This is talking about mom’s left eye, right?
What does she mean?
So mom is the victim?
Is the meaning of the mother's existence to give eyes to Ha Wen's descendants?
Anger, absurdity, fear... and most of all, disbelief.
Emily refused to acknowledge that the "Mother Goddess" the other person was talking about was that person.
Because if that's the case...
if it is like this……
Hitzfeld and Harwin's relationship...
It's going to be different all of a sudden...
"So, what is my mission?"
Alvin controlled his emotions and asked the cloaked man.
"My ancestors have always been confused about Harwin's mission. Why were we left behind? Why were we not taken to the Kingdom of the Sun? Can you tell me the reason? Is it because we need to reach this temple?"
"exactly."
The cloaked man nodded.
"Is the evil god sealed here?"
"Many evil gods."
"how many?"
“Almost all of those who survived the initial collision with the Kingdom of God are imprisoned here.”
"So where is this place?"
Alvin's voice trembled.
What a horrible prison!
She couldn't imagine what would happen if this place was damaged!
"It only exists in the void." The cloaked man smiled, "Only if the blood of the Hawen God Clan condenses into candles and uses that candlelight to illuminate the road can we reach it."
"As for your mission, it is naturally to end the meaning of existence here."
"I……?"
Alvin almost thought he had heard wrongly.
"You heard that right."
The cloaked man stopped laughing.
"Your mission is to kill all the evil gods imprisoned here and bring the new world to welcome the return of the Kingdom of God."
Chapter 30: Exploring the New World (Two in One)
She said to kill all the imprisoned evil gods—
For a moment, Alvin thought he was dreaming.
No, I was dreaming... Maybe it was just my imagination, I was too anxious, and the absurd dream formed by all those thoughts...
But...it shouldn't be like this!
After all, having been tempered on the throne, Elwin's determination was far from her appearance. She turned around and put this idea behind her. Almost immediately, she was 100% sure that what she was experiencing now was not a dream!
Or maybe it's a dream and not a dream, didn't Lika-Haven also say so? Anyway, I can really feel the existence of my will, I can feel my feet touching the ground here, I can breathe the cold but refreshing air here, I can feel my body and mind being warmed by the candlelight... It's so warm and real, all of which can prove that I "really exist in this place"!
Then...
Her eyes were half-closed.
Then we can’t treat it as a dream and play around as we please…
Emily, who had been watching the two of them, frowned.
She discovered a small detail: ever since the cloaked person flicked Alwin's candle, she had been pinching the index finger of her right hand that she used to flick the candle, making sure it was in the blind spot of Alwin's vision no matter how her body changed.
What does this mean?
"I can't do it." Alvin shook his head at the cloaked man. "That's too much. Even if it's the weakest evil god, I can only rely on the power of Ji Yang if I want to deal with it. I can't use any power here now. It's impossible for me to complete this task."
"You can." The cloaked man said with some disdain, "Why do you think the Temple of the Sacrifice has such a prefix? It was built to wait for this day, to wait for the arrival of the descendant of God holding the key."
"Then tell me what I should do?"
"It's very simple." Seeing that she was about to agree, the cloaked man was visibly cheered up. She walked around, put her right hand on the queen's shoulder, and pointed with her left hand to the front of the road - that is, the darkness further inside.
Again!
Emily stared.
Given the positions of these two people before, is it necessary to do such an intimate gesture before giving directions?
Moreover, Lika-Haven flicked the candle with her right hand, which shows that her right hand is her dominant hand. Why did she switch to using her left hand to point the way? Doesn't she feel awkward?
Very suspicious!
Quite suspicious!
This guy deliberately used this method to make Alwin ignore her right hand... There must have been some abnormal changes in her right hand, and she wanted to conceal this change!
"On our roads now, you can see such pillars every 11 meters."
The cloaked man had no idea that someone was secretly spying on him, and he was still explaining the following key points to Alwin as normal.
"Yeah." Alvin nodded.
"If you continue walking inside, you will enter the temple prison hall. There is a circular hall with rows of pillars arranged radially. In the center of the hall is a statue of the goddess. Below is a table with a large book on it."
"Um……"
As Alwin agreed with her, he thought to himself that this was exactly the same as the description of the "Gray Mist Temple".
If that was the case, then she probably knew what Lika would say next.
"You have to find a way to cross this road, get to the table, and touch the book." The cloaked man nodded. "This process is very dangerous, because you will find that each of the pillars is wrapped with chains. There is gray fog all around and visibility is very low. You will see that most of the chains are stretched and extended, sinking into the gray fog. Don't worry about these or any noise coming from the fog. You must find the table as soon as possible and touch the big book on the table!"
"Senior Lika." Erwin paused, "Sorry to interrupt... You told me so much in detail, does that mean you don't plan to go in with me?"
"Although I am also a descendant of God, I don't have the key." The cloaked man smiled, "The key is the key to entering that realm."
“What’s at the end of the chain?” Alvin narrowed his eyes.
"Is it the evil god?"
"good."
"How long is the chain?"
"It's hard to estimate. Some are long, some are short, and some are simply chained to pillars. That kind of threat is the least."
"By 'key', does it mean that if I get it, they will temporarily treat me as one of their own?"
"Very smart, right! That's what I mean! They will think you are one of their kind wandering around. You need to stop for a while after walking a certain distance to confuse them. Otherwise, if you walk too far and too freely, they will realize that you have no chains on you, and your identity will be exposed."
"How can I be sure that I am safe?" Alvin asked carefully, "How can I be sure that they haven't seen through my disguise?"
"Just pay attention to the pillars around you. The chains are usually straight, which means that the things at the end are far away. But if you find that there are many chains hanging down, it means that the things at the end are approaching you quickly."
"What should I do then?"
"It depends on where you were at the time... Normally, it takes 110 steps from the entrance to the center of the prison. You can count them yourself. If it's less than 54 steps, quickly retreat. If it's more than 56 steps, quickly run inside."
"Isn't that too general? What if it's exactly around 55 steps?"
"Then it all depends on luck." The cloaked man spread his hands, "There are always risks involved. This is not something that is guaranteed to succeed."
"But this isn't just an ordinary risk... I can understand retreating, but running inside, does that mean I'll be safe as long as I touch the book?"
"No, not enough."
"What else is there to do?"
"You need... I'm not sure if there is ink and pen on that table. It may be both, or there may be only pens, or even nothing at all. You need to be mentally prepared."
"What kind of preparations?"
"Be prepared to write in the book with your blood."
"My? ...blood?"
"There should be a reaction. If you have both, then you can dip the ink and write. If you only have a pen, you can use the tip of the pen to pierce your finger and dip it in the blood to write. If you have neither, then you can only find a way to prick your finger and write directly."
"Write what?"
“Write your name.”
"My name? Is that enough?"
"That's enough. That book will recognize you, and you will gain control of the temple. Then you will use your privileges as a descendant of God to release the fire of the Sun God - through that book, it will tell you what to do - and burn all those things to death!"
"Sounds easy."
"It's easy for you, but it's the hardest thing for others."
"There's one thing I don't understand." Alvin stared at the cloaked man. "It sounds like these evil gods are prisoners. Although they are very dangerous, this danger has been confined to a very small range."
"Yes."
"The danger they pose is limited to half-baked mortals like me. They should be very weak to Ai... to the Mother Goddess."
"Is such that."
"Then why did the Mother Goddess build the Temple of Sacrifices to lock them up?" Alvin frowned, "Wouldn't it be better to just kill them?"
"I think that's because the Mother Goddess had more important things to do at the time."
The cloaked man smiled.
"Maybe she planned it this way. Maybe this is just a death row for those monsters before their execution. But the fact is that they were ignored at the time. There is no doubt that there are more important things to deal with than killing them."
But what could be more important than this?
Not only Alvin, but Emily who was listening also found it ridiculous.
Although Lika-Haven did not describe in detail how many pillars with chains there were, it was estimated that the number would not be less than double digits. With such a terrible hidden danger, how could the Sun King dare to put them here? Wasn't she afraid that criminals would escape from prison?
unless……
Unless the gray fog isn't the only thing trapped here.
Perhaps there were greater threats and more powerful gods in the gray fog. The Sun King realized that if he didn't stop that terrible will, all order would be overturned. In comparison, the monsters in the prison could at least be delayed, so it really didn't seem that important.
So she left the task of execution to future generations?
The cloaked person made it sound like it was as easy as pressing a button. Was it really as easy as she described?
It is true that there are dangerous places in the process, and the degree of danger is quite high.
But compared with the possible results after success, this danger is insignificant!
Both share a sense of unreality.
At once……
If this is all it takes to eliminate the threat posed by the Gray Mist Temple, then the double-digit Gray Mist Evil Gods can be wiped out in one go.
Then...there's no reason to refuse, right?
"How have you considered it?"
The cloaked man pursed his lips.
"A mission that only the glorious descendants of God can accomplish."
"You won't refuse this destined fate."
"..."
Alvin frowned and said nothing.
