Chapter 964: Crystal Illusion
When Lu Xi broke free from the spiritual illusion, in the real world, it was only five minutes later, but in his opinion, it seemed as if centuries had passed. An empire that rises and thrives in that dreamlike world, but also declines and destroys. The memories in that world are so illusory, so shattered, as if they were a long dream, but they are more than just dreams.
"Thank you very much for your advice!" Lu Xi was sweating profusely and exhausted, but he still bent down silently and sincerely bowed to Miss Firatir to thank him.
"It's also your own ability. Obviously, it was in my own field, but I suffered a lot of losses as a result, and this is the first time in a thousand years. Miss Firatil smiled and said, "The realm just now is a simulated subspace created by my spiritual power, and I named it the Crystal Illusion, an ability that I have spent hundreds of years developing, but now it is far from perfect. I'm now figuring out how to tinker and improve it every day. Ten years ago, it took Hurricane nearly a day to free himself from this illusion, and now, ten years later, it only took you five minutes to face a more complete crystal environment. Proud enough. ”
"She was only ten years old at the time! Whether it is mental power, magic power, or actual combat experience, it is far from being comparable to the current me. If I had been ten years old, I might have been trapped in it by you. Lu Xi smiled helplessly.
"Don't be polite to me, Lu Xijun." Miss Firatil shook her hand: "You have just felt that the abilities that an individual possesses in the real world, whether it is magic, mental power, physique, or even knowledge, are meaningless in that world that moves with my heart. Whether or not they can gain a foothold in that world, become stronger, and finally break free from the shackles ultimately depends on their will, determination, and imagination. To put it bluntly, it does not depend on your current strength, but on the strength you may achieve in the future. I've used this illusion trick to trick Derens before, and guess how long it took him to figure it out? ”
"Three days and three nights!" Without waiting for Lu Xi to answer, the Night Elf couldn't help but laugh: "Drens, at that time. Powerful, arrogant, unscrupulous, self-believing that he is the center of the world, and his own tragedy does not originate from himself, but from the exclusion and malice of the whole world. If it weren't for the blow from my crystal environment, he might have already embarked on a path of no return from which he could never turn back, right? ”
"Yes, I really thank you for teaching Uncle Shi." The tone of these words is probably similar to "The unfilial son bothered you to teach", "The unfilial son has caused you trouble", and it is naturally awkward to hear it from Lu Xi, the younger generation of Derens. However, it is not himself who is ashamed anyway. Naturally, this is said with deep affection.
"Also, according to what you mean......"
"Little Wind's talent is stronger than that of Drenth, and his heart is far more than that, and his future achievements are naturally beyond his ability." Firatir said: "Of course, Lu Xi, you are the same!" I haven't seen Orucello though? But he's sure he's proud of you right now. ”
Hehehehe...... Being so frankly praised by such a beautiful big sister. Even with Lu Xi's shame, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Is there a determination not to be bound by the common sense in front of you? Whether you have the determination to change the world will determine your future ceiling! Equally, he's the most powerful weapon against the crystal environment, and even all the illusion and psychic masters you might encounter in the future! Firatil smiled slightly: "At least your imagination is breathtaking." People with this kind of imagination have an uninhibited heart. There is also a determination to change the world. With such a you, even if you encounter an existence like Belat Mea in the future, it shouldn't be that you don't have a fight. ”
“…… No, it should be said, thankfully I met you before I met someone like Belat Mea. It gave me a clear idea of how far the real illusion could go, and I also knew how to truly build stronger mental power and soul defense. If I had met Belat Mea, I would have died a very ugly death. Lu Xi smiled bitterly, then glanced at the other party deeply, and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "That, Sister Filatir, who knows your true strength and true identity, what about those people?" ”
"No one, including my husband and children, as a woman, sometimes you have to pretend to be confused and save a little face for your husband. Of course, Drance knows my strength, but he doesn't know who I am. Firatir smiled: "Little Wind Ice and Snow is smart, maybe I guessed a little." However, who else has really guessed the whole picture, except for you, the little ghost who made me suffer for the first time in a thousand years? ”
“…… Well, can you ask, who was that last time? ”
"Who else? Who else but your grandmother, the scheming she-fox of Laxis? Firatil pursed his lips, seemingly sarcastic, but the remembrance in his tone and expression could not be more obvious: "Speaking of which, you kid is very similar to her, can't you really be her descendant?" ”
"You mean...... Looks? ”
"How is that possible, I mean the feeling and the image. That she-fox doesn't have your conspicuous dark hair and ink pupils, and in terms of pure appearance and facial features, you are a little more beautiful than her. The Night Elf said.
Thank you, but I'm not happy at all.
"Then, take your token." Firatir handed over the fragments of the amulet, and showed a narrow smile: "The last one is in the hands of the outer son." He's been only one step away from the gate of the Dao lately, so you've been in retreat in the reef waves at the South Point for the past few months, so you have to be careful. Maybe in order to break through, he will take you who happened to be sent to the door as the object of the sword test. ”
(System: Get token fragments, reward experience points 5000, and task completion 3/4.) )
"Also, take this." Miss Night Elf took out another box and sent it over: "You and Little Wind are basically in a relationship, right?" As her godmother, I can't afford not to say anything about it. ”
Lu Xi opened it and saw that it was a box of pearls of various colors, white, pink, black, and gold. They are warm and delicate and have a beautiful shape. Although it does not have the dazzling and showy of those expensive gemstones, it is also soft and full of charm.
"You also know that cultured pearls, whether they are used as tonics, herbs or magic items, are far less effective than natural pearls. But. Didn't I say that? My goal was to artificially grow a pearl puller that was better than Calgary's natural pearls, and that was the first batch of goods. She laughed, "You can show it to the wind." There is no greater authority to measure the value of an item than you arcane spellcasters who are proficient in alchemy. ”
The Four Heavenly Kings are really people full of positive energy! Although they are all retired, they are not idle. Mr. Orc runs a ranch, Mr. Wingman runs a flying club, and Miss Night Elf runs a pearl farm, all of which are actually starting a second business and contributing to the world's GDP and employment rate. Even if it's already sunset red, it's extraordinarily beautiful. Even the one who hasn't met in the end. Since he will find a small island to retreat, it shows that he still has a sense of dedication, at least he wants to understand the truth, and the heart of the strong man who goes to that world to see it still has not faded.
In this case, the most wasteful and unprofessional person should be Uncle Derens, right? Although he claims to have been engaged in demonic research, it seems that he wants to leave a strong mark in the field and history of this kind of productivity that changes the world, hoping to overwhelm his senior brother with this. However, Mr. Orucello's guidance has become the driving force and hope for the change of the world. In addition to wasting a lot of manpower, material resources, money, and time, Uncle Derens can't come up with any reliable research on eggs.
What a sad life! A proper template for the protagonist of the literary and young abuse. Lu Xi thought. If you put yourself in the position of your uncle, you may already want to kill yourself to thank the world and this cruel fate.
Lu Xi returned to the Hope at the same time, and by the way, he bought a set of flower cards and some snacks in the shops on the dock, and just stepped on the last bit of sunset and boarded the boat. And just as he had expected, Miss Madoka not only helped him take his place, but she was also surrounded by an additional man with long dark gray hair. A girl of the same age with a pair of dark blue pupils.
This is also a beautiful girl who can score more than 80 points, with a dignified and beautiful face, a slender and slender figure, wearing a black, white and gray dress, and a black ribbon on the collar. Although this girl is dressed in a relatively cool tone, it is generally on the cool side. But the overall temperament is still very gentle and pure, but it has the taste of a daughter with a strict family education.
"This is my best friend at school, Hermila, Hermila? Ekham. ”
"Just call me Hemila. Miss Lucy. She stood up, smiled softly, and saluted Lu Xi.
Hemila is also a student at the College of Maritime University and, like Madoka, travels home to visit family during the holidays. She is the mayor of Rhodes Town, and the daughter of the largest pearl farmer in the area, and she also has a lot of background in the family, and she herself can indeed be regarded as an eldest lady. Of course, in the eyes of the wealthy families in the city of Neosfia, this kind of pearl raising on the outer islands is just a nouveau riche who is the first generation of mud-legged monkeys.
If you want to improve the quality of the family, you can only find ways to drill into the circle of "high society", no matter what kind of method.
With this in mind, Miss Hemila's father sent her to the most prestigious school in the city, and even supported her in going on to university. Of course, this is not expecting a female scholar to come out of the family, but expecting his daughter to hang a golden beetle son-in-law with a very family background. Miss Hermila, however, did not think so. She is very confident in her knowledge and mind, and firmly believes that as long as she has the opportunity to further her education, she will definitely be able to use her own ability to break through her own world in the capital of the seven seas, which is both heaven and hell.
All the above information was taken out by Lu Xi from the mouths of the two little girls. It only takes a few minutes for Lu Xi to turn two girls who have known each other for less than twelve hours into "good friends" who talk about everything. Of course, on the other hand, he also inexplicably listened to Miss Hemila complain a lot, some of which were for his family, some of the grievances he received at school, and his expectations and confusion for the future, and the other party seemed to completely regard Lu Xi as a bosom big sister.
"Really, really sorry! I've been talking to myself since just now, and I've been talking so much about myself, Miss Lucy must be annoyed, right? Miss Hemila said with some embarrassment: "Although it is the first time we have met, I always feel that we have known each other for a long time." ”
"Heh~~~ I always have a place to talk about the boredom in my heart, can I say it and feel much better?" Lu Xi shrugged: "Moreover, being able to listen to the troubles of beautiful girls, I personally actually enjoy this process." ”
"Really, Miss Lucy, why do you always like to talk to those salty uncles?" Madoka said helplessly: "It's obviously such a beautiful eldest lady, doesn't this look too frivolous?" ”
"If it's really a salty and wet uncle, it's frivolous, and it can even be regarded as obscene. But because I'm a handsome and beautiful woman! Such willfulness, such a black belly, this can be understood as chic and uninhibited. Lu Xi smiled and said: "This is a world of faces, and I am standing at the top of this world." ”
The two ****** looked at each other, saying that they had never seen such a brazen person in their lives, but they felt that what the other party said was really reasonable, and they were completely speechless.
Lu Xi took out the cards he had just bought from Rhodes Town and shuffled them up with skillful movements: "Okay, let's put the troubles behind you first, and life must still be happy." It's still a little time to sleep, do you want to play with me? ”
"Miss Lucy used to play this a lot?" Hemila watched in surprise as Lu Xi refined the delicate shuffling action, and couldn't help but ask. In her opinion, those who can shuffle cards can shuffle this kind of trick, and they should all be professional gamblers who cheat money in bars.
"Because I'm a bad guy." Lu Xi smiled and shrugged.
These two "high school" girls are honor students worthy of the pride of their parents, the love of their teachers, and the envy of their classmates, but they are not so nerdy that they can't even play flower cards. Of course, people are certainly reluctant to participate in gambling. Fortunately, Lu Xi was prepared and took out a large handful of colorful pebbles as chips temporarily, which allowed the game to continue.
By nearly 12 o'clock in the evening, the two girls had won a lot. With their ingenuity, they naturally guessed that it was Lu Xi who was letting them release water, but they had a lot of fun.
"Alright, girls, it's game over. It's time to rest, tomorrow is another day! "When the end of the cabin was 12 o'clock, the bell began to ring. Lu Xi immediately put away the cards, said goodnight to each other with the two girls, and prepared to rest.
It is said to be resting, but it is impossible for the passengers in the third class to have beds, so they can only lean back on their chairs and make do with a night of sleeping. This kind of scene reminded Lu Xi of the green car and hard seat in his hometown, and he suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.
Of course, we all know that sitting and sleeping is actually not good at resting. So Lu Xi cast a requiem on the two girls who were leaning together and had just closed their eyes, so that they could at least sleep well. Only then did he slowly close his eyes, let himself empty his mind, and entered a meditative state.
In Miss Firatir's "Crystal Illusion", she has used up too much physical strength and magic power, even more than she consumed during the Battle of Black Man. If you don't recover well, you won't have the capital to face the last of the Four Heavenly Kings tomorrow.
Of course, he can also solve this problem with the all-in-one big upgrade technique. However, now it's not pushing the boss, you need to instantly regain blood to trick people, so why waste experience points? (To be continued.) )
