Scarlett Hao forced herself back to her home and rashly used forbidden spells, which also put a great burden on her body.
Blood blisters appeared on her feet, which had begun to fester. Her feet were so swollen that she could no longer wear shoes. She could only stagger around on tiptoes. This was how she walked all the way back.
The two younger sisters were still too young to realize how far away the disaster was from them. The female black slave Mammy and Dilcey were still confused and couldn't hope for anything. Of course, this was why they could still do it now. Reason to live.
Tara Manor can only be supported by her alone now!
She pulled up a rocking chair and placed it in the open window, looking out at the driveway in front of the house, the meadows beyond the road, and the green, empty pastures. She pulled her skirt over her knees, rested her chin on her elbows, and leaned against the window, thinking. There was a bucket of well water on the floor beside her, and from time to time she put her blistered feet into the water, frowning as she endured the stinging sensation.
"you lied to me."
A table knife was pressed against Scarlett Hath's fair neck. It was Paine who had sneaked into Tara Manor.
"You made me almost lose my life in a ghost place. What happened?"
On the way back, Paine asked the smart assistant many times. Probably because of the permissions, the smart assistant didn't know everything. So he had no choice but to question Scarlett Hao.
"Of course it's for self-protection, but also for revenge."
Scarlett Hao replied, "And the most you can do is lose your memory and you won't die!"
From Scarlett Hao's mouth, Paine got more information.
The witches of this world once dominated this world, so they are no strangers to the world of derived planes. They call it the "Lost Illusion" and have mastered some entrances.
Therefore, the derived plane world is unstable, so it may be different every time you enter it. Therefore, these witches believe that the "lost illusion" is an illusory world similar to dreams. After years of exploration, they have mastered the ability to bring species or materials "lost in fantasy" to the real world. The reason why Paine was asked to go to the swamp to look for pigs is because the swamp has accumulated a lot of dead energy and is one of the entrances to the "Lost Illusion". When people with extraordinary abilities enter the "Lost Illusion", unexpected changes will occur. All kinds of horrors. Scarlett Hao's idea was to bring Paine's "nightmare" into reality and deal with the northern army occupying Atlanta.
"Won't you die if you die in the derived plane world?"
Paine communicates with the assistant in his head.
"If it is a native corresponding to the main material plane, he will indeed not die in the corresponding derived plane world, because his soul is still anchored in the main material plane, but the player will inevitably die."
"Then I really was almost killed by this woman." Paine frowned and wanted to kill Scarlett Hao to vent his anger, but then he thought that he was forcibly pulled into this world by the seventh-level gamer. It would be difficult to complete the synchronization by then. The mission is miserable.
"This woman may still be of some use. Let's let her go for now. She probably can't do much now."
Paine made up his mind and spoke.
"In other words, I was used by you? Are you sure that the thing you pulled out can deal with the army?"
"I'm afraid not."
Scarlett Hao said.
"I suppose the best it can do is cause some disturbance to the Union troops in Atlanta."
"Then you still do this kind of thing?"
"Steam engines, firearms, and explosives have allowed weak humans to threaten all living things in the world, but as long as they remain afraid, there is hope."
"I only know that you took advantage of me and shot me before. I have every reason to kill you."
Paine put down the knife, raised his left hand to pinch her fair neck, and lifted her up. Scarlett Hao's beautiful face turned red.
"Let go of me and listen to what I have to say!"
Scarlett Hao kept patting Paine's left hand.
Paine let go of his hand, and Scarlett was free.
"Cough, cough, cough!" She coughed violently. She slapped her chest and breathed in the air greedily.
"Do you really want to kill me?"
"From my standpoint, so what if I kill you? Give me a reason not to kill you!"
At this moment, the prompt from the intelligent assistant rang in Paine's ears.
"The Seventh-Level Gamer The Fool Synchronizes the Mandatory Mission—Recapture Atlanta"
The Northern Army has occupied Atlanta, the most prosperous city in the South. They were close to victory. The arrogant Northern Army, under their cruel drunkard commander, is preparing to carry out a brutal massacre and burn the city in an attempt to completely destroy the South's last will to resist. Once the plan was successful, General Robert E. Lee, the commander-in-chief of the South, would completely give up resistance and choose total surrender. Being mistaken as an "other", do you have any other choice at this time? Retake the city of Atlanta and crush the Northern Army's plan!

At this time, Paine didn't care to press Scarlett Hao. His mind was spinning rapidly. He was only a first-level player, and the one who pulled him in was a seventh-level player. Although he didn't know how big the difference in strength between levels was, Paine I believe that every step is a geometric enhancement. Why does The Fool use precious props to issue mandatory tasks? Shouldn't this kind of siege battle be ended by a seventh-level boss waving his hand? Why do you want to attract so many gamers? Is it because he can't show his strength in this world and wants to find other people to be cannon fodder?
