DNF, made by the ancient gods

Gu Shu's voice changed, and he seemed a little surprised.

"Are you going to help this girl? With all due respect, such a person is not worth it..."

"I think I can get something I want from her, so I don't mind giving her a little help... I believe that she can give me a 'return' that satisfies me."

Hearing this, Gu Shu was also slightly taken aback.

"If this is your will, then I won't comment much... and compared to this matter, I can't wait to exchange some magic knowledge with you."

The ancient tree who thought he had taken advantage of it said:

"Most of the things I can give you are not offensive. You also know that although we old guys who have matured from old trees have a lot of knowledge, the magic we are keen on is also some 'little tricks', which is not as good as those wizards. .”

—he had no idea.

"So, I hope you don't think I'm taking advantage of you."

Gu Shu, who arbitrarily defined Baige as a native wizard, laughed. He didn't know that Baige didn't know what it was good at, but Baige still nodded his approval for its "honesty".

"No, I am very interested in the magic in your mouth..."

A smile gradually appeared in his eyes. Considering the current situation, his destructive magic would not have much effect. Therefore, he was looking forward to those "little tricks" that Gu Shu said.

As for what he wants to give to the other party?

Didn't he decide it himself?

*

The two beautiful girls have hearts that are more pathetic than Cinderella. If Cinderella is forced out of such a gloomy and hopeless life, then the two of them are pure dark psychology.

It is not easy for Baige to comment on this kind of person. After all, he himself is a "weak" who survives by devouring the "weak". I don't know how much blood of the same race and monsters.

Although... he is still the same after becoming an element blaster.

"Where did you die just now! Hurry up and mop the floor for me. If you move slowly, I hope you will feel better!"

The eldest sister was wearing a beautiful dress, pointing at the overturned tea on the ground with a domineering look, while the second sister was sitting aside, covering her mouth and chuckling, her eyes were extremely contemptuous.

They all look down on Cinderella.

The obedient girl nodded in panic, hurried over to find a rag, bent down and wiped the floor vigorously, obviously she was also her father's daughter, but she could only do the things that a servant should do.

After she finally wiped the floor clean, the two older sisters who stayed to watch her jokes to pass the time covered their mouths slightly sleepily and walked towards their respective boudoirs.

Cinderella breathed a sigh of relief, she was very glad that her two older sisters showed sleepiness on this refreshing morning, so they didn't have the mood to continue to torment her.

——What a blessing.

She gently twists her patched skirt, and she sometimes wonders when was the last time she wore a beautiful dress, and the answer is often simple-before her stepmother arrived.

Thinking like this, she was a little silent.

In this era of extremely poor spiritual life, people's entertainment methods are often monotonous and easy to get bored, and... most of those entertainment methods can only be played by noble gentlemen, like the merchant family she belongs to...

Anyway, her sisters still have fun teasing her, but what about her?I can only spend my time on meaningless things like taking care of vegetation, birds and animals every day.

Although she felt troubled and didn't want to tire herself so much, Cinderella still honestly picked up the watering can, raised her head neatly, and got up.

Then, she saw a nightingale with a light brown coat without any brilliant colors, and this little bird that likes to sing at night was silent, its dark eyes were fixed on her, and deep in its pupils, there was still a nightingale. There is a touch of bright red that girls can't find.

"You are……"

She frowned, and then the girl smiled again. It's not like she hasn't seen this kind of bird before.Yes, her father once gave her a nightingale.

But at that time, she was still young and could show a pure smile because she chose to release him.

"A new friend?"

Finally, she stretched out her hand, hesitating whether to touch this new friend, but when she saw that Nightingale just tilted her head and stared blankly at her without avoiding it, she put her hand on it with peace of mind.

"It's so cute. You don't have the gorgeous coats of other birds, but you also have your own irreplaceable characteristics, right..."

Sitting on the ancient tree, closing his eyes and slowly refining the magic power transmitted by the Eye of Darkness, and slowly expanding his body's ability to withstand the magic power, the man trembled.

The man with his eyes closed moved his fingers as if he had witnessed something interesting, or as if a hunter had seen a wild beast enter the trap.

Chapter 004 The Magician and Cinderella

"Are you going to lure her over?"

Seeing that the magic that was just exchanged to Baige was easily used by him, Gu Shu, who was not very talented, couldn't help but make a sound.

"If you can't even meet each other, where do you start when you want to help?"

He doesn't want to be a selfless person who silently contributes to others. Compared to being such a fool, he prefers to be rewarded by the "helped".

That being the case, it is necessary for the person being helped to know the helper.

"Help..."

The ancient tree was a little silent, it didn't quite understand what Baige wanted to do.

"Young traveler, I hope you will be careful. You have to know that there are many powerful wizards in this world. If you move too much, it is easy to attract their attention."

——The means are all-powerful?

He frowned, keeping his eyes open for a while.

The way of survival of the weak is to walk in the gap between life and death. If there is no unwavering faith to support them, how can they go on.

"Just wait and see."

*

The girl went outside and walked along the path paved with gravel, and beside her was a lovely nightingale.

"New friend, why have you been following me?"

The girl in shabby clothes covered her mouth and smiled softly, her laughter was like a bell, sweet and pleasant to the ears.

He didn't respond directly to Cinderella's words, because a newly learned magic is a bit reluctant to use. He is relying on his magic power far beyond the level to forcibly support such a "familiar", and any rookie wizard can do it. It's a big talk, maybe in less than 3 minutes, the nightingale will recover itself because of the disappearance of the magic power, and scream to stay away from this girl.

"Hey, I forgot, you probably can't speak..."

She felt extremely happy, and the nightingale followed her like a loyal follower, allowing her to stroke and get close to her.

——This is something that has never happened before.

To be honest, in the past, no matter how many benefits she gave to those small animals, they would run away after eating her food. This made her feel that she was doing some useless work.

But now this nightingale gave her a different result, how could this not make her extremely happy?She even began to imagine whether this was a gift from God, whether her kindness over the years would take away her suffering.

At different stages, people want different things. Now Cinderella is still very satisfied. She wants a "friend" who can talk to herself. She wants to see her efforts get rewarded. It's that simple.

——The human heart is very complicated, but sometimes it is unexpectedly simple.

The magician was sitting under the tree, holding the unknown book in his hand. After his "cognition", all the magical knowledge taught to him by the ancient tree has been recorded in this "infinite" book On - it can display "information" and also record the "information" seen by the white cell.Previously, Baige had recorded most of the knowledge of the demon world in this book, including the magic knowledge required by the main profession and the knowledge of the four major sub-professions.

However, he doesn't need the latter yet, and just records it in this book as "miscellaneous learning", and will read it later when he has time.

"The magic you are good at is really interesting."

"Some small tricks, if you want to beat me, my friend, it should be very simple, right?"

The ancient tree sighed, it already knew what Baige was good at - destruction, destruction, death!

Although the few spells he exchanged for it were low-level, but when you disassembled the principles, you can find that they are almost born for battle-saving cumbersome singing and unnecessary waste of magic power, and using every power They are all used on the tip of the knife to achieve an extremely terrifying lethality.

In his hands, the transparent "ice" turned into a sharp sword harder than steel, and in his hands, the warm "fire" became a raging flame that burns everything, and... unheard of "light" and "darkness" the power of.

What kind of person would create such magic for killing?And what kind of person would put his enthusiasm for "truth" into this "weapon"?

It has no way of knowing, but it can also understand that Baige is definitely not as easy to talk to as he appears on the surface. He was able to have a good conversation with himself before, probably because he didn't understand his own details, but now...

The old face looked at the man sitting quietly under the tree, his enthusiasm for "truth" was like a furnace burning with flames more terrifying than the sun, he was obsessed with "magic", he was obsessed with "power".

——It has seen many people like this, they may die on their own path of seeking, or they may become...

Immediately, his heart trembled - the ancient tree noticed that a nightingale had stopped on the branch at some time, tilting its head and staring at the depths of its pair of dark eyeballs, with an unobservable blood color glowing.

Under the tree, the magician was slowly flipping through the books in hand, but the elements danced around him. His perception of elements was outstanding, and his aptitude in this regard was even praised by most of his peers.

Of course, his aptitude to extract magic power was ridiculed by most of his peers.

Therefore, he chose another path - to generate magic power from within his body, and he no longer needed to extract the magic power himself from the Eye of Darkness.

It was very painful, as if someone took a needle and then viciously pierced that needle into his heart.

The Eye of Darkness replaced the original heart and was beating slowly. This "heart" would bring him almost endless magic power, but the price was that when he refined the magic power, he would be accompanied by endless pain.

These pains will deepen as he grows stronger, tormenting him forever, keeping his spirit in a state of high tension forever.

You know, ten days before he had just transplanted the Eye of Darkness, he couldn't even fall asleep because of the pain, and later he had to use medicine to keep his body healthy and avoid sudden death due to lack of sleep.

Of course, the current him has initially adapted to this "pain".

Pain will become his strength, and he has no way out—at that time, in order to prevent his heart from being used as a medium of "curse" by some magicians in the future, he even personally burned his replaced heart to ashes , and completely cut off his own way of retreat.

——When the living place is hell, the weak have no choice.

——If you want to survive, then do everything you can to become strong.

Chapter 005 The Magician and Cinderella

"What an interesting and beautiful world... you say, right?"

Standing on the empty streets, the sanitary conditions of the medieval people were indeed a bit... unsightly, but for Baige, it was not unacceptable.

After all, no matter how dirty or messy a place is, it is better than a place where people will die at any time.Like the devil world, the hygienic conditions in the devil world are indeed better than this world, but a low-level magician like him is living in purgatory.

Observing the world through the eyes of the nightingale, paying attention to the general layout of the city, and listening to the conversations of the people - what interests him most is that the country of this country will hold a banquet in three days, inviting all Beautiful women and versatile men are participating...Of course, if you are a nobleman, it is not so difficult to enter this banquet.

"However, as a human being, my troubles are destined not to be cut off. You see, if it is far away, I will worry about birth, old age, sickness and death; if it is close, I will feel sad because of my current life. Chance for a change..."

Nightingale tilted her head, her dark eyes stared at the girl's side face, she saw that she was a little lost looking at the announcement posted on the stone wall, and Baige could see many things in her eyes—he wanted to see s things.

"You see, if I can become the king's wife, then I can get rid of the current life. You may not know it? The queen of this country died three months ago, and the king has no new concubine. If If you become the king's wife, then Baobuqi will be able to sit on the queen's position smoothly... Then life will be carefree, comparable to heaven on earth, it is really fascinating."

There is no one around, because all the girls who think they are beautiful have already dressed themselves up at home. They bet their happiness for the rest of their lives on a 40-year-old man, and are willing to give their all for this hard-to-get happiness. energy.

Turning her head, Nightingale flapped her wings suddenly, and then let out a sharp cry, flying around the girl, but dropped an object from her toes.

—It was a pearl.

There was surprise in her eyes, but the next moment, the girl happily picked up the pearl that had rolled on the ground, wiped off the dust with her dress, and watched it glow with a "noble" color:

"It's unbelievable, how did you have this pearl... Besides, you are so young, how can you hide these things on your body?"

Nightingale didn't answer directly—this pearl was just a product of magical illusion, and any wizard standing here would be able to see through it at a glance.

Her own senses were deceived, but the girl didn't know it. When she looked up, she saw the nightingale flying over her head. Since she couldn't see the nightingale due to her blind spot, she felt a sinking on the top of her head. He touched it, but took down a crown inlaid with various precious stones - this is an ornament that only the queen can wear, if anyone else sees it, they will be beheaded.

Joy was revealed in her eyes. She held the crown in her hand and looked at it carefully, only to see Nightingale swoop down and lift up the crown with both feet. During the stalemate, the crown was taken away by Nightingale.

Then, Nightingale entered her blind spot again, but this time it failed to bring any new treasures. It finally stopped in front of Cinderella, looking at her quietly.

In this regard, the girl couldn't help but feel pain in her heart, a sense of misery caused by being fooled filled her heart.So, there were tears in the corners of her eyes:

"My friend, what do you mean? Why do you tease me like this? Do you take pleasure in your friend's pain?"

The nightingale called softly, and it was very quiet here, because the king's notice had been posted for a while, and everyone was busy at home, regardless of gender.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

It flew to the front of the notice, and its feet lightly stuck to the word Queen.

"You mean to say...you can't make me queen right away, but can you help me get the king's favor in three days' time?"

In Cinderella's gradually brightening eyes, the clever Nightingale nodded slowly.

*

Baige was immersed in a world of light spots.

In the subjective view of magicians in the devil world, everything in the universe, including matter and energy, is composed of the most basic five elements - ice, fire, light, darkness, nothing... For magicians, useful Only the first four elements.

Of course, different worlds may have different understandings of magic, and even the classification of elements may vary greatly, which is related to the "rules" of different worlds.But if we talk about it in essence, we can use one word to describe the magic between different worlds - different routes lead to the same goal.

Drive the magic power to control the elements. This is a compulsory course for every magician. The so-called magician's practice is to constantly understand these elements, constantly refine his own magic power, and then use these magic powers to control the elements and use "magic" .

"I think...the elements should be adjusted, not forced to use them."

Feeling the light spots symbolizing "elements" flying around him, the man whose reputation has never been related to praise words showed a smile.He wasn't superstitious about the thing the books said - the element of enslavement.
