Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 44: 44: [Mirror Village] Another World (Two in One)

Obviously, they were dimly shaped like ghosts, but when they charged together, they looked like zombies.

But Angie didn't have time to complain.

Forcibly ignoring the weird whispers and dull pain in her mind, she concentrated on sprinting at full speed, and while she was agilely avoiding those "spiritual bodies", she secretly glanced at Arnold from the corner of her eye.

This guy in armor is even faster than her!

Angie suddenly became anxious.If he waited for him to rush out, he would become the target of public criticism, and the situation would be even worse.

It feels like two people are being chased by a tiger, but they both know each other:
Just run faster than the other person!
"Elia!"

Angie used her "exclusive cheating device" without any sense of morality.

Elijah understood, and a large number of vines gushed out from the sword, passing straight through the spirit bodies.Although these solid vines could not block them, they stunned the ones rushing forward for a few seconds.

At this critical moment, Angie accurately passed through the gap between the two spirit bodies, while avoiding another ghost hand that was slapping her door, and flashed sideways into the long house, and came to the small cistern inside the house.

Arnold reached the house one step behind her, but was caught by the ghosts behind her, and successfully attracted part of the firepower for her.

Although Angie didn't know how to use the "mirror" to go to the other world, he couldn't count on Arnold, who was surrounded by ghosts and couldn't protect himself.

Those irritating whispers were still churning in his mind, Angie didn't think about it, and stepped into the pool directly.

The surrounding black and white scenery instantly distorted, pulled into weird shapes like kneading dough.

This time, Angie did not lose consciousness, but after a normal blink, he came to another world with colors.

The whisper died away.

She stood in that cistern a little dazedly.This kind of fast teleportation has no sense of reality at all. If it weren't for the obvious color of this world, she would even wonder if she was really teleported here.

The abnormally cold water seeped into the soles of the shoes, which made her tremble, and she stepped out of the pool quickly, but bumped into something next to her feet.

It was Berg's small wooden box, which just floated quietly on the water, showing no sign of being wet.

Angie quickly put it into his pocket, and then began to check his surroundings and his own situation.

This is still the old longhouse, and Elijah and the little bone helmet are still there.

But the gadgets, sacks, and even the layer of leather armor she carried with her all disappeared without knowing it, leaving only the innermost thin shirt.

The feeling of heaviness and nausea is still there, and the head is a little dizzy, indicating that there is also a high concentration of curses here.

However, she always felt that something was wrong.

It seems to be the kind of small anomaly that I have already seen, but was accidentally ignored by myself...

When this strange feeling enveloped her heart, she immediately pulled the hair on the side of her face to her eyes.It was the black hair she used to be familiar with, but now it was a little strange.

"Sh*t!"

Angie couldn't hold back, and cursed directly.Her first reaction was that Arnold was lying - she had already changed back to the image of the main body "Chi Qingsui". If this wasn't an illusion, what else could it be?
But almost at the same time, she thought of another possibility:
What if Arnold didn't lie, but really believed that there was no illusion here?

When he said the conclusion "There is no illusion here", although he hesitated, it didn't seem like he was lying.

So, what phenomenon caused him to have such a "misunderstanding"?
Arnold entered Granville with Rabin and Pedra.If all three of them entered the illusion through the mirror, and each other's memories were correct, they would naturally think that this was "another world".

Their "soul image" is basically the same as their "body image", so it is difficult to realize that it is only their souls that come to the other world.

From this point of view, the inner world of Grand Village is likely to be a large-scale "multiplayer illusion".

Angie glanced at Elijah in her hand, which seemed to confirm her conjecture - she was the only one in the illusion in the forest before, but the small bone helmet and Elijah she carried did not appear.

But now, most of these treasures were judged as "living creatures" by this alien world, so they entered the inner world with Anji and joined this "multi-person illusion".

Arnold mentioned earlier that "equipment and weapons will disappear when entering the inner world" because they are not "living creatures"-things without souls, cannot produce hallucinations, and naturally cannot enter the illusion.

Thinking of this, Angie couldn't help sighing.The higher the concentration of curses, the more special rules will be formed that are different from the normal world.This is the first time she has experienced such a complicated foreign environment, and she even has some slight symptoms of discomfort.

Even if she deduces the above seemingly reasonable conjecture based on fragmentary information and her own changes, she still cannot explain a problem:
Where did their real bodies go after entering the other world?
If this is an ordinary illusion, their bodies in reality at this moment should still be attacked by spirits, just like Anji's soul was pulled into the illusion before, but in reality was almost sent away by Arnold's sword.

So far, however, Angie hasn't had that "physically attacked" feeling, which has left her scratching her head.

All that aside, this "multiplayer fantasy" was tricky for her.

She has to "solve" her teammates first.

As if in response to this thought, there was a sound of splashing water behind him.

Arnold also came here.

He broke through the encirclement of the spirit bodies with difficulty, and flew into the reservoir.When he came to the other world, the armor on his body was also gone, which made him completely drenched in ice water, and he was in a mess.

Just when Arnold couldn't help shivering, a cold sensation came from his neck.His body froze, he sat in the pool not daring to move, followed the sword on his neck, and slowly raised his head to look at the person coming.

Standing in front of him was a young girl with long black hair, probably in her 20s.Her face is delicate and small, but without deep eye sockets and high frontal bones, she is a bit like the legendary "Oriental".

The pair of clear dark brown eyes have a round shape, and the end of the eyes is slightly raised, while retaining the girlish charm, it also has a hint of charm.If he had met her by chance on the street instead of here, Arnold probably couldn't help but look at her more.

It's just that now, the other party has a cold face, and his eyes are full of killing intent.

And the sword on his neck seems familiar...

Looking again, isn't the strange helmet on the right side of her head that Angie wore earlier?

"Arnold."

The other party spoke first, and even called out his name.Arnold was startled, thought for a while, and asked uncertainly:
"You...can't be Angie?"

He guessed right, but it made Angie's expression a little complicated.

She hadn't planned to hide it, that's why she called out his name.

But the opponent's unreasonable play of cards and his wild way of guessing the truth as soon as he came up made Anji forcefully hold back the series of explanations that had been conceived.

That's a lot of trouble.

While letting out a sigh of relief, Angie felt a little unbelievable - now her whole body, except for her gender, has completely changed.

Under such circumstances, didn't the knight brother suspect that someone killed Angie in a short time, took her equipment, and put it on himself?

Seeing the other party's hesitant appearance, the girl sighed softly, and withdrew her weapon:

"If you have anything to say, just say it..."

Only then did Arnold dare to stand up from the pool, shook the water on his body, and lowered his head and eyes the whole time, a little embarrassed.

Even if the other party didn't give an affirmative answer, he could be sure that the girl in front of him was indeed his comrade in arms.

It's just that this "comrade-in-arms" doesn't seem too satisfied with his reaction.

After a brief silence, Arnold no longer avoided the girl's suspicious gaze, but looked directly at her, and explained in a low voice:
"How should I put it... I don't think anyone here can kill you in such a short period of time. And there are no traces of fighting or corpses around here..."

"So you think I'm Angie?" She couldn't help frowning slightly, and rubbed her aching temple again, "Is this normal for you?"

"If you're referring to a person suddenly changing into another, it's not normal..."

Arnold hesitated, and his eyes were a little erratic: "But it's not impossible, right? Anyway, in this world, some strange things always happen..."

Angie was still a little dazed.She was prepared that the opponent would not be able to accept "she is Angie", so she acted preemptively and directly put the sword on the neck of the friendly army.

But now it seems that these fearless people are far more tolerant than she imagined.

It may also be because the world is already too crazy, so that this kind of "big change" is not so unacceptable.

Now that Arnold has fully understood the status quo, there is really no need for her to say anything more.

However, it's time to have a serious chat with this comrade-in-arms next.

"Arnold, when I entered the other world, did my body disappear along with it?"

"Yes."

From Arnold's point of view, this is a very strange question.After thinking about it, he still chose to answer truthfully without asking too many questions.

"Then do you know where Rabin and Pedra are?"

"do not know."

This time, he answered very simply, which made Anji's head ache again.

Although Gelan Village is not big, it is very difficult to find these two people under the current situation.

First, they have to deal with powerful monsters in the alien world.

Secondly, we must guard against enemies from different forces.

She turned to look outside the house.There was only a boundless black fog, and the whole world was swallowed by the dense fog, revealing a trace of ominous blood.

Several small and dull sounds came from the distant mist.It was an extremely weird sound, as if someone was walking with dragging feet, but it was even heavier. It mixed with the weird atmosphere outside the door, forming this different realm.

Although Arnold had already talked about the "inner world", when she witnessed this scene with her own eyes, it was another indescribable feeling.

No matter who it is, they will instinctively and strongly resist that world.

But she has no time to procrastinate.Whether in the "outside world" or the "inside world", the invisible curse is eroding her body and even her will every minute.

The slight dizziness hit again, Angie let out a short sigh, and asked Arnold a key question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time:

"How did you get the injury on your face earlier?"

Arnold hesitated for a few seconds.He doesn't like to talk about those uncertain things, but with the mentality of being responsible to his teammates, he still answered truthfully:
"It should be the wound caused by those giant ax men... This is just my guess, because at the moment the pain came, my face was intact."

"Intact?"

Angie repeated it suspiciously.

Arnold nodded, "Yes. When I was hit, it was intact. But when I returned to the 'Watch World', my face was corroded by black water from nowhere."

Angie suddenly had an idea in his mind, and couldn't help snorting coldly.

What a mirror image village.

Under Arnold's confused eyes, she slowly said:

"You previously thought that the watch world was safer, firstly because ghosts appeared intermittently, and secondly because their attacks could only make you weak and not leave wounds, right?"

These words are a bit convoluted, and the amount of information is huge, but Arnold, who has personally experienced these abnormalities, quickly grasped the point:

"You mean, those ghosts did have other effects on us, but we didn't know it?"

Angie stared into his eyes, nodded slightly, "It's true that they can't hurt your body, but now, your head should be hurting, right?"

These words exploded in his ears like thunder.He thought of one thing—that was what Master Slade had said about the soul and the body.

It is true that those energy bodies cannot harm their bodies, but the damage to their souls will not be revealed.

Thinking of this, Arnold couldn't control his emotions, and his voice couldn't help but raise a little:
"But I have a headache because this is a level five alien world, and the concentration of curses is too high—"

"Arnold," Angie interrupted softly, "you have 76 stamina, right?"

Angie could understand why he was so excited.Compared with the physical body, the damage to the soul is almost irreversible.The damage to the soul will greatly affect the speed of strength improvement. As a fearless person, he will subconsciously resist this matter, and there is nothing he can do.

But she needs the other party to calm down and accept this truth that makes him resist.

After being interrupted by the girl without any emotion, Arnold was briefly stunned for a few seconds.Although the new image of the other party made him a little uncomfortable, but now it seems that her character is still the same as before.

Calm enough and strong enough.

He tried his best to pack up those complicated emotions, rubbed his painful head, and sighed:
"Yes...you remember correctly."

Angie then continued: "You said that people who are touched by a spirit body will become weak and have difficulty concentrating. These should be your personal experience? If your headache is only caused by a curse, then, With only 70 endurance, my state will only be worse than yours—but in fact, I am just a little dizzy now."

Arnold was silent for a long time.He has indeed been touched by those spirit bodies, and he can also feel that he is not in a good state.In normal times, he would never have escaped into the longhouse after Anji, nor would he have been surrounded by them and made him so embarrassed.

This difficult fact is now before his eyes: from the moment he was touched by the spirit body, his soul has been damaged, but he has never been aware of it.

After thinking for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and admitted helplessly: "You are right. It seems that I misjudged the situation in this foreign world."

Angie's solemn expression finally eased.Although she put on a calm appearance, she was really worried that the other party would not listen to her because of her lack of experience.

Teammates don't need to be smart, but they must understand people's words.

Since the other party showed such cooperation, Angie seized the opportunity and negotiated with him: "Can we go out and find them?"

Arnold's expression froze for a moment, and he said after a while:

"It is possible, but it will be a little dangerous... After passing through the 'mirror' to another world, it will take about half an hour before we can use the 'mirror' again. During this time, we can only stay in the other world."

"Okay, let's go then."

Anji said something indifferently, then turned and walked outside the house.

Arnold looked at the back of the other party with a strange expression, and then realized that he had been taken over by this little girl who was far less experienced than himself.

As a knight with a high status in Glosk, he rarely listens to others obediently.This conversation that started with "coercion" went on for too long, and the other party had an inexplicably strong aura, so much so that he almost forgot that he was actually her senior.

He couldn't help sighing, followed closely, and walked into the ominous sea of ​​fog with Anji.
