Cthulhu Gonfalon

Sui Xiong temporarily solved the problem of Cambrona and Jane, and then he turned to Tu Ya’an. Sui Xiong said, “Necromancer, what do you want to do? I don’t understand.”

In the face of the famous Void Mask, Tu Ya’an didn’t dare to conceal his thoughts. He explained his plan in detail to Sui Xiong.

“I see,” Sui Xiong said. Sui Xiong carefully thought about it. If Tu Ya’an’s plan was successful, it wouldn’t cause any harm to Jane. Therefore, Sui Xiong didn’t care about what he had done although he had taken advantage of Jane’s bad situation. “Now your plan has failed. What are you going to do in the future?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Make money first,” Tu Ya’an said after pausing for a moment. “Thanks to you, I have calmed down. The plan to seize divinity has ended, and frustration can’t solve the problem. I should come down to earth and go back to my own life. I had already thought of that, but I was just defeated by complete failure. I was in chaos. The future is still very long. I can still step into the demigod realm by relying on my own strength.”

Sui Xiong said, nodding, “It is good that you can think in that way. Relying on the divinity of a god as the seed, you can certainly step into the demigod realm. However, it will also limit your path. It seems that you are not a person who can go on the road of Shadow or the road of Assassination. So this failure is also a good thing for you.”

Tu Ya’an showed a bitter smile. Was it really a good thing? The meaning of the Void Mask was obviously about becoming a god. However, he was only in the Legendary Realm. He was not a demigod, so it was still too far away to become a god.

Moreover, what he was pursuing was only immortality. It was enough for him to just become a demigod. A true god was certainly better than a demigod. However, he was just like a baby. He still couldn’t walk, why did he need to bother running and jumping? Therefore, he really couldn’t nod to show his approval. He could only show a bitter smile.

Sui Xiong was not angry about that. Instead, Sui Xiong thought that this person was pragmatic. He didn’t want to reach for what was beyond his grasp. After thinking for a while, Sui Xiong said, “If you are interested, you may come to Void City.”

Tu Ya’an was stunned. He asked, “Your Majesty, if you have any instruction, you can tell me now. I will try my best to do it.”

Sui Xiong said, smiling, “You think too much. I just think that you are very interesting and that you are a diamond in the rough. You should know that my place is not like the Mifata Federation. We are short on spellcasters, especially talented mages. If you are willing to join my church, you can gain good pay.”

Tu Ya’an couldn’t help but smile bitterly again. Do I deserve such good pay? How can I make the Void Mask, the famous and powerful god among the gods, come to invite me personally?

“I am deeply moved by your kindness, but I am a believer of my great tutor. I am not going to change my faith,” Tu Ya’an said. He hesitated for a moment, and then he refused.

The routine that “I’m deeply moved and then I’ll reject your confession” made Sui Xiong feel bad. However, Sui Xiong knew that he couldn’t force others to change their faith. If others didn’t agree with his idea, then it would be useless to force them.

However, it also made Sui Xiong think more highly of Tu Ya’an. Tu Ya’an was a person who could refuse the invitation of such a powerful god. Anyway, at least in terms of loyalty and braveness, Tu Ya’an deserved praise.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Sui Xiong said, “So, let’s not talk about faith, let’s talk about work. Are you interested in working in Void City? To be honest, I really need a high-end spellcaster like you.”

Sui Xiong paused for a moment. Before Tu Ya’an answered, Sui Xiong said again, “Don’t hurry to refuse me. Hear the reward first, okay?”

Tu Ya’an, who had intended to refuse, closed his mouth and looked at Sui Xiong with some doubts.

He saw that Sui Xiong was looking at his sister, smiling.

A sudden inspiration flashed in his heart like a lightning bolt, bursting like thunder in his heart. His heart was shaken, and his mouth was dry. He was so nervous that he was almost speechless.

He almost guessed the “reward” that the Void Mask was going to give him.

“The situation of your sister is a bit bad,” Sui Xiong said. “Her body is actually dead. You use spells to inject vitality into her body forcibly and force her soul to be fixed in her body. Only relying on that can she maintain the appearance of a living person. But in fact, she consumes a lot of vitality. More importantly, this body also has many inconveniences. If my guess is right, something is wrong with her sense of taste, smell, and touch. These problems don’t appear from the beginning. Her senses are slowly lost in a period of time. If this continues, she will lose her sense of hearing and vision in the future.”

Tu Ya’an naturally knew that. The lifespan of a half-dead person was longer than that of an ordinary person, but the length was also limited. The reason why his sister could live to this day was that he had spent countless magic power and materials. However, even so, her soul was still going bad. The integrating degree of the soul and the flesh was gradually decreasing. When it declined to a certain extent, her soul could no longer give the flesh ample vitality. Therefore, her perception would decrease significantly, and her senses would gradually disappear.

When she lost both her sense of hearing and vision, he could only manage to transfer his sister’s soul to a monster statue, so that his sister could survive in the state of a monster statue.

However, her soul would continue to go bad. Sooner or later, it would deteriorate to the point where she couldn’t be saved at all.

On that day, Tu Ya’an would be helpless. He could only die with his sister.

However, could it be that the Void Mask had a solution?

Well, he must have a solution! He is a great god who is the best one of the great Divine Powers, Tu Ya’an thought.

“I’m not talented, but I’m good at treating such illness,” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “I can give you a few therapeutic plans for you to choose from. The price is...”

“You don’t need to say it!” Tu Ya’an said categorically. He interrupted Sui Xiong’s words. “As long as you can cure Tessa, I’ll give you my life. Whether I am alive or dead, I’ll do whatever you ask me to do. Any time! For any reason!”

Sui Xiong was stunned. After a few seconds, Sui Xiong said, “I... I don’t mean to use this to force you.”

“I know. As time goes by, your church will be stronger and stronger. You have a lot of talents, so I’m dispensable. However, to me, Tessa is everything. In order to save her, I am willing to pay my everything!” Tu Ya’an said seriously. “I will work for the one who can save her. This is the commitment I made a long time ago. Now, I will fulfill it.”

After a silence, Sui Xiong asked, “The God of Spellcaster couldn’t save your sister?”

“His Majesty said that he could transform her into an Oracle,” Tu Ya’an said. “Although it will be good to be an Oracle, will she be Tessa anymore?”

After thinking for a while, Sui Xiong couldn’t give him an accurate answer.

Oracles were essentially tools created by gods. Even if they were created on the basis of the souls of mortals, they were still tools that would be loyal to gods unconditionally. There was no essential difference.

Sui Xiong was not sure if that could be counted as saving Tessa, but it was obviously not the result that Tu Ya’an wanted.

Le-Peyroux was the God of Spellcaster. He almost reached the peak in the field of spells. However, it could be seen that there was still a gap between his ability and Sui Xiong’s ability.

Thinking of that, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but feel a little proud.

Therefore, he gave Tu Ya’an and his sister three plans, and they could choose on their own.

In the first plan, Sui Xiong would use Divine Power to activate the longings contained in the body of Tessa, and then he would construct a special circulation in her body. Continuous longing would blend into her soul to nourish it. It would solve the problem of the deterioration of her soul. When her soul recovered, the various senses of her body would naturally recover. In the future, as long as her body was not damaged, she could live forever theoretically. Of course, it would still be necessary to supplement vitality, but the consumption would be much less than that in the past.

In the second plan, he would create a new body for Tessa. The new body would look no different from her present body. However, in fact, the new body would become a strange long-lived creature that was unimaginable for mortals. He would personally transfer Tessa’s soul into it. After that, Tess might take some time to get used to it, but there were basically no consequences. Gerald, the head of the Void Mask Knights, was such an existence.

In the third plan, he would directly give Tessa divinity. Tessa would turn into a divine creature. The soul level of a divine creature was very high. As long as she was not affected by Dirty Spells, she wouldn’t need to worry about the deterioration of her soul. Moreover, she could even refine her body to improve it. In the future, it might be possible for her to evolve into an existence that was similar to some Heavenly Creatures at the front of the Ring of the World.

Facing such sudden happiness, Tu Ya’an and his sister didn’t know what to do.

They had originally tried their best, but they couldn’t avoid the hopeless ending that would come sooner or later. They had been depressed. However, the Void Mask gave them three plans to solve the problem, and each one seemed to be quite good.

However, it also made them somewhat distressed. They didn’t know which one to choose.

This was like a poor man that hadn’t had enough food to eat suddenly making a fortune. Sitting in a high-end restaurant, he would look at the high-end dishes on the exquisite menu. He wouldn’t even know the names of those dishes before. Therefore, he would want to taste every dish, but his stomach wouldn’t be big enough.

Obviously, this was troublesome, but a happy kind of troublesome.

Tu Ya’an and his sister talked with Sui Xiong for a moment, and then they knew that they didn’t have to rush. Therefore, they began to discuss it.

According to Tu Ya’an’s idea, naturally, the third plan was the best. There were no consequences, and they didn’t need to worry about any bad changes. Moreover, the essence of his sister might evolve. She might gain real immortality.

In that way, even if he failed to step into the demigod realm in the future and became old and finally die, at least his sister would still be alive. That would be a comfort.

However, Tessa didn’t think so at all. She was clear that her brother was a necromancer. If she became a heavenly creature with good divinity, then she might hurt him when she was close to his brother in the future.

This was absolutely unacceptable. Absolutely!

Although Tu Ya’an’s strength was much stronger than his sister’s, it was Tessa who made the final decision. Therefore, after discussing for a while, they vetoed the third plan that he liked. Finally, they chose the second plan.

Tessa was not willing to tell him the reason for why she chose this plan. She had been slightly dissatisfied with her figure.

According to her body, she was a 13-year-old girl. However, her soul had grown up. She was not satisfied with her immature teenage figure.

In particular, she had seen Jane’s figure yesterday. She was impressed with her good figure that would make the most decent men glance. Thinking of her own thin body, her heart was deeply hurt.

Therefore, she insisted on choosing the second plan. She could ask the Void Mask for a favor when he rebuilt her body. She wanted to be a little more mature.

For real. Just a little more.
