I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

At this time, inside the underground temple.

Alice, who was sandwiched between two stone slabs, struggled to get out of the gap. She almost wanted to beat herself up for triggering the mechanism just now.She lay on the ground in shock, while thinking about why she left the warm bed early in the morning and came out of Demias' residence to run to this temple.

Adventure?

It is true that she got a rare adventure experience, which made her happy, but she was happy only if this adventure would not endanger her life.

——TBC——

Chapter 5: Adventures in the Temple

Alice collapsed on the ground, and the experience of being almost crushed into toffee by two stone slabs made her heart beat at a super speed.In front of her, two thick stone slabs closed with a bang.

The echoes and vibrations in the temple finally stopped, and everything returned to calm, but Alice has not recovered yet. She is thinking about what she did to be trapped in this temple full of mechanisms...

——————————————————————————————————

Just this morning, when dawn broke and the first bird call came from Dai Si'an, Alice also woke up from her bed.

"I slept so well. I didn't have any dreams yesterday..."

Alice sighed. She slept extremely peacefully without being disturbed by dreams. It was rare for her to greet the new day with full energy.

According to the itinerary, Alice originally planned to leave for the royal capital Ander early this morning, but she planned to postpone her trip today and leave after visiting the underground temple.

"It won't take me much time."

This was Alice's idea, and it was true.

After depositing her luggage and the black cat with Kefir, she walked briskly out of the village chief's house, and finally arrived at the forest where the underground temple was located. Counting it all together, only half an hour had passed.

Alice stretched out her hand and touched the stone walls of the temple that were exposed on the ground. The stone walls were covered with weathered marks. The pitted and uneven surface told the story of the time that this temple had spanned.Through the door, Alice could see a corner of the mural. The old-colored mural was waiting for her appreciation.

Without further ado, Alice walked in cautiously while holding on to the wall. After entering the temple, the first thing that caught her eye was the mural she saw earlier. A floating island was engraved on the brown stone wall. A trickle of water falls from the island to the sky.

Under the floating island, the continent and ocean are depicted.

Alice had seen similar pictures in college books. People call the floating island in the picture the "Holy Palace", which is the residence of the gods; and what is under the floating island represents where we are. The world - Nirnati.

Alice paused in front of the mural for a long time. This mural was very old, and the map it depicted was more detailed than the one in the book. If scholars from the imperial capital saw it, they would probably shout: "This is impossible." !" Right.

Alice didn't think much about the origin of this mural. She thought this continent had always looked like this.The detailed map on this mural even allowed her to find the location of the college. Then she continued to search, trying to find her hometown on this mural. Her mentor once said that she came from somewhere north of the college. Village.

She had searched on various maps, but found nothing. Perhaps it was due to the age of the map, and the place Alice was looking for was always blank.

Although the name of the village was unknown, she still remembered the location of the village. She searched upwards and finally saw a letter: K in a small corner.

The characters around this letter have long been indistinct, but this letter stubbornly stays where it should.

Alice was so excited by the unexpected information that she memorized the letter so that she could rely on it to find her family in the future.

After that, Alice groped her way along the passage inside the temple. She stepped over the stairs to the lower level. The light from the outside could not penetrate the stone cracks, and even the air was a little thinner. It seemed that she was here. Arrive at the underground part of the temple.

Alice took off the torch on the wall to illuminate the path under her feet. By the light of the fire, she walked slowly step by step, and then she found many statues standing inside the room.

Those statues were much taller than Alice. The blue-gray stone was carved with different appearances. There was a metal plate embedded in the base of the stone statue. Alice squatted down and brought the torch closer, so she saw the inscription on the metal plate.

Those were magical words, the kind that Alice had learned in the academy and used to cast spells. She couldn't help but read it out loud, and the magical incantation immediately echoed inside the temple.Alice began to feel that something was wrong. Usually the spell would only echo twice at most, but this time it seemed that the number of echoes was a bit too much.

five times?Or six times?

The spell that echoed in the room no longer sounded like Alice's voice. The hollow, emotionless voice made people want to flee immediately.

Alice did indeed do this. When she felt the magic in the room beginning to condense crazily, she took a few steps back, turned around and ran upstairs.

Unfortunately, her movements were delayed a few steps before the magic was activated. As soon as she ran to the stairs, the stairs automatically went under the floor and turned into a slope, and the door to the upper floor was also tightly closed.

Alice is trapped on this level because she recited a spell on the base of the statue.

"Beginner's Course for Magicians 101: Never say a spell whose origin you don't know!"

If Alice could become a tutor in the future, she would definitely teach this in her first class.But now the ancient magic that existed inside the temple was activated, and the entire ground began to tremble.

Alice wanted to use gravity on herself, but all the magic power in her body was drained out of her body in an instant, and she could only helplessly hold her body against the wall to stabilize her body.

"Ahhhh!"

Alice screamed silently in her heart. She finally experienced the so-called curiosity killed the cat herself.

A short while later, before Alice could relax, she felt herself moving forward.In fact, her knees were still shaking, and her whole body was still in an awkward position close to the wall, making it impossible to move forward at all.

"Why am I moving forward?"

"Wait? Wall!?"

Alice reacted quickly, not because of her quick thinking, but because she saw the person opposite her approaching her at super speed.

The brown wall looked like an out-of-control bullfight. It made a harsh noise while "running" straight in the direction of Alice.

The obstacles in front of it refer specifically to those statues.

To be honest, these seemingly strong statues were as fragile as puddings in front of this wall, and were smashed to pieces after making a "clicking" sound.

The wall's speed did not slow down at all after smashing several statues one after another. The wall behind Alice thought that this speed was not fast enough. It was pushing Alice forward so that one person and one wall could come earlier. Embrace.

Alice hurriedly left the wall behind her. Her living space was being taken away, and the enemies in front and behind were coming menacingly.Time was very tight. If she didn't make a decision, she would be the first person to be made into a slate sandwich.

"If the front and back are not working...then we can only go left and right!"

Alice ran towards the right side closest to her. Faced with the fact that the only entrance was unavailable, she had to make a last resort.

"Elemental blast!" 』

Alice's magic power had not yet been fully restored, her spell failed, and a small fire danced for a few times before disappearing.She didn't stop trying because of this, and she didn't dare to stop. Fortunately, her magic succeeded in the end.

With the sound of explosions, the wall on Alice's right collapsed, and she hurriedly squeezed between the two stone slabs less than ten centimeters away from her.

Then, Alice lay on her back on the ground cursing why she had to recite that damn curse.After waiting for a while, she slowly stood up and looked at this unfamiliar room. There was an altar in the center of the room, with fruits and wine placed on the altar.The pure white stone bricks reflected the firelight and lit up the entire room. All the furnishings in the room looked solemn and holy in this environment.

Alice walked to the altar, avoiding everything along the way for fear of running into any trap again.The offerings on the altar were tempting her, and her throat was already dry and painful. Some sweet and juicy fruits or a small glass of wine could get her out of this predicament.

"How to do?"

Alice was torn. On the one hand, she desperately needed water, but on the other hand, she was afraid of causing any more trouble.She struggled not knowing what to do, her hand reaching out and retracting, each time lingering near the glass but never actually picking up the glass.

As time passed, the burning sensation in her throat did not subside, and Alice began to become more and more irritable.

"Drink, it's not poisonous."

A hand stretched out from the side and pointed at the wine glass. The owner of that hand was talking to himself. His voice sounded very young and he was a man.

Alice was startled, and her whole body trembled. Several possible options whirled through her mind, and she muttered: "Don't be a ghost, don't be a ghost...".

The man laughed when he heard Alice's murmur, and said, "Am I a ghost? In my eyes, you are more like a ghost."

"Suddenly appeared here, muttering at the altar again."

"You're the one who suddenly appeared, okay! I was almost crushed to death just now, and I finally escaped from there."

Alice was rebutting the man's teasing. She stood up quickly and pointed at the far wall to tell her experience. The man looked over there and then at Alice's serious expression before shaking his head and sighing.

"It seems that you are indeed not a normal person."

"There are walls, tell me where you come from?"

"Of course I know it's a wall. Did you see the hole...?"

Alice's eyes widened and she stared in disbelief at the wall where she was supposed to have made a big hole. There was no hole in the wall, and it looked completely as complete as the man said.

"I, but...I just started..."

Alice pushed the man away and ran to the wall and slapped it. It was not covered up or covered by magic, and the hole just disappeared out of thin air.

If there wasn't something wrong with this space, then there was something wrong with Alice herself.

"Am I under an illusion?"

This idea seems very reliable, Alice thought so, she felt that she was in an illusion, and the initiator of this illusion was probably this temple.

——TBC——

noun explanation time;

Echo: After the magician's incantation is recited, it will be connected with the caster's magic power, thus generating a magic reverberation (shown as an echo).The number of magic reverberations for an ordinary mage is basically 2 to 3 times.

Chapter 6: Adventures in the Temple

Alice felt that she might have been under an illusion, and all the evidence that could prove that she had escaped death had completely disappeared.

She believed that her encounter in the temple had no more than three possibilities. The first possibility was the fact that everything she experienced actually happened, including her previous escape.The second and third options are all illusions. The only difference between the two options is the time of the illusion.

"Is it when I recited the incantation? Or when I ran into this room?"

"When did I get the illusion?"

Alice stopped flapping, and instead supported her chin with her fingers, thinking hard.She knew the basic rules for breaking an illusion: find the trigger point or center point of the magic.

She needs to recall all the details that may have caused her to fall into the illusion. Since she doesn't know when she triggered the illusion, there is only one solution left: find the center point of the illusion, break it there, and the illusion will naturally be lifted.

What needed to be done was already very clear. Alice closed her eyes and cleared the unnecessary thoughts from her head. She did this when she needed to focus on something.

From now on, she has only one mission, and that is to escape from the illusion.

It's simple to say, but not so easy to implement.

Everything in the illusion may be a reflection of the caster, or it may be the fantasy of the person who is using the illusion.This shouldn't be her fantasy. If it were Alice, she would have been able to break the spell long ago. As for the mapping of the caster, it is somewhat possible.

"Center point, center point..."

The center point needed to break the spell is nothing more than the place where the magic power is concentrated.

Alice closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling the fluctuations of magic power. In the dark space, she found that the magic power was mainly located somewhere in the temple. She still remembered that it was the entrance to the temple.

By the way, that’s it!As long as she walks out of this temple, the barrier will be broken, and the illusion on her body will naturally be released.

Alice turned her head suddenly. Her fragile neck could not withstand such a violent twist. With a "click", she twisted her neck.

"You, come here."

Alice endured the pain and spoke to the man who had laughed at her earlier with a very expression on her face.The man walked from the statue with caring eyes, and finally stopped three steps away from Alice.

"Samuel."

The man who called himself Samuel stood there, his rose-red eyes scanning Alice up and down, and then he bent down and saluted, and the silver jewelry he wore collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
