Chapter Ninety-Eight
Even if alchemy life can barely be said to be a creature, no matter how vivid your form is, please don't forget what kind of material you are made of, Miss! How can a metal body lay eggs! It's like an all-metal robot is pregnant with a human child!
Immediately, he came to his senses, could this be the activation of the Devouring Growth special effect, which happened to trigger that extremely small probability? Could it be that he accidentally inhaled the European gas of a certain big guy when he was wandering around the trading area just now?
Two Normal-tier Shop Items for a Minimum Elite Item? What a deal!
So Ann pointed and looked at Hela expectantly, as if she had seen a golden egg...... Ah, ravens. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Master, don't look at me like that, a little shy"
Hela covered her body with her wings and said writhingly:
"It's okay to turn around, don't look at it"
ββ¦β¦β
Well, if you don't look, you don't watch.
In fact, An Yizhi is still quite curious, he has never seen birds lay eggs with his own eyes when he is so big, let alone how to lay 'equipment'.
Turning around, he fantasized about the equipment he hadn't yet arrived.
It would be nice if it was a staff, and I just happened to be short of a weapon that I could use. Later, when I thought about it, with the size of a raven, it was indeed terrifying enough to give birth to a staff more than half a human height. With her size, the best outcome would be a crystal ball or a magic gem or something.
Just as he was crooked, Ann heard the sound of a heavy object falling on the table with a 'tom', and quickly turned his head.
"Raw? Show me."
"Yikes! I hate it, people aren't ready"
Miss Hella screamed, and was so angry that she jumped to Ann's shoulder and pecked him lightly through her robe.
The latter didn't care, and picked up the things on the table with a smile on his face.
It was a jewel like amber, pale yellow like tea soup all over, and it was warm to the touch. The interior is slightly blurred, as if a shadow is sealed inside.
Just as An Yizhi was about to check the attributes, the amber in his palm suddenly burst out with an extremely strong light, stabbing him unable to open his eyes, his hand was light, and then there was a sound similar to glass breaking.
When An Yizhi regained his sight, he saw a slender figure sitting on a desk with his back to the window with his eyes closed......
"Nydia ......?"
It was Nitya, who had been a temporary teammate in the last difficult dungeon.
How could she be here? No, the premise is, how could she be born by my demons?
"Hmm......"
Perhaps hearing her name, Nitya gradually regained consciousness, slowly opened her eyes, and saw a confused Ann Yizhi.
"What is this .......? Ann a finger!? β
Nydia, who was in a daze, suddenly looked panicked, and there was no trace of blood on her beautiful face.
"Hela, what's going on?"
"Miss Ben doesn't know either...... Wait a minute, let me check the database."
Hela stopped motionless on Ann's shoulder, knowing that she was retrieving data, and Ann turned to look at Nitya:
"What do you remember?"
Hearing Ann's question, Nitya paused for a moment, and said with a frightened expression:
"IβI don't know! Is Nikolai, Nikolai here? β
Nikolai? Is there anything else about Nikolai here? Does Nitya know him?
Just wondering, Hela on her shoulder found something, and spoke:
"According to Miss Ben's records before activation, she was sealed by Master Nikolai with the Gem Sealing Technique, and then put it into my body with her own hands, and set up a simple mechanism that will be triggered when Miss Ben finishes her first meal"
That is, the fantasy equipment flew?
Now is not the time to say this, it is rare for An Yizhi to think that he is possessed by the Emperor of Europe once, so it seems that he is really still an American who has made miracles (krypton......
"Nikolai..... uh, why did the teacher put her in your body?"
"It's related to a comment, I need to search for another subsection. But ......"
Hela dragged a long tone, whetting the appetite of others:
"You've seen her before, well, before me"
The second half of the sentence is a little sour, yes, this demon is still a little jealous.
"Of course we did, we took the Stellar Tower exam together"
"No, it's earlier than that"
It's still early?
Lao Tzu has only been playing this game for less than a week, how could it be earlier?
"You're going to keep pretending? Put away her clumsy acting skills, second-rate actress Nitya"
Hela looked at Nitya meaningfully:
"Homon Kurus, she is an artificial human made by Master Nikolai, according to Miss Ben's database, Master Nikolai once took her master to visit her who is in cultivation."
Hearing Hela's words, Ann Yizhi remembered that when he was in the level 5 growth dungeon, he had seen a woman in the 'crystal coffin' in Nikolai's laboratory, and that was Nitya?
Can't blame him for not recognizing it, who made Nitya uncovered at that time, under the harmony of the system gods, it was simply a humanoid mosaic. An Yizhi can only tell that she is a woman, as for what she looks like? If you can see clearly, there will be ghosts.
"That's right, I'm an android. This ......"
Nitya said calmly, her gaze turning to Ann's shoulder.
"Hela, the name the owner gave me"
"Miss Hela, she's right"
"I think you should explain it all from beginning to end."
Nitya is an android, so how did she fool the others? John had said that he knew Nitya, a classmate who graduated from the same magic academy, and even though she was in the next class, he was a little impressed.
Could it be that the speed of time in the quest world is very different from that in the overworld? Not long ago, the newbie dungeon has been many years old for the NPCs of that world?
No, this would again contradict the information provided by John.
John once mentioned that Ann Yizhi went to work as a traveling mage for two years after graduation. Therefore, the plot of the newbie dungeon should be activated when 'An Yizhi' was a traveling mage, and it is not too far from the date of the Star Tower Trial. What's more, everyone in the Academy of Magic had already graduated at that time, and it was impossible for Nitya to blend in with the graduates.
The time is not right!
Stroking her hair, Nitya spoke:
"Where do you start...... Let's start with you, Ann Yizhi, after you leave Nikolai's laboratory."
She smiled, but anyone could see the bitterness in her smile:
"At that time, Nikolai instilled some basic common sense in me, and he put me outside, trying to integrate me into human society, but I ...... Can't do it."
It is not difficult to imagine how confused a little girl who only has basic common sense and doesn't even know what her name is.
"Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going? Every day I have to keep asking myself."
Look at what this said, don't talk about you, no one on the whole planet can figure it out. If you can really understand it, the real group of philosophers are not all kneeling collectively.
Not noticing the complaint in Ann's heart, Nitya continued:
"I was forced to wander aimlessly, feeding my hunger with wild fruits and mushrooms along the way, and when I was sleepy, I climbed a tree to sleep, and once I fell and was almost taken by a wild beast"
"Wait, how do you know which wild fruit you can eat?"
A lot of wild fruits and mushrooms are poisonous, this kid has eaten it all the way and didn't die.
Hela interjected:
"In the cognition of the Nikolai masters, the illustrated book of plants and trees belongs to the basic common sense ......"
An Yi fingered: "......"
Xuezhu really can't understand what Xueba is thinking......
Frustrated, he gestured to Nitya to continue.
"Later, I found a small mountain village, and I tried to get closer, trying to beg them to take me in."
I'm afraid, that's the village of Andora.
"I met someone there who looked exactly like me, a travel mage named Nitya, who had traveled and gained knowledge."
'Nitya' laughed at herself, "Even the name is borrowed from someone else, I probably shouldn't really exist."
"Hmph, I want to win sympathy again, I didn't have a name at the beginning, don't you live a good life?"
"Miss Hela, you have a master, unlike me......"
Miss Demon wanted to say something, but after seeing An Yizhi make a stop gesture, she turned her head angrily and ignored him, until An Yizhi rubbed her little head, and then turned her anger into joy.
Nitya looked at Hela enviously and muttered in a low voice:
"If only I had been created as a demon......
"Don't interrupt, what's next?"
"Next...... I don't know very well. Suddenly I had memories of Nitya, including all her little habits. She was also surprised to see me, and thought I was her father's illegitimate daughter outside."
Is it really just a coincidence? No, eighty percent of them are Niko's ghosts.
"We spent a few days together, and she said she was going to take me back to my father for questioning. But ......"
"She's dead, isn't she?"
"That's right, as Ann pointed out to you, she's dead. Dead at the hands of demons"
Demon?
"On the day we set off, an abyss portal suddenly opened on the outskirts of the village, and countless demons poured out of it, and Nitya fought to the death to protect me...... I don't know what happened next, but when I came to my senses, I only found this in the ruins of the village."
She pulled out the fist-sized crystal ball:
"I found no trace of anyone other than this, no demons, no Nitya"
"And then you pretended to be Nitya and infiltrated the trials of the Tower of the Stars, where you were caught by Nikolai?"
"Hmmm......"
Ann glanced at Hela covertly, and it happened that the latter also looked over. The two little eyes were full of 'unbelief'.
This coincides with Ann's thoughts, Ni...... Let's call her Nydia.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like a problem.
But if one day there is a guy who looks exactly like himself and has the same memory as himself, An Yizhi's first reaction must be to pick up the heavy object at hand and smash it over to see if anyone is playing a bad joke on him.
As for being as friendly as in the story, and sacrificing oneself for others? Don't be funny.
Okay, Ann Yizhi is indeed a bit self-conscious, maybe the original Nitya has less brains?
Another big question is, how did she escape, and why did the whole village and the original Nitya disappear? Demons kill only to obtain souls, and are not very interested in the flesh. It's like if you just ate a full Han feast, do you still drool over the skewers at the street food stalls?
Also, why did she come to the trials of the Tower of the Stars? Just because she has the memories of Nitya?
It can be seen that there must be something hidden in her words, and even the whole story is made up by her.
"Found it, Miss Ben's database has a recording left by Master Nikolai, does the master want to listen to it?"
"Let's put it out and hear it"
I noticed that Nydia's expression was stiff, and her fingers holding the crystal ball were a little white. Even if he hadn't studied psychology or anything like that, Yasuchi knew it was a sign of nervousness.
"Ah, audition"
Nikolai's voice came out of Hela's mouth:
"My student, you may well be confused by now why I sent ..... Nytia to you. You're going to be wondering, 'Is this old man's brain funny?'
Stupidly looked elsewhere, and was really guessed by the madman, that's what he thought.
"Hehe, a choice, a choice that I can't decide, and I'm going to let you help me make a choice. Accompanying the recording is a special spell, if you choose to pronounce the spell, Nitya's personality will be reset and only the combat skills will be retained, she will obey any orders you give unconditionally, and you will get an extremely loyal retinue, I think that will be very helpful for your adventures, well, in every sense"
Ann pointed to Nitya's wonderful figure, 'in every sense' is really a good word. The premise is that if there is no systematic light of harmony and Lin Linglin's invincible iron fist......
The recording continues:
"At the same time, I will also learn about how she evolved from a 'flawed alchemical life' to a very close human soul through the spells left on Nitya's body, which will help my research somewhat."
Hearing this, Nitya looked at Ann with a look of horror, for fear that he would recite the incantation.
"Of course, there is another option. You can set Nitya free, and for me, it's better for her to keep growing until she has a true soul someday, but it won't do you any good. My dear student Ann Yizhi, please don't blame the teacher for throwing the choice to you, you know, I don't have much time to be sober...... Master, there's another spell at the back, do you want to play it together? β
Hela asked, pointing at Ann, and Nitya waited desperately for her fateful choice.
If before the last dungeon, An Yizhi would not hesitate at all when he encountered this kind of thing, and he was envious of the nurse Lalatina beside the original grass for a long time, and the players knew very well that whether it was leveling or going down the dungeon, there was a nurse by his side, and the success rate had skyrocketed by half.
But......
Jescord's words still ringed in his ears.
'What is reality?' β
'What is false?' β
Perhaps, I really should change my attitude towards the game?
'Look, like I said, it tastes so good, sometimes you just have to try it'
Looking at Nitya in despair, Ann pointed out that she couldn't think of her as a program, a piece of code written by humans.
Alas, I hope that good people will be rewarded, speaking of which the luck of the brave invincible goods seems to be very good.
Thinking so, he said to Nitya:
"You're Free"
The latter couldn't believe it, his beautiful eyes widened, and his anger and vitality returned to that pretty face.
"You, you ......"
"I said, you're free, I'm not going to call you like a slave, or are you willing to do that?"
"Nope! I am, I ....."
The joy of the rest of her life after the catastrophe made her a little incoherent, panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you Ann a finger."
She jumped down from the table, hugged An Yizhi and kissed her face hard:
"Thank you so much."
Lingling probably won't eat NPC vinegar, right?
An Yizhi has never seen Lin Linglin jealous, no way, who made him a dead middle school with no female popularity, Lin Linglin has no place to eat if he wants to be jealous......
"Can you help me one more time?"
"Huh?"
"Use this crystal for me, it has the power to travel through planes, and hopefully it will take me to a plane farther away from Nikolai"
With Nikolai's strength, I think no matter where he escapes, he can easily find you, as long as he wants to......
This must be clear to Nitya, and Ann didn't say much when she pointed at it, but the former handed over something.
It was a translucent crystal, about the size of a thumb, pale blue, and when you looked at it, there seemed to be countless stars circulating inside.
"Don't stare at it, it will lose its mind"
I don't need to look at it with my eyes, I use the system to see the total line, right?
γCrossover Crystalγ
Quality: Consumables
Effect: Specifies that a creature is exiled to another plane suitable for that creature, and when the target creature resists, the effect will be offset.
Description: A creation that once belonged to Actima, the god of space, as a reward for believers. Later, Aktima fell, the production method was lost, and the surviving number is scarce.
Seeing this attribute, An Yizhi suddenly had the urge to regret it.
Think about it, if you run into a tricky monster, you can clean it up with just this thing, it's a good thing to kill in one hit.
Look at the elated Nidia again, forget it, the good man will do it to the end, and send the Buddha to the west.
The crossover crystal trembled slightly, and the light blue light film enveloped Nitya's body, gradually shattering into colorful light particles from the soles of her feet, and the teleportation began.
"By the way, before leaving, I have a gift for you"
Nitya waved goodbye and said suddenly:
"The core of the Graeme we met in the Tower of Trials, I hope you still have it, there's a magic book in it"
"What book?"
"Fetal ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Nitya's figure had disappeared into the hotel room, leaving only a faint fragrance.
ββββββββββ
"Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha, python skin, rat droppings, locust legs...... Well, it tastes good! Aha"
Nikolai was busy beside the oversized crucible, and he didn't even know what was boiling.
"Stir it, stir it, it tastes good. Well? β
His face changed, and a trace of sanity regained in his dull eyes:
Sure enough, he made his choice. The messenger came ......"
Hearing the master's call, a metal puppet in the shape of an owl flapped its wings and flew over.
"Send this to Olivia, no need for a message, she knows what to do"
It was an ebony box the size of a book.
The owl nodded in agreement, grabbed the box and flew away.
"Just let me see if fate can break the ...... Hey, put some more slugs, where's my slug? β
Nikolai fell into an irrepressible madness again, humming a little song and going outside to pick slugs......
