Chapter 500: Thinking and Illusion
Henry didn't know what was wrong with him, and was always very hostile to Loshanda. As a legendary spellcaster, this is not normal. In particular, he has always been very sensible, and even Shar, the goddess of the night who calculates himself, has never had a similar affection for him.
But for him, the word normal is a bit of a luxury. Whether it is the crazy and distorted negative consciousness in the depths of the soul, or the power of the self that has not yet been understood, all of them are very mysterious, and they affect their emotions all the time. Especially the latter, as long as the brain activity is slightly more frequent, the unknown rune on the forehead will glow.
Obviously, this kind of writing was certainly not born in the world of Torrell, because Henry searched almost all the texts and used prophetic magic to do divination, but in the end found nothing. Ever since he had seen the origin of the universe before the birth of the universe in his dream, he had a bold conjecture.
Perhaps this kind of writing comes from the universe where the earth is located, and belongs to some kind of super civilization or some special matter produced by the Big Bang. In short, there must be an inseparable connection with one's own crossing. The negative personality should know something, but he doesn't say anything, only waiting for the soul battle to be over and find out.
Anyway, as the number of Sealed Mirrors decreases, it will take another year at most to have results. Judging from the current speed of absorption, he has an absolute advantage, and he should not be at a disadvantage at that time. However, the opposite side knows a lot of secrets, and may be stronger in terms of power control.
Of course, this is just speculation, and no one knows what will happen in the end. It can be said that Henry is under a lot of pressure right now. On the one hand, he must accompany Aberdell and Ammon through the path of becoming gods. It's not just about defeating those powerful sons of the gods. And in the end, he has to deal with the lying prince Shirek with powerful divine powers. The difficulty and danger are absolutely beyond imagination.
On the other hand, he has to deal with another self and get to know the secrets of his own existence. If you lose the battle of souls, you will undoubtedly be sealed or devoured, and every qiē that has taken ten years to carefully arrange will become someone else's wedding dress. Compared to the former, this is the most daunting.
Under the shroud of this huge crisis, Henry admires himself and can still maintain a peaceful mind. According to the original plan, step by step, there is no panic at all, and there is even leisure to participate in these trivial things. I'm afraid that someone else would have started to accumulate strength frantically, and in order to be able to achieve the final victory, he would not hesitate to kill even on a large scale.
Because he knows very well that the battle of souls is completely different from normal battles, and it is not that whoever has the stronger strength will definitely win. This is a contest between heart and will, strength is only one aspect, and more importantly, there must be no mental loopholes. If one does not care about one qiē for the sake of strength now, then psychologically there will be a hint that the enemy is stronger than oneself. The consequences are so severe that there is no need to say much about it.
Truth be told, Henry wasn't afraid of his alter ego. On the contrary, I am very much looking forward to the coming of this battle. In his thinking, it is a part that must be fused, even if it is distorted and crazy, it is a consciousness born in the depths of the soul. If you don't have yourself, it's incomplete, not to mention that it also involves the control of your own power, and you must definitely get it back.
As the saying goes, this is a war – a war with no way back, either survive and become a winner, or die and become a loser. Ever since the day Henry learned that the negative personality exists, he has been mentally prepared for this, and for several months, he has been making planned choices and absorbing those emotional fragments, trying to make up for the holes in his heart, rather than stupidly trying to increase his strength.
Now these actions have had a very good effect, and he can feel that his way of thinking is becoming more and more normal, although he still has some utilitarian intentions, he can already think from the perspective of others. It has to be said that this is a very big step forward and marks a breakthrough in terms of character.
Look at the problem from the other side's point of view, don't appear to be smarter than others, this is the best choice for others. You must know that the reason why many people fail is because they can't empathize, can't understand the behavior of others, only think about their own interests, and eventually lead to rebellion and divorce.
"Hey! What are you thinking, so obsessed? Aamon's words pulled Henry back from his musings.
He smiled and shook his head and replied, "It's nothing, it's just a little confused about the future." ”
"Damn! You still have time to think about that, and quickly focus on what is in front of you. Looking at what the hell is going on here, I always have a very strange feeling. Sheena grumbled with a frown. As a half-dragon, she has a keen sense of magic and can perceive the unreality of her surroundings.
As soon as they entered the tent, everyone was startled by what they saw. Gone were the rudimentary wooden seats, replaced by a tower built into the dark void. The arched stone bridge was the only way to enter, and a tall djinn was blocking the entrance, looking very strange.
Henry didn't answer immediately, but chanted a spell in a low voice, and quickly cast a sixth-level magic "True Gaze". I saw a dark blue giant eye open suddenly, and the surrounding black void and bridge suddenly shook unsteadily, but it didn't take long for it to return to normal.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Yao En immediately jumped up and shouted, "Oh my God! These are all illusions in front of us! It's incredible! ”
"It seems that we need to find a mage who performs illusions and talk to them, and I hope everyone inside is okay." After saying that, Kaidong picked up the holy sword again. If the other person does not dispel the illusion, he does not mind using some violent means.
"Remember, whatever you see for a while, as long as the other party does not attack, do not act rashly. Because it's all been affected by illusion, what the eye sees isn't real. Henry reminded very sternly. He didn't want anything to happen on this short adventure.
Selly Leph stroked the black length and said very proudly, "It's okay, I can feel other people's hearts under Tyre's teachings." Whether the other party has malicious intent or not can be distinguished at a glance. ”
"In that case, I'm relieved. Let's go, don't keep the owner of this place waiting too long. With that, Henry drove his wheelchair onto the stone bridge.
Just when everyone was halfway there, the djinn guarding the door suddenly reacted. It took him less than a second to stop in the middle, and at the same time let out an inexplicable laugh: "Ahahahahahaha! There are travelers coming to this place, and Kara will be glad to know about it. You have to answer a puzzle and get it right before you can get it right. ”
"Who is Kara? The mage who created these illusions? Ammon asked curiously.
"Ah, yes, that's right. But if you want to see him, you have to answer the questions first, are you ready? The djinn asked aloud again. Obviously, he was just a created illusion and couldn't answer too many questions.
Henry didn't want to waste time, and nodded without hesitation. "Ask, we're ready."
The djinn cleared his throat and began to read the riddle aloud: "Listen! There was a princess and a prince in the royal palace. The princess was N years ago, and her age was half of the sum of the two of their current age, and the prince's age before N years was multiplied by two, which is equivalent to the princess's age after M years. And after the prince has passed M years, it is equal to the princess's current age. Now, what are the ages of the princess and the prince? ”
"Quite simply, the age of the prince is thirty, and the age of the princess is forty." Henry thought about it briefly and came up with the answer. A very simple equation may be difficult for people on the continent of Faeron, but it is too easy for him who has experienced the devastation of advanced mathematics.
"Aha! That's right. The great Carla has always admired clever people with quick minds, and you can get through guò. After saying that, the djinn's body quickly curled up into a small dot and disappeared in front of everyone in a very strange way.
Seeing that he had passed the first level so lightly, Yao En touched his beard and muttered quietly: "It seems that this guy named Kara is not too bad, maybe he just wants to have some fun." ”
"I don't think a guy who locks up ordinary people for fun is going to be a good guy. In any case, he strictly harmed the rights and interests of others, and he had to be locked up for at least a few months. Kaidon was unrelenting in pointing out Kara's crimes. In his opinion, this is simply a strict provocation to order, although the crime is not death, but it should also be taught a good lesson.
Henry, not wanting to listen to the debate about order and chaos, immediately stopped the topic and led everyone into the tower, which looked somewhat mysterious. As soon as they walked through the door, they saw an ogre approaching them. It shouted in panic: "You...... Who are you? Oh! Oh, my God! Get out of here. He...... He'll kill everyone who enters here, so run for your life! ”
"Wow! What the hell are you? How can a young girl's voice come out? Ammon asked, wide-eyed. Clearly, her curiosity had flare up again.
As if hearing something terrible, the ogre immediately took a few steps back and covered his face with his hand, crying and explaining, "Woo woo...... No! I...... I'm not a monster!!! My name is Alley, and I'm a winged elf...... At least it used to be...... What you see now is an illusion, a fear of the heart. Also, please don't hurt the other people in this room, they look scary, but they don't hurt anyone. ”
After listening to her words, everyone finally figured out what was going on here. It seems that the giant spiders, ooze monsters, ogres and other monsters that are wandering around are ordinary people, and they are all blessed with some kind of illusion, and they don't dare to leave here. After all, it is a city outside, and once it appears in the form of a monster, I am afraid that it will be killed immediately by the patrolling soldiers.
