“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 face pattern is not necessarily related to the Bewitching Banshee, but since the Bewitching Banshee can use the power of the contract to be vicious, it means that there must be some way to simplify the process of concluding the contract, or to hide the identity of the contract. Conditions.” Doakes said this, and glanced at the man’s face: “So, no details should be underestimated.”
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’re right, but when you were in the underground waterway, you didn’t see such detailing?”
明明一开始探索地下水道时，比现在更危险。
When I first started exploring the underground waterways, 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 tie: “It’s not the same.”
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 look of course: “When I was in the underground waterway, the inspiration did not give me a ‘be careful contract’ prompt. 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。
Angol: “…” Sure enough, don’t expect Doakes to be able to analyze the doorway more rationally.
但不得不说,他的灵感实在太过强悍。
But I have to say, 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。
Like this time, even though they haven’t determined whether the face print will bind them through a contract, after Dox’s inspirational fight, 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 time: the face tattoo side 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 tacitly agreed 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 question, Doakes stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally shrugged: “Anyway, don’t communicate with the face print, 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 separated, Doakes only sensed the change of inspiration on the 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 the only way to go to the next area is through the face tattoo.” Kael muttered in the heart tie.
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 looked for this area. Except for the big banyan tree where the human face pattern is located, they can’t see any other 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 have no other way, or, in other words, are you willing to sign an unknown contract with the wizard behind the scenes? 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？
Cail naturally doesn’t dare to sign an inexplicable contract at will, but are they just doing so much 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。
While Kael and Dox were at a loss, Angel stared at the space barrier and fell into a moment of contemplation.
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 heart tie: “Actually there is another way.”
多克斯：“什么办法？”
Doakes: “How?”
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。”
Angol: “I just checked the parameters on the space diaphragm and found that the parameters are the same as the entire space seal shrouded in 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 that, Doakes didn’t understand it yet, but Kael, as a space wizard, already understood what Angel meant, and his eyes lit up: “My lord means that the space is separated from each other. Is it one 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？”
Doakes also recalled at this time: “So, you can directly make holes in the space diaphragm here and enter other areas?”
……打洞？你是把我当土拨鼠吗。
…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。
Angle complained in his heart, but he also knew that Doakes was simply having a problem with his expression, so he nodded to agree 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 great! 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 determining their next direction, they immediately moved away from the face pattern.
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 because of the trigger mechanism, the Human Face Pattern did not force them to stay, but silently watched them leave, and finally it closed its eyes as if it had fallen 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 the speed spirit has the strongest sense of the clone, 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 has already cracked the space seal of the outside world, and with the same parameters, he doesn’t even need to calculate, so he can easily open a new door.
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 open, it was pitch black inside, making it impossible to see the bottom at all.
“这个隔膜背后是什么区域，怎么这么黑？”卡艾尔疑惑道。
“What area is 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, none of us have been to this paradise. Besides, let’s be dark, I don’t feel any danger anyway.” 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’s no danger, the rest doesn’t matter.”
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 silently said: “The dark area you see is not the scene behind you.”
“？？？”
“???”
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。”
Facing everyone’s doubtful eyes, Angel did not explain, but 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。
Angol stepped into the gate first, Doakes and Kael looked at each other 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？”
When entering the gate, Kael immediately understood what Angel meant: “Are we in… the space barrier?”
安格尔这回没有卖关子，点点头：“没错。”
Anger didn’t give a **** 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 pitch black. But because this 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 were in at this time, to put it bluntly, was actually still inside the “door”, and they entered the door and hadn’t stepped out yet.
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。
This space barrier is deeper than they thought. They walked dozens of steps in a row, but they didn’t reach the other end of the barrier. They even felt the **** after walking for a while.
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 a 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？
Also, this **** is still going up, it seems to be going 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”, which was behind the space divider.
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, the back of the door was not mid-air, but a cave-like place. It’s just that the cave is not dark, and you can see burning torches 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 was basically certain… They should be in a cave at this time.
乐土内是有山的。
There are mountains in 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 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 inside 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？
Why is the interior of the mountain behind the space partition? 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: “Isn’t this what that human-faced banyan tree showed in the eyes, a certain game venue?”
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。
Before they saw a lot of information in the eyes of the human face. Such as: underwater fighting, underwater gold panning, bubble world, highland melee… and so on.
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。
It can be seen from this that a certain wizard behind the scenes has transformed the paradise into a game venue.
如果真是如此，那他们现在应该也是在某个游戏场地内。
If that’s the case, they’re probably in a game arena by 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, “Do we still have to play games with that unknown person behind the scenes?”
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 aura nearby.”
卡艾尔：“虚弱的血脉气息？”
Kael: “Weak bloodline?”
多克斯点点头：“是地火蝾螈的血脉气息。”
Doakes nodded: “It’s the blood of the fire 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。”
After a pause, Doakes said in a rather emotional tone: “It’s a familiar aura. When I was an apprentice, I also merged with this bloodline. However, after I merged with the Earthfire Salamander, But the leader in the same rank is completely different from the mixed and weak aura I 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’s basically certain that this bloodline aura should come from an apprentice. Most likely it’s not from the bloodline side, otherwise the intensity of the bloodline aura is too low, and I think it’s some mysterious apprentice.”
多克斯说到这时，还特意看了眼卡艾尔。
Dawkes said this, and gave Kael a special look.
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 in the end he didn’t speak, he just said silently in his heart: I haven’t merged into the blood of the 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 characteristics of the bloodline of the fire salamander are its thick skin and resistance to beatings.
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 the apprentice of the element side with thin skin, the element side has too many self-defense tricks in the apprenticeship stage, which is several times and 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 element side is more inclined to choose certain bloodlines that have an amplifying effect on 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 pure and thick-skinned bloodline of the Fire Salamander is indeed more of a choice for a bloodline apprentice who prefers melee combat, or a mysterious apprentice with weak self-defense ability.
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 was not an apprentice on the bloodline side, the only possibility left was 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 it’s a full-fledged wizard, they might have to be on guard, but apprentices…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 I 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 not refuse: “Follow 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 went to the front and started to lead the way. After a while, they walked into the dark…
……
…
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 with a lot of torches burning, there is a dome-covered 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 rest 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 official wizards who lay down look very miserable, seem to have been ravaged by madness, and even lack arms and legs… The only thing fortunate is that they all seem to be breathing and 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 can’t move, and they can’t even get the magic support from the outside world, because they are locked by the space seal around them.
空间封印就像是一个个透明的棺材，将他们封锁在内部。
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 what happens when they lose the game.
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。
All they can do now is to silently cheer for the constantly 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 after defeating the masked person who initiated the “game challenge” can they escape from 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 the elder Moon 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 that were almost invisible to the naked eye on the stage 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 are both moving quickly, and their attacks are also ready to retreat, all looking for the best time and the opponent’s flaws.
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 wants to choose this kind of close-to-hand combat, but through the previous battles of other people, Elder Yue has determined 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。
And to interrupt the opponent’s shot, you must be faster than the opponent. Therefore, Elder Yue chose to use the power of blood to suppress his opponent, 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 will work. But the masked man did give up the energy attack and started this phantom 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 right.
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 for this match is limited, the opponent will lose as long as they leave the venue. Chasing at close range can not only interrupt the opponent’s spellcasting, but also prevent the masked person 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 the rule made by the masked man, but it has also become a shackle to shackle him!
“破绽！”
“Weakness!”
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。
Just when Elder Yue was fighting, she suddenly found that the masked man seemed to be in a trance, and his speed was obviously slow.
她很确信，面具人不是故意诱敌。
She’s pretty 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。
Then Elder Yue naturally would not miss 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 reacted, it was still difficult to avoid this violent blow because of the half-second slowness.
只能侧过身，以作卸力。
Can only turn sideways to relieve force.
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 furious slap still hit the masked man, but because it was an arm, the masked man did not 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 naturally she will not forgive others. She quickly approaches 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 approach the masked man, the masked man suddenly stretched out his finger, and a mask with a spatial nature appeared directly in front of the masked man.
轻空光盾。
Light Shield of Light.
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。
This is the most commonly used protection technique in the space department, and Elder Moon can naturally recognize it. I just 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 spell on the sorcerer’s seat!
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 a spell or trick of witchcraft, and now it is finally revealed.
月长老眼里闪过不妙~IndoMTL.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。
The flash in Elder Moon’s eyes is not good~IndoMTL.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 more powerful attack techniques.
到时候，她不一定能扛得住。
At that time, 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。
Although Elder Yue already felt bad, she was already on the verge of having to shoot, so she could only quickly attack the light shield, trying to break the 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 the surprise of Elder Moon, the masked man did not cast any other spells, allowing Elder Moon to break his 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 distraction? Elder Yue did not look at the sight of the masked man 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 to her, suddenly said, “…There are new players entering the game, but they don’t use formal methods. 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.”
