It doesn't matter what the lord is.

The surging power fluttered his clothes, but Frey was not alert because this power was nothing in her eyes. A faint flickering white light seemed to be seen around Reed's body. Not long after, Reed took the initiative to collect the overflowing power.

There was nothing above, and the things in the outside world had nothing to do with this place. Fulei asked in confusion:

“What happened?”

Lid exhaled and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I'm just trying to mobilize my strength to see how much I've recovered. If there's any danger, I can protect you." Fulei smiled and said:

"Forget it, your realm is too low. Although you are not weak among humans, it is still too early for you to help me!"

Lid also smiled and nodded. He took a last look at the road that Shi Yuan was heading for, and was a little worried about whether the woman would be in danger if she acted alone. However, he did not have any feelings of pity for women, but just felt that it was a pity for the woman to die here. If he could use her as a hidden chess piece, he could find out more about the next move of the Abyss Church.

"Let's go."

Reed turned around, but at the moment he turned around, he seemed to see a stranger following him from the corner of his eye. Reed turned around and saw only Alaiya and Frey behind him.

Reed shook his head and continued walking forward.

55. Kill the person who shouldn’t be there

Without Nopres, Reed felt that his life suddenly became much better.

Acting with Nopress is like swimming with a heavy bomb on your back. You know it will explode one day, but you don't know when. When it explodes, it will kill you instantly, but even if it doesn't explode, it will still be a heavy burden that will drag you down with it.

Although there is still Frey, who has a high level of cultivation, Lid and Frey have a foundation of affection after all. This relationship cannot be said to be very good. After all, a dragon princess who grew up under the dragon education system will not maintain any cross-border feelings for a human like Lid.

But no matter what, Frey had no hostility towards Reed and Alayya, which instantly made the atmosphere of the entire team much better.

The cave was already eerie enough, so eerie that Lid always felt that something might jump out at any time. Whether it was a pile of meat, a baby with a swollen and twisted face, or a thorny creature with a mouth full of barbs like a lamprey, Lid would not be surprised. If it was Nopres instead of Frey next to him at this time, Lid would think that he might as well lie down and pretend to be dead.

Perhaps girls are naturally afraid of this kind of atmosphere. Even Frey, who has a high level of cultivation, dares to follow behind Lid carefully. "Are you okay with your injury?"

Fleur asked nonchalantly.

Lid didn't understand what she meant at first, and answered cautiously:

"It's okay. Thanks to Her Highness Frey, I feel fine now." Frey's breathing was a little rapid, and she said unreasonably:

"But I feel that your steps are still a little weak, probably because your injury has not healed fully. How about this, let me support you and walk." Frey stepped forward, walked shoulder to shoulder with Reed, and at the same time grabbed Reed's arm as if nothing had happened.

Reed then realized that Fulei's legs were trembling a little, and she almost dragged Reed to the ground. Fulei seemed to realize that Reed's small body could not withstand her tossing, her face flushed slightly, and she gently pinched Reed's sleeve and followed behind him.

Lid looked at Alaiya nervously, because he thought Alaiya might be afraid of these things, but he didn't expect Alaiya to be very strong.

Following closely behind Reed.

Reed thought about it and sang a song "Good Luck" to everyone to ease the terrifying atmosphere.

In fact, there was no deformed creature in front of him, only the fog that was gradually spreading. Lid was studying the surrounding environment when suddenly another sentence popped into his mind:

"Where is this? Why is there a smell of Kungu again? My whole ghost is in PTSD." The little ghost used the new words she learned when searching Reed's memory, and spoke vaguely. Reed's expression remained unchanged, and he communicated briefly with her through his consciousness:

"you're awake?"

"I was awake the whole time, but I just couldn't contact you before. It felt weird. We were still connected, but I called

When you, you have no response

How should I put it? It's like you and your girlfriend broke up, but you haven't blocked each other yet, but all the messages you sent are read but not replied. "

"Can you give me some earthly analogies?"

"But that's the truth. I thought you had another ghost outside and cried for a long time. So where is this place and how did you get in?" Lid was too lazy to explain and gave the memory retrieval permission to the little ghost temporarily. The little ghost looked at it for a while and complained:

"It's quite strange. I don't know why our connection was cut off before, and now it's back on track again."

Reed thought about it, but still had no clear answer.

The group continued to go deeper. Apart from the terrifying atmosphere, there was no danger here. Not even a buzzing mosquito in the summer could be seen.

For a moment, Lid was also worried that this road would go on forever. After all, the environment here was too safe, and Lid had always been willing to assume the worst of the three tribes. Unexpectedly, as they walked, the stone walls on both sides began to change, and the ancient murals began to show some things that had happened in the past.

The picture shows an evil dragon with nine heads, and the flames from its roar can destroy the world.

Countless cities were reduced to ruins, and countless humans were turned into charcoal. After a long time, it seemed that a team was formed. The team included not only humans, but also normal dragons, giants, elves, etc. These teams worked hard and finally came to the dragon after going through untold hardships.

Then, the team was wiped out.

For some unknown reason, the brave team that came before the dragon started to kill each other. Not a single one was left alive, and all were swallowed by the dragon.

The next scene shows a huge eye behind the dragon, and then the dragon roars fiercely, but is still restrained by some black blocks whose names cannot be seen on the mural. Then countless chains lock the dragon, and the dragon is still spewing flames with all its might.

Fulei looked at the mural and asked stupidly:

"The one with nine heads is the Ancestral Dragon of the Abyss? It looks so ugly. So my ancestor actually had nine heads?" Alayya was also looking at the mural, but her eyes were always fixed on the being with a halo above the head at the top.

The mural is relatively simple, and the figures on it have no faces, but the halo above the person's head and the wings behind him are clearly drawn on the mural. That person is obviously different from ordinary humans. She participated in the whole process, but she was just watching from the sidelines from beginning to end.

Lid reached out and touched the mural to confirm its age. The mural was not simply painted, but carved. However, Lid felt that it was not made by human hands, because the carving was too perfect, not like it was slowly polished by a chisel, but so perfect that it looked like it was carved by a machine.

Reed continued to look forward, but found that the mural ended when the evil dragon was sealed.

Finally, there was a stone door with a sentence written in bright red ancient characters on it: "Kill the person who shouldn't be here."

The door was tightly closed, as if it would never open unless the above conditions were met.

Lid looked at the words quietly, and suddenly thought of the "extra person" that he had often felt since he came down. He looked at Alaiya and Frey, and looked around, but did not find any suspicious clues. The fog was slowly spreading again. Lid could feel his danger radar sending out signals crazily, but he didn't know where the danger came from.

He could only call the little ghost in his heart, wanting to call it out to be on guard together, but he found that on this important occasion, the little ghost's connection with him was cut off again.

56.Answer

"Someone who shouldn't be here?"

Frey scratched her head in confusion, looked at Lid, and asked:

"Aren't we all keys left by the void? We went down to the abyss together, so why are there extra people?"

Here, Frey obviously still believed what Shiyuan said, and thought that the five people who went down to the abyss were the keys left by the void. But what she didn't know was that the real key was only held by Lid, and strictly speaking, the other four were considered "people who shouldn't be here."

Lid glanced at Alaiya, pulled Frey aside, and whispered:

"Your Highness, do you really want to know the answer to this question?"

Frey glanced at Alayya:

"Could it be her?"

Lid waved his hand quickly:

"What are you thinking about? After going down to the abyss, I saved my life and also inquired about what happened before. Shi Yuan said that I represent the void, my maid Alayya represents the old gods, and Shi Yuan represents Kungu, which makes up the top three tribes. In addition, we have to add the blood of the dragon clan, but in fact, the blood of the dragon clan can only have two people at most, and it would be better if... there is only one."

Fulei took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Lid said sincerely:

"Think about it, the Abyss Ancestral Dragon is a mixture of Kungu and dragon blood, with Kungu's blood accounting for at most half, and only one Shi Yuan came. Only Alayya and I came from the other two families of the upper three clans, but two people from the dragon clan came down... If the Abyss Ancestral Dragon knew about this, he would probably be unhappy."

Fleur nodded thoughtfully.

She said:

"What you said does make sense. But my second brother didn't take this path. How can we deal with it?" Lid said with a smile:

"Don't worry. I believe there are only two possibilities at the moment. Either something will go wrong with Nopres, or it will appear in front of us soon. Rather than this, I would like to ask Her Highness Frey to think carefully about whether Nopres has any weaknesses. If it comes, how should we deal with it?"

Fulei patted her chest and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Frey's fighting ability is actually much lower than that of Nopress, so she really needs to think about this issue carefully.

Seeing Frey lost in thought, Reed heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, if you ask who the person who shouldn't be here is, Reed always thinks it's not Frey or Nopres. It needs to be explained here that the "people" in ancient characters actually do not refer to simple humans, but all living beings in the world that can think, so Frey and Nopres are naturally included in them, but Reed instinctively thinks that this matter has nothing to do with her.

But Lid still had to draw suspicion to the two of them first, otherwise he couldn't guarantee whether Frey would use him and Alaya as a scapegoat. Although their relationship seemed good at the moment, facing the temptation of the Abyss Dragon, Frey might also waver.

This was a temporary measure, and Lid had to think of a new solution before the situation got worse. He went back and looked at the mural again.

The nine-headed dragon recorded on the mural should be the Abyss Dragon. The picture does not record how it was created. The first scene is that it is rampant in the world and destroys everything. From this, it can be seen that it should be in a violent state. In addition, its power is very strong. All races have formed a powerful coalition without any grudges, but they still cannot pose any threat to it.

The Abyss Ancestral Dragon should have been sealed here by the Void, so these murals and the words behind them should also have been left by the Void. Could the Void have foreseen such a distant future? Who was the person who shouldn't have appeared in the Void's eyes?

Without warning, Reed saw the woman with a halo on her head and wings behind her in the mural.

If the Void used Kungu and the Dragon Clan to create the Abyss Ancestral Dragon, why did the figure of the Old God appear in this mural?

What happened in the first place that made Kungu reseal the Abyss Dragon that he created? What role did the Old Gods play in this? If the Void did not voluntarily seal the Abyss Dragon, then the people who should not be here, are they the people of the Old Gods?

.….….

While Reed was lost in thought, Shiyuan and Nopress also reached the end of the road.

Shi Yuan was in the Abyss Church, and she must have seen everything that could cause SAN loss since she was a child. She had a high tolerance for this kind of environment, and could make it to the end alone.

At the end of the road, she also saw the mural. Shi Yuan placed her hand on the mural, pondered for a long time, and then continued to walk to the innermost part of the cave.

There is also a sentence in red on it:

"Pay the price for trying to get the skin of a tiger in the past."

Shi Yuan looked at this sentence, reached out and touched it, with doubt in her eyes. And Nopress was the slowest walker.

After watching Lid, Alayya, Frey and Shiyuan walk down the "wrong" path, Nopres not only did not feel relieved, but always felt that something was not right. The environment here was also very gloomy. Nopres tried to use dragon fire to light up the front, but the darkness could always swallow up its flames.

Nopres saw the mural and the nine-headed dragon on it, and felt vaguely familiar. But his brain was not so good, so he couldn't figure out any ideas for a while, so he just kept going.

The sentence it saw was simple:

"Only those who have the courage to face death can obtain the throne."

Nopres looked at this sentence and suddenly felt that it was very similar to what he had heard Princess Dongli say before:

"When I lead the army to war, I never think about whether I will die. I will rush to the front and crush the enemy with the dragons behind me. If the battle goes well, I will annihilate the enemy. If the battle goes badly, only when I die can the other dragons retreat. I have no way out, just like the dragons have no way out. We are a race that relies on conquest to survive. Not daring to take risks is like waiting for death for us."

Nopres looked carefully at the words on the wall, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

It kept groping around for the mechanism, and when it was sure there was only this sentence, it did not get anxious, but relaxed. It believed that this was a test for it.

The Abyss Dragon has the "power to resurrect the dead", which it has "witnessed" from Lid. Lid, who was "dead" before entering the abyss, was resurrected calmly after entering the abyss. This is enough to show that there is actually no real life and death here. This is a hell for the living and a world for the dead.

Nopress took a deep breath and felt himself becoming inexplicably excited.

This excitement makes it feel neither fear nor pain.

Time passed by minute by minute. After a few hours of stalemate, Nopres finally took action with red eyes. He placed his hand on his chest, and the sharp claws unique to the dragon race flashed with a sharp cold light.

Before long, blood splattered on the wall with the words written on it, and the red blood covered the red words. A low sneer seemed to be heard in the air.

57. The boundary between reality and fantasy

When Lid was thinking hard, he suddenly heard the voice of the little ghost again: "I say, your signal is not very good, why did you lose the connection again?"

Lid replied helplessly:

"Don't blame me, it's you who's offline. I called you for a long time but you didn't respond." The little ghost came out of Lid's body and raised a small sign angrily:

"But I've been calling you for a long time! You can hear me, right? You just don't want to reply me. Are you afraid that I, a little ghost, will disturb your world of three? [(a " a)9]"

Looking at the little ghost spinning around in front of him, Reed didn't say anything, but began to ponder.

The little ghost called Lid twice. What she didn't know was that Lid was now in a state of suspicion: Could the person who shouldn't be here actually be referring to the little ghost?

From Shi Yuan's information, we can learn that before Lid was reincarnated into this world, this body had a close connection with the void. However, the little ghost was left behind by Lid on his own initiative when he was in the underwater temple. He engraved the spell of the living mechanism on this body and forcibly saved the little ghost's life.

Could it be that the Void is dissatisfied with this?

If that's the case, if we want to escape from danger, is it enough to just make the little ghost disappear?

Once this thought came to him, it immediately lingered like a thorn in his flesh. Reed looked at the little ghosts swaying around him, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. He couldn't help but put his hand on the engraving of the living mechanism and slowly tightened it.

But then, Reed suddenly woke up again, and the strength in his hands lightened.

He frowned and looked at his hands, not understanding why he had such a thought just now. The dead cannot be resurrected, and the little ghost cannot come back if it is gone.

After coming out of the underwater temple, the little ghost has always been Lid's right-hand man through many life and death situations. Not to mention relying on his own guesses, even if there is evidence, Lid should weigh the importance of the little ghost and the Abyss Dragon.

Lid shook his head, relying on reason to temporarily suppress all his emotions, and said to the little ghost: "Have you seen this mural?"

The little ghost replied:

"I have seen it. I was still here at that time, and I was also looking at these murals. When I came to my senses, you didn't respond when I called you. [p(*`一)4] "Is that so..."

Reed narrowed his eyes and just fell into deep thought when he suddenly heard Frey's scream coming from deep in the cave, followed by an earth-shaking movement.
