Chapter 809 A Reminder to Mavica
After the three of them chatted for a while, Amina suddenly changed the subject and mentioned the attack by the Abyss on the Flowing Springs.
"By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, I need to report this attack to Lord Vulcan tomorrow."
"I heard from Maranie that you are here to meet the Lord of Fire. Do you want to take this opportunity to go meet the Lord of Fire with Maranie tomorrow?"
Shao Yun listened to Amina's advice. Although he had met with Mavica a few days ago and talked about some things, he actually had some important things to tell her.
If I could take this opportunity to see Mavica again, maybe I could tell her everything.
"Although I have already met her, but... no problem, it just so happens that I feel that my vacation time is over, and we haven't finished the detailed discussion last time."
……
The next day, the sun was shining brightly at the Holy Flame Arena.
Malani told the staff at the call center about her future goals, and the staff immediately informed Mavica.
After getting permission, the staff let Shao Yun and Malani in.
Walking into Mavica's bedroom, a fresh scent hit me.
At this time, Mavica had just finished her morning exercise and was walking out of the bathroom, with a faint mist still emanating from her body.
Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, wet and revealing a unique beauty.
(I haven’t used fire to dry my hair yet…)
Malani sees Maavika and greets her.
"Lord Vulcan..."
Shao Yun followed closely behind and said politely, "Ms. Mavica."
Mavica looked at Malani and Shao Yun who had suddenly arrived, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
She smiled and responded, "Oh? Maranie, Mr. Shao Yun, what's going on?"
Malani told the whole story of how the Flowing Springs were attacked by the Abyss a few days ago.
When Mavica heard the news, her face instantly became solemn. Her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a sad look.
"Did the Abyss attack the Flowing Springs a few days ago?"
Malani nodded heavily, then handed a list and a package to Mavica.
"Yes, this is the casualty report, as well as Agaia's relics. We thought you would accept them, Lord Kagami."
Mavica reached out and took Agaia's relic, a small amulet.
She looked at the amulet, and through it, Mavica saw the smile that Agaia once had.
Mavica sighed softly, her voice revealing endless sadness.
"Agaya... Last time I told her that we should go to the hot springs together sometime, but I didn't expect..."
Malani stood quietly by, with her head lowered, silently remembering this beloved elder in her heart.
After Mavica put away the amulet, she raised her head, patted Marani on the shoulder, and gently comforted her: "I understand everything, but I didn't expect the Abyss to invade the Flowing Spring so brazenly during the Night Watcher War..."
Then, Mavica turned her attention to Shao Yun, who came with Malani.
"Thank you Mr. Shao Yun for your help. Amina mentioned your help in particular in her report."
Shao Yun's expression seemed indifferent, and he didn't care about this kind of thanks.
"You're welcome. I'm here to help."
Seeing that the business was over, Maranie asked Mavica about the team participating in the Nightwatch War.
"By the way, Lord Vulcan, how is the Night Watcher team doing?"
Mavica pinched her chin, thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "The team hasn't come back yet, but don't worry. I know you're worried about Katsina, but nothing will go wrong."
……
Malani and Mavica had a brief conversation for a while. As their conversation was about to end, Shao Yun suddenly interrupted and said, "By the way, Mavica, do you have time now?"
Mavica turned her head and looked at him, nodded in confusion, and replied, "Yeah, a little time, what's the matter?"
Seeing that Mavica had time, Shao Yun got straight to the point and said, “Actually, the night you and I drank together a few days ago, I still have something to tell you.”
Upon hearing this, Mavica recalled the scene that night and realized that it was indeed the case.
When they talked about Fengshen kidnapping Ying and Paimeng, Shao Yun became a little depressed and didn't continue chatting with her.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Mavica asked.
Shao Yun glanced at Malani standing next to him, and then said to Mavica: "This is a secret about me."
When Mavica heard the word "secret" and saw Shao Yun glance at Malani, she instantly understood what he meant and nodded in understanding.
"It's a secret..." Mavica repeated thoughtfully, then turned to Maranie and said, "Maranie, could you please go out and give Mr. Shao Yun and me some space?"
Maranie nodded tactfully and said, "Okay, Master Kagami."
After Malani left the bedroom, Mavica said to Shao Yun, "Now you can tell me, what is the secret?"
……
Shao Yun told Mavica about the tall hat man and his understanding of him.
When Mavica first heard what Shao Yun said, she didn't take it too seriously. She thought Shao Yun was just joking and using the characters in fairy tales to scare her.
"A mysterious being wearing a top hat, a demon? A devil? What does that mean?"
Shao Yun saw that Mavica didn't seem to fully understand what he said, so he repeated it again.
"That's what it means literally."
Mavica thought for a while, then summarized Shao Yun’s description of the mysterious existence and pointed out the key points.
"You mean, the power you have now that can compete with the devil was given to you by this guy?"
Shao Yun nodded, and then he further explained: "Well, it's about the same. But it's more like a transaction than a gift."
After saying this, Shao Yun pointed to the "Eye of God" hanging on his waist and continued, "Moreover, I even suspect that this 'Eye of God' on my waist was also given to me by it."
"Although Paimon said at the beginning that what I have on my waist is the Eye of God, the Wind God has already told me that this is not the 'Eye of God' in the strict sense, but a combination of blood and resentment."
Then, Shao Yun further revealed some of the effects of this "Eye of God".
"This 'Eye of God' has some other effects. Whenever I use some power that you cannot understand, liquid will flow out of the eyes of this skull carving."
"At first, the fluids were blood-colored, but over time, they turned black."
Shao Yun paused and recalled a detail that happened when he killed Baalzebub.
"Also, when I was fighting Baalzebub, she tried to seal the power of this 'Eye of God'. However, as soon as the sealing power of the Thunder God approached it, it was directly bounced off!"
Having said that, Shao Yun took off the Eye of God with a skull carving from around his waist and handed it to Mavica.
"Actually, I don't really care whether this thing is really the 'Eye of God'. I just think that it won't hurt to learn more about its characteristics and abilities, don't you think?"
Mavica took the Eye of God handed to her by Shao Yun with some hesitation, and carefully looked at the red "Eye of God" carved with a skull in her hand.
She showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and then she said: "Well... you may not know that the Eye of God is not actually issued by us seven gods."
Mavica secretly groaned in her heart. Strictly speaking, she was not a demon, but a human.
Shao Yun nodded. Of course he knew this. But, what can I say? After all, Mavica, you are the God of Fire. You should be able to understand it.
"I understand what you mean." Shao Yun said sincerely, "But you are the God of Fire after all, and this 'thing' of mine is also of the fire element. Can't you give me some clues or hints?"
Mavica looked embarrassed. There was really nothing she could do about it.
"The design of this 'Eye of God' is indeed quite peculiar," Mavica explained with a wry smile, "but divination and the like are really not my specialty..."
Shao Yun looked at Mavica's helpless look and couldn't help feeling disappointed.
But he also understood that forcing it was useless, so he finally chose to give up.
"Well, if that's the case, let's do it this way for now." Shao Yun sighed helplessly.
"However, Ms. Mavica, please remember that no matter how tempting the deal that demon offers you, you must never agree to it. Otherwise, you will lose miserably."
Mavica nodded and responded solemnly: "Okay, I'll remember that."
"Don't worry, I will be careful of that guy who wears a tall hat, black clothes, white lining, a mustache, and can't close his eyes at the same time. Don't trust what he says."
Shao Yun saw that Mavica understood and felt that there was no need for him to say anything more, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Well, I'll be leaving first..."
As soon as Shao Yun's voice fell, Mavica seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted loudly.
Shao Yun looked at Mavica with some confusion, wondering if she had anything else to say.
Mavica said seriously, "Don't give up so quickly! Since you, Mr. Shao Yun, have raised the question, we can't just let it go so easily."
"How about this? I'll provide you with a professional to answer your questions."
When Shao Yun heard that Mavica wanted to introduce him to a professional, he couldn't help but feel curious and asked quickly, "Professional? Who?"
A smug smile appeared on Mavica's face, and there was even a hint of pride in her tone.
"Hehe, the original owner of the green honey plum wine I invited you to drink a few days ago was called Obsidian Grandma, 'Sitralari'."
"She is the great shaman of Lord Yanmi and knows a lot."
Shao Yun's focus is on the green honey plum wine. You steal someone's wine, and then you ask them for help? It feels a bit abstract.
"You, you stole other people's wine, asked them for help, and ate and took it at the same time. Don't you feel embarrassed?" Shao Yun looked at Mavica helplessly.
Mavica looked at Shao Yun, who seemed to be worried that Xitrali would be difficult to get along with, and waved her hand indifferently.
"Don't worry, Sitrali is a very nice person."
"Although she will be very angry if her wine is stolen, the solution is very simple. Just treat her to a meal at the House of Ennui."
Shao Yun changed his mind and decided that since the wine was taken by Mavica, Xitrali should not cause trouble for him.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Shao Yun readily agreed.
Mavica suddenly slapped her forehead and added some more information about Sitrali.
"Oh, by the way, a reminder, although Xitlal is called 'Obsidian Grandma', she is not old at all, don't be confused by the title of 'Grandma'."
Shao Yun nodded without caring at all, and casually agreed: "Oh, okay, I understand."
