"Is that so?" Li Xinrui's dull expression became slightly more animated.
"By the way, I suggest you go to the study to rest. You can read the books there as you like. This is a test for you to become my apprentice." Angelet said with a smile.
Li Xinrui obviously misunderstood something, and her expression slowly became firmer. "I know, it's a test, right? I will persevere!"
Angelet nodded, the red light in his eyes flashing continuously, and the black smoke invisible to the naked eye continued to float towards Li Xinrui, but it could not affect her at all...
"Sure enough, illusion, spiritual witchcraft, and bloodline power are ineffective." He became more and more confident. "Let her try the specific effect of that mural. Anyway, it is a sexual experiment. It can be used as a waste. If she can really survive,
It won't be difficult to come down and accept her as an apprentice."
Li Xinrui seemed to have regained some energy and began to chatter about the surrounding runes and talisman formations.
Angelet answered casually and took her out of the basement to the living room to sit down and rest.
Watching the girl excitedly running out of the living room, yelling outside, and wandering around.
Angelet sat on the sofa, slightly lost in thought.
Now he has been able to determine that the mural is probably not a spirit body, but a powerful and strange existence in different time and space. Maybe it is not in the same dimension as him at all...
He didn't know what the purpose of the mural was, but vaguely, he felt that there seemed to be a troublesome secret hidden in the mural, a big secret. This was an instinct derived from a strong bloodline.
This was also the reason why he moved the mural back without hesitation in the first place. Because he felt that perhaps this secret would be the key to truly solving the confusion and problems of the bloodline sealers.
"It's time to go back." He picked up the brown wooden cup on the table and took a sip of the light green fruit tea.
He tapped his right hand lightly on the table.
Snap!
A cloud of black smoke suddenly exploded under the palm of the hand, splitting into countless strands and flying in all directions.
Every streak of black smoke accurately adheres to all the doors except the study and storage room.
Bang bang bang!!
There was a continuous sound of automatic door closing.
Angelet completely locked all the rooms, then raised his hand with satisfaction and took back the black smoke.
"What happened?" Li Xinrui walked in carefully from outside the living room door.
"It's okay. You can play whatever you want. I have to go out first." Angelet stood up and stared into Li Xinrui's eyes. "Remember, this is a test. If you can successfully survive my return,
During this period, you will become my official apprentice."
Li Xinrui nodded blankly.
boom!
Angelet's body suddenly turned into a ball of dark red flames and disappeared into the air instantly.
*********************
The sky was dark red, and there were faint thunder and lightning flashes among the black clouds in the distance.
On the vast dark red plain below, at the top of a hill, a dark red flame appeared out of thin air and transformed into a complete human form with a roar.
The human figure is draped in a black robe, with waist-length red hair spread neatly over his shoulders.
"When I come back this time, I must truly understand the secret of the Sealer." Angelet looked far away at the huge and conspicuous Doomsday Eye Tower on the plain in the distance.
Next to the black pyramid, an equally huge human-shaped black shadow still stands, with its body covered with cracks and cracks like rocks. It is a shell of sand formed by too much adhesion of wind sand and dust.
A cloud of black smoke rose from Angelet's feet. It surrounded him and flew straight towards the huge figure.
Boom!!
A muffled thunder sounded in the sky, passing from near to far.
On the waist of the huge figure in the distance, a white eyeball slowly turned around in the gap, staring at Angelet who was approaching.
The two gold-rimmed black-armored figures still standing in front of the eyeball also bowed slightly and saluted. The wise man turned into a golden light and flew away.
The moment the two people left, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose in the empty space in front of the eyeballs. The black smoke dispersed, revealing the figure of Angele wrapped inside.
"Long time no see, Beholder." Angele raised his head and stared at the huge white eyeballs.
The pupils of his eyes turned, and Angelet's figure was clearly reflected. "I am preparing for this auction. I have invited Baofeng and two newly awakened sealers. Phoenix, you have come back at the right time.
"
Angelet smiled: "I came back this time to ask you a very critical question, about ourselves."
The beholder's pupils shrank slightly, then returned to normal. "It seems as expected, you guessed it."
It paused, "In fact, you will know the answer sooner or later, and it's not too early now. What you want to ask is why we sealers are sealed, right?"
Angelet nodded: "Obviously we have powerful power and a long life, why are we still sealed? Are we sealed by other beings, or are we sealed by ourselves?"
The beholder's eyes showed memories, but he did not answer immediately.
Neither of them made a sound, and they were silent for a while.
After a while, the beholder slowly made a sound.
"Phoenix, you are not a native blooded person, so you don't know that the power of a blooded person comes too easily. With a long life and strong strength, countless deployment subordinates are derived. Each sealed person can quickly form a huge and terrifying...
Power. We conquered world after world, and any strong man continued to crawl at our feet. But"
At the critical moment, it paused.
"However, such power also has limitations. In other words, the more powerful the bloodline is, the more defects it has."
"Flaw?" Angelet frowned. "Sure enough, I know that the sealers will not seal themselves for no reason."
"You are right, we are indeed self-sealed." The beholder confirmed this statement, "The power of bloodline comes from the root world of bloodline. And the flaws of bloodline power also come from the support of the root world.
.When we are supported by the power of nightmares, we will be so powerful that no existence can resist it. However, when we lose the support of the power of the world, the power of blood will become a poison that corrodes our own souls. Because this power itself
To exist in the world, we need power to maintain it. But once there is no support from the power of the world, our bloodline will directly absorb power from our souls to stay alive."
"So, if you don't seal yourself, you will be sucked dry by yourself." The beholder replied calmly, "This is the price for us. We cannot escape from the world itself, so no matter what, we conquer one world after another, but we still have nothing to lose.
It is impossible to settle in other worlds without having to come back again."
Angelet's mood became heavier as the beholder explained.
"That is to say, even the locals in the nightmare world have to seal themselves for a long time, and they will not be supported by the power of nightmares, right?"
The beholder clicked his eyes: "In the nightmare world, we can only gradually wake up from our slumber when the power of the world is boiling. But most of the time, the power of the world is in another extreme state of stability. That state will not be right for us.
We have no support at all. So we can only choose to seal ourselves. Even you, it’s the same. When the time comes, if you don’t seal yourself, you will die.”
"Is there no other way?"
"Collecting the power of souls can extend your activity time." The beholder finally explained why all the sealers like to collect souls. "And souls can also extend the lifespan of our sealers."
Angelet took a deep breath. He didn't want to see such a result. Thousands or even tens of thousands of years had passed before a seal was sealed. When he woke up, almost all the acquaintances around him were dead. That was not what he wanted.
life. Originally, he wanted to stay with Weiwei until her death. Now it seems that this idea is not realistic.
"The power of the world, the power of the nightmare world, is both the source of our strength and the source of our restraint. Without its support, we simply cannot survive for a long time. It turns out that this is the truth." There is a vague feeling in the depths of Angelet's bloodline.
Being able to detect that what the beholder said is indeed the truth about the sealers. "So how long is it until the seal is sealed?"
"Every time we wake up, we can have an active period of about three thousand years. Until the power of nightmare gradually calms down and cannot absorb support, we will actively seal ourselves. It is still early, you can enjoy the benefits brought by this power.
Happy." The beholder chuckled.
"Happiness? The happiness of being in a cage?" Angelet shook his head slowly. "Have you not found any way to escape after all this time?"
"There is a way, but no one can do it." The Beholder chuckled twice, "I can provide this method to you for free. Anyway, there are many people who do it."
"What can we do?" Angelet listened attentively.
"Our power comes from the bloodline supported and bred by the power of the world. No matter what world we come from, it has now been contaminated and assimilated by the power of nightmare. And every time we assimilate the bloodline of other worlds, the nightmare world will become stronger. To
If you want to escape from the shackles of the nightmare, you will inevitably encounter counterattack from the entire nightmare world. If you can resist this power from the world itself, then you can escape from the nightmare world." The beholder paused and continued, "Also
It doesn’t have to be resistance. Hiding is also a good choice. Making the nightmare world unable to find you can also achieve the same goal. This is just the first step."
"The second step is to prevent yourself from being drained of your own power. Then you have to choose to seal your own power, or become a guardian of other worlds, or even continue to hunt and plunder souls. Of course, the best way is to sublimate.
Become a higher-level power existence." There was also a trace of desire in the eyes of the beholder, "Becoming a legendary cutting-edge existence is itself a huge source of power that can fight against the world. For example, the ancestor of Sera in the legendary world of chaos, itself
It is a huge source of water. After emerging from the world of chaos, the ancestor of Sera provided water sources for the five major worlds. It represents pure water that will never be exhausted."
"Is the Ancestor of Sera on the same level as the Ancestor of Light?" Angelet interjected and asked.
"Almost, now you know what to do, right?" After explaining everything, the beholder calmly looked at Angelet in front of him.
Angele's face calmed down, "Why don't you give up the power of this bloodline?"
"Can't give up, the power of nightmare will not allow the sealed person to escape. Just like a living thing cannot tolerate a part of its own body wanting to escape from itself. We have become one of the components of the world." The beholder explained casually.
"I understand it completely and I will confirm it."
"You have the blood of a scorpion woman and the instinct to travel through the world. Maybe you will become the third example of successful escape. Work hard and maybe you will gain something from the world of chaos." The eye demon slowly closed his eyes, but
Talk again.
Angelet narrowed his eyes: "Have two people successfully escaped? Can you tell me their names and experiences?"
With a move in his heart, he stretched out his hand and opened his palm. A ray of red light flew over and fell into the palm of his hand, turning into a red round orb.
"Thank you." Angelet turned around and disappeared into dark red flames.
The moment after Angele left, the beholder's eyes slowly opened.
"There is another hope that the scorpion sealer can successfully escape. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope this time."
***************************
After leaving the beholder, Angele went back to the cabin once. The woman in black had left and disappeared, leaving only a letter saying that she was traveling around.
Angelet didn't care either. For him now, the woman's role was minimal.
After simply tidying up the hut, a subordinate of the beholder came to report to him that there were humans coming in and out of his old villa. Without thinking much, Angele rushed directly in the direction of the previous villa.
It took five days to get back to the lake house.
The gorgeous villa with white walls has been covered with a large number of green vines and moss. The white stone path is covered with withered yellow leaves, the rusty iron fence gate is half open, and the remains of footprints can be seen faintly on the ground.
"Could it be that Fulia and Furla are back?" Angelet felt a little warm in his heart. He had been living with the two children for so many years, and he had long regarded them as his children.
The firm look on Furya's face when she left now clearly appeared in his mind, as well as Furya's innocent and cute little face.
Angelet put away his memories and slowly walked into the rust-red iron door.
squeak
The iron door made a harsh friction sound as it was pushed.
The villa was suddenly startled by a flock of fluttering birds. The white, black and red birds flew up from around the villa in panic and left in the distance. (To be continued.)
