Start with the Readers Chapter 396: Trial of Will
"Carvetua"? This seems to be the 'God of the Sea' that the natives of Rorsted Islands have always believed in before they were colonized... Until now, many believers believe that this god, who often appears in the image of a huge sea snake, can give them protection and prevent the islands they live from being shaken by earthquakes And engulfed by the tsunami.
It was actually born in the third era? ! Even if it may have been the end of the third era at that time, according to some books of the organization, it is more than 2,500 years ago... Why did it live for so long?
Well, either its offspring inherited its characteristics and name, or it found another way to prolong its lifespan...
Speaking of which, the "pillar" of the organization, the family's Aloran ancestors also lived for more than 2,000 years. Most Kindred don't live that long.
Thinking so in her heart, Ms. Laticia withdrew her thoughtful gaze and entered the second level of the trial - "will".
…
At the same time, Abner couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic when he looked at the deep-sea sea monster at the end of the mural that was forcibly inserted into the "Prophet" attribute.
Because he has already recognized that the sea monster is actually an extraordinary creature, as old as the Obnis sea monster raised by the Church of Storms, but smarter.
It is called "Saigust", and its blood crystals and brains seem to be the main materials of the middle-order potion, but Abner does not know which one it belongs to.
But no matter which category it belongs to, although it has been forced into the "prophet" to reach the sky in one step, it will have a terrible future trouble, even if it is because of temporary "luck" that it has successfully integrated its characteristics.
As for finding the sea monster's hunting characteristics based on the clues in the murals? Abner didn't even think about it. Not to mention that the "Saigust" sea monster may have been hunted and killed long ago, even if it survived to this day, the sea is so big, where should I look for it?
Seeing that the crystal chandelier on the other side of the corridor dimmed again, Abner didn't delay any longer, pushed open the opposite door at the end of the corridor, and entered the "Trial" hall.
Different from the previous "Courage" trial, although this hall is not as bright as the corridor, it is never dark. The soft light is reflected from the different crystals on the dome, dividing the entire hall into two parts .
One part is slightly dark, but there are beautiful elves singing and dancing one after another. They either make various hints to Abner, or use two branches to pick up the clotted animal blood, as if they are doing their best. The temptation to step into that "middle line".
"Although these female elves look good, their skin color and hair color don't match my aesthetics...and what do you mean by putting two male elves in it? Poor review!
"Not to mention gourmet food, although something like 'Blood Prosperity' looks familiar, I didn't like it in my previous life, and the spices are too simple, even the cooks on Davill Island Not as good... Bad review!
"Finally, what are those bottles and cans? Fruit wine? The brewing process is terrible, and there are so many floating objects in the wine that have not been filtered out... Poor review!"
Seeing this scene, Abner felt that using these things to test his "will" was like a joke. No matter how weak his will was, it was impossible for him to be tempted by these unattractive things. .
However, Abner soon discovered that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Because over time, that "middle line" moved a notch toward the side of the elves. On the other side of the central line of the hall, at this time, he gradually felt depressed and irritable, and then evolved into more specific feelings of hunger, thirst, impulsiveness, etc...
These feelings are not physical sensations, but directly affect the spirit, and they are not directly harmful, so even if Abner opened the "Pure White Eye", it could not be blocked...
Obviously this is the real test of the "will" level.
"The situation is obvious... There are 12 scales in this room, one side will bear 'pain', and the other side will be 'happy' like a 'wine pool and meat forest'...
"The 'boundary' was at 6 o'clock in the center just now, but now it has reached 7... As long as I stay on this side, the scale will continue to approach 12. Once it reaches 12, it should pass. But this During the process, the degree of 'pain' endured will definitely increase gradually.
"Conversely, if I go to the other side, it will be reversed, and the scale will approach 0 with time. Once it reaches 0, the trial will fail.
"If I am in the 'mechanical mind' state at this time, then I will definitely make a plan. When I can't bear it, I will go to the opposite side of the 'happiness' to rest and recover for a while, and then return to the other side to continue the 'suffering' ...and so on, the spiral approaches 12.
"But that's actually a trap... People are not machines, and it's impossible to execute such a plan perfectly. Once the 'will' relaxes and goes to the other side to 'enjoy', it will be difficult to persist in the future... I always find excuses for myself to 'rest and enjoy'...
"So, either stick to it from the beginning to the end, or fail, I'm afraid there is no compromise..."
While suffering from various discomforts, Abner used "analysis" to divert his attention, avoiding to look at the scene on the other side.
But the inadvertent glance still made his mouth dry, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before he could bear it.
"Damn it, it's only on the scale of 7..." Abner just muttered, and the "boundary" jumped to the 8 position. At this time, not only the previous feelings were doubled, but also all kinds of confusing hallucinations and ravings appeared in his ears, constantly stimulating his senses.
And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the surrounding temperature had also increased a lot, and he even felt some burning sensation on his exposed skin.
"No... this is not the way to go! Although I claim to be strong-willed, I was born in a peaceful age and have not experienced any hardships after crossing. In terms of willpower against pain, I must be inferior to the elves in the chaotic age...
"These temptations are easy to say now. If there are pains, tortures and other feelings in the future, I will definitely not be able to hold on... On this point, I can't even compare to Forsi who has been tossed by the full moon's raving...
"But is there any way to circumvent this direct effect on the spirit and feedback to the body?
"That's right! Forsi! After she entered the 'Origin Castle', those ravings that directly affected her spirit were blocked!
"So, at this time, I just need to go to Mister Fool to 'study' for a few hours and wait for the scale to reach 12?"
In the flash of his thoughts, Abner had an idea in his mind. He first opened the "Pure White Eye" to simulate the ability of "Ice" and applied it to his face to make himself more energetic, and then put on a prayer posture , chanting devoutly in the ancient Hermes language:
"A fool who does not belong to this era;
"The mysterious ruler above the gray fog;
"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."
…
Becklund Bridge area, at the back door of the Brave Bar.
Wearing a peaked cap, Klein was carefully protecting the wallet in the inner pocket of the gray-blue worker's jacket, and then followed Maric, who was wearing only a white shirt and black vest, who seemed not afraid of the cold at all, and boarded a carriage. .
At this time, Miss Sharron with light blond hair and blue eyes appeared on the seat opposite him.
"Why did you come here?" Sharon asked succinctly.
Klein replied frankly:
"I want to ask you if you have any clues to the materials I need... In addition, I also need some more esoteric books..."
The pale but delicate Sharon looked at him with blue eyes and said:
"The Book of Secrets of the Witch-King Karaman.
"In exchange for a favor."
Help... Although he felt a tinge of gratitude to Miss Sharron, Klein still didn't dare to agree for a while.
He thought about it for a while, and then asked in detail what kind of help Sharon and Maric needed, as well as their origins, and the general situation of the enemy.
Sharon and Maric did not refuse, and answered Klein's questions one by one.
Are they the temperance faction of the "School of Roses"? This is consistent with my guess.
Maric is a "living corpse", which fits his image of not being afraid of the cold and playing cards with corpses;
And Miss Sharon is a resentful soul? And this sequence? It really is a different way... Klein was a little surprised at first ~IndoMTL.com~ and then felt that this really fits the characteristics of easy transformation between physical and spiritual bodies.
However, after hearing that there was a demigod among the enemies, two Sequence 5s, one Sequence 6, and two Sequence 7s, Klein became uneasy. How could such a lineup win? They really didn't go to die.
Seemingly seeing Klein's doubts, Maric explained: "Someone will stop the demigod of the indulgent faction, and we also have a helper who is responsible for dealing with 'Wraith' Steve and 'Werewolf' Taylor. "
Based on this calculation, our opponent actually only has one Sequence 5, one Sequence 6 and one Sequence 7... This is reasonable.
"But the Indulgence faction has mobilized so many people in order to catch you!" Klein sighed.
"Originally there weren't that many... But last time, in order to prevent Steve from participating in the 'Cursed Object' fight, Sharon and I exposed the fact that we got help from a 'Potions Professor' and let them know We are no longer afraid of the weakness and madness brought about by the curse of the full moon... That's why we added more people." Maric scratched his slightly messy hair and said.
The "Cursed Thing"...couldn't be the "1-025"? Klein recalled the "Witch of Pain incident" mentioned by Mr. "Tower", and the "Baron Conva incident" after watching the "live broadcast", and couldn't help but have a guess in his heart:
Could it be that Miss Sharron and Maric are also friends of Mr. "Tower"?
