In the darkness of the night, there is always some light, even in the abyss. - Ovira Empire: Slang

Hanging from the patio of the water prison, Chalkin touched the water stain on his face, and by the dim light, he saw Melissa squatting on the ground reaching out to him.

"Will you trust me?"

One is a slave boy at the bottom of a black cell, and the other is a high-flying emissary of the Cult of Steam.

At this moment, Chalkin looked at Melissa who stretched out her fair and clean little hand, and couldn't help but have an illusion that she was like a beautiful angel.

Melissa had a little sadness on her face, but she didn't withdraw her helping hand:

"Who do you think you are, the old man is the arcane master of Sequence Five, he is the rotating man who guards the Chanis Gate, and he is a powerful wise man who has stepped into the realm of demigods with one foot. ”

Reaching out, Charkin grabbed Melissa's slender palm.

There is a sense of toughness and strength coming from the palm of the hand, which is not wide, and people can't help but feel a sense of stability.

Chalkin didn't fully believe Melissa's words, and this juncture was too critical.

Although Melissa is indeed good to Charkin, Old Tinny has a very special place in Melissa's heart.

The ritual was ruined, the pressure of the gods almost destroyed the entire alchemy room, and old Tini was unconscious and possibly turned into a vegetative state, but Chalkin was unscathed.

Before she found out, Melissa didn't have any reason to visit him as he was being held here.

Seeing Charkin's inquiring gaze, Melissa further explained, "The next level of the Mystic Master is the Sequence Four Prophet, who has a certain amount of foreknowledge of what is about to happen to him. “

"Old Tini told me when you were first imprisoned at Chanis Gate. ”

"You're going to be the key to the loss of control and madness in him. ”

Chalkin touched his nose and laughed mockingly, "So that's why you've had a crush on me from the beginning?"

A small steam robot took out a handkerchief from its metal shell and handed it to Charkin, but Melissa's eyes were a little hollow, and she only admitted, "There is indeed a reason for this." ”

Chalkin hung his head, but he didn't think anything was wrong.

After all, he was not the real Chalkin, the chivalrous boy who was born into the aristocracy but was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The rich occult memories and experiences far beyond his real age made it clear to him that Melissa was not lying, which also explained why old Tinny and Melissa took such good care of him.

"The old man has long said that one day, you will bring him a real opportunity, and a better life may be death. ”

"However, none of this has anything to do with you, he asked me to treat you as his disciple and as a relative. “

Melissa, who was standing on the ground with a clear expression of loneliness and sadness on her face, had a bad premonition rising from Charkin's heart, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this, how is Old Tinny now?"

"He developed extraordinary traits and didn't become a monster. ”

Chalkin was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Extraordinary characteristics?"

"Yes. Melissa did not have any emotion in her eyes, and continued lightly:

Mama said that she saw the spirit of old Tinny, and walked peacefully. For the extraordinary, not losing control, not turning into a monster, and dying in the final magical ritual, this is a very good and decent way to leave. ”

"What!"

Hearing Melissa's words, Chalkin froze in shock.

He never dreamed that the powerful Mystic Mentor would just leave.

In front of him, the scenes of talking and laughing with old Tini crossed Chalkin's mind.

There is his smile and his cheeks, which are full of folds like blooming chrysanthemums.

There is the appearance of him standing in the alchemy room, patiently explaining the knowledge of the occult.

There is the expression of him experimenting with mystical rituals and secretly drinking spiritual brew like an old drunkard.

There is his unreserved trust in Chalkin, and his squinting eyes recommending 'his own daughter' to Chalkin like a rogue father.

"You must be joking, aren't you?" Chalkin couldn't believe that a mere 'little experiment' in old Tiny could send away the great mystical teacher forever.

He achieved his goal, and finally did not lose control, and passed away peacefully like an ordinary person. ”

"We are guardians and wretched creatures against madness. (note 1)

"It's all because of you, though!" Melissa suddenly screamed, and she reached out and slammed her grip on Charkin's neck.

A strong feeling of suffocation arises spontaneously.

Chalkin squeezed Melissa's arm with both hands, trying to struggle, trying to explain.

But at the moment, he only had trouble breathing, only breathlessness.

The terrifying power squeezed his neck, and Melissa said in a questioning tone: "Say, why didn't you die, why did you, who only have the strength of Sequence 10, be able to open the handcuffs of Hei Luo Shi, where did the seal in your hand come from?"

"Why are you so powerful to attract the attention of the gods? ”

"Tell me all of them. ”

Looking at the crazy Melissa, Charkin almost raised his hand to keep her calm and calm with his blessing.

But when he raised his hand, the depleted spiritual power could not exert any extraordinary power.

He was slammed to the ground, the intense pain and the great sense of crisis, he suddenly remembered the second half of a slang from the host's hometown: In the dark night, there is always a little light, even in the abyss, but the light is not necessarily good, it can also be dangerous, it is watching.

The little warmth that had just been born became extremely cold at this time because of Melissa's murderous eyes.

This is a cannibalistic world, and no one's words can be easily trusted.

Chalkin was shocked in his heart, but he knew each other very well without strength, and pretended to be afraid and said: "Melissa, don't be like this, calm down first! The reason why my spirituality is so strong is because of the previous ritual, I took the giant potion that Old Tinny gave me, and expanded my spiritual ocean. ”

"What about the extraordinary items on you, did old Tini give them to you?"

Charkin's eyes flickered, and he didn't know whether to expose his deal with the seal behind Chanis's door.

Before he could speak, Melissa spoke again: "You want to lie! Tell me, how many secrets of the Dragon Family are hidden in you! Don't deny it, if it weren't for Duke Dragon's treasure, how could a mere ritual magic attract the 'attention of the gods'!"

Chargin gritted his teeth and said, "Melissa, are you coveting the treasure of the Dragon Family? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, the Dragon Family doesn't have any secret treasures at all!"

"I don't know why it attracted God's attention!"

Melissa grinned and said lightly: "Experimenter 279527, you still don't want to tell the truth, forget it! Dead people don't lie, since you don't want to say, then I have to ask your spirit directly!"

Just as Melissa raised her hand violently, wanting to kill Charkin, an old voice suddenly came from afar.

"It is I! I have rebelled against the Lord and attracted the gaze of the God of knowledge and wisdom!"

Chalkin and Melissa turned back together, only to see another Melissa standing at the door of the water dungeon holding an old man in a black robe.

The person who came was actually old Tinny who had woken up! And standing next to him was Melissa, who had round eyes and a blue look!
