Chapter 793: Projection Drow, Prisoner

The so-called "Number 1 Time" refers to the discovery of a Projection Plane; ever since becoming an Advanced Arcanist, he had disabled this reminder.

But after discovering the ability of Memory Retrospection some time ago, he re-enabled this reminder, thinking of heading to the Projection Plane to collect Magic Knowledge, where more intense methods could be used than in the Main Plane.

It wouldn't take much time anyway; a human scanner isn't just a figure of speech.

However, now, before that joint operation, besides collecting Magic Knowledge, Xia Duo suddenly realized that perhaps he could first probe the Elves in the Projection Plane and have a run-in with them.

After all, one can exit the Projection Plane at any time, but there is no way to exit the Main Plane.

This Projection Plane has come at such a timely moment!

Xia Duo did not hesitate much and immediately chose to teleport; otherwise, if he delayed for even a moment and caused the Projection Plane to disappear, that would be a pity.

……

Performing an Astral Projection again after more than half a year, especially having just obtained a brand-new Soul form not long ago, Xia Duo had a bit more sentiment about this projection journey than usual.

This time, he clearly felt a beam of invisible light shed from the light sphere above the Projection Hall, shining onto his body and continuing deep down until it touched his Soul.

It was as if a thin film had been wiped off the surface of his Soul, bringing out another beam of invisible light, and then Xia Duo's consciousness sped upward along with that beam of invisible light.

It was a bit like the scene of a spaceship jumping in science fiction movies on Earth; the entire world was stretched extremely long in his Perception, and in just an instant, his consciousness jumped into that magnificent, vast silver void.

And "behind" him, an endless Silver Thread connected to the "path" he had come from.

Or rather, at this moment, his consciousness extended from his main body, constantly stretching, manifesting as a Silver Thread in this spiritual void.

After a brief pause, one end of the Silver Thread seemed to have found its true target and immediately began the next round of jumping, and immediately after, Xia Duo felt unbearable pain all over his body.

He knew that he had already arrived at the Projection Plane!

……

But at this moment, Xia Duo did not have much mind to think about where he was, nor could he see or hear; all he felt was endless pain.

It was as if he were in a scorching furnace, or as if he were in boiling hot oil.

This pain not only tortured his body but also eroded his mind; it was a perverse sensation he had never experienced before.

Simply enduring the pain already occupied the vast majority of Xia Duo's consciousness; he barely managed to withdraw a portion of his consciousness to conduct some simple thinking.

"Could it be that I have to give up this projection journey?"

At this moment, all he could think of was to leave the Projection Plane quickly, only in his heart, there was still a force resisting this thought of leaving.

Even though he was currently in an environment like purgatory, Xia Duo could not help but mock himself a little; was he really that perverse in his bones?

No, he was not perverse, it was just that the desire for harvest temporarily outweighed the pain.

But he himself could not be sure how much longer he could endure; the pain that violently impacted his consciousness every moment made him feel like he was living years in seconds.

Perhaps in the next second, he would give up!

……

However, just as Xia Duo was trying to find clues to break the situation in the body he had projected into, he suddenly felt that this body actually contained a familiar power!

He was far too familiar with this power, and at the same time, this discovery surprised him so much that for this instant, he even forgot the intense pain his body was enduring.

This is the power of Bloodline!

At the same time, he also noticed that the "purgatory" he was in seemed to have a suppressive effect on Magic; even though he had already felt the surging of Bloodline Power, he could not summon even a drop of water to alleviate the suffering of the purgatory.

It felt exactly like the feeling of being restricted from Spellcasting when he first explored the Mythallar ruins!

"Could it be that I've projected into an Elf again?"

Thinking of Elves, a sense of hatred surged in Xia Duo's heart for no reason; he was immediately alert—this was not his true thought, but the natural reaction of the projected body.

Just as he was preparing to further explore this body, the light and heat in the environment suddenly decreased significantly; although it was still painful, it was not hard to endure.

And at this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice that clearly carried a hint of coldness rang in his ears—

"Brandon, will you not submit yet? Do you still want to stay in the Light Prison? The Sangqi Family has already abandoned you; even if you go back now, they will only treat you as a traitor. It would be better to submit to my will and become my husband; isn't that much better than enduring endless pain in this Light Prison?"

Brandon, Light Prison, Sangqi Family—these keywords, one after another, triggered the memories of the body Xia Duo had projected into, and he immediately understood his current situation—

He had not projected into an Elf, but it was about the same; he had projected into a Drow!

Brandon was the Martial Arts Chief of the Sangqi Family; of course, this was just a title, essentially just a thug. However, Brandon's own appearance was extremely outstanding, and he had recently been captured by the Kelaorui Family, which was hostile to the Sangqi Family.

Besides slapping the face of the Sangqi Family, a big reason was that the Matriarch of the Kelaorui Family, Maluxisi, had taken a fancy to Brandon and wanted him to become her new pet.

And the reason Brandon refused was naturally not because of unwavering loyalty to the Sangqi Family, but because every new pet Maluxisi took a fancy to never lived past a month.

In that case, it would be better to resist; perhaps he could wait for the family's rescue.

"……"

After reviewing this memory, a chill immediately arose in Xia Duo's heart. To submit was to become a plaything for a "rich woman" and end up living no more than a month, while if he did not submit, whether he could last a month in this so-called "Light Prison" was a question.

This was truly too difficult to make a decision on.

In fact, Xia Duo was not prepared to wrong himself; he was unwilling to choose either. He was here to collect Knowledge and incidentally gain experience, not to serve others or enjoy pain.

The identity he projected into this time was a prisoner; what a terrible start!

Seeing that Xia Duo, or "Brandon," did not speak, Maluxisi's voice sounded again, "What are you still hesitating about?"

At the same time, the light and heat inside the Light Prison decreased again, and Xia Duo was able to squint his eyes to see a blurry figure standing not far from him.

In contrast to the light and heat, Xia Duo could feel that the pain had also greatly decreased. Only then did he realize that he had not been restricted in his body; he was just a bit weak from staying in this prison for a few days.

Cough—

Xia Duo was just about to open his mouth to curse a few times and then leave, but he found that his throat felt as if it had been burned by fire; his voice was dry and hoarse, almost unable to make a sound.

However, it was precisely because he had the intention to speak that the light and heat inside the Light Prison instantly disappeared, turning into darkness, which made Xia Duo immediately feel an unprecedented sense of relief.

Sure enough, having a contrast makes a difference; even in this prison cell where he wouldn't normally want to stay for even a moment, he could feel relief.
