Chapter 456 [Arrogance]’s “Gift”

,!

After a moment of silence, [Arrogance] glanced at Sean with his huge eyes.

"Humble man, you are wise."

The corner of Sean's mouth raised a slight arc.

It seemed that his little thoughts were not hidden from the other party, but [Arrogance] obviously didn't react before, and now he realized that Sean was acting.

But [Arrogance] didn't get angry, nor did he expose Sean's acting skills, nor did he take back his previous promise, and even changed the name he called Sean.

This is enough to prove that things about gods are very important in [Arrogance]'s heart.

Moreover, this probably also shows some of His approval of Sean.

Sean didn't feel embarrassed after having his little thoughts seen through. He put his hands leisurely on the railing and said calmly: "Thank you for your compliment, although others have always said this about me since I was a child - besides, you see , doesn’t this mean we have reached a basic consensus?”

"You are indeed very smart, and you have always understood what you want-" [Arrogance] said, "But you will never understand what you are going to face, that's fine."

Sean was noncommittal: "It would be best for both of us not to repeat what we have already repeated. It makes no sense."

"So, what are you going to say?"

Sean snapped his fingers: "I can't 100% believe your promise, but at least it's a hope - and besides, since you want to fully wake up, this proves that you have a goal..."

Looking at [Arrogant]'s blood-red eyes, Sean shrugged: "Don't look at me like that, I know, I'm not qualified to talk about those high-level things, I'm not worthy of being at your level~"

"Teasing and being weird will not bring you any benefits." [Arrogance] said.

"But I'm happy to say that - but I do have a proposal." Sean said with a smile.

[Arrogance] glanced at him up and down again: "Maybe you borrowed my power and helped me complete some things. Humble man, in your life level, you may be an outstanding existence, so for us Speaking of which, haha——”

Sean spread his hands: "What's the point of saying this? You're still in my body, and your power can't be exerted without my permission. My proposal is indeed old-fashioned, but it can also be called old-fashioned. Classic, right?”

[Arrogance] didn't speak, seeming to be thinking about something.

Sean continued: "You just mentioned that [Lazy] is a traitor, right? I think you always want to punish the traitor after fully awakening. Why don't I make some arrangements for you in advance, such as finding out more clearly? News, such as weakening His current power, may be just a small thing to you, but a small good thing is also a good thing, right?"

"In exchange, your knowledge, your mastery of power, your control of magic power, these are just some insignificant things to you, and it doesn't seem to be anything if you leave them to me, the [humble person]~~ Huge loss, right?”

"Furthermore, regardless of what you really think, before you fully awaken, although we are parasites and hosts, we can essentially reach a cooperative relationship. You can think about this - since your life level is completely Is it unacceptable for you to crush me and make me stronger?"

After saying all this, Sean leaned lazily on the railing, waiting for [Arrogant]'s answer.

He is confident that his words can impress the other party.

[Arrogance] obviously has a very good mind. He can fully understand the meaning of what Sean said, and he is proud enough. This is the reason for Sean's confidence.

What Grindelwald taught him about seeing through people's hearts also applies to [Pride].

In other words, this is what Sean thinks in his heart - as long as you are not omniscient and omnipotent, as long as your consciousness level and thinking logic are not completely beyond the scope of mortals, the so-called higher-level beings only have more powerful power. , even, your power over the mortals in the world is still within my constraints.

Then, the human heart can be used, and the so-called divine heart can also be used.

What's more, Sean's proposal didn't put much of a hole in it.

Sure enough, just as Sean expected, [Arrogance] raised his huge head after thinking briefly.

"Interesting proposal, humble one, very good, I agree to your proposal."

Sean laughed: "It seems we have reached a consensus?"

"You can think so for the time being, humble one."

Sean didn't mind if the other person spoke of him as a humble person. He said easily: "Then let's pick something we can talk about first?"

"Ask your questions, humble one."

"[Lazy], why can his power be borrowed by ordinary wizards, and there are three wizards who have borrowed this power. Those three people behaved very strangely, as if they were sharing the same consciousness..."

Sean described Thomas' situation in detail.

After hearing this, [Arrogance] calmly said: "[Lazy]'s power is not borrowed."

Sean frowned: "I obviously feel something is wrong, you should feel it too."

"It's just a superficial manifestation of power," [Arrogance] explained for him, "The most intuitive one is you. You should be able to feel that as I gradually recover, you are almost immune to all kinds of pupil magic. resistance."

Sean nodded. Yes, all kinds of talents and spells that use the eyes to activate magic are almost ineffective for him. Whether it’s Stephanie’s seductive eyes or Cat Pudding’s hypnotic and voyeuristic eyes.

He even withstood the direct gaze of the basilisk once - although Sean did not try to commit suicide after that, he could vaguely feel that now, even if he was directly looked at by the basilisk again, he would not causing fatal consequences.

His resistance is getting stronger and stronger, and he may eventually reach the immunity mentioned by [Arrogance].

"This is the superficial manifestation of my power in you. If I use the simplest words to describe it, it is that my huge power reveals a breath. This breath is intertwined with your own magic power and becomes what you say The power of guilt.”

Sean nodded thoughtfully. This may be equivalent to a system with multiple levels of permissions. The blame is the system, and the host naturally has the liberating permissions of this system. Of course, this permissions only have the most superficial basic permissions.

"That is to say, they are not using the real power of guilt, but they are just transforming and utilizing the superficial power -" Sean said thoughtfully, "However, in my understanding, even the most superficial power, Only the host can use part of it."

"Your understanding is correct. Even if it is the most superficial power, only bridges like you can borrow part of it." [Arrogance] said.

"So, how many people are there?"

"Because [Lazy] didn't wake up at all, and didn't even get out of the most basic light sleep."

Sean frowned: "Not awake at all? In other words, in the soul world of [Lazy] host, [Lazy] can't even appear like you and talk to me?"

"Yes, even if [Lazy] is a traitor, as the leader, I must be the first to awaken. After I fully awaken, the others will slowly awaken and regain their strength."

Sean said with some confusion: "Since [Lazy] has not awakened, then the power... huh? You just said that it is precisely because of this that they can borrow the power of guilt? Can I understand that they forcibly extracted the sleeping power? Caught in the power of [laziness]?”

There was a trace of appreciation in [Arrogance]'s eyes: "Yes, humble one, your thinking is very flexible - yes, it is precisely because [Lazy] has not awakened that it is possible to borrow its power. When it awakens, This power can no longer be borrowed.”

"So that's it..." Sean nodded, and then asked again, "Then, why did my magic change its nature after coming into contact with the magic of Thomas and others?"

"The resonance between magic powers of the same level. After you appear for a while, your magic power will return to its original state." [Arrogance] explained simply.

"I see... So, in order to continue to borrow the power of [Laziness], those people will suppress its awakening and continue to let it sleep?" Sean asked.

"If they want to continue borrowing, they will indeed do so."

Sean nodded, then looked at [Arrogance]: "So, what do you want me to do?"

[Arrogance] showed a smile for the first time, but although he used Sean's face, his smile was different from Sean's gentle and lazy smile. His smile was full of the oppression and disdain of a superior.

"Humble one, you are too weak. When you are stronger, come and talk to me about this matter. Consider this information a gift from me."

Sean shrugged: "Whatever you say - but I still have a lot of other problems?"

"Why should I answer you?" [Arrogance] chuckled, and then sank straight into the magma.

"Hey, you big guy, hello-" Sean shouted twice, but [Arrogance] stopped replying. Only the scorching-eye bubbles in the magma lake below were still bursting one after another.

"Tsk, it's boring -" Sean licked his lips, and then muttered to himself, "It's so different from the portable grandpa in ordinary novels, and there's no meeting gift or anything like that..."

Shortly after Sean finished speaking, a magic ball slowly rose up in the lava lake.

The voice of [arrogance] echoed around the empty island.

"As a smart bridge, I allow you to borrow more of my power as a way to save your life."

Sean looked at the magic ball, and naturally the method of using magic that he had never learned came to mind.

Even, he can clearly feel that as long as he is willing, he can borrow part of the power of [Arrogance] at any time, although this power is only a drop in the bucket compared to [Arrogance], although this power only has the many mysterious abilities of [Arrogance] a small part of.

But for Sean's current level, it can almost directly double his combat power.

This is almost a ready-to-use combat power enhancer, with no cooldown time or usage restrictions.

As long as Sean wants to.

But his expression was slightly solemn.

[Arrogance]'s voice sounded again, but it was a little playful.

"The cooperation has been reached. You can borrow part of my power at any time. I can also guarantee that this power will not be harmful to you. But - do you dare?"

"The humble one——"

The voice with laughter and playfulness gradually fell silent, and there was no more movement.

Sean stared at the huge magic ball with mixed feelings in his heart.

Even if this power is tempting, even if there is the guarantee of [arrogance]...

He was right, Sean didn't dare to use it.

Even though Sean had talked so much with [Arrogance] this time, and even had a certain advantage, but if we go back to the ultimate essence, he and [Arrogance] are both collaborators and biggest enemies.

When [Arrogance] fully awakens, Sean is no longer Sean, even if the other party has made a promise to keep Sean's soul - but what about the others? Consciousness, memory, body, friends, teachers, lovers, family...

Regarding these, [Arrogance] made no promises.

In other words, Sean will eventually have to face [Arrogance] and either control the power or leave only a soul.

Facing that huge magic ball, this "gift" derived from [arrogance] also needs to be marked with double quotation marks.

If [Arrogance] has other thoughts, the more Sean borrows this power, the weaker his resistance may be to [Arrogance]'s erosion in the future.

This could very well be a sweet time bomb.

Arrogance obviously saw Sean's cautious and fearful character, so he made such a move.

"Merlin's iron pants, you restless and kind-hearted guy." Sean's teeth itched with hatred.

The temptation of this power is as great as the risk!

"It's not going to be used now anyway. I have enough cards. There are still two big guys taking care of things that I can't handle. It's just useless. It's just useless."

Sean controlled his gaze away from this coveted magic.

He took one last look at the magma, then closed his eyes, and his body disappeared at the edge of the empty island.

Shortly after Sean left, the lava lake began to tremble again.

A giant hand stretched out the magma, and then grasped it in the void again.

The cracks in the sky that are slowly repairing themselves have accelerated the repair process.

"well--"

A long sigh full of various meanings echoed throughout the world.

…

When Sean opened his eyes again, the first thing he checked was his physical condition and magic state.

Everything is business as usual.

Coin is indeed reliable. This time we went in for a long talk, and [Arrogance] didn't do anything.

Sean, who relaxed a little, looked to the side.

The unconscious Royds still lay there motionless.

"Tsk, I can't just let this innocent person go, but that guy didn't tell me how to save these two people..." Sean held his chin in confusion.

While he was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

Sean walked over and opened the door, and there was a smiling old man standing at the door.

"Oh, Sean, you are indeed here." Dumbledore said with a smile.
