Chapter 22: The Eye Demon
Dust-like crystals swirl and float in the air, these crystals are not really elements, but products formed by the elements, Edward's meditation is to get more elements used to the nucleus in his body, and let his nucleus gradually expand under the influence of the elements that are constantly moving in and out.
After a night of meditation, Edward was already very tired, and after feeling the dark elements around him decrease somewhat, he realized that it was dawn.
Slowly pushing out of the meditative state, Edward decided not to expose the fact that he was a mage, and chose to meditate at night and rest and sleep during the day.
"Anyway, for myself, there is no difference between day and night, and it is not good to meditate with Sophie during the day, and no one disturbs me when I am quiet at night. ”
As he lay down, Edward couldn't sleep, and in the darkness he thought about what he could do, he couldn't just eat and drink in vain.
I'm afraid that tomorrow, if that Leila sees that she is not dead, she will think of squeezing her remaining value, and with Sophie's financial resources, she can't support herself at all, and she can't do anything.
It may become a mage's research material and a guinea pig, or it may be sent to a fireworks venue to be discarded as a disposable commodity.
Of course, this kind of thing will definitely not be told to Sophie, Edward believes that Leila will only tell Sophie that she has found a kind boss who is willing to adopt her, and Sophie will not ask too much, and happily send herself away.
Sophie once said that as long as she has two wind coins, she can buy herself the household registration of a normal resident, and then she can go out and live there. ”
Two Wind Coins should be a lot of money, and Edward was now wondering how to make it.
First of all, he definitely has no ability to make money, no matter how good his method is, it is useless, a three-second delay and blind eyes will make him fail easily, and he has no capital, Sophie and Leila will not believe in themselves.
"But why didn't you tell Sophie about being a mage, Lyra?"
Whether it is revenge or revenge, it does not mean much to Edward, Edward wants more to obtain a kind of liberation, rather than living in such a muddy way.
To solve her own problems, it is by no means possible in the short term, and even Jacorina is powerless to do anything about her own situation, let alone with her current strength.
Edward had the feeling that only the black fish and the white fish could solve the problems in his body, and whether it was the black fish or the white fish, Edward had no clue about the white spots, and he didn't know where these two fish were.
The white fish was pinned to the bottom of the lake and could not swim, and the black fish did not know where he ran after that, and if he wanted to find the most reliable white fish, he had to find the lake.
For Edward, it is not easy to live, there is no love in life, and there is no sorrow in death.
Originally, he didn't have any relatives in this world, and then he was snatched like goods, and Edward had no nostalgia for this world and his own life.
The last bit of hope was given by Sophie, but after the calm of reality, Edward was grateful to Sophie, and knew that his existence was not a good thing for Sophie, and he was not a strong and genius in his previous life, nor was he in this life, after suffering this ordeal, all Edward could do was escape.
Edward had already made up his mind, telling Sophie and Lyla about being a mage, and asking Sophie to hand him over for a reward, and at least to return the money for the Wind Coins.
......
"Edward was sleeping inside. Sophie didn't call Edward when she saw him sleeping when she came over in the morning, and now she came to Edward's door with Leila and a few people she didn't know, and spoke to Lyra.
Edward in the house was woken up by the Calamity Slime hidden in his left eye, and sat up after hearing the conversation outside, Edward did not have the ability to get dressed himself, so he always slept with his clothes on.
"Squeak"
The door was pushed open, but Sophie was the only one who came in, and Edward shifted his ear slightly towards the doorway.
"Sister Leila, have you really found a job that Edward can do?" Sophie still didn't believe it, she didn't believe that there really was a job that Edward could do, if there was, how could Sister Leila let herself make some money?
Leila smiled and said, "Of course, you can earn two small magic coins in one day, so that you can earn one wind coin soon, Sophie, you can get back to your capital!"
"But Edward's brain is slow, he walks slowly, his eyes can't see, and he doesn't have the strength to ......" Sophie still doesn't believe Edward can get a job.
"That's what we need!" Several people behind Leila smiled, and one of them said kindly, "What we want him to do is very simple, just sit in the place we asked for a day." ”
"Can I go then?" asked Sophie, who also wanted to go over and make some money.
"No, Sophie, you haven't finished your homework yet! Give me the honest homework, and I'll bring Edward to you!" Leila decisively refused Sophie's request, and severely reprimanded Sophie, "You are a noble mage, how can you do that kind of work with the grass for this money!"
The mages behind Leila smiled and said they didn't speak, and if Sophie was willing to do something like that, they wouldn't object.
After Sophie showed an aggrieved expression, Leila also said comfortingly: "Sophie, don't worry, this mission is issued by the City Lord's Mansion, if Edward performs well, he will definitely be rewarded by the City Lord, and then you will be able to do easier work, and you can also get two wind coins, when the time comes, we will each have one, you don't have to pay back my money, you can get another wind coin." ”
After hearing that it was the task issued by the city lord, Sophie relieved her heart and said to Edward, "Edward, you must work hard!"
Edward nodded without hearing the rest of the group, signaling that he had heard Sophie's words.
Sophie also explained to Lyra: "Sister Lyra, Edward, he is very busy walking, especially when he turns a corner, he has to react slower, you have to lead him to walk slowly." ”
"Okay!" Lyra felt troublesome, but because of this, Edward was chosen, so she could only reluctantly agree.
Edward could sense that these people had come with malice, a kind of schadenfreude.
A strong sense of resentment arose in Edward's heart, and the power of this resentment made Edward want to open his left eye and look at the world and see the mage apprentices in front of him who ignored him and took charge of his life and misfortune at will.
When Leila and the mage apprentices around her left Sophie's house, they didn't care about Edward's reaction at all, and told Edward clearly that they were going to send Edward to the street and make it food for the devils, as long as the demons ate enough flesh and soul, they would leave.
"Trash, hurry up and be afraid, fear is the best guide to call the devil!" the surrounding mages sneered at Edward from time to time, as long as Edward and the rest of the grass were eaten by the devil, then they would be safe.
There were already three victims in the city, and now the devil was storming the house of the mage Elwin, destroying everything there, and Erwin could only stay in the mage guild and not dare to go out.
Why do you always target me? What did I do wrong? Haven't I been hurt enough by you?
The people in front of him may have been bored and didn't pay attention to Edward anymore, and Leila also helped Edward's hands with a rope, and did not hold Edward's hand like Sophie did.
So none of these people noticed that Edward, who was walking at the back, opened his left eye, and at this time his left eye was no longer the flesh hole without eyes, but a rotating black liquid, which would not flow out of the eye socket, and in the process of turning, countless silk threads swarmed out of his left eye and flew into the sky in front of him.
Edward finally saw the five people in front of him clearly, in addition to Leila, there were three men and one woman, and unlike usual, Edward now saw their pale souls.
......
Raising its vague head beyond the distortion of destruction and killing in Master Erwin's house, it leaped to its feet, flying directly through the house into the sky, and after falling, it quickly headed for the place where the destruction, distortion, resentment, death, and other negative forms converged in front of it.
......
The official mages in Mach City also felt the mysterious power that suddenly appeared in the city, this mysterious supernatural power has always been unwilling to encounter by mages, they are extremely aggressive, and very difficult to deal with.
"Mage Ressa, what should we do now?" The city is also taking refuge in the Mage Guild, and the warriors have no way to deal with the mysterious powers, so they can only count on these mages.
Ressa is a full-fledged mage, a second-level mage, and there is only one way he can think of, "Continue to send people out to serve as food for those negative bodies, the negative bodies that do not attack randomly are definitely the summons of the mages who are more powerful than me, all we can do is to provide food to the other party, so that the other party can leave satisfied, and there is no other way to defeat the enemy that we can't see or touch!"
The city lord is unwilling to do this, and it doesn't matter if the dead person is killed, but no one knows how much the other party has eaten before he is satisfied.
"Is there no other way?"
Resa nodded and said, "There's another way, which is to pray that those birds with more sensitive senses will appear soon!"
After hearing what Resa said about the birdman, the city lord also thought of something, and now he can only wait patiently.
The negative body that can move and move freely during the day is definitely not something that a first-level or second-level mage can fight against, unless it is a special bird-like mage and soldier who specializes in dealing with this kind of existence.
......
"Immediately speed up! There is a very strong negative body in Mach City!"
"Yes!"
