Chapter 111

To be on the safe side, they didn't speak during the whole process. It wasn't until they walked back to the end of the passage and let the worms take them back to the ground that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, that's pretty damned," Lan Jie let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?" Silly's voice came, "What did you see?"

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back," Jack Zhengyi said. He put the worms back into the crystal jar tied around his waist and winked at Lan Jie. Then, the two of them took advantage of the darkness and used the fastest speed to He rushed back in the direction of Earth Dragon.

After all, they had just visited the area that was obviously the core of the city. The two of them were a little flustered now. They returned to Earth Dragon and hid in Lu Lin's alchemy room before finally relaxing a little.

After closing the doors and windows, the two sat down. After Silly used a little trick to allow Lu Lin to temporarily hear the two of them talking, the two began to talk about what they saw.

Half an hour later, as Lan Jie's story ended, everyone fell into a brief moment of thinking and silence.

After a while, Silly was the first to speak: "Based on the three totem statues you met on the way, it can be determined that this is a master-level formation. The whole formation should have a three-dimensional structure. In addition to these three totems, there should be other The totems and other things are scattered throughout the formation, but you can still see something by just looking at these three statues. "

"Does the Endless Totem mean that this is a large-scale formation that is effective for a long time?" Lu Lin touched his chin, "Extreme love and hate, this totem, I always feel that it has a lot of connection with those two girls."

"Yes, it is very possible, but this is a very rare totem, and its role and mode of function in the entire magic circle are not certain. I am not sure whether these two girls are the core of the magic circle, so, I'm not sure whether I can directly apply the symbol of extreme love and hate to these two girls," Silly said. "Actually, what I care about most is the dedication totem, because it is the most disharmonious when it appears here. For the totem to be effective, there must be dedicated devotees in the formation.”

"In other words, there is a high probability that one of the two girls will be a devotee?" Jack Zhengyi asked, "Is it the thin girl? But... will she really be a willing devotee when faced with such an encounter? "

"I think there is a high possibility that the other side is the devotee," Lan Jie continued. "The fat girl obviously doesn't enjoy the seemingly rich food and toys. Maybe she worked hard to eat them. The behavior of things should actually be regarded as a kind of, um...how should I put it..."

"I can probably understand what you mean," Silly nodded, "I am also considering this possibility now, but again, I am not sure about the role of these two girls and these totems in the entire magic circle. status."

"If you're not sure, then just don't think about it," Lu Lin suddenly said, "If you ask me, just assume that the extreme totems of love and hate, the totem of devotion and these two girls are all from this formation. The core elements will make the idea clearer. ”

"Well... that's not impossible," Silly nodded, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, yes, I feel that if you think about it this way, the logical chain is actually quite complete," Lu Lin said, "Whether it is dedication, or love or hate, these things all need a target. If they are the formation The core of the Dharma, then it is very likely that no matter who is a devotee, who is on the 'love' end, or who is on the 'hate' end, their goal should be the other."

"And it is known that devotees need to be willing to dedicate to the other party, so that devotee must belong to the party of 'love'."

"On the other hand, the other party should be classified as 'hate'."

"Actually, I have been very concerned about it since just now. Can they both see the person on the other side?"

"Moreover, it sounds like the ghost clone of the lich is even actively guiding the two parties to look at each other, at least forcing the thin girl to look at the fat girl."

"Yes," Jack Zhengyi clenched his fists, "It's really a bastard to let a girl who can only eat vomit and be tortured watch the person opposite eat."

"Well, this detail is actually very suspicious, isn't it?" Lu Lin continued, "Think about it for a moment, if we were this thin girl, watching the people on the other side eat those delicacies until we vomited every day, but we could only eat Vomit, it’s reasonable to hate the other person, right?”

"That's true," Lan Jie said hesitantly, "but even if she saw the other person's vomiting look, she would be envious, but she should also understand that the other person is as uncomfortable as she is, right?"

"No, not necessarily," Silly said, "Do you still remember, when they were observing these two girls, when they were observing the girl on their side, their sight was blocked by a crystal wall, so they could see basically clearly. ”

"But when observing the girl opposite, your line of sight is blocked by three layers of crystal walls, so you can only see a very blurry scene."

"When these two people are observing each other, there should be two layers of crystal walls between them. They should be able to see most of the situation clearly, but they can't see the details clearly. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the thin girl to see whether the face of the person opposite her who is feasting is crying. laugh."

"And you also said that when the girl vomited, she wouldn't even drop the vomit."

"Also, isn't it said that after eating, the fat girl needs to dance with the toys and keep a big smile on her face, but she is actually crying," Lu Lin added, "Obviously, these details are designed for the people on the other side to see."

Chapter 183 Why not do something big?

"Well, in this case, the thin side hates the other side because they see the other side enjoying a good life?" Jack frowned righteously, "The fat side actually loves the thin side and is performing some kind of "dedication" behavior?"

"It does sort out the clues," Si Li said, "but there are also many doubts. I have heard that extreme emotional collisions can cause a surge in magic power in a person's body, but it doesn't make sense that a design like this, relying only on the emotional contrast brought about by the extreme life gap, can continuously generate such a huge amount of magic power by two ordinary earth servant sub-ki larvae."

"Is it possible that there are actually many underground How many pairs of girls like this?" Lan Jie asked, "We only saw one pair?"

"Impossible, the cost is too high, there won't be many," Si Li shook her head, "If you want to pile up, it's better to simply use human flesh for energy. That's the conventional method of the necromancer. Such a complex design must have a high return. "

"Well, in fact, I think it's not surprising that we can't understand this array. After all, this is a master-level array, isn't it?" Lu Lin said, "It's unrealistic to want to figure out everything with just this little clue. I think, after finding this, shouldn't we be able to get through to the Tianri Cult?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Yes.

The purpose of their coming here is to investigate the forces behind the city. Now they have actually found out very clearly that the actual controller behind the city is a certain lich, and the strangeness here comes from the giant array below.

As for how the array works specifically, what are the details, whether there are other forces behind the lich, and how these things are, it doesn't matter at all, right?

As long as they hand over the current information to the old master of the Tianri Sect and get the Lieyang Order, the matter will be over, right?

However...

"Hey, I say, you are really not curious after investigating this far?" Si Li suddenly said, "This is a magic array that can build a paradise in the chaotic land. If we can figure out its structural principle, even if we only know the general idea, its value is immeasurable..."

"Damn, what are you talking about?" Jack Zhengyi looked at Si Li in astonishment, "Don't you know what happened below? You actually want to use the magic array built on such a thing?"

"This kind of thing? Excuse me, there are many more terrible things in the world than this," Si Li said, "To say something you don't like to hear, if only sacrificing two earth servants Yaki people can exchange for the prosperity of an entire city, looking at the whole world, I'm afraid few forces will refuse this method."

"You!" Jack Zhengyi glared and wanted to refute.

But he was surprised to find that what Si Li said was actually right.

Think about it.

His Tianri Church revered the Holy Flame, and most of its followers were upright and righteous, but even in their church, there were elders who sacrificed an entire village of innocent people for their own selfish interests.

And now, if they only had to sacrifice two people, they could get such a prosperous city. How many forces could resist such temptation?

"Damn it, no, this place must be destroyed," Jack Zhengyi stood up suddenly, "Once this knowledge is leaked, I don't know how many similar tragedies will happen."

"Really? But I won't say whether you can destroy this place. Even if you can, how many citizens who could have enjoyed a comfortable life will die in the endless chaos of the chaotic land after this city is destroyed by you?" Si Li said coldly, "Calm down, bald man, you are the enemy of everyone in this city. I'm afraid that the Tianri Cult didn't plan to massacre the city here at the beginning?"

"Damn it, are you so indifferent to their experience?" Jack Zhengyi's voice was filled with anger, "How can it be reasonable to build your comfortable life on the pain and torture of others? This kind of evil magic, you actually want to use it?"

"How can magic be divided into good and evil? Besides, if he uses it this way, do we have to use it the same way? Don't you know how to improve it?" Si Li frowned and said, "And, in fact, even if What if there is no reform? How many people in this world have a good life that is not built on the suffering and pain of others! Can you tell me about it? "

"That doesn't mean that such behavior should be allowed and is just!" Jack Zhengyi immediately retorted, "If the interests of a few can be sacrificed for the majority, if such behavior is taken for granted, one day, everyone will become a victim of it!"

"Don't give me these empty truths. We are not order builders. What's the point of discussing these philosophies? I won't talk about it. Are all the actions of your Tianri Church just? Do you have the ability to manage those messes in your church? Can you manage it? What will happen if you manage it? Do you even lose the name of Gang Luo?"

"Then I have no regrets! At least I tried! Instead of being an indifferent accomplice!"

The two of them talked back and forth, neither of them gave in, and they quarreled so much that Lu Lin was overwhelmed.

Although he had expected that with their temperaments and perspectives on things, they would quarrel one day.

However, this is not a suitable environment for quarreling, right?

Seeing that the quarrel between the two was about to escalate to personal attacks, Lu Lin knew that he could not let them continue.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet first!" Lu Lin shouted loudly, "Listen to me first!"

As soon as these words came out, since Si Li and Lu Lin were in the same room, Si Li's voice naturally stopped when he yelled.

Jack Zhengyi heard Si Li stop, so he naturally stopped too.

Of course, he also wanted to hear what Lu Lin would say about this matter.

"Let me ask you two a question first," Lu Lin said, looking at Si Li first, and said, "Si Li, if I remember correctly, destroying the Netherworld Cult is your most important goal, right?"

Si Li was slightly stunned, then sighed and nodded: "Yes, that's right, okay, I was too excited, we should always give priority to the Fiery Sun Order."

"It doesn't matter," Lu Lin shook his head, "You are right, that magic array is definitely a huge wealth. If it can be improved, even if the effect is a little worse, it can bring great benefits, and it is a benefit with strategic value. If you can figure out its principles and give it to someone who can use it, the benefits are no less than the Fiery Sun Order."

As for this person who can use it, Lu Lin's mind almost subconsciously appeared the figure of the White Witch.

Being able to create something like Xishi, the White Witch's attainments in magic are definitely more than a master. If the information of this array can be provided to her, she will have another trump card to deal with the Holy Church and develop the forces of the Brave in the future.

Of course, what Lu Lin didn't say was that even if he couldn't get it, he should be able to unlock the formation directly when he became a master.

But, I really don't know when that will happen.

"So, what do you mean?" Si Li asked.

"I have some ideas, but don't worry," Lu Lin said, turning his attention to the echo elves, "Jack, your idea is to save the two girls and prevent this magic from spreading, at least not in its current form, for the world to use, right?"

"Well... this, yes, that's right," Jack Zhengyi said, "I know that asking you to accompany me to do this may be a bit too much, so it doesn't matter, I will find a way myself."

"Don't think of a way yourself, can you still resist the master-level lich?" Lu Lin rolled his eyes, "If you want to achieve all this, you must rely on the power of your master, but if you choose to rely on his power, I ask you, can the Tianri Sect really resist the temptation brought by this formation?"

As soon as these words came out, Jack Zhengyi fell silent.

Even if the object is his master, he still can't give an answer to this question.

"Well, you can't answer it, right? If you can't answer it, it actually means that you already know that the answer is probably not what you want, right?" Lu Lin said.

"You mean, I really have no way?" Jack Zhengyi said unwillingly.

"No, there is a way," Lu Lin said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, for your master, we don't have to rely on his power."

"Instead, 'use' his power."

Chapter 184 This killer whale has a name, it is also called "De"

I still remember that the fat tourist said that his companion who became a citizen said something to him.

"Only those who face the truth and can understand its greatness are qualified to enjoy the grace here. The truth is at the end of the road, face it, accept its test and baptism. When you have done all this, you will know how despicable what you are doing now is."

After hearing this passage, Lu Lin had a guess.

Perhaps, the simplest way to understand the truth here has always been on the table.

That is to undergo the so-called "cleansing", which is also the so-called "test and baptism".

Now, after glimpsing some secrets, Lu Lin has some new guesses about this passage.

"People who face the truth and understand its greatness" is quite intriguing when you think about it carefully.

"Face the truth", is it possible that it is facing the experience of the two girls?

If so, then the meaning of this sentence may be understood as - people who understand the power source of this city and accept and recognize this.

Oh, no, just like that, it should be said that "people who can understand" rather than "people who can understand its greatness".

Since the fat tourist said that only one of his former companions survived, it can be judged that the proportion of people who can pass this so-called test is very small.

So just being able to accept this thing is probably not enough.

It should be necessary to advocate this practice from the bottom of your heart to become a citizen.

As for the sentence "the truth is at the end of the road", Lu Lin's current understanding is still the same, it should be about the place where the test is accepted.

But the last sentence now seems to be interesting.

"When you have done all this, you will know how despicable what you are doing now is."

This sentence shows that the citizens think that the behavior of tourists is despicable. Lu Lin did not understand why.

Now Lu Lin understands, or at least has a guess.

This group of citizens know that their affluent lives are built on the sacrifices of others, so in order to live up to this sacrifice, they will work hard and build the city with their lives.

And tourists who only know how to spend their days in debauchery are naturally looked down upon by them.

Lu Lin can understand their mentality very well.

Hypocritical self-comfort, false self-touching, and looking for self-esteem and the rationality of their own behavior by devaluing those who they think are more despicable, in order to gain a sense of peace of mind and a clear conscience.

Lu Lin does not want to comment on their mentality.

Just like Lu Lin does not care about their life or death now.

"So, what is your conclusion now?" Si Li asked.

"If the so-called test will show everything to the testee, the information in it may be more than we expected at the beginning," Lu Lin said, "It may even contain all the ideas of the formation design, so we have to participate in it anyway."

"Use the Netherworld Curse?" Si Li asked.

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded, "Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to participate in the test and then get out of it unscathed. I can only follow the plan I mentioned before and use the Netherworld Curse to control a person to participate in this test. Through his eyes, I can see the same things as him."

"But the other party is a master after all. Even if the Netherworld Curse is used, it may not be completely safe, right?" Si Li asked.

"That's natural," Lu Lin nodded, "So, I also said that we have to use the power of the Tianri Sect. Once an accident occurs, let Jack Zhengyi directly rush into the banquet hall and attack the city lord."

"Use this trick to force the Tianri Sect to take action?" Si Li's mouth twitched, "You really calculated all the allies, aren't you afraid of trapping the Tianri Sect here?"

"That can't be helped. After all, for me, it's not a bad idea to hand it over directly. This is not considering your opinions, I plan to be more greedy this time," Lu Lin said, "and since both sides are sects, Master, even if we can't win, Jack's master should at least be able to take him out. It's the same for us. We don't need them to win, as long as they can create chaos for us to escape. "

"I don't object to anything else, but..." Si Li curled her lips, "Don't think I can't see that you are also very tempted by the magic circle here. You aliens and the Holy Church have a great hatred, right? I can see that you are ambitious, and this thing should be of great use to you. "

"Well... that's not the case," Lu Lin scratched his head, his eyes a little vague.

"Forget it, it's up to you, but... if we really destroy the Netherworld Church," Si Li smiled and said, "I promise that you will become a friend of the Night Elves forever."

"Oh? That's... well, anyway, I've remembered it," Lu Lin smiled, "but let's solve the problem in front of us first. Tomorrow, I'm going to prepare some things, and then we need to find a suitable object at night."

"Well, about this," Si Li said, "If I remember correctly, we are looking for a drunkard, right?"
