Chapter 1251 Frustrated

Sitting on the sofa with nothing to do, I began to count the white jade bricks used to build the castle.

After counting the ceiling, count the four walls. After counting the four walls, count the floor. After counting the floor, get up and go to the corridor to continue counting.

When I counted to 1,400 yuan, a familiar voice sounded behind me: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, the high priest is here to talk to you."

Have you finally woken up?

I rubbed my neck and walked into the small room again.

The room was still dark, and the Eye of Light had been put away by the high priest.

At this moment, she was sitting at the table, quietly in a daze.

"How about waiting a little longer?" I muttered, planning to exit.

"Come here, child," the gentle voice of the high priest said, "come here."

I walked over and sat across from her again. In the dim light, I saw that her face was still a little pale: "Aren't you going to take a rest?"

"No need." The high priest smiled and said, "I just haven't been so focused on one thing for a long time. I was a little tired at first, but I'm much better now."

"That's good, that's good."

After pondering for a while, I said: "Excuse me, the high priest, what are the meanings of these ghostly drawings on my arms?"

"They are not ghost-drawing talismans." The high priest smiled: "They are a kind of runes."

"Rune?"

"The so-called runes are symbols of power," she explained: "Each of these runes has a power that cannot be underestimated when taken alone."

"Take it out separately?" I looked at my left arm and said, "That means that now that they are connected together, their power is restricted and they will not be released so easily, is that right? "

"On the contrary," the high priest said: "Just because they are connected together, the power they contain fluctuates more frequently."

"Really?" I wondered, "Why didn't I feel it?"

"You didn't feel it because, by chance, you happened to match this force. It recognized you and merged with you."

"In other words, the ghost paintings and runes on my arm are harmless to me?"

"Yeah, totally harmless."

The words of the high priest made me feel very reassured. Just when I was about to enjoy this rare relaxation, the high priest said again: "Although they are harmless to you, it does not mean that they are also harmless to the people around you." of."

After I heard this, my little heart immediately lifted up: "You mean, it will threaten my family?"

The high priest stared at me and said slowly: "You don't have to worry too much, they will not affect your family's mind."

When the high priest explained what I was thinking, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She continued: "But you should never forget what you witnessed when you first came to this world."

The tragic scenes from back then immediately came to mind: ruined walls, broken limbs and pieces of flesh, villages destroyed in an instant, beauty shattered in an instant, familiar faces stained with blood, scenes of familiar scenery transformed into... A place of ruins.

"No, no," I gasped and shuddered unconsciously. At the same time, I closed my eyes forcefully, trying to drive away the cruel scene in my mind.

"So" the high priest said slowly: "You have to learn how to control the power of these runes. Only if you know how to control them, will they listen to you and become like a family member."

"Control. Just control, okay?"

I felt like I had grasped at straws.

"If it's you, just learn how to control it," the high priest smiled.

"If it's me." I slowly considered this sentence, and suddenly discovered the problem: "What if it were someone else?"

"It depends on whether the rune recognizes that person," the high priest said: "If you don't recognize it and want to impose control, the only way to go is to be destroyed."

"Destroyed? Destroyed by runes?"

She nodded.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but swallow, and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, Rune has a good relationship with me and recognized me.

Afterwards, I asked the high priest for advice on how to control the runes, but she refused.

No, perhaps rejection is not the right word, but rather powerlessness.

Yes, she was powerless because she didn't know how to control the runes.

"Hundreds of years ago, a person like you came here. He also had such runes on his body, but they were far less numerous than yours." The high priest said, "That person also had a relationship with you. I met, but unlike your situation, he came to me on his own initiative."

"What's the result?" I couldn't help but ask, "Did you and him say the same thing?"

"Yes," the high priest said, "but his situation is different from yours. Not all the runes on his body recognized him, so he died."

".How did you die?" I thought about it and asked another question: "How did you die?"

The high priest said: "His body was torn into pieces in an instant, leaving only a complete head."

"What about the head?"

"Head?" the high priest said hoarsely: "Of course it was buried, otherwise what would happen?"

"No, nothing," I said with a smile.

Okay, I admit that I lied. The moment she mentioned the head, I thought of what the priests like to do the most in the movie Blue Planet - collecting heads and bones and making them into decorations.

However, in fact, the high priest of Zephyr Continent is obviously very different from the image in the Blue Planet movie - although they both like to live in small, dark rooms.

"Excuse me, High Priest, does the story you told me have anything to do with the method of mastering runes?"

"It doesn't matter," the high priest said.

I couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Then you still tell me?"

"Just talking about the past," the high priest said with a smile, "You don't have to worry too much."

Can I not mind?

The person you mentioned who was in a similar situation to me is dead! he died! ! he died! ! !

Do you know how much this affected me?

This is equivalent to telling me that before I came, the success rate of people who had runes and completely controlled them was zero percent!

"By the way, Lord High Priest, did that person leave any experience or records in this regard?"

The high priest pondered for a moment and said, "Yes."

Oh, thank God, there is no such thing as a perfect road.

".But those things were all destroyed by the explosion."

A basin of ice water was poured down on me, completely chilling my whole body.

Damn it, did you make a mistake? What kind of trouble is going on if you don’t have any experience or lessons learned?

You said you asked me to take control, where should I start?

Also, where should I start to ensure that I won’t be blown up to the point where only my head is left!

I was still alive and kicking, but after experiencing the high priest's repeated verbal blows, I instantly became disheartened and slumped down in the chair, looking like a salted fish.
