An investigation yielded no results.
Su Bai had no choice but to bite the bullet and cross the passage again.
This time, he noted down some of the minute details of the passageway.
Wait until you pass through the candlelight again.
As expected.
They returned to where they started.
But Su Bai immediately looked over and noticed something was wrong. "Sure enough, the brightness of the candles on the wall is changing."
Su Bai counted them carefully.
There are twelve silver candlesticks on both sides of the wall.
At this moment, the brightness of four candles is noticeably different from that of the other eight.
Even the flames were higher.
"The problem lies with these candles."
Su Bai turned around and instructed, "Go blow out the candle and try... Hmm?"
His gaze slowly swept over Fazel, Ishim, and a dim-witted goblin spearman.
He frowned and pondered for a moment.
Were there this many people from the beginning?
“...”
This question immediately silenced the two of them.
Fazel spoke first: "My lord, it seems that the power of the heretical god has distorted our perception. I can no longer remember how many filthy goblins there were at the beginning."
"Wow!"
Upon hearing this, the goblin spearman immediately jumped up in anger.
"They are goblins."
Su Bai corrected him.
However, he did not expect that the two Templar Knights would treat goblins so badly.
That makes sense when you think about it.
When Su Bai first discovered these creatures, they were eating people...
He quickly stopped dwelling on the issue.
His thoughts then turned to something else.
'Cognitive manipulation... It's not surprising that this power can affect the Templars, but can even I, a player, be affected?'
"Go knock over the candles, and if anything seems amiss, we'll leave immediately."
Su Bai gave instructions to the goblin.
The next sentence was addressed to the two Templar Knights.
As the three were talking, they retreated to the temple exit.
The goblin spearman reluctantly got up and went to a candlestick, swung his scimitar, and knocked it to the ground.
call...
A candle went out.
The change happened immediately.
The white plaster on the wall that the candlestick originally illuminated had rapidly aged and peeled off, revealing an old, gray-white mural.
The mural depicts an empty, dark room.
Inside the room.
A statue of a god stands there.
However, the statue's form was too distorted and blurry to be clearly seen.
Upon seeing this, Su Bai's heart stirred. He vaguely guessed where the vanished goblin had gone and immediately said, "Go and extinguish the third candle on the right."
The goblin spearman did as he was told.
Clang!
The silver candlestick was overturned on the ground, the candle went out, and the melted lamp oil slowly spread on the ground.
The corresponding wall, now devoid of candlelight, instantly appears old and decaying.
A mural appears.
This time, in that dimly lit room, there was a goblin kneeling devoutly before the statue.
Before Su Bai could issue any other instructions...
Suddenly, the goblin spear-thrower in the mural became strangely vivid in color.
"Leave there."
Su Bai gave the order immediately.
However, the goblin spear thrower reacted a few seconds too late.
The next moment.
A curved blade surrounded by a pale yellow halo suddenly emerged from the mural, as if breaking the boundary between illusion and reality.
Whoosh!
With a single strike, he severed the goblin spearman's head.
Knock knock knock...
The head, with its bewildered and confused expression, rolled on the ground. The headless corpse gushed out a large amount of green blood before swaying and collapsing to the ground.
At this point, the goblin in the mural had completely broken free and become reality.
Its appearance has changed a lot.
Although it still had the body of a goblin, it had become taller and stronger. Yellow veins bulged on its body, the skin on its back was torn open and bleeding. Four thick, luminous tentacles emerged from the wounds, radiating countless fine threads, like a pair of wings woven from light.
[Twilight Goblin: Elite, Level 11, Health/]
...
An unknown force has transformed the vanished goblin spearmen into elite units.
Unfortunately, it is now an enemy.
"My lord, retreat immediately!"
Fazel said immediately.
"Haa!"
Ishim was already charging towards the goblins, dragging his two-handed greatsword.
A brutal collision!
Bang!
He slammed his body into the goblin, knocking it back two steps, and a dizzy symbol appeared above its head.
-879!
dizziness!
Charge and unleash a furious slash!
Whoosh!
Ishim swung his longsword, which was dragging on the ground, and slashed it directly at the goblin.
Charge Slash deals double damage to stunned targets.
This sword strike dealt explosive damage.
-2074!
Fazel followed suit and rushed forward. Under the combined attack of two Tier 3 Templar Knights, even an elite monster could not withstand it for long.
Su Bai only took a moment to cast a Fire Demon Spell to deal some damage.

The rules for recruiting units to share experience are somewhat different from those for defensive towers.
Within a defined area, each defensive tower independently gains experience for each monster killed.
