Chapter 316 de Anisburg VIII
Henry didn't know what this change meant, but he could feel that his previous mentality of not caring too much about anything was gradually changing, and his feelings were fluctuating more and more. He knew very well that this state of affairs was dangerous, like a flood peak hitting a dam. If a string breaks, the consequences are catastrophic.
Perhaps, as the man in the mirror said in the dream, his soul is undergoing some kind of metamorphosis, and even the memories that had been forgotten before are beginning to loosen. In particular, the feeling of being in an infinite universe makes me feel small and pathetic, and only by repeated self-affirmation can I always maintain my consciousness and not dissipate.
Henry had wondered many times what his soul was. Is it a transparent and colorless consciousness like the humans in this world? Or is it what the Earth calls brainwave induction or bioelectromagnetism? Did his consciousness invade the soul, or did he enter the body with the soul?
It's a pity that I can't find any answers to my questions. Experiments have shown that his soul is different from any other life in this world, and no matter how he uses any method, not even the "wishing technique", he cannot cut even the slightest fragment from his soul. It was as if there was some kind of power attached to it, and no force could detect what was going on inside.
After the real yĆ n, when Henry thought that this qiÄ secret might be hidden forever like this, maybe it would never be solved, suddenly a strange dream unlocked a corner of the secret. While it would be risky to continue his exploration, he wasn't about to back down. Maybe many people are saying that they will let go of the past and look to the future, but that is all, and there is no one who can really do it.
"Take this qiÄ as an opportunity. A chance to rediscover yourself. Henry said to himself. He had made up his mind. No matter what kind of memories you get from the world in the mirror. It's all an integral part of itself. Only by embracing it and accepting it can a person become whole.
Ammon was the only one who didn't pay much attention to Henry's changes, as she was lying on the floor struggling with the lock on the door. This lock is much more complicated than anything I've encountered before, and judging by the silver pattern on it, it should be an antique from three or four hundred years ago. Although Naria said several times that it was completely possible to smash it and break in, the girl verbally refused. In her words, it's a big challenge in life, if you back down. So what should you do if you encounter difficulties in the future?
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone could only stand helplessly and watch. After more than ten minutes of hard work, the ancient lock finally made a "click" sound, and the door was opened. Amon stood up, raised his fist excitedly, and shouted to everyone: "Look! It's not much of a difficulty to me. How's that, isn't it amazing. ā
Henry smiled and took out of his pocket the prize in Joan. The portal key obtained from the underground room of Irenikas was placed in the girl's hand. "Here, take this as a reward for completing an important challenge in your life."
"Wow! Isn't that the beautiful key? Great, I'm the one who wants to come. Ammon's face was surprised. She had been fascinated by the key woven of Mithril thread, especially the black pearl at the top. If you buy it on the market, it must be worth a lot of money.
"If you like it, if you like. Let's go, let's see what's hidden inside. With that, Henry took the lead and walked in.
Since there were no oil lamps and torches. The room can be said to be out of sight. Just as he was about to release a "Light Technique" illumination, suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of him, and a sharp two-handed giant sword fell from the sky, slashing fiercely on the body that blessed the "Iron Technique", and a string of golden sparks were sparked.
Hina, who followed from behind, accurately located the sneak attacker with her night vision ability, and rushed forward without hesitation, using the huge strength of the half-dragon man to knock the opponent out fiercely. Henry hurriedly unleashed a "light spell", and now everyone saw the true face of the sneak attacker, a heavily armed human warrior. But his mind was obviously not very normal, not only his eyes were glazed, but he was still muttering something in his mouth.
The human warrior quickly got up from the ground, glared at everyone, and then shouted, "For the glory of my new master, I will kill you all." That's right, kill them all! Kill! Kill! ā
Naria apparently recognized the man and hurriedly stopped her teammates who were about to attack. "Glax? Is that you? Oh, no! Don't rush to do it yet. He was one of my father's most loyal guards, and he must have been controlled by some kind of enchanting magic. ā
"Don't worry, I think a 'dismantling' will bring him back to normal. With that, Henry unleashed the long-prepared spell forward. With his current spellcasting level, it didn't take much effort to undo the magic cast by a low-level mage.
A white light flashed, and Glax, who had been rushing towards him with his weapon in his hand, suddenly stopped, his dull eyes began to refocus, and after a few seconds, he returned to normal. He shook his head vigorously, then looked at everyone in surprise. "Uh...... How...... What's wrong? What's going on here? ā
"Thank goodness you're finally coming to your senses. Don't remember? You're seduced by the spell, I think it's the trolls......"
Before Naria could finish her sentence, the bearded guard immediately remembered. "Right...... That's right, I remember now. That damn troll leader...... Togel, I think that's the right name. It told its snake mage to cast a spell, and then I don't remember anything. Besides, Sir de Anies had been wishing to have his shackles recast before he was captured, and I happened to have a lock here. ā
Hearing what happened to this warrior, Henry couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him. Obviously, this is another guy who has been toyed with by the mage and applauded. Normally, the memories of being enchanted do not disappear, but the person in front of him is obviously not. The biggest possibility is that the caster didn't want to reveal the secret, so he tampered with some of the memories by the way. As far as he knows, this practice has a certain amount of damage to the brain, ranging from forgetfulness to idiocy.
Glax and Narya spoke for a few minutes, then handed the acid-based flail lock to each other, and stumbled towards the staircase. He stood at the door of the room and hesitated for a long time, and finally found the right direction. This kind of behavior once again proves the guess just now, and it seems that this person's brain damage is quite severe.
But none of this has much to do with Henry. Glancing at the more than 20,000 experience points that had just arrived, a smile appeared on his face. All of them are proceeding according to the plan, and it would be even better if Balagath "Flying Flame" could also show up on time after killing all the monsters here.
Now that all the monsters on the entire second floor have been cleared, everyone hurried back to the room leading to the secret passage of the dungeon. Nalya moved a brick in the corner, and a stone door opened. She pointed to the dark, cold passage inside and said, "This is it." I only remember my father mentioning it once, but I don't know what it looks like. ā
Aemon couldn't wait to get in, and ran out again a minute later. She asked with a puzzled face, "Are you sure you made a mistake?" It's a dead end. ā
"How is that possible! I remember it clearly, and it must be right here. ā
Seeing Naria's determined face, Aemon let out a scream. "Ahh Damn, it's a disaster. It's dirty and smelly, and there are a lot of spiders and rats, so if you look for a secret passage in this environment, you might as well kill me. ā
Sheena frowned and asked, "Is the environment inside really as bad as you say?" ā
"Believe me, it's unbelievably bad. I even saw a fist-sized poisonous spider and a mouse bigger than a cat. ā
Ammon's words made all the women shudder, and then they all stared at the only male in the group. Henry shrugged his shoulders indifferently, stared at the "Illumination Technique" and walked in. After all, he's still a druid, so there's no need to be afraid of spiders and mice. As soon as he entered the passage, he saw an adult spider the size of a fist and a red pattern on its belly. This is none other than the famous "Black Widow".
Henry shuddered, and hurried a few quick steps away from the arthropod that could kill him with a single bite. Near the end of the hallway, he found a mouse larger than a cat. After a brief communication, the mouse told him that there were two secret doors. One of them is on the west wall, and the other is at the end of the hallway. However, the mechanism is hidden on the ceiling crawling with "Black Widow", and if you want to touch it, you must first solve these big problems.
Glancing at the dense spiders overhead, Henry secretly let out a bad breath. He first tried to touch it with the mage's hand, but found that it didn't move at all. Maybe it's because it's been too long, and the trap has been stuck with too much dust and cobwebs. There was really no other way, so I had to cast a fourth-level magic "Breeding Spider Technique".
I saw two spider eggs appear out of thin air in front of Henry, and under the nourishment of the power of magic, they quickly grew larger, and broke out of their shells in a few seconds. Two sword spiders with black and white patterns on their bellies hatched.
"Up! Kill all the spiders above," Henry gave the order to attack without hesitation.
The two sword spiders quickly climbed up the ceiling along the wall and launched an attack on their own kind, which was countless times smaller than themselves. Although the "Black Widow" is very poisonous, it is difficult to pose much threat to the sword spider because the mouthparts are too small. The one-sided killing lasted only five minutes, and nearly a hundred or so "Black Widows" were all dead.
