Chapter 261 Imminent

Then, Kashu and Safia also came over and cast a protective spell against curses and other types of magical damage on him.

After all, he is not really going to die, so he still needs to take necessary protective measures.

Otherwise, if there are similar assessment sessions later, who should go first? At the same time, Shafiya gave Bai Yishengxue Yipiaopiao a talisman-shaped detection device, which integrated various detection arrays to ensure that his heroic sacrifice achieved the maximum value.

"Sorry, stranger, please come on."

Alyssa was the last one to step forward. As she cast the magic, she spoke in a low voice with a little reluctance.

As a knight, she felt a little uncomfortable with this behavior that violated the spirit of chivalry, but a companion in a team was always more important than a stranger from an unknown place.

However, she still activated her pendant and cast her sixth-level [Protective Magic], which she could only use twice a day, on the girl in Bai Yishengxueyi Piaopiao.

Although the other three spellcasters did not quite agree with this behavior, they also secretly approved of her character in their hearts.

The half-elf player, who was covered with several layers of shields like a light bulb, had no choice but to step forward tremblingly and put his hand on the door.

Fortunately, no curse trap was triggered. Only an input box popped up on the panel: Please enter the answer.

He heaved a sigh of relief, and according to the answer Anvis told him, Bai Yishengxue Piaopiao carefully entered it.

The lavender gate flashed, and the half-elf player suddenly disappeared.

"It's OK. His current status is normal. This is not a trap door. However, his position feedback is rather special. The spatial coordinates show that he has not left this world, but he does not exist anywhere."

Looking at the strings of inscriptions flowing rapidly on the Rubik's Cube, Safia told the results of the detection.

Relying on the detection device given to the half-elf player in advance, she successfully captured the situation on the other side of the door.

"In other words, the next trial location is located in the deep space of this dream world?"

Avis nodded in understanding. This part of the trial process did not change.

The deep space is the deep dream, which is equivalent to the bottom layer of the dream world. Different from the surface of the dream world, there is no light and matter there, only the chaotic space-time of the dream world itself.

The strong men of Zhenzhi Society cleared out a small area as the next testing site.

Unlike the trial in the surface world where the stone tablets were sought, the following trial did not have a combat component.

Furthermore, according to the magical structure of the Hermetic Mystery, there is more than one exit from the door. Which exit you will go out from will depend on the answer given by the person who passes through the door when entering.

In ancient times, this spell was often used on the door of the treasury. Only by answering the questions correctly could one enter the real treasury. If the answer was wrong, the door would lead to a dead end or a fake treasury.

After explaining the principle of the mystery of Hemershuo to Alyssa, several people stepped forward together and put their hands on the door, thinking about their answers in their hearts.

"Put three cups of fine wine on the top of Mount Theberus, with many obstacles on the way. The first one to climb up will get the fine wine."

“Conceptualize three cups of fine wine and fix them forever in the cups. Drinkers can only taste it within a fixed range. When they leave this range, the wine they drink will return to the cups for their endless companions to drink.”

“Give three glasses of fine wine to a winemaker who is good at brewing. He will then reverse the brewing process and brew countless identical glasses of fine wine, which will be distributed to countless fellow travelers.”

“Turn fine wine into stars, and let the starlight illuminate the way forward for all those who travel with you.”

Several rays of light flashed by, and everyone's figures disappeared instantly.

After opening his eyes again, Avis found himself in a room that looked somewhat familiar.

It was small in size and simply decorated. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed his residence in the college.

There was no one else around. After casually taking a look at the surroundings, Avis opened the window directly, and then saw the completely distorted and blurred scenery outside the window.

The environment here is not real, but a dream created based on his own consciousness.

This is the second of three tests, which requires solving a series of problems in the illusion and eventually finding the exit to leave the illusion.

By leveraging the characteristics of deep dreams, the environment here is not just an illusion, and it is powerful enough to affect high-level professionals.

Normally, not to mention these second- and third-level Pamir freshmen, even a fourth-level professional wearing defensive illusion accessories would be affected and get hit.

He could only use the method of decryption to gradually realize that he was in a fantasy world and eventually escape from it.

But for Avis, who knew the situation in advance and whose strength was close to the seventh level, he needed to restrain his conscious activities as much as possible to prevent the world from collapsing too quickly.

But just when Avis was about to pretend and drag on for half a magic hour, a sharp sense of danger came again, directly causing the illusion space around him to dissipate.

"Something's wrong. This feeling..."

Because of this accident, Avis didn't care about anything else and immediately entered a state of alert. A sixth-level detection ring on his finger was immediately activated, and it detected the surrounding environment over a large area.

At the same time, his hand unconsciously reached into the chest pocket of his dress.

There was the egg shell of Rai obtained from the deserted island. Anvis directly held it in his hand and cast a protective spell.

As a layer of pale white crystal shield enveloped his body, the intense sense of crisis weakened a little.

“There is some kind of great danger approaching, but it is unpredictable. The protection of the eggshell is effective to a certain extent, but it cannot completely resist it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just now, the first sense of danger appeared in the surface world, and when entering the deep world, the danger still exists and even becomes stronger. "

"Either it's some high-level hunter that has chased us in from the surface world. Or it's a danger of an unimaginable scale, and the level is beyond my control."

After quickly reaching a possible conclusion, Avis no longer hesitated and directly used a trace of mental power to activate the crystal bird pendant on his chest. . ….…. "…So, for two small dream worlds to collide, it would take nearly three magic hours? Are you really sure that's enough time? The time for their previous tests is usually around two magic hours, and it's rare for it to exceed two and a half magic hours."

At this time, in a dark room in the capital of the Gloria Empire, the black-robed man who had previously activated the giant magic circle was looking at the crystal ball in front of him and raising questions.

"My friend, you must understand that the flow of time is relative."

In the crystal ball, a cloaked figure who was hazy and even seemed like a shadow slowly spoke. The voice also had overlapping echoes, making it difficult to distinguish its gender.

“Indeed, it seemed to us that it took only a moment for them to pass through the door between the surface dream and the deep dream.

But for the independent dream world in that space-time region, it would take a full magic hour to pass through the surface of the world. In other words, the time left for them to pass the level was only about one and a half magic hours.

The fastest record of the Zhenzhi Society's assessments over the years is one magic hour and fifty-four minutes."

"…Okay, I guess I don't quite understand these profound theories of time and space."

The masked man in black robe was stunned for a moment, then decided not to dwell on this issue anymore, and instead raised another question that occurred to him.

"But even if the world collapses and the space-time coordinates are in chaos, making it impossible to teleport, it should not be able to stop the ninth level of the True Knowledge Society, right? And Duke Karlas should have left a teleportation beacon on his descendants."

"Ninth rank of the True Knowledge Society? Duke Karras?"

The figure let out a burst of overlapping and reverberating laughter.

"You'll soon know—"

At the same time, in the Lord's Mansion of Karlas, Duke Carrot suddenly sensed that Anvis's amulet was activated.

Looking at the peaceful environment around Avis on the live broadcast screen in front of him, the Duke's mouth twitched and he hesitated.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to go for the rescue.

Just break the rules. Avis suddenly called him, he must have his reasons.

But if Avis really just felt that the test was too difficult and activated the family amulet to seek his help, then he would let Avis understand the price of breaking the rules at will.
