Chapter 20: Alliances

Wind is a very peculiar thing, formless, colorless and tasteless, but it can make people clearly feel its existence. The cool night breeze blew through the cracks in the forest through www.biquge.info the meadow, and the flames on the fire in front of Leo danced with the wind, like red elves jumping in the dark, this dance was so wonderful, so warm and bright.

A small red bottle was thrown into Leo's hand, followed by Darwin's cold voice: "Eat." ”

Leo was stunned for a moment, looked up at the temple warrior in front of him, reached out and uncorked the bottle, and a white pill with a faint fragrance rolled into his hand. Without hesitation, Leo tilted his head and swallowed the pill into his stomach. The pill melted in his mouth, and soon a strange warm current was created in his abdomen, which alleviated Leo's previous internal injuries a lot. It seemed that he had made the right bet, Leo let out a long breath and smiled at Darwin: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks." Darwin's tone was very cold, but fortunately, after Leo had spent a day with him, he had already understood that this temple warrior was so quiet by nature, and he didn't get angry with him. Leo was about to say something, but he was once again preempted by Darwin: "The magic you just cast - has something to do with the soul?" ”

"Yes." Leo nodded, not hiding what Darwin meant: "It's called Soul Detection. ”

"Soul Detection." Darwin silently recited it several times, and seemed to mind the name of this magic spell: "You'd better use this magic less in the future." ”

"Hmm." Leo smiled bitterly and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, which and the internal injuries in his body were caused by Darwin's counterattack: "At least I'll be careful when you're by my side." ”

"That's not what I meant." Darwin shook his head, and the expression on his face changed rarely: "In the Church, the soul is considered to be the exclusive domain of the gods, and any mortal who comes into contact with this realm will be considered a blasphemous heresy by the Church, even His Majesty the Pope. ”

Leo was slightly startled, and then asked with some puzzlement: "In that case, why does this Book of Lemuel, which is obviously from the church, record soul magic?" ”

"I don't know." The look on Darwin's face reverted to his previous rejection.

"Well, anyway, I still want to thank you." Leo laughed.

"There's no need." Darwin dropped a word, then turned and walked towards the dense forest beyond the clearing.

"Wait!" Leo suddenly stopped Darwin. The figure of the dark temple warrior who was about to disappear into the firelight paused slightly, and then stopped a little reluctantly, and there was a hint of impatience in his voice: "Something? ”

"Yes, something very important." Leo said seriously, "Why don't you sit down and talk to me face to face?" ”

"Say it quickly." Darwin turned to face Leo, but there was no sign of movement under his feet, clearly showing no interest in Leo's proposal.

Leo watched Darwin's every move, but he just smiled disapprovingly, and then said, "Let's make an alliance." ”

There was silence in the glade, and an owl flew above them, its wings almost unbalanced by the heat of the faint smoke from the fire, and it let out a scream of terror before flapping its wings away.

"Alliance?" Darwin asked suddenly, the expression on his face was half disapproving, and the other half was a little ironic, the world of cultivators has always paid attention to strength, how can a beginner-level divine magician who has just become a first-level cultivator have the qualifications to form an alliance with a middle-level temple warrior like Darwin? It sounds as ridiculous as if the earth dog and the cheetah were in an alliance.

"Forge an alliance." Leo replied in the affirmative, the young magician was obviously very confident, and did not wait for Darwin's answer before he preemptively said: "In my opinion, the most important thing for you now is to cancel the soul slavery contract with Lord Leifeng, right?" ”

The expression on Darwin's face suddenly fluctuated, but his tone remained the same as before: "It's not a shame to do things for Lord Lei Feng. ”

"Is that so?" Leo laughed and retorted, "Of course, it's not a shame to do things for Lord Lei Feng, but what about being a dog that can only be obedient forever for Lord Lei Feng?" If you don't have freedom in your life, what's the point of having even the most powerful? ”

Darwin's eyes flickered again, and he suddenly said, "What the hell do you want to say?" ”

"I've already said what I want to say," Leo put away his smile and said very seriously, "Although I haven't signed any soul enslavement contracts, you should know very well that for Lord Lei Feng, the two of us are actually just one of his pawns. Now the facts are in front of us - as long as we are not able to complete his task for a day, the two of us will not be able to achieve true freedom for a day. Now this state of mutual wariness and suspicion between us will only drag the two of us down to each other, so let's make an alliance. ”

Darwin didn't answer, so Leo waited for a while, and then continued to try to convince the other party: "I know the reason why you hesitate is because my current strength is too low, and I don't have the capital to be equal to you, right?" Leo picked up the Book of Remuel in his hand, shook it at Darwin, and then pointed to his chest: "But don't forget the Book of Remuel in my hand and the Holy Pill in my body, I think you should know very well what it means." ”

There is no doubt that the books of Saint-Dan and Lemuel together represent only one thing, and that is - potential! In other words, although Leo had only just stepped into the door of a cultivator at the moment, after possessing these two treasures, he already had great potential.

Darwin was neither stupid nor forgetful, he remembered very clearly the words of the Sanctuary powerhouse who forced him to sign a soul slavery contract when he gave Leo the Book of Lemuel, and the meaning revealed in those words was very obvious - Leo had the potential to cultivate to the Sanctuary! It may be a shame to form an alliance with a first-level magician, but what if you form an alliance with a first-level magician who has the hope of breaking through to the Sanctuary in the future?

Darwin, who had figured out this section, didn't hesitate for too long before making a decision, so he walked up to Leo and stretched out his right palm: "Alliance? ”

Leo laughed happily, also stretched out his right palm, and Darwin's palm struck lightly in the air: "From today on, we are true partners and allies." ”

"I hope so." Darwin gave Leo a deep look, then turned around, and before the whole figure disappeared into darkness, a sentence came into Leo's ears: "I'm nearby, something calls me." ”

"Whew!" Looking at the direction in which Darwin disappeared, Leo suddenly felt a sense of relief, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the big stone in his heart was slightly lowered.

In any case, at least in this unpredictable impersonation trip, he has secured himself one of the most powerful allies he can currently win. But Leo didn't relax in any way, but sat down and continued to concentrate on studying the three magic techniques he had just mastered.

Only one's own power is the real power. - Mojik Brichette, the greatest Holy Magister of all time.
