It doesn't matter what the lord is.

In the last move, Alayya drew her sword, but she didn't stab it towards Lid, but stabbed it into the wall behind Lid. She leaned on the sword and said to Lid:

"Master, I remember now. I seem to have had a sister before. She is still there, still in heaven..." Alaiya raised her head and looked at Lid:

"Someone wanted me to assassinate the young master, threatening her life. But I still couldn't do it. The young master is the most important person in the world to me... Tears rolled down Alayya's fair and handsome face.

She said:

"I probably like the young master."

60. Zulong

Fulei was puzzled.

She originally thought that it would be Lid who would kill Alaya, or that Alaya would be killed by her before she could kill Lid. However, she did not expect that Lid and Alaya would not fight to the end, but stopped halfway, and then Alaya suddenly said something.

Fulei still didn't understand how things had turned out to be like this, but she was deeply shocked.

However, for Lid, he had waited too long for this sentence. Even though Alayya's tone was uncertain, but full of confusion and bewilderment; even though her love might have been magnified countless times in this special environment, Lid still felt a sense of relief.

Everything has a cause, and when cause and effect come together, it becomes an effect.

The fate between him and Alaiya was sealed the day he took Alaiya in and taught her swordsmanship. But at that time, Alaiya had no memory of the past, nor could she remember what kind of enemy could have cut off all her meridians.

When Lily of the Valley, the maid of the White Night, said that she had seen Alaya in the realm of the old gods, Reed also thought that perhaps Alaya would eventually return to the old gods, because she might have spent longer time there than in the human world.

Her relatives and old friends are all in the territory of the old gods, so when she wakes up, her time in the human world will be like a dream.

Just like Lid, he started his new life in this world only after the dust settled in his previous life. If he still had any obsessions in his previous life, Lid would definitely show his true ability as soon as he arrived in this world and try every means to return to the previous world.

Does Alayya have any obsession?

If Linglan's words were true, would Alayya, who had the blood of the old gods, still be the same as before when she recalled the past?

Running around beside Reed?

Reid had no answers to these questions before, so he was somewhat anxious.

But now, Alayya took the initiative to give her thoughts: once the bond between people is established, it will not be easily broken. For Alayya, meeting Lid in the human world and becoming Lid's guard is not a dream, but a real treasure.

Even though she vaguely remembered her identity, and even though she remembered that her "inaction" might kill people related to her, Alayya still did not kill him and fight with Lid. For her, no matter what she had experienced before she met Lid, she would never forget that Lid took her home when she was most sad and needed help the most, just like a stray cat with a hoarse voice in the storm, finally meeting someone walking towards her with an umbrella.

Does God love the world?

God didn't even love her.

When she was wandering in the human world, covered in wounds, none of her former colleagues came to her aid. When she was covered in mud, trembling with fear while holding her sword, she never received any warmth or encouragement from the old gods. In addition, Lid himself had no good feelings towards the old gods, so Alayya gradually developed a hostility towards the old gods.

Reed walked forward and hugged Alaiya, which made Frey next to her feel even more uncomfortable.

.....Calm down?"

Lid asked Alayya.

He could feel Alayya's body still trembling, and Alayya's hand holding the sword clenched and relaxed several times. Today, Lid finally understood why he always felt that there was another person around him. Alayya's mental state was very unstable after going down to the abyss, and any doubts would be magnified here, so Lid always felt that something was wrong behind him.

Alayya finally let go of the sword, letting Lid hold her, and said softly: "Master, I..."

Lid exhaled: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Fulei also coughed, interrupted the two people rudely, and asked:

"Alright, alright. Lid, what are your plans now? If we go any further in, the bugs will block us there, and we won't be able to get through. If we go out, we'll be back to the starting point, and there's only one-way traffic there."

Lid loosened his arms around Alayya, smiled at Frey, and replied:

"Going further in is the illusion created by the Abyss Dragon's corrosion, which means that when the Void sealed the Abyss Dragon, there was no such area. The road should end here at the mural. As for the new road—"

Reed turned sideways and slapped the mural hard, causing a wall to collapse.

This place had been chopped into pieces by Alaya before, and it was already shaky. Lid only used a little force to create a huge noise here. The wall depicting the story of the evil dragon and the brave man collapsed, revealing the black cave inside, which was a brand new road.

Lid said to Frey and Alayya:

"There is a smell of blood soul here, which means we are very close to the Abyss Dragon. We don't know what the situation is outside now.

The royal bloodlines of the six clans,

Have they been used as tools for blood sacrifice? If they have been used as blood sacrifice, then the Abyss Dragon should have recovered its strength now. In addition, it is hostile to us, so it will be difficult to deal with it later. If the blood sacrifice has not started yet, then we need to hurry up. "

Fulei also focused her attention on the road ahead and muttered to herself:

"Why on earth does it reject me... We can help it get out of here, but does it want to stay underground forever? Although there are dragons living underground, most of those dragons' organs have degenerated, they are blind and deaf, and they curl up into a ball and live on rainwater that seeps into the ground. Is this what the Abyss Ancestor Dragon wants?"

Reed couldn't answer this question. From deep in the road, he could faintly hear the roar of dragons.

Frey jumped down from the ruins and walked into the new road first. Lid reached out and pulled Alaya, and the two walked hand in hand behind Frey. A sea of ​​flowers formed by blood souls slowly began to appear on the ground, which was exactly the same as what Lid had seen at Clenus's place.

At the end of the road, Lid saw a wide space. There were no more test-like words on both sides, only torches burning quietly. After entering that space, Lid could feel that Alaiya held his hand with a little force, perhaps because this place gave her a very bad feeling.

The wide space was so large that a circle of torches alone could not illuminate the center. No one knew what was there. Maybe the treasure house of the abyss was there, or maybe it was a place where one would die. Lid and Fulei looked at each other, and then Lid took the initiative to step forward and said:

"I will help Her Highness Frey explore the way."

Fulei walked up to Lid and said with a complicated look: "Can I trust you?"

Lid lowered his head:

"I have no good feelings towards the Dragon Clan, but I have always been grateful to His Highness. My greatest luck in coming to the Dragon Clan this time is meeting His Highness.

No matter what happens,

will change. ”

Fleur smiled and said softly:

"Okay. Then just like we planned, you help me get the Abyss Dragon, and I will use this great contribution to save your life, and even fight for you... human peace." Lid bowed deeply:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

61. Who are you?

Reed walked towards the center of the dark space, and every step felt like walking on water.

It was different from the time when he met Clenus in the underwater temple. The pain that Clenus brought to people was more of a mental pressure.

It is an indescribable fear that goes deep into the bone marrow, and the power of the Abyss Dragon in this regard is indeed much weaker.

However, the Abyss Dragon also has its powerful side. The power here has materialized into a gloomy black fog. Reed walking inside is like rushing upstream against a rushing river, and the closer he is to the center, the faster the water flows.

The overwhelming force made him unable to stand up. Lid found that his perception ability was almost completely blocked. Because he had no way to release his breath to monitor the situation outside, his vision was also pitch black. In the complete darkness, he could feel his heart beating faster.

Reed was fully alert to the dangers around him, when suddenly a hand grabbed his wrist.

Reed attacked instantly, but the opponent was one step faster and pushed Reed to the ground.

"it's me."

The girl's panting sounded beside Lid's ears. It was Shi Yuan's somewhat weak voice. Lid also lowered his voice and said:

"You are hurt."

Shi Yuan's body pressed against Lid's, and Lid could feel her breath carrying a different kind of heat than usual. Shi Yuan's voice seemed to carry a hint of complaint:

"I'm not healthy to begin with... I was hit by you just now." Lid let go of his hand and apologized obediently:

"Sorry, that was an automatic attack. It's too dark here, and I really didn't recognize you." Shi Yuan smiled and said:

"It's okay. I can't disobey you anyway. It's okay if you kill me..."

Her voice still contained a hint of reluctance, but in the end it turned into a sigh. Shi Yuan said:

"After the split, I didn't encounter any danger along the way. There was a sentence written at the end of the road, asking me to pay a price. I guessed that maybe the Abyss Ancestral Dragon was also disgusted with Kungu, and this price needed to be paid by me. After realizing this, I unconsciously cut my wrist, and the blood kept flowing. But later, your order of 'no suicide' took effect, and I regained consciousness. So I bandaged the wound, pushed down the wall, and came here."

Lid asked:

"Are you seriously injured?"

In the darkness, Shi Yuan smiled gently, not knowing whether it was because of the words of concern that Lid said to her.

She was still conflicted. Her mind was very clear that she was hypnotized to maintain her current state, but her body was unable to disobey Reed's orders. Just like now, when she was close to Reed, her heartbeat would unconsciously speed up and her breathing would become more and more rapid.

Shi Yuan replied:

"Don't worry, it's not a fatal injury, just very weak. How about you?"

As a smart man, Lid knew the point of her question and answered briefly: "I'm fine, but Fulei is still alive."

Shi Yuan whispered:

"It's not good news." Reed asked back:

"We can't get the Abyss Dragon right away? I still have her trust. Fulei allowed me to help her explore the way, which was actually tacitly allowing me to have the opportunity to contact the Abyss Dragon first. If we can get it first, we don't have to worry about being coerced by her force."

Shi Yuan was silent for a while and said:

"We are now standing on the Ancestral Dragon of the Abyss."

Lid was stunned for a moment, then turned sideways and heard a strong heartbeat coming from deep within the "earth".

Shi Yuan's voice sounded again:

"It's normal that you didn't notice it. I figured it out after exploring the surroundings for a long time. The Abyss Ancestral Dragon has been sealed here for too long. A large part of his body has long been integrated with the rocks and sand. This is why he can constantly corrode the ground and create many illusory spaces."

Lid turned his gaze back to Shi Yuan and asked:

"So, the Abyss Ancestral Dragon currently has no fighting ability? Hasn't the blood sacrifice outside been carried out yet?" Shi Yuan's tone was also somewhat confused:

"I guess the blood sacrifice has been completed. On the way in, I smelled the scent of blood soul. And from the perspective of the Dragon King, since it has gathered the core bloodlines of the six tribes, it should not drag it out. The current situation seems that the Ancestral Dragon of the Abyss has not accepted the blood soul, which means that it does not want to lift the seal."

Reed reached out and touched the "land" under his feet, which was the thick skin of the Abyss Dragon.

The rough surface had no temperature and was completely the same as normal ground. However, the heavy force continued to emanate, as if it was going to crush Lid and Shi Yuan.

Lid touched his chin and analyzed:

"It shouldn't be. All the previous signs show that the Abyss Ancestral Dragon was not sealed here voluntarily. It hates the void, and it hates Kungu, and maybe even the dragon clan, otherwise the mural wouldn't depict it trying to destroy the world. It is angry about everything here, so it would never accept its fate and be sealed here. The only explanation should be that it doesn't want to be awakened by people like us."

Shi Yuan's thoughts turned quickly, and she immediately replied:

"You mean, the Void may have left some restrictions? Indeed, the altar outside says 'The Abyss Dragon will be its minister'. Perhaps the Void has left some method to control the Abyss Dragon. Once the Abyss Dragon is awakened by you, it will be forced to become your slave. This is why it is unwilling to wake up."

Reed continued to think, looking for a solution to the current situation.

The current situation is not favorable for him. At the beginning, when they were in the virtual space, Lid and others did not feel hungry because their souls were separated from their bodies at that time, and the time they felt was very different from the time in reality. But once they arrived in the real place, all kinds of negative feelings of hunger, sleepiness and fatigue would follow. There was no water or food here. If they continued to drag on, everyone would die here.

As long as the Abyss Ancestral Dragon would rather die than suck the blood soul, it would not recover its strength. If it does not leave here, Lid and others will not be able to leave the abyss.

Although still sealed, Lid could even feel the ridicule of the Abyss Dragon. After all, it saw that the initiative was still in its hands. But did the Abyss Dragon really not want to unseal and leave?

Lid squatted down, put his hand on the body of the Abyss Ancestral Dragon, and said lightly:

"You can actually hear me, right? You've been watching us since we went down to the abyss."

The heart of the Abyss Ancestral Dragon was still beating. Lid ignored the laughter in the air and continued, "I believe you don't want to be locked up here forever. Let's make a deal."

This time, the cold and angry voice rang directly in Lid's mind:

"Trade? You, with me? Okay, then answer me first... Are you a usurper of the human race, or a vessel of God?"

62. You were once a monster that everyone feared

Before Reed could reply, he felt his consciousness falling into darkness.

It was a strange feeling. His body seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, like an adult gradually turning into a child, and then into a fetus. There was darkness in front of him, and it seemed that there was an endless ocean around him, and Lid was at the bottom of the sea. He couldn't breathe, couldn't open his eyes, and couldn't speak.

Just as he was wondering, a piercing pain suddenly spread throughout his body. It was not the pain of being cut by a knife or a gun, but the pain of all his internal organs being mixed together. He felt as if his heart had moved, and many organs that shouldn't have been there burst out in his chest, including gills, radulas, and clumps of things he didn't know what they were.

These organs repelled each other, which was as absurd as grafting a pig's head onto a willow tree, and made Reed feel extremely distressed.

Then, suddenly there was light. He opened his eyes and seemed to be lying on a table, surrounded by white light. He heard a deep voice:

"The experiment is born."

Lid looked down, but what he saw was not a human body. His brain gave the command to reach out, but what responded to him was not a human hand. Lid looked to the side, and what seemed to be a glass culture bottle reflected his appearance: it was an octopus with two human mouths on its body, and each tentacle had a black eye on its suction cup.

Reed felt dizzy and fell down. The voice beside him said again: "Experiment No. 1, survival time is two seconds."

This sentence seemed to announce Reed's death sentence. Reed closed his eyes and his consciousness fell into darkness again.

This time, his body underwent more strange changes, and the pain became more intense. Many times, Lid fainted from the pain, and then woke up again from the pain. This was a long process, and he could not die. He could only endure the pain until light appeared in front of his eyes again.

The same deep voice from last time sounded:
