Chapter 25: Sleepless Nights I
[This chapter is very pure, everyone introspective]
Salin and the others took up residence in Aini's shop, which had only two floors, one selling weapons, the second floor for people, and the basement was a warehouse.
There are only three bedrooms on the second floor, which were originally intended for servants, and there are not even guest rooms. Ani was a bit eccentric, he didn't need a servant, he ran the shop himself.
Saleen had planned to let Neris live with Sika, but Sika said nothing. She was the one who had seen Nellis in her original form, and she was afraid that this little devil would get up in the middle of the night and bite her throat.
In desperation, Salin had no choice but to let Nellis share a room with her.
Aini watched with strange eyes as Saleen argued with the two women, and then walked into a room with the scantily clad woman, wondering what the relationship between the three was.
Neris entered the bedroom and climbed straight into the soft queen bed. Saleen kicked his shoe off and pushed Neris down.
"You sleep on the floor. ”
"The hosts. ”
"Sit down!"
Nellis sat obediently on the floor, Saleen with her feet hanging on the edge of the bed, looking down at the little devil she had subdued.
Neris tucked her long black hair, her slender fingers running between the long hair, her chest erect, her legs curled up on the right side of her body. The slightly higher brow bone makes her eyebrows appear raised and almost fly diagonally into her sideburns. The eyelids are a little pink, as if they haven't woken up.
is obviously a noble and gorgeous appearance, but it has been changed into a small and lovely person by Nellis's lazy demeanor.
It's a pity that for Salin, contract creatures are the second most eye-catching, and the force value is the first. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Neris, what are you capable of?"
"Do you want to say it?" Neris moved forward, her toes curled and shiny.
"Well, say it all. ”
"What I'm best at is catching magic bugs. Demon insects are the most common creatures on the demon plane, and they are generally of a low rank. But these little things are very cunning, and it is not easy to catch. One of the most difficult to catch is a kind of bright aphid, which is protected by swarms of demon ants in juveniles, and can fly again when it reaches adulthood. There are also many types of demon ants, and the most difficult one to deal with is the fire demon ant......"
"Nellis!"
Salin didn't want to listen to Neris explain the entomology of the demon plane, he wanted to know what Neris could do on the continent of Myers. It's better to encounter fire demon ants than to commit suicide. Fire demon ants will keep their prey in their nests, and they will eat while raising them, which is very frugal.
"Master?" Neris looked at Salin in bewilderment, he had let herself say everything, and she had to start with what she was best at. The little devil has little combat power in the demon plane, and lives by eating demon insects, and can occasionally hunt some of the same kind. Although his bloodline is good, he is only a comparison between small demons.
"What do you think of Sika's combat power?" Salin also knew that he was a little impatient, the little demon had been locked up since he came to the Myers Continent, and it was impossible to understand the division of human forces on the continent now. He can only calculate Neris's strength by comparing the people around him.
"She doesn't seem to have much fighting!" Neris didn't understand what Salin meant. It seems that the master doesn't have much combat power, and thinking of this, Neris is a little happy. There is a legend in the Demon Plane that if you eat your master, the demon will have a bloodline mutation and will be able to gain unexpected abilities.
It's a pity that since humans descended on the demon plane, no demon has been able to eat their master. How much credibility does this legend have? Neris licked her lips and looked at Saleen's neck.
"What about you? How many seats have you played?"
"Master, it's hard to say. There was a nasty energy in Shika's body, and there was a strange smell in her blood. I don't know what's going to happen when I do it, or I'm going to sneak a bite out of her now?"
Saleen gas knot. Nellis didn't know anything about the continent's power system, she only knew that she could not really fight with Sika by fighting.
"What about the White Butler you met in the Swamp of Chaos that day, how are you compared to him?" Salin asked persistently, hoping to gain some insight into Neris's abilities.
"It's not good, it's weak, it's not as good as some ordinary demons. ”
"So you can't beat him?" Salin wasn't easy to fool, although Neris spoke disdainfully, but Salin noticed that she was comparing the white deacon to the demon. The demon is more advanced than the little devil, which means that Nellis feels that she can't beat the white butler.
Nellis pouted, shrugged, and answered Salin's question in a very human way.
It's hard to communicate with demons, even with a soul contract. Humans are not demons and will never know what demons are thinking.
"How much space is in the bracelet?" Saleen decided to ask something practical. Now he roughly knew that Neris was a little stronger than Shika and weaker than the White Deacon. If you divide it according to the rank of the professional, it is probably between level 4 and level 6.
No matter what level it is, you can't beat the Juggernaut.
Neris rolled her eyes, looked around the room, and replied quickly, "It's one hundred and twenty-four the size of this room." ”
No matter how good Salin's mathematical knowledge is, he can't calculate how much space this is all at once. He gestured with his hand and said, "This is about one cubic foot, how many cubic feet do you calculate the space inside the bracelet?"
"It's about 775 cubic feet. "The calculating power of the little devil's brain embarrassed Salin, and Neris's answer was as fast as instantaneous magic.
This number Salin can intuitively understand, 775 cubic feet, about more than 20 times the space of the Gift Ring, Aini's bracelet is indeed a high-end product, there is no deception.
"Master, why do you seem to trust that child?" there was nothing wrong with Nellis calling Aini a child, she had lived for tens of thousands of years.
"Sleep. Saleen yawned. He could also see that Neris didn't want to say anything to herself about her abilities. The biggest possibility is that this little devil has not awakened at all because he has not reached adulthood.
It's a pity that he has read too few demon books before, otherwise he can at least know which lineage Neris belongs to and what abilities she will have when she grows up.
"Yes. Seeing that Salin turned over and lay on the bed, Nellis stopped talking, and she lay on the floor, her eyes staring at the wall in front of her, and she was dazed.
"Nellis ......"
"Master?"
And then. Salin took a gem from his Gift Ring and threw him out of bed. Nellis smiled, took the gem, and hid it in the bracelet.
Salin couldn't sleep either, so he picked out the less rare gems from the Ring of Gifts, threw them down one by one, and Neris took them one by one and put them in the bracelet.
Salin cleared the space inside the Ring of Grace as he pondered Neris's question. Do you trust Ani? The two have just met, and of course they don't have much trust. But trust is something that is cultivated over time. If you don't trust someone in the first place, you'll never be able to have a deep relationship with that person.
But this time it was a bit risky, and the transaction between himself and Aini exceeded the value of two million gold coins.
At the beginning, because of a gold coin, he almost died, but now it is 2 million gold coins. Such a contrast made Salin uneasy. Although Aini was jealous of Neris, once he entered the Qin Yin Empire and arrived on the territory of the Clyde family, this jealousy no longer existed.
Saleen couldn't sleep, and neither could Schika. She poured out all the gems, ores, and things she didn't know from her skin and stacked them on the bed.
Get rich! Sika held the cold ore in his hand, and his heart was hot.
With the money, it seems like it's time for me to go home and not have to continue to take risks. The outside world is too chaotic and dirty. But can Saleen do it without himself? There's another restless little devil by his side.
Shika's mood suddenly became heavy again. Thinking of the experience of getting acquainted with Salin, she recalled not the embarrassing appearance of Salin peeping at her bathing, as if in her memory, the clearest thing was that after she was injured, Saleen said to her seriously: "Xika, I'm not a priest, don't be so desperate in the future......"
Yes, he's just a magician, not a priest, and doesn't need his own protection.
Ani couldn't sleep either, and he lay on his bed with a whole leather pocket of gems beside him. In his hands, these gems could be sold for a higher price, enough for him to buy the materials he needed to become a necromancer.
But the bracelet that his parents gave him was sold, and the thought of it made Ani's heart ache.
Kill Saleen?
No, that's very immoral, and that Neris is very powerful, and she can use such a high-level space prop, at least a great magician. No wonder Salin's teacher dared to let this first-level magician go out to practice, with a great magician by his side to protect him, even in the Qin Yin Empire, few people were willing to touch this mold.
Ani is still young, and despite some hardships in life, her heart is still pure. He remembered Salin's clean smiling face, and the casual question.
"Can you buy Necromantic Flame?"
Aini's heart warmed, and he had never seen such a sincere expression after his parents were imprisoned in disguise. Salin is a magician with a strong heritage, and he does not discriminate against him as a person who has lost his magic strings. How can you live up to the trust of your friends?
Millions of gold coins are nothing, as long as you become a mage again, even if you are a necromancer, you can regain the attention of your family. As long as you are in charge of a big city, millions of gold coins are circulating in your hands every year. Can more gold be exchanged for the friendship of a magician?
Just as Aini's heart was about to burst with pride, a scream rang out from Salin's room.
It's Nellis!
"Master, it hurts!...... Itchy!"
"Don't scream, bear with me. ”
"I can't help it, master, I know it's wrong, woo......"
Aini and Sika held their breath in their respective rooms and listened carefully as Neris groaned, as if she was suffering something. Aini's face flushed, and she jumped on the chuang and covered her head with the quilt.
Sika's face was very gloomy, that little devil actually wanted to seduce Salin?
"Whew...... Master, it's still very uncomfortable!" Neris screamed much quieter, but still pierced through the wall and spread on the second floor of the shop. Shika angrily banged her club against the wall and shouted, "Be quiet, others still have to sleep!"
