Li Yue's brain tightened, and an idea came to his mind - for some reason that Li Yue couldn't understand, it was obvious that the Demon King Mentor Mento noticed some of Li Yue's characteristics, so he never called him "Skolrick"
, additional inquiries will also be made before blessing.
What Li Yue didn't know was just what step Mento had seen through - was it to confirm that he was not Skorrick? Or was he aware that his body was a brain spirit? He even realized that his soul... was not from this world?
After recalling his performance on the battlefield, Li Yue found that except for using his "transformation" and soul impact abilities at the last moment, he was quite satisfactory at other times, basically maintaining the normal performance of a skeleton soldier, at most details.
Used a little bit of telekinesis...
Mainly due to the effect of "Devil's Inspiration", Li Yue was unable to do it perfectly, and often had to choose to go all out.
So, in his inner anxiety, Li Yue heard Mento's "inquiry".
"Why... don't you go deeper?" Mento's question left Li Yue confused.
Deep? Who?
Li Yue thought that Mento wanted to ask him if he was a brain spirit, why he got into the closed combat training, where was the real Skorric, and whether you killed him...
As a result, I asked a question I didn’t know what it was referring to?
Li Yue's bone hand had almost healed on its own, so he raised it up and scratched the seam between the bones; Yingying was originally picking out demonic relics, but when he heard Mento's question, he was also attracted to it. He kept squirming, as if he was thinking together.
Li Yue was confused, but Mento was patient.
"Your tactic... is to carry the bone mage to the place with the heaviest casualties on the battlefield, or the place most prone to flooding, and then resurrect the dead corpses and bones to the greatest extent possible, turning the lost combat power of mankind into the combat power of the expeditionary force.
…”
"Then when the outer city wall was breached by siege beasts, why... didn't you just go deep into the inner city, but still fight at the top of the city?"
"For you at that time, the churches, cellars, and houses in the inner city were almost inexhaustible recruiting points..."
"You even thought of... dividing your troops and summoning them to the cemetery in the inner city..."
"Then why don't you go deeper?"
In an instant, Li Yue's head trembled and he found his blind spot in thinking.
From Li Yue's point of view, he wanted to use the dead bones in the cemetery to add color to the sea of skeletons, but he did not consider killing civilians and turning them into skeletons...
This is Li Yue's instinct, and it is also Mento's doubt. It is also vaguely the most important answer at the moment.
In front of him was the Demon King Mentor. He did not ask Li Yue about the whereabouts of the Skeleton Prince, nor did he ask about Li Yue's identity. Instead, he asked about a thought he had on the battlefield.
Li Yue's mind was racing and he finally grasped the key to Mento's problem.
What the Demon King Mentor is asking is - are you a demon?
Killing the Demon Wolf Prince Finley through internal strife is an act by the devil, not following Bosh's orders is an act by the devil, "coaxing" Shadow to Follow is an act by the devil, taking advantage of human weakness to attack the commander is an act by the devil...
Only that choice was not like a devil.
"I..." His mind raced, and Li Yue came up with several answers in his mind.
Bosh's demonic inspiration was too strong. As a member of the expeditionary force, he subconsciously cooperated in the battle? According to the plan, the bone mage who went to the cemetery started to kill civilians after resurrecting the dead in the cemetery, but was stopped by the defenders.
?The commander is the target that needs to be eliminated most urgently, and he should seize the peak of the Skeleton Sea to launch a surprise attack?
"I..." Li Yue made a long sound to buy himself time.
"I understand." Li Yue was about to speak, but Mento suddenly withdrew his question.
?
Yingying put up a big question mark, and Li Yue became even more panicked - has this old man got the answer? Just like himself who has mastered the devil's illustrated book, as long as he asks the right questions, he can get the information he wants.
?
Li Yue couldn't help but use his mind to analyze the Demon King's mentor, and found that the analysis speed was almost the same as the analysis of the Demon King himself. No matter how long he focused, it was only a pitiful 0.1%.
Fortunately, there was no malicious pop-up. Although Li Yue was worried, he had not yet taken the step of fear.
"Have you made your choice?" Mento turned to Yingying expressionlessly and asked about his choice.
Meanwhile, Li Yue was still immersed in everything that had just happened, completely confused as to what Mento had determined and how he would deal with him in the future.
"I choose this! Weird Puzzle!" Yingying has never been an easily entangled personality. When Mento asked him back, he immediately formed an arrow and pointed at the rightmost one among the three fuzzy balls of light.
Selecting trophies... Li Yue was certainly interested. Seeing that Mento didn't ask any more questions, he couldn't help but turn his attention there.
The ball of light chosen by Yingying is layered on top of each other, and each layer has several humanoid figures that are perfectly spliced together to wrap it up... But the "humanoid" shapes are weird, some have dog heads and huge mouths, and some have only one lower body.
The thighs are connected abruptly, and some even have no heads, with facial features embedded in the chest, eyes closed, and snoring.
The strange thing is that no matter how weird the human skin looks and how irregular the weapons in the hands are, they can be put together perfectly, which is like a "jigsaw puzzle".
The other two light balls were not pointed by Yingying, so they were still blurry and unclear. As long as Li Yue used his mind to probe them a little, he would feel an unspeakable sting and be forced to retract.
"Are you sure?" Mento asked without any emotion.
"I'm sure!" Yingying laid out a large paragraph of text, which was the key information of the weird puzzle. "The weird puzzle is a demonic relic of the "weird" family. It consumes the owner's magic power to summon several weird people to explore and fight. It is very suitable.
I……"
Shadows move by relying on shadows, so if there are several controllable puppets, the way of movement will be more varied.
"Different weirdos have different abilities, personalities and shapes, so you must put them together after using them, otherwise they will cause riots and backfire on their owners with dirty words, temptations, food offerings, etc..." Yingying also fully realized
Understanding the negative effects of weird puzzles, "I can forcefully join together by twisting and killing, eliminating the possibility of riots..."
"So it suits me very well, that's it!" Yingying's handwriting jumped with joy, and she couldn't wait to pounce on it for fusion.
Li Yue didn't know how powerful the weirdo in the "Weird Puzzle" was, but seeing Yingying's happy look, he guessed that it was a very useful demonic relic. He couldn't help but look forward to his "blessing" - the reward ratio for first place.
Is it common sense that second place is better?
"Okay..." Mento waved his hand, and the other two light balls disappeared, handing the weird puzzle piece to Yingying.
Yingying seemed to want to put out some writing, but was wrapped up in the river of blood hidden in the cracks in the wall and thrown out of this space.
"You, I will bless you." Mentuo turned to Li Yue, and there were only two of them left in the field.
"Teacher..." Li Yue could no longer bear this brain-twitching atmosphere, "Do you have anything... you want to say to me?"
It's as if you know that the other party has seen through your identity, but you haven't revealed it for a long time, waiting for you to continue to act awkwardly... Instead of doing this, Li Yue thinks it is better to exchange information within a certain range to determine what the Demon King Mentor is thinking.
.
Upon hearing Li Yue's inquiry, the worms on Mento's chin froze for an instant, and then gradually extended toward the gap in Li Yue's skull, like a dense mass of nematodes embracing their home.
"You...want to die?" Mento asked.
The worms caressed Li Yue's skull, extending a tingling feeling in Li Yue's brain.
"I don't want to." Li Yue shook his head firmly.
"Then... don't ask..."
"This is the Demon King's City. You are just an inconspicuous little drop of water in the depths of this sea of deformity... No one cares about your origins, and no one cares about your whereabouts..." Mento looked up, and Li Yue also
Finally felt his eyes.
It was a look that was restrained and at the same time released a trace of expectation. The pupils were as dark as stars in the sky, and seemed to have flickering lights.
Li Yuesheng had a feeling that his life was in the hands of the other party, and at the same time he had a hint of intuition - it seemed that for some reason, Mento was very interested in him.
There is no answer, but it is also an answer - Mento has no ill intentions towards him for the time being.
Li Yue did not dodge Mentuo's eyes and suddenly raised his head: "Then...please bless me."
No matter what fate the future holds, Li Yue knows that all he can do is become stronger.
"..." Mentuo was silent for a moment and opened his palm to Li Yue, but he seemed to have not yet decided what kind of "blessing" he would like to perform.
"Wait a minute." Li Yue suddenly raised his hand, "What kind of blessings are there? Can you let me choose?"
