It was the swordsman’s turn to be dumbfounded. His mind exploded as his body shook violently.
He seemed to have thought of something and asked hoarsely, “Are you saying that the Heroes Conference hasn’t started yet? Are you a new batch of participants?”
Laurie nodded. Of course, she was in the new batch of participants.
“Impossible. This can’t be real. Have I been living in an illusion for so many years?”
The swordsman dropped his sword to the ground and put his head in his hands, unable to believe what he had just heard.
At this time, Philip drifted back.
He whispered into Laurie’s ear, “You’re really amazing to have subdued this man with just a few words.”
Laurie naturally heard the irony in Philip’s tone, but she frowned. “Be serious! This person is probably a participant in the previous Heroes Conference and never came out.”
Then, the swordsman told the two about the Heroes Conference.
Hearing his story, Philip became more and more shocked.
It was very likely that many people had been trapped here and never went out at all. This was no longer some shady business behind the scenes of the Heroes Conference.
A place like this should be considered a deadly peril!
“Alas!” The swordsman sighed and said, “Pitiful me has survived the illusion. But after fighting so many times, I didn’t expect that everything was fake…”
There was an aloof look on his face, but Philip knew that this swordsman was most like ruined for good.
Their purpose was to observe the Devil’s Courtyard, the most difficult venue, but no one dared to enter yet.
When they saw Philip and Laurie walking out with serious expressions on their faces, they asked, “What’s up, you guys? Is the most difficult venue of the Heroes Conference, the Devil’s Courtyard, extremely dangerous?”
“As I said before, those two will be scared out of their wits. What do you think?”
Some people mocked, and some wanted to inquire about the situation, but no one asked what happened to them inside.
Philip looked up at them and said with a smile, “If you want to know whether the Devil’s Courtyard is dangerous or not, why don’t you go in and see for yourself? Don’t you even have the guts?”
Philip left after saying that, but he knew that the Heroes Conference this time might not be that simple.
