Mysteries

Chapter 10 Dark Servant

The chair creaked, and the other party slowly stood up from the chair.

The black shadow instantly elongated and turned into a tall and slender man.The chair left the shadow and revealed its true colors—an ordinary wooden chair with a lame leg.It's hard to imagine that the other party could still sit as firmly as Mount Tai with their legs crossed just now.

Neia looked up at him and secretly overturned her previous guess.Looking at his height, he knew he was not the little man he was before.

"Want to go home?" The other party threw out the bait.

Neia's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm.

"Hehe..." A series of low-pitched laughter didn't sound like a lot of laughter, but instead had an indescribable sense of sarcasm, "Langzan's crisis can only be solved by you."

Neia's eyes widened.

"Want to know the reason?" The other party stretched out his hand and spread it out, a pure white stone-like thing stood quietly in the center of the palm, "It told me."

"What the hell is this?" Neia's eyelids twitched, never knowing that there was such a thing hidden in her heart.At the same time, the suspicion that had just been dispelled emerged again at this time.The other party must have something to do with the little man.

"your heart."

Neia frowned.

The other party continued slowly: "You really have a heart of stone."

and then?

No more.

After listening to Heart of Stone, Neia's eyes darkened and she passed out. When she woke up again, there was blue sky and white clouds in front of her eyes, and the sun was shining brightly.The dwarf was sitting beside him, fiddling with the kettle impatiently. Seeing him open his eyes, a flattering smile immediately changed on his face, and hey hey hey he leaned over: "Are you awake?"

you?

Neia got goosebumps all over her body, sat up quickly, and kept a distance of two or three meters away from him with both hands and feet.

The dwarf's smile collapsed, but soon he lifted himself up again: "Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Do you want to drink some water and eat something before we go on the road?"

Neia opened her mouth slowly, her voice hoarse: "What exactly do you want?"

The dwarf asked the temple speechlessly.

He also wanted to know what the hell he was going to do, and the scene before he fell into a coma left him with lingering fears—when Feida held up the white stone, the huge light divine power filled the entire temple, and the dark power in his body was suppressed. Without the power to fight back, the light divine power took advantage of the void and washed his whole body, including his body and soul.Just when he thought he was about to die for no apparent reason, the divine power of light that squeezed him so hard that he couldn't breathe suddenly disappeared, and his body seemed to be soaked in a hot spring, feeling comfortable and indescribably happy.

after that……

He also passed out.When he woke up, he was on the floor in Feida's dormitory. Before he could express his sincerity and fear, he was assigned the task of "escorting Neia to Langzan safely".

The dwarf's head was in a mess, and the picture of Neia's heart being cut open was still in front of him. In a blink of an eye, he was able to walk and talk again without any injuries.Sure enough, it was a temple, it showed miracles, and it was so mysterious that it made me feel a little nervous.

...why?Neia's heart had already been dug out, so why did Feida and that mysterious man treat him differently?

The dwarf mung bean's big eyes swept over Neia's face, and said with a smile, "I will escort you to Langzan."

Neia's body tensed instantly.

"It's Master Feida's order." Fearing that the other party would rush over regardless, the dwarf quickly explained, "He ordered me to escort you to Langzan safely."

Neia looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing his defensive face, the dwarf turned his thoughts around and said with a sigh: "You should be able to see that it is not my will to take on this task, but I will never disobey Lord Feida's order. Since Destined to go together, why don't you let us let go of our prejudices?"

Neia pursed her lips: "I can go back without you."

The dwarf heard that his tone was loose, and said again: "Of course, I have no doubts about this. But why would you give up a free guard? Besides, I took your friend away, don't you want to stare at me?" , let me return him?"

These words moved Neia.He did worry about Oak's safety.

Neia supported the stone at hand, stood up cautiously, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her, and stretched out her hand to touch the position of her heart.No discomfort.Was it the divine power of light that cured him?His intuition is not that simple.That black image of a heavy boulder, whenever I think of it, I can't breathe.

The dwarf looked at him curiously.

As soon as Neia turned her head, she saw him hastily turned his head away. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What is this place?"

"Outside Santu City." The dwarf paused, "I don't know how you got here, I saw you lying here as soon as I opened my eyes. In fact, I don't even know how I got here."

For several days, Neia didn't speak. At first the dwarf tried to tease him, but seeing that he was in a trance from time to time, he gave up and took care of all the chores silently, playing the role of bodyguard with all his heart. .

This state continued until they came to the largest city on the border of Santu-Slolan.

The dwarf suggested using a teleportation magic circle, but Neia had no objection.

The two came to the branch of the Magic Guild in Slolan, and when they said the location and were about to pay the money, they saw each other wave their hands repeatedly.

The staff of the branch said: "Xiaobei City's teleportation magic circle has been cancelled."

Neia's heart tightened: "What about Dabei City?"

The staff said: "All the teleportation magic circles in Langzan have been cancelled. You'd better go to Senliska first, and then go by car."

The dwarf asked Neia for his opinion. Seeing that he was absent-minded and was about to make a decision, Neia suddenly asked, "Where's Oak?"

The dwarf looked a little unnatural: "Well, I have sent a letter to the eldest prince Cornell, asking him to take good care of him." No wonder.Like those boys, Oak was used as a stand-in for Prince Connell to divert the pursuers of Queen Gulan and his younger brother. He was an abandoned son at the beginning. It was luck to live, and bad luck to die. He never thought of getting it back. .The promise to Neia was pure deceit, as long as Fei Da's order was fulfilled and the person was safely sent to Langzan, he didn't care about the rest.

Neia looked at him quietly.

The dwarf said: "Trust me, I will tell him to go to Longzan when he arrives in Senrisgar."

Neia had doubts about him, so she was naturally unwilling to follow his arrangement, and decided to stay overnight in Sloran.

The dwarf was secretly impatient, and tried to persuade him to leave as soon as possible, but Neia was unmoved.

After supper, the dwarf did his best trick—openness and honesty.

"Aren't you curious about my identity?" The dwarf came to Neia's room with a snack.

Neia said, "No."

The conversation ended—it would probably have ended like this for others, but the dwarf had a thick skin and sat down shyly: "Actually, I am a believer in the Dark God." Released, presumably there is something to rely on.

Besides, the dark power that Neia aroused when he was in a hurry was definitely not an illusion. He drank the dark holy water that he handed him and there was no response. All signs indicated that he must have some ulterior connection with the dark temple. .

Thinking of this, he ignored Neia's astonished expression and said to himself, "From my grandfather's grandfather, we have been followers of the Dark God."

Neia didn't study much about the gods, nor was she interested in the Goddess of Light, so she didn't know how to take up this topic.

He didn't speak, and the dwarf had no choice but to continue: "Prince Cornell promised me that as long as he ascends the throne, he will pass a decree allowing the establishment of a dark temple in Gulan."

As a prince, Neia knew very well how ridiculous this promise was.Not to mention Gu Lan, who is close to Santu, even Langzan, who is far away from the Guangming God's Association, if this decree is passed today, it will be attacked by the Guangming God's Association tomorrow, and other countries will also follow suit.This is definitely not a problem that can be solved in one sentence.

The dwarf sighed and said, "Of course I know this is not an easy task, but one must pursue something in life, and my pursuit is my belief."

Neia finally understood the other party's intentions, and tentatively asked a question: "Why did you send me to the God of Light?" In fact, what he wanted to ask was how they knew there was a white thing hidden in their hearts.

The dwarf didn't hide it: "That time, I discovered the power of darkness in you." Neia was delighted, which he did not expect.

Of course Neia knew which time he was referring to, and also knew that this was the effect of the lip ring.But he instinctively didn't want to say it.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, the dwarf thought that his words had an effect, and after a few more words, he finally clarified his purpose tactfully and persuaded him to return to Longzan as soon as possible.

Ningya said, "I want to see Oak." The more anxious the dwarf was, the more indifferent he had to be.Having been with the dwarf for so many days, he was very aware of his character. Once he let go, Oak may never come back.

The dwarf spoke earnestly for a long time, but returned in vain.

The dwarf returned to the room very agitated.

He paced back and forth for a long time, and finally made a bold and local decision - to forcefully send Neia to Langzan.Feida's order was to escort him to Langzan safely, but he didn't say that he must follow Neia's opinion.No matter what method I use, it is a good method to send people to the land of Langzan.

In order to be sure, he also typed a draft action on paper.

When he was writing vigorously, a wisp of black smoke came out from the back of his neck and stopped on top of his head, as if he was looking down at what he was writing.

When the dwarf noticed something raised his head, the black smoke turned into a thick black smoke rope, wrapped around his neck, and slowly lifted up, up... and let the dwarf's legs kick randomly in the air... ...pedaling...until he couldn't pedal any more.
