Broad World

Chapter 500 Thinking and Illusion

Henry didn't know what was wrong with him, and he always held great hostility towards Losander. You must know that as a legendary spellcaster, this state is not very normal. In particular, he has always been very rational, and he has never even had similar emotions towards Shar, the goddess of the night, who plots against him.

But for him, the word normal is really a bit extravagant. Whether it is the crazy and distorted negative consciousness in the depths of the soul, or the power of the self that has not been understood until now, they are all very mysterious and affect their emotions all the time. Especially the latter, as long as the brain activity is a little more frequent, the unknown rune on the forehead will light up.

Obviously, this kind of text was definitely not born in the world of Toril, because Henry searched almost all the classics, and even used prophecy magic to do divination, but in the end he found nothing. Ever since he saw the origin before the birth of the universe in a dream, he had a bold guess.

Perhaps this kind of writing comes from the universe where the earth is located, belongs to some kind of super civilization or some special substances produced in the big bang. In short, there must be an inseparable connection with my time travel. The negative personality should know something, but he didn't say anything, he could only wait for the battle of souls to find out.

Anyway, as the number of sealed mirrors is getting smaller and smaller, there will be results in at most another year. Judging from the current speed of absorption, I have an absolute advantage, and I shouldn't be at a disadvantage by then. But the reverse side knows a lot of secrets, and may be stronger in terms of power control.

Of course, these are just speculations, and no one knows what will happen in the end. It can be said that Henry is under a lot of pressure now. On the one hand, they have to accompany Aberdell and Aimon to complete the road to becoming gods. Not only to defeat those powerful Sons of God. And in the end, they have to deal with Cyric, the powerful prince of lies. The difficulty and danger are absolutely beyond imagination.

On the other hand, he has to deal with another self, and deeply understand the secret of his own existence. If he fails in the battle of souls, he will undoubtedly be sealed or swallowed, and everything that has been carefully arranged for ten years will become someone else's wedding dress. Compared with the former, this is the most daunting.

Under the shadow of such a huge crisis, Henry admired himself for being able to maintain a peaceful mind. Step by step according to the original plan, there is no panic at all, and I even have the leisure to participate in these trivial matters. I'm afraid it would have been someone else who had started frantically accumulating strength long ago. In order to obtain the final victory, even wanton killing would not hesitate.

Because he knows very well that the battle of souls is completely different from normal battles, and it doesn't mean whoever is stronger will win the victory. This is a contest between the heart and the will. Power is only one aspect, and more importantly, there must be no spiritual loopholes. If you are desperate for strength now, then you will unconsciously have a psychological hint that the enemy is stronger than yourself. The seriousness of the consequences need not be overstated.

To be honest, Henry is not afraid of another self. On the contrary, I am very much looking forward to the coming of this battle. In his thinking and cognition, it is a part that must be integrated, no matter how distorted and crazy it is, it is the consciousness born in the depths of the soul. If you lack yourself, you are incomplete, not to mention that it also involves the control of your own power, and you must definitely get it back.

As the saying goes, this is a war—a war from which there is no retreat, either live and be a winner or die and be a loser. Since the day Henry learned of the existence of the negative personality, he has been mentally prepared for this. For several months, he has been choosing and absorbing those emotional fragments in a planned way, trying to make up for the loopholes in his heart, instead of going crazy Boost your strength.

Now these actions have achieved very good results. He can feel that his way of thinking is becoming more and more normal. Although he still has some utilitarianism, he is already able to consider issues from the standpoint of others. It has to be said that this is a very big improvement, marking a major breakthrough in character.

Look at the problem from the standpoint of the other party, and don't act smarter than others. This is the best choice in life. You must know that the reason why many people fail is because they cannot empathize, cannot understand the behavior of others, and only think about their own interests, which eventually leads to betrayal.

"Hey! What are you thinking about, so preoccupied?" Imoen's words brought Henry back from his contemplation.

He shook his head with a smile and replied, "It's nothing, I'm just a little confused about the future."

"Damn it! You still have time to think about this, so quickly focus on the things in front of you. Take a look at what's going on here, I always have a very strange feeling." Hina frowned and complained. As a half-dragon, she has a keen sense of magic and can perceive the unreality of the surrounding environment.

Ever since they entered the tent, everyone was taken aback by the sight in front of them. The original simple wooden seats are all gone, replaced by a tall tower built in the dark void. The arched stone bridge is the only way to enter, and a tall giant is blocking the entrance, which looks very weird.

Henry didn't answer immediately, but chanted a spell in a low voice, and quickly cast a sixth-level magic "Really Gaze". After seeing a giant dark blue eye suddenly opened, the surrounding black void and bridge suddenly shook unsteadily, but it didn't take long for it to return to normal.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Yao En immediately jumped up and shouted: "Oh my God! These are all illusions before our eyes! It's simply unbelievable!"

"It seems that we need to find the mage who cast the illusion and have a good talk, and hope that everyone inside is okay." After speaking, Kaidong picked up the holy sword again. If the other party doesn't release the illusion, he doesn't mind using some violent means.

"Remember, no matter what you see for a while, as long as the other party doesn't attack, don't act rashly. Because everything here has been affected by illusion, so what you see with your eyes is not real." Henry reminded very seriously. He didn't want any surprises in this short adventure.

Seri Love stroked her black hair, and said proudly: "It's okay, I can feel other people's hearts under the teaching of Tyre. Whether the other party is malicious or not, you can tell at a glance."

"In that case, I'm relieved. Let's go, don't make the owner here wait too long." After speaking, Henry drove the wheelchair onto the stone bridge.

Just when everyone was halfway there, the giant spirit guarding the door suddenly reacted. It took him less than a second to stop in the middle, and at the same time he let out a burst of inexplicable laughter: "Ahahahahaha! There are travelers coming to this place, Kara will be very happy to know. You have to answer a question A riddle that can only be passed if the answer is correct."

"Who is Kara? The mage who created these illusions?" Imoen asked curiously.

"Ah, yes, that's right. But if you want to see him, you have to answer the question first. Are you ready?" the djinn asked loudly again. Obviously, he is just a created illusion and cannot answer too many questions.

Henry had no intention of wasting time, and nodded without hesitation. "Ask, we're ready."

The giant spirit cleared his throat and began to read the riddle: "Listen! There is a princess and a prince in the palace. The age of the princess n years ago was half of the combined age of the two of them now, and the age of the prince n years ago multiplied by Taking two is equivalent to the age of the princess after m years. And the age of the prince after m years is equal to the age of the princess now. Now, what are the ages of the princess and the prince?"

"It's very simple. The prince's age is thirty, and the princess's age is forty." Henry thought for a moment and finally came up with the answer. A very simple equation may be difficult for people on the continent of Faerun, but for him who has experienced the devastation of advanced mathematics, it is really too easy.

"Aha! That's right. The great Kara has always admired smart people with quick minds, you can pass." After speaking, the body of the giant spirit quickly curled up into a small dot, and disappeared in front of everyone in a very strange way .

Seeing that the first level was passed so easily, Yao En stroked his beard and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that this guy named Kara is not too bad, maybe he just wants to have some fun."

"I don't think a guy who locks up ordinary people for fun will be a good person. In any case, he has seriously damaged the rights and interests of others, and he will be locked up for at least a few months." Kaidong pointed out Kara's crimes mercilessly. crime. In his opinion, this is simply a serious provocation to order. Although the crime is not fatal, he must be taught a lesson.

Henry didn't want to listen to the debate about order and chaos, so he stopped the topic immediately, and led everyone into the mysterious-looking tower. As soon as they walked through the door, they saw an ogre walking towards them. It panicked and shouted: "You...who are you? Oh! God! Get out of here quickly. He...he will kill everyone who enters here, run for your life!"

"Wow! What the hell are you? How can you make a young girl's voice?" Imoon asked with wide-eyed eyes. Obviously, her curiosity flared up again.

As if hearing something terrible, the ogre immediately backed up a few steps and covered his face with his hands, crying and explaining: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuu...no! I...I am not a monster!!!! My name is Aerie, is a winged elf... At least it used to be... The appearance you see now is an illusion, some kind of inner fear. Also, please don't hurt other people in this room People, they look a little scary, but they will never take the initiative to hurt people."

After listening to her words, everyone finally figured out what happened here. It seems that those giant spiders, ooze monsters, ogres and other monsters wandering around are ordinary people, all of them have been blessed with some kind of illusion, and they dare not leave here. After all, there is a city outside. Once it appears in the form of a monster, it will probably be killed by patrolling soldiers immediately.
