readx(); In the underground waterway, Claire finally had some good turns after half a day's rest. Although her head was no longer painful, she still had some dizzy feeling. The sequelae of the use of gemstones in the country was very strange. No matter taking any potion, it had no effect. She had to close her mind and wait for it to subside slowly.
"How long have I slept?"
"Nearly 16 hours"
Hearing that she had been sleeping for so long, Claire was a little unbelievable and whispered, "how could this happen!"
Although the gem was overused, Claire believed that the use time was not as long as before. How could she take so long to recover.
"It seems that the power of gemstones will make your soul and * exhausted when used."
“┉┉┉┉”
Claire was silent. Although she signed a contract with the devil, Claire also knew what the other party knew about herself. The less, the better.
Misty smiled like a flowing mucus: "don't hide my contractor. As a higher dimensional existence, I can feel the power contained in this gem. Your * and soul as a mortal don't have enough accommodation and can't use this gem for a long time. Otherwise, your * and soul will be torn apart under the impact of power."
"Then why did I " seeing that the other party already knew the secret, Claire stopped talking.
"The power in the gem is activated with your mind, which can enable you and other mortals to use super level spells and various special abilities. The more powerful spells and abilities, the more power in the gem needs to be activated. At first, you thought that it was the length of time you used the gem to determine the size of the sequelae. It was a wrong judgment. If you just needed to perform spells Learning and accelerating meditation, the power of gemstones can help you do it without too much, but the previous real name contract is a strong technique left over from the second generation, and is even closely related to the rules of the world. But you tried to analyze the contract with the power of precious stones at that time. Naturally, you activated much more power than you usually did in that short time, which caused extremely serious sequelae. "
"Serious!?" Claire suddenly felt that her body seemed very weak. Even though her head didn't hurt much, she felt a sense of detachment all over her body: "when I was sleeping, what happened to my body?"
Misty pointed to the basin beside her. It was full of hot water and almost all of it was dyed red. Even the towel hanging on one side is red.
"A large number of capillaries are broken and muscle tissue is distorted. Fortunately, it did not hurt internal organs and bones. There is a highly pure therapeutic agent in your space ring. I asked you to take a bottle when you were sleeping, otherwise your body would not be able to recover in such a fast time."
Misty gently picked up a ring. Claire looked at it and found that it was the ring she had stolen from the beautiful noble girl in the silver wing chamber of Commerce. Before, she only knew that it was full of all kinds of gold and silver treasures. But I didn't expect there was medicine in the ring.
"Don't touch my things!" Claire snatched the ring from misty's hand.
If the devil took something else, Claire might not mind so much. Just when she thought of the girl with unparalleled temperament and appearance, and when she thought that the girl might be sad and lost because of the loss of the ring, Claire always felt guilty.
Misty didn't mind Claire's move: "your luck is very good. This bottle of therapeutic medicine is a high-purity medicine I've never seen before. It cured your damage in a very short time, but the weakness and fatigue on your soul can't be treated by the medicine. You can only recover slowly by time."
"I know," the experienced Claire nodded. She knew the characteristics of the sequelae best.
"The pharmacists who can prepare this high-purity medicine can be traced back almost ten thousand years ago. It is hard to imagine that there are still great pharmacists among mortals."
Claire was stunned: "ten thousand years? How is this possible!"
"I'm really curious where you got this bottle of medicine."
For a moment, Claire buried her head and whispered, "I stole it."
"Where did you steal it?"
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Claire put the ring into her pocket, got up weakly, poured some water and drank it. When she got better, she looked at the devil and said in a complicated mood, "thank you for taking care of me when I was unconscious."
"You don't need to thank me. I'm just fulfilling my contractual obligations."
"A guy who is not likable at all." Claire shook her head helplessly and then asked, "what happened when I was in a coma?"
Misty shook her head: "I'm sorry. My power is first in this narrow space. At most, it can only be limited to an area near this waterway. For the time being, it can't detect further outside. Unless you can further expand the space."
Continue to expand space? It's obviously impossible for Claire. Now his head is still a little dizzy, and he has experienced such serious sequelae. If he continues to use gemstones, he may die next. Now he must take a break and try to recover some of his body. In this weak situation, if something happens, he will be in trouble. Ignoring the demons around her, Claire took out some black bread she had just bought, smeared some, and ate the remaining butter and preserved meat.
After sleeping for so long, Claire was really a little hungry. Two pieces of bread and a bag of preserved meat were solved by dividing five into two.
Looking at the devil sitting on one side, Claire took the butcher's shop and asked, "do you want to eat?"
"No, I don't need to eat human food. For me, human negative feelings and fallen soul are the necessary things to maintain my existence."
Claire stared at the devil, took back his hand and ate himself: "MMM ~ it seems that being a devil is not a good thing."
"What does the so-called good thing mean?"
"Have you tasted delicious food?"
"I don't need to eat human food, but I can eat it. It just doesn't mean anything to me after eating."
"Will you feel hungry?"
"We don't have that feeling. Our appetite is mortal *. Our * is more reflected in our deeper desire and hope, and most of them are negative and evil desire and hope for mortals."
Claire took a sip of water and swallowed the food. "For example?"
"For example, I want to devour more fallen souls and become stronger. I want all mortals in this city to believe in me. I want all people to degenerate and go to extremes."
After listening to Misty's story, Claire asked suspiciously, "no wonder the world calls you demons. But what's the point of doing this? Or is it just because you need to do so, just like you said you need a fallen soul to maintain your own existence."
"Partly because of the need to maintain my existence, and partly because of my desire."
"Really just for desire - hope!?"
Misty said without hesitation: "to satisfy our own desire and hope is the proof of our own existence for our demons. For us, nothing is more important than satisfaction and hope."
Half way through, misty suddenly paused.
"What's the matter?" Claire asked suspiciously.
Misty's body flowed like mucus and slid towards the door of the room: "someone has entered the waterway. There are a lot of people, and some of them have magic power. They are mages!"
I was found here!?
Claire was surprised and hurried to activate the protective array arranged outside, but he got nothing. It was obvious that the array had been removed. After determining the failure of the French array, Claire had no time to think about how the other party found himself here. Now Claire's first idea is to run away.
Even if she got this magic gem, Claire still knew that she was only a low-level mage who barely reached level 7. It was OK to sneak into others in a dark place. She had no chance of winning in front of several mages and a group of well-trained guards! Not to mention that there are terrible monsters in this city. Even the powerful soldiers like Longjia still lost to the arena champion named gerkate with the help of the power of gemstones.
"Get out of here quickly. Can you feel the position of these people?"
"Absolutely."
Claire quickly packed up and put some magic books that had not been read and studied into the space ring, including the skull of the orc Longjia, which was placed aside. Claire quickly applied a 'invisibility' and 'night vision' to herself and ran to the door to watch quietly, There was still no one in the dark waterway, and there was no sound of footsteps. It seemed that no one came in at all.
"Please keep the gem from breaking a small part of the space blockade, otherwise I will have to return to the abyss under the pressure of the law of the interface."
"I see. I'll try my best."
Originally, Claire didn't want to continue to use the power of gemstones at this time, but considering that the devil's sensing power is much stronger than himself, Claire couldn't care so much, and tried to let the minimum activated power of gemstones break the so-called space blockade as the devil said. The demon body that followed Claire immediately twisted and contracted, hovered on Claire's arm, and turned into a Black Bracelet like violating the principle of matter.
Please don't worry. This is a 'superstate change'. I have walked with you in this posture for the time being. >
Claire settled down, accepted the devil's gesture, and then ran deeper into the underground waterway. (to be continued.)
