745 Gifts and Provocation Part 1 (1/2)
”Sister Sika, I think Master will ask me to protect you and your child most of the time. I have some abilities that I have to let you know about first. If you are not afraid of the dark, please allow me to bring you to a place…”
”So secretive. Where is it?”
”Sister Sika, you will know if you come with me.” Nailisi stretched out her hand and Sika took it. All of a sudden, a black-colored page from a book appeared in her hand. The page was torn and tattered. Less than half of the book cover remained. The other pages were the same, it was as if a complete book had been torn up until only one page was left.
The space in the room shook slightly. The black-colored book page disappeared along with Sika and Nailisi.
It was the twelve Notes of Purgatory; the Purgatory of Darkness!
Sika fell into darkness and landed on a surface that was hard and cold. Her left hand was still being held by Nailisi. There was almost no warmth to be felt in Nailisi's hand either.
”Sister Sika, I have completed the repair of the Purgatory of Darkness. For a period of time every year, I will be able to repair one of the Purgatories. Once I have repaired all twelve Purgatories, this will become a godly item instead of holy equipment.”
”That will take too much out of you!” Sika had gradually adapted to the darkness. She realized that she could not even see a hundred yards away, much less a mile. Nailisi was standing beside her and she could see very clearly. She had already changed into a suit of devil's armor.
”Sister Sika, please summon your mount. I know that you don't like demons, but I have a skill that suits this place very well. This will be the place where I will fight in the future and also protect your child.”
”The Eye of a Demon? I will not learn it!” Sika shouted.
”How can it be the Eye of a Demon? Sister Sika, this is just a way to refine an equipment. By killing hundreds of demons, you will be able to refine this equipment that will allow you to move freely in the dark like me.”
”I need to kill demons? You…”
”Sister Sika, I am a Luoluokaluo. All demons are my food!” Nailisi said excitedly. An extra eye had already grown out and was suspended on top of her head. This eye was exquisite and clear. It was six-sided and was shaped like a standard magic nucleus that had been elongated. It was upright and was emitting a faint glow.
Sika did not sense any evil aura in the eye. Nailisi said to Sika, ”Sister Sika, this is the Eye of Purgatory that I have refined here. Once I have repaired the twelve Notes of Purgatory, the Eye of Purgatory will also be fully grown. I will be able to see every place in the twelfth Purgatory in one glance. If I fight here, the enemy will have nowhere to hide. I hope that you will also refine one.”
”Nailisi, don't try to manipulate me.” Sika slapped Nailisi's hand away and said, ”I will be able to break open a broken space like this in a few years' time. Why would you want me to refine something like this?”
Nailisi's face was sad as she spoke, ”Sister Sika, don't you still need to wait a few more years? Every time a purgatory of the twelve Notes of Purgatory has been repaired, its powers will double. You will not be able to break it open by then. If you refine the Eye of Purgatory, you will be able to come and go at any time. I would never dare to lie to you or Master would kill me!”
”Something like this can't be refined just by killing demons, right?” Sika started to feel that she might have misunderstood Nailisi after all. Nevertheless, she said, ”I don't have money.”
Nailisi answered with pain in her voice, ”I do. I will pay for everything.”
Sika was satisfied with Nailisi's answer. Refining equipment like that would definitely require other special materials. In order to please Sika, Nailisi must do her best.
Sika had no clue what Nailisi was actually planning. The Eye of Purgatory was not an ordinary equipment. It was an ability that would become a part of you once it had been completely refined. If Sika refined it now, her child would also possess this ability once it was born. It would save Nailisi a lot of trouble and worry when it came to protecting the child. She did not bring this up because she was afraid that Sika would resist the idea. Sika's child would definitely become a Caucasus priest of the next generation and could even very well become a Nature Priest.
The Eye of Purgatory was not evil by nature, but it was still created from killing many demons. The Caucasus people would not like it, so Nailisi had no choice but to hide it from Sika.
Nailisi was left with little choice but to do that. Saleen's enemies were getting stronger, so strong that she felt powerless even with the Demon Army. Saleen's child must be well-protected. She could not possibly bring up the child there the moment it was born. She might as well ensure that the child possessed the power of the Eye of Purgatory when it was still in Sika's womb.
By the time the twelve Notes of Purgatory had been repaired, it would be so tough and solid that it would be no different from a godly item. In times of danger, Saleen's child would be sent there. She would flee if she realized that she could not defeat her enemy. She did not care for Kingdoms and Empires. She would flee to the demon dimension and not care about the Myers Mainland if need be.
Nailisi's attitude was due to Saleen's influence. She was just a demon, why would she care about humans' honor?
Nailisi took out the materials that she had prepared beforehand and handed them to Sika, before teaching her how to refine an Eye of Purgatory. Fortunately, Sika was someone that was a little trusting. A different person might already have become suspicious.
Sitting on the cold ground, Nailisi looked at Sika experimenting with her materials clumsily and thought to herself, ”Master, although I secretly used up your divine crystal to repair this equipment, I have also given Sister Sika so many things. Surely you will not be angry, right?”
