Chapter 178 The cruel price
After a sputter of nonsense, Long Aotian, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly stood up, causing Soul's words to be interrupted. "Boy, what are you doing?" "Stop asking anymore. I'll suffer a lot when Aina comes to the door again." Long Aotian looked like you should spare me. Just after she twisted the ring and put her soul into it, Aina opened the door angrily, pouting and glaring at Long Aotian, who was turning pale. "Aotian! I've been waiting for you in Dongchi for a long time, but not only did you not come to me, you even hid here alone! You..."
After saying that, Aina stepped forward and raised her white and tender hand as if to strike. The startled Long Aotian immediately held the small jade hand and said with a flattering smile: "Aina, I'm not working hard. Did you lose track of time while studying the magic structure? I feel sorry for making you wait for so long... How about I give you a kiss to make it up to you?"
Aina, who was originally full of anger, felt the touch of Long Aotian's hand holding hers, and immediately blushed, pouted her mouth and withdrew her hand, lowered her head and whispered softly: "I hate it... I know. Bullying others... forget it, I don't blame you anyway... Hey, this is for you." Aina couldn't stand Long Aotian's offensive and immediately surrendered, taking out a watermelon-sized egg from the package she was carrying. The big egg was handed to Long Aotian. The latter frowned subconsciously, took the egg, and felt the faint beating coming from the eggshell. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What is this? A World of Warcraft egg?"
"I don't know, it looks like it's fun, so I brought it to you." Aina stared at the egg with curious eyes, looking up and down. But Long Aotian, who was also puzzled, suddenly his eyes lit up the next moment! Because at this moment, the soul in the ring suddenly ran out. After seeing the egg, he said extremely excitedly: "Oh my god, what kind of bullshit luck? Can you find a dragon egg even if you go fishing? Silly boy, hurry up and use it A drop of blood is added to the ritual magic. Even in my time, this thing was a rare treasure that could only be found but not found!"
"Dragon?" Long Aotian almost shouted in shock when he heard that this was actually a dragon egg. However, due to the presence of Aina in front of her, she had no choice but to use the silent magic of the mind to ask the soul: "Dragon? Is it the kind that flies in the sky on clouds and mists without wings?" "You kid started saying some incomprehensible things again. .How can a dragon fly without wings?"
Suddenly, Long Aotian understood that the so-called dragon here was just a big lizard with two flesh wings. Long Aotian, who was suddenly a little disappointed, was scolded by the greedy soul on the side, shouting unfairly: "Are you still very disappointed? Enos, please forgive this silly boy. A dragon, an unborn dragon!" Silly boy, if this dragon is seen by anyone, you will be killed by all the masters immediately! This is a dragon clan that can at least rival the existence of a magician when it grows up!"
Hearing this jealousy, Long Aotian felt somewhat comfortable. He waved one hand, and a ritual magic circle was printed on the eggshell. Long Aotian immediately cut the skin and dripped a drop of blood on it. "Aotian, what are you doing?" Aina looked at Long Aotian's behavior in confusion. Who knew that the next moment, the egg immediately emitted waves of fluctuations, and only heard a click. The eggshell was suddenly punctured from the inside out. The two men immediately stared at the breach, only to see a creature with almost invisible small fleshy wings on its back, which looked like a red puppy, barely opening its big round eyes. Seeing Long Aotian looking at him, he finally tilted his head, showing confusion, and softly shouted: "Wow..."
"Wow! What a cute puppy! It must be some kind of rare monster! Hee hee." I saw the baby dragon had just crawled out of the egg shell, gently sniffing the scent of Long Aotian, and when he identified his mother, the love Na immediately stepped forward and hugged the young dragon, taking advantage of the young dragon's face very much. …,
"What did you say? Puppy?" Long Aotian looked at the very happy Aina speechlessly and didn't know what to say. Even the souls on one side rolled their eyes and ran back into the ring wishing they could die again. "Yes, this puppy is very cute." Aina showed an innocent smile, playing with the young dragon who didn't hate Aina either.
The next day, although he harvested a baby dragon, Long Aotian, who was a little happy, had to accept a fact. The appetite of a newborn baby dragon is really scary. A little guy who is really as big as a puppy can eat beef for six people! Long Aotian swore that if he hadn't recognized his master and couldn't bear to hurt a little guy, he would have thought of cooking the little dragon. So, under the constant complaints and accusations from the mage soul, Long Aotian had no choice but to go to the town on the edge of the empire to buy enough meat in order to prevent the mage from becoming suspicious.
Long Aotian looked helpless, followed by a large carriage. The carriage was filled with all kinds of meat. Fortunately, Long Aotian's cheap father has plenty of money, so he can still afford these things. "Wait, silly boy. Look what that is?" The bored soul suddenly saw some strange gadgets placed on the street stalls. With his extraordinary vision, Soul immediately stopped Long Aotian, who wanted to return to the Mages Association quickly. "They are just some businessmen who like to resell antiques. They are all fakes."
"No, no, no!" Soul immediately waved his hands excitedly and said very vigilantly: "Look at the gun head on the stage. Although I don't know what it is, I can guarantee that it is definitely not what it looks like. Simple!" After hearing this, Long Aotian turned to look at the spears on the table with only the tips left. The tip of the gun is rusty and has some faint cracks. It's hard to believe this is a treasure. "Really or not? Such a rag?" "Don't worry, it's definitely a good thing!"
The soul who was very proud of his vision said so. Long Aotian didn't care. After questioning the price, he bought the severed gun head for the price of a mere silver coin. The moment he took the gun, Long Aotian's handsome face immediately showed an expression of surprise. Because the spiritual power contained in the Chinese Domination Art that he secretly practiced was actually ready to move.
Putting aside the name and the disgusting personality of this idiot, let us return our perspective to our protagonist, Paladin.
Night had fallen, and Paladin was sitting alone in a cave. There is a strong Abel guarding the outside, so there is no need to worry about some ants coming to cause trouble. At this moment, there was no light at all in the dark cave. Paladin took off all his clothes and looked at his body for the first time. The golden crystallization has swallowed up the entire right arm. Paladin doesn't care about the white hair and golden pupils. All he cared about at the moment was his flat lower abdomen.
That's right, there are no physical characteristics of either sex underneath him. Neither male nor female. It is an existence that is superior to both. It is recorded in the ancient classics of alchemy that the so-called complete and supreme existence is the sun and the moon. They are existences that cannot be assigned to simple biological genders such as male and female.
Paladin could even feel that his stomach and chest were empty except for the still beating heart in his left chest. There are no internal organs, no intestines, and no blood vessels. At this point, Paladin truly bid farewell to humans and creatures. Stepped up to another level of existence.
"Uh..." Suddenly, a stinging pain that made people almost crazy spread all over his body. Even Paladin, who was used to the pain of numbness and light elements, still turned pale under such severe pain. He was so pale that he squinted his eyes in pain and was speechless. Yes, this pain is the price to pay in exchange for the wings of God. …,
"The eagle is soaring between heaven and earth with the wings of God. However, when night falls, it is ravaged and destroyed by evil. It is not until dawn that the sun hangs on the branches again and is reborn from the ashes. "Yes, this passage is the message carried in Wings of God. For Paladin, this is the price to pay for power. Although this comes at a cost of great pain and suffering.
"Ah! Wuwuwuwu! Ahhh!" Not only that, because of the price, when night falls, the countless souls contained in the body begin to wail endlessly and tirelessly. The huge noise cannot be canceled at all, and all Paladin can do is face it and persist.
"Uh...ahhh..." Paladin's body began to weaken, and the screams in his mind were like waves, constantly tearing his spirit apart. On the body, every inch of skin and bones were visibly fester, and then turned into ashes burned by the flames and fell to the ground! Not long after, Paladin had turned into a skeleton. The flickering golden light flashing in his eye sockets meant that Paladin had not been destroyed by this blow. There was a piece of ashes on the ground, and the remaining bones began to slowly turn into sand like quicksand, blending into the ashes on the ground.
"I have to persist...I can't just fall down here...die in this nameless forest." Paladin, who was only conscious, had no material attachment at this moment. Although he exists in this world, he does not exist at all. Falling into an infinite abyss of pain.
Suddenly, Paladin remembered the Father Paladin who was killed outside the Federation two years ago and buried in the forest. That was his beginning, but it was definitely not the end. "That's right, it's not the end!"
PS: It seems that many book friends are unhappy with my newly added Long Aotian... Actually this is irony. It is a strong contrast. The first half of the story is all brainless and bloody, but the second half is cruel and persevering... …This is the protagonist I want to write, an existence that is different from other novice protagonists. At this moment, I felt that my writing of the book was not in vain. Long Aotian is just an embellishment, used to set off the green leaves of the protagonist. If you don’t like it, don’t worry, because I won’t describe this Long Aotian too much, and I feel disgusted when I write it.
