I flew back to Cuilan Hill, and flew into the living room through the broken window of Yue Luo's house with ease.
Now that I know that Darien and the others will only continue to look for me tomorrow, I should probably take a good rest.
Well, I have to think of another solution.
If only... I could communicate with those little lemures.
Perhaps there is some strange poison in Old Man Fengge's place that can make the bad-tempered wild wolf spiders or owl beasts outside Trilan Hill go crazy. They will rush into the village and maybe even trample one of Allen's legs.
Thinking this way, I flew across the living room full of open tomes with a heavy heart.
There was no one in the living room, but I was keenly aware that there was something strange in the basement of Yueluo's house.
There, strong waves of magic were pouring out from the cracks in the door.
Could it be that my lobbying in Sundar's ears last night had an effect? Is she planning to blow up her father's alchemy platform today?
After hesitating for a moment, I couldn't hold back my curiosity and flew there.
If she really did that, I would have to appreciate her masterpiece, right?
*
It took a lot of effort for me to crawl into the crack of the ajar door. With just one glance, I saw the slightly embarrassed silhouettes of the father and daughter.
Look, Sundar's cheeks were covered with black ash, and the sleeve of his right hand was torn in half.
Quinti's condition was even worse. His eyepatch seemed to have been burned off, revealing scars like sarcoma underneath.
So, am I late?
But why didn't they glare at each other?
On the contrary, the scene in front of me was really... disgusting.
Look, Sundar is carefully mobilizing the magic patterns on the alchemy table. The deep purple magic light makes her eyes look like transparent glass.
The one-eyed Quinti was attached to her shoulder, nervously watching Sundar's every move.
"Be careful, Sundar! Be careful! Be careful!" He shouted at the top of his voice, his fists clenched, "Quick! Adjust the magic patterns here quickly. You must divert this magic power, otherwise, the magic circle will There will be an explosion!"
Sundar was so yelled that he was in a hurry, and his fingertips slid wildly on the alchemy table, even dragging out afterimages.
However, the situation did not get better.
The red light flashing on the alchemy table became more and more intense, and there was also a buzzing buzz!
boom--
Suddenly, a muffled sound exploded.
A ball of hot white steam hit the ceiling like a cannonball, tearing off a large piece of the wall there!
"Oh!" The three of us said in unison!
I swooped and hid under the thick solid wood cabinet in front of me, my curly hair standing on end!
"Hurry up, Sundar! Be careful!" Beside the alchemy table, Quinti roared at the top of his lungs, "Oh my god! Be careful!"
Turn around suddenly.
From my perspective, I saw him hugging his daughter to his chest, trying to use his own body to block the coming shock for her, while the frightened Sundar grabbed his shirt tightly, The lips turned white.
However, nothing happened.
When the red light on the alchemy table reached its peak, the buzzing sound from there gradually subsided.
The last cloud of hot air dissipated silently in mid-air like water bubbles.
After a long while, the father and daughter straightened up and looked at the alchemy platform cautiously.
I saw a purple breeze with a faint red edge swirling up from the flickering magic patterns on the table. In the misty purple light, the handful of seeds on the alchemy table began to twist as if they were alive.
Under their yellow-brown skin, something sticky seems to be rising and falling.
Those things are uglier and more disgusting than Quinty's eyes!
"...God, you succeeded!" After a pause, Quenti shouted again. He grabbed the girl's right shoulder and shook it hard, "Did you see it?! Sundar?! You have it?" A smart mind and stable hands! You are a natural alchemist! Thank you Elune! Thank you to the gods! Thank them for giving you this rare talent!"
Those words made Sundar open her mouth, and her cheeks gradually turned dark blue, "...It...can it really turn into other plants?" After a long while, she squeezed out those words from her throat. , the tone was full of disbelief.
"Yes! Child!" Quinti touched his half-burned left temple and replied proudly and excitedly, "As long as a steady supply of magic power is required, these seeds can turn into morning wheat seeds! Lord Staghelm is willing In exchange for them with knowledge and friendship, I may be able to find a book in my lifetime and find a way to retrieve my soul. At that time, we can..." As he spoke, he suddenly closed his mouth and looked down carefully. Look at your daughter.
It was obvious that Sundar was not paying attention to his words. She stared at the alchemy table, her eyes sparkling.
However, suddenly, the elf girl's light blue eyebrows wrinkled together slightly, "...I think...they don't give me the right feeling..."
"You are just tired, my child." Quinti put his charred right hand around his daughter's shoulders and led her towards the door, "You need to take a rest."
"But... I would rather go outside to play. Yilin and the others are waiting for me... uh... I mean..."
"Go ahead, good boy."
"Really?! You're not angry?!"
"Even if you play with them, it can't change the fact that you are a born alchemist!" Quinti proudly raised his chin and closed the basement door with his backhand.
*
Silence and warmth always make people drowsy.
*
I stepped on wet ground.
The land was dark, muddy, and smelly.
When you look at it, you will feel as if there is red and purple liquid flowing inside.
Where is this?
I held my nose and looked around.
The thick black mist hung between the sky and the earth, making this place seem too depressing.
I lightly stomped my feet in the mud. Through the soft soil, I seemed to have stepped on something.
Um?
Is it a newly born little pumpkin?
Or the apple that fell too early?
I remember, the crazy girl in the apple orchard always liked to do this kind of thing.
She would quietly bury the green apples in the ground, and then, after they were covered with black hair, dig them out and throw them to some unlucky guy passing by, laughing and dancing.
Yes, I was the unlucky guy in the mid-term.
For this, I once gave her two whips, but afterwards, my father Sir Joffrey locked me in a cold woodshed. "The Holy Light teaches us to tolerate weakness."
Pooh!
I pushed away the soil with my toes, and just when I was about to see what it was, a dark and skinny fist suddenly pierced the ground. I almost watched it frame by frame as it spread its fingers and grasped it tightly. My ankle!
"Oh!" I screamed, kicking my right foot hard, trying to break free from the hand, but at that time, I was shocked to find more and more hands sticking out of the soil!
Those hands that looked like withered flowers wrapped around my thighs and around my waist with withering and despair!
"Holy Light! Help!" I pushed away those snake-like arms, but I couldn't push away the cold stinging pain coming from them!
The vicious feeling was like a needle pricking into my flesh! It followed my blood vessels, invaded my brain, and invaded every cell in my body!
My whole body seemed to be frozen!
...I have to...have to get out of here!
...I must...must fly!
Thinking like this, I used my last strength to bend my legs slightly, and then kicked hard!
I actually broke free!
The next second, I spread my wings and flew into the sky!
I rushed into the bright red sky and into the snow-white mountains not far away bathed in blood light...
This is... the Alterac Mountains? !
So the place I stepped on just now was really Rubio Manor? ! Is it a white house? !
I looked back in horror, but the black mist had completely obscured it!
All I saw were fistfuls of colorful feathers falling in the wind in mid-air. When that emerald green feather crossed the tip of my claw, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Why do I have claws?
Why are there feathers?
Why...am I flying?
Have I become a sad little bird again? !
When that thought flashed through my mind, I just felt that the wind holding me suddenly disappeared.
The feeling of being sucked out of my feet made me scream and wake up suddenly.
*
…Nightmare…
It was just an unreal nightmare.
I rubbed my pounding heart, and my vision slowly became clearer.
But at that moment, what I saw in front of me made my heart jump into my throat again!
You would never have imagined that a butterfly with one eye hanging was floating silently next to me!
A pair of strong fingers were gently squeezing me and placing me into the other thick hand!
And the owner of those hands is Dallion!
Why is this guy here? !
How long did I sleep? !
Is it already the next morning? !
Sundar came over from the side, and the few freckles on his face jumped up and down in response to her surprised expression.
I noticed the remaining black ash on her chin, that spot was exactly the same as the last time I saw it!
The shape is exactly the same!
This guy didn't wash his face all day? !
No no no! Now is not the time to think about this!
I shook my head vigorously, but I didn't know what was wrong. I always felt weak and weak, which directly led to my failure to escape immediately.
"Oh! There is really an elf hiding here!" I saw Sundar's glowing eyes almost touching me. "Why are you looking for the elf?! Oh! Why does it have patterns on its body?! Ai Luen, she has a face!"
"Shh - Miss Yueluo, don't wake her up." Dallion waved his left hand anxiously, and clenched his slightly retracted right hand into a fist, "She is very smart and agile. Once she slips away, it will be difficult for us to catch her. ”
"Don't worry, friend." A little further away, Allen, who only had half pointed ears, patted the dust on his green robe proudly, "My magic power is very abundant. As for this little magic of finding people," he He raised his chin arrogantly and raised two fingers, "I can at least perform it twice without any effort!"
Um? !
what did he say? !
What is "effortlessly cast twice!"?
Wait... In other words, these two bad guys cheated on me? !
"Uh, then..." Sundar spoke slowly, his hands unconsciously stroking the belt around his waist, "Well, I mean, can I..."
"Yes." Dallion told her firmly, while quickly opening the leather pocket on his waist with his left hand and taking out the transparent gauze inside, "I swear, you will get the dagger studded with rubies."
"I want the handle = crossbow even more."
"It's yours too."
"marvelous!"
so bad!
Taking a deep breath, I quickly flew up from Darien's palm, staggered past the gauze like cicada wings, and rushed towards the half-open door not far away!
That bastard Darien was right when he said it, once I slip away, it will be hard for them to catch me!
"Messiah!" The sudden change made the boy as tall as a bear scream. He turned around quickly, and the next second, a short and powerful syllable burst out from his cracked lips and teeth, "Kress!"
boom--
A piece of golden holy light fell in front of me like a waterfall, and the servant of the holy light wearing ferocious armor appeared in front of the door frame, blocking the place tightly with his burly body.
He held his sword and looked down at me, his eyes as calm as the sea.
"Hell!" I bared my teeth at him fiercely, turned around along his hot shoulder armor, and pressed tightly against the warm ceiling.
"Come down quickly! Messiah!" Dallion, who was chasing after a few steps, raised his head and shouted to me in a low voice.
Only an idiot would go down there!
I stared at him, but the corner of my eye moved quickly around the room.
However, this room is not big and there seems to be only one exit. What should I do? !
But at that moment, I noticed that Kress seemed to move.
Ah, I don’t know if he really moved, but anyway, his neck was slightly bent forward, so that there was a gap between his back armor and the door frame!
Hey!
I love this servant of the Light!
I screamed strangely and jumped down from the ceiling, squeezing into the gap with precision.
"It's going to run away!" Sundar pointed at me and shouted from behind, and seemed to throw a small paper ball at me or something, but how could she hit me? !
Freedom is ahead of me!
But there was a person standing outside the door, and it was the one-eyed Quinti!
He seemed to have been looking at Kress's back curiously, so I was sure that he noticed me at the first moment and noticed half of my body sticking out from the gap. Of course, he must have heard it too. Sundar's exclamation!
I saw clearly that a malicious light flashed in his one eye, and the next second, I heard him reciting a short sentence, "The moonlight is like fire, there is nowhere to hide!"
What? !
A dark purple flame appeared in front of my nose almost immediately and rushed toward me!
The flame was not hot, but it stirred up enough wind that the gust of wind pushed me back through the gap between the door frame and Kress.
"Whoa!" The field of vision was reversed, and I rolled all the way and hit the wooden cabinet opposite the door. I was bounced back by the cold glass, and hit Dallion's right shoulder, which almost made me see stars. .
"Messiah!" The boy turned his head desperately, and his blue eyes almost popped out of his sockets. "Are you okay?! Huh?!" He raised his strong left arm and tried to I took it off my shoulder, and if I hadn't jumped up immediately, he would have succeeded.
"Get away! You bastard!"
"Brambles are like snakes, swallowing up the bonds!" Almost at the same moment, another curse sounded softly.
Isn't that slightly high-pitched voice Allen, or who is it? !
With lightning-like eyes, I locked onto the bad guy's location at a glance!
I saw him standing in the corner of the house with his hands spread out, green magic light kept surging in his glowing eyes!
A pair of new buds bloomed in his hands. The next second, the pair of new buds stretched rapidly, intertwined with each other, sprang out from his palm like a snake, and swept towards me!
oh! I gasped! Before he could think of anything, he turned around and ran away!
However, the tangled vines were so fast that they swarmed over my head almost in an instant!
Oh my God! The loop formed by the vines is about to trap me!
I quickly closed my eyes, and the next second, I entered the deep purple world.
With one step, I temporarily escaped the pursuit of the vines and reached the alchemy platform three meters away!
"Repent of your sins!" The syllables with magical vibrations rang out again. In an instant, I didn't even have time to say a bad word, and I felt dizzy and lost control of my body.
I watched helplessly as the boy ran over and covered the top of my head with that extremely thin layer of gauze.
Anger spurted out from every cell in me, and I almost... almost exploded with rage!
...Why...why is this bastard doing this to me? !
…He’s going to catch me…
...How will he torture me to please those night elf monkeys?
I...I will never surrender!
In an instant, dark lightning pierced my brain.
I realized that those rays of light were pure and intense shadow energy. They were like sharp knives, cutting through the threads of magical energy that held me like a puppet string, allowing me to regain some clarity.
Not far away, there was more pure energy. I subconsciously reached out and pulled them over with all my strength, throwing them behind me like a coat.
At that moment, the shadow energy completely covered me like a skin, cutting off all the magic threads connected to me!
I felt as if I had turned into a dark, glowing glass statue!
Yes, it's a statue.
Because that layer of shadow energy is extremely cold and heavy.
With just one breath, I could no longer bear it, and could only let it slide from my skin and merge into the purple shadow realm.
The Kingdom of Shadow also quickly disappeared. I tried to enter there again, but the wind there was already coated with a red edge.
*
My body was free again, but it was completely covered by the transparent gauze. I couldn't even support the weak weight, so I could only sit on the alchemy table angrily.
Woohoo--
A seemingly invisible magical light danced in the magic patterns on the table, bringing out white hot sparks one after another.
Wait, where did the spark come from? !
Buzz--
There was a shrill buzz on the alchemy table!
I looked down at myself and found that the magic power swimming in the magic lines was passing through my body and running around the entire alchemy table!
do you understand me? !
My body connected with those magic lines that I didn't want to connect at first, causing the magic power inside to rush towards one of the magic nodes!
At this moment, a seed placed on that magic boundary point was like a beating heart, expanding, shrinking, and then swelling even bigger, as if it was about to burst at any time!
And that explosion will be earth-shattering!
For a moment, my heart seemed to jump into my brain, "Let me out quickly!" I yelled with a distorted voice.
Apparently, other people noticed too!
"It's going to explode!" Sundar covered his face and screamed. This idiot seemed to know nothing but screaming!
"Messiah!" Dallion's face was twisted, and he grabbed me from the alchemy table!
But, it's too late!
That seed really exploded!
