Chapter 555: The Abandoned Tolina

Light up the blessing at the small cave where the Mud Knight appears, then walk into the cave along the road. Inside is a small dark purple garden.

In the middle of that small garden, there is a unique "plant".

At first glance, it was a large purple flower about a meter tall with drooping petals. Although it was beautiful, it lacked some vitality. However, if you walked closer, you could see a figure vaguely mixed in between the drooping petals.

It was a young girl, with her hands folded as if in deep sleep, her head resting on her arms; her long purple hair and petals were mixed together, indistinguishable from each other. From this angle, the falling petals looked more like the hem of her skirt.

There was no need for Xu Liye to explain. Li You recognized the girl at the first sight. This was Saint Torina, the half of her body abandoned by Michaela.

However, Tolina did not react to the group's arrival. If you look closely, you can see that only part of her body, from the waist down, has turned into a flower stem rooted in the ground.

Xu Liye couldn't help it anymore, so he ran up quickly, sniffed the air from a distance, and then sat down on the ground in a somewhat dejected manner:
"...Ah, Lady Tolina. Your poison and that sweet sleep have matured to such a deep color..."

He took two steps forward and spoke again: "...Ah, please speak up and talk to me."

Li You and V looked at each other, not quite understanding what Xu Liye wanted to do. So Li You stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "What's going on?"

Xu Liye turned around. After watching Li You's battle, he seemed to be more afraid of Li You. He answered quickly: "Yes, it was Master Michaela. He abandoned Master Tolina and his own body. Master Tolina lost her support, so she could only take root here and sleep."

Li You frowned slightly: "Then how can I talk to her?"

The reason why he brought Xu Liye so far to find Torina was to get some key information from her, especially about Kara and Michaela, which might become the winning trump card in the future.

But when I got there, I found that Tolina was actually asleep?

Hurier seemed to have begun to be affected by the fragrance of the flowers, and said intermittently: "I may be able to... as long as I immerse myself in the poison of Lady Tolina, I can hear her lost voice in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness... Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, Hurier leaned over to Tolina, carefully picked up one of her drooping petals, and caught a drop of deep purple nectar from it. He then slightly opened his mask and fed the nectar into his mouth.

"Please wait a moment, and don't do what I did. Lady Tolina's poison will put you into an eternal sleep. This is something only I can do..."

Hurier supported himself and crawled to the side, then lowered his head, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Li You: "......"

Is this guy really reliable?

"Is this guy really reliable?" V asked directly. "I mean, looking at him like this, he looks like a lunatic who's been on too much drugs. Can he really hear Torina's voice?"

Li You looked at the groggy Hullie and said, "...I don't know either. But he should be true about one thing. If an ordinary person drinks Tolina's nectar, he will probably fall into an eternal sleep."

"So what should we do now? Wait here?"

Li You was naturally a little anxious, but seeing that Tolina only had a small half of her body left, he couldn't force her.

"Hmm?" Li You was suddenly startled, "Body?"

He immediately opened the system backpack, rummaged inside, and took out the body parts in Michaela's cross that he had picked up earlier.

"Isn't this part of Michaela's body?"

In fact, he didn't think too much about it when he picked up Michaela's body parts. He just wanted to try to destroy the cross sign and think "I'm here anyway".

He had originally planned that if he found it was useless in the end, he would wait until he faced Michaela, draw the emblem of the Mongwen Dynasty on the corpses, and then smash them in his face to launch a mental attack.

But now it seems that maybe these body parts can really come in handy...

Li You came to Tolina and tried to pass the body part to her, but she didn't respond. He then touched Tolina's petals and stems with the body part, but she was still sleeping.

"Is it still not working?" Li You scratched his head and continued to try, trying to see if he had to find a specific location to be effective. He circled around Tolina again and again.

After a while, Xu Liye, who was intoxicated by the nectar, woke up slowly and muttered: "...Lady Tolina, why don't you speak to me...?"
"Ah, let me soak in your poison, let me sleep more deeply... Please, let me hear your voice."

He was planning to get up to catch the nectar, but as soon as he stood up from the ground, he saw Li You leaning in front of Tolina, even lifting up the hem of Tolina's petal skirt, and sticking his entire upper body in.

Huliye: “!!??”

"——What are you doing, you bastard!!!"

"?"

Li You then turned around, but Xu Liye had already gone crazy and rushed up!

"Stay away from Lady Tolina!!!"

He swung his fist wildly and hit Li You. Li You wanted to hold him back, but suddenly his eyes moved and he realized that there was a dark purple needle on his finger, like some kind of hidden weapon.

"Oh?"

Li You was now a little interested. He turned around to face Hullie and watched Hullie rush to him and punch him quickly. Li You raised his hand and kept pushing away his attack, not letting the needle touch him. However, Hullie seemed to be a different person. He punched faster and faster, with more and more force, and seemed to be furious.

"This guy, turns out he's quite good at fighting?"

Li You thought about it and decided not to waste time with him anymore. He grabbed his wrist, flipped it over, and knocked Xu Liye to the ground.

Even though he was pinned down by Li You, Xu Liye still refused to give up resistance: "How dare you blaspheme Lady Tolina? I will absolutely..."

"What are you thinking? I'm just figuring out how to get her back to health."

However, Xu Liye seemed not to listen at all and continued to struggle. Li You had no choice but to slap him in the face, giving Xu Liye the sleep he wanted.

He then turned around and looked at V again: "Why didn't you remind me?"

V was amused: "I think he did the right thing. You just put your head into the saint's skirt. Shouldn't you be beaten?"

Li You: "......"

Damn, Torina is all flower stems from the waist down!
And I don’t like loli!
He nodded his head and did not argue with V. Instead, he said, "Although it seems impossible to piece Michaela's body parts back into Torina, I can sense that there is indeed some kind of power connection between these parts and her. If we can find the right way..."

He thought of something as he spoke: "So, it's almost time for regular contact, right? Didn't Aggie call?"

V said, "I called you just now, but you were busy lifting someone's skirt, so I didn't bother you."

Li You: "......"

Is it over?

Before he and Yuzu and Aggie separated, Li You left his smartphone to Aggie and set a fixed time for contact. Smartphones produced by the system can make calls no matter where they go, so they can contact V remotely.

"So how are they doing over there?"

V replied: "It's going better than ours. They searched the species repository with Ampah and seem to have found some scrolls with secret rituals recorded on them. They seem to be related to Michaela's plan. Ampah is currently deciphering it."

"You're not in danger, are you?"

"That's not the case, but they ran into the red lion they had seen before, named Freya. It seemed like they were investigating something related to Latarn."

"Freya?" Li You thought of the first person they met after arriving in the Shadow Land, a typical Nine-Wisdom Warrior. "What can she investigate?"

V spread his hands and said, "So she's still scratching her head in the species repository. I heard that Ampah couldn't stand it anymore and is planning to help her. It wouldn't be bad if we could win her over."

Li You nodded and didn't ask any more questions: "Since there is a harvest, it's the best. Let's wait for their news. As for us... Oh, Meimei!"

He tapped the mark on his right wrist, injected magic power and called out Melina.

Because Melina was not really attached to him, but only temporarily, so she could not appear all the time. After finding Hullie, she fell asleep and told Li You to find her after seeing Tolina.

Now is the time, so Li You wakes up Melina.

The girl's silhouette appeared in front of the two of them, and Melina said, "Please don't call me Meimei."

"Okay, Captain. I got it." Li You replied.

Just to let you know, Meimei and Captain Yurishika have the same voice actor.

Melina: “?”

However, she did not think deeply about it. Although they had not known each other for a long time, she had heard Kara mention many things about Li You, so she knew that Li You was sometimes unreliable.

Melina turned around and looked at the sleeping Torina. She understood everything: "I see. Torina... you are worried about how to communicate with her, right?"

Li You nodded.

"Just like Huliye over there, if you want to talk to Torina in this state, you can only drink her nectar. Only when you fall into eternal sleep can you hear her voice. However... if you are too weak, you will never wake up after drinking the nectar."

Li You understood: "That's quite dangerous."

Melina nodded. "You are as powerful as the other demigods, and you possess a power close to that of a god. But even so, drinking the nectar is a very dangerous act... You need to think carefully."

"I understand. I'll think about it." Li You nodded, and then suddenly said, "By the way, Meimei, I always feel that this thing should be helpful to her, but I don't know how to use it. Do you have any ideas?"

As he spoke, he took out Michaela's body parts and showed them to Melina.

Melina: “?”
