Chapter 964.2: Unreliable Ally
— Congratulations on winning the first round, " Lilim said. She was now seriously thinking that Su Xiao had inherited the will of the Shadows of Law, or that his personal aspirations and ideas were a bit extreme, but even so, she still congratulated Su Xiao wholeheartedly on winning the first match.
— What is the Black Abyss? I've heard a lot about her in the past. This is a very dangerous place in the void?
— Lilim hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head. — You don't have to know yet, well, I can't really tell you about her.
— Why? Su Xiao asked with embarrassment and looked at Lilim carefully.
— Uh, how do I put this to you?.. Lilim said, and considered. She didn't want to tell Su Xiao about this place, but she also wanted to give out a good explanation. — Although we've only known each other for a short time, I've discovered that you have a strong curiosity about unknown things?".. No, rather, you want to explore everything. If I tell you where the Black Abyss is, you'll probably find a way to reach it. With your current strength, you will be able to survive at the entrance at least a little, but if you go even a hundred meters into the Black Abyss, you will definitely die immediately, " Lilim said, looked around and, realizing that no one was looking at her, quietly unzipped her leather jacket and pointed to her own the navel.
A black snake tattoo ran from her navel all the way to her chest. If you looked closely at it, you could see that it was a tattoo that covered the scar.
— This was left to me after one visit to the Black Abyss, and then my father and brother were right next to me. Without my father and brother, I would have died for sure, " Lilim said as they looked around, and just when someone else wanted to look at her, she quickly buttoned up her leather jacket.
She was a succubus, but she was a very shy succubus.
— Let's not talk about the power of my father and brother. Even then, I was stronger than you. Don't look at me like that. I'm a high-level demon. I'm very strong. I can take you by the scruff of the neck and flog you right now, " Lilim said, puffing out her chest.
She was really "very strong».
— If you become stronger even by an order of magnitude, you can start exploring the Black Abyss alone. How would you describe this place?.. Different creatures get different benefits from exploring this dangerous place.
Su Xiao thought about it.
— I won't be staying here for long. I'll leave after the fights are over, " Su Xiao said as he took out an apple and took a bite with a crunch.
Sweet and sour juice filled his mouth. It was because of him that the apple was one of his favorite fruits..
— Really? Then you'll be gone in about 3-5 days. The rhythm of fighting in the arenas is very intense, and in the later stages it becomes even more intense. By the way, my father said something to me before I came here. He had fought alongside the Shadow of the Law once,and it had saved his life. My father always wanted to thank her, but he couldn't. That shadow was killed too quickly — we didn't have a chance to support it, but now you're here, so my father asked me to ask you what you want. Maybe some kind of ability? Or some valuable resource? Although it won't be enough to repay that shadow's kindness, you're not her.
Lilim's words stunned Su Xiao. He had always fought with everyone and had never received gifts from his allies before. This made him subconsciously wonder if there was some sort of conspiracy in all of this.
Come to think of it, demons were one of the major races in the void. If they had any ill intentions towards Su Xiao, they obviously wouldn't beat around the bush.
So now, Su Xiao seemed to be able to ask the Lilim for help, but it was actually more of a test.
If Su Xiao asks for a certain treasure, the demons will definitely find it and hand it over to him, however, in that case, the relationship between Su Xiao and the demons will gradually subside.
Yes, the shadows and the demons were allies, and the demons obviously wouldn't forget their promise, but they were allies with the Shadows of the Law, with an organization, with a certain group of people who were no longer alive, and each shadow had its own character and personality, so the demons wouldn't treat them like that. to all shadows equally well.
If they considered every shadow as a reliable ally, then they would be too stupid and pedantic.
Law shadows and demons were allies, not subordinates to each other. The allies only cooperated well with each other and did not have to fight for each other at all.
Su Xiao's response to Lilim's suggestion will decide whether they will cooperate with each other in the future.
— Help me improve my alchemy.
— Alchemy? What industry?
— Alchemical biological transformations.
Su Xiao made his choice.
— Do you want to ask for some treasure? We can get you anything.
— If I need a treasure, I'll just steal it.
— You'll steal - " Lilim was speechless. Shouldn't he have said "I'll buy it"? What the hell was that answer? The Shadows of Law were indeed a group of bandits...
— Uh-uh~… Lilim hesitated a bit, not because his request was too complicated, but because it was too simple.
— Forget it if you can't do it.
Upon hearing Su Xiao's words, Lilim's heart began to pound wildly. It was obvious to her that Su Xiao wasn't an extremely greedy guy, but she actually wished that he was. In conversation with him, she thought that he was peaceful, but in reality he was very dangerous.
— Sure... We can do it, but a lot will depend on your personal efforts. To become better at alchemy, you need to acquire and assimilate new knowledge. At best, I can create an environment for you where you can acquire this knowledge much faster.
— Okay, I'll do something for you later in return.
— Hey, I told you this is a one-sided thank you, we don't want anything in return.
— And you also said that I'm not that shadow, " Su Xiao replied and threw away the apple core.
There were no free lunches in the world. Even if they did exist, they were low-quality dinners. It was better not to eat it.
Lilim sighed to herself. This guy was more reliable than she thought, but she didn't need such an ally. She couldn't keep up with his thoughts. The word "steal" that came out of his mouth earlier made her very uneasy.
— Follow me." Enough time should pass before your next match. By the way, you won't be allowed to steal anything there!
— Do you think I'm some kind of bandit?
— All right.
— You seem to have misunderstood something about me.
— You just said yourself that if you need any treasure, then you will go and steal it.
— Wouldn't you steal treasures from your enemy?
Lilim was speechless and sighed.
