Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 698: How did it get here 5

“Don’t you think that this is not enough people?”

Queen Litana could not help but be anxious after looking at this list of names. However, Alberu responded calmly, without any hesitation.

“As I explained earlier, there is no need for a lot of people to go into the temple, your Majesty.”

Toonka, who had been quietly listening, frowned and mumbled to himself.

“…Emotions? Damn it. It’s so much easier to fight.”

Sword master Hannah, who was next to him, was sighing.

“My mind is a mess.”

“Me too.”

Toonka agreed with Hannah, who frowned and looked away. Saint Jack patted Hannah’s shoulders as he started speaking.

“To summarize, there is a key to close the temple doors at the end of the temple. However, there are tests that people need to pass in order to get there?”

“That is correct, Saint-nim.”

According to Ahn Roh Man, there would be a white key once they got to the end of the temple.

The temple would disappear if they brought that key out and closed the temple door with it.

“That test changes based on the color of the orb above the temple.”

“Correct.”

Entry into the temple became possible once a large orb floated above the temple.

Furthermore, the contents of the test within the temple changed based on the color of the orb.

“And the tests show illusions based on emotions?”

Ahn Roh Man had also said the following.

Tens of thousands of people had to be sacrificed.

That sacrifice did not mean that they were physically injured or that they died.

‘A lot of people suffered mentally after coming back from there. In some aspects, the aftershock of this test was even greater than from the battle with the Lion Dragon.’

People who enter the temple are individually shown different illusions. These illusions are so realistic that they are frightening.

“Illusions based on emotions…”

Caro Kingdom’s crown prince Valentino looked down at his notes and read them off one by one.

“Sadness when the orb is blue. Sloth when it is yellow. Failure when it is green. Indignity when it is purple. Wrath when it is black.”

Ahn Roh Man said that they figured out the orb has five different colors after one year of studying it.

“Once a group enters the temple, others are not allowed to enter for 24 hours and the orb changes colors five times during that time. That means that those who enter will have to see illusions related to all five emotions.”

“It is not easy.”

Dragon Mila was the one who responded.

She shook her head.

“If these illusions are almost the same as reality, these tests will be extremely difficult unless a person has an extremely strong will. We need to be even more careful as this is the test of a god.”

Alberu nodded his head.

“That is right. That is why I must say this.”

This test…

“It is possible to give up. It is also possible to challenge it multiple times.”

Ahn Roh Man had also said the following.

‘If you feel like you can’t handle the test in the temple, you must give up right away. You get thrown out of the temple if you shout that you are giving up. We didn’t know that at first-’

His voice sounded bitter.

‘Many people died at first. They died by their own hands.’

A lot of people had killed themselves after being unable to handle the illusions inside the temple. Others were so submerged in the illusions that they would kill other people after giving up and being cast out of the temple.

This test was so similar to reality that it shook people’s hearts.

“Will the illusions change when someone attempts it again?”

“No, they do not. They will apparently see the same illusion from the first time.”

Saint Jack quietly commented on Alberu’s response.

“It truly seems like the test of a god. It is not there to destroy those who intrude into the temple. It is as if those who pass his test are given the key as a reward. That seems to be the case to me.”

Alberu was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth again.

“Anyway, those who have been chosen to enter should not overdo it.”

“That is right.”

Everybody turned toward the person who had spoken up in shock.

Choi Han, who had been quiet until now, was standing behind the crown prince as he spoke.

“Little by little. If we face the tests that are shaking our hearts and persist, we will reach the end. There is no need to hurry.”

Someone who usually does not speak speaking calmly like this made it seem like a fact. Hannah scoffed before nodding her head.

“Yes, let’s do it.”
