It's been a busy week, and I'm going to be on a business trip tomorrow, so I'm going to be updated slowly, so you're pushing me a lot.

"It's like. The lady sitting on the back of the giantess silently listened to this series of words that were almost to herself, and only then did she give a two-word evaluation.

The old man frowned a little confusedly and said, "Catherine, my dear female disciple, what is wrong with you? Are you here to ask for leave again? I have long said that you are a scholar and a magician. Your career is in the library, in the laboratory. Don't run around all day and be busy with your so-called tasks, you're wasting your time. Where do you want to go this time? I have no objection to you going out for a walk and gaining some experience. But I'm against it, you always put yourself in needless danger. For example, last time, it was not good to go anywhere, but to go to that magma cave. The underworld is dangerous, even if it's just an entrance. You must know that even the old man Swo would not dare to go to such a place rashly alone. You'd be better enough to sneak in without telling me. If it weren't for the presence of my old acquaintances in the garrison of the magma cave, he would have informed me in time. I'm the old man and I, so I'm going to be able to get you out in a hurry. Trust me, you don't get so lucky every time. Catherine, my female disciple, how much heart break is enough for you to have me as a teacher?"

"Deception and lies are only effective when the other party does not know the truth. The lady sitting on the high place said indifferently, "This made up statement is also very similar. ”

The old man narrowed his eyes and stared thoughtfully at the indifferent lady who was looking down at him.

"Hahaha. The old gentleman burst out laughing. He shook his head and smiled as he pointed at the lady above, the manuscript in his hand crumpled into a ball.

"I was almost fooled by you, hahaha, almost cheated by you, hahaha. The old man laughed so hard that he couldn't speak neatly, as if he had never encountered such an interesting thing, "Who are you? Who are you? Hahaha, what should I call you?"

"I'm Catherine. The lady said.

"Catherine? Catherine is that stupid female mage. If you were her, we wouldn't be here. The old man finally suppressed his laughter, "I really didn't expect it, no, I should have thought of it a long time ago." The spirit world is really full of magic. I haven't encountered anything like this before, but I can imagine it. It seems that this situation has absolutely something to do with me. ”

"What do you want to explain? His Majesty the Demon King. "Do you have any doubts about me being Catherine?"

"Look, look, it's the attitude, the tone, the mood. I have no doubts. The old man threw the candlestick and the manuscript in his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately a large sturdy chair appeared behind him, and the old gentleman sat on it in a big way.

"Now things are easy to solve. I'm not ready to take this soul castle yet, so please let me get out of here. Of course, I'll let you leave my soul world, what do you think?" the old man leaned back as he spoke, and the back of the large chair immediately turned downwards and turned into a chaise longe. The old gentleman was very comfortable half-lying on it, and without looking up, he could talk to the lady on the giantess's back.

"Why should I trust you?" said the lady, tugging at the gold chain in her hand. The giantess, who had been sleepy for a long time, could finally lie on the ground again and beat her to sleep.

The two sides tacitly eased the tense atmosphere, and the scene seemed to have entered the negotiation stage.

"Because as a sanity, you should be able to tell that fighting me means a huge risk. And you don't know what you're going to be in, especially from the outside world. The old man clasped his hands together and rested on his stomach, "Actually, you shouldn't have been here. If it weren't for that bastard Creek Quall who brought us to the kingdom of God, if it weren't for those stupid emotions and poor lowly As, if it weren't for that damn fallen god who bound me with divine words, if it weren't for the instinct of that low-level bull's-eyed demon who came to fight for the body of a female mage, if it weren't for the soul will of a female mage, he wouldn't have been able to suppress his instinct at all. 'If', but there are no ifs in this world. ”

"Alas!" the old man sighed longly, and a desolate and depressing aura permeated, as if someone had accidentally broken the hourglass of time and sprinkled a piece of sand of history.

The breath was like substance, washing over the bodies of the two behemoths, and they stirred uneasily at the same time. The Eyeball King rolled from side to side on the ground, and the Giantess opened her sleepy eyes and shook her head.

The lady on the throne struggled to hold on to the two gold chains that had broken straight, and opened her mouth to exhale heavily. The icy cold wind blew in the palace, blowing the old man's nightcap into the sky with a "whoosh".

The old gentleman's hand suddenly stretched out three or four meters, and he grabbed the old hat that jumped into the air. He retracted his arm and dusted his hat feebly, putting it back on his head.

"You are really rude, my dear female disciple. Actually, you're not suppressing the two instincts, are you? Or rather, you're barely trying to silence them together. The old man said in a playful tone, "Of course, I am not denying your ability to fight. Especially in this castle of souls, if, well, I'm going to say what if. If we had a big fight, I think even if I managed to get out of here, it would be a big cost. And I don't want to see two dangerous instincts get out of control at the same time. You see, that's not in my interest at all. ”

"What's in your interest?" asked the lady who had re-subdued the two-headed monster.

"My interests, well, I can't tell for a while. The old man closed his eyes and thought for a moment before he continued, "To put it simply, it means not to be harmed, not to fall into danger, not to do unnecessary things. In fact, we are in the same situation now, you do not understand the outside world, and I am the only person who can help you. So, I also want you to hand over that bull's-eye demon to me. It is far more useful in my hands than in yours. ”

"Do you think I'll take your word for it?"

The old gentleman laughed, "Yes." But if it was the soul will of that stupid female mage here, most likely not. Not mostly, yes definitely not. Because she would be upset at first, and then she would ask questions, and whatever I said, she would question, and in the end she wouldn't believe it. ”

"But you're different, you're her sanity. The old man stretched out his hand to the lady and said, "How does reason work? You don't do unnecessary things, and you don't pick dangerous endings. When you can't make the right judgment, the answer with the highest confidence is chosen. As in the moment, you will not want to fight me, because it will lead to destruction. That's why I propose a truce, and if you let me go, and I will let you go, you will definitely agree. Unless my guesses are all wrong, but can I be wrong? No, as you yourself say, 'deception and lies are only effective when the other person does not know the truth'. You can't play the soul will of a female mage, my female disciple, you have no emotions. ”

"Emotion, you are such a wonderful poison. The old gentleman stretched out his hands and sighed, "Dear Lady of Reason, why do you think I became the teacher of the female mage?
