"Devil, dead?" Marcus was stunned at Glenn's words. He had just thought of countless possibilities for his headache, but he didn't expect that the illness that afflicted him was due to the death of the devil. Subconsciously, he believed King Cui's statement, and this gave rise to another question, "Why do I have a headache when the devil dies?"

According to common sense, after the death of the Devil, the original owner of wisdom, what he left behind became completely ownerless. Since it is an ownerless thing, it is understandable that Marcus, a thief who was helpless when the original owner was there, has it. There is no reason why the devil can use stolen wisdom while he is alive and be harmed by the devil after he dies. This logically doesn't make sense.

But behind the gate called magic, many things just go against common sense, and Atwood shook the antlers off his head and shook off a few leaves. "That's just the way it is. How you got this wisdom from the devil, we don't know. But what we do know is that your soul is not enough to carry this wisdom. And this is the crux of your headache, your pain does not come from within the skull, it is your soul that is warning you because of the excessive load. ”

"Warning?" Marcus was confused by the word. He wanted to scratch his chin to ease the confusion, which he had done as a child, but when he touched the bottom of his face, he remembered that he was now a mushroom, and mushrooms normally had no jaws.

The gaffe of the King's Hand went unnoticed by the other two, and the Emerald King's body shuttled back and forth between the branches and leaves, as if this was the only way to calm himself down as much as possible. "That's right, it's a warning. The mystery of the soul is more difficult than magic, and even Atwood and I can't fully understand the process of your illness. What is certain, however, is that the wisdom of the devil is now slowly and unstoppably integrated into your soul. This integration is different from what you have held and used before, it will destroy the harmony of your soul, and the headache is only the first manifestation of this destruction. ”

"And what will it end up with?" Marcus looked up and tried to catch up with Glenn, but it was in vain. The speed of the latter has exceeded the boundaries of visual capture. However, Marcus didn't really want to see King Emerald's posture clearly, he just wanted to use this way to make the other party quickly tell him what he wanted to know most.

"It's hard to say. The Green Staff's words caused the King's Hand to withdraw its gaze, turning its attention from the foliage above to the hairy creature. The old elf shook the wooden staff in his hand and tried to make a thought appearance, but all of his expressions were obscured by thick hair, making it difficult to read, "In my guess, there are two most likely outcomes at the moment. ”

As he spoke, Atwood held out a fat finger, "First, your soul is not enough to support this foreign thing, it will be damaged or even damaged. As a result, you will become a state of physical and mental asynchrony, and in human terms, you will become an idiot. Or worse, your body is still alive, but your will has dissipated, your shell has become a cage that imprisons your broken soul, and even death has become a luxury. ”

"The second possibility is that your soul is stronger than we predicted, and it can accept the wisdom of the devil and even make it a real part of yourself through running-in. Of course, this may cost something, and the wisdom you will gain by losing some of your memories will be incomplete. But that's already the best ending. It's just..."

"It's just what?" Mushroom's face has no blood vessels, so no one knows exactly how ugly Marcus's face was when he said this. But judging from his trembling voice, the intense fear had firmly grasped his spine, crawling coldly down the bone marrow to his brain. The first possibility proposed by the old elf was absolutely unacceptable to him, so for now he could only put his hope on the second option. Marcus wondered what else he might be up to besides taking the risk of losing his memory.

"It's just that the soul changes very slowly, you know, this is probably what sets us apart from demons and demons, those who come to the abyss can always easily change the appearance of their souls. But we can't, which means we can't say for sure how long it will take you to complete this fusion. Maybe it's a few days, maybe it's a few years, maybe maybe it's not done until the end of your life. Atwood said with some helplessness in his tone, because if Marcus wanted to believe in the second possibility, then his headache would not need to be cured, and he would not be able to be cured.

In fact, this is the green rod is too worried, in just a few days, Marcus has been greatly affected by this violent headache, not to mention that he will have to spend the rest of his life in this pain, even if the old elf clearly tells him that he only needs to endure it for another year, I am afraid that the hand of the king will go crazy.

"Actually, there is another possibility. The Emerald King's voice came from among the branches overhead, "If we can guide your soul in other ways, speed up the progress of this fusion, and protect it from the side, then you have a good chance of getting the Devil's Legacy in its entirety." But do you really want this legacy?"

"What do you mean by that?" Marcus was confused by Glenn, of course he wanted the wisdom of the devil, if he didn't have this extraordinary thinking ability, what kind of person would he Marcus have?But given that the other party is the ruler of this space, the hand of the king has not been impulsive enough to directly confront the other party, he used a plausible question, this way to cover up his dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, King Cuiwang didn't understand the meaning of the question, he took it as an ordinary question. So the existence hiding behind the leaves patiently explained, "The devil's things are not something that humans can use at will. If you choose to accept it, it is tantamount to going along with the devil. We can't be sure that the devil you traded with is really dead, and if he doesn't, then you're giving away your soul for nothing. And even if he does die, the wisdom of the devil contains their thoughts, and you will most likely gradually assimilate with them, and eventually, the dead devil will be reborn in you. ”

Marcus was silent. He was measuring the price he was going to pay and the rewards he would receive. The mushroom man's body trembled with tension, apparently in a violent collision of thoughts. This puzzled Glenn in the treetops, and he turned his gaze to Atwood, and said in a language that only they understood, "Why, would he rather become a devil than give up what is not his?"

"Admittedly, the factor you are talking about is one of the keys. Greenstaff nodded, and replied in the same language, "But I don't think that applies to him." You know, if a person's heart is full of desires, then what kind of posture will he appear in a dream, and into what we see, this human named Marcus does not. The reason why he finds it difficult to choose, apart from greed, I think is out of responsibility. In his kingdom, he has to take on great responsibilities, which makes it impossible for him to let go of the power of the devil. ”

"Responsibility?" King Emerald seemed to tilt his head, as if thinking about the meaning of the word. And then some of them are not so sure that they say, "He is not responsible for his country, he is not their king." ”

"Yes, he's not. But he was loyal to the king, and even if the king was dead, he could not let himself retreat. Atwood said and glanced at the humans he had brought with him, with a slight regret in his eyes, "Maybe that's why there are so few humans in this world, they like to bind themselves too much." ”

"Like another human you brought? It's the first time I've seen someone who turns to stone when he enters this world. Glenn said cheerfully.

"Well, actually, I thought he was going to turn into a piece of iron. ”
