Chapter 54: The Black Snake
"I don't need it to tell you. ”
Suddenly, a huge mountain-like claw broke through the barrier of space and stomped on the fire. The lion's eyes, which are almost the size of the entire room, are close to the front of the person, and the shock it brings is difficult to describe in words, but it only makes people's palms sweat, and they can't make their fists greasy.
"You have succeeded in obtaining the Book of Whispers. Despite its size, the lion's deliberately lowered roar can still withstand the human eardrums, although it will cause some buzzing in the human brain, but even if you don't cover your ears, the tsunami-like sound will not cause the listener's eardrums to shatter and cause deafness, "Now, come back." ”
While the lion's roar was still echoing in the room, Alexey's eyes went dark, and the bloody mouth that suddenly covered the vision turned into a bloody hot night in an instant, and when the light shot into his pupils again and the morning light came, Alexei found that he had returned to the dusty world.
"From now on, you're a first-class admittance. ”
The lion raised its claws, and the book of whispers with a dark red on the cover lay on the stone bricks no more than a step away from Alexey, and behind him, his corpse servant was holding two intact lizard eggs, standing quietly two meters away waiting to serve its master, while at his feet, a lizard-shaped turquoise statue was glittering with jade.
"In the future, you will be able to enter and exit the Void Realm at will from the entrance of the mortal world, and your descendants will also enjoy the status of second-level admittance. ”
The lion introduced himself, "I am Ryan, the gatekeeper of the Outlands, the issuing officer of the Visa of the Worlds. Depending on your current level 1 entry qualifications, you can apply to me for a pass through the Gate. ”
Alexei heard this and asked, "Pass? ”
"You can ask us three questions, and that's the first one. The two snake tails behind Ryan's ass swept, and the red diamond snake's voice had an obvious smile in his voice, "If you have a pass, you can pass through the gate, and through the gate, you can go to the nearest world." ”
"But, warn you, ignorant mortals. ”
Ryan turned his head and opened his mouth while staring at the thorny snakehead, and said to Alexey: "In order to prevent you from wasting this precious opportunity, it is necessary for me to tell you that this pass is a one-way ticket, and you must find a visa issuing officer from another world to come back." ”
"I've seen a lot of guys who go out and never come back, and they don't know where their bodies are going to rot. So, maybe the other world will make your adventurous spirit flourish, but I still need to give you a word of advice responsibly, crossing is not such a simple game. ”
After the lion finished speaking, he saw that the head of the red diamond snake was wrapped around the head of the thorn-eyed snake with a sluggish expression, and the latter did not resist, and was eaten by Ryan and the head of the red diamond snake one bite at a time.
"What are you doing?"
"Second question. ”
The red diamond snake head rubbed his two-point body unsatisfactorily: "The three of us are souls forcibly pinched together by the lord, I am Islindi, and they are Ryan and Cosean, the three of us jointly take charge of a part of this body, but it will make each other's souls feel the scorching heat of purgatory forever, unless one of us wins and devours the other two souls, just like now, Ryan and I ate a part of Cosean, then, we will suffer less." ”
"I know you want to know something, little thing. ”
Just as Alex was puzzled after hearing Islindy's answer, a small, about the size of his thumb, wrapped around the mage's wrist silently, and it hissed, its voice did not distinguish between men and women, but it sounded a little old and a little gloomy: "I don't know how long it has been, time has no meaning to the three of us." ”
The little black snake, that is, Corsean, said slowly to Alexei, who was deep in thought, "But the strength of the three of us is equal forever under the constraints of the lord, so we agreed that whoever fails in the game will willingly be eaten by the other two souls. ”
"Do you know why I objected at the time?" Cosean hissed and let out a shrill chuckle, "because I knew you would succeed." ”
"Then why don't you be a victor and set yourself in defeat?" Alexei, perceiving the loophole in Corsian's words, immediately retorted, "Does it make you happier to endure more of Purgatory?" ”
"Because this time it was my turn to vote against. ”
Corsean smiled, "The three of us are equal in strength, and the future I can see, they can also see." ”
"Every time you play, there should be someone who wants to be devoured. Corsean, who was around Alexey's wrist, bit the tip of his tail with his mouth, looking up from afar, like a black bracelet, "I was waiting for my chance to eat both of them, and you, you ruined my original plan." ”
"You're a probator. Corsean sighed, "I had agreed terms with my prey that she would help me win a victory, but Ryan and Islindy had another plan, and they found the key to your puzzle." ”
"Alright, Corsean. I know what you're going to do. ”
Ryan, who licked his paws, was as tall as a mountain, and he shook the mane next to his neck and spoke condescendingly to Alexey: "There is one return left for the three questions, human, you still have one last chance, but since Corsean is not willing to let me and Israel Lindi complete the return gift easily, then see you next time." Remember, back in limbo, all you have to do is call out to either me or Islindy, and we'll be there for you right away. ”
After saying that, the figure of the lion missing a tail gradually became transparent, and then completely disappeared under Alexey's nose.
"It's gone. ”
In front of Alexey, Corsean made no secret of his smugness: "They ruined my plans, and I have to give them a good punch in return." ”
"But you've obviously lost more than they have. Alexei leaned over to pick up the statue on the ground and the Book of Whispers, "Now, can this book stop time like it did in another world?"
"As long as you give it a chance to collect energy. ”
"Collect energy, those green threads?"
"Yes, but it's all up to it. ”
"The soul of a lie?"
"No, a liar can only be a liar, and the Book of Whispers, as a treasure in the lord's treasury, is naturally self-conscious. However, while you don't need the Book of Whispers yet, I can help you access another artifact in the Shroud that coincides with your original goal. ”
Putting the book away, Alexei chuckled and asked the black snake on his wrist, "But why are you helping me, even if Ryan and Islindy are the ones responsible for the loss of some of your soul." I don't believe that there is a free lunch in the world, and if you put it bluntly, the two of us may be able to work together. But you always want to cover up, then I'm sorry, I can't stand your favor. ”
"Don't worry, little thing, because it's about the next gamble. Corsian smiled strangely, "I know you're very suspicious, so I'll give you a little sweetness first." ”
"The speed of time in another world is not equal to the speed of this world, and now, only thirty-two seconds have passed since you returned from this world. Go find it, your prey is just before the holy thing, if you insist on a reason, it is me Corsean, the black dragon who has eaten the root of the world is very jealous, I want to give a punishment to the chick who can't complete the contract, how about it, is this reason enough?"
"Enough. ”
Nodding and whispering, Alexei, whose eyes revealed thought, stepped forward, and in front of him, a black light shot out from the bracelet on his wrist, reaching the distance with no end in sight: "Blue Dream, you wait for me......."
