When he opened his eyes, which were still a little tired, the surrounding scene was still a little blurry, but a warm, slightly scented scent of herbs penetrated into his nostrils, making Li Mingyao subconsciously loosen his tense nerves.

The orange-red flames danced, centered on the point of light, and the surrounding scene suddenly became clear.

Including the shadow sitting by the campfire.

This wasn't the hospital he stayed in before he fainted, it looked like Akiyuki Takema had dragged him out of that weird place.

But it shouldn't be weird anymore, because the weird stuff has now gotten into his heart, deep in his soul.

"Why are you here?" Li Mingyao didn't even have the strength to make a surprise expression, and asked softly, "Could it be that I'm still dreaming?" ”

"Then I'm really lucky to be in your dreams." Takenama Mingxue's naturally cold voice sounded, but when he saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, Li Mingyao still involuntarily cracked the corners of his mouth.

Taking the kettle thrown by Mingxue from Takenama, Li Mingyao took a few sips, the cool liquid flowed straight down his throat and into his stomach, and the cold from the inside out made him shiver involuntarily.

Then I felt like my whole person came to life.

"Honestly... You shouldn't have come back, what if I did become a monster? Although he was very grateful to Mingxue Takema for not abandoning or giving up, Li Mingyao still chose to say this beautiful sentence.

Takema Mingxue didn't reply, just threw a roll of the eyes at Li Mingyao.

“... They didn't come... But don't blame them, after all, they think you're just an ordinary mage. After hesitating for a long time, Mingxue Takema spoke, but he was explaining Wang Jue's departure.

"Of course, I am not an acquaintance, and these things cannot be forced."

Li Mingyao supported his body with both hands, trying to stand up, but he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, and his legs didn't use any strength at all, just halfway up before Li Mingyao sat down on the ground again.

The tail vertebrae were pampered by the hard ground, and Lee Mingyao used a distorted facial expression to express his flattery.

Looking at Mingxue Takema, who was smiling lightly, Li Mingyao said angrily: "Miss Mingxue, I don't know if I can ask you to be kind and help me?" ”

"Don't!"

“Why？！”

"You stink."

"So you're putting the campfire so far away because of the smell on me?! I was lucky not to freeze to death! Li Mingyao wailed.

That being said, Takema Mingxue still helped Li Mingyao to the campfire.

The warm flame drove away the cold chill of the late autumn night for Li Mingyao.

“... How long have I been in a coma? "I took the hot soup in the iron box handed by Akiyuki Takema, although I don't know what kind of meat of the monster was used to cook it, but after it was cooked with Akiyuki Takema's own spices, there was always a different taste.

"It's okay, it's only a day or two."

Akiyuki Takema said it easily, but Li Mingyao could realize how difficult it was for her in the past two days.

Outside the wall is not a safe place in the first place, and a mage may not be able to protect himself outside the wall, let alone take care of him.

“... Thank you. ”

"You're welcome."

Akiyuki Takema's action of fiddling with charcoal in his hand suddenly paused.

"Well, how's your doing?"

She was referring to, of course, the thing that had been drilled into the stone that had been in his heart.

Li Mingyao subconsciously raised his hand and stroked his chest.

"Ahem—ahem!" Takema Mingxue's face turned red, and she turned her head and didn't dare to look at Li Mingyao's eyes.

In fact, Li Mingyao noticed that the buttons of his shirt were tied incorrectly.

Glancing at Mingxue Takema, Li Mingyao did not break it directly.

He unbuttoned and looked over to his chest.

And Mingxue Takema on the side, driven by curiosity, also turned his head to look at Li Mingyao's chest.

Dark red, like a hideous flesh scar, there is a scar on his chest that looks like a heart, and as the heart beats in the chest, the center of the scar is lit up with black darkness from time to time.

"The Abyss..."

Li Mingyao muttered to himself.

"What abyss?"

Li Mingyao narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly remembered that just when his soul was about to be scattered by this abyss bloodstone, it was Liluo who suddenly woke up and blocked the follow-up impact of the abyss for him, but because it was only a consciousness of Liluo that came out to resist, it could not completely drive this abyssal bloodstone out of his body, so this abyssal bloodstone simply remained in his body.

seems to have regarded Lee Mingyao as his new host.

But Li Mingyao didn't pay any price, not to mention that the hollowed out part of his body was polluted by this abyss bloodstone, and even the fire method in his spiritual world was tainted by the abyss bloodstone.

The Flame of the Abyss, the Thunder of the Void.

These two methods now stand in Li Mingyao's spiritual world, and the arcane law gate that has been eroded by both at the same time is the only Chuhan River realm that can stop them.

Li Mingyao had a feeling that he might not be able to awaken other magic in the future, because the power of those two methods was too strong, and he was afraid that any method that had just appeared would be difficult to survive under the confrontation of these two methods.

"The Abyss... It seems to be something of the same nature as the void. ”

Li Mingyao hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Takema Mingxue the news.

Besides, with Takema Mingxue's temperament, if he didn't say it, it was estimated that Takenama Mingxue would annoy him to death.

It shouldn't matter if you give a little bit of information... bar.

The Takema family should not have exaggerated enough to reach the point of mastering the Void with just these messages.

"The abyss? There doesn't seem to be this thing in the forbidden list. ”

"I don't know, but..."

Li Mingyao raised his left hand, and the broken string flashed and left a blood mark on the palm, and then the dark red abyssal blood quickly oozed out and turned into a short sword.

The blade of the sword and the hilt are less than a meter, which is a bit like a miniature version of the detached spirit, but unlike the black to white gradient of the detached spirit, this sword is dark red throughout, and the eyeball on the hilt is also tightly closed, which is more like an ornament than the evil eyeball of the detached spirit.

The word Glimpse is engraved on the sword, and the scribbled handwriting reveals a breathtaking evilness.

"The abyss, like the void, inhabits the human body in the form of weapons, and their energies have some similarities, the same type, but they are by no means of the same origin." Lee explained.

Mingxue Takema stroked the dark red sword in Li Mingyao's hand, frowning slightly.

"Well, you're not going to send me to the Forbidden Surgery Laboratory, are you?" Li Mingyao looked at Mingxue Takema's rare serious eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Not really." Akiyuki Takema's eyes rolled, "You must know that the single item of touching the void is enough to keep you in it for the rest of your life." ”

Li Mingyao rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, the first forbidden technique in the list of forbidden techniques in reality, the void, and then the abyss similar to the void... After thinking for a moment, Li Mingyao suddenly felt that it might be more suitable for him outside the wall.

"But while I won't hand you over to the Forbidden Surgery Laboratory, some necessary precautions are necessary." Akiyuki Takema put away her smile and said.

Li Mingyao was stunned: "What precautions." ”

"Soul Exhaustion Pact."

"Are you crazy?!" Hearing this, Li Mingyao's eyes widened in shock.

Soul Depletion Contract, the contract holder can completely manipulate the life and death of the signatory, but the price is that when the signer dies, the soul of the contract holder will also die of exhaustion, and this process is completely irreversible.

In the same way, when the holder dies, the soul of the signatory withers with it.

"Big sister, no." Li Mingyao said with an ugly face.

This kind of contract to give his life to others, he said that he would not agree to death.

"Jiang Fengjun, I hope you can be more reasonable, you have to understand, according to what you said, the abyss and the void are a level of forbidden art, and this level of forbidden art, if it breaks out casually, it is an existence that is fatal to the residents inside the wall, not to mention that the two of them erupt together!" Akiyuki Takema glared and explained, "Not sending you directly to the forbidden art examination center is already the biggest concession I have made, and I hope you can understand!" ”

This is the first time Li Mingyao has seen Mingxue Takema talk about one thing so seriously.

Damn, I wouldn't have said so much if I knew it!
