Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 207 The last moment

When the palace with its ancient charm appeared in front of him, Lu Ke knew that he had reached his destination.

Although I had used the future vision to peek at it before, it was still a huge shock to actually see the real thing.

Even the palace in the royal city might not be more magnificent than this one, Luke commented as he walked through the huge flower garden that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Generally speaking, elves are not very dependent on material conditions. They can live a luxurious and exquisite house, a simple temporary room, or even a wooden house built in the forest with magic and live a carefree life.

And Celia, the strongest person who has survived from the mythological era to the present day, shows her strength and arrogance just from her residence. As a spectator who has truly experienced endless years and all kinds of experiences, she is herself a monument of the times.

Luke pushed open the heavy door, and the road leading to the throne was lit up with magical light on both sides. Celia's petite body leaned casually on the throne, and behind her was an unimaginably huge sea of ​​magic books.

He bowed slightly to the ancient spirit.

"Lady Celia, I'm Luke, Fulilian's apprentice."

Celia sat up a little straighter, acting a little nonchalant.

"Why do you need to call me sir? You don't look like someone who likes honorifics."

Luke replied calmly, "Because I have something to ask of you."

"I like your honesty." Celia stood up from the throne and walked barefoot to Luke. "We should have met before, not long ago."

"About one hundred and forty years ago, I used my future vision to look you in the eye."

Celia looked at him for a moment and gave him a wicked smile. "You are very strong, and I like that. Tell me, what is your favorite magic?"

Obviously, this answer will determine her attitude.

Luke lowered his eyes. He knew that Celia was the type who loved fighting and liked to use magic as a tool.

"For me, magic is a valuable subject, no matter if you like it or not."

The smile on Celia's lips widened silently, and she heard the next sentence right after.

"If I have to name one, it would be the magic that creates a meteor shower."

He didn't want to lie. Anyway, with his own strength, Celia, who admired the strong, would not hate him so much that she would not help him. His goal would definitely be achieved.

"Another magic for show."

As expected, Celie lost most of her interest, stretched casually, and returned to the throne.

"Forget it, just tell me your request."

Luke took out the booklet that he and Flyllian had partially filled in. Celia glanced at it briefly, and her face became more serious.

"The magic of the Seven Collapse Sages is one of the very few magics that is not in my inventory, but in theory it is impossible to learn it."

"I have learned it, although it is a half-finished product."

"Yes, you have learned magic that should not be learned by beings other than the Great Demon Clan, although it is only a half-finished product."

Celia's brows furrowed, and she lightly tapped, causing the booklet to break into pieces and fall to the ground. Flames then rose from the pieces, slowly turning them into ashes.

"I'm giving you some advice, don't go on."

"What if I insist?"

Celia: "Do you know why I didn't take action to destroy the demons?"

Luke thought for a moment: "Because the magic of the demons is very interesting. If the demons become extinct, you will not be able to see or analyze new and interesting magic."

"It is the same for humans. A peaceful and comfortable life will destroy fighting spirit, kill imagination and motivation to move forward. Only with the stimulation of the demons will more outstanding magicians be born."

"You're right. The demons destroyed the Elf Village. I could have wiped them out completely, but I never thought of taking action."

Celia sat up straight and looked down at Luke.

"The higher you stand, the farther you can see. I have long since jumped out of the ordinary perspective. Race, camp, and hatred are all irrelevant. The most important thing is that the situation develops according to my wishes."

"The more powerful you are, the less restrained you are. You must get what you want, and if you are annoyed, it doesn't matter if you overturn the chessboard."

"Go back, everything is the best arrangement."

“This is the second time I’ve heard that.”

As the closest spirit to the omniscient and omnipotent goddess, the brave hero of the South who can see through the past and the future, Luke believes that if Shulahat is in the same camp as himself, he will hear it for the third time.

"My answer won't change. I say no."

Celia was silent for a moment, her face gradually turned cold, and the sea of ​​books behind her suddenly began to surge, and then several thick notebooks flew out and fell in front of Lu Ke.

"Since you insist so much, you should study it by yourself from now on and don't ask Fulilian for help anymore."

Luke collected the books that Celia had given him one by one and bowed to her from a distance.

"Thank you for your generosity."

He bowed, turned around and left, disappearing behind the door.

Seeing her disciple leaving so abruptly, a strange look flashed in Celie's eyes.

"He doesn't look stupid. The hints I gave were obvious enough. He should have guessed it. Why is he still so stubborn?"

After a long moment, she sighed.

"The situation is getting a bit serious now. Should we find a place to hide away from the limelight..."

……

The war situation in the northern countries is tense.

After confirming that the Hero of the South died due to the curse of Todd, the Last Saint of the Great Demon Clan, the adventurers who had lost their spiritual support lost their fighting spirit and suffered various disastrous defeats in the battles, causing panic among the people.

At this critical moment, the team led by the brave Xin Meir was unstoppable and wiped out all the demons wherever they passed, achieving excellent results.

Xinmeier's strength stands out among the heroes, and the monk Haita also performs brilliantly, and he can use the difficult goddess magic in the holy book with ease.

What is even more surprising is the previously unknown elf magician Fulilian.

The demon-killing magic in her hands can be regarded as a special attack against demons. It has a powerful effect of ignoring defense and penetrating, which can destroy a group of demons. Therefore, she is known as the "Bury of Frillian".

After the famous warrior Aize joined the team, the team's reputation saw another surge.

In addition, the fact that the brave team always helps those they meet and clears out nearby monsters has been widely praised by the public. Many people have confirmed that this team can put an end to the Demon King and usher in peace.

After a tough battle, the brave team sat together around the fire.

Although there were many conflicts among the teammates at the beginning, after they got used to each other, they developed a certain degree of affection.

To celebrate Xinmei's twenty-fifth birthday, Aize prepared a huge warrior hamburger steak, one for each member.

During the post-war summary, Xin Meier recalled Fulilian's performance and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Flillian, your demon-killing magic is really powerful. Did you develop it specifically to fight against monsters?"

Frielian paused while eating her hamburger, swallowed the meat in her mouth, and answered.

"No, Luke taught me the night before we set out. He said it was a magic imitating the corrupt sage of the former great demon tribe..."

As she spoke, Fulilian paused for a moment as she recalled the scene before she set out. "I don't think I've told Luke about the investigation yet."

Xin Meier recalled the conversation that was interrupted by the driver impatiently when he was leaving and asked, "Are you investigating something important?"

"……nothing."

Fulilian frowned, seeming a little conflicted. Finally, she shook her head and did not mention the matter in detail. "I'll talk to him when I get back. It won't be long before it's over."

Haita, who was drinking, smiled drunkenly, "After all, the Demon King's Castle is just ahead."

……

The next morning, Demon King's Castle.

Haita, who was holding the holy book, said with doubt in his tone, "This place is emptier than I thought. Shouldn't the Demon King's City be the place where the most great demons gather?"

Along the way, they encountered almost nothing except a few new generation demon generals and a big demon whose strength was only average.

Fulilian, holding the staff, said in a flat tone, "Because this place was destroyed once more than a hundred years ago, the Seven Collapsed Sages and several famous great demons died long ago, and the new generation has not yet grown up." It can be said that this journey was too smooth.

Aize's body trembled, "Who did it?"

As a dwarf, he had seen the demons in their prime when he was a child, and they were indeed much stronger than they are now.

"It's Mr. Luke."

Holding a sword in his hand, Xin Meir looked around cautiously. Even if he didn't find the demons, he remained vigilant at all times.

Passing through a series of wide-open doors, everyone arrived at the deepest room.

"How do I open this?"

Faced with a gate that had no flaws and was completely immune to attacks, Xin Meir was a little troubled.

"I don't know. Lu Ke also stopped here."

Fulilian thought for a moment and said, "If it's from the inside, it should be possible to open it."

Just as he finished speaking, the door vibrated, then made a dull sound and slowly opened.

Astonishing magical fluctuations came from the room. The figure sitting on the throne slowly raised his head, and his scarlet eyes pierced the faces of the four people.

So strong!

They are completely not on the same level as the previous demons!

Everyone was on guard, and had no time to wonder why the door opened automatically. They made all preparations for attack and defense.

"Demons cannot have emotions. The emotions I have are a punishment that keeps me trapped in this small space and tortured."

“But punishment is also a loophole that can be opened if I can overcome my fear of death.”

"Shurahat will fulfill my wish."

The Demon King walked down from the throne, the armor on his body made a metallic clanging sound, and the black sword in his hand emitted a strange light.

"I will not sit still and wait for death. Come on, heroes!"

……

As a trading city, Barum is always busy during the day.

After getting Celia's notes, Luke finally relaxed a little and had the rare leisure time to stroll around the city.

Compared to more than two hundred years ago, this place has become more prosperous, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going and many more shops.

He purchased a large amount of supplies and stopped only after filling up the space-folding suitcase.

In front of the central fountain, his statue had been removed and replaced by an unknown middle-aged man, who seemed to be the current mayor of the city.

The streets in his memory have become extremely strange and no longer look familiar, but Lu Ke no longer hates this feeling. Change is the norm in life.

The sky gradually darkened, and the bustle of the street slowly faded away over time.

After Luke returned to the mansion, he packed his luggage and said goodbye to the current head of the Campbell family.

The contemporary head of the family respected this living fossil ancestor very much and tried his best to keep him, while constantly asking him if he had failed in any way.

"Your arrangement is very good, but I have to leave for a while because of other things."

Luke refused calmly.

When the past vision was completed, he could not see the future. Judging from the performance of the Hero of the South and Celia, it should not be a good thing, so what he should do is to stay away from the crowd.

Luke left the mansion carrying his suitcase, walked through the streets paved with red bricks and cement, through the alleys that were gradually becoming secluded and dilapidated, through the wasteland covered with weeds and thorns, and came to a place surrounded by a barrier and covered with deep and long weeds.

He took out a rosewood staff, and the weeds withered instantly. The sea of ​​flowers bloomed again, and the tombstone that was hidden deep inside was revealed.

Luke spoke in a gentle tone as he gently stroked the tombstone and removed the moss from it.

"Let's do the final completion here."

Shielding magic covered this already deserted area. Luke took out the magic notes given by Celia, absorbed the knowledge bit by bit, and started his journey of magic completion.

……

The brave men who successfully defeated the Demon King returned to the royal city to receive the king's reward.

The reputations of the brave Xinmeier, the monk Haita, the warrior Aize and the magician Fulilian spread throughout the continent, and statues of the four began to be cast in various places.

The royal city was brightly lit at night, and an unprecedented grand banquet was held.

The brave team gathered together and complained to each other about the unreliable aspects of their teammates during the journey, and then everyone couldn't help but laugh softly.

Xin Meier sighed a little, "Although it's all terrible things, it's great to be able to adventure with you. I am very happy on this journey."

Fulilian unconsciously poured cold water on him, "Although it's just a short journey."

Xin Meir did not refute, but showed a complicated expression.

"Yes, although it is a short journey."

Countless meteors streaked across the sky, and the bizarre and beautiful scenery immediately attracted everyone's attention and diluted the melancholy.

Haita sighed: "Half Century Meteor, it's really good as the opening ceremony of peace."

"I see. The magic was done based on this scene."

Xin Meir pursed his lips, and the flame in his heart slowly died out.

After looking for a while, Fulilian commented: "It's hard to see clearly in the city."

"Others are sighing over this, you have a keen eye, don't you?"

"Then wait until next time."

Facing the astonishment of her teammates, Fulilian lowered her head and spoke casually.

"Fifty years from now, I know a place where the meteor shower will look even more beautiful. I'll take you there."

The two humans and a dwarf who was about to enter old age looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.

It was really hard for them to understand what fifty years meant in the eyes of the elves.

……

When the time of separation came, Fulilian said goodbye to her teammates with her suitcase.

"What are you going to do next?"

"There's this nasty creature who wants me to go over to her place and I might have to stay there for a while."

After receiving the message from her master who she hadn't contacted for hundreds of years, Fulilian's face wrinkled up, not understanding what Celie was thinking.

"Anyway, I'll come out in fifty years to watch the shooting stars with you guys."

After saying that, she waved to a few people and left without looking back.

Looking at the elf's figure getting smaller and smaller, Haita poked Xinmei's waist.

"Are you sure you don't want to chase after him?"

Xin Meier's handsome face showed a bitter smile, "Haita, would you fall in love with a terminally ill patient who only has a few days to live?"

"I am a monk, I will not get close to women."

Aize, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "He is obviously a drunkard who only eats wine and meat."

Several people, including Haita, couldn't help laughing. When the laughter died down, Xin Meir shook his head gently.

"That's good."

He looked in the direction where Fulilian had left and repeated, "That's good."
