“When Alice wakes up, will I have a chance to get this information?”
life water, its drinkers will gain Eternal life, a body almost indestructible.
A very bold guess: Besides the protection of the hot-headed Fourth Apostle Cassillias, could Held’s dominance over the Apostles for thousands of years also be related to life water?
However, I’ve already angered Alice, so it’s hard to say…
“Let’s go back quickly. I can feel that the power of the golden small crystal is almost depleted.”
Celia’s lips curved into a relieved smile. Saving a pure soul made her feel very meaningful and happy.
“How much longer can it last?”
“About thirty seconds.”
“That…you said our memories would be incomplete when we woke up, right?”
“Yes, there will be some missing memories from the dream, but you might be able to recall them in the future.”
— — — — — —
“You’ve finally woken up. How are you feeling?”
Tana’s heart, which had been suspended, finally settled. The worry between her brows dissipated. The time exceeded the estimated duration by double, meaning they woke up after a full hour.
“There’s no problem now, but it will take Alice some time to emerge from Held’s shadow. Her mental power was significantly depleted by my Light Sword Control Technique, so she might not wake up and continue sleeping.”
“Huh…”
Ye Lin frowned, somewhat puzzled. He remembered severing the Evil Spirit Curse and then taking a slight advantage of Celia. Other than that, he seemed to remember nothing.
One had to admit, this feeling of near-amnesia could leave a person feeling empty inside, a suffocating sensation, as if about to fall into a bottomless abyss!
“It seems my left hand was holding something…”
He gestured slightly in the air, but he couldn’t recall the sensation. Could it be that he had been bold enough to feel Celia’s ‘justice’ just now? But it shouldn’t be, because the scale was wrong; it should have been more…proud.
Celia, who had just woken up, also furrowed her delicate brows, suspiciously touching her small face and lips. Her eyes were full of a lost expression; she couldn’t remember either.
“I’m a bit tired. I’ll go back to rest first.” Celia understood that trying to figure things out now was futile. It was better to get a good night’s sleep. Maintaining the entrance and exit of Alice’s mental space had also left her exhausted.
“You succeeded?”
Siate walked in from outside, observing Alice, who was in a “newborn” state, with great interest. However, the blue and purple marks on Alice’s legs made Siate’s mouth twitch. She glared fiercely at Ye Lin, “Shameless!”
“Mai Lu and the others have already gone to rest.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
“When the Evil Spirit Curse appeared, it was already half-destroyed. That means you must have severely injured it in the mental space. How did you do it?”
Tana was very interested in this. Although the Evil Spirit Curse was just a spell, it was still Held’s technique and had a thousand years of corrosive history. It was quite incredible that Ye Lin, a Professional, could severely injure it.
“Ah, that. Alice was in a dazed state at the time. I borrowed most of her mental energy and used a skill that fused Ghost Sword Technique and Light Sword Technique. Coupled with Alice’s already impressive mental power, I barely succeeded. Luck accounted for half of it.”
He scratched his head and explained. At least, he couldn’t use a second Light Sword Control Technique right now.
“Light Sword Technique? A sword technique that can only be performed with specific weapons?” Siate instantly lost interest.
“No, it’s Light Sword Technique, Seghete’s basic skill. Unlike the flexible and versatile Ghost Sword Technique and the magic sword power of Sword Master, it emphasizes swift moves and lightning-fast attacks.”
Light Sword Technique wasn’t taught to him by Seghete, but was recorded in Bakal’s notes. Seghete was his creation, so this sword technique was naturally tailored for him by Bakal.
At this moment, Ye Lin’s eyes suddenly darted. Light Sword Technique was a basic skill and didn’t conflict with other sword techniques. Anyone could try to learn it, and Siate naturally could too.
A smile curved at the corner of his mouth, and he teased, “Do you want to learn? I’ll leave my bedroom door open for you tonight…”
“I want to learn, but learning sword techniques definitely requires a sword, right? And as a Sword Master, it should be normal for me to carry a greatsword, right?”
After Siate finished speaking, she yawned, rubbed her eyes, and waved her hand wearily, “Forget it, forget it, I’m not arguing with you anymore. I’m going to sleep.”
“Good night.”
“Tana, I have a gift to show you tomorrow. I’m really tired tonight.”
Perhaps Tana, being a pure dragon, would know something about the function of Explosive Dragon King Bakal’s horn.
“If that gift is yourself, I won’t be polite~”
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin’s expression instantly became pained. Being teased daily caused his blood to rush, but the thought of a dragon’s stamina made him shiver.
Please, a revive coin…
The next day
A slightly dazzling ray of sunlight shone on Ye Lin’s eyes, causing him to roll over and cover his face with the quilt. But then he felt his feet cold, so he finally curled up, which was more comfortable.
“Mmm, Mi Gao, what are you doing here? Is Mai Lu busy?”
Ye Lin rubbed his “good comrade” and drinking buddy, who was biting his hair, with his finger.
Mi Gao seemed anxious, pulling a little harder, making Ye Lin’s scalp ache, but it still didn’t fully wake him up.
“What’s wrong, Mi Gao? I heard Mai Lu’s laughter this morning, which means everyone is fine.”
Mi Gao couldn’t speak human language. Only Celia and Mai Lu understood its words; he temporarily couldn’t.
“You’re so tired. You worked hard yesterday.”
A sudden comfort made Ye Lin’s body stiffen. This voice was somewhat familiar but not entirely, and this comforting remark had already been said last night…
Memories surged like a tide. He scrambled up, hastily putting on his clothes, and chuckled, “Alice, you’re awake, quite early…”
“Yes, although my spirit hasn’t fully recovered, it’s much better. I feel my soul has broken free from its shackles. It’s a sense of ease I’ve never experienced before.”
Alice was still wearing the same purple and white clothes from yesterday. She stood by the window, bathed in the morning sunlight, with faint golden light spilling over her robes.
Her face was serene and her eyes gentle, and due to her being one of Tarakuta’s leaders, her demeanor carried a hint of nobility. What a virtuous and gentle lady she appeared to be, truly the high-mountain flower of the Demon World!
“Are you here to thank me? It was just a small effort, nothing to mention, hahahaha… Let’s talk nicely, please put down maryllete first!”
“As a musician, I should play a piece for you to express my gratitude.”
“No, thanks. Others play for money; yours is life-threatening, truly life-threatening!”
Even Ni Wu couldn’t stand maryllete; it would be a miracle if he could quietly listen to a whole piece…
“I felt something very impolite in my dream. Can you give me an explanation?”
“I don’t remember, but no matter what happened, it was to save you!”
“Even the scars on my legs?” Alice lifted her skirt, her eyes already mixed with anger.
“Yes, to save you!”
“Even at West Coast Magic School?”
“Yes!”
“Nonsense!”
Alice could no longer hold back. maryllete plucked a string, and a massive magical force directly immobilized Ye Lin. Then she covered him with the quilt and gave him a physical beating with maryllete…
“I’ll let you touch! Let your hands be itchy! West Coast keeps replaying in my mind. You beast, what did you do in my head to make me infinitely magnify that scene, even memory seals couldn’t seal it!”
Bang! Bang! Bang…
“Still, thank you. I’m very happy.”
Years of pent-up frustration vanished. Alice smiled radiantly again, holding maryllete and performing a lady’s curtsy, returning to her virtuous and gentle image. This sudden change of expression stunned the few people peeking from the doorway.
