As Bernadette rubbed it, the wick of the "wishing magic lamp" that was only the size of a kettle began to burn silently, but the light emitted by the wick did not spit out like viscous water as usual, gathering into the self-proclaimed
"Eternal" Djinn.
Those rays of light were tightly locked by an extremely complex and mysterious three-dimensional symbol at the wick, a bird with abnormally long feathers, or a feathered serpent with its body coiled up, causing the light to be dyed with a touch of dark green.
Bernadette nodded slightly, she had expected this result. Although the djinn had powerful abilities, the "Pale Death" was after all created with the characteristics of the Sequence 1 "Pale Emperor", plus the magic lamp
It is extremely difficult for the Djinn to come out due to its own sealing effect.
But this does not mean that the seal of "Pale Death" can last forever, unless Bernadette can give up this mask completely, but that means that she will lose two "0" level sealed objects.
The Dawn of Elements can compete with the Moss Ascetic Order that was born in the early Fourth Age. In addition to Bernadette herself being a Sequence 3 saint, the three "0" level sealed objects are the most important power.
The rank gap between angels and saints cannot be bridged by powerful and dreamy fairy tale magic, not to mention that the "Hidden Sage" himself stands at the top of the "Hermit" path.
But if the djinn is completely out of control, then Bernadette can only give up, temporarily seal it, and hand it over to the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom for sealing.
This is a last resort choice. As long as the djinn can communicate, Bernadette will not choose this path. As a high-sequence extraordinary person of the "hermit" path, pursuing knowledge has become her instinct.
She also wanted to know the reason why the djinn suddenly lost control.
Last night, Bernadette and Alicia didn't talk for very long, and their understanding of Alicia was only at a very shallow level. Although it was confirmed that Alicia and Intis had a bad relationship,
She didn't see anything about Alicia that could attract the djinn.
The wick of the magic lamp, which was only the size of a kettle, was burning slowly. The strange creature that was a fusion of a bird with abnormally long feathers and a coiled serpent suddenly seemed to be caught in a loophole, collapsed and shattered in an instant... a light as thick as grease.
Emitted from the wick, a blurry and twisted pale golden figure was formed.
The pale golden figure did not look at Bernadette who summoned him. He immediately looked at the top of his head, the slowly rotating silver snake hidden by the starlight. His gaze passed through the starlight barrier,
Confronting the bright red and cold eyes of the giant snake connected end to end:
"The Wheel of Fortune...Oh, it turns out to be that card."
Just by looking at each other, the Djinn discovered the specialness of the "Snake of Destiny". He borrowed the knowledge recorded in the cards and turned it into the actual "Snake of Mercury". However, the person who used the ability did not become a real angel, even with the help of it.
Russell's power contained in the cards could only barely reach the angel level.
Do I want to use the "restart" ability of "Snake of Destiny" to return to the state where I was sealed in the magic lamp?
The Djinn retracted his gaze and looked at Bernadette who was holding the "Pale Death" and the "Sage's Forelock". His voice was unusually magnificent:
"Say your second wish."
Bernadette's lips were tightly closed and she did not speak. She had not yet reached the level of an angel, but was only a demigod. The djinn could interpret any of her words as the fulfillment of her wish and distort it.
However, judging from the current state of the Djinn, he has obviously returned to normal, and may even be expecting Bernadette to ask him the reason and fulfill her second wish.
"Haha, are you really his daughter?" The lamp god looked at Bernadette, whose expression changed instantly, and his laughter echoed in this independent space, "Your father is not only cunning, but also bold, and you did not inherit these good qualities.
quality……"
Bernadette's hand holding the "Sage's Forelock" gradually tightened, and the veins on the back of her fair hand were extremely obvious. Her body gradually became blurred, as if it had become a flow of information.
The "Sage's Forelock" can make the user's body become virtual, break it down into streams of complex knowledge, and become a pure information flow creature.
But Bernadette, who has not yet worn the "Sage's Forelock", cleverly uses this ability to maintain a balance between the two states to avoid being bewitched by the djinn's words.
Although you are different from those in the Moss Ascetic Order, adhering to the motto of 'Do whatever you want, but do no harm', the instinct to pursue knowledge has been engraved in the depths of your soul. You choose to accept the knowledge of the 'Hidden Sage'
Indoctrination, is it to pursue Russell’s traces, or to pursue knowledge..."
The lantern god scanned this strange and unique space and made a sound of "admiration":
"On the one hand, you want to find out why the seal of the magic lamp went out of control before, and on the other hand, you are worried that my loss of control will cause great harm, so you used the 'blasphemy card' made by Russell to create a false 'Mercury Line'"
Snake' also created this space that was isolated from the outside world, and used the seal created by the mask to block the only exit.
Do you really think that these little tricks of yours can suppress me? Or do you think that the seal of the magic lamp can help you? I take back what I said before, you are as bold as your father, but you only pursue knowledge..."
The djinn's voice was no longer magnificent, but every word penetrated into Bernadette's ears that had not yet become a stream of information, making her hold on the "Sage's forehead ornament" loose and tight.
"Although you hate your father, you have always believed in his words and refused to communicate with me. But what if you can get news about your father by communicating with me? Or you can make a wish to resurrect Russell and see the returned Russell.
Is Serge the tall father you respected and loved when you were a child, or is he the dictator, careerist, Julius Caesar, Russell Gustave you hate!"
The "Wishing Magic Lamp" has been in Russell's hands for more than ten years, and Bernadette has also held the magic lamp for more than a hundred years. Although he has not communicated with the genie, he has always been inside the magic lamp, but it does not mean that he has no understanding of the outside world.
He knew very well where Bernadette's weakness was, and every word struck it hard.
"I know that you have always had this idea, but the motto of 'Do whatever you want, but do no harm' has been restraining you. You are worried that it is not your father who returns from the resurrection, but a monster, and you are worried that the monster will cause harm to the world.
harm……
You can hate Russell and abandon him because of his crazy and radical behavior. Of course, you don't want to resurrect a monster that will cause harm to the world. But after more than a hundred years, you begin to try to understand your father.
, making excuses for your father’s behavior... Your own persistence conflicts with your complex emotions for Russell, and you don’t know how to make a choice!"
"You have received knowledge infusion from the 'Hidden Sage' before, and you know that your father is trying to become a true god, and may be trying to attack the 'Black Emperor' that conflicts with his own path. On the one hand, this really suits him, his identity, and his past experiences.
His experience means that he is naturally suitable for this path. But this also has my influence, it is I who convinced him that becoming the 'Black Emperor' can fulfill his wish."
Bernadette's tense face twitched slightly, her lips became a slit, and the hand holding the "Sage's forehead ornament" relaxed a little. After hundreds of years of investigation, she had received the knowledge instillation from the "Hidden Sage",
She has enough understanding of her father's final choice,
The Djinn looked at Bernadette's little movements, and his words were full of temptation and continued:
"You want to know why? Because I have a special relationship with the 'Black Emperor', I promised Russell to help him become the 'Black Emperor'. He helped me out, but unfortunately he failed, but the specialness of the 'Black Emperor' is
There, he still has the possibility of resurrection.
As long as you hand me over to that 'law mage', I can not only make your wish come true without any distortion, but also bring Russell back to life.
Simply making a wish cannot resurrect your father, that is beyond my ability, but after I get out of trouble, I can rely on my special relationship with the 'Black Emperor' to help your father resurrect."
Bernadette's blue eyes suddenly brightened, and her fingers quickly rubbed the surface of the magic lamp that was covered with mysterious symbols.
"Ah! You are as cunning as Russell!"
The lantern god with a pale golden figure saw Bernadette's actions and knew that he had been deceived. He had been deceived by Russell's daughter who had deceived him. He left only one sentence and reluctantly returned to the inside of the magic lantern.
Letting the "Wishing Magic Lamp" float in the air, a hint of complexity flashed across Bernadette's face, and she murmured:
"You don't know him. If that is his last choice, he will not ask for help from anyone. Because he is the emperor! It is Caesar! It is Russell Gustave!"
After regaining her composure, Bernadette looked at the magic lamp floating in the air. From the words of the lamp god, she confirmed her guess. Her father did not completely die, but was just not resurrected as he expected.
The Eternal Sun Church and the Steam Church teamed up to find the eight tombs he secretly built and destroyed them one by one. However, the ninth one was never found. If he had become the 'Black Emperor', then he would definitely be able to
If you wake up in this mausoleum and fail, you may be able to revive yourself.
There is also Alicia, a Sequence 4 "Law Mage". There is indeed a secret in her body, and there is a secret that can help the djinn escape from trouble.
Bernadette let the "Sage's forehead ornament" in her hand also float in the air, stretched out her hand to grab it in the air, and the silver giant snake connected end to end collapsed into a ball. The illusory information melted into the "Wheel of Fortune" card, and the card fell.
fell into her left hand.
Bernadette raised her right hand. Her skin suddenly became as white as snow, her lips became as red as blood, and her hair became as black as ebony. There was an illusory, ancient mirror in her hand.
This is the "Snow White" in fairy tale magic. Bernadette uses it to improve the success rate and accuracy of her "prophecy". Coupled with the "Wheel of Fortune" card, her "Master of Prophecy" ability is maximized.
of improvement.
Her blue eyes, which were like the sea, suddenly became extremely deep, resembling the surface of the sea before a storm. Under such circumstances, she obviously lost focus and her eyes were blurry.
She is trying to pry into fate, and wants to know what secrets Alicia has that can attract the djinn.
Silently, she "saw" a scene:
It was a huge palace located in a valley. It was pure black in color and paved with huge dark black stone slabs. The main hall was supported by huge black stone pillars with hewn patterns on them.
From the high dome of the main hall, metal rods hang down one after another - their bottom ends are connected to candlesticks carved into different creatures, left 40 and right 39.
The black and heavy door was open, and only the hewn patterned stone slabs on the ground could be seen, and further inside, it was shrouded in black.
There is an altar not far from the main hall. There is a group of people prostrate in front of the altar. They are all very weird. Everyone seems to be making themselves asymmetrical. They wear clothes with different decorative styles in black and white on the left and right, and the shoes on the left and right feet are the same.
Only the front end is pointed and raised, and the other one is similar to a round-toed boot.
Men wear pointed hats with asymmetrical colors and patterns. Half of women's hair is let down freely, and the other half is styled into various braids, or both sides have different hairstyles.
Sitting in front of the altar were several children, all of whom were only seven or eight years old. Bernadette turned her attention to one of the little girls. She had black hair and gray eyes, and an expressionless face like a wax figure. Although she was extremely cute, she revealed a lot of secrets.
Weird. She wore a long skirt that was divided into two parts. One side was complicated, the other side was simple, and the other side contained a variety of colors, while the other side was pure black.
She is Alicia, Alicia who is only seven or eight years old.
Everyone remained still, as if frozen.
A wisp of pale white, illusory mist poured out from the heavy black door opposite the main hall, staying above the altar. After hesitating for a moment, he lifted Alicia and brought her into the black main hall. The heavy black door silently
Closed.
A group of strangely dressed people crawled in front of the altar, raised their arms, crawled down again, and prayed:
"O eternal and uncertain Chaos;"
“You are the master of the kingdom of disorder;”
"The shadow of order incarnate;"
"We ask for your help."
"We pray for your favor."
"Bless your followers!"
The order of their chants was different, but it seemed to contain some mysterious power. Each sentence became a complete chant. As Bernadette listened, the white mist in front of her eyes suddenly increased, hiding the entire valley in the thick white mist.
Under the fog.
Suddenly, the white mist shrouding the valley condensed into a pair of eyes, which seemed to hide the deep night, and an invisible fear enveloped Bernadette.
Bernadette closed her eyes suddenly, her body trembling abnormally due to fear. On her body, a pair of illusory and holy wings spread out, neutralizing the fear with the falling of white feathers.
After more than ten seconds, Bernadette was freed from the feeling of fear. Her blue eyes were bloodshot and she frowned slightly:
"'Bishop of Fear'?"
When Alicia and Horamik fought, she was by the side. Although Saint Anthony did not take action, fear still emanated from him, suppressing Alicia. The fear just now was different from the extreme feeling on Saint Anthony.
