The sun is high

"It's amazing, you can speak directly!"

Hearing this sound, Xiuge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face. He gently pressed twice on "Justina's" head, and then took out two more filled magic crystals. , and stuffed them directly into the little creation in front of him.

Of course, "Justina" would not refuse Shuge's feeding. It couldn't wait to digest the previous crystals, so it arched its body forward, and its soft translucent body immediately wrapped the two new pieces of food. Standing up, through its body, Xiuge could see "Justina" quickly gathering all the crystals together, like children eager to grab food from their dinner plates.

Until now, Giustina's clear message has always been about eating.

This behavior shows that it has officially entered a stage of accelerated growth at this time, and everything that Shuge fed before, whether it is magic crystal or "Color of Life", has also been absorbed by "Justina" Completely digested and brought about extremely noticeable changes to it.

As Xiuge calmed down, he was surprised to find that the magic connection between himself and "Justina" became more stable and clear, and as the soft shadow in front of him continued to suck from the magic crystal Magic, the channel connecting each other's thoughts and ideas has become stronger and stronger.

On this basis, Xiuge naturally began to try to have a deeper communication with this special "child".

Compared with before, the responses that "Justina" can give have become very rich. In addition to the very classic "hungry", it has also begun to try to send more clear messages to Shuge.

The memory possessed by "Justina" is too complex, and a considerable part of it was damaged by the previous impact in Salem City. Therefore, it often makes some very strange and funny mistakes when organizing its language, such as replacing The common language and the dialects of some remote areas are mixed together, or some words are mistakenly used in places that do not fit the context.

This process is very interesting, and reminds Xiuge of those children who have begun to learn to speak, but have very limited vocabulary and pronunciation.

However, relying on the magical connection between the two parties, even if "Justina"'s expression was very confusing, Shuge could still understand most of its meanings, and through these messy messages, Shuge further confirmed its state.

Xiuge raised his hand and gently patted the edge of the child's body in front of him with a slow rhythm. This gentle touch from his "father" could make it feel stable and comfortable.

"As its power continues to recover, those previously damaged memories also begin to be repaired, which obviously helps it re-embrace its own consciousness and establish a clearer self-understanding."

"At this stage, its demand for magic power and life force will continue to increase. This is reasonable. After all, only sufficient power can support the memory reserves it once had. However, at present, the magic crystallization It can still meet the demand, so I don't have to rush to use the remaining 'Color of Life'."

At this time, due to the continuous "eating" and the soothing of Xiuge, this small creation gradually calmed down. It seemed to have entered a state similar to sleep. The body only trembled slightly, and the little creature above its head gradually calmed down. The "cat ears" that changed in accordance with Xiuge's preferences also became limp and integrated into the body again.

So Xiuge carefully held up "Justina" with the hands of the mage, and opened the huge kettle with a wide mouth, so that it "flowed" into the kettle along with the magic crystals in his body.

As a not-so-competent father, Xiuge is full of expectations for the future of this strange existence.

Of course, Xiuge also knew that he needed to be as cautious as possible.

"Justina" can of course continue to grow, but in this process, that part of memory and cognition that is beneficial to Vann must dominate.

Xiuge picked up the large kettle that had become a little heavy. He carefully attached several protective magic rituals to the kettle, and then gently snapped his fingers to summon a cluster of destiny roots. beard, and used it to create a small illusion that shrouded the place where "Justina" lived.

"I hope your growth goes well..."

He muttered something silently, and then returned the kettle to its original hiding place.

The wind and waves outside became stronger and stronger, and even Xiuge was feeling a little uncomfortable, so he put on light and loose clothes, turned around and lay down on his bed.

Because of the fierce conflict between the Dark Abyss Spider and the Palace Hound, he didn't even have time to complete the other magic sacrifices he brought in before. Until now, those valuable materials are still left in the Dream Sanctuary. Inside.

"Finally I have time to deal with you..."

With this thought, Xiuge quickly fell into sleep and fell towards the weird time and space.

…

As Shuge embarked on a new journey, Theseus, who had been staying in the dream sanctuary all day "not doing his job", slipped away to no one knows where. This faceless god seemed to be walking away in a hurry, not only leaving no trace behind. Prompt words, even the computer games played before were not saved.

In the spirit of helping others, Shuge conveniently clicked save for Theseus, and then devoted himself to his own affairs.

The benefits brought by increased strength are still very obvious.

For these ancient creatures inside the Dream Sanctuary who like to follow primitive instincts, real power is the most effective way of dialogue. Starting from Shuge’s last contact with the Dark Abyss Spider, these ancient creatures have been facing Shuge. The hostility shown at that time began to decline significantly.

They still looked extremely greedy when faced with the "sacrifice" brought out by Shuge. However, after accepting these sacrifices, they did not attack Shuge again, but accepted the change of situation very honestly.

What requires "five hundred general gold coins" is a compact desk drawer, which looks basically the same as the drawer where Shuge obtained the Touch of Charron, except that the surface of this drawer has a strange layer of light, which is golden. A veil of light and black mist.

As a whole bag of gold coins melted into this layer of light, the drawer popped open lightly, but Xiuge did not suffer any more attacks. He only saw five bullets shining with strange light in the drawer.

Judging from the style, this kind of bullet is basically the same as the universal bullet in Van En. However, after Shuge picked up these bullets, he could feel bursts of heat from them.

Under the light, some kind of weird scale texture would constantly flash across the surface of the bullet, which reminded Shuge inevitably of the scales of some large lizards. At the same time, a message also emerged from the mind. Floating in the depths of the ocean.

"The so-called wealth and minerals are nothing more than the useless scales shed by the Lord of Fire... What do you mean? Are these 'gold coin bullets' that traveled through time and space?"

While Xiuge was savoring those words in his heart, he looked at these bullets. They did look a bit "expensive" and were obviously disposable consumables. This made Xiuge feel a little worried, and he didn't know these strange things. How effective are bullets?

After putting away these bullets, Xiuge spent some time to exchange all the remaining magic materials.

Perhaps because the quality of the blood of the three magical creatures was relatively average, what they exchanged was not actual magical abilities or physical dependents, but three items that were beyond Xiuge's expectations.

The blood of the Xilin Sea Snake was exchanged for a formula written on a torn piece of paper. Xiuge's knowledge of magic potions was average, but judging from the materials involved, this should be a special kind of magic potion containing a large amount of toxins. The specific effects of the drug are not yet known.

The item exchanged for the blood of the seagull is an extremely huge feather that can almost be used as a fan. It seems to be the feather of some ancient bird that has disappeared. Xiuge can easily feel the rich magic power contained in it. But for a while, he didn't know what role this feather could play.

Then there is the object exchanged through the blood of the protruding wolf beasts on the plains. It is a magic dagger with a special style. It looks sharp and strong, and has a strange gemstone inlaid in its center.

When Xiuge looked at the emerald green gem, he felt a slight dizziness inexplicably. As he injected magic power into the dagger, a special hidden magic ritual was activated, which made Xiuge's The figure and aura disappeared directly from the spot.

No matter in terms of appearance, sharpness or the magic ritual attached to it, this can be regarded as a good self-defense weapon. However, for Xiuge who has various abilities and weapons and equipment, this dagger seems a little It seems a bit redundant.

"Sending them out as weapons... seems like a good choice?"

Xiuge thought carefully, and then fixed the dagger and sheath on his belt.

The last thing that needs to be exchanged is the huge turtle shell wrapped in magic gel.

This turtle shell comes from an extremely ferocious deep-sea giant turtle.

They are completely different from ordinary turtles. Not only do they swim at extremely alarming speeds, but they also possess exaggerated aggression. The abundant magic power in their bodies makes their turtle shells extremely hard and extremely beautiful. In the eyes of alchemists, this Seed shells are often an important material for making expensive utensils.

However, when the owner of the turtle shell is hunted, the magic power in the turtle shell will quickly begin to lose. If you want to preserve the magic power inside, you need to put the turtle shell into magic gel in time to preserve it.

And when Xiuge took the turtle shell out of the magic gel and stuffed it into the locker filled with a lot of deep mist, a soft fluid with a strange brilliance flowed out of it.

This fluid looks somewhat similar to the "Color of Life", and when they come to the ground, Charron's Touch reacts extremely violently.

So Shuge complied with the request of Charron's Touch and released them all. In just ten seconds, these active tentacles absorbed all the flowing gorgeous fluid in a way that Shuge could not understand at all. .

This fluid, which is clearly related to the Deep Sea Spawn, has brought extremely obvious changes to Charron's Touch.

As a brilliant light and shadow entered Shuge's spiritual world, the groove on the metal disk that originally belonged to Charron's Touch also shone with a strange luster, and the originally simple tentacle pattern on the groove immediately became It came alive, and then the ray of light began to move toward the outer layer along the lines on the metal disk, and quickly reached the new space on the disk.

A new groove was naturally chosen.

Then Xiuge saw that these strange lights and shadows continued to gather and twist in the depths of the groove, and finally intertwined into a huge carapace with sharp edges and exaggerated spikes. Similar carapace, Xiuge had seen it in the rat before. I have also seen those giant sea beasts in the group of dreams, and I don’t know if they represent the same kind of marine family.

The changes in the groove have been finalized, so Xiuge raised his hand and quickly called out several Touches of Charron. They seemed to be no different from the past, but the horny covering their surfaces seemed to have become smooth. Quite a few.

Xiuge issued a command in his head out of curiosity, and these flexible tentacles immediately knitted together.

Amazing changes begin immediately.

Different from the rough defense network formed by the entanglement of Charron's Touch in the past, this time, Charron's Touch has achieved "fusion" in the true sense. They have completely lost their original tentacle shapes, just like those from the cabinet. It completely merges into a whole like the gorgeous fluid flowing out of it.

A huge "shield" that was enough to protect Xiuge's whole body appeared. It was like the huge carapace that appeared in the groove, with extremely sharp spikes and extremely distinct outlines, from which the light and shadow of magic continued to escape. , giving people an extremely strong sense of security.

Xiuge immediately started testing this unfamiliar "shield", and the results surprised him.

The special protection method evolved by Charron's Touch is completely different from the rough defense line he temporarily organized in the past. After testing, Shuge found that the lethal magic that could originally cause effective damage to Charron's Touch also became It became powerless. According to Shuge's rough judgment, it could even withstand the frontal bombardment of lake-level and river-valley level magic.

In a burst of steaming magic mist, Xiuge disbanded the "giant shield" that had just withstood several rounds of magic impact with satisfaction.

Next, there was only one thing he needed to test in the Dream Sanctuary.

Shuge came to the empty corridor. He raised his palm, and the hound's teeth with deep light and shadow appeared. Several magic lines extended from the gun body and were firmly connected with Shuge's wrist.
