Struggle in the Steam Age

"Please don't do it, I will come out now." After waiting for two or three minutes quietly, when Lawrence was about to run out of patience and was ready to use magic missiles to solve his sorrows, a child-like voice came from It spread from the book, and then a faint phantom floated from the book.

　　 This cloud of phantom looks like a ball of basketball-sized off-white fog, and the whole shape looks like a drop of water floating in the air with a big head up. It's just that there are two round milky white bright spots the size of a pinball on the closest 1/3 of the top of the water drop, which may be its eyes.

　　 "Well, let's talk. You first introduce yourself, and then talk about why you want to absorb the soul of Mr. Fontaine." Lawrence looked at the spherical mist in front of him and said.

"I, I'm the book charm who lives in this book." The gray mist whispered in a childish tone, "I don't know where I came from, but I remember it since I was conscious. Many people record various stories in the book where I live, and then someone scrapes those words off to record new stories."

　　 "In this process, I was also taken from one library to another library, one person's home to another's home. In this process, I slowly became what I am now."

"After I have myself, in order to survive, I have to get energy from the outside world. Unfortunately, not all people I meet are extraordinary. Merely using conscious resonance cannot meet my energy needs. Therefore, the energy supply is insufficient. I can only sleep for a long time under the circumstances. Fortunately, there are so many kinds of power that I can use. So I have lived to this day."

　　 "It turned out to be like this." Lawrence nodded and then blessed him with a [Protection from Evil] and touched the notebook. After touching the notebook with his hand, the magic on his body did not respond.

　　 This proves that what the guy in front of me said is true. It is not a disguise of an evil spirit creature, but a book charm just like what he said. This kind of magical creature is a relatively rare spirit creature, often produced by the consciousness resonance of a large number of intelligent creatures' long-term reading and learning, and is born to be an excellent knowledge recorder and a creature of absolutely neutral camp.

　　 The wrong situation that Lawrence felt just now was that it was found by Lawrence when it left its sustenance and was looking for food around.

What makes Lawrence feel a little regretful is that the book charm in front of him is just an ordinary book charm. According to the introduction of the book that Lawrence saw in the library of St. Gutenberg Cathedral, there are some variants of the book charm. It looks more lovely. For example, in the notebook of a retired transcendent, there was a book charm that grew into a girl's appearance.

　　 "I believe your introduction." Lawrence said to the cloud ball in front of him. "But why do you want to absorb Mr. Fangdan's soul, he is unconscious now."

　　 "Yes, there is indeed a part of Mr. Fontaine's soul here, but that is what he asked of me." Unexpectedly, Shumei admitted very simply and neatly that it was indeed related to Xiao Fontaine's coma. "At that time, I felt that he was very distressed, so I showed up and asked him what he needed help? Then he said that he wanted to write a novel, but he had no idea.

　　 "I told him I could show him the story I recorded, and then he agreed." The Shumei said seriously, "In the end he chose to check the memory of my last master."

　　 "The last master?" Lawrence suddenly became interested, "Who was your last master? Why did Mr. Fontaine choose that story?"

"This, because of our agreement, I can't tell you. After all, Mr. Fang Dan wants to write a good novel. Telling you is equivalent to giving you the outline of the novel." Shu Mei seems to have a contract. Spirit. "I can only tell you that this story involves a poor student who went to school here, a top socialist on Mira Street, a wealthy businessman, and the wife of a wealthy businessman. Of course, there is no one in this story except the poor student. Good people."

　　 "Well, I respect you and promise not to ask these things again." Lawrence shrugged, and at the same time he filled up a short story with more than 100,000 words and full of various 404 content. But soon he focused on the business. "Then why do you need Xiao Fangdan's soul?"

　　 "I think it's because he is an ordinary person." Shu Mei looked a little innocent. "I told him before that because he does not have extraordinary powers, I need a very subtle part of his self-conscious soul to enter my soul as a bridge between the two souls to form soul resonance with me, so that I can You can take him to watch the memory, and I will return the soul to him after he finishes it."

"You have to know that as an ordinary person, the power that can maintain the process of viewing and memory is only his soul power. However, under normal circumstances, the loss of soul power for a day or two will not harm any ordinary person. Of course, doing Before all these things, I also told him all of these things, and repeatedly reminded him of the possible dangers."

"But what I didn't expect was that I never saw him since he left that day. And unless he comes to me, I won't be able to use that piece of his soul that is used to establish a connection between us. Give it back to him."

"So now I can only watch him helplessly resonate with me and consume my soul power. As a book charm, I don't have the initiative in this, so I can't cut off this process. "

"Okay, I think I have understood the situation." Lawrence also showed a helpless look on his face. It is obvious that Xiao Fangdan was too fascinated when he was collecting information, and he kept hiding from other things about this adventure. people.

　　 so that after the soul power was consumed too much, he passed out directly, and other people didn't know what happened to him. In short, this was an accident involving extraordinary power, not an attack made by some evil force.

　　 "Now I'm going to save Mr. Xiao Fangdan." After a moment of emotion, the young man was unreliable. Lawrence said to the book charm parasitic on the parchment book in front of me ~www.wuxiahere.com~ In this process, I also need you to cooperate, otherwise you are likely to be directly destroyed as something evil. "

　　 "Yes, I understand." The gray mist moved in the air, looking like nodding. "Please tell me what to do. I will definitely cooperate with you."

　　 "Actually, what you want to do is very simple, as long as—" Lawrence whispered a few words, and then called Sefei, who was busy next to him, to return to Fontaine Manor.

　　 An hour later, in the master bedroom of Fontaine Manor. Lawrence took out two maru Kazuka from an exquisite wooden box under the crowd of servants and Madam Fontaine and put it into the silver inlay incense burner, and then activated the magic in the incense burner to start heating.

　　 Then, in the sweet scent, he kept making complicated gestures on his chest while chanting some circumflex and frustration in his mouth, but no one understood the spell.

　　 But at this time, if someone could understand the words, then he would have heard Lawrence saying in Chinese: "Sariputra, non-color different emptiness, non-empty different color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color——"

　　 After feeling that he was almost pretending to be a ghost, Lawrence gently elbows the position of his coat pocket three times. At the same time, Mr. Fontaine, who was lying on the bed with a finger, shouted: "Wake up!"

　　 As the voice fell, a faint mist that was invisible to everyone on the scene except Lawrence flew from his chest to the head of Little Fontaine lying on the bed. Just after the mist melted into Mr. Fangdan's head. With a few coughs, Mr. Xiaofangdan's eyes opened.

　　 "Great, great!" Madam Fontaine rushed forward excitedly, holding Little Fontaine lying on the bed. "My son, it's great that you are fine."
