Chapter Forty-Six: Excessive ......
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Neam belonged to the extremely stubborn Order, the fanatical Dawn cult whom the Natural Alliance had called. He was originally from a noble background, followed the ancient rules and converted to the Dawn Sect, and studied with the vengeful leader Blake under the former head of the Knight of the Dawn, and was influenced by the mentor to abide by the teachings, so tendoned that even the high priest felt that he was too rigid.
Doyle, who was not yet ten years old at the time, was brought to Xindu, and considering her gender, the high priest specially asked the high priest to take care of her food and daily life. When Neyam became Doyle's swordsmanship, he also wanted to curb the awakening of the demonic bloodline ideologically, hoping that she could grow into a devout believer in the dawn. Not wanting it to backfire, the sealed half-demon finally awakened.
In Neuham's view, Doyle has little contact with the outside world, is simple-minded, and even if he goes on a mission, he is limited to the scope of the new capital. After only one trip to Cronberg, the seal was broken, and it must be inseparable from the children of nature who are traveling with him.
Link also has no affection for the Dawn Cult, and when he was still on Earth, Hull said that the Dawn Cult was too extreme. If it weren't for the Dawn believers who had too many scruples, how could they cultivate Doyle into an overly sensitive temperament, and if she had been a little rougher, this seal would not have been broken.
In the annex, which was dedicated to entertaining guests, the high priest made a formal introduction, although this was a bit of a superfluous move, and it was not a short exchange with guò, and both sides of the battle already understood each other's identities.
Somehow, Link and Neham just didn't like each other, and they didn't even want to nod their heads in the most basic courtesy.
The Grand Priest suddenly had the urge to roll her eyes, God knows how many years she hadn't had such an impulsive affair.
"Hmph~" Vera sneered, despised Neam's hypocrisy with her eyes.
Unlike Doyle, she has always been sealed away from the Dawn Sect, including Arisina the High Priest who takes care of Doyle.
Neum's gaze immediately swept to Vera beside Link, and his anger was released. He also calmed down.
Sensing the abnormality of 'Doyle', it is not the changes in his appearance and body after lifting the magic, this is not the disciple he has taught for many years at all, his eyes and the corners of his mouth are clearly another person. When he thought about it, he understood. Half-human, half-demon, Doyle is human, this, is a demon.
"Two souls in one, tell her to come out, I have nothing to say to you. ”
The imperative tone was not only Vera, Link was also particularly upset, "She and you don't have much to say. ”
Vera also nodded on the side of the fire, indicating that she had nothing to talk about with Dawn's doglegs.
Seeing that the corners of Neam's mouth twitched, it was about to escalate into a fighting situation. The Grand Priest shouted, "Enough! Are you children?" Lord Link, please restrain your behavior. ”
Link, who was named, pressed his eyebrows, "I'm sorry, I'm too emotional." ”
He didn't know why he was particularly disgusted with this Dawn Knight, probably because of the other party's eyes that saw some kind of filth, especially Neam's whole body was full of the temperament of a preacher, seeing him, Link didn't feel like a paladin. It's a priest, and he's the one who stubbornly wants everyone to obey him.
Neam was expressionless. There was a real shock in my heart.
As an apostle of God, how can you admit your mistakes so lightly?
After reprimanding Link, Alysina turned to Nyam again, "You too, so reckless, how can I trust you with the responsibility?"
Remembering the advice of the High Priest. Neam clenched his fist to his chest, explaining his purpose at a glance, taking over the seal of the half-demon in place of the Grand Priest.
Originally, Alysina and Link had already negotiated the matter of guarding the seal, but after the trouble just now. Link changed his mind again.
Not to mention that he and Neam don't get along, just this kind of personality that has to do something if he doesn't agree with him, and there is no room for a little sand in his eyes, even if he takes it with him, it will hurt his business.
Neham didn't look at Link, "It's not up to Your Excellency to decide. ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Alysina really felt that the main priest had chosen the wrong person this time.
Obviously, Link's personality is the kind of person who doesn't conflict with others, why did he become so bitter and mean when he met Neham?
"Your Excellency, don't forget what I said to you last time. "Alysina is reminding Link that the powers associated with the Pillars of Earth are provided by Dawn.
This time it poked Link's weakness, and he immediately stopped objecting, but he made a request. Neam can be accompanied, but not interfere in anything he does.
Just as Vera gained control of her body and exchanged soul expressions with Doyle, Lorelei suddenly pulled her into Link's consciousness space and had a conversation that only the two of them.
Lorelei asks Doyle to convince Link to take Neam with him, on the grounds that the Pillar is too deeply influenced by Link, perhaps unconscious, but Link's mind is highly compatible with Column, and she fears that Link will lose himself sooner or later.
There are also three classes of children of nature: the elected, the apostle, and the incarnation, and the power of each stage is very different. Link is now an apostle, and Lorelei suspects that Link almost became an 'incarnation' during his last meeting with the Wind Pillar. It is not a divine presence in the ordinary sense, but the embodiment of the pillar in the material realm, from the body to the mind.
Doyle was horrified when he heard this, what would Link do? What about his own soul, his being?
[Probably like returning to the flow of life after the death of life, I am not sure about becoming part of the column, after all, I am not a child of nature.] But he has changed a lot lately, and he has become more and more 'divine' in both his thinking and his way of acting. Today is his love since you, a rare expression that belongs to people and belongs to Link. 】
Doyle understood why Lorelei insisted on taking Neam with him. In fact, she also vaguely felt that the current Link was different from the one she first met in Valolet. Indeed, as Lorelei said, his sense of alienation is getting stronger and stronger, and his motivation for thinking and acting is completely based on nature, without considering the position of human beings. Was he really affected by the Pillar of the Wind, and if so, then he came into direct contact with the Pillar of Fire...... Will......
[This is exactly what I am worried about, I am afraid that Zhu is afraid that he will become a second Hicks and secretly affect him. 】
Lorelei's words made Doyle feel inconsistent, [But don't you say that only the decisions made by the lifeweaver themselves will not be prophesied by the gods?
That's why I use influence. Rather than manipulating the word. Lorelei worries that Link will turn into a puppet who will only obey the actions of the pillars.
This was something that suddenly came to her mind after Link had drained the faith she had collected from building the Earth Temple.
Since Hicks became a god, the pillars have repeatedly weakened the power of the children of nature, even if this time it is to deal with Hicks, it is still too risky for Link to have the power of four pillars at the same time. If only he had any different intentions. With the current state of the column, it is impossible to stop it at all.
Link says that it was his idea to create a sect, but can he really be sure that this is what he really thinks, and not a decision made by the pillars?
[Their conversation is coming to an end.] Doyle interrupted Lorelei's thoughts.
[Remember what I said, and let the Knight of Dawn stay no matter what.] Lorelei unblocked her, Doyle's consciousness returned to her body, and she informed Vera, who had the right to control her body, of the words of the former goddess of magic, much to Vera's displeasure.
[I hate that guy.] 】
[You don't want Link to be assimilated by the pillar, do you?]
Vera really didn't want to, and Link was the only one willing to accept her. I don't want him to be part of the gods. She has experienced the coldness of the gods enough.
"I see. Reluctantly, Vera agrees to let Neam stay, and her 180-degree turn leaves Link stunned.
"I don't like him either, but he's Doyle's sword instructor after all. Vera used Doyle out as a shield, "Aside from the High Priest, Neam is the only person Doyle is close to in the Dawn Sect. ”
Link didn't doubt him, and thought it was Doyle's meaning. In addition, the dawn does indeed supply the divine power of the Pillar of the Earth. It's not easy to refuse the Dawn Sect's request, anyway, it's just asking his peers to spy on Doyle. Even she herself has no opinion...... Don't worry about it yourself.
Seeing that Link was loose, Alysina began to do Neham's work again.
"Have you forgotten the High Priest's instructions?"
"I didn't forget. Neam replied calmly, he was just angry, and he didn't really think about what to do to Doyle. Teaching his apprentices by himself is the son of nature who wants to stir up the situation.
"You're her master, yes. But you know that Duke Cronberg has signed a formal agreement to pass Doyle to Link as his adopted daughter. ”
Neam turned his head sharply, his eyes strange to look at Link and Doyle, who were whispering, "They don't look like father and daughter at all. ”
"Don't think about it, Link is forty years old. He's not one of those filthy aristocrats. Knowing what Neam was thinking, Alysina advised, "You'll know if you've been with him for a while, this man is a little eccentric, but he has a good nature, and won't do anything out of the ordinary." Doyle's affairs, thanks to him, did not evolve to the worst. ”
"Isn't it influenced by that guy?" Neam was a whole round older than Doyle, and was called a mentor, but he regarded this disciple who had been forced to hide his gender since joining the Dawn Sect as a relative.
"I'll explain the details to you later, the High Priest didn't send you to fight with the Children of Nature. As half of Neham's caregivers, Alysina's words still carry a lot of weight.
Although he was reluctant, when he thought of the order of the high priest, no matter how unwilling Neum was, he could only give priority to the order.
Under the mediation of the High Priest, both Link and Neham took a step back, the former agreeing to Neam's follow, and the latter agreeing to Link's request not to interfere with the mission of the Children of Nature.
This unpleasant meeting came to an end, and for Link, personal preference was secondary, and he was more worried about Neam's profession and temperament, for fear that he would have something unaccustomed to and harm himself.
"That kind of wooden fish head, can you expect him to turn a blind eye to what the doctrine doesn't allow?" Vera sneered, but her eyes swept towards the live fire that Link had placed on the table last night before he had time to receive the dimensional bag.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she sensed something different, and Vera, who had grown up in the material world, walked over quickly to see what was making her feel strange. Unexpectedly, as soon as the hand touched, the living fire that was originally as hard as a stone turned into a black flame.
This sudden change was something that neither Link nor Vera expected.
The activated demon flame suddenly spewed a ball of fire at Vera, who was close at hand, and Link was not in a hurry to rescue, and watched Vera's upper body be wrapped in flames.
The artificial fabric turned to ashes in an instant, but the body was not damaged at all, Vera didn't feel anything wrong with the ** upper body, and her fingers pinched the demon flame. The blazing flames immediately withered.
Seeing that she was fine, Link could only stand in place in embarrassment.
"What the hell is this...... As soon as Vera turned around, she saw Link glancing around unnaturally, and then at her bare upper body, she immediately understood why he looked unnatural, "She and I have recognized you as our father." There was no need to care about that, the beasts never wore clothes, and I didn't feel embarrassed when I saw them. ”
"I'm human after all, well, once was. "Doyle and Vera are half-human, half-demon, the former was completely educated by humans and raised up, while the latter was sealed all year round, and was closer to a beast in both thought and behavior, and Link knew that he would face such an embarrassing situation many times in the future. You can only hypnotize yourself to do your best to adapt.
"The Abyssal Demon Flame is said to be an elemental creature, and humans call it living fire, saying that it can be used to forge magic items. Didn't you hear it last night?" Link was a little surprised, Vera and Doyle were two souls in one, especially in human form, one face and one li, should be able to hear Bridge's words. How can you be completely unaware?
"Magic props...... I don't need it, give it to her. I don't know what Vera was thinking. Suddenly, he swapped with Doyle.
Regaining control of his body, Doyle was not as calm as Vera, and Link hurriedly took off his shirt and handed it over, taking over the Demon Flame by the way.
Unlike Vera's contact, the abyssal flame, which seemed to be a fire elemental, rose again, and rushed to the roof with a 'whew'. Except for the clothes that were worn close to the body, every qiē in the room began to smoke.
While absorbing the heat that spreads into the air, Link asks Lorelei how to forge magic fire, ore is different from living creatures after all.
[Suppress it, use your strength.] Just like forging ore, change its shape. As for how to use it after activation, that's the owner's problem, Doyle is a demon dragon half-blood, and the abyss demon flame can't hurt her. If you want to forge a magic item, you can only complete it if it is activated. 】
[Won't changing form kill it?] If it weren't for the fear of messing up, Doyle didn't have the right weapon, Link would have flattened this thing that was similar to the fire element.
[The element itself is intangible, and the so-called forging is only forcing it to cool and solidify into a specific form. Lorelei reminds Link not to forget the Soul Forge, and only by using that skill can it be done without harming elemental creatures.
"I'm going to use this to forge a weapon for you, a two-handed sword?"
Doyle was even more embarrassed than Link, and could only nod in reply.
After sifting through the shape of the two-handed sword in his mind, Link chose the one he thought was more handsome.
Following Lorelei's instructions, Link first used his divine power to suppress the demonic flame, and then used soul forging to transform the flame into the shape of the weapon he wanted.
This was the first time Doyle had witnessed Link making magic props, the black magic flame gradually turned black and was pulled into a strip, and after the rough shape came out, the details were also carved out, and the black blade had dense fine lines, which looked like scales from a distance and flames up close. The hilt was one-third the length of the sword, and the handle was in the shape of two dragons that curved outward, and she liked it at a glance.
When Link handed it into his hand, the two-handed greatsword that had been black was like boiling hot water, and Doyle could feel a surge of energy about to break free from the shackles of the blade.
Without Link's prompting, she instinctively used her own strength to suppress it. Although not yet proficient, it is like learning to walk, without guidance at all, and it is instinctively learned.
Since the awakening of the demonic bloodline, Doyle can feel an uncontrolled energy in her body, always wanting to break through the shackles of her body, giving her a desire to fight and destroy. Whenever this thought could not be suppressed, the seal under the morning sun would appear, and it would tighten around the body like an iron chain.
At this moment, this suppressed desire for destruction was once again aroused by the demonic flames, and Doyle was sweating profusely as he held his freshly baked two-handed sword, his breathing gradually becoming shorter.
[Something is wrong with her......]
Link was about to reach out to touch Doyle when he was stopped by Lorelei.
[No one can help her at this step, she must get through it by herself.] Demon Flame is one of the most representative creatures of the Abyss, and as a half-demon, it is bound to be affected by it. 】
[Why didn't you say it earlier!] Link used the Demon Flame to make weapons for Doyle, which was originally a good intention, but he didn't expect to cause such trouble.
She must learn to control and suppress her demonic nature, otherwise she will only cause you trouble. Lorelei asks Link not to interfere, but once again she connects to Doyle's consciousness through the guò contract.
[Suppress, you must control your instincts. Vera can do it, and so can you. More often than not, it is Doyle who controls the body, and Lorelei is even more uneasy about her.
Doyle struggled to resist her instincts, and she was glad that Link had dissolved the sharing of consciousness. Otherwise, with her heart, she would definitely not be able to hide it from Link.
ps: I feel like I've written a lot in the last few days, it's a bit messy and a little scattered. I really want to overhaul the first volume and add some scenes in the game, but I'm afraid I won't have time to write the current chapters.
I've read some comments saying that Link is a bit fine, but I don't think he's fine, it's my own description of polarization. This character is still not well written, and I feel very discouraged......
