Chapter 43: Whispering in the Abyss

On this night, Leon took a total of five apprentice-level potions, namely: Flame Salamander, Spirit of Nature, Demon Resistance, Light of the Wind, and Clear Radiance of the Cold Moon.

Among them, the flame salamander can greatly increase his recovery from trauma and reduce the risk of wound infection.

The Flame Salamander is a wonderful creature that can be reborn with severed limbs, although this potion has nothing to do with the Flame Salamander, and it cannot be reborn with severed limbs, but it can quickly scab over wounds and stop bleeding, making it one of the most popular potions among warriors on the black market.

Nature Spirit: Slightly increases his Nature Affinity, and slightly increases his resistance to sorcery and magic.

The reason why Lagaia was able to command the vines to make way for her was a sign that her natural affinity had accumulated to an extremely high level.

At the same time, increasing the affinity for nature will also increase the affinity for wildlife.

Of course, this potion has a limited effect, and is limited to when the two of you are hunted by a hungry beast together, with the beast chasing your companion first.

But if it's just you, I'm sorry, the beast also wants to eat just right, at best it won't gnaw at your bones.

Demon Resistance: Able to reduce the damage caused by demonic power to the body, this potion is quite appropriate for witchers.

Light Wind: It can reduce one's own weight and air resistance, which is very useful for both infiltration and agility.

Cold Moon Radiance: Under the light of the moon, the body will be strengthened in a small way in all directions, complementing the body of Managarm.

These are the potions that Angelina has carefully configured, and are most suitable for witchers.

Taking potions in large quantities in a short period of time is actually a huge burden on the body, and if it weren't for the fact that these potions were made by a potions master like Ms. Angelina, ordinary wizards would only think it was a fantasy when they heard that someone had taken five potions in a row.

But Rao is so, and he is about to face the serious problem of drug resistance.

Once the resistance has accumulated to a certain level, during the apprenticeship phase, any potions he takes will be ineffective or even neutralized.

And before he reaches that threshold, he has to stop taking potions, otherwise it will be bad if he is seriously injured and needs the potion to continue his life.

The hardships of taking potions were aside, and it wasn't until late at night that he had the opportunity to lie in bed for two or three hours.

He was tired from a long day's hard work, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took.

In a trance, Leon felt as if he was sinking into the deep sea, and cold hands were clutching him all around.

Boundless darkness enveloped him.

In the darkness, a terrifying shadow surrounded by raging flames stood proudly, like the center of the whole world, and its eyes spewed blazing light.

"I am the great king of the Black Prison, the only true god who rules all things, Osiris, like a mortal, and I don't hurry to bow down to me!"

Leon realized almost immediately that he was asleep and overheard the demon's whisper.

Dante mentioned in his lecture on demonology that many high-order demons have a bad taste for seducing humans as their minions.

They use various means to trick humans into signing contracts with them, and in the contracts, they often insidiously leave many loopholes.

The result is often the devouring of the greedy soul of the contractor.

But in fact, these demons are separated by layers of abyss, as long as you don't sign a contract with them, they have almost no way to help you.

The so-called King of the Black Prison sounds like a cowhide, and I'm afraid he is also a warden of the Abyss Prison.

Seeing that Li Ang was unmoved, the so-called King of the Black Prison spoke again: "I can fulfill your three wishes, whether it is to become a king and hold great power, or to sit on countless gold and silver treasures, or to hold beautiful concubines from various countries, I can satisfy you." ”

Leon finally spoke: "Any wish?"

The King of the Black Prison said in a loud voice, "Great Osiris is capable of anything. ”

Li Ang said decisively: "Then I make a wish for world peace." ”

"What?"

The King of the Black Prison was stunned, and said in disbelief: "You say it again?"

Leon repeated: "I said that I wish for world peace, that all people's hearts will be filled with good thoughts, and that there will be no more wars, famines, epidemics, and deaths. ”

The King of the Black Prison did not seem to have expected such an answer at all, it was by no means a tempting novice, but no one had ever made such a wish.

Although the demon contract is full of loopholes that they have carefully prepared, it is actually a two-way bondage, and they must first complete the contractor's commission before they can collect their souls.

What Leon proposed was something he couldn't do, and he didn't see the slightest sign of greed in Leon's eyes.

It's a hard stubble!

The King of the Black Prison was silent for a long time, so he had to say, "I can't do it, can I change my wish?"

Li Ang said with interest: "Didn't you say that you can do anything?"

The King of the Black Prison was not embarrassed, and wrote lightly: "Even the Supreme King of the Black Prison cannot make humanity stop fighting." ”

Leon spoke again: "Then I'll change it, I want all the demons in this world to be exterminated." ”

"Waste of time. ”

The King of the Black Prison grunted, and then was silent.

He seemed to realize that Leon was an expert who understood the devil's routines, and he didn't even say a cruel word, so he left stupidly.

Li Ang couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth: "That's it?"

He inexplicably gave birth to a feeling of anger and scam calls, as long as you bite to death and don't pay for it, the scammer will be helpless against you.

When I woke up, it was early in the morning.

Due to various factors such as potions and improved physical fitness, even if he only rested for less than three hours, he still felt refreshed.

After breakfast, say goodbye to Lagaia.

With the special rainbow light of the Rainbow Bridge, Li Ang once again started the arduous journey of a new day.

......

At the same time.

In the southeast of Sicily, a port city bathed in the thick fog of the early morning slowly wakes up, and the traffic is endless.

This is Syracuse.

After the Black Death destroyed the maritime trade of Messina, the first port of Sicily, Syracuse became the center of Sicilian trade again.

In Syracuse, it is known that Teresa is the only favorite daughter of Count Campbell, and Teresa's favorite toys are puppets of all kinds, so the whole of Syracuse gathers the best puppet carvers in Sicily.

Even in the Black Death, there were still people who gathered outside the Earl's Mansion every day with all kinds of puppets, hoping that Miss Teresa would be able to see her work, even though Miss Teresa had not been out for three days.

Today, however, the closed door suddenly opened.

Dressed in a long white dress and looking like an elf, Miss Teresa walked out under the protection of two guards, and the crowd suddenly boiled.

"Miss Teresa, you see my well-carved knight, even the war horse under the crotch is lifelike. ”

"Miss Teresa, look at the African elephant I made, I fought in the war against the Moors, and no one knows this beast better than I do. ”

"Look at the carpenter and the castle I sculpt. ”

“......”

Teresa looked at the various puppets and felt nothing but disappointment.

She was tired of these things, and she wanted to see something more novel.

In the midst of the noisy crowd, Teresa suddenly notices an alternative.

The puppeteer was not as noisy as the others, he was handsome in a clean linen shirt, and his smile was elegant and gentle, like a warm light.

Seeing Teresa coming, he handed out the puppet in his hand and said a little crampedly: "Dear Miss Teresa, I picked it up in the field, it doesn't look very good." ”

Who says their puppets are not good-looking?

Teresa was intrigued and took a closer look at the puppet.

It was a very unusual puppet.

Its lips are painted scarlet, its eyes are stitched with cross stitches, and the whole image is strange and distorted, like a demon, and even the first glance makes people feel chills.

No one would like such an ugly puppet at all.

Teresa didn't mind, and she wanted something new to come out of her cookie-cutter puppet castle, so she threw out a silver mark.

"It's okay, I love it. ”

"Thank you for your generosity. ”

The puppeteer bent down and bowed, looking at Miss Teresa who had taken the puppet, the corners of her mouth slightly arced, and at this moment, she looked like the puppet.

Back in her bedroom, Teresa happily placed the new puppet in her treasured locker, where the knight puppet, the princess puppet, the woodcutter, the hunter, ...... A variety of puppets almost make up a fairytale kingdom.

In order to accommodate this fairytale kingdom, this storage cabinet is also specially custom-made by craftsmen and is two meters long and wide.

There is a castle in the center, and there are walls and moats outside, but there is no water inside.

At the very edge of the locker, there is also a wood-carved grove of trees, lush with puppets of woodcutters and hunters at work.

In this era, only the pearl of the earl's palm can have such a luxurious childhood, and the nobles who are richer than him do not spoil a daughter so much.

Teresa placed the newly purchased puppet at the gate of the city, held up a knight puppet in bright armor, and said loudly: "Knight Senmut, evil monsters have invaded the great kingdom of Syracuse, as the guardian knight of Princess Clea, you must stand up and defend against monsters." ”

Claire is the princess in Teresa's puppet castle, and Senmut is her guardian knight, in the child's pure and young heart, probably the guardian knight who will not know the so-called princess, is generally a lover, the kind that can be responsible for sleeping with her.

She placed the princess puppet behind Senmut and said in a thick voice, "As the princess's guardian knight, I will protect you from all the wind and rain." ”

"Miss Teresa, it's time for breakfast. ”

The servant woman's cry came.

"Got it. ”

"I've just started a new script. ”

Teresa reluctantly put the puppet back in its place and left the room.

She didn't notice that the puppet's head, which had been sewn with a sewing needle, turned sharply to look at her back the moment she turned.

Immediately, the scarlet lips slowly pulled up a subtle arc.

When she returned, she was somewhat surprised to find that the entire puppet castle seemed to have been touched by someone, and the puppets were all huddled on the city walls, looking in horror at her newly purchased puppets.

And the monster-like puppet was standing under the city walls, raising its head and smiling at the puppets in the city.

"Lady Lisa, have you touched my puppet?"

She asked aloud.

"There is no Miss. ”

The servant named Lisa replied from afar, "We won't touch them without your orders." ”

"Who could that be?"

Teresa was a little confused, but she didn't think deeply.

With great interest, she rearranged the puppets, releasing the woodcutters and hunters back into the forest, the citizens back into the city, and the guards and knights on the walls.

Then he clapped his hands and said: "Everyone must do their part, even if a monster comes, the great princess's guardian knight Senmut will kill the evil devil with his own hands!"

The sunlight outside the window casts in, and the knight, painted with silver paint, shines in the sun.

"It's so cool. ”

Teresa loves the script for this latest demonic invasion.

Outside the door, Lisa shouted, "Miss Teresa, it's time to come out for class." Today, the lord has brought you a professional Greek teacher, who is said to have served as a court teacher for the royal family in Constantinople. ”

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

Teresa reluctantly ran out of the bedroom, and as it always was, couldn't it give me plenty of time to have a good time?
