Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

After a short rest, Tails, Vera, Hill, and Sally rushed back to the mage's tower at the edge of the random forest as fast as they could.

Hill once mentioned that the sacrificial egg was very important to him.Now, he has obtained the approval of the Lord of Shadows and the key to controlling the Sacrificial Egg, completely controlling this legendary artifact.For him, one, despite being very weak, the sacrificial egg can still give him great power; two, being able to control this legendary artifact is the most powerful evidence that he is favored by the Lord of Shadows, enough to Crush Dika's original slander, and win those bystanders and some vacillating fools.

If he wanted to regain the position of High Priest and take revenge on Dika, there was no easier way than to go back with the Sacrificial Egg.

So he hoped to find other alternatives as Ender's energy source.

After some haggling, Vala and Ciel came to an agreement: Ciel agreed to use the sacrificial egg as Ender's energy source—if Tyran could really do it.Correspondingly, Hill will obtain the right to use Ender - the ownership is temporarily put on hold, and the right to use will continue until Hill no longer needs him.In this case, even though the power has been greatly weakened, it is still useful, and the naked death and shadow of the sacrificial egg are enough to prove that Hill is still favored by the gods.At the same time, as compensation, Vera promised to give Hill some help instead of Tailan.

Tails objected, although he really wanted to save Ander, he didn't think that Vera could make such a decision for Tailan without authorization. Tailan was very difficult to deal with at first sight, and Tails didn't think he would pay for Ander. what price.But Vera showed a clear smile and told him: My dear servant, believe me, I know that guy, he will agree, if he is not willing, I naturally have my way.

Tails snorted in his heart and reluctantly agreed with the mage.

In fact, after officially signing the blood contract with the Sacrificial Egg, if Ender uses the Sacrificial Egg as an energy source, then Hill can completely control the artifact directly, thereby controlling Ender.Therefore, for Villa, Tyran's reaction is completely out of consideration.

The agreement was reached.

The rest is up to Tailan.

On the day we returned to the Mage Tower, the weather was gloomy, and the lush forest was stained with ink.Against the leaden gray clouds, the gray body of the Mage Tower looks extremely bleak—just like Talisa's state of mind.

Except for Charlie and Tailan's servants, all the people in the mage's tower gathered together to listen to Tailan's talk about the current situation.

After seeing the sacrificial egg, Tai Lan said: For Ender, the artifact is too powerful, but fortunately, the power of the sacrificial egg has been almost exhausted.So although it is very difficult, it should still be able to be modified and used.

Now, the trouble is another problem.

During the period when Vera and the others were away, Tyran had awakened Ender five times, and these five times, no matter what the beginning was, ended in Ender's berserk without exception.At present, there are two consciousnesses in Ander's body at the same time, one is the bard shown before, and the other seems to be a cold-blooded warrior.No matter which consciousness Ender manifests, he is relatively calm and able to retain basic rationality.But the good times didn't last long, and within ten minutes, his thinking would become more and more chaotic, two consciousnesses emerged alternately, and then fought with each other, making Ander very painful, and soon fell into a violent desire to kill and destroy.Even though Tai Lan's confinement device was very strong, he still broke through three times, and even once, almost broke through the thick door of the basement, which was full of magic circles.

Obviously, there's no point in waking up a pure killing machine.

In response to this situation, Tai Lan proposed a plan: Consciousness fusion, with the help of spiritual magic and external force intervention, to force the two consciousnesses in Ander's mind to merge to form a new consciousness.

Talisa bit her lip and sat in the corner of the research room, her eyes fixed on Ender lying on the table blankly.Prior to this, Tai Lan had told her these things and reminded her of the possible consequences. These consequences were always lingering in her heart, like an inextricable spell, covered with thorns, firmly strangling her heart.

There are four possible consequences of consciousness fusion:

[-]. The fusion failed, and the two consciousnesses in Ander's body were wiped out together, and they would never wake up again.

[-]. The fusion failed, and the two consciousnesses in Ander's body became more chaotic, and from then on they would only be dominated by pure desire to kill and destroy—just like his original purpose.

[-]. The fusion is successful, but the awakened consciousness is likely to be a brand new consciousness, and even has nothing to do with the previous "Ender".He may not remember the past, or he may, but these are not important. The important thing is that he is no longer the slender and sensitive bard he used to be.

[-]. The fusion is successful, and it is still the bard who wakes up - this possibility is very small, at least, Tai Lan has no hope.

The first time Talisa heard of these consequences, Talisa felt the world spin and blur, dragging her down a bottomless abyss.Tai Lan supported her, and told her gently and without sympathy: "Beautiful Miss Wooden Spirit, I'm sorry, but this is the reality, you have to accept it. Of course, it doesn't matter to Ender whether you accept it or not." , you have to admit that you can’t help him.” Then, he showed a gentle and polite smile, withdrew his hand from supporting Talisa, took a step back, and told her, “However, I will give you a chance, if Vera really If you can bring back suitable alternatives, then I will give you the right to choose, and it is up to you to decide whether to adopt this plan. Beautiful Miss Mu Jing, think about it, keep the original, and unknown risks, which one do you prefer? one."

Two choices, five possible outcomes, except for that slim hope, the other four without exception stung Talisa's heart.

Tailan's words sounded in her ears: "Beautiful Miss Wooden, think about it, even if the fusion is successful, can you really accept a completely different 'Ender', a stranger with the same face? You say you love him, if his consciousness disappears, will you still love him? Love his body? Or fall in love with a stranger?"

Talisa didn't know.

She looked at Ender blankly, and the noisy discussions around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.She no longer grieved, a thorny bush grew from the bottom of her numb heart, her eyes looked at Ender, but there was nothing in her head.She was immersed in her own world, filling her empty chest with numbness, as if as long as she did so, she would not lose Ender, and she still had hope.She began to hate Tyran and why he gave the choice to herself instead of anyone else.Instead of facing the unknown consequences in person, it is better to close your eyes and wait.

"Beautiful Miss Mujing."

"Talisa."

"Talisa!"

The familiar voice pulled her back from her own world.The numbness gradually faded away, and the soul-crushing pain revived, crawling out from the bottom of my heart again.She heard Tai Lan's gentle voice: "Beautiful Miss Wooden Jing, now, tell me your choice."

The thorns grew wildly and tightened, and the sharp poisonous thorns pierced Talisa's heart and pierced her chest.

The trembling lips could hardly speak.In a haze, she saw a gentle and sarcastic smile on Tai Lan's face—like a devil.

There was silence, so quiet that it seemed that only her own breathing and heartbeat were there.

Five pairs of eyes were fixed on her, waiting for her decision.

Talisa closed her eyes, opened her lips with difficulty, and made the final choice.She heard her own voice trembling and dry: "I choose... fusion."
