Chapter 61: Roddy
"Click"
There was a slight cracking sound, and a fine crack appeared in the eggshell.
"Click, click"
The cracking sound was one after another, and the one-meter-high giant egg suddenly exploded with a "bang", and the vast white mist and frozen debris were blocked by an enchantment before they could disperse.
Glazer was reaching out to maintain a cube barrier surrounded by transparent water curtains on all six sides, absorbing white mist and ice ballast, and a naked adult man was trapped inside.
The man looked like an elf, with black hair and a shawl, long pointed ears, and a face full of pain. A pair of tattered wings stretched out from its back, and a few pitiful feathers and a large piece of blood-colored mucosa hung on the broken skeleton, but there were still remnants of the characteristics of the carrion, or it was indeed evolving in the direction of the blood feather black.
Judging from Lucy's almost speechless performance, it was her brother who was right.
"Is that cool?" Mu Yan muttered, he suddenly felt that Luo Di's current style was so stylish......
"Don't be poor, try to communicate with him." Teacher Zha frowned, "I feel that the soul in his body is extremely unstable, and if he makes a rash move, it may cause bad results, so it is best to arouse his master's personality." β
Mu Yan looked at Lucy and gave the girl an encouraging look.
The elf nodded, his gaze firmly in front of Roddy.
"Brotherβ"
"Ahhhhh
Roddy let out a series of roars of pain, and he curled up in a ball with his head in his hands, colliding back and forth in the water curtain cage, which from the outside looked like the surface of the cage was constantly bulging.
"Brother...... I'm Lucy, do you remember me? β
Lucy lay on the water curtain and shouted hard, the sadness of her voice made people empathize.
Lucy ...... Lucy...... Are you Lucy? β
The elf struggled to raise his head, staring blankly in front of him, "I seem...... Remember the name...... Help me...... I'm going to be able to do it...... Madness is about to consume me...... Help me......"
"Brother......
Lucy looked around helplessly, "Please save him, let him out, he needs me ......"
Mu Yan thought about it, pulled out a sleeping guy from his sleeve, and shook his tail with his tail.
"Hey, Smaug, the reward I promised you a long time ago has arrived."
The dragon that had been sleeping suddenly woke up, or the word "reward" alarmed him.
"Where? Where? β
Mu Yan pointed at Teacher Zha, "Mr. Damian in the last story, he is alive, you can ask him anything you want, but before that, help me get this guy." β
He pointed at Roddy, and Smaug's amber eyes showed surprise.
"It's a strange food, it's a ...... with a filling"
Suddenly in a state of great fear, Roddy curled up in the corner of the cube, as far away from Smaug as he could, like a mouse that had seen a cat.
He still retains the personality and nature of the "Warcraft", and his fear of dragons is engraved in his bones.
"Raan-Mir-Tah"
A dragon roar erupted from Smaug's mouth, and a faint golden ripple pierced through the curtain of water, absorbed by the terrified Roddy, who gradually relaxed his body and closed his eyes in a curled position.
Although his ability weakened along with his body, he was still good at things that penetrated deep into the soul like Long Wei, and [Animal Pacification] was probably Smaug's last dignity as a dragon.
"I'm done!"
Smaug flicked his tail excitedly, then flew up to Mr. Zha, and jumped back and forth around him.
Teacher Zha glanced helplessly at Mu Yan, who was busy coming forward to observe Luo Di and had no time to take care of him.
Glazer glanced at Smaug and pondered the spell he had just spoken, and he became more and more suspicious that it was the dragon language he had little access to.
The average mage has little contact with dragon language, and the reason is simple, the few syllables in dragon language have evolved and derived in Kragon, just like Latin and English, similar but completely different, and it is easy to use them incorrectly. For mages who use magic nets, a mistake in a spell means that the magic is paid for nothing, so few people study it except for scholars and a few academic mages.
Mu Yan's hand passed through the water curtain, and his fingertips lightly touched Luo Di's forehead, rippling with a circle of silver-gray light.
This is a "mind reading" technique similar to "mind loss", but unlike "soul searching" and "mind stealing", it will not cause soul damage to those who have no resistance, because the damage is taken by the caster. When Heru was first tracked down by Tom and Jerry, he had used a similar spell and it was costly, but now he was strong enough to ignore the damage.
Luo Di's memory was extremely confused, and Mu Yan frowned when he read it. Most of them are devoured by the Rotten Blood: there are adventurers who have strayed into the Dusk Swamp, there are low-level monsters, and even some belong to McTarron's...... He searched for a long time but couldn't find anything related to Roddy.
After a long time, Mu Yan pulled out a string of silver-gray things from Luo Di's temple, and he decided to use the "Heartless Technique" to remove these bad memories and reduce some of the burden on him.
After doing all this, Rao is Mu Yan also felt a little difficult, he had to switch positions with Glazer, and he controlled the enchantment, and the latter then eliminated.
It took the two of them nearly four hours to clear out all the mixed memories that the carrion had inherited from the food.
However, they still failed to find Roddy's personality.
"Forget it, at least he won't be in pain this way, maybe it would be better for Lucy to wake him up slowly." Mu Yan said.
The other two felt that this was the only way to do it, so they closed the enchantment.
Lucy carried her brother behind her back, bowed deeply to the three of them, and left silently.
β¦β¦
Three days later, Roddy's condition has improved significantly.
At first he woke up in a daze, but as Lucy kept talking to him and helping him remember what had happened, he seemed to gradually recover.
He began to speak the lingua franca like a normal elf.
- It's all too normal, the Elf language is too formal, and because of the popularity of the lingua franca throughout Lokan, it has conquered the haughty elves.
and to be arrogant and polite to everyone, although Lucy insists that he should not do so.
- This is too normal, after all, where are the humble elves?
Still angry at every turn.
- It's literal, Amacer says he's more like a real elf than himself.
This process is constantly accompanied by intermittent headaches, and every time Mu Yan uses the "Heartless Technique" to help him delete some regenerated memories, which seems to be related to battles, with some magical beasts, or with some mercenaries.
Lucy accompanies his brother every day, not an inch apart, the relationship between the two is not like the average brother and sister, but Amacer privately tells Mu Yan a bad habit about elves - if this is at all.
Because elves are sparsely populated and have long lives, the ethics are very weak - it is common for siblings who look close to each other to marry, except that before that they go on their own, take on a new surname, and then form a family like strangers to have offspring.
Mu Yan thinks about it, for most elves, there are not many people who can open their hearts in their lives (for example, Amacer knew three elves in his more than sixty years of study in Sulama...... ), but relatives have an innate advantage in blood relations. For example, in Lucy's opinion, there may not be many people in Silvermoon City who are better than Roddy, after all, the latter has taken care of her for more than a hundred years, can someone else do this without purpose?
But this is just speculation after all, it's just that Lucy's performance is too abnormal, and people can't help but want to be crooked.
On the fourth day, Roddy was almost back to normal, and he apologized and thanked them one by one by Lucy's company. Mu Yan said that it had nothing to do with him, and it was also Xie Smaug to thank him, but the appearance of the dragon scared Luo Di a lot, and Mu Yan had to stuff him back into his sleeve.
β¦β¦
On the night of the fourth day, Kazeno was wrapped in the "night" created by the legendary mage with the elements, and it was pitch black all around, except for the little light of fireflies.
Near Lucy's treehouse, a pool of black liquid wriggled through the crack in the door and crept towards the base of her bed.
The girl was sleeping soundly, and a figure suddenly rose beside the bed, stretching out her slender right hand, and a blood-colored bone spur three centimeters long poked out from her fingertips, which was about to pierce the back of the girl's neck.
At that moment, two snow-white short swords, one on the left and one on the right, rested on his neck, and Ricky and Momoya yawned and appeared, each hanging from the chandelier on the roof.
The figure was stunned, he still wanted to die, but before he could move, the sword on his neck went a few inches deeper, blood gurgled and he was caught by the rag wrapped around Ricky's tail before he landed.
"You're up against three legendary necromancers, who can take turns crouching in the River Styx, ready to get you back."
Ricky approached the other party and said in a low voice: "By the way, standing next to you are two legendary assassins, we are responsible for killing, they are responsible for saving, guess which side is faster?" β
"I ...... Abandon. β
The figure replied crisply, and then was controlled by the two of them and quietly climbed out of the window.
Lucy was asleep the whole time, unaware of all this.
β¦β¦
In a small room in Kazeno, brightly lit and crowded, "Roddy" was tied to a chair and couldn't move at all.
Looking at this posture, you can know that it is Mu Yan's bundle.
"What should you call it, Mr. Rotten Blood, you should have a name for yourself these days, right?" Mu Yan said.
Roddy stared at him for a long time, and faintly spat out two words.
"Blood Raven."
"Very domineering name."
"Thank you." The Blood Crow bowed slightly, and then asked, "How did you find out?" β
"You think we're on guard?" Mu Yan smiled, "Are you confident that you can fool the three masters who play with the soul?" It's no exaggeration to say that even if you've devoured a dragon, you'll have to lie here now. Don't look like 'we're each other', if you weren't afraid of breaking Lucy's heart, we'd be exposed by us from the first day you started acting. β
The blood raven's face twitched a few times, and he looked around a little fearfully, and finally lowered his head.
"Make a condition." Mu Yan got straight to the point: "Leave this body and let go of Luo Di's soul." I know you've devoured McTarron's corpse, gained a lot of soul energy, and heard our conversation, so hide Roddy's memories ahead of time, even your own, but don't feel like that's enough to make you do whatever you want.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're trying to kill Lucy, create the illusion of a personality disorder, and then force us to exile you, right? You must be surprised that you've come full circle in the Wind Sky these days, right? Haven't you been here before? I didn't know what this place was, and I decided to do it because I felt hopeless of escape?
"Do you think that as long as our group of people has hopeless kindness, we must not be the opponent of a bastard like you?" Mu Yan's face turned cold and sneered: "Do you really think that your little cleverness is enough to turn this group of people around?" β
The blood crow's expression changed suddenly, and Mu Yan's every word poked at his careful thoughts, and he began to wonder if the other party had really probed the depths of his memory.
"Look, I guessed it all, didn't I?" Mu Yan changed his cold color, and said with a smile: "Those were all made up just now, but your reaction affirmed them, now tell me, who is stupid?" β
The blood crow's face was blue and red, his expression was very unnatural, he was silent for a long time, and hesitated: "I...... It needs a new body, and to get me out of this place. β
"Okay, no problem." Mu Yan agreed, "What about sincerity?" β
Blood Raven's eyes flickered.
"Naturally, it will be taken out then, but not now. To you, I am like a weak baby. β
"Babies don't have as many complicated thoughts as you." Mu Yan stood up, walked up to the blood crow, and looked at him condescendingly.
The Blood Raven avoided his piercing gaze and looked away with a shudder.
"Look at me."
Mu Yan stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead.
"What about Roddy's memories? Take it out and show it to me. Then I will grant you all your requests, even if it is the body of a dragon, I will go to Hogarth and find it for you. β
The Blood Raven was silent.
"Back! Answer! I! Mu Yan said word by word: "Or, I'll find it myself." β
Green flames glowed from his fingertips, licking the blood raven's soul.
The Blood Raven began to struggle violently, its body shaking like chaff.
"I didn't ...... Useless...... He's ...... He's been eaten by me......"
Mu Yan's eyes froze, and the surrounding elements became viscous.
He was really angry this time.
"Hahaha...... Useless...... He's not even a scumbag left......"
The Blood Raven shouted hysterically
"Legendary...... What about legends...... Can you save a person who doesn't exist......
"Stupid donkeys...... I've fooled you......
"Incorrigible kindness, hahaha-"
The voice stopped abruptly, and Teacher Zha didn't know when he appeared behind Roddy, and the phantom of a big hand completely reached into his body, pulling out his soul.
Or 'it's'.
It was a translucent carrion that looked like a rag bag, which was carried in Mr. Zha's hand, sneering and then melting into a puddle of green liquid, which was stored in a crystal ball.
Circles of silent soul screams rang out, but only a few people present could hear them.
Cleanly cleaned up the blood crow, Teacher Zha said: "Look, I guessed right, it's not hiding at all, even if it gets a lot of soul energy, how can it hide something under the noses of the three legends?" You have to be so indecisive, it's not good for academic mages to be so stinky. β
Mu Yan didn't dare to answer a word when he was trained, and nodded vigorously to admit his mistake.
On the contrary, Glazer was not happy, and the old mage raised his eyebrows: "What, you have an opinion about the academy mage?" β
"Heh, who swore to Mu Yan at the beginning that it was hidden?" Teacher Zha teased: "I said that you academy mages are conservative and pedantic, what's wrong? β
"Tsk, the liberal wild mage is also qualified to judge us?" Glazer sneered, "Do you know how many details Mu Yan has in casting spells? Isn't it your kind of wild way? Do you know how much work it took me to correct these vices? β
"That's a fighting technique that has been passed down from generation to generation! The academic mage simply can't understand what if! Teacher Zha became angry all of a sudden, rolled up his sleeves and argued with Glazer.
The people in the room saw that most of the immortal fighting formation had slipped away, Mu Yan felt that he had become the target of the fire, and he couldn't fight back like his grandson, so he quickly picked up the crystal ball and slipped away.
