Chapter 24: The Gift of Predecessors
"Ah, Daddy, good morning" When Robert and Ellie went downstairs together, it was already dusk. Sinloth looked at Ellie who yawned and greeted him, and his heart gradually sank.
"Little lazy worm, it's almost time to say good night."
"Huh? Good night? ”
The blonde girl seemed to be taken aback, and her big misty eyes suddenly opened to the maximum: "I slept for a day?" ”
"Well, yes, indeed. There's a little lazy worm that can't wake up no matter how much it screams. ”
"Dad is really, always bullying Ellie. It must be that Dad didn't call Ellie, so Ellie couldn't get up. ”
"Ahaha, my bad, my bad." "Daddy is really!"
Sinloth pulled out his chair and put the pouting, pouting little guy on it. The lord stroked his daughter's blonde hair and said softly, "Okay, Ellie, let's eat." ”
Ellie turned her head, tears flashing in her big blue eyes: "Dad is the best at deceiving people, he obviously said that he would just go out for a while, but when he came back, he was covered in blood and Elle didn't want to become a person" The girl said, her tears could not be controlled anymore, and she threw herself into Xinluos's arms and cried.
"Ah, my bad, my bad" Sinloth lovingly stroked his daughter's hair, he just kept repeating the phrase with a complicated look in his eyes.
[Ellie's morality is reduced to 7, feelings are increased to 25, and consideration is increased to 20.]
"If it goes on like this, can't it?"
By the time Sinloth coaxed her daughter into a smile and finished dinner with her, it was already completely dark. The girl ran upstairs with her skirt on her face, and Robert, who was very discerning, hurriedly followed. I don't know what this child is happy about, Xinluos, who has lived in the Internet era since he was a child, I'm afraid he won't be able to understand this purest happiness in this life.
Xinluo watched his daughter run upstairs, and then looked at the sky outside, and sighed secretly in his heart, the days passed silently, but he didn't do anything he wanted to do.
The road is long, and if you want to succeed, you must first endure loneliness, and Xinlos is completely unthinkable about this. However, there is one thing in front of me that can be asked about the ball of light.
"54213, what the hell is Elle"
"Compulsive Magical Craving Syndrome, or Addiction for short."
"Addiction?" Sinloth repeated the words of the ball of light, and he had a bad premonition, as the name suggested, it was so similar to the pain that people who had been involved in a certain taboo had suffered when they were on Earth.
"It's not what the contractor thinks, Ellie's situation is different from that of her power-hungry kindred. Her bloodline was too strong, just ordinary food, it couldn't meet the needs of her powerful bloodline at all, and those weak energies were not enough to make her grow normally. In order to preserve herself, her body instinctively chooses to reduce her consumption by sleeping deeply, and constantly store energy for future growth. ”
Hearing the ball of light say this, Xinluos's heart was slightly relieved. As long as it's not what he thinks, that's fine.
"Is there a cure?"
"It's hard."
Xinluos's thin eyebrows, which had just loosened a little, furrowed tightly again. The light ball mouth owes a lot, but for his inquiry, he never lies: "How can it be difficult, if it's just a lack of energy, wouldn't it be nice to make up for her?" ”
"Correct. But the contractor, you must understand that in this world, magic is the patent of the demons, and only they know how to properly use this mysterious power. ”
The demons, after the war ten years ago, have become mortal enemies with humans. As an imperial lord, contact with demons is treasonous. The Empire has never had a precedent for forgiveness of traitors. And the bloodline of Ellie's father's side is a secret that must be kept for the rest of his life, and it is known by the demons, who knows what they will do. Maybe it's to raise Ellie to be a demon? Maybe it's for the purity of the bloodline, killing Ellie?
Sinloth didn't have that courage, he didn't dare bet.
"Aren't there those magicians," as soon as the words came out, Sinlos couldn't wait to make a fool of himself. The magicians behaved secretly, even more so after a witch hunt, and Sinlos didn't know how to find them. As for the mysterious Fay, although he seems to have a good relationship with Isabelle. But if she didn't show up, Cynroth wouldn't be able to find her.
Xinlos was annoyed for a while, he grabbed the ball of light and put it in front of his eyes: "Don't sell it to me, you must have a way, hurry up and tell me it." ”
"The easiest way is to let Ellie go back to the Demon Realm, where there is an abundance of magical energy, which is the most suitable for Ellie's growth. For the sake of Ellie's bloodline, that majesty must have been"
Xinlos interrupted the ball of light impatiently: "Don't tell me that this is useless, Isabel must have a reason to risk the taboo to send Ellie out." ”
The ball of light flickered a few times, and continued: "If there is no suitable environment, it is also possible to use a large number of magic stones to directly replenish the magic power that Ellie needs to grow. ”
Xinlos rolled his eyes: "Is there a way not to go to the Demon Realm?" ”
As the name suggests, the magic stone is the crystallization of the magical elements in the demon world that are condensed under certain circumstances. A small magic stone often contains extremely amazing magical energy. The royal capital, known as the capital of immortality, its proud city walls, suffered from these black gadgets. Given his power, the price of magic stones is extremely high for both humans and demons. Even if you can buy some of them on the black market, you can't buy them in large quantities.
"Yes." The ball of light flickered for a moment, but replied in the affirmative.
"Oh?"
"Actually, the contractor has a very powerful magic item here. If the contractor is willing to half-destroy the magic item and strip the energy core of the magic item, it can also provide enough magic energy for Ellie. ”
"I have it here? How did I not know? ”
A magic stone is incomparably powerful, and even the ball of light says that it requires a large number of magic stones, which shows how huge the magic power needed for Ellie's growth is. One magic item can be worth a large number of magic stones, so how powerful should that magic item be?
With such a powerful thing, even if Sinlos didn't use magic, it was impossible for him not to be impressed at all.
"I can sense that you have an unusually powerful magic item in your body."
"My body?" Sinloth repeated, his eyes full of doubt: "Don't you know my body yet, how can there be any powerful magic props?" Even if there is, it can only be put in by you, right? Wait"
If I have to say it, there may be one thing. I remember that when he was unconscious, it seemed that someone had given him something. But Sinloth was groggy at the time and didn't care. Come on now
Sinloth was silent for a while, then asked, "So, how do I get it out?" ”
"Such a powerful magic prop should require the owner's mental fluctuations and a specific activation language."
Specific mental fluctuations? Since it was given to him, then it should be the mental fluctuation of Xinluos As for the initiating language, what is it?
Cynroth cupped his temples and began to think carefully about the bits and pieces of the dream. Since it was given to him, it would definitely be told to him about the initiation, otherwise wouldn't it be meaningless. Sinloth pondered for a long time, and after a long time, he said with uncertainty: "Life is not for abandonment. ”
As Xinluos's words fell, Xinlos felt a slight burning sensation on his forehead. The scorching heat is not very hot, but warm, like the afternoon sun, and people can't help but indulge in it.
"The contractor can calm his mind, control the magic prop with his mind, and remove it from the body."
Hearing the words of the ball of light, Xinloston woke up from a burst of comfort. He didn't dare to slack off, according to the words of the ball of light, he carefully controlled the magic prop with his mind. Thankfully, it may be true that the voice said that this item was given to him. This magic prop that I don't know why is unusually stable, there is no rejection at all, and along with Xinluos's thoughts, it turned into a faint ball of light and landed in Xinluos's palm.
Looking at the ball of light in his palm, Xinluos's heart moved, and the ball of light that exuded a faint brilliance dissipated its own brilliance, revealing its true face.
This one
It's a long black whip.
The ten-meter-long whip body is black and shiny, and under the light of the candle flame at night, it exudes a mysterious charm. At a rough glance, it seems to be unpretentious, but if you distinguish it carefully, you can faintly see countless complex and gorgeous lines looming on it.
This is
[Whip of Legends of Prescia: Strange Things.] Prescia Testrosa, the Grand Magister of Alhazard, fused the Alhazard technique and the Midzhilda technique, and devoted all her efforts to making a powerful magician. On the surface, it is a complete whip, but it is actually composed of 103,000 magic threads. For some personal reason, Prescia did not add artificial intelligence to the wizard, nor did she burn any magic circles on it. Such a willful behavior made this powerful magic guide that could have won the artifact directly become inferior to even the standard equipment. But while depriving the weapon of its powerful capabilities, it also adds endless possibilities. 】
[Detecting mental remnants of life is not meant to be discarded, and violence does not solve anything.] Understanding and love between people is the foundation of a strong person's true strength. Please make good use of this child, and be sure not to follow the same path I did. That kind of heavy dà mistake, once is enough. 】
"Is it a powerful root?" Xinlos reminisced about Prescia's message, and countless streamers flashed in his eyes: "Maybe you're right, right?" But I'm afraid I'll have to live up to your kindness, and this weapon is destined to not shine in my hands. ”
Sinloth muttered, following the Orb of Light's instructions and manipulating the whip with his mind. After a long time, two black headbands appeared in Sinloth's palm. And the whip, which was extremely powerful in the mouth of the ball of light, also lost its black and shiny appearance, faded its full brilliance, and became lifeless, like a mortal thing.
Xinluo looked at the headband in his palm and raised his eyebrows: "Black headband? What's the matter with Prescia, using this kind of thing as the centerpiece of the thing?"
"54213, does this thing work?"
"After the inspection, the headband is indeed filled with powerful magical energy."
"It's really, okay, okay, the headband is good."
