Chapter 422: Tips from the Goddess of Life
"No, Miss, we have to get out of here!"
Hestice had guessed where they were and began to panic.
Mims wasn't worried at all about the situation she was talking about.
If the Goddess of Life really hated the human race, why would she give the power of the world to herself, a human, as a blessing to pass the maze?
If the goddess of life really would kill humans on sight, then he would have died long before he obtained the wreath-shaped earrings.
So Miss never believed in the legend about the curse.
At the very least, the birth of the curse should not be due to the hatred of the Goddess of Life towards the human race.
It is obvious that he hates the human race, but he curses his own people. This really does not make sense.
Just as Miss was about to walk towards the cabin, a sound suddenly came from inside the cabin.
"You can't go any further."
Miss stopped and was about to speak, but was interrupted again by the sound from inside the cabin.
"I know what you're thinking."
Hestis was shocked. She didn't expect that the goddess of life really didn't do anything to hurt Miss.
This was all within Mis's expectations.
"So, will you help me?"
"You have the right to [Wish], and I have the ability to fulfill your wish."
Hearing this answer, Miss knew that things would not be that simple.
Sure enough, another sentence came out from the wooden house, "But the most crucial step is missing."
Mis was mentally prepared and asked, "What price do I need to pay?"
Hearing this, Hestis' heart suddenly tightened.
After a moment, the Goddess of Life asked back, "Where is this place?"
"Of course it's the World Tree..." Miss was stunned for a moment. He felt that the answer would not be that simple. "This is the world's number one maze, the [Great Maze·World Tree]."
The clear female voice sounded again, "Final reminder, if you want to realize your wish, you must bring her with you, and you can only bring her with you to clear this maze."
Just as Miss was about to say something else, he found that the scene in front of him had changed in a trance.
He and Hestice returned to their original room.
Hestice leaned against the head of the bed as if she had survived a disaster, feeling lucky that Miss was still alive.
Miss reached out and touched under her earlobe.
The earrings are gone.
Not only that, even the world power within the body cannot be used.
He knew that in this huge world tree, the power of the world held by the Elf King Goddess of Life must have a higher priority than himself.
It would be easy for the Goddess of Life to limit his world power.
This is done to prevent him from using the power of the world to cheat in maze exploration.
Although Miss had lost her most powerful ability, her face was filled with joy.
He took Hestice's hands in his and said with a smile, "See, I told you there was hope."
Hestis was still avoiding Miss's gaze. She had seen her sister on the verge of death and knew exactly what she looked like now.
She didn't want Miss to see her so old.
But Miss didn't seem to care. Not only was there no trace of disgust in his eyes, but he even looked full of love that was almost overflowing.
“I am ugly now.”
Miss shook her head and leaned over to kiss her forehead, "No matter what you become, I like you."
He has no distracting thoughts and only sincerity in his eyes.
The woman in front of him, known as the "Witch" by the world, knew that she was cursed, but she still used magic at the cost of her life again and again to help him.
From using healing magic to heal Miss's injuries in the beginning, to later personally teaching Miss how to use healing magic.
Every time she cast a spell, she was consuming her life.
Whenever Miss thought of it, he just felt heartbroken.
Hestice slowly closed her eyes, bit her lips, and sobbed softly.
At this moment, she finally experienced the feeling that her sister had once mentioned.
Even if I really die for the man in front of me, it is worth it.
Miss gently touched her head and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. After we conquer this world's number one maze, I will stay with you no matter how long you want to cry."
Hestice thought: This idiot, he definitely won't cry when that time comes, because he will only be happy.
There is no need to wait until then, she is happy enough now.
His biggest wish before dying was to see Miss again, and now it has come true.
Not only that, but he also figured out his own thoughts and understood Miss's love.
At this time, Hestis already had the courage to face death easily.
I am also ready to say goodbye to the world.
She didn't plan to tell Miss about this.
Because Hestis didn't think Miss could lead her through this big maze.
As a native of the Long-eared Tribe, she had a very clear understanding of the difficulty of the [Great Labyrinth·World Tree].
As the oldest maze in the world, even the final reward is different from that of ordinary mazes.
After clearing a normal maze, you have a chance to receive the blessing of the Goddess of Life.
If you clear the [Great Labyrinth·World Tree], you can directly realize one wish.
The huge gap in rewards also means that the gap in difficulty is also huge.
So no matter whether it is the human race or the long-eared race, no one has ever been heard of being able to complete this big maze.
Even if Miss is an expert in maze exploration and can easily clear all other mazes in the world, he may not be able to move freely in this maze.
What's more, he brought her with him as a burden who couldn't help at all.
In her heart, Hestis had already regarded this maze exploration as her final farewell.
She speculated that she would probably still die on the road, but at least she wouldn't have too many regrets.
After simply packing her luggage, Miss left the cabin carrying Hestice, about to embark on an unknown journey.
Outside the door, the old man from the demihuman dojo, who had regained his loved ones, grabbed his hand and was reluctant to let go.
"Miss, is there really no other way?"
Looking at the energetic old man, Miss nodded, "Well, we must finish this maze."
The old man's face became dejected, and his tone was full of regret.
"Many years ago, there was a young man who made the same decision as you. But I haven't seen him come out until today."
Mith asked, "Is he the one who first promised to help you find your daughter and granddaughter?"
The old man sighed, "Yes, he is a good young man, just like you."
Seeing the old man's expression, which looked like a person sending off a young person, Hestis forced a smile.
"Don't worry, old man. We will be back soon."
Miss agreed with a smile, "Yes, we will be back soon, don't worry."
He didn't realize that what Hestis had just said and what he had said, although seemingly the same sentence, actually had two opposite meanings.
After leaving the gathering place, Petra, Nora and the two little dragons still followed behind Miss and the others, accompanying them all the way.
After all, it is a maze exploration, and team action is much safer than single or double action.
However, this trip to the maze is different from previous ones, and Miss cannot take them with her.
According to the instructions of the Goddess of Life, he must rely on his own strength to pass the maze with Hestis.
