He lowered his head and found that the amulet around Xiya's neck had cracks, and the khaki light around him had dimmed.
It seems that this amulet was damaged by a huge impact when it fell. It will not take long for the defensive function to disappear.
At this time, Xiya slowly opened his eyes, squinted at Dick, and said softly, "I'm a little thirsty."
Dick quickly took out the water bag from the space hanging and brought it to Xiya's lips.
Xiya's chapped lips just touched the water bag, and suddenly turned his head to avoid it, "Aren't you thirsty?"
"I just drank."
Xiya's bloody eyelashes cast shadows on her pale cheeks. "Your Adam's apple has rolled seven times, Dick."
Her bloody fingertips poked Dick's neck, "This place will jump when you lie."
Dick patted his chest and said, "There is a big pool in front of us. If I am really thirsty, I can get water from there."
"Dick, you are lying to me. Do you think I can't see that the water in the pool in front is filthy and undrinkable? You must drink some."
With trembling fingers, Xiya took the bottom of the water bag and handed it to Dick.
Dick had no choice but to take a few sips, and suddenly felt a chill all over my body and felt much more comfortable.
But after only two sips, he stopped drinking, shook his head and said, "I've finished drinking, let's set off now."
"Shall we go? Dick, look at me."
Xiya's eyes fell on his tightly bandaged arm, "I always cause you trouble and become a burden."
As she spoke, her voice trembled.
Dick's heart tightened, "Xiya, we will be out soon, you have to believe in my ability."
"Dick, I actually have something I want to tell you. Can you hold me?"
Xiya suddenly grabbed the School of the Lynx badge on his chest. The metal edge cut into his palm, and blood beads snaked along the gaps in the light armor.
"Of course." Dick hugged Xiya tightly into his arms.
"Me, I have been a disaster star since I was born." Xiya's voice was choked with sobs, and Dick's body couldn't help but tremble.
This subtle change was noticed by Xiya in his arms, "You really know everything.
Barbara raised me since I was a child, and I lived a very happy life. However, when I was studying at the Magic Academy when I was a child, some people said that I was a disaster star.
I didn't believe it at the time. But later... when I was fifteen years old, I went to the Bacchus Empire to investigate in the name of studying abroad.
Is there any wall in this world that is airtight?"
Her purple lips trembled, "My parents and my folks all died because of me. I am really a disaster star, Dick."
"Xiya..." Dick's voice was also trembling, "We finally got to where we are today, and the days to come are still long.
Have you forgotten that we worked together at Odinburg to exterminate Drowner?
We will have a lot of seamless cooperation in the future, and I hope you will always be by my side."
"Dick, I have never forgotten anything you and I have done together." As she spoke, a drop of hot tears slipped from the corner of her eyes, and fell on the bluestone with a "tick" sound, and she swallowed in a low voice.
"But now, others say I am Witch Who Destroys the World.
I first killed my parents, and then burned many innocent soldiers and civilians to death when I was in the army.
Later, Dean Mary and Fu Barbara talked to Abyss in order to save me, but they were almost killed by the demon from Hell.
Now, I've burdened you again. I don't want to be a burden anymore.
You go on your own, Dick."
The last sound of Xiya turned into a broken sob, and the blood-stained teeth bit down hard on the lower lip.
Dick felt that the body in his arms suddenly tightened like a fully stretched bowstring, and then went limp like a puppet with its strings cut off.
He hurriedly held the back of Xiya's neck, and his fingertips touched the abnormal bulge under the skin. It was the magic nodules traveling under the skin caused by over-casting.
Even though warlocks have the abilities of Heaven and Earth Destruction, most of their physiques are the same as ordinary people. There is only one alien like Vigo who is capable of both magic and martial arts.
At this time, Xiya was seriously injured, and her heart was full of guilt. The double blow to her mind and body finally made her unable to bear the blow, and her body became increasingly weak.
Dick screamed in his heart. He gently leaned Xiya against the stone wall behind him and looked around carefully.
When his body had just regained some strength, he exerted force on his feet and jumped upwards, jumping to a height of about ten meters, but he was still far away from the untouchable top of the pit.
After landing, Dick sighed and shouted loudly upward, "[World Jester], come out, I know you are nearby!"
After a breath, applause came from all directions in the space. The applause seemed to be both appreciation and ridicule.
Yuejiqi walked through the void, and blue phosphorus fire condensed in the air with every step.
A black substance like asphalt oozed from the hem of the yellow robe, and the rock wall it came into contact with immediately corroded into honeycomb-shaped holes.
When he came to Dick, he also gave him a gentleman's courtesy.
Yuejiqi had a faint smile on his face, "Dick, how did you know I was here?"
"Huh, devil, it is indeed a devil." Dick snorted coldly, "After I defeated the big lizard, even though its self-destruction was very powerful, it would not make me fall hundreds of meters above the ground.
So when I first landed, I suspected that someone had tampered with me. Who else could be so interested in me besides you, a devil?"
"Very smart, but I have always followed the rules, and what I did did not violate the rules." Yuejiqi frankly admitted that he had done some tricks.
"These days, I have been observing you from a distance. Don't be nervous, you are a transcendent. I dare not get close to see you sleeping, otherwise you will easily find out. Ever since you defeated those Deity messengers, I have become more and more interested in you."
Having said this, he looked at Xiya, his eyes narrowed, and his usually calm face became tense:
"As for this woman, I can't see through her, but I feel that there is a power in her that is the same as mine.
It's all my fault that I covet the pleasures of the mortal world. I had the opportunity to leave the mortal world ten thousand years ago, but chose to stay, so that now my strength is severely suppressed by the rules of the world."
Seeing that Dick didn't speak, he withdrew his gaze and continued:
"I had already guessed that you would come here. After all, if you want to reach Noldor Forest, Mist Swamp is the fastest way.
So I made preparations two days ago and pried some rocks under the swamp.
In this way, when the monster is unable to match your strength and explodes, it will naturally make you fall deeper."
He opened his hands and waved the yellow robe, "In this case, this does not violate the rules, and your savior will appear in front of you, right?"
"You have said so much, but you are just interested in my soul. Yuejiqi, how about we make a bet?"
"Oh?" Yuejiqi raised his eyebrows, and three playful forehead lines were clearly visible,
"Witcher Order, the leader who once deeply despised me as a devil, actually wants to make a bet with me?"
His tone became serious again, "You have to know that when you bet with me, you can only use your soul as a bet."
Seeing that Dick didn't respond, Yuejiqi said with a smile, "It seems you agreed. It's very simple. As long as you can guess the riddle I asked and use the answer to find me, you can meet one of your conditions."
"I agreed, but after I win you, you have to send me and Xiya to a safe place close to Noldor Forest, ensuring that our clothes are intact, our limbs are intact, and our souls are not damaged in any way; and you also have to leave this world!"
Dick racked his brains, thinking about the loopholes in his words, and then slowly spoke.
"These are two conditions, but just because it's you, I agree.
Dick, you seem to distrust me. It seems that you also know that when I signed contracts with those weak souls in the past, I always left some Tiny's right of interpretation in the contract.
Those weak souls just add some fun to my boring life in this world.
But you are different. Your soul is dazzling and golden. I have never seen such a high-quality human soul in tens of thousands of years.
In order to convince you that you can sincerely serve me and be my subordinate in the future, I promise you that this contract will not set any right of interpretation - I swear in the name of the great devil Yuejiqi!"
