850. Fairness
Nika was still a little flustered, but when she saw Surdak, she calmed down.
Surdak had only heard him say a few words about the magic pool when he was chatting with Lance before, and he didn't know what to do when he wasn't a magician after all, and when the knight's methods didn't work against Nika at all.
Perhaps Aphrodite knew that she was a learned succubus...... Surdak thought.
So, he hurriedly brought Nika into the living room, asked her to sit on the couch and wait for a while, then went into the bedroom alone, and called Aphrodite, who was lying drowsy next to the lava pool.
Aphrodite walked into the bedroom through the Void Door and asked Surdak what had happened.
Surdak didn't know how to explain it, so he brought her to Nika.
Aphrodite stepped out of the staircase and saw the pure light emanating from Nika's abdomen, a soft glow that was like a scorching flame in front of Aphrodite, making her reluctant to take another step.
Aphrodite stood at the top of the stairs, leaning into Surdak's ear with some annoyance, a hand on his shoulder, her soft body clinging to Surdak, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Nasty Priest of Light, you called me over...... Do you want me to kill her? ”
Surdak didn't expect Aphrodite to say this, so he was slightly stunned and whispered, "Isn't there anything different between her and me?" You don't have such an objection to me......"
Aphrodite said with some anger: "How can it be the same! You saved me, she didn't ......"
"She has no ill will towards you!" Surdak patted Aphrodite's soft hand and whispered: "I called you over, just to ask you to help me with some ideas, she is currently completely unable to control this power, but now I am afraid that her magic pool may have awakened, I want her to maintain and control this state, do you have any good way!" ”
Aphrodite stroked her long dark hair, pointed to the two spiky demon horns hidden in the thick long hair on the top of her head, and asked a little speechlessly:
"Doesn't it feel a bit disobedient to let a succubus teach the priest of light to control the power of light? The source of our succubus' power is on the wings, and the control of magic depends on the horns of demons, but you humans are different, you need to open a storage magic container in your body to learn to control magic......"
"How could I do this, you have a succubus that can do anything?"
Surdak was questioned, a little speechless.
“……”
Aphrodite didn't go to the living room, turned around and walked slowly upstairs with her long skirt, saying as she went, "Any magician can solve this...... But I can't, what about your magician friends? ”
"They're back in Roland." Surdak stood at the top of the stairs and said helplessly.
"I can't really help with this, maybe Celia. Cooper knows what to do ......"
After the succubus finished speaking, the figure was slowly walking upstairs.
It's just that with every step she takes, her body darkens.
When she was about to reach the jogging platform, her figure disappeared at the top of the stairs.
It looks like it's back to Puss Mountain......
Surdak thought of whether to call Count Fornak of the undead world, and wondered if the ghost would understand this, he reached out and felt the finger bone hanging around his neck, put it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it, thinking that the undead probably would not want to see a priest of light like Nika.
……
When Surdak walked back to the living room, Nika sat quietly on the leather sofa, curled up slightly, blocking the light from her belly with a small cushion.
She had calmed down, and the light did not cause her any discomfort.
She just didn't know what to do, and although she still didn't know what to do, at least Surdak was here now, so she wasn't so scared.
She only felt that a trace of strength in her limbs was constantly injected into the light cluster in her lower abdomen, and she quietly closed her eyes and quietly felt this inexplicable warm power.
It was like a bright afternoon, standing alone in an open field, the sky was cloudless, the bright sun was shining overhead, her body was like a transparent empty bottle, the sunlight shone into the bottle, and the faint light was refracted in it.
She found that she was able to keep the light......
I felt that soft shimmer in my lower abdomen, and that was it.
Unfortunately, she couldn't condense the light in the palm of her hand as Surdak said, and Nika felt that she might just not have mastered the essentials of the technique, and with a lot of practice, she would be able to control the light in her lower abdomen.
After calming down, she was not so worried at this time.
Seeing Surdak walking into the living room, he quickly got up from the sofa and said to Surdak: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll go and prepare ......."
"Uh...... How are you feeling right now? ”
Seeing Surdak's eyes staring at him with concern, Nika's little face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "I don't have any special feelings, it's just that it has been emitting light, which makes me a little unaccustomed." ”
"I guess...... You may have awakened the magic pool that ordinary people dream of, but unfortunately I'm not a magician, and I know almost nothing about it. Cooper can help you, and we'll wait for Selena and Signa to come. ”
Surdak sat across from Nika, then held out his hand, palm up, flat on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Follow me and we can try again, can we control it like this...... These elemental powers. ”
As he spoke, Surdak looked intently at his palm, and a hot and billowing ball of light appeared in his palm.
This is very different from the gentle Holy Light Technique, which is filled with a strong aura of Holy Light.
Nika also spread her hands on the coffee table very obediently, but unfortunately no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't gather a trace of light in her palm.
……
In the town of Dodan, the Aboriginal slum is just one street away from the wealthy immigrant area of the Empire, and the street is lined with shops on both sides, which are shaded by the shops, so passers-by cannot see the living quarters behind the shops.
At the end of the street is the edge of the town next to the riverbank, which is considered a crossroads, but there are few pedestrians and vehicles, and a group of aboriginal children usually play in this square.
Recently, however, the square has been enclosed with a curtain, and it is said that a temple of two goddesses will be built throughout the square.
For this, the nobles of Dodan town also donated a lot of money.
It is said that the nobles chose the gate of the Temple of the Goddess of Dawn on their side, and the side near the aboriginal ghetto was the gate of the Temple of the Goddess of the Night.
At present, Selena comes to the square every morning after the vegetables and meat prices are set in the free market, and once in the afternoon before dark, and every time she comes here, she only pays attention to the progress of the construction of the Temple of the Goddess of the Night.
The temple was built with square granite cornerstones, and only the roof of the building had a triangular wooden roof.
Selena is very demanding on this temple of the goddess of the night, and even every layer of stone is built, she has to carefully inspect it, and the internal layout of the building is reserved, which can basically be clearly expressed, and it feels like she has lived in a similar temple.
The construction team had to ask Selena to confirm every morning and evening before starting construction, otherwise if something was wrong, Selena would not hesitate to ask for it to be dismantled and reworked.
In view of Selena's strict construction requirements, the construction team also used the same standards when building the Temple of the Goddess of Dawn at the same time.
The Temple of Dawn was overseen by Baron Martino, who was a lazy and casual man, and rarely asked the construction team to do this or that, as long as he could roughly understand the construction drawings and build them roughly according to the construction drawings.
But the construction team didn't know that the two temples were completely independent, they had already knocked out the foundations of the temples and dug deep basements in the square, and since Selena checked the progress of the project every day, the construction team didn't dare to be lazy.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Selena walked out of the square construction site, pulled up Signa, who was waiting outside under the eaves of the street shop, and walked home along a quiet alley in the town.
……
Holding the magic notes, Signa jumped up and down behind Selena, flicking the braids on her head.
Now she is not so afraid of life, but wherever she goes, she likes to hold that magic notebook.
Signa expertly pushed open the gate and ran to the swing in the yard and sat down for a while.
"Signa, aren't you coming in?" Selena stood at the door and said to Signa in the courtyard.
"Okay, I'll be right away...... "Signa obediently jumped off the swing, then quickly followed behind her mother and followed Selena into the small building.
Walking through the corridor, I saw Surdak and Nika sitting on the sofa in the living room, Surdak had the power of light burning in his palm, and explained to Nika seriously, and although Nika did not have the power of light in her palm, her lower abdomen was ......
Selena was slightly stunned, then walked over slowly and asked gently, "What are you doing?" ”
Seeing Nika holding a slightly shiny lower abdomen, Signa felt an inexplicable disgust in her heart, and she didn't even want to get close.
It was an instinctive rejection of her body, and she stood in the hallway, hiding her body behind a stone pillar and peering towards the living room.
Selena sat down next to Surdak, and seeing Nika's frustration, she asked Surdak:
"What's wrong with Nika?"
Surdak turned his head to look at Selena, and then said:
"I feel like she's awakened to the magic pool, but she doesn't know how to control it, and I'm in a completely different situation with her, she can't use my experience to control it, we're trying, but it doesn't work."
"It's not the power of the Light, it's more like pure Light," he added.
"If there's nothing to do, I'd like to go upstairs and rest for a while." Signa poked her head out from behind the stone pillar, spoke quickly, and prepared to run upstairs.
Surdak hurriedly shouted to Sighna:
"Signa, I want to talk to Celia. Wizard Cooper for a few words, can you lend me that magic notebook? ”
Signa paused, then walked up to Surdak, handed Surdak the magic note, and said with a smile, "Of course, it was originally yours." ”
The little face was full of reluctance, and at this time she was not in a hurry to go upstairs, so she sat beside Selena obediently.
Surdak turned the last page of the magic note......
Celia in Magical Notes. Cooper looked helplessly at Surdak, who stood in the fence of the page, looking at Nika with a complicated expression.
"Light and darkness are always opposites!"
"But now you let me see that two people with very different life trajectories can live together very harmoniously, and every night they burst out with infinite enthusiasm for life......
"Alright! If that's all I want, I can live with it......"
"After all, I don't have the right to choose, but you can't let a dark mage take the initiative...... Willingly...... Help a future White Mage or Priest of Light...... It's not fair! ”
"It's also an insult to the black magician, a pure insult! You are trampling on the last bit of my dignity! ”
Celia in the book. Cooper's impassioned remarks left Surdak speechless.
He scratched his head and said with a sneer:
"It's not that serious! Celia. Cooper, I just wish she could control the magic in her body like a normal magician, make her look normal, like those magicians, and then ...... The rest of the way is up to her. ”
Hearing Surdak say this, Celia. Cooper sighed lightly, then said:
"She awakened the magic pool without participating in the magic awakening ceremony, which is extremely rare in the Grimm Empire, but it is not in history that she can awaken the magic pool without herself, in fact, before the great sage created the magic awakening ceremony, the magicians born of human beings almost always rely on self-awakening, which depends on excellent talent and luck."
She turned her head to Nika, as if to Surdak, and as if to Nika:
"I taught her to meditate, in fact, meditation is trying to contact the magical power in the body, control these magical powers, not to say that according to your command, you also have to guide and integrate, in the use of spiritual power to slowly and carefully perceive, the magic pool has a barrier at the beginning of its birth, the magician continues to advance, but also the process of the magic pool continues to grow, try to converge the magic power in your body......"
Signa stared at Nika for a few moments before she asked Surdak tentatively:
"Nika has already awakened the magic pool, and it seems that there is no need to go to Wilkes City to participate in the magic awakening ceremony, so don't we need to go to Wilkes?"
Signa was still very resistant to going to Wilkes City.
After all, what she will master in the future is dark magic, which is the same as undead magic and voodoo magic in the Grimm Empire, but it is not a mainstream magic, and it will be troublesome if she is not convicted of heretical.
And Celia. Cooper herself is a member of the Dark Arts Order, a wanted officer of the Grimm Empire's Magic Guild, and how could she have any good impression of the Magic Guild......
