Chapter 10: Parting

"Hiss......" Hua Zhang gasped, "Is it so terrifying?"

"Yes, it's that scary. Hades frowned and said, "But again, if you have this light and dark mirror, it's a different story. That means that your combat power has doubled, this is not a simple matter, you are the first in history that the dual attributes of light and darkness are fully compatible with the dual soul body, which means that you can have far more soul power and combat power than ordinary people, in addition, the soul power you have far beyond ordinary people will allow you to have a longer battery life than others when holding the mirror, and even when facing a person of the same level as you, you can simply rely on soul power to consume the other party. Hades looked at him and said.

"So, what does this chiaroscuro mirror look like?" Hua Zhang asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but after the death of my master's master, his whereabouts are unknown, it should have been stolen, or is it ......" Hades looked at Hua Zhang, a little puzzled, because Hua Zhang's body was illuminated with the light and dark mirror, if it was not arranged by the god of death, then it proved that the light and dark mirror was by Hua Zhang's side, forget it, or turn around and tell him.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Hua Zhang looked at Hades and shook his hand in front of his eyes.

"Oh, nothing. Shenzi came back to his senses and looked at Hua Zhang. "You come with me. ”

Hades led the way in front and walked into the corridor leading to the basement, only to see Hades use his soul power to inject some soul power into a painting, and the runes overflowed in the words. Suddenly, the wall next to it made a Kuolo sound, it turned out to be a secret door, the secret door opened, and the faint yellow fluorescent stones lined up on the ceiling, leading to the depths of the corridor.

"Let's go, don't lose it. After saying that, Hades walked inside.

"Oh. Hua Zhang looked at the extremely poor lighting here, eerie, and felt a little chill behind him.

The more he walked in, the more Hua Zhang found the magic of this place, which was full of walls on both sides, and there were portrait paintings hanging on the walls, these words had been preserved for thousands of years, but they were very intact, and I didn't know what kind of oil cloth and what pigment was made of. Hua Zhang even saw a few moving paintings, presenting a video, such a craft Hua Zhang had never seen.

"This is the memory of the Black Tower, each generation of tower owners will leave a portrait, stay here, but unfortunately I have no successor, no one to paint a portrait, I can't abdicate, so I justifiably have a painting of my own. Hades said as she walked.

"Oh. Hua Zhang was also a little sad, if it weren't for the mission of the Dark Tower, or if faith pressed him, who would be able to hold on here for thousands of years?

"These dynamic pictures you can see are the most famous events in the history of the Dark Tower, and every thing can be passed down for thousands of years, but it's a pity that in the hands of my apprentice, it was cut off. "Hades continued to walk forward," he delegitimized the Dark Tower and sealed it off. Since then, all the past of the Dark Tower has disappeared forever from people's memories, whether it is merit or hard work. Hades recounts the past.

"Hmm......" Hua Zhang didn't know what to say.

"But it's all gone, and it has nothing to do with you, so don't think about it. With that, Hades stopped in front of a painting. Pointed out to Huazhang. "Well, this is the painting. ”

Hua Zhang looked in the direction of Hades's finger and saw a huge painting hanging high on the wall, showing a scene of a man fighting a demon. I saw that the person in the picture was wearing a black battle robe, holding a half-human-long flame sword, pointing directly at the demon gate in the distance. The rune array in the distance was wide open, and the demon gate was above it, and the demons behind the door were boundless, but there was only that one person on the human side. The image continued to flow, only to see a coin-like thing thrown out of the man's hand behind him, and then the coin instantly became larger, and it was a mirror, and the boundless demon rampaged from the demon gate, rushing out, and the mirror behind the man in black also moved, at the beginning, there was a little mouse-like soul beast coming out, and then another cow-like soul beast rushed out, and since then it has been out of control, and even the undead, the dragon, what demon beast came out of the demon gate opposite, what soul beast came out of the mirror. And the image also began to start over at the moment when the two waves of soul beasts intersected.

"My master's master is one of the greatest soul masters in the history of our Dark Tower, and is known as a genius who has been hard to find for thousands of years. This painting was painted to record the battle of the ages, and it also shows the power to surprise or fear the world. Hades gradually became a little more energetic when he spoke. "At that time, the Space Tower of Hesitation had a fork and experimented with a fork, which led to spatial chaos and linked our continent with a different continent. More than a dozen spatial rifts have been formed around the world, and the other party has consolidated the rifts with more powerful force, and established the spatial gate on this basis. ”

"Then, what happened later?" Hua Zhang asked curiously.

"At that time, I had not yet come to this world, and I heard what my master said. Hazenko looked at a portrait of a person on the opposite side of the painting and said slowly. "At that time, the strength of the foreign land far exceeded the strength of our continent, resulting in almost all of us being defeated in the face of the enemy's Daifuku attack, and there was only one place, which was going well. ”

"Could it be that we are here?" Hua Zhang guessed.

"Yes, it's the dark tower, because each tower owner is a representative of a tower, and our eight towers seem to have a close relationship on the surface, but in fact there is a constant fight in the dark, so each tower master is the core strategy of each tower. At that time, our tower master was recognized by the hilt of the Hellfire sword and the mirror of light and dark, and the scenery was unique in that era. Because the two Horcruxes are both artifacts, he has two companion Horcruxes with the ability of a single soul slot. Hades turned and looked at the flaming sword. Therefore, his previous generation of tower masters set up a hall for him, called the Dark Soul Sea Hall. This hall is dedicated to convening people who can have a large amount of soul power, as well as soul masters who can recover the range, recover the single body, and link the soul power. At that time, for the development of this hall, he did not hesitate to recruit soul masters with non-dark attribute soul power. Therefore, at that time, we still jokingly called this hall the Hundred Souls Sea Hall. This hall is the logistics prepared for the later tower master, and the hall master is my master, Mingming. The old man looked at the other side.

Hua Zhang followed the eyes of the underworld and saw the last portrait of the person in this corridor.

"My master's talent is soul power sharing, and soul skills are also mainly used to improve the speed and quality of soul power sharing. Hades looked back at the painting called Ten Thousand Demon Seas. "It is precisely because of the existence of my master that he is able to connect with the soul masters of the Dark Soul Sea Hall. It also gave him a reserve of soul power that was difficult for others to match, and because of this, with the blessing of the light and dark mirror, he had the strength to block a demon gate by himself. Those little demons are also not angry, and after killing 10 percent, the army will be discouraged, and after killing 20 percent, they will already collapse and will be driven back to the demon gate, but there is still the second half of this painting, and there is no painting at that time in order to reduce the impact. ”

"What else is missing?" Hua Zhang looked at Hades.

"The last painting should be that he is holding the hilt of the hellfire sword, and with the blessing of a large amount of soul power, it is condensed into a huge fire sword, which actually shatters the gate of the other world with a single sword. Hades said.

"What?, a sword smashed the gate of the Exotic Land?" Hua Zhang was shocked.

"After all, the hilt of the Hellfire Sword is an artifact, if it can't have a bit of his own majesty, then is it still called an artifact?" Hades woke up from his memories and glanced at Hua Zhang. "It's far away, do you see clearly what the light and dark mirror looks like?"

"Oh, I see. Hua Zhang hurriedly made up for it.

"Let's go when you see it, I really don't want to stay in this place for a moment. Hades said.

The underworld, who returned to the hall, finally explained two things to Hua Zhang.

"Huazhang, come here. Hades pulled out a box.

"What is this?" Hua Zhang looked at the dusty box, his face full of puzzlement.

"This is the teacher's way and experience of cultivating talent, today I recognize you, and I can finally give you this box with confidence. Hadeko opened the box, and there was a piece of parchment inside, and the dense words on the paper made Hua Zhang dizzy.

"This is an extremely domineering talent, and the name is Black Blood Curse. Shenzi said that this piece of paper was handed to Hua Zhang, and Hua Zhang hurriedly reached out to take it, but when he took it, Yingzi was obviously a little hesitant. "This talent is more domineering, if you want to learn from others in the future, remember to be very careful. Hades finally handed the paper to Hua Zhang. "Cultivate in the manner described above, and you will learn the Black Blood Curse. This curse is the effect that helps you create a curse when you attack someone else. This effect is that every time you attack someone else, as long as you hit, the enemy will continue to increase the damage in the next five seconds because your skill has left a black blood curse, the effect is 2% of your attack damage per second, and during these five seconds, the injured target's healing and recovery effect will be reduced by 10%, and if you receive someone else's attack, the damage will increase by 5%. Hades introduced.

"This bonus feels average, isn't it, is it that terrifying?" Hua Zhang was puzzled.

"Listen to me, just looking at these talents are really average, and they are on par with your dangerous intuition. Hades looked at him, "However, this talent has a very strong advantage, which is his compulsion. In other words, no skill can remove this passive from you. So far, I have found that the core purification skill of the Light Tower, dispelling, can be lifted, but it is only this one soul skill. Moreover, this soul skill is not something that ordinary people can learn, only the core members of the Light Tower can learn. Hades said.

"In other words, there is no restraint?" Hua Zhang's eyes widened.

"There is almost no restraint, but this skill has a three-second passive, and this talent is a passive, which will be triggered whenever you attack, so there is no such thing as controllable or uncontrollable. Hades looked out the window and saw that the sun was almost setting.

"Finally, this one for you. Hades took out a white ice crystal pendant from the stone box, which seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

"What is this?" Hua Zhang looked at the pendant.

"This is the Tears of Light, which can quickly dispel the dark soul power around it. Hadesko tied the pendant around Hua Zhang's neck. "Everyone will show their soul power attributes when they open the vein, but below the fifth level, you can't control the collection and release of soul power very well, if someone who is many levels higher than you finds out that you have dark soul power, it will not be good. Giving you this is also to protect you from changing directions. Hades explained.

"I see. "Huazhang should arrive.

"Presumably it's dawn there, it's time for you to go. Hades turned around and turned his back to Hua Zhang. "The next time we meet, you must have reached the strength of a fifth-order battle soul master and be able to break through the seal of the dark tower. "Next time, child, you will grow up, but this one, I don't know how many years. Hades thought to himself, after all, it was time to go.

"Teacher!" Hatoko only felt two arms hugging her from her waist. "Thank you. Hua Zhang was already crying behind the underworld, although the underworld usually doesn't laugh much, and sometimes he has to toss him, but this teacher's intentions to himself, how can he not see it? Even if it is a stone, he has feelings after covering it for a year.

"Let's go, let's go, don't cry when you grow up, it's easy to be bullied when you go out" Hades raised his hand and didn't turn around.

"Hmm. Hua Zhang took two steps back and bowed deeply to the underworld. "Teacher, I will work hard to cultivate and come back to see you as soon as possible. ”

The last rays of the sun's afterglow disappeared in the sky, and Hua Zhang's body also turned into blue light dots, scattered in the air.

The underworld, who had been facing away from Hua Zhang, still didn't look back after all, but the old man in Hua Zhang's impression who always had a straight face was already in tears at this time. Hua Zhang thanked him, why didn't he want to thank Hua Zhang? Two thousand years of loneliness, the arrival of a child dispelled all loneliness, although every time Hua Zhang came here this year, he didn't talk to Hua Zhang much, came to say a few words casually and entered the high-intensity training. But every time Hua Zhang went to sleep, he was busy preparing ointment and medicinal baths to smear and soak Hua Zhang's dark body. Every time Hua Zhang came, he was curious about why this body had been beaten so quickly, it was because he was busy before and after, this year he had taken the medicine from the medicine garden that he had been idle for many years, but he was not distressed at all. Although he screamed bitterly at Hua Zhanglian every time, and even didn't want to come for a while, he always looked forward to Hua Zhang waking up, like an empty nester waiting for his child. The years have ravaged and corroded his old poplar tree, which has died for thousands of years, but the arrival of the child has made this old poplar grow green leaves and rejuvenate itself.

However, at the end of the song, the child is still gone......

The old man sat down on the bench as if he were asleep. At this moment, a stone of light and shadow slipped from his hand, revealing a half-engraved figure......

Pianshui Village, early in the morning.

Hua Zhang, who got up "Mom", found that his tears were still a little uncompromising, so he quickly wiped them with the quilt. I put on my clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

"Up?" said Mom, bringing out a sausage cut in half with a knife from the kitchen. There is also an omelette, a cup of soy milk. "Wash your face and come over for dinner. ”

"Hmm" Faced with the delicious taste that is usually difficult to taste, Hua Zhang at this time had no appetite, reluctantly ate two bites, drank up the soy milk and jumped off the table.

"Hmm, don't you have an appetite?" asked Hua Zhang's mother.

"Well, it's okay, just not too hungry. Hua Zhang walked to the kitchen and hugged his mother from behind.

"What's the matter?" Mom asked, turning her face back.

"Mom, you have to protect yourself and take care of yourself. Hua Zhang still couldn't help crying.

Huazhang School is a boarding system, and students are generally not allowed to leave the campus, and only have a holiday on Saturdays and Sundays, but because the village is too far away from the school, two days off are not enough to travel back and forth, so the village discusses picking up students once a semester. Perhaps Hua Zhang has been separated from his mother for the longest time since he was a child.

"Eh, don't cry, your face will be dark in a while. Hua Zhang's mother squatted down and wiped Hua Zhang's tears. "Don't cry, don't cry, my Huazhang has grown up, he is a big child, he will study hard at school and fight for his mother. "Tell this Huazhang not to cry, but she also cried silently. This walk is half a year, and the mother who has never left the child still can't hold back after all.

"Mmmm, I must fight for glory for my mother. Hua Zhang wiped his nose and said to his mother.

"Hua Niang, it's time for us to go. The old village chief called outside.

"Okay, here we are. Mom got up and shouted out the window before squatting down again. "Wipe your tears and don't go out and show people a joke. I went there to fight for my mother, don't make trouble with my classmates, and don't let others bully us. Ang, go grab your backpack and get ready for the village chief to go to school. Mom said to Hua Zhang while arranging his collar and playing with his hair.

"Mm-hmm, goodbye Mom. Hua Zhang picked up his backpack, wiped away his tears, waved his hand to his mother, and walked with the village chief to the way to school.

There are six people in this group, four of whom are children who are eligible to go to school this year, including Hua Zhang, three boys and one girl. The other two are the old village chief, and the other is the blacksmith in the village, although these two seem ordinary, in fact, the blacksmith is a third-order battle soul master, and the village chief is a fifth-order war soul master. They escort the children to school every year, and they can also reassure the people in the village with their escort. It's just that the school plan has changed this year, and several children in the older classes have been sent away in advance, so there are no children on this trip, and it is not tiring to send it away.

Walking on the dirt road in the countryside, I couldn't see anything at first, but after a long time, the children's physical fitness was revealed, and the little fat man who walked in front was the child of the merchant in the village. However, since childhood, pampered and habitual have also made this little chubby dun unable to walk at first, after all, it is not a very short road.

"When will we get there? The little fat man Wang Da Luo said.

"Look at the little girls who don't complain, are you embarrassed?" said the old village chief with a smile.

"Then she's thinner and lighter, I'm not fat. The fat man said embarrassedly.

"Okay, everyone should be tired, just take a break at the tea shop in front. The village chief followed the fat man's words.

The village chief and the blacksmith had been walking this road for several years, and it was clear that there was a place to rest, and there was a need to stay overnight. It's just that today is a little unlucky, the small teahouse in front of me that is not open except for holidays does not know why it is not open today?
