Chapter 55: The Purple-Haired Girl
The village is burning, and the flames are engulfing the houses made of wood and thatch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A girl with short purple hair walked slowly, her thin body in tattered clothes, revealing scarred dark gray skin.
She wrung her mouth and wept incessantly, but there was no one around her to comfort the girl.
All of them were dead, all of them were dead, and there was no one left alive in this village except this child, and they all died at the hands of this one girl.
There was no harm on the bodies of those corpses, and they still had happy expressions on their faces before they died, so they fell into the eternal sleep of death, and the purple color appeared on their skin strangely, and even crows and jackals did not dare to touch their corpses.
"Qi'er, well done," a man in a white skull mask suddenly appeared in front of the girl, complimenting her in cold words.
"This trial, you have passed. "The man and the girl were separated by a long distance, as if they were resisting contact with the girl.
"It's a pity, if it weren't for that tyrant, the organization wouldn't be short of funds, and you could have become the leader. β
"Don't resent the organization, if you want to resign, resent this distorted world, at least the organization has given you great abilities and given you the capital to live. β
"The auction is ready to begin, and you will be our finale this time. β
"You're going to have a new owner. β
After saying that, the man with the skull mask ignored the girl's reaction, disappeared directly into the air, and left here.
The girl paid no attention to the man, and she was half-kneeling and weeping sadly.
This is where she was born, and there are her parents and siblings, but this is over, and everyone has died at her hands.
----------------------------------------------------
"So, there's no way to do it now. Disappointed to put down the book in her hand, Alice took the black tea that was placed next to her and gently twisted it and sighed.
The method of making a connection between the four elemental planes was found by Alice in the book she got back, but, as Alice had guessed before, there was no way to use this method to transform the half-plane without special treasures or spellcasters to achieve legendary strength.
And now, there is a lot of work to be done, and there is no time to deal with this thing that cannot be done right now.
The so-called system that now lives on Alice's forehead still needs to be managed, as well as the replanning of the magic tower, the establishment of the library and the detention room also on the agenda, the remains of those orcs also have to be disposed of, the undead dungeon, the cave city and the half-plane need to be built, and the rhinoceros people also need new arrangements, and they can't just be left to do nothing.
Alice felt like her head was going to blow up, at this time, she was extremely nostalgic for the mirror technique she could use when she was in school, the magic that could do two things at the same time, but unfortunately because the mirror image was fused into the core of the half-plane, a special life box was created, so that this magic could not be used completely.
Prioritizing the system, Alice focused on the red sign on her forehead, and then as soon as the surrounding scenery turned, Alice came to a huge library, and the space with no end in sight was filled with countless bookshelves, large and small, but there was nothing on them, not a single book. Surrounded by a circle of burning candles,
"Welcome to the library, Miss Alice Norregi. β
The familiar voice echoed through the empty room, causing a flurry of echoes.
"What the hell are you?" asked Alice, looking around and finding nothing that made a sound, looking up at the ceiling.
"In words, you can think of me as an artifact, an artifact made by a god, and I am the consciousness of this artifact, or I can be called the steward of this artifact, responsible for assisting you in mastering the artifact. β
"What kind of artifact are you, who made it, and how did you find me?"
"I am a book, my maker is a god, and because of the choice of fate, you became my master. β
"Books?"
"To the gods, I am a book, to you I am a library. β
"That'...... And that fate?"
"Everything is full of uncertainty, and there are uncertainties that cannot be explored yet, and your answer can only be answered when you reach the legend. β
"Forget it, we'll talk about that later. So, how do you know that I will be in danger in three years, my life in danger?" Touching her chin and thinking for a while, Alice could guess something from its answer, such as the previous sentence can be understood as Alice's current strength or insight can not understand what this system says, and the latter sentence can also be translated as, what restrictions may be placed on this system, and there are some things that cannot be directly explained to Alice.
Alice then asked a second question. "How did you know that the reward for graduating was a half-plane? How did you know that I would move it to the World Tree, and how did you know that Odin would be missing and that the Frost Giants would definitely attack the Aesir at that time?"
"I don't know, and I can't predict it. β
"Then how did you release that mission? Is that a mission, it's more like a prophecy. Alice looked at the empty space suspiciously, and asked.
"The world is full of dangers, there are dangers happening all the time, there is never a safe place, and Miss Alice, for you now, no matter what kind of danger it is, it is a life-threatening danger that can kill you. β
"That so-called mission is not a prophecy, but an assessment of your strength, Miss Alice, three years ago, my assessment of Miss Alice's strength, is that no matter what kind of events you encounter, your strength can not cope perfectly, that is, even if you encounter the weakest slime in this world, it will cause danger to your life. As you can see before, the so-called mission is just a faΓ§ade, which proves that you have the qualifications to become my master, and you have successfully grown from being weak three years ago to being as strong as you are now, and you have the right to get my response. β
Alice twitched the corners of her mouth for this system, and she didn't know how to refute it, the words were so unpleasant, but they were all true. Now Alice thinks about it, if it was the lazy self who knew how to eat and sleep all day three years ago, in this dangerous world, there was a danger of life at any time, well, although now Alice is still the lazy Alice, who likes to sell cute and roll, and has no ladylike appearance, except for the lack of cleanliness, there is basically no change in personality.
And it can also be heard from its words that it would not have appeared if it had not seen clearly the so-called task, and had not lived past the three-year period.
"So what's the use of you, what can you bring me?" Alice questioned it, wanting to see what this long-lying thing could bring to herself.
"Do you see these bookshelves?"
Alice looked at the empty bookshelves, uncountable and endless, and nodded.
The system continued: "These shelves are full, and they are all full of books. These books are either bought, written, or ...... by my maker snatched. β
"It's full of books, why can't I see it?" said Alice, as she walked over to a bookshelf and put her hand inside, but she didn't feel anything touched, and she looked up at the ceiling in confusion, waiting for the explanation of the so-called system.
"Master, there is a limit, every other week you can get a book from the shelf. β
"How?" Alice was already a little impatient, curious to see what kind of books this thing could provide her.
"Just think about it. β
"Is that all?" Alice closed her eyes and began to imagine that when she opened them, a transparent book with a dreamy glow appeared in front of her.
"Yes, my master. β
Reach out and grab the book, and it feels soft and slightly cool in your hand
"Hey, you're kidding me, aren't you?
Alice looked at the text on the cover, and felt that her lungs were about to burst, this book looked so beautiful, but it was a knightly novel on the rotten streets of the outer plane.
"No, master, have you forgotten? I said ......."
"There has never been a reward for nothing, and there has never been an equivalent exchange. β
"The outcome of everything depends on your luck, master. β
β¦β¦ Luck......
Alice rubbed her frowning brows, feeling that she was going to be angry to death if she continued like this, she thought she had obtained a very powerful thing, who knew that she would have to rely on luck, if she could, Alice would definitely scold someone with such a setting half to death, how could anyone engage in such a cheating setting, isn't this a trick.
