"Then do you still remember the content of the letter?"
Yimansha, who hadn't held much hope originally, couldn't hide a trace of joy on her face when she heard her say this.
"This... Let me think..." Jolian pondered:
"Sorry, Leah, I let it out... The door couldn't hold it?"
"The letter seemed to say something like that. The rest of the part was torn off, and I can't quite remember too many details.
"But Lian and I met a monster with mouths all over its body in the ancient castle.
"Door? Torn apart, a monster full of mouths..." Yimansha nodded to her, and was just about to say something when she suddenly stopped.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Nothing... nothing." After thanking her, Yimansha left the room.
"Why is she so strange?" Jolian shrugged and continued to work on her weapon research.
Yimansha, who left the room, released Zuo Meng, who was trying to lick the ice with her tongue at the door:
"Do me a favor."
Zuo Meng: "???"
"You're daydreaming! Have you forgotten how you treated me just now!"
"Fine." Without any extra words, Yimansha pulled her luggage and left the guild again.
"Wait, is this the attitude of asking for help?" Zuo Meng directly jumped onto her suitcase:
"At least act cute or be coquettish. You'll suffer losses with this kind of personality in the future!"
"I... can't..."
I really admire you. Looking at the former with a cold face but saying the three words "I don't know" in an embarrassed tone, Zuo Meng suddenly felt a bit cute. What was going on?
"Tell me, what do you want me to help with?"
"Accompany me to the ancient castle in the [Forest of Tranquility]." Yimansha suddenly felt that the suitcase stopped moving and turned around to look at her in confusion.
"No, what are you doing going there for no reason! These few days are the [Resurrection Night]. That haunted forest is very dangerous!"
"I know, but I have to go..."
Seeing her serious look, Zuo Meng realized something and asked tentatively, "Is there a clue about the [Book of Endria]?"
"Um." Yimansha nodded. "I got news in the [Ruined Ancient Capital] that Leah once hid the clue about the location of the [Book of Endria] in the letter of apology he wrote to himself..."
"Just now I asked all the guild members who had taken the commission for the ancient castle, and only Qiao had an impression of the name Leah."
"So I want to go and take a look... hoping to find something..."
"Come on, just because of such a thin clue, is it worth you entering that haunted forest during the [Resurrection Night]? Leaving aside the authenticity of this news, if you can find this clue, don't you think those other people can't?"
"I don't mean to discourage you, but this really isn't worth it. If you really want to go, I'll accompany you after the [Resurrection Night], okay..."
Zuo Meng, who was in the middle of speaking, suddenly froze. She stared blankly as Yimansha lifted her shirt, revealing her abdomen covered with blue snowflakes.
"You... How did your magic backlash get this bad!"
"Um... Maybe I've encountered too many eyeballs recently..." Yimansha put down her clothes and couldn't help but recall that she lost control a few days ago and almost hurt Jolian.
"I really don't have much time left. Even if there's only a slim chance now, I want to give it a try..."
"Sigh~ Forget it, I'll reluctantly accompany you then. But I'm not helping for free. You have to treat me to red bean pies when we come back!"
Zuo Meng raised her little hand and shot a flowing white light at the former.
"This is the [Arc of Delay]. It can temporarily help you slow down the worsening of the backlash. Promise me that you won't be reckless if you encounter eyeball monsters again!"
"Zuo Meng, thank you!"
"Hey! Don't thank me with a blank face!"
Three days later, Jolian finally created the complete form of the Bio - Armor - Rite of Huaji!
Looking at the white armor in her hand, she couldn't wait to find someone to test its power!
But who should she find?
Looking at the people outside the window who were idle, she suddenly caught sight of that bright pink hair in the sunlight.
"Lian!" She called out to the outside.
The nervous Wumu Lian was immediately startled, thinking that that crazy woman was coming again.
"Oh, it's Qiao. What's up?"
"Find you to help me test the power of the Rite of Huaji!" Saying that, Jolian directly rolled over and jumped down from the window.
"Fuck! Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?" The pink - haired girl was startled again and quickly ran over to catch her.
But the latter seemed to have a paraglider on her back and landed slowly.
"Uh... Don't tell me this is also a function of that big sword of yours?"
Wumu Lian swallowed. In her eyes before, alchemists and alchemical weapons...
Were suicidal maniacs and useless things.
Now, after getting to know Jolian, in her eyes, alchemists and alchemical weapons...
Were people with strange heads and things she couldn't use even if she knew how?
She was really confused. Where did Qiao get so many strange design ideas?
"Sort of, but it was added later. I felt that if the Rite of Huaji became huge, I might not be able to hold it, so I installed a body gravity - reversing magic array for myself!"
"You're really something. But I remember that thing is usually installed on train wheels... So you're equivalent to a wheel?"
After chatting casually for a while, the two ran to a small forest outside the city to test the weapon.
Don't ask why they didn't go to the dueling arena. They still haven't paid off the money for the damage they caused last time.
"Let's stop here." Jolian unfolded her big sword and looked at Wumu Lian, ready to go.
"Okay." The pink - haired girl moved her wrists, and black - red flames slowly rose. "Be careful, Qiao ~ A mage's close - combat ability is really strong!"
After saying that, she rushed out like a sharp sword.
Jolian stood sideways, her feet crossing as if dancing the flamenco, and she raised her hand to parry with a half - moon upward - slashing move.
"Bang!"
The black - red flames collided with the blue blade.
The two separated immediately.
Jolian changed her moves at lightning speed. Taking advantage of the force from the opponent's attack, she bent down and chased with a side - slash...
"Xiao Qiao, who taught you these moves? Why does it look like you're dancing?"
After dozens of moves, Wumu Lian fell into deep thought again.
Was she this weak? Not only did she suffer in long - range attacks, but she also hit a wall in her good - at close - combat?
What was even more annoying was Jolian. She swung her sword gracefully throughout the whole process. Not only did it look good, but the rhythm was also airtight.
On the other hand, for herself, except for the first move which seemed decent, the following moves were as chaotic as a teddy bear humping a tree. She was beaten without any logic at all.
Was this reasonable? She felt that she was the alchemist who was not good at fighting!
Xiao'an: "Maybe I'm just more talented..."
After all, she was originally a combat - type android. Was there anything wrong with knowing a lot of things?
There was nothing wrong!
Just like that, the two stopped their比试.
Although neither of them used their full strength, the purpose of the test had been achieved.
If they continued to fight, they would have to pay for damages again!
"Xiao Qiao, are we good buddies?" The pink - haired girl put her arm around Jolian's shoulder and asked.
"What's up?"
"Do you know any good - looking boxing techniques? Teach me, please!"
(PS: Do you want to know how Jolian swings her sword? Cuties can refer to the normal attacks of the Wave - Eroded Knight.)
