boy and bone
Chapter 31 The Original Code
Gray's whole body trembled and he came to his senses.
He squinted his eyes, and there seemed to be a dark curtain in front of his eyes. His vision was still unclear, and his nose clearly smelled an annoying herbal smell in the damp and cold air.
"What are you doing..." Grai's limbs slowly regained strength, and he swept his hands in a circle around him indiscriminately. He grabbed a long pillar that looked like an upright iron rod, and used it as a support to stand up.
Maybe he lay on the ground in one position for too long, and his legs showed a lot of numbness after standing upright.
Gray's legs were numb, so he hurriedly held on to what was at hand.
It was an iron bed, which creaked when grasped hard, and it was not cold to the touch, smooth and gentle to the touch, it should be covered with the fur of wild beasts.
After the numbness in his legs had almost subsided, Grai flicked his legs and continued to explore in the dark.
However, he only took a few steps before he was pulled back by two forces from his neck and ankle at the same time, pulling him back to the original place.
Gray was startled, he touched his neck with his hand, and there was indeed an iron buckle there, he kicked his leg, and the sound of the iron chain came from his ankle.
"Fuck!" Gray was furious, he reached back with his hands and grabbed the iron chain on the iron buckle behind his neck, trying to tear it off with brute force.
"Who the hell did it!"
"Onikiranji! Full!"
Gray realized that he was already imprisoned, and he began to shout around.
Gray's first reaction to the murderer was almost that man who said harshly and threatened to find a pervert to deal with him, that bastard.
"You waited for me to go out! The first one will chop you up!"
Gray groped in all directions. The rough bricks on the wall rubbed his hands. Gray tried everything around him, but he couldn't find a frame like a door or window. No matter how far away he was, he was chained The neck and ankles are out of reach.
Seeing that he couldn't find a way out for a while, Gray beat the solid wall angrily: "Ferret! I know you're with that bastard, I know you're outside, good boy, let me out!"
At this time, there was a faint but orderly sound of footsteps coming from outside the wall, followed by the sound of tearing and dragging as heavy chains were undone.
Gray leaned against the wall and listened. He felt someone's footsteps approaching, so he immediately lay down on the cold ground, pretending to be unconscious.
Through his eyelids, Grai could feel his surroundings brighten instantly.
Someone was approaching him with light and slow steps.
A shadow from the backlight shrouded Grai's body, and a hand was protruding in Grai's direction.
Suddenly, Gray opened his eyes, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted the other's wrist forcefully, so that the man in the black robe couldn't fight back for a while.
Gray held the man's wrist tightly, while slowly sitting up from the ground, and said viciously: "Look for a pervert to deal with me? What do you want to see? Huh? Little □□□? Do you believe it or not? I go out to eat every day. Garlic sausage smokes you! I will press your head into the latrine, and let you see what a pervert is!"
The man didn't want to break free, and he let Grai squeeze fiercely without making a sound. Grai frowned, and he felt a little strange. It wasn't like the character of Pu Lai, who pretended to beg for mercy but didn't beg for mercy.
Gray became suspicious, and raised his hand to tear off the hood of the man in front of him.
However, the exposed face made him lose his mind for a moment.
The familiar, long-standing appearance in memory is the appearance of his lover when he was young.
"Ku..." Just when Gray couldn't believe it, a long thorn suddenly pierced his shoulder.
Grai clamped the opponent's hand and drooped weakly, and then covered the injured shoulder in disbelief, and actually penetrated... His body is invulnerable, and it is not a special weapon that will not hurt him at all. The thing that pierced his body to bleed was clearly prepared to target him alone...
Gray opened his dazed and shocked eyes and looked at his dearest person who was close at hand.
Gray's accidental injury caused the man in front of him to show an unexpected expression. The man turned his gaze, and behind him stood several men who looked like guards holding guns. One of the men's guns were still stable. Standing firmly on the elbows, the posture of firing arrows has not yet been withdrawn.
Kuris raised several cursed black crystals and flew towards the impulsive guard who fired the arrow.
Curris's gray eyes, which had no interest in dead bodies, turned back to the wounded wound on the young man's shoulder, and suddenly overflowed with tenderness and compassion: "Let me see, Grai."
Gray's intuition and vigilance actually relaxed under the extremely gentle gaze of the other party, and he approached the other party step by step recklessly.
"Oops." Culis lowered his eyebrows, his fingertips stroked Gray's wound and dipped in his blood: "It's flowing out again..." The disappointed tone contained regret.
When Gray couldn't understand why Kuris was disappointed and regretted, he was stabbed in the chest.
Gray watched the donated blood pouring out of his body being sucked by a bright red dagger stuck in his chest, his breathing suddenly became difficult, and Gray stared at the person holding the knife in disbelief.
At this point, however, Curris's arms became warm with his blood donation.
Gray wanted to question, but what awaited him was only the sharp pain of the merciless blade cutting down the flesh like a belly-opening.
Waking up again, Grai twitched all over.
He immediately touched his chest, which was intact and not cut open.
But he noticed at the same time that the chains around his ankles and neck were still trapping him, and the surrounding iron bed was still standing beside him, without any change, and he did not leave the dark room.
What was that just now, a nightmare?
Grai's consciousness gradually fell into chaos. Suddenly, there was a sound of orderly soldiers' footsteps outside the wall.
Gray's wild thoughts were pulled back instantly.
He looked at the outline of the door in the darkness in amazement, and sure enough, within a moment, the cell door was opened and the room was lit up.
The man in black walked towards him.
Grai clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the coolness in his palms, not daring to take his eyes off the man in black for a moment.
The man in black took off his hood and smiled strangely: "Why are you looking at me like this, my dear, you woke up earlier than usual."
"Kuris?" Gray seemed to be confirming, "I just had a nightmare..."
Upon hearing this, Curis quickly bent down and hugged the boy, stroking the boy's hair and comforting him, "It's okay, I'm here."
"Let me take a look." Kuris hugged the boy horizontally.
Only then did Gray realize that his body was still the size of a child.
It's not possible, what's going on?
They were just communicating in Archaic?
What time is this?
When Grai's thoughts were about to explode, the wrists of both hands suddenly felt cold.
Gray suddenly found that he had been placed on the iron bed covered with wild animal fur, and his hands were tied with silver locks by the side of the bed.
Curris lowered his head, stroked his eyes, his cheeks, the side of his neck, the gray eyes stared at him hypnotically, and said, "Close your eyes, Gray. It won't hurt if you close your eyes. "
The more he ordered, the more Grai opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean?"
Curris didn't explain.
However, when Gray saw the red dagger taken out of Kuris's arms and aimed at his chest, the pain swept through his body like a flood.
"Ah—" Gray woke up screaming.
The dark room, the cold iron bed, the chains around the neck and ankles.
The hairs all over Gray's body began to stand on end, and he uneasily tugged at the chains made of heavy iron on his feet.
"Shit!" Gray had nothing to do, he had to find a way to get out and get out of this weird room.
Outside the wall, the startling sound of footsteps resounded in unison.
Gray's heart tightened, his eyes wandered uncontrollably to the opposite wall, he knew there was a prison door there.
Gray counted silently in his heart, astonishing and as if it should be taken for granted, the cell door was pushed open.
The man in black arrived as scheduled.
The imprisoned youth instantly lost his strength as if defeated.
The man in black put down his hood, revealing Curris's worried face: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
With such a face, how can he escape.
Gray leaned against the wall, his lips pale.
"Come here and let me take a look." Curris said, walking towards the helpless teenager.
Gray looked at the open arms approaching him step by step, and he suddenly felt a piercing and deep pain in his chest.
Gray looked at his lover's embrace in horror, his heels couldn't stop retreating, he shook his head with a face full of resistance, and his voice trembled slightly because of this: "No, no, no, don't come here... "
On the outskirts of the old royal capital, in an ancient wild forest, the roots of trees protruding from the soil covered a large altar that had been abandoned for a long time. Yuexi stepped on two layers of bluestone steps and walked to the center of the altar. Standing still for a moment, the roots and branches on the altar, like a net, suddenly seemed to have received some kind of unified order, and they all spread out to make a clean space.
Afterwards, the dust spots around the stone bricks in the center of the altar sank, and the sunken stone bricks were reassembled and connected like building blocks, and a patio was opened on the ground. To the dark and endless underground.
Yuexi walked down the patio without any hesitation, followed by his brand new mechanical maid.
Strolling down the stairs, at the end of the deepest stairs in the patio is an empty field.
Surrounded by circular walls, the moonlight from the top of the patio faintly falls to the deep bottom of the patio, outlining the blurred outline of the bottom.
There is a huge polished iron sheet like a patch of clothing nailed to the wall, which is particularly abrupt and eye-catching on the mottled stone bricks showing signs of decay.
Next to the iron sheet, a narrow crack was cracked on the wall that has been weathered for many years. However, the gouges around the narrow gap are new, and an inconspicuous wooden niche was embedded in it.
Yuexi went straight to the wooden alcove, he reached into the secret pavilion, and lightly pulled down the steel gate hidden in it. After a while, a huge piece of iron sheet seemed to dissolve, and it was automatically divided into strands and strands. Formed into densely intertwined mesh strips, the steel mesh strips as thin as bamboo leaves trembled and shrunk toward the center, converging into gigantic iron flower-shaped gears.
The gears gnawed at each other, and there were bursts of crushing sounds.In the cracks where the iron sheets are twisted into blossoming gears, the colorful colors hidden behind are gradually revealed.
It was an ancient gate carved from a single piece of clear emerald stone.
The emerald stone door glowing like blue waves slowly opened to both sides.
At this time, there are neatly arranged gears overlapping and seaming on the ancient gate.
The meticulously designed gears have a cold and hard texture, and the stone layers of the Cuijinmen are also rippling with the water of the galaxy from ancient times.
Complex and exquisite mechanical craftsmanship is dotted on the ancient and natural gemstone door. The two outstanding artifacts that belonged to their respective eras after a thousand years, now set off each other and show a different and harmonious style.
"Your Excellency." The emaciated priest waited behind the emerald stone door with his torch half held up.
"Master Su Wen." Yue Xi called out.
"Please come with me, the first stage is about to begin." Su Wen bowed slightly, leading Yuexi to a deeper place.
After Yuexi entered the emerald stone door, the door slowly closed again, and then there was the sound of gears turning behind the door, presumably the iron sheet outside the door returned to its original state.
Su Wen inserted the torch in his hand into the iron bracket on the wall, and the flame jumped in all directions, illuminating all the torches hanging on the wall one after another.
A man wearing the robes of the Eastern Church came towards Yuexi from the depths of the shadows: "Your Excellency, welcome."
"How's the progress? Bishop Shimengtor." Yuexi stood upright on the spot and didn't mean to greet him, he got straight to the point.
There were deep wrinkles at the corners of Shimento's eyes, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled flatteringly: "With your blessing, everything goes well."
The light of the torches revealed the true nature of this deeply buried place.
In front of Yuexi was a semi-circular mat, which looked exactly like the altar above the patio, just like an underground altar.
In the center of the altar stands a tall six-armed statue.
The statue closed its eyes as if sitting in meditation, with six hands wrapped around a giant python spewing out a long letter. The giant python's eyes were opened angrily, as if it was observing the world on behalf of the gods. A deterrent that cannot be underestimated.
Around the statue, that is, along the rim of the altar, there are twelve spindle-shaped iron cages.
All the rickety bodies in the cage were motionless, as if they were all trapped in a kind of nightmare that made them miserable.
Yuexi has been here a few times before, so she is not surprised by everything here.
Yue Xi glanced around the altar in a hurry, numb and indifferent.He didn't want to look too much at those who were trapped, he couldn't, that would make him feel deeply guilty.It seemed to be reminding himself all the time how much he paid with his life to get rid of his pain.
However, he can't be soft-hearted at this last moment. Soft-heartedness means giving up, and giving up means that he will get nothing.
Not only would he not be able to realize his desire, but he would also be burdened with the conscience accusations of these people who were imprisoned by him after they woke up, which he couldn't bear.
He didn't want to suffer like this anymore.
Even at the selfish cost of other people's lives...
However, the mechanical maid who has been following Yuexi quietly seems to have her own consciousness. 'It' moved its metal head slightly, and approached the altar unconsciously. The scene I see is faithfully fed back to another person who is really controlling 'it' far away.
"When can the rune array be activated?" Yue Xi walked around the altar.
He didn't notice anything strange about his maid, because when he turned his head back, his 'maid' alertly retracted her frantic head early, and returned to her usual docile appearance.
"It still takes a little time to make final revisions, my lord." Su Wen replied.
"What else do you need to modify?" Yuexi's tone was slightly annoyed. He looked at the rune formation covering the entire altar. The huge veins were as fine as the embroidery on the skirt. There is room for repair.
Shimontor replied: "Please take it easy. We have been preparing for so long, just to make it perfect."
"Your contribution to our common prayer, we will remember it in our hearts, and God will also be grateful to you." The bishop persuaded: "Together with you, I am very much looking forward to the success of the wish of 'coming into the world', we all understand You are anxious. But the time is not yet ripe, if you activate the talisman array rashly, all our previous achievements will be wasted."
From the corner of her eye, Yuexi glanced at the old bishop who was full of honey and swords: "You have been perfunctory me with such words for three years."
"I will give you what you want. I fully support you. You still have no good news. I think it's time for me to consider another option."
Su Wen followed behind the two distinguished people, upon hearing this, his expression immediately changed, and he said abruptly, "My lord, it's really close."
"What's the difference?" Yue Xi raised his voice.
"The 'source' needed for the talisman array is not enough." Su Wen said.
"Not enough?! What are these in the cage? Wood? Twelve living human lives for you to play with, it's not enough!" Suddenly Yuexi realized that she had exposed her inner anxiety and guilt, and hurriedly stopped her harsh words .
"During the arrangement of the talisman array, we have consumed three 'sources', so to be precise, there are only nine available sources of energy for the talisman array."
Yue Xi turned her head and stared at the two sanctimonious priests: "So, you still want me to be your executioner, and arrest three more innocent people for you."
Shi Mengtuo said in a deep and cold voice: "They are not innocent, my lord. These people are my compatriots. We were educated together, flourished together, and fell together. We can see each other clearly. They have not withstood the test of the world. , in exile to this spiritually desolate western continent, they all abandoned their beliefs and our gods. They collude with pagans and defile and distort our truth teachings. This is one of the unforgivable crimes. They should be punished .”
"I believe that even if they wake up from this cage, they will recognize the reality. This is the natural punishment that should have come to them long ago. I just brought it forward."
"My lord, you don't have to feel sorry for this, you are completely obeying God's will." Bishop Shimento said.
Yue Xi seemed to compromise: "Give me the list of traitors you think."
Yuexi has already arrested twelve people for them, and there will be three more.He has long been unable to stay out of it, and now it is hypocritical to withdraw from this plan on the grounds of scruples on human life.
"Thank you for your generosity." Shi Mengtuo smiled and handed the prepared list to Yuexi.
Yuexi opened the paper slip: "Why is there only one name? Isn't there three missing?"
"Not long ago, we got two by accident." Shimontor led their allies around the altar and came to a cage.
At first glance, there was nothing in the iron cage, but when someone approached, an extremely fast black shadow popped out. Since there was an invisible barrier on the outer layer of the iron cage, the thing was allowed to slap its teeth and claws in the iron cage. Can't break through.
Yuexi stopped in front of the iron cage. He looked carefully, and found that the thing was a human bone. It was completely black and exuded a strong curse. Its collision force in the cage was like a flood erupting. The spindle and iron cage trembled slightly from side to side.
"This is?" Yue Xi asked strangely, he had never seen bones move so violently after death.
The bishop replied: "The devil bone. The remains of the legendary devil king."
He had heard about the Demon Bone Moon, but even though he was the son of the clan, he had never seen such a complete piece of Demon Bone.
The curse contained in the remains of the devil king is astonishing. Even if the devil king is dead, the curse released by his corpse alone can cause a dark disaster.
This is why later generations had to divide it into pieces and seal it separately.
After more than 200 years of changes in the world, the whereabouts of most of the magic bones that have been handed down to this day are unknown, and a very small number of them are still in charge of the seal in the hands of the clan. More finely divided.Therefore, the demon bones visible to the world are usually fragmented small bones.
And in the cage in front of him, there is such a complete piece of demon bone hand bone that people can recognize its shape at a glance. It cannot be the property of the clan. It should be a part of the long-lost demon king that was originally divided. , Yuexi said in surprise: "This thing has long since disappeared, how did you get it?"
Shi Mengtuo said piously: "We can only say that this is God's will. When it appeared in front of our eyes, I knew it must be God's inspiration. He sensed my strong calling and my sincerity. He He told me through this coincidence that he also wants to come to this world and save thousands of lambs here who are trapped in the quagmire of confusion."
Yuexi was not interested in these oracles. He reminded: "The curse of the magic bone is ten times more pure than other original curses. Ordinary protective containers can't last long in front of it. Your iron cage should be replaced with a special material that can deal with curses." .I will order people to build a black soft silver cage as soon as possible."
Schmondo said: "Don't trouble your lord. Black Softbank itself has a strong protective force and can easily interfere with the activation of the rune array. Besides, we already have countermeasures."
Shimento took out a black book from his arms: "Thanks to your help, I can get it. This original text is the first book of doctrine. It not only records our sacred truth teachings like other original texts, but also it It is also one of the Twelve Ancestral Sacred Weapons." As he spoke, the original scripture in Shi Mengtuo's hand was suspended, and the original scripture was suddenly spread out into fan pages, and the pages were flipped quickly, and a blank piece of paper naturally fell off from the original scripture after a few seconds.
With a wave of his hand, Shimengto threw the golden white paper towards the iron cage where the demon bone was, and the iron cage suddenly burst out with golden lightning, and the restless demon bone in the iron cage was instantly struck by the lightning, languishing. Fall to the bottom of the cage.
Seeing this, Shimento said with satisfaction: "It is much more effective than Black Softbank."
Yue Xi smiled approvingly. He looked at the demon bones in the cage that had become honest, and said, "This is a 'source', what about the other one?"
Shimento took a step forward, pointing to the spindle iron cage next to the magic bone cage: "That was obtained at the same time as the magic bone."
Yuexi walked over, and there was a young man curled up inside. Like other people who were caught in the iron cage as the "source", he still twisted his facial features sadly, as if he was going through a very painful thing.
Yuexi was startled, he had seen this boy before...
Shi Mengtuo didn't notice the incongruity in Yuexi's eyes, he explained: "This child is a little more difficult."
"No magic effect can work on him. We don't know the reason yet. I have given this matter to Su Wen for research. For the time being, Su Wen can only make him fall asleep with the coma juice extracted from the faint fish grass."
"But... Su Wen, it doesn't matter if we can't find out the reason." Shi Mengtuo turned around to comfort the loyal man who had been following him: "As long as he enters a dormant state, our talisman array can start to absorb his energy. You don't have to Too worried about that."
"..." Su Wen didn't look very happy. He had other worries: "Master Bishop, I don't intend to disobey your wishes, but may I ask you to give up Mr. Gray."
As soon as Yuexi heard the familiar name, she became even more sure that this was the person his angry younger brother begged for.
Shi Mengtor's face turned cold for a moment.
Su Wen's face became more and more cowardly: "Mr. Gray helped me once. I think he was also chosen by the gods."
Shi Mengtuo said: "The gods will not choose a person who serves evil. He is destined to be a dirty person if he works with the devil's bones. And you have to understand that letting his life be dedicated to God's coming into the world is to wash away the evil. The dirt on his body, changing his fate of falling into hell, is saving him from the abyss of evil, and this is your best reward for him.”
"But..." Su Wen carefully defended.
"Do what you should do!" Shi Mengtor said coldly.
"Yes." Su Wen bowed his head.
Seeing the bishop's stubbornness, Yuexi silently swallowed back the words she was about to speak about the important person, and said instead: "Bishop Shi Mengtuo, please list one more name on the list. In case the source of the talisman 'When it is consumed again, we have no time to replenish it."
Shimento thought about it: "Your proposal is very good, but the amount of mana required to activate the summoning array is huge. In the setting of the 'source', the mana of each 'source' must reach a very high standard. In order to maintain the normal operation of the talisman. Among the people I know, the only person who meets the criteria to become a "source", except for these exiled bishops who have been made a "source", is only my friend, Varov. He Although he did not betray our faith, he pawned the original text of the doctrine as a life-saving tool to the heathen, which is tantamount to selling his soul. Even if he is my friend, I must say that this is apostasy. He He is a person who is very suitable to be the source of the talisman array, but unfortunately he has been taken by you..."
Yue Xi was stunned: "What do you mean by that? I didn't kill Varov."
Shimonto was also surprised and said: "When the Holy Deer Palace found me, it notified me about his death. I thought it was your act. I also want to thank you for saving him."
Yuexi said: "No, it's not me. I just handed him your personal letter, explained to him the plan you are preparing, told him that you need the help of his original scriptures, and I promised him that if he helps You, then he will be protected by the Kiranji Clan. It didn’t take long before he secretly sent someone to deliver the original code to me, but within a few days after the original code was delivered to me, I learned of his death. But we only exchanged letters, and I haven’t even seen his face, so how could it be that I killed him.”
Shimento thought for a moment, and finally said indifferently: "Varov handed over the original scriptures to you, and he was redeemed at the last moment of his life. May he rest in peace. We don't have to investigate the cause of his death, and we will always remember it." His exploits."
Yuexi was eager to clarify his innocence during the confrontation, but he felt that the other party still didn't believe him.But this stigma is not so important to Yuexi.
Yuexi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have overlooked a detail, so she asked: "You said before that the amount of mana required by the source must meet a standard, but I think that standard probably needs to reach the level of a bishop of Dongfei like you. "
"It can be said like this." Shi Mengtor said.
"That one teenage child is probably not enough?" Yuexi asked roundabout.
Shimento said: "If you are referring to this boy, then don't worry about it. I have tested the amount of magic in his body, which is deeper than you can imagine. He is even stronger than the amount of curse contained in the magic bone. .”
"But it's strange that he doesn't seem to be able to use it by himself, but it's beneficial to us." Shimontor stared at the suffering teenager in the iron cage with a surprised and fascinated look, as if watching A rare plant.
Seeing that Shi Mengtuo refused to let go and give up on that boy, Yuexi had no choice but to think of another countermeasure.
In the Dolam Palace, the last dinner was spent in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.
Mixed in it, like an outsider, and like a person in the world, his expression always maintains a detached look, people can't grasp his thoughts, but they can never get rid of others' definition of him: weird, naughty, distinguished background...
He was tasting the beautiful fruit plate alone, when suddenly a small figure stuck to his leg: "Full!"
"Rui Ya." Man did not put down his fruit plate, he just glanced sideways at the little devil who had regained his annoying vitality: "Is your body okay?"
"Mr. Gray didn't come?" Rhea raised her head and said coquettishly while hugging the adult's thigh.
"He is a humble poor man who is not qualified to enter the palace." Man said sharply.
"Then when will I see him. Father and I have to thank him very much." Rhea asked.
"After the reception is over, I will arrange a meeting for you outside the palace." Man said: "Now everyone is curious about how you were cured, you didn't tell anyone other than your father about Grai, did you? "
"No, I promise!" Rhea let go of the fruit, and consciously took her own fork and inserted it into the fruit plate that Man just picked. The taste of Man is generally not bad.
"But I'm very surprised, you are like my father, why don't you let me spread the word? This is not a bad thing." Rhea muttered with an orange petal in her mouth.
"Young master, other people will surely die if they are infected with the curse, why do you survive alone? Is there any capable person to help you?"
"Yes." Rhea replied imitating Man's tone.
He flicked the child on the forehead unceremoniously, and snatched back his own fruit plate: "The corrosiveness of the curse cannot be resolved, how many people have died here, but now suddenly there is a person who can avoid the threat of the curse, he must Become the focal point among the clans. They will inquire about it in many ways, including your father. Do you think he just wants to thank your savior? He will also want to take this talent for himself.”
"My father won't, he just wants to thank him." Rhea argued.
He smiled noncommittally.
"Isn't Mr. Gray's situation very dangerous, becoming the focus of contention among these wolves, tigers and leopards?" Rhea secretly said.
"It's okay, I found a reliable person to protect him personally." Man said, "And wait until your father meets Grey... He is your father after all, and Grey is the benefactor of his beloved son. I will respect your opinion, and will not use strong means to use Grai, on the contrary, he may give a helping hand to protect Grai." Only then did Man agree to allow Rhea to disclose the information about Grai to his father Firstly, he knew that Ruiya couldn't hide it from his father at all, and secondly, it was better to have the blessing of one more force than him alone.
Rhea narrowed her suspicious eyes: "What about you, don't let anyone who knows that there is a cure for the curse exist, what is your purpose? Do you want to swallow it all?"
Man showed a sly smile: "You can't say that, first come, first served."
Man and Rhea chatted for a long time at the side, and Duke Isakel approached here after dealing with the socializing over there.
"Father." Rhea ran towards her father happily.
Duke Isakel hugged his beloved son with loving eyes, and he came to Man, because of some things that happened before, he slightly changed his opinion of this young man: "Man." He said slightly kindly Salutation.
"Duke Isakel." Man politely distanced himself.
"You can call me uncle, you and Yuexi's mother are my younger sisters." Duke Isakel said.
"Okay, Uncle Isakel." Man said.
"I heard that you have met many mysterious and promising people." The Duke said, "I sincerely hope to thank them in person. They won't know how much this act of kindness means to me."
"I will find a suitable time to arrange for you to meet, but mysterious and promising people have weird tempers, I hope you will forgive me." Man was very comfortable that he could take the initiative.
"Of course, it's understandable." The Duke paused, and then his expression showed a bit reserved, and he motioned for Man to talk to him alone.
They left Rhea in place, and the two talked in private, avoiding people's eyes and ears: "Some clans are very concerned when they hear that my child has recovered, but I don't want them to know the specific situation. I can't fully trust They, Rhea's illness is so strange, I even suspect that it is the hands and feet of some clans that are hostile to me. Your friend is doing a good deed to save lives, but you are imperceptibly implicated by me and offended my enemy , the attention and threats he will receive will increase day by day. I think I should take the responsibility to protect your friend. But first of all, his existence cannot be known by too many people, otherwise it will be difficult for me to control the situation with my own strength. "
"What do you mean?" Man pretended to be confused.
"I hope you will introduce that capable person to me alone, secretly only to me. I will explain to the public that my child is not infected with the curse, it was just a misjudgment before, we used some rare herbs and runes Then it was completely cured. I found a well-known herbalist in advance, he will confirm my statement for me, and we will all regard that herbalist as a benefactor who treats Rhea. This will draw everyone's attention Lead elsewhere, your friend will be able to get the corresponding security, and the full support from the Isakel clan. As talented as your friend, he deserves the best support. I hope you can convey to that friend for me. Thank you so much, and I will help him achieve even greater heights and let his talents and abilities save more people."
"It's absolutely fine." Man readily accepted, and everything went smoothly according to his expectations: "Then what time do you think is more secure to meet?"
"Of course, the sooner the better." The Duke said.
"Okay, let's go as soon as possible." Man said.
It was night, and he sneaked out of Dolam Palace with great interest, and came to that remote small hotel.
"I found a big boss~Grey, my little angel." He called his cash cow full of 'affectionate'.
With the explicit support of an Isakel clan, it would be much easier for him to handle some things.
"He never came back." The ferret poured cold water on it.
Man immediately changed his expression: "Did that kid die outside?!"
At this moment, the lock hole on the door turned by itself.
As soon as the door was opened, there was a tall mechanical maid standing outside, with a heavy air-conditioning on the metal face, its key-shaped fingers were refolded and combined under the watchful eyes of the other two in the room, and returned to mechanical fingers.
The maid didn't show any hostility, she moved away from the body blocking the door, out of the way
He squinted his eyes, and there seemed to be a dark curtain in front of his eyes. His vision was still unclear, and his nose clearly smelled an annoying herbal smell in the damp and cold air.
"What are you doing..." Grai's limbs slowly regained strength, and he swept his hands in a circle around him indiscriminately. He grabbed a long pillar that looked like an upright iron rod, and used it as a support to stand up.
Maybe he lay on the ground in one position for too long, and his legs showed a lot of numbness after standing upright.
Gray's legs were numb, so he hurriedly held on to what was at hand.
It was an iron bed, which creaked when grasped hard, and it was not cold to the touch, smooth and gentle to the touch, it should be covered with the fur of wild beasts.
After the numbness in his legs had almost subsided, Grai flicked his legs and continued to explore in the dark.
However, he only took a few steps before he was pulled back by two forces from his neck and ankle at the same time, pulling him back to the original place.
Gray was startled, he touched his neck with his hand, and there was indeed an iron buckle there, he kicked his leg, and the sound of the iron chain came from his ankle.
"Fuck!" Gray was furious, he reached back with his hands and grabbed the iron chain on the iron buckle behind his neck, trying to tear it off with brute force.
"Who the hell did it!"
"Onikiranji! Full!"
Gray realized that he was already imprisoned, and he began to shout around.
Gray's first reaction to the murderer was almost that man who said harshly and threatened to find a pervert to deal with him, that bastard.
"You waited for me to go out! The first one will chop you up!"
Gray groped in all directions. The rough bricks on the wall rubbed his hands. Gray tried everything around him, but he couldn't find a frame like a door or window. No matter how far away he was, he was chained The neck and ankles are out of reach.
Seeing that he couldn't find a way out for a while, Gray beat the solid wall angrily: "Ferret! I know you're with that bastard, I know you're outside, good boy, let me out!"
At this time, there was a faint but orderly sound of footsteps coming from outside the wall, followed by the sound of tearing and dragging as heavy chains were undone.
Gray leaned against the wall and listened. He felt someone's footsteps approaching, so he immediately lay down on the cold ground, pretending to be unconscious.
Through his eyelids, Grai could feel his surroundings brighten instantly.
Someone was approaching him with light and slow steps.
A shadow from the backlight shrouded Grai's body, and a hand was protruding in Grai's direction.
Suddenly, Gray opened his eyes, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted the other's wrist forcefully, so that the man in the black robe couldn't fight back for a while.
Gray held the man's wrist tightly, while slowly sitting up from the ground, and said viciously: "Look for a pervert to deal with me? What do you want to see? Huh? Little □□□? Do you believe it or not? I go out to eat every day. Garlic sausage smokes you! I will press your head into the latrine, and let you see what a pervert is!"
The man didn't want to break free, and he let Grai squeeze fiercely without making a sound. Grai frowned, and he felt a little strange. It wasn't like the character of Pu Lai, who pretended to beg for mercy but didn't beg for mercy.
Gray became suspicious, and raised his hand to tear off the hood of the man in front of him.
However, the exposed face made him lose his mind for a moment.
The familiar, long-standing appearance in memory is the appearance of his lover when he was young.
"Ku..." Just when Gray couldn't believe it, a long thorn suddenly pierced his shoulder.
Grai clamped the opponent's hand and drooped weakly, and then covered the injured shoulder in disbelief, and actually penetrated... His body is invulnerable, and it is not a special weapon that will not hurt him at all. The thing that pierced his body to bleed was clearly prepared to target him alone...
Gray opened his dazed and shocked eyes and looked at his dearest person who was close at hand.
Gray's accidental injury caused the man in front of him to show an unexpected expression. The man turned his gaze, and behind him stood several men who looked like guards holding guns. One of the men's guns were still stable. Standing firmly on the elbows, the posture of firing arrows has not yet been withdrawn.
Kuris raised several cursed black crystals and flew towards the impulsive guard who fired the arrow.
Curris's gray eyes, which had no interest in dead bodies, turned back to the wounded wound on the young man's shoulder, and suddenly overflowed with tenderness and compassion: "Let me see, Grai."
Gray's intuition and vigilance actually relaxed under the extremely gentle gaze of the other party, and he approached the other party step by step recklessly.
"Oops." Culis lowered his eyebrows, his fingertips stroked Gray's wound and dipped in his blood: "It's flowing out again..." The disappointed tone contained regret.
When Gray couldn't understand why Kuris was disappointed and regretted, he was stabbed in the chest.
Gray watched the donated blood pouring out of his body being sucked by a bright red dagger stuck in his chest, his breathing suddenly became difficult, and Gray stared at the person holding the knife in disbelief.
At this point, however, Curris's arms became warm with his blood donation.
Gray wanted to question, but what awaited him was only the sharp pain of the merciless blade cutting down the flesh like a belly-opening.
Waking up again, Grai twitched all over.
He immediately touched his chest, which was intact and not cut open.
But he noticed at the same time that the chains around his ankles and neck were still trapping him, and the surrounding iron bed was still standing beside him, without any change, and he did not leave the dark room.
What was that just now, a nightmare?
Grai's consciousness gradually fell into chaos. Suddenly, there was a sound of orderly soldiers' footsteps outside the wall.
Gray's wild thoughts were pulled back instantly.
He looked at the outline of the door in the darkness in amazement, and sure enough, within a moment, the cell door was opened and the room was lit up.
The man in black walked towards him.
Grai clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the coolness in his palms, not daring to take his eyes off the man in black for a moment.
The man in black took off his hood and smiled strangely: "Why are you looking at me like this, my dear, you woke up earlier than usual."
"Kuris?" Gray seemed to be confirming, "I just had a nightmare..."
Upon hearing this, Curis quickly bent down and hugged the boy, stroking the boy's hair and comforting him, "It's okay, I'm here."
"Let me take a look." Kuris hugged the boy horizontally.
Only then did Gray realize that his body was still the size of a child.
It's not possible, what's going on?
They were just communicating in Archaic?
What time is this?
When Grai's thoughts were about to explode, the wrists of both hands suddenly felt cold.
Gray suddenly found that he had been placed on the iron bed covered with wild animal fur, and his hands were tied with silver locks by the side of the bed.
Curris lowered his head, stroked his eyes, his cheeks, the side of his neck, the gray eyes stared at him hypnotically, and said, "Close your eyes, Gray. It won't hurt if you close your eyes. "
The more he ordered, the more Grai opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean?"
Curris didn't explain.
However, when Gray saw the red dagger taken out of Kuris's arms and aimed at his chest, the pain swept through his body like a flood.
"Ah—" Gray woke up screaming.
The dark room, the cold iron bed, the chains around the neck and ankles.
The hairs all over Gray's body began to stand on end, and he uneasily tugged at the chains made of heavy iron on his feet.
"Shit!" Gray had nothing to do, he had to find a way to get out and get out of this weird room.
Outside the wall, the startling sound of footsteps resounded in unison.
Gray's heart tightened, his eyes wandered uncontrollably to the opposite wall, he knew there was a prison door there.
Gray counted silently in his heart, astonishing and as if it should be taken for granted, the cell door was pushed open.
The man in black arrived as scheduled.
The imprisoned youth instantly lost his strength as if defeated.
The man in black put down his hood, revealing Curris's worried face: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
With such a face, how can he escape.
Gray leaned against the wall, his lips pale.
"Come here and let me take a look." Curris said, walking towards the helpless teenager.
Gray looked at the open arms approaching him step by step, and he suddenly felt a piercing and deep pain in his chest.
Gray looked at his lover's embrace in horror, his heels couldn't stop retreating, he shook his head with a face full of resistance, and his voice trembled slightly because of this: "No, no, no, don't come here... "
On the outskirts of the old royal capital, in an ancient wild forest, the roots of trees protruding from the soil covered a large altar that had been abandoned for a long time. Yuexi stepped on two layers of bluestone steps and walked to the center of the altar. Standing still for a moment, the roots and branches on the altar, like a net, suddenly seemed to have received some kind of unified order, and they all spread out to make a clean space.
Afterwards, the dust spots around the stone bricks in the center of the altar sank, and the sunken stone bricks were reassembled and connected like building blocks, and a patio was opened on the ground. To the dark and endless underground.
Yuexi walked down the patio without any hesitation, followed by his brand new mechanical maid.
Strolling down the stairs, at the end of the deepest stairs in the patio is an empty field.
Surrounded by circular walls, the moonlight from the top of the patio faintly falls to the deep bottom of the patio, outlining the blurred outline of the bottom.
There is a huge polished iron sheet like a patch of clothing nailed to the wall, which is particularly abrupt and eye-catching on the mottled stone bricks showing signs of decay.
Next to the iron sheet, a narrow crack was cracked on the wall that has been weathered for many years. However, the gouges around the narrow gap are new, and an inconspicuous wooden niche was embedded in it.
Yuexi went straight to the wooden alcove, he reached into the secret pavilion, and lightly pulled down the steel gate hidden in it. After a while, a huge piece of iron sheet seemed to dissolve, and it was automatically divided into strands and strands. Formed into densely intertwined mesh strips, the steel mesh strips as thin as bamboo leaves trembled and shrunk toward the center, converging into gigantic iron flower-shaped gears.
The gears gnawed at each other, and there were bursts of crushing sounds.In the cracks where the iron sheets are twisted into blossoming gears, the colorful colors hidden behind are gradually revealed.
It was an ancient gate carved from a single piece of clear emerald stone.
The emerald stone door glowing like blue waves slowly opened to both sides.
At this time, there are neatly arranged gears overlapping and seaming on the ancient gate.
The meticulously designed gears have a cold and hard texture, and the stone layers of the Cuijinmen are also rippling with the water of the galaxy from ancient times.
Complex and exquisite mechanical craftsmanship is dotted on the ancient and natural gemstone door. The two outstanding artifacts that belonged to their respective eras after a thousand years, now set off each other and show a different and harmonious style.
"Your Excellency." The emaciated priest waited behind the emerald stone door with his torch half held up.
"Master Su Wen." Yue Xi called out.
"Please come with me, the first stage is about to begin." Su Wen bowed slightly, leading Yuexi to a deeper place.
After Yuexi entered the emerald stone door, the door slowly closed again, and then there was the sound of gears turning behind the door, presumably the iron sheet outside the door returned to its original state.
Su Wen inserted the torch in his hand into the iron bracket on the wall, and the flame jumped in all directions, illuminating all the torches hanging on the wall one after another.
A man wearing the robes of the Eastern Church came towards Yuexi from the depths of the shadows: "Your Excellency, welcome."
"How's the progress? Bishop Shimengtor." Yuexi stood upright on the spot and didn't mean to greet him, he got straight to the point.
There were deep wrinkles at the corners of Shimento's eyes, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled flatteringly: "With your blessing, everything goes well."
The light of the torches revealed the true nature of this deeply buried place.
In front of Yuexi was a semi-circular mat, which looked exactly like the altar above the patio, just like an underground altar.
In the center of the altar stands a tall six-armed statue.
The statue closed its eyes as if sitting in meditation, with six hands wrapped around a giant python spewing out a long letter. The giant python's eyes were opened angrily, as if it was observing the world on behalf of the gods. A deterrent that cannot be underestimated.
Around the statue, that is, along the rim of the altar, there are twelve spindle-shaped iron cages.
All the rickety bodies in the cage were motionless, as if they were all trapped in a kind of nightmare that made them miserable.
Yuexi has been here a few times before, so she is not surprised by everything here.
Yue Xi glanced around the altar in a hurry, numb and indifferent.He didn't want to look too much at those who were trapped, he couldn't, that would make him feel deeply guilty.It seemed to be reminding himself all the time how much he paid with his life to get rid of his pain.
However, he can't be soft-hearted at this last moment. Soft-heartedness means giving up, and giving up means that he will get nothing.
Not only would he not be able to realize his desire, but he would also be burdened with the conscience accusations of these people who were imprisoned by him after they woke up, which he couldn't bear.
He didn't want to suffer like this anymore.
Even at the selfish cost of other people's lives...
However, the mechanical maid who has been following Yuexi quietly seems to have her own consciousness. 'It' moved its metal head slightly, and approached the altar unconsciously. The scene I see is faithfully fed back to another person who is really controlling 'it' far away.
"When can the rune array be activated?" Yue Xi walked around the altar.
He didn't notice anything strange about his maid, because when he turned his head back, his 'maid' alertly retracted her frantic head early, and returned to her usual docile appearance.
"It still takes a little time to make final revisions, my lord." Su Wen replied.
"What else do you need to modify?" Yuexi's tone was slightly annoyed. He looked at the rune formation covering the entire altar. The huge veins were as fine as the embroidery on the skirt. There is room for repair.
Shimontor replied: "Please take it easy. We have been preparing for so long, just to make it perfect."
"Your contribution to our common prayer, we will remember it in our hearts, and God will also be grateful to you." The bishop persuaded: "Together with you, I am very much looking forward to the success of the wish of 'coming into the world', we all understand You are anxious. But the time is not yet ripe, if you activate the talisman array rashly, all our previous achievements will be wasted."
From the corner of her eye, Yuexi glanced at the old bishop who was full of honey and swords: "You have been perfunctory me with such words for three years."
"I will give you what you want. I fully support you. You still have no good news. I think it's time for me to consider another option."
Su Wen followed behind the two distinguished people, upon hearing this, his expression immediately changed, and he said abruptly, "My lord, it's really close."
"What's the difference?" Yue Xi raised his voice.
"The 'source' needed for the talisman array is not enough." Su Wen said.
"Not enough?! What are these in the cage? Wood? Twelve living human lives for you to play with, it's not enough!" Suddenly Yuexi realized that she had exposed her inner anxiety and guilt, and hurriedly stopped her harsh words .
"During the arrangement of the talisman array, we have consumed three 'sources', so to be precise, there are only nine available sources of energy for the talisman array."
Yue Xi turned her head and stared at the two sanctimonious priests: "So, you still want me to be your executioner, and arrest three more innocent people for you."
Shi Mengtuo said in a deep and cold voice: "They are not innocent, my lord. These people are my compatriots. We were educated together, flourished together, and fell together. We can see each other clearly. They have not withstood the test of the world. , in exile to this spiritually desolate western continent, they all abandoned their beliefs and our gods. They collude with pagans and defile and distort our truth teachings. This is one of the unforgivable crimes. They should be punished .”
"I believe that even if they wake up from this cage, they will recognize the reality. This is the natural punishment that should have come to them long ago. I just brought it forward."
"My lord, you don't have to feel sorry for this, you are completely obeying God's will." Bishop Shimento said.
Yue Xi seemed to compromise: "Give me the list of traitors you think."
Yuexi has already arrested twelve people for them, and there will be three more.He has long been unable to stay out of it, and now it is hypocritical to withdraw from this plan on the grounds of scruples on human life.
"Thank you for your generosity." Shi Mengtuo smiled and handed the prepared list to Yuexi.
Yuexi opened the paper slip: "Why is there only one name? Isn't there three missing?"
"Not long ago, we got two by accident." Shimontor led their allies around the altar and came to a cage.
At first glance, there was nothing in the iron cage, but when someone approached, an extremely fast black shadow popped out. Since there was an invisible barrier on the outer layer of the iron cage, the thing was allowed to slap its teeth and claws in the iron cage. Can't break through.
Yuexi stopped in front of the iron cage. He looked carefully, and found that the thing was a human bone. It was completely black and exuded a strong curse. Its collision force in the cage was like a flood erupting. The spindle and iron cage trembled slightly from side to side.
"This is?" Yue Xi asked strangely, he had never seen bones move so violently after death.
The bishop replied: "The devil bone. The remains of the legendary devil king."
He had heard about the Demon Bone Moon, but even though he was the son of the clan, he had never seen such a complete piece of Demon Bone.
The curse contained in the remains of the devil king is astonishing. Even if the devil king is dead, the curse released by his corpse alone can cause a dark disaster.
This is why later generations had to divide it into pieces and seal it separately.
After more than 200 years of changes in the world, the whereabouts of most of the magic bones that have been handed down to this day are unknown, and a very small number of them are still in charge of the seal in the hands of the clan. More finely divided.Therefore, the demon bones visible to the world are usually fragmented small bones.
And in the cage in front of him, there is such a complete piece of demon bone hand bone that people can recognize its shape at a glance. It cannot be the property of the clan. It should be a part of the long-lost demon king that was originally divided. , Yuexi said in surprise: "This thing has long since disappeared, how did you get it?"
Shi Mengtuo said piously: "We can only say that this is God's will. When it appeared in front of our eyes, I knew it must be God's inspiration. He sensed my strong calling and my sincerity. He He told me through this coincidence that he also wants to come to this world and save thousands of lambs here who are trapped in the quagmire of confusion."
Yuexi was not interested in these oracles. He reminded: "The curse of the magic bone is ten times more pure than other original curses. Ordinary protective containers can't last long in front of it. Your iron cage should be replaced with a special material that can deal with curses." .I will order people to build a black soft silver cage as soon as possible."
Schmondo said: "Don't trouble your lord. Black Softbank itself has a strong protective force and can easily interfere with the activation of the rune array. Besides, we already have countermeasures."
Shimento took out a black book from his arms: "Thanks to your help, I can get it. This original text is the first book of doctrine. It not only records our sacred truth teachings like other original texts, but also it It is also one of the Twelve Ancestral Sacred Weapons." As he spoke, the original scripture in Shi Mengtuo's hand was suspended, and the original scripture was suddenly spread out into fan pages, and the pages were flipped quickly, and a blank piece of paper naturally fell off from the original scripture after a few seconds.
With a wave of his hand, Shimengto threw the golden white paper towards the iron cage where the demon bone was, and the iron cage suddenly burst out with golden lightning, and the restless demon bone in the iron cage was instantly struck by the lightning, languishing. Fall to the bottom of the cage.
Seeing this, Shimento said with satisfaction: "It is much more effective than Black Softbank."
Yue Xi smiled approvingly. He looked at the demon bones in the cage that had become honest, and said, "This is a 'source', what about the other one?"
Shimento took a step forward, pointing to the spindle iron cage next to the magic bone cage: "That was obtained at the same time as the magic bone."
Yuexi walked over, and there was a young man curled up inside. Like other people who were caught in the iron cage as the "source", he still twisted his facial features sadly, as if he was going through a very painful thing.
Yuexi was startled, he had seen this boy before...
Shi Mengtuo didn't notice the incongruity in Yuexi's eyes, he explained: "This child is a little more difficult."
"No magic effect can work on him. We don't know the reason yet. I have given this matter to Su Wen for research. For the time being, Su Wen can only make him fall asleep with the coma juice extracted from the faint fish grass."
"But... Su Wen, it doesn't matter if we can't find out the reason." Shi Mengtuo turned around to comfort the loyal man who had been following him: "As long as he enters a dormant state, our talisman array can start to absorb his energy. You don't have to Too worried about that."
"..." Su Wen didn't look very happy. He had other worries: "Master Bishop, I don't intend to disobey your wishes, but may I ask you to give up Mr. Gray."
As soon as Yuexi heard the familiar name, she became even more sure that this was the person his angry younger brother begged for.
Shi Mengtor's face turned cold for a moment.
Su Wen's face became more and more cowardly: "Mr. Gray helped me once. I think he was also chosen by the gods."
Shi Mengtuo said: "The gods will not choose a person who serves evil. He is destined to be a dirty person if he works with the devil's bones. And you have to understand that letting his life be dedicated to God's coming into the world is to wash away the evil. The dirt on his body, changing his fate of falling into hell, is saving him from the abyss of evil, and this is your best reward for him.”
"But..." Su Wen carefully defended.
"Do what you should do!" Shi Mengtor said coldly.
"Yes." Su Wen bowed his head.
Seeing the bishop's stubbornness, Yuexi silently swallowed back the words she was about to speak about the important person, and said instead: "Bishop Shi Mengtuo, please list one more name on the list. In case the source of the talisman 'When it is consumed again, we have no time to replenish it."
Shimento thought about it: "Your proposal is very good, but the amount of mana required to activate the summoning array is huge. In the setting of the 'source', the mana of each 'source' must reach a very high standard. In order to maintain the normal operation of the talisman. Among the people I know, the only person who meets the criteria to become a "source", except for these exiled bishops who have been made a "source", is only my friend, Varov. He Although he did not betray our faith, he pawned the original text of the doctrine as a life-saving tool to the heathen, which is tantamount to selling his soul. Even if he is my friend, I must say that this is apostasy. He He is a person who is very suitable to be the source of the talisman array, but unfortunately he has been taken by you..."
Yue Xi was stunned: "What do you mean by that? I didn't kill Varov."
Shimonto was also surprised and said: "When the Holy Deer Palace found me, it notified me about his death. I thought it was your act. I also want to thank you for saving him."
Yuexi said: "No, it's not me. I just handed him your personal letter, explained to him the plan you are preparing, told him that you need the help of his original scriptures, and I promised him that if he helps You, then he will be protected by the Kiranji Clan. It didn’t take long before he secretly sent someone to deliver the original code to me, but within a few days after the original code was delivered to me, I learned of his death. But we only exchanged letters, and I haven’t even seen his face, so how could it be that I killed him.”
Shimento thought for a moment, and finally said indifferently: "Varov handed over the original scriptures to you, and he was redeemed at the last moment of his life. May he rest in peace. We don't have to investigate the cause of his death, and we will always remember it." His exploits."
Yuexi was eager to clarify his innocence during the confrontation, but he felt that the other party still didn't believe him.But this stigma is not so important to Yuexi.
Yuexi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have overlooked a detail, so she asked: "You said before that the amount of mana required by the source must meet a standard, but I think that standard probably needs to reach the level of a bishop of Dongfei like you. "
"It can be said like this." Shi Mengtor said.
"That one teenage child is probably not enough?" Yuexi asked roundabout.
Shimento said: "If you are referring to this boy, then don't worry about it. I have tested the amount of magic in his body, which is deeper than you can imagine. He is even stronger than the amount of curse contained in the magic bone. .”
"But it's strange that he doesn't seem to be able to use it by himself, but it's beneficial to us." Shimontor stared at the suffering teenager in the iron cage with a surprised and fascinated look, as if watching A rare plant.
Seeing that Shi Mengtuo refused to let go and give up on that boy, Yuexi had no choice but to think of another countermeasure.
In the Dolam Palace, the last dinner was spent in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.
Mixed in it, like an outsider, and like a person in the world, his expression always maintains a detached look, people can't grasp his thoughts, but they can never get rid of others' definition of him: weird, naughty, distinguished background...
He was tasting the beautiful fruit plate alone, when suddenly a small figure stuck to his leg: "Full!"
"Rui Ya." Man did not put down his fruit plate, he just glanced sideways at the little devil who had regained his annoying vitality: "Is your body okay?"
"Mr. Gray didn't come?" Rhea raised her head and said coquettishly while hugging the adult's thigh.
"He is a humble poor man who is not qualified to enter the palace." Man said sharply.
"Then when will I see him. Father and I have to thank him very much." Rhea asked.
"After the reception is over, I will arrange a meeting for you outside the palace." Man said: "Now everyone is curious about how you were cured, you didn't tell anyone other than your father about Grai, did you? "
"No, I promise!" Rhea let go of the fruit, and consciously took her own fork and inserted it into the fruit plate that Man just picked. The taste of Man is generally not bad.
"But I'm very surprised, you are like my father, why don't you let me spread the word? This is not a bad thing." Rhea muttered with an orange petal in her mouth.
"Young master, other people will surely die if they are infected with the curse, why do you survive alone? Is there any capable person to help you?"
"Yes." Rhea replied imitating Man's tone.
He flicked the child on the forehead unceremoniously, and snatched back his own fruit plate: "The corrosiveness of the curse cannot be resolved, how many people have died here, but now suddenly there is a person who can avoid the threat of the curse, he must Become the focal point among the clans. They will inquire about it in many ways, including your father. Do you think he just wants to thank your savior? He will also want to take this talent for himself.”
"My father won't, he just wants to thank him." Rhea argued.
He smiled noncommittally.
"Isn't Mr. Gray's situation very dangerous, becoming the focus of contention among these wolves, tigers and leopards?" Rhea secretly said.
"It's okay, I found a reliable person to protect him personally." Man said, "And wait until your father meets Grey... He is your father after all, and Grey is the benefactor of his beloved son. I will respect your opinion, and will not use strong means to use Grai, on the contrary, he may give a helping hand to protect Grai." Only then did Man agree to allow Rhea to disclose the information about Grai to his father Firstly, he knew that Ruiya couldn't hide it from his father at all, and secondly, it was better to have the blessing of one more force than him alone.
Rhea narrowed her suspicious eyes: "What about you, don't let anyone who knows that there is a cure for the curse exist, what is your purpose? Do you want to swallow it all?"
Man showed a sly smile: "You can't say that, first come, first served."
Man and Rhea chatted for a long time at the side, and Duke Isakel approached here after dealing with the socializing over there.
"Father." Rhea ran towards her father happily.
Duke Isakel hugged his beloved son with loving eyes, and he came to Man, because of some things that happened before, he slightly changed his opinion of this young man: "Man." He said slightly kindly Salutation.
"Duke Isakel." Man politely distanced himself.
"You can call me uncle, you and Yuexi's mother are my younger sisters." Duke Isakel said.
"Okay, Uncle Isakel." Man said.
"I heard that you have met many mysterious and promising people." The Duke said, "I sincerely hope to thank them in person. They won't know how much this act of kindness means to me."
"I will find a suitable time to arrange for you to meet, but mysterious and promising people have weird tempers, I hope you will forgive me." Man was very comfortable that he could take the initiative.
"Of course, it's understandable." The Duke paused, and then his expression showed a bit reserved, and he motioned for Man to talk to him alone.
They left Rhea in place, and the two talked in private, avoiding people's eyes and ears: "Some clans are very concerned when they hear that my child has recovered, but I don't want them to know the specific situation. I can't fully trust They, Rhea's illness is so strange, I even suspect that it is the hands and feet of some clans that are hostile to me. Your friend is doing a good deed to save lives, but you are imperceptibly implicated by me and offended my enemy , the attention and threats he will receive will increase day by day. I think I should take the responsibility to protect your friend. But first of all, his existence cannot be known by too many people, otherwise it will be difficult for me to control the situation with my own strength. "
"What do you mean?" Man pretended to be confused.
"I hope you will introduce that capable person to me alone, secretly only to me. I will explain to the public that my child is not infected with the curse, it was just a misjudgment before, we used some rare herbs and runes Then it was completely cured. I found a well-known herbalist in advance, he will confirm my statement for me, and we will all regard that herbalist as a benefactor who treats Rhea. This will draw everyone's attention Lead elsewhere, your friend will be able to get the corresponding security, and the full support from the Isakel clan. As talented as your friend, he deserves the best support. I hope you can convey to that friend for me. Thank you so much, and I will help him achieve even greater heights and let his talents and abilities save more people."
"It's absolutely fine." Man readily accepted, and everything went smoothly according to his expectations: "Then what time do you think is more secure to meet?"
"Of course, the sooner the better." The Duke said.
"Okay, let's go as soon as possible." Man said.
It was night, and he sneaked out of Dolam Palace with great interest, and came to that remote small hotel.
"I found a big boss~Grey, my little angel." He called his cash cow full of 'affectionate'.
With the explicit support of an Isakel clan, it would be much easier for him to handle some things.
"He never came back." The ferret poured cold water on it.
Man immediately changed his expression: "Did that kid die outside?!"
At this moment, the lock hole on the door turned by itself.
