Hell's Code of Conduct
Work related
Citizens can watch the process at will. Leal walked in to find a seat and sat down. He was hearing a lady who was wiping tears and stating to the judge: "My poor child has not stayed at home until now, and has broken a lot of things. My personal doctor came to see him and said that he had suffered from serious mental illness long ago, and that's why he accidentally injured the staff member of the annex."
It turns out that murder can be called just injury, and prostitutes need to use a more dignified term to be considered elegant.
The jury murmured after the lady promised to pay for the loss of the hotel and donate money to the annex as compensation.
It turns out that as long as it is judged to be insane and accidentally kills, it can be regarded as a poor person and exempted from guilt.
Leal also heard the discussion of the citizens next to him.
"Don't let the orphans in the other hall come out to pick up guests, it will make the outside smoky."
"That's right. Wait until the next town meeting, and think about presenting this proposal to the city lord."
Leal left without waiting for the verdict to be announced.
"It really looks like a mature industry. People may criticize it at first, but it becomes commonplace over time." The voice of the black beast echoed in Leal's ear, "Does it feel absurd?"
"I've seen many more absurd and funny things." Leal turned back the same way, and it was already late at night when he reached the outskirts of the city.
He pushed open the door of the gravekeeper's hut, and the person inside shrank like a frightened animal. When he saw the person at the door, he flinched and tried, "Is...you...?"
Leal walked over to check O's limbs, "It's all right."
Ao knelt on the bed, staring at Leal in front of him, "How could I, this must be a miracle... My god, oh my God... You are like the master of shadows..."
Leal paused, "What do you think of me now?"
The young man clasped his fingers together, his eyes sparkled, "You are a dark and deep shadow, are you going to devour me?"
Because of facing death directly, can you see the existence of the black beast with mortal eyes from now on?This may not be a good thing.
But Leal didn't have time to delve into the details.He gave Ao the casual clothes he bought, but the other party refused to wear them, and insisted on holding on to the blood-stained black burqa.
Leal had no choice but to change him again with a clean black suit.
After Ao fell asleep, the black beast said to Leal: "Is he seeing you or me now?"
"It's us. Don't forget, in fact, you are also a part of saving him."
The voice smiled contemptuously, "So, are you planning to take this little guy away and fly away? It's a good deal for being cute and warming the bed."
Leal snorted coldly.
"There are other orphans in the annex."
"You don't want to rescue them all, do you?" Black Beast disagreed, "Do you need me to do it for you?"
"Didn't you say that your body is in hell, and you can't exert your strength in the world?"
"That's just to trick you into relaxing your vigilance." Hei Beast said with a smile, "You don't really believe it, do you?"
"..."
"It's [-]% useless, but it's too easy to destroy a mere city."
Leal immediately dismissed its idea, "No need. After the devil makes a move, everyone here will fall into hell after death."
"Isn't that good? Or do you think their sins won't fall to hell?" Black Beast asked in a low voice, "Are you qualified to judge, Leal?"
"I didn't, but you didn't either." Leal looked at Ao who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and was a little relieved, because the luster covering the other's soul was a little brighter.
"Humans can solve problems in their own way."
Lyal was the guest of one of the city's noblemen two days later.
The hostess of this wealthy family is a devout believer. After Leal spent some time talking nonsense about the inextricable origins of Epidemic Cult and Angel Belief, she gave Leal the necessary trust, and just yesterday he did it for this The lady's beloved daughter cured the disease, and the hostess wholeheartedly regarded him as an honored guest.
It was a trick Leal had picked up by chance while he was looking for an opportunity in the city.The reason why this family was chosen as the entry point was that there was a notice on the square offering rewards to doctors, which stated that they were treating incurable diseases for respected noble families.In fact, what the little girl had was not terminally ill, it was just a little strange. When Leal was walking in the world, she just encountered this kind of illness and knew how to cure it.
He cured the little girl with ordinary treatment methods, and the hostess was sure that Leal was the messenger sent by the heavens to save their family. Soon she also found that the plague monk was very knowledgeable, so she planned to pull her away every day. Go to him to discuss beliefs and knowledge from various places to relieve boredom.
A few days later, during the afternoon tea with the hostess, Leal seemingly casually "looked" in the direction of the annex, with a worried expression on his face.
In fact, it is really difficult for people to see his expression while wearing a mask, but Leal worked hard, and soon the hostess noticed his strange appearance and asked, "Did you feel something?"
Some believers spontaneously believe that blind people can see things they cannot see, so they pay special attention to the behavior of these people.
Leal sighed, "Ever since I entered the city, I have noticed that the air of the disease is lingering over the other building, but I don't know what kind of place it is."
"It's a brothel. It's full of orphans. The city lord raised them, so they naturally have to make some contributions to Heli." Speaking of this, the hostess' tone was a little impatient, "I heard that some time ago It’s a filthy place where people are killed.”
"It seems Madam doesn't like that place very much." Leal smelled something unusual, "Could it be—"
He prolonged his voice, but he didn't actually guess it. It was just a trick to lure the other party into thinking he had guessed something and say it himself.
"You guessed it right, my husband often hangs around the guest house and doesn't care about family affairs, even my lovely little Annie often doesn't see her father." The hostess trusted Leal, so she sighed and complained to him , the distaste for the annex was palpable, "That's really a place that should be burned down."
Leal smiled, "In that case, I will share this worry for Madam."
"……you?"
"I also feel sorry for that dangerous annex, where epidemics may break out at any time, although your husband's behavior is quite inappropriate, but you probably don't want him to get sick and contaminate you and your family." Beloved girl."
These words touched the heart of the hostess, she nodded eagerly, and said to Leal: "What can you do?"
"I just need to tell the truth, but I am a soft-spoken person, and my words will definitely not reach the ears of the city lord, so I still need your recommendation, madam."
"Sir Sedas and I are members of the church, and we often have contacts in the affairs of the city. You are so knowledgeable, and the Lord of the City will definitely treat you as a guest of honor when he learns."
"Then don't bother Madam."
Leal's goal has been achieved, and he just needs to wait in peace.He returned to the room prepared for him by the hostess and stayed quietly, whenever the black beast would appear to harass him.
"People are often influenced by the power of words."
"If the other party doesn't tell you, you don't know, but you can infer something from other speech and behavior." Leal asked: "Can't the devil? Language represents thinking."
"Most of their behavior is driven by instinct."
Leal lowered his voice, "So your instinct drives you to devour me... what is that?" He saw another shadow appearing next to the beast shadow, like an independent person, the two shadows had completely different contour.
"My shadow." The black beast stretched out its claws and slapped it away, and the shadow disappeared before it could make a sound. "It's very weak, I didn't expect you to be able to see it."
"Your shadow has a different consciousness from yours?"
"I can freely shuttle and control the shadow, but the black beast itself naturally has a shadow." It explained impatiently, with a low voice, "It doesn't matter, it can be destroyed at will, and it lingers like a real shadow."
Leal was really amazed at the structure of the black beast, it really wasn't an ordinary demon.
Three days later he received an invitation to the annex.Sedas, the lord of Heli, was a fat middle-aged man, and entertained Leal while holding two naked youths in his arms in the smoky annex.
Unable to see anything left and right, Leal met the castellan's scrutiny without turning his eyes, and told him that the orphans in the annex were all infected with strange diseases that were difficult to identify in the closed space, and if an outbreak occurred, it might bring disasters to the entire city. plague.
The scheming city lord was naturally not as easy to fool as the noble lady, so Leal stepped forward and casually took a naked boy's hand, and dripped the medicine on his skin, and purple bruises appeared on his arm in a short while.
"What is this, deceptive magic?" The city lord naturally didn't believe it, but he still pushed the male prostitute off the sofa as if he was disgusted.
"It's definitely not magic. You can send any mage to test this potion." Leal said, taking out the potion he just used from his pocket, "With all due respect, my lord, what you did Angered the angels, they are going to bring divine punishment on this city."
"What nonsense!"
Leal pursed his lips and smiled, "You can distrust me, but you have to believe in your faith. It is recorded in ancient books that when an angel sees a sin in the world, he sends down purple thunder to clear away the sin. Doesn't this pattern coincide with this record? "
Sedas looked at the lightning-shaped purple spots on his arm, and he couldn't help but think of that record as a pious man, showing imperceptible horror on his face.
He gritted his molars for a long time before saying, "Then how to do it."
"These people in the annex can only be purified by me. But the reason why they get sick is because although orphans are abandoned, they are still born by their mothers. These children are born with regret and resentment, and naturally they are easily contaminated with unclean things. I advise the city lord From now on, my lord...don't do this kind of business."
"But Heli City's taxation and the function of the annex still have a certain impact..." The city lord's breath was full of surprise, but he had obviously heard it, and Leal decided to add fire at the end.
"Continuing like this may cause you to lose your achievements, and it will be difficult for you to be inspired by the angels to go to heaven."
The potion is a color-changing dye that has already been prepared. The material is brought by Leal from the previous city. People here may have never even heard of it.Leal's experience in dealing with these people who claim to have faith can be described as perfect.
When Leal came out of the annex, he let out a long sigh of relief. Behind him was a long line of people of different heights, both men and women, who trembled and didn't know what their fate would be next.
Leal really wants to say that you are free, but the acting has to be done until the last moment.He lifted a lantern, distributed a burqa to each scantily clad, and led them through the city to the gates.
It seems that the city lord has already issued an announcement, and most of the onlookers stayed away for fear of being infected with the disease. Originally, they did not treat these orphans as the same kind, but now they looked more like a group of cats and dogs being chased away.The gate of the city was wide open, and Leal walked in the front in a black dress with eyes covered and a mask, followed by figures of all sizes in pitch-black burqas.
The whole team marched slowly, and the scene was a bit solemn.
The black beast asked Leal, "Even so, you don't think the city lord is guilty?"
"It is true that he has sinned deeply, but he did not do it alone. There is a huge interest group behind him, and they share the same hatred. Even if the city lord is taken care of today, a new agent will be elected tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Leal did not Looking back, Ao, who was hiding here when passing by the mass grave, joined the team, and he whispered in the crowd to comfort the people who didn't know where the future was.
Leal smiled reluctantly, "It's better to change the city lord's concept slightly and let him persuade his interest groups. As for how long it can last, I can't control it."
"But don't you think it's a little too easy?"
After walking far enough, Leal stopped, looked back in Heli's direction, and replied to the black beast, "Maybe the city lord has long felt that this industry has drawbacks, maybe he discovered it with conscience, or maybe it's something else we don't know The reason. But the fact is, what you think is unbelievably unattainable is actually a lot easier than you think.”
Leal shook his head, "The most important thing is that these orphans are not important to him at all, and it is quite easy to discard unimportant things."
"You demons are inherently powerful, so naturally you don't need to beat around the bush."
Lyall was worried about something else now.
If these people have been following him, they will definitely be contaminated by the demonic energy of the black beast around him, and will fall into hell after death.
The fate of innocent lambs should not be so tragic after death.
Leal thought over and over again, and brought these people to the port through mountains and rivers, and taught them the basic rules of dealing with people along the way. It took a long time just to change their notion that he was not their new master.They have been submissive for a long time, and it will take some time to fully return to normal human behavior.
Ao recovered the fastest, he was polite and gentle, and he was able to help Lyall.He doesn't mind the scars on his body at all, and often smiles, as if he has been born again.
But the scars in my heart will take time to heal slowly.
Leal has no friends in this land, but he has visited Nolan, the academic capital across the sea. There are many veritable academic halls, and it is also a place where he has thought about settling down.
But Leal can't stay in one place for too long.
When people who have never been out of Heli in their life saw the sea for the first time, they were both surprised and happy, and most of them showed long-lost smiles.
In this short period of time, they have learned to support and comfort each other, and the numbness on their faces has gradually receded.Humans are indeed an extremely tough race at all times.
He felt that the opportunity was now.
"Black Beast, are you there?" Leal stroked his mask.
"Why, are you finally going to confess to me and come to hell to accompany me?"
"Good idea." Leal stepped on his own shadow, then half-knelt down and said to it, "Can you condense your body and take off the mask for me?"
"What?" The black beast entered without knowing.
"In the Epidemic religion, the person who takes off the monk's bone mask will always be with him for life. Although this is not my belief, it sounds quite appropriate." Leal suppressed a smile, "It seems that I can't get rid of you, You have to keep pestering me."
The black beast was speechless, unexpectedly, Leal didn't say anything, and condensed a rather solid human-shaped black shadow to take off the mask for him.
"You really don't have a human face," Leal said regretfully.
"Oh, you can go to hell if you want to see it."
No time to lament the reappearance of the long-lost light, he took out his wallet and got off the boat and led everyone aboard.
Leal handed the mask to Al. "This thing is made of Cassindur steel, which is not a material of this world. You give this thing to the "Eleventh Society" of the Academy Council as a welcome gift, and they will take you there to study."
Leal smiled. "I can't be with you. You are free to pursue your own lives."
"God, are you going to abandon us?" Ao looked sad and frightened.
"No." Leal patted his head, "You have the right to pursue your own happiness, you are no longer the playthings and vassals of others, you are yourself. Go to Nolan to learn what you are interested in, and then realize your own value .”
"Smile often and try to live your life as a human being."
Leal would not know that the young man named O came to Nolan as he wished, entered the seminary and became the closed disciple of the theologian Paul.After resuming his real name Olysius, he politely refused to enter the Eleventh Academy after graduation, secretly stole the "unnamed crown" which was recorded as the No. Followed the trail of a dark god, studied the tomes of demonology and fell into hell after death.
With the longing for the evil god, after a long time, he and his like-minded people began to sacrifice human beings, and a city of shadows rose from the edge of the dark forest.
Now Leal is just standing at the port and watching them go away, not knowing what the future holds.
He had only this dark beast by his side.
"Even though I can see things, you still seem to be the most intense thing in my eyes, Black Beast." Leal was extremely distressed.
"There is a sea of stars in your eyes." The voice of the black beast fell into his ears, and Leal smiled, blocking the sunlight and looking up at the sky.
"A person's life is so short. Someone once told me that you should always be ready to bid farewell to this world."
The black beast asked: "Can't your great deeds make you live forever?"
Leal shook his head, "Decades is a long time, a thousand times more than this? I don't want it at all."
Then can you choose it to accompany me.
The Black Beast didn't ask the question until the end, but it got the answer many years later.
But now it will never know again.
"I have come from a faraway land. My homeland, my friends and relatives, even my enemies are gone."
I don't even know why I'm still alive.
Leal's tone of voice sounded like he was humming a song.
Will you be my reason for living?
With trembling and secret anticipation, Leal embarked on a wandering journey again.
Past Chapter One (End)
=======
The holiday is over, and there are only a few days left in the first half of October, so it will be a little busy.There will be an update tomorrow, there will be an update tomorrow (repeat three, because it was written today), there will be no updates on the 9th, 10th, and 11th, and I have to deal with the company's affairs. Let’s talk about the estimated update time, I’ve been busy for three days.
The amount of information in this past chapter is actually... quite large?
Thank you for reading the text www!
[-]. In hell, learn to watch words and expressions to avoid being accidentally injured
So, that person is...
The time for Leal to return to the Shadow City was shorter than he expected. This time, he did not suppress his magic breath. The demons with sensitive senses in the city retreated after smelling his breath, remembering the past entanglement between the green demon and the black beast. The ones in the middle of the road immediately oiled the soles of their feet, for fear of being accidentally injured in this boundary.
After all, the North Hell and the East Hell once had the highest record of destroying five cities and permanently changing three landforms because of the two of them fighting.All the demons decided that it was not a good thing for the green demon to come to the dark forest, and the shadow city was more than half empty in an instant.
There was no one in the library, and Gu Luo was still paralyzed by the wall. Leal pinched a piece of emerald silver leaf from his pocket, clamped it between his fingers and read a tracing spell.What a ghost, he would actually use this kind of spell that requires magic materials to cast in his lifetime. (Note 1)
The emerald silver leaf turned into a small arrow and flew up and down to follow him to guide him. Leal flicked the arrow impatiently with his finger to make it move faster, and then the small arrow flew out with a whoosh. In front of the door of the room, he slammed on the brakes, shaking his head and pointing here.
The door was not locked, and Leal pushed the door directly and entered, but was almost hit by the sweet fragrance of Huoguo inside.
The burning incense in the room almost formed a mist, and Leal raised his hand to extinguish the incense stick.The person sitting on the chair just stood up, "Excuse me..."
"Oh, is it you?" Leal had morbidly deep memories of the past, and naturally he also remembered the young man who had suffered misfortune at that time.He didn't recognize it immediately before, except that the other party's burqa only showed his eyes, and it was also because Leal never thought that Al would fall into hell.
He could not have become a fallen man.
"Yes, you...?" Olysius opened his eyes wide in the mist, and obviously recognized Leal, he took off his mask and said with trembling lips: "Have you finally come to see me, Leia My lord, has God finally heard my voice?"
"You didn't keep the agreement with me, O." Leal asked puzzled, "Why did you fall into hell?"
"I obeyed. God allowed me to live a happy life. I did it, and then followed God's footsteps to hell." Olysius said, "This is what I want in my heart."
"Then why sacrifice human beings to build the Shadow City. You were an innocent lamb, but now you have killed them too." Looking at the other party's calm eyes, Leal felt a sense of anger in his heart.
"I heard the voice of God. He recognized me and ordered me to build a city here." Olysius's face was still gentle, and when he said this, he still showed the joy of being caught in memory, "The human beings we sacrificed are dyed bodies. The sick of the plague, even if they do nothing, they will die. We have given them eternal peace and sent them to the arms of God."
"These people can be reincarnated even if they die in the human world. After falling into hell, they will only be enslaved by you and then disappear without a future." Leal said, "Why can you still decide the life and death of others so calmly?"
"I follow God's will!" Olysius's eyes showed some kind of fanaticism, as if a flame was burning quietly inside. "That day He came to me in person, yes, it was the appearance in my memory, a dark shadow, the incarnation of chaos that can make people fall into it..."
Leal couldn't bear it anymore, "That's not your god at all! Ferris lied to you!"
"I don't know what Ferris is. God is God, He came, He answered my call..." Olysius took a step forward, but was pinned in place by Leal's cold gaze.Soon his immobility turned into a real prison, and a shadow cage rose from under his feet to envelop him.
"Where's the mask?" Leal asked in a deep voice.
"The nameless crown is in the underground sanctuary, do you want to take it away?" After being locked up for no reason, Olysius did not have a particularly violent reaction, as if all his strong emotions followed the gods in his mind And fluctuate.
Apart from the strong feelings, there is only the silence like stagnant water.
"That was originally my thing. I took it off to help you, and I thought it was an opportunity..." Leal regretted, "But you were deceived by him."
Olysius panicked, "Why don't you believe me, aren't you the messenger of God?"
——.
Amidst the strong aroma, Leal heard a familiar voice.
[Look at me, Leal. 】
His body tensed up suddenly.
The black figure was like a solitary boat, breaking through the dim fog in front of Leal's eyes and coming to his side.
He put his lips next to Leal's ear, and said in a dreamlike illusory tone, in a low voice that Leal was extremely familiar with——
[Why don't you believe me?I am the same. 】
Leal took a breath.
"you……"
"Master Leal, what's the matter with you?" Even Olysius noticed the abnormality that Leal tried to hide.
When Olysius' voice reached Leal's ears, there were only hazy ripples left. His eyes were slightly open, as if he was sinking in water, the frozen blood stagnated in his body, and his fingers were trembling slightly.
Lyall's hallucinations continue.He stared at the tall figure in front of him in a daze, with that malicious smile and murderous eyes...
"No...you've disappeared."
Leal seemed to be half-footed in the memory, unable to look away, and desperately trying to get out, he subconsciously shouted, "Felinnay...Felinnay!"
By the way, he just told Felinnai not to follow.
He cannot depend on others.Leal tremblingly raised his hand to tear up the phantom himself, but at this moment the stretched fingers were held.
A curtain of black shadows gently wrapped around him, and the hallucinations vanished.In an instant, Leal's feet stepped on a ground that was made of a completely different material from that just now, and Felinnay still held his hand, wrapping his shoulders so that Leal could lean into his arms.
This is his Felinne, his love is here.
Leal lowered his head, resting his forehead on Felinnai's chest, listening to the beating of his heart in his chest.The phantom was gone, and so was the voice. Leal slowly came back to his senses, but he didn't want to move at all.
"There is a crown-like mask in the underground sanctuary..." As soon as Leal finished speaking, what he wanted was handed to him by a black shadow in the shape of a beast's claw.
The blood came back to Leal's face when his hands touched the cold metal.
"This thing has been with me for many years." He said to Felinnai, "I didn't expect it to come back to me."
Felinnai didn't answer, Leal knew he was listening, and said again: "Don't do anything to that fallen man just now, I will deal with it."
"Ants." Felinnai meant that he didn't bother to eat them.
Leal smiled, he broke free from Felinnai's embrace, and frowned while staring at the mask in his hand. "If I wear it, I'll lose my eyesight again."
Felinnai has no interest in exploring this thing, "I haven't asked you why you need a new magic weapon."
"You never asked me why I want your power ring."
Felinnay said of course, "Everything about me belongs to you."
Not to share with him, but to belong.
Leal raised the corners of his mouth and put the mask away. "The answer to this question is kept secret for the time being. But I suddenly figured out that I don't need to see anything. You are enough for me."
Leal took Felinnai's hand and walked to a more open place.After learning about the origin of the Shadow City, he felt even worse about it. He belatedly realized that it was similar in style to the palace where the Black Beast was destroyed, with obsidian floors, hard and cold pillars, black gray The two-color decorative glass... the pointed towers looked at the blood-soaked city like giants watching coldly, and their flesh and blood were also shaped by the lives of countless black lambs.
At this time, Leal heard a vague whistle sound from nowhere, and at the same time there was commotion not far away.Leal recognized that it was the direction of the library, and saw Gu Luo, a giant who had been silent before, suddenly violently burst up, smashing the wall and coming towards him.Leal pulled Felinnai to take a step sideways, and Gu Luo's legs brushed past them with a gust of wind, and then hit several walls and ran straight towards the forest.
"...Has Jaeger summoned him?" Otherwise, Gu Luo, who usually only listens to the orders of the leader, would not suddenly make a movement, and Jaeger is still alive.
Felinnai asked him, "Go and see?"
Leal dodged to catch up with Gu Luo, jumped onto the giant's shoulders and stood still, and answered Ferinnai with practical actions.
Even if a tall giant steps into the forest, the height of his shoulders is as high as the towering ancient trees.Leal reached out to pick up the little black cat that was also climbing the giant, and hugged him in his arms.
"Go see what Jaeger is up to."
=======
Note 1: Due to the crash course of Leal's half-way renunciation, all the skill points are focused on combat specialization, specializing in fast casting/high-speed chanting/omitting actions/simplified materials.He didn't memorize some spells that he thought were tasteless or unaesthetic, and he only learned the simplest version, and he needed to use auxiliary spell materials to cast them.
Don't have too much hope for this kind of pseudo-mage, if he was an orthodox mage, he would have been kicked out by the magic school or his own teacher, right?
Leal's height is 185, and Ferinnai's is 197. The difference between the two is about the height of a crazy mobile phone (. By human standards, Leal is very tall.
The next update is expected in three days!What a group!
For details, see the end of the last update w
This is indeed not a gag and daily sweet article, although this is a love story (the left arrow bold sentence), the protagonists still have to face "unavoidable crises, you can guess when there is no update? ? (Don't you think there is a crisis?
21. In hell, not only demons may be scary, but also advanced mathematics
Facts have proved that the giant’s shoulders are not so easy to stand on. Leal’s body is on the top of these trees, but Gu Luo’s way of walking without hesitation in the forest ecology has startled countless birds in the forest. Leal raised his hand It was blocked by a windproof barrier so that the face, mouth, leaves and bird feathers were not made.
Leal looked back at the winding traces of fallen vegetation where the giant had passed, and shook the cat in his arms. "Your forest."
"Mi." She didn't seem that concerned.
The demons in the forest don't live in groups, they each have their own territory, they seldom form alliances, and like to devour each other. The result of this tradition is that after tens of thousands of years, there are fewer and fewer pure demons in the dark forest.The more intelligent demons among the remaining ones realized that being enemies would do more harm than good, so they gradually laid down their armor. A few of them would leave the forest to go outside to do harm, but most of them stopped.These demons consider themselves very powerful and disdain to be with humans, but they are also stagnant.
Some demonologists once made the conclusion that hell will eventually be occupied by human beings. Now that I think about it, it is true. The endless internal friction of pure demons gives fallen people an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the turning point of everything happened a hundred years ago. battle.
The West of Hell was quickly occupied by the Fallen after the fall of Raymond, and the successor of the South of Hell was the disciple of the Fallen designated by the previous monarch. The pure demons lost half of their territory all of a sudden, but the two also reached a delicate balance.
At that time, human beings did not dare to step into the ancient forest, for fear of disturbing the dormant shadows of chaotic beasts.They don't want to have any grudges with the Eastern Hell, because the magic tome hangs above the mausoleum of nothingness, proving that the blue demon is the highest spellcaster in hell even if he is asleep.
When is the balance going to be broken, Leal thought, walking through the woods?The answer is obvious.
He may need to secretly pray that the new strongest mage will hide as long as possible, at least let him finish what he should do, and then hell will let them do whatever they want.
Gu Luo didn't react at all to the uninvited guest standing on him. He followed the intermittent whistle and repeated the movement of taking big strides through the canopy until he looked back at the spiers of the shadow city towers and disappeared for a long time. Leia Er's robes were soaked with dew, and the giant slowed at last.
Leal looked around.
Sure enough, he didn't see where it was at all.
"Where is this?" He woke up the drowsy black cat.
"Meow... ouch..." The little black cat curled its tail between its paws and opened its mouth to yawn.
It seems that the owner of the dark forest doesn't know what's special here.
"...Didn't you swear to me before that the dark forest is your back garden without a single leaf and you don't know where it came from?" Leal tugged on the cat's small ears, but the tip of the ear was trembling at his fingertips at all Can't hold it.
Daringly, Felinnai only cares about lying down at home, and he hasn't even inspected the back garden.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Luo stopped and knelt on one knee, completely motionless again.Leal jumped off him and found a workshop in the open area not far ahead.
Leal recognized it and felt relieved.It appears Jaeger is indeed alive and well.
The workshop of the head of the Endless Sea Artisan Group is in the shape of a dome tent, which is easy to disassemble and carry. Leal once visited the interior. It is very spacious. It should have used the magic technology of folding space, but he was almost killed by various zeros. Drowned in a sea of components, the workshop is as shabby as its owner.
The little black cat wrinkled its nose, jumped out of Leal's arms and squatted outside, no longer going in.Leal vaguely discerned that there was a potion to repel wild beasts outside the workshop, which was useless against black beasts, but Felinnai, who had turned into a cat, didn't like the smell subjectively, so it made sense that he didn't want to go in at all.
Knowing that there would be no answer when knocking on the door, Leal pushed the door straight in, kicked the crooked screaming vase at the door with a bang, and the vase suddenly let out a dying scream, the sound wave seemed to be able to shake the entire sea of trees Penetration is average.It was strange for Leal to use the Silencing Charm on a vase for the first time, but he was even more surprised that such a big movement did not disturb the people in the workshop.
"My calculation should not be wrong. Which parameter is wrong? It should be right around here. After finally monitoring this energy, I don't know how long it will take for the next calculation to respond... Where is it? wrong?!"
The man at the desk had a young face, slightly marred by the unshaven appearance.He tugged at his gray hair irritably, and the two machines with the same shape on the table spontaneously kept brushing and beating, and the papers that were spit out fell to the ground with a little thickness, and each piece was expensive white glazed paper.
In the ocean of white colored paper, the young man is still writing and drawing at the desk. He seems to have encountered a bottleneck, biting the penholder with his teeth, thinking in distress, and kept clapping a bell-like device at his hand. Leal heard it sound The sound is the whistle calling Gu Luo, reminding: "Your giant is already at the door, don't press it again."
The young man didn't seem to realize that someone was talking to him, and said without raising his head, "The traction sound wave is difficult to travel too far after being blocked by objects and other sounds. This thing should be improved. How can we make it so After it spreads, the rate of consumption slows down... Did Gu Luo hear it?!"
"He heard it, Jaeger." Leal sighed and called him again.
"Call me Abyssal Technician! I have abandoned my original name, outsiders can only call me Abyssal Technician!"
Leal was helpless, "Mr. Abyss Technician, wake up."
The gray-haired young man raised his head from the table, looked at Leal, thought for a while, and finally shouted, "Lial, it's you! You are still so beautiful, just like the stars in the sky Dazzling, it would be great if your charming eyes could be copied to my Laila, as well as this face and other parts. Unfortunately, my Laila is a delicate girl like an elf, but you are a man, alas...why are you Is it a man?"
Leal thought, Jaeger's long-winded as always, and this guy must have forgotten who he is, as for the rest of the speech, he'd better ignore it.
The head of the Endless Sea Craftsman Group and the abyssal engineer Jaeger Grant who leads a group of demon members is a real human being. He is not even a fallen person, but like Leal, he uses another method to avoid demon energy Violated living beings.
Leal is the only outsider who knows this secret so far. It's not that he knows the details, but Jaeger himself told him.Others may not have thought of this at all, and they were in disbelief that humans could achieve this, nor did they believe that demons could be governed by humans.
"The pursuit of learning and technology has no distinction between races!" Jaeger might answer his doubters.
As for why he called himself an abyssal technician, only I can understand the meaning.
He is an unfathomable man. Although unfathomable seems to be a curse word, its literal meaning is enough to describe Jaeger.
After all, exploring the mysteries of the soul and will has been a height that can only be achieved by those with extremely high wisdom throughout the ages.
"I'm a man, I'm so sorry. What the hell are you doing here? Your tree and other members of the regiment are worried about you."
"Of course it's for my Lila! I'm one step away from finishing her!" Jaeger became frantic, and this excitement made Leal frowned thinking of O's eyes.But Jaeger doesn't know what to say, and he described it vividly, "Create a body that can carry the soul! The combination of body and soul, a test of the learning ability of dual races! It's only one step away from capturing the spirit stored in the nameless crown." , my Leila is done
It turns out that murder can be called just injury, and prostitutes need to use a more dignified term to be considered elegant.
The jury murmured after the lady promised to pay for the loss of the hotel and donate money to the annex as compensation.
It turns out that as long as it is judged to be insane and accidentally kills, it can be regarded as a poor person and exempted from guilt.
Leal also heard the discussion of the citizens next to him.
"Don't let the orphans in the other hall come out to pick up guests, it will make the outside smoky."
"That's right. Wait until the next town meeting, and think about presenting this proposal to the city lord."
Leal left without waiting for the verdict to be announced.
"It really looks like a mature industry. People may criticize it at first, but it becomes commonplace over time." The voice of the black beast echoed in Leal's ear, "Does it feel absurd?"
"I've seen many more absurd and funny things." Leal turned back the same way, and it was already late at night when he reached the outskirts of the city.
He pushed open the door of the gravekeeper's hut, and the person inside shrank like a frightened animal. When he saw the person at the door, he flinched and tried, "Is...you...?"
Leal walked over to check O's limbs, "It's all right."
Ao knelt on the bed, staring at Leal in front of him, "How could I, this must be a miracle... My god, oh my God... You are like the master of shadows..."
Leal paused, "What do you think of me now?"
The young man clasped his fingers together, his eyes sparkled, "You are a dark and deep shadow, are you going to devour me?"
Because of facing death directly, can you see the existence of the black beast with mortal eyes from now on?This may not be a good thing.
But Leal didn't have time to delve into the details.He gave Ao the casual clothes he bought, but the other party refused to wear them, and insisted on holding on to the blood-stained black burqa.
Leal had no choice but to change him again with a clean black suit.
After Ao fell asleep, the black beast said to Leal: "Is he seeing you or me now?"
"It's us. Don't forget, in fact, you are also a part of saving him."
The voice smiled contemptuously, "So, are you planning to take this little guy away and fly away? It's a good deal for being cute and warming the bed."
Leal snorted coldly.
"There are other orphans in the annex."
"You don't want to rescue them all, do you?" Black Beast disagreed, "Do you need me to do it for you?"
"Didn't you say that your body is in hell, and you can't exert your strength in the world?"
"That's just to trick you into relaxing your vigilance." Hei Beast said with a smile, "You don't really believe it, do you?"
"..."
"It's [-]% useless, but it's too easy to destroy a mere city."
Leal immediately dismissed its idea, "No need. After the devil makes a move, everyone here will fall into hell after death."
"Isn't that good? Or do you think their sins won't fall to hell?" Black Beast asked in a low voice, "Are you qualified to judge, Leal?"
"I didn't, but you didn't either." Leal looked at Ao who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and was a little relieved, because the luster covering the other's soul was a little brighter.
"Humans can solve problems in their own way."
Lyal was the guest of one of the city's noblemen two days later.
The hostess of this wealthy family is a devout believer. After Leal spent some time talking nonsense about the inextricable origins of Epidemic Cult and Angel Belief, she gave Leal the necessary trust, and just yesterday he did it for this The lady's beloved daughter cured the disease, and the hostess wholeheartedly regarded him as an honored guest.
It was a trick Leal had picked up by chance while he was looking for an opportunity in the city.The reason why this family was chosen as the entry point was that there was a notice on the square offering rewards to doctors, which stated that they were treating incurable diseases for respected noble families.In fact, what the little girl had was not terminally ill, it was just a little strange. When Leal was walking in the world, she just encountered this kind of illness and knew how to cure it.
He cured the little girl with ordinary treatment methods, and the hostess was sure that Leal was the messenger sent by the heavens to save their family. Soon she also found that the plague monk was very knowledgeable, so she planned to pull her away every day. Go to him to discuss beliefs and knowledge from various places to relieve boredom.
A few days later, during the afternoon tea with the hostess, Leal seemingly casually "looked" in the direction of the annex, with a worried expression on his face.
In fact, it is really difficult for people to see his expression while wearing a mask, but Leal worked hard, and soon the hostess noticed his strange appearance and asked, "Did you feel something?"
Some believers spontaneously believe that blind people can see things they cannot see, so they pay special attention to the behavior of these people.
Leal sighed, "Ever since I entered the city, I have noticed that the air of the disease is lingering over the other building, but I don't know what kind of place it is."
"It's a brothel. It's full of orphans. The city lord raised them, so they naturally have to make some contributions to Heli." Speaking of this, the hostess' tone was a little impatient, "I heard that some time ago It’s a filthy place where people are killed.”
"It seems Madam doesn't like that place very much." Leal smelled something unusual, "Could it be—"
He prolonged his voice, but he didn't actually guess it. It was just a trick to lure the other party into thinking he had guessed something and say it himself.
"You guessed it right, my husband often hangs around the guest house and doesn't care about family affairs, even my lovely little Annie often doesn't see her father." The hostess trusted Leal, so she sighed and complained to him , the distaste for the annex was palpable, "That's really a place that should be burned down."
Leal smiled, "In that case, I will share this worry for Madam."
"……you?"
"I also feel sorry for that dangerous annex, where epidemics may break out at any time, although your husband's behavior is quite inappropriate, but you probably don't want him to get sick and contaminate you and your family." Beloved girl."
These words touched the heart of the hostess, she nodded eagerly, and said to Leal: "What can you do?"
"I just need to tell the truth, but I am a soft-spoken person, and my words will definitely not reach the ears of the city lord, so I still need your recommendation, madam."
"Sir Sedas and I are members of the church, and we often have contacts in the affairs of the city. You are so knowledgeable, and the Lord of the City will definitely treat you as a guest of honor when he learns."
"Then don't bother Madam."
Leal's goal has been achieved, and he just needs to wait in peace.He returned to the room prepared for him by the hostess and stayed quietly, whenever the black beast would appear to harass him.
"People are often influenced by the power of words."
"If the other party doesn't tell you, you don't know, but you can infer something from other speech and behavior." Leal asked: "Can't the devil? Language represents thinking."
"Most of their behavior is driven by instinct."
Leal lowered his voice, "So your instinct drives you to devour me... what is that?" He saw another shadow appearing next to the beast shadow, like an independent person, the two shadows had completely different contour.
"My shadow." The black beast stretched out its claws and slapped it away, and the shadow disappeared before it could make a sound. "It's very weak, I didn't expect you to be able to see it."
"Your shadow has a different consciousness from yours?"
"I can freely shuttle and control the shadow, but the black beast itself naturally has a shadow." It explained impatiently, with a low voice, "It doesn't matter, it can be destroyed at will, and it lingers like a real shadow."
Leal was really amazed at the structure of the black beast, it really wasn't an ordinary demon.
Three days later he received an invitation to the annex.Sedas, the lord of Heli, was a fat middle-aged man, and entertained Leal while holding two naked youths in his arms in the smoky annex.
Unable to see anything left and right, Leal met the castellan's scrutiny without turning his eyes, and told him that the orphans in the annex were all infected with strange diseases that were difficult to identify in the closed space, and if an outbreak occurred, it might bring disasters to the entire city. plague.
The scheming city lord was naturally not as easy to fool as the noble lady, so Leal stepped forward and casually took a naked boy's hand, and dripped the medicine on his skin, and purple bruises appeared on his arm in a short while.
"What is this, deceptive magic?" The city lord naturally didn't believe it, but he still pushed the male prostitute off the sofa as if he was disgusted.
"It's definitely not magic. You can send any mage to test this potion." Leal said, taking out the potion he just used from his pocket, "With all due respect, my lord, what you did Angered the angels, they are going to bring divine punishment on this city."
"What nonsense!"
Leal pursed his lips and smiled, "You can distrust me, but you have to believe in your faith. It is recorded in ancient books that when an angel sees a sin in the world, he sends down purple thunder to clear away the sin. Doesn't this pattern coincide with this record? "
Sedas looked at the lightning-shaped purple spots on his arm, and he couldn't help but think of that record as a pious man, showing imperceptible horror on his face.
He gritted his molars for a long time before saying, "Then how to do it."
"These people in the annex can only be purified by me. But the reason why they get sick is because although orphans are abandoned, they are still born by their mothers. These children are born with regret and resentment, and naturally they are easily contaminated with unclean things. I advise the city lord From now on, my lord...don't do this kind of business."
"But Heli City's taxation and the function of the annex still have a certain impact..." The city lord's breath was full of surprise, but he had obviously heard it, and Leal decided to add fire at the end.
"Continuing like this may cause you to lose your achievements, and it will be difficult for you to be inspired by the angels to go to heaven."
The potion is a color-changing dye that has already been prepared. The material is brought by Leal from the previous city. People here may have never even heard of it.Leal's experience in dealing with these people who claim to have faith can be described as perfect.
When Leal came out of the annex, he let out a long sigh of relief. Behind him was a long line of people of different heights, both men and women, who trembled and didn't know what their fate would be next.
Leal really wants to say that you are free, but the acting has to be done until the last moment.He lifted a lantern, distributed a burqa to each scantily clad, and led them through the city to the gates.
It seems that the city lord has already issued an announcement, and most of the onlookers stayed away for fear of being infected with the disease. Originally, they did not treat these orphans as the same kind, but now they looked more like a group of cats and dogs being chased away.The gate of the city was wide open, and Leal walked in the front in a black dress with eyes covered and a mask, followed by figures of all sizes in pitch-black burqas.
The whole team marched slowly, and the scene was a bit solemn.
The black beast asked Leal, "Even so, you don't think the city lord is guilty?"
"It is true that he has sinned deeply, but he did not do it alone. There is a huge interest group behind him, and they share the same hatred. Even if the city lord is taken care of today, a new agent will be elected tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Leal did not Looking back, Ao, who was hiding here when passing by the mass grave, joined the team, and he whispered in the crowd to comfort the people who didn't know where the future was.
Leal smiled reluctantly, "It's better to change the city lord's concept slightly and let him persuade his interest groups. As for how long it can last, I can't control it."
"But don't you think it's a little too easy?"
After walking far enough, Leal stopped, looked back in Heli's direction, and replied to the black beast, "Maybe the city lord has long felt that this industry has drawbacks, maybe he discovered it with conscience, or maybe it's something else we don't know The reason. But the fact is, what you think is unbelievably unattainable is actually a lot easier than you think.”
Leal shook his head, "The most important thing is that these orphans are not important to him at all, and it is quite easy to discard unimportant things."
"You demons are inherently powerful, so naturally you don't need to beat around the bush."
Lyall was worried about something else now.
If these people have been following him, they will definitely be contaminated by the demonic energy of the black beast around him, and will fall into hell after death.
The fate of innocent lambs should not be so tragic after death.
Leal thought over and over again, and brought these people to the port through mountains and rivers, and taught them the basic rules of dealing with people along the way. It took a long time just to change their notion that he was not their new master.They have been submissive for a long time, and it will take some time to fully return to normal human behavior.
Ao recovered the fastest, he was polite and gentle, and he was able to help Lyall.He doesn't mind the scars on his body at all, and often smiles, as if he has been born again.
But the scars in my heart will take time to heal slowly.
Leal has no friends in this land, but he has visited Nolan, the academic capital across the sea. There are many veritable academic halls, and it is also a place where he has thought about settling down.
But Leal can't stay in one place for too long.
When people who have never been out of Heli in their life saw the sea for the first time, they were both surprised and happy, and most of them showed long-lost smiles.
In this short period of time, they have learned to support and comfort each other, and the numbness on their faces has gradually receded.Humans are indeed an extremely tough race at all times.
He felt that the opportunity was now.
"Black Beast, are you there?" Leal stroked his mask.
"Why, are you finally going to confess to me and come to hell to accompany me?"
"Good idea." Leal stepped on his own shadow, then half-knelt down and said to it, "Can you condense your body and take off the mask for me?"
"What?" The black beast entered without knowing.
"In the Epidemic religion, the person who takes off the monk's bone mask will always be with him for life. Although this is not my belief, it sounds quite appropriate." Leal suppressed a smile, "It seems that I can't get rid of you, You have to keep pestering me."
The black beast was speechless, unexpectedly, Leal didn't say anything, and condensed a rather solid human-shaped black shadow to take off the mask for him.
"You really don't have a human face," Leal said regretfully.
"Oh, you can go to hell if you want to see it."
No time to lament the reappearance of the long-lost light, he took out his wallet and got off the boat and led everyone aboard.
Leal handed the mask to Al. "This thing is made of Cassindur steel, which is not a material of this world. You give this thing to the "Eleventh Society" of the Academy Council as a welcome gift, and they will take you there to study."
Leal smiled. "I can't be with you. You are free to pursue your own lives."
"God, are you going to abandon us?" Ao looked sad and frightened.
"No." Leal patted his head, "You have the right to pursue your own happiness, you are no longer the playthings and vassals of others, you are yourself. Go to Nolan to learn what you are interested in, and then realize your own value .”
"Smile often and try to live your life as a human being."
Leal would not know that the young man named O came to Nolan as he wished, entered the seminary and became the closed disciple of the theologian Paul.After resuming his real name Olysius, he politely refused to enter the Eleventh Academy after graduation, secretly stole the "unnamed crown" which was recorded as the No. Followed the trail of a dark god, studied the tomes of demonology and fell into hell after death.
With the longing for the evil god, after a long time, he and his like-minded people began to sacrifice human beings, and a city of shadows rose from the edge of the dark forest.
Now Leal is just standing at the port and watching them go away, not knowing what the future holds.
He had only this dark beast by his side.
"Even though I can see things, you still seem to be the most intense thing in my eyes, Black Beast." Leal was extremely distressed.
"There is a sea of stars in your eyes." The voice of the black beast fell into his ears, and Leal smiled, blocking the sunlight and looking up at the sky.
"A person's life is so short. Someone once told me that you should always be ready to bid farewell to this world."
The black beast asked: "Can't your great deeds make you live forever?"
Leal shook his head, "Decades is a long time, a thousand times more than this? I don't want it at all."
Then can you choose it to accompany me.
The Black Beast didn't ask the question until the end, but it got the answer many years later.
But now it will never know again.
"I have come from a faraway land. My homeland, my friends and relatives, even my enemies are gone."
I don't even know why I'm still alive.
Leal's tone of voice sounded like he was humming a song.
Will you be my reason for living?
With trembling and secret anticipation, Leal embarked on a wandering journey again.
Past Chapter One (End)
=======
The holiday is over, and there are only a few days left in the first half of October, so it will be a little busy.There will be an update tomorrow, there will be an update tomorrow (repeat three, because it was written today), there will be no updates on the 9th, 10th, and 11th, and I have to deal with the company's affairs. Let’s talk about the estimated update time, I’ve been busy for three days.
The amount of information in this past chapter is actually... quite large?
Thank you for reading the text www!
[-]. In hell, learn to watch words and expressions to avoid being accidentally injured
So, that person is...
The time for Leal to return to the Shadow City was shorter than he expected. This time, he did not suppress his magic breath. The demons with sensitive senses in the city retreated after smelling his breath, remembering the past entanglement between the green demon and the black beast. The ones in the middle of the road immediately oiled the soles of their feet, for fear of being accidentally injured in this boundary.
After all, the North Hell and the East Hell once had the highest record of destroying five cities and permanently changing three landforms because of the two of them fighting.All the demons decided that it was not a good thing for the green demon to come to the dark forest, and the shadow city was more than half empty in an instant.
There was no one in the library, and Gu Luo was still paralyzed by the wall. Leal pinched a piece of emerald silver leaf from his pocket, clamped it between his fingers and read a tracing spell.What a ghost, he would actually use this kind of spell that requires magic materials to cast in his lifetime. (Note 1)
The emerald silver leaf turned into a small arrow and flew up and down to follow him to guide him. Leal flicked the arrow impatiently with his finger to make it move faster, and then the small arrow flew out with a whoosh. In front of the door of the room, he slammed on the brakes, shaking his head and pointing here.
The door was not locked, and Leal pushed the door directly and entered, but was almost hit by the sweet fragrance of Huoguo inside.
The burning incense in the room almost formed a mist, and Leal raised his hand to extinguish the incense stick.The person sitting on the chair just stood up, "Excuse me..."
"Oh, is it you?" Leal had morbidly deep memories of the past, and naturally he also remembered the young man who had suffered misfortune at that time.He didn't recognize it immediately before, except that the other party's burqa only showed his eyes, and it was also because Leal never thought that Al would fall into hell.
He could not have become a fallen man.
"Yes, you...?" Olysius opened his eyes wide in the mist, and obviously recognized Leal, he took off his mask and said with trembling lips: "Have you finally come to see me, Leia My lord, has God finally heard my voice?"
"You didn't keep the agreement with me, O." Leal asked puzzled, "Why did you fall into hell?"
"I obeyed. God allowed me to live a happy life. I did it, and then followed God's footsteps to hell." Olysius said, "This is what I want in my heart."
"Then why sacrifice human beings to build the Shadow City. You were an innocent lamb, but now you have killed them too." Looking at the other party's calm eyes, Leal felt a sense of anger in his heart.
"I heard the voice of God. He recognized me and ordered me to build a city here." Olysius's face was still gentle, and when he said this, he still showed the joy of being caught in memory, "The human beings we sacrificed are dyed bodies. The sick of the plague, even if they do nothing, they will die. We have given them eternal peace and sent them to the arms of God."
"These people can be reincarnated even if they die in the human world. After falling into hell, they will only be enslaved by you and then disappear without a future." Leal said, "Why can you still decide the life and death of others so calmly?"
"I follow God's will!" Olysius's eyes showed some kind of fanaticism, as if a flame was burning quietly inside. "That day He came to me in person, yes, it was the appearance in my memory, a dark shadow, the incarnation of chaos that can make people fall into it..."
Leal couldn't bear it anymore, "That's not your god at all! Ferris lied to you!"
"I don't know what Ferris is. God is God, He came, He answered my call..." Olysius took a step forward, but was pinned in place by Leal's cold gaze.Soon his immobility turned into a real prison, and a shadow cage rose from under his feet to envelop him.
"Where's the mask?" Leal asked in a deep voice.
"The nameless crown is in the underground sanctuary, do you want to take it away?" After being locked up for no reason, Olysius did not have a particularly violent reaction, as if all his strong emotions followed the gods in his mind And fluctuate.
Apart from the strong feelings, there is only the silence like stagnant water.
"That was originally my thing. I took it off to help you, and I thought it was an opportunity..." Leal regretted, "But you were deceived by him."
Olysius panicked, "Why don't you believe me, aren't you the messenger of God?"
——.
Amidst the strong aroma, Leal heard a familiar voice.
[Look at me, Leal. 】
His body tensed up suddenly.
The black figure was like a solitary boat, breaking through the dim fog in front of Leal's eyes and coming to his side.
He put his lips next to Leal's ear, and said in a dreamlike illusory tone, in a low voice that Leal was extremely familiar with——
[Why don't you believe me?I am the same. 】
Leal took a breath.
"you……"
"Master Leal, what's the matter with you?" Even Olysius noticed the abnormality that Leal tried to hide.
When Olysius' voice reached Leal's ears, there were only hazy ripples left. His eyes were slightly open, as if he was sinking in water, the frozen blood stagnated in his body, and his fingers were trembling slightly.
Lyall's hallucinations continue.He stared at the tall figure in front of him in a daze, with that malicious smile and murderous eyes...
"No...you've disappeared."
Leal seemed to be half-footed in the memory, unable to look away, and desperately trying to get out, he subconsciously shouted, "Felinnay...Felinnay!"
By the way, he just told Felinnai not to follow.
He cannot depend on others.Leal tremblingly raised his hand to tear up the phantom himself, but at this moment the stretched fingers were held.
A curtain of black shadows gently wrapped around him, and the hallucinations vanished.In an instant, Leal's feet stepped on a ground that was made of a completely different material from that just now, and Felinnay still held his hand, wrapping his shoulders so that Leal could lean into his arms.
This is his Felinne, his love is here.
Leal lowered his head, resting his forehead on Felinnai's chest, listening to the beating of his heart in his chest.The phantom was gone, and so was the voice. Leal slowly came back to his senses, but he didn't want to move at all.
"There is a crown-like mask in the underground sanctuary..." As soon as Leal finished speaking, what he wanted was handed to him by a black shadow in the shape of a beast's claw.
The blood came back to Leal's face when his hands touched the cold metal.
"This thing has been with me for many years." He said to Felinnai, "I didn't expect it to come back to me."
Felinnai didn't answer, Leal knew he was listening, and said again: "Don't do anything to that fallen man just now, I will deal with it."
"Ants." Felinnai meant that he didn't bother to eat them.
Leal smiled, he broke free from Felinnai's embrace, and frowned while staring at the mask in his hand. "If I wear it, I'll lose my eyesight again."
Felinnai has no interest in exploring this thing, "I haven't asked you why you need a new magic weapon."
"You never asked me why I want your power ring."
Felinnay said of course, "Everything about me belongs to you."
Not to share with him, but to belong.
Leal raised the corners of his mouth and put the mask away. "The answer to this question is kept secret for the time being. But I suddenly figured out that I don't need to see anything. You are enough for me."
Leal took Felinnai's hand and walked to a more open place.After learning about the origin of the Shadow City, he felt even worse about it. He belatedly realized that it was similar in style to the palace where the Black Beast was destroyed, with obsidian floors, hard and cold pillars, black gray The two-color decorative glass... the pointed towers looked at the blood-soaked city like giants watching coldly, and their flesh and blood were also shaped by the lives of countless black lambs.
At this time, Leal heard a vague whistle sound from nowhere, and at the same time there was commotion not far away.Leal recognized that it was the direction of the library, and saw Gu Luo, a giant who had been silent before, suddenly violently burst up, smashing the wall and coming towards him.Leal pulled Felinnai to take a step sideways, and Gu Luo's legs brushed past them with a gust of wind, and then hit several walls and ran straight towards the forest.
"...Has Jaeger summoned him?" Otherwise, Gu Luo, who usually only listens to the orders of the leader, would not suddenly make a movement, and Jaeger is still alive.
Felinnai asked him, "Go and see?"
Leal dodged to catch up with Gu Luo, jumped onto the giant's shoulders and stood still, and answered Ferinnai with practical actions.
Even if a tall giant steps into the forest, the height of his shoulders is as high as the towering ancient trees.Leal reached out to pick up the little black cat that was also climbing the giant, and hugged him in his arms.
"Go see what Jaeger is up to."
=======
Note 1: Due to the crash course of Leal's half-way renunciation, all the skill points are focused on combat specialization, specializing in fast casting/high-speed chanting/omitting actions/simplified materials.He didn't memorize some spells that he thought were tasteless or unaesthetic, and he only learned the simplest version, and he needed to use auxiliary spell materials to cast them.
Don't have too much hope for this kind of pseudo-mage, if he was an orthodox mage, he would have been kicked out by the magic school or his own teacher, right?
Leal's height is 185, and Ferinnai's is 197. The difference between the two is about the height of a crazy mobile phone (. By human standards, Leal is very tall.
The next update is expected in three days!What a group!

21. In hell, not only demons may be scary, but also advanced mathematics
Facts have proved that the giant’s shoulders are not so easy to stand on. Leal’s body is on the top of these trees, but Gu Luo’s way of walking without hesitation in the forest ecology has startled countless birds in the forest. Leal raised his hand It was blocked by a windproof barrier so that the face, mouth, leaves and bird feathers were not made.
Leal looked back at the winding traces of fallen vegetation where the giant had passed, and shook the cat in his arms. "Your forest."
"Mi." She didn't seem that concerned.
The demons in the forest don't live in groups, they each have their own territory, they seldom form alliances, and like to devour each other. The result of this tradition is that after tens of thousands of years, there are fewer and fewer pure demons in the dark forest.The more intelligent demons among the remaining ones realized that being enemies would do more harm than good, so they gradually laid down their armor. A few of them would leave the forest to go outside to do harm, but most of them stopped.These demons consider themselves very powerful and disdain to be with humans, but they are also stagnant.
Some demonologists once made the conclusion that hell will eventually be occupied by human beings. Now that I think about it, it is true. The endless internal friction of pure demons gives fallen people an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the turning point of everything happened a hundred years ago. battle.
The West of Hell was quickly occupied by the Fallen after the fall of Raymond, and the successor of the South of Hell was the disciple of the Fallen designated by the previous monarch. The pure demons lost half of their territory all of a sudden, but the two also reached a delicate balance.
At that time, human beings did not dare to step into the ancient forest, for fear of disturbing the dormant shadows of chaotic beasts.They don't want to have any grudges with the Eastern Hell, because the magic tome hangs above the mausoleum of nothingness, proving that the blue demon is the highest spellcaster in hell even if he is asleep.
When is the balance going to be broken, Leal thought, walking through the woods?The answer is obvious.
He may need to secretly pray that the new strongest mage will hide as long as possible, at least let him finish what he should do, and then hell will let them do whatever they want.
Gu Luo didn't react at all to the uninvited guest standing on him. He followed the intermittent whistle and repeated the movement of taking big strides through the canopy until he looked back at the spiers of the shadow city towers and disappeared for a long time. Leia Er's robes were soaked with dew, and the giant slowed at last.
Leal looked around.
Sure enough, he didn't see where it was at all.
"Where is this?" He woke up the drowsy black cat.
"Meow... ouch..." The little black cat curled its tail between its paws and opened its mouth to yawn.
It seems that the owner of the dark forest doesn't know what's special here.
"...Didn't you swear to me before that the dark forest is your back garden without a single leaf and you don't know where it came from?" Leal tugged on the cat's small ears, but the tip of the ear was trembling at his fingertips at all Can't hold it.
Daringly, Felinnai only cares about lying down at home, and he hasn't even inspected the back garden.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Luo stopped and knelt on one knee, completely motionless again.Leal jumped off him and found a workshop in the open area not far ahead.
Leal recognized it and felt relieved.It appears Jaeger is indeed alive and well.
The workshop of the head of the Endless Sea Artisan Group is in the shape of a dome tent, which is easy to disassemble and carry. Leal once visited the interior. It is very spacious. It should have used the magic technology of folding space, but he was almost killed by various zeros. Drowned in a sea of components, the workshop is as shabby as its owner.
The little black cat wrinkled its nose, jumped out of Leal's arms and squatted outside, no longer going in.Leal vaguely discerned that there was a potion to repel wild beasts outside the workshop, which was useless against black beasts, but Felinnai, who had turned into a cat, didn't like the smell subjectively, so it made sense that he didn't want to go in at all.
Knowing that there would be no answer when knocking on the door, Leal pushed the door straight in, kicked the crooked screaming vase at the door with a bang, and the vase suddenly let out a dying scream, the sound wave seemed to be able to shake the entire sea of trees Penetration is average.It was strange for Leal to use the Silencing Charm on a vase for the first time, but he was even more surprised that such a big movement did not disturb the people in the workshop.
"My calculation should not be wrong. Which parameter is wrong? It should be right around here. After finally monitoring this energy, I don't know how long it will take for the next calculation to respond... Where is it? wrong?!"
The man at the desk had a young face, slightly marred by the unshaven appearance.He tugged at his gray hair irritably, and the two machines with the same shape on the table spontaneously kept brushing and beating, and the papers that were spit out fell to the ground with a little thickness, and each piece was expensive white glazed paper.
In the ocean of white colored paper, the young man is still writing and drawing at the desk. He seems to have encountered a bottleneck, biting the penholder with his teeth, thinking in distress, and kept clapping a bell-like device at his hand. Leal heard it sound The sound is the whistle calling Gu Luo, reminding: "Your giant is already at the door, don't press it again."
The young man didn't seem to realize that someone was talking to him, and said without raising his head, "The traction sound wave is difficult to travel too far after being blocked by objects and other sounds. This thing should be improved. How can we make it so After it spreads, the rate of consumption slows down... Did Gu Luo hear it?!"
"He heard it, Jaeger." Leal sighed and called him again.
"Call me Abyssal Technician! I have abandoned my original name, outsiders can only call me Abyssal Technician!"
Leal was helpless, "Mr. Abyss Technician, wake up."
The gray-haired young man raised his head from the table, looked at Leal, thought for a while, and finally shouted, "Lial, it's you! You are still so beautiful, just like the stars in the sky Dazzling, it would be great if your charming eyes could be copied to my Laila, as well as this face and other parts. Unfortunately, my Laila is a delicate girl like an elf, but you are a man, alas...why are you Is it a man?"
Leal thought, Jaeger's long-winded as always, and this guy must have forgotten who he is, as for the rest of the speech, he'd better ignore it.
The head of the Endless Sea Craftsman Group and the abyssal engineer Jaeger Grant who leads a group of demon members is a real human being. He is not even a fallen person, but like Leal, he uses another method to avoid demon energy Violated living beings.
Leal is the only outsider who knows this secret so far. It's not that he knows the details, but Jaeger himself told him.Others may not have thought of this at all, and they were in disbelief that humans could achieve this, nor did they believe that demons could be governed by humans.
"The pursuit of learning and technology has no distinction between races!" Jaeger might answer his doubters.
As for why he called himself an abyssal technician, only I can understand the meaning.
He is an unfathomable man. Although unfathomable seems to be a curse word, its literal meaning is enough to describe Jaeger.
After all, exploring the mysteries of the soul and will has been a height that can only be achieved by those with extremely high wisdom throughout the ages.
"I'm a man, I'm so sorry. What the hell are you doing here? Your tree and other members of the regiment are worried about you."
"Of course it's for my Lila! I'm one step away from finishing her!" Jaeger became frantic, and this excitement made Leal frowned thinking of O's eyes.But Jaeger doesn't know what to say, and he described it vividly, "Create a body that can carry the soul! The combination of body and soul, a test of the learning ability of dual races! It's only one step away from capturing the spirit stored in the nameless crown." , my Leila is done
