Unlike those who seldom come into contact with Seven-Star Advanced Cards and therefore do not understand some of the characteristics of Seven-Star Cards, although there are a huge number of high-star cards in Orloy's card library, he knows the function of each one very well.
So before Eggers could react, he already understood very clearly what the sudden disappearance of the positioning mark on Ke Jin meant.
But he didn't dare to believe it, nor did he want to believe it.
It was clear that person was still talking to me with a smile yesterday, and we even exchanged messages an hour ago, and promised to leave early and come back early. How could such a living person just disappear like that!
More importantly,
Rather than saying that it was an accident, it now seems more like a kind of fate that led to our meeting. At least before meeting that person, Oloyi had never thought that he would have someone in his heart. Before this relationship blossomed and bore fruit, it was cut short by a sudden disaster. This miserable and helpless thing should never happen to him who is called the "son of the goddess of luck"! !
Oloy's deep-rooted arrogance and self-conceit made him completely unwilling to pay attention to the facts before him. He picked out several cards in succession, trying to relocate Ke Jin's coordinates, but every attempt was like a drop in the ocean, with no response.
"Cousin..." Eggers saw that Oloy's eyes were beginning to turn red, and he couldn't help but call out.
"He will be fine!" Orloy interrupted Eggers angrily. He didn't want to hear any remarks that were unfavorable to Ke Jin at this moment, but he finally stopped obsessing over the positioning card. After a moment's hesitation, he finally picked out a divination card that could determine life and death.
——I just want to prove to Eggers that the man is really fine, otherwise this guy will definitely keep making noise.
Oloy said to himself secretly in his heart.
——It’s definitely not because I suspect Ke Jin has met with an accident…
——Absolutely not.
Eggers looked at Orloy holding the card with two fingers but not moving for a long time. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly and stretched out his hand.
"Let me do it."
Without waiting for Oloy to react, Eggers had already drawn the card. Without any hesitation, he closed his eyes and recalled Ke Jin's appearance and identity information, while choosing to activate the card.
The lavender card began to flash with an unsteady light between Eggers' fingers. The young man gently pressed the card on the table, and the faint light soon blossomed into a bright purple flame on the card surface. However, as time passed, the color of the flame became dimmer and dimmer, and the shape was slowly shrinking, and finally it became a small, weak flame like a faint candlelight, and the outer edge of this flame was almost colorless, only in the core of the flame could a little lavender halo be vaguely seen.
Under the flame, that is, the mirror-like surface of the card, did not project the shadow of the flame, but instead condensed a vague black shadow. If you look closely, the black shadow seems to be gradually wriggling and expanding, which makes people feel very uncomfortable at first glance.
Although Eggers had never used such high-star divination cards, one of the three major divine pools enshrined in the royal palace of the Imperial Galaxy was the divination card pool. Even though the cards drawn from different divination card pools had different characteristics, the ways of interpreting their information were similar. As a member of the royal family, Eggers had received relevant instruction since childhood, and he judged at a glance that Ke Jin was still alive - although the other party's vital signs seemed very weak, at least he was not dead yet, which was good news.
But Eggers was not blindly optimistic because of this - even Orloy, who was obviously relieved, was the same - from the information revealed by the card, the black shadow hidden under the flame was very bad. It seemed to be constantly consuming the energy of the soul flame. Perhaps this indicated that Ke Jin was in a very difficult trouble. This trouble put him in danger. If he did not intervene immediately to clear it up, I am afraid that this ball of life fire would be swallowed by the black shadow at any time.
Then what?
Now Ke Jin's whereabouts are unknown, even if they know he is in danger, they can't help him - at least Eggers can't think of a way at the moment. Although Oloy has many high-star cards with special powers, the power of the cards is limited after all. There are always some things that cannot be solved by cards alone.
The room fell into a suffocating silence. Just when Eggers was wondering if Orloy was also at his wits' end, the other party suddenly spoke.
"Eggs, you go out first."
Eggs looked at Oloy in surprise. The boy's face was calm and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"What are you going to do?" Eggers didn't understand why the other party suddenly wanted to get rid of him, but he always had a bad feeling.
"Get out immediately!" Oloy glared at him and said coldly, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
Now is definitely not the time to argue, and seeing that the other party was so persistent, Eggers could only withdraw helplessly.
***
After making sure that the other party had left, Oloy locked the door and cast a circle of secret room barrier in the room to ensure that it would not be spied on. Then he reopened the card library and turned to the last page without hesitation.
There is only one card on this page.
The card was golden and radiated a holy light like the scorching sun, but anyone who stared at the card would feel a chill and terror in their heart. Even Orloy, who was used to seeing all kinds of strange cards, couldn't help but reveal a fearful look when he saw it.
Although he was reluctant, Orloy still took the card. This gold card did not have any star ratings. On the surface, there were several planets of different colors, forming a large cross galaxy pattern. On the back of the card, there were several obscure ancient characters engraved. Orloy only knew the meaning of these characters after reading a lot of information.
——【Devil Sacrifice】
This was a card he accidentally drew from a wild card pool on a wild planet when he was traveling far away. When he drew this card, the card pool immediately withered and dried up, as if this card was born at the cost of the demise of its original card pool.
Although Oloy felt uncomfortable when he saw this card for the first time, it was a strange card he had never seen before, so he kept it. After returning to the palace, he consulted a lot of historical materials to study its origins, and finally confirmed that it should be the "Demon Sacrifice" card that was once famous in the ancient "Dark Star Era".
It is said that this kind of card is derived from religion and witchcraft. As long as enough money is paid, it can realize any wish of the user, even bring the dead back to life. But because it is too evil, with huge and uncontrollable energy, it was soon suppressed by the authorities at that time who were worried that someone would use this card to retaliate against them. This kind of card disappeared from history and was almost lost.
The content recorded in ancient documents was very limited, and Orloy had no way of knowing what happened to the people who used this card at the time. He also never thought that he, who had never asked for help from others, would one day risk using this very strange card.
But he had no choice, and no time to hesitate. If he was given a day, he might be able to come up with a more thoughtful and safer solution, but he had no idea about Ke Jin's situation. What if the other party was on the verge of life and death? What if the other party's chance of survival was this minute?
Having made up his mind, Orloy no longer hesitated. When the card was activated, he saw the planets on the surface of the card begin to rotate, and the star in the center of the cross galaxy suddenly burst out with dazzling light. Orloy subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was surprised to find that he was in the universe - this may be an illusion, but it was too real - the large cross galaxy on the surface of the card was suspended above Orloy, like a real celestial body that had existed since time immemorial, slowly rotating around the star in the middle.
Suddenly, a solemn voice spoke slowly.
[Young man, why did you summon me? ]
Oloy quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, but he could not see anyone except the vast starry sky and the movement of the planets. Before he could answer, the voice sounded again, revealing some doubts in a humane way.
[You are born with extraordinary luck, and you get what you ask for. You have no worries and no worries. You should not have anything to beg from me.]
"I'm not asking for this for myself." Oloi stared into space and said in a deep voice, "I'm asking for someone else's help. I hope that person can be safe and sound and survive."
The voice was silent for a moment, then quickly responded.
【I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your request. 】
Oloy was stunned: "Why? Can't you fulfill any wish?"
The originally solemn voice suddenly uttered a series of sneering laughs, as if mocking the naivety of the requester.
[You only satisfy your own selfish desires.] The voice said, [It is not my business to do such disgusting things as sacrificing oneself to save others.]
...Is there a classification of wishes? Oroi thought speechlessly. "Devil Sacrifice" requires a selfish wish, so if it is an "Angel Sacrifice" card, can you make a wish that has nothing to do with yourself?
After thinking for a moment, Oroi spoke again.
"This is actually a selfish wish," he said. "That person is my sweetheart. I like him and don't want to lose him, so I want to save him. Only if he survives can I live better. Saving him is saving myself."
The mocking tone in that voice became stronger.
[Young man, please do not try to test my omniscience - I know that you two have no relationship at all, and he is not your partner.]
"Not yet," Oroi said stiffly, "but one day he will be - as long as he survives!"
[Even if he survives, it doesn't mean that you two will definitely become a couple.] The voice said seriously, [You two still don't have a special relationship, so the wish cannot be fulfilled.]
"But I like him!!" Oroi said angrily, "It is precisely because I like him that I want to save him out of selfish motives! Isn't this a selfish wish?!"
If it was a passerby who I didn't even bother to look at, who the hell would care about his life or death!!
[So what if you like him?] The voice was unusually stubborn and businesslike, [Essentially, the two of you are irrelevant to each other - because he doesn't like you, you are just wishful thinking.]
...Critical Hit!!
Oloy was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but the voice continued.
[If your wish is to make him fall in love with you wholeheartedly, I can easily do that.] When talking about the "business" that he is good at, the voice suddenly became attentive, [and the price will not be too exaggerated, it is definitely within your acceptable range.]
If it's just this simple wish, I might as well use the love card! I still need you!
Oloy glared at the void fiercely, but after this negotiation, he had some understanding of the temper of this "devil". His brain worked rapidly, and soon Oloy came up with a wish that met the other party's requirements.
"Okay." Oloy suddenly smiled and looked up into the void, "It must be a selfish wish related to me, right?"
[That’s right.]
"Then I want to make an exchange." Oloy raised his voice and spoke word by word.
"I'm tired of this smooth life. I want to exchange my luck with that person's luck. Can you... do it?"
