I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Carrying the strongest responsibility is a pure and heavy responsibility, and he must be focused on it.

"I know, so I will help you." Letitia said softly. "You have to remember that you will not fight alone. You have me, Isabella, and partners who can fight alongside you. These are things that Cheng Mo does not have."

After a moment of silence, Cheng Rang said: "You said Xiao Mo would be the key. What should be the specific method?"

"The previous method was to separate Cheng Mo from your body, and then you re-accept everything. This will release a [monster], and re-accepting those memories that you cannot bear is also a huge risk for you. But now there is With Xiao Mo, she is like a tailor-made container that can put Cheng Mo in."

"With the previous method, we didn't have enough preparation time, because the moment Cheng Mo separated, you had to have a decisive battle with him, and you had to do so while accepting that memory. The burden was too great and there was uncertainty. Too high."

"But Xiao Mo is different. We can restrain her, limit her upper limit to the greatest extent, temporarily store the steps of accepting memories, and put them on hold until you defeat Cheng Mo."

What Leticia said was not tactful, and Cheng Rang understood the meaning immediately.

"You mean...turn Xiao Mo into a cage to imprison Cheng Mo, and then..."

"Erase both of them together, and nothing will be left except memories."

"..."

"Wouldn't that make Xiao Mo look a little too pitiful? He has been treated as a tool from beginning to end..."

"Are you pitying yourself?" Leticia's tone contained a hint of hatred for the iron. She pushed Cheng Rang's back and stood up, "This is the best way. If you pity Xiao Mo, you might as well Go ask her opinion."

"What to ask, how to ask? Ask her if she wants to die for me?"

"Yes, that's what I asked."

Cheng Rang knew Xiao Mo's answer to this question without having to ask it.

She won't hesitate -

She would be willing to die for herself.

"It seems you know the answer." Leticia crossed her arms and looked condescendingly at Cheng Rang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head bowed and silent.

"What kind of results you want to get must require trade-offs. There must be a price associated with the entanglement of cause and effect. I think you will clearly understand this after this."

Leticia meant something, and she continued: "In order to stop you, Isabella has already had that consciousness, and she is always ready to face the price that comes with it."

"..."

"Think about it carefully, there is still time, I hope you won't regret it..."

The book of cause and effect and price was stuffed back into Cheng Rang's arms by Leticia.

"Breaking time is over, now...continue."

Fingers flicked the pages of the book, turning them open.

Bangdang....

"This is it."

With the sound of heavy hinges rubbing together, the mysterious door was opened in front of her. Behind Alekira, Isabella looked around.

Ancient dark gray marble columns are half-embedded in the wall, and the carpet with a hint of moldy smell is painted with mysterious patterns. Above the head is a semicircular dome made of various glazed tiles, and a huge wrought iron chandelier under the dome is lit with lights. A large number of candles flickered and burned, bringing dim light to the place.

Various windows like those of a large bank office are lined up on both sides. In the space between the lobby aisle and the windows, there are rows of chairs waiting for visitors.

Alekira put her hands on her hips and introduced Isabella: "Belida Everything House is responsive to all requests. Basically, if you encounter a problem that you can't solve, here will give you a satisfactory answer, but their prices are It’s quite special, it depends on whether you have enough capital to satisfy them.”

Alikira then strode straight along the central aisle to the information desk at the end, where sat an alien face with eight arms on his back.

"How to get more powerful power? Find Slopefata in the fourth window on the right."

The man just raised his eyes and glanced at Aliki

La, the answer came out.

"It's really inelegant. I don't need to rely on others to become stronger. It's not me who's here to do the work this time." Alekira put her hands on her hips, raised her chin back, and motioned for Isabella to come forward with Xiao Mo.

"Let me tell you, ordinary people may never see you, Miss Alekira, come to my humble home in their lifetime. I was shocked."

The man pushed the glasses on his face with one of his arms and turned his head to look at Isabella and Xiao Mo, who were walking slowly.

"The daughter of Eli Campbell and Glorias Taylor, the disciple of the Curse God Gesebrisak and the Witch of the Root, and the wife of the Sword God Cheng Rang - Isabella Campbell. Oh...you His background is really not small. He is a person who can achieve great things, tsk tsk tsk, rare, rare!"

The man chattered non-stop, shaking his head. His eight arms kept reviewing the hill-like pile of documents on the large table, signing and sealing them. He could easily see Isabella's background at a glance, which surprised her. .

"Excuse me..."

"Oh, sorry, Miss Campbell, this is your first time here. I am one of the people in charge of Bailida Everything House, Badro." Badro freed up another hand and stretched it out, shaking Isabella twice. .

"Responsible for guiding people who want to achieve their wishes. By the way, how is your sister?"

Isabella retracted her hand, subconsciously wiped the corner of her skirt, and said dryly: "It's... not bad, thank you Mr. Badro for your concern."

"Sir? I have no gender, so you'd better just call me by my name. It's very rude to admit the wrong gender. Your master should have taught you this." Ba Zhuo shook his head.

"I'm very sorry! Ba Zhuo, I came here because I wanted to——"

"I want to solve the problem with this little guy, I know, I know! So stop talking nonsense, soul science, turn right at the end of the left corridor and find Celetis!" Ba Zhuo scratched his head, as if he didn't want to continue talking to a few people. It was a waste of time and I continued to focus all my energy on the desk full of documents.

Looking at Isabella, Alikira shrugged and said, "Don't worry, this guy is just like that. The location is already known, let's go."

"good..."

Bowing to thank the busy Ba Zhuo, Isabella and Xiao Mo quickened their pace and caught up with Alekira who had already left.

Chapter Thirteen The Game of Souls

When you come to the end of the corridor on the left, turn right and you will see the door sign of the first room with the words [Soulology] on it.

It seems that all the signage text in Bailida Master House will change depending on the person. Anyway, Isabella doesn't think that the common language in this kind of place is English.

"You two go in, I'll forget it." Alekira folded her arms and leaned against the door, "I don't really like dealing with monsters who study souls. I hate those guys who can see through secrets at a glance."

"...Alekira, do you want to wait outside?"

"How can I wait for you to come out?" Alikila threw a business card to Isabella angrily, "I have found a place to live in advance, and then go directly to me here and bought so many things. Just placing it takes a lot of effort.”

"But we don't know the road." Isabella looked at the business card in front of her. There was nothing except the name "Hotel No. 8".

"Don't you know how to ask for directions?"

"..."

The need to separate operations here makes Isabella feel a little unsure. After all, she can't be sure that Alekira will definitely be waiting for her at Hotel No. 8. It's entirely possible that she might just go shopping on a whim. things.

Isabella's hesitant expression was ignored by Alekira, and she turned away.

"If you can't find it, you can only stay here. You have three days, because I only plan to hang out here for three days. Bye~"

Isabella stretched out her hand to keep Alekira, but before she could say anything, an old man's roar came from the closed room next to her.

"Isabella Campbell! Where is Isabella Campbell? Come in quickly!"

Xiao Mo tugged on Isabella's hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I remember Alekira's scent. I can find it."

After receiving Xiao Mo's promise, Isabella felt a little relieved, "Okay, let's go in first."

...

"excuse me."

Knocking on the door and entering the soul science office in front of you, it was completely different from the small room you imagined. The layout like a large library extended to both sides, and you couldn't see the side at a glance. Large bookshelves several people tall are neatly lined up, and the wooden floor has been polished so clean that the reflective wooden floor will make a squeaking sound when stepped on.

Looking forward, I saw a mountain of messy books. An old man with white hair and a childlike face in a long robe was buried in the books. He wore a purple pointed hat that looked like a wizard on his head, with shining yellow stars on it. , looks very funny, rather it doesn’t match the old man’s appearance at all.

He waved this way, "Oh, you must be Isabella Campbell, come here, come here."

"...Is it Celetis?"

It must be said that Isabella has a long memory. In addition to the name told by Badro at Bailida Master House, she did not easily add the title "Mr." or "Ms." based on the appearance.

"Of course, I am the only person in charge of soul science. Ba Zhuo has already communicated with me. You have to solve the soul confusion in this little guy."

"That is

What? "

"Oh, everyone will ask, this is my favorite hat. I like purple and stars very much." Celetis proudly raised the brim of the pointed wizard hat on his head like an old child.

"You misunderstood... I mean, soul confusion." Isabella twirled her fingers and smiled politely.

Celetis kept waving his hands and blowing his beard at Isabella: "Simple, that's all simple! But don't you think my hat is really nice?"

"So ugly."

"Xiao Mo...!" Isabella pulled Xiao Mo's hand hard and apologized to Celetis for Xiao Mo's straightforward words.

The old man's expression was obviously more frustrated and he wiped his eyes: "Oh, I know that people's aesthetics are different, but I really like this hat."

"Yes, it suits you very well..." Isabella nodded in agreement.

But Celetis immediately glared over and shouted: "Don't lie in front of me! I will know, and you will know too!"

Isabella was startled by the uncertain Celetis and apologized quickly.

"There is no need to apologize. I have long been accustomed to people's flattering words. It seems that Campbell, you are just like everyone else."

"I...I just don't want to make you sad." Isabella wanted to defend.

"Then there is no need for you to use human methods on me, Campbell. There are differences between etiquette and politeness in every civilization. In Bailida, where millions of civilizations are culturally blended, communication is just communication, there is no need. If you try to be more polite, you will suffer a loss."

"Much...so how long until we get down to business, Celetis?"

Isabella almost said the words "Thank you for the advice" and straightened her back. She only used communication to ask the old man in front of her.

Celetis nodded with satisfaction, "What a smart human being. He never made any mistakes twice. You are a genius."

"I know." Isabella replied flatly.

Celetis laughed loudly. He only now cast an approving look at Isabella. With a wave of his hand, the books flew off the bookshelf and were piled into two stacks.

"sit."

After the two sat down, Celetis relaxed his body and propped his elbows on the book in front of him. "Soul confusion is essentially the splitting and blending of one or more souls, which affects each other. This kind of The impact can be positive or negative and basically cannot be eliminated or resolved on its own.”

"Of course, people who can solve this kind of problem by themselves won't come here, right?" The old man winked mischievously.

"The situation on this little guy is easy to fix, but my prices vary depending on the solution."

"Just ask and I'll do my best."

Isabella was not used to talking to the gray-haired old man in front of her without using honorifics, but such communication seemed to be the best and most normal for Celetis.

"Come on, I'll give you two plans." Celetis waved in the air, and a long blank parchment appeared out of thin air, followed by a quill stained with ink.

Following Celetis's command, the sound of brushing was heard, and the quill began to write rapidly on the paper. He himself looked at Isabella again.

"Let's not talk about this little guy for now. I think you are being troubled by a bigger problem, aren't you?"

"What?"

"Oh, please! Do you have to let me say it? You even touched the forbidden power for this issue." Celetis mentioned it vaguely, and Isabella suddenly nodded slowly.

"Then... do you have a solution to this problem?"

"It depends on whether you can afford it." He rubbed his fingers.

Isabella swallowed nervously and spoke slowly.

"So...what's the price, Celetis?"

"One of your qualities."

"What?" Isabella frowned, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Diligence, determination, kindness, courage, loyalty, sacrifice...you don't lack any of these things in human beings that are more precious than gold. You can definitely afford it. I want one of them." Si raised his finger, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was like an old fox determined to win.

"I think I can solve my problem myself." Isabella refused without hesitation.

"Don't be anxious, don't refuse in a hurry!" Celetis waved his hand quickly, "What I just mentioned are all the qualities you think are good. Of course, I can also take the bad ones."

Isabella asked warily: "For example?"

"--lie."

Celetis supported the hill of books, leaned over, and said word by word: "I want to take away your lies."

"what does that mean?"

"Of course you can't lie from now on, no matter what kind of lies... they will disappear from your soul."
