Chapter Eighty-Three: A Condition
"Li Jia" sat back in the chair with a blank expression.
Perhaps because it had been exposed, the book spirit completely gave up the intention of disguise, and was too lazy to exert any more strength to control the muscles, and sat there with only his eyes turning, looking like a puppet with a broken thread. He looked up after thinking for a while, like an inferior speaker, and asked without any emotional fluctuations, "Tell me first, how did you find out." ”
Xiao Chen sat down and leaned back, cocking Erlang's legs. He leaned slightly sideways, his hands staggered on his lap, his fingertips tapped lightly on the seam of his trousers, and he examined Shuling, "It's not important, you don't have a chance to come again and tell me about Li Jia's situation." ”
"Xiao Chen, I've read a lot of your memories. Shuling raised his head slightly and looked at him with slanted eyes, "Many people around you don't realize that you seem to be gentle and friendly, but you are actually a stubborn person like a stone. ”
"Thanks for the compliment. ”
"Stubbornness makes you strong, but powerful magicians tend to get lost in their control, but after so many years, I'm tired of feeling controlled. The book spirit said, pulling open the neckline of his shirt to reveal the position of his heart, "If you insist, you can try it with that sword." ”
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, he hated Li Jia's expression very much, such a stiff and funny demeanor was something Li Jia had never had. What a botched knock-off, he thought. He stood up and grasped the hilt of the Spark Sword with his hand.
The head of the book spirit was raised, and he looked righteous.
"Hmph, let's try it. Xiao Chen pulled out his sword, and his spiritual power penetrated into the sword body like seawater, causing it to burst into a scorching white flame. The magical flame caused the temperature in the room to rise sharply, and at the same time completely ignited the tension.
Shu Ling's face was indifferent, but a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to say that he would draw his sword when he drew his sword, where is this a magician's routine, it is simply the style of a berserker. The book spirit instinctively leaned back, pressing the front legs of the chair slightly up.
Nina also covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "My lord, what are you going to do?!"
Xiao Chen raised his sword high and slashed it down, but the target was not Li Jia, but the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" on the ground. I saw a flash of Bai Lian, and the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" made a loud "dang" sound, bursting out with a burst of colored light, and a corner of the book was neatly cut off, and the cut off part was instantly burned into flying ashes, and the cut surface close to the sword body was directly baked black. After the flame sword slashed through the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll", half of the sword body directly slashed into the ground made of thick wooden boards, turning the surrounding floor directly into coke.
"Bastard, are you crazy!" The moment the sword fell, Shu Ling jumped up and pounced on Xiao Chen, but because he couldn't control his body balance, he fell to the ground with a mouth of mud. He didn't care about the blood stains flowing between his lips and teeth, and crawled to the ground to "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll". However, Xiao Chen swept with his feet and kicked "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" under the bed like garbage.
Shu Ling knelt on the ground, his hands clenched into fists, looked at Xiao Chen with a hideous face, and roared: "This is the holy book of the 'Tower of Dreams'! How can you be like this! He has been passed down for thousands of years and has never been damaged! Such a treasure, you actually use a sword to chop it! You barbarian, bastard, cursed idiot!"
Xiao Chen pulled out his sword from the ground, bringing out some fine black dust, he looked at Shu Ling condescendingly and said, "I like your expression now. I'll ask again, what's going on with Li Jia now!"
"You!" said the book spirit in a hateful voice, "you won." ”
Later, Xiao Chen called Shi Hao and Ye Zi in, and Roger and the others continued to guard the door. Ye Zi and Shi Hao, one left and one right, stood on both sides of the book spirit, ready to deal with its abnormal movements at any time.
"Two souls trapped in one body, sinking in the ocean of the subconscious, the passage connecting the two bodies has been closed, and I don't know their current condition. "Shu Ling is much more honest now, and there is exhaustion in his voice.
"Then how did you judge Li Jia's success rate in treating Selinda at the beginning, and how sure are you of the real situation?" Xiao Chen asked.
"No one knows for sure about magic. Shu Ling avoided Xiao Chen's forced gaze, lowered his head and said, "However, according to my judgment, with Li Jia's ability, the possibility of saving Selinda ......"
He paused for a moment and glanced at Xiao Chen's "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" on his lap, "It shouldn't be more than one percent." ”
"Damn!" Xiao Chen raised his fist and punched "Li Jia" in the face, Xiao Chen had great strength, "Li Jia" stumbled and fell off the chair, half of his face immediately swollen, the corner of his mouth was torn, and blood flowed straight down.
"Senior, you, you! This body is Li Jia's. Ye Zi exclaimed.
"But it's the book spirit that hurts now. ”
Xiao Chen carried the book spirit back to the chair, and the book spirit collapsed in the chair circle like a lump of mud. He had never felt real pain, and he was suddenly slapped in the face by Xiao Chen, and his tears flowed out of the pain. He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, then covered his face with his hands, looked at Xiao Chen fearfully, and wanted to say something, but finally saw Xiao Chen's eyes and closed his mouth wisely.
"Listen!" Xiao Chen stretched out a finger and pointed at the book spirit's nose, "I know that you were not afraid of pain or hurt when you were a spirit, but unfortunately you are now a 'human', and as a sensitive and fragile human being, there is a lot of pain waiting for you to endure." ”
"I'll cooperate!Don't beat me again!" Shuling said aggrievedly.
Xiao Chen clenched his fists, his knuckles crackled, and he said, "Okay." Now, I want you to use every means you can think of to reopen the passage so that I can connect to their spiritual world. Don't play any tricks. Otherwise, both of your bodies will be gone. ”
"I have one last condition!" Shu Ling's voice was hurried, for fear that Xiao Chen would make another move, "When I'm done with this, you'll find me a magician's body." I never want to go back to the book. It's a win-win! After leaving me, "The Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Knowledge" is a complete waste book, but as long as I hold it, it will have the same power as before. Come to think of it, this is the book that laid the foundation of the Tower of Dreams, and it will be much more useful to you for me to live and control this holy book than it is to die. ”
"Do what you have to do first. Xiao Chen glared at him and said.
Shu Ling held the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" in one hand, knelt beside Selinda, and used the other hand to volley above Selinda's forehead. A complex magic array gradually took shape in the air. The magic array shone with a faint colorful light, and the words shaped like seal scripts were connected by lines, constantly flickering.
"We didn't know you were on your way with such a valuable treasure. I'm glad I didn't let outsiders know about it now, otherwise we'd have had a lot of fun if we were to be robbed and looted. Shi Hao said, "Why don't you leave it at school?"
"The school's meaning is to let me run in with "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll", and go back to preside over the contemplation ceremony, and this book is a treasure, but also a temptation and danger. Xiao Chen shook his head, and the other two immediately understood this terrible consequence.
"Fortunately, if something like Shuling is allowed to take people's bodies in school, no one may be able to find out. Ye Zi said.
At this time, the book spirit had already finished drawing the array. He turned his head to Xiao Chen and said, "It's going well, now I'm starting to inject strength, and then it's up to you." ”
"I have done what I promised you, and you should remember to fulfill your promise. ”
"I can only promise you a temporary body, and you either accept it or you have nothing. Xiao Chen walked to the window, pointed to the gatekeeper at the door of the Earl's Castle and said, "Your temporary body is there." ”
As if in response to his words, a few dogs barked from the porter.
——————————————————
Selinda helped Li Jia and let him lean against the wall, Li Jia tilted her head, as if she had fallen asleep because she was too tired, and she was silent.
Selinda looked around at the castle that was in disarray, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. Also opening a book, Li Jia became an even more powerful mage, and she almost lost her life.
"Li Jia, Li Jia, do you know this kind of pain? If you knew, would you forgive me? or...... Have you forgiven me?" she looked at the unconscious Li Jia and said softly, "Even if I fall into the abyss, I don't plan to ask anyone for help. There's no luxury in expecting you to be here. But here you are. Why are you so ......? Stupid, stupid enough to make me uncomfortable?"
She gently stroked Li Jia's face with the back of her hand, which was very unreal, like touching a statue. She couldn't feel his warmth, and she couldn't convey her tenderness, which made her hate the place even more.
"Now that I'm awake, we'll definitely get out. She whispered in his ear.
However, at this time, Li Jia had a strange change. On his body, small colored dots floated out one after another. The dot looked only the size of a sesame seed, like bubbles in water, slowly floating upward, as if Li Jia's body was dissolving.
Selinda grabbed one of Li Jia's hands and found that as these points of light escaped, Li Jia's fingers were changing to translucent.
"It's ...... It's the same symptom as I was, he's gone! His consciousness is starting to die!" Selinda muttered to herself.
"Li Jia, wake up!" But no matter how Selinda pushed him and called him, Li Jia still didn't react like before.
He had just filled my body with his spiritual powers, and now, the only thing I could do was do it. Selinda carefully recalled the feeling when Li Jia repaired his body, leaned over and pounced on Li Jia's body, and pushed the force in her body backwards. However, unlike the situation just now, Selinda's own body coincided with Li Jia, and strangely turned into a ball of light with Li Jia.
