Chapter 702: Lanqi took away Kaliyela
When a dance ends, the dance party also comes to an end.
Lanci and Talia walked out of the Church of Our Lady of Parië and stepped onto the festive streets again.
The night was deep, but the lively atmosphere of the flower city of Parière was not diminished at all.
On both sides of the street, colorful lanterns are still hanging, decorating the night like a dream.
At this moment, a loud noise broke the sky.
“…”
Lanqi and Talia subconsciously raised their heads, and saw a gorgeous firework suddenly burst out in the dark night.
Then came the second and third fireworks, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was lit up by colorful fireworks, like a blooming garden.
"When you are gone, maybe I will think of you when I see the fireworks."
Talia murmured, the firelight illuminating her face.
"Why do you say that?"
Lanqi felt that such words were not something Talia would say, but more like the sigh of a sentimental girl like Hyperion.
"Maybe you are making cards in the sky."
Talia looked at him and answered.
"???"
Lanqi suspected that Talia was here on a mission.
The two stopped to watch for a while before starting to walk again.
Fireworks bloomed one after another, shrouding their figures in a colorful halo from time to time, and then dimmed, turning into embers and falling into the night.
In this way, Lanqi and Talia walked slowly along the festival road, admiring the scenery along the roadside.
Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, there were still many pedestrians on the street.
Groups of people stopped to admire the fireworks in the sky, or gathered in front of the stalls to enjoy the delicious food.
Laughter and exclamation mixed with the loud noise of fireworks merged into a joyful noise.
Before they knew it, they had arrived in front of the landscape manor of the Platinum Palace Spirit Hotel.
Looking up, the towering outline of the hotel is faintly visible in the night, with warm yellow lights shining through the windows.
"We'll practice for an hour or two, then take a break."
Lanqi said to her as they stepped into the hotel lobby.
During the days they came to Parriere, they were trying to make cards in Lanqi's room.
The formula they adopted did not matter much even if it exploded a few times in the first two steps, so they were quite confident in their usual practice. Only after the first two steps of card making were successful would they add the most critical ingredient [Kaliera's Shadow Weaving Record].
"Then it seems like I have to melt Lanfu again."
Talia thought about it.
When they collaborate to make cards, being able to communicate with each other through thoughts is an indispensable part, otherwise their cooperation will only be worse, or in other words, having her replace the Great Love Poet can bring them convenience beyond imagination.
"Melt it."
Lanqi felt that the time without the great poet was much quieter in some ways.
He'll just be a little tired.
"Then I won't be polite and will consume your mana for a while longer."
Talia nodded.
In fact, she quite missed the state of a supernormal life form like the Crazy Love Demon King. Every day she was between a living being and a spirit. She could fall asleep in a second and wake up refreshed.
Most importantly, she actually wanted to try using Lanqi's body to enjoy the delicious food again. His taste buds were indeed different...
“…”
Lanqi looked at Talia swallowing her saliva and felt a little palpitated for some reason, but he couldn't guess what she was thinking at the moment.
Soon, Lanqi and Talia returned to their room on the sixth floor of the hotel.
The moment the door was opened, the warm lights in the porch lit up, illuminating the entrance space.
"Welcome home meow."
Boss Cat was sitting on the ground, as if he had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Boss Cat, so you are at home. We were wondering where you went."
“Meow.”
Lanqi breathed a sigh of relief, hung his coat on the coat rack beside him, then picked up the black bread and walked towards the card-making workshop which was arranged as a study deep in the room.
For this trip, since Lanqi knew that they would practice card making often, he asked Countess Rosalinda to set up a set of the highest-standard explosion-proof barrier and card-making equipment for them in the hotel when he arrived at the Person Kingdom.
With a creak, the door of the study was opened. Unlike the usual mess, the workshop was now filled with various drawings that had been sorted out, and the materials piled on the workbench had been classified again.
The one sitting at the workbench, concentrating on his research, is the poet of great love.
She seemed to have come back early today.
After I came back, I started to study and research. These days, I also helped Lanqi and Talia sort out the information.
Whenever she was concentrating on studying magic cards, even Talia's call could not bring her back to her senses.
But to Lanqi and Talia's surprise, they found that the poet's appearance had changed after they came back.
Her originally loose long hair was tied up, and the remaining hair fell softly on both sides of her cheeks and the back of her neck. She was wearing a pure white shirt and a slim-cut black suit skirt, exuding a capable and neat temperament from head to toe.
“This body…”
Talia muttered to herself as she looked at the figure of the great poet of love.
If you ignore the color of her eyes, the Great Poet of Love would look exactly like the real Talia at first glance.
But what surprised her was not that the great poet wore her clothes, because she told Lanfu that she did not bring Lanfu's clothes on this trip, so Lanfu could wear whatever she wanted of her clothes. What really surprised her was that Lanfu could even imitate her temperament.
It was just like every time the Great Love Poet was in the card-making room, he was asked to dress like this, and over time, the Great Love Poet got used to it.
"Ah, it's Lanqi and Tata."
The poet of great love finally looked up, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his eyes, and then stretched hard.
"Lanfu, have you ever been asked to dress like this?"
Talia asked confused.
"Yes, when Ranch and I were making important magic cards, we would dress up as you and sit next to him."
As soon as he relaxed, the poet returned to his usual coquettish tone.
“…”
Talia stared at Lanqi beside her again, causing a chill in the air.
She now felt that Lanqi was becoming more and more abnormal.
“No no!”
When Lanqi heard this, he was almost scared to death and was about to explain something.
"For him, it's impossible to make cards without you, so he hopes you'll be by his side."
The poet of great love leaned back in her chair, her eyes curved like crescent moons, and she continued speaking with a smile.
“…”
Talia fell silent again.
But he no longer felt so disgusted with Lanqi's gaze.
"Lanfu, can you give me your body for a while longer?"
Talia looked at the Great Love Poet and asked.
"No problem, take it and use it. Thank you for taking care of me these two days."
The poet of great love waved his hand casually.
She held out her palm to Talia, asking for the earrings.
To the Great Love Poet, Talia seemed to be attractive in herself. As long as Talia needed it, the Great Love Poet would be willing to be her high-level fusion material.
"I'll cook for you next time."
Talia pulled out a pair of black metal earrings and handed them to the Great Love Poet.
The surface of the metal earrings was covered with a thin layer of flickering demonic spells, as if they were extracted from the ancient purgatory abyss of the demon world. They absorbed and reflected the weakest wavelengths of light, showing unstable colors from deep red to dark purple under the light.
The one that Taliyah put on by pulling her hair aside from her ears was a curved metal spike that looked like a fang, like a devil's horn.
The other one is long and slender with a graceful curve, like a devil's tail.
The poet of great love took the earring handed to him by Talia and hung it on his left ear.
The magic power of the barrier in the workshop, which was originally as solid as a rock, began to ripple. Touched by the supreme power, the figure of the poet of great love gradually dissipated and became blurred at this moment. The boundaries of his body began to disappear, and constantly turned into black mist and deep blue tides that enveloped Talia's body.
At this moment, Talia was protected by an invisible force, and the magic power around her seemed to form an isolation area.
The magic power gathered and woven in the air until it formed a cocoon and then dispersed. After a few breaths, she slowly opened her eyes again.
There was no change from before, except that the eyes became different colors, one gold and one blue.
"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong."
Lanqi kept repeating the sound of the timer alarm as he hurriedly exchanged cards with the cat boss, and once again exchanged for magic cards that restored the full body's mana and increased the mana limit.
"I have to disguise my eye color again."
Talia muttered to herself.
Ever since she came to Huadu, she has been wearing golden contact lenses to restore her eye color to its original state.
Just as she was about to start working.
"No, no, no, just let me handle getting the materials!"
Lanqi quickly pressed her shoulders and made her sit on the chair.
Not only did he prepare the ingredients, he also took the time to bring a glass of juice and a plate of snacks and placed them in front of Talia.
“…”
Talia realized that she was back to her old self.
Any action she takes will consume more of Lanqi's mana.
For Lanqi, being able to lie down or sit is the best standby state.
Although it felt good to be served by Lanqi, she always felt something was weird.
In the workshop, Lanqi walked to the safe, opened it and took out the materials stored in it.
Boss Cat shook his head.
It couldn't figure out the specific names of these materials, as they were obviously far beyond its cognitive scope.
Every time Ranch and Talia made a card, it would retreat outside the barrier, and every time it exploded, it was obvious that a lot of money was exploding.
"Okay, Boss Cat, I'm going to open the barrier."
As he spoke, Lanci had already leisurely walked to the workbench. The table was densely covered with material proportions and production processes, but he and Talia had already memorized them without even looking at them.
After a moment, he opened the magic barrier of the workshop, and Boss Cat jumped out and was isolated outside.
However, it was accustomed to observing Lanqi's card-making process. Every time it would squat outside the workshop and stare inside intently.
At first, it thought Lanqi was a noob who could only blow up the card.
Cat was surprised to find that he was actually a platinum-level card maker registered with the Southern Continent Card Creators Association.
But on second thought, Lanqi, the card maker, has unmatched card-blasting ability.
As a platinum-level card maker, Lanci had blown up dozens of cards under its nose but was never able to produce a finished product, which even made it suspect that this guy was deliberately studying how to maximize the power of the card explosion.
Every time the card explodes, the noise is terrifyingly loud.
Later it discovered that this seemed to be Lanqi's unique talent.
He took card bombing to the extreme, and thus his lifelong skill, Nuclear Fusion Wolf, was born.
"Tata, can we start now?"
Noticing the gaze from the cat boss, Lanqi still focused his attention on the work at hand.
"no problem."
Talia nodded.
The complete set of equipment they use to make cards is of the highest standard provided by the Palieu branch of the Southern Continent Card Makers Association. One platinum-level card maker alone can have enough convenient privileges of the association, and now there are two, although Talia's review and certification will take some time.
Lanci first placed a dark purple cube loaded with an information recording program on a shelf in a corner of the workshop.
This device can record the entire card-making process and error parameters for easy review. Of course, when applying for patents and promotion qualifications, if high-quality magic cards are made under unofficial supervision, it can also be used as authoritative proof.
Just like he had done before, considering that there might be biased senior executives at headquarters who might take the opportunity to make things difficult for Talia during her review process, Lanqi, as a senior, knew what preparations he should make in order to use them as a powerful bargaining chip for the right to speak at critical moments.
Although the device allows the core steps and properties of the finished cards to be concealed, under its certification, there is no possibility of falsification in the final quality and rank assessment.
After everything was ready, Lanqi and Talia came to the workbench and sat down.
Taliyah cleared a large workspace and pulled out three trays from a nearby shelf, filled with a variety of materials.
She carefully checked the various ingredients that had been mixed in advance and placed them on the table.
With Lanci's assistance, Talia began to purify and process these materials with a calm look and skillful techniques.
"When will I ever reach your level of skill?"
No matter how many times Lanqi watched it, he felt that Talia's process was so natural.
"It's not very realistic, but you can hold on to my thighs and let me help you in the future."
Talia replied.
“It seems to be true…”
Lanqi thought about it carefully and realized that if Talia could really completely replace the Great Love Poet, he would not need to work so hard on magic engineering.
The two chatted and collaborated.
In order to make magic cards with Kaliela's Shadow Weaving as the core, Lanci spent almost all his savings and the money he earned in the Flower City. Even though he had a high discount from the Card Makers Association and Countess Rosalinda had already introduced the best-priced auxiliary materials for him from various branches, the cost was still staggering.
Most card makers have trouble keeping their hands steady even to make the final adjustments to the raw materials.
Lanqi is just born with a good heart, and can remain calm even when walking on a tightrope. As for Talia, practice makes perfect, and she doesn't even need to maintain her mood to do it 100%.
In the silence, the only sound in the card-making workshop was the ticking of the clock.
More than ten minutes passed in a flash, and the basic processing of raw materials was ready.
Allow them to try making the card a few times.
"Be serious."
Talia said softly, turning her gaze to Lanci who was mixing magic ink beside her.
Her skills are only stable. If she wants to reach the upper limit, she must rely on her assistant Lanqi to perform well.
At such moments, she had to remind Lanqi and put some pressure on him, otherwise he would become too complacent.
"Can you be a little more cold? I feel like you've become a little gentler today, and it doesn't feel right anymore."
Lanqi came over, looked at Talia's face, and then said.
"You're still enjoying yourself here, right?"
Talia really thought that Lanqi was seriously ill, and her blood pressure rose sharply.
“Eight hundred years of aging is indeed the ultimate enjoyment.”
Before Lanqi could finish his words, Talia pinched his waist with a slightly blushing face.
"Is this correct?"
Talia stared at Lanqi, a stern look gradually appearing on her face.
But Lanqi's expression was still a little confused.
"You may not love the poet's Tata like Tata yet."
Lanci commented.
“…”
Talia didn't understand what was different about herself.
"It's still not right, meow. I feel a little too shy."
The cat boss in the distance helped Lanqi add.
It does feel like Tata didn't act like the poet.
"So what should I do?"
Talia asked Lanqi with a hint of distracting thoughts in her golden eyes.
"You are just very cold, as if I owe you money. It makes me feel like there is a strict teacher watching me closely. Now you look more like a big gray cat that can be hugged than before..."
As soon as he said this, Lanqi felt the air getting colder and dared not say another word. A cold hand also gently stroked the back of his neck.
"Then I think I understand. Is that the feeling?"
Talia's eyes seemed to tell him that if he mentioned learning to meow and feeding the baby again, she couldn't guarantee what would happen.
"……Yes."
Lanqi nodded obediently.
"Let's get started."
As soon as she finished speaking, Talia handed the prepared magic ink to Lanqi.
This ink is carefully blended from psychedelic crystal powder and spiritual magic core liquid, and contains enormous magical energy.
The moment Lanqi's fingertips touched the test tube, the magic power around him began to resonate with it, as if it was actively attracted by the ink.
Even without testing, Lanci could conclude by intuition that Talia had got the proportions just right.
He carefully poured ink into the magic carving knife, feeling the flow of magic power.
At the same time, Talia also lifted the ban on basic materials.
These include Moonstone Dust, which is commonly used in spiritual magic items. It is collected from moonstone on a full moon night and can enhance the spiritual influence of jewelry materials; as well as Telekinetic Feathers, which are often used in conjunction with spiritual or telekinetic control abilities; and Wise Vines, which are vines that only grow on intelligent tree-like monsters in the Demon Realm and can enhance memory and comprehension when making medicine.
In addition, according to Professor Bolao's advice, a certain amount of illusion item ingredients were mixed, including Phantom Sand, a special sand collected from the Illusion Forest of the Krelian Empire, which can be used to enhance the realism of illusions. Mirror Crystal can reflect the user's deep spiritual images and enhance the concretization of illusions. Finally, the Night Petals are also a medicine, containing a natural effect that causes hallucinations.
As the crystals on the surface of many materials cracked and peeled off, the next step in the production process was to enchant the materials, use them as the cornerstone, lay out the magic circuits, and extend the rituals to carry a huge and sophisticated energy network.
The whole process requires participants to concentrate and cooperate well to ensure success.
Lanqi held the pen and wielded the knife with incredible precision, while Talia engraved each rune and embedded them in the ritual circuit.
Human words and demonic words intertwined into strange patterns, as dense as a spider web, constantly wriggling and extending.
The air was filled with fluctuations of magical power, causing Boss Cat to feel dizzy even through the barrier.
But this time the two of them cooperated exceptionally well. They were fully focused and oblivious to everything in the outside world, as if the flow of time had stopped.
This time, they did not cooperate with each other or pay attention to each other's ability to cooperate with themselves as usual.
They just do their own work, supplement the other party when needed, or actively guide the other party.
Just like the consensus they reached during the final battle in the Bosen Demon Realm that night.
As the card making progresses, the trajectory of the magic power flowing within the card becomes clearer, and magic arrays begin to take shape. The entire structure looks magnificent, but it hides dangers within. Once the carrying limit is exceeded, it may collapse and disintegrate at any time, and even cause a devastating disaster.
"This time, it seems that we can make the card directly?"
Lanqi kept his eyes on the work in his hands, but he couldn't hide his surprise when he said to Talia.
Tonight's practice went so smoothly that it was like they had found each other's instruction manual.
Moreover, Talia was more tolerant of him. When he encountered difficulties, she would directly control his body and let him take over her body to complete slightly simpler tasks.
In the past, the two of them had never reached this point.
If it continues, it might not just be practicing, but actually using Kaliela's Shadow Weaving Record.
"Are you sure?"
Talia didn't stop, but responded to him in her heart.
In the next few steps, they would begin to join Kaliera's Shadow Weaving Record, and they could not afford to fail again.
"The first time you do it, you will feel strong, the second time you do it, and the third time you will be exhausted. Now that you are in good shape, you should continue."
Lanci said.
"good."
Talia didn't hesitate and followed his instructions.
If it were an ordinary card maker, if the magic card showed signs of instability, he would probably give up at this time, collect more data, and check whether there was any need for improvement in the previous steps.
But Lanci has the coaching mindset, and he believes in his players when they are in good shape.
If any miracle is missed, there may never be a chance to replicate it. He is determined to carry this card with him all the way to the end, even if there is no return ahead.
Originally, similar signs would appear every time he exploded the cards. Ominous sparks would frequently flash before the magic cards took shape, and the entire structure would be shaky and precarious.
Now that Talia is here, the instability of magic cards is actually much smaller than when Lanqi was making cards with the Great Love Poet before.
According to Yilanqi, the success rate is very high.
No one knows better than him when the magic cards will explode and when they won't.
Talia listened to Lanqi and calmly carried out the next step of debugging.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Once everything is ready, it’s time to put in [Kaliera’s Shadow Weaving Record].
This cool polyhedron orb has already appeared in Lanci's hand. Every facet seems to have been carefully carved by Kaliela himself. There is a slight gradient in the light blue tone. From the center to the edge, the color gradually becomes more elegant, like the waves in the ocean.
Although the two stopped talking, they knew that the real challenge was about to begin.
This material is very special. When used, it causes hallucinations due to the magical power it emits.
If one person falls into hallucination, the other person will help him/her control the body and continue to complete the steps.
Otherwise, even a brief moment of distraction may lead to all previous efforts being wasted.
Talia said nothing as she put shackles on the magic circuit, completely blocking all escape routes, even though she knew that the card could turn into dust in her hands at any time.
When necessary, they will even give up control of their own bodies and can dominate the other party's body at any time.
The cat boss was stunned. He had never seen such card-making collaboration before.
Lanqi and Talia didn't seem to look at each other at all, and didn't even pay attention to each other's progress. They were just telling each other with their actions -
"If you are not a parallel importer, then we will definitely meet at the right place in the next step."
If the collaboration between Ranchi and the Great Love Poet looks like one soul controlling two bodies, then the collaboration between Ranchi and Tata is more like two souls controlling one body.
Two people's bodies, either of them can use it, as long as it is correct.
It was as if they had both left the physical level and were just two souls collaborating.
As the minute hand turned in circles, the power brewing in the workshop grew more and more intense.
“Meow meow meow!”
The cat boss was so scared that his fur stood up.
Lanci and Talia have blown up countless cards during this period. It seems like they are failures again and again, but in fact, every time they are preparing for today. They both know too well where the other will go wrong, and can even guess where the other may conflict with themselves in the unfinished steps.
Once the magic fluctuation explodes this time, it will not be on the same level as before.
It is always ready to unleash its invincible wind magic.
In the past, before going to the Northern Continent, it was still weak. Watching Lanqi making cards, it did not dare to stay for even a second, for fear that it would be caught up in the disaster of landslides and earthquakes if it made the slightest mistake.
But now it's different, it's a cat with five lives! In the card-making workshop, Lanqi stared intently at the magic woven by Talia.
In his eyes, completing this card is far more important than life.
"Lanqi, do you still have enough mana?"
Talia asked casually.
According to her judgment, not only does Lanqi need to consume a lot of mana when making cards, but more importantly, he needs to allocate mana to her. If Lanqi's mana is exhausted in the end, all their efforts will be wasted.
"Use it as you like, don't worry about it."
Lanqi spoke, and continued to carve the inscription while muttering to himself, with a calm and confident expression, as if he understood everything.
He would never make Talia suffer.
Talia remained silent upon hearing this.
Thinking back carefully, Lanqi had always been very generous to her. Even if he really had no money, he would still let her live a comfortable life and eat whatever she wanted.
She stopped thinking about it and focused on the final step. The two of them worked together seamlessly and ignored the violent energy fluctuations that continued to occur on the card.
Finally, accompanied by an invisible energy, the space of the entire workshop suddenly twisted.
Circle after circle of visible magical ripples quickly spread outward, causing the objects in the workshop to twist one after another.
"Oh no, this is Kaliela-chan's most fundamental power, meow!"
The cat boss huddled up with his head in his hands.
It is quite familiar with this magic.
This is not the magic of Ranci or Talia, but the magic of the terrible great demon Kaliela.
“…”
Lanqi felt that if this was ninth-level magic, Talia might not be able to resist it.
He will definitely be hit and fall asleep.
But now the only thing left is to trust Talia.
The guests on other floors of the hotel all seemed to hear a buzzing sound in their ears, and then they lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
Lanqi and Talia fell down one after another and lay on the table.
Even though her face was pressed against the table, Talia was still trying to hold on and complete the last step.
At this time, sleepiness began to surge in like a tide, and it was impossible to resist.
I was almost half asleep and half awake, and I couldn't tell whether it was my will or my body that was doing the work.
At this most critical moment, they were unable to resist the magical power of the illusion unleashed by [Kaliera's Shadow Weaving] and were both hit. With reluctance and sleepiness, their eyelids gradually closed and their vision dimmed.
…
Consciousness is intermittent.
It seems as if I can see the flickering candlelight casting scattered and lingering shadows under the stars, and the vast night sky is like a still pool of water.
The starlight in the night sky and the unique red light of purgatory are intertwined and complement each other, adding a touch of magic to this dark environment.
This place looks like a place I've seen before.
Purgatory City Pascual, Purgatory Corridor College.
In an office at the deepest part of the top floor, an old chandelier under a high ceiling filled with a sense of history is emitting soft light, which is reflected on the dark brown wooden floor.
Opposite the marble fireplace, there is a comfortable office chair and a wide brown wooden table. The cover of the magic book on the table has been worn by time and the edges are slightly warped.
Outside the large wooden-framed window, the starlight from the demonic world spilled into the room, overlapping with the lights to form a coral reef.
Next to the square coffee table by the window, there is a soft woven armchair, which gives a leisurely feeling of retirement home.
Although this forbidden room will not hinder or harm students, it is physically difficult to unlock or push it open.
However.
Accompanied by rustling sounds outside the door, the envelope opening on the door of the room was opened.
She turned into a gray kitten and easily slipped into the principal's office through the opening of the envelope.
“…”
When she landed on the ground, she unexpectedly transformed into a demon girl.
Entering the principal's office can be said to be the highest achievement for students in this school, and few students dare to challenge it.
According to school rules, breaking into the principal's office without permission is a serious violation of discipline.
Once discovered by the director, they will be executed immediately.
But correspondingly, if a student’s life is threatened, as long as he escapes into the principal’s office, the teacher will no longer be able to chase the student, because the teacher does not dare to enter the principal’s office without permission.
Therefore, if a student is in a desperate situation and still has a chance to escape, he or she will run to the principal's office.
If the principal is not there, the principal's office becomes a temporary safe house. If the principal is there, and you run into the principal, the principal will personally execute the students who violate the rules and give them the highest fear of death.
How to accurately infer whether the principal's office is a safe room or a dangerous room is a test of students' luck, wisdom and courage.
However, there are very few students like her who come to the principal's office simply out of curiosity.
"I'll just say the principal isn't here."
She spoke to herself emotionlessly, as if mocking the overly cautious demon.
However, the principal's office was not as interesting as expected. There was just a swimming pool.
I don't know which psychopath repaired it.
Suddenly, her gaze stopped at one side of the principal's office.
Then move it away.
There, there stood an unknown undead ghost, whose entire body was surrounded by black fog, with only its eyes glowing with a faint green light, and he almost failed to notice its existence.
Logically speaking, the undead that have sneaked into the Purgatory Corridor Academy should be cleared out quickly.
But the state of that undead was very special, and no breath or magic could be sensed from him.
He even looked like he had been in the principal's office for a long time. He was not at all frightened by the newcomers. He was like a dead old tree. No one knew what he was waiting for.
Then there is only one answer, this undead is quite special, even other demons in the school may not be able to see him.
Generally speaking, only those whose souls were extremely powerful or deformed during their lifetime, and who had overly strong obsessions, would become undead.
It stands to reason that no undead should be able to sneak into the principal's office, unless the barrier of this school does not exclude him. Could it be that he was actually a powerful demon when he was alive?
Just as she was thinking about it.
【Did you see me, the kitten that sneaked in. 】
A strange and vicissitudes of life voice floated in her ears.
She was slightly surprised.
Sure enough, this undead had not been discovered by the demons for a long time.
The ghost was wrapped in black mist, his face and expression could not be seen, only his deep green pupils were clearly visible.
“…”
The gray-haired demon girl ignored him and pretended not to see or hear him.
This ghost was very weak and broken after a long time, almost disappearing. It was not difficult to subdue him and make him a familiar.
Accordingly, he can only become a low-level familiar, and may also bring negative effects.
No matter what, she absolutely does not want to be involved with this kind of thing of unknown origin, so it is best not to provoke it.
[How is the blood clan doing now? 】
The dark undead seemed to still believe that the little demon girl could see him, so he spoke to her.
“…”
absurd.
She thought to herself.
The blood clan is a history of a hundred years ago. How could there still be demons caring about the blood clan in this peaceful and prosperous age? It seems that he was just an old antique who was frightened by the blood clan when he was alive.
Soon, she turned around and turned back into a little gray cat again, leaving the principal's office indifferently.
【……】
The dark ghost did not bother her, but just watched her with a smile, and continued to stay in the principal's office, waiting for the next demon to appear.
【Here is where everything begins. 】
[I, who had no memories, met her when she was young. We were connected by fate and experienced an unforgettable journey together, which included gains and losses, until——]
[At the end of the journey, I will kill her with my own hands. ]
【……】
…
In the flower city of Parière, it was still dark outside the window.
The long night has passed.
It seemed to be drizzling again, so that it was still dark gray near dawn.
The cat boss poked his head out from his curled-up state and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the workshop didn't explode.
It was just that at the end there was a burst of energy, and they were all affected by Kaliera's magic.
"Meow, you guys!"
It was a little worried about the condition of Lanqi and Tata, who were both lying on the table, as if they were sleeping even more soundly than it was.
However, both of them gradually began to show signs of recovery. With trembling fingertips, they slowly propped themselves up from the work table and tried to shake their dizzy heads.
It seemed that the interference of Kaliela's magic had dissipated just now.
"Tata...I seem to have dreamed of you..."
Lanqi covered his head, feeling as if he saw a young version of Talia.
"I also seem to..."
Talia couldn't remember it clearly, but she felt as if she had seen a dark ghost, and those emerald green eyes, as she recalled, were exactly like Ranki's.
The moment they woke up, they felt that it was all over.
There was no time to talk much, just rummaging through the table.
If you fail to complete the final steps, the card will definitely be lost.
"I'm sorry, Lanqi, I couldn't resist the magic of Kaliela..."
"It's not your fault. I made all the decisions. If anything goes wrong, it's all my fault."
“Woo…”
Just as their hearts were beating extremely fast.
I discovered that under the paper on the table, there was a magic card that was almost transparent to the point of being invisible, emitting a faint orange-red glow.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
"Tata, is it done?"
“It seems so!”
Talia was relieved.
Despite this, Lanqi's attitude just now made her believe that there would be nothing wrong in cooperating with this person.
"Identify it?"
Lanci asked.
Talia nodded nervously, she reached out and easily grasped the card that exuded terrifying magic in the eyes of the cat boss.
The card danced in front of the two of them, emitting a dazzling brilliance, as if carrying the supreme glory of the ancient gods.
【Overflowing Tenderness】
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Attribute: Spirit/Illusion]
[Level: 8]
[Effect: Forces all targets except the target itself to fall asleep, and they will fall into a dream that is doomed to never come true or the best memory of the past. The caster can interfere with the dream. The cooldown time is 120 seconds.]
[Note: Love is such a magical thing. The more you try to catch it, the more it will make you fall, and the more you know how to let it go, the more it will gradually overflow. ]
"hiss--"
Talia didn't expect that she could really restore the innate magic of the great demon Kaliela to a certain extent.
"Lanqi, why don't you wait until you are at level 8 before using this card? This magic is more compatible with you."
She handed the card to Ranchi.
It is said that Ranchibi Kaliyela can also use the Falling Tenderness.
Although this [Overflowing Tenderness] is slightly different from [Falling Tenderness], Lanqi will definitely use it.
"By the time I reach the eighth level, the Krelian Empire will probably have conquered the southern continent. If you bind the same thing as me, my slots will be occupied by epics, and it will not be suitable for binding more epics in the future."
Lanqi had thought about this a long time ago. Even if he encountered a high-quality card that could not be untied, he would probably only consider one more.
He also wanted to see if he could get the ultimate card related to Lancros of the Black Sun at the end of the Blood Moon Destruction.
"By binding this card, can I replace Kaliela when cooperating with you?"
Talia looked at the card and murmured in confusion.
This kind of unreasonable large-scale group control has a very high upper limit.
Although the ninth-order original version of Kaliela is stronger - as long as the Fallen Kaliela continues to cast spells and maintain the barrier under high load, the enemy will not be able to break free from the dream even if it is attacked.
But this one is not bad either, it is a low power one-time release spell.
"It should be possible. Whether it's the demons' innate magic, their cold temperament, or the accumulation of years..."
Lanqi agreed, but before he could finish, Talia grabbed his heart.
Another benefit of the Crazy Love Demon King state is that it can directly give Ranchi a heartbeat warning.
"I, I mean, even if you disguise yourself as Cariella, Hyperion won't be able to find out."
Lanqi quickly changed his words.
“…”
Talia thought about it and thought to herself that next time Lanqi would take her into the Shadow World.
The identity he is most likely to play is Kaliela.
Because the film world will assign the challenger the identity of the most suitable historical figure to interpret, if you now learn how to be gentle, the probability of this will increase significantly.
It seemed that even if Kaliera was replaced by her, Hyperion would not be able to detect it, because Kaliera's face had an illusion magic, and most demons could not see her true appearance.
Then, I won't let Hyperion find out. It might be a good idea to pretend to be Kaliela and spend some time with her. "And this card is very practical even if you think it's life magic. If you feel that Hyperion can't sleep well in the future, just give her one before going to bed."
Lanqi remembered that this was what Kaliera did, but Kaliera's original version of [Falling Tenderness] could not be used too much, as excessive use would hurt the soul, but this [Overflowing Tenderness] was purely natural and harmless.
“Yes.”
Talia immediately felt that this magic was better than anything else. She looked at the translucent card in her hand with love. "Lanqi, I will continue to help you make magic cards in the future. We have found a way to cooperate with each other."
She looked at Lanqi and said with a smile.
Hyperion is always easily awakened by nightmares, likes to talk in her sleep, and has a bad sleeping posture.
This magic has no side effects and can make Hyperion have sweet dreams every night. If it can make Hyperion sleep soundly, you don't even have to worry about her pulling off the quilt in the middle of the night.
It is simply a must-have for mothers that Hugh Bao likes the most.
…
Meanwhile, outside the hotel.
On this rainy morning in Parière, the city of flowers, thick dark clouds covered the sky, turning into a huge black curtain that swallowed up the faint light of dawn.
There was a damp and cold smell in the air, and raindrops hit the bluestone pavement continuously, making a monotonous muffled sound.
Occasionally a sharp cold wind whistled past, blowing up the withered yellow leaves on the roadside, making them spin and dance on the empty streets.
In the distance, the bells of Notre-Dame de Parié sounded deep and long.
I don't know how long it was before a shrill and rapid alarm tore through the silence, like a sharp dagger cutting through the solemn night.
The sirens roared through the sky, echoing in the empty streets, awakening the sleeping flower city of Parië.
People came out of their homes one after another, with panic and confusion written all over their faces.
Having just experienced the turmoil a few days ago, the nerves of the residents of Huadu are now sensitive and fragile.
Some people panicked and ran straight to the nearest temple to seek shelter, while others gathered in groups of three or five on the streets, exchanging speculations in whispers.
Until a magic vehicle drove by on the street, an officer in military uniform was standing on the roof of the military vehicle with a solemn expression, holding a black magic loudspeaker in his hand, and it sounded at the same time as the city broadcast:
[One hour ago, our country was invaded by the army of the Kremer Empire! The United Kingdom Parliament and the Persian government have issued an emergency general mobilization order, calling on all citizens who are willing to serve the country to immediately go to the local conscription office to sign up for the army and fight to defend the motherland and resist aggression! ]
