Chapter 9: The Ten Seals
The same dreams were repeated over and over again, and he sank in a sea of blood, but he didn't know where these scenes came fromβfrom the memories he had lost?
Now all he remembers is the first time he walked out of the institute. His little hand was held by a warm hand, and he walked step by step out of the dark underground and into a dazzling sun. His eyes, because he hadn't seen sunlight for a long time, stretched out his palm to block it, and the edge of his palm was flesh red.
"What's your name?"
The warm voice beside him asked, and then the middle-aged man crouched down, and a loving face met his eyes. No matter then or today, that face is always full of smiles, he is the Chiyan City Lord who later adopted him as his adopted son: Yisheng.
"Black Feather. That was his answer at the time. The name was chosen by himself.
Who was he before that? The memory of the past was a blank slate.
Kurofa sighed softly, his thoughts wandering aimlessly in the quiet air.
"This birthmark should have been there since birth. After that, every once in a while, there would be a piercing pain in the birthmark......"
After the young black feather was brought home by Yi Sheng, the attacks of birthmarks became more and more frequent, and each time it became more controllable, and in the most serious cases, he would lose consciousness and go violent. At this time, Yi Sheng would tie him to a chain in the basement, otherwise Yi Xin would see it, until the pain and torture caused by the rampage was over.
But on that day, the city lord happened to be in the Divine Domain to participate in the alliance meeting held by the empire, and only Yi Xin was at home alone.
Kuroba still remembers that at that time, he could not help but go berserk. Yi Xin was only 10 years old that year, one year older than Hei Yu. He originally thought that such a little child would cry like his peers who were powerless, but he was wrong.
He saw that Yi Xin's eyes only flashed with a moment of surprise. It was more amazement than fear. Then, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
After that, Hei Yu couldn't remember anything at all because of his confusion. He only heard that after the Chiyan City Lord rushed back anxiously, it was not himself who struggled to stop him, but the crazy Yixin. He was pressed to the ground by Yi Xin and beaten hard, and was almost killed by him. That was the first time he had a fight with Yi Xin, and as a result, Black Feather was defeated.
Since then, Yi Sheng has left this flame-shaped seal on Black Feather's palm, sealing his dark power, leaving only a small part that can be freely invoked.
Yi Sheng said at the time:
"This seal is divided into ten layers, from one to ten, and with each liberation of the heavy, the strength will increase by a qualitative leap. If you want to harness all the dark power, you must first make yourself strong enough to match it. β
Since then, he has never gone berserk because he can't control a powerful force.
Therefore, Black Feather is determined to come to the magic academy and practice magic, and he also hopes to continuously improve himself and finally lift the shackles of these ten seals.
In addition, he also has a wish, which is to investigate the mystery of his life by the way. Who were his parents, and why did they have dark powers......
"Knock knock. β
A sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Before he could answer, the rough Ling Xiao tears had already kicked in the door, as if he had entered his own home.
"Hey, do you have any toothpaste to borrow...... By the way, borrow a little shampoo too...... I don't have time to work part-time to make money after I started school, and I guess my living expenses are going to bottom out again......"
With a toothbrush in her mouth, a water glass in her hand, pajamas and pajamas, and slippers on her feet, she walked in directly and turned into the bathroom next to the door. At first glance, I walked down from the girls' dormitory upstairs.
The dormitory building is at the front of the entire dormitory and is populated by first-year students. The dormitory has four floors, with boys living on the first and second floors and girls on the third and fourth floors. Kuroba was on the second floor, and from his window he could see an open playground, a tall main teacher, and a library and cafeteria at the back.
Hei Yu turned over and sat up, his feet hanging on the edge of the bed, he was no longer surprised by Ling Xiao's big grin.
There was a lively noise outside the half-open door, and the students who had finished their dinner in the cafeteria were returning one after another, the warm light shining through the cracks in the door, sometimes cut by the fast-moving figures.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the hallway.
"You, and you, follow me to the next room, a few of you, to the other side. β
No matter where it is, this voice seems to quickly become the focal point and leader in a crowd. Yes, it's Yi Xin. Next, together with the two first-year freshmen, he pushed the door and walked into Kuroba's room.
"Freshmen, in order to welcome you to the school, the academy has specially awarded you-"
He obviously didn't see the people in the room clearly, and when he came in, he spoke skillfully, and the words were round and enthusiastic, but he was suddenly surprised that the person sitting on the bed was actually Black Feather, and the sentence was cut in half. Then his eyelids drooped, he threw the badge on the ground, and said briefly:
"Badge, give. β
A silver badge reflected a bright light in the air, then landed on the ground and flicked it lightly, making a pleasant sound.
After speaking, Yi Xin turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly felt that his arm was firmly grasped by a hand stretched out from his right.
"Badges, do you have my share......"
Ling Xiao came out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth, and the foam of the toothpaste "gurgling" from the corners of her mouth as she spoke.
"Oh, over there in the girl's dormitory, I remember that it was a person named Lingmeng who was in charge of distributing ......" Yi Xin replied subconsciously, and then suddenly froze, looking at Ling Xiao with wide eyes and tears:
"You live together?"
"Poof-" Ling Xiao's mouthwash that he had just drunk squirted out, "You just live together." β
Yi Xin looked her up and down, this "pajama slippers" dress, what is it if it is not cohabitation, stretched out his hand and led the door and said:
"Excuse me. β
Hearing Reimu's name, Black Feather reacted with a spirit.
"Reimu, is that the great beauty of the Light Elf Clan?"
For beautiful women, he has always been unforgettable. Moreover, "Ling" was the surname of the Light Elf Clan, and he immediately thought of her.
"It turns out that the blonde beauty is called Reimu......"
Just by saying her name, Hei Yu felt a gust of fragrant wind float around him. After thinking about the beauty in my dream, I looked at the dark elf in front of me who was wearing loose pajamas, with flat chests, not convex in front and not curled in the back, and had an average appearance, and felt a sense of loss in my heart.
After repeated comparisons, I felt that the girl in front of me wanted to have no figure, no face, mainly because her skin was still as black as charcoal, and she couldn't help but sigh and shake her head. The idea of "changing teammates" came spontaneously.
Ling Xiaoxian seemed to see something from his strange eyes, his eyes turned into lanterns, and he said angrily:
"Black Feather, what do you want!" she looked down at herself, "I...... How can I make you sigh!"
"Oh, yes. β
Yi Xin, who had just gone out, suddenly remembered something and turned back.
