Chapter 331: The Story of the Flame Demon
After listening to Luqi's words, Tibbs was obviously relieved, but still stared at him vigilantly: "Then what do you want?" ”
In that big battle back then, he was indeed injured to the origin, and after being sealed for so many years, he had no chance of recovery.
Until those bold humans began to try to use his power to achieve more goals.
He was released from the seal, allowing him to escape from the seal, but he was also confined to another cage.
That was Anne's mother, Amorim.
"Of course I want her, could it be you?"
Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at Tibbs, and finally looked at Anne again, and said, "Such a simple child, if you go on like this, you will be ruined sooner or later." ”
Tibbs paused, and he guessed Lucky's purpose.
Now it seems that this is the case.
But Lu Qi was actually wrong in the second half of his words, he didn't intend to deliberately guide Anne to become bad, and how to go in the future depends on Anne's own decision.
To be on the safe side, he stared at Lu Qi and said, "I am now bound to her soul, and if you hurt me, it will be the same as hurting her." ”
Lu Qi listened to him and smiled, "This would be the worst-case scenario. Killing you is actually more once and for all, isn't it? Even if it will hurt her, with her mental strength, she will be able to recover sooner or later. ”
Listening to Luki's words, Tibbs fell silent again.
Damn, I'm right for this guy again.
In this soulbinding, he belongs to the weaker side.
Hurting him is indeed the same as hurting Anne, but if he dies, Anne will not die.
And this girl has a lot of mental power, and it won't take long to recover.
But he also noticed that Luch said it was only the worst-case scenario.
Staring at the guy, Tibbs asked, "So what the hell do you mean?" ”
"Take her in, of course, and then stare at you."
Lu Qi probably explained his intentions briefly, "As long as you are honest and don't make trouble, I won't do anything to break you up until the last resort." ”
Anne is a natural fire mage, while Tibbuck is a natural fire demon.
Their fit is perfect.
Anne, who has a fire demon, can maximize the fire element.
Tibzak, on the other hand, can use Anne to restore his strength.
Their souls are bound together, and naturally they will not do anything to hurt each other, so it can be said that in the true sense, they will both be prosperous and one will be lost.
Naturally, there was no need for Lucci to deliberately separate them, he just needed Tibbs to be obedient like a little black dog.
At this time, Tibbs listened to Luqi's words, and a pair of bear eyes thought seriously.
In the past, how could he be threatened by a mere human.
But now he had to think about it solemnly.
This human now does have the ability to hurt him at any time, his body is sealed in the body of a teddy bear, and his soul is bound to Anne.
If Anne hadn't consciously cast the fire element, then his power would not have been fully unleashed.
And secondly, he hasn't fully regained his strength yet
He was counting on Anne to slowly regain his strength.
Anne can be said to be the most suitable apostle in the world, she can control the fire elemental magic as she wants, and the stronger her magic, the stronger he will become.
At the same time, the person who is consumed by the flames will also strengthen his power.
In this way, it is only a matter of time before the strength is restored even beyond the previous one.
Most of the time, he doesn't interfere with Anne's decision, because not interfering is actually a kind of interference.
For Anne was young, pure in heart, without blemish, pure white.
But living in a big dye vat like Noxus will sooner or later turn into the same color as here.
And this is actually the kind of outcome that Tibbs wants to see.
But now, Luch stepped in and wanted to take Anne away, and at the same time to control him from doing bad things when Anne was growing up.
And I don't seem to have a choice.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll be honest."
After much hesitation, Tibbs still spoke, choosing to relent.
"That's okay." Lu Qi nodded in satisfaction, but he was thinking about something else.
Making a verbal agreement with a demon is the most idiotic act in the world.
Hopefully, one day they will break their covenant.
Come to think of it, you need at least a means of checks and balances.
So in front of Tibbs, Luki took out the secret key and made a video call to Frey, who was far away in Demacia.
In just a few efforts, Tibbs was dumbfounded, and he didn't understand what Luki was doing.
It wasn't until Frey quickly connected that her voice came from inside: "Your Highness? Can I help you? ”
Tiebs was taken aback in his heart, and as an experienced demon, he quickly analyzed the reason.
He could feel the fluctuations in the spiritual realm coming from the key from Lu Qi's hand.
The purpose seems to be to talk to another human.
For Tibbs, this was absolutely unheard of.
What kind of means is this?
Seeing Frey in the picture, Luffy asked, "If I want to make a contract with a demon, and the two parties have to jointly agree on the terms of non-breach, is there such a way?"
Tibbs listened, and immediately knew what Luci was intent
After thinking about it, I felt that this was indeed normal behavior.
After all, even he felt that a demon's verbal promise was not very reliable.
At this time, Frey in the video frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Signing a contract with a demon is itself disadvantageous to the human side. Unless the spiritual power of both sides is equal and can meet the conditions for restraining each other, the dominant ones are basically demons. ”
"So except for some people who want to gain great power through demons, basically no one will sign a contract with demons."
After listening to her words, Lu Qi probably understood, thought for a while, and asked, "Is the little black dog next to you?" ”
"Yes."
Frey said, and the scene shifted to the little black dog yawning on the ground.
Looking listless, seeing the video in the face of Lu Qi, he immediately stood up from the ground.
Lu Qi looked at him and asked directly, "You also heard our conversation just now, is there any way?" ”
The little black dog didn't think too much about it, and said, "There is a way, and you can do it." ”
Tibbs was shocked to see a dog spitting out, but he didn't make a fuss.
It's just that he instinctively felt something wrong with this little black dog.
But the distance is too far, just through the picture, he can't see the essence.
"Say."
"You can plant a dream seed in the other person's subconscious. That's basically what I did when I used to control humans. Human beings have weak mental power, and in order to gain strength, most of them will not resist, and it is good to leave a dream seed, which is a little more difficult for demons. ”
The little black dog said, and then explained: "The dream seed is to leave a seed in the essence of the soul through the power of demons, in other words, to impose a thought. The thought will automatically transform into a seed, and the seed can deepen the bond between the two parties, and when the thought is violated, the dream seed will automatically explode. ”
He had used this method to control the human dark mages who were trying to gain power through him.
When the humans wanted to betray him, the dream seed would automatically detonate.
At this time, with the explanation of the little black dog, Tibbs also felt a chill, and then he was suddenly stunned, thinking of something, and his eyes were a little shocked.
If he guessed correctly, the little black dog who was talking at the moment was also a demon!
Just like in his own case, the other party's body was sealed in the dog's body.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, this demon was one of the two demonic forces in the human being in front of him.
This guy actually captured a big demon alive and used it for himself?
Although he used to serve a powerful being, he must know that that being is not human.
As a human being, enslaving demons is outrageous.
After hearing this, Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Tell me how to operate." ”
"First of all, you need to establish a connection with the other person's mental power." The little black dog began to explain.
Lu Qi has a part of his Origin Power, and although he can't use all of his abilities, he can still do it with Dream Seed.
"The other party can't have the emotion of resisting the dream seed, after all, it is planted in the subconscious, if he doesn't want to be restrained by this kind of constraint, it is actually easy to fail."
The little black dog said slowly.
Although most humans do not resist being planted by him.
With the little black dog's explanation, Lu Qi probably understood the operation, and then the little black dog told him what the magic seal of the dream seed was.
Dream seeds are also a kind of magic, and it is not too difficult for Lu Qi today.
After hanging up the video, Lu Qi looked at Tibbs, who had been watching for a long time: "You can also see it, to put it simply, in order to know that you will not break the contract, I will leave a dream planted in your body." ”
Tibbs had listened to it for so long, but he actually understood more than Lucky.
Because he's a demon in his own right.
"I don't have a problem, but if you want to use the dream seed to achieve more things, I can only say that it is impossible. The agreement between us is limited to that I will follow Anne honestly. ”
Tibbs stared at Lucky.
Lu Qi said: "You can feel the treaty of the dream seed yourself, if it doesn't match, it's a big deal to resist and lead to failure." ”
Tibbs nodded, "Feel free to start." ”
According to Little Black Dog, the two sides began to establish a spiritual connection.
With Tibbs' active cooperation, this step was easier to implement.
Lu Qi only felt a scorching energy in his soul, and this feeling was very strange, as if his soul was burning with a hot flame, but it did not make him feel uncomfortable.
His spiritual power found Tibbs, and his body began to demonize, releasing the demonic power of Moteng.
Suddenly, a chill surged and dispersed some of the heat.
Tibbs only felt a terrifying demonic aura rushing in, with a dementoring power, and he immediately knew in his heart that his guess was correct.
This demonic power is an existence of the same level as him.
At the same time, he also found that the spiritual power of this human being is not weak, giving people a very sharp feeling.
In fact, ordinary human beings, how can they withstand the connection with his spirit.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to test Lu Qi, and now it seems that the other party is indeed not simple.
At this point, following the method that the little black dog told him, Luqi began to leave the first step of the dream seed, imposing thoughts.
It can be understood as an imaginary passage, or a picture, or something else.
If you don't have enough mental strength, you can't do this.
After the dream was planted, Tiebs felt the energy, and after confirming that it was correct, he gladly accepted it.
As long as you make sure that this dream is harmless to you, you will be honest for the next period of time.
The dream seed naturally can't limit him for a lifetime, and it will slowly dissipate after a long time.
Luki knew that, too, but all he asked for was now.
In the future, even he himself did not know what would happen.
The mental connection between the two sides began to disconnect, and Lu Qi felt that the heat in his body was dissipating and gradually returning to normal.
When he opened his eyes again, he withdrew his power.
"Now you're satisfied?"
Tiebs spoke up.
"Almost, tell me about Anne's mother."
Lu Qi nodded, and asked again, "She seems to be still looking for her mother, you should know what's going on." ”
"She couldn't find it." Tibbs's voice sounded very unforgiving at the moment, "Because her mother is dead." ”
Seeing Lu Qi's eyes that wanted to continue exploring, he thought for a moment and spoke slowly.
It's been a long time since he'd shown himself in this form and spoke.
Thinking that the long night was still long, and that he had reached a stable contract with the human in front of him, he was in no hurry to do anything.
"Let me tell you about her mother, Amorim. She's a fire elemental mage who is a good fit for me, but she's a far cry from her daughter. ”
The demon had little affection for humans, and even though he admired Amorim, there was a coldness in his eyes as he told the story.
Amorim was a gifted fire elemental mage, and for this reason, at a young age, she was valued by the Academy of Magic called Ravenbloom and subsequently recruited into school.
At that time, Tiebs was sealed in a special furnace bottle in the Academy of Magic, and was often accompanied by loneliness.
His skills were imprisoned in a palm-sized bottle, and he couldn't use them.
As a Flame Demon, as the name suggests, his power comes from fire, and the more creatures that the flame consumes, and the greater the disaster that the flame engulfs, the more power he can obtain.
He also enjoys luring humans to accept the damage of the fire elemental, and admiring their painful expressions and struggles when they set themselves on fire.
It's just that he didn't have a chance to set it on fire at all.
Since the Great War of that year, he was sealed, and I don't know how long the dark days have passed.
Until the ambitious Grand Commander launched an assault on Ionia, they needed more weapons to fight the Pure Land.
So Amorim was lucky to be chosen.
As a fire elemental mage herself, she naturally has a certain compatibility with the fire demon.
The head of the House of Ravenbloom decided to use a ritual to bind the Flame Demon to Amorim's soul, thus giving Amorim even greater power.
The ritual was a success, and Tibck was released, and he was finally able to feel the outside breath again, but because of this, he was imprisoned in Amorim's body.
These memories were read by him from Amorim's brain, and over the centuries, his knowledge of the outside world was expanded through Amorim.
Naturally, Tiebs, who had regained his freedom, was unwilling to remain sealed in the shell of a human woman, so he began to deliberately lead Amorim to destruction.
At that time, this human woman didn't even know that he existed, and she fought against it with her tenacious willpower.
Coupled with occasional coincidences and luck, Tiebs, who had repeatedly failed, gave up temporarily.
Determined not to harm anyone with magic, Amorim escaped from Ravencblum Academy when he realized the dangers of the elements in his body.
At that time, the northern part of Noxus was very barren, the climate was cold, there were many mountains, and there were wild beasts, which were often accompanied by danger.
Few would choose to settle there, so she fled north, meeting Anne's father, Gregory, along the way.
The two go through many stories together, and eventually settle in a remote and uninhabited forest in the north.
Amorim soon became pregnant, and she was basking in the joy of becoming a mother, unaware of the consequences it would be.
Soon after, the child was born, and the couple named her Anne.
The family of three lived in seclusion and lived a happy life without being disturbed.
But unbeknownst to him, Anne's talent is also quietly awakening.
Soon, when little Anne was babbling and toddler, suddenly one day, an accident came unexpectedly.
Gregory and Little Anne both fell ill that day, and the most serious was Little Anne.
Her whole body was hot, almost to the point of burning her hands, as if she was enduring a transcendent heat, and even Amorim could not hold her in his arms.
Amorim didn't know what was going on, and she finally decided to go to the nearby river to get some cold water.
For all this, Tiebs naturally knew what the reason was.
Even he was taken by surprise.
Because Amorim was not weak in fire elemental magic, coupled with the fusion of his power, he finally gave birth to Anne, a natural fire elemental magician.
Her talent is far superior to that of anyone else, above the apex of humanity.
Tibbs could tell at a glance that she was in a critical period of transformation.
If it survives this day, then there is no doubt that the most powerful fire elemental mage in human history will be ushered in.
She is a natural fire controller, and any flame in front of her has only room for surrender.
But if you don't make it, then it's a pity.
At the same time, Tibbs realized that this was an opportunity for him.
Of course, Amorim didn't know anything about all this, she didn't even know that all along, there was a fire demon secretly watching everything.
She anxiously fetched a basin of water from the river, and then hurried home.
However, even cold water could not dissipate the heat from Anne's body.
It was at this time that Tibbs appeared.
Amorim was shocked by the appearance of the Flame Demon, and fear appeared in her eyes, but out of maternal love, she also quickly calmed down, and associated Anne's situation with the Flame Demon.
She thinks it's the fire demon that's causing it all.
In fact, there is part of the reason for this.
If it weren't for the Flame Demon, Anne wouldn't have woken up so early and encountered such difficulties, even if she had outstanding magical talents.
"I told her that I had a way to save her daughter. However, before I could say the price, the woman agreed to me without hesitation. ”
Tibbs had a smaller wave of flames, like a human-sized bear, sitting across from Lucky, behind the teddy bear.
She said that no matter what she was asked to do, as long as she could save her daughter, she was willing. Thereupon. I told her the conditions. ”
"Amorim is a fire magician, and if she ends up engulfed by the flames, it will naturally be a great complement to me. At the same time, I was able to get out of trouble, which I wanted to do for a long time, but I never succeeded, but this time I found my chance. ”
When he heard that he was going to self-immolate, Amorim resolutely agreed. She carried Anne out of the house and took the teddy bear that had been sewn for her. ”
She lit a bonfire and collapsed into it.
Tibbs said this, a look of admiration in his eyes: "She is a human being that I rarely recognize. I've seen a lot of people set themselves on fire, and I love watching them scream in pain, roll on the ground, or die in pain when they are burned by the flames. But Amorim, even though there was a fire burning in her body, and the flames scorched her skin and smelled of flesh, she did not say a word. ”
"Anne has my protection, fearless of the fire. I watched as she held Anne in her arms, tears evaporating from the flames of the flames before the tears could fall. At that moment, her expression was unprecedentedly beautiful, and I finally saw the maternal love of human beings. ”
"Just when I was distracted, I didn't notice that I was about to be posed by this woman."
When Tibbs said this, he didn't show much anger, and said calmly: "Almost in this short period of time, she discovered that I and her souls were bound to each other, and she was dominant. ”
"She endured the pain, but secretly cast a spell to seal my body inside the teddy bear and my soul to Anne's spiritual world. In this way, I have to save this little girl, or I will be eaten back. ”
"I barely realized that it was all done."
"She's so smart, and almost all of humanity's good is concentrated in her."
Tibbs recalls the scene that she still remembers vividly: "She smiled when she saw her daughter safe in the midst of the fire. On her deathbed, she begged me, not to order me, but to look like a begging puppy on the street, please. Ask me to take care of her daughter. ”
The flames eventually consumed her, and her flesh was burned to the ground, leaving nothing of ash left. A part of my soul feeds back to me, making me stronger. And the rest of it, in it. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the teddy bear.
"Normally I devour a person's soul entirely, but I didn't do it this time, and I think she must have hoped that she would always be able to protect her daughter."
Tibbs said slowly.
There was a passage in the middle, which he did not say.
That's Amorim's please, and he agreed at the last minute.
Although she was set up by her, this woman made a great difference in Tiebs's view of humanity for the first time, and this time he was convinced.
He strengthened the magic left behind by Amorim and deepened his bond with Anne.
This woman has earned the respect of the Flame Demon.
The life of a human being is too short for a demon.
But at least, the little girl's life, he will cover it to the end.
That's right, although he had the idea of speeding up the recovery of strength by controlling Anne from the beginning, which is why he appeared directly.
But this time he didn't.
In normal times, he is just a teddy bear that a mother gives to her daughter with love.
But when necessary, he will also be a murderous flame demon, Tiebs.
Tibbs' story comes to an end.
Perhaps sensing something, Anne, who was asleep, frowned a little uneasily, and a tear appeared in the corner of her eye.
Probably a nightmare.
Lu Qi reached out and gently stroked her brow, very gently.
Soon, Anne's brow furrowed, and she fell into a good dream.
Tibbs also looked at her and said, "The little girl still believed that her mother would come to her. I'm not going to tell her the truth, although for me, it's nothing. But I think it's a little too cruel for you humans. ”
Because of Amorim, he is slowly picking up human feelings.
Knowing that this is definitely the truth that Anne doesn't want to accept.
As the initiator, he is not guilty and is ready to meet Anne's hatred.
This does not affect his determination to protect Anne for the rest of his life.
"If you insist on telling her the truth, I won't stop you."
Tibbs said as he looked at Lucie.
After hearing this story, Luqi felt only admiration for Anne's mother.
Looking at Anne who was asleep, he did not respond to Tibbs, but said, "Go back." ”
Tibbs stared at Lucci for a moment, then slipped headfirst into the teddy bear.
The teddy bear shook twice, then returned to its unremarkable appearance.
The heat in the air is also dissipating rapidly, and it quickly returns to normal.
Early the next morning.
Anne woke up early, rubbed her eyes, and immediately confirmed that the teddy bear she was holding in her arms was still there, and then said in a daze: "Tibbs Anne slept so comfortably this night." ”
Usually she is quite sleepy, and most of the time she is either walking, eating and sleeping.
But it's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably that I forgot the time and even Tiebs didn't feel it.
When I wake up, I feel that my body is all light.
"Awake? Do you want to have breakfast, I cooked a little hot porridge. ”
At this time, Anne heard Lu Qi's voice, and looked up to see that he was setting up a fire, cooking porridge, and the sweet fragrance wafted from a pot that he got out of nowhere.
Stunned, Lu Qi had already brought a bowl of hot porridge and brought it over: "Be careful to burn it." ”
"Thank you, brother."
Anne stretched out her little hand to take it and thanked her sweetly.
She looked at the porridge, blinked her eyes, and felt a sense of loss in her heart for no reason.
I'm about to part with my big brother.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Tibbs's voice, and then looked up in surprise.
The little girl couldn't hide her thoughts, and immediately said, "Anne wants to mess with her big brother again!" ”
When Lu Qi heard this, he smiled: "Why did you change your mind again?" ”
"Because. Because "Anne could never say that Tibbs had changed her mind."
She didn't know why, but after a good night's sleep, Tibbs suddenly had a great change in her opinion of her big brother and praised her in all kinds of ways.
But that's a good thing, because she loves her big brother, and now Tiebs likes it too.
In this way, she can continue to 'mix' with her big brother.
couldn't find a reason, so she pursed her mouth, secretly looked at Lu Qi and said, "Big brother doesn't want to?" ”
"Of course I do."
Lu Qi smiled, stretched out his hand, and gestured his little thumb: "This time, in order to prevent you from regretting, let's pull the hook." ”
"Mmmm, it won't be this time!"
Anne immediately smiled, stretched out her little hand, and hooked up with Luki.
"Hang yourself on the hook for a hundred years, and you must not change."
I don't know why, but she always feels happy.
Obviously, the fate of the big brother has just begun.
