Moon Ring City Witch Guild Headquarters, inside the Moon Witch's luxurious office.
On the desk, a planetarium with precise structure and exquisite shape rotated slowly. Su Xiao sat in front of the desk, looking at the astrology. Opposite the moon witch Cecilis was checking an approval document, her brows slightly wrinkled.
"The families in Sky City are becoming more and more arrogant."
Cecilis raised her hand to insert the batch of documents into the shredder. She didn't know what she thought of, but instead of doing so, she opened the drawer and put the batch of batches of documents in the drawer.
"Bai Ye, why did you come to see me this time?"
"..."
Su Xiao said nothing. He turned the brake bolt of the planetarium and watched the planetarium slowly rotate.
When she didn't get a response from Su Xiao, Cecilis looked away from the approval document and looked at Su Xiao across the desk. After a brief gaze, Cecilis put down the approval document in her hand and said: "It seems like you
Whoever comes next will be unkind."
"..."
Su Xiao remained silent and looked at the astrology device in front of her.
"No matter how you say I am the Moon Witch, the most powerful witch in the world, is it really appropriate for you to ignore me like this?"
Cecilis looked at Su Xiao with a smile in her eyes.
"Have you ever heard the story of the hunter and the bear?"
As Su Xiao spoke, he pressed the central axis of the planetarium, smoothly removed the main body, and disassembled it with his bare hands. Through the spiritual shadow line, he quickly disassembled the main body of the astrology device.
"Never heard of it."
Moon Witch Cecilis picked up the black tea cup, took a sip, and waited for Su Xiao to tell the story about hunters and bears.
"He was a highly skilled hunter. He never failed in hunting and was famous far and wide. One day, he went to a small town for an appointment. The residents of that small town made a living by logging. However, a brown bear appeared there recently, so he invited him with a large sum of money.
The hunter of course agreed to deal with the brown bear. Unfortunately, the brown bear was strong and cunning. Although the hunter drove away the brown bear, he was still seriously injured. The town residents paid the reward, but not long after, the brown bear appeared again. In order to deal with it, the hunter
This brown bear, as well as regaining the trust of the town residents, bought a hound on the recommendation of his friends, and the effect was excellent. The fierce dog bit the brown bear and seriously injured him. Guess what happened in the end."
At this point, Su Xiao had already dismantled the planetarium into a bunch of parts. He picked up one of the somewhat deformed snap rings, replaced it with a new snap ring from the spare parts box, and then started to reassemble the planetarium.
"How did it turn out?"
After sipping the black tea, Cecilis slowly exhaled the hot breath.
"In the end the hunter and the bear stewed the hound together."
After Su Xiao finished speaking, he assembled the planetarium with a click in his hand, and reinstalled it on the main shaft. The asteroid re-rotated and made a pleasant mechanical sound instead of the slight friction noise just now.
This time it was Moon Witch Cecilis's turn to be silent. After half a minute, she sighed and said, "Wait a moment."
Moon Witch Cecilis got up and went to the bedroom behind the secret door. When she returned and sat down, she put down a black ring.
"This is Black Hole Azler's weapon. Black Hole Azler has three secret treasures, the dark blood with psychic power, the abyss contract that I have never seen before, and the ring of annihilation."
Moon Witch Cecilis put down the Ring of Oblivion. Things have progressed to this point, and she is ready to make some words clear.
The content of the story Su Xiao just told is very simple. It is questioning the relationship between the moon witch Cecilis and the first-generation black hole Azler. On the surface, the first-generation black hole Azler died many years ago and can be used to fake his death.
Su Xiao has encountered more than one hidden enemy.
In this story, Moon Witch = Hunter, the first Black Hole Azler = Brown Bear, and Su Xiao’s Team = Hounds.
The reason why Su Xiao compares himself to a hound in the story is because there is a hound in the team, and because of his identity as a hound, he may turn into a mad dog. A mad dog will kill everyone. This is a warning to the Moon Witch.
What the Moon Witch needs to do now is to prove clearly that she has not cooperated with the first-generation black hole Azler. Otherwise, her commission will end here, and the commission money she paid will be wasted on the spot.
It's not that Su Xiao is arrogant. As a hunter of the Void Tree with -? credibility, his understanding of the Void Tree's notarization rules is far better than that of the Moon Witch. The commission money is currently stored in the Void Tree. As long as the Moon Witch
If it is judged as a breach of contract, Su Xiao will immediately receive the commission money.
"What you are dealing with this time is actually not the real black hole Azler. The real Azler died more than ten years ago..."
Su Xiao raised his hand to indicate that he could skip this paragraph. He understood this and everyone's time was precious, so he just got to the point.
Moon Witch said: "Have you heard of the "Star Tower"?"
"I heard that I killed the former guard of this force, the Dark Twins."
"I used to be a member of this force, and so was the first generation Black Hole Azler..."
The Moon Witch began to narrate secrets about the "Astrology Tower", "Parliament", and the three "Parliament Elders" of Sky City. The more she listened, the more Su Xiao felt that the "Astrology Tower" seemed to be guarding, no, it should be guarding something.
The Dark Twins, the first boss to fight in this world, are actually gatekeepers for the "Guardian Thing".
Bosses like the Dark Twins are only qualified to guard the gates. The importance of the "guarded object" of the Star Tower can be imagined. When Su Xiao asked about it, the Moon Witch did not hide it. She knew what it was, but she couldn't.
He said that if she revealed this related matter in any way, she would be banished from this world and world consciousness.
It is unimaginable that Cecilis, as the moon witch, could be exiled from the witch world. Judging from her tone, even if the world cannot directly expel her, it will continue to increase its efforts to exclude her until she is expelled from the world.
world.
"So, you actually know the identity of the dancer and the madman?"
"Of course I don't know, Bai Ye, you have to understand me. I am not omniscient and omnipotent. Destiny is so wonderful and always beyond our expectations, so you have to be tolerant of some minor incidents."
Moon Witch had a smile in her eyes. After hearing this, Su Xiao quite agreed and said:
"I understand your difficulties, but understanding is mutual. You should also understand me once."
Hearing this, the Moon Witch picked up the tea cup and paused. A very bad premonition came to her heart. She asked: "I should understand, but..."
"It's just a pseudo-original sin that has entered this world."
"!"
Moon Witch put down her tea cup and the smile in her eyes disappeared. She has been particularly sensitive to the words "original sin object" recently.
After staring at Su Xiao for a few seconds, she sighed faintly. If it were in the past, she would not be able to tolerate this. She valued the witch world more than her life, but after meeting Su Xiao, her bottom line dropped.
After all, under the impact of a "Book of Original Sin" that sealed five original sin items, a fake original sin item was completely within the acceptable category.
"Okay, I pretend I don't know about this."
Moon Witch closed her eyes and sat back, her intention was very obvious, let her be alone here quietly.
"That's not possible for the time being. I'm going to use this pseudo-original sin object. Considering the risks, I need a safe enough place."
"for example?"
"For example, your office is nice."
Hearing this, Moon Witch breathed out slowly, but before she could speak, Su Xiao said: "Selin is a good heir. You should get her a library badge from the Soul Library."
"It's not as simple as you said. The Soul Library doesn't care about anyone or any force. The library badges they give are bound to the recipients. That thing can't be obtained by wealth, power, or influence. It can only be obtained by wealth, power, or influence.
It depends on luck."
Pa~
Su Xiao pressed a [Library Badge] on the table. Seeing this, Moon Witch was slightly surprised and asked: "Where did you get it?"
"..."
Su Xiao took out a cloth bag and threw it on the table. After opening it, there were more than a dozen "library badges" inside. This made the Moon Witch across the desk stunned for a moment. She had seen two "library badges" in her life.
, after becoming the Moon Witch, I also tried to get one, but found that it really didn't work. The owner of the Soul Library, the Ancient One, is a similar existence to the alien being in the void.
As for where Su Xiao got these "Library Badges", the Ancient One gave them to him, and the Ancient One didn't explain to him how to distribute these "Library Badges". Basically, it can be understood that Su Xiao can give them to anyone he likes.
Why are the ancients so kind to Su Xiao? Initially, because Su Xiao was a law destroyer, the ancients probably had a friendliness +1 point. This is already very unusual. In the past hundred years, the ancients have never been friendly to visitors.
Considered it.
But after Su Xiao used the "Book of Original Sin" to seal the five original sin objects, he became friendly with the ancient ones by +80 points. That is because the soul library was notarized through the Void Tree, and the rules of the library cannot be changed, otherwise the soul
All secret books, ancient books, and Su Xiao in the library can be borrowed for free.
The soul library has two purposes, 1. To store the knowledge developed in the void, all realms, etc., 2. To seal the original sin object.
Su Xiao alone has sealed more original sin objects than an entire library. Of course, the owners and members of the library are impressed by him and have a favorable impression of him.
Now he took out a "Library Badge" and named it for Serin. In fact, it was a reward for Serin's constant provision of intelligence. This time to deal with Black Hole Azler, Serin used the family's intelligence channels to provide Su with information.
Akatsuki provided many key clues, and she even led people to find the dancer Flair.
In addition, Serin also found the trace of Sha in a short period of time, and almost died for it. She was given a "Library Badge" as a reward, which was not much at all.
As for why not to give it directly to Serin, that is another question. Serin is one of the successors of the Moon Witch, and received the order from the Moon Witch to assist Su Xiao. Even if there is a reward, it should go through the hands of the Moon Witch.
Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin" and a dark contract. When she saw the contract, the Moon Witch across the desk frowned a little and said, "What is this."
After saying this, Moon Witch sighed, feeling a little helpless.
"The abyss contract is not dangerous."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Moon Witch sighed again. She has been sighing more often recently, and the upper limit of her tolerance for abyssal items and original sin items has been significantly increased.
The Moon Witch picked up the black tea cup and placed it on the display stand aside. The engraved mark on the bottom of the black tea cup activated the corresponding spell, and the entire office was gradually enveloped in the mysterious spell.
Su Xiao didn't pay attention to the activation of the spell. He placed the "Abyss Contract" on the table. This contract was different from ordinary parchment contracts. It was as soft as cloth and about 0.5 centimeters thick. It felt like satin when picked up.
, just by the feel of the hand, Su Xiao judged that it was a divine skin.
As a 'Contract Master', Su Xiao is very interested in this 'Abyss Contract'. The person who drafted and created this thing is also a Contract Master. 'Longing' for power from the abyss in this way is far safer than longing for it directly.
Direct desire, even if the power of the abyss is obtained, will be accompanied by loss of control, pain, and even power that can lead to madness in the desirer.
"Abyss Contract" sets a threshold for this desire. Assuming that the threshold is 100 points, then the signer of this contract can obtain up to 100 points of abyss power no matter how it is used.
On top of this limit, "restrictions" and "prices" are added, which can minimize the side effects of enduring the power of the abyss.
Why was the madman so painful that Su Xiao slashed him to death? It was because the price he paid was "a hundred times the pain."
Su Xiao took out a strange loupe. This thing was a half-mechanical and half-biological structure. He found it in the drawing room of the underground area of the Everlight World. He put the loupe on his right eye, and then took out the abyss-breeding creature's belly skin.
Wear the gloves you made on your hands to avoid risks while researching the "Abyss Contract".
When the Moon Witch on the opposite side saw this scene, she suddenly felt that if she encounters any trouble related to the abyss in the future, it would be a good choice to invite this exterminator to help solve it. Although the reward is high, it is indeed professional.
The witch world has been invaded by the abyss. The understanding of the abyss here is better than other worlds. As the leader of the most powerful force in the world, the moon witch certainly has more knowledge about the abyss. As the moon witch, she recognizes Su Xiao's aspect.
Ability, you can imagine how good Su Xiao is in this aspect.
It's not that Su Xiao loves this aspect very much, but his life is at stake. Under the supervision of the five 'strict masters', his ability in this aspect is even stronger.
After studying the Abyss Contract for a moment, Su Xiao knew the characteristics of this object. It seemed to be a way to gain power. In fact, it was not the case. In Su Xiao's opinion, whether it was the first generation black hole Azler or the fanatics, they had no influence on the Abyss.
The way to use the contract is to use a pen as a dagger, a typical cow chewing peonies.
Directly using the Abyss Contract to gain power, no matter what "restrictions" and "prices" are set, the side effects of using the power of the Abyss cannot be avoided. As a contract master, Su Xiao recognized the author of this Abyss Contract because
The other party laid out the contract exquisitely.
Desire for power directly from the abyss is crude and high-risk, so the creator of this abyss contract chose to learn the ability from the abyss "desire". Through this abyss contract as a medium, he can gain the power of the abyss and improve his own learning ability.
A huge increase, and then rely on one's greatly improved learning ability to master high-level extraordinary knowledge, and finally gain power through high-level knowledge.
Learning abilities from the "Desire" of the Abyss also has risks. As an analogy, the side effect of "Desire" power directly from the Abyss is 1000, so learning the ability of "Desire" from the Abyss has a side effect of about 50 to 80.
In order to dilute the side effects of 50 to 80%, the Abyss Contract has set up "restrictions" and "prices". After passing these two, the side effects will be reduced to the level of 1 to 3. Side effects of this level, ninth level and above
The body can completely metabolize it naturally. As long as this abyss contract is not used frequently, there will be no problems. Even the breath will not feel dark.
This exquisite layout was rudely destroyed. In order to obtain the power of the abyss more directly and in greater quantities through the abyss contract, the first-generation black hole Azler actually destroyed the "core threshold structure" of the contract to increase the output power.
, the level of intelligence of this behavior is no different from removing the transformer and touching the wires.
After careful inspection, Su Xiao found that the "Core Threshold Structure" had only been violently destroyed, not stripped off. He took out the contract engraving pen and tried to repair it. After a while, the entire abyss contract began to change, from the original black ink to
The base plate is black and the contract font is dark gold.
Su Xiao plans to use this abyss contract to "massively" improve her learning ability. Of course, she will use it temporarily every time she goes to the soul library. As for the "restrictions" and "costs".
The restrictions are: Do not use this object for a long time, do not use it for more than 48 hours at a time, do not use this contract to directly spy on the power of the abyss, do not desire the dark power at your fingertips, and do not fall into the abyss.
The price is: strong misfortune, moderate weakness, ten thousand times more pain, and strong spiritual vision.
The four costs are all serious, but they are not costs that always exist. Such a serious cost will only take effect after Su Xiao activates the gain of "Abyss Contract", and is ineffective normally.
This is an amazing design by the author of this contract. If he looks forward and backward and only sets "hundred times pain" and "malicious appetite" like a fanatic, because he gets too much and the price is not high enough, the price will turn into a "passive state"
”, it will always exist regardless of whether the Abyss Contract is in effect or not.
The price set by Su Xiao was too strong, and what he gained was only temporary learning ability, rather than direct and permanent power. As a result, the activation conditions for these costs were balanced by the contract into "active effects", and the abyss contract was not activated.
This active effect cannot be triggered.
As the saying goes, knowledge is power. This sentence is very true. If you blindly pursue power and do not master some knowledge, you will not know how to use the treasure after you obtain it.
After solving the Abyss Contract, Su Xiao opened the Book of Original Sin. After turning to the third page, she saw the "Scroll of Doom" on it. Compared with the first time they met, the "Scroll of Doom" seemed a little dry and wrinkled.
It seems to have no spirit. As a pseudo-original sin object, it really shouldn't be like this.
Su Xiao released the "Scroll of Doom". As soon as the "Scroll of Doom" was freed from its restraints, it was about to escape into the gap in space, but was strangled by translucent silk threads.
The "Scroll of Doom" was laid flat on the table. There were irregular signs of damage on the edges. Some vague names could be seen among the mottled marks on it. These were the names that had been written on the "Scroll of Doom".
, wanted to use this to strengthen his soul, but ended up being swallowed up by the "Scroll of Doom".
The method of using the "Scroll of Doom" is very simple. Su Xiao borrowed a pen from the Moon Witch and wrote the name Cukulin White Night on it. As for why he didn't write Su Xiao, he was not so arrogant.
As the name was written, the "Scroll of Misfortune" was activated reluctantly. In the following period, it will continue to impose misfortune on Su Xiao while increasing the strength of his soul until Su Xiao, as the holder, suffers from misfortune.
and die, or survive this stage.
This form of test has a total of five stages. Each stage imposes more misfortune and increases the strength of the soul. The holder has two endings. After five stages are completed, it ends with the "Scroll of Doom"
holding relationship, or die from bad luck.
An ominous light shone on the "Scroll of Doom", but the next second, the "Scroll of Doom" squirmed twice in pain and lay flat on the table.
Why is this so? This is because Su Xiao signed the name Cukulin Baiye. Of course, this name can represent him, but it also represents "Hunter", "Spell Destroyer", and "Five Original Sin Objects".
"The holder", "The holder of the Origin Stone World", "The sealer of the origin of death", among these identities, none of the causes and effects are simple.
In any case, the "Scroll of Doom" is just a pseudo-original sin object. It imposes bad luck on Su Xiao, which is equivalent to affecting the judgment of the paradise camp, the fortune of destruction, the five original sin causation, the death causation, and the origin stone of the world.
Chosen cause and effect, after enduring these things one after another, the "Scroll of Doom" tore apart with a tearing sound.
Not metaphorically, it cracked on the spot in a physical sense.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao looked solemnly, and immediately took out the solution made from the "Bud of Original Sin" and poured it on the "Scroll of Doom". With the addition of the characteristics of original sin, the "Scroll of Doom" was trembling.
Hang in there.
"The activation method of this pseudo-original sin object is really unique."
The Moon Witch spoke. She looked at the "Scroll of Doom" on the table. For some reason, she actually had the feeling that this pseudo-original sin object might break at any time. As soon as this thought came up, she denied it with a smile.
How could an artifact with original sin characteristics be so fragile?
In fact, Moon Witch's feeling is correct. The "Scroll of Doom" is just a pseudo-original sin object that is better than the "Ancient Mask". After suffering such a brutal causal beating just now, it almost collapsed, and the pseudo-original sin object and
The real original sin object is actually not in the same echelon, but the difference between the real original sin object and Big Daddy's original sin object is at least four to five echelons. Yes, it is such an exaggeration.
Su Xiao checked his soul strength and found that it had not increased, which made him secretly dissatisfied. This "Scroll of Doom" was quite famous, but after actually using it, not only did he have to worry about its cracking, but the effect was not as expected.
Strong, to say the least, the "Greedy Tree of Life" is easy to use. Not only is this thing hard-skinned, it is not picky about food. It can eat any weird thing and then produce life fruits of excellent quality.
Seeing the sluggish appearance of the "Scroll of Doom", Su Xiao did not reseal it back to the "Book of Original Sin". He estimated that if he really did this, this pseudo-original sin object might fall into an object of misfortune.
The spell shrouded in the office gradually receded, Su Xiao's purpose of coming here was basically achieved, and he also learned about the secret power of the Star Tower.
A very important point is that the "Astrology Disk" he is holding is the treasure of the Astrology Tower. It was previously held by the Death Witch Doro, a member of the Astrology Tower, but the Death Witch Doro was killed.
Later, the "Star Disk" was in the hands of the Dark Twins.
It felt more like letting the Dark Gemini temporarily keep the "Star Disk", only to be intercepted by Su Xiao.
After Su Xiao left the witch guild, he returned to Falling Star City via the teleportation tower. When he returned to the backyard of the city lord's mansion by car, it was already afternoon. He walked into the workshop and saw Alanna who was concentrating on reading ancient books. He asked:
"Ready?"
"Well, sir, please take off your shirt first and lie down here."
Alana put on the bottle-bottomed round-frame glasses, and then began to wear various auxiliary devices. She picked up a black metal armband through the robotic arm, clicked it on Su Xiao's upper arm, and gradually started the above
Sealing technique.
Su Xiao wants to further strengthen the seal on the Blade Demon. The Blade Demon's demon strength is currently 560 points. With such a high demon strength, there are signs of awakening not long after the killing spree.
Su Xiao took a nap last night, but suddenly fell into a dream. In the dream, the demon was behind him, arms wrapped around his left armpit and right shoulder, his hands were pressed on his chest, and his mouth was looming.
The low laughter, daring to be so bold, shows that the demon spirit has noticed that she is no longer suppressed by Su Xiao's soul power.
Click~, click~
A total of four metal arm rings were clasped on Su Xiao's left arm. After Alanna activated the sealing technique above, Su Xiao felt that his combat power had been suppressed. The peak was 100%, and now it is about 90
% to 92%, if you want to fully unleash your combat power, you only need to explode the body energy on your left arm to instantly shatter the four sealing rings on it.
The problem is that the creation of this sealing ring is not simple. Alanna, whose sealing level ranks among the top ten in all worlds, spent a lot of effort to create it. Therefore, when fighting with all her strength, it is better to be gentle and remove these sealing rings.
OK, it will take about 20 to 30 seconds to complete this process.
If you want to quickly and without destroying the sealing ring, there is indeed a way, which is to cut off the left arm with a knife.
The good news is that this sealing ring does not need to be worn for long. As long as he can return to the Paradise of Reincarnation with a full load this time, Su Xiao will find a way to increase his soul strength. In addition, with the continuous improvement of the "Scroll of Doom", his soul strength should reach 1000 points.
It's not difficult, and then we can proceed to the last part of the soul trial, the soul king trial.
While Alanna was perfecting the sealing ring beside him, Su Xiao, who closed his eyes and rested, began to think about the follow-up plan. Before dealing with the black hole Azler, he had been in Falling Star City. Now he has reached the third ring of the mission. The core area should be three
Sky City, one of the major cities.
Sky City is much more dangerous than Starfall City. It is ancient and weird. The probability of wizards turning malignant is as high as 30%. This is based on statistics from earlier years. It is said that the probability of wizards turning malignant in Sky City now reaches 60%.
Su Xiao has been in the witch world for more than ten days, but he has never encountered a wizard who has undergone a "malignant transformation", a "crazy sequence" or a "filthy sequence". Now it seems that there will be no shortage of such enemies in the future.
"Sir Bai Ye, you have been so busy recently, you must not have had a good sleep."
After checking the sealing ring, Alanna spoke. After hearing this, Su Xiao opened her eyes, not knowing what Alanna meant.
"Sir Baiye, I mean..." At this point, Alanna's cheeks turned red and she continued shyly: "I have developed a sleep aid. Do you want to try it?"
While talking, Alanna quickly came to a machine covered by a thick cloth and pulled off the thick cloth.
Seeing this sleep aid, Su Xiao stood up quietly, put on his long leather coat and walked out. No matter how much Alana recommended and praised the sleep aid along the way, he was not moved at all. That thing, alone
It looks more sinister.
If you want to go to Sky City, you can't take the space tower. There are multiple space restrictions there. Before figuring out the situation, Su Xiao is not going to use the "Destruction Teleportation Array" to go there, so as not to alarm the enemy, so he must first go to the nearby "Xigol"
River" Night City, and then take a boat to Sky City.
In the teleportation tower, the space fluctuations gradually subsided. I looked at the time and saw that it was already midnight. At this time, it was safer to contact Lucius, the second master of White Bull. As expected, ten minutes later, Lucius's men sent six ships
Tickets are delivered.
The full moon is reflected in the water, and the whistle of the luxury cruise ship reaches my ears. As the giant cruise ship sets sail, the brightly lit night city gradually fades away.
After boarding the cruise ship, Serene was in the best mood. She was hooking up with a young woman in the casino. Eminem was feasting in the restaurant. Baja was squatting on the signal transmitter above, enjoying the sea breeze. Bubu was amazing.
While swimming in the sea, this idiot suddenly got inspiration and wanted to do a handstand to release water, but ended up falling into the sea.
The cool night breeze blew slowly, and Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the spacious deck. At this moment, a figure in a black robe came over and sat in an informal sitting posture a few meters away from him. The person's hands were wrapped in bandages.
Crossing his fingers, he looked at Lidya Su with a pair of dark eyes.
