Main city!

The base camp of the Heroic Soul Legion, the most dangerous and mysterious area in the Continent of Time!

Even Sword Princess couldn't find any information about the main city in her school. For most magicians, meeting the Heroic Spirit Legion was already the limit of their abilities. Unless they could kill the commander and get the map, they would not know the location of the main city at all.

As for accidentally breaking into the main city area, it is even more impossible - in the Blood Tomb Map and Star Hall Map obtained by Ash, it is clearly stated that there are at least three legions patrolling back and forth outside the main city area, and the patrol legion's standard follower configuration is "flying" and "reconnaissance" attributes. Ordinary magicians will be killed and bounced back to reality immediately if they step beyond the limit. They will die if they try.

After Ash's team knew the location of the main city, they never thought of exploring it. Firstly, there was no other certain benefit from exploring the main city except satisfying curiosity, and secondly, the risk was ridiculously high, not to mention that the Heroic Soul Legion was still chasing them.

They explore the main city, no different than a gasoline tanker volunteering to run into a fire as a firefighter.

Wouldn't it be nice to just climb to the third level of the virtual world? Wouldn't it be nice to just search the map? Why do we have to leave our comfort zone?

So when Ash found himself in an unfamiliar area of ​​the main city, he felt like a cancer patient - "Why is this happening?"

Under normal circumstances, he would never come to this place, even without a detailed map. However, as long as he saw the Legion of Heroes appearing in front of him, he would immediately turn around and leave. After all, when you see the sky covered with dark clouds, you know it is time to hide from the rain.

However, the random curse of the shopping book, "Gaze", just made it difficult for him to focus on the virtual map. If it were any other time, the curse of "Gaze" would pose no threat to them at all. At most, they would just sit and gaze at each other for an hour, and maybe the bond level would be raised.

Even if they encounter fatal danger, the most they can do is die. Although they cannot actively leave the virtual realm during the curse, the random curse will automatically end after leaving the virtual realm, which is equivalent to exchanging a death for a blessing.

It just so happened that Ash and the others were being hunted by the Heroic Soul Legion!

But they have reasons why they cannot die!

But the sports car is fast enough to pass through the patrol line around the main city!

Ash didn't know whether it was the effect of his bad luck of "no toilet paper when taking a shit", or the curse of eternal damnation taking effect again, or it could be that the Queen's spirit was drawing circles to curse himself - of course, this was not a multiple-choice question - but with the perfect coordination of multiple coincidences, Ash actually made it to the unfamiliar main city area safely!

But the magicians did not feel the surprise of 'seeing the world', but instead felt endless fear in their hearts.

"roar!"

On the wall of the giant wooden fortress, several pitch-black dragons spread their wings and roared. The sound almost turned into tangible black lightning, which kept spreading along the space. Even the sports cars on the edge of the area were affected, and the "refractive curtain wall" began to ripple!

As if stimulated, Ash's necromancy spirit suddenly jumped out by itself, and the two-color crystals suspended in the air emitted a dazzling purple glow, as if shouting to the dragon, "Come here! If you have the guts, come and kill my master." And it couldn't be retracted, so Ash was so scared that he quickly put the necromancy back into his windbreaker and hid it.

Sometimes, magic spirits will appear on their own. The most common situation is that they are hungry, but they will also quietly come out to fish when they see something they are interested in. For example, when Ash is playing "Magic Duel 14" with Liz, the Heart Sword and the Earth Sword will unknowingly appear on his shoulders to watch.

"There's actually a mature Evil Eye Shadow Dragon!" Sonia's voice trembled: "Isn't this a superior race that only appears in the Faraway Space? How could it appear in the Time Continent?"

"The intellectual creatures in the Far Away?" Ash was stunned: "That means..."

"It has the fighting power of a Saint Realm magician in its infancy, and is strong enough to compete with Saint Realm magicians in its growth period. The mature Evil Eye Shadow Dragon is even one of the "Ten Fierce Disasters in the Sky"!" Sonia grabbed Diya's hand: "My professor...she once challenged the Evil Eye Black Dragon, and then she couldn't enter the Void Realm for half a year."

He is not a commander, nor a type of soldier. He is just an intellectual creature raised in the main city, yet he has the power to crush the Holy Land!

Only a fool would go near the main city!

However, the Heroic Soul Legion, which was chasing closely from behind, did not give Ash any choice at all!

The sports car made a trembling roar, running desperately on the olive green grass, trying to bypass the outer area! The air was filled with the fresh scent of green leaves, and the grass without the rain curtain blocked the way. The beautiful girl operator looked at him with expectant eyes. If you ignore the thunder roaring in all directions, this can be regarded as a pleasant ride.

"I can't help it." Ash spread his hands: "My virtual realm plan does not include killing through the main city, such a small branch."

"What should we do?" Diya asked anxiously, "If we continue like this, we will definitely be surrounded and attacked... huh?"

Diya was suddenly startled, then she adjusted her plain glasses, and then her hair turned completely white, and her attire changed into a silver-white skirt and armor.

"The White Queen?"

"It's me." The White Queen nodded: "Sword Princess, let me explain something to you first."

Sonia, who was staring at Ash in thought, turned to look at her, "What?"

"The viewer cannot die." The White Queen said, "In a few days, the Spider Tower round will begin. If he dies, it will definitely violate the contract, and the Necromancer will have to be given to the Queen. Without the Necromancer, we can only hope for the Queen's mercy - but it is obvious that the Queen has not yet regained her feelings. Even if she regained them all, she would not have such a thing in her heart."

Ash did not refute. Even if he made a few more bottles of "Fiery Soul Essence Special Drink" to heal the soul, it would not be possible to recover in just three days, unless he could draw a more powerful item - but he had just purchased the curse that reduced his luck.

Although Ash can use the Gospel to magnify his intentions and increase his chances of winning, this is just a remedy for when there is no toilet paper when taking a shit and there is hand sanitizer nearby. Instead of counting on the lottery, Ash might as well count on the list being updated immediately tomorrow and rewarded immediately, and Ash being promoted to the Holy Land and given a few wives immediately, that would be the real solution to all problems.

In fact, after losing the necromancy, according to common sense, the Queen didn't need to continue to hunt them down, after all, there was no benefit, but the problem was that the Queen was not a species that could be described by common sense. And it was too stupid to let others decide life and death. Ash didn't want to let others decide life and death, so he escaped from Broken Lake Prison.

"It's too restrictive for three people to look at each other." The White Queen continued, "But it would be much easier if there were two of us. We could even try to cross the Golden River."

"But the curse already exists." Ash said, "Even if we want to interrupt it, we can't..."

Ash stopped mid-sentence.

This curse can indeed be broken, and the method is very simple.

"You can break the spell by damaging your own eyes." The White Queen said, "But our sorcerers' souls will automatically repair their injuries, so we must continue to damage our eyes to maintain our blindness."

"But what is more likely to happen is that the curse will help prevent recovery, ensuring that the magician no longer has the ability to 'see' during the duration of the curse."

The curse of "eye-to-eye contact" is very interesting. Its essence is to "keep the magician in the same state". When the magician forcibly changes his state through self-harm, the operating principle of the curse does not change, or it cannot change back even if it wants to. After all, eye-to-eye contact requires two people, so it is likely to adopt a more clever strategy: changing "maintaining eye contact" to "maintaining blindness".

"If two people look at each other and hold the third blind operator together, they can indeed restore a certain degree of mobility," Ash pondered, "As long as we find a golden river to cross, we will most likely be able to escape..."

boom!

Flaming fireballs that looked like meteorites blossomed into fire lotuses on the "refractive curtain wall". The shrill screams of flying creatures drowned out their voices. A group of heroic souls appeared in the rain outside the main city, once again blocking the escape route of Ash and his companions!

Faced with such a siege, the sports cars had to avoid the attack in the direction of the main city, but this was only a temporary solution. Their room for maneuvering would only become less and less, and there would always be commanders in the main city to take away the takeaway that was delivered to their doorsteps!

More than half an hour ago, they were still delighted with their encounter with the special mechanism of the 'Chaotic Shopping Book'.

More than half an hour later, the situation took a turn for the worse. Although they were driving on a vibrant grassland, death could not wait to embrace them!

Moreover, this death will directly lead to the Queen's defeat in the bet. After losing the necromancy, their future life and death will depend on the Queen's mood on that day!

The defeat is like a landslide, and the survivors are doomed!

"If we continue like this, we will become the excrement of knowledge creatures before we even encounter the Golden River." The White Queen said, "It's time to make a choice."

"What's the meaning?"

"Give the blind man armed soldiers and let him stay to buy time." The White Queen said calmly: "It may only delay for a second, or it may successfully confuse the Heroic Soul Legion, but it is better than sitting and waiting to die."

"The benefits are too low!" Ash said immediately, "And if we stay behind to cover our retreat, we will surely die!"

"But this is not the Spider Tower. They are not the Queen, and they will not deliberately let their followers devour our souls. Although the souls of those who are left behind will be severely damaged, at least they can save their lives." The White Queen said: "If we do nothing, we will die anyway, and now we can still gain some benefits, which is not a bad result."

"Yes, I agree with the witch's analysis." Sonia suddenly said, "This is indeed the only solution, so..."

"Let me do it." "Let me do it."

The White Queen was a little surprised: "Sword Princess, you have been teaming up with the Viewer for a longer time and have better cooperation. I can't show much strength just by staring at him like this. You should stay."

“No.” The village girl shook her head. “Our fighting power is nothing compared to the Heroic Soul Legion. If it is our turn to fight, we will just be struggling to survive. But Witch, you have a more acute gift for time. We were able to cross the Flowing Gold River last time thanks to your help. If we have to escape across the Flowing Gold River in the end, then it is the most appropriate choice for you to stay.”

"Sword Princess," said the White Queen, "We volunteered to be the last one to leave. You don't have to feel any psychological burden, nor do you need to prove that you and I are equal. We already believed in you when we crossed the Liujin River last time."

"I didn't... Well, let's not talk about the role you can play if you stay, but like you said, I have to prove that we are equal!" Sonia said, "I usually get the most spoils, eat the most gems, and have been in the team longer than you, so I must take on greater responsibilities at this time, otherwise how can we be equal?"

"It's meaningless for you to say you don't mind. You don't mind today, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? I don't want to test human nature, because once you test it, it will turn into an abyss and a dragon! If it were someone else, I would take advantage of them, but we will have to spend countless days and nights together in the future, and I can't let you look down on me!"

"Sword Princess, you have too much self-esteem. I won't look down on you for that."

"I don't have a strong sense of self-esteem. I just tend to judge others by myself."
