Chapter 331: Wisdom is a Defect (3)
In the private room of the theater, Leilin stared at the actors on the stage for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
A stunning romantic drama is unfolding on stage, where a Naga man cuts off two of his arms in order to show his love for his beloved human girl. The scene that is now going on is a Naga man prostrating himself in front of the girl with his arm in his hand, proposing to her.
"I bet he's going to be rejected."
Professor Ai in the box spoke.
PHS on the side nodded: "It's because the scene is too bloody, will this girl not accept it?" ”
"Nope." Professor Ai stretched out his palm and pointed at the actor on stage: "Didn't he notice that the biggest difference between him and that girl is not that he has four arms, but his tail?" He should cut off his tail and attach another pair of legs. ”
At this time, Leilin suddenly turned her head to PHS and said, "Remember to remind me, if that guy Wren dies, he will cut off his hand." ”
"What do you want him to do?"
"Didn't he send the professor a picture of his palm two days ago? The professor said it might have something to do with the legendary Palm of Tospala, and I cut it down and collected it. ”
Professor Ai looked a little confused.
"I'm just suggesting a possibility out of academic rigor, because Wren didn't tell me where the runes came from. But most likely it has nothing to do with Tospala's Palm, in fact, that palm is not only missing, but also probably destroyed. It was rumored that its last owner was an ogre, and when he heard that this artifact could make people sapient, he wondered if it would be better to eat it directly. The only reason we can judge the true existence of the Palm of Tospara is because it appears in the legends of many races and regions, so this rumor about ogres is also believed by default. ”
PHS pondered: "Then Wren's hand is useless?" ”
"No, no, no, actually, I still really want to study the runes in his hand, I'm curious. But ......." Professor Ai suddenly thought of something: "What if he hadn't died in Brica?" ”
Finally hearing the answer she wanted, the corners of Leilin's mouth curled slightly: "Then cut off his leg!" ”
"I know the hand, what's the use of his legs?"
"Since it's useless, it doesn't matter if you cut it."
It doesn't seem like a problem.......
.......
Stand in front of the ball of light.
Wren had doubts in his heart, but he had come this far, and there was absolutely no possibility of backing down. He walked up to the ball of light, and the same net of light appeared in front of him, and Wren raised his fist and swung it violently.
But for some reason, before the iron fist smashed into the light network, the light network automatically retreated.
The punch was in the air.
Not only that, but the ball of light in front of him even took the initiative to open a door, as if welcoming Ren in.
“.......”
The door was opened to Wren alone, and the executioner was still blocked by a net of light.
Wren is speechless, a clear trap, am I a fool?
Really.......
He muttered, pumped his mouth again, and walked through the open door.
As soon as I entered, the door behind me was resealed by the light, and it was full of trap sight.
The situation inside the ball of light was slightly different from what Wren thought, there was no great demon king sitting on the throne waiting for the brave to come and harvest the spoils of war - in fact, he was the only one who would think so, only a rectangular platform completely covered by a white cloth, and a person was covered under the white cloth from the outline.
From the bottom of the table, the edge of the white cloth, blue rays flowed out of it, and they weaved the ball of light that Wren was, and then extended from the ball of light to the outside.
The scene was a little weird, and Wren didn't dare to rush forward, and shouted from afar.
"Hello?"
“.......”
Naturally, there will be no response.
Wren tentatively took a step forward, his eyes kept on the platform in front of him, but the white cloth did not appear abnormal, but the corner of his eye seemed to catch a glimpse of some blue light fluctuating under his feet, but when he looked down, there was nothing.
Is it wrong?
Wren stared at the ground for a moment, and the runes in his right palm began to glow slightly, indicating that he was thinking about something.
"It's over, I guessed wrong again!"
Wren patted his head and walked quickly to the white cloth-covered platform, and without any disturbance, he violently lifted the white cloth.
There was a person, or half a person, lying on the table.
The left half of his body was still human, but the right half was gone, just a row of blue light. The blue rays didn't form half of the humanoid, but rather like a large row of cables stuck in a case, extending from the half of his body.
When Wren lifted the white cloth, the man's only remaining eye looked over, and his mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound, like an old man on the verge of death.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, he was Brica's supreme administrator, the mysterious council chief who had not been seen for a long time, and as Wren had expected, he was now weak and had almost no strength.
But Wren didn't feel a hint of joy right now.
"Who is it?!"
In an urgent tone, he asked the Speaker of the Council, who was lying on the table.
All clues indicate that Wren's previous guess was wrong, the council president has become a puppet-like character, the blue light may have been created by him, and everything before was also led by him, but now there is a person hidden in the dark, the dove occupies the magpie's nest.
If it's the worst-case scenario.......
Thinking of this, Wren couldn't help but take a step back.
The council chief's lips moved slightly, but he still couldn't speak.
"I have to say~"
At this moment, a voice came from the very close back of Wren's head, something familiar, like ...... Alexia?
Wren hurriedly turned around, only to see a white snake in front of his eyes, floating in the air to meet his eyes.
Wren took a step back and saw the snake's appearance, its scales were the white of jade spots, just like the one he had seen in the warehouse of the Brika Historical Museum, and around it, countless runes similar to the palms of Wren's hands were born and destroyed. Just one more look at it makes it feel like the mind is going to blow up.
White Snake continued to say, "I have to say that even after countless epochs, mortal ignorance can still bring me countless pleasures. ”
It's a god!
Wren took a deep breath, and the worst was coming......
He could only try to calm himself down, and the wolf gods he had encountered earlier had proved that although these gods regarded mortals as grass, they were not completely incommunicative.
Listening to the almost identical voices of the other party and Alexia, Wren was curious about their relationship, but given that Alexia died at the hands of the other party, Wren didn't know if asking would cause the other party's anger.
As a result, the White Snake seemed to see through Wren's thoughts, and said, "You want to know about that woman?" Oh, just ask, I'm not going to be angry with a mortal's question. There are no secrets in front of me, you must have felt this power too, right? ”
A few scales fell from the white snake's body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into Alexia's appearance.
Wren silently covered his eyes.
Well, don't look at indecent things......
"I have been dormant for countless years, an unimaginable span of time for you humans, during which time I created her to continue to observe for me this ridiculous world that gives me pleasure. Unfortunately, my spells seem to have shaped her too smart, and she began to have a will of her own, imparting my wisdom to mortals without permission. As much as that stuff is not worth mentioning to me, it greatly reduces my enjoyment. ”
Wren: "........"
I always feel like I've heard something terrible........
Moreover, this deity seemed to be very different from what he had encountered before.
