Chapter 1,766 Nana’s Identity
"Hostliness is approaching, prompt, hostility is approaching."
Suddenly, a familiar voice that I didn't want to hear again sounded from the necklace on Dia's neck.
"Let me strangle you. Aren't you already disintegrated?"
I was so startled by this voice that I even forgot to take revenge on Beja.
"Unclear meaning." The other party didn't seem to understand what I meant.
"Aren't you the altar? Isn't the altar cracked now?" I pointed at the altar that was opened from the middle and complained loudly.
"At this time, shouldn't it be appropriate to complete the guardianship mission, fall down at the master's feet with a satisfied smile, and never get up again? Isn't this a touching script right?"
Damn, when I say this, it reminds me of Married Knight and Elufasia-chan again. This world is so strange. Things that shouldn’t have disappeared have disappeared. Those supporting characters who are like little shrimps are always still running around. Come out scary.
Wiping the corners of my sore eyes, I took a breath of air and pointed at the necklace: "Just act like a supporting actor, and let's end the show here!"
"The meaning is unclear." The other party was stunned for a long time and then repeated, as if he didn't quite understand my advanced way of saying it.
"Although I don't quite understand, I'm very grateful for your concern."
"I don't care, not at all. Why do I have to care about you?" I angrily raised my mind on the coffee table. Doesn't this guy understand human speech at all? Can't you see what I'm talking about?
"Nana, don't mind. Fanfan's way of expressing concern is very strange. To use the words he often says, it's [tsundere]." Tia smiled innocently and stabbed me gently in the back.
"Tsundere...really?" the voice in the necklace said intermittently, seeming to be entering this new vocabulary into the system.
"You're not arrogant, you bastard!" I didn't expect that even Tia would betray me. I'm desperate, and I'm desperate for this world!
"Bah~~~ She's so arrogant. It's so disgusting. Idiot Wu is so disgusting." Beiya, who was behind Dia, dared to stick her head out. Sticking out his tongue and making faces at me.
"Shut up, what qualifications do you have to criticize me, you super arrogant person!"
"Wha... what? Huh? Your Highness is arrogant? Are you kidding? How is that possible? You idiot Wu Cai is disgusting. Disgusting, big idiot, bah~~~"
I:"……"
This look and this tone are simply a textbook display of arrogance, and he even dares to say otherwise.
Because the flaws are too big, even I, the emperor of complaints, don’t know how to complain for a while.
"Let's get back to the subject, who are you? You said you were the guardian here at the beginning. It must be more than just this identity." Recalling the conversation with her when she was still in the fake Beiya form, I asked curiously.
"Answer, I am both the guardian here and the protected thing here."
"In other words, your true body is this necklace?" All three of us looked surprised.
Just by looking at the shape, you can tell that this necklace is definitely not a simple thing, but it actually has a soul... isn't it? Is it an artifact?
And this guy's intelligence is so high. Even having feelings, it definitely cannot be an ordinary artifact.
"Answer. Your Excellency can understand this for the time being."
"What is temporary?" Hearing the other party's answer, I became even more curious.
"Answer, there are various reasons."
"What is the reason?" I tried to break the casserole and asked.
"Answer, it involves confidentiality. You don't have enough authority to tell me."
Your sister... I could have said no earlier, but I only said this after it whetted my appetite. It's another series of "Look at these pants".
I fell into a state of speechlessness for a long time.
"Don't worry, let's talk about it after we get back." Seeing that the two of us were starting to quarrel again, Tia said quickly.
"Nana, is there anything else important here?"
"Confirmation, due to the huge consumption of the test, there is not much energy left. It can only last for 14.32 seconds, and there is nothing recyclable. It is recommended to evacuate immediately. Repeat the reason, due to the huge consumption of the test, due to the huge consumption of the test... "
"That's enough, you bastard, no need to repeat it again and again, I understand." Seeing this guy pretending to answer seriously and adding salt to my wound, I interrupted angrily.
I don't know why, but I feel like I don't get along with this guy, even more than I do with Beiya.
"Energy maintenance time, ten seconds, nine seconds..."
After being scolded by me angrily, it calmly started the countdown with an emotionless voice.
"Then... well, Nana, what will happen when the energy maintenance time ends?" Tia asked weakly.
"Answer, this space is energy support."
A very ambiguous answer came from the necklace, and then the last word was spoken calmly.
"Zero seconds."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook and the mountains shook. Huge rocks fell from the top of his head one after another, while the magma below surged up and was about to engulf him in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, this is the plot of a novel, you bastard! ! !
The three of them screamed, not caring about teaching this bastard necklace a lesson, and rushed towards the suspension bridge one by one.
After running for a few steps, I finally remembered that I was still a master, with great speed. I quickly transformed into the Demon Moon Wolf Witch, sandwiched Tia and Beja on my left and right, and rushed towards the exit quickly.
Just as they entered the passage, there was a loud thud behind them, and a rock larger than a ten-story building crashed down from the sky, and a splash of fiery red magma rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
I have to keep running away.
I looked back for a moment.
The passage was extremely fragile, and it completely collapsed in just a second or two. Although it blocked the invasion of magma, it also brought us a crisis.
Fortunately, Yao Yue Wolf Witch was fast enough. He ran out of the several thousand meters long passage in the blink of an eye. Only then did he jump up, and the three figures appeared in the ice cave of Duriel. When he turned around in mid-air, he heard a loud boom and saw the cave entrance completely collapsed.
The ice cave in Duriel is very strong. According to Dia, in order to withstand the torment of adventurers here and the projections of Duriel, it has been specially reinforced with magic, so it has not been affected by the collapse of the deep underground cave. It only shook slightly for a few seconds. Then it stopped and became very strong.
"It's safe..." I didn't expect that the passage was so fragile that it collapsed in an instant, leaving no room for us to perform. [My foot is stuck by a stone and I can't move. You guys should leave quickly. Leave Me Alone] An opportunity for such a touching plot.
The Yaoyue Wolf Witch, who was proud of his speed, was also sweating.
"You guy..." When I came back to my senses, I remembered to get angry at a certain culprit.
"Sorry, I thought you would notice." Although I said sorry, I couldn't feel the sincerity of the apology from the tone.
"Besides, the reason for all this is lack of energy. It's not my fault."
"I've been nagging about this thing non-stop since just now, haven't I already apologized?" I felt outraged at this guy's pettiness. Maybe it is a terrifying person who can surpass the slutty maid.
"Your apology really made me feel sincerity." The necklace made a salty voice, and then the next sentence was another irritating one.
"However, judging from events recorded in history, most of the time, an apology cannot solve any problems."
"Are you trying to say that my apology is not enough to extinguish your anger!"
"..."
"Don't speak? Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't speak... Ahem, that's not right." I coughed several times. unconsciously. It actually entered Grandma Rong's script.
"Could it be that those energies are very important to you?" Knowing that the other party only wants to act as a qualified artificial intelligence without any emotion. Now, he kept teasing me about this matter. There must be a reason for it, so I asked him this way.
"The correct answer is, if that part of the energy is not consumed, it can be used to do many things." Sure enough, this guy replied with a stinky face and an angry look on his face, as I guessed.
"Well, anyway, the energy has been consumed. Even if I regenerate my energy, I can't get it back, right? In the worst case, I promise you that when I go back, I will help you find a way to regain the energy."
"Negotiation concluded." After a moment of silence, the necklace came out with an indifferent voice that seemed to have a hint of helplessness, and then fell silent and stopped talking.
"Go back. I don't know if it's worth getting back such a necklace after all the hard work." I stretched and took out the scroll to return to the city.
"It must be a big gain. Nana might become a partner in the future." Tia shook the necklace on her chest as if to comfort her.
"I hope so."
The three light beams lit up at the same time and then disappeared, returning silence to the ice cave.
The next second, we appeared in the long-lost Horadric City.
After more than a month of experience, Tia and I had nothing to do and were already used to it. However, this was the first time for Beiya to experience this kind of formal experience. After staying in the dark tomb for a month, seeing the sun again like this, Beiya immediately felt happy. A feeling of being dizzy and unable to look straight.
It was similar to the situation when I returned to Rogge Camp from the Evil Cave for the first time. Seeing this scene, I missed Beja so much that I couldn't laugh at Beja anymore.
"No, I'm exhausted. I want to go back immediately, take a bath and have a good nap." No longer caring about the princess' etiquette, the little girl pulled the clothes around her neck and shouted loudly.
"Everyone is tired. Let's put the matter of the Horadric Cube and this necklace aside for now. Let's go back and have a good rest."
I patted the two little girls on the head and took them back to Dia's mage tower to take a bath and sleep.
Uh...separate of course.
