……

"It's just that I don't know what to do to save them. After all, in order to save you, Yuwen Feng ignited his vitality and turned into a paladin, which would lead to the final disappearance. ”

"The only thing I can tell you is the word 'alive'. As long as you can survive in this world, you will definitely find a way to save them. But only if you have enough strength to survive in this world. Your actions must have alarmed some people in the shadows, and you will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of some strong people in the future. In the coming days, I will train you in the shortest possible time so that you can be on your own as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, Gao Qingtian stood up, and two crisp cries came from the blue bird in the air, "Let's leave quickly, sure enough, there are chasing soldiers coming." ”

After a day and a night of travel, the two broke away from the sphere of influence of the Free Capital.

At this moment, they were in a valley in the southwest.

In the north, due to the north-south trade, a large number of roads were paved for caravans to pass, which was not convenient for concealment.

There was actually another reason for fleeing to the southwest, this place was an area where Gao Qingtian used to be active, and there were strongholds in the depths of the forest that he had used before.

Although it is a little simpler, most of them are wooden huts made of wood, but they are still usable.

For the sake of insurance, Gao Qingtian released a large number of reconnaissance bluebirds ten kilometers outside the stronghold.

As long as there is any wind and grass in the surrounding environment, he can receive the news as soon as possible.

When he returned to the wooden house, he saw Yuwen Xuan, who was already sitting on the side with his eyes closed, and the sound of opening the door woke him up, "You're back, Gao Qingtian." ”

"Don't say this name in the future, over the years, I have used this name to offend many people in the rivers and lakes. Since there is no need to hide your identity now, you can just call me Aqing. ”

Ah Qing walked to the opposite side and sat down next to the wooden wall to meditate.

This wooden house is not too big and has an unobstructed view.

There is no decoration in the house, except for the wooden walls, wooden ceilings, and wooden floors.

Not even a basic table, chair and bed.

There are no windows in the house, the room is very dark, and occasionally the sunlight shines through the gaps in the wood, and gradually, the atmosphere is a little more eerie.

"I don't want to go around in circles, you've been through a lot of these days. Let's talk about it, how much do you understand about puppeteers?"

Yuwen Xuanyu was just about to re-enter the state of false sleep, when he heard Ah Qing's voice coming from the opposite side, he couldn't help but open his eyes and stared at the corner of the sound source in the darkness with a burning gaze, "It's not a secret, I only know how to check the opponent's ability value at present, and in addition, my understanding of the puppeteer master is zero." ”

"You're pretty straightforward. For his honesty, Ah Qing was a little surprised. Since that's the case, then I don't have to talk to him about history, let's go straight to Huanglong, "Do you know why, these capable people are called "puppeteers"?"

Faced with this problem, Yuwen Xuanyu chose to be silent, he really didn't know much about the puppeteer, and he was not qualified to say something at length, so it was better to listen quietly.

Seeing that there was no meaning to answer on the other side, Ah Qing's voice continued, "The puppeteer, as the name suggests, is the master who controls the puppet. The reason why the powerful people of this world are called puppeteers, and not other class names, is because you humans are puppeteers themselves. ”

This statement made Yuwen Xuanyu feel a little novel and surprised, but I have to say that it is quite interesting, to regard a conscious life as a wooden body without ideology.

"You must think this is ridiculous, but many years ago, the humans in this world were all mortals, and we elves were hidden from the world.

Until one day, a group of human beings came to the conclusion that in fact, everyone's body is a puppet. The composition of the human body is all natural energy, which is gathered in the meridians of the human body, and the reason why people can move is controlled and controlled by these natural energy.

They call this natural energy spiritual power, which represents the power given by the gods.

But people sneered at these scholars, thinking they were all crazy.

Since then, the turmoil has subsided for a long time. It wasn't until thousands of years later that someone created a puppet armor......"

"Puppet Battle Armor?!" The term Yuwen Xuanyu had heard before, but he was not impressed.

"Yes, puppet armor. In fact, strictly speaking, maybe the puppeteer profession should come from our elves. In the past, we, the Guardians, were not self-aware, but only obeyed orders and were at the mercy of our masters. Because it was the puppet armor they granted that gave life to us Guardians.

It's just that now human beings have fused puppet armor, which is equivalent to turning their own body into a tool for their own consciousness to control.

The so-called puppet armor is a kind of equipment made of special substances, which has super assimilation and control over the power of natural elements, and can also naturally integrate into the human body and become a part of the meridians.

The appearance of this thing has brought back the conclusion that "people are puppets" that have been sealed for many years! All human beings who have fused with the puppet armor can subconsciously control the "spiritual power" flowing in their bodies through the assistance of the puppet armor.

To put it simply, human beings have found a way to control the latent energy in their bodies. This new force has been brilliantly displayed in the military. Since then, a range of weapons have been developed.

Due to the need to collect a large number of natural elements for human research, it was not long before the elves, who also possessed the power of natural elements in their bodies, also entered the field of vision of human beings. ”

A sharp gaze came from the darkness, although it was invisible, Yuwen Xuanyu could clearly feel the palpitation, and then, Ah Qing's voice came into his ears, "Let's go back to the topic, that means that you are not a puppet master at all." That's why you couldn't use magic when you first came into this world. After all, you don't have a puppet armor in your body, so you can't control the spiritual power in your body as you want. ”

What interested Yuwen Xuanyu was not whether he had become a puppeteer, but the content of the story, "Even so, it doesn't make sense, why do you say that the puppeteer is from your elf clan?"

"The story doesn't end there. At that time, as elves, we were actually terrified of these conclusions that the human reached at the beginning. Because we know very well these conclusions, they are all correct! A large part of the composition of the human body is made up of natural energy. If it weren't for the fact that humans have seven emotions and six desires, they would be the best candidates to become elven guardians!"

The words added by Ah Qing made Yu Wenxuan, who was just about to say something, swallow the words back into his stomach, and there was only a silence left in the air.

"The person who invented the puppet armor must have dissected a guardian with his own hands. We, the guardians of the elves, are born with a natural condensation of armor in our bodies, which was personally granted by our masters when they created us. It is used to control the elemental power given by the masters, and use this power to protect the safety of their masters. ”

"In this case, our Guardian is really a puppet as humans say. A puppet under the control of an elf. After Ah Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, he continued.

"The discovery of the puppet armor in the guardian's body will definitely attract more human beings to peep at the elves...... It seems that the war between humans and elves was provoked like this, right?" all the scattered fragments in his heart began to gradually piece together, and Yu Wenxuan muttered reflexively.

Ah Qing nodded in the dark, "It's just that the number of elves is not very large after all, and when the supply exceeds demand, in order to develop a large number of puppeteers as war weapons, human beings have begun to collect natural energy and devote themselves to independent research and development of artificial puppet battle armor." ”

Yu Wen Xuanyu listened and muttered to himself, his thoughts drifted into the distance with his memory, "According to the conclusion that the human body is rich in natural energy, but it is not noticed by me" put forward by the predecessors. Many aristocratic forces began to invest a lot of resources in conducting human experiments, and this was the case with the incident in Alien Stone Town at that time...... I'm right, right?"

"That's right. If you want to survive in this world, you have to become a puppeteer, and only then can you control the spiritual power in your body.

My time is running out, and I plan to give you the puppet armor in my body and make you a puppeteer. The man-made puppet armor is too ordinary, and it is sold in most cities, but it is not very capable of controlling the elements. …… And your body is too special to accommodate different natural elements, then you must integrate high-end armor.

High-end armor is only natural, and can only be obtained from the body by hunting elven beasts and elven guardians. This is also the main reason why humans hunt elves in large numbers. ”

Ah Qing's words were too sudden, just now he was still talking about the history of the elves and human beings, but in just a moment, the conversation changed, and he moved life and death to the table.

Yuwen Xuanyu could naturally perceive that since the puppet battle armor could be completely integrated into the meridians in his body, once he lost this puppet battle armor, Ah Qing would definitely die.

The people around him have already left him, and now it is rare to have one more friend, how can he let him go for himself again.

Just as he was struggling, suddenly the flute on his waist vibrated strongly......

Ah Qing noticed the abnormality, slapped the ground, bounced up, just a flicker, and came to the former's side.

"This is, away from the fire?...... Why is there a commotion all of a sudden?" Recalling the scene of the meeting with Yuan Huo that day, Yuwen Xuanyu muttered softly.

A throbbing sensation arose in my heart, as if I was reminding myself of something......

！！！

Bite.

Suddenly, something flashed through my mind.

When Hihara Huoli decided to follow him, he seemed to summon an armor-like thing and integrated it into his body, could it be ......

Thinking of this, Yuwen Xuanyu immediately told Ah Qing about the situation of the day.

Listening to his narration, Ah Qing was dumbfounded, "What?!You actually saw Lord Yuan Huoli?...... That's right, that armor is the puppet battle armor!It is rumored that the original fire is the "Fire Separation Purgatory Armor" that Lord Primordial Fire has been brewing for many years in order to create the perfect guardian!"

Looking at Yu Wenxuan's puzzled eyes, Ah Qing patted the former's shoulder angrily, and explained with a slight envy in his tone: "Lord Yuan Huoli has always been a legendary figure in the elf world, and no elf has ever met her. Even whether this senior really exists is a mystery. It is said that her guardians are a puppet army of lava monsters, and no real guardian has been found, so it is speculated that her Fire Separation Purgatory Armor has never been granted, and has been kept in magma. After years of forging, that thing has long become a legendary treasure in the elven world! I can't imagine that she would give it to you so easily!"

"But...... Will this armor determine my future elemental abilities? I can only use the fire element?"

If his attributes are fixed in the fire element in the future, then all this can only come to naught, and the only thing that belongs to Xiao Feng will also be lost.

"You can rest assured of this, have you forgotten what I just said that the puppet armor has a super assimilation ability? Once the armor is integrated into your body, it will be assimilated by the spiritual power attribute in your body. It's just that the fit of the Fire Purgatory Armor is more perfect for the fire element. ”

Looking at Yuwen Xuan, who breathed a sigh of relief, Ah Qing grabbed his hand and put the back of his hand on his wrist, "Actually, in addition to the puppet armor, there is one more thing I must do on this trip." Lord Reikaze's power is weakening, and I have told me that if something happens to him, I will re-engrave this spell into your hand. Due to the life contract, most of his power is in Yuwen Feng's body, and once he really dies, the wind elemental power in your body is very likely to disappear together. So to avoid that happening, my lord wants me to grant you this seal. ”

Regardless of whether Yuwen Xuanyu agreed or not, a blue-green light emerged from between the skin where the two were fitting, and a strange magic circle appeared on the ground.

The circle slowly turned, and a cyan light illuminated the entire house.

A cyan aura silently lit up from Yuwen Xuan's wrist, fluctuating from time to time.

Two hours passed, and the light faintly showed a tendency to fade.

The aperture on Yu Wenxuan's wrist became more and more brilliant, as if it had been given life, beating happily.

The strange thing is that as if the second pulse of Ren Du has been opened, the aperture that previously only lit up from the left hand has begun to shine back and forth between the hands.

Another half an hour passed, and the strange formation on the ground finally faded completely.

Many of the blue hair ponytails on Ah Qing's forehead that were tied up turned black, and his expression was much haggard.

The whole wooden house was dark again in an instant.

There was no longer sunlight shining in the room, and it was already dusk.

The power of the elves recondensed into his body, and Yuwen Xuanyu needed to meditate, concentrate on assimilation, and absorb this power.

In this moment, it was a few more hours.

It was late at night, and after eating some of the fruits collected during the day, Ah Qing Caocao went to rest.

This night, Yuwen Xuanyu did not rest, he held his breath and concentrated, carefully examining every corner of the meridians in his body.

Sure enough, consciousness had just entered the inside of his body, and a wave of warmth leaked out of his blood.

His meridians were red, like a purgatory, but in it, except for the slightest warmth, there was no longer too hot feeling.

The wisps of energy fluctuations between heaven and earth were constantly absorbed, and then transformed into a strange energy.

This energy travels through the body along the bloodstream.

It seems that this purgatory-like meridian in front of him is the masterpiece of the Fire Purgatory Armor.

What's even more strange is that when Yuwen Xuanyu deliberately controls the aperture on his wrist to appear, this energy that travels around his whole body will also change color.

"I'm afraid these are the spiritual powers they are talking about, I didn't expect the puppet armor to have such a magical effect, which can transform these spiritual powers into the natural power of the corresponding elements. Everyone is an individual in nature and has different elemental powers. It's no wonder that I've heard before that if you forcibly use a weapon other than your own element, it will cause the elemental disorder in your body and explode to death, which seems to be not untargeted. ”

Continuing to scan his whole body, Yuwen Xuanyu found that the location of his abdomen, the meridians were extremely complex, as if there was an external force, and many meridians were entwined together.

It looks like something is going to be tied up.

In the center is a small black vortex from which strange energy emanates.

But it didn't affect the normal operation of the physical skills, and after a while, this energy diffused and dissipated, as if it was filtered into a little pure energy by something, and merged into the meridians.

Without looking too much, Yuwen Xuanyu could determine that this thing was the curse power that had been sealed in his body.

It's innate, and even quite bizarre and weird to explain.

When he was a child, Duke Yuwen, that is, his father, once said that this curse seemed to be a curse given to him by someone in a very distant ancient period.

"Speaking of which, my father's kind of speech is too suspenseful...... It's just that if it weren't for him, maybe I wouldn't be alive now. ”

When he was in Alien Stone Town, in the face of the surging attack of wolves, for the first time in his life, he relied on his consciousness to forcibly unlock a small gap in this curse seal, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

My father once said that every time the seal is lifted, its power will change history and fate......

Yu Wenxuan smiled self-deprecatingly, "This changes history and fate, I'm afraid it will change my own." Indeed, because of it, I narrowly escaped death. I thought it was such a great power, but it turned out to be just a self-preservation skill. ”

It's just that this seal can't be touched again in the future......

If my father is right, then when this last seal is lifted, it will be the end of my life.

Although I don't know why.

……
