Yearn for brightness

As the diffuse consciousness gradually draws inward and stabilizes, Alicia ends this magical perception and slowly opens her eyes.

There was no change in the translucent grimoire suspended in front of her, and with a silent sigh she pulled the Book of Destiny, the symbol of sole authority, back into the depths of her consciousness.

The wound on the left shoulder blade of her back was throbbing from the unflowing magic, and Alicia put on her hood again and walked out of the alley, becoming the most obscure adventurer and blending in with the crowd.

The city of Tus is a city on the border of the Kingdom of Tern, originally a very deserted town, but in recent years because of the influx of adventurers and become a lot of lively, selling potions, equipment, scrolls and other convenient adventure activities of the shops mushroomed, in this near the abyss and clouded town showed some miraculous prosperity.

Alicia could not rejoice in this prosperity, the influx of adventurers because of the deep breath of the sleeping forest overflow, the number of all kinds of demons also increased, the knights of the kingdom tired, the work of destroying demons mostly fell to the head of the free adventurers.

This means that the real demon King has shown signs of awakening, and the whole world is gradually entering the beginning of destruction as described in the Book of Destiny.

Alicia, as the goddess of the upper world, came to the continent of Ainkat to prevent the impending destruction of the world.

To be precise, a probationary goddess of the upper world.

As long as she can successfully save the world, Alicia will be successfully promoted to the official goddess, obtain the corresponding honor and authority, and from then on eternal life in the upper world.

The salvation difficulty of Ainkat continent is only B+ level, and the description on the Book of Destiny only requires the goddess who comes to this world to find the brave man of heaven and help him defeat the demon King, which is the most common and simple kind of plot, which is suitable for the novice who comes for the first time like Alicia.

-- That's how it should be.

However, in the process of Alicia's arrival, I do not know what went wrong, and she did not fully adapt to the magic system of this world, and only half of the "goddess wings" that symbolize the divine power of the upper world grew out, and the other half was a wound left on the shoulder blade.

The loss of a wing also lost the complete magic cycle, resulting in Alicia unable to use most of the miraculous magic in this world, directly from the goddess of the upper world reduced to a magic scholar with knowledge and magic more than ordinary people.

Not only that, the key item "Holy sword Katron" that was originally to be given to the brave to kill the demon King is missing, and the brave himself who needs the holy sword to sense to determine his identity has no news at all.

If it were not for the fact that there is still a true God from the upper world in the depths of consciousness, used to record everything and the future trajectory of the "Book of Fate" on the continent of Ainkat, Alicia would have to suspect that what goddess came to the world to find a brave man to save the world is her wishful imagination.

Before she became a novitiate goddess in the upper world, she seemed to be an ordinary person, her memory at that time had been blurred, but she had come to the end of her life, and the feeling of facing death was extremely clear and real. Then Alicia's consciousness woke up in the upper world, and she knew that she had become a Novitiate goddess.

She cherished this opportunity, after all, no one wants to go to the eternal sleep of death in the case of choice, but the reality always backfires.

Alicia opened the Book of Destiny in the Sea of Consciousness and looked at her own attributes panel.

Lv.38 Alicia Moore

Physical strength: 380/380

Magic: 400/400

Spirit: 44

Power: 30

Agility: 28

Skills: lv.6 Great Sacred Art, lv.5 Holy Healing Art, lv.5 Holy Light Purification Art, lv.5 Holy Word Blessing, lv.4 Blazing White Explosion, lv.7 Light Attribute affinity, lv.9 Alchemy, lv.9 Forging, lv.9 Enchantment, lv.9 Collection, lv.9 Identification Eye

This is one of the few useful features on the Book of Destiny, the "Identification Eye", in addition to seeing its own attributes, it can also identify the intelligence data of most species in the world, because it is the first version used by new people, and it is also kindly attached to the reference data.

Generally speaking, the initial level of the goddess of the upper world should be above lv.50, but she has dropped a large portion because of the deformity of her wings, and all the skills that need to build magic cycles for casting are all gray, but several life skills are almost full.

She must be the first of many probationary goddesses through the ages to make such a devastating start in a world of salvation difficulty level B+.

Alicia sorrowfully put away the Book of Fate in the sea of consciousness and braced herself to face the reality.

A year has passed since she came into this world, after understanding the initial situation, Alicia has been trying to find the lost sword and brave, fortunately, the demon king's awakening is not so fast, she still has a few years, and the "Book of Fate" can help her sense.

In this year, she traveled across several of the most prosperous countries on the land of Ainkat, honing from the initial lv.30 all the way to lv.38, but still failed to find the whereabouts of the brave and the sword, and finally could only look at some remote small countries such as the Kingdom of Tern.

The city of Tus, which prospered because of the hunting of demons, is the destination of Alicia's search for the brave this time.

However, after entering the city, the perception of the Book of Destiny did not have any noteworthy hints, Alicia has become accustomed to such results, here near the abyss, even if you can not find the brave, you can also pay attention to the changes in the abyss, calculate how much time you have left.

Alicia disguised herself as the most ordinary adventurer, and after hearing the news of the Abyss, turned into the crowded market in the city of Tus, intending to find a potions shop to sell the potions she had made.

This has been her main source of income for nearly a year, and although she cannot use instant magic due to the deformity of the Goddess Wing, the knowledge recorded in the Book of Destiny is rich enough to allow Alicia to perform life-style magic such as alchemy, medicine, and enchantment, which only rely on magic, but do not need to build a complete magic cycle.

However, as a goddess who came to the upper world (trainee), lost one side of the wings, even had to be helpless to make a living, Alicia in the heart to ridicule countless times, secretly vowed that if you can successfully complete the task, she must complain to the upper world in the process of all unreasonable treatment.

It was not yet time for the official opening of the market, and the merchants who sold goods had not yet laid out the most attractive goods, and the guests who came to buy them were few and mostly gathered near the shops where the equipment and charms were made.

Alicia smoothly found the magic drugstore, on the way to the store she saw a dark shop without a sign, the store's things are covered by dilapated heavy canvas, the ground is covered with sludge like debris, and the sound of chain collision is constantly coming from inside, faintly sending out a smell mixed with blood.

It was a slave shop.

Alicia fell silent, although many countries on the mainland have explicitly banned the sale of intelligent races as slaves, but such as the city of Tus, where the magic is overflowing and difficult to be regulated by the kingdom, there is still an open slave trade.

Most of their goods are monsters and demons with a certain degree of intelligence, but there are also some rare races not commonly seen on the continent.

Alicia did not want to stay any longer in such a place, and walked quickly past the unsigned shop, but just as she was about to turn into the Magic pharmacy, something was suddenly thrown out of the shop and slammed lifeless against the door.

"Gus, you're throwing dead things around again!"

The fierce woman selling fruit across the street shouted, "Dead bodies attract bugs and smell, and you're driving customers away!"

"I don't like you to clean up after yourself."

The slaveholder named Gus was unmoved, and the fruit woman, with a whammy tut, closed the window and went inside.

Alicia looked sideways at the creature that had fallen out. Wrapped in rags full of blood and loose threads, it was barely visible as a human being, like a human child of about ten years old, its inky black hair tangled with dried pus and blood, was tangled around its head, covering one eye and holding the other tightly shut, and there was no heaving in its chest.

On his head grew tall curved horns that were clearly not human, and his bare skin, apart from festering and bruised wounds, had a dark and ominous tint of barbs and scales, like those great reptile monsters born in the abyss.

He was probably dead, and when he was thrown out, he lay motionless in the same place. Alicia sighed in her heart, withdrew her eyes silently, and turned to enter the magic shop.

The boss of the magic pharmacy is dealing with medicinal materials, after hearing the movement, looked up and looked at the adventurers who walked into the store, the other side took out rows of packaged regular agents from their refined space stone, in turn placed on the container in front of the boss.

The quality of the medicine she sold was good enough, and the price of a primary cure agent three sur was also very fair, and the boss of the magic pharmacy put down his work and nodded after careful inspection, and the account of the first transaction was settled very readily, so as to show the sincerity of the purchaser willing to continue to cooperate.

"Sixty sur in all, the finest Tern coins. Look at them."

The magic pharmacy boss said, handed a bag of silver coins in his hand to the adventurer in front of him, and could not help but look at each other with curiosity.

She was dressed in the casual travel-dress common among adventurers, her hood pulled over her head so that most of her face was hidden, and from the point of view of the owner of the magic shop only a few wisps of pale blonde hair slipped through the gaps, and her jaw was as delicate and white as the carving of a church idol.

Since the number of magic creatures has soared, this border town near the sleeping forest has recently been flooded with adventurers, and the magic pharmacy business has also been booming, the boss has seen all kinds of customers come here to buy potions, but never seen such a single action, even the hood can not stop the beautiful strange female adventurers.

It was most likely a pharmacist skilled in natural magic. The owner of the magic pharmacy guessed in his mind and then asked: "Do you need other materials?" I also have a lot of special herbs that adventurers have been harvesting from magic creatures."

Alicia really needed something that was difficult to gather alone, and after thinking for a moment, she said to the owner of the magic shop, "Do you have the Seed of the Abyss here?"

This is a magic heteronomy that only grows on the edge of the abyss, and can be used to make many magic props of the abyss and the curse, which is very rare in the era when the breath of the abyss is not active, but now the deep sleeping forest should be able to collect many.

The owner of the magic pharmacy nodded and was about to speak when there was a commotion at the door.

Slaveholder Gus likes to throw the devil of death behavior obviously not only affected a fruit shop, now there are people outside to scold, the slaveholder is still unmoved, everyone is afraid of his means of action is very hot, also dare not really conflict, scold a few will only walk away.

Alicia accidentally listened, and the person who was scolding seemed to say that Gus had thrown something that was not dead and told him to pick it up.

"It's a subspecies."

The owner of the magic pharmacy said with obvious disgust as he searched the shelf behind him for Alicia to store the Pit Seed in a box. "These are people who were born cursed by the devil, but they are not easy to kill. Look at the one thrown outside, it has been dying for several days, but it cannot swallow its last breath, and it is as sick as a worm."

The subspecies demon.

Alicia recalled reading in the Book of Fate, which is actually mostly human beings polluted by the breath of the abyss, the body and temperament will appear to a certain degree of change, because of the extremely unstable force and are regarded as dangerous creatures by the same kind, from birth to be rejected.

The abyss represented by the demon King is gradually waking up, and different strains such as the seed of the Abyss begin to appear in the sleeping forest, and the figure of the subspecies of demons will naturally appear in the human race.

If you can successfully find the brave, assist him to defeat the demon king, seal the abyss, this world can also be less like the tragedy of the subspecies of demons.

Alicia did not continue to discuss the subspecies with the owner of the magic pharmacy, and after paying off the silver coins for the Abyss Seed, she placed the material in the space stone, pulled her hood tight, and left the Magic pharmacy.

The faint subspecies of demon still lay at the door of the slave shop, and did not know when to open his eyes.

Beneath the blood and hair was a golden pupil, slender, with a kind of tiny, still vibrant, unique vitality of life that was still alive.

When Alicia came out of the magic pharmacy, she looked down and saw just such an eye.

The other seemed to catch her gaze, her pupils moving up a little, the same to the face of the adventurer hidden under his hood, with a slight gleam of curiosity, and a clear glow of water in his iris, without the dying breath and despair.

Alicia's feet stopped, and she forced herself to look away and walk on.

She must find the brave, everything in this world will have the meaning of existence, otherwise whether it is the present subspecies of demon children, or the thousands of creatures in this world, even including herself, will be destroyed in the disaster that is doomed to come.

Alicia doesn't have the spare heart
