Goddess Wanhua Mirror

Because before Trin fully regained consciousness, both Eleven and Lacey hid in the pendant, and the three sisters also used their divine power to make themselves invisible, so Trin looked around blankly but only saw Lude alone, and the other party was covered in blood. It was clean, and there was not even a single dirty spot on the white robe.

Although Trin was a dude, this situation made him feel suspicious.

Then at this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound from the bushes around the two of them, as if some animal with many legs was approaching rapidly.Suddenly, a large group of giant centipedes sprang out from the forest, each of them was seven or eight meters long and half a meter wide. Their glowing giant jaws were like two sickles, snapping together.

These sudden appearance of monsters frightened Tring out of his wits, but Lude just patted Trin's shoulder and said in an unusually calm tone.

"Lie down and give these things to me."

As soon as Lu De finished speaking, a giant centipede with a huge body and a suspected leader of the group attacked first.Terin was so scared that he was about to run away, but Lude held him tightly with only one hand and couldn't move.Then Tring saw the big centipede that swooped up hit the invisible barrier, and was blocked less than one meter away from him. No matter how crazy it was biting, the barrier remained motionless.

At this time, Trin saw Lude raise a hand, a terrifying force powerful enough to suffocate him quickly gathered above them, forming a dazzling light ball like a small sun, and then Lude seemed With a random wave downward, the ball of light slammed into the ground, blasting the crowds of giant centipedes into dust in an instant.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Trin was stunned.The original suspicion of Lu De disappeared with the centipede with this astonishing blow.

End of this chapter

Because the fact that "the maze is my home" cannot be exposed in front of Trin, Lude can only take Trin back to the ground on foot.

And after seeing Master Lude's "true strength" with his own eyes, Trin was obviously much more peaceful than before.Lu De said that he would take him out of the maze first, and the other party immediately followed behind, fearing that he would be left behind.

Tring is a dude, but he is not a pure idiot. He knows in his heart that arrogance is to be divided into objects. He believes that the skulls will not be harder than those giant centipedes that were smashed to scum just now.Besides, this is a labyrinth of the abyss, a place that even top bosses like the old butler Sarkin find tricky, and Tring doesn't have the confidence to get out by himself.

As for why he broke into the maze alone and how he rescued Tring, Lude pretended to be mysterious and did not give any explanation. Trin saw that the boss did not open his mouth, so it was naturally very wise not to say anything, to say nothing dare not ask.

Different from the previous four-story maze, the fifth floor is an "open world". As long as Ludd and Trin look up, they can see a towering "Optimus Prime", where there are spiral stairs that can return to The fourth floor of the maze.

Along the way, Lude held his "Fire Qilin" priest's scepter, and the surface of the gun body radiated a fused golden light, which not only illuminated the way ahead, but also kept the terrifying creatures hiding in the shadows away.

Tring has seen this trick before. It is a low-level magic spell "Holy Light Dispel" that all priests will use. It can disperse evil spirits and wild beasts, and it can also have a deterrent effect on low-level monsters.However, the holy light of ordinary priests can only be dispelled for a few seconds, while Lude is an ever-burning lamp, highlighting a long-lasting one.

The two walked for nearly an hour, and successfully arrived at the bottom of the spiral staircase. Lude looked like a normal person, not blushing or panting, but Tring didn't have such good physical strength.His current body belongs to the necromancer Dick. The congenital disability is not only reflected in the ugly face, but also his physique is worse than that of ordinary people. It cannot be compared with Lu De who insists on pushing iron every day.

In addition, his body is still suffering from a debuff that is severe enough to be fatal, that is "hunger"!

Counting the days, Tring has been missing for nearly three months. During this period, both his soul and the body of the necromancer were preserved by the gray ball, and the two were forcibly combined together in a very mysterious way.

Lude can use divine magic to repair his fatally injured body, but he can only rely on bread to fill his stomach.

On the way before, Tring had been enduring all the time. He was obviously tired and hungry, but he didn't dare to mention it to Lude, but now he has really reached his limit, and he feels that he is extremely weak. You can faint in just one step, and the spiral staircase in front of you is hundreds of meters high, and you will feel a little dizzy just looking up.

"Big, master! Take a break, I really... have no energy."

"Well, then take a break."

Looking at Trin, who looked exhausted, Lude knew that he should be hungry and thirsty right now, so he took out a bottle of milky white medicine from his arms and handed it over.

"Here, you drink this, it can satisfy your hunger and thirst."

"what is this?"

"This is called the milk of stigmata, it's a good thing, drink it."

After taking the bottle handed by Lude, Tring opened it and smelled it. It was a very good smell of milk. He didn't doubt it. He drank it all in one gulp. Hunger and exhaustion disappeared almost instantly. Without a trace, Trin felt like he came alive all of a sudden.

The so-called "milk of the stigmata" is a name Luther made up on the spur of the moment. The thing he gave Tring to drink is actually his own "breakfast milk" on weekdays. It is essentially sweet milk blessed with divine power. When he is too busy at work and too lazy to eat, he will drink a bottle of emergency.

Trin didn't know the details, and thought it was some rare magic medicine.

"Thank you, Master, I feel much better."

"Let's take a short break. It will take at least a day or two to get back to the ground from here."

The two lit a fire in front of the spiral staircase, but sat on the ground across the burning fire, relatively silent for a while.Seeing that Trin hesitated to speak, Lude said calmly.

"If you are really Tring, then you have been missing for almost three months, and those companions who entered the maze with you took your body back. Now that I think about it, it should be an empty shell without a soul. No wonder I can cure you. Although the physical injury can't revive it, it turns out that your soul is still here."

"Three, three months!?"

Hearing the shocking facts from Lude suddenly, Tring was stunned for a moment.Because in his memory, the last frame was captured by the necromancer Dick. He thought he was just in a coma for a few days, but it actually took three months!

Then Tring thought of a terrible possibility. Just now, Lude said that the guards in his family went back with a body without a soul, and now he has become such a ghost again, waiting for him to go back , Will the family still recognize me?Can he continue to be the "eldest son" of the Navarro family?

Thinking of this, Dick couldn't help feeling flustered.

At this time, Lude's question brought Tring's thoughts back to reality.

"Have you been in a coma for the past three months?"

"Yes, I, I didn't know it took so long!"

"Then do you remember what happened before you fell into a coma? Your family guards only said that you had an accident in the maze, but I think their reaction at that time was obviously trying to hide something. I hope to know the truth, otherwise I really It's hard to help you, Master Tring."

"I……"

After hesitating for a moment, Trin, who was at a loss for what to do about his current predicament, finally confessed to Luther everything he knew, including Dick, the necromancer, and the Black Hand Brotherhood behind the Navarro family.

After Lude finished listening, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Not right..."

"Master, what's wrong?"

"It's simply a sense of disobedience. Based on my decades of experience in traveling the rivers and lakes, I feel that things are strange and seem to have a taste of conspiracy. That's right! You just said that the old housekeeper who was walking with you, in front of you Killed by a necromancer? But he is still alive, and he has already gone back to Yanmu City with other guards."

"What! Senior Sarkin is still alive?"

Hearing that Lude said that the old butler was still alive, Trin's expression was very different, because at that time they passed a promenade filled with dense water. The old butler repeatedly reminded Trin to pay attention to his feet, saying that dense water has no buoyancy. Even he would surely die, and then he watched the old housekeeper being dragged down by a few water ghosts.

As a result, now that Lude told him that the old butler who was "definitely dead" was still alive and well, combined with what Lude said before about "something is wrong" and "conspiracy", Tring subconsciously began to become suspicious.

End of this chapter

Making full use of the asymmetry of information, Lu De deliberately led Tring to associate his experience with conspiracy and tricks.

Seeing that Trin had become suspicious, Lude, who was so angry, also clicked.Some things don't need to be said too clearly, just a few words make people suspicious, and then he will think more and more wrong.

The two of them rested in front of the stairs for about an hour, and when Trin's physical strength was almost recovered, they set off and continued to return to the ground. They followed the spiraling stairs and returned to the fourth floor of the maze.

Entering the fourth floor, Trin followed Lude cautiously, because Lude told him that he had delayed a lot of time on the fifth floor before, and the mechanism in the maze might have been reset, so even if they were on the same road Return, still have to be careful to trigger the trap.

Tring, who has seen powerful things before, naturally knows how dangerous the traps in this maze are, and it is only at the level of the first and second floors, so it must not be comparable to the fourth floor of the maze they are currently in.

Because it was the return trip, the first room the two passed through when they returned to the fourth floor was the BOSS room.The huge room is like an opera house, with a stage with curtains and rows of seats, but all the objects are so huge that Tring, who is in it, has the illusion that he has become smaller.

And in the center of the giant stage, Trin saw a giant song and dance troupe composed of six metal golems, among which five black golems were obviously musicians, each holding a musical instrument. In the center of the circular stage, there is a golden golem in the shape of a dancer, with a graceful female torso, posing as if she is about to dance, and wearing a blood-red feather dress.

In terms of size alone, these golems are all much larger than the "dog brothers" on the first and second floors, especially the golden dancer, which should be eight or nine meters high, and Tring can barely hit the opponent's knee when he jumps up.

When Tring got closer, he realized that the musical instruments in the hands of the musician golem were actually weapons in the shape of musical instruments. It was not clear whether they could be accompanied by musical instruments, but it must be very neat to chop people, and the red dress on the dancer's body was even more impressive. It's scary, every feather is a sharp blade with metallic luster, and accompanied by gusts of wind blowing from nowhere, it makes a crisp sound like a wind chime.

If there is Lude's guarantee, they will not trigger the attack when they pass by the room of the "Hierarch Lord" on the return journey. Trin is also nervous to death when he crosses the stage. The field is full.

"Master, did you really hit the fifth floor alone?"

"It's not as intense as you think. I try to avoid fighting along the way, and to be honest, based on my experience in fighting Heid Taka over the years, this demon likes to set up puzzles for people to reason about, and there are many traps In fact, all of them can be solved by using your brain, even these golems who are the masters of the class."

Lu De's words made Trin half-understand, but soon he saw what a real "high play" is.The two passed through multiple areas along the way. As Lude said before, all the traps have been reset, and the difficulty of the traps on the fourth floor is much higher than that of the first and second floors. Not only are there more tricks, but almost all of them are It is a series of serial sets, and the design is so vicious that it is impossible to guard against it.

However, even so, Lude was always able to see through his moves with ease, as calmly as if the maze was his own home.

It is worth mentioning that before starting to break through the level, Lude specifically mentioned some precautions to Tring, one of which is that on the fourth floor of the maze, do not approach anything that looks like a treasure chest lightly. It was found that Lu De would throw small stones at the treasure chest at a distance of more than ten meters.

At first, Tring thought that there might be a hidden trap near the treasure chest. It wasn't until they encountered a monster that would suddenly open its bloody mouth, chasing and biting people everywhere, that Tring realized that there was something wrong with the box itself.

"Fuck! What the hell is this?"

"This is a treasure chest monster, a soft-bodied monster that lives in a box. It is specially designed to trap adventurers who don't care about anything when they see a treasure box. I have only seen a small amount on the fourth floor of the maze. The first three floors... should be no."

"This Heid Taka is too perverted."

"It's a demon after all."

Led by a boss, Trin passed the fourth floor without any risk.

When passing through the third floor, the two just passed by the place where the necromancer Dick once fought, that is, the secret room.

Lude wanted to see if Trin would be emotional, but the other party actually reacted, frowning and looking around, subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover the place where the old butler pierced his chest, as if in pain.

"Master... I seem to have been to this place before!"

"This is where your family guards found your body. I heard from other adventurers who were traveling with me at the time that they fought a masked man who could drive evil spirits. If I guessed correctly, that masked man should be That's the Dick you were looking for, and he's a necromancer, right?"

In front of Tring, Lu De just rightly showed the insight and wisdom that a seasoned veteran should have. Based on the existing information, he deduced the situation at that time bit by bit.Trin didn't deny it, but nodded silently, while Lude said after pondering for a moment.

"A necromancer... I think I know what's going on! Master Tring, your current body is probably that Dick's."

"This, this? Is it Dick's?"

Trin pointed to "myself", and Lude nodded.

"That's right! Based on what I know about the ancient profession of necromancers, they have a kind of sorcery that can strip the soul of a living person from the body. I guess he was trying to strip your soul, and it happened... some kind of A mistake caused your soul to occupy his body, and your own body became an empty shell, so it makes sense!"

In front of Tring, Lude analyzed and reasoned for a while, and "reviewed" what happened when he was held hostage by the necromancer Dick. Trin didn't understand what he heard, and he, a blind student, was also very nervous. Huadian was soon discovered.

"Master, I suddenly remembered something. When I asked you for divination, the summoned answerer said that the artifact I was looking for is in this maze, and it should be in the area between the second and fifth floors. , and he also said that as long as I bring him the blood of a necromancer, he will answer my question... Isn't that the blood of this body!?"

All of a sudden, Tring realized that what he had been looking for before was now close at hand.With Lude's ability to navigate the maze as to go home, as long as he is willing to help himself, isn't it easy to find the artifact?

And as if seeing through Tring's thoughts, Lude smiled mysteriously, showing a mask in his hand as if by magic.

End of this chapter

"Master, what is this thing in your hand?"

"A piece of artifact, when I was exploring the fourth floor, I dug it out from a treasure chest that looked very rare at first glance, and I happened to see it in an ancient book introducing artifacts. It's called 'Hume's Smile', It is an artifact made by God of Thieves."

"This is what I was looking for!!!"

Hearing that Lude said that the mask in his hand was a god-thieving artifact, Tring's first reaction was "Finally found it"!The god that their Black Hand Brotherhood believed in was Hume, the god of robbers, and the oracle asked them to find the lost sacred objects of the religion, so it must be that the mask of the artifact did not escape!

So it was completely subconscious. When Tring, who was used to the young master, reached out to get the mask, but just when his fingertips were about to touch the mask, he saw the half-smile expression on Lude's face. The outstretched claws immediately retracted like an electric shock.

He suddenly realized that this was not Yanmu City, where he, the young master of the Navarro family, could do whatever he wanted. The person holding the mask in front of him was not the ordinary people in his hometown who would tremble in front of him, but a man with undeniable strength. The tested saint-level priest.

The other party wanted to kill him just by waving his hand, but how dare he make a mistake in front of such a big boss, it really is too long to live!

"Yes, I'm sorry, master... the junior has lost his composure."

"Hehe, young man, it seems that you have successfully defeated your own greed, and you must make persistent efforts in the future!"

Putting the mask in his pocket casually, Luther stared at Tring without saying a word, until he saw the other party getting a little hairy, and then spoke slowly.

"Master Tring, you and I are destined to meet each other once. I don't really care about artifacts, but they are just external objects. I will give them to you if they are usually given to you, but have you ever thought about it? In your current situation, even if you really go back with the artifact, can you be credited for the credit in the end?"

"This……"

"Let me just ask the most basic question, when you go back to your hometown, how will you prove that you are yourself?"

"I... this..."

After hesitating and hawing for a long time, Tring scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time, and found that this is really a very difficult problem.His current physical body belongs to a necromancer, and only the invisible part of the soul is Tling, but the problem now is... who can believe this?

As the eldest son of the family, Tring does know a lot of family secrets that are not known to outsiders, and he can confront his father face to face, but the reason why Dick, the necromancer, can be ranked in the middle and high levels of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, is hated by all parties. One of the main reasons for this is that this guy has a unique skill in necromancy, which can spy on other people's memories, so many people guard against it.

That is to say, no matter how much he knows, there are still reasons to be suspected, and his father is suspicious by nature, and he is too cautious in doing things. There is a high probability that he will not believe empty-handed testimony. Carefully "dispose" of yourself, a suspicious person with unknown background and who knows too much.

It's not that Tring is worrying unfoundedly, but that his father really did it.

And more than once!

Thinking that he might have a difficult family to return to, and difficult to recognize relatives, Tring, who was still excited about finding the artifact just now, suddenly lost his interest.

But soon, Tring rekindled his hope, and he pinned his hope on Lude.The other party just said that undead spells can transfer souls, and Lude, who is more powerful than necromancers, might be able to do it too.

But just when he cast his hopeful eyes on Lu De, Lu De directly poured a basin of cold water over him.

"Young man, you think too much. I don't know how to use undead spells, and I don't know how to transfer human souls. And even if I can, it's been three months. Are you sure your original body is still there?"

"Uh……"

Looking at Trin who was completely silent, Lude didn't hit him again, but suddenly thought of a "good idea".

In order to deal with the Brotherhood of the Black Hand before, Lude's strategy was mainly to strengthen his own strength, and supplemented by instigating the opponent's infighting.So Lude set fire to Tring and Dick respectively, luring them into a fierce conflict in the maze, hoping that this fire could burn within the Brotherhood of the Black Hand.

What happened later was even more interesting. The two sides even played a wave of "both perish" in the maze. Dick, the necromancer, was fatally injured, but his body disappeared mysteriously, while Tring was left with only an empty shell and was killed by the family. The guards took it back to their hometown, Yanmu City.
