Chapter 1 Acceptance
This body is so wonderful, with clear lines, strong and without any fat 'flesh', every inch of skin is faintly shining with crystal light, and under those skins, in those muscles 'flesh', there is infinite power......
Rhaegar looked at the body in front of him that belonged to Cato with an almost eager gaze, and it was undeniable that in terms of the strength and strength of the 'flesh' body alone, this body had almost reached the limit of all intelligent beings except for the gods, and even his 'flesh' body that had been transformed by life energy could not be compared. If it weren't for the limitations of the laws of the universe that made him only use the body he first entered as his true sojourn, and the other bodies could only be temporarily resided, and the spells and gestures of most of the spells he currently mastered required human form to be used, and he was used to this 'flesh' body, this geist would probably choose to give up his current body without hesitation.
After destroying Cato's soul, Rhaegar did not abandon the beast, except that the pair of giant horns were used by him as evidence of victory over his opponent, whose body was collected by him in its entirety into the space of the Staff of Glory, and now, after successfully becoming the master of the God of the Storm, appeasing the mages with different thoughts, and taking Horen and his most trusted centaurs and his companions into the mage tower and placing them in important posts, the idle geist finally has time to dispose of his loot.
Rhaegar's gaze slowly swept over the creatures in front of him, living or dead: the twin demon 'hybrids' who had been bound to their freedom were still as cold as ice, and beside them, the stone men who had been magically hidden by the geyists into the space of the Staff of Glory were staring at him angrily, and Cato's lifeless corpse was lying in a corner far away from them.
This is a hall located on the top floor of the Mage Tower, in fact, there is only one room on the entire top floor, in the history of the Storm God, this has always been a place for the owners of the Mage Tower to practice and study, anyone who enters this place without permission will be punished severely, here, Rhaegar can do whatever he wants without being disturbed.
After a quick thought, Rhaegar finally decided to deal with the living captives first, and with a wave of his hand, a barrier enveloped the twin sisters, through which they could not see or hear anything outside, and the geist walked towards the stone man.
With a fiery gaze, Cana stared at Rhaegar approaching him, who had been slain countless times in the course of time if his gaze had any offensive power, and all fear of his fate had been replaced by even greater hatred in the stone man's heart.
"You hate me now," Rhaegar stopped a few meters away from Kanna, a distance where he could see the other person's face well without having to look up, "I know what it's for." He paused slightly, then uttered a name, "Sost Spring." ”
Cana's face changed abruptly at the hearing of the name, and before he could speak, Rhaegar had already said the answer he wanted, "You guessed it right, after defeating Villar, everything he had, including this precious spring, fell into my hands. ”
"Give me the spring water," said Kanna, the first thing he had said since he was captured, the stone man's face 'revealed' eagerness and eagerness, "Give me the spring water, and I can do anything for you." ”
"It's strange," Rhaegar didn't immediately respond to the other party's request, he looked at the giant stone man with interest, as if curious about it, "Although these springs from underground magma are extremely rare, and their greatest effect is to heal the damage caused by creatures like you, as far as I know, the origin of this spring water is in the megalithic realm. He stared into Karna's eyes puzzled, "I don't understand, why didn't you look there and come to the mortal world. ”
"It's none of your business!" Karna, looking rather agitated, roared loudly, completely oblivious to his captivity, "make your request, and I'll do it with all my might, and give me the spring!"
With a slight wave of his hand, the restraints on Karna's body suddenly tightened a little, and the invisible rope almost squeezed into the stone man's skin, which made him realize his current situation in time.
"I am the leader of the Kasaru tribe in the Boulder Realm," Kanna's tone was much calmer, "There are seventy stone men in my tribe, they are all the bravest warriors and nemesis of the mages, as long as you are willing to give me the spring water and let me bring it back to the Boulder Realm, I swear in the name of my ancestors, the Kasaru tribe will do any three things for you for free." ”
Rhaegar was well aware of the customs of the stone men, and was well aware that when a stone man swore in the name of his ancestors, there was no power that could make him break his oath, but the geist did not agree to Kanna's proposal.
"The problem is," Rhaegar said calmly, "I don't seem to need your help. "He summoned a black flame, and inadvertently sent a little spark flying out, and the spark swept through the air, and gently burst open a meter in front of Karna, and a small black 'hole' immediately appeared in front of the stone man's eyes, and then disappeared.
As the nemesis of the mage, Kana is not an amateur in magic, he is very aware of the terrifying power of that little bit of spark - just now, through that black 'hole', he clearly felt the breath from the boulder realm in his hometown, obviously, the explosion of Mars tore through the strong barrier between the spaces that is difficult for even a tenth-order *** master to tear apart with all his strength, this power is enough to wipe out hundreds of stone men like him, and this power is less than one thousandth of the flame in the mage in front of him.
"What do you want?" Karna asked in a dry voice after a while, the stone man was not stupid, he knew very well that if the other party had no intention of 'trading' with him, he would never waste time saying so much and making such a show.
"A tribe of seventy people is quite large in the Boulder Realm, you must know that the number of stone people in a group of family activities usually exceeds five or six. Rhaegar still didn't answer the other party's question, but said to himself: "For the leader of such a tribe, there is basically nothing that cannot be done in the Boulder Realm, and although the water of Sost Spring is scarce, it is by no means so small that even a person of such an identity cannot 'get' it. ”
"Well," Rhaegar could clearly see the bulging veins on Cana's face through the gray skin, which was extremely embarrassing for the stone people, "I admit that I'm not the leader of a tribe. The lying stone man exclaimed, "I am only the heir of the tribal leader—of course, in the past, and now I am just a fugitive from the Boulder Realm. ”
This was obviously not unexpected by Rhaegar's words, and he nodded slightly, "I'm glad you're finally willing to tell me the truth," the geist said, "Although I don't know much about the stone people of the Boulder Realm, the severance technique that this race only used when they were determined to break away from the original world will not escape my observation, and I believe that you must not want to have any contact with your hometown again, and you do not want the stone people to find you." ”
"But why would the heir of a great tribe do such a thing?" Rhaegar continued, "and, if I had given you the spring water just now, you would have sworn by your ancestors as you were told, but you obviously can't keep your promise, what could make a stone man who values his reputation above everything else willing to break his oath?"
Regar stared at Karna's eyes, and a terrifying light burst out of his eyes, "Your body is not hurt, now tell me, who is hurt?"
Karna's eyes widened as he looked directly at the mage in front of him, the feeling of everything hidden in front of him terrified him, but his intuition told him that if he refused to answer the question, he would never get the water from the Sost.
"It's Ruth, my fiancée," Canna's strength seemed to disappear in an instant, and he weakly answered the other's question, "She was badly injured in our escape from the Boulder Realm, and only the Sost Spring could save her." ”
Looking at the stone-man in front of him, who had lost all his fighting spirit, Rhaegar knew that he had achieved his first goal, and with his thoughts, the invisible rope that bound Kanna suddenly loosened.
"I know that the stone people have a unique way of carrying some important people or things with them," Rhaegar said to Karna, who was in a state of confusion because of his sudden move, "Now let your fiancée show up," he glanced at the stone man who had not yet reacted, "if you wish to save her." ”
The words brought back to Canna's senses, and he looked at Rhaegar in surprise, but he couldn't see the slightest revelation from the latter's expressionless face.
"You'd better move faster," Rhaegar said as if nonchalantly, "and I'm not sure if the springs will be of any use to her if they delay any longer." ”
As the heir of the tribe, Karna's mind was not as simple as it seemed, and in an instant, countless thoughts swirled through his mind, and in the end, the stone man chose to obey the other party - if this mage really wanted to do something against them, he could have captured him and kill him at the same time, and 'Ruth' would also die because he could not be healed, so there was no need to bother at all.
Glancing at Rhaegar again, Cana gently unfastened the stone armor on his body, and with great care, he tore open a piece of skin on his chest—behind it, not flesh, but a small black space—and then took out a small figure from it with more caution than he did for a peerless treasure, and placed her on the ground.
