The day after Long Xu woke up, Long Yun made a solemn decision.
She took out the treasured "separation grass", this spirit plant can only be formed into a plant for a hundred years, and it is the treasure of the Long family.
As soon as this treasure came out, it was immediately opposed by some affiliated families, and this was a treasure given by the Wangjin Empire in the "Battle of the Seven Dragons" that year, which has extraordinary significance.
In the Starlight Continent, because summoners share life with natal beasts, they can't live alone. Separation of grass came into being, and it was the only way to reverse the law.
Once the summoner dies, his summoned beasts will hurt their vitality, but they will not die, and can immediately turn back into free bodies. But at the same time, the natal beast will weaken extremely quickly, consume it within three days, and eventually die.
However, if the "Separation Grass" is used in time during its weakening period, the Natal Beast will cut off the link with the summoner and become a monster with an independent life.
Humans are the same, during the three-day weakening period after the death of the natal beast, they can rely on the "separation grass" to pick up a life.
In the Starlight Continent, where death often occurs, the role of separating grass is naturally self-evident.
However, it is used most often than for humans, but for natal beasts.
As we all know, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate the growth of a natal beast, but their lifespan is destined to be limited, and after a short period of glory, they will be buried with the summoner.
But many natal beasts in this world are unique demon beasts, and they are the only ones in the world. Some of the magical abilities possessed can even benefit humanity in a steady stream and promote development.
Therefore, the empire has almost monopolized the growth of "detached grass", and a few detached grasses can grow every hundred years, almost all of which are used on the body of the natal beast.
Those nine-star natal beasts, many years after the summoner's death...... is still tirelessly dedicating everything to the empire, and has become a "monster army" that the empire cannot ignore.
And the "separation grass" that the Long family was honored to obtain was also planned in advance, ready to leave it to a powerful nine-star natal beast, making it the support of the Long family for hundreds of years to come.
But no one expected that this treasure, which had been poured into countless expectations, would eventually be used to treat a "waste wood" lady, which may be regarded as a tyrannical thing.
This will inevitably be questioned by some people in the affiliated families, who were willing to follow the Long family at the beginning, and many people took a fancy to their future potential as "separating grass".
But Long Yun did not waver in this matter, she only said, "There will be more separation grass, but my Axu has only one...... The origin of this detached grass is the result of my sister's heroic sacrifice in the Battle of the Seven Dragons. I think that if my sisters had a spirit in heaven, they would have agreed to do so today."
The secret of Long Xu's saving of the entire Long family is too big, and Long Yun has no way to tell outsiders.
She could only reassure, "The old body will live a few more years and hold on until the day when the Long family has the separation grass again."
At this point, the use of separating grass is the final word.
......
On the day when Long Xu was sane, he heard that he had occupied the family's "separation grass", and he only felt that he was drinking head-on, and there was no way to raise his head again.
The descendants of the family were all sitting around her small bed at this time, Long Yan and Long Ran couldn't help but lie directly on the side of the bed and cry loudly, and the adults also silently squeezed their tears, and for a while everyone was mixed with emotion and guilt.
"Axu, it's the best thing that you can survive...... In the future, you can be happy and happy, and you don't need to bear any pressure anymore" Long Yun seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and her face that should have been young was wrinkled at this time, and her hair was full of flowers.
In the Starlight Continent, summoners and contractors have a longer lifespan and a longer lasting appearance than ordinary people, and Long Yun, as a nine-star powerhouse, is now in a state that is visible to the naked eye.
Long Xu, who had been closed by the ghost gate for a while, could no longer hold back her tears at this moment, like a real fifteen-year-old girl, leaning on Long Yun's arms and crying.
"Grandma!"
Long Xu used to call Long Yun "the head of the family", and at this most vulnerable moment, he couldn't help but call him confused.
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry!" Her crying voice whimpered, reviewing what she had done one by one, "In the past fifteen years, I have occupied all kinds of resources of the family, but in the end, I still disappointed everyone, not only failed to protect the glory of the family, but also dragged down so much......"
"How can you blame you for all this?! Obviously, you sacrificed yourself to save the whole family," Di Shengkai said excitedly.
Long Xu showed a bitter smile: "Little uncle, you don't have to comfort me... It all started because of me, and it should have ended with me, but fortunately it didn't turn out to be the worst, but I apologize for the appropriation of the separation grass," she opened her mouth, and for a moment she had lost all her pride, and could no longer speak.
If she was in the past, she would definitely pat her chest at this time and vow, "In the future, the Long family will have another separation grass."
But at this time, Long Xu, who was reduced to waste wood, no longer had any confidence.
Kang Xiao was on the side, he couldn't help but clench his fists, he resented this deformed world, she should have been the proud daughter of the sky, but because of her guilt, she was forced to become what she is now, such a thing... Many years ago, he also witnessed the tragic end of "that man".
Long Lie was leaning against the corner of the wall at this time, supported by Zhong Xuanyang, staring at the eldest sister who had escaped death.
But he couldn't say a word anymore, since the incident of Long Xu, his heart was like a fire, which lasted for a whole month, he didn't understand what these desperate gushing things were, but at this time, he encountered the coldest iron plate, and was blocked in his heart.
It's like a volcano that can't erupt.
Zhong Xuanyang said... This is something called "emotion", but unfortunately Long Lie doesn't seem to have it, so he can only struggle with himself in this posture, fighting with this non-existent thing.
At the same time, there is an important choice in front of Long Xu.
"Axu, there is one thing, you have to make a decision as soon as possible" Long Yun's face was slightly tired, "Although you have an S-level soul, there is no possibility of becoming a summoner, and the talent in the soul is useless...... There is only the path of the contractor in front of you."
Long Xu nodded stiffly, as if he knew what was going to happen.
"But your root bones originally had a C-grade, but now due to a serious injury to your vitality, you have been downgraded to F-level, and you are almost insulated from the contractor" This kind of situation is a complete ordinary person.
"But... The Separation Grass has an additional effect, which can be used for the repair of the weakened period, so your root bones will pick up slightly in a short period of time, as long as you seize the opportunity in the near future, you can become a contractor in one fell swoop, and your root bones will also have a chance to get better" She paused, "But as long as you miss this opportunity, the repair function of the Separation Grass cannot last forever in ordinary people, and you can only be an ordinary person forever"
To be a contractor, or to become a mortal.
With such a choice, it can be said that most people will not hesitate to become a contractor.
But this fell to Long Xu, who had resisted the "contractor" since he was a child, and it can be said that fate made people......
The path of the contractor may be a double torture for Long Xu, both mentally and physically, and she is afraid that she will once again step into a thorny path.
Now, the Long family will no longer exert any pressure on Long Xu, instead of the contractor's road to crawling, it is better to be an ordinary person, at least to be able to live peacefully and happily.
Long Xu closed her eyes, countless images flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but breathe rapidly.
Eventually, she said with all her might.
"Let me be an ordinary person"
