"what is your name?"
The gentle wind gently blew the snow girl's hair, allowing Li Mo to clearly see her expression as she lowered her head and said nothing.
Both of them were the same, silent.
It was Li Mo's own problems that made the air a little tense, so he had to break the deadlock himself.
"Don't you want to say it?"
"Excuse me."
Li Mo shook his head,
He paused his breathing slightly to make his tone calm:
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, it is your own name. As long as it is not taken away, you are free to use it however you want. I, an outsider, have no reason or qualification to question you."
"Is it possible that the name was taken away?"
The Demon King poked Li Mo's back.
Sometimes the hidden meaning of leaving the end and not being able to say it directly made her confused.
"Of course it's possible. After all, things like names are by no means that simple for demons."
What's the name?
If you want to answer such a stupid question, the answer you can get is very simple. It is a code name, proof of identity, or expectations, nothing more.
But for demons, names are not that simple.
It is the source of the demon's power. It carries all the power of a demon. It is a very important thing. The name that has been confirmed will be engraved on the soul of the demon forever. There is no way to change it or use a fake name.
If they lose their names, the demons will lose all their power and even their lives.
Since it will be lost, it means that someone will definitely gain it.
So who can get it?
The answer is very simple, it is humans, and only humans can do it.
Demons can form contracts with humans by giving their names to humans, but at the same time, some humans can use special methods to forcibly take the names of demons, thereby gaining the unique and powerful power of demons.
Therefore, people from the demon clan will guard the names of themselves and their close relatives from birth, and only their close relatives can know their names.
"Then, the question is, why is your name so public, Ali?"
The bat was gently knocked off Li Mo's head.
The Demon King, who was sitting cross-legged behind Li Mo, interrupted him in the same nerve-wracking way as always.
"Because I'm super weak, and I don't have any power worth coveting. It's useless to take my name. It's better to say that taking my name will definitely make you weaker."
Li Mo took the bat away from his head and hit the Demon King with his sword in return.
"Besides, I always feel that it is too humble to hide my name just to prevent it from being taken away by mere humans."
"Well, from today on, Yu Yeyong will start calling himself by his first name. Listen up, Yu..."
"Okay, let's stop it!"
Li Mo mercilessly covered Lord Demon King's loose mouth, then took a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, so that he could temporarily control her mouth.
"Chew Chew Chew... After all, Chew Chew Chew, it was the bastard, Chew Chew, who invented using names as contracts, Chew Chew, idiot, Chew Chew..."
"Choose between eating and talking."
Even so, Li Mo still understood her question.
The Demon King probably wanted to complain about who invented this method of using names to make contracts, and it was only limited to humans.
"Speaking of the origin of the famous contract, it has to be traced back a long time ago. Legend has it that it was the contract technique invented by the first generation of demon kings."
That's an old story.
legend,
The first-generation Demon King was forced into desperation due to a huge defeat, and had no choice but to flee to the human continent.
On the human continent, the first generation met a beautiful girl...
"Okay, okay, stop it! What kind of nonsense is this story? I don't know what is going to happen next. The girl saved the first demon king, and the first generation gave the girl his name as proof of the demon out of gratitude, right? It's really boring. of."
The Demon King interrupted the story by waving his hands as if to ward off mosquitoes, and sighed in disappointment.
"Haha, it is indeed clichéd, but as the originator of such clichéd stories, it's hard to call them clichéd. And even though I say this, don't you think it's a bit romantic? I like this story very much and I also like this contract very much. Technique."
Yes.
Li Mo has loved this story since he was a kid and appreciates this contracting technique.
The original intention of this contract is to give everything in return to the benefactor. Once the contract is concluded, the name of the demon will be engraved on the soul of the new owner just like the original owner. As long as one of the two parties does not agree to terminate the contract or the two do not If they die at the same time, this contract will maintain the relationship between the two people forever.
The first generation who invented this contract technique gave his name to the girl and stayed by her side until the girl passed away, then returned to his hometown to unify the entire continent. And even if the girl passed away, the first generation must have abided by the contract and guarded her silently.
But no matter how beautiful it is, there are always those who are like sewer rat excrement and will find some "ways" to destroy this beauty.
Those despicable humans actually used this contract to invent a way to forcibly take away the name of the demons. Unlike giving names to the demons, which can give some power to the demons, if the name is taken away, the power will be completely lost and even ordinary people will become weak. If it is not serious, your life will be lost and your soul will disappear.
This is a big part of why Li Mo hates humans.
"Well, Mr. Limo..."
"Oh, sorry, sorry, we were talking to ourselves and left you alone."
Li Mo took the reins, turned the direction, and climbed onto the driver's seat skillfully:
"No matter what the reason is, as promised, I will send you to that human."
"I'm sorry, it seems that you have already guessed that many demons hate humans and would resent giving their names to humans, so I dare not tell you."
"Well, any normal person can guess that, and I do hate human beings, but I'm not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. That person must be very important to you. You just said that he is your family. , so I won’t be disgusted.”
If there are people around you who don't know right from wrong, it's easy to find a mirror.
Therefore, Li Mo has always urged himself to be a serious and discerning person, and he will not make arbitrary conclusions about good or bad.
"Excuse me."
Perhaps no one had ever said this to her, Xue Nu looked at Li Mo in shock, and then the shock naturally turned into a beautiful and warm smile.
Maybe this is her special thank you.
"Really, why do you always say sorry? This is definitely not a good answer."
"Because someone told me not to keep saying you're sorry."
"You definitely didn't understand what others meant!"
Li Mo waved the reins gently, and the horse began to pace on the narrow country road, pulling the three of them towards the direction from which Li Mo and the others came.
"Which way?"
Li Mo asked.
The snow girl looked at the road and hesitated for a long time, then pointed out the direction carefully.
"Probably over there, probably."
"You gave me two approximates! Can you be more confident and give me the approximate!"
"Excuse me."
well--
How can we cure her situation?
Some of the helpless Mr. Zhijiang thought about it and forgot some of the purposes when he set out.
