The dark cave seemed very deep.
Roland controlled three magic spiders and got in.
Under the dim vision of the magic spider, Roland could see that the cave walls were all made of crystals.
It's just that there is no light in the cave, so naturally there is no colorful beauty like the crystals on the ground.
The spider quickly crawled into the depths of the cave. Roland looked a little surprised when he saw what was going on inside.
After playing the game for five years, he has seen most things in this world, even the gods, and there are not many things that can surprise him.
But the scene in front of him was still beyond his expectation.
This is just an underground room, which is quite spacious. There are many experimental equipments in it, all kinds of, and there are some wooden furniture at the end, which looks very simple.
This was nothing. What really surprised Roland was that there was a simple wooden bed at the end of the cave with a quilt on it and a person lying on his side.
This man's appearance was clearly that of Yabo Suo whom he had seen before.
Or rather, a man who looked almost exactly like Yabotso.
As if he felt Roland's gaze, the man sat up from his bed. He flicked his fingers and glanced at the three spiders. Finally, he looked at the middle one and said with a smile: "You finally came here, let me It’s been a long wait.”
The sounds and images were transmitted back to Roland's mind almost simultaneously.
His expression became colder.
The other party knows me, is it really Yabotso
And the other party seems to know that he will come
Now he felt that he seemed to be entangled in something invisible and intangible like 'fate'.
The last time I felt like this was when I was getting along with Mordenkainen in the branch of time.
After a while, as if he knew that Roland had not moved, the man sitting in the bed continued: "Come in, you are the son of gold, and I can't kill you. I have something I want to talk to you about."
The other person's tone was sincere.
Roland is still thinking about it.
It is true that the Golden Son is not afraid of death, but now he is at level 13. He will lose at least one level every time he dies, and it will take at least half a year to a year to get back to training again.
The problem is huge.
After a while, the person suspected of being Yabosuo coughed for a while and said, "Come in, I really have no intention of harming you. I can hardly control these magic crystals."
Well... Roland decided to take a gamble.
But bets are bets, Roland still took protective measures, put a magic shield on himself, and some buff magic before going in.
However, he knew that this was just psychological comfort. The other party had the Great Disintegration Technique, and no matter how powerful the magic buffs and magic equipment were, it was useless.
Unless it is divine equipment.
For example... the button of the Goddess of Life, or the Scythe of Hades.
These require divine power to destroy them.
After being prepared, Roland used the White Cloud Technique to fly above the cave and then got in.
This sea of magic crystals caused magic chaos in the sky above it, and even gave the flowing magic power the power to invade.
This is also the reason why those small animals that stray in will crystallize.
However, mages are very resistant to this kind of invasion. After all, they rely on controlling magic power to make a living.
After entering the cave, Roland raised the lighting ball, touched the smooth crystal wall, and moved forward slowly. After about ten minutes, he arrived at the end of the cave.
I saw Yabotsuo who was sitting on the bed, looking weak and pale.
In Spider's night vision mode, the screen is light green, so it's difficult to see other people's faces clearly.
"Thank you for trusting me and being willing to come in." Yabosuo smiled and tried to stand up, but he only stood halfway and sat back down. After breathing for a while, he said weakly: "Sorry, no. I have a way to entertain you politely."
Roland frowned: "You're not dead... I clearly feel that your soul has disappeared."
"Yeah, my other half has indeed disappeared, so I'm going to disappear too."
Yabosuo's smile was a little helpless.
Roland was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Did you cut your soul into two pieces?"
"Yes." Yabosuo nodded.
Roland felt his head hurt.
How to put it... Although the soul can be 'regenerated' and become stronger, it is unique.
In other words, there cannot be two identical souls in this world.
Even if you cut the soul in half, even if the two halves 'regenerate' after a period of time, they will be about the same size as before, or the same strength.
They can't be considered to have become two souls, they can only be said to be more powerful, half a soul.
If one of the souls dies, the other half will not last long.
It is somewhat similar to a state of quantum entanglement.
Unless you are very proficient in soul magic like a lich and can repair and regenerate half of your soul in a short time.
Roland clicked his tongue: "You can regenerate your own soul. You were once a demigod. Don't tell me you can't do it."
"It really can't be done." Yabosuo said helplessly, "Because I am the soul of a sub-personality."
Roland was really shocked now.
Because until just now, he thought that the Yabotso whom he beat to death was the secondary soul.
After all, no matter what you think... it's wrong. How could a demigod fall in love with an ordinary storm priest
Even if you really like it, the most it can do is send a secondary soul to repay the favor.
But if that is the main soul, then it makes sense why this soul cannot survive.
"I can't understand," Roland's eyebrows almost twisted into knots: "Why the main soul is exposed outside, but the secondary soul is hiding here to practice magic."
"Because I truly fell in love with that woman. Of course I wanted to let my soul live with her."
Roland shrugged. Although he didn't speak, he didn't really believe it in his heart.
"I can see that you don't believe what I said." Yabosuo said with a sad smile: "You haven't seen the old woman when she was young. Let me show you."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hands and flicked them gently.
Roland subconsciously took two steps back, on guard.
But Yabosuo did not use attack magic. A mist appeared between the two of them, and then a magical light was projected into it. Soon, a girl with pink hair and a slender body and beautiful appearance appeared in the mist.
Mental Power Projection Imaging... Advanced mental power application skills.
Roland can't do it now.
The main reason is that the level is not enough.
Once you reach the legendary level, there should be no problem.
At this time, Roland was still praising the opponent's superb mental control skills in his heart, but then his expression became a little weird.
Because the girl who appeared in the mist looked very, very familiar to Roland.
A young version of Mythra, the goddess of magic.
But no, the two are just very similar... If there is any difference, it is the thickness of the front armor.
The front armor of the girl in front of her was obviously not thick enough.
As a result, Roland became even more confused.
"Do you like Mythra?" Roland couldn't help his curiosity and asked, "Then why did you stop her when she became a god?"
"Now that she has become a god, I am no longer worthy of her." Yabosuo laughed and said: "At that time, I was young and energetic, and extremely proud. Although I liked her, I was unwilling to express my feelings to her."
Roland understood that just like a little boy who likes a little girl, the way to show it is to pull the latter's pigtails.
So... emotional education is really important.
"Fifty years ago, I was awakened from the sealed land by her. My first reaction at that time was that Mythra understood my feelings and came back to me." Yabosuo's face was full of happiness, and his tone Extremely gentle: "Although I later found out that she was not Mythra, I felt that she was more lovable than Mythra. I was very happy every day when I lived with her. For this reason, I am willing to become an ordinary person." A man who uses illusions to disguise his appearance. He grows old with her."
Roland knew that because of the uniqueness of the soul, the two Yabotos could share their memories and feelings in real time even if they were thousands of miles apart.
"You are about to die, why did you call me, an enemy?" Roland asked in confusion. He now had no interest in Yabotso's emotional problems.
"I didn't ask you to come here." Yabosuo said with a smile: "Two months ago, I didn't know you at all. It was the remaining strength in your body that prompted you to come here."
Roland was stunned for a moment, a large number of pieces of information flashed through his mind, and then he asked slowly: "The Great Wishing Technique?"
Yabosuo smiled wonderfully.
Seeing him like this, Roland calmed down and felt the state of his physical and mental strength. Sure enough, he found that the obscure magical power was wrapping around his body.
It even has a certain cognitive shielding effect.
If I hadn't been specifically awakened by someone, I wouldn't have been able to realize this.
Now, there are only three people who can unknowingly plant this kind of power in Roland.
Goddess of Life, Nia and Mystra.
The first two are unnecessary... because they are not familiar with Yabotso at all, and there is no need to kill him.
Then only Mythra has a reason to do this.
And last time in the Magical God Realm, Mythra gave Roland a blessing of unknown meaning. It is estimated that the great wishing spell was mixed in at that time.
But Roland was not angry or angry.
So what if the goddess of magic, Mythra, casts a wish-making spell on herself, it may not be a bad intention.
And... you trust what an enemy says and immediately feel that there is something wrong with your friend
No fool would do this.
Seeing that Roland was unmoved, Yabotso sighed: "Well, it seems that you trust Mystra more, but that is indeed the case."
"Well, since you are about to die, tell me the reason why you asked me to come here." Roland said.
"Have you seen those chaotic magic crystals outside?"
Roland nodded.
"That was caused by the loss of control of the laws I control." As Yabosuo spoke, he vomited blood again. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve indifferently and continued: "Do you want my law-level ability? ?”
Roland was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "I'm quite interested."
"Then do me a favor." Yabosuo said with difficulty: "Take my granddaughter away. You can consider her as an adopted daughter, or you can give her to someone you trust to raise her. I want her to become a daughter-in-law in the future." A powerful mage."
"Taking her away from her parents?" Roland shook his head vigorously: "This is too cruel."
"I know my son very well, or in other words, he is not my biological son."
Roland looked at each other with a subtle look.
You, a demigod-level mage, are so happy to be cheated on by others.
Even a dog licker can't be so humble.
"Since that is not your biological son, then she is not your biological granddaughter. Don't be so concerned."
"What if she is actually my biological daughter?" Yabosuo smiled miserably.
Roland understood immediately, and he showed a horrified expression: "You are playing too wildly."
"The old woman did something sorry for me once when she was young, but she still loved me. It was just an accident and she didn't want it. After thinking about this, I endured it, but the more I endured, the angrier I became." Yabo Suo Hehe laughed: "Although I forgave her, I just couldn't calm down the anger in my heart. So, I did something sorry for her two years ago as revenge. This way we are even, right?"
"I still think your relationship is too complicated." Roland shook his head.
"What you don't understand is that if you want to live a good life, you have to be more open-minded." Yabosuo covered his chest with his hand: "Tell me, can you help me?"
Roland still shook his head: "But her nominal father is still your son after all, and her biological mother is your daughter-in-law. It is too cruel to take a child away from his parents."
"I know very well the character of the child I raised. His instinct is to be mean, unfeeling and selfish. He doesn't have much sense of responsibility for his eldest son, let alone his youngest daughter." Yabotso's voice became weaker and weaker: "After I die, , the old woman’s heart will probably be half dead, and she will no longer care about family affairs. My nominal granddaughter, my biological daughter, will definitely live a miserable life in the future. "
Roland was still reluctant.
"Then let it be like this."
Yabosuo used up his last energy and magic power to condense a white ball of light in front of him, and then pushed it towards Roland.
This light group is very warm and does not appear to have any lethality.
Wait for it to float in front of you. Roland touched it lightly with his hand, and the system responded immediately.
'Unowned special expertise detected, is it attractive? '
absorb!
Roland instinctively clicked OK.
A wave of warmth ran through his body, and then he discovered that he had a new specialty.
Magic crystal: Magic power will flow in the form of liquid crystals in your body, greatly increasing your magic power capacity and magic power operation efficiency. The magic power recovery speed is +40%, and the additional magic power limit is 'character level x 50'.
Roland's level is now Lv13, and his magic capacity has suddenly increased by 650 points.
"Thank you for being willing to absorb it. You can go home and observe my family for a while. If they are really not good to her..." Yabosuo gradually closed his eyes: "It's not too late for you to take her away..."
Exhaling his last breath, Yabotso slowly collapsed on his chest.
It turned out that he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but he also gave away his demigod-level expertise. If he can persist until now, he is already very powerful.
At this point his soul is dissipating.
Most mages are unwilling to hang on the Wall of the Faithless, so they choose to destroy their souls when they die.
Roland was silent for a while, helped the man tidy up his remains, and covered him with a quilt.
Just as he was about to leave the cave, a familiar suction force brought him to the Kingdom of Magic.
Mythra with long pink hair was right in front of him, looking at him happily.
"Great, you finally took out that disgusting bastard Yabotso."
Roland looked at her and asked with a smile: "What is the content of the great wishing spell you used on me?"
