Bella ignored the other party's protest. Instead, she felt the softness of Xilin's hand on her lips and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Finally, after a long while, Xilin's red face slowly calmed down.
She made up her mind, looked at Bella, and held out her hand.
"So, Bella, will you be my partner?"
Bella's expression also became serious. She solemnly held Xilin's hand and knelt on one knee.
"Then my queen, Lady Xilin, I will swear to be loyal to you forever."
-------------------
One day had passed since Bella pledged allegiance to Xilin. The two of them quickly became familiar with each other, and Bella also knew about the spiritual crystal in Xilin's body.
The soul crystal that Tohmiya Mio buried in Xilin's body has always been a scourge. Xilin even tried to wither all the cells in his body and reside his consciousness in the Herrscher core, but he still failed to take out the soul crystal.
For some unknown reason, the spiritual crystal seemed to be completely bound to Xilin's body and could not be removed no matter what.
Because of this, Xilin embarked on the path of separating soul crystals. At this moment, she was at the door of the DEM headquarters.
Looking at the building in front of her that was no different from other human houses, Bella couldn't help but speak.
"My Queen, is there really a power here that can free you from the spirit crystal?"
As the gray-haired girl spoke, her hand quietly moved and slowly held Xilin's hand, even though her face was already flushed.
Without dodging the other person's hand, Xilin turned his head to look at Bella and answered her.
"I don't know either, but after all, he is one of the only four pure-blooded magicians in the world who can create spirits. I believe he must have done a lot of research on spirit crystals."
After saying that, Xilin took Bella's hand and walked directly into the gate of Dem Society's headquarters.
As Xilin has a more thorough understanding of the knowledge given by God, she has been able to better develop her abilities.
The Death Core is activated, and power emanates from its body, manipulating everything around it.
A researcher walked straight past, and his eyes just caught the figures of Xilin and Bella. The signal just entered the afferent nerve when it happened to encounter cell apoptosis.
Signals are transmitted, cells undergo apoptosis, signals are interrupted, and cells divide and heal.
The complete set of procedures made the researcher in front of them turn a blind eye to the two people passing by. Because of this, Xilin and Bella smoothly bypassed the defense of the entire building and came directly to the top floor of the building, next to Westcott.
Westcott is slacking off at the moment.
"Isaac, you should deal with the documents," Alan reminded.
"No, these documents are left to you." Fanqu's voice remained the same as usual.
At this moment, two unexpected figures walked in...
Chapter 14 After getting the method
Looking at the two people coming in, Westcott showed a surprised expression, but without any fear.
Alan was not wearing his manifestation device at this time, and the opponent was able to easily pass through the DEM Society's defense line and come in front of him. He must have the ability to kill him easily.
Quickly adjusting his expression, the gray-blond man clapped his hands and looked at the two uninvited guests.
"Well, my two guests, what do you want to do for me?"
Xilin stopped walking and folded his arms across his chest.
"Human, let me introduce myself. My name is Xilin, and the one next to me is Bella. I came to you today because I want to ask you a question."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
Hearing this, Westcott became even more interested, and his rusty eyes were filled with unfathomable meaning.
Is there a problem that such a powerful being cannot solve?
"How do I remove the spirit crystals from my body? As the creator of the spirits, you must have done some research on this."
Xilin looked at the other party, hoping to get an answer from him.
If the other party has no way to take out the spirit crystal, then she can only live in fear every day until she is strong enough to change the laws of the neighboring world, so that she will not be afraid of being suddenly dragged to the neighboring world by Tohmiya Mio.
Westcott supported his head with both hands, thought carefully for a while, shook his head and sighed.
"I'm sorry, sir. I can't solve it with my current level. With the technique I have restored, I can only absorb the spirit crystal of the spirit."
"If possible, I can absorb your Reversal Spirit Crystal first, which can also reduce some hidden dangers..."
At present, Westcott only wants to absorb the spiritual crystal of Somiya Mio. But if someone else offers it to him voluntarily, he will gladly accept it. After all, who would think that the power to avenge humans is too little?
"Reversal? Impossible! I will never allow Her Majesty the Queen to eliminate part of the power of the Spirit Crystal in this way!"
After a day of communication, Bella, who understood the pain of the elf's reversal, couldn't help but step forward and refute.
"Okay, Westcott, you've heard it, I don't need this method that only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Do you have any other ideas?"
Pulling Bella behind him again, Xilin said impatiently.
"Are there any solutions? It's not that there aren't any, but I don't have them. However..."
Westcott hesitated to speak, looking at Xilin with a longing expression, but didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Bella next to him couldn't help it anymore. She forcibly broke free from Xilin's hand, walked in front, and opened her arms to protect him.
"The Queen is mine, what do you want to do!!!"
Xilin patted his forehead, speechless.
"I agree to your request. Human, these are some solid fragments of the energy I use - the Honkai Crystals. If you can study some power from them, I will allow you to use them."
Xilin condensed some Honkai fragments and handed them to Westcott.
Having gotten what he wanted, Westcott felt relieved.
"So this is called collapse? It would be great if I could get these."
Bella reacted all of a sudden, her face flushed, she covered her face with her hands and squatted on the ground.
"This... Queen... I..."
Westcott looked at everything in front of him with a smile, stood up, walked to the safe in the corner, raised his right hand, and spread his five fingers into a claw shape.
The white light of the elf spell appeared from his fingertips and manifested in the air. As the disc-shaped spell kept turning, the sound of gears turning came from the safe.
There was a click and the safe slowly opened.
Westcott reached in and pulled out a book made of unknown material.
After handing it to Xilin, he sat back in his office chair.
"This book is at least a thousand years old. It contains an unknown spell that has not been eroded by time. I also learned how to create elves from it."
Westcott slowly injected magic power, and the densely packed spells on the book flashed with colorful light.
"I got it from a relic. That relic seemed to value talent and inheritance. With my qualifications, I could only get it. If it were you, maybe you could destroy that relic violently! Maybe the method to take out the spirit crystal is there."
While drinking tea in the office, Westcott said without hesitation words that would make the magicians of a thousand years ago ashamed.
After hearing what Westcott said, Xilin agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, so how can I find the relic?"
Xilin did not leave hastily, but carefully asked the other party how to enter the ruins. This world has been persecuting pure-blooded magicians since the modern era. If this ruins is really so easy to find, it must have been razed to the ground long ago.
Westcott had anticipated this and pulled out a small manifestation device from his pocket.
"Even if you don't tell me, I will tell you. It seems that the owner of the ruins really hopes to find a suitable successor! There will be a tracking formula on each book that is taken out, which can directly track the location of the ruins. You only need to use this manifestation device to inject magic power into the book, and the book will guide you to where you want."
Xilin achieved his goal, looked at Bella who was still burying her face, and prepared to leave.
"Bella, we should go."
Bella stood up, lowered her head, said nothing, spread her purple wings, and prepared to set off.
Westcott took another sip of tea, looked at Xilin who was about to leave, and extended an invitation to him.
"How about joining our Dem Club? I see you don't seem to have any power in the human world, Queen."
Hearing Westcott calling her the same name as Bella, Xilin suddenly felt ashamed again.
but……
Join DEM? It seems that Takamiya Mio will join Ratatosk in the future, so she will definitely not be able to go there.
From this point of view, joining DEM seems to be a good choice.
"Okay! Then I'll join you. But why do you want me to join you?"
Xilin had already flown to the window, glanced at Westcott, and asked.
Westcott smiled.
"Of course your behavior makes me happy..."
Westcott said that he wanted to take revenge on humans and thought about the behavior of the Honkai beasts in the Great Sky Disaster Area.
Chapter 15 After the test begins
Xilin felt a little embarrassed when he heard what Westcott said.
Is there a possibility that my original intention was not to destroy humanity?
Xilin thought about what he had done recently, sanctioning human armies, destroying human cities, and expanding the source of Houkai soldiers...
It seems that every step she takes is a blow to human civilization.
Hmm... Am I really born to be a Herrscher?
Xilin was confused.
Bella, who was standing next to him, had just come to the window when she heard Westcott's words. Seeing her own queen in a daze, standing still at the window, Bella was immediately very angry at Westcott's words.
"Hmph, my queen! Those humans are not worthy of confusing you, you don't have to care about them."
Bella folded her arms across her chest and raised her head to the right and said.
"Yeah……"
After looking at his little Honkai beast, Xilin said nothing more and floated out of the window.
Seeing Xilin flying out, Bella didn't want to fall behind, so she quickly followed her queen.
"Then it's all about this book now."
Xilin attached the small display device to the magic book, and the electrical energy in the device was automatically converted into magic power, which was slowly injected into the magic book. The tracking spell on the book slowly lit up, and a traction force came faintly from the south, dragging the magic book in Xilin's hand.
Xilin frowned when he wanted to transfer through space but found that he couldn't locate it.
"Bella, maybe you need to transform into Honkai beast form. I don't know the coordinates this time, so I can't use space transfer. I may need you to give me a ride."
"I understand, my queen. It's my honor to be ridden by you!"
After hearing Xilin's words, Bella nodded excitedly as if she had received a great gift from heaven.
As the white light on her human form lit up, Bella's body continued to expand and grow until it turned into a dark blue dragon with white armor.
"My Queen, please get on top quickly. I have never been ridden by you before!"
Bella in dragon form seemed to have two vocal cords, and a double voice and an impatient tone came out of the dragon's mouth.
Hearing Bella's misleading words, Xilin didn't refute anything and just rode on her with a wooden face.
Holding Benares' neck, Xilin completely stabilized his body.
"Okay, Bella, go ahead!"
As Xilin let go, the magic book completely lost the power to prevent it from returning, and shot violently to the south, while Bella also flapped her dragon wings and bit it tightly from behind.
That’s right, this is the first level of the ruins assessment - speed.
As an ancient magician, you must have a certain speed to better ensure your survival rate. The weak can escape, the strong can chase. Only by having a fast speed can you gain recognition from the ruins and ensure that the inheritance you are about to obtain will not be lost.
As if it had detected Bella's approach, the magic book accelerated again, and circles of sonic boom clouds formed along its route.
At the same time, Bella also accelerated, the scene in front of her quickly retreated, and the sound of the strong wind that was originally heard disappeared. The fast-flowing air rubbed her shell and heated it up.
Seeing this, Xilin also began to secretly operate the Wind Core. The wind pressure that had been hindering Bella's progress suddenly dissipated, and the strong resistance no longer restrained Bella's body from moving forward.
