Chapter 1238: Teenager's Appearance
Come and go in a hurry. Angel wanted to ask what Madeline planned to do next and when she planned to return to the South Region. But Madeline just said that she would spend a few years studying the black thorns of Thorn Ridge and would not return in a short time, and then her figure disappeared.
She didn't say a word in the middle, nor did she feel puzzled about Angel's appearance here, let alone ask how Angel and Greywood knew each other.
There were many things occupying her mind. She hadn't dealt with her own affairs yet, so she didn't wonder about other people's affairs.
"Shopkeeper, who is this crazy woman..." Greywood came out from behind him and asked tremblingly until Madeline disappeared completely.
"A witch with a very unique personality." Angel said softly.
"Personality?" Greywood was a little difficult to understand.
"It's just a misunderstanding anyway, and it's solved now. Let's go, I'll take you into the Ice Valley." Angel turned around and walked towards the Ice Valley.
Although Greywood was still a little angry, since the shopkeeper said so, he could only swallow his grievances.
He took Greywood through the snow and walked into the depths of the ice valley.
Odkras still hadn't come out of the gate, but Angel had roughly figured out his mind. As for outsiders who broke into the ice valley, as long as they didn't provoke him, Odkras would never see them.
Just like Bopota, he completely treated him as air.
It was because of his character that Angel dared to bring Greywood in. However, after all, it was the territory of Odkras, so Angel still told Greywood not to run around.
He took Greywood all the way to the temporary residence area.
Greywood obviously felt uncomfortable with this ice crystal palace, after all, ice and fire are difficult to blend. He felt a little better after his real body turned into a human body.
"Have you settled Orusia?" Angel asked casually after entering the house. He originally just wanted to get a "yes or no" answer, but Greywood revealed everything that happened in the past half month.
Orusia now has a body, which was found in a branch of a demon monastery.
This body seems to have been sleeping for many years and is guarded by a goat demon. Orusia killed the goat demon and then occupied the body.
However, there seems to be something strange about that body. Orusia spends a lot of time every day to merge the soul and the body, so most of the time he is sleeping and wakes up for a short while every day.
Because there are no other threats near the demon monastery, Orusia saw that Greywood was bored, so he told it not to guard him all the time and he could go out for a walk by himself.
Orusia has indeed recovered some strength at present, and has contacted some of his former subordinates through secret channels.
"...I thought that Lord Orusia would not have any more accidents, so I came to find the shop owner." After Greywood finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became very hot when he looked at Angel.
Angel was still thinking about the "sheep demon" and "branch of the demon monastery" mentioned by Greywood. Why did it sound familiar? Could it be the sheep demon who chased Sinafa at the beginning? As a result, when he turned around, he saw Greywood's burning eyes.
Angel immediately understood that Greywood was going to get straight to the point.
Angel was going to ask about the demon monastery, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, he was determined not to have anything to do with Orusia.
"Shop owner, you promised me last time... an experience trip." Greywood's eyes were full of brilliance.
Angel took out the rhythm of the ocean from the bracelet, and Greywood's eyes were full of light when he saw it.
Seeing this, Angel sighed softly: "Actually, what Orusia told you before was not wrong. The experience journey is only beneficial to water life. If you use it, you may suffer from it."
"Are you sure you want to use it?"
Greywood hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "I understand, but I still plan to give it a try."
After spending some time together, Angel actually understood that although Greywood was a little bit of a brat, he actually had his own logic in doing things. Moreover, although Greywood looked like a little boy, he was still several times older than Angel in terms of age. Perhaps because of the form of a young fire demon, his mind was not really mature, but time had given him independent thinking ability and judgment ability.
Since Greywood must use it, Angel did not intend to stop him.
Anyway, no matter how much harm it suffered, it would only be injured at most. Moreover, Angel had promised Greywood that he would let him participate in the experience journey, so he would naturally not break his promise.
"Are you ready?"
Angel looked at Greywood and saw that he looked determined. Then he started the ocean rhythm, a faint blue light flashed, and Greywood slowly closed his eyes.
Angel watched quietly from the side.
Greywood behaved differently from all the other experiencers. At first, his expression was very calm, but soon, his whole body began to tremble, and his expression gradually twisted.
His muscles and bones kept twitching. His face slowly turned pale.
He seemed to be in great pain.
Time passed little by little, and Greywood had been in the illusion for almost three minutes. At the same time, Greywood's changes became more obvious, and flames began to seep out of his body.
After a while, Greywood had completely turned into a fire man.
Maintaining the "fire man" posture for about two minutes. Angel has begun to think about whether to forcefully wake up Greywood, but before he can do it, Greywood's face in the flames seems to have changed slightly.
Angel was stunned for a moment, and he always felt that Greywood's short body seemed to have stretched a little in a trance.
Angel thought it was an illusion, he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. In the blazing flames, the figure inside was obviously taller, and the delicate and cute face of the boy also changed at this time.
It turned into a young man who was just beginning to show his edge and had a sharp look. Handsome and full of determination.
Especially the pair of eyebrows that were burning with orange flames at this time, which looked full of oppression.
"Really...grown up?" Angel looked at the boy in the fire in surprise. Is this what Greywood looks like when he grows up?
Could the rhythm of the ocean also reversely ripen the life of the fire system? Angel was full of doubts. As a refiner, how could he not know that there was such a function?
Another minute passed.
The flames gradually dissipated. To Angel's surprise, the boy in the fire began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the flames completely dissipated, Greywood returned to his appearance.
Then, Greywood opened his eyes.
Angel wanted to ask about Greywood's condition, but after Greywood opened his eyes, he saw that his pupils were dull, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Angel immediately went forward to check Greywood and found that Greywood's breath was disordered, his face was pale, and his whole body was burning.
When he was worried that Greywood had problems with his internal organs, he heard a slight snoring from Greywood's nostrils.
Angel: "..." So he fell asleep?
Greywood slept for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already the next day.
Greywood felt as if his body was hollowed out, his limbs were sore, and his whole body was extremely weak. As soon as he moved, he couldn't help but gasp, it was painful.
"This is the consequence of your forced participation in the experience journey." A faint voice came into Greywood's ears. He looked up and found that the owner was sitting not far away, playing with a fiery red round bead in his hand.
"Shopkeeper." Greywood greeted him with a hoarse voice.
Angel casually threw the round bead in his hand to Greywood, "This is the only one, just use it."
Greywood stretched out his hand and saw that it was a fragment of the Fire Stone, which contained some flame energy. For wizards, it cannot be used directly, because these flame energies are full of the violent and chaotic atmosphere of the abyss, but for Greywood, it can be used directly to make up for the missing energy.
"Thank you." Greywood crushed the fragments of the Fire Stone and absorbed the flame energy inside into his body, and then he felt a little more comfortable.
"How is it, did you gain anything from this experience journey?" Angel asked when he saw that Greywood had recovered some strength.
Greywood pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.
When he was in Yuantan Continent, Greywood absorbed part of the power of the demon god's true spirit, and at that time he felt that some power key in his body was pried open.
Greywood immediately judged that this hidden power in his body might be the key to "maturity" that he had been pursuing.
Then Greywood tried every means to release the power, but he could sense it but couldn't pry it open.
During the time in the Demon Monastery, he pondered for a long time without an answer, and finally decided to find the owner to try the experience journey.
After seeing the magic of the experience journey in Rasuderlan, Greywood himself had a strong interest in the experience journey. Even if it is really as Lord Orusia said, using the experience journey may not be of any benefit to him, but Greywood still decided to give it a try to see if he could use the contradictory water element to touch the hidden power in his body in the opposite direction.
Listening to Greywood's narration, Angel couldn't help but think of the boy in the fire before.
"It seems that you succeeded."
Greywood nodded shyly: "I just sensed the hidden power a little bit. Although I haven't really pried it out, I think that day won't be too far away."
"Then work hard." Angel smiled and patted Greywood's shoulder, and as a result, this pat knocked Greywood to the ground.
"It hurts," Greywood gasped and cried out in pain.
Although Greywood got the answer he wanted, the price he paid was internal injuries.
