Chapter 50: Contract Signing
Noah's expression was calm, and he was not anxious because of the sudden vision around him, because he knew that the current situation, anxiety could not be solved, he did not know what kind of creature this little octopus called Nightmare was, only knew that it was devouring itself, and there was no solution to this dilemma.
The black ink spread quickly, and in a matter of moments, most of the pure white space was polluted.
However, Noah didn't feel anything.
"You've started devouring my soul?" Noah asked, somewhat uncertain.
"Yes. The octopus replied calmly.
"Why don't I feel anything?" Noah wondered.
The tentacles of the octopus moved slightly, "This is the first time I've devoured it, and I don't know what it's like to be devoured. ”
Noah nodded and said nothing more, and in a quiet wait, black finally covered all white. Noah suddenly felt a little in a trance, and the next moment, he found himself in a mountain forest, surrounded by towering trees, and countless precious herbs growing freely.
"Your soul is about to be devoured by me, and before it is destroyed, you will see my whole life, and I will see yours. Noah's ears sounded the indifferent voice of the little octopus.
Noah put his mind down and no longer did anything to defend himself, he didn't feel that there was anything to hide about his past, his past was just killing, killing, and killing again, and when he didn't kill people, he was waiting or on the way to kill people, there was nothing to see.
But the past of this nightmare made Noah very interested, in front of Noah, there is a huge ancient tree, the ancient tree is in the sky, the top has disappeared into the clouds. This ancient tree is the tallest tree here, but it is not very special, because the surrounding area is full of such ancient trees, and these ancient trees are all towering and majestic.
In the midst of this, Noah felt the surging magic, which turned into rivers that flowed between the trees. A little octopus, floating among the trees, when touching the stream where the magic gathers, the little octopus directly swallows the river, then look at those little octopuses, Noah wants to come forward to look more carefully, but he finds that he can't do it, he is like a moviegoer, can't do something subjectively.
Alternating between black and white, the little octopus here has been absorbing the magic power, during which Noah has been watching, although a whole day has passed, Noah can't feel the passage of time, as if it has only passed in an instant.
As soon as the picture turned, Noah found himself at the top of the tree, where the clouds were shrouded in mist and hazy, a flower the size of a human hung low, and there was clear water flowing inside, and a young octopus was lying quietly in it.
The water was rippling, and the little octopus broke through the water, flew in the air for a moment, and fell towards the tree, believing that it would not be long before it met the octopus in the tree.
"It's a nostalgic image for me, when this place was not invaded by humans, and we were not called a nightmare. ”
"What's your original name?" asked Noah.
"We are nameless. ”
Noah nodded and stopped talking, the picture in front of it kept changing, but from beginning to end, it was the leisurely life of these octopuses, there seemed to be no natural predators here, and there was enough magic for them not to think about how to survive.
But as Nightmare himself said, the state of existence here has been incomparably absent for a long time, and when humans notice this, the war will inevitably spread.
When powerful magic falls, swift humans rush into the ancient forest, everything changes, trees are falling, octopuses are caught, and the place is heading for destruction.
The octopus, which was lucky not to be caught, scattered and escaped.
Crossing the dark abyss, walking through the barren wasteland, and through the muddy swamps, the Nightmare finally came to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
The picture suddenly began to speed up, and in front of Noah's eyes, a green wolf appeared, and the nightmare invaded its body, but did not devour it, and the two were in a state of symbiosis.
In this green wolf, the nightmare survived for thirty years, and thirty years is already the limit for the green wolf, the green wolf died, and the nightmare parasitized in the body of its offspring.
Generation, over the past hundred years, the nightmare has been asleep, and it has not interfered with the habits of the green wolf, allowing it to survive according to its instincts.
Even if the nightmare didn't take the initiative to do anything, the speed at which it absorbed magic power also made the parasitic green wolf stronger, and the number of green wolves increased, gradually occupying several mountains, and the green wolf was the king of the mountain.
A few months ago, the green wolves that occupied several mountains attracted a group of powerful humans, and overnight, the hundred-year accumulation collapsed in an instant, a large number of green wolves were killed, and the nightmare was awakened, leading a small number of green wolves to escape.
As we drove eastward, the number of green wolves dwindled, and eventually there was only one left.
As the head wolf, the nightmare parasitic green wolf fights the most, and it has long been when the oil runs out of light, parasitic for a hundred years, the nightmare has long had feelings for these green wolves, and it has spent a lot of effort to maintain the vitality of the green wolf.
Originally, it was just starting over, but hungry, the green wolf made the wrong decision.
The green wolf drove the wild wolf and attacked a group of humans, and the surging magic made the nightmare decide that it was going to take the only remaining green wolf away.
This human race had a very powerful, brief magical encounter, and the Nightmare was defeated, and he gave up his body to survive.
Looking at the green wolf on the ground, which had no fur, the nightmare was neither sad nor joyful.
Human beings, after all, are creatures that cannot afford to be offended, and this impression has deepened in the nightmare's heart for hundreds of years.
Controlling the crow, Nightmare searched all the way to find a magical beast that could parasitize, but unfortunately, it found nothing, and eventually, it came to this small village and chose Noah.
The picture returns to nothingness, the heavens and the earth seem to rotate, and Noah feels like he has entered a whirlpool.
When the shaking stopped, he returned to the pitch-black space.
Looking at a hundred years in the blink of an eye, time is like a dream, looking at the nightmare floating quietly in front of him, Noah is puzzled, "You... Haven't devoured it yet?"
Nightmare frowned humanely, "Your soul, I can't seem to devour. ”
Noah blinked, "Do you want to try again?" Noah certainly didn't want his soul to be devoured, but he didn't let this nightmare die, and he didn't feel at ease.
Nightmare shook her head, "My strength is not enough to devour again. After a pause, Nightmare continued, "Would you like to sign a contract with me?"
"What do you mean?" asked Noah.
"Since you live with me, this is the only way to keep me alive at the moment. ”
"What if you don't sign a contract?" asked Noah.
The nightmare's expression has always been flat, and it seems that the current talk is not about its life or death.
"I will perish. ”
"What is the benefit of signing a contract with you?" Noah asked again.
"My magic will be shared with you, and the speed at which you absorb it will increase to the same level as mine. ”
Magic has always been a pain in Noah's heart, and the nightmare statement really touches his heart.
"What's the downside?" said Noah.
"The death of one of you will have a very great impact on the other, and there are some magic spells in the human race against this contract, and if your enemies want to kill you, I will be their breakthrough. ”
"No other harm?" Noah asked.
"Yes. ”
"Okay then, sign. Noah said, this is simply someone crying and shouting to give you money, there is not the slightest problem with this money, it is stupid not to take it, of course, Noah actually has other worries, but he has no way to "invite" this nightmare out of his spiritual world, it is better to establish a friendly relationship first.
A drop of black liquid poured out of Nightmare's forehead, different from the previous black liquids, this black liquid was very pure, black and clean, like the fine ink, which was delightful.
The liquid flew towards Noah, Noah reached out to catch it, and in an instant, the black liquid melted into Noah's fingertips, and Noah felt that there was something more in his body, but what it was elusive.
The space that had been dipped in black turned white again in an instant.
"The contract has been signed, I need to cultivate, you should leave. Nightmare said.
Behind Noah, there was suddenly an irresistible suction, just a trance, he opened his eyes and woke up, what entered his eyes was the blue sky, blinking, Noah was a little unhappy in his heart, and he had a feeling that he would be thrown off when he was used up.
