Chapter 360

"— —"

Silence permeated the air.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Feicui's body. Looking at the girl who has been silent all this time, their eyes revealed different emotions.

Elise was in awe.

La Xia was stunned.

Sean, on the other hand, had mixed feelings.

Because he already knew that Jadeite's identity was definitely not ordinary.

In the ancient book that Triss gave to Shien, there was such a record.

"Ever since the kingdom was established, the Stringham Dukedom would often encounter an unimaginable incident."

"Many people claimed that they had met a little girl with blonde hair and purple eyes, and some stories had happened between them."

"Some people adopted her and took good care of her, but one day, they found out that she had suddenly disappeared."

"Some people had malicious intentions towards her and wanted to use her to do something, but after a period of time, her body was found. Before her death, she seemed to have suffered from extreme shock, and even showed signs of mental disorder. Her death was extremely horrifying."

"Even the nobles had met such a little girl, but in the end, they either couldn't find her one day, or suddenly died at home. It was very strange."

"Gradually, this incident began to cause panic among the people in the territory. Some people even claimed that the Demons had intended to harm the territory, which led to this incident. In a short period of time, everyone was in a state of panic."

"In the end, in order to prevent chaos, the lord of the territory, the Stringham Family, issued a ban, forbidding all people from talking about this incident, or else they would be punished."

"Under such circumstances, the territory gradually regained its peace, but from time to time, there would be rumors about this, as if there were still people who encountered such an incident."

"So, people began to say that the little girl with blonde hair and purple eyes was a vengeful spirit left behind in the Stringham Dukedom. Because she had not found happiness when she was alive, she would wander around the Stringham Dukedom. When she met a kind-hearted person who was willing to take her in and treat her well, she would leave on her own, and when she met someone with evil intentions who wanted to harm her, she would curse them to death."

This was an extremely famous thousand-year-old legend in the Stringham Dukedom — [The Vengeful Spirit in Search of Happiness].

It was said that even until now, there would still be people claiming to have seen this vengeful spirit. Every now and then, there would be nobles or criminals who died of unknown causes in the Stringham Dukedom, leaving a deep impression on the people. Even with the ban, there were still people who would secretly spread this legend.

That was why Triss had such a huge reaction when he saw Jade.

This was enough to prove the extent of this legend's fame. It was enough to make people think of it immediately.

On the contrary, the people outside the Stringham Dukedom had never heard of this legend.

Krist thought that Sean had been targeted by the legendary vengeful spirit, which was why he could not help but advise him to stay away from the jade.

Unfortunately, not only did Sean not care about this matter, but he also took the initiative to bring the jade.

The reason was simple.

"If it was really a vengeful spirit, why would a group of magical beings kidnap her, and even commit suicide to keep her with me?"

Shien felt that there was something fishy going on. Moreover, strange things were happening in the Stringham Dukedom, and the Old Demons were also stirring up trouble in this territory. Shien felt that there might be something behind this incident with Jade.

It might be troublesome, but it could also be a good thing.

"If the people of the Old Demons will be dragged out and appear in front of me, that would be the best."

With this thought in mind, not only did Shien not reject Jade, he even took the initiative to bring her along.

Of course, other than this plan, the main reason was that Shien did not know what to do with Jade.

"I can't just leave it by the side of the road, can I?"

So, Sean gave the choice to Feicui to choose whether or not to come with him.

Jade made her choice.

So, Shien brought her along.

However, it was not until this moment that Shien realized that Jade actually had such a huge background.

That was what Elise told Shien.

"Although she has been staying in the Darkness Shrine and has been sealed together with the evil goddess Lilith, Miss Jade's freedom has not been greatly restricted."

Although Jade was half of Lilith's body, she did not have any power or any harm because she was just a part of her rationality that had been stripped away. Hence, the Protoss did not want to do anything to her.

Not only did they not want to do anything to her, but the Protoss also hoped that Jade could return to her original body so that Lilith could get rid of her uncontrollable state and regain her rationality. She could then return to the Protoss and improve the strength of the Protoss. Therefore, the Protoss treated Jade rather gently and never imprisoned her. They even gave Jade the right to enter and leave the shrine freely.

In view of this, regardless of whether she had been exiled to a crack in the world or sealed in an independent small space, Jade could freely return to this world and move about in this world.

The purpose of Jade's activities outside was very simple, which was to travel the world and observe the lifestyles of others in order to strengthen her rationality and spirit.

"Only in this way can Miss Jade have enough rationality to suppress her instinct to pursue chaos when she returns to her original body, and successfully become one to become a true goddess."

That was why Jadeite became the [Resentful Spirit Seeking Happiness].

It was precisely because Jade wandered the world, observed the various states of life, and strengthened her rationality that she was sometimes adopted and sometimes targeted by others. In the end, she disappeared because she continued to travel.

As for those who had evil intentions, they would eventually die a horrible and violent death. It was probably because although Jade did not have any power, as the half of the evil goddess Lilith who controlled evil and chaos, the authority of the evil goddess Lilith would still play a role in protecting her when she encountered danger, right?

After all, it was the authority of the goddess who controlled evil and chaos. It was too easy for her to make a person insane and die suddenly.

"Unfortunately, Miss Jade's rationality has never been able to grow to the point where she can suppress her chaotic instincts."

This was also a matter of course.

Even if she was the half of a rational being, Jade's origin was still evil and chaos. How could she allow her rationality to grow?

Jade wanted to suppress her chaotic instincts by letting her rationality grow, but the chaotic instincts would also suppress the growth of rationality, leading to the emergence of contradictions.

As a result, even after countless years, Jade still could not suppress her chaotic instincts.

"This girl..."

After learning about this, Shien looked at Jade with some displeasure in his eyes.

There was no other way.

After learning about this, Shien also understood two things.

One was why Jade couldn't speak.

Because although she had a certain degree of rationality, this part of rationality was not complete, causing her to be a little like a newborn baby. She could not speak, but she had some very mature thinking and judgment, which seemed to be the same as her current situation, which was contradictory and a little abnormal.

The other thing was the reason why Jade asked him to break the seal of the evil god Lilith.

"It must be because her countless years of hard work have not been rewarded, so she wants to use this sudden incident to let me enter the shrine that appeared, forcefully break the seal, and then try to return to my body, right?"

Shien finally saw through Jade's thoughts, so he became unhappy.

It was easy to imagine how dangerous this matter would be.

Perhaps this time, as the evil god Lilith's rationality, Jade would not be stripped away, but completely obliterated.

She was also very clear about this, so when Shien proposed to postpone the action last night and not break the seal first, she finally chose to agree, right?

What did this mean?

It meant that Jade had no chance of success at all, so she felt hesitant and afraid.

After understanding this, Shien glared at Jade.

Jade seemed to know that she was in the wrong, and did not dare to look Shien in the eye at all. She lowered her head and remained silent.

On the other hand, after Elise explained everything clearly, she exhaled and took another sip of black tea to moisten her throat before speaking.

"The mastermind behind this incident not only destroyed the spatial node, but also released the shrine that sealed the evil god Lilith, and even kidnapped Miss Jade. To be honest, we have no idea what he or she is planning to do."

Not to mention Elise, even Shien did not know what the mastermind was planning to do.

Let's not talk about other things for now. What was the purpose of packing up the jade and throwing it here?

Sean could not understand the principle of the other party's actions. He frowned tightly.

However, the reason for Elise's actions was very obvious.

"… I don't know why you want to invade the Darkness Shrine and break the seal of the evil god Lilith without knowing everything, but I would like to ask you not to do such a thing again in the future."

Elise looked at Shien and mustered up her courage to speak.

"If the seal of the evil god Lilith is broken, the world will definitely suffer a great disaster and turn into hell because of her arrival."

If an existence whose power was comparable to that of the three goddesses and the six demons wantonly destroyed the human world, the consequences would be obvious.

"Before the world was divided into three parts, the land had been plagued by the Evil God Lilith's rampage," Leylin said with a smile.

Elise said.

"I've heard that at that time, there were many other races in the human race, some of which were not inferior to the elves and orcs. However, they were all exterminated by the evil god Lilith."

"It is said that Lilith also destroyed several continents and spread evil energy, causing the monsters and even life all over the world to fall into a state of uncontrollable madness."

"At that time, the world undoubtedly became hell, and even the Demons chose to avoid it."

Such an evil god was undoubtedly more dangerous than the Demon King.

At the very least, the Demon King would not be like this, falling into madness and wantonly ravaging everything in the world without any scruples.

However, the evil god Lilith did that.

For this reason, the Protoss had no choice but to take action, and the three goddesses personally sealed her and exiled her to a gap in the world.

All of this was because the threat of the evil god Lilith was too great.

"Now, after at least thousands of years, few people in the world remember the existence of the evil god Lilith. Even the legends only mentioned a few words. The Demons and the Protoss have also forgotten this evil god. Only a few people remember her."

"And those who remember her know how terrifying the evil god Lilith is, and from the bottom of their hearts, they hope that she will not appear again."

"You are a noble of the kingdom, and I heard that you once fought against the Old Demons. You definitely don't want to see the world turn into hell, right?"

"So, I beg you, don't do that kind of thing again."

Elise's tone was full of pleading.

"…"

Shien fell into silence.

La Xia looked at Emerald and found that Emerald had raised her head again and was staring at Shien.

The whole living room fell into silence once again.

There was no change for a long time.

…

After that, Elise carefully proposed to return to the temple, but was rejected by Shien.

"Although I already know what I want to know, your priest group must hate me to death now. If I just let you go, they will definitely get to the bottom of it and ask about me, and then settle the score with me."

Therefore, Shien directly told Elise that he would use her as a hostage to threaten the Orc priest group.

"You … You really are a bad person …!"

Elise complained tearfully, but it was of no use at all.

Shien was not worried that she would run away.

"Your mana has been sealed by me, which means that you can't use magic at all. Under such circumstances, as an extremely precious and rare vulpera, what do you think will happen to you once you run out onto the streets? Given the current situation in Kosmos where criminals are trying to fish in troubled waters, what do you think will happen to you? Think about it! "

Shien threatened Elise, causing her to turn pale and tremble again.

Compared to other Orcs, the Foxmen were fundamentally different.

Most Orcs were born with outstanding physical abilities and were suitable to be excellent warriors. Only foxmen did not have an obvious advantage in physical abilities, but they had magical talent that other Orcs seriously lacked.

Their magical talent was even comparable to that of the elves.

Because of this, the position of the Orc Saintess was usually held by foxmen.

Such foxmen could only use magic and did not know how to fight in close combat. Once their magic power was locked, they could not even pray and could only be a weak ordinary girl.

In this way, without the priest group around her, with Elise's timid personality, how would she dare to escape on her own?

"You will be punished by the heavens! You will be punished by the gods! "

After Elise uttered such harsh words, she went to find Hu Xia. No one knew whether she went to seek comfort or protection.

Emerald also disappeared unknowingly, and no one knew where she went.

Only Shien was left. He went to the balcony and looked at the messy buildings outside, deep in thought.
