While the silver-gray long sword was shaking slightly, Rhine suddenly appeared behind the unclosed gate, leaving only a phantom that slowly disappeared, and said in a funny and good-tempered way: "Have you also met that monster that can truly pretend to be someone else? "
There was a little relaxation in his tone, as if confirming that Lucien was real.
Lucien looked at him vigilantly. After re-buffing the mechanized mind and spiritual barrier, he was still rational and calm, and did not really attack directly: "Mr. Rhine, how can I be sure that you are real?"
At least you have to come up with irrefutable facts, otherwise it is better for everyone to go their own way.
Rhine pulled the door and refused to let it close, and said with a smile: "I understand that breath, blood, flesh, memory, etc. can't tell whether it's a monster's disguise. I was injured because of this before, but one thing, I believe that unless the monster is God of truth, otherwise it would never be able to imitate."
"What is it?" Lucien vaguely guessed Rhine's answer.
A pair of huge bat wings emerged from the back of the rhine red coat, and a faint silvery white moonlight lit up, condescending, detached God-like aura came, making it seem like a real silver moon was rising in the gray hall: "It is the breath of the ancestors, that Monsters definitely can't pretend to be god-like, and the breath of your left hand makes me know that you are not fake."
Sensing the familiar Aitna's breath, Lucien let out a light breath, unreservedly revealing the silver moon and the mysterious presence of the Necromancer world left in his left hand: "Well, I believe you are Rhine Sir, if monsters can imitate the god-like breath, then I will not be able to escape without being deceived."
Rhine coughed twice, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Although vomiting blood is a serious injury for a vampire, he smiled nonchalantly: "Being cautious is a normal choice, I was just careless for a while."
"The monster I met was disguised as you, what about you?" Lucien put away the sword of truth, but did not put down the shield of truth, maintaining a vigilant attitude.
Rhine coughed twice again: "It's disguised as another prince of the blood clan, the one who has a good relationship with me."
"Oh, from this point of view, the monster can not only pretend to be the life that has entered the 'Gray Labyrinth', but also simulate other strong people." Lucien said doubtfully, what is the basis for this
"Gray labyrinth" is Lucien's name for the gray hall and black door.
"The Gray Labyrinth? Haha, this is called the 'World of Doors', at least that's what the legendary magicians who disappeared here called it." Rhine corrected Lucien's naming, "I suspect that this 'World of Doors' is weird, Perhaps our memory cannot be kept secret here, so the monster disguised him from my memory."
Memory cannot be kept secret, so what about the secret that I came from the earth? What about the soul library? Lucien frowned and thought about this serious question. Will he see that monster imitating Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Gundam, Super Saiyan, Star Destroyer, and Retraction Cannon later
It's a wonderful world...
"The World of Doors? Mr. Rhine, have you found what Viken and the others left behind?" There was no way to discuss the matter of the Soul Library with Rhine, so Lucien asked another important point.
Rhine shook his head: "I came here after tracking the mysterious fragments in Sard's body. Before the attack, I only found a few shreds of paper with some records on them."
He didn't hide anything, took out some gray papers and "flyed" them to Lucien.
Cautiously catching it with the "Mage's Hand", Lucien hastily browsed through it: "... There are literally countless black doors here, and behind each door there may be surprises, of course, or dangers, we will let them Named 'The World of Doors'…”
"... We stumbled upon some strange creatures a few doors down, they seemed to have similarities with our previous research, and if we hadn't already had some research results, we might never have found them..."
"... maybe we can find a way to get in there by studying these creatures..."
"...as if someone has been in here before..."
Lucien was very familiar with the handwriting on two of the papers, one was that of McLeod he saw just now, and the other was that of "Prophet" Maskelyne.
"Strange creatures, are there a lot of those monsters?" Lucien said with his scalp tingling, thinking about the contents of the last scrap of paper. Has anyone ever entered? Before Maskeline them
Rhine closed the black door, took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "Impossible, if there are many monsters, there is no chance for Maskelyne and the others to find them and take notes so easily."
What he meant was that Maskelyne and the others should have been wiped out not long after they came in. After all, their strength is not as good as him who can summon the silver moon, and there are so many people that it is very easy for monsters who are good at camouflage to have a chance.
"That's right, even you, Mr. Rhine, were seriously injured by the sneak attack." Lucien nodded lightly, "By the way, Mr. Rhine, what is the strength of the monster you encountered?"
Rhine folded the handkerchief and put it in his coat pocket: "The peak of legend, the real peak of legend, I summoned the power of the ancestor to repel it, but if it wasn't for my momentary carelessness, if I couldn't beat it, I would still be able to escape. "
After a pause, he smiled and said humorously: "I am a man of the third rank of legend."
"Why did the monsters I encountered only have the second-level legend?" Lucien was quite puzzled by this, "Could it be that we encountered different monsters?"
"If they are different monsters, why do they all happen to be one level higher than our own strength?" Rhine was keenly aware of doubts, "Except for the ability to summon the ancestors, I am the third level of legend, and without the equipment improvement part, you should just Is it at the level of a legendary level?"
Being here, he didn't know the time comparison with the outside world, so he wasn't sure if Lucien, a "monster" with an unimaginable advancement speed, had already advanced to the second level of legend.
Lucien had that strange sense of familiarity again. He seemed to have encountered this kind of situation before, but he couldn't find any encounters that met the conditions. He could only ponder: "Yes, the first level of legend. Maybe it's because of something There are special restrictions, the monster can only display the strength one level higher than the target?"
"It's possible." Rhine smiled as usual, as if encouraging Lucien to continue guessing.
Lucien suddenly had an idea, and looked at Rhine with a smile: "Mr. Rhine, if this inference is true, you said that when the two of us act together, will we encounter one monster or two monsters? level of strength, or the level of a legendary peak?"
"It should be a monster at the peak of legend." Rhine thought for a while and replied.
Lucien looked away "coldly": "Then let's go separately."
"I'm sorry, I'll always be on the same road as you." Rhine replied equally humorously, "And an experienced observer who knows the secrets is very useful here. Besides, it was just a guess just now."
Lucien smiled and said: "I'm also worried that I will encounter monsters at the peak of legends when I act alone, so it's better to have Mr. Rhine as your back, I don't think there will be any god-level monsters... Well, Mr. Rhine, I don’t plan to continue exploring, I’m going to return, it’s not far from the entrance, it’s just like a dozen black doors, do you want to come together?”
"I was seriously injured, so it's obviously not suitable for me to stay any longer." Rhine took out a light green puppet arm, "Fortunately, I met you, a guy who knows the law of coordinate changes, otherwise I don't know how long I will be groping. For what you pay, the stand-in doll components made by McLeod's unique method, analyzing it can give you a lot of money."
Observing the environment and summarizing the rules are the strengths of magicians, and arcanists are particularly good at magicians, and Rhine himself is very self-aware.
Lucien's face turned green immediately, and he became alert again: "Mr. Rhine, put the puppet's arm on the ground."
"What's the matter? Just now you were deceived by the gift of the puppet arm?" Rhine smiled happily, and threw the puppet arm on the ground indifferently, watching Lucien pick it up with the "mage's hand".
After getting it in his hand, Lucien recognized that it was the other arm of the puppet, which happened to be a set.
Slightly relaxed, Lucien pushed open the black door behind him, and what appeared in front of him was a familiar gray hall with silvery-white magic pattern remnants on the ground.
"No, it's not the previous one." Lucien quickly discerned that the complex magic pattern formed as a whole was another part of the hexagram.
"Huh, shredded paper?" Rhine also found a piece of light gray fragment, and directly showed it to Lucien: "No"!
This is similar to the fragment that said "Devil" before, revealing a kind of hysterical madness and fear. Lucien found the right leg of the puppet while memorizing the complex magic patterns.
Lucien, who collected the three parts of the puppet at once, was not happy. Instead, he was very puzzled and solemn: "Why are these fragments and puppet components waiting for us to discover?"
"There are too many halls in the world of doors, and the monsters may not be able to find all of them." Rhine guessed the possibility.
Lucien shook his head: "Then why can it find us accurately?"
…
In the gray hall, Douglas and Fernando walked steadily, surrounded by countless warning magic.
"Apart from the hall and the black door, is there anything else here?" Fernando looked around. Are there no dangers or monsters? That makes people even more vigilant, this is the deepest part of the Necromancer world, where many legendary magicians are missing!
Douglas looked around: "The position changes quickly, but it conforms to the coordinate change law left by Maskelyne, but in this way, it will be difficult to meet Lucien, we can only make secret marks along the way, let him Find out and go out on your own, and leave us the same secret."
"He must have been hiding nearby for a while and then returned to the entrance. We can calculate the time." Fernando vaguely guessed his student's plan after noticing that the location of the hall changed quickly.
While talking, he used magic to open a black door.
…
"Sense of life breath?" Rhine speculated again.
Before the words were finished, the two raised their heads at the same time, looking at a black door warily, which was slowly opening.
