After a while, the two came to the tree and looked up at the small green tree covered with thorns.

Levi spoke first.

"Hello, hello, is there anyone there? Is there anyone there? If there is anyone, please come out quickly."

"Wouldn't it be helpful to have a tree like this standing on the edge of this battlefield to attract people to you?"

"Now that we are here, why don't you come out quickly?"

Esdeath stood beside Levi without saying anything, but her eyes were vigilantly observing the surrounding environment. The thin ice had silently spread over an area of ​​nearly 100 meters.

"You're really not coming out yet?" Li Wei looked around arrogantly: "Hey, hey, hey, if you don't come out, we'll leave."

After waiting for a while, just when Levi was getting a little impatient and thinking that this might just be a meaningless little tree planted by some bored heroic spirit.

A hoarse voice suddenly came from under his feet.

"I am observing my surroundings. Please be quiet."

As he spoke, a green sprout suddenly sprouted from the ground under Levi's feet. In just a moment, the sprout quickly spiraled and grew, turning into a twisted bunch of thorny flowers.

Then a man wearing a goat-horned mask and a loose black robe walked out of the flowers.

His mask turned slightly, as if looking at Levi and then at Esdeath.

Then he continued in a hoarse and low voice: "My master ordered me to welcome those who want to form an alliance with us."

"He himself is watching from a little distance away."

"I think you are here because you saw the battle just now and felt that we will never win if we don't unite."

Levi stroked his chin and looked at the strange man with horned mask for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke.

“Elias Ainsweiss?”

"The magician of thorns?"

"It's me." The horned masked man nodded without hesitation. "In this Holy Grail War, real names are no longer important, so I can admit that I am the magician of thorns."

"I'm sure the one on your side is the legendary general of the empire, Esdeath."

Chapter 32 Artificial Intelligence Solar Punk

The Wizard of Thorns Elias Endsworthy is the protagonist of the manga and anime "The Ancient Magus' Bride".

The story is mainly about a magician wearing a sheep's skull mask, who bought a young girl with red hair and trained her as a disciple, but this disciple plotted against him.

Because this story is a love manga for girls, Levi naturally has not read it.

I have seen some online reviews saying that it is a healing animation or something like that.

This also means that Elias Endsworthy is a lawful and good person who will not stab others in the back.

--It's stable.

Levi was certain in his heart, and laughed loudly: "Haha, this is the world-famous Ice General, the general of the empire---Esdeath."

"You, the magician, used such means to attract us here. What is the plan? Tell us the general quickly and don't beat around the bush."

"Of course it's an alliance." Elias Enziwas said bluntly, "Your Excellencies, I'm sure you've seen the battle just now."

"It's like a battle between ancient gods, the angels of Jesus Christ and the fiery demons who destroyed the world, just like the holy war that created the world."

"Even though I consider myself a monster far superior to ordinary people, I am still far inferior to those gods. So after discussing with my Master, we decided to find heroic spirits like us to form an alliance."

“I am truly honored that the two Excellencies have responded so candidly to our invitation.”

"Haha." Esdeath grinned: "I just think that even if it is a trap, I am capable of swallowing it and killing all the enemies."

After that, she ignored Elias Enziwas's slight surprise and asked again: "Where is your Master? If the Master doesn't come out, and only asks you, a Heroic Spirit, to form an alliance in person, this is not the right way to form an alliance."

"My weaknesses are exposed to you, but your weaknesses are hidden. I can even use the Command Spell to recall you instantly."

"In the cooperation, only we are put in danger. Of course, such a cooperative alliance is better off not having it."

"Let's go, Master."

"Okay." Levi followed Esdeath happily and pretended to leave.

Elias Endsworth was stunned again, then tilted his head slightly, as if communicating with someone in the distance.

He called out before Levi and Esdeath walked a few meters.

"Your Excellencies, please stay for a moment."

His voice was elegant, and his tone was hoarse and low, "My Master has agreed. Please move and follow me."

After saying this, the thorn magician immediately led the way.

Levi followed at the end, and Esdeath walked in the middle, her hand on the hilt of the saber, her eyes vigilant as she observed the surroundings.

After walking for a while, Levi looked at the ruins around him and felt a little bored, so he asked casually: "I heard that you are also known as the Book of Thorns, and you are a person who likes reading and collecting history. It happens that I am also a person, so I want to ask, after you came to this world, do you understand what happened to this ruined city in front of you?"

"I researched it, but I couldn't find any reason. Whether it's traces of war or monster invasions, they don't exist at all. It's as if this is a city that came out of thin air."

"Do you know why this place looks like no one has lived here for decades?"

Elias Endsworth pondered for a long time, and just when Levi thought he knew it too, the deep, hoarse, magnetic male voice under the sheep-horned skull began to tell the story as if he was reading a history book.

"After arriving in this world, my Master and I went to the library of this city. I know something about what this city was like before it became like this."

"In the center of the library, there is a nearly abandoned mimetic humanoid robot named Yardley, who guards the planetarium in the library."

"When I saw her, she was sitting on the steps at the entrance of the planetarium, welcoming guests at all times."

"I took advantage of the short time to chat with her. Then, I used special magic to read many memories that did not exist in her memory chip."

"From what I have learned, this city was suddenly abandoned 23 years ago. The entire population of the city suddenly disappeared 23 years ago, leaving no trace."

"Yardley hasn't seen any carbon-based life in twenty-three years, let alone humans."

"Afterwards, I spent some nights in the library, reading those paper books that had not been eroded by time. Then I confirmed one thing, that is, in less than ten years, the humans on this planet have abandoned all wars, hunger, plagues, and even death has been greatly alleviated."

"These are the four constraints God has given to mankind, and they have almost completely broken them. Except for Death, all the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been conquered by them."

"Infinite resources and an open social environment have turned this city, and even this country and this planet, into something like a utopia."

“I explored the reasons for the emergence of this utopia and discovered one of the most important facilities for humans on this planet, the Central Agency for Strong Artificial Intelligence.”

"The first is the Energy Central Agency, the second is the Food Central Agency, the third is the Judgment Central Agency, and the fourth is the Dream Central Agency."

"As the name suggests, the first artificial intelligence is responsible for producing endless energy; the second artificial intelligence is responsible for coordinating the production and distribution of food around the world; the third artificial intelligence is responsible for judging and supervising human officials and all human actions. The fourth artificial intelligence is responsible for investing in and protecting people with dreams in society, and enabling all human beings to live their lives in their favorite jobs."

"These strong artificial intelligences all suddenly appeared in the thirty-three years. In just ten years, they established a fair, open and just society with endless energy and abundant food resources that would not let anyone starve to death."

"Everyone takes it as an honor and responsibility to work and contribute to society. This is a world that is close to a complete utopia."

"It's so beautiful, it makes people yearn for it so much."

Elias Endsworth sighed, and then continued speaking slowly.

"But in such a world, twenty-three years ago, everything came to an abrupt end there."

"At the same time, my hometown began to experience the special phenomenon of dimensional fusion 23 years ago. Three years ago, the will of the world found me and decided to make me the protagonist of the world to participate in this Holy Grail War."

"I am a magician myself, so I naturally know the extent to which magicians can go in pursuit of new knowledge."

"So I guess that perhaps twenty-three years ago, the magicians of this world created a Holy Grail War that interrupted the progress of humanity in this world and caused the fusion of dimensions."

"They really deserve to die!" Although the expression could not be seen, the murmur under the horned skull mask and the thorn magician's gritting teeth were seen in the sound.

Levi immediately understood the situation.

It is obvious that the magician's conscience makes him feel regretful about this utopian country.

"How kind." Levi couldn't help but feel emotional.

---The protagonists of positive animations are different. For example, Esdeath is probably thinking about defeating the strong enemy, making herself stronger, and transcending the whole world.

---Esdeath doesn't care about the life and death of the weak at all.

---However, it is precisely because of this that I don't feel any guilt at all.

---Hehehe, bad woman, I love you so much.

Chapter 33 Contract Letter

After talking about this, Elias Ensworthy walked a few steps forward and finally came to an equally dilapidated building.

However, compared with the surrounding buildings that can almost be regarded as ruins, this building is still relatively intact.

As soon as I stepped into the door, a sudden sense of incongruity suddenly came into my mind.

"This feeling?"

Levi shuddered and reacted quickly.

"Is this your magic workshop or magic camp?"

Elias Endsworth stopped, turned around, and said with a hint of apology.

"Yes, my Master is very worried about his own safety, and is willing to meet you two only in my magic camp."

"But please rest assured, I just arrived in this world, so I don't know much about the magic skills here. The magic formation I set up now doesn't have much power. At best, it can only provide some protection for us."

"I cannot forgive this kind of deception. Our agreement is invalid." Esdeath turned around and left without hesitation. Her face was cold and she seemed very unhappy about this deception.

Elias Endsworth quickly stopped in front of her and bowed slightly on his tall body wearing a horned skull mask.

"We are indeed sincere in wanting to form an alliance, and my Master has already prepared his sincerity for the alliance."

He quickly reached out and took out a small crystal and handed it to Levi.

A line of small black words suddenly appeared on Levi's system panel.

[Receive a special gift worth five game coins. Do you want to accept it? ]

"I go!"

Levi couldn't suppress a cry of surprise.

"You are willing to spend so much money, hehe, I will not refuse it."

Esdeath glanced at Levi, and Levi immediately gave her a calm expression.

Convinced that he had gained some benefits, the great general of ice and snow stopped.

"The next time something like this happens, our alliance will be over, and I will be the first to chop off your head."

"Of course." Elias Endsworth responded with a humble bow.

When we arrived at the 3rd floor, the rich smell of magic almost overflowed.

This should be the core of the entire building.

In a fairly tidy room.

A petite little boy, who looked to be no more than 140 cm tall, was sitting cross-legged on the floor.

When he saw Levi coming, he waved and greeted him excitedly.

"Hey, hey, over here."

"Tsk~! Male brat, one of the guys I hate the most." Levi expressed his disgust openly.

But the male kid still had a smiling face and waved and greeted him nonchalantly.

"Don't say that, sir. In this war, although we are all enemies, we are not like the Heroic Spirits, who bear the heavy burden of life and death of the world."

"Although it is important for us to upgrade from one star to two stars, there is no limit to the number of times this can happen."

"At worst, we can just withdraw, pay the fine and leave."

"So there is really no need for us to fight to the death right from the start."

"Dalton Entertainment Space is an entertainment space after all, not a place like the Lord God Space that forces us to die."

Levi curled his lips.

"I don't think you're the kind of guy who lacks game points."

"He gave me 5 game coins right after we met. This is half the value of the main quest in an ordinary one-star game."

"Haha." The little boy laughed exaggeratedly: "I also accumulated many one-star games to have such wealth."
