Yin En didn't know Hilliard's purpose. He only knew that the old knight always had a complicated expression when he saw Isengard. It seemed that he saw a familiar shadow, and he seemed to hate that figure.

The one who creates the shadow.

Just by relying on Hilliard's reaction, Yin En could tell that Isengard's appearance... was probably very similar to Hilliard's former master, Yinaga II.

even……

"Artificial human? Cloned human? Or is it just a simple inheritance of blood that looks similar?" Yin En commented: "They all say that a nephew looks like an uncle, but this is his grandson."

"...None of them. And where did you get all this miscellaneous knowledge?" After Yin En's interruption, Hilliard's anger also decreased a little. He looked at the young man with some confusion: "But you did not guess that.

Yes, there are indeed similarities between Isengard's appearance and Yinaga II's appearance... Only when I have seen the Lord when he was a boy can I tell the difference more clearly."

Having said this, Hilliard shook his head.

He taught Yin En some really important sublimation knowledge, and also told Yin En many of the true bloodline potion formulas.

The combination of more than a dozen rare magic potions was originally a wealth that a large family could not accumulate for hundreds of years, but in the mouth of the old knight, it was as valuable as gravel. However, Yin En did not despise this knowledge. He was hungry and thirsty.

Like a dry sponge, absorbing every drop of nectar.

"What a pity. If I had known that your aptitude and curiosity were so amazing, I should have told you this last time I saw you."

Before leaving, the old knight was quite regretful - after all, the meeting during the last big storm was just a coincidence, and he had no intention of accepting a disciple at that time. Now it seems... with Isengard as evidence, the empire seems to be still planning

What are you wearing?

And he is already old, unable to stop it personally, or even witness something... He really needs a young disciple to pass on his will.

Yin En watched the old man's leaving figure, frowned slightly, and then quietly used the channel left before to dial the communication device left by 'Wiggs'.

[Boy, I remember I told you, don’t call this number casually...]

"The old man looks like he's going to do something stupid."

Before Wiggs could pretend to scare people, Yin En said straightforwardly: "Let me put it simply - do you plan to appear as the old man's benefactor, or do you plan to appear as the old man's enemy?"

【……】

Wiggs was silent for a long time, but Yin En, who could see through the entangled mind of the other party at a glance, knew with his fingers that the other party would definitely make a choice that satisfies him.

【...I'll come right away!】

Although Yin En is one of the managers of the White Civilian Chamber of Commerce and the next generation of inscription craftsmen whom Viscount Grant has favored and trained, he is not yet able to accompany the fleets of Masters Isengard and Gosei.

Shortly after the Imperial Capital exploration team set off, Port Harrison received unexpected news: the last remnants of the Sequoia Aboriginals were out in full force, intending to attack the Imperial Capital exploration team.

Behind it, there is even the shadow of another major force in Terra, the "Flying Flame Land".

Elder Puder and Viscount Grant both went out of the city to meet the attack, while Yin En was preparing ultra-high-intensity cluster bombs and improvised rocket launchers in his workshop.

"Even in this magical world, explosives will definitely come in handy."

This is Yin En's explanation of the reason for his action to Wiggs who came to the door: "Don't you think it's cool? With your physical strength, you can even use these high-intensity explosives to blow yourself up with others!"

"I won't talk to you."

Wiggs, who had been wandering around the area, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You said that the teacher followed the Ellen family's exploration team to find crystalline creatures... but that's not actually the case?"

"Of course not. At least there is no way for the Ellen family and Master Gosei to take action on such a trivial matter as finding crystalline creatures, and there is no way to lure the teacher."

Yin En shook his head slightly and looked towards Nanhai: "Only the Great Labyrinth of Nanhai has this allure - they must be there."

It was at this time that the sky changed suddenly.

Along with the backflow of the entire ocean, the South China Sea, which was originally turbulent due to the storm, calmed down, but the lightning at the top of the sky became more intertwined like a net - and in the direction of the South China Sea, an incredibly huge hole appeared.

The door leading to the great labyrinth of the South China Sea is opened.

"How do we get there?"

"I have already calculated the scope of the abnormal areas in the South China Sea. Let's go, I have prepared the boat."

At this moment, in the darkness of nothingness, Isengard stared at everything in a daze.

"That is……"

He murmured to himself: "Me in another parallel time and space?"

"Yin En from another parallel time and space?"

He could understand this scene, but he couldn't understand most of the previous phantoms... Whether it was the phantom of the old Yin En who conquered Terra, or the phantom of the completed Yin En who massacred the entire world, they all gave him an extreme reality, but they were

It feels extremely ridiculous.

He knew that Yin En could do it.

But he knew that Yin En would not do this.

And in infinite parallel time and space, whatever 'can be done' will become a 'reality'.

And in the end, he even saw Hilliard paying attention to him.

"Could the First Knight actually live for such a long time?"

He thought this way, and felt a little complicated in his heart: "It turns out that in front of the old people of that era, my abnormality could be seen at a glance... It is a pity that in our universe, the First Knight did not meet me at the first time."

"Otherwise, he should be able to tell me the special situation of the blood in my body, and even... help me solve this problem."

Thinking of this, Isengard couldn't help but turn his head and look at Yin En.

Then, he was shocked to find that the white-haired prophet looked extremely ugly at this moment, and Yin En, who had always been calm, now clenched his fists and tried to keep calm.

"Yin En, what's wrong with you?"

Isengard was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and sensed Yin En's current situation. Yin En sighed and pushed away Isengard's hand: "It's okay... I just... felt it."

He smiled bitterly and said: "I feel the despicability of 'myself'. And relying on this despicability, I became who I am now.

Isengard did not understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but Yin En himself turned his head and continued to stare at the flowing phantom of time.

"turn out to be……"

He murmured to himself: "My mother doesn't have to die, my brother doesn't have to appear, Wiggs is actually my friend, and even the teacher... can live until that time..."

"I...in order to achieve my goal, how many people's fates have been changed that could have been 'saved'?"

No one answered the question of the prophet and the eternal reincarnation.

The light and shadow are still flowing.

With the help of Wiggs, Yin En and the patrol knight drove a flying wing ship as fast as possible towards the Great Maze of the South China Sea. On the way, they even received the guidance of an armored shark.

The head shark was very understanding of human nature, and seemed to have sensed Hilliard's aura on Yin En, and took the initiative to lead the way to the sea area closest to the entrance.

This was probably Hilliard's 'vehicle' for moving on the sea. After thanking Shark, the two entered the depths of the South China Sea Labyrinth as quickly as possible.

By this time, the situation had deteriorated to an extremely bad point.

Lurking in the maze, the sealed insect swarm has become fully activated and begins to devour all beings that enter its lair.

First of all, everyone in the exploration team, most of them were eroded by parasites and painfully became corpses controlled by the swarm. Only one swordsman struggled to escape, but he still had to beheaded with pain because his arm was parasitized.

Gone is the most precious arm to a swordsman.

Then, there was the Feiyan Land Special Operations Brigade who had sneaked in at an unknown time - they encountered a battle between a cluster of local monsters and parasitic beasts in the labyrinth, and were involved in the battle. They suffered heavy losses, and most of the people were devoured by the parasites.

Immediately afterwards, there is the indigenous...the most important point.

Instead of being eliminated, the indigenous great shaman fell into the maze with the fleet. He discovered the insect swarm and chose to integrate himself into the insect swarm - this was the ability given to him by the possessed brain.

Having obtained all the wisdom of the indigenous great shaman, and also absorbed the wisdom of most of the people from Feiyandi and the exploration team, the Insect Hive Mother Body retrieved all of its own wisdom and power as quickly as possible, and began to nurture its own heart.

Light body, advanced to the third energy level.

The only person who can resist him is Hilliard.

It was a truly bitter battle. The Ether Crystal Dragon tried its best to fight against the swarm's brood. Hilliard defeated its form several times, but the other party was revived by the energy from the core furnace of the Great Labyrinth that was constantly leaking, even if it was white.

Bishop Fog, Wiggs and even Patrick also joined the battle, but they were still unable to completely defeat it.

The crystal dragon died in the battle, Patrick died in the battle, and even the many monster clusters in the maze group mobilized collectively to fight against the vicious insect-eating swarm that wanted to devour everything. Even the frost moths and goblins fighting each other in the cooling room were

They join forces to attack and then die one by one.

But in the end, Yin En found the structural weakness of the decisive battle battlefield under the guidance of the last shining light of a fairy that was beginning to gain consciousness.

He used explosives to blow up the maze structure and temporarily pressed the mother nest under the rock formation. Hilliard gave the swarm master a fatal blow to the core will and activated the cooling system of the South China Sea Great Maze, completely wiping out the swarm.

.

This should have been a good ending.

But after this battle, the old knight burned out his last life.

"Yin En, Wei Gesi, and Bai Wu... you are all here... It's incredible. I obviously thought my actions were quite secretive..."

His body gradually stiffened. In the crystal lake, the old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, but looked at the confused Isengard with some relief: "At least, I am sure that this child is not Echo... You are just not very lucky."

"What you have obtained is the key to the most terrifying thing in the world, and the most glorious bloodline... What kind of person will you become? I don't know, and I don't want to guess."

"It's just that I have to give you another key... and return another curse to you."

Isengard watched blankly as the old man took out a silver chip from his arms, and the moment the chip came into contact with his body, it melted into his body like water.
To be continued...
