Cloud Thinking

"Beleyi! Hurry up! Run faster!" Beavis urged Helia from behind. He stepped on the heel of Helia's shoes several times, and the two of them almost tripped together.

"It's already the fastest!" Helia roared helplessly.

Seeing that part of the winged man in the portrait in front of her had stuck out, whether it was the head, arms or feet, anyway, they were all blocking Helia's way. In desperation, she swung her fists and hit the walls on both sides while running, knocking back all the winged people who had stuck out their heads, and she was even a little dazed.

Just now, I was hit on the head by a woman???

The space here is small, and it is difficult to cast magic while escaping, as it is easy to accidentally hurt teammates. Therefore, Britney and Beavis also imitated Helia's actions and beat all the feathered people who tried to block the way back into the frame.

It wasn't until the three escaped from the entrance that Helia slammed on the brakes. The two people behind her bumped into her with a bang. Helia felt like she was about to get internal injuries...

She looked back and found that the winged people trapped in the portrait did not stop their efforts to get out. In other words, even if they escaped outside, they would still have to fight with the winged people chasing them.

"Hurry, hurry! Go into the main hall! Lock the door!" Helia pulled the rope tied to her wrist and walked straight to the main hall with the two people who were knocked unconscious behind her.

She couldn't go downstairs for the time being. Compared to the first floor where she was familiar with the terrain, the second floor was very dangerous. Who knows, the black magicians might be downstairs. She couldn't just walk into their trap.

The side halls on both sides are too small, and there are hidden mechanisms in the side hall on the left. The corpses under the golden mountain and the temptation of the throne all explain the problem. If you hide in there, you may be attacked from both sides.

Not to mention the prison on the right. Although it can't be broken into immediately by the pursuing winged people, hiding in it is just waiting for death. The only difference is whether you die early or late.

They must go to the main hall because Drummond and the others are inside, and the main hall looks very large. In addition, there are remnants of the ancient gods' will, which may hinder the progress of these winged people.

They soon entered the main hall. For some reason, when they stepped into the hall, Helia felt as if she had passed through an invisible barrier and entered another world. However, she did not have time to think about it. She and Britney worked together to use magic to close the door of the main hall that was tall enough for giants to enter and exit.

"What if there's something even scarier in there? Wouldn't we be blocking our own retreat?" Beavis asked, panting.

"There are eight-winged winged people outside. Do you think the three of us can deal with them?" Helia replied.

Even though Britney said that the gods in ancient times were not necessarily as invincible as they are today, Helia would not underestimate them because in her opinion, the reason why gods are gods is that they definitely have powers far beyond humans, and she is not arrogant enough to think that she can kill gods.

Only the will of the ancient god remained in the main hall. Compared with the visible and tangible winged people outside the house, this kind of mental attack seemed to be easier to deal with.

The main hall is so spacious that it is almost as big as two football fields, and the roof is almost fifteen meters high. When people are inside, they will inexplicably feel extremely insignificant - it is a feeling as if no matter how much resistance they make, it is useless.

Moreover, compared with the decorations outside and in the side halls, the decoration here is obviously much more luxurious, majestic, and solemn. Connecting the two doors is a red carpet that seems to have no end. There are patterns embroidered on it with golden thread, but due to the accumulation of dust and impurities, the content cannot be seen clearly.

There were rows of neatly arranged benches on both sides of the aisle. This arrangement reminded Helia of a church, but when she got closer, she found that it was a far cry from a church.

There was a square wooden box placed at a short distance on the bench. Helia only took a glance and guessed what was inside - ashes.

Damn, this is not a church, this is a cemetery!!!

There were several huge crystal chandeliers hanging overhead, and the weird thing was, they were actually automatically sensing?! Whenever Helia and the others walked into the range of the crystal chandeliers, they would light up automatically, just like the beams of light hitting the actors in a play. In the dark surroundings, this would make them targets in the light.

But they couldn't break the lamp, as that would make even more noise, so they could only stay alert and move forward step by step.

Walking all the way to the end, Helia saw a statue that was so tall that she had to look up to see its face. Without any hesitation, the three of them looked up. He was so holy, so perfect, so majestic, so handsome, and so kind that the moment she saw Him, Helia's mind went blank, with only her heart beating non-stop.

Time and space seem to stand still at this moment, leaving only a peaceful tranquility. However, such a long blank does not make people feel bored. Instead, there is a sense of relaxation of both body and mind, as if they will stay here forever, stay at this moment...

"Captain...don't look..."

A weak shout came from beside her, and then she felt someone pulling her hand. The warm touch brought her out of this strange peace. There was a kind smile on her face that she herself did not notice. She looked down and found that it was Kalzer, whom she had been looking for for a long time. He was half paralyzed on the ground, and he stretched out his hand with great effort to hook her hand.

Bang! Her head suddenly felt like it was hit hard by someone, or like a bomb exploded next to her ear. An inaudible loud noise exploded in her head, and then she felt a pain in her head like a needle piercing her. She suddenly came to her senses and couldn't help but bend over with her hands covering her head, hoping to relieve some of the pain.

But her body couldn't help wanting to look at the statue, as if the thought had become her instinct. If she didn't look at it, she would feel inexplicably panicked, and if she didn't look at it, she wouldn't know what to do.

"Captain..." Karzer held Helia's hand tightly, and a faint trace of healing magic came from his hands. Although it was better than nothing, the warmth that came with the magic made her feel extremely at ease.

Helia suddenly grabbed Kalzer's hand and forced herself to turn around and not look at the statue. She told herself over and over again in her heart: Don't look at it, don't look at it, if you look at it, you will get stye, if you look at it, you will get stye...

"Britney, Beavis, don't look at the statue!" Helia found that the other two were also tricked, and immediately reminded them loudly.

But they seemed not to have heard it, still staring at the statue in fascination, with a dementia-like look as if their brains had been eaten. Helia had to bend down and help Karzer up from the ground, half-holding him, and then walked to Britney and tried to block her eyes to prevent her from seeing, but this did not make her recover, so she had to pinch Britney's arm hard.

The pain made her regain consciousness for a moment, but the effect was short-lived. After a moment of clarity, Britney fell into a state of obsession again.

It was strange. I was only touched by Karlzer's shouts a few times, but how could I recover so quickly? Is it because my willpower is strong?

"Yes, we have to use force. It's best to tie their eyes and plug their ears." Karzer reminded from the side. Only then did Helia notice that there was a piece of cloth hanging around Karzer's neck, which should have been used to blindfold him before.

She tore her handkerchief into strips, tied them together, and blindfolded Britney and Beavis respectively. As for their ears, she crumpled the scraps of the handkerchief into small balls and stuffed them in.

After Helia finished all this, she asked, "Kalzer, are you the only one here? Where's Drummond?"

"He's in the corner, fainted due to excessive blood loss. I've run out of magic power and have no way to treat him." Kalzer said this anxiously, even with a slight nasal tone. His eyes were as red as a rabbit, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

He himself was not in much better condition. Under the light of the overhead chandelier, Helia saw that half of his body was covered in blood, and his left leg seemed a little lame, and his right leg was also a little lame, otherwise he would not have crawled to find Helia just now.

Helia held Kalzer in her right hand and pulled the rope with her left hand, moving towards the corner where Drummond was, right at the feet of the statue. This was a blind spot, and as long as she didn't look up, she wouldn't see the statue. If she looked around, she could also take in most of the main hall to ensure that nothing strange would appear.

Drummond's condition was horrible. It was obvious that he had risked his life to escape the pursuit and protect Kalzer. He was almost completely soaked in blood, his hands and feet were limp, his breathing was weak, and his tattered clothes revealed his scarred skin, and the wounds were still bleeding.

He is lucky to have survived this fate.

For some reason, Beavis and Britney had not yet woken up. In order to prevent them from running around, Helia had to untie the rope on her wrist and tie it to a sculpture of a bird next to the feet of the statue.

"Karlze, I will share my magic with you, and then you can heal Drummond." Helia said. She was not a healing magician, so she definitely could not heal these two people. And Karlze was short of magic, which happened to be what Helia had the most. What was even more coincidental was that she had mastered the skill of transmitting magic to others. It was simply God's help to her!

"But, I am of the wood attribute, and you, captain, are the one who can restrain my fire attribute." Karzer hesitated.

His worry is: once your magic power is injected into my body, will I die due to the collision of attributes?

"No, I've learned it. I can transform the magic power in my body into a free state without attributes, and then transfer it into your body, and you will reorganize it into wood-attributed magic power." Helia held his shoulders and explained responsibly.

After Karzer nodded, Helia slowly began to mobilize and adjust the state of magic power in her body. A stream of magic power like a clear stream was injected into Karzer's long-dried depression. After a while, it was filled up. This feeling of fullness was something he had never experienced in his life.

Helia stopped at the right time. She knew that with Karzer's current level, he couldn't bear too much magic power. Everyone's magic threshold is like a pit. Through long-term and continuous training, they dig down little by little until they reach the bottom of the stone. That is the upper limit of everyone's talent. From then on, it is difficult to continue to expand the amount of magic power that the body can accommodate.

Drummond was seriously injured. Kalzer exhausted all the magic power in his body again before he could barely wake up slowly. Helia had to inject magic power into Drummond again, because before a healing magician reaches a high level, the self-healing effect is very poor, even far worse than the healing magic of Drummond who is not a professional healing magician. This is also the flaw of the healing magician profession.

"I thought I was going to die here..." The first thing Drummond saw when he opened his eyes was Helia. It was impossible for him to say that he was not excited. After all, he had already made plans for Helia to abandon them and run away alone.

His mission was to protect Helia, and if he put Helia in trouble instead, he would rather Helia was a ruthless and indifferent person.

"I won't abandon you." Helia said seriously. She is loyal and righteous, and being her friend may be considered a kind of luck.

When Helia was transferring magic to Drummond, he asked, "Besides you, who else came with you? Did you meet any black magicians on the way?"

"Britney will definitely follow me, and besides that, there's Beavis as well." Helia replied. Drummond is stronger than Karzer, and the magic threshold he can withstand is relatively high, so it will take more time than giving it to Karzer.

"Where's Lydia?" Karzer asked from the side.

"She was covered in blood on the roadside and was picked up by Netina and the others. She was too badly injured, so I didn't let her come with us." Helia replied, "Speaking of which, how did you get separated from Lydia? Why was she so badly injured? What did you go through?"
