With a trace of apprehension, the first Mayfair slowly followed behind the second Mayfair. She couldn't help losing her mind when she saw her majestic costume of the temple guard.
"Are you scared?" Second Mayfair suddenly asked in a low voice... without looking back.
"No..." First Mayfair shook his head, and said with a self-deprecating tone, "I just suddenly realized that I actually look pretty good in this set of guard uniforms... I've never worn them before."
The first Mayfair, she had already escaped from the temple the day before she officially passed the assessment for the members of the guards... She couldn't figure out why the other self, the second Mayfair, was already an official member of the guard, and even the deputy of the guard. team leader.
"You really want to wear this suit?" The second Mayfair turned around this time.
The first Mayfair opened his mouth, looked at the eyes of the second Mayfair, and subconsciously said, "You...don't you know why?"
"I know." The second Mayfair smiled and said, "Because her father was also a member of the temple guards. Since she was very young, Mayfair has admired her father very much, and her dream is to grow up In the future, I will also become a member of the Temple Guard."
They seemed to have only this topic that they could talk to... Then they were silent, and walked in the middle of the temple, avoiding the patrolling guards one by one.
Finally, they walked out of the temple together...and came to the end of the trial road behind the temple.
"Here?" The first Mayfair subconsciously looked at the second Mayfair.
She said: "This is the road of trials... It is also the place to start. Do you know why you have to pass the road of trials if you want to become a tribal village?"
The first Mayfair didn't even think about it: "Because only those who pass the road of trials are the best elves, and they are able to shoulder the future of the entire tribe. This has been the case since ancient times."
The second Mayfair suddenly said: "Then do you think that the current village chief can be called the most outstanding elf... Is he wise enough and brave enough?"
The first Mayfair subconsciously said: "I don't know... I don't have much contact. But since he is already the village chief, it is enough to prove that he has passed the road of trial and has sufficient ability."
"What if I say that the current village chief hasn't actually gone through the trial...he just deceived everyone?" Second Mayfair said abruptly.
"What are you talking about? Grandpa the village chief... this is impossible!" The first Mayfair said in disbelief, "How could he deceive everyone!"
"Why not." Second Mayfair said indifferently: "As long as someone pretends to be his identity, in the eyes of everyone, and completes the three tests of the trial road, isn't it all right?"
"Who!" First Mayfair asked subconsciously.
"Father." The second Mayfair said in a deep voice, "The man who married his mother and left you...my man, he successfully completed the trial."
This is something she... the first Mayfair never knew.
"This... But?" The first Mayfair was a little unbelievable, "For what... pretending?"
"In order to gain the power to defeat the envoy." The second Mayfair breathed out lightly, "You know, as a sacrifice, it is impossible to marry the opposite sex who loves each other... unless someone, on top of the sacrifice, successfully Only by defeating the envoy can the sacrifice be taken away. Father knows very well that the power of the envoy is definitely not something he can handle, so the road to trials is his only hope."
"Isn't it absolutely forbidden for the members of the temple guards to challenge the road of trial... So, why do you have to pretend to be the grandfather of the village chief?" The first Mayfair reacted instantly.
The second Mayfair nodded and said: "Only in this way can we avoid the sight of the temple. Besides, my father doesn't care about the fact that he can become the village chief after completing the trial road. What he cares about is defeating the gods." Even... in the end, it can also deceive people."
The first Mayfair shook his head, subconsciously said: "I have never heard of the power that can be obtained through the road of trials."
"Of course." The second Mayfair said indifferently: "Because the current village chief was not passed by himself at all, he was just lucky enough to be selected by his father, and he was elected as the new village chief without enough qualifications at all. The village chief... Naturally, he will not know what kind of strength he will be able to live after walking the road of trials. In fact, you can be a fake village chief, and he is indeed the same."
Saying that, the second Mayfair walked directly out of the totem stone pillar at the back door of the temple... The first Mayfair hurriedly chased after seeing this.
She even caught up quickly, but now she was greeted by a thick white fog, and she could barely see her...another self.
The second Mayfair suddenly said at this time: "These totem poles were built by the goddess [Prama] to resist the spread of these white mist... Do you know who created these white mist? You should As far as I can think of, in this tribal world, who does the power that the goddess [Prama] dread belong to?"
"[Golitan]!" First Mayfair couldn't help exclaiming at this time: "Another legendary sleeping goddess!"
Saying so, a passageway was suddenly opened in the white thick fog, and then they saw a statue... The third stage of the trial road, a statue that would ask the challenger questions.
At this moment, looking at the blindfolded, chained female statue in front of him like a sinner, First Mayfair backed away in fear.
"[Golitan's Goddess Statue]..." Second Mayfair said slowly at this moment: "She died here and became this statue."
"Her? Who?"
"Who else?"
"Goddess... Golithan!"
…
…
Captain Malik's patience almost made Dr. Gers despair. He had already started talking about Jesus, but he just talked so much, and then under the interest of Captain Malik fiddling with various instruments of torture, he quickly talked about [ Chessboard] thing.
Even the servants, masters, etc. At this time, Dr. Geers seemed to care about what he could say and what he couldn't say, but he wanted to protect himself.
"...That's about it." Dr. Geers finally breathed out: "We have no choice now. The only thing we can do is to solve the Mayfair time-backtracking matter before we can leave here...leave [today], Otherwise, we may all be trapped in [today].”
Captain Malik was silent.
Dr. Geers said: "I know this is difficult for creatures like you [chessboard] to accept... you think the world in front of you is the whole world, but you never thought that this whole world is just a plaything in the hands of others. , even my own life and death are just to please others... You don't seem to be surprised at all?"
Captain Malik said indifferently: "Someone once said the same thing as you."
"Who?" Dr. Geers asked subconsciously.
Captain Malik glanced at it indifferently, and said slowly: "It's a guy named Geralt, just like you, who claims to be from the world outside the [chessboard]."
"Geralt... old fellow Sneff's accomplice back then?" Dr. Geers opened his mouth, and said immediately: "No, even if Geralt really told you this back then, but in Mayfair Backtracking, you shouldn't remember anything... No, you said, you know how to kill me for real, even if you go back in time, I won't come back! So you knew about Murphy from the very beginning. You even know that two Mayfairs will appear at the same time [today] at the same time. I understand... so it is!"
"What do you understand?" Captain Malik narrowed his eyes.
Dr. Geers said slowly: "I understand why you didn't expose Mayfair when you first opened the door of the inner hall, but later you attacked her and imprisoned her when you planned to let her go."
"Tell me."
Dr. Geers said: "Because in front of the gate of the inner hall, you were not sure which Mayfair appeared in front of you and which Mayfair fell to the ground, so you didn't do anything. You took her away to the remote place. The purpose of saying that on purpose, and even wanting to let her go, is to determine who she is... As long as Mayfair's answer is not what Mayfair, the vice-captain of the temple guard, should answer, you can be sure …and then do it. But you don’t seem to want Mayfair, who is the vice-captain, to know that you actually know that she can go back in time?”
"Some people say that smart people die quickly." Captain Malik said blankly: "It seems that you are not far from death."
"You don't want to kill me." Dr. Geers said quickly at this time: "If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me long ago, let alone bring me to this place, asking me so Many problems because, you remember clearly, the thing that sent me to the inner temple. Now, the time of Mayfair has gone back, and I have also gone back... So, for you, I am also special. You should , What else do you want to get from me... As long as I have some value to you... Actually, I mean, I can cooperate with others, such as you."
"It's time." Captain Malik sneered at this moment.
In the dimness, his palm slowly stretched out... all the way to Dr. Geers' head, and he grasped it tightly.
Dr. Geers even had the feeling that his head was about to be crushed by the other party... It felt as if his skull would shatter at any moment. The pain was so great that he had to scream out.
"It's time to go to the grand ceremony." Captain Malik said slowly.
He lowered his hand, and Dr. Geers' head dropped directly.
…
…
The road to trials, the third level... [Goddess Statue of Golithan].
Listening to the second Mayfair's narration, the first Mayfair seemed to have thought of something, and blurted out: "Who... Who killed the goddess [Golitan]? According to legend, the goddess [Pramah] and the goddess [ Golithan] together created the homeland of our elves."
"The ones who can kill the gods are naturally only the gods."
"It's the goddess [Prama]... how is this possible?" The first Mayfair said in horror, "They, they are sisters!"
The second Mayfair said indifferently: "What do you think the outside world... the world other than Sen Ling is like?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it before." The first Mayfair shook his head, and then said: "Maybe it's a very prosperous place, there are many human beings, and there are things that they have never seen before, and they will live happily." Very happy, there are a lot of delicious things... candy and so on."
Who... who said something similar to me
When Mayfair said this, for some reason, he had a feeling of deja vu.
"It's a beautiful world." The second Mayfair shook his head: "But the truth is not so beautiful... The outside world is being dominated by a terrifying force, which changes everything in the outside world at will." The rules are like a supreme and true god. The whole world has become a puppet of this power... In the end, this power will even invade here. The hometown of elves was created by two goddesses. Said, like a child. Therefore, in order to resist the rule of this mysterious force, the goddess [Prama] made a decision."
The first Mayfair was startled subconsciously, tremblingly said: "What decision..."
The second Mayfair said: "Give the life and strength of a goddess to resist the invasion of this terrifying force that dominates the entire world... Because of this, the goddess [Golitan] died in the hands of her beloved sister [Pull]. Rama's hand."
"Goddess... the goddess we have been worshiping for a long time, actually..." First Mayfair turned pale at this time, "actually killed another goddess... the goddess who created our hometown of elves together..."
"It's hard to accept, isn't it?" Second Mayfair said quietly, "For all elves... such a goddess [Prama] is like a sinner. Yes, such a goddess [Prama], Is it still worth being worshiped by the elves?"
"Also... just to keep the elf tribe alive..." First Mayfair trembled: "In order for the elves to survive, not to be dominated or enslaved, everyone... everyone will understand..."
"Everyone will understand...forgive me." The second Mayfair smiled pale at this time, looking at the first Mayfair with a sad expression: "Do you know that [Pramah] killed his sister, the goddess [Song] with her own hands? When Litan], I said the same thing...even with your expression now, it's the same."
The first Mayfair backed away in fear... She subconsciously looked up at the [Goddess of Gloria] in front of her, as if she had been tortured from the depths of her soul, and collapsed on the ground.
"You...why do you know this..." First Mayfair looked at his other self in a daze.
"Why?" The second Mayfair walked in front of the first Mayfair, "You said... why? Because, I am the power my father got on the road of trials."
At the same time, on Second Mayfair's forehead, black patterns began to bloom slowly.
