Yes, how should I repay the favor of saving my life?
Lan Ling was speechless. He couldn't say that he owed money first and would pay it back a hundred times later. That would be too hypocritical.
The girl in black continued: "And I don't need money or anything. What I want is for the Sox family's legacy to continue to be passed down."
Lan Ling said: "If I don't promise you, will the foundation of the Suo family be destroyed?"
"Yes." The girl in black said: "Young Master Sauron is the only heir. The royal family has been eyeing the territory of Tianshui City for many years. They always want to take back the royal family and change it to direct rule by counties. After Young Master Sauron dies, Tianshui City
Without a successor, the royal family will have enough reason to take back the territory of Tianshui City."
Suddenly, Lanling fell silent.
The girl in black said: "If you agree to me, you will not only repay my life-saving grace, but also save a family that has been passed down for two hundred years."
Lan Ling said: "I really want to repay your life-saving grace, but I really want to be myself."
The girl in black said: "How about three years? You only need to pretend to be Young Master Sauron for three years and help the Solan family survive this crisis. After three years, you can be yourself as long as you want."
…
After a full quarter of an hour, Lan Ling nodded with difficulty and said: "Okay, I promise you, I will pretend to be Sauron for three years, just three years!"
"It's a deal." The girl in black breathed a long sigh of relief.
The twin sister next to her seemed to want to say something, but she stopped her with cold eyes.
"My name is Ye Jingyu, and my sister's name is Ye Jingfeng. After you recover, we will take you to a place to have your face changed immediately," said the girl in black, Ye Jingyu.
"Change faces?" Lan Ling was startled when he heard this word.
"Don't worry, there won't be any danger. You can get it back in the future." Ye Jingyu said, "You have a good rest, and we will continue on our way to find a place to stay."
After saying that, Ye Jingyu pulled his sister out of the carriage and continued to urge the horse to move forward.
"Sister, the lady has not agreed to this matter, how can you make the decision privately?" my younger sister Ye Jingfeng whispered.
Ye Jingyu said: "Miss will agree. I am doing this for her and the Suo family."
…
In the next few days, Lan Ling was recovering from his injuries in the carriage, and Ye Jingyu took him to a mysterious warlock to have his face changed.
Now his health is really unbelievable. He was rescued from the brink of death not long ago and fully recovered just a few days later. I really don't know what this mysterious energy in his body is.
The three of them kept marching for five days and more than a thousand miles. Along the way, there were few people and the place became more and more remote and deep.
On this day, the three of them finally arrived at their destination, the castle manor of a certain mysterious warlock.
This manor is located in the middle of a deserted mountain. I really don’t know how it was built.
Although this manor is not big, it is beautiful.
The castle is entirely black, but the garden is very bright, giving it a strange contrast.
It seems that this warlock is very rich. This place is deep in the mountains and there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles around. This warlock actually built a manor here.
Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingfeng dismounted, Lan Ling got out of the carriage, and the three of them walked into the manor.
The entire manor was deserted, like a ghost town. But the trees in the garden were neatly planted.
And after entering the castle, Lan Ling clearly felt that the temperature had dropped several degrees.
Everywhere inside the castle is decorated with gorgeous decorations, but the lights are very dim. This gorgeous and depressing atmosphere makes Lan Ling feel like a vampire castle in a deep horror game.
There was still no one inside the castle, but every piece of furniture and every inch of carpet was spotless.
Although Ye Jingfeng is very skilled in martial arts, he is timid and is not used to the atmosphere here. He secretly wants to hold his sister's hand. She has never been here before.
Ye Jingyu led the two of them up the stairs, up to who knows how many floors, and finally reached the top floor of the castle.
There was a door in front of him. The black door was covered with gold. Ye Jingyu went up and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. It was as if a gust of wind blew by and the door was opened.
The scene behind the door shocked Lan Ling to the core.
The entire castle was luxurious and exquisite, but the room on the top floor was completely like hell. At first glance, Lan Ling saw countless heads, eyes, severed limbs, and liquids of various colors.
The air was filled with smoke and a strange smell.
Moreover, these severed heads include humans and various creatures, and some of the severed heads can even move their eyes.
This is a laboratory. Behind a huge desk, there is a skinny man sitting. He is wearing a big black robe and a pointed hat. At first glance, it seems that there is no one in the robe, only a wooden frame. This man is really too
He has become thinner, and his stretched out hands are long and pointed, like branches.
This should be the owner of this manor, a certain mysterious warlock.
"What's the matter?" the warlock asked, his voice was like dead wood, and he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.
"Change faces." Ye Jingyu said.
…
"The two people must look very similar and their facial bones must be almost the same before they can be replaced," the warlock said.
"Very similar." Ye Jingyu said, then opened the coffin.
As if a gust of wind had blown by, the skinny, ghostly warlock instantly appeared in front of Lan Ling, and only then did Lan Ling see her face under the black cloak.
This is a woman who is too old to tell her age, and her face is so thin that only a piece of skin is left. The reason why she can tell that she is a woman is because her lips are very brightly painted. Moreover, she is
He is blind, and his eye sockets are hollow, like dry wells.
She stretched out her chicken claw-like hands and touched Lan Ling's face. Suddenly, the hairs all over his body stood up, as if he had been touched by a ghost.
She touched it very carefully, as if every millimeter was missed. Then, she touched the face of Sauron's corpse in the coffin.
A quarter of an hour later, she said: "It can be exchanged for one thousand gold coins."
Lan Ling didn't understand the economy of this world and didn't know whether a thousand gold coins was too much or too little, but his sister Ye Jingfeng whispered.
Ye Jingyu said: "We don't have so many gold coins with us, can we exchange them first and pay for the insufficient gold coins in a month?"
"No." The warlock said.
Lan Ling said: "Then you can go back and get the money first, and then come back to change your face."
Ye Jingyu shook his head and said, "It's too late."
The warlock said: "Either you change it now, or you will never change it again in the future."
Ye Jingyu said: "But we really didn't bring that many gold coins."
The warlock said: "How many do you have?"
Ye Jingyu said: "I only brought ninety-eight."
There was really a huge gap between ninety-eight and one thousand. Moreover, the warlock seemed to have no room for negotiation. For a moment, Lan Ling didn't know whether to feel lucky or feel disappointed for the two sisters.
Ye Jingyu said: "Isn't there any way? Changing faces is really important to us."
"That has nothing to do with me, I just want money." The mysterious magician said.
Lan Ling finally understood why her manor was so gorgeous and luxurious. She was really rich.
"There is another way." The mysterious warlock suddenly said.
Ye Jingyu said happily: "You tell me."
The mysterious warlock pointed at his sister Ye Jingfeng and said: "I like her very much. If she stays with me for three years, I will give you the 902 gold coins that you don't have enough."
As soon as these words came out, Lan Ling and Ye Jingyu almost said in unison: "No."
After these few days of contact, Lan Ling likes Ye Jingfeng very much. Her martial arts skills are higher than those of her sister, but she is very naive and romantic, and very timid. She has always been followed by her sister.
As for Ye Jingyu, her sister has been inseparable from her since childhood, just like Siamese twins. Although her sister's martial arts skills are higher than hers, she has always taken care of and protected her.
To separate her from her sister for three years was really like cutting them open alive. Not to mention putting her sister in this terrible castle. She couldn't accept it at all. Ye Jingfeng was so naive and timid.
"If you don't agree, just leave." The mysterious warlock said coldly.
For a moment, Ye Jingyu stood there, not knowing where to go, but Lan Ling was extremely unwilling.
"Okay, I promise you." Ye Jingfeng suddenly stood up and said firmly.
"Sister." Ye Jingyu exclaimed.
Ye Jingfeng said: "Sister, our master raised us, and she regards us as biological sisters. I can't watch my family being destroyed like this. In order to continue the family legacy, my small sacrifice is nothing.
.”
Ye Jingyu's eyes turned red and he said, "Can you really do this? You have never left my side."
"How will you know if you don't try." Ye Jingfeng said: "Sister takes good care of me, and now I am just like a child."
Ye Jingyu closed his eyes sadly, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and said, "Okay, I agreed. I will let my sister stay with you here for three years. You won't let her do some terrible things, right?"
"
"Of course..." The mysterious warlock chuckled, and then said: "Okay, I'm going to make a face, you can avoid it."
The mysterious sorcerer opened a box and took out a living creature from it. This living creature was completely transparent, like a ball of water. After being taken out, it screamed in fear. It turned out to be that this living creature was used to
Make a face?
There was only so much to see, and then Ye Jingyu and the others exited the laboratory.
…
In just two hours, the door to the laboratory slowly opened.
Lan Ling saw Sauron's body at first glance. It was completely unsightly. Not only was the entire face gone, but the skin on the entire body had also disappeared.
And there is an extra mask on the stand of the table.
It's completely different from what Lan Ling imagined. This is not a human skin mask, but a thin layer of semi-liquid crystal, about two to three millimeters thick, with the outline of a human face, but completely transparent and still flowing continuously.
As if there is life.
"Lie down and change your face," the warlock said.
