Mages, Adventurers, and Women

"Believe me, I love you, and everything I do is for your own good."

Li Wei twirled Willow's long hair around his index finger and said:

"Willow, do you know when I started to suspect that my being summoned to the secret world was abnormal?"

"You learned that your friend was different from you before entering the secret world?"

Willow tried to guess.

Li Wei shook his head, pushed Willow aside, and got up to walk under the three bookshelves. His fingers ran over the scholarly books and miscellaneous pamphlets, and he said:

"It was the monsters and beasts controlled by the Cult of the Immortals who ran from the Navia Mountains to the Monster Hills to hunt me down."

"They covet something about me."

"It seems that only being summoned by the secret world is worth the covetousness of the Cult of the Immortals."

"The Cult of the Immortals?" Willow, unmoved by being pushed aside, tiptoed to Li Wei's side and, like a lover in the throes of passion, hugged him from behind, whispering, "You mean the Holy Court of Immortality, right?"

"The Holy Court of Immortality?"

Willow explained that the Eternal Holy Court was a notorious force in the White Tower region, willing to use any means necessary in pursuit of immortality.

Li Wei suddenly realized why the Cult of the Immortals seemed so sinister.

It turns out the roots were already damaged in the White Tower area.

“Li Wei, what I did was wrong. I didn’t communicate with you beforehand, which affected you. But believe me, I genuinely wanted to send you to the White Tower region, where your powerful mage talent is more suitable.”

Willow clung tightly to Li Wei's back, appearing concerned for him.

"hehe."

Li Wei turned around, unwilling to continue playing games with Willow. He revealed all of Willow's thoughts and said:

"I'm going to the White Tower area?"

Even if I can foolishly believe that you mean well.

"You sent me, a level 1 mage, to the White Tower region. Do you think your friends and family will find out that I was sent there by you?"

"What is my value after they find out how I got to the White Tower area?"

"They used me for experiments and tried everything to rescue you from the secret world."

Willow frowned and retorted, "Li Wei, you're overthinking it. My friends and family wouldn't do that."

"Alright, Willow, we all know each other well, let's drop these boring tricks."

"You went to all that trouble to drag me into the secret world, wasn't it because you discovered my unique way of exploring it?"

"So you're using the guise of doing what's best for me to send me to the White Tower region, so your friends and family will discover my unique ability to explore the secret world, and use me to help you find a way to escape the secret world."

Li Wei firmly believed that by deconstructing the obscure magical stone tablet and exploring the secret world through spiritual means, he was the most unique professional explorer of the secret world on the continent of Grand.

As it turns out, he was indeed.

Willow remained silent, her expression grave.

Things were getting increasingly out of control, and she discovered that Li Wei seemed to know a lot of things he shouldn't know.

"When I first explored the secret world, you discovered my unique ability to enter and exit at will. You made a concession that time, giving me the [Book of Arcane Language Knowledge] and promising to send me a similarly valuable book of knowledge every month, attempting to sway me with benefits."

"After my second exploration of the secret world, you discovered that I was far more mysterious than you imagined, because the intervals between my explorations of the secret world were very short. From that point on, you pretended not to appear, making me think that something had happened to you in the secret world. It was also from that point that I began to encounter strange things."

"First, we encountered the resurrected statues of the Cult of the Immortals in the Navia Mountains."

"Now that I think about it, it was the 'Secret World Summoning' trick you used on me that worked, right? It caused the immortal statues in the Navia Mountains to come back to life one after another."

"Later, you discovered that I had the source of magic power from the magic stone tablet, which could be used as a springboard for you to summon me into the secret world. You began to increase the intensity of your efforts, and from then on, I clearly felt that I was being summoned by the secret world."

"Lady Frey is hiding from me, and Fina entered the secret world because of me."

"You let me hear the voices of magic, equipment, and weapons."

"The attempt to create the illusion that I was summoned to the secret world was an accident and has nothing to do with you."

"But you overlooked one thing. After my friend heard the voice of the bow and arrow, she was immediately summoned to the secret world. As for me, before being summoned, it was more like I was summoned to the secret world by studying the secret language. You used two different ways of being summoned to the secret world on me, forcing me to make the wrong choice and exposing my biggest flaw at the same time."

"Furthermore, the spells, weapons, and equipment you've created have far too many loopholes in their wording..."

Willow remained silent, speechless, because Levi's guesses were all correct.

She comes from the White Tower area.

They know more about the secret world.

Whether it's exploring the secret world through secret techniques in the Northern Continent or through secret martial arts in the Eastern Continent, without exception, all of them involve entering the secret world with their physical bodies.

In contrast, Li Wei.

He uses his mind to explore the mysterious world.

Willow knew better than anyone what this meant.

Li Wei is definitely the most unique professional explorer of the mysterious world on the continent of Grand.

Perhaps this can help her find a way out of the secret world...

Li Wei continued, trying to penetrate his mind:

"I know less about the true name of the Dark Space than you do."

"I suspect that your being stuck in the secret world and unable to escape must be related to your real name."

"Perhaps the way you become a legend is by finding your true name in the dark space?"

"The true name corresponds to the spirit. You can only enter the secret world with your physical body and covet the true name of the dark space?"

Willow took a deep breath and conceded:

"You guessed right. One of the key conditions for becoming a legend is to find the real name corresponding to 'me' in the dark space."

Li Wei's eyes lit up.

He made an even bigger discovery based on Willow's words.

He can explore the mysterious world with his mind.

This is because the true name resides within the body.

Truth is everywhere; this is not just empty words.

His true name is "Truth," or rather, his true name is in Truth!

This explains why the ascension to "truth" is the most difficult.

Because of the advancement of "Truth," Livy has become a "Legend"!

If Li Wei continues to grow, he will surely become a legend!

[Exploration +1%]

Li Wei chuckled inwardly as the "Explore" option appeared, proving his guesses were all correct.

really.

This is why he can use his mind to explore the mysterious world.

Because he was born a "legend".

Willow, undeterred, said:

"Li Wei, I can guarantee you won't encounter any life-threatening danger in the White Tower region. As long as you cooperate with my family to help me escape the secret world, you can get everything you want in the White Tower region. It's a holy land for all magic-based professionals, ten thousand times better than your current situation!"

"Li Wei, for your future, so-called adventurer teammates are nothing but trash that can be discarded at any time."

……

"Captain Yulia, where's Levi?!"

Entrance to the Peso Camp mine.

Fia and her five companions worked together to stop the returning army of monsters and beasts.

Unlike last time.

The five members of the Mad Leopard gang actually joined forces with demons and monsters.

The leader, Captain Mad Leopard, rode on the Earth Leopard. He muttered something under his breath, and the Earth Leopard suddenly attacked. Two towering earth pillars suddenly emerged from beneath Fia and her group of five, shattering their formation...

"Damn it! It's a spell: Earth Spikes!"

"Captain Beavers of the Mad Panthers is also a mage specializing in earth magic. He and the Rock Panther can combine their spell power!"

Fia, her eyes bloodshot, turned back to look at Yulia, who was holding something she couldn't identify, and said urgently:

"Captain Yulia! Where's Levi?!"

Julia held the "Vello" painting in her arms.

She whispered:

"Li Wei said he would come back."

"I believe in him."

……

"Willow, your promise is worthless."

"You keep making promises, but I still haven't seen Fina."

Li Wei looked directly at Willow.

Willow calmly replied, "Fina was summoned by the secret world; you shouldn't be asking me for her."

"Really?" Li Wei slammed his fist on the bookshelf, which collapsed into dust with a loud crash, revealing the space behind it. It was a small room within a room, where Fina sat blankly.

He had become suspicious when he learned from Julia that everyone's secret world existed independently.

Why was it that during the final mental exploration of the secret world, Fina's traces were captured?

After much thought, the only possibility is that Fina was also led to the secret world by Willow.

Willow attempted to force Levi to believe that he was summoned by the secret world and that Willow was not behind it by bringing people around him.

When Li Wei explored the secret world for the last time, his [Rationality] was about to advance, and he was immediately guided by Willow. Therefore, during the exploration process, he captured a trace of Fina in advance.

Li Wei had been looking for where Willow had hidden Fina since earlier, until he discovered that the collapsed bookcase had a different texture from the other bookcases—it was as thin as paper.

Willow realized that her scheme had been exposed.

My mood was so bad that my rationality gradually became unbalanced, causing the study to "rumble" and show signs of collapse.

From this moment on, she and Li Wei completely changed their roles in offense and defense.

The initiative shifted from Willow to Levi.

"Li Wei?!"

Fina stood up in surprise.

Before Li Wei could go inside, Fina excitedly threw herself into his arms, completely ignoring Willow's naked body beside her.

Li Wei, holding Fina, said:

"Willow, what's your choice?"

Li Wei asked Willow whether she wanted to wait to die or send Li Wei back the way she came.

In the secret world, life is eternal; only when reason is completely devoured will one be reduced to an object.

The mighty Willow cannot kill Levi, and Levi cannot kill Willow either.
