Chapter 10: Mourning
You! You guy! Yihao's anger suddenly surged out, but the figure of the Sea Demon did not appear in the darkness, and only an ethereal voice came.
"Don't impulse my half. You should have understood by now that we are different levels of the same soul and different times of life. Just as my knowledge is inherited by you, so will you bear the sins I have committed. ”
"Who wants those things!" Yihao roared loudly into the darkness.
"The process of personality fusion cannot be reversed, so you and I can't refuse......" The Mato's voice carried a faint emotion. I dedicated my entire life to the Supreme Alchemy, which allowed me to reach the top of the Big Four, and although I lost everything but that, I have no regrets, even now. ”
"You...... How far do you have to fall before you are willing! Get the hell out of here! Yi Hao took a step forward, stabbed his right hand into the darkness in front of him, and then pulled back, and caught the demons scattered in the sea of consciousness!
"You...... Your body ......" Yihao looked at the demon in surprise. Although he still looks like the cool silver man, he doesn't feel the slightest bit of flesh and blood, and it's like a phantom, as if it will disappear in the next second.
"When has your storage power reached this point...... "The Majin seemed to smile bitterly." My half-body, as if I could understand your anger, you should also be able to understand the joy of pursuing the highest alchemy, so let's stop arguing with each other, right? ”
"I don't want to argue either, but ......," Yihao's voice unconsciously became louder. You've got that little girl, Aya and Lilith. Something too much! ”
“…… I don't want to tell you that what you saw was not a complete dream when I had to tell you. The Majin explained in a faint voice. And think again, about your love for Aya and Lilith. Where did this affection come from......
"You...... What are you talking about......" Knowing the Majin's words, Yihao looked strongly shaken. "You're not...... Don't you use them as tools? ”
"That's right. They are my tools, tools that I can discard at any time to achieve my ends...... I've always thought this way, and I've been nurturing them in that direction, but I've neglected one important thing......," the Mato was silent for two or three seconds, and then spoke, with a bitter taste in his voice for the first time. "I forgot about it. The fact that he is human himself......"
"That's ...... What do you mean? Yihao asked with difficulty.
"No, nothing." The Majin shook his head. The voice turned cold. "Okay, that's it. I came out today just to remind you of what you have forgotten......"
"What I forgot...... What is that? Yihao asked. And now I can't use my magic at all, and the Chaos Egg doesn't respond. Do you know what the reason for this is? ”
"It's natural that you can't use magic, because you don't have magic in the first place." The demon asserted this, and Yihao couldn't find the words to refute it for a while. "The reason why you were able to perform supreme alchemy in the past. It is all supported by the Heaven Tribulation Spirit Source that lives in the Egg of Chaos. Originally, most of the spiritual source had already been consumed when refining Thor's Hammer, and in the process of the ice condensation forced landing, you even consumed the remaining spiritual source, so the Chaos Egg was also locked. ”
"Is there any way to get it back on?" Yihao asked with a frown.
"Yes, when you have the power of earth mana, it will activate the Chaos Egg, and that's really what I want to warn you of." The Majin said simply. "The most basic alchemy is the alchemy of matter and matter, and you forgot this most basic law because you stood at the peak of supreme alchemy from the beginning...... If you want to return to the pinnacle of supreme alchemy, start from scratch, so that the knowledge you inherit can truly become your own strength. ”
As he spoke, the demon stretched out his hand, a ring condensed from the darkness into a ring, the surface of which shimmered with brilliance, and the inside was engraved with short runes. "This is the contract ring I used in the past, of course, now it is only stored in the form of a spirit child, and there is still a little magic left on it, it can temporarily provide you with a little magic power, but it is only a little less Cheng dù with a little bit of it...... If you want to get more magic, make a contract with the demon, you should already know about it, so you don't need me to teach you anymore. ”
"You...... Why do you want to help me so much? Yihao hesitated to take the ring, and couldn't help but be confused.
"The balance of the storage zài is tilting sharply in your direction, and the personality fusion will be completed soon......" The Mato looked at the phantom hands and shook his head slightly. No, maybe it can't be called fusion, as you can see, the original balance has collapsed, and the personality named Dacles is being swallowed up by the personality called Tie Yihao. In other words, you will not be harmed, and I will not be able to save zài. ”
"Yes...... Is that so......" It felt like watching his other self die, and Yihao's heart welled up with wonderful sadness. "Could it be...... Is there nothing to stop it? ”
Noticing Yihao's expression, the demon seemed to smile bitterly. "There is no need to show such an expression, no matter where the law of the jungle is, it is an absolute law, if we change positions, I will never pity you...... Hehe, speaking of which, this is probably the biggest difference between us, you have the strength of the strong and at the same time can understand the feelings of the weak, so you didn't repeat my path, lost in the pursuit of power......"
"That's because I'm an ordinary person......" explained Yihao, who wasn't used to receiving praise from demons.
"Don't underestimate yourself, you do have something that we don't have...... I've never regretted my choice, but if I had to choose it all over now, I might have taken a different path......"
Speaking of which, the demon quietly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a faint voice.
"Say goodbye next time we meet, my half-body ......"
……………………
Yihao left the Sea of Consciousness with the feeling of mourning his friend, and when he returned to reality, it was close to noon. Staring at the ring finger of his right hand. Although there was nothing in the eyes of others, he could see a flicker in his eyes
The rings exude a faint fluctuation of magical power, but it is still not enough for alchemy.
"The Four Great Powers of Supreme Alchemy......" Yihao looked at his right hand. Then he slowly clenched his fists. It may seem strange to think so, but he decided to continue with the Supreme Alchemy. Relying on his own strength, he once again stepped into the four realms, as a proof that Dacles had existed, although this was definitely not an easy task.
At that moment, there was the sound of footsteps at the stairs, and Yihao turned his head to look, and Camilla quickly appeared in his vision—even with the scorching sun overhead. The silver lady was still wearing a scarlet waitress uniform, but there was no trace of sweat on her face. Yihao thought to himself that she really deserved the nickname "Camilla of Ice".
"Sir" Camilla bowed to Yihao. "Lunch is ready, Miss, come and let me take you down to use it...... Hey? Suddenly raising her head, she fixed her gaze on the position of the ring finger of her right hand on Yihaodi's body. The only contract ring that survived in the soul of Yihao was not reflected in the material world at all.
"Are you going to start lunch?" Yihao who asked like this. Inadvertently, he hid his right hand behind him.
"Yes...... Yes, please follow me. Camilla seemed to react, bowed her head again, and when she raised her head, she had already recovered an indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened, and led Yihao towards the cabin restaurant.
The yacht, named Daphne, is quite luxurious, with five elevators in the three-storey cabin, and a restaurant, bath, cabaret hall, sports grounds, underwater observation decks and even a conservatory garden.
The corridor leading to the restaurant is dotted with green leaves and flowers, and a pair of statues of the goddess of beauty are erected every five meters on the left and right, standing or lying in different postures, walking all the way to feel like walking in the palace of the king of Persia, and for this luxury, Yihao can only sigh to the sky.
At the same time, a question quietly arose in his mind.
"Here we are." Before he could ask, Camilla, who was leading the way in front of him, had already stopped, and the two maids in classical costumes opened the door of the restaurant, and for some reason, Yihao inexplicably gave birth to a sense of déjà vu, maybe it was because of the memories inherited from the demons, right?
The restaurant is located on the first floor of the inner cabin, and there are quite a few colored windows at the top, and the light from the sun is projected into the dining room through these different colored glasses, printing a colored carpet of light on the floor, which is amazing and skillful, but Yihao has given up the idea of guessing the cost of this thing.
The light carpet stretched to the table, and it seemed that Anika had been waiting there for some time, and at this moment she had changed into a formal dress, but the design of the dress was more neutral, giving the impression of emphasizing the majesty of the wearer rather than highlighting the femininity. Seeing this completely different, Anika Yihao unconsciously recalled Tie Lanlai, and always felt that the two were very similar.
"You're five minutes late, sir, a gentleman shouldn't keep women waiting." Anika looked at Yihao with a seemingly unpleasant gaze, who couldn't help but be stunned, but then she smiled, and it was clearly just a joke.
"That being said, this is not a formal invitation, and when I arrive in Paris, I will formally entertain you as a guest at the Balumina family, and before that......," Anika gestured gracefully. Sir, you can enjoy as much as my friend! ”
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Anika." Yihao returned the favor and sat down in his seat.
After Anika also sat down, the dishes were served to the table like an assembly line, and Yihao also noticed that the dishes were served by young and beautiful women, and among them, the girls who served Anika were particularly outstanding. A beautiful waitress placed a food vessel in front of Yihao and poured red wine into a crystal cup.
"It's like the Emperor's Palace," Yihao broke the silence and raised his glass to Anika. "But what surprised me was that it wasn't the emperor who sat on the throne, but the empress."
"Thank you for the compliment." Anika raised her glass and took a sip of red wine in response. "But I'm a little surprised, I deliberately set up a formal banquet and thought you would be a little more cramped, did you often participate in this kind of social gathering in the past? Mr. ”
"I have been treated with the most dignity in the world," Yihao declared, not a bluff, after all, there are probably fewer people who have been treated by the gods since ancient times, and perhaps he is the only one. "But it's really the first time on this occasion, so if there is any rudeness, please bear with the eldest lady."
"No, I don't think it's necessary." Anika looked at Yihao, her eyes flashed with amusement, compared to just now, this man was like a different person, the easy, calm attitude, and the graceful movement of using knives and forks really made it hard to believe his statement.
"May I ask a question?" Anika asked in a voice of pure curiosity as she put down her glass. "What did you just say, 'the most honorable treatment in the world', tell me what it is? I was curious. ”
"That'......," Yihao raised his glass to Anika apologetically. Secret. ”
"I've heard Jiang Shui talk about you, but from my impression, he doesn't know you completely?" Anika didn't think so, but asked with great interest. "Can you sue me, who the hell are you?"
"I'm Jiang Shui's friend Tie Yihao." Yihao replied that a similar scene had been staged not long ago, but this time the two seemed to have taken opposite positions. "Miss Anika I've already answered your question, can you allow me to ask a question?"
"Of course." Anika nodded, looking expectant.
"Actually, I've been aware of the ...... on this yacht since just now," Yihao paused slightly. It seems that there are no other men? ”
"Well, that's right, the crew of 'Daphne', from chief engineer to head chef, are all women." Anika didn't hide it at all, and looked at Yihao and said this. "As for you, sir, it's the second man to set foot on it since its birth, and it's an honor, right?"
"I'm deeply honored...... Yihao lowered his head and hid his stunned expression in the shadows.
