Chapter Thirty-Seven: Xiao Ling, in the Name of the Devil.
Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Brochure... Brochure..."
In the gloomy basement, a pink-haired boy was looking for something, turning over the barrel from time to time, and then running under the wine rack after a while
Aside from the exaggerated frost on the floor, Kirby looked right and right, but he didn't find anything related to the book
"Could it be that his dad really took the booklet away?"
"It shouldn't be..."
Going around and around, there was no trace of the thing, but the cold air emitted from the cellar made Kirby deny the idea in his heart
It was a very familiar aura, so familiar that even Kirby himself couldn't remember when he had been exposed to it
Shaking off the complicated thoughts in his mind, Kebi simply closed his eyes
The basement also became dim again because of the lack of fire
Over here?
Wrong...
Over here?
...
After dozens of minutes, Kirby finally figured out the source of the breath that had made him tumble in the first place
Overhead!
"Bastard... It's kind of easy for me to find!"
Kirby jumped to his feet, reached out and took off the notes that were close at hand, and exhaled carefully, brushing the dust off the bamboo slips
By the light of the fire, Kirby carefully studied the broken scroll in his hand
Contrary to what Usopp said, perhaps his childhood memories have been blurred
In short, what is in Kebi's hand at this time is not a simple small book, but a bamboo slip that has been preserved in a special way!
This technique was so familiar to him that he thought it was from his time
I can't wait to flip down, and the familiar fonts come to the fore one by one
So far, although the text on the bamboo slips has been blurred, it has not been destroyed by the erosion of time
A Brief History of Magic
It sounds like a domineering name, but when you open it, it's just a simple biography
"This is—" Kirby carefully examined every word on the bamboo slip
At the beginning, it was nothing more than the origin, development and transformation of magic in this world
However, such a simple description made Kirby frown
"Is it a coincidence..."
Kirby quickly flipped through one roll after another, and on the slightly heavy bamboo slips, the extremely familiar past was recorded
"No... It won't..."
One after another, the names that are all too familiar in my memory jumped on the bamboo
Kirby's hand couldn't help but clench the bamboo slip, but he couldn't shake it
Moling, Gluttony, Rock, and...
Fire Leaf!
Kirby's eyes widened, and he sped up flipping through the pages
Just as I had experienced it myself, a strange sense of familiarity came over me
"It's... Our History?"
A new star rises and sweeps across the Church of Light
The Magic Dynasty has finally unified the Terrans
The last of the last
Nature...
The orcs invade and the gods fall
Even the elements no longer favor humans, and a dry mage guarding the magic tower is a cocoon after all
Terran destruction?!
This...
...
"Looks like there's something in the middle..."
Kirby frowned and flipped through the last one, leaving nothing but one line of ellipses
At the end of the bamboo slip, a soft, jade-like thing suddenly slipped down, just when Kirby wanted to pick it up and take a peek...
A chill that soars to the sky!
Booming!
The first to bear the brunt was the bamboo slip in his hand, followed by Kirby's arm, which was almost inky black frost, and the next moment it had rapidly and gradually spread to his shoulder!
If it weren't for Kebi's faster reaction, I'm afraid that his whole body would have been eroded by this chill!
"Damn, something!"
Kirby hurriedly stepped back, using the flames to dispel the chill in his body
But...
This familiar feeling...
Look at the familiar shadow
Kirby's heart suddenly swelled with a familiar strange feeling
Yes!
In addition to the orcs' poison! Also, there's...
“!”
Suddenly startled, Kirby quickly retreated, ignoring the bamboo slip in his hand, and quickly ran to the exit of the cellar, and threw a large fireball behind him
Bang!
Expected explosions
Extreme cold meets extreme heat, and a violent explosion erupts in an instant!
"Ahh
It wasn't until Kirby fell headlong into the grass outside the cellar that the movement behind him gradually stopped
In the darkness, a faint blue light could be seen flickering and shining, bubbling with a little starlight
Even from a dozen meters away, Kirby could still feel the chill to the bone
But it was in that place that Kirby felt a familiar energy, calling to him!
Ling'er...
Is that you, Ling'er!
"Can't hesitate any longer!"
As if remembering something important, Kirby hurriedly ran to the source of the explosion
Kirby propped up a blazing fire in one hand, resisting the cold erosion, and gradually approached
Re-enter the cellar and the shadows become clear
"Xiao Ling!"
No matter how familiar the figure is, Kebi knows very well that it is his old acquaintance, Xiao Ling!
A genius girl of water magic, a star of hope for a hundred years of the human race, and the youngest head of the Xiao family!
It's just that her current appearance doesn't look much better, only a star and a half away, and she is about to fall into the Yellow Spring!
"Xiao Ling, how did you become like this! Xiao Ling!"
The guy who has never tasted defeat in his memory ended up like this!
"Fire Leaves... Is that you, Horo..."
Xiao Ling's voice came intermittently, the girl's eyes were wrinkled, and the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, as if she was carefully looking at her current situation, and slowly floated over
The bone-chilling chill eroded again, and Kirby couldn't help but shrink his body
As soon as he got close to the shadow, Kirby felt like his soul was going to freeze, and his mind began to stiffen
"Wait... Wait a minute!"
"Don't come here again, do you want to kill me, Mo Ling!"
“......”
The girl stopped, and was silent for a long time, as if she couldn't believe it, and looked at Kirby over and over again from top to bottom
A sense of discomfort in the soul being seen through arises
An illusion composed purely of elemental souls, simulating a girl's smile
"It's really a fire leaf... You're not dead, you're not dead... It's great... It's wonderful..."
"How can this be?!!How did you become like this!" Kirby's voice was hysterical, and he almost grabbed the girl's hand and shook it
But he couldn't do that, because it was a pure, high-density ice-based energy, a spell-level spell illusion
Moreover, it also contains the breath of Gu poison!
Once you have the slightest contact, you can imagine what happened to you at the beginning!
"Hehe..."
The girl smiled wryly
"Yes, you haven't been around for so long, I thought you were..."
"In the end..."
"Hey..."
The girl sighed lightly and said in a hurried tone
"I'm running out of time, long story short!"
"Yes!"
Ke Zhong nodded solemnly, judging from Xiao Ling's soul state, it was indeed very unstable
"Three thousand years, three thousand years have passed since the time of your fall!"
The girl's only one sentence made Kirby almost jump in shock
It turns out that he didn't even have a soul crossing!
No wonder his strength has risen so fast
It seems that he is possessed by this body, and from the beginning he has been a seizure of his own consciousness!
Come to think of it this way...
If it weren't for the extreme weakness of that kid's soul at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have this opportunity...
It's just that the soul has been silent for too long... Can't inherit a trace of the power of the ontology?
So it seems... At first, I was like a magic apprentice who had just entered the magic path...
But sure enough, what surprised him the most was -
He's still on the original continent!
That is, the memory of...
Red Continent?!
"This..."
Kirby was a little unacceptable, originally thinking that if he obtained the power to tear through the space, he would be able to return to the original world and save the human race from danger
Unexpectedly, this black eye directly spanned three thousand years!
How good is that!
Could it be that what I have been doing all this time is just in vain?
What's the point of a world where everyone is dead!
"No... It won't..."
Kirby's eyes were fixed on the girl's shadow, and he said word by word
"You're lying, you're not Xiao Ling!"
The girl didn't refute, just watched Kirby playfully bend the corners of her eyebrows, and her eyes turned into a crescent moon
“......”
[It's her... It's really her] Looking at the once familiar smile, Kirby felt like he was choked on his throat, and his lips were biting blood
...
"Hehe, I'm relieved to see that you're still there, at least... You still have time..."The girl laughed like a crescent moon on the edge of the sky in early autumn, although it was still cold, but it was unexpectedly meek
The autumn wind swept by, and Kirby clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turned white
"There's still a chance, just find that legendary OnePiece...", the girl described softly, saying things that had nothing to do with her
"Just... Just..."
"Ahem, forget it—" The girl shook her head as if she had thought of something
"In the name of the devil, bless you, Fire Leaf!"
"I want to live happily~"
There was still a quiet smile in the air, and in a blink of an eye, the girl dissipated into nothingness, except for the bamboo slips that were frozen into ice chips, and the only thing left on the ground was the jade slips that had been shining from the beginning
It's just that at this time, Yu Jian, as if she had lost her soul, dimmed, and never saw a starlight again
"Hey, Xiao Ling!"
"Xiao Ling!"
"I won't let you just leave!"
"Bastard!"
"Get it done, bastard!"
...
