Chapter 14: Good Memories
After successfully advancing to the rank of Tier 2 Soul Mage, Xiu Yi couldn't wait to learn the new soul spells.
I have to say that the soul spell is so pitiful. Level 2 can learn even fewer spells than Beginner, and there are only three in total, which are Mana Sucking, Spirit Burning, and Lost Dance.
The Lost Dance is a chaotic spell that is upgraded from ** burning.
It's just that **burning can only make the middle person burn himself**, and it has no effect on people who are not very obsessed. The Lost Dance directly causes the opponent to fall into confusion and thus lose the ability to attack.
As for how long the Lost Dance lasts, it depends on the resistance of the willpower of the person who likes it and the cultivation of the caster.
Xiu Yi once performed a lost dance to Asahi once, and the little guy was in a daze, and nothing happened.
He very much hoped that it was due to the fact that the demon dragons had different physique and were too strong-willed, but looking at the little guy's lazy appearance every day, living a life of eating and opening his mouth, he did not have the demeanor of a strong-willed person at all, so he had to realize that this was probably the reason for his lack of cultivation.
As for the spirit burn, it is an upgrade spell of the spirit impact technique, which causes a spirit attack by burning the opponent's spiritual energy, which is much more powerful than the general spirit attack effect.
Mana sucking is perhaps the best and most ridiculous of the three spells.
As the name suggests, this spell can replenish the mana consumed by oneself by absorbing the mana of others, and its effect can be called anti-heaven.
Unfortunately, this spell is also extremely restrictive.
Its restriction is that the object of mana sucking must be done without the will to resist.
Because only in this way can the soul mage smoothly establish a magic transmission channel with the other party, so as to continuously absorb mana from the other party. During this period, the person who is sucked mana can not only take the initiative to interrupt the mana sucking, but can even take this opportunity to launch a counterattack, causing the opponent to form a mana backlash.
For the vast majority of mages, such a requirement means that they cannot absorb mana from their enemies, and drawing mana from their own allies is equivalent to weakening the strength of their allies, which is meaningless in battle, so spells like this have little effect on most mages.
But for Huey, he's been interested in this spell for a long time.
The reason why he gave priority to engrave himself with a dark demon pattern, and desperately tried to promote himself, could even be said to be going for this spell.
It can even be said that if he wants to face Ablit in the future, he will have to rely on this spell to succeed.
When he finally finished chanting the mana sucking spell, a strange smile appeared on Xiuy's face.
He looked evilly at the little demon Long Xu, who was too lazy to study.
The little guy shivered inexplicably, always feeling as if something bad was about to happen.
When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back, and there is no good thing in the world that you don't eat for nothing and don't make effort. Soon after, the little guy finally understood this truth "profoundly".
Xiuy went out for many days this time, during which Daisy and Lanti were in a hurry, and even Clarice came to ask a few times.
During these days, in addition to carving the magic pattern on his body, Xiu Yi also prepared some other alchemist props for himself.
It wasn't until he was done with everything that he returned to Fragrant Leaf City.
"Oh, you're finally back. As soon as Lanti saw Huey, he cried out, "Fink, you've made everyone anxious. ”
"What's wrong?" Xiu Yi didn't think that the troupe would be able to survive without him.
"Oh no, nothing happened, it's just that we haven't heard from you for days. Daisy grabbed Huey's arm, "I don't know what you're doing, but we all hope you understand how much we care about you." ”
Lan Ti's tone was very resentful: "We thought you left us and didn't come back." ”
The friendship between the two girls for Xiu Yi can be seen even by fools. Xiu Yi was silent for a while, and finally took Daisy and Lanti's hands: "This really scares me, I don't understand what can make me get the other treatment from both of you at the same time." I thought I was just an ordinary passerby to you. Even after this period of contact, we will one day be separated. ”
"Don't you believe us, or do you think we have ulterior motives?" asked Daisy as she looked at Huey.
Lan Ti said, "Maybe you think we are too unreserved?"
"No, it's not like that. In fact, I am very afraid of your affection, but I am also a little afraid to bear it. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong and misleading you? I mean...... I can't promise you anything. ”
"Why a promise?" said Daisy who said this, much to Huey's surprise.
The girl in front of him looked at him with a smile: "You just don't know us." ”
"I don't understand. Xiu Yi said very sincerely.
"That's because you're not part of the cabaret, so you can't understand life in the cabaret. Lan Ti said softly, "Fink, maybe you still don't understand. The girls of the song and dance troupe often had to perform everywhere, and there were always girls who would sleep with some nobles for money, which made our reputation very bad, and it was difficult for us to find a good husband. But even if there is no reason for money, the nobles always have enough ways to get what they want, and they don't care about our lives or deaths afterwards. We don't want to do this, but we can't do anything without it. We are a group of poor women, but the bad reputation falls on us forever, no matter what we have done or what we have not done. ”
Daisy also said: "So the girls in the song and dance troupe always understand one thing, when happiness comes to us, we must grasp it ourselves, grasp it." Otherwise, even if it comes, if we miss it because of our reserve, we will only regret it. ”
Lan Ti continued: "We are not those ladies who are beautiful ladies, they have too many excellent choices, and we are dealing with dirty dock workers, farmers, hunters, and maybe never have the opportunity to enter high society in our lifetime, our only qualification is to climb into the bed of the nobles, and then get up and leave in a hurry before dawn, taking a few gold coins from the noble lords for us. The only thing we can pray for is not to get pregnant, or preferably to get pregnant...... Different people have different options. ”
Daisy spoke again: "So the girls of the song and dance troupe must at least learn to grasp the opportunity and cherish every excellent man who walks in front of them before they go that far." Fink, until we get there, at least we can choose what we like. For no other reason than just because we like ......"
Huey finally understood.
On this continent, even the most glorious and prosperous song and dance troupe, the status of the singers is extremely low. Many times the word singer is not much different from it. The life of the song and dance troupe is actually like the wandering culture of the gypsies (destined to a wandering life, even if it is carefree, it is only a sad tragedy, even if it is uninhibited, there is only rootless bitterness.) 1)
For most of the girls in the song and dance troupe, when there is a man who they are satisfied with floating in front of them, they will put down their dignity, give up their face, and do whatever it takes to catch him, even if that man does not belong to them, at least before they are forced to reluctantly go to sleep with those nobles, they can say to themselves that the first man in their lives is their own choice.
There are never many opportunities in life, seize all possibilities!
That way they can at least have good memories of the most important one.
The boy in front of him was handsome and polite, and even in the face of Clarice's blackmail, he was not angry at all, but was able to lend her all the money. He seemed so intelligent, skillful, and considerate of others, that the girls could hardly find any fault in him except that he was a little younger.
That's enough to tempt the girls.
They don't expect Xiu Yi to stay and guard them for the rest of their lives, but they hope that Xiu Yi can leave them a beautiful life memory worth savoring.
This attitude towards life can be said to be completely caused by the confusion and lack of confidence in the future, they no longer care about the outcome, only pursue the process of having happiness. Even if that happiness is short-lived.
Huey was silent.
At that time, he wanted to say, I can protect you, but he couldn't say it after all.
Still Daisy is careful, she covers Xiuyi's heart with her little hand: "Don't pity us, don't pity us, and don't stop you for us." From the day we entered the song and dance troupe, we were mentally prepared enough. ”
Lan Ti put her arms around Xiuyi's waist from behind: "We don't know what life will be like in the future, but we know that life tonight should be good." Fink, would you like to join us?"
Hui replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I do...... Would love to give you a pleasant memory. ”
"Maybe it's the best memory of my life. Daisy closed her eyes and whispered in a sweet voice.
Her expression was already intoxicated.
Daisy and Ranti spent the night in Huey's room.
