Chapter 31: Doom(1/2)
Moon Ring City Witch Guild Headquarters, inside the Moon Witch's luxurious office.
On the desk, a planetarium with precise structure and exquisite shape rotated slowly. Su Xiao sat in front of the desk, looking at the astrology. Opposite the moon witch Cecilis was checking an approval document, her brows slightly wrinkled.
"The families in Sky City are becoming more and more arrogant."
Cecilis raised her hand to insert the batch of documents into the shredder. She didn't know what she thought of, but instead of doing so, she opened the drawer and put the batch of batches of documents in the drawer.
"Bai Ye, why did you come to see me this time?"
"..."
Su Xiao said nothing. He turned the brake bolt of the planetarium and watched the planetarium slowly rotate.
When she didn't get a response from Su Xiao, Cecilis looked away from the approval document and looked at Su Xiao across the desk. After a brief gaze, Cecilis put down the approval document in her hand and said: "It seems like you
Whoever comes next will be unkind."
"..."
Su Xiao remained silent and looked at the astrology device in front of her.
"No matter how you say I am the Moon Witch, the most powerful witch in the world, is it really appropriate for you to ignore me like this?"
Cecilis looked at Su Xiao with a smile in her eyes.
"Have you ever heard the story of the hunter and the bear?"
As Su Xiao spoke, he pressed the central axis of the planetarium, smoothly removed the main body, and disassembled it with his bare hands. Through the spiritual shadow line, he quickly disassembled the main body of the astrology device.
"Never heard of it."
Moon Witch Cecilis picked up the black tea cup, took a sip, and waited for Su Xiao to tell the story about hunters and bears.
"He was a highly skilled hunter. He never failed in hunting and was famous far and wide. One day, he went to a small town for an appointment. The residents of that small town made a living by logging. However, a brown bear appeared there recently, so he invited him with a large sum of money.
The hunter of course agreed to deal with the brown bear. Unfortunately, the brown bear was strong and cunning. Although the hunter drove away the brown bear, he was still seriously injured. The town residents paid the reward, but not long after, the brown bear appeared again. In order to deal with it, the hunter
This brown bear, as well as regaining the trust of the town residents, bought a hound on the recommendation of his friends, and the effect was excellent. The fierce dog bit the brown bear and seriously injured him. Guess what happened in the end."
At this point, Su Xiao had already dismantled the planetarium into a bunch of parts. He picked up one of the somewhat deformed snap rings, replaced it with a new snap ring from the spare parts box, and then started to reassemble the planetarium.
"How did it turn out?"
After sipping the black tea, Cecilis slowly exhaled the hot breath.
"In the end the hunter and the bear stewed the hound together."
After Su Xiao finished speaking, he assembled the planetarium with a click in his hand, and reinstalled it on the main shaft. The asteroid re-rotated and made a pleasant mechanical sound instead of the slight friction noise just now.
This time it was Moon Witch Cecilis's turn to be silent. After half a minute, she sighed and said, "Wait a moment."
Moon Witch Cecilis got up and went to the bedroom behind the secret door. When she returned and sat down, she put down a black ring.
"This is Black Hole Azler's weapon. Black Hole Azler has three secret treasures, the dark blood with psychic power, the abyss contract that I have never seen before, and the ring of annihilation."
Moon Witch Cecilis put down the Ring of Oblivion. Things have progressed to this point, and she is ready to make some words clear.
The content of the story Su Xiao just told is very simple. It is questioning the relationship between the moon witch Cecilis and the first-generation black hole Azler. On the surface, the first-generation black hole Azler died many years ago and can be used to fake his death.
Su Xiao has encountered more than one hidden enemy.
In this story, Moon Witch = Hunter, the first Black Hole Azler = Brown Bear, and Su Xiao’s Team = Hounds.
The reason why Su Xiao compares himself to a hound in the story is because there is a hound in the team, and because of his identity as a hound, he may turn into a mad dog. A mad dog will kill everyone. This is a warning to the Moon Witch.
What the Moon Witch needs to do now is to prove clearly that she has not cooperated with the first-generation black hole Azler. Otherwise, her commission will end here, and the commission money she paid will be wasted on the spot.
It's not that Su Xiao is arrogant. As a hunter of the Void Tree with -? credibility, his understanding of the Void Tree's notarization rules is far better than that of the Moon Witch. The commission money is currently stored in the Void Tree. As long as the Moon Witch
If it is judged as a breach of contract, Su Xiao will immediately receive the commission money.
"What you are dealing with this time is actually not the real black hole Azler. The real Azler died more than ten years ago..."
Su Xiao raised his hand to indicate that he could skip this paragraph. He understood this and everyone's time was precious, so he just got to the point.
Moon Witch said: "Have you heard of the "Star Tower"?"
"I heard that I killed the former guard of this force, the Dark Twins."
"I used to be a member of this force, and so was the first generation Black Hole Azler..."
The Moon Witch began to narrate secrets about the "Astrology Tower", "Parliament", and the three "Parliament Elders" of Sky City. The more she listened, the more Su Xiao felt that the "Astrology Tower" seemed to be guarding, no, it should be guarding something.
The Dark Twins, the first boss to fight in this world, are actually gatekeepers for the "Guardian Thing".
Bosses like the Dark Twins are only qualified to guard the gates. The importance of the "guarded object" of the Star Tower can be imagined. When Su Xiao asked about it, the Moon Witch did not hide it. She knew what it was, but she couldn't.
He said that if she revealed this related matter in any way, she would be banished from this world and world consciousness.
It is unimaginable that Cecilis, as the moon witch, could be exiled from the witch world. Judging from her tone, even if the world cannot directly expel her, it will continue to increase its efforts to exclude her until she is expelled from the world.
world.
"So, you actually know the identity of the dancer and the madman?"
"Of course I don't know, Bai Ye, you have to understand me. I am not omniscient and omnipotent. Destiny is so wonderful and always beyond our expectations, so you have to be tolerant of some minor incidents."
Moon Witch had a smile in her eyes. After hearing this, Su Xiao quite agreed and said:
"I understand your difficulties, but understanding is mutual. You should also understand me once."
Hearing this, the Moon Witch picked up the tea cup and paused. A very bad premonition came to her heart. She asked: "I should understand, but..."
"It's just a pseudo-original sin that has entered this world."
"!"
Moon Witch put down her tea cup and the smile in her eyes disappeared. She has been particularly sensitive to the words "original sin object" recently.
After staring at Su Xiao for a few seconds, she sighed faintly. If it were in the past, she would not be able to tolerate this. She valued the witch world more than her life, but after meeting Su Xiao, her bottom line dropped.
After all, under the impact of a "Book of Original Sin" that sealed five original sin items, a fake original sin item was completely within the acceptable category.
"Okay, I pretend I don't know about this."
Moon Witch closed her eyes and sat back, her intention was very obvious, let her be alone here quietly.
"That's not possible for the time being. I'm going to use this pseudo-original sin object. Considering the risks, I need a safe enough place."
"for example?"
"For example, your office is nice."
Hearing this, Moon Witch breathed out slowly, but before she could speak, Su Xiao said: "Selin is a good heir. You should get her a library badge from the Soul Library."
"It's not as simple as you said. The Soul Library doesn't care about anyone or any force. The library badges they give are bound to the recipients. That thing can't be obtained by wealth, power, or influence. It can only be obtained by wealth, power, or influence.
It depends on luck."
Pa~
Su Xiao pressed a [Library Badge] on the table. Seeing this, Moon Witch was slightly surprised and asked: "Where did you get it?"
"..."
Su Xiao took out a cloth bag and threw it on the table. After opening it, there were more than a dozen "library badges" inside. This made the Moon Witch across the desk stunned for a moment. She had seen two "library badges" in her life.
, after becoming the Moon Witch, I also tried to get one, but found that it really didn't work. The owner of the Soul Library, the Ancient One, is a similar existence to the alien being in the void.
As for where Su Xiao got these "Library Badges", the Ancient One gave them to him, and the Ancient One didn't explain to him how to distribute these "Library Badges". Basically, it can be understood that Su Xiao can give them to anyone he likes.
Why are the ancients so kind to Su Xiao? Initially, because Su Xiao was a law destroyer, the ancients probably had a friendliness +1 point. This is already very unusual. In the past hundred years, the ancients have never been friendly to visitors.
Considered it.
But after Su Xiao used the "Book of Original Sin" to seal the five original sin objects, he became friendly with the ancient ones by +80 points. That is because the soul library was notarized through the Void Tree, and the rules of the library cannot be changed, otherwise the soul
All secret books, ancient books, and Su Xiao in the library can be borrowed for free.
The soul library has two purposes, 1. To store the knowledge developed in the void, all realms, etc., 2. To seal the original sin object.
Su Xiao alone has sealed more original sin objects than an entire library. Of course, the owners and members of the library are impressed by him and have a favorable impression of him.
Now he took out a "Library Badge" and named it for Serin. In fact, it was a reward for Serin's constant provision of intelligence. This time to deal with Black Hole Azler, Serin used the family's intelligence channels to provide Su with information.
Akatsuki provided many key clues, and she even led people to find the dancer Flair.
In addition, Serin also found the trace of Sha in a short period of time, and almost died for it. She was given a "Library Badge" as a reward, which was not much at all.
As for why not to give it directly to Serin, that is another question. Serin is one of the successors of the Moon Witch, and received the order from the Moon Witch to assist Su Xiao. Even if there is a reward, it should go through the hands of the Moon Witch.
Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin" and a dark contract. When she saw the contract, the Moon Witch across the desk frowned a little and said, "What is this."
After saying this, Moon Witch sighed, feeling a little helpless.
"The abyss contract is not dangerous."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Moon Witch sighed again. She has been sighing more often recently, and the upper limit of her tolerance for abyssal items and original sin items has been significantly increased.
The Moon Witch picked up the black tea cup and placed it on the display stand aside. The engraved mark on the bottom of the black tea cup activated the corresponding spell, and the entire office was gradually enveloped in the mysterious spell.
Su Xiao didn't pay attention to the activation of the spell. He placed the "Abyss Contract" on the table. This contract was different from ordinary parchment contracts. It was as soft as cloth and about 0.5 centimeters thick. It felt like satin when picked up.
, just by the feel of the hand, Su Xiao judged that it was a divine skin.
As a 'Contract Master', Su Xiao is very interested in this 'Abyss Contract'. The person who drafted and created this thing is also a Contract Master. 'Longing' for power from the abyss in this way is far safer than longing for it directly.
Direct desire, even if the power of the abyss is obtained, will be accompanied by loss of control, pain, and even power that can lead to madness in the desirer.
"Abyss Contract" sets a threshold for this desire. Assuming that the threshold is 100 points, then the signer of this contract can obtain up to 100 points of abyss power no matter how it is used.
On top of this limit, "restrictions" and "prices" are added, which can minimize the side effects of enduring the power of the abyss.
Why was the madman so painful that Su Xiao slashed him to death? It was because the price he paid was "a hundred times the pain."
Su Xiao took out a strange loupe. This thing was a half-mechanical and half-biological structure. He found it in the drawing room of the underground area of the Everlight World. He put the loupe on his right eye, and then took out the abyss-breeding creature's belly skin.
Wear the gloves you made on your hands to avoid risks while researching the "Abyss Contract".
When the Moon Witch on the opposite side saw this scene, she suddenly felt that if she encounters any trouble related to the abyss in the future, it would be a good choice to invite this exterminator to help solve it. Although the reward is high, it is indeed professional.
The witch world has been invaded by the abyss. The understanding of the abyss here is better than other worlds. As the leader of the most powerful force in the world, the moon witch certainly has more knowledge about the abyss. As the moon witch, she recognizes Su Xiao's aspect.
