Chapter 855: Chapter 28 Dragon’s Blood_4
Xuan Yue, lost in thought, fell silent. Pu Lin, trembling, made his way to the center between Ah Dai and Xuan Yue. Although his stature was not short, he was now hunched over. Ah Dai quickly reached out to support Pu Lin’s arm and asked, "Prophet, are you alright?"
Pu Lin shook his head and said, "Listen to me, both of you. From now on, I will teach you the method to command the Tilu fighters. You must swear never to divulge it to anyone else."
Ah Dai, looking down, said, "Prophet Pu Lin, I, I do not wish to learn."
Pu Lin sighed and suddenly stretched out his withered right hand to touch Ah Dai’s chest. Although Ah Dai was startled, he did not resist, and the withered hand had already touched the leather bag containing the Sword of Hades. A cold Evil Power emanated from the hilt of the sword, and the atmosphere in the stone chamber suddenly grew colder, causing Xuan Yue to shiver involuntarily.
Pu Lin withdrew his hand, seemingly unaffected by the overwhelming Evil Power, "Child, all things in the world are not inherently good or evil; it all depends on how you use them. If used for good, they are good; if used for evil, they are evil. Just like the Tilu fighters and the evil artifact in your chest, they should not have existed in the first place. But now that they do exist, rather than letting them sit idle or be exploited by those with ill-intent, why not utilize them for good deeds? I am teaching you the command method for the Tilu fighters not to lead them into doing something, but hoping that if, in the future, any calamity befalls our Pu Yan Clan or a catastrophe on the continent requires our aid, you can use these heroes of the Pu Yan Clan to help you. As long as it’s in the name of justice, I believe these heroes would rest in peace with a smile."
Kindness shone in Pu Lin’s eyes as his gaze swept from Ah Dai to Xuan Yue. Both of them instantly felt as if a warm breeze had washed over them.
Ah Dai remained silent with his head lowered, and Xuan Yue, after pondering for a moment, said, "Since you put it that way, let us begin. I assure you, I will not use the Noble’s Tilu fighters unless absolutely necessary."
Relieved, Pu Lin said, "Good, understanding my intentions is all I could ask for. Let us begin now. Actually, the method of commanding the Tilu fighters is not difficult. Although they do not have souls, they are not averse to things familiar to them. Even though you are not members of the Pu Yan Clan, Xuan Yue has received my Magic Note, and Ah Dai has received the Dragon’s Blood. With these two items, learning the command method will be much easier for you." With that, Pu Lin explained in detail the method of commanding the Tilu fighters to Xuan Yue and Ah Dai.
An hour later, Pu Lin took a deep breath and said, "I have told you all that I can. Your current abilities are too weak to use this command method, especially Xuan Yue, with your Holy Physique, if you wish to use this method, you must have space-based magic as support. After all, the Tilu fighters are transformed through witchcraft and can also be called Dark Warriors. Whenever you get the chance, you must practice the Magic Note I have taught you, understand?"
Xuan Yue nodded. What Pu Lin had just taught them was essentially the witchcraft used to create Tilu fighters and the method to control that witchcraft, something Xuan Yue and Ah Dai had never encountered before and found difficult to accept for the moment. The power of witchcraft is very mysterious, and even the Prophet Pu Lin only knew this transformation witchcraft.
Pu Lin asked, "Where are you heading to after passing through the Pu Yan Clan Territory? Can you tell me?"
Xuan Yue glanced at Ah Dai and answered, "We are going to the Death Mountain Range to search for the Top-Grade Magic Crystal."
Pu Lin was stunned, "What? You’re going to the Death Mountain Range? That is one of the most dangerous places on the continent! You really are brave." Then, with a solemn expression, he drew a hexagram in the air and chanted a spell rapidly, taking as long as a meal to finally stop. Pu Lin looked visibly relieved and said, "I have calculated for you. Although you will face many dangers on this trip, you should be able to return safely—be very careful."
Ah Dai, who had a great deal of faith in Pu Lin, felt reassured by his words, and his last bit of worry vanished, "Does that mean we will be able to obtain the Magic Crystal?"
Pu Lin coughed several times, gasping for air as he spoke, "You must have confidence in yourselves, and the resolve to overcome all challenges. Whether you can succeed depends entirely on you. Let’s go, it’s time to leave here; it’s about time for Yan Shi’s matters to be resolved."
Ah Dai blinked, about to say something, when his stomach growled. It had been too long, and his lunch had long since been digested.
Xuan Yue let out a laugh, silently reciting a spell, and produced several Steamed Buns from the Phoenix’s Blood, passing them to Ah Dai, "You must be hungry, eat something first. Prophet, would you like some?"
Pu Lin gave a wry smile, "I am sorry, I forgot that you have not had dinner yet. Let’s go, after dealing with Yan Shi’s issue, I will ensure the Clan Leader treats you both well." He then led Xuan Yue and Ah Dai out of the stone chamber. When they passed through the two stone doors, the two Tilu fighters offered no resistance. Pu Lin said, "These two Tilu fighters are the strongest in our clan; they were transformed into Tilu warriors by the most powerful champions in the clan hundreds of years ago, and they could be considered the kings of the Tilu fighters. Although they might not be as strong as a Sword Saint on the continent, they are not far off. They are here to protect the history of our Pu Yan Clan. Xuan Yue, the method to enter here is on my Magic Note, at the very end. If necessary, you can come here to command them." With that, he moved on, leaving Xuan Yue and Ah Dai to sweep their gaze over the kings of the Tilu fighters, a trace of sadness in their eyes.
