Chapter 223: Growth

The hand that reached out trembled like an old man on the verge of death, and the folds of the skin on it were dull and yellow, revealing a kind of depletion that had lost its vitality. 「」

The moment the fingertips touched, the originally coiled emerald green moved, and two soft whiskers wrapped around her fingertips.

After a pause of two beats, Titi slowly wrapped herself up.

The slow movements were a little hesitant, like a child waking up from a sound sleep, with a little ignorance, curling upturned dull hair.

The feeling of being connected by blood was a little stronger, and Lin An put his heart at ease, and his heart couldn't help but soften.

“…… Titi, green green for me. ”

She said in her spirit that her weak mental strength seemed weak.

Titi slowed down three beats, and a bright green appeared on the branches, and a faint green light slowly transmitted in from the place where Lin An's finger touched Titi.

A warm current flowed into the body, as if soaking in warm spring water, and every cell in the body seemed to breathe and absorb hungrily, and the dead flesh was reborn, expelling black and red blood clots and dirt.

The surface of the old wrinkled skin was gradually covered with a layer of black, but Lin An felt that the shriveled body was gradually enriched, the depleted body was reborn, and a little body and spiritual power returned to her body.

Although the damage to her body from elemental erosion could not be removed, some of her physical and mental power, coupled with the abundant magic power in the magic pool, would at least not make her powerless to fight back against outsiders. 「」

With the support of the forces of nature, there is no need to worry about the physical damage continuing to deteriorate.

"Wow!"

Lin An spit out a mouthful of black blood, and there were black and red bruises in the blood.

Her whole body was sticky, and the surface of her skin smelled fishy. It is the corpse of cells in the organs and body that are completely dead and cannot be repaired, and are automatically excreted from the body by the body.

When it is shifting in a good direction. Without warning, the force of nature stopped entering.

Lin An was taken aback.

"Titi?"

“…… Quiet. ”

After a while, there was a hesitant response from the other side of the spirit, hesitation with temptation, and some extremely subtle and complex emotions mixed in, which seemed to be strange, like longing and yearning, and seemed to hide fear, worry, and anxiety......

Many of the feelings were conveyed by a somewhat thin contract, which was so complicated that Lin An couldn't tell for a while.

This time, Lin An was sure that something had really happened to Titi.

Titi's IQ has clearly evolved. "In the past, it was extremely simple, like a one- or two-year-old child. Except for simple emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, hunger, and liking, it will not express such complex emotions at all, and obviously have more complex thinking skills.

When did Titi change?

Why is there a change?

Could it be that Lulu raised her eyebrows and took advantage of her unnoticed hands?

Lin An's thoughts were a little confused, his brows were tense and sometimes loose, surprised and a little uneasy at the same time, and he even ignored his own situation.

Titi is her last most trusted companion, and even if she has a deep friendship like Andrei, there may be times when she has to do so due to her identity or other reasons, even if she is valued. But Andre has a mentor and Shiryl after all. She won't be the only irreplaceable person in Andrei's mind.

But Titi, who was nurtured by her flesh and blood, who was connected to her spirit, who would only rely on and be close to her, would never betray or hurt her, and her place in its mind was unique and irreplaceable. It also has an irreplaceable place in her heart, and it is her most credible and personal last line of defense.

Lin An knew that if the guards let her leave the Tower of Babel so easily, there must be other ways to influence her, and it was impossible to let go completely.

Lin An didn't doubt that they had such abilities, and it was okay to make some compromises with her acquiescence, even when Lulu had attached the manzhu sawa to her arm without her consent before leaving, she was not very angry after making sure that she had not hurt herself. 「」

But Lin An will never allow them to violate her bottom line!

Thinking that Titi used to always pestered her affectionately, she would always respond excitedly when she called, and spoiled her like a child in the curtain, and kept saying "...... Ann...... Hungry ...... Eat ...... - and compare the hesitation and hesitation of Titi just now, Lin An couldn't ignore these anomalies.

“…… Don't let me know you've done something to! ”

Lin An's eyes flashed with coldness, and he carefully felt the connection in his spirit, making sure that the stability of the contract had not been shaken, and the feeling of blood connection was still clear, so he relaxed slightly.

“…… Quiet? ”

The hesitant and faint call in his spirit brought Lin An back to his senses.

"Titi, what's wrong?"

Unsure of how far Tity's intelligence had evolved and whether she could understand her, she asked again, "Does Titi hurt?" ”

"--No, it hurts,......" the spiritual voice replied slowly, and then tentatively called again, "Ann? ”

"Huh?"

Hesitantly, he called again, "...... Quiet? ”

“…… Well. 「」”

Repeat again, "...... Quiet. ”

“…… Well? "- What's wrong with this kid?

"Ann." The tone was a little affirmative.

“……”

"Ann!" A little excited.

“……”

……

“…… Quiet? ”“…… Quiet. "Ann!" …… More than a dozen times in a row, Titi kept screaming over and over again, in different tones, like a child learning to speak to a learning machine.

Lin An never knew his single name, and he could also use various tones such as excitement, hesitation, and excitement to call out so many tones of intonation and frustration.

made Lin An cry and laugh, but his heart was a little more steady:

This kind of thing can only be done by Titi, just like a babbling child, after her intelligence has increased greatly, Titi can also instinctively use the object she is most familiar with and trust to learn the language and be familiar with her own changes.

Regardless of whether Titi's changes were caused by the Warden's guidance or not, at least, Titi still relied only on her Titi. 「」

Lin An, who came to this conclusion, put his mind at ease and hurriedly asked Titi if she knew what had happened and where the forces of nature had gone.

"There's a black 'delicious' and it's bad! Grab Titi! Titi stumbled to describe. Every now and then stop, "Titi bites it...... Eat! Titi was well fed. Grow up and sleep ...... Green green is gone! is big - is big! ”

Titi's coherence in her speech has increased significantly, but her vocabulary is small, so that the description is confusing, and the words are patched together, but it does not prevent her from expressing excitement and triumphantly showing off to her, as if she has restored its original simplicity.

But Lin An always felt that something was wrong, although Titi's affection and intellectual expression had increased a lot. But apparently it can't be compared to the complexity of the previous encounters with it.

At that time, it was like a mature adult, with the ability to think completely and independently. The expression of emotions is very complicated, and now it is like a seven or eight-year-old child with complete intellectual development, although he has the ability to think, but the three views have not been fully established, he cannot think independently, and he needs the guidance and guidance of outsiders.

Lin An felt very strange, but he didn't think of anything else.

After all, Titi's contract with herself is still intact, albeit with some dilution. But this should be the after-effect of rapid growth.

Because when Kronos first asked her to choose the direction of Titi's growth. Lin An knew that absorbing the flesh and soul power of living creatures at the same time would make Titi develop in the direction of demonization. The temperament will be more aggressive, and this aggression may gradually get out of control.

But there should be no problems with Titi's soul core, and it has not been replaced, but something has happened, so her intelligence has increased a lot, and she may be about to enter the second half of her growth period......

This is analysed from Titi's words.

Judging from the description of Titi's words, it seems that when she didn't know, Titi absorbed a lot of soul power from a "black and black" somehow, and then it seemed that the soul power was too large and sufficient, causing it to passively evolve and jump into the late growth stage.

And the absorbed soul power and the natural power stored before were also consumed due to the supply of its growth, so the remaining natural power was only enough to supply Lin An so little.

As for where that "black one" came from, how Titi absorbed it, and what happened during this period, Lin An couldn't guess.

She wondered if Titi had been fed something strange in the Tower of Babel, such as a spirit creature or a ghost with a powerful soul power, and it seemed that the other party still had consciousness and resisted Titi for a while with her powerful soul power, but she was finally defeated by Titi and absorbed.

Lin An asked Titi some more questions, trying to find out the cause and effect of the matter.

But Titi couldn't figure out what was going on in the outside world at all:

The plant habit makes it usually dormant most of the time, and it will only wake up when Lin An calls it, and its division of time in the past is only when Lin An is by her side and when she is not by her side-

And when Lin An was brought into reincarnation in the Tower of Babel, although it left Lin An, the guards did not let it wake up at that time, so it was unconscious.

Lin An and Titi talked for a long time, and Titi's words became more and more fluent and smooth, but Lin An didn't get more useful things, and was always pulled by Titi to other places.

But Lin An didn't have any doubts.

Even if Titi suddenly grows up and begins to have an independent consciousness, it has not experienced anything, let alone any other secrets, and has to deliberately hide it from her.

After making sure that Titi was okay, Lin An put his mind at ease and turned his attention back to himself.

The lack of natural power has deprived her of the optimal way to recover, and without the power of nature to make up for the damage to her body, the elemental damage will bring more damage to her body if it remains in her body for a day.

Many mages just didn't completely eliminate the elemental erosion in their bodies and make up for the dark injuries in their bodies, so that their physique gradually declined and became weak.

But Lin An couldn't blame Titi, after all, this evolution was not what it wanted, and it had to blame the old immortals in the Tower of Babel who fed without authorization.

"It's a bit of a hassle to recover now." Lin An sighed secretly.

She told Titi to guard the doorway, and to kill any living creature who tried to enter.

Titi blinked and disappeared from her hand, too fast to catch with the naked eye.

"The child has grown up and become more and more independent."

--Unless she was eating something "delicious", she would always reluctantly pestering and procrastinating to do anything to get it out of her side, but now she is obviously much more sensible.

Lin An sighed, but didn't notice that in the place where she couldn't see, Titi was quietly dormant, and a faint dark purple light flowed under the surface of the emerald green vines.
