Chapter 36: Sleepless Nights
Although the dark energy used this time was huge, for Li Yun, who was full of Force, it was the easiest of all the major consumptions in the past. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć InfoBecause he was concerned about the safety of the house, Li Yun didn't bother to find any suitable souls, and quickly broke away from everyone and returned to the Earl's Palace.
Without alerting the guard knights outside, Li Yun entered the house directly through a window on the third floor. After greeting Albert and Yu, who were on duty at night, Li Yun returned to his room, took off his outfit, and just loosened a few buttons. There was a soft knock on the door, "Come in!" Li Yun responded. It was Yue who came in, "Master, the water temperature is just right, are you going to wash?" Yue said as she took a pair of soft-soled velvet slippers and half-knelt to take off the long bucket of soft leather boots for Li Yun.
Li Yun bent down and leaned over the white and tender face of the moon and said, "How is it?
"Not at all, the sisters found it very interesting, unlike what they had been exposed to before, these etiquettes had never been seen before, but they were very useful to the people being served. Sister Wu said that only by learning these things can you better serve the master, and everyone is very attentive!" "Listening to the moon talk is a pleasure, like a murmuring stream, soothing and beautiful.
"Well, that's so good! Listen to you, go wash the mud!" Li Yun walked out of the room in his slippers. On the third floor there are two separate bathrooms, one of which is for Lana's exclusive use. In this era, there was no high-pressure water and no showers, and the huge wooden barrels that could be sat on were filled with hot water, which was basically enough, maybe the rich had a few more petals in the bathtub or something, not to mention the fragrance, and even people didn't know what the soap horn was. It is precisely because of this that Li Yun brought convenient daily necessities to the world. Although it is far from being as good as in the original world, at least the prototype is there. That alone was enough to make him a huge profit.
It was Yue and Xiao who were waiting for him to bathe, although there was no physical relationship, but for Li Yun, that kind of need was just a look. The goblins are ready to do whatever it takes to serve their masters. So there is nothing embarrassing about Li Yun being naked. Although Yue Hexiao's face was shy, his hands were not ambiguous at all. Rub your body, relax, absolutely in place. Of course, it is a kind of enjoyment to be served, and almost everyone has a common problem, that is, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and after getting used to enjoyment, it will become very difficult for him to live an ordinary life. Li Yun has this feeling now, although he has been very careful to use the memories from Julio, but I have to say that compared to before, he has become much more complicated, and his needs have also increased a lot. Even if you return to your old life, your state of mind can no longer be as indifferent as before.
"Who is in charge of inspecting our drinking water and food today?" Li Yun asked, closing his eyes slightly and feeling the steaming water.
"It's Sister Yu. Everything works fine, nothing special. Moon replied.
Nodding, "What about the surrounding situation?Are there any people who have found abnormal energy fluctuations?" Although Yue They are not mages, after inheriting some of his energy, it is not difficult to perceive energy fluctuations. One of the problems that Li Yun was worried about was that Sutton invited a certain mad mage, a distant explosion of flames or lightning strikes, and bombarded the Earl's Palace. The reputation is still secondary, and it takes a lot of effort to get those furniture utensils, and if Li Yun wants to get another batch in a short time, it will really change.
"No, we monitor everyone who enters a safe distance, and the occasional energy fluctuation is within normal limits. ā
"What about you ShadowClans, you know how they behave, and if they do, they should be discovered quickly. ā
"No, since our accident, even the people who settled in the foothold have been evacuated. The host in Nesmead is Xiao's mother, who is also very famous in the clan for her alertness, and there is no clue left in that foothold, and I don't think it will be used again. ā
"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get out of here, I would like to go to your retreat and solve the problem once and for all. Except for you and me, no one here can survive the ShadowClan's surprise attack. It's a big headache. ā
"Why don't I go back with my sisters?" Xiao said lightly, biting her lower lip.
"What are you going to do? The other people can't think in the way you think about things. Nothing good to gain other than knowing that you have betrayed us utterly and that we have come closer to determining our strength. Besides, your longevity is only based on ordinary circumstances, and with your current abilities, you can't fight against the ShadowClan as a whole, and I don't want to see any damage from you. If you want to share my worries, you have to become stronger step by step. That's the root of the problem. ā
"Yes, master, we will certainly live up to the love of our master. ā
"Well, remember what I said, take it one step at a time, improve your strength in a down-to-earth manner, don't take it lightly, don't try any dangerous methods, I'm still in an unstable state, and I don't have the ability to solve the vicious problems that may arise in you. Letting those powers really be used by you is the most important thing now. Li Yun seemed to be settling Yue Hexiao, but he was actually admonishing himself. During this time, he was like a gluttonous fellow, and he collected a lot of things, but those things were not even really familiar with, let alone mastered. There is so much wealth and knowledge left in this world that it can only be useful if you truly make it a part of yourself. For some time afterward, he was not prepared to add any more intellectual wealth. Aside from the battle with Sutton, the rest of the time was spent digesting what was already there.
After bathing, Li Yun returned to his room and took out the horn-like container that contained the soul from the space bag. He's still using Julio's stuff. It was long overdue to refine his own items, but because the conditions did not allow it, he could only put it off again and again, and he, who was supposed to be a warrior or mage, now had to do everything to serve as a liar. It's a ridiculous challenge.
The horn-like container was not too difficult for the soul, at least it was a place where the soul energy would not drain slowly, and the limited dark energy would allow him to replenish it a little. "What do you call it?" Li Yun asked the soul prisoner with a special soul exchange in necromancy.
"Seleburn!" It was a long time before Li Yun heard such an answer.
"I know you're feeling unlucky, and maybe it seems to you that for you and those few ancient souls who are unwilling to disappear, I'm just picking up the lucky ones who are cheap for your opponents. Indeed, I have read your writings, and according to the knowledge above, any one of you in your heyday could compete with me now, but if you give me half a year, I can be sure that I can easily defeat any of you. If I were given three years of ample time, even if the eight of you were tied together, you would have to run as far as you could!"
This time, except for a cold snort, there was no movement.
"You may think I'm talking big, but that's because you don't know my peculiarity, as an elite member of another plane of the dark race known for their agility and weirdness, I absorbed the power of another race much more powerful than me, took on the blood of divinity and fused a drop of blood of the dragon god of the forest in this world, Karushu. As long as I fully grasp the power of the mutation, unless you can cast spatial magic in an instant, my weapon will kill you when the spell is released. ā
"You're not a creature of this plane, could it be that this plane has already been conquered!" Li Yun's words finally made the arrogant soul react.
"No, I'm just an unlucky ghost who was tricked by the creator god of your world, I have to work for him, and his enemies are going to fight again!"
"Legion of Destruction?" the soul seemed surprised.
"Yes, it seems that you know them well!"
"In fact, I'm one of the dark mages who survived the first Legion of Destruction. "Having found a common language, the soul seemed to be a little emotional.
"You're one of those native creatures who have taken refuge in the Legion of Destruction?"
"No, in fact, my companions and I do want to gain great power and knowledge by selling our souls. But we are too weak for those demons, and we can only serve as cannon fodder for the most devout dark believers. Our legion also has the name 'Plague'. After decades of war, the Legion of Doom was defeated, and the Legion of Plague was certainly not spared, and the big men were either dead or escaped or sealed away. And we fled in all directions, most of us died on the run, and the eight of us were lucky enough to escape the round-up with the Book of Dark Knowledge that the dark gods had bestowed upon us. We thought that with those powerful books, we would be stronger. ā
"And then?" Li Yun was very interested in this history.
"The devil is always wiser than man, and the dark god is wiser than the devil. Those books of dark knowledge were not lost during the rout, but were deliberately left behind by the Dark God. The truly powerful knowledge has long since been taken away by their right-hand servants!"
Li Yun snorted coldly, "I'm afraid this is one of the evil seeds spilled by the evil gods on this land, the greed caused by the thirst for knowledge and the pursuit of power. ā
"Soon after the war was over, the Evil Gods found us through those books, and they asked us to reopen the passage of space so that more Slayers and Doom Mages could come over. It was a bad decision, the magic fluctuations of the dimensional space gate would be easily perceived by the demigods who were still wandering around the world, and neither the Plane Guardians nor the angry evil gods after the defeat would make us just die so happily. So we refused. With the protection of the gods, the power of the evil gods cannot torment us in this plane and body, but they will never forgive us for our betrayal. As a result, countless commanded creatures of darkness began to hunt us down. Even if we lose the books of dark knowledge, it will be useless, for our souls have long been registered in the books of the gods. ā
"So you finally found a gap in the space where all energy was cut off, and at the same time no energy could be generated, and you hid there and survived. Ever since you got there, you've been planning to go out again one day. So there is everything there and well-laid traps. ā
"It's pretty much the same, but it's even worse, we went out once, but because of the betrayal, we couldn't get the gift of the dark gods. Dark energy is not ingested at all. Moreover, the other dark cultists also live like rats, and finding a few little dark energy to suck is not enough to consume when looking for it. We try to find a strong being, but we are left with only constant disappointment. Finally, after building several portals into spatial rifts around the world, we decided to sleep. ā
"You must not die, and you will not die, and once you lose your last drop of power, you will fall into their hands because of the pact with the evil gods, and what awaits you will be eternal wailing and misery. Li Yun added.
"That's right!" the spirit seemed depressed.
"If I am the embodiment of luck, you are synonymous with bad luck, not dying in the era of cannon fodder but in exchange for the trouble that you can never get out of. The best thing besides escaping is concealment. With knowledge, you can't become stronger, but only weaken day by day. You are like animals that turn themselves into fish forever when the tide comes, and as soon as you learn to swim, the tide recedes, and you die of thirst. However, I appeared, and I am your savior. In fact, due to the different ways of being, the form in which energy forms and exists is also different. In our world, God has left us. It's not like this world, as long as you pray sincerely, even a bird can use some divine power. There, if you want to be a special being, ability and luck are indispensable. Even if you become a special being, you won't get much power. What you have obtained is only a qualification, and if you want to improve, it all depends on your own accumulation. In this respect, we are not as dependent as you are. What we have accumulated is the most primitive power, called the Force, and the effect of it is only affected by the type of skill and our own physical characteristics. For example, my previous special power was fire, and the others had ice, earth, and so on. ā
"A world without gods!?" the spirit sighed.
"Well, maybe God has given us all up, and the world is just a slogan, like long live. ā
"Pure energy, you can transform the power you need according to your body, so you don't have to pray to any god at all?" The soul finally realized that Li Yun was special.
"No, all I need is the sun or the moon!"
"Oh my God!, maybe with a drop of your blood, we can solve our existential crisis!"
Note: Originally, according to Li Yun's character, it was impossible to explain his identity so honestly, and there was no need for it to happen. The reason why I wrote it and found some reasons to patch it is because many whites think that what I write can't be understood, so I can only use the protagonist's mouth to give him a positioning and summary, so that readers who don't like to think can understand where the protagonist is different at all. At the same time, a simple summary of what kind of power the protagonist now has.
