There are a few days every month when my belly gets bigger

The flaming elements enter the interior along the fingers, wandering freely in the body, washing away, and washing away the various impurities.When those changes finally stopped, Sui Guangle only felt as if he had been washed by the sap of the tree of life, and he felt completely new. "My Majesty..." Someone seemed to be whispering softly, silently watching his changes, the voice contained many emotions, and in the end, it turned into a sigh, "Your... Holy Light , are you back at last?"

Different from the gentleness in the past, his voice at the moment is a bit hoarse, as if the emotions accumulated in the past have no way to vent, and finally burst out at this moment.Sui Guangle responded softly, and then he heard low laughter echoing in the cave.

Briel's laughter was not loud, but because of the location, it was magnified to the extreme.The low laughter slapped on the cave wall, and then echoed wave after wave, until the whole cave echoed with this kind of laughter.

Sui Guangle was silent for a while, this guy must be out of his mind, right?

There is a breeze in the air, and there are rustling sounds.Not far away, Briel seemed to stand up, but then he heard a muffled groan and the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Briel—"

"It's okay, my legs are numb after squatting for too long." Briel replied softly.

Sui Guangle waited for him to come to hold her hand, but the other party did not get up for a long time.The long silence made him a little uneasy, so Sui Guangle softly and tentatively called his name: "Briel?"

"I'm rubbing my legs." He gave such an answer, making Sui Guangle dumbfounded.

The two fell into a soundless silence for a while, but Sui Guangle faintly felt a line of sight sticking to her body, as if she was looking at her intently.Thinking of the creatures that live here, it's almost impossible to think who is doing it.

"What have you been looking at me for?"

"...I haven't seen it for a long time." He gave a weird answer, and Sui Guangle couldn't figure out his brain circuit. Aren't the two of them together every day?Sure enough, alchemists are not creatures that can be deduced by common sense.At this time, Brier let out a "huh" and asked again: "Has your body recovered?"

"The holy light can already be summoned, and it should be restored after a while."

Briel could finally get up at this time, and Sui Guangle felt that the other party was slowly walking in front of him.The warm skin caressed the cold skeleton, and the neck bone suddenly felt warm, as if someone had imprinted their lips in it.

Sui Guangle: ...

Fuck, kissing a skeleton or something is too scary!It's completely beyond what he can accept!

But he didn't do anything else, just stroked his skeleton quietly and sat aside.Sui Guangle recalled these magic circles and magic, and it is estimated that Briel also consumed a lot of energy, and now he has to rely on meditation to recover.

So he didn't disturb the other party, and felt the holy light in his body alone.The whole body is completely new, and those old hidden wounds and hidden dangers have disappeared, as if they were all transferred to other places.

other... places?

Some strange thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind, and the next moment, he gave up sensing the holy light, and instead focused on observing Briel.He should be meditating to restore magic at this moment. The elements here are very rich, which is very suitable for doing such things.

However, the vortex he stirred up was not very big, it was a size smaller than what he had seen before.

Unable to tell what was going on in his mind, Sui Guangle sat cross-legged with the cluster of flame roses in his arms, seemingly summoning the Holy Light, but actually distractedly observing Briel.He realized that he was meditating, slowly recovering his magic power, and then, the magic fluctuations became weaker and weaker, and suddenly stopped.

"Briel?" He tentatively asked, but got no answer.After a while, I heard the other party responding: "It's okay, I plan to use potions to recover the magic power, just go back and make it."

Something is wrong!

"You can concoct it here. I remember you said that there are many magic circles outside, and no one will be able to come in."

"Recovery potions are not suitable for making here. The fire element in the crater is too strong and violent, and it is easy to cause effects."

"...Oh." Sui Guangle agreed, and before the opponent could move, she grabbed his arm like lightning.The movement was so big that it even scratched Briel's starry sky robe, and only heard a "chi la" sound, and the cloth was scratched.

"Alan!" He seemed caught off guard, and there was some irritation in his voice.

"Did you consume a lot of energy after doing this?" Sui Guangle asked without even thinking about it, and had already started to inspect Briel's body with holy light.

"It's nothing, you can recover after a period of rest." He immediately wanted to pull his hand out, but the other party pulled him tightly, and it was too late by this time.

Sui Guangle touched that piece of skin repeatedly, and suddenly let out a strange laugh: "Salamander blood?"

He silently let the skinny phalanx slide repeatedly on his wrist, feeling that the other's sliding finger was getting more and more urgent, and finally stopped at one place, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the phalanx, and answered firmly And simply: "Yes, the blood of the salamander, I accidentally splashed a little on myself."

is it?

So, what is that wound?Don't tell him that Briel, who has reached the level of a master in potions and inscriptions, would actually make such a stupid mistake of hurting himself by the materials.

"...It's what you say it is." Sui Guangle whispered, and then she withdrew her finger regardless of the other party's persuasion.The moment I clasped my hands, I don't know why, but my mind was a little dazed.

There is never power that can be obtained out of thin air.

One thing is exchanged for one thing. In this world built by holy light and magic, there has always been only equivalent exchange.

He once lost the holy light because he used the eternal holy light rashly.

And now...

With a slight movement of the fingertips, a cluster of soft rays of light lit up, warming his fingertips.

Briel watched helplessly as the cluster of holy light was driven into his body by the young man, and then he walked around the body to investigate.

He was too exhausted at the moment, unable to resist, so he could only smile wryly, allowing the holy light to scan his whole body.In the end, the holy light stayed at the position of the heart, suddenly sank into it, and disappeared.

"Perhaps you can explain it." He heard the boy say bluntly, not in a good mood.

"Do you remember our contract? I found a way to use the contract to bear part of the damage for you. Then you can summon the Holy Light."

"Part of the damage?" He repeated the sentence with a rising sound.

But it is impossible for Briel to tell him all the truth, this is already his bottom line.So he nodded and confirmed: "Part of it."

"I don't think we signed a master-servant contract at that time." Completely denied, without a trace of hesitation, "I have never heard that a master-servant contract can bear the damage for the other party... the only thing that can be done is equal contract."

"It's just aimed at the weaker side." It would be great if he thought so, maybe he could cover up the other thing, "It can be reversed."

There was a brief pause in the conversation, and there was a moment of silence in the air.

"...Upside down?" He chewed the word, and slowly, paused.As if to confirm again, he asked again: "Master and servant upside down?"

"Ah."

After he answered, the teenager stopped asking questions.Briel quietly looked at the skeleton, and at the cluster of roses that had changed color in his hands, he curled his lips silently.

"The master-servant contract is not about taking part of the damage...it's about taking all of it."

"Ah."

"Did you... bear it for me...?"

After a long silence, he finally asked this sentence, even his voice trembled a little.Briel covered his trembling phalanx with his palm, warming him with his own body heat.

"I said I would protect you..." Blair sighed, "I have already failed at this point, and I can't let your power to protect yourself disappear." His fingers rubbed the phalanges, as if wanting to The cold body was also warmed: "How can the Holy See's child of the Holy Light lose the Holy Light?"

He looked at his trembling body and finally smiled.Sure enough, he is still so soft-hearted, as long as he is willing to give everything for him, he can look back.

"It doesn't matter, you've always protected me anyway, haven't you? Your Majesty..." The long-lost words came out slowly between his lips and teeth, as if his soul was trembling.He smiled and comforted him, "It's not as bad as you think. Darkness affects priests the most, but it's much easier for mages. I just need to meditate for a while, and the magic power can be fully restored. It won't be like You do."

"...But the realm will fall." The boy pointed out this reality calmly.

"Ah... not much, just fell to the early eighth stage, as long as the vision is there, you can recover soon." He pretended to smile relaxedly, "Just take a rest for a while."

"I can't, let you face everything again..."

Is it really as simple as he described?Sui Guangle couldn't believe it.He felt that the contract between the two had been affected, and a huge change had taken place, but it was by no means as simple as what Briel said.He still remembered that when he shot a cluster of holy light in Emerald Emerald, Briel didn't respond at all, but before that, his own holy light clearly penetrated into his heart.

The magic circle drawn with the blood of the salamander, the ink made from the sap of the tree of life, and the blood donated by the contractor himself... What do these represent?

Sui Guangle began to hate herself for not working hard on it before.At that time, Reuters was learning all of this, and because Alan was the Son of the Holy Light, he didn't expend much energy, so that he vaguely felt that these were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember what they meant.

Briel is meditating slowly, and his recovery speed is really slow to the extreme.It's not like Sui Guangle hasn't seen him before when he was meditating. At that time, the elemental vortex was much stronger than it is now, but now...well, he was squeezed too hard, so he has to recover slowly, right?

Another discovery was that he could drink holy water.

Sui Guangle can only attribute these changes in Briel to the master-servant contract.If he is the master, it might make sense for Briel, who is a slave, to be able to drink holy water?

There were times when he didn't know how to face Briel.When he has always been the one who pays, it seems that it is very easy to pick up the pick; however, when Briel reversed the roles of the two, he felt that he should not be so willful. After all, the dark natural disaster will affect everyone. Everything he has experienced also tells him that he must do his best to solve this disaster.

What is this?Addicted to being abused, or repaying kindness?Sui Guangle was so embarrassed by herself.

"What are you thinking about?"

"...I was thinking, I don't want to deal with the dark natural disasters anymore."

"Well, okay, then we'll go back to Fei Leng Cui, or simply go and find your head."

Sui Guangle:! ! !

Damn, he didn't hear wrong, right?Blair actually agreed so readily. Didn't he always take it as his duty to expel the dark natural disasters?

"If you don't want to do it, don't do it." Briel touched his phalanx and held it in his hand. He seemed to be obsessed with this behavior, "There will always be other ways to solve it... I don't want to see you get hurt again gone."

Happiness comes so fast...it just feels weird.

But it seemed that Briel really didn't intend to let him touch these anymore. After resting enough in the crater, he told him that he planned to take him directly back to Fei Leng Cui, avoiding those cardinals.

When we arrived at the entrance of the crater, it was still night and the moon was in the sky.Briel decided to wait until tomorrow morning to start, and to rest here at night.

Turning around to go back, he seemed to hear a strange singing.

"Briel, did you hear that?"

"What, Lele?"

The misty singing came from a distance, ethereal and graceful.The familiar tone seems to awaken people's best memories, drive away the fog of the world, and all the unfortunate and sad things.
