After opening the door, Eluma ran over and almost bumped into Zhou Li. After forcibly braking, Eluma approached Zhou Li and said to him excitedly: "Zhou Li, Zhou Li, Zhou Li, Azi and the others are coming back."
"oh?"
Zhou Li handed the clothes to Eluma and asked curiously: "Did they hand over the clothes so quickly?"
"Well, I heard from Azi and the others that a missionary from the Literary Church in another place has returned. With the missionary's help, the financial handover was completed in one day."
Zhou Li was startled for a moment. He put the hat on the hanger and continued to ask: "The missionary of the Literary Church? Who is it?"
"It seems...well...it seems to be a man named Adam. I heard that he used to teach at Magnum University. He rushed back to Jordan overnight after hearing about the drastic changes in Jordan."
No wonder.
After hearing this name, Zhou Li suddenly realized. The name Adam may not be famous now, but he knows that in twelve years, the man with this name will write a masterpiece that is enough to change most countries-"The Wealth of Nations".
If Zhou Li hadn't met Adam before and tested him secretly several times, he would have even thought that this genius came from the earth like himself, but the time might be a little strange.
"Good thing, you might as well come back soon."
Walking to the living room, Zhou Li slumped on the sofa without any image. He looked at Eluma beside him and said lazily: "Queen Xiao Ai, your subjects are hungry, would you consider giving me a bite to eat? "
"Hey hey hey~~"
Hearing Zhou Li's flattery without any real feelings, Eluma smiled stupidly. She stretched out her hand to wipe her small nose, then pinched her waist with one hand and looked at Zhou Li with a cute little pride. Li said: "Come here, I invite you to have a meal with me, you are not allowed to refuse!"
"Okay, okay."
With a slight smile on Zhou Li's face, he stood up and followed Eluma to the restaurant unsteadily.
“Newly learned, barbecued pork rice!”
She took two plates of ruddy barbecued pork rice bowl from the insulator on the side. Eluma placed one of them in front of Zhou Li, then sat next to Zhou Li and said with a smile: "I saw the oriental recipe I bought yesterday. I’ve been wanting to make this rice for you since I took the picture, please try it quickly.”
"Thank you Queen for the reward."
Zhou Li first pretended to pray, and then at the urging of Eluma, whose ears were red, he picked up a fork and stuffed the barbecued pork with soup into his mouth. After chewing for a moment, he slowly stretched out his hand under the gaze of Eluma, who was holding her chin up and smiling.
Showed a thumbs up.
"Hey, I just said I'm a genius!"
At this moment, Black Queen Eluma raised her little head proudly, her graceful jawline was as beautiful as a work of art, "I just read the cover-up a few times, and I read the book twice, three, or six times at most! I will copy it." For making such delicious barbecued pork, I...your queen, am I very powerful?"
"Yes, yes, the Queen is the most powerful."
Zhou Li smiled and continued to eat the food in front of him, a look of relief flashed across his lowered face. After losing the power of the Black Emperor, he realized how much the Black Emperor had subtly affected his mood.
After Luo Ya's death, the anger in Zhou Li's heart had been contaminated by the Black Emperor's authority to an extreme level. If he had not suppressed his violent emotions and made the move to hand over the Black Emperor to Eluma, Zhou Li would have I can’t imagine what will happen to me in the future.
At least, I will never let Magnum III's high blood pressure be relieved.
After Zhou Li handed over his authority to Eluma, Zhou Li began to accompany Eluma day and night. He kept observing whether Eluma was affected by the Black Emperor and whether her personality changed. However, after so many days of observation, Zhou Li came to a surprising conclusion.
The Black Emperor seems to like Eluma very much.
Just like a strict father gets a well-behaved and lovely daughter, the more harsh and irritable he is to outsiders, the more he will love his daughter. Up to now, not to mention affecting Eluma's emotions, the Black Emperor's power even actively stripped away the negative power previously drawn from Zhou Li's body, deliberately making himself purer, as if he was afraid of accidentally hurting Eluma.
Moreover, Eluma's manipulation of the Black Emperor's power has reached the point where Zhou Lidu is angry. The reason for his anger is that he has found a power that is more powerful than himself. My previous manipulation of Black Mist was nothing more than irritating others and making them lose their minds.
And Eluma can actually let the black mist help her control the seasoning accurately, making it accurate to the gram!
It’s even deliberately accurate to micrograms!
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor's double-standard behavior, Zhou Li also let go of the huge stone in his heart.
Of course, there was another problem that troubled Zhou Li.
After flattering Queen Eluma and letting her wash the dishes with the people, Zhou Li returned to his room. He spread out the Brave Exclusive, and soon, a line of ink words appeared on it.
(Oh, you still remember me, and I fell in love with your new sister because of you, forgetting that we are like yesterday's flowers)
Looking at the words filled with resentment in front of him with black lines on his face, Zhou Li tugged at the corner of his mouth with a look of disgust on his face, "Can you not disgust me? Why don't you play Dream of Red Mansions here? Do you need me to give you a shovel to bury it? Hua, are you going to mention another poem?"
(Forget it, I can’t write poetry)
"Then turn the page quickly, I can't wait."
Zhou Li rubbed his hands and turned the book to a new page. This brand new page is incompatible with the other pages exclusive to the brave. Both the texture and the text have an eerie feel that is difficult to understand. However, in Zhou Li's eyes, these strange words were very easy to identify just like Chinese.
(The biggest gains of your trip to Yingnan are all here, go and see for yourself)
Nodding his head, Zhou Li put his hand on this unique page of paper, closed his eyes, and felt the gift they left for him.
(Twelve Hours Card - Sixth Fantasy Killer)
A card engraved with strange patterns slowly fell into Zhou Li's hand. It was a silver-white card with only a pen that pierced the paper drawn on it. The pen didn't have any engravings, it was just an extremely ordinary pen that almost everyone used.
Stroking the lines on the silver card, Zhou Li gently turned it over. On the back of the card, a book filled with magnificent colors appeared in front of him.
(Twelve Hours Card - Rhapsody of the Chaos Soul)
He put the card in his hand and then looked at the content on the Brave Exclusive.
(Fantasy Killer: Artifact of God)
(Ability: You can kill all illusions)
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment when he looked at the misty description above. Then he looked at the vase aside and activated the power to pierce reality.
Nothing happened.
"Forget it, let's watch the next one."
After making some guesses, Zhou Li knew that he could not test this ability now, so he looked directly at the power introduction on the other side of the card. This was also the most important purpose of his trip.
(Rhapsody of the Soul: Things of Discord)
(Ability: Control, control the soul like a madman)
The introduction of the power of Soul Rhapsody was more like something left to him by the God of Literature. Zhou Li chuckled lightly. He knew that this ability was a reward from the God of Literature, and it was also his expectation for himself.
Now, he knew Eluma's life experience, and also knew that the half of her missing soul was the memory of previous lives. Because of Eluma's special physique, she obviously lost half of her soul, but she became more pure and perfect. Therefore, the power of this Soul Rhapsody seems to be a useless ability for Zhou Li.
However, don't forget, Kaya also has a twelve-hour card on her body.
After having Rhapsody, Zhou Li was confident that he could find a card that played a vital role in his future plans without harming Kaya. Now, he just needs to wait quietly.
(I didn’t expect you really handed the Black Emperor to her)
"If I delay it any longer, I'm afraid I will become a monster."
In a flip of the hand, the card returned to be exclusive to the brave. Looking at the words exclusive to the brave, Zhou Li sighed helplessly, "And at that time, only by letting Eluma control the Book of Gaia did I have a real chance of winning. I was confident that I could defeat the falsehood, but I couldn't. A confrontation as evil as locusts."
(You lost the Black Emperor, aren't you going to see the power left by the other brave men?)
"certainly."
Zhou Li nodded, but then shook his head, "Let's wait for a while."
"Chonghuang's power is enough to deal with this situation. I will go to the Twilight Forest in a few days. I will feel more at ease there."
The moon and stars are sparse.
It was night, and Torea stood on the top of the clock tower of the palace. She looked at the full moon like a jade plate with fascination, her expression was a little dazed.
Recently, Torea hasn't been feeling well.
It was not because she had been cleaning the palace for more than a week, which was not difficult for her. Even in order to punish herself, she specifically did not use the power brought by her profession to clean every inch of the palace extremely meticulously, which was better than paying someone to hire someone. Everyone should be careful. But to her, this was just a trivial matter.
Her real worry is Zhou Li.
Of course, Torea was not bored or disgusted with Zhou Li. Even if Zhou Li told her some extremely inappropriate things for children, targeted her casually, and took the trouble to disgust her every day, she still didn't feel disgusted with Zhou Li.
Even if there is, it's just a little bit, a little bit, a little bit.
The main reason why Torea indulged Zhou Li so much was that she saw herself in Zhou Li.
Yes, if Zhou Li knew what Torea was thinking, he would definitely laugh three times, and then fill a banquet to celebrate that Torea became the first person in history to become an imbecile after traveling through time. From appearance to personality, and even the way they walk, these two people are completely opposite.
Zhou Li has a standard oriental appearance, with black hair and black eyes, and a face as beautiful as a crown jewel but not at all feminine. His smile is always a little reserved, but everyone can see the power surging from this reserved smile. He never hesitates with his expression and voice, speaks loudly, and expresses his emotions with his expression without any scruples. He is like a sun emitting nuclear pollution, making people love and hate him at the same time.
Torea was completely different from him. Her facial features were very three-dimensional, but she didn't have any sharp feeling. She has silver hair as bright as the Milky Way, but also has breathtaking red eyes. Torrea has almost no expression on weekdays, and she seldom speaks. Except when necessary, she always stands in a corner like a transparent person, which also gives Magnum III a headache.
Even though there was no similarity between the two people from head to fingernails, Torea felt a familiar aura from Zhou Li. For Torea, she felt that Zhou Li was really similar to her.
The same loneliness, the same persistence.
Torea had never been able to see through Zhou Li. She didn't know how this ridiculously young boy had the temperament that he could only possess after surviving a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. She didn't understand why Zhou Li's thoughts and abilities were incompatible with the world, but he was toying with the world. She didn't know whether Zhou Li was good or evil, or what he was doing.
But Torea will never forget that on a rainy night in Jordan, she saw Zhou Li's profile in the candlelight. It was a kind of loneliness that was isolated from the world, and that kind of loneliness made people feel desperate in their hearts. At that moment, Torea seemed to see herself in Zhou Li, a similarly lonely self.
Of course, if Zhou Li hadn't put a bucket on the door for Kristen to drink, Torea would have been feeling sad for a long time.
In the past days, Torea rarely felt emotional fluctuations in Zhou Li's words or actions. She had been thinking calmly and listened calmly to every word Zhou Li said to her. Because even if she felt as lonely as Zhou Li, they were just strangers after all.
However, during the war in Jordan, when Zhou Li and Eluma fought side by side against the falsehood, Torea was shocked by Zhou Li.
What is he obsessed with?
People who obviously like to have everything in their hands give the power they rely on to others. The brave man who is always alone has no scruples in giving his back to the messenger of God. It should obviously be a story about a brave man defeating the devil, but with the will and pride of mankind, and the expectations of countless people, he defeated the ancient gods and defeated the terrifying evil ghost.
But what on earth is he doing? What is it that makes him so persistent? For what purpose could Zhou Li get out of that eternal loneliness and dare to take over the expectations and hopes of others and fight against a monster that seemed impossible to defeat?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all.
Torea knew that she was the "son of God" bred from the best seeds on the planet Noah, and her talent was beyond the reach of 99% of the people in Noah. But after she came to this world, she could never learn to get rid of this eternal loneliness, even if she was surrounded by thousands of people, even if she was admired by thousands of people, it would still be the same.
How can I get rid of this loneliness?
