Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The Third Wish
The Avengers sat upright in their seats, and when the little girl instructed them to start eating, they immediately started moving.
The Avengers picked up their glasses and drank heartily, as if they were having a party with friends. They drank heavily, cut food, ate with big mouthfuls, raised their glasses to each other, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very warm.
But there was no sound, so the scene looked like a horrible pantomime.
System 05 and Federer remained motionless. The little girl floated over and asked, "Why don't you eat? This food is specially prepared for you. Don't waste it."
System 05 moved, and black shadows once again spread from the ground, climbing up his body and arms, controlling his hands to grab the food. As these shadows grasped him, he shivered with cold, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
System 05 glanced down and said, "I have a question for you."
Little girl: “What?”
"You just said we're from your hometown. Where is your hometown?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment. She remembered something bad, looked down at her stomach, and her face became ferocious.
"I hate you!" she screamed.
All the Avengers immediately looked at System 05, and then rushed towards him together.
He used a Remove Bind skill card on himself and cast the Light spell. The space that suddenly lit up made the Avengers pause for a second. This moment was enough for Federer to break free from the restraints. He swung his sword and chopped it down. The sword emitted a faint silver light, causing real damage to those untouchable Avengers.
System 05 still uses both skill cards and spells. Although the church spells are more targeted, Weber knows too few combat spells, so he can only provide help to Federer as much as possible.
Federer brandished a heavy sword and a shield. These weapons blessed by the church had special effects on the Avengers. Federer was a master of swordsmanship. The heavy sword was as light as a feather in his hand. He could easily deal with several Avengers.
But the problem is that there is only one Federer in the Holy City, and Federer may not be Federer.
In Weber's memory, he has never seen anyone with a higher level of strength than Federer.
After the Avengers were dealt with, the hall fell into a dead silence, lit only by the staircase. Shadows on the ground surged toward them, gradually converging into a dark wave. Federer tried to cut at them, but his sword sliced through them like a stream. As the shadows drew closer, the scent of decaying vegetation enveloped him once more. System 05 grabbed Federer's hand and ran towards the stairs.
After climbing up the stairs, the shadows could only roll in vain below and did not catch up. Standing in front of them was a huge iron door.
System 05 whispered, "This castle is leading us upwards."
From the very first steps, this tower has been guiding them. The dark shadows were meant to force them to go up, but also to block the way down.
"It's probably more dangerous up there," Federer said.
"Then we have to go up and see what it wants to do."
The one in front of him was about three meters high and was carved with very exquisite patterns. System 05 used light magic to take a closer look. It depicted a group of people dancing at a banquet. They were wearing gorgeous and beautiful clothes, hugging each other and dancing with their hands. Every detail on the pattern was perfect, and even the subtle expressions on their faces could be seen. In the middle of the banquet stood a young man with short golden hair and a face like a rose. He wore a crown and smiled, as if you could hear the music flowing through the picture.
System 05 tried pushing. There was a slight resistance, but with a little effort, he pushed it open. To his surprise, there was light inside. System 05, having been in darkness for so long, was suddenly struck by the bright light and squinted. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a cloud of white mist drifting in and out, and then, melodious music reached his ears.
System 05 stepped into the room and heard Federer following closely behind him, feeling a sense of peace. He grabbed Federer's hand, and in the blink of an eye, many people appeared around him.
Those "people" were wearing gorgeous costumes painted on the door and dancing to the music. They had smiles on their faces and were in pairs, waving their arms and moving their feet as if no one was around. The air was filled with the aroma of cream, desserts and wine, making people think that this was a grand banquet.
System 05 was the only one who tensed up. He suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes. He looked down and saw the little girl again. She said to System 05, "Aren't you going to dance with us?"
After she finished speaking, those people's eyes fell vaguely on System 05, as if wondering why he didn't dance.
"I can't dance." said System 05.
Before the little girl could say anything, Federer suddenly swung his sword at her. The girl, incredibly agile, dodged it. System 05 was about to turn around and tell Federer to hold back when all the lights went out. The entire room was suddenly dark, and all sound vanished. System 05 attempted to use light magic, but it had no effect. He tried several times, confirming that it was ineffective.
System 05 tried to light the tinder he carried with him, but the tinder wouldn't light at all. Just as he was wondering what to do, someone suddenly hugged him.
Only Federer was behind him. System 05 breathed a sigh of relief and heard Federer say in a joking voice, "My lord, I'm so scared."
System 05 thought to himself, "Why are you so in love at this time?" In fact, the word "in love" is not enough to describe this behavior. But then, his expression changed, because this embrace was very cold, exactly the same as the feeling of those tentacles. He reached out and touched Federer's cold armor, and then he suspected that he was wrong.
"Let me go first." System 05 said softly, without looking up at Federer.
"We should have danced together just now." The person behind him hugged him tighter, almost rubbing him into his body, melting his bones and blood. "What a rare opportunity! I haven't danced with you yet."
The door was smashed open with a bang. At the same time, a flashlight appeared in System 05's hand. He turned on the flashlight, and the plug-in from the main interface illuminated the entire hall in great detail.
The hall was now empty. Standing at the door was none other than Federer. Seeing System 05 trapped, his expression changed drastically for the first time, and he shouted, "Get out of the way! He's the Avenger!"
System 05 was facing the door, being held from behind by Federer. He tried to break free, but Federer said, "Don't go. He's the fake one. I was following you the whole time, but he just appeared out of nowhere! You've been holding my hand since we came upstairs, and you never let go, remember?"
System 05 paused for a moment. At that moment, the little girl reappeared. She hid in the shadows, her face pale as she spoke, "Sir, who do you think is real and who is fake?"
System 05 still believed the one behind more, because Federer just now was too abnormal. Federer at the door stepped in and stared at him nervously, and the one behind him also let go of his arms, waiting for his decision.
The strong light shone on the three people. The Avengers should be afraid of light, but none of them were affected.
In this situation... System 05 desperately tried to recall what skill cards he had available, and quickly flipped through them. Then, his eyes suddenly fixed on one of the skill cards.
【Face the soul】.
One card is worth 100 points. System 05 first used it on Federer at the gate. Then, his eyes were instantly filled with dense information.
【Eat eat ...
System 05 used another one behind him:
【Eat eat ...
System 05: ...?
With a resounding bang, the silver-shimmering heavy sword slashed down, splitting Federer in half. A sound like boiling liquid echoed where his body and the heavy sword met, and Federer melted into the ground like liquid. Federer, standing behind him, tried to grab System 05, but the heavy sword was faster. System 05 soon saw a stream of black liquid spreading to his feet.
Only then did he see clearly that the owner of the heavy sword, Federer, turned around and stood in front of him.
"I was just entangled by those shadows. I told you not to go upstairs, but you didn't listen." Federer took a deep breath and looked at System 05's expression. He asked, "Are you okay?"
Those two are fake, so could this one be real?
System 05 used [Face the Soul] on him.
[I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I want ...
System 05 is silent.
Can this be true?
What are the last two words?
What's the difference between it and fake ones?!
Federer blinked and said, "I saw what happened just now. Uh, you may have some doubts... But I have a way to prove myself."
"How do you prove it?" System 05 asked casually.
"You like to grow flowers, especially lotus flowers."
After Federer finished speaking, he stared at him, waiting for System 05's reaction.
He was proud of his answer, so a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
System 05 was stunned for a moment, then remained expressionless. This continued for a long time before he raised his knee and struck Federer hard in the abdomen. He grabbed the sides of his helmet with both hands and pulled it down. He looked directly into Federer's dark gray eyes and said in a low voice, "Chen Mu, is this fun?"
Chen Mu smiled even more deeply.
In the S20 world, System 05 resided within his sword and rarely appeared except when necessary. However, once he saw any unusual plants, especially exotic flowers and plants, he would appear and coax Chen Mu to go and see them.
Later, they raised a rare twin lotus together.
Look, System 05 hasn't forgotten either.
