A devil's self-redemption

Seeing the confused Luo Lai, Mireya was a little helpless. This little guy was really ignorant, but she didn't want to explain anything, so she said to him: "The identity of a half-demon is not something you can choose. My mother once As I said, if there is something you dare not face, then it will definitely become a shadow that will accompany you throughout your life. Do you want to always live in the shadow of the half-demon identity? Or do you want to live in that Rona? Under the shadow?”

Listening to this girl who looked to be a few years older than him, imitating the comforting behavior of an adult, Luo Lai wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of hurting this kind girl's heart, so he followed her words and said: "I don't want to live. In the shadow of anything.”

Mireya listened to Luo Lai's words and smiled happily: "Then you have to work hard, you have to face him, and then defeat him!" After saying that, she raised her right hand and made a fist to cheer up.

At this time, the newborn sun gradually spread its brilliance into this dark corner. Luolai felt the warm sunshine shining on his face, and couldn't help but smile. He looked at Mireya and said, "I have always been a A person who can face danger and defeat it." When he said this, his face showed strong confidence. It's just that such an expression appears on such a childish face, it feels quite funny.

Mireya seemed to be infected by his confidence, and a charming smile broke out on her face. It was also now that Mireya realized that the little devil who had been beaten miserably just now didn't seem to need her comfort at all. But her smile deepened.

Mireya stood up and stretched out her palms to pull Luolai up. Luolai glanced at the white palm in front of him, stretched out his right hand, and held it without hesitation. With a soft and delicate feeling, he was pulled up by Mireya.

Mireya didn't notice that when Luo Lai stood up, a small pile of powdered dust slipped from his open left hand and scattered on the ground.

It wasn't until the two stood together that Luolai realized awkwardly that his height was less than Mireya's shoulders.

Mireya held his hand without letting go, obviously treating him as her little brother.

The two of them were walking hand in hand in the busy courtyard of Luofu. From time to time, people cast strange glances at them. It was obvious that they all knew their "names", but neither of them paid attention.

Luo Lai and Mireya found an empty table and sat down, ordered the servants to bring some food, and then started chatting again.

Mireya asked: "Luolai! Are you six years old this year? Is it time to participate in this year's spiritual trial?"

Luo Lai was a little confused after hearing this, and asked doubtfully: "I am six years old, but what is the spiritual enlightenment trial?"

When Mireya heard his question, her eyes widened in surprise, and asked: "You don't know about the spiritual trial? Have the Luo family really given up on you? You are also a direct bloodline after all, why are they so cruel? ah?"

After hearing Mireya's words, Luo Lai seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. This spiritual enlightenment trial may be related to his future destiny. He must find out, so he asked directly: "Mireya, can you tell me the details? Can you tell me about this spiritual enlightenment trial?"

Mireya looked at Luo Lai with pity and replied: "Of course, this is not a secret. The Spiritual Enlightenment Trial is a trial that every devil must participate in when he reaches six years old but not ten years old. The trial scene It is a secret realm. The entrance is in the city lord's palace in each city. After entering the secret realm, you need to find something called a spiritual enlightenment stone. Only demons who have obtained the spiritual enlightenment stone are qualified to practice. Don't look at the Luo family's ancestral cultivation methods. , without the Spiritual Enlightenment Stone, even if I give you the practice secrets, you won’t be able to practice.”

After listening to Mireya's story, Luo Lai asked calmly: "How to obtain the Spiritual Enlightenment Stone? Is the process of obtaining it difficult? Can we kill each other in the secret realm?"

Mireya did not expect that Luo Lai could find the key problem in an instant, and replied with some relief: "The Spiritual Enlightenment Stone is just a broad name. Its shape is not fixed. It may be a water drop or a leaf. This It depends on the form of the prey you kill. If the prey you kill is a bird or animal, then after the prey dies, their heart will be petrified in a short time. This is the so-called spiritual stone. And if you touch When you encounter some special forms of monsters, such as tree spirits, water ghosts, fire spirits, etc., after killing them, their bodies will turn into spiritual enlightenment stones of the corresponding form. But it is best to pray not to encounter such monsters, so The monsters are very powerful, and it is impossible to be killed by the little kids who have not practiced. Instead, they will kill them in nine out of ten cases. There are also many spiritual enlightenment stones in the secret realm, but every time the people who participate in the trial There are a lot of them, so competition is inevitable.”

Mireya's answer made Luo Lai's young face become unusually solemn. He finally knew why Rogge had been looking for a combat skills teacher for him. It was to give him a certain ability to protect himself when entering this secret realm. His His body is smaller than other demons, and he can't compete with that group of people. If he can't learn powerful combat skills, then how can he compete for the spiritual stone?

While Luo Lai was meditating, Mireya added: "If you are lucky enough to get the Spiritual Enlightenment Stone, you must use it within a short period of time, otherwise its spirituality will quickly dissipate and turn into a real stone. Of course, If you have a special treasure that can prevent the spirit of the Spiritual Enlightenment Stone from dissipating."

Luo Lai was a little stunned and said directly: "You mean, you can also get spiritual enlightenment stones outside the secret realm? Some families will even send some enlightened demons into the secret realm to hunt for spiritual enlightenment stones and then bring them out?"

Mireya looked at the little kid in front of her with relief. She only showed a little bit of talk and the little kid could understand what she meant. However, there were still some common sense things that he didn't know.

Mireya nodded, shook her head and said: "You are right, and you are not right. There are indeed spiritual enlightenment stones outside the secret realm, but the number is very small. The properties of spiritual enlightenment stones are very special, and they can prevent spiritual enlightenment stones from There are too few spiritually dissipated treasures. There are only a handful of such treasures in each family. They may not be willing to let others take them in. If the person carrying them dies in the secret realm, the loss will be great. And there are , a demon who has already awakened his spirit cannot enter the secret realm. This is the rule of the secret realm. However, he can use the enlightenment stone immediately after entering the secret realm. In this way, he is a demon who has entered the realm of demon spirits. He can stay in the secret realm for a long time. He does many things within his family, such as helping the family eliminate some potential geniuses from hostile forces. Or members of the same family who have a competitive relationship with him."

Luo Lai was secretly stunned when he heard this. Although he understood these things, he still felt shuddering when Mireya said them so thoroughly. He finally understood what this spiritual enlightenment trial was about. It was clearly a novice village trial.
