Chapter 1622: Riel's Rebirth
Of course Lucia knew what Grim wanted to ask.
It’s just that everything this guy said is true or false, and only after confirming the truth or falsehood can we consider how to treat this uninvited ‘future subordinate’...
Since Lucia plans to rebuild arcane civilization in the abyss, a certain number of subordinates are indispensable. Where she goes to recruit and how she recruits are very difficult questions.
There are mountains and seas of demons in the Abyss, but these chaotic and evil guys are only suitable for slave labor, but they must not be accepted as subordinates. Because no matter how small or simple a thing is if you leave it to them, they can make it a mess and make all your hard work go to waste.
This is not because they do this intentionally, but is an inherent trait of all chaotic creatures in the entire multiverse!
Therefore, if Lucia wants to find some handy subordinates, she can only avoid the option of demons and look for ideas from other outsiders living in the abyss.
And the former ‘genius puppet master’ in front of him is undoubtedly a very suitable target!
Greem had already experienced the injuries on his body. They were nothing more than severe internal injuries, which caused the core of his consciousness to be broken and his mental strength to be weakened. In other people's eyes, such an injury would be irreparable and there is no room for recovery, but in Greem's eyes, it is just a 'minor injury' that can be easily cured...
It only takes 5 points of divinity to reshape a core of consciousness for him, and then regroup the collapsed mental power... Chip estimated that it will take about three years of recuperation to restore it to its former glory.
However, Greem was still a little unsure as to whether Riel was worth the 5 points of divinity ‘bet’, so he secretly asked Lucia.
As a favored one by fate, Lucia does not rely on magic such as 'true knowledge' to judge whether other people's words are true or not, but directly checks the trajectory of your past destiny.
When Rui Er hesitated to tell his past, every life node that was related to the overall situation would trigger a big or small resonance of fate. This kind of resonance cannot be sensed by others, and it is impossible to spy on anything through it, but Lucia is different.
As long as the other party said these words in front of her, the related tributaries of fate would be clearly presented in front of Lucia. Lucia can freely browse and read all the past events that happened to Riel like a book...
In front of Lucia, Riel can't hide any secrets at all!
Lucia's eyes turned pure milky white, and she stared at Riel. Everything in front of her disappeared with a whoosh, leaving only a vast trail with no source or source visible. The long gray river at the end...
And as Rui Er narrated, one of the many small branches derived from the long gray river silently lit up one after another with silver light. Relying on the guidance and positioning of the silver light, Lucia successfully located the tributary of destiny that Ruier was involved in without much effort.
Lucia took a deep breath, and her mind suddenly sank into the tributary of fate. While enduring the wash of the power of fate, she searched and looked through the fateful images related to Riel.
A buzzing sound in the mind.
In an instant, countless historical images rushed in front of us like scenes of incoherent movies, and then disappeared quickly. The speed was so fast, and the information torrent was so complex that ordinary people could hardly imagine it. Lucia could only keep her eyes open, quickly capturing every historical image that passed by, trying her best to find the most valuable information.
In the historical images one after another, Lucia saw little Riel who had just started his apprenticeship, saw wizard Riel who was reunited warmly with his family, and saw the genius Riel who was enjoying the praise and support of countless beauties colleagues. When the middle-aged Rui Er was fighting in the puppet laboratory, he saw the desperate Rui Er trapped in the demon fighting circle...
Every frame and every scene is the past of this wizard Riel.
Although Lucia is a person favored by fate, she does not dare to stay in the tributary of fate for too long.
Once she is not protected by the power of destiny, her mind and consciousness will be swallowed up by the river of destiny in an instant, and it will never be possible to find her again.
Therefore, after roughly confirming that what Riel said was not too false, and that there were no traces of human tampering or changes in this tributary of fate, Lucia hurriedly got out of this state.
The vast and endless river of destiny gradually faded away, Lucia's white eyes returned to normal, and Riel, who was stared at by her, had no idea what she was doing, let alone himself. The past has been thoroughly reviewed.
Riel had a strange feeling.
He instinctively felt as if all his clothes had been stripped off by this mysterious and strange woman in front of him, and all his secrets and stories had been completely mastered by her.
He, Rui Er, was defenseless in front of this terrifying woman. He had no secrets whatsoever, both physically and mentally!
This feeling is so weird, but Rui Er firmly believes in it.
As for why?
He doesn't know either!
"There's nothing wrong with him!" Lucia closed her eyes and calmed her mind to cool down her overheated brain that had just been hit by the huge torrent of information. Then she opened her eyes and nodded slightly at Greem.
There’s nothing wrong with this Riel!
Although his words were not entirely true and were too flattering to himself and too vilifying to his enemies, the basic facts were still correct.
As long as there is no trace of ‘Mesha’ interfering, Lucia can still tolerate and accept a little ‘flaw’.
With Lucia’s endorsement, Grimm can start to recruit this former ‘genius puppeteer’ with confidence!
“Reel, do you want to regain your strength?” Grimm didn’t say too many polite words and directly revealed his trump card.
“Restore strength…” Reel repeated blankly.
In his cognition, the broken consciousness core and the collapse of mental power are all irreversible ‘terminal illnesses’. Is there anyone who can condense the broken consciousness core again?
How is this possible?
Grimm smiled slightly, raised his right hand and spread it gently, and a bit of divinity emerged from nothing.
Divinity, derived from the inherent characteristics of gods, is also the most active mysterious substance in the world.
As soon as this divinity emerged, strands of elemental particles were lured in from the empty void around it, gathering around the divinity as if they wanted to merge with it.
When the surrounding elemental particles exceeded a certain threshold, the colorful dazzling light began to diffuse in all directions.
Looking at the mysterious thread in Grimm's hand that was wandering and inexplicably blooming with colorful light, Riel stared at it with wide eyes, licking his dry lips desperately, and said word by word in the deepest and hoarse voice: "Divinity..."
"You were also a high-level wizard in the Silver Alliance, so you naturally recognize this thing. Do you think this thing can cure your injuries?" The smile on Grimm's face became brighter and brighter, and against the backdrop of the colorful dazzling light, he was like a devil watching his prey walk into a trap step by step.
"Okay!" Riel felt that breathing was a little difficult, swallowing hard and saying, "But the number seems to be a little insufficient..."
Before he finished speaking, Grimm's fingers moved slightly, and the original 1 point of divinity immediately became 3 points.
Three golden threads meandered in the palm of his hand, as if they had their own unique spirituality, making every creature who saw them feel greedy and possessive.
Riel took a deep breath and did not hesitate.
He turned over and knelt in front of Grimm, swearing and declaring that he would be loyal to Grimm from now on.
Wizards are indeed creatures of the lawful evil camp. They never care about things like changing their camps, and they don't have too much psychological burden. As long as it is good for themselves, face, honor, and dignity can be temporarily abandoned.
Although they have principles, they never stick to them; although they have beliefs, they can adapt to changes...
This is undoubtedly the most criticized point of wizards.
They can betray everything they originally had at any time and anywhere for greater benefits.
It is difficult to gain the loyalty of such a guy who comes here because of the temptation of interests.
However, Grimm doesn't care.
In addition to the interests, he also has powerful strength.
As long as he can maintain his absolute crushing strength, he will not expect guys like Riel to dare to betray.
"Not to be loyal to me, but to her!" Grimm pointed to Lucia and directly pointed out his future master to Riel.
And Riel did not hesitate at all. He immediately turned around and knelt in front of Lucia and repeated what he had just said.
The whole process was so smooth, without any pause, and there was no discomfort in his heart.
It seems that during these days of wandering in the Abyss, survival has become an instinct engraved in his bones!
Lucia also nodded with satisfaction.
So, 1 point of divinity slowly merged into Riel's body under the drive of Grimm.
This miserable man who was previously dirty and covered with dysentery and pus, burst into red light in the next second, and the whole person instantly changed his appearance as if he had swallowed a small sun.
The dysentery abscesses attached to the body surface quickly shrank and healed, the foul-smelling substances squeezed out of the pores condensed into dirt and fell like raindrops, and the dark and shriveled body slowly swelled up as if blown up, and the skin and hair that had lost their luster regained vitality.
Riel stood up again with his own strength, and kept stretching his hands, feeling the full and powerful magical power in his body, and feeling the relaxation and joy that he had not felt for a long time.
He burst into tears, he cried, he roared to the sky...
The wanderer Riel disappeared...
The genius Riel who had not appeared in front of people for a long time was resurrected!
