Chapter 140 Western Fantasy 05 Strange Deal
Gods coexist with heaven and earth.
Even though he was the product of Lance's corruption by darkness and had no memory of the time when the continent was first formed, he had lived long enough.
These low-level life forms are like mayflies that live and die in a day, fragile and short-lived. It is already difficult for them to leave a trace in his mind.
It's true, I haven't been this curious for a long time...
How come no one is taking care of this little guy? He came to the headquarters of the light forces. If he hadn't met him, he would have been tied to the cross.
No one cares about the difference between him and those demons who have committed heinous crimes.
Seno pondered the pale, huddled beauty before him—a harmless fawn, a frail, almost human-like young Silvermoon succubus with only a few characteristics borne of her bloodline.
Even his hair was not the silver-white silky color as moonlight that was typical for this race. Instead, it came from his biological mother, perhaps a human from the East with black hair and black eyes.
He touched him in a probing manner, his fingertips sliding from the forehead to the smooth cheek, and finally landing on the small, rounded ear, which was completely different from the dark creature's appearance.
However, Lu Huai seemed to be very afraid of him. While pretending to be calm and not avoiding his gaze, his chest was heaving and trembling slightly, like a leaf that was about to fall from the tree but stubbornly refused to leave the trunk.
Lu Huai hated this inexplicable person in front of him. He fought against the unbearable feeling of oppression for a long time before he could finally fall asleep.
As soon as I entered the dream, I met this strange guy again. Sometimes he called him "little guy", sometimes he called him "little succubus" and "boy". I don't know how many lifetimes I have been unlucky to have met such a weirdo.
But even though he didn't have the talent for rest magic and couldn't sense the fluctuations in energy, he knew that Seno was not someone to be trifled with.
Lu Huai is not stupid.
He knew it well:
No matter who was being dragged into this place that was so realistic that he almost thought he was there, his companions who were stronger than him were completely unaware.
He still treated him with the same leisurely attitude as if he were a kitten, with a condescending look.
These are not things that ordinary people can achieve.
Lu Huai wanted to break free, tell Jon about his situation, and leave here, but he habitually assessed the situation and wisely swallowed his anger.
But I don’t know why this kind of hidden struggle makes people want to tease it, and also gives rise to a desire to destroy and ravage it.
She acted recklessly, causing the blush on his face to spread and his beautiful, clear black eyes to be filled with tears.
It is easy to suppress but difficult to recover.
Seno found that a thought that had not been brought to his mind for a long time had come to mind, but he was not so uncontrollable as to lose control of this thought.
She just continued to pick at Lu Huai's black hair calmly, letting it become inseparable from her fingers, and said sadly:
"well…"
"You really want to leave me?"
"Isn't my palace more comfortable than your humble tent?"
"I...I didn't." Lu Huai stammered in reply, trying to evade the question, but this only led to even more extreme actions from Seno.
——After all, Lu Huai’s soul is really pure, which is an indescribable delicacy for Seno. He likes to make deals to exchange souls and taste them himself in the end.
But at this moment, for some inexplicable reason, rather than eating the other person, he still wanted to endure it.
"May I have your name?"
Lu Huai didn't want to tell the other party that he knew some spells could even kill people just by their names.
After a pause, he made up a random word: "Al."
But Seno was relentless, "Don't lie to me, or I'll go find that elf friend of yours."
"don't want…!"
"I'm telling you, my name is Lu Huai."
After saying this, Lu Huai felt as if his body was hollowed out.
But Seno couldn't help but cling to Lu Huai like a boneless person, with his chin resting on his thin shoulder, which was heavy and dishonest, making Lu Huai feel uncomfortable with his curly hair.
"That's good."
"Are you scared?"
He took a deep breath of the wonderful air, feeling Lu Huai's body stiff as stone under his questioning and his misbehavior, and couldn't help laughing out loud with evil humor.
"Idiot, if I wanted to hurt you, wouldn't I have done it long ago?"
However, it is a miracle that a dark creature with such weak magical energy and impure bloodline, probably the product of some indecent affair, can survive to this day.
The purity of this soul is unique among those believers of light, which means that this little guy's hands should not be stained with blood.
He had such a face, but he didn't look like anyone was protecting him - at least Seno looked through Lu Huai's body, silently looking at the weak elf who not only knew nothing but also looked on foolishly, and didn't think that this companion could give him any help.
I just feel that everything seems to be quite interesting.
Seno is always generous in giving something to the creatures that he finds interesting, even though the other party may not want such gifts.
Then he would help him.
"Hey, kid."
"Why did you suddenly become so desperate that you came to Central Continent? Don't you know that this place is full of Lance's eyes and ears?"
"Lance?" The name seemed familiar, but it was not someone who could not be erased from his life.
Lu Huai repeated it subconsciously until he saw the handsome man in front of him with a leisurely look, and then he seemed to realize something.
———This is the name of “that person”.
His adoptive parents once told him that the land across the mountain was a land shrouded in light and blessings.
——The scenery there is completely different from my hometown, which is now shrouded in fog and can only be seen as blood in front of my eyes every time I think of it, and Tarlow, where I stayed for a while after moving there and was often covered by wind and sand.
There was no fighting and chaos everywhere.
The security is stable, rich, sacred and beautiful.
Lu Huai will never forget that a long time ago, his adoptive father woke up to a new day with the sound of prayer bells from the church.
A white bird flew past the towering wizard's tower, and at this moment, a long and beautiful sound of learning and reciting could be heard from the tower.
The bard played the accordion with ease and told stories, sometimes related to himself, sometimes about the origins of those legendary figures. As for whether the singing and writing were true or false, the people could not tell the truth, but still regarded the enthusiastic applause as a thank you.
Everything, every frame of the scene, seemed like something in his distant dream.
Perhaps addressing that person in such a disparaging manner proved that the man before him was as capable as the other, or even...
As if realizing that I said I was so late, the color on Lu Huai's cheeks, which was already thin, faded further.
Before he dared to truly express this conjecture to himself, he saw the person in front of him, as if he knew what he was thinking. He stared at him with a smile and said something earth-shattering:
"Maybe you are right. Lance and I are old friends. In fact, we used to be each other's halves."
"I have another title that you might be more familiar with. It's a bit corny, so I won't mention it."
"I command darkness and am the master of all desires."
He said this as if he was eating or drinking water, without even blinking.
However, the pair of brown-red wings behind it, so huge that they almost blocked out the sky, seemed to be aware of the sacredness of its master's words.
Starting from the first complex blood-colored magic pattern, magma surged in it, and golden light flowed, which actually had a strong visual impact and was shocking.
Even though Seno, who sensed the danger, blocked his senses in time, Lu Huai still felt the extremely surging heat wave at that moment and suddenly became speechless.
The truth was revealed so quickly, and not only did he not have the ability to discern it, he was not even prepared. He only knew that he would not survive if he got involved.
"Little succubus, the energy in you must be uncontrollable now."
The deepest secret was revealed so unexpectedly. Lu Huai was stunned and subconsciously looked behind him.
The former troublemaker now calmly accepted his touch instead of clinging to him like a skin-hungry person.
Only then did he realize that since he was trapped here, the heart-shaped tail behind him seemed to have stopped stirring and became as docile as a sheep.
He didn't want to speak, but was pulled by a force and replied obediently: "Well, yes...it has been like this for several years."
Sino beckoned, his gorgeous and voluptuous voice lowered to a very low tone:
"Very comfortable, now."
"I can make this experience last longer. I can even help you conceal your identity. As long as Lance doesn't break the seal on you personally, this disguise can deceive most people on this continent."
Lu Huai's heart almost jumped into his throat, because he had found an opportunity to improve the root cause of the evil that had troubled him for eighteen years and even became more and more serious.
"Boom... boom..." He heard the sound of his own violent and vigorous heartbeat, as loud as the sound of horse hooves hitting the open ground.
"but"
Sino was used to emphasizing people's feelings, but these two words were like a drumstick hitting Lu Huai's heart.
He had already anticipated that there would be other costs later, but when he really understood what he was going to lose, Lu Huai's face suddenly turned ugly.
He also didn't know what else the other party could plot against him besides his life.
But this is exactly the biggest crisis he is facing. Not to mention conspiracy, even if it is a sea of fire and swords, he will seize such an opportunity.
After all, only when you are alive can the story continue.
He doesn't want to die yet.
He could only bet that what the other party said was true, and the price would not cause him to die immediately.
Lu Huai wanted revenge and wanted to live his own life, but he knew that this was too difficult.
Seeing his acquiescence, Seno raised an eyebrow and continued:
"This will also consume some of my energy, but there is no free lunch in the world. Well, I think you understand this principle."
"Well, I've always been a generous and honest person. This time, I'm putting the stakes on you, but I won't let you do anything that will get you killed right away."
"The elf next to you has a disgusting aura about him. I think Lance would like to see him."
Disgust? Isn't that because the aura of light is very strong?
Even the opponent, the Dark Crown, commented in this way, perhaps his friend really has a special talent for light elements.
Lu Huai counted quietly on his fingers. There were five countries in Central China. Except for one country that maintained a neutral stance, the other four maintained close ties with the Temple of Light. Even the coronation of regime change had to be recognized by the temple, and every king was blessed by being irrigated by the holy pool.
Although the Mage Tower, where many heroes gather, does not bow its proud head to the temple, it is said that dark magic is also banned there and no one, no matter how talented, can speak of it.
This means that having outstanding affinity for the element of light is equivalent to a bright and shining pass, and you will be a shining star wherever you go.
His good friend Jon will probably have a good destination.
"That's great," Lu Huai thought. He was really happy for him.
But he couldn't help feeling guilty and bitter in his heart, comparing himself with the people around him, thinking that he was not like himself at all, and was destined to be unacceptable in the world since birth.
He envied Jon.
Seeing Lu Huai's eyes flickering, obviously thoughtful, Seno had long been uncomfortable with the way his eyes lit up when he heard the name of Lance, so he poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Wouldn't it be better if I followed you? Lance likes to see him, but that doesn't mean he can tolerate your presence."
For the first time, his tone had something indescribable besides teasing, and his magnetic voice became low:
"He's not like me. Even if the person I dragged into this place today wasn't you, but your annoying elf friend, I wouldn't bother to deal with him."
As he spoke, he suddenly started cursing, gritting his teeth and saying, "This guy treats anyone who has anything to do with me like a scourge. Listen to me, this is also for your own good. If that elf really attracts the attention of those people in the Church, it's best for you to stay away from him."
"Well, my luck might not be that bad, but..."
"Huh?"
Lu Huai watched in astonishment as the figure in front of him and the prosperous and strange palace around him became blurred, and then everything around him suddenly disappeared like a destroyed puzzle.
Jon, who was anxiously wondering why Lu Huai hadn't woken up after three hours, finally let go of the heavy stone pressing on his chest when he saw Lu Huai's eyelids finally tremble slightly.
"Jon!" Lu Huai opened his eyes and saw his partner who had been guarding beside him, and called out in surprise.
He didn't know what had happened that caused Seno, who was originally talking to him, to suddenly disappear.
Although the other party's attitude was even friendly, unlike the werewolf who almost wanted to eat him, it was a very good thing to be away from such a dangerous existence and not have to listen with a heavy heart.
But after being surprised, Lu Huai's eyes, which were always gentle when he looked at Qiao En, now had some complicated meanings.
The other person didn't understand this strangeness, only he himself knew it - Lu Huai's hand under his cloak gently stroked the extremely shameful mark on his lower abdomen, and found that the uneven feeling really disappeared, only a slight heat was felt at the moment of touching it.
Prove that this is not a dream.
And he will never forget the last words that Senor left him: "Get back what was taken away from me. I will try my best to make you get such an opportunity. In addition, I have also given you the ability to learn magic through secret techniques. I will help you do anything you want."
"Complete the task and you will be rewarded. I will even allow you to be my agent on the mainland. If you fail or betray me, there is only one path waiting for you. Do you understand, little Lu Huai?"
Lu Huai didn’t know whether his choice was right or wrong, but now it seemed that he had found his own foundation.
Although taking this path might make him drift further and further away from the person in front of him, he had no other choice.
"I'm sorry, Jon..."
Lu Huai was muttering to himself when he heard Qiao En's excited invitation to go see the scenery at the foot of the mountain together.
