Chapter 258: Eighth-Order Demon Archmage, Joshua
Compatriot......
When Qi Lin heard this title, he didn't know whether to explain it for a while.
"I need you to get me out!"
At this time, the black-haired figure tied to the stone pillar by purple chains once again let out a hoarse voice: "Although I only have a wisp of remnant soul left, I still have a lot of knowledge, and those are the most valuable treasures, save me out!" I'll take you as a disciple! I'll pass that knowledge on to you!
This is an eighth-order archmage's knowledge inheritance!!
And like me, you are a hybrid of blood demons and heart demons, and you can learn all the spells I created, just like the "Crazy Fire Technique" I gave you before! Get me out! I can give you more! More!!! ”
By the end, the black-haired figure was almost hysterical.
"But I don't know how to save you."
Qi Lin walked to the side of the stone and sat down, then looked at the other party, and said helplessly: "Because you didn't tell me any information at all, for example, where are you being held?" ”
“……”
The black-haired figure was silent.
After dozens of seconds, he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm done, do you hear me?" ”
"Huh?"
Qi Lin was puzzled at first, and then he reacted, shaking his head slightly, "No, I can't hear it." ”
"I knew ......"
The black-haired figure tied to the stone pillar by purple chains sighed deeply, "I'm still the same as before, I can't exud any thoughts of key information, but any thoughts that have any thoughts will be intercepted by this damn chain." ”
"Thoughts?"
Qi Lin raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, he had just guessed correctly, this place was a spiritual illusion.
Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't tell whether what this black blood demon said was demonic or something else.
Because the other party did not use the form of "language" to communicate with him at all.
From the beginning to the present, the communication between Qi Lin and this black-haired figure is neither the Blue Star language, nor the aboriginal language of the Hanhai Realm, nor the demon language, but a pure exchange of thoughts, which is commonly known as a spiritual dialogue.
As for the so-called "opening the mouth to speak", "voice" and so on, they are just a manifestation of thoughts.
To be precise, the current him and this black-haired figure, as well as the surrounding grottoes, are actually essentially a manifestation of thoughts.
This black blood demon used spiritual power to construct a pure psychic illusion.
And Qi Lin's body in this mental illusion is actually just a concretization based on his own thoughts, because he is used to opening his mouth to speak on weekdays, so he will also appear in the form of "opening his mouth to speak" when he emits related thoughts at this time.
According to this principle, if he wants to, he should be able to transform himself into an image here through a change of thought.
"Hmmm......"
Qi Lin thought of this, and the whole person began to flicker slightly, like a holographic projection with a bad signal.
Soon, his whole person completely changed into a different appearance, from his original real appearance to a Liu Jingyun wearing a beautiful long dress.
"You still have this hobby?"
The black-haired figure bound to the stone pillar by purple chains let out a faint whisper when he saw him change like this.
"I just wanted to ask you, do you know her?"
Qi Lin pointed to his face of Liu Jingyun at this time, and asked in a deep voice: "I was holding one of her hairs just now, and then I felt your breath from it, and then I felt that I was surrounded by your breath, and then, I was pulled into this illusion by you, so what do you have to do with her?" ”
"What?"
The black-haired figure seemed puzzled and said, "I don't know the female human you have become, I can only say that either you got the wrong source of your hair, or there are other reasons, because what you got is actually my hair." ”
"What?!"
This time it was Qi Lin's turn to wonder.
Or rather, shock!
"What do you mean?" Qi Lin looked at the black-haired figure in disbelief, "Your hair? Why is your hair on my hands?! ”
"I should ask you this question."
As soon as the black-haired figure spoke, the entire grotto shook slightly.
In an instant, Qi Lin's environment changed from the original grotto to a very classical style library, full of wooden shelves filled with all kinds of books, and a white ball of light suspended above, emitting a warm white light to provide lighting.
As for the original stone pillar, it has been turned into a gold silk wood desk.
And the black-haired figure who was originally bound to the stone pillar by purple chains also transformed into a tall man in a luxurious black robe.
He is two meters tall, with waist-length black hair, fair skin, handsome appearance, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and a mesmerizing depth in his red eyes, as if full of stories.
As for the set of black and gold robes he was wearing, he was embroidered with golden lines on the cuffs, collar, hem and other positions, which made the whole black robe low-key, and exuded a sense of elegance and nobility, which further set off his aristocratic temperament.
"Sit."
The brunette pulled out his chair and sat down at his desk.
Qi Lin's mind moved slightly, and he restored himself to his original real image, then stepped forward and sat directly opposite him.
"Hmmm......"
Qi Lin looked around and looked at this classical and elegant library, "I'll just say, it's all a spiritual illusion anyway, you can conjure up something you need to think about, why make it so miserable, and let yourself be tied to a pillar, let's talk like this from the beginning, how good?" ”
"I just want you to understand my terrible situation."
The black-haired man said lightly.
"So, the stone pillar just now shouldn't be the real scene of your detention, right?" Qi Lin asked, "If you can express these key information in the form of pictures, then you won't be locked up for so long." ”
"That's right." The black-haired man bowed his head slightly, "The grotto and stone pillars are fake, the real scene of my suppression is a different face, because of the chain, I can't build the real scene, and I just hope that through the picture just now, you can understand one thing - I am imprisoned, and I, I need you to save me."
But we'll talk about that later.
Let's move on to the topic we just talked about, which is the hair.
What you came into contact with before entering the illusion was my hair, otherwise I would not have been able to force you into my mental illusion through this medium while you were awake.
This is something that needs no further discussion.
What you get is my hair, there is no second possibility!
Now, I'm wondering, how did you get this hair? As far as I know, my body was destroyed by my master a long, long time ago, and there should be no hair left, so where did you get a single strand of my hair? ”
When the black-haired man said this, his pair of red eyes were full of doubts.
"Then you'll have to let me go out before I can answer you."
Qi Lin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Otherwise, I can only say now that this strand of hair was picked up by my girlfriend on the ground, and it is suspected that it was the hair dropped by a female human being...... But you're obviously not satisfied with this answer, and I'm not satisfied either, so you'll have to let me out first, and let me go to the female human to ask for clarification. ”
"I have a hunch that I'll be able to get out of trouble soon."
The black-haired man suddenly changed his words and said this.
"How?"
Qi Lin was a little curious.
"Because you and this hair showed up."
The black-haired man looked at Qi Lin and said seriously: "I've been waiting for too long, and you, you're the first compatriot I've met since I've been trapped for so long, you, like me, have the power of both heart and blood demons flowing in your body, I think this is a sign."
And my hair appeared with you, and my body was destroyed a long time ago, but this hair appeared in your hand, and this is the second sign...... The day of my escape is approaching, and you, compatriot, you are my savior! Oh yes, what do you call it? ”
"Call me 'Pro.'" Qi Lin said casually, "What about you?" What should I call you? ”
"Nice to meet you, Pro, you can call me Joshua." The black-haired man said softly.
"Let me get out of here, then, Mr. Joshua."
Qi Lin stood up, looked at the black-haired man with a handsome face, and said seriously: "After all, your rescue plan is at an impasse, you can't tell where you are trapped because of that purple chain, and I don't know where to save you, and now the only clue is your hair, but if I don't go out, I can't follow the vine to find the clue." ”
"Well, see you next time."
Joshua also stood up and smiled, "Pro, if you find any clues and want to tell me, touch that hair again, it is my hair, which can be used as a medium for me to forcibly pull you into the psychic realm...... Or, you can choose to sleep, and after you fall asleep, I can also enter your dreams and meet you. ”
"I remember."
Qi Lin nodded slightly.
"You'd better not go to sleep, though."
Joshua seemed to think of something at this point, and added: "I have been trapped for too long, and my soul has worn out to the point that I often go into a state of madness, and I don't have much time to stay awake like this, and if I find you sleeping in a state of madness, then I may enter your dream and mess around, so you better not sleep, and if you want to see me, you should do it by touching your hair." ”
"Understood."
Qi Lin nodded again.
"See you next time, Pro."
Joshua smiled and waved softly.
"Hum—"
The entire library space began to distort, shake, and become blurred.
And Qi Lin couldn't help but close his eyes.
……
……
"Huh?"
Qi Lin suddenly opened his golden eyes!
"Qi Lin?!"
Seeing this, Irena who was sitting on the edge of the bed suddenly smiled, raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You're finally awake!" ”
"What about the hair? Hair?! ”
Qi Lin's face was ugly, he sat up suddenly, and rummaged on the bed for a while, "What about that hair just now?" Where did that hair go? It'......"
"It's in your hands!"
Seeing this, Irena hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, and then pointed to his right hand, "You haven't let go of your hand since you fell unconscious, this hair has been tightly grasped by you, and I can't pull it out!" ”
"Huh?!"
Qi Lin heard this, so he stopped the absurd operation of "taking hair to find hair" and looked down at his right hand.
I saw that the index finger and thumb of his right hand were tightly twisting a slender black hair at this time.
"Ugh!"
Qi Lin's face was ugly, as if he had gotten some hot potato, and hurriedly threw out the strand of hair.
"Huh?"
Irena first glanced at the strand of hair that was slowly falling to the ground, and then looked at him suspiciously, "So, what the hell is going on?" Why did you just pass out again? You don't think you're going to see that black claw again, are you? ”
"Pretty much."
Qi Lin stood up from the side of the bed, with a solemn expression, his hands on his hips, and circled around the black hair on the floor a few times.
"Pick it up!"
Suddenly, Qi Lin stopped, pointed to this hair and said, "Irena! Fast! Pick it up! Pick up the hair! Forehead...... No, no! Don't pick it up! You go find a box for me and put it up! Don't hold it in your hands! Don't use magic to control things in the air, either! It is better to use tweezers or chopsticks! Don't let your body or magic touch this hair anyway! Fast! ”
"Oh, oh."
Although Irena didn't understand anything, when she saw Qi Lin's serious expression, she hurriedly did so, rummaging through the rooms and finding a worn-out wooden jewelry box.
Then, she looked left and right, scratched her head, and finally pulled a wooden spoon out of her trouser pocket.
“……”
Seeing this, Qi Lin's originally heavy mood was slightly relieved, and he couldn't help but be amused, "Hey, Irena, why do you have a spoon in your trouser pocket?" ”
"It's convenient to eat in the back kitchen...... It's not right, it's a taste of poison. ”
After Irena quibbled, she crouched down, lowered her head, held a wooden spoon in one hand and a wooden box in the other, and carefully swept the black hair on the floor into the box.
Soon, she managed to put it together.
"Alright."
Irena stood up and handed the wooden box containing the strands of hair to Qi Lin.
“mua~”
Qi Lin hugged her into his arms, kissed her forehead, and then hugged the little succubus tightly, and said softly: "You, you can always make my bad mood better, thank you, Irena." ”
"What?"
Irena was a little confused.
"Alright, now listen to me."
Qi Lin took the wooden box, put it on the bedside table, and then took her little hand and sat on the edge of the bed together, and began to tell the story of what had just happened to Joshua in the spiritual illusion: "Just now, after I touched that strand of hair with my hand, I ......"
Two minutes later, the story was over.
"Eighth-Order Demon Archmage, Joshua?"
After listening to the ins and outs of the story, Irena was confused, "So, the hair that Liu Jingyun lost was actually the hair of that eighth-order demon archmage when he was born?" What the hell is this? Inexplicable. ”
"It's easy to know the truth, just ask."
Qi Lin said, took Irena's little hand and walked to the door of the room, "Let's go to Liu Jingyun now and ask for clarification!" Anyway, where is she now? A room on the second floor? Or is it something else? ”
"Forehead ......"
Irena thought for a moment, then said, "When I came back earlier, I happened to see them walking towards Grandma Sirumar's flower garden. ”
"They?" Qi Lin was a little puzzled, "Who is she with?" ”
"Anthony." Irena replied.
"Who is that Grandma Sirumal?" Qi Lin asked again, "Also, where is her flower garden?" ”
"It's just a grandmother who grows flowers." Irena continued, "That flower garden is just behind the market area of the walled city, and it's beautiful and perfect for a date. ”
……
……
Blood Raven Walled City, behind the market area, flower garden.
This is a flower garden, but also a vast sea of flowers, as far as the eye can see, everywhere there are purple and red glowing flowers, in the sunlight exudes colorful little fluorescence, the light of these flowers is not covered by the sun's rays, but complements each other, in the sunlight more gorgeous beauty.
These flowers are on the inland side, and have a long and elaborate scientific name.
But in the Devil's Sea, the islanders prefer to call it by a simple name - the Pure Heart Flower.
This heart purifying flower gives off an intoxicating aromatic scent.
This floral fragrance can play a magical effect of cleansing the soul and making people calm, and the islanders are not very good tempered due to the blood demon bloodline in their bodies, and they are all violent tempers, and they need this floral fragrance to suppress them for a long time.
Because of this, this kind of colorful Pure Heart Flower actually abounds among the major tribes of the Demon Sea, and the Blood Raven Tribe is no exception.
In addition to the calming effect of the floral fragrance, the pure heart flower is also favored by young islanders due to its fragrant smell and beautiful appearance, and is often used as a date place between couples.
At this time, a couple from another world also came to visit......
"Anthony, if I were no longer human, would you still love me?"
In the depths of the sea of flowers,
Liu Jingyun, wearing a linen dress of a local islander, sat on the grass with Anthony, snuggled in each other's arms, and suddenly asked such a sentence.
This time I asked Anthony directly stupidly.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Anthony thought about it for a long time, but decided to be cautious and asked a rhetorical question cautiously, for fear that the wrong answer would upset the other party.
He and Yunyun finally got back together, but they can't be lost again!
"I just want to know."
Liu Jingyun moved in Anthony's arms, then tilted her head slightly, her lips tapped the other party's face, and kissed him on the side of the cheek, "Answer me, okay?" If one day, you find out that I am actually a cruel and terrible bad woman, and I am not human, will you still love me? ”
“?”
“???”
If a question mark can pop up on the top of a human head, then Anthony's head is designated to be brushed with a question mark at this moment.
What the hell is going on?
Is it so complicated to fall in love now?!
"I'm sorry to interrupt your date."
Suddenly, a familiar male voice sounded from behind.
"Huh?"
Anthony, who was holding Liu Jingyun, subconsciously turned his head and followed the prestige.
I saw that the flowers were surrounded by Qi Lin and Irena walking slowly, both with solemn expressions and questioning eyes in their eyes.
"Liu Jingyun."
"I have something to ask you."
