Infinite Anecdotes

"Then why is there a trial, or what is the purpose of the trial?"

"That's what I want to know too." Roswaal shrugged his shoulders, and looked at Tang Cheng with his unique yellow eyes on the left and blue on the right: "But since we can get in touch with the master, maybe we can communicate further, so we can Doubts cleared."

"Are you trying to say you're counting on me?"

"Of course, although it's impolite, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass this trial relying on Lord Emilia. We need to learn from the teacher as soon as possible what happened in the sanctuary, as well as the dragon slayer..."

"No, I believe in Leah." Tang Cheng interrupted Roswaal's passionate words. After 400 years, he was so close to his goal for the first time, how could he not be excited.

But Tang Cheng's words immediately gave Roswaal a blow, more like pouring a basin of cold water.

"What?" He raised his eyebrows, puzzled.

"I think Leah can pass the test of the sanctuary, so there is no need to do extra things."

"Impossible." Roswaal said with certainty.

"Why?" Tang Cheng asked in astonishment, "She hasn't even tried it yet."

"Because I have a gospel book that can see the future." Roswaal took out an ancient black-skinned document from his body, carefully holding it in his arms and rubbing it, his eyes full of dependence and piety: " This book is an important gift from the teacher. It records your arrival, and it also records the failure of Lady Emilia. My teacher also has a copy of the same thing, because she It is not a coincidence that I met you because I foresaw your identity!"

Roswaal said paranoidly.

This person's personality and spirit have been distorted, Tang Cheng thought, but this may just provide him with an opportunity.

He looked at Roswaal and the Gospel in his hand and said, "But I still think I'm right, so how about some bets?"

"It's really good." Roswaal laughed heartily.

"No, it's nothing, I just remembered that there was indeed a similar gamble in the past, um, that's right, so be it, if Lady Emilia passes the test, I will let you handle it..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in men."

"That's right, that's a pity." Roswaal was still joking with interest at this time, and it seemed that he really felt that he was invincible in this gamble: "What I mean is that you can let me act according to your wishes, even if I am serious It doesn't matter if you help Lady Emilia, because you seem to really like her."

"That is to say, you kept a hand on purpose before?"

Roswaal smiled without saying a word, and gave Tang Cheng a look that why do you know why you are asking.

"Then what if I lose."

"Help me slay the dragon." Roswaal spread his hands, "It's that simple."

Tang Cheng nodded: "No problem."

"Very good." Roswaal stroked the ring in his hand, causing the ring to emit a faint glow, and he continued, "Let us swear each other with our souls."

Tang Cheng said it doesn't matter.

Because almost that night, when the sanctuary opened, Emilia easily passed the test.

However, there have been a few small problems-

Emilia was restored by the memory modified by the Witch of Disguise more than 90 years ago.

The spirit contract between Parker and Emilia was broken.

Echidna, the witch of lust, has disappeared.

They only found a female body in the depths of the tomb, just as Roswaal described, a woman with golden hair who gave people a gentle and kind feeling.Her body was stored in a crystal coffin for immortality, and even her appearance didn't change at all, as if she just fell asleep quietly.

Tang Cheng once thought that it was just Roswaal's confused memory, but it was once again confirmed by Beatrice.

"Mom is a very gentle person." Beatrice said sadly looking at the figure in the coffin.

There was only one question in Tang Cheng's mind, if the woman Roswaal and Beatrice were talking about was the lust witch, then who was the woman he met in the City of Dreams.

There was only one message that Tang Cheng could hear——

"There is still something to do, I will come to you soon, don't read it. 』

199．Maid's Afternoon

There are three trials in the sanctuary.

They are "first face your past", "look at the impossible present" and "face the disaster that will come one day".

In fact, Echidna, who reached an agreement with Tang Cheng, released water for Emilia's trial. Although she didn't like this silver-haired half-elf, just like her biological mother, she continued to struggle with this. The frozen past is meaningless, it's time to look forward to the future.

Therefore, she didn't mean to deliberately make things difficult for Emilia, but just acted conveniently in accordance with the established regulations.

I don't know if this is a kind of luck, because Emilia, who has shown her heart to Tang Cheng in the past, is now supported by her beloved, even when faced with the sad memories of the past, she is no longer as sad as in the past Desperate.

The trial of the sanctuary brought her back more than 90 years ago, the day when the false witch and the priest of lust led the witch congregation and the black snake to attack the entire elf village.

Many things were frozen on this day, including Emilia's time, which was frozen for 90 years.

Today's Emilia, when facing this scarred memory again, will no longer cry helplessly like herself when she was a child, but there is still a troublesome part, that is, Parker and Ai Miria's contract restricts her from recalling her true memories.

As long as this contract exists, the hints that the pretense made to Emilia will not disappear, and Emilia has always believed that her rampage killed all the villagers, and thus fell into endless self-blame and conflict. I can't extricate myself from regret, and I can't pass the trial.

After all, the purpose of this trial is to get closer to your past, to look directly at what you regret and move on beyond it.If all you see are false memories, and you can't even know the truth, then there is no way to talk about the breakthrough trial.

In the end, it was Parker, the cat elf, who took the initiative to cancel the contract, and restored Emilia's memory that had been modified by the pretense, allowing her to pass the test.In the next two levels, because of Echidna's release of water and the laziness of the examiner she handed over to the lazy witch, Emilia easily broke through. After that, the sanctuary was liberated, and the host Echidna, who was in the City of Dreams, also borrowed a copy of Lutz and left here.

Although the liberation of the sanctuary is a joyful thing, for Emilia, the loss of Parker, a father-like protector, is still a sad thing for her, so she stayed in the hospital for several days. The room was gloomy.

As for Tang Cheng, since he had nothing to do, he could only chat with the maids of the Roswaal family.
