Chapter 108: The Quarrel in My Mind (2)
"Perhaps—maybe it's because only when the soul power accumulates to a certain level can it cause the evolution of the Demon Notes!, yes, it must be so!" Alfie gradually grasped the idea, "The Demon Note upgrade must not only require soul power, but also the host, that is, my lifespan!
'Before, the Demon Note was constantly tempting me to trade with it, slowly growing itself, and then when I used my soul power, I used my soul power to make myself stronger, and when both accumulated to a certain extent, it evolved and could communicate with me directly through telepathy. And this time-'
'How about this time?' asked with a smile in his sharp voice.
'The soul power I used the night before was very large, enough for the Demon Note to carry out the second evolution, but during this time, I have not traded with it, and it still needs a little bit of my lifespan to complete the evolution, so I took the initiative to jump out and told me that I was willing to trade for a very small price to give me a method to cultivate the Thirty Years of Whisker Grass. I hadn't thought of this at the time, and I was in a hurry to pass the test and get permission to enter the Magic Library, so I was taken advantage of by the Demon Notes. After the Demon Note got my lifespan, it completed the last piece of the puzzle that needed to evolve, and after successfully evolving, it in turn took advantage of my drunken and knocked unconscious to steal control of my body. Am I right?' Alfie was speaking faster and more emotionally, already seriously considering that if he could take back control of his body this time, it would be time to ditch the Demon Notes.
After all, it is not uncommon in history for the host to finally be taken away from the control of the body by the host, and those who have the ability to host are often the guys with strong abilities, and when their strength grows to a certain stage, the host is simply unable to resist. Alfie didn't want to end up in that miserable situation.
'Very wonderful. But the previous life span of one or two months would make your heart ache, and now three or four years of life has become a very small price in your mouth, tsk, you are really getting more and more generous. Seeing that Alfie had completely recognized his identity, the sharp voice was replaced by the neutral voice of the Demon Note before, which was difficult to distinguish between men and women, but although he acquiesced to this, there was a faint sarcasm in his tone: "It seems that after getting the blood essence, you think that your lifespan problem is worry-free?"
No, on the contrary, I see my longevity more seriously. Because I found it to be far more valuable than I thought. At least as long as my life span is cleared, you will never leave me, and you will never be able to truly take my body. Alfie said with a sneer.
'Oh, why do you have such delusions?' Demon Note smirked.
For your evolution is obviously not yet complete, otherwise the fire of my soul would have been extinguished long ago. Alfie said firmly. If you want to continue to evolve, my lifespan is indispensable, and if you want to obtain my lifespan, it must be done through a transaction, and it must be a fair transaction with my consent. I guess you want to evolve into a full body, and you need a lot of lifespan, but my lifespan may not be enough even if I have the support of blood essence. So not only can you not do anything to me, but you have to find ways to increase my lifespan, what else do I have to worry about?'
'I can't imagine that after so many transactions, you have not gained nothing, at least you have almost made the principle of trading between you and me almost complete. I really underestimate you. There was a hint of helplessness in the tone of the Demon Note.
'Hmph, I guess you didn't choose me for nothing!' Alfie's tone revealed a hint of smugness, the Demon Note must have taken a fancy to his clever mind before choosing him as a host.
In this sense, he is much stronger than the vast majority of people on the mainland. Otherwise, the Demon Note would have chosen someone else as a host long ago, and Alfie believed that with the help of the Demon Note, anyone could potentially dominate the continent.
I chose you for a reason, of course, but not for the reason you think. The words of the Demon Note sent a chill in Alfie's heart.
'You've evolved to read my mind?' Alfie asked in horror.
'What do you think?' said with a smile in the Demon Notes, "Don't worry, I won't do that, and there's a good chance I'll be influenced by you in turn and become a part of you." ’
Alfie's words made Alfie skeptical, but at least it proved that the Demonic Note was not without scruples and weaknesses, which was definitely a good thing for Alfie.
How do I know if you're telling the truth. Alfie asked warily.
If you don't believe it, I can't help it. But I'm just an object, and while I can claim to know everything, I'm nowhere near as terrifying as you might think. The Demon Note said gently, already sensing Alfie's visceral fear. The Demon Note also asked Alfie for help, and he didn't want to make the relationship so stiff.
'Unless you can tell me why you chose me.' Alfie said slyly. He naturally understood that the Demon Note could not reach the point of reading his mind at this time, otherwise there was no need to talk nonsense with him at all, he just wanted to take this opportunity to find out the true purpose of the Demon Note.
I'm sorry I can't tell you right now, but I can promise that I have no ill will towards you. The Demon Note swore solemnly.
'What would happen if you told me?' Alfie didn't want to pass up the opportunity.
There was silence for a while, and after a while, the Demon Note replied with difficulty, "I can't tell. ’
'Oh, don't you claim I don't know?' Alfie asked with a sneer.
I can't predict people's hearts. The Demon Note said frankly, "Because people's hearts can change at any time, I can only be sure that you are absolutely unwilling to face the reasons why I chose you." ’
'How is that possible?' Alfie chuckled, he couldn't think of anything he wasn't willing to face.
Then you will know, and one day you will know the reason. Demon Note let out a long sigh.
'Can't you tell me ahead of time?' Alfie asked reluctantly.
'No, you're not strong enough right now to afford to know that. Demon Note insisted.
You say I don't want to face that reason, and you say I can't afford to know the consequences of knowing that reason, and it seems that the reason must be very important. Alfie groaned, his brain racing, wondering what the mysterious cause was.
Don't waste your time, you'll never think of that reason, because you've got so few clues. The Demon Note understood Alfie's thoughts and kindly dissuaded.
'There are too few clues?at least there are, aren't they?, but I don't know yet. Alfie unconsciously got into the horns.
