0613 Friends? Enemy?
When the vicinity of the thatched hut was quiet again, a dark cloud drifted by, blocking the crescent moon that hung high in the sky, and there was an unspeakable dead silence around them.
Seira hugged her body again in the darkness, feeling a chill slowly growing in the depths of her heart, and the sound of squeaky and strange insects gnawing on things was incessant.
At some point, a low, cold figure appeared in the shadows of the room, staring at her with a blank face.
The light is getting darker!
"Do you want revenge? Do you want to have power? Do you want to plunge your immediate enemies into the terrible abyss of eternal suffering? Come on here, then! Prostrate at the feet of the great Lord of Calthas, offer your loyalty and body, and gain endless power! ”
A strange voice similar to muttering echoed in this dark corner where the light could not shine, and penetrated into Serra's simple heart one by one.
With her hands on her ears, Saila tried desperately to block the terrifying demon's whispers that made her soul tremble, trying to keep it out, but to no avail. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and let out a heart-rending scream of pain.
In this lonely night, the girl's screams became more and more piercing, and aroused the dissatisfaction of the "owner" of the wooden house not far away.
The door of the wooden house slammed open, and a stout middle-aged man squeezed out of it with a wine bottle and shook his body, and cursed viciously at the thatched house: "Shut up, damn girl!" If it weren't for your dead father's sake, I would have pushed you away. If you're so uninteresting, I'll sell you tomorrow to Anna on the streets. She's told me a few times that a girl like you would be willing to give five silver coins......"
After a while, the already drunk and hazy strong man didn't even know what he was doing, so he staggered back to the house.
And at this moment, inside the thatched house, Saira was struggling in silent pain.
The strange figure stood beside her, constantly spilling something on her body. But whatever it was, as soon as it touched her body, it would turn into inky black smoke and melt into her skin.
Karthas was satisfied.
To be honest, along the way, he has examined countless human girls, but it is rare to be able to meet his requirements in all aspects like the one in front of him. What's even more rare is that the tenacious and stubborn will of the girl in front of her is far beyond ordinary people, and she obviously has the physique of a dark girl, but she has a heart that yearns for light.
Such a strange thing not only exists, but also really happens in front of his eyes.
Bloodstone Shards, Ghoul Blood, Lich Bone Crushes, Cursed Crystals...... Rare magical materials dissipated into Seira's body like water, guiding the source of darkness in her body to roll and grow. The intense and almost materialized dark power enveloped her completely, and it became more and more vibrating as the Karthus curse runes continued to merge.
The integration of each curse rune completes Saira's dark physique, and also makes her go further and further on the path of the Plague Girl.
But it's weirdly tight, a human girl who hasn't awakened any extraordinary power actually has a strong mind to resist the invasion of Karthas's spirit, and she sealed it out of the sea of consciousness alive, reserving a relatively pure world for herself.
Damn, isn't it going to be hard to control her directly in the future?
Karthas suddenly realized this problem and couldn't help but scratch his head in annoyance. Well, at such a huge price, getting a powerful weapon, but not following his instructions at all, what could be more depressing than this?
However, out of his fanaticism and dedication to creating a powerful magical creature, Karthas still meticulously completed all the magical rituals. Until the last moment, a strange black worm, the size of a fingernail, was placed on Sela's bare belly. The black worm sniffed and inhaled a rich dark aura, instantly resurrected from a dead state, and a few wriggling magically burrowed into Seira's abdomen.
There were no wounds and no pain during the whole process.
When the black worm was gone, Sera regained her composure and lay down in a deep sleep in the open space of the grass hut.
The dark clouds in the sky didn't know where they had drifted at this time, and the cold moonlight sprinkled all over the sky and earth again, as if the scene that had just happened was just a nightmare, and it had never really existed in this world at all.
In the night, Karthas hummed a song and walked triumphantly through the dark alleys. A seed has been sown, and as for whether or not she can grow into the great plague daughter conceived in her mind, that is left to fate to decide!
To be honest, at this moment, he was also very expectant and uneasy in his mind.
Strength can be piled up by many precious magic materials, but greatness can only rely on the continuous strengthening and development of the self.
For the sake of this future daughter of the plague, Karthas can have worked hard. Not only did all the material reserves be exhausted, but even the loot captured some time ago was also depleted.
The thought that his greatest work was about to come out and shock the world made Carlthus unable to contain his excitement and wanted to roar. But at the moment when he was at his most complacent, an untimely crow chirped beside him.
Karthas stiffened suddenly, and slowly turned his body to stare at the strange black crow squatting on the wall on the side of the alley, while the other party was tilting his head to look him up and down.
You must know that at this moment, he is still blessed with stealth skills, and ordinary people and birds should not see him at all!
"It's a pleasure to see you here, Your Excellency the Intruder? If you have time, why don't you come to my house? ”
The raven's words did not surprise Karthas, because he could feel a strong will that could not be traced from the crow, but as soon as the other party opened his mouth, his identity was revealed, which could not help but make him uneasy.
"Damn, I just got rid of those wizards, should I fall into the net here again?" Karthas instantly felt in a bad mood.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Intruder, I'm just a retired wizard who doesn't care about the world, and I won't get involved in the dirty things between you and the Wizard Guild at all, so please come here myself!" The black crow seemed to have been etched into the mind reading, and quickly soothed the dragon lich's heart with words.
"I'm going to visit Your Excellency!" Karthas gritted his teeth and agreed in a deep voice.
Satisfied, the black crow croaked merrily, and with a flap of its wings, it rushed into the night sky, heading towards the other end of town. Karthas hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind, applied a flying spell to himself, and flew up and chased the black crow into the distance.
Looking down from the sky, the town is not large, with a total of 100 households and three or two streets. Even in the dead of night, you can see some drunken swaying figures on the streets, as well as lewd figures chasing behind them trying to make extra money.
Riding the cool night breeze, Karthas landed on a meadow-covered hillside, and a winding dirt road led to the lonely wooden house at the end of the hillside.
Truth be told, it really doesn't look like a reclusive wizard's home, but rather like a common house in the slums. The wooden structure, with two floors, mottled walls covered with ugly moss and mushrooms, and a dim candle light peeks through the cracks in the planks.
"Come in!"
As an old voice sounded, the dilapidated wooden door creaked open, revealing an aging figure standing against the door.
Karthas was not an uninformed country wizard, but a dragon lich who had crossed the plane, and with just a glance, he could clearly tell that the old wizard's time was running out.
The passage of life is a matter that no living race can do. If it weren't for that, there wouldn't be so many high-level spellcasters who would have thrown themselves into the ranks of the Icy Lich in pursuit of the eternity of their spells.
Although the old wizard in front of him was filled with terrifying surging elemental power, his spirit was weakened, his magic power was lost, and he had obviously entered the last moment of his life.
A dying 9-ring wizard!
Karthas quickly labeled the old wizard in his mind, but on the surface he still quietly walked into the reception room.
The so-called reception room is the ugly and crooked set of tables and chairs in the corner of the wooden house. In the dim light of the candles, you can see the messy parchment scrolls, the half-eaten yogurt, and the discs of soup that can't be distinguished. And, of course, the ubiquitous heavy dust.
This is really just an ordinary mansion, and there is no such thing as a magic circle that blocks outsiders from prying eyes at all, so the dragon lich's spiritual power is just swept away, and he understands the qi qi in this wooden house in the shortest possible time.
I have to, this is a scholar-type wizard caught in an infinite research frenzy. In the equally narrow study on the second floor, the floor was littered with open books and scrolls, and the scattered papyrus was covered with dense witchcraft runes and formulas, all of which were highly knowledgeable about the deep principles of the plane.
Because the master was in front of him, the dragon lich didn't dare to peep too unscrupulously, so his spiritual power was just swept away, and he honestly sat down opposite the old wizard.
Don't look at the other party as just a pale old man who is on the end of his life, but it is still not a problem to overturn himself with the strange witchcraft of up to 9 rings. So before the other party showed his malicious intentions, he really wanted to know what the other party's purpose was in inviting him here!
"I've seen your special methods just now, and it's really amazing. In particular, the fusion of extraordinary powers gave me a glimpse of a new world. Ten years ago, I wouldn't have missed this best opportunity to get your brain, but today, ......"
The old wizard's words made Karthas tremble, but when he thought of the crystal ball he had just seen in the study on the second floor, he understood why he had leaked it out.
