Chapter 103. The mories of the Witch
The world she was in was built from Hilda's mories, which ant that she was thinking now and recalling her past.
As such, most of Char's powers were suppressed in this world.
Hilda did not know swordsmanship, so the rules of Swordsmanship could not be restored in her world. Char's close-combat ability was temporarily sealed, but fortunately, he was still a level 20 Elentalist, which was within Hilda's understanding.
He also had a bag of potions and spell scrolls. These were all within Hilda's knowledge, which was why he had prepared them in advance.
In addition, the strength of the Dark Elves had also been greatly suppressed. Fortunately, they still retained the strength of level 10 Theives. These bandits ca from a few bandits that Hilda had t while escaping. Not only did they provide Hilda with protection for a period of ti, but they also provided good material for her after her death.
Char opened the panel and looked at it to confirm what resources could be used. Then, he looked at Golden Butterfly City from afar.
'It's so fresh...'
He had never been to such a place before.
In the past, he was not familiar with cynlos. Even if he used the [Mind Connection Potion] to enter the sa ditation space with Hilda, he would be kicked out by Zin'rokh the mont she refused.
This was not a bug because it was not written in the rules.
For example, the puppet's detection range was actually 20 ters, and the minimum distance to trigger hostility was 10 ters. However, Zin'rokh had controlled the thing to spot Char from a distance of more than 10 ters and flew over. This was not against the rules.
This was a buffer zone for expressing ambiguous feelings.
Since this was allowed, it ant that the ga was not as rigid as it seed. It was more realistic. The rule about the dark-robed marionette could be strictly described as 10-20 ters may cause hostility, depending on the mood, appetite, and thoughts of the monster at that ti.
For the sa reason, when Zin'rokh bewitched Hilda, she could only communicate with her guests without looking at them. It was not enough to arouse Zin'rokh's hostility.
They could be expelled, but there was no need to.
After all, strictly speaking, Hilda's mories was a real level 40 Dungeon. The guards of the Golden Butterfly Marsh were level 40, not to ntion that the players involved in it would have to be screened by Hilda's rules.
Under such a difficult situation, not to ntion two level 20 players, even ten would be useless.
That was why the two of them were able to stay.
At the entrance of the town, seeing the guards in red and gold uniforms, Evelyn poked Char's arm.
"How are we going to get in?"
"Follow ."
Char brought her around the main entrance and into a forest outside the city.
There was an abandoned treehouse in the forest, its layout almost identical to Hilda's house.
"Is this the place where Hilda lived when she was young?"
"No, she's only been here once," Char said, "The original treehouse wasn't like this. Hilda only rembered this place, but she had long forgotten the details. So, she 'copied' the treehouse that she had the most vivid mory of her ho."
"So, we're now in her mory?"
"You can say that."
The Dark Elf's mind spun quickly. She recalled the desperate situation she had been in when she had summoned Zin'rokh.
"That's why Hilda is also a coward."
"Yes, she's facing a hopeless situation. After a painful struggle, she will be overco by difficulties and completely fall into the abyss. In fact, she overca her difficulties in the past, and this matter has long since passed. However, with Zin'rokh's interference, she will definitely not be able to escape. This is also what we have to do."
Char explained as she searched around, and finally found the entrance to the secret passage in the corner of the first floor.
He took out a witch's candle and lit it. The pale white smoke interwove in the air into a puppet doll without clear face and body. Char lifted the wooden board and let the puppet enter the cellar. The puppet flew around in a circle before rushing out and squeaking at the two of them.
"Follow ."
Char was the first to enter the cellar, with the Dark Elf following closely behind.
This secret passage led to the interior of the town, which was the escape route Hilda used.
Although Char had not set foot here when Hilda was young, he had been to Golden Butterfly City before. The other end of the secret passage was the Consul's mansion's prison. However, at the entrance, there were usually two level 40 Water Spiders.
Fortunately, the Candle Ghost could warn them. From its reaction, it seed that the two water spiders were not there yet.
The two of them passed through the tunnel safely under the Candle Ghost's lead. Char extinguished the candle, and the latter dissipated with the wind, not even leaving a trace behind.
The entrance to the passage was located in the dark and leaking storage room on the basent first floor of the dungeon. The two of them groped around in the dark and ca to the stairway leading to the first floor.
The dungeon had a square structure, with a patio in the middle. The dazzling sunlight was like a piece of jade, shining on the ground in all directions.
The guards on top of them would reach out their hands to touch the sunlight from ti to ti. Their footsteps and whispers could be heard clearly.
"Is that beautiful elf really a witch?"
"Who knows? Since the Consul has captured her, she might be one of them."
"Shh... Lower your voice."
"He won't allow others to get what he can't get."
Her voice was a little louder, with a little dissatisfaction and even a little excitent.
"Lower your voice. It seems like soone is coming outside!"
The guards all fell silent, and soon, light footsteps could be heard from the other end.
It was a female elf who ca to visit Hilda. Her voice was very clear.
"Lucius is the sa," Evelyn said in a low voice.
Char smiled noncommittally.
"This isn't the only similarity between Lucius and him..."
The visitor convinced the guards with a few words, and after the crisp sound of gold coins clanking, the two guards left in satisfaction.
"Hilda! Hilda!"
The visitor knocked on the door of the cell, but there was no response for a long ti, as if it was an empty cell.
After a long stalemate, even Char was a little curious.
"What's the situation?"
Could it be that the persecution of Hilda began here? Was she taken out of the cell in advance?
How could this be so hard for them?
"Go out and check the situation," Char said in a low voice.
Evelyn nodded and turned invisible as she left.
The two of them had been hiding at the staircase outside the cell. However, as the Dark Elf took her first step in the courtyard, they seed to have triggered a certain plot.
In an instant, a hesitant voice ca from all the cells in the three-story prison that was in the shape of a square.
"Zena?"
Every voice was as light as a mosquito's whisper, but countless voices mixed together and suddenly interweaved into an answer that resounded throughout the dungeon.
Char was shocked. He stood up uncontrollably and went to the courtyard as the sun shone on him.
Raising his head, the square-shaped dungeon continued to extend upwards, far beyond the three layers of dense fog.
Behind every cell, there was a terrified Hilda.
