  Chapter 216 Accidental Discovery

Although Duanmuhuai really wanted to take a good rest, he still missed Augis very much. After all, it was rare for a puppet girl to say that she had a problem. Duanmuhuai was not in the mood for treatment right now. After a brief rest, he Return to the Eternal City with Bambi and Milfy.

  At this moment, a meteor had smashed a hole in the Eternal City. After contacting Augis, Duanmuhuai quickly came to the abandoned city.

but………

   "What the **** am I doing!?"

  When the three of them followed the streets of the Eternal City to the Dark Night Sanctuary in the center, the first thing Duanmu Huai saw was a temple in the distance—and a giant tens of meters tall sitting on the temple.

  Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai, Bambi, and Milfie were all startled, and Duanmu Huai was even more headache. If this **** is another boss battle, then I really have to work hard!

   After all, my body is not made of iron. Three boss battles a day, this is crazy!

But fortunately, when the three of them approached, they realized that the giant sitting on the top of the church was already a skeleton, and he would not get up at all. What the **** is this dead man sitting on top of the church, so he rushed in hastily.

   "Ojis!"

   Duanmuhuai pushed open the heavy church door and shouted, and then he saw that under the candlelight, Augis was sitting against the wall, looking as if she was injured.

   "Ah, Master."

   Seeing Duanmu Huai's figure, August's eyes lit up immediately, but even so, she still didn't stand up, but just sat there and nodded to Duanmu Huai.

   "Are you okay? What's wrong? What happened?"

   Duanmuhuai took Bambi and Milfie to the side of Augustes, looked at her carefully, Duanmuhuai was relieved that, at least from the outside, Augustes was not hurt. Could it be that she was under some kind of curse here?

"………I'm not too sure either………"

  Augis slowly stretched out her hand, looked at Duanmuhuai suspiciously, and then she took off the lace dress on her body.

   Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was stunned.

   What I saw under the dress was not Augis's usual smooth body that looked like it was carved out of wood, but a body that was indistinguishable from that of a human girl!

  Even the smallest details are exactly the same!

   "No, this... what's going on here???"

  Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was also stunned. He couldn't figure out why his puppet girl suddenly became a human being?

  But this figure is really......

   "Uh, you'd better put on your clothes first."

   "Yes, master."

  Ojis put on her dress again, and Duanmuhuai also took a breath at this time—fortunately, he was wearing a helmet, so no one else could see it.

   "So, what happened? You tell me clearly."

   "Okay, master, the thing is like this..."

  Augges narrated what she had encountered before, and Duanmuhuai frowned after hearing what Augges told.

According to Augis, she encountered a strange thing that could imitate herself and was exactly the same as her transformation. However, just as Augis defeated it, that weird thing suddenly rushed towards Augis. Instead of merging into one body - that is to say, at this moment, the inside of Augis's body is still a doll, but her outside seems to be covered by that strange liquid.

  Not only that, after this, Augis also found that she felt some...feelings that she had never experienced before.

  She wasn't sure if her body was damaged, so Augis sat here motionless out of caution to avoid accidents.

   "Is there such a thing?"

  After listening to Augis' narration, Duanmu Huai frowned.

   Now it seems that that weird thing is the key to Augis becoming like this. However, if you want to ask Duanmuhuai what it is, he can't answer it.

   Fortunately, at least Duanmuhuai now has someone to ask.

   "In short, let's get out of here first."

  Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and hugged Augis into his arms, then he glanced at the treasure chest not far away.

  Although I don’t know if it’s true, in short, take this thing back first.

   Just like that, Duanmuhuai returned to the Magic Tower with Augis and found Lani.

   "Yes, this is what I need."

   After taking the knife from Duanmu Huai, Lani nodded in satisfaction.

   "I didn't expect that it wasn't Blazer, but you found it first... Thank you, this way, all the conditions are met."

  While talking, Lani took out something like an hourglass and handed it to Duanmuhuai.

   "This is the deal we agreed upon. As long as you take it to Kalia's study, you will be able to get what you want. And I will also walk on the path I have chosen."

"Thank you."

  Duanmu Huai reached out to take the hourglass, and then looked at Lani.

   "I'm sorry, but actually I have one more thing I want to trouble you with."

   "What's the matter? I hope it won't be too much trouble."

   "Just need some pointers from you."

  While speaking, Duanmuhuai lifted the cloak and placed Augis in front of Lani.

"She was a puppet before, but in the Eternal City you mentioned, she encountered a monster that could simulate and transform into herself. After defeating it, that monster seemed to merge with her. Now she Becoming more...human?"

   "Oh? Is there such a thing?"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Lani lowered her head and looked at Augis carefully. Then she stretched out a hand and touched Augis's cheek lightly. The latter dodged subconsciously.

"Um………"

   Lani stared at Augis, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

   "If I'm not mistaken, what she encountered should be a teardrop."

"what is that?"

"That is something created by the Eternal City. They tried to use that thing to create the king of King's Landing. Being able to imitate others is the characteristic of the teardrop. Of course, the general teardrop does not have self-awareness. If What you said is true, so the artificial teardrop encountered by this girl may be a special one among them."

   "Then, why did it merge with Augis? Isn't there any problem?"

   "This is a very interesting subject."

   Having said this, Lani smiled slightly.

"The Imitation Teardrop has no soul, so it has been longing to find a soul, but this girl does not have a human body. Maybe the Imitation Teardrop is aware of her preconscious desire to become a human being, so it has a relationship with this girl. Isn’t it a perfect match for an empty shell without a soul and a puppet with only a soul?”

   "So, won't this have any effect on Augis?"

   "The self-awareness of the teardrop has been destroyed, it just instinctively acts according to the consciousness of the holder, and will not cause any harm-of course, being able to feel pain like a human being may be a weakness."

   Having said this, Lani closed her eyes.

   "It's a pity, if I didn't have very important things to do, this would be a very good research topic."

   "So, how about we do another deal?"

  Duanmu Huai glanced at Augis beside her, and then at Lani.

   "If you agree, I can assist you in completing what you have done. In exchange, I hope you can help me solve August's troubles."

"Owner?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Augis stared at him with wide eyes in surprise, but Duanmuhuai just waved to Augis. Although he felt nothing wrong with Augis turning into a human, but the current The situation is really strange. Duanmuhuai herself doesn't know about the border area, but Lani is different. As a witch, she at least knows everything here, and although she hasn't been with Lani for long, she has never Judging from her actions, Duanmuhuai thinks that Lani is trustworthy to a certain extent.

   Facing Duanmuhuai's proposal, Lani just smiled lightly.

   "Stupid man, you don't even know what I'm going to do, do you think you can help?"

   "I think I can."

  While speaking, Duanmuhuai clenched the hammer tightly and gave a hard blow on the ground. The next moment, red and black flames erupted from it, covering Duanmuhuai's body.

   "Death Rune..."

  Seeing this scene, Lani's expression suddenly became much more serious.

   "You can actually use the power of Death Rune?"

   I have to say that Lani was also very surprised when she felt the breath of death rune on Duanmuhuai. You must know that the power of the Death Rune is so tyrannical that ordinary people cannot control it. Even Lani can only use the ritual to inject the power of the Death Rune into the black knife.

Even Marikas, who sealed the death rune, was also eroded, becoming hungry and crazy-to be honest, Lani didn't expect that someone could use the death rune so easily without suffering Backlash.

   Who the **** is he?

   "How? Now we can talk about the deal."

  Duanmuhuai stared at Lani, the expression on the latter's face was uncertain, after a long silence, Lani seemed to have made up her mind, and raised her head to look at Duanmuhuai.

   "This is very dangerous."

   "That's why there is transaction value."

  “…………”

  Hearing this, Lani closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then she nodded.

   "Well, since that's the case, then... I'll tell you what my real plan is."
