Chapter 206: Coercion and inducement
At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the nights are cool.
The lights in the church were on dimly.
Lux stood at the door, covered in lights, her arms holding up the door illuminated by the moonlight.
The golden hair flows smoothly on the shoulders, the sapphire eyes reflect the full moon like a deep pool, and the cold white skin is more dazzling than the silver.
Her cherry lips parted slightly.
Raven's heart skipped a beat and he was about to grab Lux's hand, but the girl in the night had already turned around and walked upstairs.
During the movement, the pale pink nightgown swayed erratically, and the heel separated from the upper, showing a youthful silhouette.
Stunned for a moment, Raven followed quietly.
On the second floor, Lux opened the bedroom door, held the gift box in both hands and placed it on her chest. Although she hesitated, she bit her lip and handed it over.
The gift box is wrapped in bright yellow satin, with a cute bow tied with a white ribbon.
Lux lowered her head slightly and looked at Raven secretly, half worried and half expectant.
Leaven reached out and took the box, gently untied the ribbon, and the satin fell down, revealing a wooden box.
The moment he opened the wooden box, Raven's breathing paused slightly.
It is a golden quill, made of swan feathers, but if you look closely, you will find that behind the quill it is holding, there are not feathers, but wisps of slender quills. Blonde hair, soft tentacles, and a hint of girly body fragrance.
Those were feathers woven from Lux's hair.
Lux pursed her lips and wrapped her fingers around the ends of her hair, wondering: "...don't you like it?"
"No, I like it very much." Raven smiled and buttoned the gift. Put it in the palm of your hand, put it into your belt, and walk forward slowly.
Lux stepped back step by step, suddenly screamed and fell down on the bed.
Her chest heaved and her pupils contracted slightly, looking at Raven like a little white rabbit facing a big bad wolf.
"Your feet are so beautiful." Raven said.
He didn't lie. Lux's feet were small and slender, with white insteps, slender toes, and cute round toe belly. Because she had just exercised, the edges of the soles were slightly red, showing a clear arch. .
Lux moved towards the bed, leaping onto the bed with two legs like a fish, but attracted a pair of hands chasing after her.
"My feet are not cold." Lux said softly.
"Then warm your hands for me."
But immediately, Lux knew that Raven was lying. His hand was not only not cold, but also very hot. The heat flowed along her skin and burned her cheeks red.
The moonlight is like water, there are waves on the sheets, and the black fish is chasing the tail of the goldfish.
Finally, the goldfish stranded on the beach, leaving the black fish to nest at the bottom of the pond.
Leaven was lying on the bed, looking at Lux leaning on the head of the bed, and suddenly asked: "Why a pen?"
"You are a lord, you can often write." Lux Silk eyelashes blinked gently: "I think...every time you write, you can think of me."
Raven smiled, stood up and slowly leaned forward: "Actually, there is another way."
"What...?" Before he could finish speaking, Lux's lips were already touched. Blocked, eyes widened, blurred light flowing in them.
After feeling confused, she seemed to muster up the courage and reached out to wrap her arms around Raven.
Just like water in a bottle, and like a fish in a bottle.
The slender white legs were twisted together.
a long time.
Lux lay quietly in Raven's arms, her lips slightly red and swollen, and she opened Raven's hand that wanted to climb onto her waist.
Leaven stopped moving and just held the slender fingers.
The atmosphere was quiet. For a while, apart from each other's breathing, the two of them could only hear the faint chirping of insects outside the window.
Lux quietly looked at Raven's side face, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her lips slowly came close to his cheek.
At this moment, Raven suddenly turned his head and their eyes met. Lux hurriedly wanted to retract, but Raven grabbed her shoulders.
Scored twice.
"Look, even if you want me to forget, I won't be able to forget." Raven said.
"...I can't forget it either..." Lux's voice sounded like a mosquito.
“What?”
"...You heard it."
Leaven smiled slightly, stopped talking, and just hugged the beauty in his arms tighter.
No matter how long he stayed, Lacus would not allow Raven to spend the night in the church.
So when we left the church, it was still dark.
As Raven walked on the road, the morning mist gradually began to rise. He rubbed his fingers and reminisced about Lux's rawness, but suddenly thought of something, and frowned slightly.
"What's going on?" An old voice sounded behind Raven: "Wondering how to deal with that old antique standing between you and your little lover?"
"Yes, then..." Just now After saying a few words, Raven froze and turned around slowly, only to see Crouch looking at him with a weird smile, a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Les, ha." Crouch said sarcastically: "I am so old that I didn't guess that it was the abbreviation of Raven Griffith."
I just took advantage of a student and was caught by the teacher. Even with Raven's He was also a little embarrassed: "Well... I didn't mean to lie to you, it's just..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Crouch snorted: "If it weren't for the fact that you are still well behaved, For my sake, do you think you can stand till now?”
"Follow me."
Crouch said so, and of course Raven had to obey.
The old man has a really good temper and is in a different place. If his daughter is attracted by another little yellow hair, Raven will definitely not be as calm as Crouch.
Following Crouch for a long distance, he did not stop until he reached the depths of the Thousand Needles Forest. The time was the deepest darkness before dawn.
Crouch walked to a boulder, flicked his sleeves, golden light flashed with the sound of wind, and a large splash of fine stone powder suddenly flowed from the boulder.
When the dust was blown away, the boulders disappeared without a trace, leaving only a set of stone tables and chairs.
Subsequently, pieces of Lewis chess were revealed on the table, clearly black and white.
The lines on the chessboard are also revealed, shining a scorching light in the darkness.
This method is so easy. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Raven wouldn't believe that someone could do it.
If you put it on a stone, it will carve out a shape; if you put it on a person, it will be like cutting it into pieces with a thousand cuts!
"Old man, I will go first with black."
Before he finished speaking, Crouch had already moved the chess pieces.
Leaven could only walk to the opposite side of Crouch to engage in the battle. In just thirty steps, he was forced into a corner and surrendered.
“Come again.”
“Come again.”
"Come again!"
After playing four games in a row, Raven lost four games.
Crouch held the chess pieces and said proudly: "Boy, aren't you very good at playing chess? Why can't you do it now?"
"I was Reis before, of course I can win." Raven smiled helplessly: "Now that I am Raven, I can't win."
"Are you afraid?" "Yes."
"Then leave Lux."
"It can't be done."
"What did you say?" Crouch stared at Raven: "You Say it again."
Reiwen stared back without giving in: "Do it!"
Crouch's body froze: "Do you know that I am a seventh-level great magician?"
"I know."
"No, you don't know anything! ”
Before he finished speaking, Crouch’s body slowly rose, and the robes around him moved automatically without wind. The light burst out, dyeing all his silver hair and beard into gold.
He reached out and made a stroke, and balls of pure golden flames flew out, surrounding his head.
Nine groups of flames, like nine scorching suns shining in the sky, dispersed the dark night, making the earth even brighter than at noon in summer!
The tender green willow leaves were scorched and withered. Sweat poured out on Raven's forehead and was immediately evaporated, causing his lips to begin to crack and bleed.
In the light, Crouch's face was serious, like a god sitting high in a church.
"Leave Lux, and I will spare your life."
Raven still held his head high, and even slowly stood up straight, expressing his attitude with actions.
Crouch's brows jumped - if he can withstand his own pressure, this kid has reached the third level! ?
The third level has only been practiced for two years! ?
A hint of admiration emerged in his heart, but his posture became even colder:
“I don’t know whether to live or die!”
Crouch waved his long stick lightly, and a blazing sun shot towards the thunder. The text comes roaring!
Before he even got close, the high temperature generated by the burning light caused the jungle nearby to burst into flames!
Ashes rise.
Leaven stood there, not moving at all.
The blazing sun brushed past his ears, and the blazing heat burned and curled his hair, falling into the ground behind him!
Boom——
The earth shook!
A huge amount of sediment was splashed along with the broken giant tree, and was ignited and melted by the terrible heat in mid-air, turning into heavy rain of fire.
Lei Wen slowly turned around and saw a hundred meters behind him, a deep pit with a diameter of tens of meters appeared. There were cracks around the pit. The cracks were filled with red magma, and the bottom of the pit was even more... It has turned into a lava lake!
What was originally a flat land turned into a sinister landscape like a crater!
"Raven!" Crouch's voice sounded: "If you don't agree again, I will destroy your Eagle Town and then kill you!"
"No...you won't." Raven said.
Crouch frowned: "You want to bet that I will be soft?"
"I never gamble." Raven shook his head, his voice weak but clear: "The reason why I am like this Say, it’s because you are Lux’s teacher.”
“Her teacher will never kill innocent people.”
Yes, if Crouch is really that kind of person. You can start already, there is no need to wait until now.
Crouch fell silent, and the eight blazing suns around him gradually dissipated, and his body fell back to the ground: "... Raven, you are indeed very smart. It seems that I was soft-hearted for a moment, but you saw the flaw."
Raven said: "This is because I believe in Lux."
Listen He mentioned his students again, and Crouch snorted: "If you know Lux so well, why don't you know yourself?"
"How long can you survive the blood curse on you?"< br>
Lei Wen said: "...Eighteen years."
"Eighteen years! You only have eighteen years left to live. Do you want my students to be widowed for you?" Crouch stroked his beard and rolled his eyes: "However, I am not without your blood curse. Way."
"In this way, you make a soul oath and leave Lux from now on, and I will help you relieve your blood pressure. Curse, how about it?"
Leaven didn't hesitate for a moment: "I refuse."
"I'm still young, and I can slowly find a way to break the blood curse, but in eighteen years of life. It’s not short.”
“I don’t accept life without Lux!”
This sentence immediately choked Crouch. He was an old man and he could tell at a glance whether he was lying. Raven's words were not false at all.
Little bee, why did you catch a flower and not let go!
I have tried coercing him, but it has no effect; I have also tried inducement, but it still has no effect!
On the contrary, this boy showed off his face!
“You are really incompetent.” Crouch sighed helplessly.
Lei Wen said firmly: "This is my attitude. Why don't you go and persuade Lux?"
"Huh! You know her, don't I? She is just a stubborn person! Look at it! No one can bring her back, not even if I am her teacher!”
Crouch scratched his head anxiously: “I don’t know about this kind of love! What's so good about love? Two people are both virtuous!"
Lei Wen looked happy: "So, you agreed to let us be together?"
"Yes? Shit!" Crouch waved his hand: "She is a priest. Do you understand the twists and turns here?"
Raven asked: "What do you mean?"
"It's boring!" Crouch exhaled from his nose: "When I was young, I was angry with the teacher, and when I was old, I was angry with the students. I’ve never had peace of mind in this life.”
“I have some things to do well. Think about it."
As he said that, he was about to leave. He stopped halfway, turned around and pointed at Raven and said, "Be more honest lately and don't go into the church all the time. If you do something extraordinary, , I can’t spare you!”
Watching Crouch go away.
Looking at the deep pit that was still steaming with scorching heat, Raven lowered his head and touched the chessboard. The touch was as delicate as jade: "This is the seventh level..."
After sighing with emotion, he sighed in annoyance. He took out his staff and started chanting a spell.
Why?
Put out the fire!
Crouch just had a great time showing off his power and set a lot of trees on fire. If he didn't do this, they might have burned to death.
After the heavy rain washed away, the flames gradually extinguished, and Raven returned to the eagle collar under the rising sun.
While walking on the street, I could hear passers-by talking about a meteorite that had fallen in the direction of Thousand Needles Jungle, and some people were discussing whether to pick up meteorites in exchange for money.
Knowing the truth, Lei Wen was silent for a moment, but it had to be said that when a seventh-level powerhouse took action, the power was not inferior to the power of nature.
Back at Eagle Castle, Raven sat in the study, playing with the gift Lux gave him in his hand, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
I gained a lot today. I saw a seventh-level powerhouse take action. The most important thing is that I found out Crouch's attitude.
He is obviously on Lux's side and thinks about Lux in everything.
Being on Lux’s side also means that he is on Raven’s side.
In fact, several times in the middle, Raven considered whether to ask the Bone Dragon to take action, but in the end he restrained himself with his understanding of Lux and his grasp of human nature.
Now it seems that this decision is extremely wise.
"Lord Baron." Petty's voice sounded.
Raven was slightly dissatisfied: "Didn't you tell me not to notify me no matter what happens today?"
"Please forgive me, Lord Baron, but I have to tell you this news."
Petty's voice was a little frightened: "... Count of Montreal, come to visit!"
