Chapter 221 Devil, I want to make a wish
"I want to awaken the demon in me."
As the young man finished his slightly crazy words, the room fell into silence.
In an instant, Xilina seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly changed: "You mean..."
"That's right."
Lynn nodded.
It’s not that the two of them are playing charades.
But the amount of information contained in it is so astonishing that even from Hillina's perspective, it feels unbelievable.
What Lynn said was certainly not a figment of the imagination, nor was it an adjective used in literary works to describe the evil thoughts in the human heart.
This demon refers to the creation demon Yuvilia who once resided in his body during the Wishing Jar incident.
That battle involved a fight between the King of Evil and the Demon of Creation, and with Lin En's interference, it resulted in a lose-lose situation for both sides.
This is the truth that Yvesette tried hard to conceal in the interrogation records sent to Grosstin.
To this day, these bigwigs in the imperial capital still don't know the truth about what happened in the Sauron Mountains that day.
All we know is that it was a young man named Lynn Bartleon who handled everything and ultimately survived the hands of the two demons.
Saint Laurent VI seemed to have guessed something.
Unfortunately, it is still a long way from the truth.
Only at this moment, when Lin En's words fell into Hillina's ears, did she understand everything.
If the guy in front of her was not joking, then everyone's imagination, including hers, was wrong.
Let’s not talk about the King of Evil and Cruelty for now.
As far as the Creation Demon is concerned, he was never killed, nor did he lose track of him in the Border War.
It can be called boarding or sleeping.
In short, the high-dimensional demon in front of us is most likely existing in the body of Lynn Bartleron.
Although I don’t know how he did it, if this is the truth, then a lot of things make sense.
But when he was still at the border, he was deprived of the divine factor in his body.
As an ordinary person, how could he seal a being of the same status as a god within his body?
Unless for a moment behind him, Hillina seemed to see through a lot of things and felt a little chilled.
When it comes to matters involving the gods, one can never be too cautious.
At this moment, she already had some regrets.
But she was overthinking this.
The power and consciousness that Yuvilia had inhabited in his body had long been wiped out by Miss Witch.
As the being with the longest source in the long river of time and also the most mysterious and powerful being, she said that if it is handled well, there will really be no mistakes.
Even in Lin En's opinion, the gap between the Creation Demon and the Witch Lady at that time was probably even greater than the gap between him and the Creation Demon.
In Yuvilia's eyes, he was just an ant.
But isn't he the same in the eyes of Miss Witch?
So strictly speaking, what Lin En said just now actually had a bit of alarmist suspicion.
This was a deliberate result of his doing so.
Noticing that Hillina was silent, as if she was reconsidering the deal, Lin En no longer hesitated and slowly said, "Actually, this matter is not as dangerous as you think. As for the reason, please listen to my explanation."
Then Lynn began to tell the story.
He picked out the key points of what happened in the Solon Mountains and told her in chronological order, while explaining to her the causes and consequences of everything.
Including the "High-Dimensional Demon Blood" obtained from the Greedy Box, the truth of the whole incident was roughly restored.
Of course, he skipped over the key part, which was related to Miss Witch, and just pushed some of the incongruities onto Her Royal Highness the Princess.
After all, after the Creation Demon's consciousness and power were wiped out, there was only one foreign object left in Lin's body.
That is the core feature of the Wishing Jar.
If we take humans as an example, the core characteristics are to the sealed object as the soul is to the body.
Previously in the Sauron Mountains, due to too long a contact time and the fact that the Demon of Creation intended to take over his body, this core characteristic and Lin En's soul had merged to a certain extent.
This fusion seems to be irreversible, even Miss Witch doesn't dare to act rashly.
It can only be sealed completely and remain in Lin En's body temporarily. It will not erupt for several years.
After leaving the Pantheon, that core characteristic really seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.
It cannot be perceived, let alone captured.
But it really exists.
It is clearly a time bomb that can explode at any time, but it has reached some kind of wonderful balance with his body, forming a situation where they do not interfere with each other.
This is Lynn's ultimate goal.
According to his guess, although the original body of the Creation Demon had been completely wiped out by the Witch Lady, after all these years of parasitism, it might have already become a part of the Wishing Jar, playing the role of the characteristic of being alive.
In other words, it's like AI executing a specific program.
Therefore, what Lin En needs to do now is to awaken this program and try to subdue this power.
Although it sounds as outrageous as a fairy tale, it is the last resort that Lin En can think of.
". Anyway, that's what happened."
As the words fell, the atmosphere between the two fell into silence again.
After a moment, Hillina's expression eased a little, but her brows were still slightly furrowed: "In other words, what is currently residing in your body is just a core characteristic, not the true form of the devil?"
"That's right."
Lynn nodded, noticing her hesitation.
Just as a literary master in the past life said.
The Saint Laurent people always like to compromise.
If Lin En had said at the beginning that he wanted to use the eldest princess's seal to activate the core characteristics in her body, she would definitely not agree.
But if you start by awakening the demon in your body and raise the tone a little, the opponent will feel that a mere core characteristic is not something that is difficult to accept.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Finally, with a slight sigh, Hilina seemed to have made a decision.
After all, the trump card she has is not just the level 0 seal on her wrist.
The fact that Ivester hated her for so many years but was ultimately helpless against her was enough to show how deep Princess Hillina's background was.
If what she was facing later was just a core characteristic, then things would still be under her control.
However, Hilina could not predict what would happen to his body after that.
Is it worth it? For a moment, she hesitated.
However, considering that the relationship between the two had not progressed to that point, it was ultimately not said out loud.
What a pity. She shook her head in her heart.
"In that case, let's finish it quickly."
Hillina said some suggestive words, but she didn't seem to notice anything. She slowly stood up from her chair and walked towards Lin En.
I wanted to untie the restraints on his hands and the black cloth on his eyes, but when I looked at my own home-style long skirt, which was as translucent as a white gauze, I gave up the idea.
Although it is not revealing, Hillina is well aware of how lethal her appearance and figure are to men.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she decided to resolve the issue quickly.
Seeing the boy sitting on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, Hilina hesitated for two seconds, then adjusted the fabric of her long skirt around her knees, slowly squatted down, and looked at him straight in the eye.
Staring at Lin En from a close distance, I realized that this little guy was extremely good-looking, with three-dimensional features, fair and delicate skin, and his whole body was full of youthful energy and vigor.
This face was even more recognizable than any other young man she had ever seen, the kind that was hard to forget after just one look.
Also, it's weird.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
From him, Hillina actually felt two completely opposite temperaments: inferiority and pride.
What a memorable little fellow.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, Hillina shook her head and then slightly opened her red lips.
"How can I help you?"
Hearing this, Lin En grinned and said, "You just need to shake the bell next to my ear to stimulate its power a little bit."
Although they are both Level 0 Sealed Objects, they will resonate or repel each other.
At this level, they basically possess the characteristics of being alive.
Lynn's request was to awaken the core characteristics of the wishing jar dormant in her body through the sealed bell of Hillina.
It sounds simple, but in a strict sense, he is treating his own body as an object, and the potential danger is self-evident.
There was no hesitation at all.
For some reason, a hint of admiration for him emerged in Hillina's heart.
She hadn't seen such a decisive and bold young man for a long time.
Slowly raising her slender white wrist, Hilina extended her right index finger and gently pressed against the rusty bell on her wrist, which looked a bit quaint and worn. "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready."
"Then I will begin."
When Lin En opened his eyes again, he found that he seemed to have disappeared in the bedroom of the eldest princess, Hillina.
Or maybe, his body didn't actually move, it was just that his consciousness arrived at this strange space in the spiritual world.
The moment the bell rang, Lin En felt a strong dizziness as if the world was turning upside down. Countless colorful spots of light and bubbles appeared in front of his eyes, as if he had experienced a short yet long interstellar journey.
It was a similar feeling to every trip to the Pantheon, but slightly different.
Lynn lowered his head and tried to move his hands and feet, but found nothing unusual.
After confirming this, he turned his gaze to his surroundings.
At this moment, he was standing on a dark lake with no end in sight. The lake was as smooth and seamless as marble, and the figure of the young man was faintly reflected in it.
The surroundings are filled with deep and mysterious grey fog, like a lost person walking through a swamp and forest, trapped in this mysterious and silent space, unable to escape forever.
I stepped lightly on the black mirror beneath my feet, and felt a hard and smooth touch, followed by ripples that spread out around me.
This action seemed to activate the dark lake surface beneath his feet, which should have been calm and peaceful.
The next second, layers of ripples came one after another.
"Clattery"
The quiet lake seemed to come alive, with the ripples rubbing and colliding with each other, and the waves gradually grew larger, like an exciting and harmonious sonata, rumbling in all directions! In the center of the violent waves, Lin En stood still with a calm expression.
A moment later, a graceful body made up of dark mud came walking on the waves.
The woman's facial features were beautiful and charming, but when she saw Lin En, hatred and resentment that was almost tangible emerged in her eyes.
It was as if the person in front of it was an existence that it must eliminate in this life.
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Lin En did not show any surprise, but instead said very calmly: "Yuvilia?"
He called out the name of the demon of creation.
"Tell me your wish."
It looked as if it still had some consciousness, but the words that came out of its mouth were like cold and mechanical procedures.
Due to coexisting with the Wishing Jar for too long, the form of its core characteristics has been affected and turned into the appearance of the Creation Demon.
But the power and consciousness of the Creation Demon had long been erased by Miss Witch.
Therefore, the graceful woman transformed from the dark quagmire is just a superficial program, mechanically executing the laws of the core characteristics themselves.
Or maybe, judging by the resentful look on its face, it probably still has some consciousness left, but is unable to defy the witch's seal.
The powerful aura that is unique to a Level 0 Sealed Object swept over with huge black waves.
Lin En was like a small boat in a storm, shaky and ready to capsize under the vast natural disaster at any time!
"Tell me your wish."
Unexpectedly, the swamp woman with Yuvilia's figure spoke again, attracting Lynn's attention.
Yes.
This is one of the rules revealed by the wishing jar in the original book.
After being awakened, it will always ask questions to the wisher three times.
If the other party refuses to answer, or the wish made is not accepted by the jar, it will be considered a waiver.
Once it reaches the fourth time, something unspeakable will happen.
After all, this thing came from the First Age and was nothing more than something made by those ancient gods with evil tastes to bring disaster to the world.
Even if the wish you made could come true, the result would definitely be the worst.
Something similar had happened before in the Sauron Mountains.
Fortunately, so far, everything is going according to Lynn's plan.
After all, the reason for meeting with Yuvilia was not to seek reconciliation with her, but simply to borrow the original power of the wishing jar to fight against the Moon Goddess.
"Tell me your wish."
As he asked the third time, the surrounding black waves seemed to be a beast descending, raging and roaring! Noticing the huge waves approaching and the black swamp woman with a resentful look, Lin En remained calm.
Even the remaining trace of fusion consciousness still tried to use the effects of the core characteristics to disadvantage him.
In that case, let's do as she wishes.
"Devil, my first wish is"
