Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 168 The Four Abysses Act as a Ritual, the Girl's Pure Wish (4k)

Farandelle flicked her fingertips gently and smiled.

But Gluttony's eyes were filled with the sweet and soft Yuan Qingzhuo. Her five senses and brain were all occupied by the appetite Toxoplasma, and she couldn't even do some basic thinking.

There was no trace of Flandre in his eyes.

So she unabashedly pretended to be Flandel, and began to tear her clothes and pose in front of Yuan Qingzhuo.

But Yuan Qingzhuo had no other emotions in his heart at this moment, he just wanted to laugh out loud.

——Will I die from overeating?
the answer is……

"I want to eat." Flandre propped up her chin, and her little face with a faint smile was instantly filled with gluttony. She curled her lips coldly: "Then, um, please eat your fill."

"Alas--!"

Yuan Qingzhuo found it hard to imagine that the glutton who had just swallowed a whole giant snake in one bite could make such a timid and frightened sound.

"I'm sorry, Lord Farandel. I was wrong. Please punish me. I was not thinking clearly just now and I did something wrong. I'm really sorry."

Gluttony transformed back into the little girl she was at the beginning, crawling and trembling in front of Flandel's toes.

What really surprised Yuan Qingzhuo was that a large pool of light yellow water slowly spread out from under his body as he was constantly trembling and eating.

Yuan Qingzhuo could see that Gluttony's fear of Flandel was absolutely true.

Rather, it's a bit too much.

He couldn't help but pinch his nose and took two steps back.

——What terrible things did Sister Fa do to her before?

"So, you thought I would let you go if you pretended like this... It's fine if you dared to turn into my appearance and mess around, but you actually wanted to attack Yuan Qingzhuo just now?"

Farandel couldn't help but sneer: "Are you going to use the method you used at the beginning again?"

As Flandel spoke slowly, Yuan Qingzhuo could see Gluttony's petite body shaking more and more violently, until finally, she could no longer bear the fear in her heart, and she screamed and jumped down from the gap in the railing.

Ran?

Yuan Qingzhuo leaned forward and saw Gluttony with white eyes doing a spiral free fall in mid-air, breaking many branches.

It won't be long before it hits a solid enough surface and turns into a sticky, exploding meat patty.

This all happened rather quickly.

Before Yuan Qingzhuo could figure out the relationship between Gluttony and Sister Fa, the former jumped away.

However, in the face of the sudden gluttony that starts to go crazy and wants to eat herself, Sister Fa's performance is still reassuring enough.

Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to have a fight with friendly forces.

Yuan Qingzhuo retracted his gaze and asked, "Is it okay for her to jump like this, Sister Fa?"

"Don't worry. Even if the cult's troop carriers run over it a hundred times and the debris spreads all over the street, it doesn't matter."

Flandel smiled and shook her head: "I'm too lazy to chase her. I'll settle the score with her next time."

"Let's take a look at your ritual first."

This time, Flandel used magic to turn the wheelchair himself and led the way.

She stretched out her hand to indicate that she didn't need the help of the cult members with different expressions. After descending about a hundred meters from the large plane and passing through a translucent membrane.

A bloody slaughterhouse appeared before their eyes.

Various kinds of broken limbs and flesh were thrown randomly in each corner, and if you look closely, you can find that these flesh and blood fragments occupied eight of the twelve corners.

"Well, if nothing else, the efficiency of eating is quite high."

Flandel took a deep breath of the bloody air, waved to Yuan Qingzhuo who was standing behind him, pointed at the giant spell that was almost buried and could not be seen clearly, and said:
"This is your Mercury Rank promotion ritual. How is it? It's pretty good, isn't it?"

Looking at the sea of ​​blood and the mountain of corpses before him, Yuan Qingzhuo recalled his own White Iron Level promotion ritual, and began to doubt whether this thing had even the slightest connection with the "ritual".

As if he had read Yuan Qingzhuo's silent thoughts, Flandel reached out and wiped away the blood stain that covered the original spell patterns:
"The reason why we put your Ascension Ceremony in the Fourth Abyss is that, first, we can use the food that Gluttony usually wastes for free, and second, well..."

Flandel grinned and used his spiritual essence to clear away the large amount of coagulated blood, revealing most of the technique in front of Yuan Qingzhuo: "Don't you think this so-called promotion ritual is very similar to a technique?"

Hearing Farandel's words, Yuan Qingzhuo narrowed his eyes. The power of knowledge made him blurt out subconsciously: "Sacrificial ritual?"

"Bingo~"

Flandel pointed at the stumps that contained all kinds of components and said, "Flowing colorful clouds, the core of dragon breath, Mambo's head, and the core components of various powerful creatures. It is impossible for an ordinary promotion ceremony to use these miscellaneous things."

"——So, these things are used as sacrifices to the Fourfold Abyss... or the Giant's Cup."

Yuan Qingzhuo heard her say: "Those who fill the cup to the brim with wine should be rewarded with courtesy by the giant."

"In this era, these guys who have long since turned into trees can't open their coffins and get up to drink, so we can only offer them their favorite food as tribute."

The golden reminder of [Discover the Ancient Ascension Ritual] faded away, and Yuan Qingzhuo came to the edge of the ritual: "Then Sister Fa, what should I do specifically?"

"Just walk in, you don't have to do anything." Flandel grinned and pushed Yuan Qingzhuo into the ritual.

A brilliant spell blossomed from her palms, and she smiled happily:
"——The Giant's Cup will serve as your ascension ritual!"

The sea of ​​blood and the mountain of corpses melted like ice and snow, and the dazzling blood light shot up into the sky in an instant.

at the same time.

"Sister Farandelle just left, right? Thank you for your answer."

After thanking the library manager, Rush walked out of the library thoughtfully with the invitation letter in his pocket.

Then, who should I ask for details about the invitation letter from the Demon King's Court?

After standing alone at the door for a while, the girl slowly made a list in her mind.

Naturally, An, who is gentle, knowledgeable and of high status, is ranked at the top.

——Then it’s decided, let’s go find Sister An.

Having thus decided, Rush's mind went to several places which Ann frequented.

Let’s look for them one by one first.

The girl was taking small steps, but she hadn't run far when she heard a very familiar and puzzled voice: "Little Rush, what are you looking for?"

Rush turned around and saw that it was the red-haired girl who had changed into her regular clothes.

It was Caroline who couldn't hide her smile.

Although she didn't want to communicate with Caroline right now, because she wanted to find Ann, the girl still said, "I have something to ask Sister Ann."

"Oh! Looking for my mom." Caroline grabbed her hair and pretended to think: "Although she was in the baptistery just now, it may not be the case now~"

Caroline, who was in a good mood, reached out to Rush:

"How about I take you to find it? I can carry you on my back and it will be much faster." Instead of accepting Caroline's invitation immediately, Rush asked, "What did Sister Caroline originally want to do?"

"Of course, I'll go to the library to read."

Caroline answered without thinking, and noticed that Rush's little face showed an expression of 50% confusion and 50% "I see".

Of course, Caroline could only discover this phenomenon but could not understand it at all.

——The difficulty of getting Caroline to go to the library to read books on her own initiative is no less than waking up the next day to find that the cult has destroyed the Demon King's Court and occupied the entire Second Abyss.

Rush remembered what Yuan Qingzhuo had said himself.

So the girl curled her lips slightly.

——Do you want to go to the library to read books? I don’t even want to expose you!

"Then Sister Caroline, please take me to find Sister Ann."

Rush showed a lovely smile, and at the same time told himself in his heart that he must not let Caroline's evil claws reach Zhuo Ge.

If this continues, all the time I spend with Brother Zhuo will be taken away by her!
——Caroline didn’t think so much.

She picked up Rush, placed the girl on her shoulders, and ran towards the road, saying "Doo-doo-doo".

The two of them almost walked around the monastery completely, and finally found An in his personal office, where he was busy reviewing documents.

"Ha--Mom, why are you coming to work right after you presided over the awakening ceremony?"

Caroline, who was sweating profusely, had no idea that Ann would still be in the office doing clerical work at this time.

Because mom just presided over the awakening ceremony, she must be very tired!
Thinking this way, Caroline ran through all the recreational areas in the monastery, but didn't find any trace of Ann at all.

——It was only under Rush’s instructions that she came to the office half-heartedly.

It turned out that An was really inside.

It looks like he has been here for a long time.

Rush, influenced by Yuan Qingzhuo's complaints, has become accustomed to the fact that the cult members are working overtime like crazy.

An looked very energetic. She lifted the hair by her ears, put down the pen in her hand and asked:
"Caroline? And little Rush...what do you want from me?"

Caroline put Rush on her shoulder and put it on the ground. She squinted her eyes and wondered if she could help Ansha drop half of the files. She said, "Rush was the one who came to find you. I brought her here."

So An set his sights on Rush, who was just as tall as the desk.

Considering Caroline still standing behind him, Rush opened his mouth and winked at the smiling Ann.

An Xin understood and looked at Caroline, and asked, "Caroline, do you have anything else to do?"

The red-haired girl clenched her fist and showed a determined look: "Can I help you review the documents?"

An was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of joy, then smiled and shook his head and asked:
"Do you know how to read? Common language, Imperial language, Demon language, Ancient human language, Western continent language... There are many, many more. How many do you know?"

Caroline: (o_O)!
"It seems like, I don't know any of them very well... hehehe."

The girl, who could only recognize a few large characters, smiled awkwardly and touched the back of her head, then took two steps back and walked out the door: "Then I won't bother you anymore, I'll leave first."

She was also kind enough to close the door to prevent Ann from seeing her embarrassing blushing face.

"Alas... I've already taught her to read. What can I do if she can't even speak the common language?"

Rush saw An sighing. The girl thought about it and said tentatively, "But we still have Brother Zhuo. He knows a lot."

When Yuan Qingzhuo was mentioned, An showed a relieved expression. She nodded and said, "That's true. But it's a bit troublesome for Yuan Qingzhuo... Caroline still needs to learn more."

Hearing Ann's words, Rush pursed his lips imperceptibly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to talk to me about, little Rush?"

An left his chair, walked around the desk piled with thick documents, squatted down and scratched the girl's nose.

"Sister An, I want to ask this." With a sense of urgency in his heart, Rush took out the invitation letter from the royal court from his pocket, "Is it safe... and if I want to go, are there any precautions?"

"Oh? Let Sister An see what it is..."

An took the invitation with a smile and his eyes focused the moment he saw the words on it clearly.

The invitation letter written by Roland...

"Rush, can you tell Sister An how this invitation came about?"

Ann picked up Rush and sat on the sofa nearby. He put the girl on his lap and spread the invitation in front of her so that they could both look at it together.

"Before, in the baptistery, after you left, Sister An, a guy called Faceless Sleeper came over with an invitation... but he was subdued by Sister Flandre."

Rush answered truthfully.

It was sent by the Faceless Sleeper.

Ann twirled Rush's hair with her fingers—that was good.

She spoke softly in Lash's ear: "If little Lash wants to go, of course you can go - since the royal court has invited you, it means you are their honored guest."

An made an assertion: "As long as you, Little Rush, don't take the initiative to provoke others, there will be no danger."

"There are a lot of older strangers who will come up to you and talk to you. As long as Rush is not afraid, it's fine."

The girl shook her head, "Rush isn't afraid."

Infected by the girl's resolute expression, An raised her eyebrows, pinched the girl's soft cheeks, and sent her blessings: "Then I wish you a happy time."

At the same time, at a time that Rush could not perceive, an extremely powerful triggering spell was quietly placed on Rush.

——As long as Lash's life is threatened, the triggered ritual can transform into An's clone and exert the power of a legendary position.

Rush nodded at first, but after hesitating for a long time, he took a deep breath and spoke softly to An who was about to send her away:
"——Sister An, Rush wants to become a demon king."

In the silence, Rush could clearly feel the change in atmosphere.

After a moment of silence, Ann asked her, "Rush, do you know what you are talking about now?"

"I do not know."

The girl shook her head honestly.

"But the only thing that is certain is that I want to become stronger and stronger."

Rush said seriously:
"I have to be stronger than Sister Caroline and Brother Zhuo."

Otherwise, nothing can be done.

This is the girl's simple and pure wish.
