Chapter Eighty-Three: What the Demon God Wants
Black swirls emerged one by one, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted, varying in size, and ink-like liquids were distributed around the whirlpools, slowly spinning.
Countless tentacles poked out of the vortex, waving in mid-air, like a terrifying monster trying to emerge from another dimension.
The strange scene made everyone present tense their heartstrings, only Nellos looked like a heartless uncle, holding his hands on his chest and watching this scene.
As a feeling of prying eyes sprung up in my mind, eyeballs of different sizes kept escaping outward in the black whirlpool like bubbles floating up in the water.
This is the strangest of all the demon gods, Hermeus Mora, the embodiment of the demon god of knowledge and destiny in the world, it is rare for a demon god like Mora to appear in an inhuman form, and this indescribable appearance makes many weak-willed mortals fall into madness just by touching it.
All eyes converged on Keshia's body for the next moment.
Even the souls that Keshia had become powerful by absorbing a large number of dragon souls couldn't help but feel small under such a gaze, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.
"I know you, the last of the Dragonborn," Mora's voice came from the undulating bubbles of the mire, "fate has destined you and me to meet, I can give you the knowledge you crave, and you only need to bring back the betrayer Milak for me." ”
"Hey, did you come to the door and say it was fate?" Zhang Lin laughed disdainfully.
"Mortal, you are provoking a Lord of Annihilation, who gave you such courage?" Hearing Zhang Lin's words, Mora's unwavering voice fluctuated slightly, and then he paused for a moment, "Hey, it turned out to be a believer in Noktunal, don't think that with that guy's protection, you can say such offensive words at will." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Lin suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a contract with the thief patronage goddess who was always stolen, and it seemed that he had to take the time to fulfill the following, but the next moment his thoughts were interrupted.
Several tentacles came out of the pages of the Demon Sutra directly and stabbed towards Zhang Lin.
"Whew-"
The sharp tentacles collided with the holy light shield on Zhang Lin's body, and there was a corrosive sound, and as the shield was gradually melting, those tentacles also showed signs of melting like mollusks that had encountered salt.
The tentacles all retracted and did not continue to attack.
"A unique form of energy, you have successfully piqued my interest in you, and your knowledge will have a place in my field." As he spoke, Mora's voice was calm, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.
All the knowledge that Mora has gathered is limited to this world, and the Light is clearly different from the energy system of this world.
However, Zhang Lin was not worried, it could be seen from the confrontation just now that just the incarnation of the demon god in front of him could not help him, and it was impossible for the other party to cross the border to chase other worlds.
And Mora's attention to Zhang Lin has only increased a little, and his main target is still the Dragonborn, "You and Milak are destined to be left in the world by one of them, this is what I, the demon god who saw through fate, foresaw it, just like you destroyed Alduin, that is your fate." ”
Hearing fate, Kexia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she remembered that when she met Zhang Lin for the first time, Zhang Lin used the same fateful words, so she turned her head and looked directly at Zhang Lin.
"Ever since I appeared with you, the so-called fate has changed." Zhang Lin put it to Kexia's ear and whispered.
The hot breath exhaled from Zhang Lin's mouth in her ears made Dragonborn's face flush slightly, but hearing this made her feel reassured.
"So, is it just to bring Milac back?" Keshia asked calmly.
"That's it, Milak betrayed me, she needs to pay for her actions, and you, the most suitable person, as long as you can bring her back to me, I will give you more knowledge and power." Mora's words remained unwavering, and he couldn't hear that Mirak's betrayal had angered him.
"Of course, Milak once traded great power for being my servant, and you may not be enough to defeat her at this time," he said, his bubble-like eyeballs suddenly all gathered to one side, staring at the two Stones and their daughters on the other side of the hall, "You can give me Skar's secret, and I can give you the same power." ”
The faces of the father and daughter who were targeted by Mora suddenly turned pale, and Mora's words seemed to see the two as fish on the chopping board.
Patting his daughter's hand, Stone sighed, he was not afraid of death, if he could bring permanent peace to the village, it would not be a big deal for him to give up this old life.
"I refuse!" Kexia glanced at Stone and his daughter, and responded coldly, "They're not bargaining chips. ”
"Courage is commendable, but the condition remains," Mora's eyes returned to the middle, "I look forward to the outcome between you and Milak, remember, just bring her to me, you will have unimaginable power and knowledge beyond the reach of mortals, I am waiting for you." ”
Mora's eyes quickly dimmed, and the tentacles all retracted, and soon, the black vortex in mid-air disappeared into the hall, and the twisted characters fell neatly back onto the pages, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion.
Nellos stepped forward and closed the Demon Sutra, and he didn't say a word halfway through the whole process, and after rewrapping the book, he spoke: "Then, I will take my leave." ”
The moment the door was opened, a gust of cold wind swept in, Stone breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat slipped from the corners of his forehead, and it took a while before he said, "Thank you." ”
Kexia nodded and looked at Zhang Lin with a serious face, "Mora has a problem. ”
"Well," Zhang Lin affirmed Kashia's judgment, "He didn't want you to bring Mirak back to punish the betrayal of his servants. ”
"So, what is it about Milak that deserves so much attention from him?" Kashia muttered quietly.
"What else can there be but knowledge?" Serana shrugged, saying that there was no need for Kashia to think too much.
"That seems to be the case," Kashia put her arms around Serana's neck, "You're still smart." ”
"I won't be happy even if you praise me," Serana didn't push Kashia away, and then whispered, "As a thank you, will you let me drink a little of your blood?" ”
Hearing the latter sentence, Kashia blushed, and then nodded, "I'll talk about it when I sleep." ”
Not paying attention to the interaction between the two, Zhang Lin lowered his head and said, "I'm getting more and more interested in Mirak now, what is it about knowledge that makes Mora so eager to get her back?" ”
