Chapter 165

"Can you tell me why you look so disappointed when you wake up?"

The boy sitting cross legged across the bed hugged his shoulders and stared at the black haired wizard lying there with his eyes open. The other party was still indifferent and looked around as if he had just got up.

"I'm just a little disappointed. Even waking up alone should be better than now." Lauren shrugged blandly as if it didn't matter: "it has absolutely nothing to do with someone. Please don't misunderstand."

"... you really hate me, don't you?"

"My dear Asriel, don't you think it's stupid to ask this question?"

"Although this is really sad, Asriel is used to it." the young man sighed very mature, and his Ruby eyes blinked slightly: "Leia is outside the door, if you really want her..."

"How long have I been in a coma?" Loren immediately stopped the topic.

"A whole month, technically 32 days - if you exceed this time limit, you may never wake up!"

When talking about this topic, the young man looked a little more serious: "I warned you. Indeed, your constitution of spiritual and material combination is very special, which can enable you to resist the void power beyond the imagination of many wizards, but there is not an upper limit. Do you know how dangerous it is to drain all your energy at one time?"

"Will you die?"

"There is no doubt about that." the young man spread his hands, and a dangerous smile appeared on his delicate face: "the most important thing is that you, like a living dead man, are a perfect container for many dangers."

"You are a wizard. When your energy is exhausted, your spiritual palace is like an unguarded fortress. It is easy to take advantage of it, not to mention that we are still facing opponents like mazka!"

"But at least this time we won, that's enough." his hands trembled to support his body, and his face was a indifferent smile: "let's talk about business."

"For example..." Asriel was still a "naive" fool.

"What happened after I was unconscious." Loren narrowed his eyes. "Mazka should not be dead. Why did the ogre suddenly break up?"

"This... Process is very complicated." Asriel's small face showed some tangles and hugged his shoulder: "in short, you destroyed the 'virtue' of its existence."

"... what do you mean?" Loren raised his arm and revealed the snake Rune on his right wrist. "Like this?"

"No, it's worse than this... In a word, dear mazka can't appear for the time being. Even if there is another time, it will have to wait a long time, so dear Loren, you can rest assured."

"As for why those ogres will break up..." the boy smiled: "because when you are about to kill it, I eroded this guy's consciousness and temporarily controlled those ogres by his hand - although it only takes a moment, it only takes a moment."

"Now mazka no longer exists. Although the ogres will continue to invade, it will never be on that scale again - Dear Loren, I'm risking my injury to help you. This is a witness of our friendship!"

Asriel's expression was as sincere as possible. There were even a few more tears in his eyes. He was so excited that his shoulders were shaking. His right hand pressed tightly on his chest and looked pitifully at the black haired wizard.

It's a pity that he doesn't eat this.

"Let's put it another way." Lauren showed a bright smile: "when a guy nearly died, his first reaction was not to save his friend, but to seize the opportunity to devour another existence similar to him, so as to enhance his strength. Am I wrong?"

"Everything... Has many angles." the teenager's smile was not embarrassed at all: "that's just one aspect."

"I know I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid enough to know nothing - dear Asriel, you haven't told me too many things. Just like this time, you already know who the enemy is and know that I have the ability to kill it."

"It just happened to happen." the young man was helpless: "I can't do anything..."

"Why did mazka come?"

Loren interrupted him directly, and his voice became colder and colder: "why did you appear in that cellar? How many 'beings' like you are, and why did you come to the world?"

Asriel's smile froze.

"If I guess correctly, I will face similar enemies in the future, right?" Loren looked at the boy with burning eyes: "mazka is only the first, and definitely not the last."

"... my dear friend, you guessed right."

Asriel flashed a dangerous light in his eyes, and his expression stopped pretending: "mazka is not the first, or even the most dangerous. Sooner or later, we will meet more difficult enemies, which is certain."

"But you don't have to worry too much about this, because you can face them." the teenager slightly raised his mouth: "thank you, dear mazka. After swallowing its remaining consciousness, my strength has recovered a little - next time, I can build a stronger dream."

"I'm sorry, but what role does your 'dream' play in addition to letting me fight and kill in it?"

"Dreams are what you think, dreams are everything. Dear Loren, your understanding of emptiness is still too shallow - the more powerful the power of emptiness, the more serious the distortion of the surrounding environment. When this level reaches a certain level, it is the real dream world."

"Just like mezka, when its' dream 'opens, it can further incarnate into a more terrible posture, and even imitate your moves to distort his own appearance into what it wants." the boy tilted his head reluctantly: "it's a pity that poor Asriel can't do this now."

"If you are going to continue to fight these threats in the future, you must slowly master the way to fight in your dreams, because this is the only way to accurately hurt them, and only you can do it."

Loren slowly clenched his hands and felt the power from his body - although he was still weak, he was already able to connect to his spiritual palace.

"How long will it take me to recover?"

"Don't be so anxious." the boy resumed his playful expression again: "Dear Lauren, you still have guests."

guest?

The moment the door was opened, Asriel's figure disappeared again. The imperceptible Female Elf walked into the room. Her emerald eyes were obviously a little more happy: "are you awake?"

"Just now." Lauren smiled awkwardly, especially after seeing the concerned eyes of the other party: "I haven't thanked you for bringing me back from yongyelin valley."

"It's just a small matter, and you're not very heavy." Leia's eyes seemed very plain, as if she was talking about something insignificant: "you're a guest of Morningstar forest, and protection is what we should do."

The room was very quiet. Although Loren didn't mean to, he could feel that there was something wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.

"Please, excuse me..." Lauren said awkwardly, "what's the matter?"

"Your Duke's messenger has come, and she has brought a... Priest?" Leia said the word with some uncertainty: "they want to build a church in the morning star forest, and then let us all believe in your holy cross, otherwise the Duke will not agree to alliance with us!"

What's going on?!

Although somewhat surprised, Loren nodded: "I see... I will try my best to see if I can let the Duke messenger take back this... Some harsh conditions."

"The clergyman is outside. He seems to know you." silently turned around, the fairy was ready to find the little clergyman and stopped at the door at the moment when she was about to leave:

"Thank you."

Just for a moment, the subtle voice disappeared with her figure.
