It's not hard to see oases in the desert, but it's rare to see an oasis of this size. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The succubus whistled and said, "It's really yours! If you come forward, the problem of desertification in the whole earth can probably be solved!"

The scholar ignored the succubus's boring words, staring at the succubus and not letting go.

"I'm embarrassed that you look at me like that!"

Having said that, the succubus is not only not embarrassed, but also ...... It's very embarrassing. The succubus herself doesn't often show off her beauty, but if someone looks at her or compliments her with the eyes of a beautiful woman, she will definitely accept it all.

Anyway, it's a compliment, who doesn't like to hear good words?

"I'm not looking at you. ”

However, the scholar shook his head and said such a thing, and the smile on the succubus's face stiffened suddenly, she was the only one who surprised others before, but she fell behind when she said a word to this scholar.

The succubus was a little embarrassed, she could be considered to have experienced what the mood of the demon spirit was like. If you change it to a normal youkai...... No, even ordinary people with no special skills would not be happy, especially being teased in front of two subordinates.

"Then what are you always staring at me?" But the succubus was no ordinary person, not only did she not show any anger, but she also became interested in the scholar's reaction.

"I'm looking at the kettle you carry around your waist. ”

It was only now that the succubus could understand where the scholar's gaze was looking.

At first, his eyes were not focused on the succubus at all, and the real focus of his eyes was the water bottle hanging from the waists of the three men: the water in it barely moved because it had come by flying.

"I want to drink water. ”

There was a hint of pleading in the scholar's words.

"Isn't there a lake behind you, why do you need to drink water?" the succubus asked, but handed him the kettle that had been prepared long ago.

The scholar's expression finally changed. The breezy cold arrogance just now was fleeting when he got the kettle, took out a pen and pierced the sturdy kettle into a hole, and drank the best drop of water in it like a cow.

At this time, the water of the lake was rising, and the black stone had been swallowed by the lake, and the clear water flowed under the feet of the scholar.

This oasis seemed to be his stomach.

"It's been a long, long time since I've had water. The scholar closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief as he handed the broken kettle to the succubus.

When he returned to the succubus's hands, the hole in the kettle was gone, and it was intact as if it had not been destroyed at all, except that the water inside was empty.

Funny little tricks.

But that's all, the succubus didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, looking at the rising water, she already knew what these things were.

"This lake is fake, right?"

“............ Scold. ”

The scholar was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled—

"That's right, it's not really a lake, it's an illusory landscape born from the energy in my body—"

The lake quickly dried up, and the oasis withered, and the oasis that appeared in the Gray Desert area was swallowed up by sand shortly after it disappeared, and became no different from the surroundings.

Oasis, which simply does not exist.

"In the hundred years that I have been imprisoned here by Yakumo Murasaki, I have not drunk a drop of water, I have not eaten a grain of rice, and from beginning to end, I have controlled history and made me stay in the state of eating the last meal and drinking the last drop of water back then. ”

The scholar's expression was indifferent, there was no anger or resentment on his face, and he was not sensitive to the word Yakumo Zi, as if he was talking about the unrelated Lao Wang next door, and he didn't take the hundred-year torture seriously at all.

"But I miss that although I am not thirsty or hungry, there are times when I am bored and I can't help but want to eat and drink, and in this state I created an oasis. ”

Occasionally, he would miss the memory of eating and drinking, and whenever he felt the urge to do so, the scholar would pluck the leaves near the oasis and stuff it into his mouth, or bow his head to the edge of the lake to drink.

But in fact, the oasis is fake, it is formed by the energy stored in the scholar's body, from beginning to end, it is just self-produced and sold, there is neither surplus nor waste, just to satisfy the illusory desire for food and water in the heart.

However, after tasting the pure water for a long time, joy filled his heart, and his attitude was no longer as cold and arrogant as before, and he said like a homely person: "I just barely ate an undercooked raw egg." ”

The scholar's face was filled with happiness, and a clear tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

When the succubus saw him crying, he subconsciously thought of something very disgusting: in order to prevent water loss, should he lick it back?

Thankfully, it didn't happen.

Naturally, the succubus didn't know what the raw egg in his mouth was, and no one understood his jokes except the dead beggar.

"It's ugly. ”

The scholar adjusted his mentality.

It is not a good memory to live alone for hundreds of years, even the Bai Ze clan is difficult to survive those times, and after seeing the visitors from Gensokyo a hundred years later, he temporarily loses his cool because of excitement.

It will only take a short time to regain composure.

"Great Magician Succubus - I can see your history clearly, what kind of character you have, what kind of ability, I know clearly. ”

"Really?" the succubus took a few steps forward with interest.

The scholar was thin, he was a little shorter than the succubus.

"So, what are you going to do? Do you want to fight first to determine the master-servant relationship?"

“...... I don't like fighting. ”

Having said that, the scholar did not have any cowardice in the face of the succubus's provocation.

It's amazing, it's clear that the words are timid, but the momentum is not down.

He doesn't like fighting, but he doesn't refuse any of them and won't lose.

That's the impression that scholars give people.

"Meaningless battles are just a waste of time. ”

He made it clear that he would not attack the succubus and would join her as a subordinate and help her achieve great things.

It looks like I've come to my senses early.

The succubus nodded, happy with her choice.

"But......" the succubus asked curiously, "Listening to your tone, you seem to have known a long time ago that someone in Gensokyo was coming to take you out?"

"It was not me who prophesied, but I was prophesied"

"????" the succubus looked confused.

"I, you...... And-" The scholar's gaze swept to Connor and the demon spirit, and said meaningfully, "-And you. All of us belong to someone's prophecy, and we've become someone's pawns. ”

"Who is it?" asked the succubus.

"It's an outsider, and at that moment I feel like I'm being observed, and at that time I know that I have the value of being used, so someone will definitely be looking for me in the near future. ”

After a pause, the scholar said, "And I have waited forty-five years and seventy-seven days." ”

The flame of hope burned 45 years ago, and it has only been seen today.

The succubus was thoughtful, but it didn't last long.

She just temporarily hid the scholar's words in her heart and kept an eye on it.

Now there are more important things waiting for the succubus to do.

"Don't talk nonsense, scholar, I don't say whether that prophecy exists, I just want to ask you, what are your plans now?"

"Of course I will follow you—I will obey all your orders. ”

"Oh, obey all my orders?" the succubus looked at the scholar in front of him with interest, and asked, "What if my purpose is to kill Gensokyo?"

Many of the people on the Gensokyo border hate Yakumo Murasaki.

But he doesn't necessarily want Gensokyo to be destroyed: even if he wants to take revenge on Gensokyo at the center of humiliation, not many people really want to destroy him.

After all, this is the last place for the monsters, and the revenge in their minds is nothing more than slaughtering a few villages and eliminating a few monster forces, that's all.

"To destroy Gensokyo, you must destroy Yakumo Murasaki, as long as Yakumo Murasaki dies, my goal will be achieved. ”

There was no hatred in the scholar's words, as if he didn't know the name Yakumo Purple at all, and he didn't know what kind of story it contained.

What a meaning!

The succubus was stunned for a moment, and after a short period of thought, he let out a pretended cheerful laugh.

"Hehe, hahahahaha!

The scholar smiled and said nothing.

Ignorance is terrible, but knowing in your heart that a person who pretends to be ignorant on the surface is even more terrible, because this kind of person has experienced careful thinking and decision-making, and he is not influenced by authority, awe, and majesty.

Of course, it is not a bad thing to throw away the dignity of the Lord in order to achieve the goal.

"Tell me your name. ”

"Just call me Bai Ze. ”

"Hey, you use your race to decide your name? Hey, you don't look like one of those nameless little characters. ”

"If you know your real name, you'll be cursed, you...... Don't you have a real name?"

The succubus was silent.

Indeed, being given your real name is a dangerous thing, and it is not good if you are cursed.

"Let's go, Bai Ze, come back to Gensokyo with me, I have a lot of things to arrange for you to do. ”

"It's a contemptible honor to be appreciated by adults. ”

Scholar Bai Ze joins the succubus' rebellion against Gensokyo.

After recruiting Bai Ze into the team, the succubus no longer had any interest in finding talent on the Gensokyo border.

A lot of people is a good thing.

But most of the time, crowds are always in the way.

The succubus knew she wasn't the kind of leader who could convince the crowd, and she never liked to bother with leadership.

She knows her weakness but does not want to change it, so she must avoid leading the majority in such a situation.

As long as she leads a few elites, her enemy is Gensokyo, not billions of humans in the outside world, and Gensokyo can really get too few chess and cards to play on the surface.

After a brief acquaintance with the spirit demon and Connor, the scholar stopped talking and followed the succubus as he flew over the gray desert.

Although he said allegiance, the scholar has been maintaining an ambiguous distance from the three of them.

This attitude naturally made Connor and the spirit demon feel unpleasant, but the scholar never had the idea of explaining, and the succubus saw it in his eyes but did not directly provoke the matter

"You haven't told me how you got banished here?"

"There can only be one Bai Ze in Gensokyo. And Yakumo Zi chose to leave the obedient one. ”

The scholar's answer was very vague, he had no intention of telling the secret to the succubus, even if the succubus had nothing to say, he would no longer answer.

It didn't take long for the succubus and the others to return to the junction of Gensokyo's border and Gensokyo.

Behind him is a hopeless exile and in front of a lush forest, and the two worlds are combined by an invisible barrier that is close but difficult to touch.

"You're about to leave here, do you have any thoughts or feelings?"

"I don't have time to get emotional. ”

The scholar was unmoved, and the succubus was a little disappointed that he didn't see the expression he liked to see on his face.

The ritual knife that can silently break the barrier reappears in the hand of the succubus, and the barrier is cut open by a strangely shaped knife, and the suki and the other four people enter the Gensokyo with a guard post set up on the border of Gensokyo.

At the moment when the succubus's shoes stepped on the fantasy land, the surrounding woods were startled with a wave of birds and beasts.

The succubus stopped, full of interest.

The soul spirit clenched the hilt of the sword, its sharp gaze fixed on the dynamics of the forest

Connor's eyes glowed slightly, and the afterglow of her eyes was wary of the changes on both sides around her.

Bai Ze remained motionless, his hands in his long sleeves, and his expression was indifferent.

Zheng ——!

In the world that is unpredictable to the naked eye, countless transparent qi can be seen flying out of the woods towards the succubus and the others.

"Succubus-sama!

At this time, the soul demon spirit responded first under the influence of pressure.

The Soul Wibly pulled out the two katanas at his waist and launched a flurry attack forward.

She can't see the Air Blade, she just guesses the location of the Air Blade based on the traces of destruction on the ground and the surrounding environment, and then responds to its movement trajectory, facing it without seeing the enemy's attack!

The transparent air blade collided with the white sword qi in front of it, and the silver-white sword qi danced out of the sword by the soul demon spirit in the soul demon spirit, like a spider weaving a grid to form a protective shield of sword qi, which can be attacked and retreated.

...... Once the demon spirit relied on this method to preemptively defeat Qin En and Sixteen Nights Sakuya, who had the ability to master time, it was the fastest and most unexpected move of the soul demon spirit.

But this time, she didn't create a miracle - although the sword qi of the soul demon successfully blocked the attack of the air blade, the air blade slowly penetrated through the gap in the sword qi.

Because it's gas.

It is purer and lighter than sword qi.

The air blade broke through the defenses.

However, the scholar waved his long sleeves, and in an instant, the sword qi and qi blades all disappeared, and the collision marks left on the tree trunks, ground, and stones were also invisible, as if nothing had happened just now. The soul demon looked at the scholar with palpitations, but the scholar didn't even look at the demon spirit, even if the succubus occasionally opened his mouth, he would ignore it, not to mention the two monsters of the soul demon and Connor?

It seems to be intense and thrilling, but in the eyes of people of the level of succubus, it is just a joke.

The corners of the archmage's mouth twitched, she didn't feel strange at all, because hiding from Yakumo Purple was an extremely difficult thing to achieve, and she didn't plan to hide it from beginning to end.

She looked at her newly recruited partner and asked, "Bai Ze, do you know how to fight?"

"Yes. ”

"Then let me see what you're capable of. ”

Scholar Bai Ze nodded, and then said to the soul demon, "Borrow a sword and use it." ”

The demon spirit didn't answer him, and before her brain could react, the soul demon spirit's matching sword automatically flew into Bai Ze's hand, and the whole process was silent.

The sound of the piano wafted through the woods.

The sound is not harsh or intense, on the contrary, the sound of the piano is soft and gentle, but there is a murderous motive hidden in this gentle sound, and every time the sound wave floats through one place, it leaves behind the traces of countless blades and blades.

Bai Ze unhurriedly stabbed the borrowed sword face down into the ground. When the sword of the soul demon spirit touched the ground, it actually split into small strings of tree roots, and a burst of anger surged in the heart of the soul demon spirit when it saw the beloved saber become this appearance, but Bai Ze ignored the anger of the female swordsman behind him, closed his eyes, his fingers gently plucked the strings, and an extremely harsh and sharp note appeared from the strings.

If the sound of the piano in the woods is elegant, then the sound played by Bai Ze is simply a chaotic syllable played by a beginner, and it is not music at all, just simple noise!

The noise didn't make the elegant strings disappear, nor did it cancel out the blades that were hidden within.

But Bai Ze suddenly opened his eyes and let go of the sword of the soul demon, and in an instant, it returned to its original appearance from the strange appearance of saying that it was a piano and not a piano and a sword, and then Bai Ze stretched out his right hand holding the sword and released the hilt, and the sword automatically rotated in a large circle, and its edge was facing a certain direction in the woods.

"Go!" Bai Ze changed his way of fighting.

Not as passive as in the Grey Desert.

Bai Ze took the initiative to attack, and the blue light was released from the sword body, and as soon as he released it, he shrank it, and the sword returned to Bai Ze's hand in a moment, and at the same time, a black thing in the woods was also pulled out and fell into his hand.

Bai Ze has an extra head in his hand, and this head still maintains a confident and calm look.

There was no pain, no awareness, it was just a matter of a moment, and the head of the enemy was taken thousands of miles away.

The sword was returned to the Soul Spirit.

There was no blood on the sword, not even a peculiar smell at all.

"It's ugly. ”

"It's not ugly, it's not ugly, it's not ugly at all. The succubus looked at the demon spirit's sword with emotion and exclaimed, "It's very beautiful!"
