Chapter 139: Acquaintance
The next moment, Todd took out the last fragment of the Yuan Soul Star Stone from his arms and held the spar high above the top. A low chant sounded like a dream, and a huge torrent of energy suddenly surged out from the feet of Todd and the fourteen puppets, and was instantly absorbed into the fifteen thick silver threads that had been drawn long ago, rushing towards An Jie in the wheelchair. Todd's smile grew brighter when he saw this, but his body withered and decayed in a matter of seconds, turning into pale silver sand flying in the sky along with the other fourteen puppets.
"Jingle bells!"
At this moment, the soul-nourishing lantern tied to An Jie's hand suddenly began to shake. Through the chaotic line of sight, Luo Ning could vaguely see that the fine sand in the sky was flying towards the strange and mysterious bronze lantern, condensing into a spiral-shaped storm, which was sucked into the body by the soul-nourishing lantern.
"Daddy...... I remember!Dad, I'm ......" The mysterious girl Tao Lan's eyes were full of tears, and she muttered incoherent babble in her mouth, and her body unconsciously walked to the stage.
Garuk wanted to step forward to comfort the girl, but was pulled by Luo Ning: "What are you doing?!"
"Hey, don't you see this little girl being sad? Why are you so cold?!"
"I see.......," Ronin muttered for a moment, then suddenly put his hand on the back of Garuk's head, and quickly chanted a spell in his mouth. Arrow-like magic whizzed against Garuk's skin, deftly shuttling back and forth in the sea of his soul. Galluk's gaze changed from anxious to confused in an instant, and then from confusion to surprise! Luo Ning didn't confirm it at first, but when Garuk chased him out, he dared to conclude that the guard of this illusion was none other than the girl in the white dress who called herself Tao Lan. As long as the person who broke into the illusion accompanied her to see everything that happened in the illusion, it was very likely that she would be unconsciously bewitched by the illusion and regard Tao Lan as Todd's biological daughter - An Jie's appearance after being reborn.
But coincidentally, among the few people present, Blue Bird was loyal to Ah Lan, and it was difficult to carry an imposter to bewitch him. And Luo Ning's spiritual power is so powerful that it is outrageous, even better than many demigods who major in magic. Such a child-like illusion naturally couldn't bother him. Only Garuk, who doesn't know Ah Lan, and his mental power is not extremely strong, so he naturally fell into bad luck!
"Ah!" said Garuk, after looking around, "Ronin, what is going on? Aren't we in a theater? What about the little girl? I remember a little girl sitting around here, and what about her?"
Only then did Luo Ning notice that Tao Lan's figure had long since disappeared, replaced by a silver key, lying quietly on the chair beside him that was still warm.
Galis was frightened, "I survived because of Lord Todd!" When Alain found me, I and the other two test subjects were the only ones left alive in the dwelling. My two compatriots were closer to Ah Lan, and she crushed the energy core before me, and even the Yuan Soul Star Stone on her body was taken away and eaten by her! Just as she was about to kill me, Lord Todd suddenly appeared in front of me. That claw naturally pierced Lord Todd's abdomen, but saved me from death!"
Garuk exclaimed, "Ah! pierced Lord Todd's abdomen?!Isn't Lord Todd ......?"
Todd carefully pushes the wheelchair into the corner of the room, then casts a spell to order the fifteen seemingly unconscious puppets to stand in a semicircle. Then, with a tense face, Todd silently drew a thick silver line of fifteen fine incantations on the ground. The mysterious girl in the white dress was still there, and Luo Ning and the other three were taken aback when they saw these silver threads emanating from the feet of fifteen puppets and pointing at Todd's feet. Because the material used to draw the thick line of the set is the Yuan Soul Star Stone powder that was concocted into alchemy materials.
"Yuan Soul Star Stone?!! Lord Todd, what the hell is he doing?! This is simply a tyrannical thing!" Even Garuk, who didn't understand the way of alchemy, knew how precious this powder was, and couldn't help but sigh.
Luo Ning roughly guessed Todd's intentions, and frowned: "The family said that Lord Todd only uses food puppets as tools, and it seems that the actual situation is even worse than his description!" He glanced at Tao Lan, a mysterious girl with a dull gaze, and wondered whether he should blindfold this young lady first. After all, the next scene is not so pretty!
But he didn't intervene in the end. Because he saw traces of the spell in the girl's pupils, it made him suddenly realize that no matter how real the girl in front of him looked, she was a fictional character created by the illusion, and it was more likely that the three of them had entered the fifth layer of the illusion!
It's just that even Luo Ning himself didn't expect that the truth of the matter was far more complicated and tortuous than he thought.
Todd's magic array may seem complicated, but for a father who has been preparing for thirty years just to resurrect his daughter, it has already been imprinted in his mind, and it doesn't take long for this strangely shaped magic array to be fully carved.
It is said that it has a strange shape because fifteen thick silver threads are forcibly embedded in one side of the magic array that should be round, and become fifteen concentric circles closely interspersed. It couldn't help but be Luo Ning, and even Russell, who was staying on his arm, screamed in surprise, saying that he had never seen a magic array like this.
Just as a few people were amazed, Todd suddenly got up and walked to the corner of the room, pushing the sleeping Ah Lan to the center of the room, stopping at the center of the fifteen concentric circles. It's just that for some reason, Todd walked slower and slower, and when he pushed Ah Lan into the middle of the concentric circles, he suddenly trembled and fell to his knees, and a muffled whimper came from his throat.
"I'm sorry!I'm sorry!!I'm sorry!!" Todd leaned sideways, burying his head deep in the crook of Alan's arm, and an apologetic voice kept coming from his mouth.
Garuk looked confused, and said to himself: "This, what's the matter? I'm sorry? Who is Lord Todd apologizing? An Jie's death is not to blame? Besides, with his mind, this has been thirty years, shouldn't he still feel guilty?!"
Luo Ning shook his head and said, "No, it's not An Jie, it's the fifteen puppets made by him himself! Do you remember what Galis said? Lord Todd only thinks they are dispensable tool people?! But you may not know: the strength of the puppets themselves is closely related to the relationship between the puppet warlock and the puppets! If Lord Todd really treats them as tool people, it is absolutely impossible for him to be so cruel to them!"
