Chapter 11: Confusion
Jiwen returned to the Forbidden God Dimension again.
Just like last time, the surrounding area was still the dull white wasteland, and the wounds on his body had healed again.
But this time, Given's vision saw a familiar landmark - the gray conch.
Jiwen remembered that the goblin second-hand store was not too far from the conch, and if he tried to find it, he would probably be able to find it. But now that I have a goblin teleporter, I shouldn't have to bother with it.
However, Jiwen is not in a hurry to go back now, because there seem to be too many things that he cannot understand in the short conflict just now.
So he sat down and fell into deep thought.
Maybe it's time to check out the elf Adelia's memories.
After this period of rest, Given's mental strength recovered a lot, and he tried to enter the memory in the depths of his mind again.
The expedition went well, and he quickly understood what the blood pact between himself and Adelia was.
The Blood Contract, which is a powerful contract formed by the summoner with the summoned beast at the cost of his life, is more powerful than the ordinary summoning contract. This contract can share the abilities shared between the summoned beast and the summoner, and promote the growth of both parties.
However, such a powerful contract will cost the summoner's life, and when the summon beast is too strong relative to the summoner, or is used too often, then the summoner will run out of oil and run out of life.
Summoners can only use the Blood Contract once in their lifetime, so most Summoners will use the Blood Contract to enhance their strength and that of the summoned beast when their abilities are at their peak.
Trying to use a blood contract on a mid-level summoned beast like Adelia is nothing short of crazy.
But why would she do it?
Why was she so eager to become a Forbidden Spell Summoner?
Given's deep dive into Adella's memories once more, this time quickly unearthing a hidden hatred in the shadow of the past.
Givens was struck by the resentment that emanated from that hatred. Those resentments were too powerful for Giwen to see the source of the memories related to the hatred for a while.
He could only see countless black spirits twisted together like chains, firmly locking on a certain memory of the elf, and no one could get close.
And above that memory, a huge black shadow danced.
And the shadow had a body as large as a dragon, wielding huge evil wings, and a pair of evil scarlet eyes flashed in the middle of a long, narrow head with two horns.
This unspeakably powerful shadow was the target of this hatred, and the wraiths stared at it with their empty eyes, their eyes moving with the shadow's dance.
It was an enemy that could only be avenged by becoming a Forbidden Spell Summoner.
It is this hatred that has driven Adelia to continue to move forward through countless setbacks and difficulties until today.
Givens was shocked by the scene in front of him, and the mid-shadow in the sky seemed to notice the intruder.
Those eyes stared at Jiwen, and a shocking throbbing went straight to the bottom of Jiwen's heart.
In an instant, a sharp pain came from Jiwen's brain, and he was immediately pulled back to reality.
The fear brought by that gaze just now made Jiwen feel every hair stand on end. Even though he was out of Adelia's memory, he still felt palpitations.
That dark shadow was terrifying.
Jiwen rubbed his temples in pain, relaxed his nerves, calmed his rapid breathing, and it took a long time for him to recover. After this toss, all his mental power was exhausted, and it would take a while to revisit this memory.
It seems that it is not easy to figure out what happened.
After a short rest, Gilvin finally decided to go home.
I saw him take out the goblin teleporter on his wrist and press the start button.
There was a flash of white light around him, and everything turned into nothingness.
When Jiwen came back to his senses, he was already in the square of the goblin second-hand store.
There is no difference between day and night in the forbidden god space, everything is so bright. But now that the employees seemed to be off work, Given's look around and there wasn't even a single person in the square asking for directions.
He still didn't know where he was going to report to the new employee what the dormitory that Harvey Sr. had promised was like.
Helpless, Givens had no choice but to walk towards the nearest building, where the door was wide open and there seemed to be movement inside.
Jiwen pushed open the hidden door and walked straight inside.
But the moment he cast his gaze into the room, the muscles in his mixed body immediately tensed.
He saw a white figure with huge wings,
It was the birdman who almost chopped off his own neck.
Givens immediately took a half-step back, his eyes looking around for something that could be used as a weapon.
But this movement made a guy in the house nag dissatisfied.
"Hey, Given, you're back, why are you so slow!"
It's old Harvey!
Given's eyes were fixed as the old goblin poked his head out from across from the birdman, his face flushed with the stimulation of alcohol.
Harvey's greeting made the birdman turn his head as well.
He looked at Jiwen's nervous face, then beckoned.
"Come on, boy, this isn't the hall you just had, there's no need to be so nervous. ”
Given, wary of the Birdman, cautiously walked in.
Watching Given's movements, Harvey, as an employer, seemed a little embarrassed, and he burped while explaining to the birdman: "New here, I don't understand anything yet." ”
After old Harvey finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and glared at Given.
"Hurry up and get off that outfit, come and sit down, this room is full of friends!"
The birdman immediately laughed, and the peculiar bird's laughter sounded so harsh to Given.
Seeing this, Jiwen had to take off his skeletal beast head and cloak and go to the table.
As soon as he sat down, the birdman handed him a bottle.
"Your name is Given, and I'm Quintus, the greatest warrior of the Eagle Clan. You're good, and you deserve my toast!"
The Birdman seemed to be friendly, and the drunken appearance of Old Harvey seemed to indicate that it was a peaceful party.
So Givan carefully took the bottle and took a sip.
The green liquid was like a mixture of beer and rice wine, and it was a non-threatening drink for Given, who had a good amount of alcohol.
The birdman looked at Given's bold drinking, and opened his long yellow beak happily, and he also took a sharp puff, and then patted Given's shoulder hard.
"That's what a warrior looks like! Remember, we're all minions, and it's the summoners who fight, not us. Don't bring summoner's vendetta into this world. ”
"Yes! Go ****** summoner. Friendship between summoned creatures is eternal. The drunken Harvey's conversation became vulgar and blunt, and he picked up the bottle, took a sip, and joined the wine fight.
With the stimulation of alcohol, the three human beings on the table immediately crossed the boundaries of race and age, and were as intimate as brothers, saying everything and everything.
However, Givens seems to be the best drinker of the three, and he has always been sober. In a few moments, old Harvey was drinking with a short tongue, but the more the birdman drank and spoke, the more interested he became.
"I said Jiwen, you were just summoned, did old Harvey tell you how to be a summoning beast?"
Givens shook his head.
Birdman Quintus's eyes immediately lit up, and he was interested.
"Then I'll have to tell you about the three most important principles, or you'll be fooled by those summoners. The most important thing is to maintain your independence at all times. Don't tell your summoner everything you do. Don't let them know what you're thinking, don't let them know your weaknesses, so they can't control you. ”
These words made Jiwen a little interested. In his subconscious, the summoned beast should be in touch with the summoner, intimate. But now it seems a little different. Now he was curious, and he listened.
Seeing that he had a loyal audience, Birdman proudly showed off, "I've changed dozens of summoners, but I never say a word to them. So I'm going to live my life and no one wants to seduce me Quintus into anything!"
"What else?" asked Giving, after all, this is a good opportunity to get to know the world.
"Second, you have to move around this world more, meet enough friends, and build relationships with summoned beasts. Everyone is a summoned creature, and they have to go back to this space after the fight, and they don't look up to see each other, and it's not good to make a meeting with red eyes. ”
Hearing this, Jiwen almost choked, this ...... It was a little different from what he expected, and it sounded familiar, similar to what the brother in the upper bunk in the dormitory nagged about every day after he became a student council officer.
But at this time, old Harvey, who was a little sober, interjected: "Jiwen, you don't understand. The more advanced the summoner, the opponent summoned in battle, often an acquaintance who has known each other for many years. Therefore, the big battles between those high-level summoned beasts, don't look at the beautiful scenes, many of them are fakes. Everyone filled the scene, made a show, released water together, and fooled those summoners, how relaxed and happy. ”
"That's right, if we had known each other earlier, we wouldn't have had to fight to the death last time in the hall. Quintus handed the bottle over again.
Hearing these shocking words, Jiwen couldn't calm down for a long time, he touched the neck that was almost cut off by Quintus last time, and then quickly touched the bottle with Quintus.
After the two of them took a hard bit, Jiwen was a little relieved. If Adelia and that archon get into a fight, at least she won't have to worry about being slashed by Quintus again.
After a few bottles of this and idle for a long time, Jiwen suddenly remembered that there was still the last one that he hadn't said, and he pushed and drank Quintus, who was already a little confused, and asked, "Quintus, you haven't said the last one yet." ”
Quintus raised his bird's head, blinked, and replied, "The last one is, don't forget to make the summoners pay. Boy, you have to understand that as summoned beasts, it should be the summoners who ask for us, not us who are called by them. Keep your mouth shut and stay away from your summoner. When the time comes, they will naturally rush to please you with sacrifices. ”
"What is that?" asked Given, puzzled, but Quintus was completely drunk and collapsed on the table.
Harvey, the only remaining drinking buddy on the scene, took over the conversation.
"Sacrifice...... Only...... It is...... The summoner gave us ...... Target...... Gift. ”
Seeing that the old goblin was about to get drunk, Jiwen felt that he should quickly change the subject. Now he probably knew what sacrifice was, but he didn't know the answer to another question.
"By the way, boss, where is my room?"
"Room...... I ...... Think about it. ”
The old goblin behaved differently when he was drunk than Quintus, he just reacted too insensitively. Half a minute after falling into a state of dementia, the elder Harvey suddenly grabbed Given's hand and snapped his fingers.
Holding the bottle, Givens suddenly found himself in a pink room. The room was not big, but at least it was clean.
"Is this my room?" asked Given, unsure if Harvey would teleport to the wrong place while drunk.
"Well, up...... Last...... Just gone, you can ...... Directly lived. Old Harvey stammered, and immediately teleported away, leaving only Given.
Givens looked down the room and saw that it was the top floor of a two-story building on the edge of the square. There was no furniture in the room, only a stone bed, and there were many decorations made of feathers or small crystals on the walls, and it seemed that the previous owner of this room was a fellow who loved to decorate.
Feeling a little tired, Jiwen lay down on the bed.
Although he didn't really need to sleep in this world, he still wanted to maintain a normal life, so he closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
