I don't know where the whimper sound came from, but strands of heat rose from Raymond's feet. While dispelling the cold, it quickly condensed into white mist. In an instant, it attracted Raymond's sight. Become blurred...

I simply entered warmth from the extreme cold. My body, which was still on guard before, naturally relaxed. The advent of sleepiness also made him feel comfortable and comfortable, and the sleepiness that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart also made him feel comfortable and comfortable. Want to sleep soundly.

Raymond, whose vision was already blurred, could not help but close his eyes slowly. While his body relaxed, he was tired like a tide. The softness around him seemed to make him in the warm and comfortable down quilt. Inside, you just need to fall asleep to rest with peace of mind!

The smile that slowly raised the corners of his mouth was like a sign before entering a dream. Soon Raymond completely relaxed and entered the dream. While his breath gradually calmed down, everything around him changed. It needs to be floating and relaxed...

In the stone steps that have been restored to tranquility, the spiral stone steps are gradually changing. The originally solid stone steps have become soft, while the sleeping Raymond leans against the wall with a smile. It slowly sank, and its feet sank into the stone steps, as if there was soft quicksand underneath it, and the invisible suction was trying to swallow him.

On the wall behind him, a thin slit suddenly appeared with the rippling ripples. As the gap gradually expanded, a pair of closed pupils inside him also appeared, facing the face of Raymond's back had inexplicable emotions.

Time seemed to be delayed at this moment. The parts below the knees were all swallowed by the stone steps, and the stone steps began to gather and merge with each other. And the upper and lower parts seemed to be The straight passage wall also became softer, and the entire passage was closed during squirming and twisting, eventually forming a closed space.

But just when a hint of joy appeared in Raymond's pupils peeking from behind, Raymond's right hand, which was slowly swallowed by the stone steps, touched the surface of the stone steps, and a flash of a right wrist flashed in vain. The circle of red light makes everything in this closed space bright.

Raymond's eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, opened in vain, and his upper body, which had not yet fallen into the stone steps, suddenly turned around. His eyes immediately pointed at the gap on the wall and saw the hidden inside. Those eyes!

The joy in the eyes was replaced by surprise immediately, but before the gap on the wall was closed, the tentacles that were broken up by Raymond's left hand, he quickly penetrated into the gap. The gap that was trying to close suddenly pulled open!

The hissing and painful cries echoed in this confined space, and a slight pain appeared in the pupils of the hidden gap, followed by the old voice in Raymond's mind. "Don't, don't , stop holding on..."

When Raymond heard this sound, his smile became stronger and stronger. His legs, which were trapped in the stone steps, pulled out after shaking slightly, and opened his mouth as he looked at his pupils with frustration. "Who are you?"

When the opening was opened, the tentacles that supported the gap on the wall stopped. He felt that the closing power was not enhanced by Raymond, and he finally felt relieved.

Before, he realized that he was trapped in a strange illusion, but because he did not feel a sense of crisis, he was lost.

Therefore, when the feeling of inexplicable fatigue and comfort arose from the bottom of his heart, he simply relaxed and blocked his feelings towards the outside world, allowing the chip to take over his body's control.

It was almost like after giving up one's own consciousness, the invisible influence was quickly amplified. After the sensor from his body was fed back by the chip, he noticed that the red raymond burst out from the bracelet on his wrist. He decisively re-controlled

The body was done and the appropriate response was made.

And the perception released by him at this time can finally detect everything around him.

The completely sealed space seems to be a spindle-shaped shape, which is in its center, and the material that seems to be a stone step and a wall is actually just a thicker membrane, with mixed content outside it

Flexible liquid with strands of flexible fibers.

"Cell-like tissue? Is it like this environment you are in now?"

Raymond, who was so confused in his heart, had locked his eyes in the gap at this moment, but his expression did not show it, but stared at the eyes and waited patiently.

The pain in the eyes was curled away, and the old voice also rang out directly in Raymond's mind. "The powerful outsider, I am Ariel, the subordinate of the great lich, Lord Vernar..."

While speaking, the gap on the wall slowly expanded, revealing a wrinkled face.

The expression on the face, which was very vicissitudes, was a little strange. It was not a fear or panic, but it seemed to be confused and puzzled, and it was also a little suspicious.

After the gap stabilized, Raymond asked, "Are you the guardian of the Soul-Sacrificing Fruit Tree?"

"Guardian? What Guardian?" Raymond's words were repeated in a daze, and Ariel, who seemed incomprehensible, frowned for a moment before he said angrily. "I am the Soul-Sacrificing Fruit Tree! What do I need?

The existence of the Guardian! You are not talking about the borers entrenched around me, right?”

Raymond was a little surprised to hear this and said, "Bertilizer?"

"Yes, it's these guys who are entrenched around me and devour me and are all greedy and lazy, and they are even delusional to make me fall asleep forever! These damn maggots, critters..."

It seemed that Raymond's inquiry had brought up bad memories, and Ariel, who was furious in vain, began to roar.

Ariel, who started roaring in the Estaya language used by the lichs, was out of control and his speed became faster and faster.

But this situation made Raymond a little troubled, because his mastery of Estaya did not reach the level of proficiency, so although he could be used to communicate and communicate, his language was special

When vocabulary is used extensively, he cannot understand its meaning.

Therefore, after confirming that the old face in front of him was the projection of the Soul-Sacrificing Fruit Tree Ariel, he awakened the girl Becky who was staying in the picture by the girl's stream, and wanted her to act as a translator.

But the girl Becky condensed her body. Ariel, who was scared, actually let out a strange cry, and then she disappeared into the gap in vain, causing Raymond, who was caught off guard, to have no time to stop it!

The gap supported by the tentacles became hard as if it had solidified, and the pupils with anger that could have seen before also lost their luster as if it had solidified.

However, the space that was still closed before quietly formed a passage beside Raymond, and there was a faint cold wind gushing out inside.

After listening to the content of Ariel roaring and roaring by Raymond, Becky burst into laughter.

"This old guy was regarded as a hostel by those guardians, and almost became an unconscious energy provider, so he regarded these "guardians" as borers, and after he woke up, he killed all the guardians...

…”

Such a reassuring made Raymond extremely speechless.

The powerful place that the Illusion Butterfly Jima calls the "Guardian" is a parasite for Ariel, who is most likely a soul-sacrificing fruit tree. Not only does he seize his energy, but he also wants to make him forever.

Sleeping.

"Raymond, you just said that this is the underground of the ruins of the city? And this Ariel claims that it is a subordinate of the Lich Fonnar?"

"It seems that this is what it is said. Ulu has also said before that this city was created by an extremely powerful lich..."

Recalling Ulu's tone when she was telling the legend, Raymond couldn't help but feel moved. "If this Ariel was really the subordinate of the lich who built this city, then it should know what happened back then..." (
