Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

About a day later, in a clean medical room in Misaki City.

After resurrecting from the dead, Erquette finally opened her eyes.

The body and spirit that had been dormant regained their vitality again

"This is...where?"

Opening her eyes, what she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling, and there was a pungent disinfectant mixed with the smell of blood in the room.

This was not her temporary low-rent apartment.

She was about to get up, but her body was everywhere The severe pain caused her expression to become distorted inadvertently.

Pain!

This was the most intuitive feeling.

Every part of her body, from her head and neck to her limbs, was experiencing severe pain. She was at her limit just trying not to faint from the pain. It was like her whole body had been cut into pieces and then put back together with needles and threads. Every part of her body was in burning pain. piece?

——Seventeen divisions!!

Arquette suddenly remembered that he had indeed been cut into pieces by someone.

It was probably yesterday afternoon that she was attacked at the door as soon as she returned to the apartment. The murderer used an unusually sharp knife to cut her body into seventeen pieces.

What's even more weird is that when she was cut by that person's knife, her high-intensity self-healing ability seemed to have malfunctioned and did not have any healing effect.

Because of her usual over-reliance on this physique, coupled with the enemy's sneak attack, she was confused when the strange pain came, allowing the guy to take the opportunity to divide herself, and the entire body was lost in her trance. Without the ability to resist, he can only let him do whatever he wants with his body until he completely loses consciousness (death).

If she was not the most special one among the True Ancestors, she would have been completely killed in the process of being divided in that weird way, and there would be no chance of resurrection.

And now... where are I?

Reaching out and touching the wounds on his body that were sutured by the Moon Spirit Liquid, Erquette looked at the surrounding environment in confusion.

This was a clean room with a white ceiling similar to that of a hospital. She was the only one lying on the white hospital bed.

This place looks like an infirmary...

Have you been picked up by someone?

What surprised her even more was that the guy who picked her up could actually heal herself in that state. This was really incredible.

Arquette struggled to get up, but Xia Yuan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, heard the movement inside the door, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Arquette struggling to sit up, he gave some advice.

"You'd better not move around. Although your body has been sutured and treated by me using the costume, the internal injuries are not that easy to heal. If you move around like this and cause the wounds on your body to open, it will become very troublesome."

"……"

Arquette did not answer.

Her eyes were deeply attracted the moment Xia Yuan stepped into the room. She just raised her head and looked at Xia Yuan's face and body seriously. This person... was so strange.

No matter from every aspect, this is the case. Can the person in front of me really be called a human being?

Leaving aside the black flame that persists in the soul, there is the supreme personal soul, the perfect body from the hands of the source, and the terrifying power that controls the principles of law.

There was no need to show it deliberately, just standing there and every move he made gave her a huge impact.

Where did this reincarnation of a god come from?

She originally thought that it was strange enough that there was a being like herself in the world, but she didn't expect to see an even stranger guy today.

So she couldn't help but ask:"Are you human?"

"……"

After hearing this strange question and discovering that Arquette was looking at him constantly, Xia Yuan also understood that this was because she was checking her own information through restraint.

Erquit indeed has such ability.

Princess of the Earth, compared to her inability to deal with her inhibitions, she is really loved by the world.

As long as it is a question she wants to know, the inhibition will be introduced into her mind to answer her questions, a proper mobile earth library

"Don't stare, of course I am human, just different from ordinary people."

That's so different, or there's no similarity at all."

Erquet tilted his head, showing a puzzled expression.

"My appearance isn't that weird, you don't have to stare at my face all the time."

Xia Yuan touched his face and joked

"No...I'm actually looking at the inside. Although you say you are a human being, your soul and body have obviously……"

"Wait, let’s stop this topic for now.

Xia Yuan interrupted her,"Although I understand your strong thirst for knowledge, it is not polite to explore other people's secrets at will, let alone your savior.""

"Some things can be seen by yourself, don't make it public, I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

Looking into Elquet's eyes, Xia Yuan sighed.

She is the first person who can see through her true nature, except for Bao Shiweng and Merlin. She is worthy of being the White Princess favored by the earth. As long as she wants to know, Gaia will convey the corresponding information to her mind.

"oh……"

Erqite nodded and very obediently did not continue to ask further questions.

Then she thought of the second problem... she was not wearing any clothes.

If the wounds on her body were carefully treated by this man, that is to say...

Thinking of this possibility, she felt even worse.

Xia Yuan also realized that Arquette was not wearing any clothes.

"Ahem, it was indeed me who put you back together from your corpse. It's just that you died too completely at that time. I could only perform simple splicing of your body. The state was not restored to complete, so I didn't put clothes on you."

"Don't worry, you were no longer human at that time, so I didn't see anything except body parts."

Hearing this, Erquette tilted his head.

After successfully understanding Xia Yuan's behavior, he couldn't help but feel some favorable feelings in his heart.

"How do you feel now?"

"hiss……"

After trying to move his hands and feet, Elquette still felt a slight pain in his body. However, other than the pain, he could perform basic activities without any problems. It was only a matter of time before he fully recovered.

The treatment method is actually so clever?

She asked with some surprise:"You managed to heal such an injury so quickly. How did you do it?"

Erquette knew that the wounds on her body were weird and special. , that was a wound that couldn't be directly treated even by her recovery. How on earth did he help her to be spliced and resurrected in such a short period of time?

"Because the injuries caused by the Demonic Eye of Direct Death are difficult to heal using magic means, I can only use special props to help you sew the wounds, and then infuse magic into your body through the blood to speed up the self-healing of your body."

"So it turns out that you helped me sew these mercury threads on my body, wait a minute! You also gave my body a blood transfusion?!"

When she heard the word blood transfusion, Arquette's eyes widened.

She always remembered the last time she was tricked by Roya into sucking blood, and she went on a rampage, causing a tragic tragedy.

Now when she hears about blood sucking, she will feel scared

"Don't be nervous, it's just transporting, not inhaling. Xia

Yuan did not hide anything from her, and continued:"Because your body and spirit were already in a state of death at that time, I only dared to deliver blood to you after I confirmed that you would not enter a bloodthirsty state of rage. magic"

"How about it? Do you feel anything unusual in your body right now?"

"No, no, except for the severe pain everywhere in my body, I didn’t feel anything special. But I can feel that there is indeed a special magic power in my body. That is probably your blood.……"

"Yes, since you can feel the condition of your whole body, it seems that your recovery is pretty good."Xia Yuan nodded, knowing that his treatment method had good results.

"Thank you very much for saving me."

After a brief chat, Arquette suddenly grasped the key point of what he just said.

"By the way, what did you just say killed me?"

"Eye of Death"

"You mean the Demonic Eye of Death?"

"Well, that's right."Xia Yuan nodded.

"Except for the pair of miraculous evil eyes that can kill all things, there is probably nothing on this planet that can easily cut you apart without any resistance."

Speaking of this, Erquette couldn't help but think of the bloody scene where she was divided. This bad memory made her shudder, and her body felt vaguely more painful.

"real or fake? Do eyes like this still exist in this day and age?"

Having said that, she still couldn't believe it when she heard the name of these eyes.

Although she had heard of these eyes, she had never really seen them.

Now that she met them for the first time, she didn't expect that she would use her own eyes to see them. body to test the power of these eyes

"There are, and there are more than one pair, at least there are two pairs among the people I know, and one of them is the murderer who cut you apart last night."

"Do you know who killed me?!"

I learned from Xia Yuan that he actually knew the murderer who cut him into seventeen pieces last night. Erquette's mood immediately became uneasy, and even his tone became sharp. The vigilance that he had gradually let go of once again became... Laman.

After suffering such pain, she had sworn when she was half alive and half dead.

When she recovered from her injuries, she must find the hateful bastard who dared to attack her, and she must let him taste being beaten. The pain of being divided into seven parts.

However, just when she was about to have an attack, Xia Yuan's generous palm had already gently touched her head.

"Calm down."

As she finished speaking, a gust of cool wind came into her mind, which suddenly made her furious mood calm down a lot.

"I just know him, it doesn't mean I'm his accomplice, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you."

"Although the sutures have been completed, your physical condition is still very unstable. If you don't want to collapse, just lie down and rest, and don't move around or use magic. The group of dead disciples outside are looking for you crazily."

The circulating magic power was suppressed by Xia Yuan, and then she felt the severe pain in her body's feedback. Erquette's brain suddenly became more awake. She gradually withdrew the rioting magic power and sighed softly.

"I understand. I'm sorry. I was a little reckless.……"

"It doesn't matter, it's just instinct. If I were killed by someone else, I would be the same as you."

"It turned out to be the Demonic Eye of Direct Death...the kind of legendary demonic eye that is difficult to appear even in the mythical age. If it really kills with such a demonic eye, I have nothing to say."

After sighing for a while, Erquette accepted Xia Yuan's proposal, stopped moving, and chose to lie back comfortably.

"So...who are you? Why should you save me?"

She turned her face and looked at Xia Yuan.

After chatting for so long, did you finally remember to ask someone else's name?

Xia Yuan looked into her eyes and replied

"Xia Yuan, now the third magic user, accepted the entrustment of the Demonic Grand Marshal and was the person in charge of dealing with the Dead Apostles matter here.

I just did it casually to save you."

"The Demonic Grand Marshal? Gem Man, I know him, the second magician who defeated the Moon King in 300 AD.……"

This name was told to Elquette by the true ancestors of the Millennium City, and the old man also entered the Millennium City to pay her respects.

So Erquette was very impressed by him

"It was him, because that bad old man still had some things to deal with, so he entrusted the affairs here to me, and then I met you."

"The first time we met, the White Princess of the Dead Apostles and True Ancestors, Her Highness Erquit Brunstadt."

He then called out Erquette's full name.

"Really? Sure enough, you already knew my identity.……"

A smile appeared on Erquette's face, and then he said:"Although I don't know what your purpose is, I still want to thank you for your help first. Without your help, I don't know how much it would cost to be resurrected." for how long"

"If you need any help from me in the future, feel free to call me and I will repay the kindness."

Repaying a favor? What a coincidence."

"That's just right, Miss Arquette, I happen to need your help here."

"ah……"

Hearing Xia Yuan's straightforward answer, Erquette was stunned for a moment inadvertently. The second half of the grateful words he was about to say was choked back, and he could only tilt his head.

Why is this person like this?

Shouldn't we put it off for a while and then accept it?

The little eyes are full of doubts

"I didn't save you out of kindness. Treating you also cost me a lot of precious blood, so I won't be polite to you. You should repay me."

"That's fine, that's fine.

Hearing this, Erquette nodded,"If you only saved me out of kindness and were an ordinary person involved in the incident, I would still feel guilty." If everyone just gets what they need, I would feel more at ease"

"Anyway, what do you need from me?"

Arquette tried to get up from the bed, but Xia Yuan stopped him.

"Don't rush into this yet, your current physical condition is still very bad, because after being killed once by the Demonic Eye of Death, your newly resurrected body will fall into an unprecedented state of weakness."

"You can't help me with your appearance. On the contrary, if you really meet Roja or other twenty-seven ancestors of the dead disciples, you will even hold me back."

"Do you actually even know about Roja? Are you from the church?"

"……"

Before Xia Yuan could answer the question, Erquette quickly rejected the idea.

"No, if you were the representative of the church and you encountered me who was so weak, you would definitely find a way to seal me, let alone help me resurrect."

"Don't be nervous, I just know a little bit about the secrets between the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, and one of them happens to be about the grudge between you and Roja."

As he said that, Xia Yuan sat on the chair next to the bed and raised his hand to make a cup of coffee.

"Do you want to drink?"

"No thanks"

"……"

"Don't underestimate me, it's just Roya, I can kill him easily"

"If it's the heyday, there's really no need to be afraid."

Without denying it, Xia Yuan nodded.

"But with all due respect, what percentage of your abilities do you still have left after you have just come back from the dead? With your body and soul that can collapse at any time, and in a state where you can't even exert 10% of your strength, can you still be confident in this state?"

"……"

Seeing that he had been seen through, Erquette sighed.

"You are right, I am indeed seriously injured now, but even if I only have these powers left, it will be easy to kill Roja!"

"You are confident, but unfortunately your brain is not very bright."

"Do you think Roja will just stand there waiting for you to come to the door, and then let you kill him? After a hundred years of reincarnation, his temperament is naturally extremely cautious. What he is best at is conspiracy. It is impossible for you to defeat him in your current state."

"Are you calling me stupid?"

Arquette stared in dissatisfaction.

"No, I'm just describing Roja's cunning"

"As a prerequisite for our cooperation, I will first provide you with some information."Xia Yuan stretched out his finger

"Based on your current physical condition, the combat power you can currently exert is only 20% to 10%, plus the debulf that cannot continue fighting. Roja is currently hiding in this city, and his identity is unknown, but I currently have some clues about him. Moreover, Nero Kaos, one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, is already looking for you in the city. What do you think their purpose is?"

They are chasing her...

Gaia has already told her the current situation in her mind.

These ancestors of the Dead Apostles and the Dead Apostles gathered here to hunt herself and Roja. In the eyes of some guys, , he and Roja are both their enemies, and they are both targets that need to be cleaned up.

If it were his heyday, he would certainly not be afraid of the encirclement and suppression by a few ancestors of the dead disciples, but if he faced them in his current body,

Maybe it will really happen.……

"There is another thing. Because of the random behavior of the Dead Apostles, the Holy Church has naturally sent additional troops here. In addition to a local member of the burial agency, there may be several agents of the burial agency in the future. , if you really meet them, it will definitely be a big trouble for you now."

"……"

Erquette fell silent and did not answer.

"What do you want to do?"

"I just want to cooperate with you a little bit, it will be beneficial to both of us, and the cooperation content is also very simple."

"I will help you find Roya and kill him, but you also have to play your part."

"For example, help me find Roja. No matter how well Roja hides himself, for you, the hunter who has chased and killed him many times, it shouldn't be a problem to find him. You can also use them as bait to lure out the remaining 27 Dead Apostles, and leave everything to me after that."

"are you serious?"

"How is it? This is a good deal, right?" He sat on the bed and narrated, and before he knew it, he had already reached out to Elquet.
