Chapter 12-12- Witch and Evil God
The morning light shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the desk. Yvette's slender white fingers gently moved between the yellowed pages, flipping through a book called "Linguistics: From Beginner to Expertise".
After a while, she closed her eyes in pain, leaned back on the chair, and let out a delicate and painful moan.
During these two days, she had tried her best by communicating through gestures, comparing texts, using phonetic symbols, and looking up information, but she still could not figure out where the language used by this foreign blonde girl came from.
Not only does it not belong to the Jade Language or Silver Mirror Language, even the hundreds of dialects derived from it from various continents do not seem to match.
This feeling of working hard but getting no results made her feel extremely exhausted.
Then she turned her head slightly and looked out the French window at the manor. The girl was sitting on a wicker swing and swinging. Looking at her exquisitely crafted classical dress and the intricately embroidered neckline, Yvette gradually came up with a bold idea.
Could this little golden retriever also be a time traveler?
But unlike her own soul, she traveled through time in a physical body? So when she suddenly appeared, her clothes were so new and exquisite, with a full sense of medieval style?
Thinking of this, Yvette, who was unwilling to continue working on the topic of "origin civilization language research", gradually thought of another field.
That is, mind magic!
Yes, in the origin civilization, telepathy and hypnosis are real restricted magic.
However, there are many restrictions on its use, including qualification certificates, special conditions, and related equipment. Therefore, in most cases, it is only used to treat mental illness or interrogate criminals.
Now, what Yvette has to do is to use her many years of rune design experience as a foundation to quickly develop a communication-type mental magic to meet temporary communication needs.
Half a month later, after visiting the ruins of psychiatric hospitals, police stations and other places, and combining the information she collected with her years of experience in rune design, Yvette's initial attempt at mental magic finally yielded results.
This was a large-scale spell of extremely high specifications, with a total number of runes approaching 50,000. Even Yvette, a magic master whose mental strength had greatly increased and whose total magic power was approaching 600 points, was completely unable to perform it independently.
Fortunately, her years of picking up scraps were not in vain. In the past two years, she obtained a magic terminal with less damage, called "Furnace Ring X3", and the manufacturing company was "Emberstalk Chemicals".
So, after a period of learning, researching and repairing, things started to turn around.
"The rune capacity is 500,000 watts, but according to the system self-test, 80% of it is 'bad sectors', which means the actual capacity is only a little over 100,000 watts... It's so-so, but it's enough..."
"Wait, why is the energy decay of the elemental capacitor so severe? How can a capacitor with 20 points of magic power decay to only 1%? It shuts down right after turning it on? Phew, luckily I have plenty of magic power, so I can get a stable power supply 24 hours a day..."
Stroking the ring on her middle finger, after a while of research, Yvette input more than 50,000 runes into it and named it "Words of the Heart".
By the way, she also recorded a new magic called "vitality magic" that was developed some time ago and has not been optimized yet. Its main function is to improve the body's recovery ability to heal injuries or diseases. The rune specification is about 6000.
"This leaves only 44,000 spaces left... What a luxury! Where did the meticulous me who spent years iterating spells just to optimize seven or eight runes go back in the Abyss Base?"
With a silent sigh, Yvette walked downstairs and saw the little golden retriever squatting by the flower bed of the manor, carefully observing the two squirrels mating.
Seeing Yvette coming down the stairs, she raised her head and smiled sweetly. The sunlight was cut by the lush branches and leaves above her head, and fell on her face in patches. The picture was very beautiful.
Yvette nodded quietly in response.
She had been with this little girl for over half a month. Although they didn't speak the same language, they had already developed a good understanding through simple body language communication.
In addition, this little golden retriever is arguably the most obedient furry child under ten years old that she has ever seen. He has never shown any characteristics that have anything to do with mischief, rebellion or willfulness. Instead, he is well-educated, well-behaved and sensible. This has further increased Yvette's favorability towards her and made her more curious about her identity and background.
She guessed that this little golden retriever must have had a very good family education in the past, otherwise he would not have behaved so calmly and maturely after coming to such a terrifying and strange world.
She walked over and waved, and the little golden retriever immediately walked up to her obediently and waited patiently for her instructions.
Yvette raised her hand, and she immediately understood and raised her palm, allowing Yvette to place her hand in her palm.
“…”
Yvette suddenly felt something was strange. Why did this look like the "handshake" in dog training?
But she could swear she did nothing, so she could only attribute it to the fact that the child was too smart and could understand what she meant at once.
Without thinking any more, she immediately activated the language of the heart, using skin contact as a medium to create a subtle contact between her spirit and the other person's spirit.
Five seconds later, the rune set was loaded, and the curtain of the spiritual world was suddenly lifted -
"Ah, when will this life of fawning and flattering ever end..."
When this thought filled with irritability echoed in her mind, Yvette's eyes froze slightly.
She looked at the girl's cute and well-behaved face, and saw that her big watery eyes looked at her without hesitation. There was a hint of timidity in her frankness that made her feel adorable.
She fell silent and continued to listen.
"What the hell is this evil god doing? She keeps staring at me. It's so scary... Can't she just leave me alone?"
Evil God? Yvette was slightly startled. She had clearly saved the other person, so why did this little girl think of herself as an evil god?
Is there any logical connection between these?
"Damn it! In order to survive, I have to fawn over the evil god like a dog. How could I be so pathetic..."
"This is not my problem..." Yvette couldn't help but defend herself.
Then she saw that the girl's expression suddenly became terrified.
"Who...whose voice is that?! Is it her? Can she understand my thoughts?"
"This is a magic that enables telepathic communication and bypasses language barriers." Yvette was no longer silent.
But what she didn't tell the little golden retriever was that she had hidden a backdoor in the technique. When she needed to think, she could choose to mute the microphone to prevent herself from not hearing her inner thoughts, and she could know everything that the little golden retriever was thinking.
Finally, she added, "Also, I'm not an evil god."
"I'm...I'm sorry, Lord Evil God. I didn't mean it. I just...I just..."
The little golden retriever's expression changed very quickly, and he fell to his knees with a thud. His face was as pale as paper and his body was shaking like a sieve.
Yvette could sense the genuine fear within her surging emotions. She seemed to have truly determined that Yvette was the evil god, not an angel, a deity, or any other positive figure.
"Why do you insist that I am an evil god?" Yvette helped her up and regained physical contact to ensure that the ritual continued.
"Because... because this is the 'Land of the End,' where the legendary evil god, the 'Witch of the End,' is sealed."
When answering, the little golden retriever seemed extremely resistant, but he didn't dare not reply: "I... I found that you are the only one living here, and you are also a beautiful woman, so I feel that the legendary Witch of the End can only be you..."
Without waiting for Yvette's response, the little girl's mind quickly turned to self-destruction. With a dead heart, she replied, "Anyway, I won't betray the human race. Just give up on this idea... Just, just kill me!"
“…”
For a moment, the manor fell into silence.
Looking at the little golden retriever with its eyes closed, as if waiting to die, but unable to resist peeking at her reaction, Yvette was silent for a moment and changed the question: "How did you come into this world?"
She is now absolutely certain that this child is a time traveler from another world, but that world is suspected to be not very advanced, so there are great limitations in thinking, and there is not even a concept like "planet".
"Canyuan." The little girl gave an ambiguous name.
"What is that?"
"I read in a book that there's a celestial phenomenon called the 'Aurora' that appears only once every hundred years... When it appears, you can find the 'Residual Abyss' nearby. It's a spiral entrance connected to the End of the World, and it lasts only a few minutes... These entrances appear and disappear, and sometimes terrifying demons emerge... I came here after passing through the Residual Abyss..."
Aurora... Yvette chewed on the word and immediately thought of the brilliant picture she saw in the night sky three months ago.
She thought nothing of it at the time, simply admiring the natural beauty, and then she heard the little golden retriever's cry. Little did she know that the aurora that night would be the opportunity to open a connection between the two worlds.
She asked again, "What is a demon?"
"Those monsters you've destroyed outside... The book says they're called 'filthy demons'. They occasionally emerge from the Abyss and attack humans and animals. They carry a foul, evil filth on their bodies, and if you're scratched by them, you'll be assimilated..."
Although more than half a month had passed, it was obvious that the deformed appearance of the deformed body still left a deep impression on the little golden retriever. When this was mentioned, Yvette felt the fear surging in her consciousness.
It does fit the way aberrations infect other animals... Although I don't know how they infected mechanical creations in the past, blood transmission is now their main way of creating other aberrations...
Yvette nodded inwardly and continued to ask, "When did this phenomenon begin?"
She suspected that the world on the other side might be connected to the origin civilization.
"I don't know. The book doesn't mention it, but it seems to have existed thousands of years ago." The little golden retriever shook his head blankly.
