"No, you can see, but you just need a little help." The boy's voice suddenly softened, with a bit of temptation infiltrated: "Come on, close your eyes."

Ye Miao closed her eyes reflexively, and her eyelids were covered by a cool hand. For a stranger, this is really an overly intimate gesture. Ye Miao was slightly startled, and before she could lean back, the other party had already retracted her hand immediately, like a magician playing tricks, and said with a smile: "Now Open your eyes and see."

Ye Miao immediately opened her eyes, and found that the originally pitch-black field of vision actually began to appear faint spots of light, which gradually became one, and the phosphorescent spots on the wall turned from blurred to clear... Deprived Vision is back!

Ye Miao looked up with relief. When she finally saw the face of the boy who had been talking to her for so long, she froze.

The other party raised his chin slightly at her, with a calm posture, allowing her to look at him calmly, without any tweaking or concealment.

He looked about the same age as her, with a slender figure, but he didn't wash away the thinness of a young man, and he was dressed in a black robe.

In such a dim environment, he could still see the dark blue blood veins under his pale skin. Curly and short black hair hangs down the side of the face. On the beautiful face, the narrow and narrow eyes contain sharp pupils, shining scarlet light, as if hiding a poisonous hook, revealing a kind of strong attack. Sexually seductive.

Maybe it's not appropriate to describe a young man with the word "seductive", but there is nothing better than it to describe the feeling that hit Ye Miao's heart at this moment.

Not to belittle, but to praise.

It has nothing to do with words such as flattery, affectation, kitsch, etc. There is no doubt that his face is too beautiful, but based on the erect brow and nose bones and the neat and heroic mandible, the flowing charm is properly contained on the edge of derailment, creating a wonderful sense of surprise.

Arrogant and provocative, innocent and wicked. Two completely contradictory temperaments.

For a moment, Ye Miao's heart seemed to miss a beat.

To be honest, if she hadn't touched his normal temperature and dispelled her doubts through the short conversation and getting along with him, then, the first second she saw him, she would have suspected that this boy was not human.

Fortunately, in the Ripas Continent, there is no monster that can pretend to be a human without any flaws. Even the succubus, who is best at transforming, doesn't have such a realistic and delicate expression. Unless it's something beyond the records - but that kind of thing, how can it be so easy to come across?

It wasn't until the other party raised her eyebrows teasingly that Ye Miao realized that it was impolite to keep staring at the other party like this. She blushed, rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand as a cover, and changed the subject: "Why couldn't I see just now?"

The young man shrugged and said regretfully, "Probably because you have been cursed."

Ye Miao stared straight at her eyes, and her heart hung up again just after landing.

Seeing her frightened and vigilant appearance while pretending to be calm, the young man finally couldn't hold back anymore. With a puff, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he explained with a smile: "I'm just joking. In fact, your eyes couldn't adapt to the light for a while. , will not be able to see clearly."

Ye Miao, who almost believed it, was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed. This guy, why can he make jokes without changing his face in this situation? The mentality is too good, right?

However, this explanation is similar to her own guess - because she slept for too long, it took more time to adapt to the darkness.

After being interrupted, Ye Miao unknowingly walked out of the hopeless state just now. No matter what, I found a companion in a desperate situation, and we can discuss how to get out of here together, which is much better than wandering around alone.

and……

Ye Miao touched her ribs through the clothes with some doubts—I don't know if it was because of a sleep, the pain here had been faint before, and there was a tendency to intensify, but now it doesn't hurt much.

The young man rested his chin, glanced at her, and thoughtfully said: "You haven't answered my question yet, who are you?"

Ye Miao put aside her doubts for the time being, first reported her name seriously, and then asked in confusion: "Then what about you, who are you?"

"I don't have a name." The other party's face was hidden in the shadows, and he smiled slightly, revealing a sharp little canine tooth: "But you can call me... Berial, I got it for myself. "

In the Repas Continent, only slaves whose status is lower than the commoner class do not have a surname, or even an official name. Often, a simple code name, or even a string of numbers, is the name that will follow them for a lifetime.

Ye Miao naturally considered in this direction. She was born in a royal family, but she didn't have such an insurmountable concept of hierarchy. Besides, it doesn't matter what his origin is, what matters is how they leave here.

"Okay, Belial." Ye Miao stopped circling around and got straight to the point: "Why are you here? Did you accidentally fall from the top?"

"Well, I'm just like you."

"Great." Ye Miao breathed heavily, afraid of causing misunderstanding, and said embarrassedly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not gloating, I'm just happy to have found a companion. I got lost here, and after walking for a long time Back to the original point, I almost thought that I would never find the exit again, and I would be trapped here for the rest of my life. Fortunately, I met you, and we can leave this ghost place together."

Unexpectedly, Beryl did not show a happy expression. He stared at her for a while, then shook his head suddenly, shattering her plan slowly and clearly: "We can't go, we can't leave here."

Ye Miao frowned deeply, and retorted: "Why, we haven't tried it yet, how do you know you can't go out?"

"I tried. When I first broke into here, I encountered exactly the same thing as you. This corridor is infinitely reincarnated. No matter how long you walk, you will only go back to the original point." Beryl's slender fingers hovered in the air An illusory circle was drawn in the middle, as if she was jealous of something, she approached her ear, and whispered: "This is a cage that has been cast with dark magic. Those who break in cannot leave here by themselves. "

Light and darkness complement each other, but light magic and dark magic are not products of the same period. Light magic is a treasure bestowed by the gods to the elves, and cannot be stolen by other races. Dark magic was born hundreds of years later than the former. The reason is that the elves abandoned the Ripas continent, and humans were disappointed to find that they could not inherit light magic. There are such a small number of people who are unwilling to accept the reality, and insist on using the remnants left by the elves to mix various kinds of witchcraft to create a kind of magic that is completely different, and they named it "dark magic". Stand shoulder to shoulder with light magic.

The origins of these two kinds of magic are different, and the effects are also diametrically opposed. Light magic comes from the divine power in the elves, which can not only heal injuries, but also kill enemies and eliminate demons. Although dark magic is also powerful, it has no healing effect. It is always accompanied by evil deeds such as destruction and killing, and every time it is used, it will consume human life. The most terrifying thing is that life can consume one's own , you can also use someone else's.

During the decades when dark magic was the most popular, it was also the most chaotic period in the Ripas Continent. Every day, innocent people were killed and sacrificed to dark magic. For this reason, various kingdoms promulgated decrees, burned related books, and arrested dark magicians everywhere.

Today, dark magic has disappeared everywhere, but as long as you have an understanding of that period of history, you must know how many bloody storms it has caused.

Ye Miao couldn't believe it: "Why is there dark magic here?"

It's not just dark magic. And that ugly monster she saw in the library... There are too many secrets in this palace.

"Who knows." Belial rested his elbow lazily on the propped leg, thought for a while and said, "Using extraordinary means at an extraordinary time should be to counter violence with violence and imprison a head with dark magic. Monster."

Ye Miao's heart trembled, and something was about to come out.

"Aren't you curious why I know the secrets here so well?" Beryl narrowed his red eyes, covering up a glimmer of dark light that passed quickly: "Because I have dealt with that monster before."

Although he didn't describe the appearance of this monster, many messy images flashed through Ye Miao's mind. She took a breath and confirmed, "Are you talking about... Yabil's man-eating monster?"

"Is that what the people outside call him?" Belial seemed to have a fleeting displeasure. He crossed his arms and said lazily, "but he didn't eat me."

"What happened in the middle?"

"He didn't hurt me, and provided me with food. I guess He can freely enter and exit this maze, and he can also send people away. But he didn't send me away, because the condition for him to let me survive is—— I will stay here with him forever."

If you want to be locked up in such a dark place for the rest of your life, it will definitely be more terrifying than death. I'm afraid she doesn't have such a good mentality as Belial, and she will go crazy before she dies.

Ye Miao trembled all over, raised her head, looked at Belial with bewildered and moist eyes, and asked in confusion, "Why did he make such a weird request?"

"He is very smart, very powerful, very lonely, and has a thinking ability no less than that of humans. People will feel lonely, so He will naturally. Maybe He just wants to find someone to talk to." Beryl was coaxing, let go He lowered his voice: "Isn't it normal for a monster to act illogically and act entirely according to its likes and desires?"

"But... I can't be imprisoned here." Ye Miao obviously realized that she might be left here like Belial, and said eagerly and incoherently: "I am the princess sent by Kadan to ask for peace. If I suddenly disappeared, there will be an uproar outside, maybe the queen of Abel will think that I ran away privately, then my parents and younger brother will definitely be questioned. And..."

Suddenly, she became dizzy, her body swayed slightly, and Beryl quickly supported her.

Counting the time, it was already midnight outside. She hadn't had a drop of water since the evening, and she was tired of running, and she was already hungry. But I was so nervous that I didn't feel dizzy until now.

Beryl hugged her, and as if by magic, he took a piece of bread and a small pot of water from the stone behind him, handed them to Ye Miao, and said with concern: "Eat something first, your face is too pale. Ugly. This is my dinner today, untouched."

Ye Miao hesitated for a moment, feeling very embarrassed, but she was really hungry, so she finally took it and took a bite, thinking that Beryl is really a good person.

As soon as she took a bite, she knew that this was the most common type of bread taken from the kitchen of the Abbele Palace, and the texture was still soft, which meant that it was freshly taken.

Belial didn't lie to her, that monster really could come and go here freely, steal bread from the kitchen without anyone noticing, and feed the humans it locked here...

"You don't have to be afraid, I will find a way for you." Beryl patted her on the back softly, and comforted her: "Although I can't let you go, I can try to ask Him, or... …take you to ask Him.”

The corner of Ye Miao's mouth was still stained with bread crumbs. Hearing this, she subconsciously grabbed his clothes, as if afraid of being thrown into the darkness again, and said eagerly, "Wait a minute. Are you leaving?"

"Only He has the ability to get you out of here." Beryl took the crumbs off her face and said sincerely: "Don't worry, He won't eat me. But He never makes money-losing business, maybe he will Make some weird demands on you. Just as weird as He asked me to stay with Him..."

Ye Miao puffed her cheeks, lowered her head and considered for two seconds, and said, "As long as I can get out of here, I will agree to anything."

"Really?" Belial raised his eyebrows, showing a ambiguous but very nice smile: "I see, I will tell him."

Ye Miao thought that the monster would come to her, but she didn't see him until she was full and fell asleep wearing Belial's coat.

When she woke up, the heat source around her was gone, and she was the only one left around.

Ye Miao opened her eyes, sat up suddenly, and looked around: "Belier? Where are you?"

For people, if they are always alone, they will not feel so scared. If you have a partner and lose it soon, it is the beginning of panic.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the darkness at the end of the corridor. Ye Miao's breathing quickened suddenly. Fortunately, Belial's tall figure slowly emerged from the gloom.

He walked up to her step by step, knelt down on one knee, put his hand around her messy black hair behind her ears, and smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, that monster promised to let you go."

Ye Miao was overjoyed, but she had a premonition of what Beryl would say next.

"But He made a request."

"After leaving here, every once in a while, you have to come back here and talk to him." Belial stared at her scorchingly: "If you are willing to abide by this agreement, he will let you go."

The author has something to say: "You can call me Belial."

“You may call me Berial.”
