"I need to confirm one thing first."

Merlin said to Liana in front of her:

"If you dare to be here at midnight, it means that Belakis doesn't know everything about what is happening on this land, right?"

"Indeed."

Liana nodded, and she said calmly:

"Hell Frontier isn't as big as a whole world, but it's definitely not as small as you think. Belakis was exiled here, and it was accepted by the land only because it had been here long enough, and it never wanted to stay here forever. ”

The girl wrapped in a black cloak said in a sarcastic voice:

"It has always dreamed of gaining new powers, and then returning to Hell in a glorious manner, trampling under the feet of the Lords of Hell who had expelled it in the first place."

"It has never liked this land, it just borrows its power purely, so as soon as another person related to the Hell Border takes control of the Hell Border from it, this land will start to rebel..."

"You're talking about you?"

Merlin stroked the cooing fur in his arms, and he said in a calm tone:

"You're going to take its territory from the demon? Are you sure? ”

"Who is 100% sure of this kind of thing?"

Liana said impatiently:

"I still have a lot of work to do to fight Belakis with the power of the Hell's Border, and you can't help it, so let's talk about the part you can help with."

This hairy girl with a somewhat irritable personality pointed to her chest, and she said:

"I see my soul, and as you say, the filled chaos has left my soul one step away from being out of balance. Until this tricky matter is resolved, it's hard for me to calm down and act with that old bastard of Belakos. ”

She looked at Merlin, with an undisguised worry and longing in her eyes, and she said:

"When you left before, you told me that if I made up my mind, you would help me, so I'm curious, how can you help me?"

"There's no rush for now, I still have some things to know."

Merlin stroked the emerald ring on his left index finger and said:

"To find the right answer, you have to ask the right questions, and in the current situation, I want to know, do you know now, what method is Belakis using to tie you to the will of the ancient gods?"

"It's a ritual, if I'm not mistaken."

Liana frowned and said:

"I was brought here by Belakos more than a decade ago, when I was just a 6-year-old child, just awakened to my abilities, but my body was too weak to even adapt to the environment on the border of hell. That old bastard made me a manor that resembled the earth's environment, and taught me like a mentor and taught me the dark arts. ”

"It tells me that my potential is strong, but I have to go through rigorous training to fully develop it. For the first 5 years of my life at the Frontier of Hell, I continued to learn all kinds of magical knowledge until I got used to the environment here, and the demon prepared a ritual. ”

"It tells me that it is a ritual to connect with the Great Being and to gain knowledge from it. I was young at the time, and there was indeed such a ritual recorded in the magic books, so I didn't doubt it. ”

Liana let out a sneer:

"Now that I think about it, that should have been the beginning of how it polluted my soul."

"That ritual split your soul?"

Merlin asked:

"How did you feel? Give me a detailed description of that ritual. ”

"It's very uncomfortable, it hurts."

Liana touched her head and said:

"I felt like I was torn apart from my body, and a lot of knowledge, those forbidden knowledge, poured into my mind, like a stream of water filling a bucket, even overflowing."

"As for the ritual, it was a very simple ritual."

Liana stretched out her hand, and a cloud of magic quickly converged into a strange pattern in her hand, like an eye, an eye hidden in the darkness between the waves of tentacles.

"It painted this pattern with blood, then lit candles around it, and recited it in a language that I still can't understand, and it kept me in the circle of patterns and emptied my mind."

I did so, and after a few minutes of waiting, I felt an invisible door open in front of my eyes... On the other side of the door, there is a huge, mountain-like consciousness, and it's hard for me to describe the feeling of seeing it. ”

Liana frowned and described Merlin:

"It's like if you look at the sea in front of you, under the dark stars, a giant beast waving tentacles suddenly emerges in the quiet sea, you stare at it, it stares at you, it may not be malicious, but you will instinctively feel fear, especially at the moment when the consciousness of the two sides comes into contact, your soul seems to be standing under a lonely and indifferent mountain."

"You're so small, it's so big... It will make you feel the urge to worship it. ”

"But that's just an illusion."

Liana reached out and brushed the bangs in front of her forehead, and she said:

"It doesn't care about you at all, no matter what you do, no matter what you pray, it just looks at it so indifferently until you really get it interested."

Mao Mei sighed, she said:

"This was the only time I had contact with it, it was a ridiculous scene, but now that I think about it, there may be something in it that I overlooked."

"Your tone is also abnormal."

Merlin reminded:

"I don't think a normal person would be so hungry for the attention of unknown spirits. You have been affected by it, Liana, your will has begun to yield to the ancient evil god, and most of all, you are not aware of it, you feel that you are normal. ”

He frowned and said:

"It seems that the problem is more serious than we thought. But it's not without good news. ”

Merlin Says:

"Belakis needs you to become the vessel of the ancient gods, but the arrival of the evil god requires the container itself to have no resistance to succeed, it uses deception to stabilize you, cut your soul, and pollute you little by little, probably because of this reason."

"This means that as long as you remain vigilant without arousing the suspicion of Belakis, the power of the Ancient Evil God will grow slower in your soul."

"You still have time."

"This."

Merlin removed the emerald ring from his finger, which he threw to Liana, and said:

"Take it, it has a memory sealed inside, it should help you."

"How?"

Liana took the ring, and she asked:

"How does it work?"

"I asked a professional and her advice was that if your soul is polluted, you might as well 'cut it' off. ”

Merlin Says:

"Since the nature of your existence has begun to favor demonic creatures, and your soul has already been split by that ritual, this unreliable-sounding method should work for you."

"You mean, let me cut off two parts of my soul that have been tainted?"

Liana looked at the ring in her hand, and she asked with a little headache:

"Isn't there a gentler way?"

"Even if a demon has its soul cut off, there will be all kinds of symptoms, not to mention that I am not a pure demon yet, and the lack of soul will cause me a lot of trouble, and my will may be unstable because of this. And I've made up my mind to kill Belakos, and cutting open my soul at this time will make me very weak. ”

"So you're going to find the perfect point in time."

Merlin Says:

"I might be able to help with that, and I might be able to lure Belakis away at the right time and create opportunities for you."

"But if you need my help, you will owe me a favor again, and with the method of soul cutting, you will owe me two favors. Liana, my favor is not cheap. ”

His tone became playful, and he said:

"How are you going to repay me?"

"Make a request!"

Liana put away the ring in her hand, she looked at Merlin, and said a little flirtatiously:

"As long as I can do it, even if it's a bedtime, it's not impossible..."

"You?"

Merlin glanced at Liana, who shook his head:

"I'm not interested in a naïve girl like you."

His face became a little more serious, and he said:

"I need some magical artifacts, some items with great power, whether it is dark magic or divine power, if you can get enough strange things to give me, I may consider forgiving some of your 'debts'."

"Of course, if it is knowledge in hell, those black magic used by Belakis can also be exchanged, but strange things are necessary."

"You're waiting here!"

Liana said a word to Merlin, then stepped into the dark red light of the teleportation, and after a few minutes, she returned to Merlin with a black bag, which she tossed to Merlin.

The latter took it in his hand, and found that the bag contained a dozen items that exuded the aura of black magic, most of them were pendants, and a few things like armor. Among these infernal wonders are several books that exude dark magic.

"That's enough, right?"

Liana crossed her arms and said to Merlin:

"If that's not enough, you can wait a little longer, and I'll find a way to get some more out of Belakos' treasury."

"Well, that's enough to pay off the debts of the soul cut."

Merlin took the bag in his hand, and said to Liana:

"If you need help, that's not enough... Far from enough. ”

"You're so greedy!"

Liana snorted coldly:

"I don't know much about the wizards of Earth, but these things are valuable in any magical dimension."

Liana's statement made Merlin laugh, and he said earnestly:

"Kid... You're asking me to help you deal with a Hell Lord, and that's not something you can just mess with. If I'm going to help you, I'm risking being killed. ”

"Life is priceless, whether it's yours or mine."

Merlin lifted his pocket, and he said to Liana:

"Do you want to hire me to help you fight with such a small thing? Do you think it's appropriate? ”

Liana didn't argue any more, she just stood there, looking at Merlin quietly, and after a moment she said:

"Belakis is the lord of the borders of hell, this hellish place is barren, but it is a complete dimension after all, that demon has been here for many years, and its treasure trove has many valuable collections... If you and your friends can help me get free and control this land, then everything in that treasure trove is yours. ”

"That's pretty much it."

Merlin nodded reservedly, and he said:

"Look for an opportunity first, and if you make up your mind, then send a little demon to smuggle into the world to find me. Also, I'm a little curious, what are you going to do after you expel or kill Belakos? And also... What are you going to do with Piot, your brother? ”

"The land longs for a master who will not dislike it."

Liana crouched down and stroked the barren ground, and she said:

"I've lived here for more than a decade, and under the guidance of Belakos, I've also developed a connection with the borders of hell... I know what this land craves, so after taking out the bastard old demon, I'll take over its legacy. ”

"I'll be the queen of the borders of hell!"

A glint appeared on the face of the slightly green Mao Mei, and she said:

"I've learned a lot of things here, the weak can't survive in hell, and since I've become a demon, then I have to take every opportunity to make myself strong and become a queen, it's just the first step."

"As for Piot..."

Liana sighed, and she said:

"I hurt him, even though I can tell myself it's all Belakos' fault, I hurt him. I don't want to think about these things now, it will distract me, so what I should do with my brother's affairs will be left until after I am crowned on this land. ”

"Hmm."

Merlin held the cat, he took a step back, leaned slightly to Liana, and said:

"Well, then, I'm waiting for your news, the future of Hellborder... Her Majesty. ”

PS：
