Xia Nuo was a little uncomfortable being stared at, but he still managed to calm down, pretending that they didn't exist.
His every move was watched, so when he saw that he only threw in ten magic crystals at a time, discussions arose.
"Just once? Isn't he too confident?"
"Maybe people are just nervous?"
"I see Xuan, isn't this magic crystal going to waste?"
Most of the voices were skeptical. Players in this world don't believe in the saying that a single draw can produce miracles. The possibility of being able to summon a monster is extremely low if there is no ten consecutive rounds.
Of course, even with ten companies, this possibility has not been significantly improved.
However, there are also people who disagree with them.
"Don't draw conclusions so early, have you guys forgotten about the mermaid?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone closed their mouths resentfully.
Among those who spoke just now, there are many who have been slapped in the face by Xia Nuo before.
But this can't be blamed on them, who knows what method the boy used to become the guest of the mermaid
But after someone reminded them, they also remembered that the task that the young man took before should have been completed, right? The reward for the one hundred magic crystals should also be in hand.
It stands to reason that he should have no shortage of magic crystals on hand, but now he only throws ten into the holy spring...
Is it because he doesn't know the unspoken rules of Shilian, or...is he really so confident
Thinking of this, the onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath, and looked at the holy spring emitting a faint light.
Almost in a moment, a light white light lit up, and everyone's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and the eyes they looked at the boy became more complicated.
This sign means that a monster has responded to the boy's call. Regardless of the strength of the monster, this step taken by the young man has long since left those players who couldn't even successfully summon them by a large margin.
Black feathers fluttered down one after another, and a handsome man emerged from the rays of light, with black hair and blue eyes, and the curved horns on his head gave him an evil and dangerous aura.
As soon as he appeared, both players and monsters around him felt a terrifying coercion, which made them judge the man's identity in an instant—this is a powerful high-level monster!
Some players were secretly shocked. He had seen the contracted high-level monster before, and it was recognized that the most powerful high-level monster summoned by the player did not have such a terrifying aura!
It is no exaggeration to say that he felt that this monster was countless times stronger than the so-called strongest!
With such a powerful monster, can the boy really successfully sign a contract with him
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but stare at their every move with their eyes wide open.
Then they saw the monster slowly burst into a gentle smile: "Finally, I have a chance to ask this question again."
"Chang'an, are you willing to be my master and sign a contract with me?"
…
The crowd of onlookers in the square dispersed slowly, and many people were still in a daze, as if they hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
A player who received the news but came late asked: "How is it? Have you summoned a monster? Signed a contract... Huh? Why do you look like this?"
As if by a big blow like.
The person being questioned looked at him with dull eyes, until the player panicked, and then he uttered five words with difficulty: "Son of Destiny..."
When have they ever seen a monster rushing to recognize the master's contract? And it's still such an unimaginably powerful monster? People can't help but wonder if there is some kind of special magical power in the boy.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that the boy is the son of destiny.
And the gap is so big that people can't even have a little bit of jealousy, they can only feel that people are more angry than others.
Xia Nuo didn't know that he had become a "Child of Destiny" in the eyes of other players. He rubbed the contract on the back of his hand and looked at it curiously.
The method of signing the contract was very simple. After he answered the man's question and said "yes", a tattoo representing the establishment of the contract appeared on the back of his hand.
The color of the tattoo is purple, and it looks like concentric circles stacked on top of each other, with a huge eye in the middle.
Xia Nuo inadvertently met that eye, as if seeing it blink slightly.
But when he took a closer look, he didn't find anything unusual.
On the back of Korolik's hand, there is also a tattoo in the same position, but it is different from the tattoo on the back of the boy's hand. His tattoo is an oval, with various patterns decorated on the periphery.
"This is... a mirror?" The man looked at the tattoo carefully and said with some uncertainty.
"What mirror?" Xia Nuo leaned over to look, but saw that the tattoo should be where the mirror should be, and there were circles of ripples.
Then, a boy exactly like him appeared in the ripples.
"Chang'an? How did you come up with such a name for yourself?" asked the man who couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a white coat, and his voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"I heard that this is the name of a human city, a thousand-year-old capital, right?" The boy in the mirror tilted his head and asked seriously.
The man lit the lighter with a snap, and the curl of smoke rose. He nodded indifferently: "Yes. But when are you going to come out of the mirror?"
The boy didn't know what to answer, the man gave an irritated "tsk", stopped asking about this topic, and instead took out three playing cards.
Diamond j, spade q, club k.
"Which one do you like?"
Almost without hesitation, the boy pointed to the spade Q in the middle: "This! This looks like a mirror!"
The man raised his eyebrows, as if he had expected the answer, he handed the q of spades to the young man, took the j of diamonds himself, and put away the remaining playing card.
"Three playing cards represent three supervisors, but now there are only you and me." The man casually stared at the playing cards in his hand, "I don't know who is the last one, so unlucky, I don't even have to pick .”
But soon, he changed the subject and asked again: "To be honest, you'd better come out earlier, what's so good in the mirror?"
He threw out a very tempting bait: "If you come out, I will take you to the game. Recently, a very difficult world appeared, called "The Bride in the Deep House"..."
…
"Chang'an?"
Xia Nuo was taken aback, he looked at the monster that woke him up, his eyes were still a little dazed.
Just now…
He didn't see everything from the perspective of a bystander, but seemed to appear in the boy's body and experienced the conversation himself.
and…
He moved his fingers a little uneasily. In his game package, a Q of spades was lying quietly inside.
I don't know why, but the man handed it to the boy in the mirror, but after taking it, it appeared in his hands inexplicably, and it was judged to be an item of unknown grade, and it was directly included in the package.
Besides, what happened to the inspector mentioned in the conversation between the boy and the man
What is the relationship between him and the boy who looks exactly like him? Could it be that they are the same person
Xia Nuo's mind was in a mess, and he felt that he had encountered a huge mystery.
Just as he was struggling, he felt a weight on the top of his head. The man put his hand on it and was rubbing the top of his hair. Xia Nuo subconsciously protected his head: "No, this is the hair I combed with great difficulty!"
It was with great difficulty that he tied up his hair, and it was completely messed up when the man rubbed it.
The young man's frowning expression finally disappeared, and the man finally relaxed, and pinched the young man's soft cheeks instead: "Why were you worrying just now?"
"Hmm..." Xia Nuo hesitated for a while, then looked at the tattoo on the man's hand, "Why are our tattoos different? Do they have any special meaning?"
After much deliberation, he still decided to start with tattoos, after all, he saw that scene because of tattoos.
The man raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Because the contract acts on the soul, it is a direct reflection of the soul."
"ah?"
Xia Nuo's eyes widened in surprise. Could it be that his soul is a mirror
"However, because the soul is an illusory thing, it is difficult to describe it with real objects, so this image is not completely accurate."
However, the possibility of error is also very small, basically equal to zero.
The man didn't say that.
"But you said it was a mirror just now, right?" Xia Nuo remembered what the monster said at the beginning.
"Yes, what it is often depends on the first impression." The man nodded, "When I saw it, I thought it was a mirror."
But this is also a little strange, he thought that the boy... should be a pure human being, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Shano: "..."
The possibility that he is the same boy in the mirror is increasing.
But the Overseer... how could he be the Overseer
Although he didn't know the identity of the supervisors, he had heard of their great reputation.
The well-known one among players is "k", he is a typical inspirational legend, as for "j" and "q", he has never heard of it.
He couldn't help but sighed deeply, feeling himself being drawn in.
He didn't know who to turn to for the news, and Krorick couldn't help much...
But it was impossible for Xia Nuo to let this mystery remain unsolved, especially the mystery that had a lot to do with him.
Something about the Overseer...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xia Nuo's mind, and he remembered the rows of bookshelves in the system space. He remembered flipping through them when he was bored, and there seemed to be an introduction about the Overseer!
Xia Nuo cheered up all of a sudden, he couldn't wait to go back to the system space to check that book!
But the most urgent thing is to clear the game first.
Xia Nuo thought so, and immediately resorted to action: "Korolik, let's find the seeds of the Moonlight Tree now!"
He wants to leave this maze now!
The monster was a little surprised by the boy's such a huge change, but he was also happy to see the boy cheer up, so he took out the small light golden square and pressed it lightly.
There was a momentary distortion in the space, and Xia Nuo couldn't help but tightly grasped the monster's hand, allowing the monster to wrap him tightly with its wings.
In a whirl, he didn't notice that the playing card of the Queen of Spades in the package lit up.
…
Their eyes were full of green, and they landed on a lush field.
Being hugged by a man's strong arms, although it was not the first time, Xia Nuo's body became stiff, and he opened his mouth: "Meow?"
The author has something to say: A chapter full of information, and paying attention to the game that the man mentioned, where Nono and the boss really met for the first time, is also the content to be written in the next world.
