In the end, Bai Xi did not raise her own needs, but simply accompanied Perkin for the time being, as before.
Of course, it wasn't that she wanted to; as soon as she got up, Perkin followed her on her own.
Helpless, Bai Xi, in order to ease the awkward atmosphere, told him about the reason for her different appearance, her new name, and what had happened before.
"I thought my master was really dead."
Perkin's voice was tinged with sadness.
"Becoming a ghost, how can that not be considered death...?"
Bai Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to revive my master."
Perkin didn't seem to care much about that. In the darkness, his voice seemed magnetic, drawing Bai Xi's ears in. Every word he spoke made Bai Xi feel a tickle in her heart.
If Bai Xi didn't know that Perkin had a very stiff personality, she would have suspected that he was deliberately flirting with her.
However, recalling his previous state, it seems that... apart from talking more than before, his personality hasn't changed much. Since it's been too long and Bai Xi's memory is somewhat inaccurate, she didn't dwell on it any longer.
"Just kidding, Maggie's body is completely dead, and her spirit can't become a normal soul."
Bai Xi smiled; she was quite aware of her situation.
Actually, if it weren't for the Elemental Source Realm still waiting for her help, she could have stayed in the Western Continent forever without any problem. There was no need to force a life that no longer belonged to her.
Who says the dead can't become gods?
"Definitely."
Perkin mentally reviewed the information, his tone serious.
"Okay, okay, I believe you."
Bai Xi gave a perfunctory answer.
The main reason is that I don't want to get caught up in things that have no future.
Perkin seemed to sense her distraction. He stared at Bai Xi's back for a long time, pursed his lips slightly, but said nothing more.
In the corridor where the two had left, a black feather reappeared at some point.
The faint sounds of conversation seemed to echo in the background.
Are you sure it's reliable?
"certainly."
"It has to be her? How pitiful."
"You're a demon, yet you're so kind."
"Don't act rashly; history cannot withstand being torn apart."
"You talk as if you're not a demon. You're lusting after my daughter, and I haven't even had a chance to beat you up yet."
"We fell in love on our own, what do you know!"
After a while, the sound subsided, and no one heard it.
...
"Bai Xi, I went to see the altar over there. It seems that something has changed since you left."
Roy said with a worried expression.
Because the altar imprisoned Bai Xi, Roy cared a lot about it, so even after leaving the square, he would occasionally go back to take a look.
"Um."
With Perkin by her side, Bai Xi couldn't respond much, only giving a vague reply before falling silent.
However, she kept this matter in her heart.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Bai Xi's voice, Perkin immediately asked.
"No, have you already investigated this area?"
Bai Xi was also a little curious about this site. Thinking of the scenes and memories she had seen in the altar, she felt that this place was very likely related to Eros.
It's still uncertain about her relationship with Eros, and Bai Xi wants to investigate further.
So much time has passed that it's likely nothing will remain, but Bai Xi still doesn't want to give up.
I never expected to be so unlucky; I ran into a living creature shortly after I stepped out the door.
She followed the scent of living people and almost killed the group of mercenaries.
It's all thanks to Ulysses' training; otherwise, she would definitely have killed someone by now. She has absolutely no self-control, and it seems we should thank him for it.
I felt a little guilty when I criticized and rejected him.
"No, no, but I found a very special mechanism, like it's sealing something."
Perkin was the type who had absolutely no interest in historical murals, and when Bai Xi suddenly asked him this, he regretted not having taken a look.
However, it's not like we have absolutely no intelligence; it's barely usable.
"What organization?"
Bai Xi asked.
"An alchemical mechanism inlaid with many magic gems, but most of the magic gems have lost their power and cannot be activated."
"I came here specifically for you, and I didn't stay because of that."
Perkin paused for a moment, his voice unusually clear in the darkness. As it brushed past Bai Xi's ear, she felt her non-existent heart race.
"..."
Bai Xi instinctively covered her ears, feeling that the action was somewhat familiar, but then put them down again.
She's a single soul; even if she covered her ears, she could still hear it. What on earth is she being so dramatic about?
That's just how their voice is; you can't expect them to change it.
"Can you take me to see it?"
Bai Xi refocused her attention on what Perkin had said, a thoughtful expression on her face.
So far, she hasn't encountered any danger in this ruin, so the mechanisms inside must be the key.
I wonder what kind of treasure I might find.
Bai Xi was lost in daydreams.
"good."
It was just a simple request, and Perkin had no reason to refuse, his voice carrying a hint of pleasure as he agreed.
To his master, he was once again a useful being.
On their way to find the mechanism, in another corner of the ruins, a swarm of bats flew by and arrived at the corner symmetrical to where Baixi was.
The same mechanism was placed in the very center of the room, lying dormant for a long time.
Before long, the swarm of bats transformed into a man.
He stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the mechanism, and after a while, he stepped forward, seemingly very interested in it.
"It seems like I've seen it somewhere before?"
Ulysses touched the mechanism, and the ancient magic gems on it instantly turned to dust; they had long since lost their power due to the passage of time.
With just a little external force, they can all disappear.
He didn't care, but stared at the mechanism in deep thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
But for some reason, there was always a voice in his mind saying something to him.
"With this, I'll have a chance to come back. You can't touch it."
Ulysses frowned slightly. It was strange that he, as the progenitor of vampires, could forget things.
However, he didn't continue trying to understand those vague memories. Instead, he spent the rest of the time counting the magic gems on the mechanism and speculating on their quality.
Then... he pulled out a bunch of magic gems from somewhere.
They are all priceless, extremely precious level nine and ten magic gems.
He was, after all, a vampire who had lived for countless years, so he had some resources. Using these to test the function of the mechanism was nothing to him.
