Liao Ji looked down at Ba'er, who had returned to the "high priest" appearance in his hands. After placing him on the ground, Ba'er coughed violently. His whole body was corroded by black mud. It was like the last flash of light. He slowly opened his eyes. Eyes opened.
He can actually use the black mud in his body to continuously resurrect, just like he did when he fought against Long Niang, but this time Baer obviously did not do so, and he chose to give up.
Because Baer only has infinite jealousy in his heart towards Dragon Niang, which he can vent through fighting again and again.
But for Lord Ashes, Baer can't do it. He can't fight Liao Ji as an enemy again and again. Or maybe his original purpose is to be defeated by Lord Ashes himself. This is the best for him. Is it the end?
After all, at least during the battle just now, Lord Ashes belonged to him alone. All of Lord Ashes’ attention was on him. Lord Ashes was taking a good look at him, even though he was beyond recognition and ugly. he.
This time.
It should be considered that he won the "favor" from the dragon girl, right?
Thinking of this, Baer couldn't help but use his last bit of strength to ask Liao Ji: "So, Lord Ashes, you brought Jiuyou to the southern border for me?"
After all, in Baer's view, it is also the plan and calculation of the Old Alliance. Even if Lord Ashes really comes back, the simplest and most effective way for him to change the current situation of the Dragon Kingdom is to directly borrow the "Empress" of the Dragon Girl. identity, replace all the corrupt senior officials of Dragon Kingdom, and introduce various new policies at the same time.
Instead of letting the power of the "Empress" go unused like now, the dragon girl was disguised as an ordinary guard and came to the southern border of the demi-humans together. It seemed that she was going to start from the bottom of the revolutionary army.
The only reason Baer could think of for Lord Ashes to do this seemed to be that Lord Ashes wanted to bring Jiuyou to see him, and Lord Ashes wanted to come over to convince him.
It's a pity that Liao Ji's answer later made Baer a little stunned.
Because what he got was the most incredible answer.
The young man sighed and shrugged helplessly. After passing the elf's knee pillow and releasing the pressure, Liao Ji felt that the "idol burden" was not that heavy anymore, so he said truthfully:
"No, it's actually because I don't have the political ability, and I don't have much experience in governing the country. Even if you really ask me to radically reform the Dragon Kingdom, it will probably only become more chaotic."
Baer's eyes widened. He tried to read the joke on Liao Ji's face, but unfortunately, Liao Ji was very serious. When he realized that Master Ashes was not teasing him, Baer was shocked at first, because in his impression , Lord Ashes is omnipotent, nothing can stump Lord Ashes.
But soon, this shocked expression turned into a smile. It was not a mockery. How could he be qualified to laugh? It was more like a kind of relief.
Baer stared at the sky.
It turns out that Lord Ashes is not perfect. There are things that Lord Ashes cannot do.
Indeed it is.
That's why Lord Ashes needs them, right?
Thinking of this, when Baer turned his attention to the red lotus wings behind Liao Ji, there was no longer any jealousy, only a pure yearning.
Looking at the wings full of power, with the coercion and domineering brought by the dragon bloodline, and finally the rolling flames, everything is so perfect, is it the Red Lotus Wings that many people dream of?
really
Even after being "objectified", she is still so beautiful.
Baer, whose vitality was rapidly draining, suddenly felt a curiosity in his heart. This curiosity became stronger and stronger, and soon turned into a desire. Even when he was dying, his spirit was no longer sluggish, but was invigorated. point.
because
Baer wanted to know before leaving, what about himself?
How will he be "materialized" in the hands of Lord Ashes?
Although Baer could already guess the result.
A person like him who has sinned deeply and has lost himself may only end up with something ugly and disgusting.
But Baer still had a little hope in his heart.
What if.
It was this "what if" that turned into a strong emotion that made Baer reach out and grab the corner of Liao Ji's clothes, casting a longing look at Liao Ji. If he could turn into someone of Lord Ashes before he died, As a prop, if he stays with Lord Ashes all the time, this destination can be considered his final atonement, right?
After understanding the meaning in Baer's eyes, Liao Ji did not refuse.
He put his hand on Ba'er's chest, and activated the ability of the Touch of Evil again. Just like the previous times, the Touch of Evil linked himself to Ba'er, allowing him to enter the deepest part of Ba'er's heart. .
But it's different from the previous times.
Liao Ji looked at the dark and empty heart, where there was nothing left except filth and black mud.
This means that in fact, Baer has died a long time ago. The reason why he can survive until now is because his whole body has been transformed into a monster of evil. Although he still looks like a human, his body is actually full of black mud, and all his organs have been damaged. There was nothing left, it was all black mud that kept him alive.
The premise for the "materialization" of Zhuoe's touch is that the opponent's identity must be a curser, a living being that can coexist with Zhuoe, instead of being completely reduced to a zombie who wears the skin of a living being but is actually just a walking corpse. monster.
To put it in simpler terms, it is.
Baer is not even qualified to be "materialized" by the touch of evil.
No matter how hard Liao Ji tried to activate, there was still no response to the touch of misfortune, and he seemed to have noticed something. I saw the expression on Baer's face. From the very beginning, Liao Ji put his hand up. I was excited at the moment, then became extremely hopeful later, and finally found that after several seconds, there was no movement. The expectant expression on Baer's face gradually faded and turned into puzzlement.
Why?
Why is it so slow?
He had seen Liao Ji release the Touch of Disaster on Dragon Girl before. In just a few seconds, Dragon Girl transformed into the incomparably beautiful red lotus wings behind Lord Ashes.
But why was there no movement when we arrived at his place?
Could it be that Lord Ashes didn't want to take it out because the "objectified" appearance he saw was too ugly?
No, not possible.
Lord Ashes is definitely not such a person.
So, does the problem lie with him?
Could it be that he, Lian...
Just before Baer thought of the fact that made him feel desperate and unacceptable, Liao Ji's palm, which had always been dim, suddenly became brighter, covering Baer's entire field of vision. When Baer came back to his senses, hour
A small flower appeared in Liao Ji's hand, as if it had just been taken out of his "body".
There is nothing special about the little flower, just like a wild flower that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
"This is this?"
"It seems that you are very special, Baer."
"So this is me...my heart?"
"Yes."
"Is it, is it beautiful?"
"It's beautiful."
"That's it"
In fact, Baer's sanity has been running out for a long time, otherwise he would have discovered the simplest loophole. If this flower was really his "materialization", then his body would have disappeared long ago.
But precisely because he was unaware of this lie, Baer would still use the last bit of strength in his life to stare at the flower in Liao Ji's hands, even if his body began to collapse and the filthy black mud turned into black. The fog evaporated into the air, and Baer's vision became increasingly blurry, but his eyes never left this flower, a flower that could be praised by Lord Ashes.
Because this undoubtedly proves that even though he may be ugly in appearance and has been led astray, at least in the end he is still beautiful in his heart.
Just like this flower.
"thank you"
"Lord Ashes."
After leaving these last words, Baer closed his eyes. His decaying body, which had been lingering on the black mud for hundreds of years, finally found peace at this moment and turned into smoke and dust in the wind.
finished?
it's over.
