Can you become stronger without paying money?

Chapter 38 "Forever" Girl ([-])

"I'm sorry..." Riel said calmly to the bewildered three people, "Just now my hands were shaking, and the shot missed..."

Are you here to be funny?Can you be serious, serious!

Before the atmosphere had fully recovered, Riel drew the longbow in his hand again, and the shining three-edged rapier was set up, aiming firmly at the giant puppet's chest.

"What kind of tricks are you playing again, ahhh, enough is enough, Dad... Mom... Hurry up and get rid of him!"

The giant puppet has already broken free from Sapphire's control skills, and the light on the raised arm changes. It is obvious that the next blow will definitely not be easy to take, but before the big guy makes a move, Riel has already made a move... …

Hit depends on fate, output depends on faith, a magical skill that combines scientific probability theory and metaphysics of fate and luck, and the unparalleled arrow method in the world!

"Give it to me!"

The swirling three-edged thorn sword brought a flash of mercury-like flowing brilliance. When the arrow left the string, the palm of the giant doll was already flickering close at hand. This big guy inherited the "distorted space" in the Witch's Mansion. The power of ", the attack seems to have the attribute of "ultra-long distance" teleportation, it seems that it is still far away, but when it comes to slap, it is already close!

The flying arrow hit the giant puppet's palm steadily, so the body, which had just received the magic power to slash and hit the ass, was pierced through the palm by the arrow, and the huge force pushed the giant puppet's arm along The position of the palm began to be torn and smashed all the way. It was the special effect of the equipment's built-in skill "Canxin" that ignored defense that was showing its power!

But Riel pulled the bowstring without saying a word, and a little magic light condensed on the bowstring into a magic arrow that was condensed like the flowing moonlight...

Equipped with the second skill - "Shooting the Moon", at the cost of mana consumption, an additional magic arrow will be condensed. The magic arrow will cause 1.2 times the damage of the previous arrow, and cannot trigger the "remnant heart" skill , Skill cooldown for three hours!

The body of the giant puppet whose arm was shattered lost its balance, and its huge body retreated several steps. The astonishing tonnage collided with the ground and made a loud noise like thunder. However, before the giant puppet regained its balance, it was like moonlight The arrow of condensed magic power came to the front in a flash, and the head of the giant puppet... exploded completely under this blow.

Riel, who was hit by two arrows, raised his hand and pressed a mechanism on the longbow, and suddenly a shining blade-like structure popped out from the silver-white bow arm. Riel took out the holy sword with the other hand, and jumped on the spot twice. Gathering up his strength, he stepped vigorously and dashed forward.

"Eat my Starburst and Abandon Healing Slash!!!"

The bow in the left hand, the sword in the right hand, and the sixteen consecutive slashes with two weapons in an instant depicted a dazzling trajectory. The sword hit and smashed a leg of the giant doll. At the same time, the BGM has also reached its climax.

"ended……"

Riel flew forward and kicked the giant puppet. Although this kick was just a tickle for the giant puppet, Riel also used the force of the recoil to shake his body away. When he turned around in the air, the holy sword had been caught Riel rested on the bowstring, as he said, this is...

...the final blow!

The holy sword nailed the body of the giant puppet in half. After receiving such a series of blows, the giant puppet finally shook twice and fell to the ground with a bang, without any movement.

"It's done..."

Riel took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and pulled out the holy sword nailed to the ground after piercing the body of the giant puppet, put it in the bag with the spirit bow, and turned his eyes to the silent Alice.

The girl holding the doll was silent, her body gradually became transparent, and finally, she disappeared into the hall without saying a word.

"This counts as a victory? By the way, Brother Rier, didn't you shoot the last arrow quite accurately? Why did you miss the first arrow?"

After all, for the last arrow, the Riel people were in mid-air, and there was no leverage around them. Just like this, the reverse arrow in the air was a bit like a "blind sniper". It didn't even aim, and it could be said that it hit the chest directly. Brushed up the fashion, but since they all hit the target in this situation, why did they miss the target when they first aimed at the immovable target controlled by Sapphire?

"...Oh, that, to be honest, there is a half chance that I will miss the shot, but it's just a try, and if it succeeds, it's considered fashionable."

What, failed?If it fails, it is naturally a failure of pretending, but anyway, there is already a lesson learned from the first arrow. If this arrow is shot crookedly, it will be crooked. That's right, after using the skill twice, the random arrow method The effect of the weapon has also been shown. When using bow and arrow weapons, there is a 50.00% probability that your attack will become a must hit...

... So Ruier felt that this move should be used in conjunction with another archery technique "spraying arrows" in the future, and the effect must be quite good.

"Sure enough, there are the same things here..." Safiri took out a torn piece of paper from the torn body of the giant puppet when Riel was arguing with Fei, which was the same as the one that Riel got before. It is exactly the same, needless to say, this thing is definitely a ritual prop used to drive the mechanism.

Thinking of this, Riel and Fei directly stretched out their hands and lightly pressed on the piece of paper...

"Hey... what's your name?"

"I...have no name..."

"Really? It's so pitiful, then... I will give you my name. From today on, your name will be Alice~"

"Alice?"

"Yes, Alice, my name... is also your name. From today onwards, we are friends~"

"friend?"

"Yes, it's helping each other, trusting each other, a relationship like relatives~"

"So, does Alice have any other friends?"

"...No, I...have no friends"

"Okay, it's decided. I'll be Alice's friend. From today, we're friends."

Yes, that's it, Alice and Alice's friendship, from today onwards, we will be friends forever...

...forever~

"Alice is talking to the puppet like that again..." Alice's father looked at his daughter who was whispering to the puppet speechlessly.

Since getting the doll, Alice has become a lot more cheerful. This is indeed a good sign, but there is one more distressing thing, that is, Alice has always claimed that she can hear the voice of the doll, and she can communicate with the doll. Talk, and treat that puppet as your friend.

...How could the puppet talk?

"You, isn't it a good thing that my daughter has become cheerful? Since Alice thinks that the doll can talk, then it's good to believe that, my dear, don't you want to hit the child's beautiful imagination~"

Alice's mother blamed her husband in this way, and Alice's father naturally quickly apologized in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, what you taught is that our lovely daughter is an innocent, romantic and fantasy-loving little princess. Of course, we can't destroy the beautiful world of the little princess. However, tonight, have you prepared everything you need?"

For the magic ritual that can heal Alice, the materials needed really troubled the man's brain, and the time for preparation was not enough, only three days.

Fortunately, the man did his best for his daughter, relying on his contacts in the kingdom and a large number of silver bullets to open the way, forcing him to prepare all the materials for the ceremony, including many precious magic materials.

Since so many precious and rare magic materials are used, it can be seen that it should be a very powerful magic ceremony, which makes Alice's father look forward to the effect of the ceremony.

Then, the man came to the hall of the villa to set up the scene required for the ceremony. His method was very weird. Alice's father had also seen many powerful magicians, but he had never seen the method used by this man at this moment, and Alice His father had secretly sent contacts to investigate this man, but he only got the history of this man's study at the Royal Academy of Magic, but his grades were not very good at that time.

After that, he disappeared for a long time. After this blank period, he returned to the kingdom, showed amazing magic skills, and became famous in a short period of time. Alice's father knew him at that time of.

In short, although this man is mysterious, he does have real abilities, so Alice's father trusts him... Of course, it can also be said that apart from this man, Alice's father's other means of trust are all It has been confirmed that her daughter cannot be treated.

"Hehe, the preparations have been very successful. I can guarantee that the ceremony will be a success. Thanks to you for preparing so many precious materials, you even prepared spare parts."

Facing what the man said, Alice's father just replied calmly, "Of course, for the sake of my daughter, there can be no mistakes at all. If you have more copies, you will have more guarantees. Please."

"Of course, by the way, where is Miss Alice? I also need to confirm the status of the lady."

So, Alice's father came to Alice's room together with the man, and asked a few symbolic questions, and Alice answered seriously while holding the doll.

"Hehe, very good. It seems that you are fully prepared, Miss. Then, I hereby promise that Miss will be fully recovered tonight!"

"Well, I'm looking forward to it~ You can start anytime, anywhere~"

Then, Alice watched the man and her father leave. Immediately, she lowered her head slightly, and the bangs on her forehead covered half of her face, covering her eyes in the shadows so that she couldn't see clearly.

She gently stroked the puppet in her arms, and spoke in a voice that no one heard...

"This child and I...are ready, let's start quickly, I have already..."

At this moment, in the girl's innocent words, there is a chill that makes people stand on end...

"...I can't wait~"

Chapter 39 "Forever" Girl ([-])

With so many high-quality materials prepared and the carefully calculated ritual process, there should be absolutely no accidents, so why...

...Why did the ceremony suddenly go so violently? !

The man's heart was full of astonishment, and his face was completely frozen in an expression of incomparable astonishment. He couldn't understand, and couldn't imagine which step he made a mistake.

In the center of the ritual circle, the blond girl sitting in a wheelchair in the center of the magic coat of arms just calmly stroked the puppet in her arms, then raised her head to the surprised man, revealing a A smile that made his whole body shudder.

"It's finally started, really, Alice... I've been waiting for a long, long time~"

The man tried to say something, but his body was completely rigid, as if all the muscles in his body were frozen, and the expression on his face was frozen. He couldn't do anything, he could only talk to Alice's parents who were also confused , quietly listening to Alice's story.

"Hehe, Uncle, your plan is really good, and your preparations are also very good. Your ceremony is about to succeed. If it really succeeds, Alice and Mom and Dad will become obedient to Uncle's words." My doll, let my uncle manipulate it~"

One sentence exposed the man's real purpose. Alice's parents were still in great shock, but the man had already understood the problem.

It is impossible for a little girl like Alice to see through his plan, who...someone exposed his plan!

Yes, a certain "thing", a certain "prop" needed for the ceremony, in order to be able to actually connect with Alice, the key figure in the ceremony, the man sent that thing to Alice in advance, but now it seems that, This step, which was originally a wonderful move, has become the biggest failure.

He stared fixedly at the prop that betrayed him... the puppet in Alice's arms!

And looking at his expression, he seems to want to ask "why"...

"Because Alice is Alice's friend...so, isn't it natural to help a friend?"

As if reading what the man wanted to ask, an ethereal voice sounded, and Alice's expression remained unchanged. Obviously, she had already known the owner of the voice, while Alice's parents were completely dumbfounded. , They looked at Alice... To be precise, they looked at the doll in Alice's arms.

A series of abnormal words of the daughter during this period were recalled by them...

"Mom and Dad, Alice... have friends~"

"She is Alice's friend, ah, Alice is not a toy or a doll, Alice is Alice's friend! She can talk!"

Yes, Alice didn't try to hide any truth from her parents at the beginning, but her parents just took that amazing fact as a joke, so the current situation happened.

"Alice, I finally know what disease I have~" Seeing that everyone else was stunned, Alice continued to speak slowly, "The name of the disease is very complicated, and Alice can't understand it, but it is said The cause of this disease is that Alice's soul cannot be compatible with her body, so no matter how healthy Alice's body is, because of the incompatibility between the two parties, the body cannot be controlled by the soul."

To put it simply, it is like a computer with no hardware problems, but because there is no hardware driver installed, even if the hardware has no problems, it cannot work normally.

This is the case with Alice, so there is only one way to treat her rare condition that is not even considered a disease.

Use the souls of other human beings as sacrifices to repair Alice's soul that was damaged by the grief of losing her sister and the suffering of illness!

However, this ceremony was not something little Alice could do alone, and the sacrifices for the ceremony were also difficult to handle, but someone prepared everything by herself.

Now that the preparations have been made to this point, it is impossible not to thank the other party for their kindness. Alice is a good and obedient child, so Alice decided to thank this uncle well~

"Let uncle's soul become Alice's property. From now on, Alice will always thank you for your efforts~"

After all, Alice clasped her hands together and gave the man a playful wink. At the same time, the ceremony had reached its final stage. The man disappeared with his ridiculous plot before he even had time to say a word...

His body, on the other hand, maintained that astonished expression and forever became a living doll that lost its soul and could not rot...

"Oh, by the way, there is another problem. Alice's soul is too severely injured, and the reversal of the ceremony itself requires a lot of strength, so, just the uncle's soul is not enough, Dad, Mom... you guys have always loved Alice... right?"

At this moment, Alice's parents were startled. They didn't know when it started, but the light of the ritual circle had gathered at their feet.

After experiencing a moment of extremely complicated emotional changes, in the end, the couple showed extremely free and easy smiles at the same time.

"Ah, yes, it was because of my incompetence that I caused you and your sister to suffer so much. Now, it can be regarded as atonement. I'm sorry...Alice, really...I'm sorry..."

Alice's father, with tears running down his face, left such last words to his daughter who tried to claim his life.

"Hehe, my dear daughter, no matter what kind of thing you want, mother will give it to you. However, in this way, Alice will only be alone in the future. After that, Alice will recover, right? Then ...Even if there is only one person, you must be happy..."

The final farewell ended here, and the light of the ceremony completely engulfed the figures of the couple...

The flickering light in the hall finally receded, and the girl who had been sitting silently in the wheelchair suddenly raised her head, and then stood up cautiously.

Her body has indeed recovered.

"Really, Mom still made a mistake, didn't you tell me? Alice is not alone, Alice's words..." The blond girl hugged the doll in her arms tightly, and spoke again as if to confirm something, " ...Alice has her best friend by her side, so don't worry, and besides, I've always loved you all, dad, mom~"

The girl walked up to the corpses of her parents, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she suddenly smiled.

"Ah, by the way, there is another way~ In this way, we can be together forever, hey, dad, mom...Alice, I want more cute dolls...you can ?"

While speaking, an incredible light flashed from the girl's raised finger. While healing her soul, she also awakened a special power through this. Now she can use a brand new identity call yourself...

..."Witch" Alice!

The reading of the memory is over here, Riel already knows the plot, so the mood swings are not big, but Sapphire and Fei are a little dazed.

"Although I probably guessed the process a little bit, but that witch Miss Alice is really completely broken."

Just as Safiley finished sighing, Riel shrugged her shoulders, "If we want to investigate the reason, it's probably because of that kind of experience, which made Alice's parents feel that they owed their daughter too much. Any request is answered, but the contrast caused by the experience of being bedridden caused the girl's heart to be distorted, taking the endless demands for granted, and thinking that her beloved parents should give everything for her, including their lives... ..."

To be honest, if Alice's health can be exchanged for death, Alice's parents will definitely not refuse according to the atonement-like doting love of Alice's parents, so they didn't even have any resistance, and at the last moment of death, stay There are only guilt and blessings.

But it still feels a bit wrong.
