Section 20 Undercurrent One
() "Oh~!! Oh my god~~!! Grandpa nainai grandpa and grandma~!!!"
Inside a brand-new villa in the Purple Garnet community, a scream like a slaughtering pig suddenly came out, which immediately frightened several canaries in the garden. The sound was made by a girl.
Liuliqin was lying on a soft couch with a mournful face. The black feather skirt on her body had been carefully taken off by Louis. It could be clearly seen that her originally fair and tender arms and calves were almost swollen.
, and there were bruises visible to the naked eye on her waist and back. Obviously, this was some kind of physical damage caused by extreme exercise that exceeded her body's endurance. No wonder she let out such an embarrassing howl in pain.
Crystal Ling, who was barely sitting still, wasn't much better. Like Liuliqin, she was trained hard by Felina for a whole day, and she wasn't even allowed to eat lunch. But she couldn't be angry with the characters she wrote.
, but now I have scolded Felina, the older leftover girl, in my heart to the point where her ancestral graves are almost smoking.
Ten thousand leg presses, three thousand push-ups, and eight thousand waist twists. After accumulating so many times, these three monotonous movements brought an amazing amount of exercise, which naturally caused unimaginable fatigue.
and battle damage.
What kind of training is that? It is clearly torturing them to death. If it weren't for the pain all over the body now, Crystal Ling is sure that she must have fainted from exhaustion. What's even more hateful is that Felina, a bt girl, is still holding a ring ruler from time to time during the training process.
When beating them, as a swordswoman, she was very measured. She could not only hurt Crystal Bell and Liuliqin so much that they did not dare to be lazy, but also would not leave any traces.
Gritting her teeth to keep her face expressionless, Crystal Ling was afraid that if she couldn't help but scream in pain when she opened her mouth, she would be completely embarrassed. After all, Liuliqin was also the protagonist in the original work, and it was recorded that she killed after unsealing the Sword of Destruction.
He was ruthless in his decision-making, and now he has been tortured to such a miserable state.
"Ah...I must be dead...but I haven't discovered it yet..."
Liuliqin, who was lying on the soft couch with dark eyes, murmured to herself, which immediately made Louis on the side dumbfounded. But after seeing the bruises on the other person's body, he also knew that Liuliqin had suffered a lot today. Fortunately,
In this world of magic and martial arts, there is no need to worry about injuries and medicine.
"Second Miss, I'll give you some medicine. You'll be fine the next day after applying this blood-stasis-removing ointment."
Unscrewing an emerald vial in his hand, Louis carefully applied the dark green ointment inside to the swollen parts of Liuliqin's body, but this contact made Liuliqin scream in pain. Seeing this scene, Crystal Ling said no
It's impossible to feel distressed. Even if one of your own pets is tormented to this extent by others, you will feel uncomfortable. What's more, Liuliqin is the protagonist she has carefully created by her own hand. Even if they are not a mother-daughter relationship, they are almost sisters.
"Oh, bear with it, Liuli. I'll ask the school to change the teacher tomorrow. It's not like the older leftover girl is the only teacher."
Looking at the pitiful Liuliqin in front of her with consolation, Crystal Ling sighed slightly. Although she knew that she had to go through hard work before she could become a capable person, Feilina's rigorous training was the best way to ensure that they gained strength quickly, but there was something to be eaten in the process.
It’s really a bit of a pain…
It would be nice if I could do a little more...for example, learn some healing techniques or something...or, no matter what, I could share a little bit of Liulicin's pain. Well, if I only share a little bit, I should be able to do it...
While he was thinking wildly, Crystal Ling discovered that some strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the air around him, like countless light spots emerging from the air. They were like shining fish floating in the sea, and
Like stars floating in the night sky, the entire hall was illuminated.
element!!
This thought flashed through Crystal Ling's mind like lightning, and judging from these light points, what gathered around her body were the light elements that were compatible with her constitution. Light symbolizes redemption and sacrifice, and represents purity.
and goodwill, so they are the power that priests and paladins believe in and rely on most. They can not only be used to treat all injuries, but also purify all evil and filth.
However, the heart that can attract the light element has always been the kindness and tolerance of others in human nature. Just like the sun, it selflessly and compassionately bestows light on the earth from beginning to end, but never asks for the slightest return.
"Hello?...Are you okay?"
Even though her body was in severe pain, Liuliqin still held herself up and looked at the crystal bell surrounded by a layer of light curtain. Somehow, she always felt that the layer of light curtain was particularly dazzling and hot in her eyes.
Giving her the urge to extinguish them.
Idiot, who wants the sacrifice of others? If you have to rely on the sacrifice of others to survive, then this life is meaningless!
Quite suddenly, several memory fragments flashed through Liuliqin's mind. The scenes that seemed to have never been recalled again were now like darkness under the light with nowhere to hide.
Just like the light elements appearing around the crystal bell, a ripple visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared around Liuliqin's body. They seemed to be shadow entities rising from the air, as if the surrounding air was also included.
It turned into a thick and cold darkness, shrouding Liuliqin's body in an area like a gas shield.
This is the dark element that is opposite to the light element. Pure darkness symbolizes destruction and engulfment, chaos and rejection, but its most fundamental principle is the desperate pursuit of certain things.
Louis, who stepped aside, could not hide his worried look, but the Key of Truth hanging on his chest shone brightly, transmitting some silent words into his mind, signaling him not to disturb him.
Anyone with a violet harp or a crystal bell.
This is the most fundamental and unavoidable entanglement between light and darkness, and the choice of truth is just to acquiesce in the coexistence of the two.
…
…
Under the cover of night, Lamansi City relied on advanced magic technology to make the entire city brightly lit. Inside a castle located at the highest point of the city, a tall middle-aged man was looking at the city through the window.
, and he is the lord of this city, also the seventy-eighth head of the Lamans family, Orlonte.
"Father…"
Ariel pushed open the door and came in. She came here specially in response to her father's summons. The other people in the room looked at her at the same time when she came in, with doubts or exploration in their eyes.
Looking for a secret in her.
"Lil, are you nervous about your schoolwork recently?"
With a gentle smile, Orlonte showed unreserved love for his eldest daughter. However, because of this, he also knew that he had to ask clearly about this matter. That is, how did this daughter find Phoenix?
of feathers.
"I'm not nervous. Father, did you ask me to come for something?"
Ariel, who was wearing a navy blue dress, answered Orlonte's words respectfully, but it seemed that several people in the room were very impatient with their conversation. One of them, a stern-faced young man in black, spoke in a cold tone.
Mouth: "Miss, to be honest, we really want to know where you found that phoenix feather. Do you understand what we mean?"
The young man in black who dared to interrupt Orlont was the president of the Mages Association of Lamansi City - Aldelon Augusius. His actual age has reached a full sixty years old, but due to his
He practices bloodline magic, so he looks like a teenage boy.
This sentence made Ariel's expression stiffen for a moment, and her memory returned to that afternoon again. After she said goodbye to Liuliqin and her group, it seemed like God's will. It didn't take long for her to suddenly find a stick.
The complex and gorgeous patterns on the black feathers hanging on a tree by the roadside are undoubtedly exactly the same as those of the legendary phoenix.
After hurriedly returning to Lamansi City with the feather, she ground the feather and blended it into water and poured it into the dying Lord Orlont, and the other man's body instantly escaped death as if he had been reborn.
of shackles.
"I have made it very clear that I found it on the trees in the wilderness of Phoenix... If you don't believe it, you can go find it yourself."
While frowning slightly, Ariel also repeated her words again. In these few short days, she had been asked countless times. Now she finally vaguely understood the consequences of her overly public behavior at that time.
With serious consequences, countless people who longed for immortality emerged from the dark abyss like sharks smelling the smell of blood. What caught their attention was the recovered Lord Orlont and her, who claimed to have found the phoenix feather.
The eldest daughter of the lord.
"Even if this is true, it is still too unconvincing as a fact... Miss, it's not that we want to embarrass you, but this matter is actually a bit too serious. Can you please elaborate on that afternoon?
Have you encountered anything else?"
Another young man in a knight's armor also spoke. He is the knight leader Amans Augustius who is responsible for leading the entire city protection knights in this city. He is Aldelon's younger brother. Compared with his
Deputy Chief. Tai's eldest brother, he is more cautious and attentive.
"...I did meet a few people on the way to search for the Phoenix. They claimed to be members of the Phoenix family...I once asked them about the whereabouts of the Phoenix, but they said they had not encountered any trace of the Phoenix..."
After being silent for a period of time, Ariel finally revealed the fact that she had met Liuliqin and her group, and these words caused a flash of thoughtfulness to appear on Aldelon's pale face: "Phoenix? This is
The alias of the Phoenix. You mean... when you rushed to the Phoenix wilderness to look for the Phoenix, you met a noble family calling themselves the Phoenix family, and then, not long after you said goodbye, you found the Phoenix feather?"
Even an ordinary person can feel that something is obviously wrong from this passage. The Phoenix family emerged from the Phoenix wilderness? Then the tail feathers of the Phoenix appeared. Even a fool can imagine that this Phoenix family has the most direct influence.
suspicion.
"The Phoenix family...if I remember correctly, this is a small nobleman who was just registered within the city-state the day before yesterday..."
As the leader of the City Guard Knights, Amans is obviously very aware of the families who have settled in the city, but this also makes him have some doubts, because it is a bit too obvious. This family arrogantly named themselves
Phoenix seems to be afraid that others will not know that his family may be related to Phoenix, which makes him a little unsure. After taking human form and entering human society, looking at it this way, maybe the Phoenix family is just an ordinary human noble?
