"There is nothing unworthy." Baron lowered his head, looked at his hands covered with pitch-black scales, and replied calmly to Atoris's question.
"We all survived, and that's the best outcome."
Selese wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Baron. Maybe it’s because you don’t want to mention the past in front of others, or maybe you don’t want to recall the pain you experienced at the time.
Looking at Baron's back, Artolis knew that if what Selese said was true, then no matter how entangled the two were at that time, the contract between the dragon and the boy had become an unchanging fact.
The next words were narrated by Baron himself. From his mouth, Artolis understood that the demonic blood in Baron's body had not been completely suppressed. It was also because of the contamination of the demonic blood that an accident occurred at the last moment of his second-turn trial.
The mutation of the cornerstone talent allows Barong to transform into a half-demon form within a certain period of time, which is what he showed in the individual finals. But the cost of using this ability is also terrible. After hearing this, Artolis remembered the accident that happened at the end of the individual finals.
Every time Barong activates his cornerstone talent, the demonic blood in his body will riot, and the riots will become more and more intense.
Activating the cornerstone talent in the virtual world would actually cause bloodline riots in reality. This was something Baron did not expect. The erosion of the demon blood almost swallowed up Barong's consciousness several times, but the opposite divine power can dispel the curse of the demon blood.
"Every once in a while, it takes the infiltration of Selese's blood to suppress the outbreak of demonic blood." Artolis could clearly hear a trace of self-blame in Baron's words. Perhaps this is why Baron's final performance in the team competition The dragon probably didn't show the reason for that change.
If not, I'm afraid that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire could not incinerate the opponent immediately, and the three people who have reached the end of their strength will not be able to survive in Barong's hands.
Unlike Artoris who was as sentimental, Ye Tianyu just regarded what the two said as a story and just listened to it. Focus on what’s in front of you, as there are unexplored areas behind you.
In the swamp on the shallow bank, fresh reed flowers and a spread of purple velvet are blowing in the wind.
At this point, Atoris suddenly felt an unprecedented burning sensation coming from the sword pattern on her right arm, and the next second the voice appeared in her mind, Atoris winced.
"Tris?"
It had been a long time since she had established contact in reality, and Artolis didn't know why the other party contacted her at this time.
"I really didn't expect to be here?!" In my mind, the other party's voice was a little surprised.
"What?" Artolis didn't understand what Tris meant.
"Eurielle..." Tris said a name, then thought about it and then changed his words: "Gorgon!"
"Gorgon?!" Upon hearing this name, Artolis couldn't help but shout out.
The result naturally attracted the attention of Barong and the other two people, "What did you just say?"
"Uh...it's nothing." Tris's affairs could not be exposed, so after Atoris fooled her casually, she hurriedly asked Tris.
"Why are you saying it now? There is no need to hide this kind of thing." After hearing what Tris said, Artolis couldn't understand.
It was a story, a legend about the goddess and the Gorgon:
Medusa, a human girl, was pursued by Poseidon, the god of the sea, because of her beauty.
However, Medusa has no feelings for Poseidon, even if he is a god, she will not compromise. After escaping all the way to the temple of Athena, the goddess of war, the innocent Medusa thought that asking for mercy from the goddess Athena would allow her to get rid of Poseidon and return to normal life.
However, the fact is that after Athena saw Medusa, she became jealous of her appearance and turned her into a Gorgon along with her two interceding sisters.
After chasing to the Temple of the Goddess of War, no trace of Medusa was found, and Poseidon returned disappointed. Athena did agree to Medusa's request, but the method she used was really excessive.
Tris told Artolis that the Gorgon he met in the human world at that time was the goddess Scyna, the eldest of the three sisters. At that time, Tris promised the other party that he would help her find the other two sisters.
And just now, Tris sensed the presence of her second sister, Euryale.
"The monsters transformed by the goddess are still quite powerful even if they lose their minds. The Gorgon in the human world is only unable to show its original strength because he was exiled to the end of the world and the spiritual power of heaven and earth is thin." Tris explained.
"We were friends a hundred years ago. We promised each other to try our best to find the other two sisters."
Hearing this, Artolis seemed to understand what Tris meant. He means that all he promised was to find the other party, and as for the rescue, it doesn't hurt to let others do it. Uncertain of Eurielle's current strength, it would be very dangerous for Atoris and the others to rush into the enemy's position.
Now that the danger is perceived, there is an option: go around and leave!
"But Tris, you should know that only cultivators below rank four are allowed to enter here." Even if the front is very dangerous, you should act on what you promised, Artolis thought.
Only the three of them have set foot here. When the next generation comes here, they will have to wait another four years. And Eurielle is here, and she doesn’t know when she will be rescued.
"Tris, thank you very much for your help all the way. Now that the person has been found, let's go one step further and rescue her. This time, let me perform my duties for you." Not only does she want to repay Tris, but Mei The reunion of the three Tussaud sisters is also what Artolis hopes for.
Only after separation can we truly understand the value of love. Now she has some abilities, and she also has the teleportation device given by the elder. With this insurance, Atoris is willing to try it.
but……
Looking at the endless sea of reeds in front of her, Artolis stopped.
"What?" Hearing the footsteps behind him stop, Ye Tianyu turned around and asked.
"I have a hunch that the road ahead will be dangerous." Artolis didn't know how to explain it, so she thought about it and brought it up like this.
Artolis still remembered Gorgon's ability to turn people to stone, and it was quite dangerous to fight with it. Artolis thought that was the agreement Tris made, and she would have no regrets if she carried it out alone.
If possible, try to avoid putting Balong and the others in danger.
"There is only one road ahead. If you want to explore the next area, you must go through here." Ye Tianyu didn't take Atoris's warning seriously.
However, Baron saw something abnormal in Atoris's expression.
"Tell me, what do you know about this place?"
Staring into Baron's eyes, Artolis hesitated to speak, and finally pursed her lips.
"Don't look into her eyes..."
