Chapter 537: The double-line plot is too troublesome, let's end the centaur chapter in one go (II)
In fact, Sivi is not afraid of the sudden attack of the Pope's girl at all...... Regardless of his own strength, he is immune to all soul devices. Even if the girl's sword transformed by the soul tool really slashed at him, it is estimated that the effect of the soul tool will be directly invalidated at that moment......
Although the other party will be difficult, it is also because he is difficult to adjust.
But watching a beautiful girl blow her beard and stare at her because of her words is also a different kind of fun for him - probably because of the pressure a little bit lately, I have to say that Xiwei's bad taste is getting stranger and stranger.
"Okay, let's get down to business first."
Sivi pulled out a black leather-covered notebook and a quill and tossed them aside.
Then, under Horna's astonished gaze, as if someone out of sight was in control, the quill and notebook floated in the air, ready to record their conversation.
Could that be a soul apparatus too? The girl secretly guessed in her heart.
It's a pity that it's just a slightly strange alchemy item......
While enjoying the girl's surprised gaze, Xiwei secretly said in his heart, "You don't understand the world of magicians", and said seriously: "Then the first question ......"
"Wait, why are you asking me?" Horna suddenly came to her senses and looked at Sivi warily.
"Is it difficult for you to ask me?" Sivi looked shocked.
"Why are you so surprised, I usually ask, right?" The girl seemed to want to slap the table to increase her deterrent. It turned out that the sword just now didn't control its strength well, and it was slashed together with the table. So she decisively pointed her hand hanging in the air at Xiwei: "As a host, isn't it normal to care a little about the identity of an uninvited guest!" β
"Uninvited? I don't think you even know where to ask me from, do you? Sivi pursed her lips and smiled strangely...... In Horna's eyes, it must have meant contempt or something.
But Horner really didn't have much to argue with.
Almost all known soul tools make soul tools obtained from other people. Although there seems to be a lot of difference in the image of each soul tool envoy for the person who gave the soul device, there are men and women, young and old, but the only thing is the same: no matter which organization in the Eastern Plains uses, no matter how much force is used, there is no way to re-find the previous soul tool holder.
It's not uncommon for this to happen, after all, Sivi wouldn't be stupid enough to show them his true face directly - the seasonal merchandise in the achievement store has been updated with a magic item called 'Flesh Disguise'. It is a thin mask. It can be used to change your appearance, which is very useful, and although the price is a little expensive, it can be rented cheaply to make up for this disadvantage......
Even now. Sivi was wearing that too. Even if it's face to face with Alyssa. I guess they didn't recognize him either.
It's not that he won't change the magic of his image, but when there are magic items to do it for him, why bother suffering this sin comparable to plastic surgery......
In a word. Under Xiwei's complaints, the temperature in the living room plummeted, approaching freezing.
Although Horna showed her hand a little just now, in her eyes, Xiwei was the previous holder of the soul device after all, and it was impossible for her to really fall out with him casually. So the girl simply didn't say a word, showing a non-violent and non-cooperative appearance.
"Okay, okay, in that case, let's ask each other questions." Xiwei scratched his nose and compromised: "How about I ask three and you ask two?" β
"You ask one and I ask one, three questions per person, and if it involves confidentiality, you can not answer."
The girl immediately responded.
"Do you think you're buying groceries, and you can bargain for ......" Xiwei's complaint followed.
However, because there was really no room for discussion, in the end he agreed to do what the girl said.
"Then the first question," Sivi made a deep expression with his hands on his chin, and his eyes under the flesh mask stared into the girl's face, "what is the real purpose of your Necessary Evil Church?" β
"I don't know what to do." The girl replied faster this time, and the answer was even more unexpected by Xiwei: "Although I am the head of the church, most of the actual power is held by the elder group, and I am just a pawn on the surface because I have a soul device." β
It seems that this girl knows her position more clearly than Sivi thought. Originally, he thought that after flying from a pheasant to a branch and becoming a phoenix, the girl would have some exaggerated mentality.
"Then that's my question." Since Sivi was still sitting on the wreckage of the sofa, the girl was sitting a little higher than him, she bowed her head slightly, looked at Sivi leaning on the wreckage of the sofa, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the contract you signed with me?" β
"You don't have to worry about that, it's just a symbolic thing." Sivi shrugged his shoulders, although the contract was very good, but it was actually part of his bad taste: "Actually, as long as you accept the soul device, it doesn't matter if you sign that thing or not." β
"......" Horna pursed her lips, looking unreceptive to Sivi's answer.
And Sivi didn't intend to continue explaining.
He admired Horna's expression for a moment before asking the second question, "So, how many white-clothed archbishops from the Sanctuary are there in your Church of Necessary Evil?" β
"I didn't expect you to even know this......" Horna frowned, she actually had a sense of belonging to the necessary evil teachings: "Sorry, this is confidential, I can't say." β
"That's a pity."
If you are dealing with some real insiders, as long as you give enough benefits, you can always get something out of the other party's mouth, but after all, Horna is just a peripheral vase for believers to see, and Sivi is not interested in wasting time for such unimportant information.
Horna thought for a moment before asking the second question, "Do you have any other soul devices in your hands now?" β
She had wanted to ask about the origin of the soul device or the identity of Sivi. However, she always felt that even if she asked, she would only get an answer of 'this is confidential and cannot be answered', so she picked one of the questions she wanted to ask that didn't seem to be so important.
"No, all the soul tools have been transferred to your generation of soul tools."
Sivi continued to say as if it was true.
In terms of statements alone, he really wasn't lying.
He no longer had any soul tools on hand, and all the soul tools were handed over to Horna, the soul tool - in fact, the first generation. It's just that from what he said, it's easy to come to the wrong conclusion that there was at least one generation of soul masters before Horna.
"The last question: Is there any reason why you joined the Church of Necessary Evil, other than their threats?" Seeing Horna's thoughtful look, Sivi couldn't help but ask...... Originally, his third question was whether there were any members of the Dark Alliance of Timoses in the Church of Necessary Evil.
"There is no particular reason for that, if you have to say it. It's just that their teachings are relatively normal. It's not like other religions that brag and brag and end up doing nothing. And these days, the Church of Necessary Evil has really brought blessings to people. β
The Pope's maiden thought about it for a moment, and she didn't know if she was nostalgic for her original decision or something else. Then he said slowly.
"Then it's not a problem. If you don't want to answer. I don't force it, either, if one day you find that this church has completely deviated from its original teachings and started to run counter to your ideals. What would you do? β
"It's a bit ridiculous to say, but I'll try to reverse it."
"What if it's too late to turn around?" Sivi asked again.
"Then cut it off." The girl said proudly: "False teachings can only blind the eyes of believers for a while, and I also have my own like-minded friends here!" β
Green points of light swirled around the girl, and the faint green light made the girl's face look a little wonderful.
It seemed that she also seemed to be aware of the malice of the elders of the Pure White Church to a certain extent, and she had also made a little preparation.
"I hope you remember what you said today."
Sivi stood up and patted his robe, the stains on the coffee spilled on it slowly drifting out and dripping onto the floor as if they had come to life.
Then, with a slight smile, he walked towards the door.
"Its essence is a lock, and its name is a chain!"
The pale green points of light formed an illusory chain, winding towards Xiwei, and along with the chain, there was a girl's voice: "Don't try to slip away, you still owe me a question!" β
Sivi tapped a flick on the chain, and the chain turned into countless green points of light like fireflies and disappeared.
"Have you really figured out the last question?" He asked, looking back.
Horna was stunned, she really hadn't figured out what questions to ask in order to get the most information.
"Isn't that the end of it?" Xiwei stretched out his hands: "If you haven't thought about it, keep it for now, and ask when we meet next time." β
As he spoke, his figure disappeared in front of the girl like the snow melting in spring.
After a while, there was a knock at the door of the living room.
"Your Majesty, have you returned?" A slightly older voice also came in.
is a member of the Elder Body that has actually taken control of the Necessary Evil Church. Although the old man always followed her in the name of protecting and supporting herself, Horna knew that his most important purpose was to spy on herself.
That's why the girl developed the magic of the commotion in the surface through the soul device, in order to avoid the other party's surveillance.
Thinking of Sivi's sudden exit, the girl felt for no reason that the reason why he left in such a hurry was just because he found out that this old man was coming......
ββNew Green Grasslandββ
The centaurs, especially the Ironhoof, have suffered severe losses, even to the point where they have an impact on the continuation of the population.
Originally, the Ironhoof tribe had to be merged into other tribes in order to continue their lineage and legacy.
It's just that after Sivi intervened, the situation changed,
Before his death, the former chief of the Ironhoof tribe, Willarent, passed the chieftain to Jean, the self-blind centaur student of Sivi.
The singers of the Ironhoof tribe also recognized Jean's status. He also gave Jean the artwork made of wurm scales, which Veillarente had deposited with him before his departure as proof of chieftaincy.
As a staunch supporter of Xiwei, after Xiwei expressed his intention to solicit, he agreed without saying a word, and urged the clansmen to quickly pack all the things that the clan wanted to bring and prepare to take them away.
It is estimated that even if Sivi wants to ride him now (people who think of strange places should consciously face the wall), Jean will not hesitate to agree.
Of course, Xiwei himself is not interested in such a heavy thing as sitting on his brother...... Even if that brother is his student.
The survivors of the Goblin Raid also said that it was okay, and that eagerness made the old, weak, sick and disabled who had not gone to the battlefield also have some expectations for the future of 'settling in places where humans live'.
It's just that not all centaurs agree with this.
"Have you just given up your glory as a centaur and followed behind humanity and bowed your head like a mule!"
The centaur who had not yet recovered jumped out and shouted.
Interestingly, his words were also supported by a centaur.
"If you change the insult to my teacher again. The words of the benefactor of our people. Then I will have to propose a steppe duel to you. β
Jean replied to this: "Speaking of the precedent of our people following powerful humans in the age of mythology, helping them to build and stabilize their power, have you all forgotten? β
"So those people are a disgrace to the centaurs!" The two of them looked like everyone was drunk and I was sober: "Our ancestors led us to establish the current tribe in the new green grassland. And those shames are now completely lost in history. Don't you understand such a stark example? β
"But their names will be in the long river of history. But there will be no name on you. Jean, who was also a hot-blooded teenager in the second year of secondary school, did not hesitate to launch a counterattack.
And for this kind of two-goods centaur who is the same as those keyboard teases on the Internet in his previous life, Xiwei has only one meaning: "Love comes and doesn't come and rolls, don't affect my teaching." β
Able to weed out these comics from the centaurs they brought back to the Eastern Plains. Or is it something he can't ask for? Otherwise, God knows that these centaurs who think they are superior to others (psychologically, physically centaurs are indeed taller than humans) will make some mess in the Eastern Plains. Even if Sivi is not afraid of trouble, wiping Tease's ass is not his hobby.
It was only after the centaurs had left that Sivi summoned the Sky Academy again.
After all, it is impossible to take this group of old, weak, sick and disabled people all the way to the eastern plain through the Fengkou Plateau...... Not to mention the centaur, even if you get a few wurms to pass through the Fengkou Plateau unharmed, it is unknown, not to mention how many crises are hidden on the road from the New Green Grassland to the Fengkou Plateau.
Rather than this unreliable way, it is easier and faster to let them into the second school district first, and then go through the portal of the second school district to the third school district of Morag. The only problem with this method is that the stability of the portal is still a bit problematic, and I wonder if the passage will lose one or two centaurs or something when teleporting......
Of course, this is not a problem, as long as you set a temporary mana coordinate on each of the centaurs, even if you lose it, you can get it back - unless you are stuck in a stone or something, then you can only mourn.
Unlike before, the originally empty Sky Academy now has several leprechauns and an empty boat on standby.
While the airship was picking people up and forth, Sivi retested the magical talents of the centaurs, but unfortunately there was not a single one as talented as Jean, not even enough to be a magician.
Fortunately, there are still more than a dozen young centaurs who can't become magicians, but they have a certain degree of magical talent, and it's no problem to be a magic swordsman.
After putting them all in the scope of the students, the task that had been hanging was finally completed.
The quest rewards are not bad, but that's not what Sivi is focused on.
For some reason, looking at the centaur boys who were facing a new life and full of longing and anxiety about the magic academy, Sivi suddenly had a subtle feeling.
I always feel like I've seen this kind of expression before.
The memory of more than half a year ago suddenly surfaced, when they were selected by the blue owl and picked up by the leprechauns, and Edric's current students, when they first came to Edric, didn't they all have this expression......
"It's only been less than a year, but I always feel that those little ones have grown up all of a sudden."
He scratched his head and looked at the sky, full of emotion.
After becoming a great magician, it seems that his attention to the students has decreased a lot. A lot of things are being fought silently by one person, what has become of Edric now, have the students grown well, and what are their expectations for the future?
"Why do you suddenly have such strange feelings like an old man?" Sivi sighed.
Maybe it's because I have some understanding of the bumpy fate of the Iron Hoof Clan. In the end, he can only blame this.
"In that case, the mission will be suspended, and I won't go to Middle-earth for now." After carving a magic coordinate on the new green grassland, Xiwei also got on the airboat to the second school district: "Let's go back to the academy for a while and do something interesting to relax...... There's been so much going on lately. β
While it's nice to have two of you to share a lot of things, it also comes with double fatigue.
After recovering himself on the other side, Sivi yawned and looked out the window at the messy new green meadow, confused...... (To be continued......)
