Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

"Edas, you really should wake up. The Church is not worth your persistent protection."

Diogakas sighed helplessly. The guy in front of him was one of the few good people in the Temple Army. He was very friendly to civilians and had strong combat power. He could be regarded as a signature figure of the Temple Army.

But the problem was that this guy was a fool. Simply put, he regarded every word of the Church as the supreme criterion. This kind of blind loyalty made Diogakas feel helpless.

Once upon a time, Edas's sister Pepetta could still admonish him on certain things, so that his behavior would be restrained.

However, some people in the Temple Army reported this situation to the Church.

After the Church learned about it, it sealed the holy seal on Pepetta and sent an elite team to surround and kill her.

Originally thought that doing so would make Edas obedient, but unexpectedly this stubborn guy always insisted that Pepetta was not dead.

The most frightening thing is that this guy's faith seems to have been blessed by miracles.

During the battle, it is said that many people from the Templars saw the figure of Pepetta circling around Edas.

The members of the team that participated in the siege of Pepetta were all elite members of the Templars. When they learned that Pepetta might be resurrected by some unknown miracle, fear made three of them hide in the room and never dared to come out again.

The other two members with deep backgrounds were taken back to the Holy See. They firmly believed that under the protection of many bishops in the Holy See, Pepetta's soul could not stir up any waves.

"Nonsense! If there were no protection from the Holy See, the world would have fallen into chaos long ago." Edas retorted angrily. His emotions were instantly ignited by Diogakas' words, and he hit the ground heavily with a hammer.

With this fierce blow, blue electric currents splashed wildly in the direction of the hammer, and the air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of ozone, which was produced by the violent burning of the arc in the air.

Diogakas took a deep breath. He knew that the argument with Edas would not produce any results, but he still tried to guide this stubborn guy.

"Go along this road, and you will see a cave at the end. There are things we need in it."

After that, Diogakas rushed towards Edas with a sword.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Edas. It was a woman, but her figure seemed a little illusory.

She was wearing a red felt cloth and holding a snake-shaped sword. She fought side by side with Edas and fought against Diogakas together.

This red felt cloth was called "Word of Edict". After being soaked in special medicines and holy water for a long time, it was given the magical effect of resisting the plague.

This is also an important prop for the members of the Temple Army to walk freely on the vast land without worrying about the invasion of the plague.

The materials used to make holy water are extremely rare. For ordinary people, if they want to obtain this precious holy water, they must pay a very high price.

The small bottle of holy water they received from the priest had been diluted and was only enough for one person.

If they tried to dilute it again to treat more people, not only would the plague not be cured, but the condition would be sharply worsened.

Although it was one against two, Diogakas did not fall into a disadvantage.

Seeing that Diogakas could hold on, Lin Yi confidently carried the black and white rose and moved forward quickly, passing the believers who were wailing in pain on both sides and heading straight for the target.

About five minutes later, he arrived near the cave mentioned by Diogakas.

The cave was very dark, and even with Lin Yi's vision, he could not see what was deep in the cave.

Lin Yi came to the cave and found a very old mechanical elevator inside, with a lever on the side for control.

Lin Yi walked up to the elevator and decisively pulled the lever. With a creaking sound, Lin Yi's figure slowly sank into the ground.

About a minute later, Lin Yi finally came to the underground.

Here, Lin Yi saw several tattered and incomplete ships, which seemed to be stranded and thrown in a mess deep in the cave.

Lin Yi squatted on the ground and touched it, and found that this should have been an ancient river channel, but as time went by, the groundwater changed its flow, and the river channel here was also abandoned.

Lin Yi walked forward along the river channel and suddenly felt something rushing over his head.

Lin Yi did not hesitate, raised his hand and pierced the attacking creature with a sword.

When he raised his wrist, he found that it was a strange head.

The shape of this head was extremely strange, with wings growing on both sides of the neck, and the mouth was wide open, revealing fine and sharp teeth inside.

If you are accidentally bitten by this holy head, the consequences are not as simple as getting a tetanus vaccine, but you have to seriously consider whether a large piece of meat will be lost.

Lin Yi took out the transmitter, and as three flares cut through the darkness, a densely packed head appeared on the top of the cave in front.

The habits of these monsters are somewhat similar to those of bats. They hang quietly on the top of the cave. Even if Lin Yi's flares fly quickly from below, they fail to cause any reaction.

Seeing this, Lin Yi took out two special radios from his personal space.

These two radios recorded extremely low and extremely high audio frequencies respectively. For humans, these two audios are completely inaudible because their frequencies are far beyond the range of human hearing.

But for the monsters in the cave that hunt by sound, the situation is completely different.

They can detect these two audios with very different frequencies very sensitively.

As Lin Yi placed the two radios next to the loudspeaker, two invisible sound waves began to collide violently at the entrance of the cave. As time went on, these sound waves kept surging forward.

Almost in an instant, the monsters on the top of the entire cave rioted.

Under the attack of the two audio frequencies, these monsters seemed to be thrown into a high-speed crazy spinning washing machine. They couldn't even fly. They flapped their wings twice and fell heavily to the ground.

The most exaggerated thing is that as the audio continued to play, these monsters gradually fell into a state of extreme confusion.

They began to attack each other indiscriminately. In just one minute, half of the monsters in front of Lin Yi had died in the fight.

Ten minutes later, the remaining monsters were either torn to pieces by their companions or fell to the ground dying.

The monsters that were still alive were no longer able to attack Lin Yi.

Seeing this, Lin Yi continued to play the two audios, then stepped over the bodies of the monsters and continued to walk forward.

About five minutes later, Lin Yi walked to the end of the cave, and he found a broken bridge in front of him, about 30 meters away from him.

Lin Yi estimated it and shook his head helplessly.

If it was 20 meters, he might be able to try to jump over it with a run-up, but the span of 30 meters was indeed a bit difficult for him.

Just as Lin Yi was about to find other ways to cross the broken bridge, suddenly, a faint woman's voice quietly sounded in his ears: "Come over quickly."

The voice was extremely weak, but it was clearly transmitted to Lin Yi's ears.

He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but there was nothing around except darkness and the broken bridge.

Just as he was full of doubts, a ball of blood slowly emerged from the void and floated on the broken bridge.

This ball of blood was like a winding blood-red river, starting from Lin Yi's feet and slowly spreading to the other end of the broken bridge.

In the darkness, the blood emitted a faint and dim red light, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.

Lin Yi did not step on the road made of blood rashly.

He bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it on the blood road very carefully.

The stone went straight through the blood, as if it had passed through a layer of illusory phantom, and then fell into the endless abyss and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi became more careful.

He hung a safety rope and tied it to the stone pillar. If the blood road suddenly disappeared, the safety rope would be able to save him from falling into the abyss.

Seeing this, Lin Yi tried to step one foot on the blood road.

Unexpectedly, this road made of blood was very stable and solid. The feeling of walking on it was no different from that of a normal road, and there was no sticky and slippery feeling under his feet.

When Lin Yi walked halfway along the bloody road, he suddenly felt the blood behind him start to tremble violently, as if he was about to fall.

His heart tightened, and he instantly quickened his pace and began to run wildly.

At the critical moment, Lin Yi finally successfully reached the other side before the blood fell into the abyss.

Although the road he came from was broken, Lin Yi didn't care.

He hung the rope around his waist on a stone pillar on the side, so that when he returned later, he could climb back directly along the rope.

After crossing the broken bridge, Lin Yi found himself in another deep and dark cave. Compared with the previous cave, this cave was scattered with more and more shipwrecks on both sides.

Unlike the previous fishing boats, now even some small sailboats can be seen.

Finally, Lin Yi came to the end of the cave.

Here, Lin Yi saw a statue, which stood quietly above a solemn and solemn coffin.

The statue was a striking red, and seemed to be carefully carved from some very special ore.

From a distance, the surface of the ore seemed to be still flowing with liquid, making the statue look like a lifelike corpse.

Lin Yi lit the two candles in front of him. As the candlelight lit up, Lin Yi suddenly found that the chill around him was dispelled a lot.

A golden figure appeared in front of Lin Yi.

The figure in front of him was exactly the same as the figure summoned by Edas before, the only difference was that the expression of the woman in front of him was a little more sad.

"It was Diogacus who guided me here." Lin Yi said bluntly, staring at the woman in front of him, "He told me that you have a way to stop Edas."

Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes.

Edas's name seemed to touch some memories deep in her heart.

"Is my brother still so stubborn?"

The woman in front of him was Edas's sister, Pepetta, who was assassinated by the Templar Army.

And now, her coffin was abandoned by the Templar Army in the desolate depths of the endless dusk.

The reason why the Church did this was simply because Edas was of great value to them, and they did not want Pepetta's death to affect his loyalty to the Church.

"Hey, please open the coffin in front of you."

Hearing Pepetta's voice, Lin Yi opened Pepetta's coffin.

After opening the coffin on top of Pepetta's coffin, a pungent smell came to his face.

It was the unpleasant smell of moisture mixed with rotting corpses. Lin Yi had been mentally prepared for this. The moisture inside the cave was obviously much thicker than the outside. The corpse would definitely not be preserved for long in this situation.

As the saying goes, "If it is dry for a thousand years, it will be wet for ten thousand years. If it is not dry or wet, it will only take half a year."

The cave happened to be in such a state of neither dry nor wet, so Peppetta's body rotted extremely quickly.

Lying in the coffin was a corpse wearing golden armor.

She held a snake-shaped sword tightly in her hand. The blade was extremely sharp and shone with an icy cold light.

Even in such a humid environment, it remains as bright as new.

"Please take my serpentine sword and shoulder armor, their brilliance will make my brother understand everything. When the time comes, my whisper will ring in his ears, and I will implore him to help you." Peppetta Her voice gradually became weaker and weaker, and as her words ended, her figure began to slowly disappear without a trace.

Peppetta has no connection with miracles, and can even be said to be the mortal enemy of miracles.

During her days in the Temple Army, she had rescued many enemies of the church, and therefore she had long become a thorn in the church's side and a thorn in its flesh.

If it were not for her brother Edas's face, she might have been sentenced to death for being a heretic.

As Peppetta's soul dissipated, the bones in her coffin also disappeared, leaving only a snake-shaped sword and a broken scapular that exuded holy light.

Lin Yi picked up this piece of scapular, and the holy aura he felt was much stronger than any holy statue he had seen before.

Picking up the snake-shaped sword, a series of messages appeared in Lin Yi's hand.

"I wish you a safe journey." Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, Peppetta's vague, ethereal and soft voice gently echoed in his ears.

Lin Yi stood up and closed the coffin for Peppetta. At the same time, he took out an incense burner and some tributes from his personal space and placed them neatly in front of the coffin.

After completing all this, Lin Yi quickly left the cave without staying any longer.

Since the obstacles he came from had been cleared, Lin Yi left the cave much faster than when he came in.

In just about ten minutes, he arrived near the elevator entrance.

When I got on the elevator and pulled the lever, the elevator started to crawl crookedly and wobblingly again.

Perhaps due to its age and disrepair, the elevator suddenly stalled as it approached its destination and seemed to be firmly stuck.

Fortunately, it's not far from the top, only about three meters high.

Lin Yi took two steps back calmly, and with the help of his running power, he jumped up and grabbed a raised stone next to him.

He climbed along the path and soon returned to the center of the cave.

When he came here, Lin Yi could faintly feel the ground shaking slightly, and there was a dull thunder outside.

When Lin Yi left the cave, he found that not far away, dark clouds gathered above the valley, and endless thunder and lightning struck Diogakas' body fiercely.

At this time, Eddas was like a supreme god who controlled thunder and lightning.

Above him, the illusion of Pepeta created by his prayers lingered, feinting and trying to distract the enemy.

Compared to the real Pepeta, the illusion created by Eddas appears lifeless and lifeless, lacking vitality and realism.

The real Peppetta gives people a feeling of compassion, and her demeanor and temperament reveal a deep compassion and warmth.

Although this miraculous creation looks exactly like Pepeta, it is like a soulless puppet, only mechanically executing Eddas's orders.

"Sister? My sister! Is it you?" Edas suddenly stopped attacking. He felt the breath of his sister Peppetta, put down the sledgehammer in his hand, and began to look around eagerly.

Although there was a "Pepetta" following him, everyone present knew that it was just a false illusion, a fake created by the power of miracles, lacking real life and emotions.

Edas followed the faint and familiar breath and finally landed on the snake-shaped sword in Lin Yi's hand.

That was the sword that Pepetta once wore.

"Brother."

"Sister! Where are you? Where are you!?"

Hearing Pepetta's voice, Edas's mind was like a wire that was bent to the extreme, and finally broke with a "click".

He threw away the sledgehammer in his hand, knelt on his knees, and kept scanning the air around him, with endless desire and expectation, hoping to find Pepetta's figure.

"Brother, you should know that I am no longer here." Pepetta's voice came from the shoulder armor in Lin Yi's hand, with a trace of sadness and helplessness.

Because her body had rotted and could no longer be the sustenance of her soul, she could only place her soul on this shoulder armor, bring it out through Lin Yi, and have the last conversation with Edas.

"Tell your brother who killed you, and your brother will definitely help you avenge." Edas's voice trembled, revealing deep grief and anger.

At this moment, he was in tears. To him, his sister Pepeta was everything and the most important person in his life.
