Chapter 772 The new legions V
The girl sobbed intermittently for a while.
After crying for a while, she finally slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on the face of the blond young man in front of her.
She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but the sound that came out was vague and incoherent, like a baby learning to speak:
"Crab...crab...mud..."
The voice was weak and hoarse, and it sounded strange even to her.
Xia Xiu looked at her, paused slightly, and said in a calm but clear tone:
"Your nerve endings' perception of stimulation has been inhibited for a long time, and the long-term blockage of pain signals has caused the degeneration of your nervous system.
Especially in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, it is normal for signal conduction to be delayed or disrupted.
Transient loss of language function is one of these sequelae. ”
His eyes softened slightly and he continued:
"However, these can be recovered slowly. If you can't express yourself clearly now, you can try to write down what you want to say with a pen... You should have received basic education, right?"
The dragonborn girl listened and nodded, as if she understood that the young man in front of her had no ill intentions.
Her eyes gradually softened, and a long-lost sense of stability filled her heart - he should be a good person.
Seeing her nod, Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and waved lightly, and the [Private Customization] ability was activated instantly.
In the golden light flowing from his fingertips, a complete set of clothes, an erasable writing board and a writing pen appeared, floating in front of the girl.
It was a set of simple but comfortable clothes. The loose design could cover the traces of the dragon scales on her body without making her feel restricted.
When the girl saw this, she was stunned for a moment, lowered her head subconsciously, and her eyes fell on her body.
There was no embarrassing scene of a happy couple. What came into view was a body of dull dragon scales. These scales were rough and lifeless, like a broken shell covering a monster-like body.
Her eyes gradually dimmed, and she felt as depressed as if she had fallen into an abyss.
Monster...
I have been a monster like this my whole life...
Xia Xiu seemed to see through the worries and fears deep in the girl's heart at a glance, and smiled and comforted:
"I have an agency here that specializes in dealing with situations like yours. Just follow me, and the people in the central containment room will properly handle your problem.
Your body and your abilities, they will find ways to help you solve it. ”
After hearing this, the dragonborn girl was startled for a moment, then nodded without any hesitation.
She quickly put on the clothes that had just been projected. Although her movements were a little clumsy, she obviously carried an eager trust.
Then, she picked up the writing board and started writing seriously on it.
However, her fingers with sharp dragon claws were not very flexible yet, her handwriting was crooked, and she even made some small mistakes in spelling, but she still completed her name quickly.
Xia Xiu lowered his head and glanced at the writing board, and some ugly but clear handwriting on it came into view - [Eveli Carlos].
Although the spelling is wrong, the general meaning is obvious.
Xia Xiu nodded, showed a faint smile, raised his head and said gently:
"Hugh Abraham—that's my name."
The girl raised her head and looked at the blond young man in front of her. She wanted to repeat her name, but the sound was hoarse and confusing, so she could only lower her head in frustration again.
"Don't rush, take your time."
Xia Xiu comforted Eveli.
At the same time, while comforting them, a flowing radiant [∞] symbol slowly emerged under their feet.
Eveli's eyes fell on the Möbius strip, and her body trembled suddenly, as if she was stimulated by some terrible memory.
That endless cycle of falling seemed to be engraved deep into her soul, causing her to take a step back subconsciously.
Xia Xiu saw this and smiled slightly:
"Don't resist, I won't let you fall this time."
"I still have the last two little tails to deal with. Please follow me for now and don't run around."
After hearing these words, the girl's emotions gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and nodded, as if she was trying to overcome her own shadow.
The hand that was holding the writing board relaxed a little, and she stood gently, looking at Xia Xiu with mixed emotions in her eyes.
The next second, the Möbius strip rotated slowly, the surrounding space began to fluctuate, and the light and shadow changed accordingly. With a slight spatial distortion, their figures soon disappeared into the underground laboratory together.
*

On the continent of Elsinia, on a huge ice floe, with the distortion of space, two [∞] symbols quietly emerged.
The brief tranquility was broken by slight fluctuations. After a burst of light and shadow distortion, two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the ice floe.
The cold wind howled, and there was a cold and biting breath in the air, surrounded by the boundless white world.
Eveli slowly stood up and looked at the world ahead. She was instantly shocked and speechless by the sight in front of her.
She saw the devastated continent of Elsinia - the original continuous glaciers no longer existed, replaced by huge faults and fissures, running through the earth like an abyss.
The snow-covered plateau turned into huge floating ice blocks, separated from each other by black, icy water.
Above the sky, the storm had long since dissipated, but it left behind large gloomy gray clouds. Occasionally, embers-like light spots slipped from the clouds, like the remnants of the doomsday fire.
Under the ice floes, the sea surface was disturbed by large-scale iceberg collapses and rupture of earth veins, and countless floating ice blocks were scattered in the sea area.
The traces of the ground being burned by the flames were clearly visible, and there were even charred fires that had not yet been extinguished on the surface of some floating ice cubes. The center of the flame was still bright orange, and the surrounding ice cubes were roasting and sizzling.
Eveli's eyes were attracted to a piece of floating ice, which was full of remaining traces of the battlefield - broken weapons, burned flags, and metal debris twisted into strange shapes. Some of the debris actually looked like some kind of biological and mechanical fusion. result.
Further away, a huge dragon corpse spanned several ice floes. Its scales were scorched black and its wings were broken. Its huge body cracked the ice, and its blood condensed into ice in the cold wind, spreading like a scarlet river. Towards the distance.
At the farther end, there is a larger dragon skeleton.
Eveli stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and the cold air hit her face, making her feel shocked like never before.
She couldn't imagine what was causing such destruction and catastrophe in front of her.
Just as she was immersed in shock and wonder, a burst of excited shouting suddenly came from the distance:
"Waaagh! Waaagh!"
The voice became clearer and clearer, with a kind of uncontrollable enthusiasm and joy.
Eveli subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a yellow wave coming towards her in the distance.
She blinked her eyes and saw clearly what it was - they were a group of short yellow people, no more than two or three apples tall, rolling and crawling towards them at an incredible speed.
Every face of those little people was filled with extremely fanatical expressions, and their round bodies looked extremely flexible.
They raised their arms, jumped around, and shouted some strange things.
"Waaagh! Waaagh!"
"Khyloth! Khyloth!"
They quickly swarmed to Xia Xiu's feet and danced crazily around him, as if they were seeing gods.
Their eyes shone with admiration and fanaticism, and some even knelt down and kowtowed, shouting excitedly in an indecipherable language:
"Khyloth! Khyloth!"
The sound echoed in the cold wind and seemed particularly abrupt.
Fuli stared blankly at the scene in front of her, feeling as if she had fallen into a bizarre dream.
She had no idea where these little yellow people came from and why they were surrounding Xia Xiu so enthusiastically.
The seemingly funny movements and high-pitched shouts of those villains seemed lively and weird in the cold wind, but she could only nervously hold the writing board in her hand, and couldn't help but glance at the blond young man not far away.
Xia Xiu stood on the ice floe and calmly stared at these little yellow people.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, with a rare hint of interest.
Obviously, he was not disturbed by this scene, but watched it as if it were a farce.
Under his gaze, the group of minions suddenly became commotion, and their excited shouts gradually turned into a noisy quarrel.
At first, several minions were chirping and waving their arms, as if they were fighting for something.
Soon, the quarrel escalated into a scuffle. They pulled each other's bodies and even rolled into a ball. The center of the dispute turned out to be an old "box".
"Takaboom!Balalarikitiki!"
"Grrrr!Kapookakatakamoooo!"
Just when this chaotic battle was about to get completely out of control, a slender figure stepped out from behind.
It was a slightly slender minion with a typical oval-shaped body, a tuft of miscellaneous hair on its head, and a pair of big eyes. He walked towards the struggling companions menacingly, raised his fists and began to teach them one by one.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One punch at a time, the movements were quick and clean, without any sloppiness at all.
The other minions immediately dispersed upon seeing this, the fight ended instantly, and the noise also became quiet.
The lanky minion proudly picked up the cracked "box" and slowly walked towards Xia Xiu.
He knelt down on one knee and acted like a knight paying tribute to the king. He raised the "box" with both hands and presented it to Xia Xiu.
While offering his gift, he blinked his eyes enthusiastically, with a flattering smile on his expression, as if he was waiting for Xia Xiu's approval.
Xia Xiu couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle, obviously amused by the funny scene in front of him.
"Interesting."
He leaned forward slightly and took the box handed over by the minion.
The outer shell of the box was full of cracks, and there were wisps of smoke coming out. It looked like it had just experienced a violent explosion.
Xia Xiu lowered his head and looked at it carefully, and then his eyes fell on a line of tiny writing on the bottom of the box.
He whispered the words:
"The Dragon's Homecoming..."
Then, he held the box and smiled at the minions:
"Thanks, it saves me the effort of going to the sea to salvage."
As soon as he finished speaking, the minions around him burst into cheers and jumped up and down excitedly.
Chirping shouts came and went, and several minions even hugged each other excitedly and rolled into a ball.
The lanky minion at the head saw that the team was too chaotic, and immediately coughed, turned around and roared loudly at the minions behind him, as if scolding the soldiers to stay in formation.
When the other minions heard his roar, they stood up straight, stopped making noise, and all looked at Xia Xiu. The leader of the minions walked up to Xia Xiu and used a funny knight etiquette. He made a few exaggerated salutes.
Xia Xiu looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing.
He immediately asked:
"You want to follow me?"
There was a hint of ridicule in Xia Xiu's tone.
When all the minions heard this, their expressions were uniform, and they nodded wildly, as if they were about to jump out of the ground with excitement.
When Xia Xiu saw this, he showed an expression pretending to be thinking, lowered his head and held his chin in thought.
This action made the minions jump and jump in place, like children waiting for judgment.
"My answer is, well..."
Xia Xiu deliberately lengthened his tone. The minions all held their breath. Even their most excited movements stopped and looked at him expectantly.
“A pleasure to work with.”
He suddenly smiled brightly and said easily.
"Waaagh! Waaagh!"
"Waaagh! Waaagh!"
Cheers suddenly broke out again, and all the minions were as excited as if they had won some supreme honor. The lanky minion in the lead even made several funny gestures in excitement, as if to express gratitude or an oath.
He turned to his team and waved his hands, as if organizing a new celebration.
At this time, the leading minion turned his head and gestured with Xia Xiu again.
His movements are complex and comical, a bit like pantomime.
Xia Xiu watched his movements and quickly understood what he meant.
He smiled slightly and whispered: "Your loyalty has been accepted."
With these words, the incarnation [Vashak] behind him quietly emerged, and the dark shadow extended outward from Xia Xiu's feet like a living creature, like a flowing underground river, slowly moving towards the direction of the minions. Extension.
Eveli on the side opened her eyes wide in surprise, staring at the spreading darkness.
But the minions showed no fear at all. They cheered, as excited as if they were seeing their most admired idols.
The lanky little yellow man at the head was the first to stand up. He held his head high and faced the darkness as if he was being baptized.
When the shadow swallowed his body, he did not struggle at all. Instead, when the shadow swallowed him until only one head was left, he gestured "yeah" to the sky, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Then, the other minions jumped into the darkness one by one, cheering.
"Wuhu~"
"Wuhu~"
"Wuhu~"
They scrambled and pushed each other, excited and disorganized, but in the end they were all swallowed up by the shadow.
Finally, when the last minion disappeared into the darkness, the noise on the ice floe calmed down, leaving only Eveli standing there, still looking at Xia Xiu with shock on her face.
[Newly added legion: The Little Man in the Bottle·Yellow Transformation! 】
[Current Legion Replenishment: 5/26]
The genealogy prompt flashed in Xia Xiu's retina. He did not rush to see the detailed settings of the legion. Instead, he looked at Eveli who was standing there and blinked at her with a touch of relaxation on his face. smile:
"There's another group of guys to deal with, and you should know that group of guys too."
After speaking, he stretched out a finger and pointed forward.
In the void, a huge [∞] symbol slowly took shape, and then, a humanoid creature burning with flames slowly stepped out of it.
Their bodies were covered in twisted and hot flames, the outlines of their bodies were blurred, and every step left scorched marks on the ground.
These flame demons have different shapes, but their momentum is extremely strong, like evil spirits from hell being released into the world.
As soon as Eveli saw those flame demons, her body immediately tensed up, her pupils suddenly shrank, a low growl came out of her throat, and the corners of her mouth opened unconsciously, revealing sharp teeth.
"Roar——"
It was an instinctive reaction, stemming from the abnormal characteristics of the Balrog still remaining in her body.
Although Xia Xiu has extinguished the flame in her body, this residual characteristic is still like some kind of shadow that is difficult to get rid of, deeply ingrained in her soul.
Sensing something strange about her, Xia Xiu slowly walked to her side, stretched out a hand and put it on her head, as if comforting a frightened little beast, and gently rubbed her hair.
His voice was low and gentle, with a convincing power:
"Don't worry, they can't hurt you anymore."
As he spoke, the avatar [Vashak] behind him slowly raised his eyes. Those deep eyes were like whirlpools, exuding a chilling majesty.
Xia Xiu's shadow was no longer calm, it began to boil as if it had been injected with life, and the surging darkness was filled with unspeakable power.
In the depths of the shadow, various terrifying roars echoed, and countless souls trapped in the abyss roared.
The tentacles of the shadow swept towards the flame demons like hunters.
Sensing the danger, the Balrogs began to struggle, trying to counter the shadow's power with their fiery flames.
But these struggles are meaningless, the shadow is like a bottomless abyss, dragging the Balrogs into it.
Their roars became weaker and weaker, and their struggling movements became slower and slower, until they were finally completely swallowed up by the shadows.
[Newly added legion: Burning Legion - Balrog! 】
[Current Legion Replenishment: 6/26]
Eveli stared at all this blankly, her eyes full of horror and confusion.
Her heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and her body froze in place, but was soothed by the warmth of the blond young man's palm.
The blond young man was still gently stroking her hair, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Everything in the past will become the past from today on."
