Lilith stared at me curiously, and it wasn't until I had put all three cloaks away that she leaned over and asked, "Are you going to curse the King of the Yellow Coat?" ”

When she asked, I was also confused: "Curse? What do you mean? ”

Lilith said, "These cloaks were summoned from the realm of the King of Yellow, with his aura on them, didn't you collect them to set up a witch array to curse the King of Yellow?" ”

I waved my hand: "It's just a matter of studying." Hey, what does that mean, can you use these cloaks to curse the King of the Yellow Coat? ”

Lilith's head shook like a rattle, "No, he's too powerful, my curse won't work on him." ”

Hey, talking for a long time is like saying nothing.

When I came to Ymir with my coat in my arms, Imir was staring into the middle of the garden in a daze.

In his heart, there is both the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, but also a faint loss.

I couldn't help laughing: "What, I didn't die, I feel uncomfortable?" ”

Ymir sighed sullenly, "You make me feel that the fears I've endured all these years seem to be meaningless, and since I was twenty years old, I've been terrified every day and every night, and my heart trembles at the thought of those facelings, but you were killed by them all in a second." ”

I patted him on the shoulder: "Nonsense, go back to your lair first, get me a glass of water to drink, really, I didn't even give a glass of water when I came to your house, and I was killed." ”

Ymir looked up at me for a long time before he said to me in a sympathetic tone: "You are also a poor person, and I can see that there is another person hidden in your heart." ”

This is quite euphemistic, in fact, Ymir means that I don't see it, it turns out that you have a split personality.

As soon as my mood was relaxed just now, I showed my unstingy nature again, to be honest, my own true personality really has nothing to do with steadiness and gentleness, and when I showed myself in front of the Rat King before, the Rat King also suspected that I had a split personality.

No way, after all, the contrast between the front and back is too great.

But after thinking about it, it would be better not to explain too much to Ymir, who thinks I'm a patient and prefers to be nice to me.

Sympathy and sympathy are the deepest intimacy in the world.

So I didn't say much, just let out a dull breath from my nose, and then shrank into the tunnel.

Lilith followed me in, and Ymir sat outside for a moment before lighting a lantern and following up.

When I got back to the Red House, Ymir remained silent, just silently poured me a glass of water and added a few ice cubes to the cup, and then handed it to me safely.

I took the glass and asked him, "You spent a lot of money on medicine, didn't you?" ”

Ymir nodded first, then shook his head: "It did cost a lot, but those medicines didn't work for me." As early as the age of eighteen, I could see those visions from time to time, but after the age of twenty, when I had problems with my secondary sex characteristics, the visions disappeared. ”

"Why would you pay for those pills when they don't work for you?"

"I know that the King of Yellow has his eye on me, and I also know that Andre is a traitor, and if I don't buy those pills, Andre may kill me at the first opportunity."

Unlike the Rat King and Eros, Ymir knew about his situation early on.

Ymir continued, "I didn't dare to resist because I had seen the King of the Yellow Coat, and I also knew that with the power of the surface world, I couldn't compete with him at all. I've never been able to figure out why he didn't do that when he was so powerful that he could take over the surface world in the simplest and most brutal way. ”

I said, "This shows that his abilities are limited, and if this thing is really the Old Dominator mentioned in the Cthulhu Mythos, then for us mortals, his abilities are already unlimited." So I guess that this so-called king in yellow is not the king in yellow in the Cthulhu mythos at all, he just uses such a name to package himself and bluff people. Hey, I've always had a question in my mind, how did the Cthulhu Mythos come to the Haishi, and why did the people in the Haishi believe in it. ”

Ymir thought for a moment and then spoke: "I don't know when this mythological system was transmitted, but I always feel that it seems to have existed since the establishment of the sea market. The reason why people believe in the Cthulhu Mythos is that the world described in the myth is very similar to the inland sea described in the Chronicles of the Twenty-Four Kingdoms. ”

When the Sea City was founded, the first author to start writing the Cthulhu Mythos had not yet been born, so it is impossible for this mythological system to exist in the first place.

Ymir can think so, either there is a problem with his cognition, or there is a problem with his memory.

What chills my heart is that these problems don't seem to come from him, but something else has imposed on him.

I casually asked, "Twenty-four Kingdoms?" ”

Ymir replied with a frown: "It is an old book sealed in the Haiting Library, when I was young, this book was widely circulated in the circle of nobles, but later Haiting sealed it as a **, for unknown reasons." ”

I folded my arms and fell into deep thought.

Ymir immediately interrupted my thoughts with his indistinguishable voice: "I used to think that the King of Yellow would be impossible to defeat, but now it's different, we have you. ”

"Don't expect too much from me, I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know what it's capable of."

"Okay, let's talk about something practical, what do you want from me?"

If you tell Ymir that I just want to help you, and I don't intend to get anything from you, he will think that you have bad intentions, and you will help him, and give him a chance to repay the favor, and a person like him can only be friends with you if he does not owe you a favor.

So I said I don't want to deal with this kind of person, I'm tired!

I told Ymir that, first of all, I needed him to live, and that he could be stable only if he lived, and only if the market was stable enough to accommodate my long-term interests; Secondly, I have a big business in my hands right now, which requires the joint efforts of the three major order factions to complete it, and the reason why I deliberately approached the three leaders of the order faction, including Imir, is also to prepare for future business; Finally, I need Ymir to make a couple of no-man's lands in the surface world.

I only helped Ymir once, but I was able to get three benefits from him, and Imir was not angry, but very happy.

Because then he owes me not a favor, but I owe him.

In his heart, I owe him a favor, and he will be able to suppress me in the future, in fact, he himself does not know, from now on, not only will he not press me, but he will also obey me.
