"If I agree to your proposal, I will betray my family."
"Very good, thank you for your trust in me."
Sfanny looked calm, not like she was committing any treason at all. Herbert on the opposite side was even more relaxed, as if he was discussing with her what to eat in the evening.
The dark elf handed a polygonal crystal to Herbert.
"This is?"
"And this is a special token of my family. You can find a way to send it to the dark area and just drop it off. My people will naturally understand what I mean."
Herbert took a look at it and put it away.
"good."
Naturally, he would not believe all of Sfanni's words, and he listened to half and believed the other half.
Sfanni is a master at manipulating flesh and blood. He dare not be careless at all. What if she hides something in this crystal and performs some limb regeneration in the outside world? That would be meaningless.
He would first ask Nenasha to help him identify it, and then hand it over to the higher-ups of the monastery.
"According to your prediction, when will your people return?"
"Within a month, if I'm not mistaken... it should be the time of the next blood moon."
"As for the blood moon... that should be three weeks from now."
In this world, a blood moon appears periodically every month.
During the blood moon, the Moon Goddess's power will be reduced to the lowest level, the suppression of evil forces will be weakened, and the dark creatures will be greatly enhanced under the blood moon.
A strong proof is that the day Herbert was possessed by the God of Harmony was the blood moon!
That was not a good day, oh...
After that, the two talked about some details about the possible personnel configuration of the other side. After confirming that there was basically nothing missed, Herbert nodded and stood up.
But he did not leave. Instead, he looked directly into Sifanny's eyes and said, "I want to enter the fourth area."
"Besides, this is not a discussion, but a notification."
After arriving at the tree house, he discovered that the gate leading to the fourth area was actually in the mezzanine of the tree house.
Sfanni occupied the center of the formation and was relying on special means to absorb the power from it.
Herbert had no way to deal with Sfanny before, but now with his level five authority, he can forcibly open the door to the fourth area.
Now we are not completely at odds with each other and are just forcing our way in, we are just trying to save everyone's face.
As for Herbert's implied meaning, Sfanny naturally understood it. She stood up and took him towards the revealed barrier.
"That's no problem, but Sir Herbert, please be careful... the two people in there are not as friendly as we are."
"Of course I know that."
friendly
Among you guys, who can be called friendly when you first meet each other
Just as he was about to leave, Herbert suddenly remembered something and took out a letter from his arms.
"By the way, please help me look at this letter."
"… This is?"
"My father sent it to me." Herbert's eyes looked a little strange, and he handed the letter to Sfanny:
"I don't know if there is a secret hidden in it, but if there is, I think you might know how to decipher it."
Herbert had no knowledge of cryptography and could not successfully learn it on his own in a short period of time.
Instead of wasting time and energy studying it yourself, it is better to directly find a professional who may understand it to decipher it.
"Okay, I'll check it out for you."
Sfanny took the letter, glanced at it and put it away. Then she looked at Herbert's back and asked softly, "So, do you hope there is some secret hidden in it?"
"… "
Herbert stopped walking, he didn't look back, he squinted his eyes and sighed softly.
"Who knows..."
Shaking his head, he raised his leg and took a step forward, walking into the barrier in front.
The next moment.
Herbert appeared in a purgatory made entirely of lava!
The third disciplinary institute, the fourth area.
Lava hell!
Before he could take in the surrounding situation clearly, his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly raised his head.
He saw a huge ball of lava flying straight towards him!
Oh shit!
So passionate!!!
Chapter 70 The First Life and Death Crisis (1/3)
Look at this ball, it's big and round.
Look at this fire, so red and bright.
Look at this... is this thing flying towards my head
The answer is yes.
crisis.
Since his memory awakened, Herbert felt the most urgent life-and-death crisis in history.
No matter how dangerous the evil god was, he could not control him to commit suicide.
No matter how violent the fire dragon was, it never attacked him actively.
No matter how beautiful the mermaid's singing was, it had no effect on him.
And now…
What those others can't do, this giant ball of lava can.
The scorching flames not only failed to kill Herbert, but also made him stronger.
But a block of lava with a diameter of more than three meters could kill him directly.
Smashed him into a meat patty, turning him into a second dimension again.
This is violence of pure quality.
Sure enough, when magic doesn't work, classical mechanics will have to take over in the end.
Herbert thought about this for a moment, and then realized what he should do most now.
run.
It is too late to manipulate the sealing formation now, and the portal to the endless maze will take time to open again.
So, there is only one choice before him now - run!
No matter what, we have to avoid this wave first!
Buzz—
At the critical moment of life and death, the holy marks and magic patterns engraved on the back of his hand lit up at the same time. The two forces rushed into his soul, forcing Herbert's consciousness to calm down.
Absolute calm, extreme coldness.
Herbert, who was in the right state, opened his mouth and took a deep breath, sucking a large amount of hot air mixed with a strong smell of sulfur into his chest.
"Boiling blood!"
Boom boom boom—
In an instant, his heart began to beat violently, the blood in his body was forcibly stimulated, his pupils dilated, and the flow of the world in front of him seemed to slow down.
rush!
He leaned forward, lowered his center of gravity, exerted force on his feet, and shot out like an arrow!
The boots on his feet melted under the high temperature and sank slightly into the semi-solidified lava, but he pulled them out before they were completely swallowed up.
Herbert ran quickly on the flames of death.
step.
Two steps!
Three steps!!!
Da da da da da!
Whoosh—
In less than two seconds, Herbert leaped five steps and rushed dozens of meters on the bumpy and hot lava.
Finally, he leaped forward.
Just as Herbert jumped up, there was a loud noise and a terrible impact behind him.
boom!!!
The moment the lava ball hit the ground, a huge fountain of magma erupted at the impact point.
The orange-red magma sprayed out in all directions like fireworks, flying high up, and then falling in all directions.
A huge depression was smashed into the ground, and the surrounding lava rippled, spreading in waves.
No.
What Herbert was standing on at the moment was not dry ground at all, but a pool of lava with only a slightly solidified surface!
After landing, Herbert rolled on the ground for several times in a somewhat awkward posture. He finally got rid of the speed and stood up quickly.
"Hahaha… "
Herbert looked at the lava ball slowly sinking behind him and let out a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
Damn, I almost sent it.
Herbert admitted that he had been a little careless.
Valentina was too obedient and easy to coax, Freme had been very cooperative except for the initial test, and Eliza was just a piece of trash and didn't need to be considered.
The only thing that was a little hard to figure out was Sfanni, who was not a combative person and chose cooperation instead of conflict.
To be fair, Herbert’s attack on the first three areas was a little too smooth.
Such smooth sailing did make Herbert a little slack and developed some wrong perceptions.
He subconsciously thought that all the monster girl prisoners would be easily controlled by him like them.
But the current situation told him with cruel facts that the truth was not so.
They may not be evil, but they are dangerous.
Extremely dangerous!!!
I managed to escape this time, but I only just managed to escape the range of certain death. If I had been any closer, I would have been nearly killed by the huge impact.
If I didn't have the explosive power of boiling blood, I would be in great danger this time.
Even if you don't die, you will be severely injured!
This distance of dozens of meters may not seem very far, but if Cao Zijian had his ability back then, why would he be writing poetry
joke.
He disappeared in seven steps!
After taking a few breaths, Herbert came out of his extremely rational state and his mood gradually recovered.
He got angry in a rage!
