It seems like the melodious singing is coming from somewhere?
It seemed that someone was singing, but it didn't seem to be singing. He couldn't understand the song, but after being lost for a long time, the direction in which the sound came from was his only beacon.
After following the song through the forest, the knight saw the silver castle shining in the sun, majestic, solemn and grand!
On the top of the city in the distance, a girl in a gorgeous dress stood among the roses and played the violin. The melody was lighthearted, long-lasting, and particularly beautiful in this midsummer.
The knight couldn't help but stop and listen. Until the song ended, the girl seemed to have discovered the confused intruder in the distance.
She turned around and looked slightly startled.
Those smart eyes are like the most shining rubies in the world, reflecting the bright golden sunlight, which is so beautiful that it makes people feel addicted.
The knight's mind was filled with confused thoughts.
Finally he thought: Maybe he could go over and ask for directions.
…
…
The moment he signed the soul contract, Alex Green's memories flowed out one after another along with the trajectory of the contract, spinning around in his mind again.
Then, he felt an incomprehensible power of rules invade his consciousness, leaving a rose mark on his soul.
He could feel himself being controlled by this mark.
And sense the other side through this power.
After it was over, the traveling poet subconsciously looked at his character card slot, only to find that there was still a little bit left unfinished.
Traveling Poet: "..." I feel a sense of regret for no reason.
…
[Main mission: Contract a soul (completed). 】
After Xu Shuo opened his eyes, he looked at his left wrist.
The inner side of the wrist that was cut for the contract has returned to its original shape, and the previous scars and blood stains have turned into a rose pattern imprinted on the skin, seemingly integrated with the flesh and blood.
The scarlet pattern is located in the middle of the radius and is three centimeters in size. It looks particularly gorgeous against the blood vessels spreading under the skin.
Xu Shuo: "..." No way?
He felt that there was an extra spiritual power in his consciousness, and the other end was connected to the traveling poet in front of him. He could completely control the other person's spirit and soul through this.
But, no?
It’s unlikely that this flower will still be imprinted on your wrist after you leave the script world, right?
Moreover, when Qilisi contracted those housekeepers in the past, there were no such weird marks or anything like that!
He just made the contract completely based on Qilisi's memory. After all, this kind of behavior relies on the human soul, and Xu Shuo doesn't dare to mess with it.
But why is it different now?
Xu Shuo looked at the flowers and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, a concerned voice came from the side.
Xu Shuo turned to look at the traveling poet, showed a tidied expression, and asked with more concern: "How are you? Are you feeling any discomfort? How are you feeling mentally?"
The traveling poet thought for a while: "There is no other special feeling, but there are some new abilities. Is this your ability?"
"Can you show me?"
"Well...there's nothing to demonstrate here."
The traveling poet looked around meaningfully, but they were the only two living creatures in the entire palace or even the castle, and there was no way he could conduct an experiment.
Thinking of this, the traveling poet simply organized his language expression: "I can influence other people's emotions and guide their desires, such as making them happy, angry, sad, or even desperate."
Hearing this, Xu Shuo was a little stunned.
So why didn't I?
This isn't fair!
However, as a witch, Qilisi is really good at bewitching others. Basically, she creates an illusion by disrupting the magnetic field around the target, invisibly affecting the target, making the other person confused and unable to concentrate.
In short, it makes people crazy.
After all, if you can't think calmly, the more you think about it, the more irritated and confused you will become, and you will go crazy.
It sounds very general, but in fact the effect and affect on mood seem to be similar?
Xu Shuo barely managed to balance his psychology.
"Let's leave Prague Castle now."
At this time, the traveling poet said again. He stared closely at the girl in front of him, with unclear emotions in his amber eyes.
Xu Shuo knew what he was wary of and smiled slightly: "Okay, don't worry, I can take you directly to the underground palace."
The traveling poet looked at her doubtfully.
…
After the two signed the soul contract, the seemingly crumbling Prague Castle temporarily stopped collapsing. The cracks spread to their feet but stopped.
The lie given by Xu Shuo was that his soul, which was about to be destroyed, had been supported, so he still had some strength to support Prague Castle.
So next, he grabbed the traveling poet and appeared in the underground space.
Just go to the destination in one step, no need to rush.
The huge blood pool was now filled with a dark, sticky substance. It no longer had the rich smell of blood, but had a more disgusting rotten smell.
What's more important is that there is a figure floating on the black pool.
The traveling poet took a closer look. Isn't this the female student who failed to attack Qilisi but was killed in reverse, and was finally swallowed up by blood?
She was actually teleported here?!
Xu Shuo also saw her and explained calmly: "Everyone who is swallowed by my ability will be transported here to be digested by the castle."
When the traveling poet heard this, he didn't say anything, but walked to the shore and threw out a piece of metal.
The metal sheet that used to be as sharp as iron was now completely harmless. It caught the female student's clothes, turned around and brought her to the shore.
"She's still breathing."
"It's amazing..." Xu Shuo read.
With the mission over and the finale ahead of him, he no longer wanted to put in the effort to act.
The reason why Xu Shuo didn't directly deal with this player was because if the Traveling Poet didn't work, this poor little guy was the most promising backup.
The traveling poet mused: "The ability to withstand the erosion of this thing should be due to the sacred breath in her body."
Xu Shuo nodded: "After all, this girl is the saint of the Vatican choir, Alex, don't you remember?"
Traveling poet: "..."
He looked through the memories of Alex Green's past life, and managed to find the face of the saint in the long-distant picture. He couldn't say that it was exactly the same, but he could only say that Her Highness the saint was not so crazy.
But when the Holy See went to conquer the witch, the choir seemed to follow them?
It is estimated that the whole army was wiped out together.
No wonder he wants to come here for revenge in this life.
The traveling poet covered the unfortunate saint's head with a white towel, and then looked up at the round platform in the center of the Black Pool.
The round platform still exists, but there is a sword missing from it.
The circular cone is closed.
The traveling poet frowned slightly: "The woman didn't leave? Or did she take the sword away after opening the door?"
"no."
Xu Shuo shook his head and looked towards the stairs: "The route to the castle is a bit complicated. She hasn't arrived yet, so she'll be a step behind us."
When the words fell, the figure of the archaeologist walked out of the stairs.
Traveling poet: "..."
The archaeologist who saw them: "..."
At this moment, the archaeologist's mood was so complicated that no words could describe it. Even her facial expression was almost distorted. After she hesitated to speak for a long time, both parties finally fell into a long silence.
The traveling poet didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only stretch out his hand towards her: "Give me the sword, and let's leave together."
The archaeologist walked over angrily and handed over the epee.
When she got closer, she saw the female student lying on the ground again, and finally couldn't help complaining: "Why is she here too? Are we going to bury her?"
"No, she is still alive. Maybe we can try to save her."
The traveling poet took the sword, turned around and jumped to the round platform in the center of the black pool. Hearing this, he said without looking back.
The archaeologist uncovered the black towel covering the girl's face and saw that she still breathed. Judging from how sticky the black towel was, it must have helped purify her.
After thinking about it, the archaeologist sympathetically put a marble into her mouth and held it in her mouth.
To be able to persist under the erosion of the abyss until now, this lady seems to be a ruthless person who is not inferior to the housekeeper.
Not to mention, from now on, Butler Armand will be regarded as a ruthless unit in her mind.
The archaeologist wanted to ignore Qilisi next to him as much as possible, but the girl obviously did not want to let her go, and took out a book with a black leather cover with a smile.
"Hmm?" Xu Shuo shook the book.
"……"archaeologist.
Damn it! She originally thought that after leaving this script, her natal props would automatically return to the script space, which would be equivalent to a task for nothing!
I never expected that the traveling poet would actually reach a consensus with Qilis. Why didn’t this couple die on it?
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Xu Shuo smiled tenderly: "I believe you are willing to stay in Prague Castle to continue archaeology, right?"
The archaeologist looked hesitant and stretched out his hand.
She gritted her teeth, and finally reached out angrily and pressed it on the book. There was no unnecessary action or dazzling light. After a while, the archaeologist removed her palm.
"That's it!"
The archaeologist had a cold face, and after finishing speaking, he folded his arms and turned away angrily, as if he didn't want to see her again.
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows and did not question it again, because a system explanation appeared in front of him.
[Special prop "Documentary Notes": As an honest reporter, it will never lie about anything, and it will truthfully report all the truth. As long as it happened in the first place, as long as that is what you want to know. But
,You have to pay something to know the truth, right?】
Give something?
Judging from previous experiments, it must have something to do with my own spiritual consciousness.
Xu Shuo did not try it out on the spot, but put the book into the toolbar with satisfaction.
The archaeologist stood nearby and stared intently, but in fact he was still peeking. Seeing this, he couldn't help but asked: "Where did you put the things?"
"Why don't you want to think about where I put Prague Castle?" Xu Shuo smiled.
"..." Fantasy?
The archaeologist thought about it and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the traveling poet on the round platform looked at the opened underground passage, turned to the two of them and said, "It's time to leave."
…
When the knights dug the tunnel, they never thought of building a staircase for themselves.
Therefore, this crossing leads straight down. Through the dim light, you can faintly see the foundation and soil and rocks below, and there is also a very weak wind blowing out of the crossing.
It seems that it does lead to the outside world.
Even if not, there must be an open exit on the other side.
The archaeologist held the female student in his hand and threw her down first to test the depth. Fortunately, the landing was not deep.
After all, a knight cannot fall to his death while digging a tunnel, or he cannot dig out halfway, only to be unable to crawl out when Qilis comes to find him.
Xu Shuo couldn't help but sigh: "You have worked hard for several years, Alex."
Traveling Poet: "..." It's not that I thank you.
And why do you seem to be making fun of me now?
The archaeologist clicked his tongue twice. He no longer wanted to stay by the side of the black pool, so he jumped down the passage first, lifted up the half-dead female student and moved forward to make way for her.
The traveling poet followed closely, and then stretched out his hand to the girl standing above: "Come down."
Xu Shuo looked at him, his eyes flashing slightly.
But there was no action.
…
The first time Qilis didn't want to leave Prague Castle, it was because the knight was a Vatican saint who believed in the Holy Light, and she was an evil witch who was being hunted.
The "Witch Trial" activities launched by the Holy See were vigorous and vigorous. Under the cavalry of the Holy See Knights, no witch could be spared!
She dared not leave the comfort zone she had created.
When she stayed in Prague Castle, at least she had the sacrifice formation she carefully prepared as a trump card, but once she left, she could only rely on her own magic power.
Qilisi was tortured internally, and finally had no choice but to let the knight go alone.
Because the spirit of knights pursues freedom.
As for now...
Chilis cannot leave Prague Castle.
It's because her soul consciousness has been restricted in this illusion, trapped in the rose illusion woven by herself. After all, she has died long ago.
Maybe she can be attached to flowers and plants, attached to a sword, attached to any real object.
But like that, she is still a dead evil spirit, a rootless duckweed that will dissipate as soon as the sun shines. She is safest only if she stays in Prague Castle.
Leaving Prague Castle is equivalent to personally breaking the illusion you live in and facing the judgment of the Holy Light.
The evil witch only deserves to live alone forever.
…
The traveling poet was slightly startled.
There was no need to analyze the girl's body movements. The emotions he sensed from the soul mark already told him something.
"Qilisi!"
Afraid that the girl would turn around and leave without saying anything, the traveling poet shouted quickly and said with serious eyes: "I won't let anything happen to you and will protect you! Haven't you always wanted to leave Prague Castle, and isn't our contract that
Does it exist for this?"
Xu Shuo came back from his hesitation and paused slightly after hearing the words.
To be honest, he really doesn't believe in the traveling poet. What if this guy dumps him after he goes out?
Forget it, let’s decide who is faster with his hands or his mental strength!
This character card is really hard to earn...
After only a moment of hesitation, Xu Shuo jumped down the passage, stood beside the traveling poet and smiled: "What are you thinking? How could I shrink back?"
The traveling poet was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
The archaeologist who was watching the show rolled her eyes almost to the sky. She shook her head speechlessly, turned around and walked in front.
…
Although this passage took a long time to dig, it actually didn't take long to walk. Within a quarter of an hour, a faint light came from the front.
The traveling poet stopped and looked at the girl walking quietly at the end.
The closer she got to the outside, the more silent she seemed.
"We are almost there, don't worry." The traveling poet comforted him, and then stretched out his hand.
Xu Shuo smiled at him, and then his body turned into a flash of red light and disappeared directly into the traveling poet's eyebrows.
The traveling poet subconsciously touched his forehead. He felt as if something was staying in his mind. This feeling was weird, as if an evil spirit was occupying his mind.
Wait, Qilisi seems to be an evil spirit?
Traveling poet: "..."
The archaeologist stood at the entrance of the passage. Seeing this situation, he blinked and said, "How about we kill her quietly after we get out. We will definitely be able to add more..."
The traveling poet was expressionless: "Do you think she can hear it?"
"Tsk."
The archaeologist dragged the female student out of the passage, and the bright and warm sunlight immediately fell on her, even making her feel a little dazzling.
She squinted her eyes and turned to look around.
This is the edge of the green forest, and in the direction they came from, there are no magnificent castles and manors anywhere.
There is only a lake sparkling in the sun.
Clear, vibrant, without the slightest haze.
[Congratulations to the players for completing more than 50% of the main mission. This theater will end in half an hour. Please be prepared. 】
The sound of the system in her mind interrupted the archaeologist's thoughts of admiring the natural scenery. She turned around and saw that the traveling poet had also climbed out of the tunnel, looking a little dazed.
The archaeologist joked: "It seems we have to wait a while, it must be the guy on my hand who is holding us back."
She was referring to the female students who were still half-dead.
The traveling poet didn't say anything. He simply sat on the edge of the forest and waited for the countdown to end. He looked at the character card slot he had filled and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that it is right to bring Qilisi out.
In his sea of consciousness, Xu Shuo, whose spirit body resides here, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Got the character card!
Perhaps in Qilisi's wish, she really hopes to leave here with the knight.
The traveling poet spread his wrist and looked at the rose pattern on the blood vessel connected to the heart on his left wrist, thinking deeply in his heart.
In his previous life, the Grimm Knight escaped from the witch and his bondage, so he left on his own. In the end, he returned to Prague Castle again, perhaps to take Qilis away.
Between them, they are like fireflies chasing the light, like spring breeze chasing the blooming flowers.
The traveling poet looked at the lake and sighed.
…
Suddenly, the reminder sounded in the minds of the three of them again!
The traveling poet and archaeologist were stunned, and then suddenly looked at each other, with shock and confusion in their eyes!
Has half an hour arrived?
Not here yet?
The next moment, their eyes suddenly went dark!
…
