Wheel of Fortune.

Silent, candles flanked by azure flames lined up on both sides of the quiet hallway, illuminating the otherwise dimly lit space. The heavy red carpet on the ground seems to have no traces of time at all, as clean and tidy as ever, and the mysterious patterns painted on the ceiling turn into circles that are set together, showing a mysterious and graceful form. This is the core of the world, the place of destiny, and it can even be said that it is one of the most sacred and mysterious places in this world.

But right now, things are going on here that are completely unrelated to the sacred.

"Smack!"

The flesh collided violently with a crisp sound, and Lijie next to her leaned against the wall, turning her head to look at the corner with a flushed face. Beside her, Anne's eyes widened with excitement, her emerald green eyes sparkling at what was happening in front of her.

"Whew!!"

Feeling the impact coming from behind her and the pain that penetrated deep into her body, Marlene covered her mouth with her right hand and held the wall in front of her with her left hand. Force yourself not to make a sound. At this moment, her face was flushed, her eyes were full of tears, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, lying on the ground like this, raising her hips high, and posing in an extremely shameful and seductive pose. But at this moment, the girl had no intention of resisting, she just gritted her teeth, covered her mouth with her right hand, and tried to endure the violent impact behind her.

"Smack!"

"Whew!!"

The girl's delicate body trembled suddenly, and she almost let go of her right hand covering her mouth, but she still managed to resist the impact. But instead, Marlene's head was raised high, and her beautiful burgundy eyes were full of tears at the moment, but Rod obviously didn't seem satisfied with the performance of the girl in front of him, and he looked at the girl in front of him leisurely with a cold face. Then he snorted coldly.

"Smack!!

“………… Yes............!! ”

With the violent impact, this time Marlene finally couldn't hold back anymore, and a coquettish gasp came out of her mouth. It was only at this time that Rod nodded in satisfaction, and then withdrew his right hand. Marlene, on the other hand, slowly collapsed against the wall as if she had lost her strength, and it was only then that Lijie hurriedly ran forward. helped the disheveled girl stand up, while Marlene supported Lijie beside her with one hand, and slowly reached behind her with the other, stroking her aching and numb buttocks, gritting her teeth, and looking at Rod behind her with a dissatisfied expression.

"It's too much, Rod, even my dad didn't hit me!"

"It's punishment, punishment, you know? Marlene? Children who lie will be punished. You can't even learn this, do you? ”

"Woo..............."

Hearing Rod's answer, Marlene's face changed slightly, she turned to look at the man in front of her, and couldn't help but take two steps back, until she felt that she was leaning against the wall behind her. Although she admits that it was wrong for her to hide it, Rod's punishment is too shameful. Not to mention that he wanted to be spanked with his back to him, he actually wanted Lijie and Anne to watch from the sidelines, not to mention Lijie as his childhood sweetheart's friend. Since she was a child, she has never seen herself so ashamed. Anne's undisguised excitement and excited gaze also made Marlene feel like she was on pins and needles, and it was good that she couldn't bear to look at her like Lijie. But to be so naked and look like Anne is completely a punishment for herself.

"If you want to be a tragic heroine, you must also ask for my consent, and it's just a matter of reminiscing and bringing in Mary Sue in novels and movies, although I can't understand that any woman likes to watch the kind of romance drama in the eight o'clock file where she was abandoned by her husband after being abused by her mother-in-law and then framed by Xiao San, she broke her head and bled and was disabled. But after all, people's preferences are different, but if you can't even tell the difference between reality and fiction, it's a disease, your pathetic fantasy .........," said Rod, clapping his palm heavily. This suddenly made Marlene's body tremble, and her hands subconsciously protected her behind. “……… It's up to me to break it. How's it going, are you awake now? ”

"Woo..............."

Hearing this, Anne and Lijie both looked at Marlene with a little amusement on their faces, and the truth of the matter was that they had already heard Rhodes say it just now. But of course, like Rod, both of them are very dissatisfied with Marlene's intention to secretly be the heroine of the tragedy without telling them, although they are also worried about Marlene's own life, but after being tossed by Rod's punishment of "breaking illusions", the original serious air has long been gone.

"Really, why do I have two women around me who have this kind of problem? If you don't die, you won't die, don't you all think that the route you took after making a stupid choice is not shameful enough? ”

Looking at the silent Marlene, Rhodes sighed, and then he glanced at Lijie and Anne not far away. Feeling Rod's gaze, Lijie lowered her head with a flushed face. Lust for virgins, prison of mad love, this is the black history of her life, if it weren't for those two cards, maybe Lijie would still be able to treat everything as a nightmare, forcing herself to brainwash and forget all this. But after Rhodes got those two summoning cards, Lijie probably won't be able to escape this nightmare for the rest of her life.........

On the contrary, Anne met Rod's gaze generously, and even showed a bright smile, so she ran and trotted all the way, and then hugged Rod's arm, raised her head proudly, and looked at Rod in front of her as if she was invited.

"That's right, Anne has never hidden anything from the head of the group, as long as the head of the group wants to know something, Anne will tell the head of the group?" As she spoke, Anne puffed out her chest triumphantly, and her two emerald green eyes looked at the other two as if announcing something. And I don't know what Lu Dao is about, feeling Annie's gaze, Lijie and Marlene, who were still looking down and reflecting, raised their heads and began to make "eye contact" with Annie as if they had formed some alliance in an instant. In just a split second, the temperature that was supposed to be suitable dropped below zero in an instant. But soon, the germ of this harem fire was quickly and completely stifled by Rhodes.

"You haven't suffered less, don't forget the scar and forget the pain."

Rod knocked Anne on the forehead hard, interrupting her triumphant speech. Speaking of which, the first of these three people to have an accident is not Anne. At the beginning, she hid herself to take the mixture, and almost became a waste, if it weren't for the luck of awakening successfully, the current Anne may have become a mascot who lies in bed all day and sells cuteness. But if you think about it, these three people really don't have a long memory at all......... It doesn't seem right to say that, when Anne had an accident, only Lijie was by her side. And Marlene didn't come with her when Lijie had an accident. As for Lijie herself. Naturally, I won't talk much about that shameful experience. Even after that, for more than half a month, just seeing Anne would involuntarily panic, she couldn't tell Marlene everything that happened at that time, even if Marlene was her closest friend, I'm afraid Lijie wouldn't be able to confess to her that she had split a shameful history of a Shake S and a Shake M personality.

Sure enough, the lack of information will still bring a lot of tragedy? But if you think about it, even on Earth, where technology has reached the point where you can video chat all the time, there are many brothers and sisters who have broken up due to various misunderstandings - no, couples. It seems that regardless of whether science and technology are advanced or not, the spiritual communication between people is the most important issue.

Okay, the punishment time is over, and the next thing is to get down to business.

"Although I don't know how you know Lu Dao Luo, this is indeed the truth."

After the "punishment", although Marlene no longer looks like "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell" like before, her expression is still not very good. But it's no wonder. As a member of the Shania family, she knows better than anyone who she is and what it means.

"Indeed, as Rhodes said, I am the vessel of the Lord........."

As she spoke, Marlene reached out and pressed her chest down.

"The fact that I possess the attributes of the four elements is proof that it is impossible for an ordinary mage to have an ability like mine, and it can even be said that since he is a human being. Then this cannot be the case. Only beings beyond mortals can do this, and that's why I'm going to be the most important member of the Shania family. And follow the reasons that fate leads to the reasons that come to your side. And......... My father did tell me that he needed my blood and soul as a sacrifice to break the seal of the fire. Because according to the surviving historical records of the Shania family, when the fire was sealed, the ancestor used the double soul resonance to seal the soul of the adult in the fire. ”

So that's it.........

Hearing Marlene's explanation, Rod raised his eyebrows, and that's it. I was able to answer my doubts. Twin Soul Resonance may seem like a very mysterious method to the aborigines, but it can't be worse in the eyes of the player. It can even be said that the basic bloodline is a bit historical, and the family that has suffered a catastrophe will do this trick. To put it bluntly, there has been a very, very powerful figure in the history of these families. He wields a very, very powerful weapon. Then he was targeted because of the big tree and other reasons, so he gave himself a chance to shout "Solomon, I'm back!" I vomited out all the things I ate at the beginning! "In such cases, they will use the spell [Twin Soul Resonance] when they are cornered. This spell is actually a forced seal, which seals the core soul part of the caster itself. After the seal is cast, it is almost impossible to forcibly break or destroy the seal. Then it's all up to luck, if you're lucky, then after dozens or hundreds of years, a "reborn" like Marlene who is lucky or unfortunate enough to have the same appearance, the same bloodline, the same strength and even the same fingerprints as the ancestors can be qualified to pass the test and finally lift the seal. In order to gain the equipment, knowledge, and strength of the ancestors, or simply become a sacrifice for the resurrection of the ancestors——— Labis belongs to the former, and Marlene is obviously very unfortunate to belong to the latter.

If this is the case, then the contradiction between the game and the current reality can be explained. Obviously, after the Battle of Golden City, with the death of Marlene, the Shania clan was completely wiped out, and the [Twin Soul Seal], which is somewhat similar to a long-distance spiritual connection, requires bloodline support. Once all of them are dead, and there is no basis for the reappearance of the bloodline, then the seal that exists on top of it will naturally collapse. This may be the reason why Rhodes was able to light the fire at that time, as for the woman who was like Marlene, maybe she was completely melted by the flame of order at the same time as the seal disappeared to the point that there was no scum left.

But now, since Marlene is not dead. The Shania family has not perished, so it is impossible for the seal to be lifted automatically. In order to break the seal, Rhodes would have to kill all the members of the Shania family and Marlene——— which is pointless and has no possibility of practice.

Could it be that Marlene is still going to be sacrificed in the end?

But............... Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but think of what Cristie Torlastie had told him before. According to her words, the importance of the girl to Marlene was different from that of Christie and her. At this moment, after listening to Marlene's words, Rhodes suddenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong in it.

That's right, according to the master-slave relationship, Christie is the bust of another Christie, so if you look at it this way, you should put Marlene in Christie's position. But "the other Christie" puts Marlene in "her" place, that is, Marlene is the master, and the girl is from? But I didn't know anything about this from the girl before. And.........

"Marlene, do you have anything else to hide from me?"

"No, absolutely not, Rod."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Marlene hurriedly replied, and at the same time she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block behind her.

Well, it seems, Marlene doesn't seem to know anything about it either. That being the case. I'm afraid there's only one option.

Thinking of this, Rod raised his head. Quietly looking at Marlene.

"Marlene, would you like to be with me forever if you could?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Marlene was stunned for a moment, she glanced at Lijie and Anne next to her with a slightly red face, and then nodded.

"Of course. Rod......... If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to, but it was my destiny. ”

"You're not dead yet, don't say so sure."

Rod waved his hand. Interrupted Marlene. Then he made a speech that surprised Marlene.

"And, while I can't guarantee a success rate, I do have a way to help you with this."

"Is this true? Rod? ”

Hearing Rod's words, Marlene's eyes suddenly brightened, even if she was fully conscious, but Marlene was just a flower girl after all, unless she was completely a robot, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to voluntarily die. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, she is not willing to give up.

"So didn't I tell you a long time ago, if you have any problems, don't think about solving them by yourself, are you treating me like a fool who doesn't understand anything? If I had known the Tao earlier, maybe I would have been more prepared, but right now, I'm afraid I can't guarantee you the success rate. ”

Saying this, Rod raised his head and looked at Marlene quietly.

"But on the other hand, I'm afraid you'll have to give up something."

“…………… No problem, Rod. ”

Hearing this, Marlene nodded without hesitation.

"No matter what the outcome is, I will believe you, and this time, I will not hide anything from you."

"Good."

After getting Marlene's answer, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly.

"So let's solve the problem at hand."

After that, Rhodes briefly explained to the three of them where they were and what they were going to face next. The Wheel of Fortune, the Mirror of Fate, as long as you can defeat their Mirror Image, then you are eligible to enter the core area of the Tinder and seal it. But...............

"Commander, according to what you said, although the other Anne is Anne, she is not necessarily a shield warrior?"

Anne followed behind Rhodes, curiously surveying the hallway in front of her as she spoke. After passing through the dark corridor before, the four of them entered a bright and dazzling space, surrounded by glittering mirrors everywhere, and when they turned their heads, they could see countless of themselves stretching all the way through the infinite mirror space, and even just looking at it made people feel dazzled.

"That's right, the mirror image of fate is another projection of you in countless worlds, although they look the same as you, but they may live a completely different life, maybe happier, maybe more cruel, maybe more crazy. Therefore, the choices they make in their fate may be completely different from those of you. Maybe Marlene would become a swordsman, and Lizzie might be a mage or a thief. While they may be similar in strength to yours, they pose different threats because of the different skills they use. So don't be careless, especially for Marlene and Lijie as spellcasters, the Wheel of Fortune isolates all elements of spellcasting, whether it's my summoning cards or your spells and psychics, so protecting yourself comes first, understand? ”

"That......... Rod? ”

Hearing this, Marlene, who was silent next to her, spoke a little unconvinced at this time.

“……… If, as you say, the strength of my Destiny Mirror Mirror itself is about the same as my current level, then ......... Can I go up and give it a try? ”

"As I said earlier, the wheel of fortune is cut off from the power of the soul, and you can't use spells."

Hearing Marlene's inquiry, Rhodes couldn't help frowning, then turned to look at Marlene. Marlene hesitated, then pulled open her robe and drew a thin sword from her waist.

"That's right, in the Fortress before, Miss Canary once taught me some of her original swordsmanship......... According to Miss Canary's instructions, my current level of swordsmanship and my spell casting level ......... It's pretty much the same, if you can..............."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Rod couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time, Lijie, who was next to him, also raised her hand timidly.

"Me too, Mr. Rhodes......... Miss Bubbles had taught me a few martial arts before, this ......... I'm not as skilled as Marlene, but at least I think it's a ......... compared to my current spellcasting level. The gap is still not big. ”

“……………………………”

Looking blankly at the two people in front of him, Rhodes sighed, and then he looked up, his godless eyes looking at the sky.

yes, how did he forget......... These three guys aren't players............... Native Perverted Deformity Skills and Talent Tree ...............

I can't afford to hurt it.........

PS: Next, it will be a battle of fate! Readers can guess what kind of profession the fate mirror of the four of them will be? (To be continued......)
