Chapter 549: The Breakthrough
Chapter 549: The Breakthrough
"Me? Help? Of course, no problem!"
"My brave hero, I am willing to do anything for you, even if it means venturing into the Sea of Silence or the Chaotic Void."
Xylud felt incredibly happy.
To witness a true hero who had overcome destiny was a blessing.
Even if she, as the antagonist, were to face any extreme punishment from the hero, she would gladly accept such an outcome.
Then, the girl felt herself being picked up by Lindsey.
Her essence memory had not yet recovered, and her frail body could not move without the support of a wheelchair, so Lindsey carried her.
Xylud gazed at Lindsey with a mesmerizing look:
"What do you want me to do?"
"..."
Lindsey chose to ignore the girl.
He remained silent as he carried Xylud to the Village Square and placed her on a wooden platform:
"It's not something dangerous."
"Here, sit here. Yes, right here, don't move."
Under the fascinated gaze of the writer girl, Lindsey activated the transformation function of the Village Square.
Immediately, a faint essence began to flow in the center of the Village Square.
It gradually converged, with the core being Xylud, who was seated there.
Lindsey asked, "How does it feel?"
As a seventh-stage Awakened, Xylud was keenly aware of such changes:
"Of course. A special essence is guiding me... Hmm, it's giving me knowledge and skills, like the ability to plant and some basic construction knowledge."
"Interesting! This infusion is very gentle and not forced."
"If it could be used to teach people painting and singing, it might become an excellent learning tool for artistic enlightenment!"
Lindsey ignored Xylud's musings and continued to press,
"Aside from the increase in knowledge and skills, are there any other effects?"
"Like loss of control over one's personality or body, or a will that is loyal to me?"
Upon hearing this question, Xylud's expression changed instantly.
The girl's wine-red pupils gazed at Lindsey with an incredibly passionate look:
"I swear, Lindsey! No one in this world loves you more than I do!"
"..."
Lindsey was speechless, even questioning if it was a serious mistake to use this person as a test subject.
He immediately asked,
"Putting aside your original feelings, are there any such effects?"
"I love you no matter what your attitude is!" Xylud first expressed her fervor for Lindsey, then continued, "I think I understand your concerns. This infusion is not like becoming your employee, where you lose your self. You can use it boldly to help those you want to help."
As Lindsey and Xylud conversed, Hammer and Vivian, who had finished logging, also returned.
Vivian looked at Xylud curiously:
"Mr. Lindsey, who is this sister...?"
Before Vivian could finish her question, Xylud immediately declared her position:
"I am Lindsey's slave!"
"I am his most loyal hound in hunting, a tireless sailor on voyages, and the attendant who grooms his horse before battles! From distant cliffs to the vast North Sea, this devotion remains unwavering!"
Xylud's mouth poured out a string of adjectives, leaving everyone present speechless.
Needless to say, Iron Jade, the most honest and simple-minded, was in awe.
Even Vivian and Hammer, with their sharp minds, struggled to process Xylud's chaotic string of adjectives.
During this, Xylud's eyes shifted.
She had just arrived in this world, but she quickly discerned Lin Sai's status here from the surrounding atmosphere.
The writer had another idea, and she raised her voice, exclaiming, "By the way, I'm also a Seventh Stage Awakened!"
"After being defeated by Lin Sai, she willingly became his slave."
"..."
Xilude's words had barely landed.
Hammer was so startled that he stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground.
Iron Jade and Vivian were at a loss, standing there in a daze without any reaction.
Even during the prosperous times of several decades ago, Seventh Stage Awakened individuals were rarely seen in the Moon Crying Ridge world.
And now, this has become something that can only be heard in legends.
In the entire world, the only person who might be involved in this field is the lord of the Green Marsh.
But now?
Hearing Xilude's strength and the fact that she was defeated by Lin Sai and eventually became his slave, an indescribable impact washes over the people.
It's as if a high and mighty deity has been pulled down to the mortal realm, even trampled underfoot!
Lin Sai was speechless at this sight and reminded his companions, "It's okay, you don't have to be so afraid."
"And this person isn't a good person either. What she says is hard to distinguish between truth and lies, so it's best not to believe her!"
Hammer got up from the ground and cautiously asked, "Then... Lord Lin Sai, what about this lady's abilities?"
Lin Sai didn't intend to deceive them:
"She is indeed a Seventh Stage Awakened, but she no longer possesses the corresponding abilities."
Xilude immediately chimed in:
"Isn't that because she directly confronted your fate and ended up in this state?"
"..."
The conversation among the few didn't intentionally lower their voices.
The villagers around them, upon hearing such news, also began to look lost and confused.
When something so vast, even beyond their comprehension, suddenly appears before them, people can't even feel fear right away; they just stand there dumbfounded.
They looked at Xilude, sitting on the square with a mocking smile, and Lin Sai standing beside her.
They felt like they had witnessed something extraordinary.
But with their shallow understanding, they couldn't describe the surging emotions within them at that moment.
Just then, Xilude spoke again: "However, it seems that because of this knowledge transfer, I've regained a bit of my essence manipulation ability."
The girl didn't hide her thoughts from Lin Sai.
She held her palm in front of her, and powerful emotions mixed with a faint essence flowed through her fingertips.
Expecting the Village Square to fully restore the abilities of a Seventh Stage Awakened was naturally impossible.
The power Xilude now possessed was even slightly inferior to that of a First Stage Awakened.
But as a former powerhouse, this small change allowed the writer to regain some of her former perception.
She slowly raised her head and looked towards the west, then suddenly spoke to Lin Sai, "Hero, the threads of fate are intertwining and converging."
Lin Sai had no good attitude towards this person:
"Can you speak in a more understandable way?"
Xilude was also particular about Lin Sai's poor attitude. She smiled slightly and immediately complied, changing her phrasing:
"In simpler terms, someone is approaching this place."
"My current perception can't fully discern their appearance, but based on experience, it seems they bear hostility."
