infinite creative mode

But an illusion is an illusion after all.

Although Lily is a Mage of the Age of Gods, knowledge does not depend on your identity and authority.They are absolutely equal to anyone who wants to understand them. It is difficult for modern magicians to understand the things of the Age of Gods, but it is not so easy for the mages of the Age of Gods to understand the most cutting-edge modern magic, let alone the second method. This kind of thing can be called a miracle in the age of gods.

After a sleepless night, Steve sat up straight after noticing that the little witch closed the book shaking her head.

"What? Is this book a fake?"

"No, it's true. This is the basic idea of ​​the second method."

"Uh, is there something you can't understand?" Knowing that the book is real, Steve felt a little relieved.

"No, except for a few ambiguous descriptions, I have basically understood this book," the little witch waved her hand, "but what is recorded in this book is not the complete Second Method."

"Uh, that means there is a sequel to what the old man gave us?" Steve suddenly felt like hitting someone.

But Lily still shook her head: "No, Master, listen to me."

"Okay, you say."

"I didn't really believe that things of the nature of laws could be expressed in words. Words are things created later. Whether it is divine words or human language, they are just tools of a medium nature, and they are not natural products. It does not belong to the original thing, and it is not even as good as graphics in the sequence of spells. The facts also prove my idea. This book only records the basic composition principles of the second method, which can be said to be the basic theory of parallel world interference ability, but That's all. If you want to say it, it seems that humans discovered [E=mc^2], but it does not mean that it is a nuclear fusion reaction. To fully understand and master the ability to interfere in parallel spaces, we must do a lot of The verification work, the conclusion we finally draw is the second method."

The little witch who has not yet fully withdrawn from the academic state said things that made Steve completely confused. After thinking hard, the Muggle Cube man asked seriously: "Uh, although I don't understand well Understood, but from what I understand, this book is just a reference book?"

"Well, it can be understood like this," Lily nodded, "but the things recorded in it are only from 0 to 1, and we have to complete the next step from 1 to 100, but fortunately we know that it can be completed, It just takes time."

"That's no problem. We have plenty of time. Anyway, that guy didn't set a time limit."

"Well, if it can be faster, I still hope to be as fast as possible," Lily said while standing up, "I want to go to the witch in the library for help, with her help, I should be there soon. Can determine the complete composition of the technique.”

Hearing what Lily said, Steve nodded: "You can have this. I don't know magic here, so I can only work on you alone. Why don't you go to Gensokyo for help, so you can relax."

Facing the serious Steve, the little witch couldn't help turning her face away: "I, I have nothing to do with it! I just hope to finish it sooner."

"Well, okay, then let's go back now." Steve made a gesture and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Lily called him: "Wait, Master just stay here."

"Uh, why?" Steve felt he had no reason to stay here.

Seeing his reaction, Lily couldn't help but sigh: "Master, have you forgotten that you still have the curse cast on you by that magician?"

Steve couldn't help being stunned by these words: "Oh, speaking of it, there is still this matter."

"What a big heart..." The little witch supported her forehead and shook her head slightly, "In addition to interpreting the second method, one more thing is to find out what the spell they cast on you is, so we have to figure out that The rules held by the magician, otherwise we will be very passive, Master, you must figure out this matter as soon as possible. So, come here, fox."

Lily turned her eyes to Yakumo Lan, but Nine-Tailed Fox lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing.

This reaction is normal, Lan only listens to her own master about the order, but the little witch still walked over with a serious face and said in a voice that only two people can hear: "...You stay and assist the Master to investigate this matter .Master is very sharp at critical moments, but most of the time he is careless and easy to suffer. Although I am not reconciled, I am indeed not as good as you in terms of delicate thoughts, so you have to help Master well. This is what I give to you I don’t agree with Yakumo Zi’s scheming, but I do think you are a good woman, so don’t let me down.”

This passage is sharp and condescending.

In the past, Yakumolan would definitely refute, but she also understands how much the little witch made a concession in her heart to say these words.So even though she didn't feel that the other party was praising her, nor did she feel that this was an opportunity given by her, Lan still nodded meekly.

After getting Lan's answer, Lily picked up the magic book, waved goodbye to Steve, and teleported away.

Steve, who didn't hear what the two said, looked at Yakumo Lan: "What did she say?"

"She said I was a nice guy."

"Uh……"

Chapter 534 The Old Man and the River

The branches outside the window swayed gently with the evening wind.

The setting sun passed through the branches, casting mottled reflections on the glazed window grilles, and also dyed the desk in front of the window bright red.

A leaf curled into the room and landed on the pages of the book, making only an imperceptible sound.But it was such a small thing that didn't move, but it also woke up the old man who was taking a nap in front of the desk.His cloudy eyes quickly recovered after a short period of confusion. When he noticed that there was a leaf on the book he was holding in both hands, the old man was slightly startled. on the desk.

At this time, there was a rhythmic and polite knock on the door of the study.

"Master, are you awake?"

"Ah."

After hearing this response, the door was pushed open.A maid who seemed to have stepped out of the Victorian era appeared at the door, beside her was a cart full of food utensils.The silver utensils should be some years old, not particularly bright and shiny, but the exquisite inscribed pattern highlights the texture of metal and time.

"Master, you haven't eaten all day, I have prepared lighter food for you."

"No need," the old man closed the book, "I'm getting old, and my appetite isn't that good."

After being directly rejected by the other party, the maid did not leave immediately.Because she knew that if it was normal, the old man probably wouldn't even answer him.He opened his mouth, but it meant that he still had room for persistence: "No, I think you should eat a little!"

The old man glanced at the maid with a surprised look. He closed the book in his hand, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "...Okay, put it there! I'll take care of it later."

"Okay, sir." The maid nodded, turned around and pushed the cart in.

After entering, she began to arrange the tableware one by one on the small table in the corner of the study. Staring at her back, the old man suddenly asked, "Martha, how long have you been working here?"

The maid's movements paused, she didn't turn around, but said while she was working: "Master, I have been with you for 32 years."

"Oh, it's been so long!" The old man nodded slightly, "I remember you have a child who was studying in George District. Does he still live with you?"

"Ah?" The maid was obviously stunned for a moment. She turned around and gave the old man a strange look, but she still replied truthfully, "Master, are you talking about John?"

"Maybe! I don't quite remember his name," said the old man, shaking his head.

The maid's eyes dimmed slightly: "Sir, please forget! John is no longer here. He died in a school shooting in the second year of studying in the United States. It was you who lent me money to arrange the funeral... "

"Oh... sorry, I'm confused."

The maid shook her head lightly, but said with a concerned look: "No, it's okay, it's been ten years, I don't care anymore, master, you have to take care of yourself."

"I know, I know, I will pay attention, you can go out when you are done."

"Okay, sir."

Afterwards, the only sound in the study was the maid's tidying up, and the silence remained until the moment the door was closed.

After the maid went out, the old man looked out the window for a while, and finally sighed softly.He pulled out the drawer on the right hand side, took out a thick notebook, picked up a quill and wrote in the notebook: "Martha's son, John, passed away ten years ago." And he wrote the year, month and date on the back .

After writing this sentence, he put down his pen and began to read the previous records.

When he turned to the fourth page, he suddenly froze.

The old man's gaze stayed on a line: "Martha's son John passed away ten years ago."

With a bang, he closed the notebook and threw it back into the drawer. The old man clenched his fists and slammed it heavily on the desk...

·

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"If someone sees the powerless appearance of Marshal Mo Dao, I don't know how they will feel."

There are no more than three people in this world who dare to speak like this to themselves. The old man sitting at the desk, that is, Marshal Zellich of the Demon Dao, of course knows who is coming.He glared fiercely at the uninvited guest with sharp eyes: "...Didn't you already see it? Why don't you tell me what you think?"

At this moment, the red-haired woman leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window of the study gave a playful smile: "By the way, aren't you already a human being? Just like that, the great marshal of magic can't win against dementia? If I were a magician of the association, You must be disillusioned with the Magic Association!"

"You are now the magician of the association."

"Ah, that's right!" Aoko Aozaki shrugged, "Well, at least for now. Maybe you will forget me one day, and then I can quietly withdraw from the membership."

Regarding Qingzi's half-truth and half-fake jokes, Zellridge didn't answer her words, he looked up and down the female magician, she looked like she just came back from vacation.

"...Is it over?"

"It's done, it's not difficult." Qingzi took out a blue square from his pocket while talking.

That cube is so pure that it feels unreal, more like an energy body or a virtual projection than a real thing that can fit in a pocket.Qingzi tossed it lightly, and the blue cube quickly flew towards Zellich. The old magician caught the cube with only two fingers with agility that an old man shouldn't have.

Holding the blue cube in his hand, Zellich quietly looked at the unknown energy flowing in the blue cube.

Qingzi, who was five steps away, stared at the other person's expression carefully from the moment he threw the blue cube, but she didn't read any emotion from the old man's face, maybe he hid it too well, maybe he didn't No.So, Qingzi still couldn't help asking.

"Are you sure you really want to do this? Humanity may perish because of this."

Faced with Qingzi's question, Zellrich paused for a moment, then turned his face and asked a question: "What do you think will never perish?"

"No, everything will come to an end, even for a strong man like you, you should feel the deepest about this question, what's the point of asking me?" said Aozaki Aoko.

However, Zellich still did not answer her question, but continued to ask: "If human beings are facing extinction, will you try to save human beings?"

"I only save those I love." Qingzi replied without any hesitation.

Seeing Qingzi's answer, Zellich smiled rarely, but this smile was only to the extent of twitching the corners of his mouth, "Sorry, I asked a stupid question. Although, you also gave a stupid answer .”

Few people would be happy to be told that in person, Qingzi said with a straight face, "Oh? Then I would like to hear your opinion."

"I have saved mankind."

"I know this, don't need to show off your glorious deeds to me."

"I regret."

"..."

The impact of these four words from Marshal Zellich of the Demon Dao was so powerful that Qingzi suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his ears.This old man who has fought for the Magic Association for a hundred years and trained countless elites actually regretted his greatest achievement. If this word spread, it would definitely be regarded as a rumor.However, these words were said by Zellich in front of himself... Could it be that this old man is unwilling to be lonely in his later years and wants to be a big vote?Simply blacken and destroy the world?

Surprise and bewilderment were mixed with a lot of emotions that wanted to spew out, but they were all stuck in her throat, causing her not to say a word.

Of course Zellich saw Qingzi's expression, but he himself was very calm: "Don't get me wrong, it's not what you imagined. This old man doesn't hate humans, nor does he hate this world."

"...I think so too." Qingzi also felt that his imagination just now was a bit too much.

Holding this pure blue square, the Marshal of Demon Dao said in a daze:

"I just... just regret interfering with the fate of mankind. At that time, I was very convinced that only I could save the world, so I did that, but when I think about it, there may be more personal factors involved in it. That Sometimes I just really want to prove my strength.”

"It's normal! Everyone has been young before."

"Yeah," Zellich nodded: "Generally speaking, life is only once, and most people will not and are unwilling to regret the major choices they have made, even if they are indeed true at a certain time and place. I really regretted it. But after seeing so many forms of human society in the past few hundred years, I suddenly felt that even if I didn't save it at that time, human beings should have their own way out, and my salvation might be It just obliterated that way out. Maybe I didn’t save anyone at that time, but just changed the world into what I subconsciously thought should be preserved, and this kind of world is actually not what I hoped for.”

"What do you want? Do you want Zhu Yue to destroy primates?" Cang Qi Qingzi tilted his head, "Did you become a dead disciple for too long, and even your own thoughts are closer to that."

Zellich just shook his head meaninglessly. He didn't answer directly. He just looked at the dusk in the sky and said quietly: "Zhuyue...it's such a memorable name."

Uninterested in Zellich's reaction, Aoko shook his head lightly: "I don't know what you want to do, but I'm not interested either. Maybe you think my answer is stupid, but that's how I am .Okay, here are the things for you, you can do whatever you want to do.” After she finished speaking, she went straight to the balcony.

"Wait a moment."

"What else is there, let's finish it at once." Qingzi looked very impatient.

"If the old man is gone, can the association ask you?" Zellich asked.

This question obviously caused Aozaki Qingzi's back to pause for a while, and she turned her face sideways later, showing a playful smile: "Can I blow it up for you, please?"

"It's up to you, anyway, it's not something the old man can control."

"Ah."

Leaving behind a sneer, Qingzi jumped down from the balcony.

"It's so stupid...I'm a little envious of being so stupid." Zellich sighed softly as he said.

He walked to the balcony and looked down at the castle under the setting sun. Aoko Aozaki who had left was not there long ago, and the white-haired old man was fascinated by the distant scenery.

Originally, this castle was a gift from the King of England. At that time, Britain was still the empire on which the sun never sets.

The balcony here can directly see the sparkling Thames River in the distance. Once upon a time, this river was full of shipping freighters, but now there are only ferries full of tourists left.Time carries everything like water, whether it is suffering withering or prosperity, there will be no trace of dust left in the end...

"now that……"

I don't know how long he was in a trance, the old magician said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Since I have changed my fate once, let me turn the compass of fate again!"

He held up the blue square with both hands.

"Listen, all human beings. When you shine your own desires on the ground, you are sinners called saviors. No matter what era it is, no matter how many years pass by, the apex is determined by the way of life. The truth. Masters of the electronic world summoned by the moon, you all have to prove yourself to be the strongest, and only the strongest wish will be accepted by the Throne of Blazing Heaven—"

In an instant, the whole world was distorted——

--------------------------

Cuckoo, I'm back.

This time it is really back.

Although my overly herniated intervertebral disc is still not healed, but now I can walk around by myself, so it's fine.

I lived outside alone for too long, but my mother brought me back. To be honest, I am disgusted with gnawing on the old, but after tossing myself, I have to realize that someone still needs to take care of me. It is still too much to do it by myself.

Regarding the arrangement of this book, I seem to have said that I would write Chaldea and Cthulhu before, but when I rearranged the outline a few days ago, I found that the pit was still too big. I was confused for a while in the middle of this book , the writing is messy in the middle, and finally decided to finish it and think about it!

Maybe someone has already figured out which copy the plot of this chapter is connected to.

I have extended the characters of Zellich and Qingzi to a certain extent, I hope you don't mind.
