Chapter 1: Ten Years
Warriors kill people, no matter how ruthless they are, no matter how weird their moves are, after all, they are slashed with a knife, pierced with a sword, and bombarded with a fist, these are the abilities that can be seen, touched, and real.
Witchcraft kills people, evil and unpredictable, ever-changing, many people die many times without knowing how they died, obviously they still have the upper hand one moment, the victory is in hand, and the next moment they die inexplicably...... It's like Agni. When the mutant green mud dived into the sea of ice and fished up his corpse, Zhu Peng squeezed his head out of his chest, and the remaining half of his cheeks still had an unbelievable look.
Wizard spells are complex and changeable, and wizards often have such temperaments, and the unknown usually means dangerous and terrifying.
Let Arthurs melt a snow cave with flames, Zhu Peng took out a bottle of dark purple potion from the storage ring and poured it into his mouth, after a moment of the entrance of the potion, his body spread a halo of light, and the scapula of the shattered right arm quickly reorganized and healed, and at the same time, Zhu Peng's spiritual power is also recovering rapidly, if it is an ordinary legendary wizard, even if the body muscles and bones are broken, this bottle of potion is enough to regain life.
For Zhu Peng, the physical strength is too strong, and it takes more energy to recover, a bottle of precious legendary elixir is only to recover about thirty percent of the injury, but it is enough, and Zhu Peng does not dare to swallow too much of this elixir.
"Arthurs is guarding the door, if an enemy demigod comes...... Self-destructing. ”
With the most powerful demon in his regular state, he guarded the entrance of the snow cave, and Zhu Peng was extracting the soul of Agni Flame in it, under normal circumstances, the soul of the person was scattered, and the speed was amazing, if the soul trap was not set up in advance, there was basically no possibility of extracting it in the later stage.
But as a demigod, Agni Er has extremely strong vitality, if he hadn't slammed himself on the top of his head and killed himself, even if Zhu Peng cut off half of his neck with swordsmanship, he wouldn't be able to kill him.
With the demigod honor, he was killed by his own killer enemy with a legendary rank, and this demigod fire venerable's full of resentment also pulled his soul and refused to disperse.
If he really admits gambling and loses, he is the kind of person who has no complaints, and Zhu Peng will no longer be able to extract his soul.
Taking out the wand of the "Wrath of the Lich King" and reciting an extremely lengthy incantation, the demigod remnant soul of Agni Flame was squeezed out little by little by Zhu Peng with magical power, and finally the dark red soul full of fire elemental fierceness and irritability was cast into a high-level soul crystal.
In the process of completing all this, Zhu Peng could clearly feel that if he used it as an auxiliary soul to be promoted to a demigod wizard in the future, he would get an extremely high bonus in terms of fire spells, and even if the operation was good, he could also obtain many mysteries of Purgatory Island martial arts.
In the God Eater system, every time he is promoted to the first order, the soul of a high-level powerhouse is required as an auxiliary soul, which is an extremely difficult level for every God Eater, but Zhu Peng is best at death-fighting because he has a part-time Dan Master, so it is not difficult for him to obtain auxiliary souls when he is promoted to the first, second, and third orders.
Especially when he was promoted to the third rank of the legendary wizard, Zhu Peng used the earth, water, fire, and scenery to form the dark soul with five kinds of auxiliary souls, and promoted to the rank of the legendary great wizard, and obtained his own great purification and bonus effects in terms of magic power.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Peng is getting stronger and stronger in the later period, all his auxiliary souls are hunted by himself independently, and unlike other God Eaters who join forces with others, and even obtain auxiliary souls through purchase, his magic power is refined to the extreme, huge and vast.
Zhu Peng's Dou Qi is of the third order, and the special effects of each level of Dou Qi are the first-order acceleration, the second-order forced penetration, and the third-order legendary special effect: forced traversal.
And its magic power is the third order, and the special effects of each level of spell casting are the first-order mana reserve, the second-order mana recovery, and the third-order legendary specialty: super magic burning.
If there was no mana reserve that was much higher than the total amount of mana of the same level of wizards, Zhu Peng would not have needed to think too much about mana in battle, and the hunting and selection of auxiliary souls was a very important part of the solid foundation. Because the Shadow Mask Meditation Method itself has some swords that go off the rails, it is even more intolerable to take too many tricks.
“...... It's better to use it to make cards or bonuses on Arthurs, and it's best to choose the soul of a spellcaster for my fourth-order auxiliary soul, otherwise it may lead to an overall imbalance in the entire cultivation system. "Put away the soul crystal containing the soul of the demigod of Agni and the demigod, Zhu Peng began to deal with the body of this demigod Fire Venerable, the high-level powerhouse is a bit similar to a pig, and after killing it, the whole body is a treasure, especially for a legendary dark wizard like Zhu Peng who is proficient in necromancy.
Outside the snow cave, the frost danced and fluttered, and inside the snow cave, Zhu Peng took out the knife, hammer and scissors, and began to comprehensively dispose of Agni Er's corpse, and he even repaired the other party's half-shattered head. The purpose, of course, is not to sort out the remains of this Fire Venerable of Purgatory Island.
........................
At the same time, on the battlefield of the five demigods hundreds of miles away, the Glacier Continent was almost crumbling and disintegrating from the aftermath of the battle.
Li Jingxuan's toughness does not need to be repeated, but even he is out of the candle dragon's true body state due to heavy injuries at this moment, and his left eye is even picked out by the sect master of Purgatory Island, Li Szt, with a fast sword, and Li Szt's cultivation realm is higher than that of the other demigods present.
Different from Huang Yubing, Parsha's aging, fighting spirit, reaction speed, and overall degradation of fighting spirit, and different from the ghost king Chi Yilie, Li Fei, and Huozun Agni Huo's demigod primary, Liszt is a mid-level demigod at the peak, and his reaction speed is faster than Li Jingxuan's line.
However, unlike the demigods crushing the legend, the battle between the demigods, the faster reaction speed is of course a great advantage, but the life and death struggle is more of a test of other aspects, which is a multi-level consideration of the comprehensive strength of both sides. For example, Li Jingxuan's Hell Fighting Qi is stronger than Liszt in terms of purity, strength, and control, but this is a purification bonus from the Dangang realm...... Recognized by the wizarding world as the strongest warrior of the "Ancestor of Danshi" in the Earth Era, Li Jingxuan's bonus in this regard is of course extremely high.
is not only the power of the fighting spirit, the subtlety of the knife technique, but even Li Jingxuan restrained Liszt's fast sword attack with an amazing telepathic ability, just like the ability to see through the future.
At first, Li Szt thought that the other party's powerful dragon pupil was causing trouble, and as the sect master of Purgatory Island, he was also very aware of the other party's dragon vein bloodline, so he stabbed Li Jingxuan with an eyeball at the cost of a few secret moves.
But later Liszt found out that this was not the case, even if Li Jingxuan's eyes were closed, he still had the ability of an unpredictable prophet, and his ability to restrain the assassins from breaking out Chi Yilie and Parsha was extremely ferocious.
For a while, although it was three to two, but many times it was Liszt who attacked Li Jingxuan alone, and after a long time, the internal injuries in Liszt's body were already extremely heavy, and every time he fought against the opponent's fierce and abnormal fighting spirit, Liszt felt that there was magma flowing in his body and blood vessels.
The only thing that restricted Li Jingxuan from letting go and killing and cutting off the enemy's head was Huang Yubing, who was beside him to help him, Li Jingxuan had an advantage over Liszt, and neither the Ghost King nor Parsha could plot against him, so the two assassination grandmasters of Purgatory Island locked the target on Huang Yubing.
Li Jingxuan's unpredictable prophetic ability aimed at the enemy obviously cannot spread to his teammates, and the assassination of the ghost king Chi Yilie and the inheritance elder Parsha against Li Jingxuan will be seen through by him at the first time, and even set up a counter-slash, but for the assassination of Huang Yubing, Li Jingxuan's reaction speed is obviously slower.
So in a short period of time, the five people on both sides formed a stalemate, Li Jingxuan attacked Li Szt, and the two assassin grandmasters of Purgatory Island assassinated Huang Yubing, and Li Jingxuan couldn't help but save Huang Yubing, not to mention that this Great Elder of the Vientiane Sect came to help him, even from the perspective of the battle situation on the spot, Huang Yubing did not die to contain the two demigods, and as soon as Huang Yubing died, Li Jingxuan himself was one to three, at least one to two, even if he could successfully kill Li Szt.
(Damn, if I let go of the killing, I have the confidence to survive in the end, but they deliberately drag it out like this, and I can't break the deadlock.) After the most intense energy hedge, the demigod true bodies of the five demigods present all collapsed after appearing, Li Jingxuan, Huang Yubing, Li Szt and others were fighting in the snowstorm at this moment, and the glacier was fighting with their bodies like a legendary enhanced version, but the dangerous situation in the battle, the consciousness and connotation revealed were difficult for ordinary legendary powerhouses to achieve.
Of course, the people on the side of Purgatory Island will choose to delay and wait for help when the situation is dangerous and difficult, because it is a high probability event that Agni Flame will overturn and kill Zhu Peng, the deputy sect leader of the Chinese Warrior Association, and just now the Ghost King Chi Yilie was even more distracted to pass a message to his old friend, and when his Fighting Spirit returned, Agni Flame was already in a state of full strength.
In the entanglement, Li Jingxuan tried to break the game several times, but was forced back by the three of them on Purgatory Island, although Liszt's internal injuries in the front were getting heavier and heavier, but Huang Yubing was also killed by Chi Yilie and Parsha and was sweating and frightened.
After all, he is dying, even if he is a demigod, his physical and mental decline is not serious, and even in terms of physiognomy, Huang Yubing looks better than Li Jingxuan's complexion, but as a warrior's determination, fierceness, and determination, these are slowly degrading, especially in the fight with the strong of the same level, the performance is particularly obvious and clear.
Of course, this is only relative, in fact, Huang Yubing's performance is not outstanding, but it is also not a collapse, but in many cases he chooses to be more conservative, unlike Li Jingxuan or Zhu Peng, who rely on titanium poles to practice, and the dragon scale physique is hard to pass.
In this demigod war, the situation turned around in the end, and the winner still fell on the two sides who signed the gambling contract before, Agni Huo Er came alive, four to two, Li Jingxuan and Huang Yubing were difficult to escape their lives, and it was likely to be the end of desperately replacing one or two.
Zhu Peng overturned Agni Flame, and in terms of the current situation, Purgatory Island at least did not have the ability to take down Li Jingxuan and Huang Yubing, that is, they lost a lot, and they lost a lot.
Suddenly, there was a hot wind blowing between the glaciers in the extreme north, Li Jingxuan's brows tightened, and Huang Yubing's face changed even more, and sure enough, in the next moment, a ball of blazing red light wrapped in flames like the rising sun flew quickly, although no one could be seen in the chaotic fighting flames, but who else could it be except for the Fire Venerable Flame of Purgatory Island?
"Li Jingxuan, I'll make a wine glass from your head, heh!"
Without looking back, feeling the breath of Agni Er, Liszt raised the sword weapon in his hand, the black flames around him were blazing, and he no longer ignored the injury and rushed to attack with a sword, at the same time, Parsha and Chi Yilie also felt that the overall situation was decided, and the victory was in hand, and they also began to attack together, which made Li Jingxuan and Huang Yubing pressure increase sharply for a while.
Of course, Liszt and the others could also feel that Agni Flame's breath was a little turbid and unstable, but this was a dying counterattack by the deputy sect master of the Chinese Warrior Association, and this reason almost didn't need to be thought about, it would naturally come to mind, so when Liszt was hugged by Agni Flame from behind, the expression on his face was a capital "stunned".
Seeing the red flames that were getting stronger and stronger around Agni Flame, the ghost king Chi Yilie, who was aware of it, finally reacted.
"Sect Master be careful, this is a corpse puppet, it's a corpse spirit puppet technique!"
(Didn't you TM say it earlier!?)
Boom!!Boom!!!boom!!!!!
When Zhu Peng used the corpse explosion technique to remotely detonate all the energy in Agni Er's body, it was too late to say anything.
A trumpet blazing mushroom cloud rose up from the polar glacier, the reason why it was a trumpet was because Zhu Peng's legendary-level corpse explosion technique could not completely attract all the energy in the demigod's body, if Zhu Peng cultivated the necromancy to the demigod level, it would even produce a chain amplification reaction of 1+1 far greater than 2.
Even if it is a legendary corpse explosion technique, with the corpse of a demigod who has just died as the carrier of the technique, the lethality under the close-range explosion is enough, not to mention that Li Jingxuan, a madman, is still attacking with a knife against the flames, ordinary demigods will definitely die under such a combined attack and can no longer die, but Liszt is worthy of being a suzerain-level figure, and a life-saving secret technique is really endless, when the blood and water are in the sky, a night shadow instantly swept out, and at the same time, there was a short low shout: "Go!"
In fact, there is no need for Liszt to explain anymore, Parsha and Chi Yilie almost ran faster than their boss, and Liszt, the sect master of Purgatory Island, was really tired.
However, Huang Yubing came to the spirit at this moment, the sword mangs around him exploded, the jade sword in his hand was raised, and the ten thousand sword qi burst out like a sect to chase and kill the two Purgatory Island assassin demigods who made him angry, although Li Jingxuan didn't like to fight this kind of battle, but after all, he still intercepted one of them, and with Huang Yubing as the cooperation, he slashed off the head of the ghost king of Purgatory Island, Chi Yilie.
Originally, as a Dark Dou Qi Grand Master and a demigod-level figure, Chi Yilie's ability to escape was very strong, but when he turned into a shadow, the space ring on Chi Yilie's finger suddenly burst into a circle of strong fluctuations.
Under the noses of Li Jingxuan and Huang Yubing, there was such a mistake, and there was still running, after Li Jingxuan killed him, a round of huge scythes suddenly flew out of Chi Yilie's space ring, and it flew in one direction with a whirring sound.
At the same time, in the snow cave hundreds of miles away, Zhu Peng looked at the final battle result in the crystal ball and exhaled a long breath.
"This time, the battle between the two major martial arts sects has finally come to an end. Leaning between the ice and snow, Zhu Peng covered his cheeks with his palms, and gradually laughed out loud in extreme exhaustion.
It is indeed as Zhu Peng thought, after Purgatory Island lost three demigods and was heavily punished by the Wizard Academy of the Dead Tower, the entire sect almost completely collapsed, and they were no longer able to maintain the colonial branches distributed in various worlds, so they had to start to shrink their sphere of influence in an all-round way.
Prosperity and decline, success or failure, at the time of decline, there were already countless large and small sects that beat the water dogs, especially the Dark Martial Sect like Purgatory Island, which was extremely cruel and exploitative, once the power began to be suppressed, the middle and lower forces in front of you began to rise up.
Of course, the demigods of Purgatory Island are not dead after all, and Liszt is still breathing a sigh of relief, that is, the tiger is still in the aftermath, and if he just retains the core area, he can still suppress the scene, and the small sects and factions that are not suppressed by the demigods still dare not argue with him.
Purgatory Island finally signed an armistice agreement with the Chinese Samurai Association, which was handled by Li Ce, and it was done extremely beautifully, almost emptying out the family of Purgatory Island to the greatest extent, mainly reflected in the huge indemnity and martial arts classics.
Purgatory Island has been established for thousands of years, and the reserves of various classics are vast, which can not only enrich the sect heritage on the side of the Chinese Warrior Association, but also have great benefits for the promotion and breakthrough of the top level of the sect.
And the Yunhai Heavenly Palace, which lost the jellyfish grandmother Shui Lan, was gradually annexed by the Chinese Samurai Association, and almost became a subsidiary sect in the real sense to do things for the Chinese Samurai Association, of course, compared to the set of life and death on Purgatory Island, the unscrupulous approach, the Chinese Samurai Association is too gentle and decent.
The general trend of the world is constantly changing in this turbulence, and many middle-level disciples of the Chinese Samurai Association have discussed a lot, feeling that they will suffer from it if they do not die by fighting snakes, and they should chase the wind and month by month mercilessly, kill them all, and completely destroy Purgatory Island. But in fact, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
If the Chinese warriors will be weakened in the future, then whether the sect has enemies with it or not, will jump up and bite it, if the Chinese warriors will always be strong, just like Purgatory Island in its heyday, even if the enemies are all over the world?
Instead of forcing Liszt and Parsha to the desperate situation of trapped beasts and deathmatches, it is the right choice to strive for the greatest benefit to themselves, and even if Purgatory Island has a chance to revive in the future, it will definitely be the betrayers who will retaliate in the first wave.
.....................
Ten years later, in the great world of clouds, the increasingly prosperous industry and commerce on the ground spread, and among the clouds in the sky, there was a huge black and gray steel giant ship like a mountain flying slowly.
For the de facto rule of the Chinese Warrior Society, the Yunhai World is not without reluctant opposition forces, but whenever they see the huge warship in the sky, all the local opponents can't help but sigh and feel powerlessness and despair deep in the bone marrow.
With a demigod and a demigod Witch Tower battleship, even the actual owner of this plane, the Silent Tower Wizard Academy, has to sell the Chinese Warrior Society's three thin faces, and basically agrees with its dominance in this continent, because the sea of clouds world is not just this continent, but seven, and the real big head is still firmly controlled by the Dead Silence Tower Wizard Academy, and the Chinese Warrior Association is powerless, and has no intention of really fighting with the other party for the sovereignty of this side of the world.
What the Chinese Warrior Association needs is a plane world with complete sovereignty of its own, and this is extremely difficult for a martial arts sect in a wizard world.
Inside the Earthfire Witch Tower battleship, Zhu Peng stood on the high platform in the super-large laboratory, staring at the group transformation experiment below.
There are nearly a hundred wizard apprentices shuttling back and forth in the entire laboratory, and there are more than a dozen formal and even mid-level wizards, at this moment, they are reading the data for Zhu Peng and quickly uploading the report, while Zhu Peng taps the various options on the light screen to control all the variables in the laboratory.
Ten years ago, Purgatory Island signed a reparation treaty, and the huge indemnity of 400 million magic stones was almost not wasted, all of them were smashed to the Earth Fire Witch Tower battleship by the Chinese Warrior Association, and now the entire battleship has been repaired and strengthened to eighty percent new, and then superimposed with the high-precision equipment smuggled back from the Song of the Silver Elf God of War, and now this Witch Tower Battleship is no longer a defective product, but a real demigod-level Witch Tower with quite good performance.
Because it is a battleship with the earthfire attribute, if it is refitted, it will cost a lot of money to overhaul, so although he is the chief archwizard of the Chinese Warriors Association, Li Lu did not compete with Zhu Peng, which is a huge concession for a legendary great wizard. Of course, the Chinese Warriors Association really doesn't have the financial resources to overhaul a demigod witch tower, of course, whoever is relatively suitable will go up.
Under the counter-replenishment of the demigod-level witch tower, after only ten years, Zhu Peng's spiritual power cultivation and magic power accumulation have been promoted to the legendary high level and are gradually approaching the peak, one Zhu Dedao, his two love sisters have also benefited greatly, Qiu Yue Xue Li has been promoted to a third-order legendary wizard, and Qiu Yue Xue Nari has also been promoted to a third-order wizard, and these years are replenishing and accumulating, trying to impact the legend.
The demigod-level witch tower is a huge gain for the demigods and legendary wizards who meet the attributes, and there is no such obvious gain for the legendary wizards who do not meet the attributes, but for the low-level wizards below the legend, there is no difference, as long as you can go to the witch tower, just staying on it is an extremely huge resource for improvement.
Because of this Earth Fire Witch Tower battleship, the ratio of the appearance and promotion of the Chinese Warrior Association's wizard apprentices and official wizards has jumped rocket-like over the years, as long as there are spiritual qualifications, they can basically be cultivated, of course, the kind of people who are unwilling to work hard, even if they have qualifications, they will not waste that cultivation resources.
(Perhaps, I guessed wrong, the real purpose of the mentor to create the "Shadow Mask Meditation Method" was not to assist the promotion of the Witch Emperor Kasa, but to open up a path for ordinary people who have no spiritual qualifications?) But such a selfless concept, no matter how you think about it, seems to be inconsistent with the style of the mentor, although this is indeed an earth-shattering masterpiece, if completed, it can almost be comparable to the three revolutionary great witchcraft of the Witch Emperor.) When a thought flickered, a large area of blood red suddenly appeared on the virtual screen in front of Zhu Peng.
"My lord, the D12 augmented human test subjects are experiencing a large area of overload, and they are beginning to bleed in a large area. As soon as the words fell, Zhu Peng shook his hand and punched out vigorously, and the next moment, he appeared behind the white wizard who was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat.
I saw that in the experimental tank, all the men in this area were all in pain, some were still barely using their fists to regulate the metal particles in their bodies, and some had already spasmed and fell to the ground, and after a moment of twisting, the surface of the skin appeared to be obviously metalized.
"Lower, lower...... Metal particles are put and rescued"
"Increasing the radiation of metal particles, the strengthening of the titanium polar body can only advance but not retreat, and retreat is death. Opening his mouth to interrupt the command of the white wizard who was already flustered, Zhu Peng crossed this level and ordered directly.
In this Earth Fire Witch Tower battleship, Zhu Peng had a higher authority than Li Jingxuan, and as soon as he appeared, the wizard assistants around him naturally obeyed the order, while Zhu Peng himself walked to the experimental tank and stretched out his right palm and pressed it on the surface of the tempered glass.
Closing his eyes, the palm pressed on the glass appeared metal alienation, and with Zhu Peng's control of the metal particles in the experimental tank, the Chinese Warrior Society warriors inside were relieved a lot, and most of them stood up and made new fists, guiding the metal particles.
Half an hour later, of the fifty strengthened warriors in this area, twenty-seven of them survived to complete the first reinforcement of the titanium pole body, which was still the result of Zhu Peng's care.
"Further increase the application limit, and all professionals who have not cultivated to the dark strength or do not have a strong second-order level will be dismissed...... Didn't you write on the application form that the success rate of the enhancement was less than 50 percent?" After dealing with the emergency incident just now, Akizuki Xue Nari trotted over to Zhu Peng's side and recorded his new order.
"It's been marked very clearly on the application form, but brother, your titanium polar body enhancement can double people's combat power in just half a month, especially after completing the strengthening of the defense power increase, survivability improvement, the effect is too good, even if it is written that the success rate is less than fifty percent, and there are other harsh removal terms, but there are still an amazing number of people who apply for reinforcement every month, fortunately, brother, your enhanced witchcraft is not suitable for women, otherwise the number of applications will be doubled. Tilting her head, Akizuki Xue Nari explained with a wry smile.
Zhu Peng's titanium polar body enhancement system began to be mass-produced through the assistance of the Earth Fire Witch Tower in the past ten years, and the original purpose was originally just to collect experimental data and reserve enough experimental data for his brother to complete the fourth-order titanium polar body enhancement, but at the beginning, it was an earth-shattering response.
Although this kind of mass-produced strengthened titanium pole body is not as effective as one's own cultivation, and once it starts, it cannot be strengthened independently from Zhu Peng, but it takes a short time, and the most important thing is that it is amazingly cost-effective.
Zhu Peng's titanium polar body enhancement has been hanging high on the Chinese Warriors Association's miraculous skills list all these years, but except for Dan realm bigwigs like Li Jingxuan and Fuhui Monk, no one has been able to cultivate at all, so it is known as the top cultivation technique of the most pitiful people.
And now the original creator has come out to open it to everyone, saying that it is less than 50% of the success rate, but under the premise of Zhu Peng, in fact, the success rate of only strengthening the first layer of titanium pole body can be increased by more than 70%, and once it is cultivated, it will benefit for life.
Therefore, at the beginning of Zhu Peng's project, there was never a shortage of experiments sent to the door, and at first it was only open to the inside of the Chinese Warriors Association, and then Vientiane Mountain protested, it is said that things were caused by Huang Yubing, and the great elder Taishang came forward, even Zhu Peng could not give this face, and then Li Jingxuan made a decision.
"You can't engage in privilege, and you must be as fair and fair as possible within the sect. So even a large number of professional legions have the qualifications to apply, Zhu Peng is no longer short of experimental products, but the success rate of strengthening is inevitably reduced, the recipient's foundation is too weak, the willpower is insufficient, and he is directly beaten into a human-shaped steel sculpture by metal particles. Zhu Peng didn't want to see such a thing happen, but there were always some people with insufficient skills, who mixed in with a fluke mentality, and the martial arts foundation of the professionals was already poor, so in Zhu Peng's eyes, all the skills were sparse, but because of this, they couldn't tell who was mixed in.
"Brother, don't just think about those who died because of this, most of those who have successfully strengthened are covered with iron armor, so how many people have saved their lives, how many people have the opportunity to further become strong, the results of your experiment will outweigh the disadvantages after all. "Autumn Moon Xue Nari is as gentle as water, and she said comfortingly.
