While eating, Steele couldn't stop trembling. She was terrified to the extreme.
Was she going to be hanged? According to her knowledge of the law, it seemed that it should be so.
If she were the judge, it would not be too much to sentence a person who committed a crime and slept in court during the trial. On the contrary, it would be reasonable to sentence her to be hanged.
However, she did not want to die!
She was not a person who was not afraid of death. Especially during this time, she had been to many places and experienced many things. She felt that the world was vast and there were many things worth seeing and playing. How could she bear to die now!
Yesterday, she had just played a big game and had a great time. However, in the blink of an eye, she was going to die … How unlucky!
She did not doubt Sui Xiong's words. The jellyfish god's angry look was not fake. In fact, she felt lucky that she was not killed on the spot.
However, this was nothing more than a little delay in the execution …
She ate the meal tasteless. Because she was afraid, she even dropped the spoon on the table several times. When she reluctantly finished the meal, packed her luggage and left the village, she became even more nervous.
If she was going to be hanged, of course it should be outside the village. It was impolite to hang a dead person in someone else's village!
When they walked for a while and passed by a crooked tree, Sui Xiong ordered everyone to stop.
"It's almost here. This tree is suitable," he said fiercely and murderously. "Steele, are you ready?"
Hearing this, Steele thought it was finally time to hang herself. Her legs could no longer stand, and she collapsed on the ground.
Ray's eyes widened in surprise. He had always thought that Sui was just joking, or that he was just bluffing but not doing anything. At most, he was just trying to scare Steele. He had never expected that His Majesty, the Void Mask, would really execute Steele according to the law and hang her to death.
If he could see the top of his head, he would know that his previous guess was right. Although the green jellyfish's tone was very fierce, his eyes were clearly smiling.
Sui Xiong gently waved his tentacles and flew up from Ray's head. With a shake of his body, he transformed into a giant jellyfish that was larger than a house. His tentacles emitted a magical blue light, and they looked like thick ropes or ferocious pythons that could trap and strangle any enemy.
When a tentacle wrapped around Steele, although she was usually very strange, she couldn't help but scream loudly.
However, Sui Xiong did not hang her to the crooked tree next to him. Instead, he opened his bloody mouth and swallowed her.
Ray was so stunned that he even forgot to ask what was going on.
Where's the hanging? How did it become swallowed alive? Your Majesty Jellyfish God, aren't you just like a big tree basking in the sun and drinking some water? How did it suddenly turn into a man-eating monster?
This doesn't seem right!
After a while, the jellyfish opened its mouth and spat out Steele again. However, there was no longer a band on her forehead. Instead, there was a circle pattern that looked like a birthmark on the back of each of her hands.
The circle on her left hand was red, and the circle on her right hand was blue. If you looked carefully, you would find that each circle had two layers, one inside and one outside. In the middle, there were vertical strips that separated the circles into twelve equal squares.
Among the twelve squares of the red circle, there was a small flame dancing on the first square, just like a flame. The twelve squares of the blue circle were empty, with nothing in them.
"I thought about it very seriously, and I felt that the previous method of the Band Curse was too simple and crude, and it was not a good idea to rely on Ray's supervision." Sui Xiong coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said to the two people who still didn't understand what was going on, "So I decided to change the method."
"The two circles on your hands, the red one represents' desire, 'and the blue one represents' virtue. ' Whenever your heart's desire rises, the flame in the red circle will increase. Once all twelve flames are ignited … "
Speaking of this, he stopped, coughed twice, and deliberately kept them guessing.
Ray, who had gotten used to his style of speaking, immediately understood what he meant, and asked with a smile, "What will happen?"
"Oh, it will — change! Yes! Pig! "
Become a pig?!
Steele was so scared that she screamed. She never dreamed that although she had escaped the threat of death, she would face a horror that was no better than death.
For a woman who loved beauty, if she had to choose between "becoming an ugly pig" and "being hanged," maybe the latter was more likely to be chosen.
"Become … become … become a pig?!" She couldn't help but ask tremblingly, "Why … become … a pig?"
Sui Xiong didn't expect her to ask this. He scratched his head with his tentacles and said, "In a distant country, there was a story. A brave, strong, and handsome monk wanted to go to the distant West to obtain the legendary treasure that could save the world. Under his command, there was a monkey with a bad character, a pig that was always in heat, a water monster that was full of imagination, and a horse that was useless except for its good looks. "
"So … when you advised me to shave my head last time, you wanted me to play the role of that monk?" Steele was still a little confused, but Ray was the first to come back to his senses, and remembered something that happened not long ago.
That day, when they were camping, Steele once again angered Ray, and he angrily chanted the Band-tightening Spell. At that time, Sui Xiong didn't know what he was thinking, and he laughed. Afterward, he asked Ray if he wanted to shave his head and change clothes, and said that he could help make two powerful magic weapons, one called "Nine Rings Monk Staff" and the other called "Brocade Kasaya."
Of course, Ray really wanted a powerful magic weapon, but after seeing the pattern drawn by Sui Xiong, he regretfully rejected this suggestion.
That outfit, no matter how you looked at it, looked like a warrior monk.
Later, Sui Xiong didn't mention this again, which made him feel a little regretful. In fact, as long as he didn't shave his head, it was okay to change clothes. His black leather armor was also a little conspicuous, so it was not a bad idea to change it.
But now he finally understood that Sui Xiong clearly wanted him to play the role of that monk!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
His Majesty, the Void Mask, was indeed powerful, and his character was quite kind. Unfortunately, his thinking was too jumpy, and he often thought of some strange things, said some inexplicable things, and came up with some ideas that made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
Perhaps this was the so-called "Nothing in the world is perfect, and there will always be some regrets" …
After laughing for a while, Ray asked Sui Xiong, "You just said that the red ring represents' desire ', and the blue ring represents' virtue. 'Since' desire 'is a punishment, is' virtue 'a reward?"
"Yes!" Sui Xiong waved his tentacles hard, as if he was waving his arms. "All along, I only focused on restraining her, and ignored positive guidance. So this time I made a major improvement. From now on, she can accumulate 'virtue' by doing good deeds. People's gratitude will accumulate in the blue ring, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, the blue ring will ignite a flame. After all twelve flames are ignited, she can get a 'Perfect Wishing Spell'. "
"Perfect Wishing Spell?!" Ray thought for a long time, but did not think of such a spell. He asked curiously, "Is there a big difference between this spell and the ordinary wishing spell? The wishing spell is very unreliable, even if the word 'perfect' is added, it still feels very unreliable … "
This was not Ray's sarcasm, he was just telling the truth.
The series of wishing spells had always been unreliable.
It was said that the principle of this series of spells was "through understanding and modifying the world, one's wishes can be realized." At first glance, it seemed very high-end, but in fact, it was a bit of a trap — the world itself had a tendency to resist modification. When a person tried to use the wishing spell to achieve a goal, the most common situation was not that one's wishes would come true, but that one's wishes would be realized in a way that made people not know whether to laugh or cry, or even harmful.
For example, the relatively low-level "Inferior Wishing Spell" could, in theory, imitate any "middle-level" level spell. Even if there were no materials needed to cast the spell, or if one did not understand the spell, it would not be affected at all; it could remove almost all negative or positive effects of the spell, including breaking curses; it could achieve the effect of any "low-level adventure," whether it was directly obtaining rewards or directly obtaining results, there was no problem.
Well, in theory, it could.
But in practice, except for some wishes that had been proven to be reliable — such as imitating other spells — almost any wish would be distorted, and realized in a way that made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
Many years ago, Ray had accidentally obtained a scroll of the Inferior Wishing Spell. After careful consideration, he used it to make a wish, "I want to become the world's strongest warrior."
As a result … he received an invitation to the "World's Strongest Warrior Competition", and when he went to participate in the competition in high spirits, he found that the participants were all rookies at the level of junior adventurers at best. Only then did he realize that it was simply a competition for self-entertainment in a small place.
That's right, he did win the competition, and received a bronze medal that symbolized the "World's Strongest Warrior," but it was meaningless.
This was like a group of rookies who had just learned martial arts running to Mount Hua to discuss the sword. Even if they pretended to be the "World's Number One," who would take it seriously? It was just a joke.
That matter was a big blow to Ray, and there were several disputes that were caused because of it.
In addition to some things that happened later, he did not have a good impression of the Wishing Spell at all. He even suspected more than once that the great sage who originally invented this spell, was he drunk? Or was there something wrong with his brain?
This spell was not useful at all, it was purely a trap!
Although His Majesty the Void Mask's past experience was indeed not bad, and could be considered quite reliable; although that "Perfect Wishing Spell" seemed to be more advanced than the "Inferior Wishing Spell" or the "Wishing Spell" …
But … the Benediction Spell itself was unreliable!
