077. For the truth (no protagonist)
"This is definitely inside the Frost Crown, and there will be no second answer!"
During the thirteen days of being trapped in the snow and ice, the bald mage Thomas and the thrift mage Bati had walked the space filled with ice and snow four times without finding the end.
A limited space cannot have ends and edges, which is abnormal and quite abnormal.
As a great wizard who specializes in spells and two magic factions in space, Thomas soon discovered the weirdness.
Planes, semi-planes, as long as they are not the highest plane, generally follow the most basic rules, the sky is round and the place (similar to the divine theory).
But the space in front of me, which had been explored four times, was obviously artificially blocked, creating a space loop and the effect of Panlos's ladder, becoming a closed space, jailing them in this ice and snow, like a prison.
Whether the overall environment of ice and snow or the closure of space that does not conform to normal laws, it all indicates the unusualness of this space, and these are exactly in line with the structural characteristics of the Frost Holy Crown.
"We must pass the message as soon as possible!" Thomas said, "Is the Eye of True Knowledge still unable to contact the Holy Land?"
"The joint blockade of Magic Net and the Frost Crown kept me receiving the prompts of failure, as if it was broken, but I knew it didn't." Barty said angrily, "The great mage who is good at space spells, what are you doing? Isn't this problem of closing space the best?"
Both of them are great wizards with the fourth level of strength. They are not afraid of ordinary cold. In addition, there is enough food in the space ring and they are confident that they can last at least fifteen days, but time does not wait for anyone.
The matter was already obvious. The battle for the dragon vein of Mosanghawk Island had long ended. The new master of the Frost Saint Crown imprisoned them. The reason why he did not release them was simply because he was afraid of the strength of the two.
Based on this point, it is not difficult for Thomas to infer that the new master's strength is below them, and it is highly likely to be level 3.
——If it is level 4, the opponent can use the power of the Frost Crown to separate them and kill them one by one, but the result is not. As for the church, ha, it is enough for them to survive until now to exclude the option of the church.
Based on the personnel situation at that time, after some analysis, the two quickly narrowed the scope to the five people, Talos, Bruce, Maeve, Dolores and Mural. After introducing intuition, the last two were excluded.
"Maeve can also rule out that she is the princess of the United Kingdom of Mermaid and Fishman, the next queen, and has no other competitors. Don't worry about the leak of the news. At least there is no need to hide it from Queen Frances VI. I can't think of a reason to keep us until now."
"The most likely people to obtain the Crown of Frost are Talos and Bruce. The former is likely to be the very critical figure in the prophecy of the Chief Bishop of Truth. After a Truth Enlightenment Ceremony, they are in a semi-awakened state, and as for the latter-"
"If it were him, I would definitely deal with us in the easiest way, such as starving to death, given the fact that there is no creature in the inner space of the Frost Crown."
Batty said that what Bruce, as a prince, lacks the most is patience and risk avoidance, which is almost an instinct engraved in the blood of the royal family.
Just spend a little time to kill two great mages, with zero risk. In his opinion, there is nothing more cost-effective than this.
The two discussed for a while, but there was still no solution. Barty finally made up her mind: "In fact, there is a way, and it is very likely that she can get in touch with the Holy Land."
"What?"
"One of the most basic functions of the Eye of True Know is real-time communication across planes—"
Thomas was stunned: "You mean...I understand!"
Barty reached out and grabbed his left eye. A scarlet eyeball appeared in his palm, and an inverted pentagonal pattern in his pupil: "Just destroy it, we can send the information and spatial coordinates we need to convey to the holy land."
The Eye of True Knowledge is a symbol of power and rank in the Light Society. Even though Bati is the lowest level, it is still given special power at the beginning of its creation.
While seeing hope, Thomas still had doubts: "But the internal space of the Frost Saint Crown was artificially blocked. Even if the effect was only one-third of the original, it might not be successful. Moreover, there is a magic net blockade in the outside world, cutting off the connection with the Black Star."
"Haha!" Barty chuckled twice, "Isn't there a ready-made sacrifice? I have a spell to sacrifice myself in exchange for an opportunity to break through the space barrier and the magic net blockade in an instant."
“What is the success rate?”
Sacrifices by people or other intelligent creatures as sacrifices on the main material plane are more or less linked to evil, but Thomas is not surprised by Batty's decision, as if sacrifices of the body and soul together are ordinary.
“70%!”
"Since that's the case, just increase the success rate to 95%. I think the effect of the two sacrifices must be better!" Thomas also made a choice between being exhausted and conveying important messages, "I am also a seeker of truth."
"good!"
The two members of the Illuminati who usually have some minor conflicts put aside their prejudice, reached a consensus, and worked together at this moment.
"For the truth!"
"For the truth!"
***
The world, the center lake.
Medusa snake plated at the bottom of the lake, wearing a frost crown, and its snake's hair squirmed. From a distance, it looked like a large ball of colorful aquatic plants, surrounded by three-eyed octopus swimming around with long tentacles.
Suddenly, the Frost Holy Crown vibrated slightly, and then returned to peace.
"Shit-"
The snake hair, which had just been fighting each other, wrapped around Medusa's neck, or resting with her body hanging down, opened its mouth and exposed its hideous poisonous fangs, and a terrifying and fierce light appeared in its eyes.
Medusa let out a scream, her eyes, which were usually full of charming charm, burst out with light, and her eyes were as if they were looking towards the water.
——Petrochemical!
The information sent by the two members of the Light Society sacrificed themselves and destroyed an Eye of True Knowledge to break through the Frost Crown was originally an invisible special signal, but under Medusa's innate ability, gradually transformed from "invisible" to "tangible", and turned into an S-shaped red light wave when it flew out of the water to the sky.
This scene was very strange, as if an invisible hand reached into the void and forced it out.
Not only that, according to theory, the light waves that had long been broken away from Medusa's sight were like a carriage trapped in a muddy swamp, and the speed became very slow.
The next second, an invisible vortex force field enveloped, and the light wave carrying spatial coordinates and important information was involuntarily thrown into it, shifting its original direction and destination, and finally falling into a huge mouth.
The giant python in the world!
