eyes of other priests.

The next moment, with a brief blur of consciousness, Lux came to a blue world.

……………………

This place is very similar to Karya's desert world.

It's not that the azure ocean and the golden desert are very similar, but that this wonderful space is very similar to the field of Karya's simulation training.

Shaking her head, Lux tried hard not to think about these things - Karya specifically told her not to think about or mention herself during the trial.

Taking two deep breaths, Lux walked on this endless ocean.

It looks like an ocean, but it is actually completely different from the real ocean.

You can walk freely on the vast blue waves, and under the azure, there is a silence like time and space stagnation.

This is a silent world.

Lux looked around, but did not find any signs of activity, so she was somewhat curious.

Isn't it said that Nagakabouros is a god who advocates sports?

Why is this world so silent in Illaoi's trial?

In absolute stillness, time and space seemed to have lost their original concepts. Lux walked on the sea, hoping to find some changes, but unfortunately, she didn't know how long she had walked or how far she had walked, but everything in front of her seemed to have not changed at all, and it was still the same as before.

For some reason, Lux was overwhelmed with grief. She began to sing loudly and change her posture - and the world seemed to be responding to her. The sea no longer supported her feet, and Lux ​​finally changed from walking to swimming.

As Lux began to slap the water, the sea surface, which was originally as calm as a mirror, finally had waves.

It seemed that because Lux had made a change, the world also changed.

This correlation surprised Lux. Her thoughts began to become complicated, and the world began to become chaotic. An indescribable desire began to grow deep in her heart, making Lux feel uncomfortable.

The wind finally blew on the sea.

In the wind and waves, Lux swam hard while looking for her desire.

Then, just as Lux was getting more and more tired, and gradually couldn't raise her arms or step on the sea water, a familiar and kind power finally emerged.

The next moment, in front of Lux, a golden beach quietly emerged.

Lux, who was swimming hard in the waves, climbed onto the beach exhausted and closed her eyes tiredly - and when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the temple and stood in front of Illaoi.

The cold sea water and the roaring storm seemed to be around, but the next moment, the nose smelled the smell of mango. Illaoi, who was standing opposite Lux, seemed to be impatient and peeled another mango and was just about to put it in her mouth.

"Yo, you woke up?" Looking at Lux, whose eyes gradually turned from blank to firm, Illaoi showed an interested expression, "It seems that your trial results are not bad... do you want a mango?"

"..."

Lux didn't say anything, but shook her head subconsciously.

"So, do you know what you should do?" Illaoi didn't care about Lux's indifference and continued, "A foreign pink face can pass the trial of Nagakabouros. I have never seen such a thing - tell me, what is your purpose? Since you have passed the trial and found your destiny, the cult will help you embark on that path."

"No need anymore." Lux, who had completely recovered, grasped the hilt of her sword, "Participating in the trial is my purpose."

This statement made Illaoi respectful. She stopped putting the mango into her mouth and looked at Lux up and down as if they were meeting for the first time. Finally, she spoke in a very unexpected tone.

"Your understanding of the motto has surpassed many useless guys. They only ask me why I accept the face of powder, but never think that in front of Nagakabouros, there is never a reason."

"Yes, there is never a reason." Lux nodded, and her signature, bright smile appeared on her face again, "I like this sentence very much. Some things are like this, there is never a reason - thank you, Ms. Illaoi, it's a pleasure to meet you and know you. I wonder if anyone has told you that you are a very charming person."

Illaoi's mouth corners slightly raised.

"...But when you eat mangoes whole, it's an exception."

Illaoi's smile froze on her face - Lux's words were not hidden in any way. Many low-level priests around also heard her complaints. There was a happy atmosphere inside and outside the temple.

Then, when Illaoi came back to her senses and wanted to say something, Lux's figure had left the temple briskly and disappeared behind the Baru sculpture outside the wall.

In the end, Illaoi just snorted and simply brought the peeled mango to her mouth. After a moment of hesitation, she finally didn't stuff the whole mango in, but opened her mouth wide and nibbled half of it in one bite.

"What are you looking at?" Illaoi chewed the pulp with satisfaction and looked around, "Do you also want to have a trial?"

"..."

Although the priests are very devout, they do not dare to rashly undergo the trial of Naga Kapoulos brought by Illaoi. It is a true trial of the divine soul, and no matter how devout the soul is, If you are not tenacious and determined enough, you will still get lost.

Even though they knew that Illaoi would not conduct the trial rashly, when her snake eyes swept over, the priests still lowered their heads.

After taking the second bite of the remaining fruit pulp, Illaoi threw the mango core into the trash can nearby, picked up the god with one hand, and finally turned around and returned to the temple.

"If it is not necessary, do not increase the entity. The result of the trial is the trial itself - what an interesting little pink-faced girl..."

Kalya’s Little Class·Pink Face:

Fenlian is the name the Baru people use for people outside the Python Islands. It should be regarded as a neutral term, but it is often used in a strange and yin-yang way.
