A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Weiwei's usually cool face.
immediately.
The girl's eyes were unfocused. When she looked at "Lani" in the black dress in front of her, a thousand thoughts rushed into her mind.
Her thoughts drifted back to a few months ago.
On a piece of land bordering a neighboring country in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Grey, there once stood a peaceful and tranquil town.
This is where Vivi and Lancelot grew up.
Because this town is located on a side road between the two countries, the town has a somewhat exotic appearance.
But the peace and harmony of the town did not last forever, as all the townspeople had hoped.
Until one day, brutal bandits invaded, bringing devastating blows and destruction to the town.
at first.
The town mayor rallied the town's garrison, repelled the invading bandits, and reassured the townspeople:
The master of this land, the powerful Baron, will soon arrive to save everyone from this calamity.
But things backfired.
The territorial baron who should have appeared and protected them has yet to show up.
After the bandits broke through the town's defenses, they began an indiscriminate massacre.
The townspeople, who had hoped to be saved by the ruler, realized that they had been abandoned by the high and mighty lord, Baron.
then.
As panic spread, all the townspeople began to flee towards the outskirts of town, trying to escape their fate of being killed by bandits.
Vivi and Lancelot's families were also refugees during this bandit invasion.
The two families have known each other for many years and are good friends who support each other.
In Vivi's memories.
When danger strikes.
Her parents, like Lancelot's parents, made the same decision.
—Do everything in your power to seek a glimmer of hope for your child.
Lancelot's parents instructed him:
"Mom and Dad may not be able to accompany us on the road ahead."
So please take good care of yourself, and also of Vivi.
If you encounter danger or find yourself in trouble, you must strive to survive and protect her.
Her parents, on the other hand, gave her the following advice:
"Your parents will protect you and help you leave this dangerous town."
After that, you must listen to Lancelot, stay by his side, and don't cause him any trouble.
Because strangers outside won't take care of you like your parents, uncles, and aunts do.
After both sets of parents gave their instructions.
They then began their journey to escape the town that had fallen to bandits.
en route.
They were unfortunately discovered by bandits raiding the town.
Then, the first of them to die appeared; it was Lancelot's father.
He was originally a skilled craftsman who owned his own small workshop and produced some practical daily necessities.
Therefore, due to his profession, he was stronger than the average person, so he chose to step forward and take on the heavy responsibility of resisting bandits.
However, he was ultimately no different from an ordinary civilian. When faced with a brutal bandit wielding a sharp weapon, he was powerless and quickly suffered repeated defeats.
Ultimately, his death bought his family and friends, who were still on the run, a precious ten seconds.
But this escape route, lasting only ten seconds, is far from enough.
Next.
It was the death of Vivi's father, who was hacked to death by bandits, that bought the remaining women and children eight precious seconds.
Followed by.
The deaths of both mothers, coupled with the horrific acts of brutality committed by the bandits, bought the last child twenty precious seconds.
When images of the bandits' brutal acts of humiliation flash through my mind.
In the real world, Vivi began to tremble all over as an emotion called anger took over her consciousness.
And at this moment.
Just then, she heard the voice of "Lani" standing opposite her.
This voice overlapped perfectly with the voice she would hear next in her memory:
Do you hate these bandits who have humiliated your parents?
Do you want to escape this murderous town?
I can give you power, all we need to do is make a deal.
The gears of memory continue to turn.
The gray mist surrounding Vivi and "Lani" began to dissipate rapidly.
Instead, scenes from Vivi's memory of her hometown town, which had been overrun by bandits, appeared.
In Vivi's field of vision.
"Lani," dressed in an elegant black dress, stood between Vivi and the bandits who had humiliated her and Lancelot's mother, raising one hand.
Vivi's image overlapped with the image of herself in her memories.
Then he slowly began to speak, continuing the conversation that had just begun:
"What deal?"
A wicked smile crept across Lani's lips as she slowly uttered the words:
"Offer half of your soul."
He looked at Weiwei.
She answered without hesitation:
"I am willing."
The voice just fell.
The gray haze reappeared.
But the gray fog that appeared in Vivi's memory was much more spectacular and intense than the one before.
It quickly enveloped the entire town, and then spread to every corner of the town where the killing had taken place.
immediately.
Another burst of loud, ear-piercing laughter rang out:
"Hahaha!"
The owner of the voice was "Lani," no, to be precise, the person who had once made a soul deal with Vivi, the owner of the gray mist.
And when this soul-binding deal was reached.
Vivi finally witnessed the final scene of this memory that she had buried deep in her heart:
From within the gray mist, countless thorny vines began to emerge.
They quickly ensnared the brutal bandits who had violated Vivi and Lancelot's mother.
at first.
The bandits began to panic and tried to break free from the thorny vines.
But the more they struggled, the stronger the vines became in their hold.
finally.
The thorny vines that wrapped around these bandits acted like saws, tearing off their limbs and torsos in agony.
"what!!!"
The bandits, now mutilated and dismembered, rolled onto the ground, screaming in agony.
But the thorny gray vines did not stop binding them despite their screams.
Instead, they began to enter their bodies through the lacerations in their torsos.
immediately.
These gray, thorny vines began to frantically suck the blood of the bandits.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
They were drained dry by these deep-rooted, gray, thorny vines.
The gray, thorny vines, after absorbing enough blood...
Finally, emerging from the corpse of the dead bandit, a bewitching blood-red rose bloomed.
At this point, Vivi's memory came to an abrupt end.
As a result, the small town scenes surrounding her and "Lani" quickly disappeared.
Then, the gray fog returned.
Everything seems to have returned to its starting point.
After recalling this soul-binding transaction from the past.
Vivi's eyes were no longer unfocused.
She stared intently at "Lani" in front of her and called out her real name:
"Miss Morgan, what do you want to do?"
He looked at "Lani".
She first raised her hand and pulled a thorny vine from the gray mist, which then wrapped around her fingertips.
Then, she nodded slightly, adopting a dignified posture, and slowly began to speak:
"Of course, we've come to harvest the remaining half of your soul."
The "container" born for my revival.
Chapter 109: The Sun and Moon Reflect Each Other, Touching the "Origin of the Soul"
The perspective returns to Frosty Raven Town.
A powerful, jet-black horse galloped like a phantom through the now-silent streets.
On its back sat a blond youth with severely damaged armor and a solemn expression.
Undoubtedly, this person was Arthur, who was heading to the lord's manor.
He rode his black-haired horse, Night Shadow, leaning close to its back to shield himself from the oncoming gale.
After absorbing the incomplete Wind King's Mark, Nightshade advanced to the ranks of second-tier magical beasts.
Compared to ordinary second-tier magical beasts, the amount of wind element accumulated in its body is more than doubled.
At the same time, the Mark of the Wind King also enhanced its elemental bloodline talent, greatly reducing its control and consumption of its own type of magic.
Therefore, now.
This jet-black steed can unleash the second-tier wind magic "Swift Stride" for an extended period, providing its master Arthur with super-fast and sustained travel speed.
In addition, its four torsos are equipped with the extraordinary items that Arthur obtained from the alchemist Merlin, namely the "Baptism of Blood and Sweat".
