After a long silence, Mento finally retracted the worm on his chin and spoke.
"The first is 'abominable', the second is 'attractive', and the third is 'rebellious'." Mento was still, and for the first time, the simple and thick voice did not lengthen.
Unlike Yingying's previous choice of light ball, at this moment, Li Yue had nothing in front of him except a chin covered with worms. He could only perceive these three words, and it was difficult to understand their function.
"Tell me a few more words?" Li Yue asked tentatively, without any ill intentions.
"Abominable is abominable. Most creatures within the blessing period will hate you..."
"Attention, you will be stared at beyond the horizon..."
"Rebellion means that things around you...most of the time...will go against your wishes."
Mento suppressed the light in his eyes, and his eyes were only dark.
?
Li Yue's head was filled with questions again - is this a blessing? Is it really not a curse?
Or is this indeed a blessing for certain types of demons?
Li Yue subconsciously felt that the first type of "abomination" seemed to be very suitable for the devil's illustrated book. It was inevitable that some of the most powerful trump cards would be seen through. Combined with the latter two blessings, he felt more and more that the devil mentor in front of him was not simple.
However, Li Yue did not intend to suffer further malice in Castlevania - there was already enough hatred in the environment, but a brain spirit that was not strong enough... it would be difficult to survive in this state.
So Li Yue asked weakly: "Can you change a batch?"
Mento's eyes flashed with stars.
"The first is 'concealing', the second is 'absorbing', and the third is 'completing'." The heavy feeling in Mento's voice disappeared a little, replaced by the original feeling of splitting headache.
Li Yue didn't answer, nor did he raise his head too high, he just looked at Mento.
"Hidden. During the blessing period, you will have three opportunities to temporarily hide your existence..."
"Absorbing will make it easier for you to absorb magic and knowledge..."
"After completing it, you will involuntarily make up for some of the missing details on your own."
Mento's voice became farther and farther away, and the worm on his chin shook violently.
Li Yue suddenly discovered that in addition to the life-saving concealment, the second batch of blessings also had the advantage of "absorbing" that seemed to be tailor-made for closed combat training. He couldn't help but think about it again - the two directions given by Mento
, one is reckless and the other is cowardly?
The most frightening thing is that these seem to be the two directions of my future development?
Li Yue raised his head and glanced at Mento. The worm on Mento's chin stopped again, as if he didn't intend to give any more options.
Without thinking too much, it is obvious that the content of the second batch of blessings is more suitable for Li Yue. The only question is which one to choose - "Concealment" can hide the existence, which is undoubtedly a powerful life-saving skill; "Absorb" is more suitable for the current situation and is closed.
Both Battle Training and Ultimate Magic Stones require better absorption capabilities...
As for the final "complete", although it is difficult to infer what the details are missing, it can at least help Li Yue improve the success rate of disguising other monsters?
After thinking for a moment, Li Yue found it difficult to find a balance among the last three blessings. He couldn't help but feel a little entangled, and then couldn't help but ask.
"Can I... want them all?"
Li Yue also felt that he was going a little too far, but no malicious prompts popped up, so he could get more benefits and test Mento's bottom line more deeply.
"Okay." Mento agreed without hesitation, then spread his fingers slightly and suddenly fixed Li Yue in place.
agreed?
And such good things?
In the future, not only can you hide your existence at will, but you can also continue to use it to absorb magic power and knowledge, and you can also automatically "fill in" to help you check for deficiencies?
These three kinds of blessings are simply too practical...
Li Yue only had time to flash a thought, and then he felt like he was falling into an abyss. Countless chants sounded around him, turning into six thin lines that were cold and sticky to the touch, deeply wrapping every crevice in his brain...
Wait a moment!
How come... six?
The thin threads tightened, and they were vaguely condensed into 6 cards, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. After a while, Li Yue returned to the place where he was, and found that something was different about himself, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"Abominable, attention-grabbing, rebellious...the above three blessings will take effect irregularly, I wish you good luck..." The worms on both sides of Mento's chin rose up one after another, like the corners of a split mouth.
Li Yue was stunned - why... there are three kinds of hateful, attention-grabbing and rebellious?
These three kinds of blessings are basically equivalent to negative effects for me. If they take effect irregularly, wouldn't it be shocking every step of the way?
What if you were first noticed by some scary guy beyond visual range, and then converted into a "hateful" effect, wouldn't you die inexplicably?
"Wait a minute, what I said is..." Li Yue recalled what he had just said and realized that he indeed said "I want them all."
But... this Demon King mentor... is he playing word games with himself?
All fools know that they should choose the last three, right? But this old thief imposed the first three on himself?
"Remember... don't bargain with the devil." Mento seemed to have seen through Li Yue's thoughts and said lightly, "Greedy expectations will lead to results beyond imagination."
But Li Yue froze on the spot, panicked and still frightened - what on earth does this old guy... want?
The matter has come to this, and it is useless to complain anymore - Li Yue looked at Mento for a moment and found that he could no longer negotiate with him, so he had to think about the six kinds of "blessing" logic, hoping to find a way out.
"Will it take effect at the same time?" Li Yue was extremely concerned about this point.
"Maybe." The worm swung back and forth, and Li Yue couldn't understand Mento's emotions.
Li Yue raised his head and glanced at Mento, silently sensing the difference in himself, anticipating the worst situation he might encounter - rebellion and attention taking effect at the same time, and then turning into hateful things. By then, maybe Minnie Minnie around him...
Slap yourself to death?
Or was he really targeted by some ancient being in the Demon King's City, and then died after just one look?
There was no malicious intent on Mentuo from beginning to end, but the six blessings suddenly caused a real crisis for Li Yue.
Could it be that...are you really teaching yourself a lesson?
But the price of this course is too high.
Fortunately, hiding, absorbing and completing things were of great help to Li Yue, which at least also provided some possibility of survival - with "complementing", in addition to the usual disguise being more difficult to expose, the details of the action will also be revealed subconsciously.
To make up for it, as long as you avoid the "abominable" effect, you can avoid the danger to the greatest extent.
Even if you encounter danger, you can escape by "hiding"...
Although there were not many times, Li Yue seemed to have discovered a fog in his mind, which could be triggered by a slight approach, covering up his own existence.
And "absorb" is more suitable for the current situation - the magic power of the Ultimate Magic Stone is being absorbed at a perceptible speed, and a lot of... knowledge has been accumulated in the closed combat training classroom.
This knowledge, plus those in the library, will become the basis for Li Yue to become stronger.
Danger and opportunity coexist, just like the normal situation in Demon King's City.
At the same time, through this test of Mento, Li Yue finally grasped the attitude of the Demon King's mentor and the abilities he displayed.
First of all, what is certain is that no matter whether Mento discovers that Li Yue's soul comes from the earth, he does not want him to die; secondly, Mento's abilities are unfathomable, and the "blessings" he shows casually surpass Li Yue's.
Yue's understanding of power makes him undoubtedly a demon king-level demon.
What Li Yue couldn't be sure of was that Mento should have noticed the identity of his own brain spirit, and also discovered the transformation ability of different ordinary brain spirits, but... did he know that there was a "Devil's Illustrated Book"?
The first blessing named "Abominable"... made Li Yue doubt it to a certain extent.
But as Mento said, he was just an inconspicuous drop of water in the depths of this sea of deformity. Combined with Mento's own attitude, Li Yue felt that the problem was not big.
"This class... has something." Li Yue finished his thoughts and had no choice but to accept the status quo.
Mento didn't seem to expect that Li Yue would calm down so quickly. The swaying waves of the worm paused for a moment, but soon disappeared, just like an illusion.
"Let's go." Li Yue was afraid that if he accidentally entered the "abominable" state, the Demon King would kill him at a glance.
"My blessing cannot affect me..." Mento seemed to see through Li Yue's mood, tilting his head slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a little monster that had just been released.
The next second, with a thought in Mento's mind, the wax figure of the castle next to him suddenly ignited. As the flames flickered out, he took Li Yue out of the empty stone room and came to the entertainment room where the battle training was closed.
[Malicious +361+422+766...]
Malice came to welcome the brain spirit - Li Yue was not sure whether he was in the "abominable" state at the moment, but he was sure that there were at least three "classmates" waiting to settle accounts with him.
