I don't want to be an elf!

Although the breath of this thing was stable and it showed no desire to corrode under the suppression of Black Candle Master, putting his hand on it still made Yatogami Tohka feel strong resistance in his heart.

She could tell that what she was touching wasn't Swann's body, or anything like that.

It is more like a source of some kind of distortion formed after the fusion of the curse in Swan's body and Tokisaki Kurumi's spirit crystal.

Black Candle is right.

Floating mainland islands, only she can solve this thing.

"Under my suppression, this thing won't invade your body." Hei Zhugong said, "All you need to do is pour spiritual power into it and slowly guide the spiritual crystals inside it out , once the spirit crystal is separated, I can control the remaining power of the curse."

"Okay, I see."

Yatogami Tohka nodded nervously, mobilizing the spiritual power in her body.

Magic power and spiritual power belong to two different power systems.

Although there are similarities, it is easy to tell the two apart.

Therefore, when Yatogami Tohka poured spiritual power into the source of distortion she was touching, her spiritual power soon resonated with the spiritual power in it.

Black Candle Lord didn't teach her how to guide the spirit crystals out.

But it's actually not that difficult.

Yatogami Tohka handed over the direction of control to instinct, gradually calmed down, and slowly searched for the spiritual crystal hidden in it.

Soon, she had a harvest.

"what?"

When she followed the spiritual power in the source of distortion and found the spiritual crystal that was fused with the curse, she couldn't help letting out a sigh.

Although she couldn't see anything, she could feel that there seemed to be something wrong with the spiritual crystal at this moment through the fluctuations from the spiritual resonance.

Magical power and spiritual power are different, and there is also a difference between spiritual power and spiritual power.

Every elf has its own wavelength of spiritual power, which is an important part of their identity.

In the last world, she who played the role of Tokisaki Kurumi naturally knew the wavelength of Tokisaki Kurumi's spiritual power.

However, at this moment, the spirit crystal belonging to Tokisaki Kurumi revealed a strange feeling.

Is it because of the influence of the curse?

The situation was clearly beyond her knowledge.

But no matter what, now that the spiritual crystal in the source of distortion has been located, all that is left to do is to guide it out.

No longer hesitating, Yatogami Tohka manipulated her spiritual power and came into contact with the spiritual crystal located in the center of the source of distortion.

"Om--!"

Just when she was about to wrap her spiritual power around the spirit crystal and slowly move it outward, the spirit crystal suddenly vibrated.

As if some switch was pressed, with the vibration of the spirit crystal, the entire source of distortion rioted like boiling hot water.

Black Candle, who was in charge of the suppression, the soul fire in his eyes vibrated wildly.

Before he had time to ask Yatogami Tohka what he did, in order to stabilize the curse here, he mobilized all his remaining magic power, and summoned all the black mist that shrouded the castle inside and outside into this room.

The boiling curse calmed down a little.

But only temporarily.

"No matter what method you use, pull out the spirit crystal immediately!" Hei Zhugong said with some difficulty in his voice, "I can't last long!"

Hearing these words, Yatogami Tohka gritted her teeth and stopped holding back.

Purple spiritual light bloomed from her hands, illuminating part of the room shrouded in black mist.

A large amount of spiritual power rushed towards the spiritual crystal, Yatogami Tohka mobilized the most spiritual power he could release at one time, trying to shake the spiritual crystal in the source of distortion.

"Om--!"

Under Yatogami Tohka's involvement, the frequency of the spirit crystal's vibration became higher.

It seems that some critical point has been reached. The spirit crystal that was originally resisting movement suddenly released a huge amount of spiritual power.

It's like two people who were in a tug of war, one of them suddenly gave up the tug of war and rushed towards the other!

The spiritual power from the source of distortion devoured and assimilated Yatogami Toka's spiritual power at an extremely fast speed.

This spirit crystal is actually pulling Yatogami Toka's spirit crystal in the opposite direction!

Yatogami Tohka's expression changed, and she instinctively wanted to cut off the connection between the two spiritual crystals.

However, she was still a step too late.

"Ding----!"

The spirit crystal in the source of distortion touched the spirit crystal in her body with the help of Yatogami Tohka's spiritual power at lightning speed.

Yatogami Tohka only felt in a trance, and his consciousness gradually drifted to the horizon amidst the crisp ding.

The body in the Shenwei Lingzhuang swayed, she couldn't control her body, and soon fell to the ground.

"Hey! Are you alright!"

Vaguely, she seemed to hear Hei Zhugong's urgent voice.

But she no longer had the ability to respond.

With complete loss of consciousness, she closed her eyes.

----------

----------

When Yatogami Tohka opened her eyes again, she had come to a different place.

The originally dark room disappeared at some point.

In its place is a spacious library.

Rows of books are neatly placed on the bookshelves, and the boundaries cannot be seen at a glance.

It's like an ocean of books.

Yatogami Tohka swallowed, not understanding what happened.

"here is......?"

She instinctively questioned.

"This is the forbidden library of the Emperor's Capital Sage Tower, a library that gathers all the wisdom of mankind."

It was originally a question she was talking to herself, and she didn't think she could get an answer.

But behind her, a boy's voice sounded and answered her question.

Yatogami Tohka turned around and looked.

I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy answering her questions while arranging books.

The young man had shoulder-length pale blond hair and was dressed in a white robe, looking delicate and lovely.

Yatogami Tohka had never seen this boy before.

However, somehow he felt familiar.

But in any case, everything that happened now was beyond her control.

Shenwei Lingzhuang and Ji Shagong appeared on her body, and she pointed the tip of the sword at the boy not far away with a vigilant expression.

"Haha, I really didn't recognize it, but it's true, you seem to have never seen the old man before."

Putting the last book into the bookshelf, the boy patted the dust in his hands and looked at Yatogami Tohka with a smile.

"The old man's name is Swan Kandel, welcome to the old man's consciousness."

Chapter 61 The Death of a Sage

After hearing the boy's self-proclaimed name and the name of this space, although it didn't appear on the surface, the girl still understood what happened.

Obviously, after the curse in Swan's body went berserk due to the spirit crystal, this guy lost his real body, and his consciousness was attached to the spirit crystal, in a half-life and half-dead state.

When she released her spiritual power and wanted to pull out the spirit crystal in the source of distortion, Shi Wan, who resided in the spirit crystal, also felt what happened outside, and urged the spirit crystal to pull her into her own in the space of consciousness.

"Can you tell me about the outside situation?" Swan asked, "Since I lost my real body, I have no idea about the outside situation."

"But isn't your consciousness still in the spirit crystal?"

"Just staying in the spiritual crystal does not mean that I control this thing." Swann said helplessly, "You can also understand that I am trapped in the spiritual crystal."

"Okay, then I'll make a long story short."

Yatogami Toka cleared her throat and said briefly: "The curse in your body and the spiritual power of the spiritual crystal merged to become the source of distortion that can destroy the entire floating continent archipelago. Now it is temporarily suppressed by the Black Candle Lord. , and I was asked by him to take out the spiritual crystal from the source of distortion, so that it will dissipate automatically."

"Is that so?"

After listening to Yatogami Tohka's retelling, Swann did not show the slightest expression of surprise on his face and said with approval: "This is the most appropriate way to deal with it. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise that guy Black Candle Gong is very powerful." It may not be possible to suppress it for too long.”

"Yes, he said he would suppress it for up to two months."

Yatogami Tohka nodded, and then asked: "Speaking of which, your body in the real world has disappeared, what should you do after I take out the spirit crystal?"

"Well, my consciousness will probably disappear as well."

Shi Wan replied calmly, twisting his neck slowly, and looked at the huge library: "The old man's curse has affected the spirit crystal, so the old man's consciousness can reside on it. If the spirit crystal is taken out, the old man's spirit crystal will A piece of consciousness space will also lose its foothold, and the old man will naturally disappear."

"This......"

Yatogami Tohka opened his mouth, and asked hesitantly, "Can you accept it?"

The humans in this world are really unlikable, especially the brave men who know the truth about the world but still choose to betray.

Coupled with the matter of the golden goblin, this made her completely dislike Swann.

The willingness to hand over the spirit crystal to him is purely to cooperate with him and find a way to complete the task.

However, facing this person who calmly said the words of going to death, her heart told her that she couldn't just leave it alone.

Looking at the kind girl in front of him, a smile appeared on Shi Wan's face.

"This old man should have died 500 years ago. To be honest, I'm tired after living so long."

Swann took a deep breath, looked out the library window, and let it out slowly.

This is his consciousness space.

There is nothing outside the library.

But he seemed to be able to see something, and the youth's clear blue eyes were covered with vicissitudes.

"Son, do you have any ideals?"

After a long silence, Shi Wan suddenly asked: "I know this may be an embarrassing question for you who have lost your memory, but I still want to know your answer."

"Ideal? What is that?" Yatogami Tohka showed a puzzled expression.

"It's what you want to do, what you have to do no matter what, and what you have to accomplish no matter how much sacrifice you make."

"Well......"

Yatogami Tohka pondered for a long time.

Under Swann's gaze, she seemed to have thought of something and said tentatively:

"I want...to protect Nephren and the others.

I want Nefren to be able to travel around the world to practice her cooking skills, I want Chedoli to live with William as lovers, I want Atheya to be carefree forever, and I want Nigolan to stop working for us. Worry, I want Randolulu to be able to learn the knowledge she wants to learn, and I want Nafu to go where she wants to go freely...

I don’t have any great ideals, I don’t want to change the world, and I don’t want to save everyone.

It's just that I want to protect the people I like.

I want them to live happily.

Is something like this... ideal? "

As if knowing that what he wanted to do was too small compared to Swann's ideal of regaining the ground, Yatogami Tohka lowered her head in embarrassment.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for Shi Wan's response, she carefully raised her head again and looked at his expression.

However, what she saw was not contempt and ridicule, but a smiling face.
