"null!"
The black knight looked at the giant eagle flying from a distance and took a step forward. The thick black armor made a sound of collision.
The strength of such a huge monster is definitely not that bad, at least it is the peak of a high-level official knight. As a guard, he must ensure that the giant eagle flying towards the Wizard Tower will not cause harm to the Cursed Wizard Tower. .
However, the giant eagle turned back after approaching a certain range of the Cursor Wizard Tower, and two figures fell from the back of the giant eagle.
The airflow gathered and turned into a buffering force, allowing Wang Yu, who jumped from the high altitude with Aviya in his arms, to land smoothly and run towards the wizard tower without stopping.
"We are here to see the wizard Lilia Swain. I am her niece, Aviya Dove. Please send a message for us!"
The girl's words were amplified by magic and conveyed in the direction of the wizard's tower, where they were captured by the black knight.
"Hum, hum..."
There was an unknown sound under the dark armor. The black knight raised his armor-covered arm and pointed his palm at Wang Yu, who was charging towards him, signaling him to stop, while he nodded to indicate that he understood.
If the person who comes here doesn't come with bad intentions, then just do what he should do.
Wang Yu and Aviya stopped after the black knight made a gesture. The devil stuck the time very hard. Thirteen days have passed out of fifteen days. This is because Angola, the giant eagle, has not stopped with its talent. Under the premise of flying.
There is really no need to cause conflicts out of haste now. The preparations that need to be made are already in place when we are on the back of the giant eagle.
The black knight turned around and walked into the wizard tower. He was not worried that the two men would force their way in. After all, the wizard tower itself was the most powerful defense.
"Huh, huh, um..."
The black knight grabbed a wizard who was rushing by and made a dull sound. Everyone in the wizard's tower seemed to understand what these syllables meant.
"Someone is coming to visit? But it happens to be an emergency right now. Wait, it's Wizard Lilia they are looking for? If I remember correctly, she does have a niece named Ivia Dove. Come at this time? I Go talk to her."
The captured wizard looked embarrassed at first and was obviously planning to refuse, but when he heard who the visitor was looking for, he thought about it and ran upstairs quickly.
At this moment, Lilia was mobilizing the void power with a very expression on her face to detect the space in the room that was like a starry sky in the universe. Once the void energy that was supposed to obey her steps into this "virtual well" centered on her sister, He will lose control very quickly and cannot be controlled by her.
The faces of the three men in suits and ties standing next to Mira could not be seen clearly. From time to time, the inflammatory and mocking words coming out of their mouths made Lilia feel an unknown fire burning in her chest.
"Compared to us, what humans can do in the void is still too small after all. Hahaha, seeing you trying so hard to borrow the power of the void, but being ruthlessly rejected, I just want to laugh so hard. I suggest you don’t waste your efforts.”
One of the devils took off his hat from his head and waved it at Lilia, laughingly mocking the other party's ugly appearance that the void energy had no effect within the range of the "Void Well".
"What the hell are you guys..."
Mira frowned tightly and asked coldly. She was not the only wizard analyzing this unprecedented "virtual well".
Members of the surrounding Cursebinder Wizard Tower are trying to analyze and influence this stable and weird "virtual well", but there has been no substantial progress in the fields they are good at.
"You must have made some mental guesses. Although it is hard to accept, we are the devils in your mouth. In your opinion, it is incredible that three devils gather together, but there is no way. This matter It’s just so much fun.”
"Let me think about it, how do you say "four"? Ah, you are her sister, Lilia Swain, right? Well, it feels very powerless to just watch, right? It's great!"
"But, our target is not you. Just wait quietly. Yes, just watch. You can't do anything anyway."
The devil said with a smile, and these words pierced Lilia's heart like a sharp knife. She knew that wizards like them were in an absolutely weak position when facing an existence like the devil.
They are the true darlings of the void. The so-called mobilization of void energy by wizards is, in the eyes of these devils, just as simple as breathing. Trying to use the power of wizards to deal with devils is almost impossible.
"..., Garcia, chop him with a knife."
Lilia was silent for a few seconds, then patted Garcia next to her, signaling the other person to use her fighting spirit to directly destroy the space.
"boom!"
Fighting energy circulated around the body and gathered into the long sword, the actual weapon used in combat. The soles of his feet touched the ground, cracking the bricks and stones. With the help of his strength, he slashed fiercely. A huge fighting spirit blade was thrown in by Garcia who did not hesitate to take action. into Lilia's room.
"puff…"
There was a sound that seemed to be absent. When the fighting spirit blade penetrated into the room, it seemed to have passed through a thin film. After passing through, the originally solid and sharp fighting spirit blade gradually became transparent. It did not fly a few meters away, and did not even fly. Things in the house disappeared into the air as soon as they touched them.
"Oh, this is too careless. Aren't you afraid of hurting Miss Lilia's sister? Quick, push her in a little. It's really rough."
Devil "Five" made a panicked look, patted the other devil next to him, and asked the other person to push the rocking chair that Mira was sitting on with her head lowered, and leaned closer to the inside of the room, as if she was really worried about that. It was impossible for Mira's fighting spirit blade to hurt the opponent.
"Damn it, why did these devils come here? How did Mira get connected with them? Why didn't you tell me? No, if it's a devil, I'm afraid I can't even tell you."
Lilia's mood became more powerless than anger. This "virtual well" has reached the final stage and can almost be seen as a portal to the void. Any attack from the material world, just like Garcia's After entering the fighting spirit blade, it will quickly fall into the void and be directly ineffective.
The existence of these devils directly caused the void to reject the wizards present. It was difficult for them to use witchcraft to interfere with Mira and the three devils in the void well. As the devil "Five" said, the only thing they could do was really Watch.
No one can blame them for their powerlessness. The three devils gathered together. After all, the devil is still close to the legend, and only one of them may cause huge events. Perhaps, the powerlessness at this moment can only be attributed to bad luck. .
"Damn..."
Lilia's usual joking has long since faded away. Few people know the situation better than her as a great wizard. The point of breaking the situation cannot be found unless a miracle comes, but this thing is very important to wizards who do not believe in gods. To be honest, you may not see it once in your lifetime.
"We can't give up. How can we give up? These devils are definitely not here just for fun. We must find out what they want to do."
Smashing her fist hard on her forehead, Lilia forced herself to calm down her chaotic mind. The wizard's method was unlikely to be effective, so she could only use the simplest method, negotiation...
"Wizard Lilia, someone is looking for you... and says she is your niece."
When Lilia wanted to start a conversation with those devils, the wizard who ran up to her to deliver a message arrived.
"Huh?! Aviya?"
Lilia's thoughts were focused on Xujing and the devil in front of her. She didn't even think about it when someone came to talk to her, but the word "niece" turned her attention away.
"Come here at this time, and there are these devils who suddenly appear...Garcia, go and bring Aviya here."
Lilia immediately connected the shocking change in Mira with the sudden arrival of Aviya, and she did not hesitate to let Garcia take the people. No matter what Aviya was here for, the powerless scene at the moment required a variable.
Garcia's body turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the wizard tower. When he stepped out of the door and saw Wang Yu and Aviya, the other party immediately shouted, "Wang Yu, Aviya, come!"
"boom!"
Holding the girl in his arms and receiving permission to enter, Wang Yu ran at full speed in the direction of the Cursor Wizard Tower, followed Garcia's steps all the way up, and arrived at the door of Lilia's room where Xujing appeared.
"Oh... you came in time. It seems that you are very sincere. I should also be more frank and honest."
The words of Devil "Five" had already sounded when Wang Yu and Aviya had just arrived here, without even talking to Lilia.
"Tell me what you want."
Wang Yu asked the three devils in the room indifferently, straightforwardly, just like the "integrity and frankness" the other party said.
"Oh, don't make us look like some very bad existence. In a sense, we are just here to fulfill the contract. The person who breaks the contract might also be your mother, right?"
"Five" clapped his hands, and after defending his "reputation" for a while, he turned the conversation to Aviya.
"What do you want, how can you release my mother?"
Aviya didn't mean to answer the devil's words, she just asked.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you can only watch anyway, right?"
Responding with a nasty sneer has nothing to do with the honesty and sincerity of what the other person said.
"This is the contract signed between me and your ancestors. It resides in the souls of your family members, providing them and their next generation with additional void affinity, allowing the "key" left by Roland to choose them."
"The dual void talent blessings of the devil and the key are enough to make every generation of the Dove family have extremely strong wizard talent. Even being promoted to legend is not impossible. You must know the history of your own family. Once upon a time, the Dove family He is also a member of the kingdom’s power center.”
Next to "Five", the devil called "Four" walked to Mira's side and took out a parchment-like thing from the void behind him. It was obvious that it was the contract that the other party said. .
"Then what's the price? I guess the devil isn't so kind, right?"
Wang Yu asked indifferently.
"Hehehe, you disgusting guy asked a useful question. Yes, the price is very simple. After death, their souls will belong to me, their void affinity, their memories, everything. It will be mine.”
"Four" made a sharp sneer, telling the other side of this contract besides the benefits.
Like other devils, Devil "Four" has an ability that is unique to him, the "contract". When both parties reach an agreement, they can directly borrow the power of the void to sign a contract. This contract will be under the constraints of the void for a long time. passed down.
In fact, the descriptions of the devil in unofficial histories, "playing with people's hearts, using contracts full of traps, and setting traps that make people unable to recover" are only one-sided descriptions of what the Devil "Four" has done.
"It's impossible. Our family's wizarding talent was no longer that powerful a few generations ago. According to you, our talent should be getting stronger and stronger."
Lilia interrupted the other party angrily and pointed out the errors in the other party's words.
"Ah...you can't blame me. Just like you didn't inherit "me" and the key like your sister Mira, it's just luck and a self-inflicted problem."
"Although it is not a breach of contract, it is someone in your family who thinks that this contract is unfair and wants to cut off the connection with Void. This has caused the Void talents of subsequent heirs to decline drastically."
"Alas, what a stupid attempt it is to cut off the connection with the void. The useless resistance not only failed to free you from the contract, but on the contrary, you no longer have enough wizard talent while you are alive."
"Four" said casually, very satisfied with Lilia's anger.
"She is the same, but it's not against herself. She tried her best to help her heir escape the shackles of the devil. Oh, my God, do you know what she did?"
Devil "Four" pointed to Mira next to him, pretending to be in a tone of voice.
"Sacrificing half of my soul to find an evil god to try to kill me is too crazy, but it's true that she succeeded in part, hahaha, otherwise I wouldn't be still in this rotten state now. Not in the skin, but in the body of her daughter.”
"And that key was also separated from me by her. Where is it with you now, right...? That should also belong to me."
The devil stared at Aviya and told what Mira, the mother, had done for Aviya.
Her eyes trembled, and recalling what had happened to her, Aviya realized that her mother's figure seemed to appear in many more places than she remembered since she had grown up.
"Humph, but it's not that there is no gain. The damaged soul has made room for me... Come, Ms. Mira, look at your daughter, Miss Aviya. See you again. I don't know how much I have done for you. Work hard, mother."
With a snap of his fingers, the figure of Devil "Four" suddenly disappeared, while Mira, who had been sitting in the rocking chair with her head lowered, raised her head and looked around with some confusion and eagerness.
"Aiweiya...?!"
The other party saw Aviya standing outside the door at first sight. After muttering something, his expression suddenly changed. A fireball appeared in the palm of his left hand and he pressed it against his head.
"Well, when you were in that manor, you thought about committing suicide to keep your daughter away from you. Did you do it? You are even weaker now than you were before. I already have most of the control of this body. Are you still thinking about committing suicide to prevent being used to threaten your daughter?"
He stretched out his right hand and grabbed his left hand, and the fireball on it disappeared.
"Mira" showed a weird smile, talking to herself, mocking Mira's ineffective efforts.
The smile that Aviya looked at her "mother" at this moment was exactly the same as the expression she saw on her mother when she returned to the house after chatting with Wang Yu who was about to leave for the royal city in the manor.
From that moment on... no wonder I had to leave with Wang Yu.
"It's such a touching emotion. So let's talk about how we can reunite you. Although I still want to see your helpless appearance again, I still need something more tangible."
Devil "Five" stopped talking and finally revealed their ultimate purpose.
"I need you, Miss Aviya, to sign a new contract with "Four". This contract is for you, not your family."
"You, who successfully escaped from the scope of the contract through the efforts of your mother, have an affinity for the void that is beyond our expectations. To be honest, "Four" said at the beginning that this power could not be yours, but I didn’t expect that this affinity really belongs to you.”
"This talent is too tempting. This world is so unfair. How can a human being have such a powerful void talent? Even if it is enhanced by the key, to reach this level, the base of the void is already Strong enough."
"We want your talent, or void affinity. After your death, your soul will belong to us. Of course, during your lifetime, you can go your own way and embark on a legend that you will definitely have a chance to achieve."
"It's just that we can't break this contract. We will add more restrictions to this new contract, and we won't take advantage of the loopholes like the immature "Four" at the beginning."
"How about living a wonderful life, and then handing over something that has no meaning after death that will disappear."
Devil "Five" finished saying what he wanted and looked at Aviya, waiting for the girl to respond.
He was not in a hurry. Judging from the description of this affectionate girl he got from "Four", the other party would never give up on Mira's only remaining close relative in this world.
Whether he signs a contract or not, he doesn't care very much. Anyway, after signing the contract, the other party will definitely enter this space controlled by the three devils, and then directly drag the girl and her mother into the void. That’s it.
Even if the other party unexpectedly refuses to accept the threat, it's okay, then just swallow Mira's soul completely, although it will have to wait until Mira's body dies naturally.
The contract signed by the ability of "four" still has a very small part of the protection of the people of the Swain family. After Mira's death, the contract will also be separated because of Aviya herself. Destroyed from generation to generation.
The devils who have completely devoured Mira's soul and obtained more information about Aviya will have sufficient time and opportunity to seize Aviya's void affinity by virtue of their endless lifespan and a certain degree of immortality.
With an attitude of appreciating his trophies, the devil looked at the silent Aviya. He was amazed by the aura that represented the affinity of the void exuding from her body.
The girl's soul is really the most dazzling one among the countless randomly born souls in this world itself. Compared with the souls of those great beings seen in history, it can only be said to be on par with it.
This soul will eventually belong to them, the devils, and their plans are inherently without any risk or possibility of failure.
Either in order to save her mother, she was dragged into the void when she signed the contract, or she watched her mother being dragged into the void and felt the pain of losing her only close relative, and then Mira's devoured soul would become an aid to the subsequent plans for the girl.
Something else? No, this is the devil, smiling and playing with the material world that they have almost no control over.
"boom!"
Then he heard an explosion, and a figure suddenly rushed into the house. It was the knight named Wang Yu.
This guy looked absolutely disgusting to Devil "Five". He didn't know what the situation was, but under his observation, he was just like those soulless mechanical golems.
The power swept across the space that was already bordering the void, dragging the incoming knight into the void in an instant. Devil "Five" looked at Wang Yu who rushed in with a smile.
It's a stupid attempt. Without a soul, it cannot be eroded by the chaos of the void. It doesn't matter. A purely material existence like this cannot even touch them.
"Snapped!"
However, in his eyes, the existence that he could not even touch them pressed down on Mira, who had almost completely integrated into the void, and truly touched these existences that only belonged to the void.
"Um!?"
Incomprehensible shock appeared in the hearts of the three devils at the same time. Of course, this shock also appeared in the hearts of the members of the outside world who had just realized what happened.
What did they see? A guy rushed directly into the void, and then, after completely integrating into the void, he touched things in the void with his physical body! ?
The many conversations with the devil just now were just to collect more information. No matter how many twists and turns the devil made, no matter what trap they set up, what he had to do was the same.
He would not make the slightest compromise or accept any threats. He could not confirm whether doing so would fail to save Aviya's mother, but it was definitely much better than being constrained and having more taken away by the devil.
In the final analysis, it is still a lack of ability, so this is the only solution for Aviya and him to deal with all the devil's strategies.
Rush into the void, beat these damn devils to death with the things they prepared, and try to save Mira as much as possible. Even if you fail after trying your best, there will be no regrets.
The power of the chariot stretched out, grabbing Mira's body and the other two unresponsive devils at the same time. Wang Yu dragged them, directly through the passage opened by the virtual well, and smashed into the void.
A single soldier breaks in!
