Chapter 49: Peek Into the Inner Mirror
Xie Sang continued, "Yes, if I had a choice, I would rather you do this. Why take such a risk?"
"To gain extraordinary power, the risk of death is extremely high. Only by gaining this power can one earn a living under the Warlock."
His words were obviously very straightforward.
Tu Xing blinked. So he knew the risk of death was high?!
No wonder the original trajectory, even when seeing his whole body turned into lava, he still listened to the woman very much. I thought it was too serious and made him mentally retarded.
What about the tall guy behind... Come to think of it, he was dressed like a Sudanese soldier, and most likely he didn't volunteer, so he turned hostile on the spot.
Thinking back to the present, Tu Xing realized that he could leave now.
I came here just to get the introductory booklet. Everything else I want to know already exists, so I'll digest what I have now first.
At that moment, he stood up and half bowed his head. "Sir, since the medicine is considered to be successful, you still have an almost complete bowl of medicine. I won't be of any use to you for the time being, so I'll take my leave now."
He held up the booklet and said, "I'll return it to you in about a month. No, I'll try to return it to you in two days. It must be in perfect condition and not soiled by you."
Celilda stared at the man, then looked at the medicine bowl, as if considering it seriously.
Finally, he said, "Okay, ask me if you have any questions."
According to the original trajectory, the woman was also reluctant to let him go.
Before the second drug test, Tu Xing wanted to leave, but she asked her to stay and watch it through.
Recalling her words carefully, I guess she must gain something before she feels that giving her the introductory book is worth it.
This time I ordered the medicine on purpose and it worked. As expected, he was not tried to keep me and I was able to leave safely.
Tu Xing nodded, turned around calmly and walked out the door, closing it tightly behind him.
He glanced left and right and met Zhai Ka and Ye Qide who were standing nearby.
Just as I was about to speak, I saw someone else next to me out of the corner of my eye?!
Could it be Luo Bo?
Thinking of that "talent", Tu Xing's mouth twitched. If they met in front of this door, they would definitely have a verbal battle.
When I saw the person's appearance clearly, I was stunned. Xue Rui?
Just as Tu Xing was about to move to the side, thinking he was waiting outside the door for Celilda to call him, Xue Rui suddenly stepped forward and looked into his eyes.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Xue Rui moved her arm to the side.
Tu Xing nodded slightly in surprise, and turned his head to signal the two guards to stay where they were.
Walk forward about twenty steps and stand in a corner with pure walls on three sides.
"We're meeting for the first time today. What do you want to see me about?"
Xue Rui looked him up and down, "But the look you gave me clearly showed that this wasn't the first time I've seen you. Have you seen me before?"
Tu Xing lowered his eyes: "This is the first time we meet today."
The woman's eyes fell on the books in the young man's arms. "What is your relationship with Celilda? I'm always by my master's side day and night, so how come I've never seen you?"
Hearing this, Tu Xing's heart moved. It turned out that this was a replica of her own position, and her master was a black magician.
Seeing how agile she is, maybe we'll have more contact in the future.
Tu Xing replied, "I am often in His Majesty's bedroom, temporarily serving as a personal guard."
As he spoke, he tilted his body slightly and showed his badge.
"I unexpectedly gained a trace of demonic power. My two masters promised me that you can come and learn magic anytime. We may have to interact with each other frequently in the future."
These are things she will know sooner or later, so telling her completely and swiftly will give her a good start.
Xue Rui's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Oh, so that's how it is!"
Gradually, the woman's eyes darkened and her words became hesitant: "Then did you approach His Majesty voluntarily?"
Tu Xing: "Yes, why... aren't you?"
Xue Rui smiled bitterly. "Why would someone go to a place with such a high mortality rate if they had a choice? I don't understand."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and looked at the person with concern, "Can you share with me how to obtain this power?"
"I remember Celilda kept sighing, this is what she wanted most."
Hearing this, Tu Xing frowned and said, "You should ask her yourself. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
The woman sighed, lowering her voice. "I have a magical item. Take a look at it first and see if it's worth exchanging this information for."
Hearing this, Tu Xing became excited. He straightened up and looked interested. "Okay, where is it?"
Xue Rui looked around again and took out something from her pocket. It looked like a key and she spread it out in her palm.
"This is it. Can you see its purpose?"
Tu Xing looked at it. It had no special color, looked like ordinary metal, and was a flat diamond-shaped pendant.
He shook his head slightly, "I can't tell. I haven't even started yet."
Xue Rui showed an expression of "nothing more than that" and said in a somewhat ostentatious manner:
"This is the 'Mirror of the Inner Heart'. Someone gave it to Celilda, but she thought it was fake and threw it in the trash. I found it."
"Half a month ago, I suddenly began to feel a little bit of what other people were thinking."
Tu Xing raised his eyebrows and suddenly found the reason why he cared about the eye contact. It turned out that she looked at him deliberately.
"You can't possibly use this to exchange information with me, right?"
Xue Rui asked in return: "Why not?"
"This can't be used to make a living. Only the powerful force in my hands is what I really need."
Tu Xing lowered his eyes, "How do you prove that what you said is true? How long have you had this thing?"
Xue Rui: "When I look into someone's eyes, the longer, more focused, and clearer they are, the easier it is for me to sense their emotions, including good, bad, and neutral. It's like amplifying my sixth sense."
"I got this on my first day in Celilda's service."
"Since then, she has had countless servants, but I have remained. This is proof."
Tu Xing raised his eyes: "How many years?"
Xue Rui: "Three years." After answering, she continued, "We've been together for a long time, so I'm very familiar with the people here."
"Even from the facial expressions we see, I can probably tell what he's thinking. I think I don't need this thing anymore."
"Especially since half a month ago, I've been feeling some inexplicably dark emotions, which have been affecting my life."
"As long as I maintain the same state as I was half a month ago, I feel good."
"Of course, you could have thrown it away before you showed any symptoms. I just wanted to sell it for a good price, like exchanging it with you."
Hearing this, Tu Xing's eyes flashed and he quickly thought about the pros and cons. He couldn't just look at what she said, he had to look for the trap inside.
The downside is definitely hidden.
Xue Rui looked skeptical. "You have demonic powers, so what are you afraid of? Even if your head is cut off, you can still come back to life."
"Don't you have the power? Are you afraid of the hidden dangers of this thing?"
When his true thoughts were exposed in person, Tu Xing's heart moved and his eyes showed surprise.
This person definitely has the power to perceive inner thoughts, but it is not certain whether it is the effect of this thing. Perhaps it is innate and the ability to pretend to be this thing.
Tu Xing: "How about this, I'll give you four silver coins and you can lend it to me for a day to check the effect."
