Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Devil, dead?" After listening to Glenn, Marcus froze. He had just thought of countless possibilities about his headache in his head, but he did not expect that the pain that caused him much torture was the death of the devil. Subconsciously, he believed in King Cui's statement, and this gave rise to another question, "Why did the devil die cause headaches?"

According to common sense, when the devil, the original owner of wisdom, died, what he left behind became completely unowned. Since it is an unowned thing, it is naturally understandable that Marcus, the original thief who could not help it at the time, possessed it. There is no justification for using the stolen wisdom when the devil is alive, but he is hurt after the devil dies. This is logically unreasonable.

But behind the gate called magic, many things are contrary to common sense. Atwood shook the antlers on his head and shook off a few leaves. "That's how it is. We don't know how you got this wisdom from the devil. But what we know is that your soul is not enough to carry this wisdom. And this is also the crux of your headache, your pain is not From within the head, it is your soul who is warning of excessive load. "

"Warning?" Marcus was confused by this term. He wanted to scratch his chin to alleviate this confusion. This was his habit when he was a child, but when he touched his face, he remembered that he was a mushroom now, and the mushroom normally has no chin. .

The gaffe of the king's hand did not attract the attention of the other two. King Cui's body shuttled back and forth between the branches and leaves. It seemed that only in this way could he calm down as much as possible. "Yes, it's a warning. The mystery of the soul is more difficult knowledge than magic. Even Atwood and I can't get a complete picture of your illness. But what is certain is the wisdom of the devil. It is now slowly and unstoppably integrated into your soul. This integration is different from the one you held and used before, it will destroy the harmony of your soul, and the headache is only the initial manifestation of this destruction. "

"So what will it bring in the end?" Marcus looked up and tried to catch up with Glenn's figure, but it was only in vain. The speed of the latter has exceeded the line that can be captured by vision. However, Marcus doesn't really want to see King Cui's posture, he just hopes to let the other party tell him the things he wants to know the most quickly.

"It's not easy to say." The Green Staff's words brought the King's hand back, turning his attention from the branches and leaves above to this hairy creature. The old elf shook the wooden stick in his hand and tried to think, but all his expressions were covered with thick hair, making it difficult to recognize. "From my speculation, the most likely at present are two Results. "

At the same time, Atwood extended a fat finger, "First, your soul is not enough to support this foreign object, it will be damaged or even damaged. And you will become physically and mentally out of sync. In the human language, you will become an idiot. Or worse, your body is still alive, but the will has dissipated, the body becomes a cage, and your broken soul is imprisoned in it, even death becomes a luxury. "

"The second possibility is that your soul is stronger than we predicted. It can accept the devil's wisdom and even make it a real part of itself by running in. Of course, this may consume some things, and you will lose some memory. The wisdom gained is not complete. But this is already the best ending. Only ... "

"Just what?" Mushroom's face had no blood vessels, so no one knew how ugly Marcus' face was when he said this. But from his trembling voice, strong fear had firmly grasped his spine, and crawled coldly along the bone marrow to the brain. The first possibility proposed by the old elf, he can never accept, so at present he can only put hope on the second. Marcus wondered what he might face in addition to the risk of losing his memory.

"It's just that the change of the soul is extremely slow, you know, this may be the place where we are different from the devil and the devil. Those who visit the abyss can always easily change the appearance of their soul. But we can't, that is, we can't Determine how long it will take you to complete this fusion. Maybe a few days, maybe a few years, maybe, maybe this change will not be completed until the end of your life. "Atwood said a little helplessly, because if Marcus If you want to believe the second possibility, his headache does not need to be healed, nor can he heal.

"This ..." In fact, this is a green wand. In just a few days, Marcus has changed his temperament caused by this severe headache, let alone spend the rest of his life in this pain, even if he is old The elf clearly told him that he only had to endure another year, lest the king's hand would go crazy.

"In fact, there is another possibility." King Cui's voice passed down from the branches and leaves above his head. "If we can use other methods to guide your soul, speed up the progress of this fusion, and protect it from the side, then you will be very big. May be able to get the devil's legacy intact. But, do you really want this legacy? "

"What do you mean?" Marcus was confused by Glenn. Of course he wanted the devil's wisdom. If he didn't have this extraordinary thinking ability, who would he be? But given that the opponent is the ruler of this space, the king's hand has not been impulsive enough to directly hit the opponent, he used a plausible question to cover up dissatisfaction in this way.

Sure enough, King Cui did not hear the question in the discourse, he regarded it as a normal question. So the existence hiding behind the leaves explained patiently, "The devil ’s things are not something that humans can use at will after all. If you choose to accept it, it is tantamount to being with the devil. We ca n’t be sure that the devil you trade with is really Death, if he did n’t die, then your behavior is to give his soul to the other side. Even if he is really dead, the devil ’s wisdom also contains their ideas, you may gradually assimilate with them And, in the end, the dead devil will be reborn on you. "

Marcus was silent. He is measuring the price he will pay and the reward he will receive. The mushroom man's body was trembling because of tension, and apparently engaged in a fierce collision of thoughts. This made Glen on the treetop very puzzled. He turned his attention to Atwood and said in a language that only they could understand, "Why, he would rather become a devil than give up what was not his?" Because of greed? "

"It's undeniable ~ www.readwn.com ~ The factor you said is one of the keys." Green Staff nodded and replied in the same language, "But I don't think it applies to him. You know If a person's heart is full of desires, then how will he appear in the fantasy dream, and as we have seen, this human named Marcus does not. The reason why he feels difficult to choose, besides greed, I think it ’s still out of responsibility. In his kingdom, he must take on a huge responsibility, which prevents him from letting go of the devil ’s power. "

"Responsibility?" King Cui seemed to tilt her head, as if thinking about the meaning of the word. Then some are not sure, "He does not need to be responsible for his country, he is not their king."

"Yes, he is not. But he is loyal to the king. Even if the king is dead, he can't let himself retreat." Atwood said, glancing at the human beings he brought, there was a little regret in his eyes, "This may be There are few human reasons in this world, they like to bind themselves too much. "

"Like another human being you brought? I was the first time I saw the guy who directly turned into a stone after entering this world." Glen said cheerfully.

"Well, in fact, I thought he would become an iron block."
