I spent a lot of time on my own training, and in addition to actually learning the "Ignite the Flame" rune, I also mastered the special ability of the Siren Blade.

For example, I can now freely turn off the "True Kill" ability of the SirenBlade, which has effects such as inflicting irreparable wounds, restraining the undead, attacking enemies from future vision or memory, or vice versa. However, in practice, even if the "True Kill" is strengthened, there seems to be no special change, and the wounds that cannot be repaired will still not be repaired, and the undead body that will be killed will still be killed. It wouldn't be enough to say that this kind of enhancement is useless, I still have some thoughts in my heart, but I have to admit that the "true kill" after enhancement has no room for better effect in most cases.

And I'm not the only one who is improving, the sirens are still growing. It's just that she doesn't seem to be satisfied with her "gentle" growth, and wants to make more progress from other ways.

At first, she set her sights on secret knowledge.

Although she always thinks of herself as a weapon, she is also an individual who thinks and learns on her own, and it is only natural that she wants to strengthen herself with knowledge. Unfortunately, despite her ability to comprehend secret knowledge, she was unable to learn spells. Even if she was able to manipulate spirits to a certain extent, and even showed some special abilities, she still didn't seem to have the innate conditions to become a warlock. In her words, she can understand the logic of secret knowledge on a rational level, but she cannot grasp the essence of it on an emotional level.

The group of warlocks is rife with transcendentalism and mysticism of all kinds. When casting spells, it is not so much "reason" that is used, but "intuition and experience" that you can't explain. When understanding secret knowledge, it does not rely on rigorous "induction and summarization", but on the "awareness" of the mysterious. The sirens also possess a high level of awareness, but seem to be fatally at odds with the "awareness" required by the warlock.

She had to give up the path of secret knowledge and spells for the time being, but I thought of something else.

Whatever her true origins, it remains true that there is an inseparable connection between me and her. For example, in the case of her devouring the spirit fragments of the people I killed, she was obviously responsible for devouring them, but the prerequisite for devouring them was my killing, and the spirit fragments that burned after she devoured them could become my power without hindrance. That is to say, I can use her power through a close connection with her, so on the other hand, can she also use my power?

To put it more bluntly, I've already mastered the "Ignite the Flame" rune, so can she, who calls herself "the other me", do the same?

When I made this proposal to her in my siren's dream, she was expressionless and eager.

"However, this is a dream, is it okay to try runes here?" I thought about this question.

"It's the power of spirituality that drives runes, and spirituality is universal even in dreams." She tucked the hem of her white ruffled dress and squatted down on the grass.

Then, she held out her finger and pointed it at the ground, her voice a little nervous, "I'm going to try." ”

"Let's get started." I also focused all my attention.

She focused her spirituality on her fingertips, carved the rune "Ignite the Flame" on the grass, and gazed intently.

If the rune is successfully carved, a flame will rise next.

But we waited twenty seconds, not to mention the flames, not even the slightest flames.

She was disappointed.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work......" Even she inevitably showed frustration.

"Let's try again, maybe it's just not skilled yet." I couldn't help but comfort her, and found something wrong again, "Wait......"

I suddenly noticed a faint black scorched smoke coming from where she had carved the runes on the grass.

"Is this a success?" She was stunned, "But shouldn't 'igniting the flame' at least produce flames?" ”

It's the first time I've encountered this situation, so I can only suggest, "Let's try again." ”

After more than a dozen attempts, I finally figured out what the problem was. And it's in a direction I've never thought about.

The sirens are not engraved with the "ignite the flame" rune at all.

Or rather, she mistakenly thought she was depicting the "Ignite the Flame" rune, but it was something else that was plausible. It's not that she's stumbled upon a new rune that she hasn't stumbled upon before, it's that there's nothing so cheap, it's that the "Ignite the Flame" rune has deviated from her understanding. In any case, she could not depict the correct "ignition of the flame", and the lines of the depiction were always distorted in subtle places. I always remind her that there is a problem with her drawing, and I also point out where the problem is, and she just can't apply what she has learned.

It's also possible that she's already put what she's learned into practice, but it's as if she's following the logic of other universes to understand the runes. And what's even more bizarre is that such a rune actually has an effect.

However, this has mutated into a different kind of rune. To distinguish it from the original "Ignite Flame", the sirens and I called this mutated rune "smoldering".

The so-called smoldering refers to a physical phenomenon that does not produce an open flame and burns slowly.

I don't know how this mutation happens, so I'll just speculate and make a far-fetched explanation that the sirens are likely to clash with the properties of the "Ignite the Flame" rune.

If you were to define a simple and crude attribute for Sirenblade, it would feel like "water". The surface of this axe is covered with rust that seems to have been soaked in seawater for many years, and the "it" that first awakened it was named "Kraken" by the Security Bureau, which seemed to confirm my feelings from the side. The sirens that are closely connected to the Siren's Blade seem to have the same properties as the Siren's Blade, so when using the "Ignite the Flame" rune, the originally violent burning will be greatly slowed down, turning from a bright flame to a gloomy burn.

Frankly, it's a weakening. The "Ignite the Flame" rune was originally a rune that was too basic to work, and after it was weakened like this, the lethality was even weaker than if it could be used for it.

She was disappointed by this, but it was the only spell she could use right now, and she still fiddled with it from time to time. It's just that after a week passed, she seemed to have other thoughts about this "smoldering" rune, and gradually stopped fiddling with it. It's not that I'm tired of it, but I seem to have some scruples.

Although her emotional performance is very indifferent, I know that she actually has quite a lot of feelings and a sensitive heart, and she is very bad at acting and lying. After so much time together, I have gradually come to know how to read her true feelings from her unchanging expression, and I can see that she seems to want to tell me something, but I don't think she should say it to me. And after my repeated questioning, she finally reluctantly told me.

"This 'smoldering' rune doesn't seem to be as useless as it seems." Despite what she said, her expression was not very happy.

I thought for a moment, "Actually, this rune hides a very powerful power?" ”

"No, this rune is really weak, that's right. But depending on the usage, it can become ...... It's dangerous. She pondered her words, "You should remember that I will burn the spirit fragments I have collected while you fight, so as to extend the duration of your battle." ”

"Yes." I say. Originally, the time I spent fighting with all my might lasted a minute at most, but it would be significantly shortened if I had to unleash the sword. Thanks to her, I was able to fight without any scruples.

"The so-called 'burning' is just my description, and it is actually the fragments of the spirit that are further digested within me and broken down into a large amount of spirit. And if I use the 'Ignite Flame' rune to burn the spirit, it can also have some of my effect. The spiritual flame destroys the structure of the spirit and thus achieves the purpose of decomposition. It's just that the decomposition is far from deep enough, and the units after decomposition are not small enough to be decomposed into spirituality. "Theoretically, warlocks can gain greater spiritual power by burning and decomposing their own spirits by overcoming the problem of depth of decomposition, but there is a certain contradiction in this practice." That is, if even the structure of one's own spirit body is destroyed, this person will become a soulless vegetative person, and there will be no one who can manipulate the huge spirituality by his own hands. ”

"But the 'smoldering' rune is different?" I asked.

"Yes. The 'smoldering' rune is so weak that it can even slowly disintegrate the spirit while maintaining its structure. She said.

"And it can burn deep?" I asked.

"No, it couldn't have broken down spirits that deeply. It's just that I, as your inner power, have the conditions to set up runes in the depths and subtle parts of your spirit. She said, "In my vision, just by casting a 'smoldering' rune on your spirit, you can gain much more powerful spiritual power than you do now." ”

"I see." I said, "Can I try it?" ”

"But I don't know exactly what to expect after trying it." She hesitated, "It's just a very superficial idea after all, you better forget about it." Skills that are premised on destroying one's own soul are too dangerous, and even if you want to use them, you should practice for a long time with something else. ”

That's what she said, but listening to her, this skill can only be used on me, and there is no condition for training "anything else" at all.

I'm not interested in destroying my own soul, but there's a good chance I'll have to risk my life again in the future. At that point, if I want to win, or at least save my life, I will have to make a choice that will be at great risk again.

Before leaving the dream, the siren mentioned another thing to me.

"As I mentioned before, I should be able to do the things that let me in my dreams convey my voice to reality." She said to me, "Didn't you use that prop like a Bluetooth headset to talk to the real bluebird in a group dream some time ago? At that time, I analyzed the spiritual fluctuations emitted by that Bluetooth headset while working, and mastered some tricks. ”

"That's great." I deeply felt that she was growing all the time, and even in places I didn't see, she was always working silently in her own way.

Looking at her childlike face, thinking about what she had done for me in the past, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything you want?" If you have any wishes, I will do my best to fulfill them for you. ”

Without hesitation, she said, "I don't want anything." ”

How is it possible to want nothing? Since she is not another me, then she must have a need for me, so she will spare no effort to help me. If it were someone else, I would probably have been deeply suspicious of their motives. But I feel like she really doesn't have any more to ask for.

The conflict between thinking and awareness made me not know where to put my heart going.

I still believe in her, but I also want to know her better.

——

Although there has been a showdown with the Blue Bird, there still seems to be no change in our relationship.

She's still the same blue bird as ever, but whenever I look at her sunny smiling face, I always think that she probably holds the truth about my nature. But I was destined not to get the truth from her, because, as she said, I could only accept that I was a wicked person, and she would not give that answer anyway. Even so, I still love her deeply and still covet her warmth and embrace.

She is now frequently looking for information on how to prolong my life, but my constitution is very peculiar, and it is impossible to prolong my life by ordinary means.

The issue of longevity has always been a pain point in my relationship with Bluebird. On the one hand, I think that my short life is the retribution I deserve; On the other hand, I am well aware that associating with Bluebird with such a short time will not end well. But she had taken me to death, and would never allow me to leave her for that reason.

She seemed to want to have a child with me, but she still didn't react to the number of times we had done it between us. And the problem is obviously with me.

According to the results of the medical examination, my body that had been modified by "it" had completely lost its normal fertility.

Strictly speaking, it's not that I'm really infertile, it's just that I can't have children with normal women. The reason for how I determined this is simple. In the past, I had children with "it".

As long as they are praised as heroes, any crime can be forgiven, and people fanatically follow every word they say, and even the elves who are high above dare not offend the edge of popular heroes.

But as soon as the hero's created character collapses, the once forgiven guilt rises again like an unextinguished fire, and the former bright star is instantly reduced to an unpardonable sinner......

"—come and be a hero, Russell."

The most vicious criminal in the world shoved the knife into the boy's hand and whispered to persuade him.
