Chapter 1251: A Thousand Illusions.
c_t;“ It's just scattered crystals that can adapt to any temperature, and it's not a precious item. Now, though, I'm more curious about what you mean. Say, whether it is your current identity or the help you have provided to Zijie in the past, I will give you the greatest help, as long as I can do it. ”
When Mu Chen was surprised, Xiao Yao'er came to Mu Chen's side again, through the illumination of the light, Xiao Yao'er's 'outstanding' appearance was clear at a glance, Rao was Mu Chen, who had already faced Xiao Yao'er once, and he still couldn't help but be a little amazed.
"Why do you keep looking at me, and while I enjoy the feeling of being watched, isn't there something strange about your taste?"
Mu Chen sweated profusely, and just wanted to explain, but saw Xiao Yao'er swing his palm like a tree root, and said with a smile, "No need to explain, you called me a monster when we first met, and I have long since stopped taking the evaluation of appearance in my eyes, let's talk about you." ”
Mu Chen replied embarrassedly, and said straight to the point, "I want to borrow a book." ”
"Borrowing books?"
Xiao Yao'er was a little deflated when he heard this, it was obvious that this kind of thing he had done for more than a hundred years was completely unrefreshed, and he said after a while, "What type?"
"Books on transfiguration, high-level. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yao'er looked at Mu Chen with a little surprise, and said suspiciously, "This kind of book is often very biased, and few people will pay attention to it, so it is difficult to detect the location of the place, first make it clear, whether you are looking for a book about high-level disguise techniques, or a book about learning high-level disguise techniques, these two books seem to be very related, but in fact they are completely different." ”
Mu Chen sighed lightly, "It turns out that there is a difference, then what I am looking for is the latter, the learning method of the high-level disguise technique." ”
Xiao Yao'er's protruding eyes rolled a few times, and she nodded, "Yes, the eighth tower floor, five hundred and thirty-nine bookshelves, the lowest part, and the first book in the right hand is." ”
Mu Chen was overjoyed and said gratefully, "Thank you, if you let me look for it alone, I'm afraid it won't take two days to find it." ”
Xiao Yao'er was even more strange, "Are you so eager to find a book on disguise techniques?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from your eyes, but I can't tell you the specific reason, please forgive me. ”
Mu Chen wanted to hide it, but there was no reason for anyone to use it, it was no good for him to be targeted by the Alien Sky Demon Clan, and it was not clear whether Xiao Yao'er knew about the Alien Sky Demon Clan, and most importantly, he couldn't put his heart into a person who only had two eyes.
"I see. ”
It was very sudden, I originally thought that such a refusal would make Xiao Yao'er disgusted, but the ending was just the opposite, Xiao Yao'er not only did not feel disgusted, but sighed lightly, showed an expression similar to a smile and said, "I'm glad you didn't make excuses to perfunctory me, sometimes this kind of euphemistic refusal can give people more respect." ”
Dropping these words, Xiao Yao'er stretched out her thin finger and tapped it in the void, and a circle of ripples suddenly appeared in the space, and in a burst of glitter, a book that seemed to be wrapped in a thick fog gradually emerged from the ripples.
Taking out this book, Xiao Yao'er directly handed it to Mu Chendao, "Take this and try it." ”
Mu Chen subconsciously took the book handed over by Xiao Yao'er, looked down, and suddenly noticed a flower in front of him, his consciousness was a little sudden, Mu Chen, who noticed something, suddenly opened his Ice Pole Demon Pupil, and opened the Ice Pole Demon Pupil to the peak state, until this time, the dense fog on the book gradually dissipated, but what made Mu Chen helpless was that there was nothing on the cover except for a strange mask pattern, and it was a kind of book that was not simple at first glance.
"You are..."
Xiao Yao'er replied, "If you want to use the disguise technique, you must have encountered difficulties that need to cover your face, and judging from your expression, the seriousness of the matter is extraordinary, and the high-level disguise technique may not be able to solve your troubles, so it is an additional choice, if you can use it, the effect will be countless more powerful than the high-level disguise technique." ”
"It?"
Flipping over the cover, two incomparably blurry fonts suddenly met Mu Chen's eyes, even if he opened the Ice Pole Demon Pupil, he stared at it for a long time before he could see the reads clearly;.
"A thousand faces...?"
"Heh... Sure enough, it's a thousand faces. Xiao Yao'er's eyes showed a hint of enlightenment and abruptness, and she said, "She is the only one in this world who can write this kind of book." ”
Mu Chen was surprised and asked curiously, "Can you make it clear?"
Xiao Yao'er said, "Are you interested?"
Mu Chen nodded, "Since you want to use it, of course you will want to know the origin." ”
Xiao Yao'er said helplessly, "It's okay, it's okay to tell you, but it's tiring to stand and talk, let's go there." ”
As she spoke, Xiao Yao'er walked towards the reading area with her cane, followed by Mu Chen. I have to say that the reading area on the thirteenth level is a decoration, and the only people who can enter here are the elders of the inner mountain, and the elders rarely stay here to read, but when Mu Chen wanted to wipe the dust on the tables and chairs, he found that it was like a mirror, spotless.
"Disappointed?"
Seeing Mu Chen's stunned expression, Xiao Yao'er smiled, casually found a place to sit down, and said with a light smile, "The word "person is not absolute, although I look sloppy, I like to be quiet, and I also like to be 'quiet'." So although the thirteenth floor is rarely visited, I tidy it up once a day, and of course, the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth floors are the same. ”
I have to say that this short exchange with Xiao Yao'er made him understand what a real person is and why he finally understands why Dilaka is called a genius. Although Dilaka repeatedly told Xiao Yao'er that he didn't like others to communicate with him with honorific titles, he still couldn't hide the respect in his eyes, because this was a real great wise man.
"A thousand faces, is the title of a person, specifically, it should be the title of a woman. She's the biggest mystery since the Holy War, and what I know about her is only from the miscellaneous records accumulated on the Holy Sepulchre Mountain and rumors from other regions, so it won't be much, but it's enough to satisfy your curiosity. ”
"The biggest mystery since the Holy War?"
Xiao Yao'er nodded and said, "Thousand Faces is the name given to her by the people of the mainland, and as for her real name, no one knows it so far." But according to rumors, she doesn't like the name Thousand Faces herself, and is used to calling herself ... A thousand illusions. ”
