After Baiyi was done, he turned to the quarreling group of people in his consciousness and said, What are you guys talking about this time? You want me to kill her? Or absorb her power? Occupy her body? Lick her legs? Who the hell came up with such a perverted suggestion? Haven't any of you noticed that this woman is the channel that connects my consciousness and power?
That's right. The reason why Baiyi was so kind as to carry the little girl back to his bed was not because he was kind-hearted or because he thought that the little girl was cute or something. It was purely because he realized that his consciousness, which was in the armor, was connected to his own power through the little girl in front of him.
It was a very uncomfortable situation. The weak human girl was like the sluice gate of a dam, blocking Baiyi's enormous power in the Void. His power could only flow into his body bit by bit, and each time it flowed into his body, the amount of Mana that an Intermediate Level Sorcerer possessed. It was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water. He could not even cast the relatively simple Unique Shape Shaping spell.
"Your power was limited by the limit of her body. The reason why she fainted was because you tried to cast a spell that was far beyond the limits of her body. That was why she fainted. Fortunately, you did not kill her directly. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome." As a qualified powerhouse, the First Walker was able to make a correct judgment. "Well, it's a good thing you did not kill her directly.
"That's why we need to find a way to increase her power in an instant." The Voidwalker with the codename Devil said, "There's nothing more suitable than a Devil Contract. Help her summon a powerful devil from the depths of hell and exchange her soul for power. Based on that devil's unique fetish for the souls of human women, she should be able to gain a considerable amount of power in an instant."
"We can also try the Lich Transformation Ritual. Although her power is not enough to become a qualified Lich, I have many versions here. There's bound to be one that suits her …" The Lich said.
The idea sounded good but some people objected to it. A Walker with the codename Paladin said, "You can't do this! This is equivalent to killing her! He had killed an innocent weakling! I will not allow this to happen! "
"I'm against it as well. Our salvation shouldn't be based on the sacrifice of the weak," said a Walker with the codename Cleric.
"Foolish apologists! Are you going to give up this one and only chance to let Sir Hope live like an ant? Let us continue to stay in this void prison for another few thousand years? "
"This is different from harming the innocent! I believe Sir Hope will be able to find a better solution. "
The demon, the Lich, the Paladin, and the Cleric had always been at odds with each other. Even after becoming Voidwalkers, there were still many things that they could not agree on. So, the two sides quarreled over this issue, and it was getting more and more intense.
At that moment, Baiyi could not help but speak, and both sides quieted down, listening to his voice.
He first asked, "Who can guarantee that my consciousness will remain here after her soul is devoured by the demons or turned into a lich?"
Of course, no one could answer this question because this was a special summoning that even the Voidwalkers had never seen before. Who could tell what would happen next?
"Since no one can guarantee this, then we can't use any special methods. The risk is too high. We can't waste this precious opportunity. We can only let her power grow naturally. This may take some time but aren't we already used to waiting?" Baiyi continued, "Besides, this process won't take too long because I'll be by her side."
His words were spoken naturally but there was a sense of confidence in his words that even the other Voidwalkers could not refute. It was true. With Baiyi, the most special Voidwalker, by her side, she would never be short of ways to increase her power.
Lowering his head to look at his hand that was made of cowhide, he added, "Also, why do you guys think that I'm weak even though I'm only at the Intermediate Level?"
Just like that, the rebuttals were silenced.
The next day, Mia, who had no idea that she had just brushed shoulders with death, woke up from her coma. When she opened her big, beautiful eyes, she saw the shabby armor standing by the window, bathing in the morning sun. The armor was waving at her in a friendly manner.
Mia, who had just woken up from her coma last night, was still in a daze. She rubbed her eyes and vaguely remembered that she had been practicing her Soul Armature Summoning last night. She thought that the summoning would fail as usual, but then, something happened and she fainted for no apparent reason.
Judging from the current situation, the shabby armor was actually waving at her? Did that mean … that the summoning last night was a success? Mia could not believe what she was seeing. She shook her head vigorously, causing her two beautiful ponytails to dance in the air. Then, she heard the deep, husky voice of the suit of armor. Yet, it was filled with the charm of a mature, mature man.
"Hello, I'm Hope," Baiyi said as he slowly walked to her side and extended his right hand in a friendly manner.
It was obvious that Mia was still in a daze from her sudden success. She was still in a daze when she heard Baiyi's greeting.
Don't tell me that your brain is damaged from sleeping too much? Baiyi speculated maliciously. Then, he asked tentatively, "What's wrong? Did I scare you? "
Only then did Mia regain her senses. She quickly shook her head and said, "N-no, I'm just a little excited. I didn't expect that I would actually succeed. I really didn't expect it …"
After saying that, a mischievous smile appeared on her face. Sticking out her tongue cutely, she generously extended her fair and tender hand and gently held the coarse cowhide glove. She said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you. I'm Mia, a second-year student from the Celestial Fortress Academy. Nice to meet you, Mr. Hope."
Is that so? The long-awaited joy has suddenly arrived. Is she not ready to accept it yet? Baiyi understood Mia's state of mind. Last night, when Mia was asleep, he had carefully studied the magic formation. Naturally, he found the traces of repeated modifications on it.
"Although this little girl's innate talent is average, she's very hardworking. This puts me at ease," the Archmage of the First Walker said after he saw the traces.
At that moment, the two of them finally got to know each other. Mia also vaguely remembered what happened last night. With a hint of regret, she said, "I think I suddenly fell asleep last night. I didn't even have the chance to welcome your arrival, Mr. Hope …"
"It's alright. We'll have a lot of time to spend together in the future. I'll always be by your side as your partner and teacher," Baiyi said gently.
According to the textbooks, a Soul Armature was supposed to be the practitioner's teacher and partner. However, Baiyi purposely put the role of partner in front of the Soul Armature practitioner. His attitude was very humble and easy-going.
It gave Mia a sense of familiarity that made her secretly happy. She did not summon one of those legendary Soul Armatures who were difficult to get along with, but instead, it was the friendly and approachable Mr. Hope. That was great!
However, when she saw the militia's full body armor, Mia immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. She had summoned the easy-going Soul Armature but in the end, she could only provide him with such a simple body. This made the little girl feel a little guilty. Especially when Baiyi still maintained his easy-going and calm demeanor, as if he did not mind it at all, it made her feel even more guilty.
"Uh … Mr. Hope, I'm so sorry … I …" Mia said hesitantly. In the end, as if she had mustered up her courage and made up her mind, she clenched her little fist and said resolutely, "I'll find a way to earn money. I should be able to change your body very soon, Mr. Hope! I won't let you stay in this simple armor forever! "
Judging from the seriousness on her childish face, she definitely wasn't joking around.
It was not easy for a student to earn pocket money in the Celestial Fortress Academy, but it was not easy at the same time. Generally speaking, the best way to earn a living was to be an assistant to one of the teachers in the academy. However, that was a privilege that only belonged to the top students. It was impossible for an average student like Mia to get such a good opportunity.
As for the other way, like publishing an academic paper? That was not suitable for Mia either. Helping her teacher develop a new type of magic or alchemy product in exchange for a share of the profits? That was even more ridiculous. No matter how he thought about it, the only thing that was suitable for Mia was cleaning and carrying things around.
Baiyi knew all of that. It was the Walker codenamed Apprentice who told him about it in the Void. That was why when he heard Mia's words, he could not help but feel warmth in his heart. He could feel the sincerity and kindness in Mia. This little girl was even cuter than he had imagined.
Even the Archmage gave a very good evaluation of her, "She's a good girl. It was indeed the right choice for you to reject those people's proposal."
For that reason, when Baiyi heard Mia's words, he politely rejected her with a smile. As a Voidwalker, how could he allow a little girl who was not even 16 years old to do odd jobs to support himself?
"I can feel your heart, Mia. But you don't have to do this. I don't really care about things like appearance …"
"But …" Mia still wanted to argue but Baiyi raised his hand and interrupted her.
"The thing that should arm us is knowledge, not a pile of scrap metal," Baiyi said in the end.
