Chapter 16: A Cry from the Soul

The day of the midsummer carnival has arrived, and the lower and outer layers of the deep blue have become a sea of joy. Barrels of wine are sent into the navy in truckloads, and then turn into empty barrels at an astonishing rate. Fireworks and singing are flying in the sky, and the air is filled with the smell of food. On this day, people leave all their worries behind.

Reilly didn't go to the event. Although there are many interesting things in the auction items, he has already invested all his resources in the study of magic, so he can only give up this year's Midsummer Carnival.

Richard, on the other hand, had some special takeaways from the Midsummer Carnival. So the next day, he formed a small circle with Erin and Reilly, and a new partner was formed, and her name was Mountain and Sea.

This girl is Su Helen's new disciple, and she used 10 million gold coins to auction the self-funded student quota released by the legendary mage in the Millennium Dynasty, but the purpose is not to learn magic. In her own words, it's called "gilding."

The appearance of mountains and seas left a deep impression on Reilly. But he was neither struck by the wild beauty of the girl, nor intimidated by her status as a princess of the millennial dynasty. What really impressed Reilly was that on the first day she came to Deep Blue, the girl publicly announced that she wanted Richard to be her man!

Although he hadn't heard the words with his own ears, Erin's emotional description made it easy for him to imagine what it was like. The girl accompanied Richard the whole time on the day of the Midsummer Carnival, and naturally witnessed the whole thing happening. To Richard's dismay, instead of helping him reject the mountains and seas, Irene showed an attitude of being happy to see it happen. In her own words: "As the fiancΓ©e of the heir to a great nobility, I am already mentally prepared to share my husband with eighteen or nineteen women. ”

After that, Richard looked in the mirror for a long time: Do I look like a man with a heart?

The daily life of the mountains and the sea mainly consists of three things: eating, sleeping, and playing Richard...... Oh wrong, it's sticking to Richard. This girl was a samurai, but she never took the time to practice martial arts or fighting spirit. For this reason, Richard also worried about her for a while.

However, according to Shan & Hai herself, she can naturally become stronger as long as she eats and sleeps well. And Reilly also said to Richard next to him: "Due to the difference in bloodline, the path of each strong person will be more or less different, so you low-level creature should go to class with me." ”

After hearing this, Richard slammed the door without saying a word. Talking to these two people is mostly pleasant, but occasionally anger and even despair can occur.

The mountains and seas sometimes asked Richard for gifts, such as kisses, kisses, or kisses. But it wasn't a kiss between lovers, but a delicious licking and nibbling, and she seemed to have always liked Richard's taste. Although the boy tried to resist, it only turned "negotiation" into "conquest".

Today, Richard was "conquered" again, and even less able to resist than the previous ones. This incident proves that the power of the mountains and the sea is indeed growing rapidly in eating and sleeping, but Richard cannot be happy about the growth of his friends.

"You seem to be very depressed, are you being forced by the mountains and the sea?" Seeing him like this, Reilly asked with a smile.

"Why was it me who was forced to X?!" Richard was furious.

"Because she's attacking, you're suffering!" said Reilly, earnestly.

"My defense has never been successful. Richard swallowed a steak in indignation.

"What I just said is not the 'defending' of 'defending', but the 'receiving' of 'bearing'. Reilly explained carefully.

Richard lowered his head and thought for a moment, then jerked the silver plate in his hand in Reilly's face.

Looking at his departing back, Reilly shook his head: "The nearest young man, ......"

As the day of the game approached, Richard and Reilly were communicating more frequently than before.

That night, the two teenagers once again fought in the world of numbers and lines, and the mountains and seas stood beside them, staring at the sketches on the table.

I don't know when it began, but Mountains and Seas gradually became involved in Richard's design of the building. The girl has an amazing talent for numbers, and is even more sensitive to the flow of magic, so she also followed Richard's train of thought. The mountains and seas were unfamiliar with the specifics of the Demonic Pattern Formation, but she could start from the principles of the Sage Totem and give her opinions on many of Richard's ideas. It often makes Richard's eyes light up and bursts out with sparks of thought.

At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang, indicating that someone was waiting outside the residential area to meet Richard. He frowned, resisted the unhappiness of being interrupted in his train of thought, and quickly came to the entrance.

A young girl wrapped in a cloak stood outside the door, her face hidden deep under her hood. Just looking at the size data, Richard immediately linked her to Minnie Mouse, but he thought it was incredible.

"Minnie?" he asked tentatively.

The girl lifted her hood, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It's rare that you can tell it's me." ”

Richard was even more surprised, not because his guess had been confirmed, but because of Minnie's badly deformed little face and the remaining blood on it.

"Won't you let me in and sit?" said the girl casually.

"You...... Okay, come in!" Richard had already seen the handbag Minnie was holding, which contained mostly clothes and some belongings.

After everyone took their seats in the living room of the living quarters, both Reilly and Richard frowned. In the bright light, they could clearly see the wound on Minnie's face. A girl who is so beautiful is beaten like this, most men will be a little unbearable when they see it.

"Who did it?"

Minnie smiled bitterly and said, "It's Stevenson." Don't go to the law enforcement team, this is my ...... with him Housekeeping. ”

Richard suddenly, he looked at Minnie Mouse calmly, and said, "Since it is a family matter between you, it is even more impossible for me to interfere." But why did you come to me with your luggage, do you think I'm going to take you in?"

Minnie's head bowed slightly, and she said, "As you can see, I can't stay with Stevenson at all. I...... I can only come to you......"

"False. "At some point, the mountains and the sea have come to me. It was time for her to go to bed, so the girl's eyes could not be opened at all, and she went to Richard and sat down, arched his head over to him, and then fell asleep on the table.

Richard looked at the mountains and the sea, and then said to Minnie, "You have heard the mountains and the sea, and I believe her." ”

Minnie Mouse gritted her teeth and said, "I...... Well, I want to ask you, are you sure you will win this time?"

Richard smiled and said, "Of course I won't tell you. ”

Minnie Mouse sighed and said, "I understand. I have only one request: if you think you can win, then ...... Then please take me in for two months, two months will be enough. By that time, Stevenson will definitely be cleared out of the dark blue, and I will lose my status as a legendary mage disciple because I can't afford to pay the tuition. In fact, the teacher's attitude is now obvious, she will only keep you as a student. My family had already sold me to Solam, but I didn't want to be tied to Stilvinson and sink. As long as you help me through this difficult time, I will ...... in the future I'll be like Erin and find a way to survive in the deep blue on my own. ”

"Truth. The mountains and the sea said in a daze.

Richard couldn't laugh or cry, and the original solemn atmosphere was also destroyed. He casually tapped the girl on the head, then stared at Minnie and said, "What good will it do me to take you in? ”

Minnie straightened up, showed her nascent seductive curves, and said seriously, "I can tell you all about Stevenson's preparations so far, as well as the support plan of the Soram family......, and I know that!" Also during the period of my stay, I ...... It's yours, you can do whatever you want!"

"Truth. ”

Richard couldn't help but raise his hand again, but finally put it down, and didn't knock the mountains and seas on the head.

Minnie Mouse immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Is the hatred between you and Soram still small? Moreover, there is neither eternal friendship nor eternal hatred between nobles. In the big picture, my whereabouts are insignificant, and they won't bother to bother with this matter for the sake of the Marquis de Gordon's face. If Stevenson loses, he will have to give up his bloodline and learn from Santa Cruz. And Santa Cruz himself can only make two or three third-order constructs, which is not even a grand constructor. If he had relied on that guy, Stevenson would have been an ordinary constructor for the rest of his life. And only by becoming a Dragon Vein Constructor will it be possible for him to create a specific third-order construct. ”

"Truth. ”

Richard said lightly: "At least, he can still be a constructor." ”

"No, that's not the same. The Solams have invested too much in Stilvinson. If he can't become a grand constructor, he will have to serve under the control of the family for the rest of his life, and he will have no status at all. Minnie argued.

"Truth. ”

Richard stood up: "Anyway, you're still a constructor and the wife of a great nobleman, it's much better than staying in the dark blue, isn't it?"

"No, I don't want to be his wife, the marriage contract sold me to the Solam family! And you are also responsible, it is because of your Viscount Elliejie of the Akmund family that my father sold me to the Solam family. ”

"Truth. ”

Richard raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "So, you want to hold me responsible?"

Minnie's face changed, and then she lowered her head, and the tears could not stop flowing, and she said softly, "How can I hold you accountable? As for my father, he only begged for another Akmund to call him." Okay, I know I have a lot to be sorry for you in the past, but this game is just as important to you, right? Is that okay?"

"Truth. ”

Richard had already opened the door to the quarters and said, "I'm not interested in you, and I don't want to know what Stevenson is doing. So I'm sorry, I can't help you. Now that it's past my time to meditate, please go back!"

"Wait a minute, Richard. At this point, Reilly spoke, "I'm a little interested if you don't want Miss Minnie." ”

Richard looked at him in surprise and said, "Please." ”

"Mr. Reilly, will you take me in?" Minnie asked with the last glimmer of hope.

Seeing this weak and helpless girl, Reilly was also full of emotion. Minnie Mouse was so proud, as tall and beautiful as a snow lotus on an iceberg, but how long has it been? Confidence and pride have left her, and from this body full of cowardice and fear, there is no shadow of the original iceberg goddess.

"I've been working on a ritual to catch demons lately, and I'm missing a decoy. Reilly looked at Minnie Mouse and said, "If you're willing to take on this role, I'll take you in." ”

Minnie's face changed, and then she showed a resolute expression: "I do!"

Richard glanced at Minnie Mouse deeply, this woman's ruthlessness and decisiveness, even he was a little jealous.

You must know that once Reilly's plan fails, Minnie Mouse will inevitably be taken by the demon as a bait. As a student of Helen Su, it is impossible for Minnie to not see this risk, but she still accepts Reilly's conditions, which is gambling her soul on her future!

Ray glanced at Minnie Mouse with appreciative eyes and said, "Now it seems that Stevenson really doesn't deserve you." He soon erected an altar in the drawing-room, though Richard was skeptical of how useful such a rudimentary altar would be.

"You're stupid! If you use high-grade materials to make an altar, the strength of the summoning gate will also increase accordingly, what if the big demon inside escapes?"

"You're going to summon the Great Demon?!" Richard was taken aback, and a hint of horror flashed in Minnie's eyes.

"What's the matter? With the strength of this altar, he would throw at most two rank 10 miscellaneous soldiers over. Can't we handle it?" said Reilly, disapprovingly.

―――――――――― half an hour later――――――――――

Perhaps because the altar was so rudimentary, the ceremony did not go well. Seeing the light of the summoning door getting dimmer and dimmer, Minnie's expression became more and more desperate.

"Ahh

Richard opened his mouth in surprise, and Reilly gave Minnie a thumbs up, and even the mountains and the sea opened their eyes and looked at her.

In the Norland continent, Minnie Mouse was certainly not the first person to offer sacrifices to demons, but she was most likely the first to speak to demons in this way.

With Minnie's soulful cry, the summoning door released a dazzling light, and a terrifying aura suddenly descended.

"Human, your enlightenment, I have indeed received it. A humanoid phantom appeared in the magic array: "From today on, I am your master, you can call me Dantarin." ”

Reilly made a mage salute to Dantarin and said, "Honorable lord, are you going to take this woman with you?" His words startled Richard, this turned out to be a lord-level demon.

But Tallinn looked at Reilly and said, "Human, let's make a deal." His tone was not stern, but there was an unmistakable smell of his own.

Reilly smiled and said, "Excuse me, what kind of deal is it?"

"I will raise this woman's potential to the legendary level, and you will raise her to be a minor lord for me. ”

"So, what about the pay?"

"When I wage an all-out war against another level of the Abyss, you can get involved as an ally. In addition to the territory, you can pick all the loot first!"

"Sounds tempting......" Reilly didn't answer immediately, he looked over to Minnie Mouse and asked, "So, what is Miss Minnie's choice?"

Minnie said without hesitation: "I am willing to sign a soul contract and become a servant of Lord Dantarin!" She had already heard from the conversation just now, this demon in front of her was not a small lord, but a great lord who ruled an entire layer of abyss! In front of such a strong man, Minnie had no courage to resist at all. Although it is unlikely that the other party will be able to travel to the deep blue, they will definitely be able to take her soul through the connection with the altar.

Eventually, Minnie was given demonic blood by Dantarim and became a sorcerer. This class is particularly good at weakening enemies, making it a headache on the battlefield.

The girl had a sparkling black gem on her forehead, and when she was promoted to Legendary, the power of the gem would teleport her to the abyss where Tarin was.

β€œ...... Reilly, this Demon Lord seems to be too generous, doesn't he?" Richard said as he looked at Minnie Mouse suspiciously.

"The demon doesn't look at people like you, and this high lord may have thought that Minnie's soul has the potential of a legendary level, so he invested in her. And for him, what was thrown at Minnie Mouse was not worth mentioning at all. The big lord scrapes some powder from any horn, and there is more than that, but the small lord is different. To a demon lord, each minor lord is a precious treasure. Rayleigh paused and added, "Let's take you as an example, if there was a chance to bet on a third-order material with ten gold coins, what would you do?"

Richard thought for a moment and said, "I kind of understand what you mean. ”

In Norland, the hierarchy of materials is closely related to the magic pattern construction. In general, the core material of a third-order build is rated as a third-order material. Some materials that are not suitable for construction, but have the same value, will also be called third-order materials.

In Richard's impression, the price of third-order materials often exceeded 10,000, and if he could really gamble with ten gold coins, he didn't mind trying it himself.

Speaking of which, even if Minnie Mouse gets the demon bloodline, she may not be able to become a legendary powerhouse. For Dantarin, the price paid was a negligible one. If he loses, he doesn't take that loss seriously, and if he wins, he will gain a new little lord. It's already worth his gamble.
