Chapter 689: The Heart of the Qilin
There are no demons in the world, and the so-called demons are all forced out by the cruel and ruthless side of human nature.
The cause that was once sown with evil will eventually reap the evil consequences. The invasion of the demons encountered by the Lost Continent is not a disaster brought to them by human beings themselves. There must be an effect, there must be a cause, there must be a cause, right and wrong, and retribution is unpleasant, this is an eternal axiom. Ye Tianxie was silent, thinking back to his former self, at the beginning, why didn't he deeply resent the world because of everything he encountered, hated and excluded everyone, and wanted revenge again and again......
"There are some things that there is no way to distinguish between right and wrong, people have their own reasons, and you have demons and demons. Of course, there is nothing wrong with humans fighting against demons in order to protect their homeland, and demons are also seeking revenge in order to survive...... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, everything is to blame. But the expulsion of dark magic must have been at least 10,000 years ago, right? At that time, all the people had already died, and there should have been no demons at that time...... Oh, except for the demon god in your mouth, then ......"
"I know what you're trying to say." Madame Blacksmith interrupted him with a loud voice: "You may think that since the wrong people and the expelled people are dead, there is no reason for us to be so undead with humans...... However, since the first person to practice dark magic turned into a demon under the persecution of humans, humans and demons have become natural mortal enemies, and the hostility between humans and demons no longer needs a reason, only victory and defeat. ”
"In that case, why would you even marry a human?" Ye Tianxie asked.
"Because, even if it's a demon, no one likes to fight and kill, here, I already have everything that all the demons dream of, and after so many years, my heart has become calm, and I don't want to be a 'demon' again. What I'm saying to you doesn't mean I'm still hostile to humans. I was talking to you as a demon in the past, and now I am ...... It is a person, an ordinary person, a person who has no power, let alone dark power. ”
No dark forces? Lost any power?
"So, your body will recover?" Ye Tianxie's gaze swept over her whole body and asked in surprise.
"Yes, my body was once eroded by the dark power, and I can become one of the nine demon generals whose status is second only to the demon god, and what I once had was extremely strong dark power...... And the stronger the dark power, the more it will eat the body. If you've seen any of our Nine Demon Kings, you'll know how terrifying the dark power can become. ”
It's not that Ye Tianxie hasn't seen the Demon King...... At the beginning, in the underground of the Phantom Beast Clan Ruins, the Dark Ghost King was only one point like a human, and nine points more like a ghost, walking on the street was enough to scare the timid passers-by into peeing their pants.
The Demon King is still like this, so you can imagine how terrifying the Demon God with the strongest dark power will be...... Wouldn't one glance be enough for months of nightmares, right?
"I came here through a spatial rift, and the dark forces were all gone, and after that, I was in a coma for decades...... In the past few decades, my original body has gradually recovered and become a 'human' under the influence of the breath of life released by various flowers and plants around me year after year...... If the demon bat hadn't appeared, I might have forgotten that I was once a demon and that the demon existed. ”
Deep worry flashed in the depths of Madame Blacksmith's eyes. This was a world that was isolated from the world and would not be set foot in by those she didn't want to see, but she didn't expect that even in such a world, she still couldn't calm down.
"You were finally discovered by the demons?" Ye Tianxie asked. That demon bat undoubtedly belonged to the demon clan, and it appeared in the novice village and captured the child of the Green Hades Ghost King, apparently because it discovered her existence, so as to ...... However, there seems to be too much confusion in this, why did the bat catch her son and not herself? What was the purpose of her arrest? Stress? Not at all. Disciplinary? Not much more like ...... What's even more puzzling is how the bat came to the novice village?
There are a total of three Novice Village Teleportation Scrolls...... One of the mysterious merchants in the hand of the No. 1 was used by himself, could it be that bat has a novice village teleportation scroll in his hand?
"No, they didn't find me, they all thought I was dead, and my appearance was already human, completely different from before, and the dark forces were all gone, even if they stood in front of me, they wouldn't know who I was, and it wasn't me who brought the demon bat here, but my son Xiao Ming." Lady Blacksmith...... He was the former Blue Ghost King, and said in a low voice.
"Xiao Ming?" Ye Tianxie was taken aback for a while. Is there something terrible about this little kid?
Madame Blacksmith did not hide it from him at all, and explained in a slow voice: "Although my dark power has disappeared, and my body has become a human body, my essence is still a demon, and the environment of our demon continent is completely different from the environment of the lost continent, which is full of desolation, poison, cursed smoke, and countless disasters that may break out at any time, and the body that grows up in this environment is destined to be different from people." So, now that I have the appearance of a human being, I am not really human after all...... Although it can be combined with people, the child born is also destined to be stillborn. ”
Ye Tianxie: "!?" ”
"From the first day I was with my husband, I knew this fact. I longed to have a child, so I successfully conceived and gave birth, because I just had one thing in my body that could hold the child's life and prevent him from dying at birth. That thing, while my child was still in my body, was sealed in my body, and after a long period of assimilation and the child's growth, it became his life. ”
A sense of confusion arose in Ye Tianxie's mind, the source of the demon and the fact that this old woman was the demon king, he reluctantly accepted it, and what she told later made him feel more like he was listening to a mysterious story that could no longer be mysterious.
It's all some kind of nonsense.
"Do you mean that the thing that attracted that demonic bat here was the thing you sealed in your son's body?" Ye Tianxie said, this may be the only explanation.
The blacksmith lady nodded indifferently: "Yes, the demon bat followed its breath and did not hesitate to track it here." ”
"But ......" Ye Tianxie frowned, and thought of something incomprehensible: "If the demon bat came for the things in Xiao Ming's body, then why did it capture Xiao Ming for so long and didn't kill him and take out the things in his body?" Instead, seal it inside the Dark Orb...... When I met the Demon Bat, it had been months since it had taken your children. ”
"As I said, that thing has become one with my child's life...... If it kills my child, then that thing will also 'die' and lose all its power. There's only one way to get it out of my son's body...... It will be a difficult and long process to save his life, to use special powers, to strip its power from my son's body little by little. Because, that thing is too powerful......"
"So...... What is that thing that protects your son's life? Ye Tianxie finally couldn't help but ask. What can make that demon bat chase to the novice village must not be easy.
Madame Blacksmith still didn't hide it, and said the name without any shredging: "The Heart of the Kirin." ”
Ye Tianxie: "!! ”
Kirin Heart!?
Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Qilin are the five great guardian holy beasts of the Lost Continent, and the first of these five holy beasts ...... It's the unicorn.
The Ring of the Green Dragon, the Feather of the Vermilion Bird, the Ring of the White Tiger, the Step of the Xuanwu, the Heart of the Qilin...... These five divine artifacts that inherit the power of the five holy beasts are also the most powerful with the heart of the unicorn.
The Green Ghost King of this demon clan, the wife of the blacksmith Lao Wang of No. 60001 Novice Village, actually has the strongest Qilin Heart among the five artifacts in her hand!
Ye Tianxie's expression was moved by Mrs. Blacksmith's eyes, and she said indifferently: "It seems that you really know what the heart of the unicorn is, so ...... Do you want to get it? ”
"Yes!" Ye Tian didn't want to answer. This is the ultimate weapon that carries the power of the original unicorn, who doesn't want to get it? He is not guilty of hypocrisy and cover-up.
"Well, I'll give it to you." Madame Blacksmith said, more simply than he had answered. The voice was flat and waveless, as if he was promising to send a cabbage everywhere.
Ye Tianxie instantly became excited...... It's too straightforward! It's so refreshing!
Before Ye Tianxie could suppress his excitement, Mrs. Blacksmith continued to speak: "However, it takes time. ”
Ye Tianxie was stunned at first, but immediately responded, the heart of the unicorn is now tied to Xiao Ming's life, if you want to take down the heart of the unicorn, it will take a relatively long process, not only will it take time, but the time it will take will not be short, so ......
"Since your son's life is assimilated to the heart of the unicorn, if the heart of the unicorn leaves his body, will it also make his life disappear?" Ye Tianxie said with a deep groan.
The blacksmith lady shook her head and said, "It's been seven years, Xiao Ming's body has been a life form without any defects and abnormalities under the power of the Qilin Heart, and now even if it is separated from the power of the Qilin Heart, it is no different from a normal person. ”
"Then I'm relieved...... However, how long will this time be? ”
Madame Blacksmith glanced at him and still shook her head: "I don't know, maybe a few months, maybe half a year, maybe a year...... I can't tell you the exact time, I can only say...... It will not be more than a year, it will not be less than three months. If I can still find you at that time, I will definitely give you the heart of the unicorn, which can be regarded as a reward for you, and at the same time...... It is not a precious instrument for me, but a source of calamity that can bring disaster at any time. ”
A minimum of three months, a maximum of one year?
Ye Tianxie's heart twitched...... Do you have to wait here for three months to a year?
If he didn't wait, it would be almost impossible for him to return...... That's the heart of a unicorn!
If you wait...... Who can afford such a long time? And who wants to spend so much time in a small novice village.
[PS: I don't know if my brain or fingers twitched in the last chapter, and I beat the Green Hades Ghost King into a Rakshasa Ghost King, um. Fixed it over. Does anyone still remember the name Rakshasa Ghost King? The classmates who don't remember flipped through the plot of the Heavenly Soul Cemetery. 】
[In addition, I suddenly found out today that this keyboard under my hand has been used for three years! From Shura to the evil dragon, there are more than five million words in total, and Du Nima uses this keypad code! In the past, when I used to use the notebook codeword, I also used this external connection, and the desktop computer was also directly plugged in, and only occasionally when I coded the word in the car, I would use the notebook's own keyboard...... In other words, these more than 5 million words basically come from this keyboard, plus the usual writing of official documents, chatting QQ...... There is also a fierce trampling during various games...... It's been three years, and it's not broken! Not a single key is broken, and the thief is comfortable to press! Even the lettering on the keycaps is not blurred!
What does this mean?
This shows that you really get what you pay for! Cheap is not good, good is not cheap! The keyboard I bought at a high price is different, I used it for three years, and I didn't know how many thousands of times I pressed it! Therefore, you must not try to buy things cheaply in the future, high prices represent high quality.
Well...... I bought this keyboard for 19 oceans, a high-end USB interface keyboard. 】
