Chapter 668: Tangled
'Damn, I knew something was wrong!' Alfie roared inside Koco after listening to Tenael's story. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to reveal the secret between him and Koco, Alfie really wanted to question Tenaier directly.
"Aunt Tenelle, since you know you've made a mistake, why didn't you settle this problem sooner?" Coco asked cowardly, already trying to express Alfie's meaning as tactfully as possible, and Alfie's telepathic words were much more intense.
According to Alfie, Tenay should be responsible for her mistakes and let them pass this level directly, even if the content of this level is reset, at least they don't have to face the trial space that is not part of the content of the level!
"That's what I found out when I got into this control room. Tenaire pointed to a light board on the operating table in front of him, on which a bunch of words were densely written, "I just sensed that you were in danger before, so I hurried to this space. I didn't expect to be teleported here as soon as I entered, and through the words on the light board, I realized what a serious mistake I had made. ”
Tenael began to play the family card, and her self-esteem did not allow her to bow her head, after all, her original purpose was very simple, it was all about getting Koko to advance as soon as possible.
"Isn't it okay to stop the test?" asked Koco anxiously. There was no doubt that he had been influenced by Alfie, who was already mad, and his tone was questioning.
"This ......" Tenelle's face was full of hesitation, and she glanced again at the bright board that Koko and Alfie couldn't see, and the big striking words on the last line: "You really entered here, so if you want to regain your freedom, you must help to control it!"
It was this line of warnings and seductiveness that made Tenell hesitate to respond to Coco with no certainty. She hadn't yet understood what the sentence was trying to mean.
Is it that Alfie and the others are upright and rely on their own strength to break through the real game, so will she break the seal and gain real freedom? Or is it like the previous level, it is also possible to secretly release water? To what extent do you want to help control the level? This heat is really difficult to grasp.
Freedom was so important to Tenel that she had been dormant for more than two thousand years in waiting for that day. If it weren't for the fact that this choice was too difficult, Tenay would have let them pass as early as the moment Koko got a breakthrough, after all, her goal had been achieved, Koko had successfully advanced to the Holy Realm, and what did it matter to her whether the other two trialists could advance or not.
What made Tennell haunt was that if she let Koko and them get through, but lost the chance to regain her freedom because of it, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life. After all, when that guy traded with her, he made it very clear that she only had one chance to break the seal of the dragon and gain true freedom. No matter how selfless Tenell is, she can't give up her freedom for the sake of Coco and the others.
If only the bard were there, at least he could help me see what that meant. Tenel thought with regret. Regardless of Alfie's personal strength, Tenaire still recognizes the brains he shows during his adventures. It's a pity that she doesn't know that Alfie has always been with Koko, otherwise she wouldn't be so entangled.
"Still can't do it?" said Koco disappointedly, he could see Tenelle's hesitation, proving that Alfie's guess was correct, and Tenel could have let them through.
“...... I'm so sorry. Tenelle looked at a red button next to the light board, and the hint on the light board was also clear, and she could press the button to end the real game. Although she was almost obedient to Koco, she still didn't have the courage to gamble, and the more than 2,000-year-old seal seemed to make her timid.
Tenelle decided to take another look, perhaps her chance to break the seal had not yet appeared, after all, both the real game and the trial space were now in a delicate balance.
"......" Koco opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound. Alfie tried his best to encourage him and Tenelle to argue with reason through telepathy, and Koco could see Tenel's hesitation, Alfie couldn't see it for no reason, and for the grasp of people's hearts, Alfie undoubtedly belonged to the grandmaster level.
Alfie telepathically poured what he wanted to say to Tenaier to Coco. Perhaps Alfie was a little too excited, so her words were extremely intense, but Koco didn't want to relay these words to Tenael.
Seeing that he had worked hard for a long time and just talked in vain, Alfie was also a little angry for a while, but unfortunately Alfie couldn't directly control Koko's mouth, otherwise he would have rolled up his sleeves and went on his own.
"Wait and see, if your buddies are in danger, I'll consider stopping the real game. Seeing the entanglement on Koco's face, Tenaire couldn't bear it, and made such a promise against his will.
"Really, thank you so much, Aunt Teneel!" After Teneel made a concession, Koko completely misunderstood the reason for her struggle, and Koko thought that Tener was afraid of wasting the opportunity for Hayata and Rebecca to advance, after all, before he entered the trial space, Tener repeatedly emphasized to him that this kind of trial opportunity was very valuable.
Thinking of this, Koko's cute big eyes flashed with heartfelt gratitude, which made Teneel look dizzy for a while, if only Koco really were his own heir. More than 2,000 years of sealing time had made Tenelle's heart almost lost, unconsciously filled with an emotion called love that should not have appeared in her.
Alfie also looked at this unexpected result dumbfounded, what is this? Is a fool a fool a fool? He prepared so many arguments that he was not sure to convince Tenell, but he didn't expect Coco to say a word, just by selling cuteness and pretending to be pitiful, Teneel could make concessions.
"You hurry up and take this opportunity to stabilize the realm, I don't want you to fall down the holy level again because of the instability of the realm, then you will lose all the people of your clan!" Tenelle admonished.
After promising to make concessions, Tenelle felt a wave of upset for no apparent reason, as if something was not quite right, but she could not say where the error came from, and this feeling made her extremely irritated.
"Aunt Tenael, the seal on your wing—" Coco exclaimed as he suddenly pointed to the dragon seal on Tenel's flesh wing.
The original black and white seal was filled with a strange blood-colored light for some reason, and in the dense blood, the black dragon sealed by the magic array seemed to suddenly have life and began to move.
What struck Coco most strangely was that if he hadn't reminded him out loud, Ternair wouldn't have known anything about it.
"This—This is—" Tenael looked at the dragon seal that had suddenly changed, and for a moment she didn't know whether it was good or bad, and the flesh wings were obviously growing on her body, but at this time, it seemed that they didn't belong to her, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't control it.
At this moment, a long dragon groan came faintly, and the entire trial space seemed to tremble with this dragon groan.
