Roland had heard that pyramid schemes were divided into two factions, the north and the south, and the southern faction paid attention to deception, and the people who deceived believed that there was a lot of money to do in this business, and voluntarily participated in pyramid schemes; The northern faction is even more violent, using almost kidnapping to coerce others to join the gang, and whoever dares to retreat will inevitably be beaten up, similar to a gangster. Mr. Holmens is engaged in pyramid schemes in Akron, and he always tries to get the entrants to cooperate, so what means does he use to control his downline? Southern or Northern?

"Master, why did those adventurers who strayed into Akron obediently listen to you after learning the truth to build portals and spread the Twin Dreams, instead of choosing to reveal the truth about Akron and expose the deception of the Twin Dreams?" Lyudmila had the same question as Roland, "Will those people still be under your control after they leave Akron?" ”

"To be honest, I did use some shady little tricks, asking outsiders to swear an oath when they left, first, not to reveal the truth about Akron to the outside world, and second, to do everything possible to build a portal and spread the "Double Dreams", when the other party made an oath, they also fell into my 'command' and had to act according to the agreement, otherwise even if they escaped from Akron, they would still suffer from nightmares after falling asleep every night. Holmunk replied calmly.

Lyudmila frowned slightly, and continued to ask: "You can send outsiders out of Akron, why don't you just send away the 'sober' in the vault as well?" ”

"I've done that, but it doesn't make sense." Holmens let out a bitter laugh telepathically, "Outsiders leave Akron and will not come back, but we, the dependents of the evil gods, cannot cut the bonds from the bloodline, even if we escape from Akron, as long as we still need sleep and can dream, it is possible to contact the will of the evil god again in the dream realm, and be pulled back to Akron again, as if experiencing a reincarnation, in the end nothing can be changed, but worse...... I hurt them. ”

Holmens' last sentence was filled with deep remorse and sounded inexplicable. Didn't the "sobers" he sent out of Akron dragged back by nightmares again? How could they be victimized by him?

Roland thought for a while, guessing that the "fugitives" who were captured by the evil gods would probably be punished severely, and the situation was not as good as before he escaped, and Holmonks also deeply regretted it, and then he never dared to try to send the "sober" out of Akron.

"Young man, I would like to repent of the deception I once set up, perhaps my present situation is the punishment for this, since the split personality, I have given up the practice of spreading lies, and there are fewer and fewer adventurers coming to Akron, the city has become the world of the cult of fanatics, the last survivors are all in Vault 13, I have to ask you to kill Higgs and his group of crazy cultists, only then can I save the poor children outside, Are you willing to accept the request of a dying old man? ”

Hearing Holmunks' request, Lyudmila immediately looked at Roland with earnestness in her eyes. Even if Holmens doesn't speak, the kind-hearted female ranger has to take the initiative to help.

Roland looked at Anthony, and the rich young master shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was willing to follow the command.

Roland turned to the crystal jar and said, "Master Hallmonks, we accept your request and will do everything in our power to eliminate Higgs and his mad followers. ”

"Thank you, young man from Vares, when you fulfill your promise, I will cast a spell to send you home, and there will be no more 'Double Dreams' to trick people into Akron." Holmonx said with relief.

Roland nodded, and was about to say goodbye when Corolla suddenly spoke.

"Master, I have one more question."

"Child, if you have something to say, I know everything."

"When you asked people to spread the Double Dream Chronicle and build a portal in various planes, did you set up a ritual to open the portal, such as having to recite a specific spell and ring a copper bell engraved with the emblem of the evil god to open the portal?"

"There is a spell to open the portal, and I will ask someone to write it into different versions of "Double Dreams", but the bronze bell engraved with the emblem of the evil god?" Holmens seemed confused, "Isn't that the evil emblem of the Fanatic Sect?" That's the sign of Higgs, and I haven't had anyone imitate that trick. ”

"That's weird...... "Grofer looked strange, "when we entered Akron, we did use the Zealot Emblem to open the teleportation altar, and that altar was guarded by Higgs's henchmen. ”

The will in the crystal jar was silent for a long time before muttering, "What's going on...... Could it be that Higgs continues to spread the hoax and create new portals? No way! There's no reason for that crazy guy to do that! ”

"Maybe it's because of madness that he would do such an inexplicable thing." Roland continued. He saw that Holmonks was very tired, and he took his farewell on behalf of his companion. As he was leaving, he noticed that Gropha was winking, and he deliberately fell behind, following him into a secluded corner.

"It's just the two of us here, tell me, what's wrong?" Roland asked softly.

"That's the last question I asked, the teleportation altar at the bottom of the lake of terror, based on the life of the author of 'Two Dreams' and the age when the altar was built, at that time, Master Holmonks had a split personality and became a prisoner in a bottle, and that altar should not have been built by someone he trusted." Colossa's brow furrowed.

"Isn't there another possibility, like this old man in the bottle has been lying and deceiving us from beginning to end." Roland asked coldly.

Grofa's face twitched, and he sighed dejectedly: "Of course there is such a possibility, but I can't bear to speculate on a poor old man with such malice, and if I have to find an answer to this matter, I would rather believe that Higgs built the altar at the bottom of the lake of terror for some reason." ”

"Maybe we'll never know the truth......" Roland laughed suddenly, "Don't think too much, this is Akron, isn't it stupid to seek the truth in this nightmare city where there is no logic at all?" ”

"You're right, when you come to Akron, you have to learn to give up your curiosity, learn to cut through, and if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, the truth or something, it's really not that important." Gropha stretched out in relief.

"Go back and get some rest, see you tomorrow morning." Roland patted him on the shoulder, "If nothing else, tomorrow will be our last day in Akron." ”

"I hope so!" Grophaus nodded heavily.
