Chapter 2641: Xixia
As Xixia appeared, the dark fog around them seemed to be dispersing rapidly. However, the fog only dissipated about 20 meters with Xixia as the center, and the farther away was still dark.
But the space that was dissipated made Angel raise his eyebrows slightly.
Originally, I thought that this dark fog was a desolate land, but I didn't expect that the construction here was quite exquisite.
The floor was a smooth marble surface with a grid pattern, and there were several elegant stone pillars around that looked simple but carved with dark patterns. And above their heads were palace-level carvings and colored windows.
Although the center of the spire was covered by fog, Angel could basically guess the situation here.
"I thought this space was a void-like consciousness space. But I didn't expect to be able to summon this source fire, which is impossible for consciousness space. So is this a real space?" Angel said while looking around: "It's as exquisite as a palace, but there is another world under the skin. This kind of alchemical smell can't be covered up."
Angel said this and looked at Xixia: "Am I in your body now?"
Xixia: "Rather than the term 'body', I would rather hear the full name - Xixia Box."
"Wai has also entered your... well, Xixia Box before. In his perception, a long time has passed, but we didn't see Wai leave outside, and he reacted quickly. Why is this? Is it the ability of Xixia Box? Is it related to time?" Angel asked curiously.
If it is really related to time, it is really a pleasant surprise. Angel has always wanted to study alchemical props related to time, but he has never seen it so far.
In the illustrated book drawn by Kuroli, he saw a mysterious thing related to time: the time postcard. The effect is to send a postcard to someone at a certain time in the future, and the postcard can be attached with an ability for the future recipient to use for a short time.
Unfortunately, this mysterious object has already been owned and is currently stored in the Order Guild. As for mysterious objects related to time, even if their Hoopa coefficient is not high, the Order Guild will basically not use them, let alone lend them to others for research.
Looking at Angel's curious eyes, Xixia snorted lightly, did not answer immediately, but walked past Angel. Then, four or five meters away, a tall throne made of deep fog glass and dark ice crystals was erected.
Xixia stepped onto the five steps, gently swung her gauze skirt, and sat on the throne with great momentum.
Until Xixia sat down and looked at Angel from a condescending angle, she slowly said: "Time ability? It seems that you don't know enough about the ability of the prophecy system. The fact that you can ask this question can only show your ignorance."
Not the ability of time? Is it the ability of the prophecy system? Although Angel didn't know what ability of the prophecy system it was, Xixia shouldn't lie to him about it.
Since it had nothing to do with time ability, Angel's curiosity also faded.
"I admit my ignorance." Angel looked up at Xixia who was sitting in a high position and smiled gently: "After all, I'm not even twenty years old yet."
Originally, Xixia wanted to suppress Angel's arrogance by using the throne and overlooking, but Angel seemed to have no perception at all. At the same time, he said "I'm less than twenty years old" again, instantly breaking the defense of Xixia who didn't want to remember how long she had lived.
At the age of twenty, Xixia was still a "child" protected in an ivory tower by her parents.
On the other side, Angel, who was less than twenty years old, was as cunning as a fox. He had no fear during the conversation, and he held the most critical source fire for the entire Baiyuan clan.
In comparison, Xixia's first half of her life might not have been as excellent as Angel's.
Thinking of this, Xixia felt that she mocked the other party's ignorance, but mocked herself instead, breaking the defense and bringing a critical hit.
Xixia took a deep breath, trying not to get too excited, at least not to let the "kid" who was less than 20 years old look down on her.
With a cold and beautiful face, she was silent for a few seconds, and finally felt that her mood seemed to calm down.
Then she said: "Time has not changed, I just dug out part of your thoughts. Time has not changed, and you have not changed. What has changed is only your thoughts and feelings."
Xixia didn't care whether Angel understood or not. After a simple explanation, she immediately shifted the topic to the source fire that she was most concerned about.
"Since you took out the source fire and knew about the ancestral altar, I think you came prepared?" Xixia raised her chin: "Tell me, what is your purpose? What do you want, or what do you want to know?"
Xixia's tone was very firm, thinking that Angel was definitely coming for her.
Otherwise, why would he ask if she was a worshiper of the source? Why did he take the initiative to mention the extinguished ancestral altar? Finally, he took out the source fire.
But even if it is "certain" that Angel's target is her, she may still ask for a high price, and Xixia has to face the challenge, because the "source fire" is not false, it really exists, and for the source worshipers, the source fire means hope.
However, Xixia does not want to be a sucker, so she has such a scene of "the fog dissipates, the throne appears, and looks down on all living beings".
This is not a monkey show, but a clear and useful "ritual". But Angel has not yet proposed the "price", so Xixia did not let the ritual go to the end.
Only when Angel offers a price, Xixia will let the meaning of the ritual truly appear.
God's throne overlooking all living beings. Any undercurrent will be led to the truth, all shadows will reveal their true colors, the fool will be rewarded, and the plan of the greedy will only become a piece of waste paper.
…
Angel looked at Sicia, whose chin was almost raised to the sky, with a slightly strange expression.
It seems that his purpose of coming has been misunderstood?
He is not here to sell the source fire... Although the purple source fire and the white source fire are incomplete due to damage, Angel also intends to sell them, but just in case, he has to wait for Dodolo to sell them. Let’s talk about it later after lighting the ancestral altar.
But now, Xixia seems to have regarded his sale of the source fire as a deal?
Did he come prepared? Are you prepared to come all the way to trade with you?
"I think you are too confident?" Angel tilted his head and looked at Sicia with a confused expression on his face.
Sisia looked gloomy: "What do you mean?"
Angel touched his chin: "You just said that I am ignorant. I also admit this, but have you forgotten?"
"How could I, being ignorant, know that there is an alchemy puppet that is used as a "ticket booth" in a ruin that is said to be worthless? And in the seemingly ordinary box in the puppet's hand, there is A conductor who has never been revealed before? And this conductor was once a source?"
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to add the prefix. This Source Worshiper is still a Source Worshiper who has been in a small box in a different space for tens of thousands of years and has never shown his face."
"Under such circumstances, how do you think I know your existence? Do you think that I have also lived for ten thousand years and I saw you in Naraku City ten thousand years ago?"
Angel's repeated questioning made Sicia a little confused.
It seems, is that really the case?
What he said seems to make sense?
Seeing that Sisia didn't speak, Angel continued: "Well, let me ask you, can prophecy predict you?"
Sisia shook her head subconsciously: "Of course not. The source worshiper himself is covered by fate, not to mention that I no longer have a soul."
"Prophecy can't predict you, that means I didn't use prophecy to locate you."
"Continue, let me ask you again, are there other people in and out of your box? I mean, intelligent beings who can see you, know that you are a worshiper of the source, and can spread the news to the outside world? Best? It’s from the past few decades. After all, it’s so far away that I haven’t even been born yet.”
"I have some friendship with a certain master here, and he occasionally comes to chat with me about outside affairs. However, due to some special reasons, it is impossible for him to spread my news." Sisia was a little confused at this time. How could she She didn't understand what Angel meant, but if Angel really wasn't prepared, how could he appear in front of her in such a "coincidental" way?
"In that case, how do you think I knew your existence and was prepared?" Angel was a little dumbfounded: "Let me tell you the truth, the purpose of my companions and I coming here is not you at all. ”
Although Sicia understood what Angel meant, she still had doubts. As a former prophet, she is very familiar with the pull of fate. Because of her understanding, she knows that the probability of such a series of coincidences is very low.
She is a worshiper of the source, staying in a dark and lightless box for ten thousand years, and then just waiting for the source fire to fall from the sky?
If the Great Prophet was still here, if she said this, she would probably be beaten up by the Great Prophet in a bad mood.
I have doubts, but what Angel said is not unreasonable.
This also made Xicia's expression become tangled.
Xicia hesitated for a while before asking: "Then... why did you take out the source fire?"
Angel gently held the white source fire into his palm, and then squeezed it gently. The source fire disappeared and returned to the earlobe.
After doing all this, Angel spread his hands and said, "I'm not doing anything, I'm just showing you."
"Show me?!" Sisia stood up suddenly, bowed and looked down, her eyes widened: "Are you kidding me?"
Feeling the renewed murderous intent in the air, Angel's expression was hard to describe.
How did he meet this woman?
Angel rubbed his brows. He thought that this woman, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, should be able to understand what he meant, but now he discovered that there may be no necessary connection between IQ and age.
Could it be that because she lost her body and soul, her thinking began to develop in a slippery slope?
But Popota's situation is similar to hers, and Popota isn't stupid now. ——Bobota did not count the period when Rasudran became an alien.
Feeling the growing murderous intent, Angel sighed helplessly: "Think about it carefully, if I give you the source fire, what can you do with it?"
Sisia: "Me! I..."
Xicia wanted to go back with excitement, but as soon as she started, she suddenly withered. Yes, she has neither body nor soul now. Even if she thinks she is a source worshipper, essentially, she has no relationship with a source worshipper. What can she do with the Source Fire?
"Can you sense the ancestral altar?" Angel asked again.
Sisia remained silent, but the answer was self-evident.
"No way. Then what do you want this source fire to do? Use it as a flickering candle to light up this flashy palace of yours?"
"But it's useless even if you hold the source fire." Xixia's rebuttal was somewhat weak, and her voice was getting weaker and weaker.
Angel: "Have you forgotten the question you asked me before? You asked me where I knew about the ancestral altar, and my answer was - a Baiyuan person told me personally."
Angel emphasized the word "personally".
Xixia was slightly distracted and sat back on the throne, but her momentum was gone.
She had already understood what Angel meant at this time. The source fire was indeed useless to her, because she couldn't even sense the ancestral altar, so how could she revive Baiyuan?
But if it was given to the Baiyuan people who were still alive in the outside world, then the spark would eventually set the prairie on fire.
Thinking of this, Xixia whispered: "You mean, you plan to give the source fire to other Baiyuan people."
Angel nodded without comment.
Although Angel gave Xixia the answer she expected, there was a doubt that Xixia still hadn't solved: "Are there really Baiyuan people alive in the outside world?"
That existence had clearly told her that the last Baiyuan person was also dead.
Based on the oath, it will not deceive itself.
Is the Baiyuan man that suddenly appeared in Angel's mouth real or fake?
Angel did not directly answer Xixia's question, but said: "Do you want to see him?"
Xixia's eyes lit up: "Did the Baiyuan man you mentioned come with you?"
Angel: "No. I said, I didn't come prepared, and my goal is not you."
After a pause, Angel said: "However, although he didn't come with me, I may have a way to let you see him and talk to him face to face."
"Is that so..." Xixia was a little disappointed. It would be great if she could see the other party with her own eyes.
"Are you really sure that he is a Baiyuan man?"
Angel: "Whether you are sure or not, you can judge after you see him yourself."
Xixia thought about it and felt that this was fine. As long as she could see the other party, even if it was just an illusion, she would have a way to judge whether they were of the same race.
"I agree to meet him. When can I meet him?"
Angel: "Anytime. However, it will take some time to prepare before the meeting."
Cisia nodded, and did not ask Angel what he needed to prepare, just thinking it was some props for a remote meeting.
Cisia thought for a while: "What price do I need to pay?"
...
When Xixia said this, Angel was calm on the surface, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He did so much, and he used the source fire to lure him, wasn't it just for this sentence?
Fortunately, although Xixia's brain was a little bit confusing, she still understood the rule of "you have to pay for what you get", otherwise Angel would have to ask for the reward himself, and that scene would be so ugly.
Angel raised his eyes and lowered his eyebrows: "I hope you can answer some questions for me."
Hearing Angel's request, Xixia was actually a little relieved. If she didn't ask, she would really worry.
Xixia returned to her aloof "goddess" look, leaning lazily on the throne: "Do you want to know the secret of Naraku City?"
Angel: "If you are willing to tell me, I don't mind asking. However, I want to know more about other questions."
Xixia: "Then ask, but I can tell you that there are some things I can't explain in detail, or even can't say. Because I signed a covenant with a certain master, it can help me to a certain extent, such as bringing me news from the outside world, and what I have to do is to abide by some rules. If what you want to ask happens to be within these rules, I can't tell you directly."
When Xixia said the last sentence, she raised her eyebrows meaningfully.
Can't say it directly, can you hint?
Angel didn't know if he understood it correctly, and he didn't care about things that he shouldn't know. He cared about Xixia's attitude. Judging from Xixia's attitude towards him now, she shouldn't let him down now.
"The first question I want to ask is, is the master you have been talking about before a three-eyed blue demon?"
