The devil maid's answer was quite outrageous.
She was a demigod in both of her lives. She must have gone through the demigod exam twice and walked the path of origin twice. How could she not know?!
However, Ash did not question it. He pondered for a moment and asked, "I have something I have been wanting to ask you for a long time... Do you still remember the golden fish, the seven-colored tail, and the secret poison of the colorless dream?"
Vichy shook his head: "I don't know."
really.
After Vichy was resurrected, Ash did not notice an increase in the number of people infected with the secret poison, which he had vaguely expected.
"You actually know the secret poison, not bad." The maid blinked her eyes: "The secret poison is a very important resource, you must cherish it. For example, when I was reborn once, I almost lost all the secret poison, but the good thing is that I can be infected with the secret poison again."
Ash felt incredible: "Why did it get lost?"
"Because it was taken back by the Void Realm." Weishi said, "Don't you understand? This is not the knowledge that the Void Realm allows magicians to know, so to us, it is 'poison'."
Ash nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Then do you want to know?"
"Not now." The maid shook her head repeatedly: "Actually, if I want to know, I can infer it by remembering the details, but I don't need it now, why should I be infected with the secret poison?"
"Wait," Igula immediately noticed the loophole in her words: "Does that mean you can now infer the content of the Demigod exam?"
"Yes."
"Ash." The Trickster looked at the cult leader.
Ash nodded slightly, looked at Vichy and said seriously: "Now you deduce the content of the Demigod exam and tell us."
However, Vichy just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Seeing this scene, the two men were not angry, but their expressions became more solemn.
"Ms. Vichy," Igula asked, "You didn't execute the order because it conflicted with your highest priority underlying instruction?"
Vichy nodded.
"The three highest priority bottom-level instructions are: 1. Do not do anything to harm Ash and actively protect Ash; 2. Do not harm me, Harvey, Rose, Fili, Nia, etc. without violating the first one; 3. Do your best to protect yourself without violating the first and second ones." Igula asked, "Which instruction is in conflict with it?"
"All three are in conflict," said the maid.
"That is to say, just knowing the content of the Demigod Exam will be harmful to us." Ash pondered, "Just now she said, 'As long as the legendary magician is willing, he can take the Demigod Exam at any time'... The Demigod Exam is very likely to be a special mechanism that will be triggered immediately once it is known!"
The magicians looked at each other in bewilderment. Harvey suddenly said, "I noticed that you kept talking about the 'fifth level of the virtual world', but didn't the demigods give it a name? Names like the Sea of Knowledge, the Continent of Time, or something like that."
“Yes, it has been named.”
"But you can't name it?"
"Yes." Weishi said, "You'd better not make any associations, because the name of the fifth level of the virtual realm is related to the truth of the demigod exam. Even if you die, I will... But for the sake of my favorite handsome master, I must remind you that if you continue to delve deeper, you may realize the content of the exam yourself, which will lead to the start of the exam."
Honestly speaking, Ash and the others had already guessed where the fifth level of the Void Realm was. After all, the Sea of Knowledge, the Continent of Time, the Faraway Space, and the Ruby Mountain were all widely known. There were also mysterious places like these that had myths and legends in every country, so there was only one option.
They had wondered why they didn't say it directly, and whether they had guessed wrong, but they never expected that the reason behind the truth was so heartwarming - the demigod exam that even Vichy feared was probably not something that an ordinary legendary magician could pass. The various countries deliberately concealed the truth, most likely to prevent the legendary magician from confirming the truth and immediately conducting a surprise exam, and then suddenly dying and being carried away.
"Let's stop here for today's class..."
"Thank you, Master!"
Ash was caught off guard and hugged by the maid. He got goose bumps all over his body and pushed her away with disgust.
Igula asked, "What does it feel like?"
"Do you remember what I had for lunch today?"
"Chiyan Lala Fei?"
"Yes, that's the feeling of becoming food." Ash looked at Vichy: "No matter how you pretend to be a jerk and get close to me, I will only be awakened by your thorns. Don't struggle, Ghost Prophet."
"Alas." The maid sighed: "My master has disliked me since he started dating the little sheep. I didn't expect that my master liked blonde college girls. I should have dyed my hair blonde..."
"At least you told half the truth." Ash said, "She did succeed in making me resistant to you, but I was just dating her for a practice run. We are just good friends."
The necromancer frowned, "You? With a woman? Just good friends?"
"Wait," the Trickster raised his hand to stop the Necromancer's questioning, "Let me see what other bullshit he can say."
"What are you looking at?" Ash said helplessly, "I'm not Igula, and I'm not popular with women!"
Igula: “Look.”
Harvey nodded, "Starting to talk nonsense."
"First, Fili and I have only met for less than two days, and second, Fili has someone she likes!" Ash said, "Do you understand now?!"
"I see," Igula said, "I have to say that you are lazy, Ash. You can even defeat the legendary level like Silver Lantern, but now you are challenging the ordinary level like a female college student? The attribute of "having someone you like" is at most an ordinary three-star level, right?"
"No," Ash felt puzzled, "Why do you think I would fall in love with Fili?"
Iguala: "Xavi, you explain it."
"Ash," Harvey said, "You may not know this, but I actually like corpses."
Ash looked at him quietly for a long while, then nodded slowly: "Well, I can't tell."
"That's normal. After all, I usually hide it very well," the necromancer continued, "but sometimes, I still can't help but reveal my preference for corpses. For example, I like to smell the smell of corpses, sleep in places where maggots crawl, and spread bread with special corpse oil jam..."
Igula stood up suddenly, veins on his face almost popping out: "I...saw you eating jam on bread a few days ago..."
"Condensed milk," Harvey said. "Did I season it well?"
After everyone was silent for a second, Ash immediately rushed forward and hugged Igula tightly.
"Hey Igula, calm down. He didn't do it on purpose. You're just craving for condensed milk... Vichy! Rose! Help me hold him down!"
After the furious fraudster was pinned down on the sofa by the three men, Harvey continued, "I just want to point out that even though you won't admit it verbally, your inner thoughts will be revealed through your actions."
Ash glanced at the hopeless Igula, suppressed a laugh and said, "Well, but what does this have to do with me?"
"Yash," Harvey said seriously, "In the Gospel Kingdom, the most important woman to us is An Nan."
"yes."
"In the Senluo Kingdom, there are two most important women for us, Mercury Trojan and Silver Lamp, but later we found out that Silver Lamp is the most important."
"Um?"
"So according to my observation," the necromancer said, "you are different from the ** type like Igula. You are a special attack type who only gets together with key opposite sex. And in the Kingdom of Stars, the most important opposite sex for us is obviously Fili."
"If there are key women in Broken Lake Prison, I'm sure you won't miss the Raiders."
The maid leaned close to Ash's ear and said, "Master, I am important too!"
Ash was stunned for a while, and uttered a weak rebuttal: "These are all coincidences!"
"Understood." Harvey nodded: "We won't tell Sword Lady about these coincidences after we get out, Ash, just go ahead and do it!"
"Ash," the suppressed Igula suddenly said, "Demon Fili is very important to us."
"I know."
"You refuse to hypnotize her, and you refuse to rape her. This makes it very difficult for us." The fraudster said, "Wouldn't it be good to let her become obsessed with you and use you as a tool?"
Rose and Vichy also nodded. Ash sighed softly, sat aside, looked at his bony hands, and said slowly, "I don't want to and I don't want to."
Igura: "Why? You used to-"
"Before, it was because I hadn't confirmed my relationship with Sword Lady and Witch Lady, and I hadn't determined my feelings." Ash said, "But now I'm almost able to meet Sword Lady... maybe she has already seen me."
"We have been fine for so many days. It is obvious that she is taking care of our bodies. I don't know how much trouble this has caused her... Will it affect her future..."
"She must be anxious to rescue us now." Ash looked at them, "I just want to leave here as soon as possible to meet her."
"Other than that, I have no other thoughts."
Vichy sighed secretly, thinking that she was too unlucky to meet a love-brained master. However, when she turned her head, she found that Igula and Harvey did not look disappointed, but had a subtle expression of "you always say this".
"I want to say one thing," Harvey suddenly raised his hand, "but Ash, you are not allowed to be angry."
"What's up?"
"It's like this, I'll prepare coffin gifts for you once I'm ready to settle down." Harvey said, "So I remember who to send them to, such as you, Annan, Qinna, Tamashi, Igula, Anfer..."
Igula raised his eyebrows: "Are you familiar with Qinna?"
Harvey: "No, but Ash is very familiar with Qinna."
Ash had a bad feeling in his heart: "Then what?"
"I had Alice carve the names into the coffin lid in case I forgot," Harvey said, "and drew a diagram of the relationships."
"Relationship diagram?"
"For example, Ash and An Nan are lovers, An Nan and Qin Na are mother and daughter, and Ash and Qin Na are also lovers..."
boom!
"Ash calm down, Harvey didn't do this on purpose, come and hold him down!"
Ash, with a face full of grief and anger, was pressed down on a chair by Igula and the other two, and felt that his reputation was about to be ruined. Igula comforted him, "It's not possible that Sword Princess would see inside the coffin lid. Even if she did, she might not believe it. Even if she believed it, she might not do anything to you..."
Ash nodded heavily: "Yes, you are right, I have a clear conscience and I have nothing to fear!"
Vichy: "Master, you are shaking so hard that you are about to throw me out."
After Rose wiped the cold sweat off Ash's forehead, the legendary magician finally suppressed the panic in his heart and said while drinking tea: "Let's adjourn the meeting. It seems that there is nothing going on today."
"By the way, remember not to tease Fili and me, especially in front of her," Ash glanced at everyone, "It's not good for me or her."
"knew."
At this moment, a throbbing sensation swept through the magicians' souls, almost causing them to lose control instantly, even Vichy could not avoid it. Ash fell on Rose, and he did not bother to apologize, and immediately rushed out of the villa.
Flying feathers.
Silver feathers were falling from the sky. Ash reached out to catch them, and the feathers turned into light and disappeared in his hand. He looked around, and all he could see were silver feathers. The whole Jiashi was like a fairy tale city.
"If these are the silver wings of an angel..." Vichy walked out and stood next to Ash: "Then its silver wings are too huge."
The trickster stood at the door in a daze, almost stunned by the beautiful scene, and muttered, "No wonder... a country is needed to imprison angels..."
"Ash."
"Um?"
The Ghost Prophet said: "Angel hunting has begun."
