Chapter 55:

Located in the innermost hall of the Medusa Palace, except for the only high priest in the clan who is eligible to enter, only those guests with extremely noble status can have this same courtesy.
Every stone pillar and ground in the inner hall are made of the hardest forbidden magic stone. This special stone is not only hard in material structure, but also able to resist certain physical damage. The stone itself also contains a special kind of The forbidden magic material is simply a natural nemesis for magicians.
Inviting distinguished guests to the inner hall of the forbidden magic stone is not only a way of showing respect for the identity of the other party, but also implies a dual meaning of deterrence and warning.
When Morius entered the inner hall through the open stone door, he saw a figure covered in a dark robe standing quietly in the hall, and a black-haired and red-eyed demon dressed as a waiter standing in a black robe with his head down Side of the figure.
"Long time no see, Master Morius."
Under the black robe came an elegant and gentle voice like a polite scholar, as if greeting a friend whom I haven't seen for a long time. The black robe figure smiled and asked, "How are you doing now?"
Morius sneered coldly, the dark green malachite eyes filled with icy killing intent, "Don't you demons know this question the best?"
"Don't you come here just to see if I am dead and breathable? In order to support Xifan to replace me as high priest?"
The black-haired and green-eyed Medusa, who looked as beautiful as snake venom/medicine, raised a mocking smile on her lips, "Despite your demon race's various calculations, you even attacked me while I was fighting with the elders of the Lightwing tribe. But it's a pity that your conspiracy still fell through. As long as I'm still alive, our Medusa clan will never become the lackeys of your demons."
"Master Morius, you have misunderstood." The black robe figure sighed helplessly: "The demons who attacked you are not the same faction as me. They are just afraid that you and us will threaten them. The demon races of the main and faction that advocate coexistence with the human race have long been fascinated by humans, and even colluded with the Central Holy See, your mortal enemy. Like you, these demon race scum are our common enemy."
"Since the rise of the Central Holy See, many foreign races who stand against them have been driven by the knights of the Holy See to the barren and dark areas that are not visible, and your Medusas have been driven to death, and you can only hide in the cracks of this fissure space. , Don’t you want to lead your people back to the mainland and build your own territory?"
The black robe figure had a sincere tone, and said in a good manner: "I really sincerely invite you to join our camp. I hope Master Morius can again..."
Before the black robe figure finished speaking, he was swept away heavily by a black snake's tail, hitting the stone pillars in the inner hall, making a crisp sound of the skeleton falling and breaking, and the fallen skull rumblingly rolled into the corner.
"Even the deity was not willing to come over, so he sent a small soldier and a puppet."
Morius curled his black robe with a snaketail and fell down. The skull with his eyes gleaming with green light directly twisted it into bone fragments without mercy.
He threw these fragments to the ground at random, staring at the black-haired, red-eyed demon who was still indifferent while watching everything that happened before him, and sneered coldly: "Is this the sincerity of your demons?"
"Master Morius, please calm down your anger."
The demon with black hair and red eyes resembled a human aristocrat. He bowed and bowed to Morius. He slowly raised his head, revealing an extremely fair and handsome face, and explained with a smile: "The teacher can't Come personally, as his student, I will tell you..."
The high-level demons of the demons will not have obvious characteristics such as bat wings and demon tails. Only some low-level cannon fodder demons with strong reproduction ability and low intelligence will have these things. In Morius’ eyes, The black-haired and red-eyed demon in front of him did not have the qualifications to talk to him on an equal footing, and he did not have the patience to listen to the explanation of a small demon soldier.
Just when he wanted to smash the red-eyed demon like a puppet skeleton, his snake tail suddenly ran into the touch of a weapon similar to cold metal.
"Oh, it seems that Master Morius seems impatient."
The black-haired, red-eyed, handsome demon unfolded the black and red wings that had been folded behind his back. The two broad bat wings with sharp horns were completely open and were seven or eight meters long. He did not know when he held one in his hand. The black giant sickle with a handle higher than his body, his giant sickle blocked the snake tail that Morius swept past, and his expression looked very relaxed and easy to do.
Morius was stunned for a moment, then bloodthirsty and cold interest appeared in his eyes.
"Unexpectedly, a small soldier of the Demon Race actually has this kind of strength. If you can survive later, I don't mind taking a moment to listen to your explanation."
The corners of the devil's lips raised slightly, without fear.
"It's an honor to be here."
...
Your heartbeat speeds up suddenly.
As if feeling a little, you subconsciously look in one direction.
Was it your illusion just now?
Vaguely, you seem to feel a very faint familiar magic fluctuation, but after thinking about it carefully, you can't recall who this magic fluctuation belongs to.
After being taken away from the nest where the prey was held by the emerald snake-tailed Medusa boy, you are taken by him to a closed greenhouse garden that he inadvertently broke into to avoid Merius.
At first you thought that the Medusas were living in a cold underground lair, but after seeing altars and palaces, as well as human castles and gardens, you suddenly didn’t know where Medusa’s lair was. Where is it.
As far as you know, even a space mage with a deep magical power can't change the space freely, so the loss of magical power is too great, and it is impossible to maintain it for a long time.
But in this place full of Medusa, you who are not good at hiding your breath and exploring magic, don't dare to move around at all, otherwise, once you hit the hungry Medusa, you will probably be directly reduced to his food.
When it comes to food, you can't stand it.
Because you are afraid that the food that Medusa will send you will be the meat cut from your family, you have never dared to touch the meat they sent. You only rely on a little wild fruit and water to maintain a basic diet. You are no small Cats and dogs, how can you be full with this stuff? The first few days are okay. As you stay here longer, and the air here is filled with a faint rancid scent, your physique and energy It became weaker and weaker.
It's not that you are too hypocritical and fragile. Even if a healthy human being stays in this environment for a long time, there will be physical and mental problems.
At first you thought that the young Medusa with a green snake-tail would force you to heal him for the first time, but to your surprise, after bringing you to this greenhouse garden, he left you a sentence waiting here Don't run around and leave.
Although the scenery in this garden is very charming, you who are somewhat allergic to pollen, plus the memory of hiding in this garden and being caught by Murius, leave you with a heavy shadow.
You sit on a stone chair in a pavilion far from the flowers, staring blankly at the roses in the garden and the rose vines crawling across the fence. You feel like a ball of knotted wool in your mind. hope.
A small vegetable basket with a faint smell of food was suddenly placed in front of you.
You were stunned, and raised your head to look at Xifan who appeared next to you for some time.
He frowned, and said in disgust: "You can always eat these things, right?"
You look at the basket he brought and find that it contains a few breads and two pieces of wheat flour made of wheat cakes.
Although these foods are completely cold, but your nose still smells a light scent of bread and wheat.
Obviously it’s just a simple daily food, but the long-lost excitement suddenly emerges in your heart. Regardless of the bread and oatmeal being cold, you pick up a piece of oatmeal and put it in your mouth and bite it. The familiar aroma of wheat is in The mouth and taste buds are filled, and for some reason, your eye sockets suddenly become slightly warm and moist.
Fearing that the other party would see you in a panic, you hurriedly lowered your head and ate the cold cereal while crying silently.
"The humans that you let me let go before, without my permission, other people would not eat them." It seems that even he didn't understand why he wanted to explain to you. After the words fell, the green snake-tailed Medusa boy again Some angrily added, "Don't forget that you promised to help me heal my arm. This is a deal between us."
Although you understand that the young Medusa in front of you is a terrible monster that has brutally slaughtered/killed your family, there is still a faint feeling of gratitude in your heart, because he can kill your companions regardless of your wishes. Forcing you to treat him, he even carefully discovered the cause of your gradual weakness and found human food for you.
It’s just that your gratitude to him is limited to this. You will never forget how many of your compatriots have been killed by this celebrity young Medusa, who ate their flesh and blood for food. He is so patient with you now, it’s just Because he treats you as a female who can mate/reproduce and heal his arms, if you are just an ordinary human girl caught by him, your end will not be better than other prey.
After eating a wheat cake, your empty stomach feels a lot more comfortable, and your languid spirit is better. You raise your hand to wipe the wet marks from the corners of your eyes, smile at him and say, "Thank you."
It seems that because the first time I saw you smiling at him, Xifan couldn't help but froze. He didn't resist even when you took the initiative to sit down with his wrist.
"Master Xifan, when you are treated later, it may be very painful. If you feel unbearable, you can tell me."
After treating the other person as a patient that needs your treatment, your attitude changes significantly, even if the other person is a monster with a snake-tailed body.
Medusa's self-healing ability is also relatively strong, but it is not strong enough to regenerate the broken arm, especially the broken arm of Medusa juvenile was bitten off by some poison, and the cut surface of the wound can be clear. Seeing a slight green as if poisoned, like pieces of meat and broken bones.
If you have not yet become a pastor, you will definitely turn pale when you see this terrible injury, but you who have been with your sister’s mercenary group for decades of experience, the dead you have seen and the seriously injured on the verge of death, There are so many wounds that are more serious than this. Do you remember the most serious one. A famous soldier of your mercenary group was unfortunately bitten off by a monster. The upper and lower body were separated, and the intestines and internal organs were exposed. If not that The fighter was strong and did not die on the spot, no matter how proficient your healing technique is, it will not work.
Of course, the dying soldier was stuffed back with his intestines and his body was taken back to heal him. You almost vomited the stomach acid after holding back.
Ordinary abrasions or cuts from sharp objects are okay. Healing can basically solve most of the wounds, but severe injuries like this kind of severed hand and broken body can only be treated with advanced resurrection, which not only consumes mana, but also requires spirituality. Highly concentrated, if a spell is read incorrectly or the magic power is operated incorrectly, you can't help being backlashed by magic, but the person being treated may also grow strange sarcomas or body ulcers.
Fortunately, although you can’t be called a magic genius, but you know your shortcomings, you have memorized magic spells upside down, and you are often proficient in how to use magic in your life, although your magic may be among other high-level priests. Not too deep, but when it comes to familiarity with magic spells and the use of magic, you are quite confident.
"It's almost done, please bear with me."
Because you need to concentrate on manipulating magic power, thin sweat is leaking out from your forehead and temples. When Xifan’s injury is finally cured, you feel like your body was salvaged from the water, and you are all wet. Through.
The process of re-growth of bones and muscles is very painful. Many people will be directly fainted with pain. But during your treatment, the young Medusa with emerald tail did not even utter a muffled grunt, and his expression was very calm and flat. As if this hand is not his at all.
Xifan raised the re-grown right hand and directly raised it in front of him to take a look, his palm stretched flexibly, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
"You did a good job." As if to reward a small animal, he reached out and touched your head, and asked in a good mood: "What is your name?"
You blinked blankly, some do not understand why he asked your name.
If you simply treat you as a pet or breeder, Medusa Boy would not want to know you, maybe he didn't even realize it, he has not only regarded you as a person who can mate/breed Breeders, but there are people who want to understand your ideas.
If a male only has the urge to reproduce to a female, then he just has a simple physical mating/mating instinct for you, but when he wants to understand you as a person, he cares about your every move At that time, it means that the other party has moved sincerely to you, and is no longer satisfied with the physical possession on the surface, but hopes to get a spiritual communication with you.
You also find that the young Medusa with a green snake-tail is looking at you with an unusually focused and serious eye. Although his eye pupils are still the vertical pupils of cold-blooded creeping creatures, they can't help expressing a softness that is almost compassionate.
"My name is May." You pursed your lips, subconsciously staggering his eyes, "This is... my name."
"May...I..."
It seemed to be awkward to pronounce the name, the young Medusa with emerald snake-tail chanted it several times before accurately calling it out.
Although Medusa and the mermaid have extremely beautiful appearances, the voices of the two are very different. If the voice of the mermaid is the voice of nature, then Medusa's voice is the devil hiss from the abyss of hell.
No matter how gentle the tone was, it was like a dangerous and beautiful poisonous snake swallowing a scarlet snake letter in his ears, making people shudder.
When you and Xifan fell into a rather strange atmosphere, a strong wave of magical power came from above you, and even the greenhouse garden where you were trembling a few times.
Xifan also instantly converged his relaxed posture in front of you, and the vertical pupils suddenly stretched into a straight line, as if he sensed a strong danger, his whole body suddenly tightened as if he was facing an enemy.
In the next instant, without any warning, his figure suddenly disappeared in front of you.
You blinked in amazement, completely unrecognized what happened.
"Puff puff~"
"Puff~"
A strange and familiar voice came from the corner.
Looking along the source of the sound, you can see two little mushroom men whose chubby bodies were blocked by dense flower branches, stuck in the flower bed and unable to move, pitifully calling for you for help.
Although the timing is not right, you are still amused by their cute and lovely actions.
You stand up, pursing your lips and smiling while walking towards them.
"Why are you here?"
Do you remember that the two little mushroom men were released long ago. It stands to reason that they should now live freely and happily in the forest.
After approaching the flower bed, you bend down and stretch out your hand, wanting to rescue the two little mushroom men.
But your stretched out hand was grabbed by a slender arm with a black jade complexion.
With a little effort on that hand, your body went over the flowers uncontrollably, and fell into a embrace that exuded a faint cold breath.
