At the main entrance of Jialuo Academy, a tall spire towers into the sky. The black tower body is covered with vines and rust. Where the green rust is dense, if you look carefully, you can still vaguely make out the remnants of the battle. , a desolate and ancient atmosphere permeated it, telling the cruelty and unyielding past.
This is the No. 1 Light Tower of the Garo City State, numbered 00001, also known as the "Academy Tower".
The base at the bottom of the tower is not big, only a few tens of square meters. It is surrounded by a vast park in the middle of the street. There is a very gorgeous magic fountain in the center of the park, which attracts many children to chase among the water. play.
The clean, flat road extends outwards from the academy tower. On both sides of the road are marble magic-patterned lamps standing neatly, carved into the image of tall and majestic sword-holding guards, and the whole body emits a soft and bright light.
On the left and right sides of the base of the academy tower, there are two semi-circular broad monuments with many names densely engraved on them. At the foot of the broad monument are many small and exquisite lamps.
——These turned out to be two memorial walls, originally used to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed heroically in the previous anti-monster battles!
Maybe it’s because of the first Light Tower in the Pan-Continent, or maybe because it’s the Demon Annihilation Array next to the academy, which is the place with the smallest chance of being possessed by demons in the entire Jialuo city-state. When people in Jialuo lose their loved ones, they always come to this wide monument. Offer a lamp in the hope that the soul of your loved one can pass away peacefully under the light of the Tower of Light.
Gradually, the wide monument also became a symbol for the people of Jiala to pay homage to their loved ones and express their grief.
At this time, Yu was walking through the square, and when he passed the wide monument, he subconsciously slowed down his steps - he would always treat these objects of sustenance that carry his thoughts very carefully! Those gently swaying firelights are proof of the existence of the deceased! How touching it is to be missed and loved!
...Aileen, that girl who I have never met but has given so much to me, you must still be living well somewhere... I really want to see your face and hear your voice...Aileen, Do you know how much I miss you?
I remember the days when he first woke up, the boy was like crazy, trying every means to regain his memory, which brought a lot of trouble to his mother-in-law and the others!
One day, it seemed that something in the dark was contacting him, tempting him to run the Yuan Wheel. He did so, but the black and white halves of the Yuan Wheel not only solidified as before, but even each exploded with a powerful force. Internal conflicts in the body…
Although his mother-in-law arrived in time and took action to suppress these two forces, most of his internal organs were in dilapidated condition and he was dying!
He vaguely felt that his body was being held tightly in the arms of a girl. The fragrant body temperature and the unstoppable tears on his face were something he would never forget for the rest of his life!
The last voice before falling into coma was the mother-in-law saying to the girl:
"Ai Lin, to save him, I need Xiaosanxiaowu's blood, and your most important thing..."
When he woke up again, the wounds in his body had long been healed, and the name Ailin had been engraved in his heart. However, no matter how much he begged, his mother-in-law was still unwilling to tell him where Ailin was. She only comforted him that Ailin was still alive.
...alive? Yes, just living is better than anything else!
But everyone can understand that the price that can be saved from a dying injury must be a heavier price than this injury! Even if the price is not life...
If Aileen was maintaining life in some sad state now, he would rather have died then!
Incomparably strong emotions surged in the young man's heart, in front of this wide monument.
...Eileen, one day, I will walk in front of you. Maybe I will be speechless. I cannot express those feelings. Please allow me to touch the ground on one knee and swear the oath of knighthood!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
My mother-in-law's home is at the foot of Fengming Mountain to the west of the college. It's three blocks away from the college, about six or seven kilometers.
In the meantime, we have to pass through a very bustling commercial street. Stores of all sizes are lit up at night, and many people linger in them.
Just as Yu passed the first store on the street, the door of the fruit and vegetable store in front was pushed open, and two girls who spent time together came out carrying large bags of vegetables.
"Little San, Xiao Wu, have you bought all the groceries?"
Yu Xiao ran forward and said hello naturally.
"Um…"
Xiao Wu nodded slightly, and a slight sound still came from the direction of his stomach. He opened the bag and showed it to him. As for the other girl whose face was red for no reason, she had already shrunk behind Xiao Wu, and the bag in her hand was covered by She twisted into a ball...
Yu Chong looked at the girls fondly. He had long been accustomed to encounters like this at night, and had never cared about the strange behavior of talking with his stomach and blushing when they met. Although he didn't know their age, he always believed in them. She is my sister! The closer you get, the more real the feeling of closeness becomes!
He knew that the blood of Xiao San and Xiao Wu was also flowing in his body!
“The parsley and tomatoes are so tender. It’s worthy of Xiao Wu. His food shopping skills are top-notch!”
"Oh, I can't help but want to cook. What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? Tomato cheese? How about grilled pork?"
"Um…"
"By the way, speaking of Tongluo pork, it has to be plump and tender pork belly to be delicious. Let's go to that store. The meat there is really good."
"Um…"
After Yu finished talking about the lunch box, he walked away first. The butcher shop was at the corner of the commercial street, in a relatively remote alley.
But at this moment, the people in front suddenly started to commotion! They ran toward Yu in panic, and several sharp voices pierced the night sky:
"Possessed! Someone is possessed!!!"
Xiaosan and Xiaowu immediately threw away their bags and passed Yu in a flash. They guarded him on the left and right, with serious expressions and vigilantly guarding the front!
At the entrance of the alley where the butcher shop is located, a little girl of only six or seven years old, with a thick iron rope around her neck, was dragged out like a dog by two middle-aged priests...
The little girl was choked so hard that she couldn't speak. She clutched the chain in pain and futility. Her mouth was wide open and she couldn't even make a sound!
That expression of fear and despair, combined with the tears that kept falling - she must have been dragged a long distance, and the skin on her knees and arms was almost scratched!
——Isn’t this the butcher’s child? !
Yu carefully identified it, yes! It's that girl with big eyes and a cute smile!
At a young age, she can sensibly recommend the products in the store, wrap every piece of fresh meat very carefully, and lively run around to help you with every little thing. She even draws the prints on the wrapping paper herself. of!
Just like a ray of sunshine in a small shop, a girl who can make people happy unconsciously...
But now, she was tied and dragged tightly, and her two calves were completely engulfed by the dark evil energy!
Yu wanted to get closer, but his arms were tightly hugged by Xiaosan and Xiaowu, unable to move at all!
At this time, a middle-aged couple stumbled out of the alley, crying and begging:
"Priest! Please! Don't... don't take her away!"
The people on the street had already retreated into the distance and gathered in a thick circle again, watching uneasily...
"Everyone, stay away! Stay away!"
A priest straightened the blue ribbon draped sideways and shouted majestically, but the chain in his hand did not stop at all.
"The demonic energy has taken shape in the body, and you are already a half-demon! You must use the demon-sealing ring as soon as possible! Butcher shop, your piety is too low, and you do not meet the standards for using the great dispersion technique! In the name of the temple, we must put her take away!"
The priest said coldly and added:
"If I were you, I would just go home, close the door, cry, and then apply to become a member of the temple as soon as possible! You would be better off. Not only did you find that the possessed person not only failed to report it in time, but he also arranged a magic neutralization array to hide it. It is really stupid!"
Yu felt as if there was a huge stone stuck in his heart - he was not a child who didn't understand anything! It is said that the families that belong to the temple not only have to hand over a huge amount of crystal coins every year, but also go to the temple regularly to worship and make offerings. Only in this way will their piety in the temple increase and meet the standards for the use of the Great Dispersion Technique. , it will take at least ten years to be possible...
If you don't have enough piety but still require a great dispersion spell, legend has it that the price is astronomical in terms of soul crystal coins!
Even if the Great Dispersion Technique can only be cast by a black belt priest at the master level, isn't there any kind-hearted priest who can come to help her first? Can't we make up for the piety points or something in the future?
She is just a child...
Yu was silent. Having been taken in by his mother-in-law, it was even more impossible for him to bear the price of a great dispersion spell. A huge sense of powerlessness gripped him. He could only pray silently for a miracle to come...
If it were Qiangwei or several other priest instructors in the academy, even if they were only at the master level, they would definitely find a way to do something...
His arms were held tighter by the girls around him, and he could clearly feel their bodies trembling!
Sure enough, they must also be sad for the little girl... Could it be that the little girl who calls them brother and sister like a silver bell is no longer a human being once she becomes possessed?
In this world, except for the costly dispersion technique, is there nothing that can save them?
"Get out of my way! This half-demon is too weak and will become possessed very quickly! Get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"
The girl on the chain had no strength to struggle at this time. Her arms were hanging softly, her thin neck was bent into a strange arc, and the look in her eyes was dimming little by little...
Anyone can see that her neck bone is broken and she won't live long...
The middle-aged couple discovered this immediately. They cried and howled, rushing forward desperately, hugging their daughter tightly, and also hugged the strange black energy!
The chain finally stopped...
"Damn! What are you doing?!" The middle-aged priests glowed with dazzling magical light and kicked the middle-aged couple hard.
Suddenly, black evil energy rose up and spread rapidly on the middle-aged couple's bodies. In just a moment, the evil energy had already invaded the top of their heads!
"Not good! Completely demonized! Be alert! Contact Tower 1 for support as soon as possible!"
The two priests immediately sent out the beacon, and the bright light ball rushed into the night sky. At the same time, they quickly distanced themselves and chanted the magical incantation loudly:
"Supreme Brahma, God of the Seven Lights, Shield of Light, gather together!"
The thick wall of magical magic condenses outside the body, and the breath is extremely sacred...
The crowd was in commotion like a tide, and various defensive spells had been cast on their bodies. They retreated while shouting angrily, with disgust and hatred written on their faces...
"Demon people!!!"
"Kill them! Kill them quickly!!"
The priests held staffs and used the few offensive magic to bombard the black air.
"In the name of Qiyao, purify!"
"In the name of Qiyao, disperse!"
Unfortunately, the strength of these two priests was too low. The blue ribbons on their bodies showed that they were just junior priests. They were secretly invited by a middle-aged couple without telling the deacons of the temple. They seemed to have powerful magic before they could get close. The demonic aura swallowed him up, but like adding fuel to the fire, two demonic auras quickly steamed up!
The strong iron chain in the priest's hand was originally made of the evil-hating metal with the worst power conductivity. It was the standard equipment for self-defense for ordinary priests in the temple, but it was corroded and vaporized by the two demonic energies in an instant!
The priests' bodies were trembling. They secretly glanced at the crowd further away, trying hard to resist the urge to run away.
And those two people whose figures were almost invisible, no, two demons! But he was still kneeling and hugging him on the ground, motionless...
At this moment, a huge roar suddenly erupted from the top of the Guangming Tower not far away, and a thick beam of light engulfed them before the sound came!
The family of three in the light beam was gradually decomposed and dissipated, without even a trace of smoke. The light beam dissipated, leaving only a light layer of dust on the ground...
"Area scan... Confirmed, the demon has been destroyed!" The strong man on duty at the top of the Light Tower reported the results, and then returned to silence.
The crowd was relieved and burst into overwhelming cheers, drowning out the murmurs of the two priests.
"Huh, it's such a danger. Ordinary people become demons so quickly that they don't even have time to control it..."
"What a pity for this rare opportunity. If that half-demon can successfully hand it over, I guess we can at least add one star to our divine power..."
"Dream! I heard that there are a lot of such materials in Qiming Hall, and there is no shortage of this one..."
"Think about it, this is a rare possessed incident in Tower 1. Who knows which deacon will be interested..."
"...It's not the turn of little blue belt priests like us. Don't forget that you are only two stars and I am only three stars..."
"So what, at least it can increase a little bit of piety! Even if it is still far from the level of the great dispersion technique, our own divine power infusion still depends on piety. Do you want to be a little blue belt all your life? ?!”
"That... of course not... Qiyao! I think, apart from paying more crystal coins, what's wrong with becoming a member of the temple? This family is really stupid. Just the price of the magic neutralizing array is enough to pay several thousand yuan. It has been enshrined for many years! Look at the dozens of districts next to the main hall of the Western Continent, every one is not scrambling to enshrine the temple. Isn’t this a matter of course? After all, as long as the piety is enough, you no longer have to worry about being possessed by the devil... "
"Hey, you guys are actually feeling emotional...Qi Yao! If it weren't for piety, how could we have come all the way to Jialuo! Especially this No. 1 tower area is simply a remote place! Become part of the temple Until now, it is less than one-thousandth. After finally being persuaded, it didn’t take long for them to withdraw again... The little offerings they get every year are placed in the main hall, which is not even comparable to the donations from a small mission! Not much will happen to us little people... If we want to be promoted to intermediate priests, it will take years and months..."
"...Well, the crystal coin he has is the tortoiseshell egg..."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Yuhe and the girls were silent all the way, not knowing how to get home. They came out of their daze after hearing the mother-in-law's inquiry. Although they had witnessed one or two demonic incidents with their own eyes, they were completely demonized and directly eliminated like today. It’s the first time…
"Yu'er, are you sick? You look so bad..." Mother-in-law put her hand on his forehead with concern.
"Mother-in-law, I'm fine. The little girl from the butcher shop owner's family was possessed by a demon today, and the whole family died..." Thinking of what happened just now, Yu felt very depressed.
The mother-in-law sighed and comforted softly: "Don't be sad, kid. Ordinary people have no cultivation and their strength is too low. There is nothing we can do about it."
"I know, I just can't figure it out. There is at least a great priest in the temple who can obviously save her..."
The mother-in-law didn't speak, she just looked at the young man carefully, her eyes were a little strange...
"Mother-in-law, besides the great priests, is there no other way to save her?"
The mother-in-law hesitated for a rare moment, hesitated to speak, and finally spoke:
"No, as far as I know, there is someone who can completely eliminate demons. Because he has saved many demons, he is called the Holy Son of the Demon People..."
"Ah! If only the Holy Son were here, then where is he now?"
"...I don't know, but that Holy Son is not an adult. I heard he is very young, maybe about the same age as you..."
"...Mother-in-law, are you kidding me...How can someone who is more powerful than a great priest be as big as me? I think he must be a god-like person with extraordinary strength..."
"Yu'er, you have to know that miracles still exist in this world. The Holy Son is a miracle in himself!"
"So that's it. I really want to get to know him..."
"Yu'er, do you remember anything?"
"No...I've told you everything I've seen in my dream."
"That's it. Yu'er, do you want to become a priest?"
"Mother-in-law, you know that my dream is to become a magician..."
"Yu'er, the priest is also a very amazing profession! Not only can he treat injuries and illnesses, and he is respected by people, but the most important thing is that divine magic is the most powerful in restraining evil spirits, and it is the most difficult profession to become possessed! My mother-in-law knows a few very powerful people. Priest, after Yu'er becomes a professional, you can ask them directly for advice."
...My mother-in-law is so kind to me, she is always thinking about me...
Yu felt very embarrassed, but he always had a subtle sense of rejection in his heart about the future of becoming a priest, so he could only decline his mother-in-law's kindness once again.
"Thank you, mother-in-law! But if you want to compare, those mysterious and gorgeous magic circles are my favorite! My body is like this, so the Magic Maker is the most suitable..."
"That's it, I understand..."
Regarding Yu's choice, my mother-in-law was very helpless, but she knew that Yu's personality was very stubborn and there was no better way...
"Mother-in-law, it seems that the priests and instructors in the academy are very nice people, but I always feel that there is something different about the priests in the temple..."
"Well, Yu'er, you will understand many things when you grow up."
"If you change your mind, Yu'er, remember to tell your mother-in-law."
"I know, mother-in-law, do you know, mother-in-law? I will be able to reach Baijing soon."
"Congratulations, Yu'er, please don't train any more tonight. If you work too hard, your body will be overwhelmed."
"I know mother-in-law, I will pay attention."
"Come and eat. Today we have jam buns and herb salad."
The family sat around the dinner table, enjoying a table full of food. Many of the dishes actually tasted weird, and they were cut into small pieces or boiled into thick soup, and their original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
The mother-in-law ate very little as usual. After taking a few bites, she put down her chopsticks and stared at the boy quietly. Her kind face showed no trace of what she was thinking, but Xiaosan and Xiaowu kept pouring food into the boy's bowl. The young man had no time to refuse when he was offered food and food, so he had no time to speak.
Soon, almost all the food on the table went into his stomach, and a cup of fragrant hot tea was also handed to his hand.
What the boy didn't know was that the fruit used in the jam package was actually very rare in the Whispering Forest. Known as the "creator of martial arts masters", only one Lanqi fruit can expand the Dantian and meridians to the level of an intermediate martial arts master. Degree!
He also didn't know that the so-called vanilla was Hidden Dragon Grass, which was difficult for even the young geniuses of the goblin clan to obtain, or a thousand-year-old top quality that could improve physical fitness and cultivation qualifications several times!
That cup of tea was naturally no ordinary thing. Mixed in the top-quality tea leaves were the buds of a strange plant called "Nine Petals", which are particularly good at conditioning and warming the internal organs and eliminating impurities!
The combination of this full table of food will mix and change in the young man's intestines and stomach, and finally form a small ball of extremely pure energy essence, the effect of which is closest to divinity!
——And divinity is exactly what the master-level priests must pay to cast the great dispersion technique!
…The young man didn’t know these things at all, just like he didn’t know why his mother-in-law who adopted him was so kind to him, he didn’t know that Xiaosan and Xiaowu were actually guarding him silently all the time, and he didn’t know that there were hidden hidden things in ordinary life. Yes, what kind of emotion...
