Chapter Eighty-Eight: Return
Horn nodded, after coming to purgatory, after experiencing so many dangers, every time he encountered a powerful enemy, it was a miracle that he didn't die. (The best experience of reading novels is in [Phoenix]) so he agrees with Frieza's words, and when he thinks of this, he can't help but worry about Venn.
Seeing that Horn agreed with him, Frieza continued, "I'm just saying this to let you know what the succubus is doing...... So I can provide her with shelter, as long as she is within my territory, I can save her if she is in danger, which is equivalent to giving her a life amulet. And she doesn't have to accept my control, she's free. As long as she doesn't devour some of my direct subordinates, such as the 'Great Demon' level or above, she can do it. ”
When Horn heard it, it felt like pie in the sky...... No, it should be like gold. Although the biggest beneficiary is Vane, but if Vane grows, then he will also benefit, after two transformations, Horn knows that the growth of his magic ability is closely related to Vane's ability, that is to say, Vane benefits, which is equal to his own benefit, why not?
Still, Horn asked, "Is that all?"
Frieza's originally soothing face suddenly became displeased, and she said in a muffled voice: "Isn't this enough? You know, how many creatures in Purgatory want to be protected by me, and they can't ask for it." Hmph......"
Horn quickly explained, "No...... I'm satisfied, but since we can get these more, then correspondingly, what do I have to pay?I believe that the transaction should be reciprocal, but my ability is here, if your conditions are beyond my ability, then with all due respect, I'm afraid I can't complete the ......"
After hearing this, Frieza felt that Horn was very honest, and suddenly his impression of Horn changed a little. Although he was deceived twice, after all, it was for the life and death of the two, and this practice was understandable. And in this case, he no longer has any conditions to disagree, after all, Frieza is in a strong position, and if he really asks Horn to do anything, he must also agree.
Frieza's displeased face softened again, and said, "Since I can propose a deal, it may be something you can accomplish." There is a place in your human realm called the 'Wailing Mountains', and in the middle of the mountains, I want you to go and get something out, just get it and give it to me, and you will complete the deal. ”
When Horn heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, 'Wailing Mountains' How did he not know that when he went to the magic tower in Candulei, he just walked to the periphery, and it was already in danger, not to mention that it was a seven-person squad at that time, except for himself, the others were middle-level martial artists and a second-level magician. Although he is now an eighth-level martial artist and a third-level or above magician, one person is not worth a seven-person team!, and the things he wants to take are really in the center of the Wailing Mountain Range, which is a place that high-level martial artists may not be able to reach, do you want to organize a team composed entirely of high-level martial artists and high-level magicians to enter? Horn thinks that he does not have the ability to organize such a team, you know, there are not many high-level martial artists and high-level magicians in the entire human world.
At that moment, Horn said, "Your Excellency, I cannot agree to this deal. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I really can't do it. The heart of the Wailing Mountains is truly impossible to enter with my ability......"
Horn recounted how he had entered the Wailing Mountains in the first place.
Then he continued: "I was just reaching the periphery, and I was already at the limit. If you look forward, you will only be sent to death, and you will not be able to reach it at all. ”
After thinking for a while, Horn made a suggestion and said, "If you have the strength of Your Excellency the Great Lord, there will definitely be no problem to go there, why don't you go there yourself? or delegate your subordinates to go, it is much more appropriate than me to go there." ”
Frieza snorted coldly and said, "I still want you to say that if only I could go in person." Each realm has a layer of realm barriers, which not only limits the scope of space, but more importantly, prevents powerful beings from passing through, it is like a net, the weak can enter, and the strong can completely block the outside. I can only use projections or clones to get to your human realm, but this will alarm the 'guardian' in your human realm, which is in the Wailing Mountains. With my projection or doppelganger's abilities, it's no match for it at all. In the same way, if I let my subordinates go, their purgatory aura will not hide from the 'guardian', and only you humans will not be alerted if you humans go there. ”
Only then did Horn know that there was actually a 'Guardian' in the center of the Wailing Mountains, and from Frieza's mouth, he heard that the strength of this 'Guardian' was not below Frieza. Only humans can approach it and won't attract the attention of the 'Guardians'. Horn wanted to know what he was going to take, though, and it seemed to be important to Frieza.
He asked, "Even if I could get in, what would I have to take? and how could I possibly have it with the Guardian?"
"It was a very inconspicuous thing, in the form of an ordinary stone with some patterns carved on it, which was easy to recognize," Frieza said. ”
As she spoke, Frieza drew a series of strange patterns in the void for Horn to remember. Then he said, "This thing was originally mine, but it was accidentally taken away before...... Now I'm just going to take my stuff. ”
When Horn heard this, he couldn't help but be very interested in the person who could take something from this Purgatory Lord, and asked angrily, "Who is the one who took that stone, and what is the purpose of that stone?"
Frieza didn't seem to be willing to answer Horn's question head-on, but said vaguely, "Who else...... It was the 'Candure' who, like you, came to Purgatory more than a thousand years ago and took the stone from me...... As for the role of that stone, it was meant to make the space more stable, and it was originally used by me to consolidate the realm. ”
Horn couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the name 'Candulei', and asked, "The 'Candulei' you are talking about, is it the original owner of my long sword, 'Candulei?'?"
Frieza didn't answer, it was tacit, as if he didn't want to mention the name.
Since Frieza didn't want to say, Horn didn't ask. It's just that I think I'm really entangled with this 'Candure', and what he left behind has changed the trajectory of his life in a big way. What kind of person is a legendary character from more than a thousand years ago makes Horn yearn for it.
Horn also heard that the stone was originally Frieza's, and at first worried that it would be harmful to the human realm if Frieza got it. Now that I know that it is just a stone that can stabilize the space, I am relieved.
After thinking about it, he said, "I agree to this deal in principle, but I can't guarantee that it will be completed." I can only say that I do my best to do it, and if you are not satisfied, you can also find other humans to do it. ”
Frieza didn't think about it and said, "Just agree, just do what you can anyway." I'll give you ten years, if you can't finish it then, I'll naturally go to you, and if you really try your best then I can consider extending the deadline, and if you're perfunctory, then you should know what the consequences of cheating a big lord are"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Horn, and the powerful coercion made Horn almost out of breath, and he hurriedly said no, no, at the moment.
This kind of transaction is almost his own benefit, although Horn feels incredible, there is no harm anyway, and if he doesn't agree now, he will not be able to return to the human realm.
After Horn agreed to the deal, Frieza directly contacted Horn and Vaane's master and servant soul contract, and Horn felt his soul lighter, and the magic array bound to his body had disappeared. Frieza told Horn that he would teleport him and Vane to a passage to the Half-Realm, where there was a direct passage to the Human Realm, and after that, the Human Realm would be reached. And instructed Horn that after getting the stone, he only had to recite Frieza's name silently, and he would get a response. However, Frieza sternly told Horn not to contact him until he had the stone, as this would alert the 'Guardians', who would simply erase anything connected to Frieza.
After explaining everything, Frieza waved his hand. Horn only felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and when he came to his senses, he realized that Frieza had been transferred out of his domain, and he and Vane appeared in a cave surrounded by rock walls.
The cave is very large, tens of meters high, and the long passage is not known to be long, and it is dark and dark. At the end of the cavern was a dark whirlpool that Horn had seen before, and at the bottom of the 'Demon Eye' in the Orc Empire there was a realm passage similar to this whirlpool. This should be what Frieza called the Realm Passage.
Horn thought that he was about to leave purgatory, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Vane who was lying on the side.
I didn't expect to meet a pair of colorful and bright eyes like jewels. Horn was stunned, Vane had woken up. At the moment, he was very happy and asked, "Are you awake...... How's your body?"
Vane didn't answer, just stared at Horn. Seeing that Horn was inexplicable, he said, "What's wrong with you?
Vane then said, "Why did you trade your soul for my freedom?"
Horn was stunned for a moment, wondering why Wayne asked, Didn't she pass out at the time? Couldn't help asking, "Didn't you pass out at that time?"
Vane nodded, in fact, after sending out the 'Unquenchable Fire', he was counterattacked by Frieza, and was indeed seriously injured and unconscious, but he woke up after a while, and knew the conversation between Horn and Frieza and what happened. >
