It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 154 Xia Zhi joins the team
——Starting from a life of wandering...

——Speaking of why I started my wandering life...

——This also brings out my own life experience and the background of the world I was born into...

Just like pulling out a radish will bring out the mud, many things were implicated and revealed by Ciri in one breath.

This includes the information about the "Ancient Blood".

In that world, Ciri was born into a royal family, her parents loved her very much, her grandmother was a great queen, the palace where she lived was guarded by hundreds of knights, and people thought she would become a powerful queen in the future, but fate had other plans.

She has a powerful magical talent and is a source sorcerer. This is because her mother and great-grandmother inherited the power of ancient blood and are natural magical sources.

This bloodline can be traced back to the elven sage Laura Doron, who was originally arranged to marry the elven sage Avallac'h from another world, but she met a human wizard. Their friendship developed into love, and they became a pair of legendary lovers, but they died tragically because they despised the coming of the times.

Although the two people's endings were extremely tragic, their bloodline continued.

However, this inherited bloodline has always been coveted and watched by evil people.

This bloodline that has the ability to travel through time and space is an unimaginably priceless treasure no matter how you look at it.

Evil ambitious people, evil villains, and the origin race of this bloodline are constantly hunting down Ciri. They all want to get her and the ability she has, so as to realize their grand vision, such as ruling the world, ruling the world, or ruling the world...

"It is for this reason that I am like a living weapon. Almost everyone wants to control me..."

When she said this, the white-haired girl smiled slightly at herself, a smile full of helplessness, fatigue and boredom.

Then, she turned her sharp eyes to stare at the magician opposite her, as if her eyes contained some hope and expectation.

"..."

"..."

"It's a crime to possess a treasure. I can understand that to some extent... After all, it is the ability to actively travel between different worlds, and it can carry a large amount of matter and travel stably. It sounds coveted enough."

The young magician opposite said so with deep understanding and sympathy in his eyes.

He paused for a moment, noticing the other person's eyes and hopes. After a brief thought, he spoke in a firm and sincere voice: "Don't worry, I am also quite curious about your abilities, but this is purely out of interest in exploring the unknown... I won't think of taking advantage of you!"

These words were so powerful.

Such a guarantee made in person is more or less a show. Generally speaking, according to normal people's thinking logic, no one would easily believe such a statement.

however--

Now Ciri's thinking logic is obviously not normal. It is better to say that this scene is exactly what she wanted to see.

Hearing his solemn assurance, the white-haired girl felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had finally fallen from her heart. She raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a bright smile: "That's good! I knew I could trust you!"

"..."

"..."

Emmmmm...how should I say this?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and turned his eyes away intentionally or unintentionally, not looking at the girl.

Of course, he knew that this result was justified, because the god-like charm was still very powerful. After deliberately avoiding the concerns and fears deep in Ciri's subconscious and choosing to cut into her weak will, he almost did not cause any confrontation.

It was natural for the girl to gradually lean towards him emotionally and spiritually. Just like now, she almost confided all her secrets to him, and it seemed that as long as the latter made a simple promise, she would be able to completely relax and not worry about the consequences.
basically--

It’s to the extent that Xili will believe whatever Xia Zhi says.

Although he couldn't say that he had a guilty conscience, or he probably didn't have much of a conscience, he still felt like he was bullying a fool. - Although strictly speaking, this couldn't be said to be wrong, after all, this level of charm...

Emmmmmm...In fact, it is indeed similar to the "halo that reduces intelligence".

It can even be said that what Xia Zhi currently has is actually a weakened version.

This is because this power or quality is an applied technology extracted from the resonance between the remains of the half-body of the Mecha God and the damaged divine core of Aphrodite, one of the fallen Olympian gods.

The power form of its predecessor belongs to the realm of God's power.

Going back further, the essence is that the alien spacecraft was pre-designed with programs and functions.

Obviously, his race is neither a god nor can be classified as a silicon-based life form, so these two forms of ability are not suitable for direct application.

Just like a console game on PC, it also needs to be ported and optimized. He is not unfamiliar with this. After all, the pseudo-holy sword circuit and the pseudo-holy spear circuit are the same. After all, there is a difference between the divine weapon and the flesh and blood body, so a dedicated porting plan is needed according to local conditions.

——It’s just the simulated circuit of the Holy Sword and Holy Lance, which is related to his core foundation and basis, so it needs to be perfect and done in one step.

——As for the external performance of ability, there is no need to be so picky about the details. You can just use it first and then slowly adjust it to a better state later.

It's like the difference between "mentality" and "techniques".

Therefore, the power of charm that Xia Zhi is now showing is stronger than magic, rituals, curses, secrets, and other mysteries that can be wielded by humans, but it is estimated that it still cannot reach the level of power, at least it certainly cannot reach the prototype value of Aphrodite who possesses the true body of a mecha.

Otherwise, Ciri would have absolutely no chance of resistance.

Even at that time, Xia Zhi didn't need to simply lie to her - she would lie to herself. Even if Xia Zhi showed that he was also using her ability and had bad intentions towards the "ancient blood" flowing in her body... She might try to convince herself and think in a positive direction, unwilling to doubt whether Xia Zhi had some conspiracy or wanted to harm her.

Xia Zhi made a silent estimate and couldn't help but shook his head in his heart.

Charm and the like are not the best way to go, but I have to say...it is really useful.

He had previously considered analyzing the signature skill of a certain unlucky spearman, "Black Mole of Love (C)"...

Now it seems that it was the right thing to not take action at that time. Compared with the signature power of the God of Love and Beauty, a mole is nothing! Not even a dog needs it!

"It's okay now, the Wild Hunt can't find me..."

At this time, Xili also raised her teacup and drank it all, then took a long breath, and the depression between her brows seemed to be vented. Regardless of whether her current state was normal or not, at least she had a good talk, and she felt much more relaxed because of it.

She put down the cup and continued, "No one in other worlds knows me, so there's generally no danger... But I can't find my way back, no matter how hard I try."

Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows and collected his thoughts: "Can't find the way back? Don't you have any marks or feelings about your original world?"

"……No."

Ciri shook her head and explained very honestly, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone: "I can actively travel through different worlds, but I don't know what the other world is. It all depends on luck..."

"Then it will be very difficult for you to go back..." The magician frowned.

"I can only take one step at a time. This is what I think. As long as I keep traveling through different worlds, if I'm lucky, I should be able to return to my world!" The white-haired girl explained seriously, indicating that she still had some ideas.

Ciri has not given up hope of returning.

Xia Zhi looked at her with a somewhat subtle look. This girl was a little too optimistic.

But it's also good this way. This also gives me the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If I can simply reach a cooperative relationship through negotiation, there is no need to use violence... He thought for a moment, raised his fist to his mouth, coughed, and attracted the girl's attention:
"In that case, I have a suggestion—"

"What suggestions?" Ciri was stunned.

"How about you take me with you next time? I'm also interested in traveling through the world..." The magician gave her an extremely brilliant smile, making the girl's mind go blank again.

"..."

"..."

"Hey! Can I?"

After a long while, Xili finally reacted, stammering and asking in disbelief.

She was naturally ecstatic in her heart, after all, her favorability was locked at a very high level, just like a silly boy who met a goddess and was unwilling to part with her. And being able to get the favor of the goddess was something she dared not even think about.

Naturally, she wanted to agree to it right away, but she also had to consider the other party and was worried that it would have a negative impact on the other party.

If that were the case, she would definitely refuse it with great reluctance.

"Of course, I'm a magician, but this world is no longer suitable for people like me. The magic power in the atmosphere is getting thinner and thinner. I can only rely on my own magic power to survive. If this continues, I don't think I will live for hundreds of millions... cough cough, I won't live for many years."

The magician had a look of deep regret on his face, as if he was lamenting that he didn't have much time left.

"I had no choice before, so I accepted my fate. But now that you, Ciri, have appeared, you have given me another possibility... If possible, I still hope you can take me with you."

He didn't mind verbally acknowledging the girl's dominance.

After all, the other party's ability to travel through time is mainly random and temporarily uncontrollable. In this case, whether it is "Ciri joining the team" or "Xiazhi joining the team", it doesn't make any difference at all, so it's better to use this to strengthen the hint to the girl -

Make her feel that she is in control and not being used, thus weakening her vigilance.

And this effect is also very significant.

Ciri gritted her teeth, carefully studied his expression, then nodded vigorously and clenched her fist: "I understand... If you don't mind, then let's go together!"

"Hitting the road... this word is a bit unlucky."

Xia Zhi coughed lightly and said, "It's settled then, but there's no need to rush. I also need to make some preparations. You can have a good rest here tonight and recover some energy before we talk."

He still needed to verify one thing, so he didn't plan to let Ciri set off immediately.

However, he was also very satisfied with Xili's performance, because he could see that she really carefully confirmed her situation and judged whether it was good or bad to take her with her before making the decision. It was not that she had doubts, but she was just worried that this would have an adverse effect on herself.

This is probably the terrifying part of the charm ability that I possess. The person being charmed will treat the charmer wholeheartedly, just like a one-sided affectionate devotion -

If this wasn't the case, it would probably be the Tomie version...

When the person being charmed is madly in love, he or she cannot control the desire for possession and may do anything impulsive. Isn't this the classic way that Tomie died, being killed and dismembered by a group of men...

Xia Zhi thought quickly and came to a strange conclusion -

Does this mean that...

You don't have to worry about triggering the hatchet ending if you abuse this ability?
