Chapter 628 Two Puppet Components (Third Update Asking for a Monthly Pass)
As the silver-gray long sword swayed slightly, Rhine suddenly flashed to the door that had not yet closed, leaving only a slowly disappearing phantom in place, and said amusefully and angrily: "Have you also encountered that monster that can truly disguise others?"
There was a little relaxation in his tone, as if confirming that Lucian was real.
Lucian looked at him vigilantly, and after re-blessing the mechanized mind and mind barrier, he was still rational and calm, and did not really attack directly: "Mr. Rhine, how can I be sure that you are real?"
At least you have to come up with irrefutable facts, otherwise it is better for everyone to go their separate ways.
Rhine pulled the door, preventing it from closing, and said with a smile: "I understand that breath, bloodline, body, memory, etc. cannot tell whether it is a monster disguised as a monster, and I have been injured by it before, but one thing, I believe that unless the monster is the God of Truth, it will never be able to simulate."
"What is it?" Lucian vaguely guessed Rhein's answer.
A pair of huge bat wings emerged from behind the red coat of the Rhine, and a faint silver-white moonlight lit up, and a condescending and transcendent god-like aura descended, making it seem as if a real silver moon was rising in the gray hall: "It's the aura of the ancestor, that monster definitely can't disguise itself as a god-like aura, and the intertwined aura of your left hand makes me understand that you are not fake."
Feeling the familiar aura of Etna, Lucian exhaled lightly, revealing the remaining aura of the silver moon and the mysterious existence of the necromancer world in his left hand without reservation: "Okay, I believe you are Mr. Rhine, if the monster can simulate the aura of a god, then I can't escape even if I am not deceived."
Rhine coughed twice, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, although vomiting blood was a very serious injury for a vampire, but he smiled indifferently: "Caution is a normal choice, I was just careless."
"The monster I encountered was disguised as you, what did you encounter?" Lucian put away the sword of truth, but did not put down the shield of truth, and remained on guard.
Rhine coughed twice again: "It disguises itself as another prince of the vampires, the one with whom I have a good relationship."
"Oh, it seems that monsters can not only disguise themselves as beings in the 'gray maze', but also simulate other strong people." Lucian said suspiciously, what principle is this based on?
"Gray Labyrinth" is Lucian's name for the gray hall with a black gate.
"Gray maze? Hehe, this place is called 'The World of Doors', at least that's what the legendary magicians who once disappeared here call it." Rhine corrected Lucian's naming, "I suspect that this 'world of doors' is weird, maybe our memories cannot be kept secret here, so the monster disguised him based on my memories."
Memories cannot be kept secret, so what about my secret from Earth? What about the Soul Library? Lucian frowned and thought about this serious question, will he see that monster simulate Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Supreme Laojun, Gundam, Super Saiyan, Star Destroyer, and Retreat Cannon?
It was a wonderful world......
"The world of doors? Mr. Rhein, did you find what Viken and the others left behind?" Unable to discuss the matter of the Soul Library with Rhein, Lucian turned to another point.
Rhine shook his head: "I came here by tracking the mysterious fragments in Tsarde's body, and only found a few pieces of shredded paper before the attack, with some records on them."
He didn't hide anything, and took out a few pieces of gray paper and "flew" to Lucian.
Carefully caught with the "mage's hand", Lucian hurriedly skimmed through:
「…… There are countless black gates here, and behind each door may be a surprise, and of course, it can be dangerous, so we named it 'World of Doors'......"
「…… We stumbled upon some strange creatures after a few doors, which seemed to have similarities with our previous research, and if we hadn't had some research results, we might never have discovered them......"
「…… Maybe we can find a way to get there by studying these creatures......"
「…… It seems like someone has been here before......"
The handwriting on two of the papers is familiar to Lucian, one is from McLeod he saw just now, and the other is from the "Prophet" Maskelin.
"Strange creatures, are there many monsters?" Lucian said with a numb scalp, secretly pondering the contents of the last piece of shredded paper in his heart, has anyone ever come in? Before Muskiling and the others?
Rhine closed the black door, took out a white handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "Impossible, if there are many monsters, how can Maskelin and the others have a chance to find them, and they can take notes so easily."
He meant that Maskilin and the others should have been wiped out not long after they came in, after all, their strength was not as good as that of him who could summon the silver moon to descend, and there were a large number of them, so it was very easy to give good disguise monsters a chance.
"That's right, even Mr. Rhein was seriously injured by a sneak attack." Lucian nodded lightly, "By the way, Mr. Rhine, what level of strength is the monster you encountered?"
Rhine folded the handkerchief and put it in his coat pocket: "The peak of legends, the real peak of legends, I summoned the power of the ancestor to repel it, but if I hadn't been careless, I wouldn't have been able to defeat it, I would have escaped."
After a pause, he smiled and said humorously: "I am a legendary third-order man."
"Why are the monsters I encountered only legendary second-order?" Lucian was quite puzzled by this, "Are we encountering different monsters?"
"If they are different monsters, why do they all happen to be one level higher than our own strength?" Rhine was keenly aware of the suspicion, "Except for the ability to summon the ancestor, I am a legendary third-order, and without the equipment improvement, you should only be at the level of legendary first-order, right?"
Being here, he didn't know the time comparison with the outside world, so he wasn't sure if Lucian, a "monster" with an unimaginable speed of advancement, had already been promoted to the second rank of legend.
Lucian had that strange sense of familiarity again, this situation seemed to have been encountered somewhere, but he couldn't find an encounter that met the conditions, so he could only ponder: "Yes, legendary first-order. Maybe due to some special restrictions, monsters can only exert strength one level higher than the target?"
"It's possible." With his usual smile, Rhine seemed to encourage Lucian to continue guessing.
Lucian suddenly had an idea, and looked at Rhine with a smile: "Mr. Rhine, if this inference is true, do you think that when the two of us act together, will we encounter one monster or two monsters, will it be the strength of the second order of the legend, or the level of the peak of the legend?"
"It should be a legendary monster." Rhine thought for a moment and replied.
Lucian "coldly" turned his face away: "Then let's go separately."
"I'm sorry, I will always happen to be on the same road with you." Rhein replied humorously, "And an experienced observer who knows the secrets is of great use here, besides, it was just speculation just now."
Lucian smiled and said: "I'm also worried that I will encounter monsters at the peak of legends when I act alone, so it's better to have Mr. Rhine on your back, I don't think there should be god-like monsters...... Well, Mr. Rhine, I don't plan to continue exploring, I'm going to return, it's not far from the entrance, it's just a dozen black doors, do you want to be with me?"
"I was seriously injured and obviously not fit to stay any longer." Rhein took out a light green puppet arm, "Fortunately, I met you who knows the law of coordinate changes, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to figure it out, this is a reward paid in advance.
Observing the environment and summarizing the rules is the strength of magicians, and the arcanists among magicians are particularly good at it, and Rhein himself is very self-aware.
Lucian's face suddenly turned green, and he became wary again: "Mr. Rhine, put the puppet's arm on the ground."
"What's wrong? You were just deceived by the puppet arm?" Rhine smiled happily and threw the puppet's arm to the ground indifferently, watching Lucian pick it up with the "mage's hand".
After getting it in his hand, Lucian recognized that it was the other arm of the puppet, which happened to be a set.
Relaxing slightly, Lucian pushed open the black door behind him, and what appeared in front of him was a familiar gray hall with silver-white magic pattern remnants on the ground.
"No, it's not the previous one." Lucian quickly distinguished that this complex magic pattern as a whole was another part of the hexagram.
"Hey, shredded paper?" Rhine also found a light gray fragment and showed it directly to Lucian:
"No"!
This is similar to the previous fragment with the word "devil" written on it, exuding a hysterical madness and horror, and Lucian finds the puppet's right leg while remembering the complex magic patterns.
Lucian, who collected the three parts of the puppet, was not happy, but said very puzzled and solemn: "Why are these fragments and puppet components waiting for us to discover?"
"There are too many halls in the world of doors, and monsters may not be able to find them all." Rhein speculated on the possibility.
Lucian shook his head: "Then why can it find us accurately?"
…………
In the gray hall, Douglas and Fernando, surrounded by countless guard magic, walked steadily through it.
"There is nothing else here except the hall and the black door?" Fernando looked around, didn't he even see dangers and monsters? That is even more vigilant, this is the deepest part of the necromancer world, the place where many legendary magicians have disappeared!
Douglas looked around: "The location changes quickly, but it is in line with the coordinate change law left by Muskilin, but in this way, it will be difficult to meet Lucian, we can only make memorization along the way, let him find out and go out on his own, and leave us the same memorization."
"He must have been hiding nearby for a while before returning to the entrance, and we just need to calculate the time." After Fernando noticed that the location of the hall was changing quickly, he vaguely guessed his students' plans.
As he spoke, he used his magic to open a black door.
…………
"Life breath induction?" Rhein speculated again.
Before the words fell, the two of them raised their heads at the same time, looking at a black gate guardedly, which was slowly opening.
Send it in the middle of the night, ask for double monthly passes, ask for recommended tickets and wait for others~
