"So, the way she looks now is a sign of a backlash?"

Alva nodded and said, "The backlash of this power is not painful, it happens unconsciously, and it is only at the moment of death that it suffers from pain. ”

Rick's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know the method of guidance?" ”

Alva and the others shook their heads. This was a big surprise to Rick.

Qinglu comforted: "Childe, even if we know the method of guidance, it is too late now. The power has backfired, and the guidance has no effect. ”

Rick smiled helplessly, he didn't expect it to turn out like this, and his expression immediately looked rather frustrated. At this moment, Caifeng suddenly said, "Childe, there is a way to save her." ”

"How?" Rick's expression perked.

"Try to force the power out of her body."

"That's not going to work." Qinglu was the first to object, "She definitely can't stand that kind of pain, not to mention that this method itself is very dangerous and not complete." That power has something to do with her bloodline, and if the bloodline doesn't change day by day, this power will always exist. Chrissy and Alva both nodded in agreement, they had considered this approach earlier, but neither thought it would work. Caifeng seemed to want to say something, but seeing that everyone was unanimously opposed, she still took back the words that slid to her lips.

Without getting the expected answer, Rick was a little listless, and he was not even interested in watching the girl train, so he turned around and walked straight out of the martial arts training ground. Walking and walking, I unconsciously came to the place where Lu Hanxue lived.

It is a detached wooden house surrounded by a fence with some flowers and plants planted in the fence. Rick had heard Farley say. This was where Gus's mother lived. Because the elderly like to be quiet. Then she passed away, and it was empty. Rick stood outside the fence and saw Lu Hanxue sitting in a bush of flowers and plants from a distance, staring fixedly at the crude wind chimes hanging from the corner of the wooden eaves, motionless. He didn't go in, just stood outside and followed Lu Hanxue's gaze. Because there is no wind, the wind chimes do not shake at all, and naturally they do not produce that crisp ringtone.

Rick was outside watching for a long time. Lu Hanxue also sat in it for a long time, and they didn't disturb each other. Just as they were immersed in this delicate atmosphere, a birdsong like a phoenix was heard from the sky, and Rick woke up, glanced apprehensively inside the fence, and turned away. Lu Hanxue's body also moved at this moment, and at the moment when Rick disappeared into a corner, her index finger snapped lightly and popped out, and the wind chimes made a "ding" sound. Break the ethereal space up and down.

The phoenix-like call was made by a blood phoenix, and Rick hadn't seen it in days. The guy was now pacing in front of Rick with a smug look on his face. There was a "coo" scream, and Rick didn't know what he was talking about, and he didn't want to know. Anyway, pounce on it first, and catching this guy is a hard beating, giving full play to the "ferocious" nature that is usually suppressed. Although the blood phoenix had been prepared, he probably didn't expect Rick to do it so quickly, and he couldn't fly for a while, so he could only spread his feet and desperately run around the garden, and the whole garden was jumping in an instant. The subordinates and guards in the vicinity hurriedly came to investigate, and they soon found that the master was fighting with a big bird with a colorful tail. The blood phoenix is not an ordinary bird, of course it is not so easy to be bullied, a few guards just rushed up, was slapped by its big wings, the guards tried their best to resist, but still could not withstand the strength of the blood phoenix's wings, and was fanned out of the distance at once. Fortunately, the Blood Phoenix didn't intend to hurt anyone, otherwise the guards would have to be injured.

Rick hurriedly stopped the subordinates and guards who were still trying to rush up, and told them that the blood phoenix was a bird he raised, and the subordinates and the guards left in confusion, but secretly guessed when the master had raised such a vicious bird. The blood phoenix was proud, and circled around Rick several times with his head held high, as if to say: I am the boss's follower, you all have to be respectful to me!

Rick reprimanded the Blood Phoenix again, but this time he used his mouth and didn't move. The blood phoenix screamed twice aggrievedly, as if he was crying out for injustice, but Rick didn't care. Just as Ao Ling'er came over, Rick handed over the blood phoenix to her, and ordered the blood phoenix to listen to her and not allow it to run around again, otherwise he would pluck out his hair. The Blood Phoenix flapped its wings in protest and called twice, and Rick said without looking at it, "The protest is invalid!" If you call it again, you will pluck the hair. The blood phoenix seemed to understand his words, and obediently stopped shouting, but his eyes were extremely aggrieved.

After setting up the Blood Phoenix, Rick went alone to the backyard where Ada was being held.

Standing outside the house, Rick deliberately lowered the sound of footsteps, and Ida quickly sensed his arrival and stood at the window and looked at him coldly.

Rick said as if he had something to do with him, "I'm going to change places for you." ”

"Feel like it's too comfortable for me?" Ida said lightly.

"Let's just put it that way, or to put it another way, we can make a trade."

"What deal?"

"I let you come out and allow you to move freely, and you can even resume your martial arts, but there is one condition - in the next six months, you must stay in the Duke's Palace, and you are not allowed to escape, and after half a year, you can leave freely."

"Would you be so good?"

"You can choose to believe me or you can choose not to believe me, but I have to remind you that if I hadn't saved you, you probably wouldn't even have the right to choose."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You can think for yourself, in the Qingcheng Tianxiang Inn, those people who attacked the inn at night, their purpose is probably not as simple as saving you. A person who can keep secrets, preferably a dead man. ”

Ada's face changed drastically, she didn't expect this, she just didn't want to think about it all along.

At this point, Rick turned to leave, and said as he went, "You think about it, I'll get you out, remember what you promised me." ”

Ada seemed to want to stop him, but her mouth opened, but she didn't make a sound. She felt her faith and will waver, and perhaps as Rick said, she was already a character in Oturu's heart that needed to be eliminated. Before she knew it, she had come to believe Rick's words.

Rick walked out of the backyard, passing by a single courtyard, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting from inside, and hurriedly walked over. If you look closely, it turns out that the little girl Emma is practicing fire magic, and Alice is standing aside and constantly instructing her how to use spirit to communicate with magic elements, but strictly ordering her not to use spells, but only to use spirit to cast magic. Emma's face was flushed, but she still couldn't send out even a basic fireball. Rick looked at her with pity, this little girl had been with him since he rescued him, without complaint, and the reason why she practiced magic seriously was "to protect Rick's brother", which made Rick extremely touched.

Rick didn't bother Emma, but walked up to Alice's side and said, "It's too difficult to practice magic like this, how can Ash be so young?" ”

"Do you know why there are so few people who can use magic without reciting spells? Because they abandoned the cumbersome mantra in the first place. The use of magic taught by formal education is popular, for the sake of the people's livelihood, not for fighting, and the magic that is really used in battle must focus on actual combat, although it is very difficult to practice unspelled magic, not only depends on talent, but also has the obvious advantage that it can kill and injure the enemy as quickly as possible while saving the life of the magician, whether it is a single soldier or a group fight. ”

Rick said helplessly, "I can't tell you, but Ash doesn't seem to be able to use this kind of unspelled magic." ”

Alice smiled: "It will be done, her entry is already amazing, I can feel that when she uses unspelled magic, although the magic can't be released, but the magic elements are quickly gathering around her, and she is even better than when I was studying." As soon as she said this, the little girl Emma suddenly exclaimed, "Sister Alice, I can use magic, look! Fireball! Fireball! ”

Rick and Alice looked back, and sure enough, Emma's little hand was holding a fireball as large as a teacup, red and purple in the middle of it, and Rick could feel the amazing heat of the fireball from a considerable distance. Alice took a closer look at the fireball and then asked Emma to throw it into the clearing. The fireball arced in the air and landed on the ground, immediately sinking into the earth like a mud cow into the sea, which seemed to be somewhat useless. They walked over to take a look, only to find that the place where the fireball fell, a foot in diameter, had liquefied the soil, and the temperature was frighteningly high. Alice looked at the soil carefully, her eyes flashed with great joy, she patted Emma's red face, and exclaimed, "Ash, you are amazing, although the fireball you send out is small, but it is very powerful. ”

Emma's little face turned even redder: "Really? ”

Rick stood up and said, "Really, even Brother Rick has to admire you." ”

Emma immediately smiled, and without saying a word, went back to the side to practice her magic. Rick looked at her elated and hurriedly asked Alice why she was like this.

Alice shook her head and sighed, "Maybe it's talent, or maybe her spirit is much stronger than the average person, and the fireball emitted will be red and purple, and the temperature is frighteningly high." ”

Rick thought about it and thought it was very likely. He also needed to see Qin Xin, so after talking to Alice for a while, he turned around and walked towards the place where Qin Xin lived, Jiang Zhuxuan. Qin Xin has been pregnant for five months, although she has spent two months on the ice bed, the fetus has not grown, in fact, she is only three months pregnant, however, since the old Hailuo medicine removed the cold poison in the placenta for her, she has been very strict, so she does not step out of the bamboo Xuan, only let Farli and a few maids accompany her, and the affairs of the house are all decided by Rick. Rick, of course, didn't know how to handle the housekeeping, so he handed it over to Chrissy, Alva, and Younghero, who had rarely been out lately and had effectively become the butler of the Duke's Palace.
