Chapter 881: Edward's Labyrinth of Space
Holding a large tray, Anna Sui made her way to the doorway to the top of the Mage Tower.
She curled her fingers and tapped the door three times, then held her breath and waited for ten breaths.
Inside the door, there was still a silence like water, and the staff lady hesitated for a moment, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, the heavy black stone door slashed back in an instant, silently, revealing the dark space behind it, allowing Anna Sui to breathe deeply again.
It's a familiar place, but now, even just observing it makes the staff lady tense up...... Was it because it was magically tuned into a dim light, or was the air cloudy and dull after two days of sealing? Or ...... His gaze swept through the darkness, and the space seemed not to be a familiar place, but a deep cave, and in the depths of the cave, there was a huge man-eating dragon!
After a moment of hesitation, the staff lady stepped into the space.
Even though the light of magic had not yet lit, she still walked deftly through the study to the inner bedroom, placed the tray in her hand on the small table, and went to find the drawstring of the curtain.
However, before that, the two silver dots flashing in the darkness made her subconsciously retreat a few steps until she bumped into a bench!
Just their eyes met, she couldn't speak, she could only stare blankly at the two cold colors, which were no longer indifferent...... It's icy. It's as cold as the perennial wind of the corpse plane.
The cold wind receded, because the man waved his hand gently, and the curtains of the room were all opened with a soft sound of brushing the floor, and the dim sunlight of the winter morning drove away the darkness, leaving mottled shadows in the room, as if shrouding a qiē in a layer of gray mist, somewhat illusory and unreal.
Anna Sue blinked, but the bladed silver was gone. Instead, the warm dark brown eyes, and the slight smile at the corners of the slightly pale mouth, made the staff lady seem to relax again in an instant.
She bit her lip and forced her gaze to turn to the man's messy long gray and crumpled shirt before she could barely squeeze out a sentence: "Your Excellency, City Lord...... Your breakfast. ”
As soon as the words came out, she actually regretted it, because the tray had been sent to that person by a force. The bread, grilled meat, and fried eggs were layered by him and stuffed into his mouth: "It's really good, and your craftsmanship is getting better and better, but this amount, how do you know that I have a good appetite today?"
"It's not my craft, I'm just cutting them up and sending them up as you tell me, as far as appetite is concerned. Since you haven't been here in three days, a good appetite should be a given. ”
"Three days?"
"Yes, from the early morning of the third day of this tenth, and today is already the morning of the sixth day, several young ladies are in a hurry. ”
"Oh, it's been three days...... I thought it was just a little sleep. Well, you sue them not to worry. I just slept a little longer because I was tired and entangled in a stupid and complicated question, and now I don't think it's okay anymore. Edward shook his head, his gaze paused slightly on the morning sun outside the window, and suddenly said, "What about you? Are you in a hurry?"
"I ......"
This nonchalant question made Anna Sui stunned. Then he spread his hands gently: "No, in fact, I am still very relaxed, because I finally don't need to prepare all kinds of things for you." I don't have to listen to your random commands, so it's not bad, except that a few young ladies have been running to me one by one to ask me about you, which is more troublesome. Her Excellency Masari is fine, only once a day in the morning and once in the evening, but Miss Lisa is about an hourglass or so about to make a fuss, and fortunately, she still has to lead the church rituals. Can't pester me all the time. But Miss Gardenia was more troublesome, and she ......"
The staff lady's words paused inexplicably, her face covered with a subtle flush, and then peeked to observe the man. But fortunately, it seems that the other party did not notice.
"You can say you don't know, right?"
I said it, but they didn't believe it at all. Especially Miss Lisa. She always thought that you might have given me some orders, so she didn't want them to be upset by their undue concern for you. ”
"So you deliberately tricked you into carrying the black pot?" The light complaint in the tone of the staff lady made Edward can't help but wonder: "Well, you have really worked hard, what reward should I give you?"
"Rewards don't have to be. If you can, I hope you don't burden me with this in the future, I'm really not good at mediation this kind of thing. ”
"Well...... I tried my best, but it's a bit difficult......"
"What the hell do you want to be around...... How many women are left?" Edward reached out and rubbed his head, and the embarrassed look on his face made Miss Staff raise her voice for a moment. "Forget it, I don't want to know, anyway, please think for yourself. Coughing lightly, she tried to hide her failures, but unfortunately she didn't have much talent in this area, and the topic turned stiff and awkward.
"How many?"
Edward narrowed his eyes slightly at her, the rare gaffe of this steady young lady made some evil interest suddenly rise in his heart, "How many?" He put down the simple sandwich in his hand and began to wrench his fingers seriously: "Well, of course, Elena and Lisa, Claudia and Ashari, Cecilia, and Dahni." Counting slowly, he paused deliberately, and then raised his gaze: "And you." ”
"You, you, you...... What are you talking about!" Anna Sue stared wide-eyed for about three seconds before jumping up like a fried cat: "This...... What an unexpected and outrage......ous statement! I have nothing to do with you!"
"Shameless can't be talked about, please call it fraternity, thank you. Someone completely ignored the aristocratic form of swearing, and casually rambled shamelessly: "But Anna Sui, you have been really sensitive lately, is it my delusion? I remember that you used to peek at me and Daheni crackling and were able to ignore it, and now ......"
"That's enough, please stop! I have nothing to ......say about it."
The staff lady pressed her ears as fast as she could, and closed her eyes, but it was completely meaningless, and the man's words were still clearly imprinted in her mind:
"By the way, speaking of peeking. Anna Sui, I ask you one thing. ”
"I didn't hear it!"
"Which is more interesting, humans or ants, and which one do you prefer?"
"Ants!"
"Would you want to be an ant?"
"Of course not!"
"So why observe ants?"
"Huh?" Anna Sue opened her eyes and saw that the man was already smiling—it didn't seem to be a simple joke about her, so she could only reply seriously: "Is there any point in that? If it's an observation...... I mean, if it's just observing a qiē action, of course human beings are more changeable. More ...... I don't know what to say, or rather, it's worth observing. ”
"So, if one day, you're stuck in one place and can't get out, there's nothing you can do. So would you observe ants? If that's the case, would you want to be an ant? Or would you watch the ants in action all the time?"
"To kill time, maybe, but I don't think I'll look at it for too long, because it's boring. Anna Sue frowned as Edward's expression seemed to encourage her. But she really couldn't think of any use in the question: "Even if there is nothing to do, I'd rather take the time to think about how to leave." ”
"That's right, that's right. Edward nodded, "Even if you don't have anything to do, you should want to leave early." Even if you don't have anything to do, you should want to leave early......" Repeating the phrase slowly, he seemed to be lost in some thought again, but just as the staff lady shook her head inexplicably, ready to leave. He suddenly looked up again: "Why do you think we lied?"
"In order to deceive other people, in addition, unlike you, I rarely lie. The girl almost reflexively decided that this was another boring joke of the man: "Even if I lie, I am only trying to protect myself, or to protect others from harm." ”
"Yes. To protect yourself. Edward raised his voice, then laughed, "Yes, generally speaking, people do everything to protect themselves. I have to say Anna Sui, you are very smart, much smarter than me. I spent two days thinking about something, and you answered it casually. ”
Yes, human beings are not as good as gods, and they can't be compared with ancient evil things, but even such humans don't pay too much attention to being a being that is lower than themselves, keeping a pet or being fun, but keeping a large group is another matter, and for Pandorian Ryan, how can he have been paying attention to the human world for more than 30,000 years?
Don't care about observing for a while?
If it's just something that can't work out, or he'll be on the sidelines...... But it is not impossible for him to succeed, even in the past 30,000 years of history, the restoration of royal power to almost complete, only one step away from breaking the seal, I am afraid that it is unique, except when it was just minted.
Therefore, Pandor's words must have undoubtedly made ...... At least partially, his attention to Edward had determined that he could not tolerate this defeat!
He was optimistic about Edward, it was true, but because of this, he was not destined to be indifferent to it!
All lies are to disguise his purpose, and this purpose is destined to have only one, that is, to enter this universe and devour everything here! And this plan is obviously not perfect, he cannot use its power, and can only rely on a few unreliable human beings, so he must use lies to defeat Edward's defenses, if he has no confidence in the future, then the passage for the ancient evil creatures to enter the main material plane will be opened earlier!
This was Edward's inference after three days of groggy sleep.
But does this inference really make sense?
"This world may be mine, this world may be yours, but at the end of the day, I won't give ......it to you," the Psychic muttered to himself, reining in laughter.
Time in the half-plane is always night.
It's just that now, in the starry sky, which was always transparent and high, there were a few more thick clouds, and the moonlight cast a vast shadow on the ground, but in a corner of the sky, the thick clouds were filled, forming a bottomless darkness, slowly swirling. The starlight occasionally flickered, reflecting the edge of the cloud, the tower-like pillars of cloud and the tumbling wall of clouds, giving the illusion of a castle in an instant.
Or, it's not a delusion......
Striding out of the halo of teleportation, Edward's gaze froze only in the darkness of the sky, and then it was like a sharp arrow. Rushed into the clouds.
The brilliant stars and the bright moon had disappeared in this darkness, and as far as the eye could see, it was exactly the same gloomy darkness, the sound of insects in the plane, the sound of the wind passing through the treetops. It's been completely wiped out. The darkness is so thick and viscous, it blocks people's hearing, sight and smell, and even seems to have slowed down the stirring of the heart, making people feel that time is so **, a second seems like a thousand years, a thousand years like a second......
And yet in the middle of it. Edward's eyes flickered with a subtle glow that guided him in the direction he was heading.
After a few dozen breaths, he stopped flying, staring silently at the near, silvery-gray sheening metal.
"What's new?"
The human asked. Then, a slender and tall figure came out of the darkness, and the heavy dark smoke rolled and separated. Behind her recondensed, the silver glimmer reflected her delicate and pale face, cold and gloomy, but amazingly beautiful. Edward lingered on the face for a few breaths.
"Is there anything wrong with my appearance?"
The long gaze finally broke the silence when the woman spoke. Edward's gaze withdrew from her sideburns, the small, sharp pinna, and asked softly, "Just a little curious." Lady Bellena, I remember that you weren't originally a half-elf god, right?"
Even if it is not deliberately embellished, God's appearance is not eternal, but changes according to the nature of God's power. The Dark Goddess's voice was impatient. But there is no interest in saying anything more: "As you asked, I have found some way to destroy him." However, it is still far from perfect. With a flick of her fingers, she drew the human gaze to the tiny bits of silver,
"So fast? Sure enough, it's a high god. It's much better than them. ”
"What is the power of their group of people who have ascended to the gods by relying on the grace of Sivanus and Corellon?" Bellena just sneered at someone's compliment: "Actually, if you have a better understanding of the mysteries of this plane, you will realize that the method of destroying the royal power is not complicated. ”
"Oh. ”
It was undeniable that Edward's heart was overjoyed, and even his expression was rare, although it was only a slight movement of the corners of his mouth. But in fact, since opening the door to psychic abilities, there have been fewer and fewer parts of his expression that do not search and control.
Self-hypnosis extends the perception of psychic superpowers, and as long as they want to, time will be extended in their spirit several times or even dozens of times, and every expression is difficult to appear uncontrollably before this—even the action of frowning will become extremely slight and imperceptible.
But perhaps it was an attempt to avenge someone's act of turning herself into a puppet, and the Dark Goddess immediately poured cold water on the flame of joy: "However, neither you nor we can do it. ”
The human smiled.
"There is no point in even forcing a smile. ”
"No, you don't know, I smiled naturally, really ......" Edward's gaze withdrew from the timbre, "If you do it so lightly, then I will suspect that you have been led astray." It's because it's not easy to do that there's hope. The other thing is that you and I can't do it, so naturally it means that we can do it, so of course I will be happy. ”
The Dark Lady pursed her thin lips, her pure black pupils reflecting the man's smile, as if to drown it out, "Well, you're right. She sighed: "Actually, very simply, this thing is also the energy construction of divine power, so it will also be consumed, so the power we use, as long as it reaches an absolute level, can directly shatter it and cut its connection." ”
"It's really simple. Edward nodded, "So, let's just say the conclusion." ”
"The conclusion is that as long as this thing is connected to a soul, it will have a symbiotic effect, so if he is about to destroy it, then it will immediately back. ”
"Regurgitation? Well, and then I'm done with it, and it explodes to pieces with a bang?"
"Almost, you're going to be wiped out. But not destroyed, but absorbed. The Dark Lady nodded: "I was fortunate enough to see it once, the moment this thing is destroyed, it will try its best to absorb all the energy around it, any power that can be used by it, especially spiritual energy to make up for the damage it receives, if it is a god or fine, but the human will only be swallowed by it immediately, that will not make him recover, but it will be turned into a fragment, and it will be transported to an indefinite place, waiting again"
And then, the devoured soul, or the chance to be like the likes of Inkaibu Güros, to be bound in this fragment?
It's really ruthless.
Edward nodded: "So, I can assume that what you call 'no way', that is, my soul connection with this thing is impossible to cut off lightly, right?"
