On the way back, both of them were quite silent, but the reasons for their silence were different.
Wang Yu was thinking about what this teddy bear that occupied Rose's "brother" was, and how to kill this damn thing.
As for Aviya, the girl always has delicate thoughts, and the tragedy that happened in that cabin made her feel much more than it did Wang Yu.
If Aviya's emotions are like glass, then Wang Yu's are frosted, the kind that can be directly used as a whetstone.
"Wang Yu..." Aviya was pulled by Wang Yu and left the cabin. She wanted to say something, but she felt something was wrong with herself.
There was a feeling of sadness in her heart that was hard to suppress. She seemed to be able to feel the relationship between Rose and her "brother". She had also lost her relatives, her father, her elder brother and her younger brother...
The feeling of someone you care about leaving your side is really painful.
If she had the chance to save the people she cared about, would she also make a stupid choice?
Various thoughts were wandering in the girl's mind, and she didn't know why the past appearance of her father and brother appeared in her memory.
The not-so-good memories were connected to the fact that they had left her forever, but they made the river of sadness flow uncontrollably. Aviya felt that her heart was in chaos...
"Hey, shit, don't come, I really can't enlighten people, don't, don't, don't, just let me be simple and hammer that thing to death if I get the chance."
Wang Yu screamed strangely. He also knew that girls' minds are always delicate. Aviya must have said something when her mood was obviously wrong.
The question is, what can he say with his stone head? Feelings, yes, he will kill that damn teddy bear every time he sees it, but nothing else.
So asking Wang Yu to chat with Aviya and enlighten others would definitely lead to a breakdown in Wang Yu's opinion.
Instead of something going wrong then, it would be better to just beg the girl to spare him now. This guy still knows a lot about how much he weighs.
"Huh...?" Seeing Wang Yu running forward quickly, not holding her hand anymore, his expression twisted as if he had seen a ghost, Aviya felt a little weird.
It's rare to see this guy look like this now. He usually has either a calm face or a happy face, but now he looks like he's seen a ghost. It's a bit of a contrasting smile.
"Pfft~" I don't know why, but Aviya always calms down when seeing this guy.
Maybe it's Wang Yu's weird optimistic personality that affects the people around him.
Seeing this guy walking forward quickly, trying to avoid talking to her, Aviya felt that her sadness had been diluted a lot, and she laughed softly.
He walked forward quickly to close the distance between him and this guy with a twisted face. The guy in front of him speeded up as if he had eyes behind his back.
The two men chased each other towards their destination, Garcia's temporary station here.
When they arrived, Wang Yu had regained his composure and was not even out of breath, but the little mage was panting.
She was not in very good physical condition, but she had finished running this not-so-short distance without realizing it, and only now did she realize that she was very tired.
The feeling of sadness disappeared unconsciously. Instead, I felt a little angry?
Looking at the two people running in one after another, Garcia, who was sitting in front of a table, blinked and asked casually, "Is the mission completed?"
Wang Yu nodded. He took a look and found that sitting opposite the table in front of Garcia, there was a man who was even taller and stronger than Garcia.
The man is very tall, at least a head taller than Wang Yu, and has extremely strong muscles. Even if he is wearing a clerical robe unique to clergy, it is difficult to hide the bulging muscles under the fabric.
His whole face was unshaven, giving him the look of a bearded man, but it didn't give people that ferocious feeling.
I always feel that he is the kind of kind priest, but he doesn't take care of his appearance at all.
"Fang Stuart is the captain of the Night Blade in the Imperial City and the bishop of the Light God Religion in Arestle."
"You can call him Father Fang." Garcia saw Wang Yu's eyes looking at the strong priest opposite him, and introduced him naturally.
There is no seriousness like meeting a big shot, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
"Hello, Father Fang." Wang Yu gave a simple salute to the sturdy priest.
This strong priest didn't know why he had a natural affinity for Wang Yu. Thinking about it, Wang Yu had a better impression of anyone from the Guangming Sect.
"Hello, Knight Wang Yu, this mission went well. Can you tell me the process?" Fang nodded, with a smile on his unshaven face.
Since he's a big shot, there's nothing he can't say about it, so let's talk about it. I have some questions by the way.
Wang Yu began to talk about the process of how he and Aviya dealt with this incident, and at the same time asked his questions about the teddy bear.
Garcia listened quietly at first, and nodded approvingly when Wang Yu described his cooperation with Aviya.
But when Wang Yu talked about being knocked away by the black giant hand suddenly summoned by the boy, the boy seemed to have changed into a different person and was controlled by the teddy bear.
His eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Father Fang with different thoughts in their eyes.
"So this mission should be completed. Do you know what is in that teddy bear?" Wang Yu smoothly told the story of the mission and also asked his own questions.
Garcia and Father Fang looked at each other, and Father Fang spoke first.
"That is the Mind Flayer, an intelligent creature in the void, and it is also one of the main targets of our Night Blade."
"This creature is dedicated to twisting the minds of those with high void affinity, using their desires and abilities to create distortions and out-of-control void creations."
"And the more damage the void creations wreak on reality, the more power they draw from the chaos."
"They are keen to destroy the order of intelligent creatures in reality, and humans, elves and even other prosperous intelligent races are their targets."
"And these guys are very hidden. They often disappear without a trace when they are discovered. They will parasitize everyone with strong void affinity."
"The mind flayer hides in the void and secretly affects their mental space, inducing these people to go to extremes."
"Because they will flee quickly once they are discovered, so our current method is only to expel them."
"In rare cases, they can be killed with the power of divine magic, because these mind flayers have intelligence, so they know the existence of our Night Blade."
"Moreover, they will grow and evolve on their own, while also being extremely malicious to us."
"I see." Wang Yu now understood why the teddy bear was so malicious to him.
I'm afraid it was the gauntlet that made this intelligent being recognize Wang Yu as a member of the Night Blade, but he was killed by Wang Yu instead.
"As mentioned before, these guys will exert influence on those with strong void affinity, and they are difficult to kill."
"Little girl over there, come here." Father Fang said, calling Aviya, who was standing nearby and listening obediently, to come over.
"Huh?" Wang Yu and Aviya both realized the meaning of Father Fang's words.
Extremely hard to kill, would just blowing up the teddy bear really kill that thing? Obviously not, the void affinity is strong, Aviya is...
"You should understand what I'm saying, right? No matter whether this situation exists or not, it must be tested. I will cast a magical spell and you will open up your own spiritual space."
"This magical technique can detect the presence of mind flayers." Father Fang said, taking out the sacred book from his waist.
It was a huge book with a long iron chain attached to it. The book looked extremely heavy, with iron bumps on all four corners.
Wang Yu looked a little surprised. The weight and material of this thing, plus the iron chain, the meteor hammer?
Looking at Father Fang's explosive muscles again, he estimated that this guess was almost inseparable from the fact.
Father Fang opened the holy book. The material inside was very strange. It looked like cloth, but the words written on it felt like paper.
At this moment, it exudes a faint golden light in the priest's hand, giving people a gentle and peaceful feeling.
"Those who have wizard talents, please open up your own spiritual space. It just so happens that this place can also teach you a new knowledge."
As the priest said, he demonstrated first by closing his eyes and placing the holy book on the table in front of him.
A faint golden glow emanated from the Holy Scriptures and was thrown to every corner of the room, illuminating the interior of the room with a warm yellowish color.
There was nothing to hesitate. Wang Yu and Aviya also followed what the priest did, and calmed down, entered meditation, and explored their own spiritual space just like they usually did.
Wang Yu's method is quite special, it is direct inner viewing, and he can enter meditation a little faster than others.
Soon, he was standing on the familiar clear and translucent lake water. The water that covered his ankles was rippling quietly. It was beautiful. The starry sky above his head was still so gorgeous and lifeless.
When Wang Yu looked around, a magical scene happened. Wang Yu saw a huge castle rising from the ground in a void in his endless lake.
Next to the castle, a small church that was not very big but was very beautiful gradually turned from virtual to solid and stopped on the lake.
"Is this?" Wang Yu felt very surprised by this. He had never seen such a scene before, and he still didn't know much about wizards.
"This is the projection of our mental space in the void, so if wizards are very close, they can actually see each other's mental space."
The priest's voice came from the chapel. He was dressed in a priest's uniform and had bulging muscles. At this time, he lifted up his priest's uniform, revealing the rock-hard muscles underneath.
There is a string of meteor hammers in his hand, oh no, it is the Holy Scripture.
The priest stood at the door of the church, and his voice reached Wang Yu's ears.
Is that so? Wang Yu nodded, this was knowledge he really didn't know.
At this time, the main entrance of the huge castle slowly opened, and Aviya walked out of the castle. The girl in the aristocratic dress looked much more delicate than when she was wearing a little mage robe.
However, the girl's clothes are simple among the aristocrats, and there are not many decorations on the skirt. In addition, the girl's petite figure cannot be said to be dignified and luxurious. In Wang Yu's opinion, she is quite cute.
"Is that so?" Aviya nodded.
"What about Wang Yu's mental space?" Aviya asked curiously.
"..." Wang Yu pointed at the inferior-looking wooden door floating on the lake behind him. The lock was still broken. He remembered clearly that it was the door of his bedroom after all.
"..." Aviya didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Generally speaking, the stronger the void affinity of a person, the larger the mental space projection displayed. Miss Aviya's void affinity looks amazing." Father Fang said with a smile.
Aviya's expression changed. Her aunt had said that her talent should not be exposed to outsiders. Once discovered, she didn't know whether the greed and jealousy in others' hearts could be contained.
However, thinking of the identity of the priest of the Light Cult and the high-ranking leader of the Blade of the Night, Aviya exhaled her nervous breath again. The girl patted her flat chest and said, "I hope Father Fang will keep it a secret for me."
Father Fang nodded solemnly, "No problem, then let's see if there is a mind flayer in your mental space."
While Wang Yu was communicating with Aviya and Father Fang, he had been watching the projection of the two people's spiritual spaces.
The priest's church is not small in size. What is strange is that the starry sky at the top of the church is not the normal beautiful and dangerous starry sky.
Instead, it exudes a golden glow. Whether it is the starry sky or the stars, there is a soft light golden glow, which looks beautiful and reassuring, and is different from the feeling of void.
Among the golden stars, there is one that is particularly dazzling and brilliant. The glow it emits is like the meaning of the sun to the solar system. The soft and sacred light radiates the entire starry sky above the priest's head.
As for Aviya, Wang Yu had to lament the hugeness of this castle. It was more like a hill than a castle.
The castle was so huge that it was difficult for Wang Yu to even see the top. Standing in front of this majestic castle, Wang Yu felt as if he was facing a mountain as small as a mountain.
"It's so big. What a strong affinity to the void. Look at me..." Wang Yu once again marveled at how powerful the girl's affinity to the void was.
Comparing my own broken door, the gap is a bit big, but there is nothing to envy or anything, just sighing.
"Huh? What is that?" Wang Yu was looking at the girl's huge castle and found something crawling in a corner where the castle bordered the lake, at the corner of the huge castle wall.
A gray-white translucent body, circling and twisting limbs, densely covered suckers, a twisted and deformed bulging head, a gray-white translucent octopus?
This strange octopus is currently under the corner of the girl's huge castle, using its tentacles to try to dig holes in the wall of the girl's castle.
The soft tentacles looked very weak when facing the hard castle, but a little bit of constant erosion had actually created a not-so-small dent.
It is conceivable that if the octopus continues to erode over time, it will only be a matter of time before a hole opens.
Wang Yu frowned and walked up.
"Next, I will use magic to sweep our mental space. The function of this magic is to find possible mind flayers."
"The spiritual space between us is isolated, and it is difficult for us to influence each other, because we are all illusory to the void, just like the void is to us."
"And divine magic can break through this layer of restrictions and forcibly break through this layer of obstacles. Once the mind flayer is discovered, it will immediately flee."
"This is under the premise that we can break through this barrier, but if we can't break through this barrier, we can't even interfere with the Mind Flayer."
"Next, I will use the magic to explore it first. Once I find its existence, I will use the second magic to kill it."
"But this is more difficult because the mind flayers are very fast and there are very few successful kills."
"Then, I'll start"
"Yeah." Aviya nodded nervously.
The pale golden light poured down from the sky above the priest's church like flowing water.
The brightest star swayed her light softly, turning into a golden stream of light that flowed down quietly. The priest's church was shrouded in this sea of pale golden light, shining brightly.
As the priest's church was filled with golden light, the priest opened the holy book in his hand, and the light of the church merged into the holy book bit by bit, and the light gradually faded.
A golden visible shock wave emitted from the holy scripture and swept in all directions.
At the same time, Wang Yu also frowned and stepped on the clear lake towards the weird octopus trying to break through Aviya Castle.
The octopus seemed to be aware of Wang Yu's approach, but it didn't take it seriously and allowed Wang Yu to approach.
It still continued its movements trying to break through the city wall, as if it was certain that Wang Yu could not pose a threat to him.
Wang Yu ran across the lake, and when he approached Aviya Castle, he felt as if he had passed through something, but it did not hinder him.
Without thinking too much, Wang Yu rushed towards the octopus and reached out to catch it.
When the octopus saw Wang Yu rushing towards him, it finally realized that something was wrong, moved away from the city wall, got into the lake and tried to escape, quite quickly.
But Wang Yu moved faster, running quickly on the lake, catching up with the fleeing octopus in three steps and two steps. Wang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and pulled the octopus out of the lake.
The light gray color, the translucent material, the large number of tentacles covered with suckers, and the smoke-like gray mist rolling inside the bulging head make this octopus look weird no matter what.
Wang Yu looked at the two eyes on the octopus's head, which showed humanized fear and shock. It felt a bit familiar, and Wang Yu frowned.
At this moment, the golden shock wave spread here, and it seemed that something was sensed. A light golden glow spread out from the shock wave and poured into the gray octopus in Wang Yu's hand.
In an instant, the light gray octopus was dyed with golden light.
Both Father Fang and Aviya noticed Wang Yu standing within the confines of Aviya's castle. There was a hint of shock in Father Fang's eyes, while Aviya was a little surprised.
"Wang Yu, what's in your hand?" Aviya asked
"It's the Mind Flayer..." Father Fang answered first.
The octopus in Wang Yu's hand seemed to sense that it was being detected, and it struggled and twisted crazily.
Even a big mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly appeared on his smooth head and bit Wang Yu's hand.
However, Wang Yu was unscathed.
When he heard the name of the Mind Flayer, this guy's face darkened.
He pressed his hands on the octopus's head and continued to increase the strength. The octopus struggled wildly and roared.
The weird and sharp howling echoed in this space, making Aviya cover her ears in pain, while the priest frowned.
However, none of this could affect Wang Yu. His iron-like hands suppressed the octopus's head with increasing strength.
Ignore the sharp screams and the attacks on Wang Yu from the weird twisted sharp blades and fine serrations that the octopus continues to grow.
Wang Yu just increased the intensity, increased the intensity, and increased the intensity in silence.
The gray head was violently squeezed and shattered by Wang Yu, and a gelatinous gray translucent fluid flowed out and dripped from the damaged area.
The ruthless hands destroyed the mind flayer's body without any stagnation, and the violent power destroyed the evil creature bit by bit.
"Tsk, tsk!" As Wang Yu continued to intensify the destruction, the mind flayer's head exploded, and the weird light gray liquid splashed everywhere, dyeing the clear lake surface with a layer of gray. .
Unconsciously, the depth of the lake under Wang Yu's feet became deeper.
Wang Yu shook off the fragments in his hand, and a comfortable smile appeared on his gloomy face. This guy practiced what he said, as long as he saw the mind flayer, he would kill it.
"This..." The priest fell into thinking. After thinking for a while, he once again activated the same magic as before. This time, the golden shock wave swept across the surroundings, and nothing unusual appeared.
"It was indeed killed." Fang nodded. There was no more mind flayer in this space, and the previous one was actually killed.
Looking at Wang Yu who was standing in the castle talking to Aviya with some strange eyes, Father Fang felt a little strange.
"He walked directly into someone else's mental space, and even grabbed the Mind Flayer with his bare hands. Garcia, you are right. He is indeed a natural talent for the Blade of Night..." Father Fang thought.
"Okay, now that the Mind Flayer has been killed and there is no other one, we can exit the spiritual space." Father Fang shouted to the two people who were talking about the Mind Flayer.
Aviya and Wang Yu nodded and exited the spiritual space.
Her consciousness returned to reality and it felt good to have her body controlled again. Aviya felt that she was in a much better mood.
The weird sadness before has completely disappeared. It seems that he was affected by the mind flayer who was crushed to death by Wang Yu. What remains now is the little anger he had when he ran back.
"You won't have any problems after that, except maybe a few nightmares."
Father Fang took the meteor hammer back to his waist, told Aviya about the possible situation, and then turned his attention to Wang Yu.
"You should be going on an adventure in a year, right? Do you plan to go to the Royal City? Are you interested in joining our Night Blade?" Fang looked at Wang Yu with a smile.
"Yes, I will go out and explore the world in a year. I think I will definitely go to Wangcheng."
Wang Yu nodded. It should be more than ten months later, after completing his promise, he would go outside to take a look.
The world of dragons, elves, more magic, and fighting spirit is not small, and he wants to see it.
After hearing Wang Yu mention that he would set off in a year, somehow, Aviya's little anger before became a little stronger. It was not like anger, but it was strange and made the girl feel a little uncomfortable.
Lowering her eyes, Aviya didn't say anything.
"Can you introduce the Night Blade?" Wang Yu continued to ask.
Father Fang coughed and became serious, "We are the sharp blades in the dark night, killing the evil spirits peeping in the light, the beacon of the lonely sea, and the night watchmen of the world!"
After saying this passionately, Father Fang looked at Wang Yu, "What do you think?"
Wang Yu blinked, carefully sorted out what he saw and heard about the Blade of the Night, looked at Garcia, then looked at the priest carefully, and then rubbed his chin.
After making up his mind, Wang Yu said bluntly, "It's too empty. It doesn't mean anything to me. What about the treatment and the reward."
Wang Yu has always been a real person, and it can be said that he had no feelings at all when he heard these oath-like words spoken by the priest.
It's okay to shout this thing before a battle to boost morale, but it can really be used as a direction to fight for. Others don't know, but Wang Yu will definitely not accept this at all.
As for the moment of silence, Wang Yu carefully thought about whether to say it directly. He didn't know what the Blade of the Night was like.
Are you like those bosses in your previous life who like to listen to flattery and twists and turns? If you tell me directly, will you offend your boss, Father Fang?
Thinking about it carefully, it’s not the same world anymore. Is it necessary to lower your voice and shrink back? Is it fun to be a grandson? It’s not fun.
He had never been particularly cowardly in his previous life, and Wang Yu had no intention of being timid now. Being cautious was not for him here.
So Wang Yu said it bluntly, if it was a big deal, he wouldn't do anything. He was not a troubled person, he was a wandering knight.
He is free, the world is very big, and there are many places for him to wander.
"Hahaha, is that so?" Father Fang laughed out loud, while Garcia showed a helpless expression.
He didn't expect that Wang Yu would come out like this after thinking about it for a long time. Isn't it embarrassing? It's not really, it's just a bit weird.
Aviya was a little stunned. In his opinion, Father Fang's status was one point higher than that of the earl, but what was Wang Yu's attitude towards talking to others?
"Well, I do care about this."
Wang Yu nodded, he was indeed quite serious.
"The rewards and various privileges of Night Blade are very good, so I would say that relying on those oaths is of no use.
"An organization cannot be sustained by ideas alone. Only tangible things are the cornerstone of long-term existence."
Father Fang smiled happily, without the calmness of a priest, but gave Wang Yu a heroic feeling.
Wang Yu thought that he was a real person. The feeling that Father Fang gave him was that of reality. This can already explain a lot of problems.
So following this intuition and good impression, Wang Yu said it directly and didn't beat around the bush.
"Then let's be honest. The Imperial City Night Blade's monthly remuneration is between twenty and one hundred gold coins. Depending on the tasks completed, there will be far higher than usual rewards."
"At the same time, all major colleges and shops in the imperial city enjoy special rights. All Night Blade members theoretically have the power to ignore the law enforcement of the title."
"Of course you can figure this out on your own...how do you feel about it, are you satisfied?"
Wang Yu nodded, not that he was dissatisfied, he could be said to be overly satisfied with the job.
The last sentence reminded him to think about it for himself. It was too real. He could understand why Night Blade had such great influence and popular prestige. Two words, real.
With tangible benefits and correct ideas, how can these warriors who hold lanterns fighting in the dark not fight for this world?
"I'm so satisfied." Wang Yu stretched out his hand.
"Looking forward to your arrival." Father Fang held his palms together with Wang Yu's, and the two real people held their hands together under the dull eyes of Garcia and Aviya.
