Chapter 265 Sheryl’s Past



Chapter 265 Sheryl’s Past

Different from his previous experiences after seeing the "Precognitive Death Scene", this time Tyler decisively abandoned the Labyrinth: Aqua Nest', and had no intention of taking any further risks.

The reason was simple: he had no compelling reason to challenge the Aqua Nest.

Aside from this, two other undeniable "facts" also influenced Tyler's decision.

The first "fac"' was that in the "Precognitive Death Scene", both the giant crown goblin that had torn Tyler apart and the other two goblins standing behind it had no obvious injuries, indicating an effortless victory.

This meant that in this "future battle", Tyler's team was one-sidedly slaughtered, and the gap in strength was exceptionally large.

The second "fact" was that not only did Tyler himself die, but Heloise, Vanessa, and even Garvit also met untimely ends, and they even died before Tyler did.

Even if Tyler had a way to greatly enhance his strength within the remaining 12 days, he had no means to ensure that Heloise and the others could also grow rapidly.

In other words, even if he had a way to change the future and win, Tyler had no confidence in being able to preserve the lives of the others.

If he stubbornly challenged the 'Labyrinth: Aqua Nest' and eventually led to the deaths of others, even if only Garvit died, Tyler would feel guilt-ridden.

Therefore, although he still verbally told Vanessa that he wanted to challenge the labyrinth, Tyler had long given up the idea of the 'Aqua Nest' in his heart, and it was just not convenient to tell Vanessa at this stage.

Moreover, after Vanessa left that night, having used the power of the 'Holy White Deer', the cooldown of 30 days meant that there was no healing power to rely on in the 'Aqua Nest', which was undoubtedly another blow.

.

However, if he simply gave up like this, he would not be Tyler.

He is a man who would utilize all information to the utmost.

Tyler could accept the result of giving up the 'Aqua Nest', but he had to figure out why he and his team would be wiped out in this 'future'.

Only by figuring out the reason can this 'death' not be wasted.

— (Is it simply a lack of strength...?)

— (Or is there another reason?)

As for the labyrinth, Tyler had always had a doubt that had not been answered:

If it was just for the sake of conquering the labyrinth and obtaining treasures, why not directly let 'Ice Polestar: Sheryl' and other strong people form a team to conquer it?

Instead, they were looking for Tyler's 'weak' team. Was the real reason for their annihilation hidden here?

At the time in the Quest Guild, Tyler had asked Sheryl this question, but unfortunately, Sheryl seemed unwilling to reveal the truth easily.

In that case, Tyler would have to resort to some means.

In Tyler's view, before Sheryl was a 127-level 'Elemental Sage', she was first a 28-year-old woman.

.

As noon approached, Tyler and Heloise first went to the Red Leaf Inn and found Vanessa.

Tyler had clearly observed that there seemed to be some special relationship between Ice Polestar Sheryl and Vanessa.

In addition, Tyler also saw rumors about Sheryl in the hearts of pedestrians.

Since Tyler and Vanessa had already established a partnership, Vanessa did not beat around the bush and frankly told Tyler about Sheryl's background.

.

Sheryl, originally named Sheryl Snowy Hart, was once a member of the Snowy Hart Family.

Born with white hair and emerald green eyes, she led a life of privilege within the Snowy Hart Family from a young age.

However, as she grew older, Sheryl's hair gradually turned grey, casting a shadow over her future prospects.

At the age of five, according to the rules of the Snowy Hart Family, Sheryl underwent the 'Doe Spirit Talent' test. The results were a disappointing blow to everyone.

.

Sheryl did not possess the 'Doe Spirit' talent: she was unable to communicate with the doe spirits through music.

.

This test result was basically equivalent to a death sentence in the Snowy Hart Family.

In that year, Sheryl's life plummeted from the pinnacle to the depths. Those who had once flocked around her avoided her like the plague after learning the results of her test, not even sparing her a second glance.

Such twists and turns in life were not uncommon in the Snowy Hart Family. Most people led mediocre lives after being pronounced 'dead'.

But Sheryl was different, she was not willing to have her life defined as worthless. She believed that everyone had their own talents at birth.

Even if she couldn't become a doe spirit, she wanted to find her own path in life.

Vanessa didn't know what Sheryl had gone through later in life. All she knew was that when she heard the name Sheryl again, Sheryl had abandoned the surname of the Snowy Hart Family and became a genius court magician in the royal family of the Wester Kingdom.

Later, Sheryl became the youngest chief court magician in the history of the Wester royal family at the age of 28, and was awarded the title of 'Ice Polestar' by the King of Wester himself.

"Sister Sheryl gained the recognition of the royal family in her own way and obtained resources from them. Although she has nothing to do with the Snowy Hart family now, I still regard her as my role model."

The light in her eyes never faded throughout her narration of Sheryl's story.

Clearly, she aspired to break free from the shackles of the Snowy Hart family like Sheryl and find her own path in life.

.

"Vanessa, has Sheryl ever told you about the labyrinth?"

"What about labyrinth?"

After Tyler voiced his doubts about the labyrinth, Vanessa couldn't understand why the royal family would do such a thing either.

Consequently, Vanessa volunteered to use her sisterly bond with Sheryl to inquire about this information.

And naturally, this was exactly the development that Tyler wanted to see.

.

Half an hour later, Vanessa found 'Ice Polestar Sheryl' in the Quest Guild.

Tyler and Heloise, who accompanied her, hid at a distance and eavesdropped.

The conversation between the two was pleasant at first, but when Vanessa asked the real question, Sheryl's attitude subtly shifted.

"I see, you three came to ask this."Sheryl's reference to Vanessa suddenly changed from 'you' to 'you three', making Tyler and Heloise, who were hiding, tremble.

It turned out they had been discovered long ago.

"If you want me to tell you, no problem. But the premise is that one of you must survive ten seconds under my hand."

Fortunately, Sheryl didn't seem angry. She just waved her hand and instantaneously froze the two-story Quest Guild building.

So, was this considered her being angry, or was she not angry?

Tyler could only tell for now that Sheryl didn't intend to let the three of them leave.
