puff...
"Cough, cough, cough..." Shirley coughed violently.
Everyone's eyes immediately looked at him mechanically, because their minds went blank due to Liao Zixuan's words, and they only followed their instincts, causing Shirley to wave her hands repeatedly.
After taking a few seconds to digest it, Vivian continued:
"You, are you also a demon..."
Liao Zixuan nodded, and then said again before Vivian asked:
"Your Xiao Hei has been practicing with me during this period. He is now at a critical juncture, so he cannot help you, but he really can't worry about you. As an elder, what can I say, so I have to take action myself? .”
After these words, the little girl suddenly realized that everything seemed to be explained, why she had the same feelings for the young man as Xiao Hei, and why the young man could withstand Alina's bombardment and still remain unharmed.
Even the way to summon Xiao Hei on the spot for verification was blocked, because it was at a "critical moment", and given how much Vivian valued Xiao Hei, she definitely did not dare to take this risk.
Even if there was still a little sense of disobedience, it was drowned out by the tension of "meeting the parents."
"Well, I...Xiao Hei...that's...what..."
Vivian was in a state of confusion, and when she remembered that she had scolded him just now, she blushed so much that she was so embarrassed and nervous that she couldn't even speak.
As for Liao Zixuan, who was quite guilty to begin with, he naturally would not discuss this topic too much and hurriedly brought the conversation back to normal.
"Let's put aside the matter about Xiao Hei and let's talk about your friend."
Following Liao Zixuan's words, not only Vivian but also Liz came to her senses and turned their attention to the maid in "standby".
Vulcan has already explained the status of the maid just now. If Liao Zixuan explains it again from the perspective of a "player", the maid now seems to have been transformed from a hostile NPC into a neutral wild monster by Vulcan.
Neutral wild monsters, as the name suggests, have no subjective consciousness and do not belong to any camp. They will only move within the specified range and independently attack all creatures that enter the range.
Completely in line with the current Alina.
"Master Vulcan said, can you find a way to help her get rid of her current situation..." Vivian asked hopefully.
"Indeed." Liao Zixuan nodded.
"But to be precise, the key person is not me, but...her."
After the "she" in Liao Zixuan's mouth was pointed out, he immediately showed confusion.
Liz couldn't understand how she became the key person.
"Have you forgotten, the special ability that belongs only to your blood clan?" Liao Zixuan reminded.
"You mean..."
At this moment, Liz seemed to suddenly understand, and she immediately blurted out two words.
"Family!?"
"That's right, your friend's consciousness has been controlled and hypnotized by others. Alice only cuts off her connection with the controller, but it does not relieve her hypnosis."
"So, the only feasible way is to turn her into your dependent, and let you become her new controller, overwriting the original hypnotic state. In this way, as long as you don't take the initiative to control her, it is almost as if she has returned. It’s back to normal.”
Liao Zixuan explained the concept of "neutral monsters" in a way that the indigenous people can understand.
Also, he told them how to turn neutral wild monsters into one of their own.
In fact, in player terms, in layman's terms, it means catching babies.
But usually, the "babies" you can catch are only monsters. No player can catch NPCs as babies. The same goes for Vivian, a summoner. Her skills will only take effect on monsters.
But there happens to be a big change here.
"I...can I really do it?" Liz said a little unconfidently.
Firstly, she has just inherited the bloodline and is not familiar with anything. Secondly, judging from the strength Alina showed just now, even Bai can fly away, which shows that she is far superior to her.
Can a vampire really be so powerful by turning an object whose strength is much higher than his own into his own?
"Of course it's impossible for ordinary Vampires. The target must be lower in strength than the Vampire itself. Some have to be several levels lower, and the success rate is not high."
"But you are different, Liz." Liao Zixuan looked into the girl's eyes.
"Although I don't know your mother's true level, from the fact that you can absorb my blood, there is no doubt that you are... very noble."
The girl's face turned red. She didn't expect that Liao Zixuan would look so serious and speak so openly in front of everyone.
Of course, Liz quickly straightened her expression and figured out priorities. Although her relationship with Alina was not as close as best friends like Vivian, she still had a lot of affection for this quirky little maid. .
What's more, Alina became what she is now because of her "father". As the earl's daughter, she has the obligation to shoulder this responsibility.
"Okay, I understand, what's next is..."
After Liz nodded, a new question arose again, how to implement it.
The most direct and effective way for a vampire to turn an object into a dependent is to bite the neck, and this means that unless the other party is willing, the only way to achieve the above is to rely on the "capture" method. way.
Even if it is not to say that it is a complete capture, it must at least be able to restrict the opponent's movements in a short period of time, so that the opponent cannot struggle, loses aggressiveness, and can only be bitten.
For a maid in the "neutral wild monster" state, it is obvious that the "voluntary" path is unavailable, and she can only rely on force.
This.
In fact, it was a conspiracy deliberately set by Vulcan Alice.
To sum it up simply in one sentence...
He can't even defeat him, let alone a "captive" who is several times more difficult to "defeat".
Alice deliberately adjusted the maid's strength to the delicate realm of "half-step epic", which is around level 45. Among everyone present, only Shirley crossed the level 30 mark and reached below the epic level. The extraordinary level.
As for Vivian and Liao Zixuan, one reason is because of their profession. Summoner is an ordinary profession, and the upper limit is level 30. There is no way to increase it. If you want to advance to extraordinary, you must either change professions or find someone high in the "Summoner" profession tree. step form.
Liao Zixuan is also similar to the little girl, his level is stuck at level 30.
Although they all have combat prowess that far exceeds that of the same level, they are not exaggerated to the point of being able to surpass more than ten levels. What's more, the maid is not currently level 45, but can be regarded as a boss level 45 at least.
The profession "Witch of Reason" is no joke. Anyone with the word "Witch" will have the same combat power across levels.
Liao Zixuan, Shirley, and Vivian tried together several times.
As a result, even if the three of them joined forces, there was nothing they could do to Alina.
A large part of the reason for this is that Shirley and Vivian are both violent output types, while Liao Zixuan tends to be rough-skinned and thick-skinned. None of the three has outstanding control capabilities.
He couldn't beat the maid, and he was restrained. He was afraid of really hurting Alina, so he put the cart before the horse.
After working hard for a long time, she finally retreated out of breath and lost her target. After that, Alina returned to the original place and continued in the "standby" state.
no doubt.
In the terminology of the game, it is a "stuck boss".
If you want to conquer it, you have to make changes.
And this path of change is exactly what Vulcan Alice hopes to see.
Right now...
Use the witch to defeat the witch.
"This can't go on like this." Liao Zixuan knew Alice's purpose in his heart. After sighing secretly, he decided not to waste time anymore.
"Vivian, Xiao Hei once told me that you have encountered a witch's clone?"
"Huh? The witch's... clone?"
Vivian, who was originally dejected, feeling that her own strength was still too weak and could not do anything, showed a strange expression after Liao Zixuan's words.
After recalling it for a moment, she nodded immediately.
"You mean...Bishop Eugenia?"
"Yes, her real name is Bella. She should have told you that after I liberated her from the erosion of the Fallen Abyss, she mentioned you to me and gave me this."
As Liao Zixuan spoke, he took out a long-dormant job change item from his backpack.
"This is..." Vivian frowned subconsciously.
Because what appeared in Liao Zixuan's hand was a box exuding a strange purple light.
Vivian felt an aura from above. It couldn't be called evil, but it definitely couldn't be called "normal", which made her feel a little uncomfortable instinctively.
"We generally call it the witch's seed." Liao Zixuan's voice explained.
"Witch's seed?"
"To put it simply, it is the inheritance of the witch. It is similar to Liz's blood inheritance. After people who meet the conditions of the witch absorb it, they can gain the power of the witch and transform into... a witch."
After Liao Zixuan's words, Liz was the first to react.
The eldest lady said anxiously:
"Wait a minute, Bai, you don't want... to let Vivian absorb this kind of thing!"
Liao Zixuan didn't speak, but it was self-evident.
Shirley who was present already belonged to the Fallen Abyss, and the girl herself was a vampire. If the only one who was still blank, Vivian was the only one left.
"You, how could you do this! That's a witch... a witch!" Liz became angry towards Liao Zixuan for the first time.
Even though Yanyu has been under the protection of the God of Fire and has never been attacked by witches for thousands of years, there are still countless terrifying introductions about witches in textbooks and various classics.
They are insidious, cunning, and do all kinds of evil. Each witch has an ever-changing personality. The only constant is that they are all very dark. They have great power, but they don't use it in the right way. They think about how to create chaos every day.
The above is Liz, and it is also the common concept of "witch" among people in the nine countries of the continent.
Because of this, how could Liz let her best friend watch Vivian become... a witch?
But obviously this matter is not up to her to decide.
Well...
You can't say that either.
Because in the follow-up, as Liao Zixuan said at the beginning, Liz is the "key" person, and she cannot be separated from any link.
"Excuse me...Master Bai, if I use this...witch seed, will my original summoner profession be changed?"
"Then if that's the case, Xiao...Xiao Hei..."
Vivian asked her most concerned question.
Liao Zixuan shook his head and said in a reassured tone:
"Once you become a witch, your career as a summoner will naturally not be retained, but as far as I know, every witch will have a special ability that is unique to her when she awakens."
"The Bella you met before, her witch name was Thousand Faces, which corresponds to her power of clones, and the witch name copied on her now is the Witch of Reason, which corresponds to her The ability to understand all things and construct all things.”
"This is what we call the power of witches, the power of witches. They are unique in the world."
After Liao Zixuan spoke, Vivian showed an expression that seemed to understand. Just as she was about to ask a question, Liao Zixuan gave her a look and stopped her because the key point he wanted to say was later.
"If the ability mentioned above is passively awakened, there is no way to choose. It is highly random. But if it is actively awakened, you can choose it yourself."
"In other words, if you want to retain your summoner's contract ability, you only need to firmly believe in it when the time comes. Then the witch ability you are born will also correspond to it, which may be similar to... the summoned witch ?”
What Liao Zixuan said was partly based on the job transfer introduction on "Witch's Seed", which only appeared after Vulcan told him the true use of Witch's Seed.
The other part is also based on his previous life experience.
Liao Zixuan mentioned before that he knew a certain female player who changed her profession to a "witch". Although they were not very familiar with her, he had inquired about it and she told him that the nature of the witch profession was different from other high-level professions. , in fact, it is not coverage, but enhancement, strengthening your existing occupation or skills.
Under double protection, if you include the God of Fire, it would be triple protection. Only under this condition did Liao Zixuan dare to take out the witch's seed and ask the little girl if she wanted to use it.
as expected.
When she heard that becoming a witch would not affect her bond and contract with Xiao Hei, Vivian did not hesitate and gave up her final worries.
To the little girl, being a witch is not important. What is important is that she can use this power to save her important people.
As early as when she faced the Vulcan Cult, Vivian had said something similar, and it was this state of mind that was taken seriously by the witch Bella at that time.
"Then let's start now, me, what should I do?"
Vivian didn't want to wait any longer, but what she didn't expect was that Liao Zixuan still shook his head.
"Have you forgotten? What I said is that only those who meet the requirements can become a witch after absorbing them. You don't meet the requirements now."
"What qualifies as qualified?" Liz, who was listening in, couldn't help but speak. The girl had a vague hunch in her heart that this was the real highlight.
Next, Liz’s hunch was not wrong.
The witch's seed needs to absorb other people's negative emotions before it can be activated, and the current Vivian is far from that.
It stands to reason that absorbing negative emotions will be a long process, not to mention such a little girl who treats everyone with tenderness.
Maybe this is fate.
Vulcan knew, and Liao Zixuan also knew that right now, there was an excellent opportunity for Vivian to absorb countless negative emotions from others in an instant.
This method is...
"Witch, as the chosen one, you must be feared and feared by everyone to be considered qualified. To achieve this, Vivian, you only need to do one thing now."
Liao Zixuan sighed.
"Wha...what?" The little girl clenched her fists nervously.
Until Liao Zixuan slowly said:
"Be responsible for the count's death."
