I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.
Chapter 326, 121-42: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
Chapter 326, 1.21-42: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
“Idiot…” Ming Jin’s mouth moved, she had a lot to say, but in the end it all turned into two sighs.
He seemed to lose all his strength and suddenly sat down in the water.
Her silver, tousled hair clung to her face because of the heavy rain, and her round-framed glasses were covered in water droplets, making it impossible to see anything.
"Mingjin." Mingxi frowned, feeling a pang of sadness seeing Mingjin's distraught state.
"I know... I know!" Mingjin slammed her hand on the water and said angrily.
Water splashed everywhere, soaking him completely. He looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from his previous gentle and elegant demeanor.
Ming Jin slowly closed his eyes and spoke in a barely audible voice, as if this sentence had exhausted all his strength.
"Please restore the health of all life in this forest." He gave up his own wish, but this wish also contained his own selfish motives.
To restore the health of all life in this forest, including the animals that were burned and on the verge of death, the charred trees, Mingxi who was just injured, and the girl who had become mute and blind.
This wish is almost on the verge of being fulfilled; if you say just one more number, it won't come true, yet it still counts as a wish.
Just like Mingxi's wish for rain to extinguish fires, Mingjin's wish is to restore the health of living beings, though it also falls into a broader category.
Restoring the health of the creatures in a forest is indeed singular, because the focus is on a forest, not on the number of creatures.
This is what is known as a language trap.
Green light radiated outwards from the goddess statue, continuously repairing the charred trees and animal wounds.
Mingxi could feel the excruciating pain from her shattered shoulder blade disappear. The girl looked down at her hands, never expecting that one day she would be able to see the light again.
The previous blooms were temporary, but she has now truly recovered her health.
Mingjin's wish pulled her back from despair; she thought she would spend her whole life in darkness, unable to communicate with anyone.
A childish voice came from beside him: [Mission Three: Protect the girl from being killed (Completed)]
Mingxi was slightly taken aback. He was so engrossed in the game that he forgot he was still in a dungeon and that this was not the real world.
"This is a dungeon. Even if you don't wish to extinguish the fire, the forest will return to its original state the moment the dungeon ends," Ming Jin said slowly, raising her hand and watching the raindrops fall into her palm.
He remained clear-headed throughout, knowing that nothing would happen in the forest, which was why he didn't want to get involved. However, Mingxi took it seriously, and he had no choice but to indulge in it along with Mingjin.
“You…” Mingxi stared blankly at Mingjin, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Even though she already knew, she still gave up her own thoughts and cooperated with him. Ming Jin is such a gentle person, so gentle that he almost cried.
“Because I can’t stop you. With your personality, even if you know it’s a dungeon, you’ll still do it without hesitation.” Ming Jin shook her head and said softly.
He was different from Mingxi. Even though they were Geminis, his heart was never so open and honest.
Mingxi can become a hero; he can become a hero of humanity.
Ming Jin knew this perfectly well from the very beginning, which is why he wanted to keep Ming Xi alive at all costs.
The word "hero" itself carries the spirit of self-sacrifice and selflessness, and one's heart must be infinitely bright. Only Mingxi could do it, and only he could be called a hero.
Ming Jin could never be as selfless as Ming Xi, because there was something more important in his heart. He might be a cunning strategist at his desk, but he could never stand in front of others and be called a hero; he couldn't and didn't deserve to.
“Because of Mingjin,” Mingxi said with a light laugh. “Because I know you are behind me, I know you will cooperate with me, so I did not hesitate at all.”
Mingxi's courage came from Mingjin; without Mingjin, he would have been nothing more than a coward.
Geminis are called Geminis because they rely on each other and no one can separate them.
The splashing water gradually subsided, and the sound of rain stopped at some point.
The two walked slowly toward the water's edge.
The girl was still lost in her own world and hadn't come out yet, so Mingxi walked past her first, stretching as she went, and said, "Let's go, I need to change my clothes, I feel so uncomfortable all wet! Let's go to the nearest town first, and then I'll take you back to Rivers Town."
"Let's go." Ming Jin stopped beside her and said softly.
The girl didn't move. She slowly raised her head and looked at the two of them, revealing a genuine smile for the first time, but it was filled with sadness.
Ming Jin was slightly taken aback. "What's wrong?"
"I'm not leaving." The girl shook her head, chuckled softly, and took two steps back. Her smile was filled with sadness and reluctance, but also with a hint of relief at having made up her mind.
"Don't fall in, there's a pool behind you." Mingxi frowned, glanced at her feet, and casually reminded her.
The girl suddenly turned her head to look at the goddess statue and said, "I haven't made a wish yet, can I do it now?"
[State your wish.]
"I want Mingjin to regain his prophetic abilities," the girl said with a light smile, looking at Mingjin. Mingjin's expression changed drastically. He had never told the girl about his prophetic abilities; where did she find out?!
[To regain the ability that shouldn't exist in this world comes at the cost of one's life. Do you still want to make this wish?]
"I know, I knew from the beginning, but I still want to wish that Mingjin will regain his prophetic abilities." The girl looked at Mingjin with a gentle smile throughout, without ever moving an inch.
"I've been listening to you two talk all this time, just listening quietly and passively accepting your help. But I haven't been able to help you at all. I can't make multiple wishes, I can't let you both live together, but if only one of you is needed, I can't bear to watch the other die."
Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks, and she continued, laughing and crying at the same time, "Mingjin can see the future, and the only future that can allow Mingxi to live is the one you wished for to revive the Glimmering Forest."
“Actually, there are other ways, we don’t necessarily have to sacrifice you.” Ming Jin frowned. He had never thought of using her to achieve his own goals.
Using women to achieve one's goals is the lowest and most shameless act; he would never do that, and he would never choose that path even if he had no other choice.
“But you can no longer see the future. If you can’t see the future, you can’t find a way for the two of you to survive!” The girl shook her head and took several steps back, the water reaching above her knees.
Have you made a decision?
"I've made up my mind, please." The girl clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said softly with the utmost sincerity.
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's body radiated a white light.
In that instant, Ming Jin seemed to see the girl say something to them.
He moved his mouth, then ran over, only to bump into nothing but air.
He stared blankly at the specks of white light dancing in the air, which finally went out silently.
[Mission 1: Completely rescue the girl imprisoned in the tower (Completed)]
[Task Two: Fulfill all the girl's requests (Completed)]
[Task 4: Prioritize others' dungeon runs (Completed)]
[Ming Jin and Ming Xi have completed the Crown Prince's storyline, 'The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower (Rescue Route)'.]
[Task Assessment: Crown Prince]
[Ming Jin gained an incredible power—prophecy.]
[Hidden quest completed...]
[It has been determined that the two are twins, sharing the title and items of Crown Prince, and will be granted the same Crown Prince privileges.]
[Please return the Crown Prince's props to Rivers Town, where they will be bestowed upon him by the Holy Son, Lanlos.]
[Title evaluation in progress...]
Based on the players' personalities, habits, and strategies in the dungeon, the twins' crown prince title is 'Forpers'.
-
Title: Forpers
Owners: Ming Jin, Ming Xi
Possessing Items: Unknown
Privilege 1: Ming Jin possesses the ability to foresee the future, but can only see one future line at a time.
Privilege 2: All attributes increased by 300%.
Privilege Three: Mingxi possesses the power of light, and any dark items or other negative influences are completely ineffective against her.
-
[Please, Gemini, return to Rivers town immediately to meet the Holy Son.]
This instance is finally over.
The name Phoebus (meaning light) comes from Apollo Phoebus, the legendary god of light and prophecy.
Apollo is not the sun god, but the god of light (god of truth) and also the god of prophecy.
That's why the Gemini is Forrest Gump, one possessing the power of light (no darkness, upright and honest), and the other possessing the ability to prophesy.
You can search "Forrest Gump" on Baidu and you'll find that Gemini and Apollo are very compatible in many ways, such as Apollo's exceptional skill with a bow and arrow.
The Kingdom of the Unbelievable is truly filled with all sorts of mystical and charlatan-like atmosphere, so the dungeons and the Crown Prince are full of unbelievable characteristics.
When Mingxi first appears, you'll find that he's not as eye-catching as Mingjin, but as you watch, you'll discover that Mingxi's personal charm surpasses that of Mingjin.
The evaluation of Mingxi in the text is exactly what I feel. My evaluation of the two Geminis is also the same: Mingjin is a cunning strategist, while Mingxi is a hero.
No character in this story can be called a hero, except for Mingxi.
The entire cast of this story consists of orphans, and many of them have warped values. Only Mingxi has the most upright values and is the only ray of light.
