The Cleric Walker Walker had been banned from speaking for a day as punishment for ruining the captive's life. Baiyi had even reminded the other two interrogators to be careful not to break the captive's life. Baiyi calmed himself down and allowed the Archmage to draw more cards while he pondered over the Book of Servitude that he had just obtained.
Baiyi pondered for a moment before asking the Archmage, "This thing … Could it be that it's similar to the skin-tight leather suit? Does it have the power to change the Laws?"
The Archmage replied, "Wahahaha! Finally, an SSR! I only used 2000 Saint Quartz this time. Looks like I'm in luck today! "
"Can't you be a little more serious?" Baiyi said, feeling speechless.
"The item is already yours. Not to mention, you're the one with the most understanding of the rules among us. Why are you still asking me about this? Just let me know when you've figured it out. Quick, give me some more Saint Crystal Stones. " The Archmage said casually, as if he was less interested in the Divine Relic than he was in the game.
However, the Archmage's excuse seemed to make sense.
Based on Baiyi's understanding, the Book of Servitude was similar to the leather jacket. Both were capable of altering the Laws of the world. Although the effects of these alterations were significant and powerful, compared to the Laws that governed the very foundation of all living things, the Book of Servitude's effects were insignificant.
But then again, this divine artifact didn't seem to be very useful. At the moment, Baiyi was not lacking in combat power. Forbidden spells that required a lot of energy to chant and required a lot of energy were not as simple and direct as Void Energy. Baiyi could only rely on some special forbidden spells, such as the Spatial Forbidden Spell Group Teleportation. Now that he had the Book of Servitude, he no longer needed to set up a formation beforehand. This way, it would be much more convenient for him to travel between Isythre and the future realm of his academy.
"Now that you have this book, I have some ideas that I can try out," the Lich Walker said. The Lich said from the side, "Back then, I was troubled by the fact that I couldn't collect enough strong souls, so I did some research on soul fusion. I tried to fuse those weak souls together, and I had some results. However, I realized that the process was too complicated, so I gave up. Now that I have this book, I can start my research again. "
"If the research is successful, we will be able to obtain many souls like the one we used this time?" Baiyi asked hurriedly. If this idea worked, it would mean that the Voidwalkers would have more vessels to descend into. They would no longer have to split their souls into several parts, and they would be able to recover their original combat power.
However, this also meant that Baiyi's burden was even greater. With the amount of souls he currently had in the real world, there was not enough to go around.
"If I'd known this would happen, I would've smuggled more of my consciousness into this world. It's such a shame that I didn't think about it, and now I've missed the opportunity!" Baiyi lamented.
"Tsk tsk, if Sir Hope's soul is not strong enough, why don't you try my secret techniques?" The Incubus Walker suddenly suggested, "You also know the characteristics of our race. Although we are weak, we can completely assimilate a human's soul. This way, you don't have to worry about not having enough consciousness, right?"
"That makes sense, but this kind of thing …" Baiyi understood what the King of Nightmares was trying to say. The King of Nightmares' suggestion was indeed very reasonable, but this kind of thing had slightly crossed the line of Baiyi's morals, so he could not agree to it now.
"Hey? Still not willing to put down that hypocritical mask of yours? I hope you don't forget that you're an Agent of the Void, not some Savior or Virgin Mary, "the King of Nightmares reminded. The King of Nightmares reminded, "Or do you think that His Lich's research doesn't require the sacrifice of human lives? Even with my understanding of souls, I know that using ordinary souls to forcefully fuse them into a powerful soul would require a lot of ordinary souls. "
"Alright, I got it. When the time is right, I'll make my decision," Baiyi said perfunctorily. "There's always a solution, isn't there? If worst comes to worst, I'll just follow the Cleric Walker and kill my way into the Endless Abyss. After all, the souls imprisoned there are constantly being tortured by the demons, and I can free them in another way. "
"What a boring hypocrite," The Lich concluded.
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Now that the Archmage is back, would you like to try descending, Lich?" Baiyi changed the topic.
"Why would I come here? To play house with your little pets? "The Lich retorted, as if he had already given up on descending. Well, that's fine. It saved Baiyi a lot of trouble.
"Eh? If you're not going, why don't I go instead? "Lady Assassin Walker asked, seizing the opportunity to poke him with her consciousness.
"As you wish," the Lich replied casually. The Lich Walker did not say anything else after that. He summoned the Soul Armature Practitioners back to him and continued with his research.
"Heehee! Thanks!" Lady Assassin Walker exclaimed happily. She poked Baiyi again and urged him, "You idiot! Hurry up! I've never descended into a world before, not even a hammerhead shark plushie!"
Baiyi wanted to laugh, but he did not reject her request. Once again, he activated the Pseudo-Descent technique, and Lady Assassin Walker entered the militia armor.
The militia armor began to move again, and this time, it was cheerful and lively. She circled around Baiyi twice and giggled like a fool. Then, she pushed open the door and began to wander around the mansion. It was already dark, and everyone was asleep, so Baiyi did not bother her anymore. She was a grown-up now, so she should know her place, right?
Lady Assassin Walker hummed an unknown tune as she skipped her way to Aya's room. After a while, Baiyi, who was sitting in the basement, heard a scream coming from Aya's room.
He hurried out and saw Lady Assassin Walker bouncing happily back to him. "Where have you been?" he asked. "Where have you been?"
"Teaching that little female dragon a lesson, of course! That's what she gets for taking advantage of you! "Lady Assassin Walker retorted.
"Did you kill her?" Baiyi asked.
"What? I told you I don't like killing people. I was just pretending to be a ghost to scare her. I just didn't expect a dragon to be afraid of something like that … "Lady Assassin Walker replied nonchalantly.
I really didn't expect you to be this bored, did you?
"Hey, silly! Why don't you walk around with me?" Lady Assassin Walker said coquettishly. She moved closer to Baiyi and hugged his arm, looking like a little bird that was clinging to its master.
Unfortunately, her current appearance was that of a shabby militia armor, so her girly behavior did not seem suggestive at all. It only made Baiyi feel curious.
"It's the middle of the night. Where are you going?" Baiyi asked helplessly.
"I'm just going to walk around. I'm an assassin, after all. I was born to live in the shadows and darkness," Lady Assassin Walker replied casually.
Baiyi could not think of an excuse to reject her, so he let her hold his arm. The two of them looked like a couple on a date as they leisurely strolled through the midnight streets.
Lady Assassin Walker did not say a word along the way. Instead, she kept humming an unknown tune. She looked very satisfied and happy.
Just like that, the two of them spent the entire night touring half of Arfin City. They did not interact much with each other, but there was no need for them to do so. After all, they had exchanged memories, so there was no need for words to communicate with each other.
It was not until the first rays of dawn shone on the earth that Lady Assassin Walker finally looked tired. She found a bench by the roadside and sat down. She tilted her head and looked at Baiyi, who was sitting beside her. "Do you think I'm boring? This is a rare date, and all you can think of is going shopping in the middle of the night? That's crazy. Women like me are not cute at all, right? "
Baiyi shook his head. "At least you have character, and you're cute, too."
"Heehee. It's rare to hear you say something nice." Lady Assassin Walker stood up and stretched like a human. "Alright, it's daybreak. It's time for me, Cinderella, to go home."
"Doesn't Cinderella go home at midnight?" Baiyi asked.
Lady Assassin Walker was about to get angry, but she quickly gave up. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Talking to an idiot like you only makes me angry. Alright, alright. Let me go back to the Void."
"You don't want to stay for a few more days?" Baiyi asked.
"What's there to stay for? With a body like this, I can't do anything, and I'm ugly. Besides, if I don't go back soon, won't you worry about your little dragon-lady? "Lady Assassin Walker said unhappily.
Baiyi nodded. Just as he was about to touch the secret technique, Lady Assassin Walker suddenly said, "Wait, there's something I forgot to tell you …"
"You haven't done the last step of the date, right? But I'm just a suit of armor right now, so I'll let you off the hook this time. The next time you descend in a human body, remember to complete the last step! "
"Huh? The last step? "Baiyi asked, confused.
"Hmph! Idiot! "
Just like that, Lady Assassin Walker stayed in the real world for a short night before she returned to the Void with a full stomach.
Baiyi, on the other hand, returned home with his militia armor. His students had not yet woken up, so he had no choice but to stand outside the yard, watering the plants that had gained sentience. These ferocious-looking plants, which usually bit anyone they saw, were now obediently gathered at his feet and allowed him to water them. It was as if they had returned to the old days.
