Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Arash smiled and patted the knight's shoulder armor like a good friend.

The iron shoulder armor made several clear slapping sounds as the former hit it.

Although Arash didn't know why the knight named Bedivere was in such a low mood, fortunately, through simple communication, he was able to successfully cheer the other party up.

Whatever the reason, at least the result is not bad.

Bedivere nodded to the boy, then turned and looked seriously at Arash beside him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Arash. I have benefited greatly from our conversation just now. I will always remember your teachings."

"Aha, it's not that serious. I just expressed my personal opinion."

The knight's seriousness made Arash feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he never expected that his casual action would be so respected by the other party.

"But it's great that I can help you."

After saying that, Arash looked towards the square.

At this moment, the villagers had already taken the distributed rice back home to store food, and the first batch of villagers who returned home had already completed this process and returned to the square again.

They came back here not to ask for rice again, but to express their gratitude to the generous Tawara Tota.

The master and disciple, who were originally greeting each other, were immediately surrounded by this group of grateful villagers.

Looking at Sanzang who was a little bit at a loss and Tawara Tota who was busy responding to the villagers' gratitude, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 58: The Old Man in the Mountain

"That's all I know. As for anything more about the First Generation, I don't know."

Just a few minutes ago, he asked a question to one of the "Hassans", the Smoking Hassan, and successfully obtained the information he wanted from him.

It was not until Yanzui Hassan revealed the truth that Xuer learned the true situation of the mausoleum.

"Understood, the information has been confirmed."

After hearing what Yan Zui said, Xiu Er looked up.

However, Xiuer's mood was completely different from his apparent calmness.

He looked up at the mountain in front of him, his inquiring gaze reaching the top of the mountain, where the sacred temple was located.

The scenery seen in the "Sky Eye" before is still vivid in my mind.

Judging from the appearance alone, the temple has nothing special about it except that it is a bit cold and gloomy.

But it was this seemingly ordinary temple that made him feel the "fear" that penetrated deep into his soul.

Normally speaking, without sufficient intelligence, Xuel would not take the risk of approaching this building that gave him a strong sense of crisis.

But now it’s different. Through the information revealed by Yanzui, Xuer was able to uncover the mystery of this temple.

The true name of that mausoleum is "Temple of Azrael".

Obviously, the name of this temple is a reference to the name of Azrael, the angel of death.

And in this building, just as he thought, there indeed lived a powerful being.

That is the founder of the entire "Hassan" sect, the first generation "Old Man of the Mountain", Hassan among Hassans, or to call him "the King among Hassans" is also in line with this status.

No one knows the real name of this first generation, and few people in the world know of the existence of this first generation "Hassan". Even the believers of the "Hassan" sect do not know the true face of this person, and there is even no "evidence" of his existence.

For an assassin, never revealing his real name is a proof of his strength.

Although Yanzui Hassan agreed to reveal the truth, the specific content was that she was not fully aware of the strength of the first generation.

She only knew that the first generation's strength was a mountain that she and others could not reach.

After all, before becoming a heroic spirit, Yanzui, like other living Hassans, was unaware of this person's existence.

Xiuer could only learn from them what the "First Hassan" was like in the hearts of these younger generations.

That is, it will appear when the contemporary "Hassan" goes astray, and will directly cut off the head of the negligent "Hassan".

Therefore, for every generation of "Hassan", seeing the first generation of adults means seeing "death".

Only then did Xiuer understand why Yanzui and Zhuwan showed such fear towards the temple.

It feels like the older generation in a family dealing with the younger generation who have gone astray.

But this was the most information Yanzui could provide. From Xiuer's perspective, the useful information was negligible.

Fortunately, the veil of mystery was broken, and the puppet's [Temple Exploration Plan] was changed to the [First Generation Hassan Contact Plan] due to the update of intelligence.

It was difficult for him to just give up on such a powerful individual.

"So was my answer sufficient?"

Yanzui was a little surprised. She could clearly feel that this puppet, who usually had a calm mood, actually showed some "excitement" at this moment.

And this "excitement" was undoubtedly directed towards the mausoleum.

"affim."

Although he was a little excited in his heart, Xiuer was still able to do the superficial work perfectly.

"Well, I want to ask, what are you going to do next?"

For some reason, an inexplicable feeling of unease suddenly arose, making Yanzui curious about the other party's next move.

"..."

The puppet was silent for a second.

He looked up at the top of the mountain again, then looked away and continued to look at Yanzui.

"Answer: Contact the original Hassan."

Snapped!

As soon as Xiuer finished speaking, a loud slap followed.

This movement came from Yanzui who slapped himself on the forehead as if he had heard some shocking news.

The force was so great that even the skull mask on his face was almost shaken off.

"I suddenly feel a little regretful about telling you about the first generation..."

"No, I can tell a lie."

"Ugh……"

Yanzui sighed deeply, feeling very tired.

She now wants to leave here and stay away from this doll for a while, for the sake of her physical and mental health.

"Forget it, I won't ask any more questions. It's none of my business from now on, right?"

Yan Zui has somewhat understood Xiuer's "stubbornness", at least she feels that it is impossible for her to change his decision.

In this case, there is no point in worrying about it.

"affim."

"If it's alright, I'll leave first?"

"Ah."

The puppet responded calmly.

It can be seen that his attention is no longer on the person next to him.

"You...ah, please don't do anything too offensive to the first generation."

Seeing this, the exhausted Yan Zui immediately said goodbye to Xiuer. She didn't want to stay there any longer.

She was not worried about whether the other party heard it clearly, because she believed that the other party must have heard it.

Xiuer didn't care about Yanzui's departure. His eyes were fixed on the top of the mountain since he said goodbye to him.

With the information provided by the latter, he was able to confirm his next plan.

However, the implementation of this plan should also be accompanied by an "insurance".

—【Opening】—……

As the ability was activated, the shadow under Xuul suddenly expanded and was instantly covered by a dark golden energy.

Then, a dark object emerged from his expanding shadow and quickly condensed and took shape.

In the blink of an eye, an individual who looked exactly like Xuer in appearance, expression and movements appeared beside him.

The two pairs of golden eyes met, Xiuer stepped back a few steps to make way, and the other "Xiuer" nodded silently.

"You go."

"clear."

There was no need for much exchange between the two; as their selves in other "times", the latter naturally knew what the other was thinking.

After a brief conversation, the clone immediately took off and flew straight to the top of the mountain.

……

call--

The cool breeze from the top of the mountain blew on Xuer's face, and his thick blue-purple hair fluttered in the wind behind the doll.

At this time, it was almost dusk and the sky was gradually getting darker.

At this moment, Xuer was in front of the temple on the mountain top.

As Yanzui Hassan said, walking up the steep mountain road to the top of the mountain is also a necessary process to meet the person in the temple. It is a "test" as well as a "pilgrimage."

But in Xiuer's opinion, hiking up the mountain was still a waste of time, so he chose to "take a shortcut."

pat.

The puppet slowly landed outside the temple gate, its feet lightly stepping on the rock and soil eroded by years of wind. The dust under its feet was blown around by the wind pressure.

The tightly closed door prevents outsiders from peeking inside.

"Traces of time" are found throughout the building, allowing one to feel the rich history of this mausoleum at a glance.

The puppet slowly walked to the front of the gate. Its relatively petite figure looked particularly small in front of this stone door.

His slender arms made people wonder whether he could push this tall stone door.

The golden eyes suddenly glowed with golden light.

The golden light suddenly illuminated the area covered by shadows.

"Analyzing..."

Compared to the previous perspective of the third eye, this was the first time that Xuer personally walked to the front of this temple.

The different perspectives will lead to different sensory experiences.

He still remembered that the intense "fear" had arisen when he was trying to explore the interior of the building.

Therefore, in conclusion, merely analyzing the external appearance of the temple will not cause us to pay attention to what exists inside.

"Um……"

The analysis progressed quickly, and the results showed that it contained a huge amount of magical reaction.

There is no doubt that the first generation Hassan who was among them was indeed as Yanzui said, possessing a power that they could not reach.

If such a being exists, what would its "Noble Phantasm" be like?

Thinking of this, Xiuer's curiosity became even stronger. After all, because of his previous experience, he did not use the Whispering Chapter to investigate.

Right now, his primary goal is to try to contact him and test his attitude.

This heavy stone door is actually nothing to Xuer.

Crack, boom—

As the puppet moved, a golden energy immediately mixed into the stone gate.

Then, driven by energy, the heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside to the former.

A dark cold wind blew from inside towards the door, brushing against Xuer's body. The extremely cold gusts made him feel a sense of yin.
