PDLP Chapter 153 Memories in Amber
Chapter 153 Memories in Amber
They were waiting in an open space not far from the conference hall. Li Qing was talking to Finnian, while on the other side, Sylph was walking to the side with her arms folded and no expression on her face. Lu Xi, who had just passed by Xi Sui'an, hesitated for a moment, then turned and followed Sylph.
Xi Sui'an sat on a small stone pier, supporting his chin with his left hand while watching the scene, and tilted his head slightly: "Chao Xi, what do you think?"
The hair on her shoulders moved, and she said in a lazy voice as if she had just woken up: "No. You have your own ideas, and you're still asking me?"
Xi Sui'an tossed the tree man amber that she had been given before in her right hand, and said thoughtfully: "It's just an unfounded guess. There are so many alchemists, it's impossible that every one of them is from the Rosicrucian Society." After all, her soul detection did not find anything abnormal in the other party.
"However, assuming she is from the Rosicrucian Society, wouldn't it be a bit abrupt for her to approach us in this way? After all, the trade fair is also open to them. Wouldn't it be more natural for her to contact us at that time?" she mused.
Tide said lazily, "Don't use your human brain to think about the way aliens act." It said meaningfully, "It doesn't matter how you appear, and it doesn't matter if you arouse our suspicion, as long as you achieve your goal."
What is the goal... She paused slightly. Should she go with them?
She unconsciously stroked the tree man Amber. What's the big deal if they were just colleagues? To do anything to them under the noses of the two big guys Feng Liting and Yi Luowen would be tantamount to seeking death.
"It's time to eat and time to sleep. The results will be clear when the time comes." Chao Xi said lazily.
Xi Sui'an chuckled softly and said, "What you said is quite good. Let's wait and see."
She changed her posture, propped her left hand on the stone pier, leaned back slightly, and put the tree man amber, which was as transparent as yellow crystal, in front of her eyes with her right hand to examine it. She asked with interest, "How do I look at this?"
Tide showed little interest: "Just probe it with your mental power, just like you did with the strange crystal."
Xi Sui'an closed her eyes, placed the tree man amber against her forehead, and penetrated it with her concentrated spiritual power. In her perception, the amber seemed to be broken by her all of a sudden, and then countless fragments, carrying her consciousness, fell lightly into a memory -
"Pfft" sound.
The dark red blood splattered instantly, leaving Xi Sui'an, who had just focused his sight, with only a sea of blood to see!
Xi Sui'an's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked up suddenly, unexpectedly looking straight into a pair of huge eyes that were dripping with blood!
The eyes were filled with black and red bloodshot, which were like spider webs. She felt as if she was the prey trapped in the black and red spider web, waiting to be devoured.
"...You win." The owner of the giant eye said hoarsely.
The air was filled with silence and Xi Sui'an did not hear any answer.
After a long while, the owner of the giant eye said intermittently: "When the outcome is still undecided... don't trust... any god."
The other party remained silent.
“…God…ha…” The owner of the huge eyes laughed briefly, and then stopped breathing.
A strong light burst out from those unfocused eyes, forcing Xi Sui'an to close his eyes. This brief memory ended abruptly here.
She suddenly opened her eyes, gasped violently, and looked horrified.
"What's wrong with you?" Chao Xi was a little surprised. How could a tree man Amber scare her?
"I, I'm fine." Xi Sui'an shook his head and quickly adjusted his breathing to calm his mind.
She pinched the tree man amber and found that it had turned into a very ordinary piece of amber, without a trace of brilliance, as ordinary as an inconspicuous pebble on the roadside.
I tried to enter the memory again and found that the memory in the amber had completely dissipated.
"What did you see?" The system that was floating in the sea of souls saw her appearance at the moment and asked with rare curiosity.
Xi Suian paused. Didn’t the system see it?
How come the system didn’t see it?
The Treeman Amber affected her, but the system in the Sea of Souls did not see it. Was it because of the special feature of this Treeman Amber, or was her bond with the system not as deep as she thought?
"Don't you see?" she whispered.
"I didn't see it." The system didn't pay much attention to her tone and asked curiously, "I'm not omniscient. Tell me, what did you see?"
Xi Sui'an held the tree man amber in his hand and said calmly, "Nothing, I just saw a spider web. I felt like I was the prey of that spider web and was almost eaten. I was scared."
The system tilted its golden head, and immediately lost interest after hearing this. It said in a flat tone: "Okay, I knew that there would be no meaningful memories in this tree man's amber."
Xi Sui'an smiled, then lowered his eyes and stared at the tree man Amber with a deep look in his eyes.
"Don't trust any god until victory or defeat is decided."
The owner of the giant eye reminded her of the ancient giants who had long disappeared in the long river of history, as well as the gods in Asgard who inherited from the ancient giants.
The outcome is still undecided, which should refer to the war of gods that was going on at that time. Is this memory the fighting scene between the tree people and the Asgardian gods in the war of gods?
Xi Sui'an looked at Amber and fell into deep thought. Why would the master of the giant eye remind the enemy not to believe in any god? This statement simply denied all gods without distinguishing between friend and foe.
The owner of the giant eye seems to have a complicated view of the gods, and the protagonist she is viewing has not spoken a word and seems to have complicated emotions as well...
"Wow, are you looking at amber? What do you see?" Alonso, the tree man with green leaves on his head, suddenly appeared in front of her, looking happy and curious.
His thoughts were interrupted. Xi Sui'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Alonso, who was still childish, and said, "I saw a spider web."
Alonso glanced at the amber and was not surprised: "As expected, there is nothing interesting in the low-grade treeman amber."
Xi Sui'an, who was holding the tree man amber, paused after hearing this and said slowly, "Low grade?"
"Yes," Alonso took out two yellow ambers of similar shape and knocked them. "The color of the treeman amber can show the strength of the treeman it belongs to, because they are part of the treeman. Treeman amber of level one to three is yellow, treeman amber of level four to six is orange, and treeman amber of level seven to nine is brown. Legend has it that there is green amber, but I have never seen it. This is probably a rumor."
Alonso showed her the amber in his hand. "Look, this is my condensed memory amber. It contains the moon of the Lost Sea that I like very much. It is definitely a top-quality product among the low-grade ones. Hehe, does it look good?"
Xi Sui'an carefully looked at the amber that shone brightly and was as translucent as transparent crystal. After a long while, he slowly clenched his palm and said softly, "...It looks good."
Does the rank of the treeman determine the color of amber?
The one in her hand was yellow. So, how could a low-level tree man kill a high-level giant? !
Or is it that the owner of this amber is not a treeman at all? ?
Xi Sui'an was silent for a while, then he said to Alonso, "Are you interested in making a deal with me?"
The tree boy pinched the amber and blinked: "...Ah?"
"I want to buy tree man amber, as much as I can get." Xi Sui'an said seriously.
"……what?!"
Alonso originally just wanted to get in touch with someone to find out more about Damocles Academy, but he was caught off guard by a huge pie and was left speechless and bewildered.
"Ah!!" Li Qing, who was walking over to try to get close to Alonso, changed her expression when she heard this. She immediately looked at Xi Sui'an, suspecting that she had heard it wrongly. "What did you say?!"
How many to buy?
Who gave her the courage to say such arrogant words? !
Xi Sui'an stood up and nodded to Li Qing: "You are here, just in time. I asked you to reimburse me for the materials before. As for the tree man Amber, I'll trouble you."
"..."
Oh, he gave me the courage, right?
Li gently pressed her chest and said in a faint voice, "Are you sure?" It felt a little painful to breathe.
"My share, all of it." Xi Sui'an said seriously.
Li Qing looked at Xi Sui'an scrutinizingly, and Xi Sui'an looked back calmly despite the look that seemed to want to stab her.
After a moment, he turned to Alonso and gave him a perfect business smile, and said gently, "Alonso, right? We want to buy a lot of tree man amber."
Alonso blinked and said, “Then… Then I’ll take you to find Grandpa Lorcan and Cainte.”
