"We can only say that there have been some transactions between us." Walter explained calmly, his face still calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
Walter's survival from the Second Age to the present is largely due to the transactions he made with Candle Girl.
Originally, the Candle Girl was planning to turn Walter into a candle, but Walter provided too many precious items.
In the end, Candle Girl chose to give up the idea of turning Walter into a candle, and even handed her token into Walter's hands.
Walter opened his palm, and a half-burned candle appeared in front of everyone.
Feeling the scent of the candle girl, the people at the VIP table involuntarily backed away.
The candle in Walter's hand seemed to be the eyes of the candle girl, looking coldly at everyone present.
Lord Rat glanced at the candle in Walter's hand, and specific information appeared in Lord Rat's eyes.
[Semi-melted fat wax]
Origin: Crack of Void
quality:? ? ?
Category: Foreign Item
Effect: Cannot be used!
Warning: This item must never be used by an Adjudicator!
Introduction: The Candle Girl is a strange being in the void. Her existence is accompanied by many mysteries. She wanders in the cracks of the void. Most of the strange beings in the void are unwilling to come into contact with her. Such beings are evenly matched with the candle girl.
The Candle Girl is a representative of weirdness. She can appear in any place where there are candles, flames, and burning debris. She has no entity and is almost indestructible. The judge can use the "half-melted fat wax" to fight with the candle in the reincarnation paradise. Women conduct transactions/exchanges, and the obtained items are uncertain.
The Judge can also try to use 'half-melted fat wax' in the mission world to trade/exchange with the Candle Girl. Because the Candle Girl has many uncertainties, this behavior will bring unknown risks and benefits.
Price: Can be sold, traded, and cannot be destroyed.
…
After seeing the information, the corners of Mr. Rat's mouth twitched involuntarily and he took a few steps back unconsciously.
Walter calmly took out a match, lit it with a flick, and then ignited the candle in his hand.
The moment the candle was lit, Walter suddenly felt in a trance, and his consciousness was pulled into a strange space by a mysterious force.
When Walter woke up, he found himself in an old room of about 30 square meters.
The room was empty and old, with walls and floors showing a grayish-yellow color burned by the fire, dry and rough to the touch.
Walter looked up and saw that the ceiling was densely covered with candles. Each candle clings tightly to it, and the flame burns downward, flickering.
Walter turned his head suddenly, and an extremely pale female face came into view.
The red lips on that face were so bright that it was almost eerie, and the two eye holes were pitch black and bottomless.
A full head of black hair spreads down like a waterfall, adding a bit of strange beauty.
She was wearing a gorgeous white dress with blood streaks, like a ghost coming out of hell.
This was the Candle Girl, and her appearance made Walter's heart tighten.
When the eyes of the candle girl met, the picture in front of Walter suddenly changed.
He felt as if he was being dragged into a lake of corpse water by an invisible force.
There were human heads floating in the lake, and the heads that were close to him were like piranhas attracted by the smell of blood, gnawing at his body crazily.
Walter was horrified to find that while his body was being eaten, it regenerated at an alarming rate.
However, this rebirth is not relief, but an endless torture.
Because every time his body grows back, those heads will pounce on him like hungry wolves and continue to eat his new body.
This horrific cycle seemed to be endless, and every minute of pain seemed to be stretched out infinitely.
Ten minutes, ten days, ten years... time loses its meaning here, leaving only endless pain and despair.
Every time he was reborn and eaten, Walter felt unprecedented pain and torture.
His soul seemed to be torn apart, and his will was crumbling in endless pain.
Finally, the brightness returned to Walter's eyes.
Although consciousness had returned, the pain that penetrated into his bone marrow still lingered on his body like a lingering shadow.
Due to the severe pain in the illusion, his body cracked like fragile ceramics, and blood slowly seeped out from these small cracks, dyeing his clothes a shocking bright red.
When the severe pain gradually subsided, Walter took a deep breath.
He knew that although everything he had just experienced was an illusion, the almost real pain was enough to destroy a person's will.
If he had been trapped in it and unable to extricate himself, the continued torture would have likely led to his mental breakdown or even death.
The candle girl in front began to slowly approach him, and her head of black hair was like active tentacles, gradually stretching towards Walter.
Walter's heart trembled, and he realized that he almost died just by looking at the candle girl. If he was touched by her hair, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I brought something good this time." Walter calmed down and carefully negotiated with the candle girl in front of him.
After hearing Walter's words, the originally violent movements of the candle girl gradually calmed down.
She seemed to be attracted by Walter's words, hesitated for a moment, and finally retracted the long black hair that was about to touch Walter.
Walter was immediately relieved, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
Every negotiation with the candle girl is like a brush with death. The other party is more difficult and dangerous than imagined.
Although there have been many transactions in the past, Walter feels like he is brushing against death every time he faces the Candle Girl.
"Do you need the caster's soul?" Walter asked tentatively again, trying to figure out the candle girl's preferences.
After hearing "The Soul of the Spellcaster", the Zhu Nu's face softened significantly.
She nodded slightly, expressing great interest in the proposal.
For the candle girl, the soul of the caster contains powerful soul power and unique elemental atmosphere, and is a precious material for making high-quality candles.
And an aging elf like Walter no longer has much value to her.
Even if Watt is made into a candle, the burning time of the candle will be greatly reduced due to the aging of his soul and the weakening of energy.
"Give me your coordinates and a soul candle. I know you are in the void now." Walter took the opportunity to make his request.
Hearing this, the candle girl hesitated slightly, but finally complied with Walter's request.
A piece of soft black hair and a candle as white as jade appeared in Walter's hand.
The black hair contains the coordinate information of the Candle Girl. As long as he leaves this consciousness space, Walter can find the specific location of the Candle Girl through this black hair.
And that white fire candle is the soul candle that Walter urgently needs.
This is the unique secret treasure of the Candle Girl, which can extend the life of the soul and maintain the vitality and purity of the soul.
The value of such a small soul candle is comparable to that of a resource-rich life planet.
After getting what he needed, Walter didn't dare to stay for a moment. He knew the danger of this conscious space and must leave as soon as possible.
Just when he was about to step out of the edge of this illusory world, Walter suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis behind him.
The candle girl seemed to be on the verge of losing control again. Her black hair was dancing wildly in the air like crazy tentacles, and she might attack Walter at any time.
Walter's heart tightened, but fortunately he had gotten what he needed. The most important thing at the moment was to escape from this dangerous place.
With a thought, Walter instantly left the candle girl's consciousness space and returned to the real world.
Everyone at the VIP table was keenly aware of the change in Walter's aura. They looked a lot sluggish and pale. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot of trauma in the experience just now.
"Here you are holding this thing. It contains the coordinates of the Candle Girl, which is enough for Sefilia to drink a pot." Walter wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
In fact, this time Walt was just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. Finally, he had a legitimate opportunity to trick the Arcane Eternal Star, and of course Walt would not let it go.
This time he used the caster's soul to get a soul candle from the candle girl's hand, which can be said to have made a lot of money.
Habakak Carey took the black hair from Walter's hand and immediately felt the unique aura of the Candle Girl contained in it.
"Well, it seems that our mage sage Sefilia is going to be unlucky again."
Habakak Kaili shook his head, skillfully marked the candle girl's coordinates on the mark with mana, and then crushed the mark.
Almost at the same moment, Sefilia, who was far away in the Arcane Eternal Star, felt the strange movement of the mark.
She quickly took out the mark and checked it, and saw a series of coordinates on it.
"Tsk, do you think I can't find you if I change the place?" Sefilia's eyes flashed with unwillingness and madness.
The experience of the Void Arena was like a lingering nightmare to her. Not only was she disgraced in that competition, but she also got into a lot of unnecessary trouble, which filled her with resentment and unwillingness.
Sefilia blamed Lin Yi and Su Xiao for all her misfortunes, and her resentment towards them had reached its peak.
She stared closely at the coordinates in her hand and quickly locked the corresponding position in the vast void.
She discovered that this location was actually not far from the Void Arena, only one star sector away, and it was located in a corner that was so remote that it was almost forgotten.
This undoubtedly facilitated her next actions, and Sefilia couldn't help but raise a cruel smile.
She decided that this time she must make Lin Yi and Su Xiao pay the price they deserve.
"Hudgens, Mary."
Hearing Sefilia's voice, two ninth-level spellcasters walked into Sefilia's room.
They are die-hard loyalists of the Austrian Law Faction and are loyal to the Austrian Law Faction.
No matter when and where, as long as Sefilia gives an order, the two of them will carry out the order unconditionally.
"The two of you will lead twelve eighth-level spellcasters to this coordinate and eliminate everyone there." Sefilia's tone revealed ruthlessness and determination, "Remember, the action must be secretive and must not let anyone Your ways are known."
She handed the coordinates sent by Habakak Carey to the two of them.
Huggins and Mary took the coordinates without asking any more questions. They just needed to know that Sefilia's enemies were there.
For them, executing Sephilia's orders is the highest criterion. No matter what kind of enemy they face, they will destroy them without mercy.
In this way, Huggins and Mary led twelve eighth-level spellcasters through the ultra-long-distance teleportation array on the neighboring planet and quietly left the sphere of influence of the Arcane Eternal Star.
Sephilia may have thought that her plan was so seamless that no one knew about it, but in fact, her every move could not escape the close surveillance of the elemental factions.
On the Arcane Eternal Star, the battle between the Elemental Faction and the Arcane Faction has long been an undercurrent, and both sides are paying close attention to each other's movements.
The moment Huggins and Mary left through the teleportation array, Howling King in the Void Arena had already received the latest information.
Facing the inquiries from his subordinates, King Howling Wind just said calmly: "Just wait and see what happens."
Soon, the action team sent by Sefilia had arrived at the location indicated by the coordinates.
The planet pointed by the coordinates once belonged to the demon race. It was once prosperous and full of life and vitality.
However, the forces on the planet later rebelled and chose to submit to the Yu Clan.
This act of betrayal completely angered the demon clan, and they quickly sent out their troops to bloodbath the planet.
This cruel punishment is not only a sanction for the betrayer, but also a severe warning to other members who may have different aspirations.
Today, this planet is deserted, with very few living creatures.
Except for the occasional scavenger and interstellar pirate, almost no one else sets foot here.
Huggins quickly glanced at the coordinates in his hand and determined that the target location was in the north of the planet.
Without any unnecessary communication, the team he led immediately took action and sped rapidly towards the North Pole.
In just ten minutes, they arrived near the North Pole.
In this desolate land, they began to carefully search for possible hidden space tunnels.
During the search, an indescribable pressure suddenly enveloped them, as if there was some kind of frightening presence around them.
A spellcaster inadvertently looked up, and was shocked to see several slender black hairs falling from the sky. The black hair seemed to be falling from the endless sky, with an indescribable weirdness and terror.
The fear in his heart surged like a tide, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
He raised his head tremblingly and saw a pale-faced woman floating above his head.
Her black hair falling like a waterfall and her gorgeous white dress with bloodshot eyes formed a strange and creepy picture against the desolate Arctic background.
The caster instantly recognized her identity from her distinctive features, and blurted out in horror: "Candle... Candle Girl!"
The other spellcasters looked up one after another, and when they saw the woman with a pale face and black hair hanging down, indescribable fear surged in their hearts.
The appearance of the candle girl made them instantly realize that the danger of this mission was far greater than expected.
As the leader of the team, Huggins showed his decisiveness at this moment.
He quickly gave instructions for Mary to lead the caster team to evacuate immediately, while he stayed behind to buy time for his teammates to retreat.
Mary didn't hesitate at all, she immediately led the team to escape far away.
She knew that facing a being like Zhu Nu, any resistance would be in vain. Only by escaping as soon as possible could she have a chance of survival.
But plans never keep up with changes.
Huggins originally thought that he could stand in front of the Candle Girl for a while and buy precious time for Mary and others to escape.
But the reality was much crueler. In the blink of an eye, he found himself trapped in a huge lake.
In the lake, Huggins felt that all the strength in his body was gradually being taken away, and there were countless heads tearing his body apart around him.
He struggled desperately, trying to escape from this strange lake, but he lost his strength and was unable to break free.
His shouts echoed in the lake, but he received no response.
In the end, Huggins' body was completely eaten away by the heads, and the lake returned to calm again.
In reality, Hudgens' body suddenly fell straight to the ground, like a sculpture that had lost its support.
The candle girl floated over. She looked down at Huggins who fell on the ground, with a satisfied smile on her face.
For her, the body and soul filled with elemental power are the ultimate delicacies, which can be used to make unique candles.
She waved her hand gently, and Huggins' body was put away by the candle girl.
Candles made from the caster's body not only contain powerful elemental power, but also have a unique soul charm.
This is also the reason why the candle girl uses the soul candle to trade with Walter.
On the other side, Mary suddenly felt that Huggins' aura had completely dissipated, and an indescribable grief and fear surged in her heart.
She has fought side by side with Huggins for many years, and she knows that the opponent's strength is considered to be the best among ninth-level spell casters. Even if they face an extremely powerful person, they are confident that they can barely survive two attacks.
Now Huggins fell within a single encounter, which made her feel unbelievable, and at the same time she realized how powerful and terrifying the enemy she faced was.
But Mary had no time to wallow in mourning or panic, for danger was quickly approaching.
The next second, her flying figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, and an invisible force restrained her, preventing her from moving.
Looking up, the figure of the candle girl had appeared in front of them at some point. Her pale face and waterfall of black hair were fluttering in the wind, like the incarnation of the god of death, with an indescribable weirdness. with terror.
Behind Mary, the twelve eighth-level spellcasters also felt unprecedented fear at this moment.
They originally just accepted a seemingly simple mission and followed Mary and Huggins here, but they did not expect to encounter such a terrifying existence as the Candle Girl.
Facing such a powerful enemy, they felt like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to fight back.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with fear and regret.
If they had known they would face such an enemy, they would have chosen not to come.
The Candle Girl did not give Mary and the spellcasters a chance to breathe.
The moment Mary was stunned, several black hairs quickly penetrated the bodies of the thirteen spellcasters in front of her like fine needle threads.
Twelve eighth-level spellcasters had no time to make any resistance before they were forcibly dragged into the deep and strange consciousness space of the candle girl.
Even though Mary was stronger, she only struggled briefly, then glanced at the candle girl feebly, and then sank into the illusory lake.
Her experience was exactly the same as that of Huggins before.
In this strange lake, there are countless people swarming around. They are biting the bodies of the spellcasters crazily, as if they want to devour them whole.
The souls of the casters quickly dissipated under the tearing of these terrifying heads, and the fire of life was extinguished in an instant.
The candle girl collected these corpses with satisfaction.
She plans to use the bodies of these spellcasters to make a set of elemental candles for herself to enjoy after she returns.
For the candle girl, this is a way to improve.
