There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

"What about me and Xia..." Domi asked quickly.

"Not urgent."

"Ah this..."

"But I allow her to come back once a week."

"It's not safe to go back and forth, so let me go instead."

The queen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she immediately understood Duomi's intention and became a little more satisfied with her future son-in-law, but only to this extent.

Safety is one thing. In fact, Domi also has his own plans. What if Xia comes over on the day when his curse strikes, and she sees them together at night? Wouldn't that make her even more worried?

After comprehensive consideration, it is better to hold the initiative in your own hands.

"That's fine."

Natiyavida nodded in agreement, then turned and left.

But before he had walked far, he suddenly stopped, turned around as if he remembered something and said, "Come to my place next time you come back, okay?"

Domi nodded like a chicken: "Yeah! I will definitely remember it!"

Chapter 255 The Queen's Gift

Chapter 255-254- The Queen's Gift

The group's first magic press conference came to a successful conclusion. Each of their names made headlines in major newspapers in a very short period of time and became the object of praise from the entire society.

The GPA bonus from Kalia College was also soon distributed. It was a large scholarship, enough for them not to worry about the rent of the laboratory for four years.

After the press conference, the entire college will usher in the winter vacation in December. Everyone will go home and the laboratory will become deserted.

After staying at home with his family for a few days, Domi set off for the royal city, intending to meet Xia and accept the Queen's appointment. Although he didn't know what she wanted to do...

"Ha... If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Of course the most precious things should be saved for last, so Domi was now standing in front of the gate of the Queen's bedroom. After making mental preparations, he finally asked the guard who had been standing there for a while to report.

The other party ran back quickly, and the white breath he exhaled was very conspicuous in the cold air:

"Lord Blofeld, the Queen invites you in."

"Ah."

Domi pulled his coat closer and followed the guard who led the way into a place he had been to once before, but this was the first time without Xia's company.

Then he met the queen under the small marble pavilion in the garden. Even on a cold winter day when no one was around, she still liked to stay in the garden at the door. Beside the white jade platform, a maid was filling two cups with steaming hot black tea.

"You're here Dominic, a little later than I expected."

She was wearing a snow-white mink cloak, with her long brown hair tied up and draped in front of her. Her slender hands gently twisted the handle, and she looked so quiet and elegant against the backdrop of the falling snow.

Duomi walked into the pavilion and brushed off the snow on his shoulders: "I'm sorry for staying at home for a few more days..."

"It's good to be with your family. I won't bother with you this time. Please sit down."

Domi sat face to face with her.

"I heard from Carlos that you seem to want to become stronger quickly?"

"?"

Seeing Domi's confused expression, Natiya Vida was also puzzled. Wasn't it him who told Carlos? Then it must be someone else...

Domi also reacted quickly, probably thinking it was Agyel who said that to Carlos.

When they were talking about the curse on their bodies on the balcony, he said that if they could kill the Lord of the Underworld, the curse would be lifted naturally.

According to Argyle's character, he absolutely could not bear to watch him trapped in the painful curse, so it is very likely that he used the method of "saving the country by a roundabout way", telling Carlos that he needed strength, and then letting Carlos find a way to make him stronger, so that he can be one step closer to killing the Lord of the Underworld.

From another perspective, it also helped him.

But there is no need to spread this to Natiya Vida...

Domi quickly admitted this before Natiyavida was too embarrassed.

There's nothing wrong with it.

"Well... that's good. This way I won't have worked in vain." She turned her head slightly and said, "Call him over."

After the maid bowed and left, she entered the bedroom. After a while, a man came out.

Domi also looked over and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The man was tall and thin, with short messy black hair. There was a scar on his knife-like face that ran diagonally across his entire face, which destroyed most of his original handsomeness and made him look more hideous.

In the snowy weather, he was only wearing a thin long-sleeved black jacket, which was not buttoned yet, so the cold wind could blow directly on him.

He was wearing long trousers and high leather boots, with a long sheathed knife on his waist. He looked like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, giving people an extraordinary sense of oppression.

Extremely strong...

However, what really shocked Domi was not his strength, but the energy hidden in him and the knife.

Others may not be able to detect it, but Domi can sense it immediately. That is the breath of soul-devouring energy!

This man is also a soul eater like him!

Just as Domi saw through his true colors, the other party's expression also moved slightly, but he still walked into the pavilion calmly.

"Is this guy the one you were talking about?"

The man's voice seemed gloomy and without any emotion, and he didn't seem to be very interested in Nadiavida's position as queen.

Natiyavida nodded and said, "That's right, Dominic, you are eager to become stronger, so follow this man, he will teach you."

Domi didn't bother to think about who this man was or what his identity was in the normal world. Instead, he looked at Natiya Vida:

"Why are you doing this for me?"

She just drank a sip of tea slowly and said, "This is the only way to protect Xia, right? This way I don't have to worry about that little girl all day long."

"Don't let me down, Dominic. I paid a lot for this guy."

This "disappointment" probably includes both the former and the latter.

After a moment of silence, Duomi said, "I will definitely not let you down."

After that, he stood up and faced the terrifying man: "Then... Teacher, please whip me as much as you want!"

"Don't be so anxious to admit the relationship. I haven't admitted it yet. Does anyone have the qualifications to be my student?"

He has a pair of dead fish eyes, and no matter what expression he makes, people feel that he is despising them.

But is Domi such an impatient person?

"Then I will try my best to make you recognize me, teacher."

"Oh, really? Don't just talk nonsense. If you start yelling that you can't take it anymore, I will make you spend the rest of the winter vacation in a coma."

"I try my best……"

"Go away, you unambitious boy. You will regret training with me."

"Um... can you wait a moment? I have something else to do."

The man gave him five minutes, starting the count from the moment he finished speaking, and said that if he didn't come back after the time limit, he wouldn't have to come back.

He pulled out his pocket watch and said, "You have 4 minutes and 57 seconds."

Damn it! This guy is serious!

Domi didn't dare to waste even a second, and rushed to Xia's bedroom at the fastest speed, regardless of any means.

Looking at Domi who was quickly disappearing from his sight, a little light appeared in the man's calm eyes for the first time.

"This kid... might be quite interesting."

Natiya Vida was drinking tea leisurely with a smile on her face:

"I don't know if he looks quite like you when you were young."

"Huh? That's not a role model worth learning from. He's just a jerk."

"Really? I think it's pretty good."

After looking at Natiyavida, the man chose to remain silent.

Chapter 256 Dark Star

Chapter 256-255- Dark Star

Only Domi and Xia knew what happened between them in those five minutes. Onlookers only knew that the black cat that had been following Domi had disappeared, probably because it was left in Xia's care.

After coming out of the palace, the man put his hands in his pockets and said with a rather mocking smile: "You are so young and you have already learned how to flirt like adults?"

"What do you mean by flirting? That's an agreement!" Domi corrected seriously.

"What agreement? Tell me about it~"

"I won't tell you."

"Forget it... By the way, I'm telling you in advance that you don't need to bring any luggage with you for this special training. Just throw your suitcase away. It's very troublesome."

Domi was straightforward and threw the carriage out without hesitation for a second.

The man nodded appreciatively for the time being. In the future, at least until the end of the winter vacation, he could save a lot of trouble.

-

The biting cold wind whistled past my ears, visibility was extremely poor, and everything I saw was white.

At this time, Domi and the mysterious man whose name was still unknown had arrived at the northernmost part of the main continent, further north than the Northern Republic.

The towering snow-capped mountains are connected to the city, like a natural barrier between the main continent and the mysterious sea.

For some reason, the climate suddenly became extremely cold just a little bit beyond the northern border. The average temperature is conservatively estimated to be around minus 60 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the average temperature of Antarctica on Earth. I'm afraid even the authentic northerners would not be able to adapt to it.

Domi tried to shoot a stream of water from his fingertips, but it turned into a popsicle as soon as it came out. So he decided to use it as a trekking pole.

He looked up at the man's back while leaning on his popsicle trekking pole, but he was still walking on his own. The only connection between the two was the soul-devouring energy bond tied around each other's waists.

Even in an environment of minus 60 degrees, he was only wearing a shirt. No wonder he felt a little hot when he arrived at the royal city...

After the two walked a few kilometers up the mountain, the man suddenly stopped and said with his back to Duomi:

"Originally, when Natiyavida entrusted me to whip you, I was planning to use the conventional method, but boy, you have the same power as me, which made me change my mind temporarily."

Hearing this, Domi raised his head again with difficulty. The ponytail on the back of his head and the animal hair he was wearing were dancing in the wind, and his eyes were almost closed by the snowflakes.

"You and I are both soul eaters abandoned by the world, hiding in this world in fear. Logically, I should teach you everything so that the few 'companions' I have have a higher chance of survival."

"But, even if a weak person gains power, he is still a weak person. You don't want to fail at the last moment, and neither do I."

He slowly turned his head, looking down at Duomi with dead fish eyes, and his voice was just like the whistling cold wind: "If you want to learn everything about Soul Devouring from me, then prove to me how powerful you are."

"Take off your entire shirt."

Domi swallowed his saliva, not because of fear, but because of excitement. Everything about Soul Devourer was exactly what he wanted most!

"Don't you dare..."

Seeing that Domi seemed to be hesitating, the man couldn't help but show disappointment in his eyes.

But the next second, Domi seemed to wake up from his daze. He took off his cotton jacket without hesitation, threw it up, and let the cold wind blow it away.

He is already thirteen years old this year, but his body proportions and muscle distribution are extremely perfect, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye. Even men can't help but be a little envious. They can't imagine how many women will chase after this boy when he grows up.

No... those people should have been secretly dealt with by Natiyavida's adopted daughter...

If one was deceived by the girl's appearance, he would surely die a miserable death. He had seen it by chance.

In a dark corner of the palace, she stabbed a noble child to death with a dagger and a gloomy face. For some unknown reason, she then covered everything up. It was so perfect that even the queen herself probably didn't know about it.

The man faced forward again and started walking: "Keep going, don't stop."

The two continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.

It has to be said that the temperature of minus sixty degrees is not very fatal to Domi now, because he can rely on the energy in his body to continuously provide himself with warmth through breathing conversion. However, his energy reserves are also rapidly consumed. If he wants to absorb external energy at full power, he will also absorb the cold wind. It is simply a vicious circle!

So how did he do it?

Domi was still holding on, but the distance to the top of the snow mountain was still immeasurable. They might not even reach the halfway point of the mountain.
