“这个人面纹不一定与惑心女妖有关，但既然惑心女妖能借契约之力逞凶，那就说明一定有某种方法可以简化缔结契约的过程，或者隐藏契约认定的条件。”多克斯说到这，看了人面纹一眼：“所以，不能小觑任何细节。”
“This human face pattern is not necessarily related to the Bewildering Banshee, but since the Bewildering Banshee can use the power of the contract to act fiercely, it means that there must be some way to simplify the process of concluding the contract, or hide the content of the contract. Conditions.” When Doakes said this, he glanced at the human face pattern: “So, you can’t underestimate any details.”
卡艾尔：“……你说的倒也对,但在地下水道的时候，也没见你这么抠细节啊？”
Kael: “…You are right, but when you were in the underground sewer, I didn’t see you digging into details like this?”
明明一开始探索地下水道时，比现在更危险。
Obviously when we first started exploring the underground waterway, it was more dangerous than it is now.
多克斯轻哼一声，在心灵系带里道：“不一样的。”
Doakes snorted softly, and said in the psychic belt: “It’s different.”
安格尔：“哪里不一样？”
Angel: “What’s the difference?”
多克斯一脸理所当然的道：“我在地下水道时，灵感又没有给我‘小心契约’的提示，肯定不一样啊。”
Doakes said with a face of course: “When I was in the underground sewer, the inspiration didn’t give me the reminder of ‘be careful with the contract’, it must be different.”
安格尔：“……”果然，不要指望多克斯能够多理性的去分析其中门道。
Angel: “…” Sure enough, don’t expect Doakes to analyze the method rationally.
但不得不说,他的灵感实在太过强悍。
But I have to say that his inspiration is too powerful.
就像这次,纵然他们还没有确定人面纹是否会通过契约来束缚他们,但经过多克斯的一通灵感代打，还真的把安格尔与卡艾尔说服了。
Just like this time, even though they haven’t confirmed whether the human face pattern will bind them through a contract, but after a stroke of inspiration from Doakes, they really convinced Angel and Kael.
卡艾尔此时已经在思考：人面纹这边要避免沟通，免得上当，那他们接下来该做什么？
Kael is already thinking at this moment: The human face tattoos should avoid communication, so as not to be fooled, so what should they do next?
这样的思考，其实已经默认了多克斯所言非虚。
This kind of thinking has actually acquiesced that what Doakes said is true.
“接下来该做什么啊？”面对卡艾尔的询问，多克斯伸出右手摩挲了一下下巴，沉思了片刻，最后耸耸肩道：“反正不要与人面纹沟通，也别去玩什么游戏，其他的应该就没什么了。”
“What should I do next?” Facing Kael’s inquiry, Doakes stretched out his right hand and stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally shrugged: “Anyway, don’t communicate with human facial lines, Don’t play any games, the rest should be fine.”
在这片被分隔出来的小空间里，多克斯也就只在人面纹身上感知到了灵感的异动。其他的地方倒是很正常，暂时没有发现问题。
In this small space that was separated, Doakes only felt the change of inspiration on the human face tattoo. Other places are normal, and no problems have been found for the time being.
“可这里也只有通过人面纹能去往下一个区域啊。”卡艾尔在心灵系带嘀咕道。
“But here you can only go to the next area through the human face pattern.” Kael muttered in the soul belt.
这片区域他们也不是没找过，除了人面纹所在的这棵大榕树，也看不到其他有线索的地方了。
It’s not that they haven’t searched this area before, except for the big banyan tree where the human face pattern is, they can’t see any other places with clues.
“这个啊……我认为你说的对。”多克斯：“但我也没有其他的方法，或者说，你愿意不明不白的去和幕后巫师签订不明契约？别忘了遗迹苦力的前车之鉴。”
“This… I think you’re right.” Doakes: “But I don’t have any other way, or you are willing to sign an unknown contract with the wizard behind the scenes without knowing it? Don’t forget the ruins A lesson for coolies.”
卡艾尔自然不敢随意的签订莫名其妙的契约,但他们现在难道就这么干耗着吗？
Kael naturally did not dare to sign inexplicable contracts at will, but are they just doing this now?
在卡艾尔和多克斯都一筹莫展时，安格尔却是望着空间隔膜，陷入了一阵沉思。
When Kael and Doakes were at a loss, Angel looked at the space barrier and fell into deep thought.
半分钟后，安格尔在心灵系带里说道：“其实还有一個方法。”
Half a minute later, Angel said in the psychic belt: “Actually, there is another way.”
多克斯：“什么办法？”
Doakes: “What way?”
安格尔：“我刚才校对了一下空间隔膜上的参数，发现参数和笼罩在乐土的整个空间封印一样。”
Angel: “I checked the parameters on the space diaphragm just now, and found that the parameters are the same as the entire space seal covering the paradise.”
安格尔说到这时，多克斯还没听懂，但卡艾尔作为空间系巫师，已然理解安格尔的意思，眼睛倏地一亮：“大人的意思是说，空间隔膜和空间封印是一体的？！”
When Angel said this, Doakes hadn’t understood yet, but Kael, as a space wizard, already understood what Angel meant, and his eyes lit up: “My lord means that the space diaphragm Is it integrated with the space seal?!”
安格尔点点头：“没错。”
Angel nodded: “That’s right.”
多克斯这时也回过味来了：“所以，你可以直接在这里的空间隔膜上打洞，进入其他区域？”
At this time, Doakes also recalled: “So, you can directly punch a hole in the space diaphragm here and enter other areas?”
……打洞？你是把我当土拨鼠吗。
…Punch holes? Are you taking me for a groundhog?
安格尔在心里吐槽了一句，不过他也知道多克斯纯粹是表达有问题，点点头算是同意了他的说法。
Angel complained in his heart, but he also knew that Doakes had a problem with his expression, so he nodded in agreement with him.
多克斯：“那这样就很好！只要不涉及到人面纹，通过其他手段进入别的区域，这就没问题了。”
Doakes: “That’s fine! As long as it doesn’t involve facial lines and enters other areas through other means, it’s fine.”
确定了接下来的方向后，他们立刻远离了人面纹。
After confirming the next direction, they immediately moved away from the facial lines.
或许是触发机制的原因，人面纹也没有强留他们，只是默默的注视着他们离开，最后它闭上眼就像是睡着了般。
Perhaps it was because of the trigger mechanism. The human face pattern didn’t force them to stay, but just watched them leave silently. Finally, it closed its eyes as if it fell asleep.
而安格尔等人，来到了空间隔膜的另一端。
And Angel and others came to the other end of the space barrier.
他们寻找到了一个速灵对分身感应最强烈的方向，准备在这里打开去往其他区域的大门。
They have found a direction where Suling has the strongest sensitivity to clones, and they are going to open the door to other areas here.
因为安格尔早已破解了外界的空间封印,在参数一样的情况下，甚至都不用计算，很轻松的便打开了新的大门。
Because Angel had already cracked the space seal of the outside world, and under the same parameters, he didn’t even need to calculate, and opened a new door easily.
不过，门虽然打开了，但里面却是一片漆黑，一眼根本看不见底。
However, although the door was opened, it was pitch black inside, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.
“这个隔膜背后是什么区域，怎么这么黑？”卡艾尔疑惑道。
“What is the area behind this diaphragm, why is it so dark?” Kael asked in confusion.
“谁知道是哪里，我们又没人来过这片乐土。再说，黑就黑吧，反正我没感觉到危险。”多克斯浑不在意道。
“Who knows where it is, and none of us have been to this paradise. Besides, it’s black as long as it’s black, anyway, I don’t feel the danger.” Doakes said indifferently.
卡艾尔：“也对，只要没有危险，其他的倒是不重要。”
Kael: “That’s right, as long as there is no danger, the others are not important.”
在两人嘀咕的时候，安格尔默默道：“你们看到的黑暗区域，并不是背后的场景。”
When the two were muttering, Angel said silently: “The dark area you see is not the scene behind.”
“？？？”
“???”
面对众人疑惑的目光，安格尔也没解释，直接道：“进去就知道了。”
In the face of everyone’s suspicious eyes, Angel did not explain, and said directly: “You will know when you go in.”
安格尔率先踏入了大门内，多克斯和卡艾尔互觑一眼，也跟了上来。
Angel stepped into the gate first, Doakes and Kael exchanged glances and followed.
当进入大门后，卡艾尔立刻明悟了安格尔的意思：“我们是在……空间隔膜内？”
After entering the gate, Kael immediately understood Angel’s meaning: “Are we in… the space barrier?”
安格尔这回没有卖关子，点点头：“没错。”
Angel didn’t play tricks this time, and nodded: “That’s right.”
是的，门后的黑暗，并不代表着隔膜对面的区域就是漆黑一片的。而是因为，这片空间隔膜非常的厚。
Yes, the darkness behind the door does not mean that the area opposite the diaphragm is completely dark. It’s because the space diaphragm is very thick.
此时他们所在的黑暗区域，说直白点，其实还是在“门”内，他们进入了门中，还没有踏出门外。
The dark area they are in at this time, to put it bluntly, is actually still inside the “door”. They have entered the door and have not yet stepped out of the door.
这片空间隔膜比他们想象的还要更深，他们连续走了几十步，都没有抵达隔膜的另一端。甚至，在走了一段时间后，他们还感觉到了坡度。
The space diaphragm was deeper than they had imagined. They walked dozens of steps without reaching the other end of the diaphragm. Even after walking for a while, they felt the slope.
似乎，隔膜的走向并不是正常的面对面，还有斜坡？
It seems that the direction of the diaphragm is not normal face to face, and there is a slope?
而且，这个斜坡还是向上的，似乎要走向半空中？
Besides, this **** is still going upwards, it seems to be heading towards mid-air?
又走了十多步，他们终于看到了“门”的另一端，也就是空间隔膜的背后。
After walking more than ten steps, they finally saw the other end of the “door”, that is, behind the space diaphragm.
和他们猜想的不一样，门后面并非是半空，反而是一个类似洞窟的地方。只是，洞窟内并不算黑，能看到墙壁上挂着燃烧的火把。
Contrary to what they had guessed, behind the door is not half-empty, but a cave-like place. However, the cave is not too dark, and burning torches can be seen hanging on the walls.
众人踏出门后，经过仔细的观察与比对，基本可以确定……他们此时应该是在一个山洞里。
After everyone stepped out, after careful observation and comparison, it is basically certain that…they should be in a cave at this time.
乐土内是有山的。
There are mountains in the paradise.
山岩环境，是很多大地系巫师都青睐的地方。
The rocky environment is a place favored by many earth-type wizards.
所以，他们很有可能是在山岩环境中的某座山体内。
So, they are most likely in a mountain in a rocky environment.
可为何空间隔膜背后会是山体内部？而不是外部的山岩环境呢？
But why is the interior of the mountain behind the space diaphragm? Instead of the external rocky environment?
看着山洞墙壁里那隔一段距离就出现的燃烧火把，卡艾尔似乎想到了什么：“这里该不会是那个人面纹榕树眼里所展示的，某个游戏场地吧？”
Looking at the burning torches that appeared at a distance in the cave wall, Kael seemed to think of something: “This is not what the human-faced banyan tree sees, is it some kind of game field?”
之前他们在人面纹的眼里，看到了大量的信息。诸如：海底格斗、水下淘金、气泡世界、高地混战……等等。
They saw a lot of information in the eyes of the human face pattern. Such as: underwater fighting, underwater gold panning, bubble world, highland melee…etc.
从这可以看出，幕后的某个巫师，将乐土改造成了一个个游戏场地。
From this, it can be seen that a certain wizard behind the scenes has transformed the paradise into game venues.
如果真是如此，那他们现在应该也是在某个游戏场地内。
If this is the case, then they should also be in a certain game field now.
想到这，卡艾尔皱眉道：“难道我们接下来还是要和那位不知名的幕后人，玩游戏？”
Thinking of this, Kael frowned and said, “Should we still play games with that unknown behind-the-scenes person?”
在卡艾尔疑惑的时候，多克斯轻声道：“我好像感应到附近有一道虚弱的血脉气息。”
When Kael was puzzled, Doakes said softly: “I seem to sense a weak bloodline breath nearby.”
卡艾尔：“虚弱的血脉气息？”
Kael: “Weak blood breath?”
多克斯点点头：“是地火蝾螈的血脉气息。”
Doakes nodded: “It’s the bloodline breath of the Earthfire salamander.”
顿了顿，多克斯用颇为感慨的语气道：“真是熟悉的气息啊，我当年还是学徒的时候，也曾融入过这个血脉。不过，我当年融入地火蝾螈后，可是同阶中的佼佼者，和现在闻到的这种驳杂、弱小的气息完全不一样。”
Paused, Doakes said in a rather emotional tone: “It’s really a familiar breath. When I was an apprentice, I also integrated into this bloodline. However, after I integrated into the ground fire salamander, But the best of the same level is completely different from the mixed and weak aura you smell now.”
多克斯：“基本可以确定，这血脉气息应该来自一个学徒。大概率不是血脉侧的，否则这血脉气息的强度也太低了，想来是一些神秘侧学徒的。”
Doakes: “It is basically certain that this bloodline breath should come from an apprentice. There is a high probability that it is not from the bloodline side, otherwise the strength of the bloodline breath is too low, and it seems to be from some mysterious side apprentices.”
多克斯说到这时，还特意看了眼卡艾尔。
When Doakes said this, he took a special look at Kael.
卡艾尔嘴巴张了张，可最后还是没有说话，只是在心中默默道：我又没有融入地火蝾螈血脉。
Kael opened his mouth, but he still didn’t speak in the end, he just said in his heart: I haven’t integrated into the bloodline of Earthfire Salamander.
毫无疑问，多克斯是在调侃卡艾尔，不过他的猜测大概率是真的。
There is no doubt that Doakes is teasing Kael, but his guess is likely to be true.
地火蝾螈血脉的特点，就是皮厚，抗打。
The bloodline of the Earth Fire Salamander is characterized by its thick skin and resistance to blows.
虽然也很适合皮薄的元素侧学徒，但元素侧在学徒阶段有太多防身的戏法，是神秘侧的数倍、数十倍。
Although it is also very suitable for thin-skinned apprentices on the elemental side, the elemental side has too many self-defense tricks in the apprenticeship stage, which is several times or dozens of times that of the mysterious side.
所以，真要融入血脉，元素侧更偏向选择对元素有增幅作用的某些血脉。
So, if you really want to integrate into the bloodline, the elemental side prefers to choose some bloodlines that have a boost to the elements.
地火蝾螈这种纯皮厚的血脉，的确更多的是偏向近战的血脉侧学徒，或者防身能力较弱的神秘侧学徒选择。
The thick-skinned bloodline of the Earthfire Salamander is indeed more suitable for close-combat apprentices on the bloodline side, or apprentices on the mysterious side with weaker self-defense capabilities.
既然多克斯确认对方不是血脉侧学徒，那就只剩下神秘侧学徒这一种可能性了。
Since Doakes confirmed that the other party is not an apprentice on the bloodline side, the only possibility left is the apprentice on the mysterious side.
“去看看吧。”安格尔开口道。
“Go and have a look.” Angel said.
如果是正式巫师的话，他们或许还要防备一下，但学徒……那就不用担心了。
If they are formal wizards, they may have to be on guard, but apprentices…then don’t worry.
说不定还能从那学徒口中问出，之前乐土里究竟发生了什么。以及，那个说出“玩游戏”的巫师，到底是谁。
Maybe you can ask the apprentice what happened in the paradise before. And, who is the wizard who said “playing games”.
多克斯自然不会拒绝：“跟我来，应该就在附近。”
Doakes will naturally not refuse: “Come with me, it should be nearby.”
多克斯走到最前面开始带路，不一会，他们便走入了黑暗中……
Doakes walked to the front and began to lead the way. After a while, they walked into the darkness…
……
…
与此同时，在一片燃烧着大量火把的巨大地窟中，摆设着一个穹顶笼罩的赛场。
At the same time, in a huge crypt burning with a lot of torches, there is a dome-shrouded arena.
赛场下面，躺倒了一群人。这里面有三位正式巫师，其他的都是学徒。
Under the arena, a group of people lay down. There are three official wizards here, and the others are apprentices.
这些躺倒的正式巫师，看上去十分的凄惨，似乎被疯狂蹂躏过，甚至还有缺胳膊断腿的……唯一幸运的是，他们看上去都还喘着气，没有彻底的死亡。
These lying official wizards look very miserable, as if they have been ravaged by madness, and some even have arms and legs… The only luck is that they all seem to be panting, not completely dead .
不过，他们依旧不能动弹，甚至无法得到外界的魔力支援，因为，他们四周都被空间封印给锁住了。
However, they still couldn’t move, and couldn’t even get external magic power support, because they were all surrounded by space seals.
空间封印就像是一个个透明的棺材，将他们封锁在内部。
The space seals are like transparent coffins, sealing them inside.
这也是他们在赛场败北的下场。
This is also the result of their defeat in the arena.
他们现在能做的，便是在心底，对着台上那不停攒动的身影默默加油。
What they can do now is to silently cheer for the moving figure on the stage from the bottom of their hearts.
只有打败了那个发起“游戏挑战”的面具人，他们才有办法从空间封印里离开。
Only by defeating the masked man who initiated the “game challenge” can they leave the space seal.
而现在，能打败面具人的，如今只剩下必洛斯家族的月长老。
And now, the only one who can defeat the masked man is Elder Yue of the Bilos family.
赛台上那两道肉眼几乎难寻的身影，正是月长老与面具人。
The two figures on the stage that were almost invisible to the naked eye were Elder Yue and the masked man.
月长老和面具人都在迅速的移动，她们的攻击也是一触即撤，都在寻找最佳的时机，以及对手的破绽。
Elder Moon and the masked man were moving quickly, and their attacks were withdrawn at the touch of a button, looking for the best timing and the opponent’s opening.
倒不是月长老要选择这种近乎肉搏的战斗，而是通过之前其他人的战斗，月长老已经确定，面具人在能量操纵上非常的强大。
It’s not that Elder Yue chooses this kind of close-to-hand combat, but through the previous battles of other people, Elder Yue has confirmed that the masked man is very powerful in energy manipulation.
不能给他机会释放任何能量攻击，尤其是空间术法。
Don’t give him a chance to unleash any energy attacks, especially space spells.
而要打断对方的出手，就必须要比对方更快。所以，月长老选择了以血脉之力来压制对手，试图通过肉搏，来占据上风。
To interrupt the opponent’s shot, one must be faster than the opponent. Therefore, Elder Yue chose to suppress his opponent with the power of blood, trying to gain the upper hand through hand-to-hand combat.
月长老的对策有没有用，暂时还不知道。但面具人的确放弃了能量攻击，和月长老开启了这幻影一般的接触战。
I don’t know if Elder Yue’s countermeasures are effective. But the masked man did give up his energy attack, and started this phantom-like contact battle with Elder Yue.
越打，月长老越觉得自己的策略没错。
The more he fought, the more Elder Yue felt that his strategy was correct.
因为这个比赛的场地有限制，对方只要离开场地就算输。近身追逐，不仅可以打断对手的施法，还可以避免面具人拉开距离。
Because the venue of this game is limited, as long as the opponent leaves the venue, they will lose. Chasing at close range can not only interrupt the opponent’s spellcasting, but also prevent the masked man from pulling away.
这还是面具人制定的规则，却也成了桎梏他的枷锁！
This is still a rule made by the masked man, but it has also become his shackles!
“破绽！”
“Breakthrough!”
就在月长老酣战时，她突然发现，面具人似乎恍惚了一下，速度明显慢了一截。
When Elder Yue was fighting fiercely, she suddenly noticed that the masked man seemed to be in a trance, and his speed was obviously slower.
她很确信，面具人不是故意诱敌。
She was sure that the masked man didn’t deliberately lure the enemy.
那么月长老自然不会放过这次机会，她毫不犹豫的将双手灌满血气，狠狠的拍向面具人。
Of course, Elder Yue would not let go of this opportunity. Without hesitation, she filled her hands with blood and slapped the masked man fiercely.
面具人纵然反应过来了，但因为那半秒迟钝，还是很难躲开这狂暴一击。
Even though the masked man was able to react, it was still difficult to dodge the berserk blow because of the slowness of that half-second.
只能侧过身，以作卸力。
You can only turn your body sideways for relief.
狂暴掌击还是打中了面具人，只不过因为碰到的是手臂，所以，面具人并没有立刻倒下。
The violent palm strike still hit the masked man, but because it touched the arm, the masked man didn’t fall down immediately.
但他还是被轰得倒退数步。
But he was still knocked back a few steps.
月长老如今得势，自然不会饶人，她飞快的靠近面具人，试图继续之前的循环。
Elder Yue is now in power, so she will not forgive others. She quickly approached the masked man, trying to continue the previous cycle.
就在月长老即将接近面具人的时候，面具人突然伸出手指，一道带着空间性质的光罩，直接出现在面具人身前。
Just as Elder Yue was about to get close to the masked man, the masked man suddenly stretched out his finger, and a light mask with a space property appeared directly in front of the masked man.
轻空光盾。
Light air shield.
这个空间系最常用的防护术法，月长老自然能认出来。只是没想到，对方直接省略了施法的步骤，便释放了出来。
Elder Yue can naturally recognize the most commonly used protection technique in this space system. It’s just that he didn’t expect that the other party directly omitted the step of casting the spell and released it.
这是巫术位上的术法！
This is a sorcery technique!
此前，面具人从没有施放巫术位的术法或者戏法，如今终于展现出来了。
Before, the masked man had never cast witchcraft or tricks, and now he finally showed it.
月长老眼里闪过不妙~Soverse.com~破开轻空光盾不难，但破除光盾的过程，足以让面具人凝聚起更加强大的攻击术法。
Elder Moon’s eyes flashed something bad~Soverse.com~It is not difficult to break the light shield, but the process of breaking the light shield is enough for the masked man to condense a more powerful attack technique.
到时候，她不一定能扛得住。
When the time comes, she may not be able to bear it.
虽然月长老已经感到不妙，但她此时已经箭在弦上不得不发，只能快速的攻击轻空光盾，试图在面具人施展其他手段前，破掉轻空光盾。
Even though Elder Yue already felt bad, she had no choice but to attack the light-space light shield quickly, trying to break the light-space light shield before the masked man could use other means.
可让月长老惊讶的是，面具人并没有施放其他术法，任由月长老破盾。
To Elder Moon’s surprise, the masked man did not cast any other spells, allowing Elder Moon to break the shield.
甚至，还在月长老的注视下，回过头望向某处。
Even, under the gaze of Elder Yue, he turned his head and looked somewhere.
这是转移注意力的手段？月长老没有看面具人的视线所向，继续攻击。
Is this a way to divert attention? Elder Yue didn’t look where the masked man was looking, and continued to attack.
这时，已经背对着她的面具人，突然开口道：“……有新人进入游戏，却没有用正规方法，这可不行啊。”
At this time, the masked man who had turned his back on her suddenly said, “…a newcomer has entered the game, but he didn’t use the formal method. This is not acceptable.”
“看来，这边的玩闹，需要先结束了。”
“It seems that the joke here needs to end first.”
