White light flashed, and the figure of Perseus appeared in a room on the second floor of the cave. The four-color magic light belt of "Elemental Summoning" complemented the magic crystal shadow lamp, and Rikka seemed to have already fallen asleep.
There is nothing elegant about the sleeping appearance.
Perseus silently bowed to Boom who was in a state of cultivation, then tiptoed out of the room and walked to the first floor of the cave.
Now that he has completed his agreement with the blood cocoon, Perseus must abide by his duties and never give up his identity as a night watchman. However, after walking down a few steps of the stone platform, he sensed a familiar smell, which was goblin perfume.
The taste.
"I've seen Lady Christine, why didn't you rest tonight? You're not waiting for me, are you?" Perseus was wearing that brand new black robe, and his muscle curves looked even more terrifying under the candlelight.
.
He was surprised that Christine had not fallen asleep yet. He had to know that Christine was very strict about time. She would wake up at sunrise and would enter a state of rest within three hours after dinner.
"Hasta has consumed too much magic power, so I just let him rest for a few days. You won't like it if I stay with you during this period, right?"
As a mixed-blood elf, Christine seems to be born with a certain amount of charm. But only those who are familiar with her know that this mixed-blood elf has always been imprisoned in love, no matter how hard she tries to cover it up.
I can't erase the feeling of loss between my eyebrows.
"I heard from Hastur that you two like to eat late-night snacks on weekdays, so I cooked some vegetable porridge. Although the taste is a bit off, it is still very good."
"And I have one more thing. Can you transform into a hanging tree house tonight? I have something to say, and I don't want others to hear it, including Boom and Rikka."
As Christine spoke, she pointed to a dark area outside the cave. Upon hearing this, Perseus turned around and jumped out of the cave without any hesitation, and then transformed into a hanging tree house amid the instigation of gray magic. Although he didn't know why the other party waited until late at night tonight, Perseus trusted the other party very much, or that was all he could do for him.
The dark magic turned into a petal, and slowly floated out of the cave, holding Christine. Then she strolled into the Hanging Tree House. After confirming that Boom and Rikka were not aware of it, she brought out a
Small pot vegetable porridge.
This is a room completely made of twisted wood. A pair of gray pupils appear out of thin air on the wall, seeming to be waiting for Christine to ask. He is also very curious about what the other party is doing tonight, that he would choose to let Hastur
Fall into a deep sleep, and be careful to guard against the prying eyes of Boom and Rikka.
"No one can enter the dimensional space in Rikka's belly except for her, Boom, and you, right? Or is that little girl not telling the truth and not wanting me to step into it?"
Christine did not light the lamp on the wooden table, but hid herself in the darkness. Only a little moonlight could touch her fingertips.
"Perseus, although you are not my disciple, you have accepted many of my teachings. Therefore, if it were me, you would not deceive some important things, such as there is another living body!"
…
"I smell this feeling every time from Boom and Rikka after they return to the living world. As for you, the strange smell on your body is even stronger, so I decided to ask you."
"Of course, if you deny it, even I can't refute it. But if there are any consequences in my eyes, let alone Boom and Rikka, I will definitely be the first to take action, because I will never allow my journey to end.
Died young!"
Although Christine's words were a bit aggressive, the great dark mage did not exude a trace of magic power. It was rare for her to have her own companion, so naturally she would not take action against him.
However, her words silenced Perseus for a moment, and the gray pupils on the wall twitched violently, as if he was hesitating whether to tell the truth.
"Lady Christine, there is actually another life form in the dimensional space in the master's belly!"
"It is a giant cocoon more than half a meter high. Although it was condensed by the life force of the owner of Rikka, it now has independent consciousness."
"And the identity of the little master seems a little...somewhat different. In other words, I can't be sure whether it is an ancient ferocious beast, a relic, or some other mysterious existence!"
After thinking about it for a while, Perseus finally chose to tell the truth to Christine. Although it was very risky, he was unwilling to deceive his companions again, not to mention that he still had to guess the truth when the other party had guessed it.
In the case of eight.
The room fell into dead silence for an instant, with only a few fallen leaves falling in the moonlight, echoing Christine's heavy mood at the moment. A sigh suddenly sounded, and then Christine's face broke through the darkness, and her whole person looked a bit...
Tired, yet with a hint of relief.
"I've heard of that blood cocoon before, but I always thought it was just a dead thing made of the power of life. I didn't expect it to have autonomous consciousness."
"I didn't expect you to deceive Rikka, and even suppressed such an important matter until today. If I didn't ask, would you really let the other party grow up? Or did you originally hope that a tragedy would happen?" Christine returned to her usual appearance, and then waved her hand to light the candle. She has lived for more than four hundred years, so she can naturally tell whether the other person's words are true.
And if you think about it, even if you were in your own shoes, you would probably be as cautious as Perseus. Rikka is the master, and the things condensed by the master's life force are naturally equivalent to the existence of the master.
"Lady Christine, should I tell the truth to the master now, or should I go to the dimensional space to fight to the death with that blood cocoon!"
As Perseus's voice sounded, the entire Hanging Tree tree house began to tremble slightly, as if he was very excited.
If Perseus was hesitant before about whether his decision was correct, now after hearing Christine's conclusion, he felt that he was a complete idiot, so idiotic that he had been troubled by an egg for many years.
"It's better not to tell that little girl Rikka yet. After all, that blood cocoon is in the dimensional space, and it might burst out when it's in a desperate situation, thus hurting Rikka."
"Leave this matter to me. From now on, if you don't have to, don't enter the dimensional space again. At least you can't have any contact with the other party until the matter is resolved perfectly."
After saying this, Christine stood up and walked out of the Hanging Tree tree house, and then Perseus returned to his human form and followed her. After returning to the first floor of the cave, Perseus happily sucked up the small pot of vegetable porridge.
Christine seemed to have made some decision, and slowly touched her right hand to the poison bead necklace around his neck.
"Lady Christine, how should I face that blood cocoon in the future?" Perseus raised his head and drank the vegetable porridge, and then asked angrily.
"Just treat it as another Rikka, treat it as Rikka's sister, treat it as your other master!" Christine replied with a smile after hearing this, and then sat with her in the cave.
layer, silently waiting for the companions to wake up.
Perseus is very happy to be able to share his secret with others tonight, otherwise he will definitely become more and more depressed, and it may lead to some irreversible tragedy.
However, Christine's brows are getting tighter and tighter. As a peak powerhouse, she naturally feels the unknown pressure. It would be best if this matter can be solved smoothly, otherwise there may be blood rain in the dimensional space.
The fishy wind and even Rikka will be seriously injured or consume more life force because of this. ..
