A grin involuntarily appeared on my face.I never expected such a harvest when I placed a portion of my soul on Mia.
I must admit that Alice is very brave. As a 16-year-old girl, she dared to manipulate the likes of Crown Prince and Earl Carson. Furthermore, he dared to talk about the death of the emperor in the bright afternoon.
And the best part of it all was, no one in the room was aware of the fault of the situation.
That's why fortune-tellers are so scary. Their ability to manipulate people and see through the fate of the world allows them to achieve their goals no matter how difficult it is. Regardless of how much you struggle, in the end, you will realize that your every action is part of the plan of the viewer all the time.
Worse, some people don't even realize they're just worthless pawns until the day they die.
I think I should talk to the girl right away.I don't like it when I'm included in the plot.
Of course, for someone of my level, his current actions were nothing more than a child's play.
A truly powerful seer could not be traced or detected and could manipulate the entire world in his palm.
After I made sure that Alice's group wasn't talking about anything else important, I stopped paying attention to their conversation and concentrated on walking around with my sister and two step-cousins.
“What difficulty level will you choose?” A staff member asked us politely.
Lena excitedly raised her hand. "Highest difficulty!"
The staff member's cheeks twitched. “Your Highness, the highest difficulty will have eight-layer enemies.I recommend a lower difficulty level.”
“Come on, it's just an illusion. Nothing's gonna happen." Lena insisted.
Seeing that, the man looked at me for help. I'm laughing a little. “Follow princess settings. Don't worry, nothing will happen.”
The man's face turned bitter.
"i understand." He then inserted mana into the array and arranged the enemy force.
By the way, this staff member himself is quite strong. It's not every day that you see a tenth tier practitioner working in a place like this.
How expected of the Carmell family, one of the three strongest families in the empire and the family with the highest military power.
The staff member then explained to us the mechanics of the game. The entire array was a one kilometer long labyrinth. Inside the labyrinth, we will face enemies ranging from the weakest first-tier monsters to the eight-layered strong monsters.
The enemy is made of illusions, so their attacks will not really hurt us. On the contrary, every time we receive an attack, our consciousness will receive a shock. If the attack is deadly, then our minds will die and we will pass out.
The goal of the game is to reach the end of the maze in less than an hour. If we pass out before reaching the end or fail to finish before the time is over, then a staff member will come for us and take us out.
Quite simple, but amazing at the same time. The person who designed this array was worthy of being considered a genius. Even for me, designing something like this takes a bit of hard work.
The girls, especially Lena and Claire, looked extremely excited after hearing her explanation. Louise already had actual fighting experience, so she wasn't too excited. But even he seemed excited to face an eighth-tier enemy, even though it was only an illusion.
After receiving the staff signal, we entered the array.
Suddenly, our environment changed.
To be honest, the atmosphere was rather oppressive.
Lena and Claire shiver. Even Louise walked a little closer to me. I looked at them and shook my head in amusement.
Now I feel like a man who brought his girlfriend into a haunted house.
“... How dark.” Lena whispered softly and grabbed the edge of my shirt. Claire was even braver and grabbed my hand directly. When Louise saw him, she furrowed her brows and looked at me with a warning look.
I smiled bitterly. Girl, do you think I'll put my hand on every girl I see?
… Okay, I really have an idea about this little elf, but that doesn't mean you should be so suspicious.
I decided to ignore Louise's sharp gaze and continued walking with the girls.
Before walking the first 100 meters, I sensed our first enemy.
I had lowered my perception at least to try to enjoy the game, but even so, I was the first to detect the monster.
However, look at the monster and I decided not to tell the girls about it.
The three unsuspecting girls continued walking without detecting the existence of the monster. Meanwhile, a rat-like monster crawled slowly through the roof, approaching us with a hungry look.
Then suddenly, the monster jumped towards Lena.
*Screeeeeeech!* The starving scream is accompanied by a series of razor-sharp teeth. The monster appeared instantly in front of Lena and opened its jaws wide.
“Kyaaaa!” Lena screamed in fear and jumped back. He hurriedly conjured an ice arrow and shot it …
… towards me.
I hurriedly pushed the ice arrow with my hand, but in the next second, a sword came towards me. This time, Claire swung her sword without looking at her enemy.
Moreover, Louise used a sixth-tier spell in panic!
Girls, do you want to kill me!?
I fended off Claire's sword with the handle of my sword and smashed Louise's spell with a raw mana bullet. At the same time, I kicked the rat.
*Kyuuuuuu.*The rat cried in pain and hit the wall. In the next instant, it turned into a point of light and disappeared.
Looking at the three girls, Lena hugged my arm in fear, Claire still swung her sword madly, and Louise hid behind me.
… I can't believe the second-tier rat scared two fourth-tier practitioners and a sixth-tier mage.
…. By the way, p*lena's air feels soft.
