lost narrative poem

Chapter 806 Everything is ready
"You...you're joking..."

Erica's expression was stiff, and it took a while to realize what she had heard, and forced a smile.

She really hopes to find a solution to the current problems facing the European magic world. First, it is to prevent the collective power of the European magic world from splitting up again. Second, it is also to prevent the terrible possibility of a civil war among the demon kings.

In the past few years, Italy is currently affected by some aftermath, but the United Kingdom has suffered the most direct impact because of the behavior of the seventh demon king who settled in Scotland, and the godslayer named Black Prince, so The subordinate power of the established Wangli Factory is located in the United Kingdom.

God is sorry, the area of ​​Europe is really not that big. There are only so many demon kings in the world, but there are three of them crowded together. How could there be no problems?
Do you think that the Third World War has not happened for a long time, and you want to give all mankind a final trial?

It is precisely because she feels that this situation will definitely be very bad, so she and the power representatives behind her will take action, trying to prevent the bad signs from continuing to sprout before the conflict on the British side... After all, the city gate is on fire , It will also bring disaster to the fish in the pond, so they naturally have to plan early.

But, Erica never thought about driving a demon king away directly!She came here on a mission of probing, and also to find the possibility of a peaceful solution to the problem, not to detonate this powder keg ahead of time, okay?
No one can take on such a responsibility...

Although she subconsciously felt that this should be a mutually damaging behavior between friends, which is actually quite normal, but perhaps because of her knowledge of the God Slayer King, she still looked in the direction of Miss Skaha nervously. , worrying that the mysterious Seventh Demon King, who has not risen for a few years, will get angry because of this matter.

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious, okay..."

Xia Ran explained excitedly, as if a salesman was selling a product, and before the customers could bargain, he himself first lowered the price——

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, this matter is easy to discuss, or take it as my sincerity, and we can talk about it after exchanging terms..."

"..."

"..."

So you mainly want to find a reason to retaliate, right?
At this moment, both Erica and Scatha looked at this man speechlessly, not knowing whether he should be frank or something.

"Sorry, may I ask, why do you want the Word of Calvary? "Erica calmed down and asked, but also to divert the dangerous topic just now, and it would not be good to continue the discussion like this.

She didn't know who this magician who appeared suddenly was, who dared to be so rude in the face of the devil, and even faintly dominated the conversation.

Is it because of their own strength, or because of the deep friendship between the two parties?But no matter what, Erica herself has no such reliance, she can't be careless, she can't go crazy with this person.

"Didn't I say that? I want to get my things back, and I will need them soon..."

The magician said as a matter of course, still the answer.

When Miss Scathach heard this, she couldn't help but take a deep look at him, with a thoughtful look on her brows.She found that this person was always joking seriously, but on the other hand, it seemed that when he was joking, he was very likely to be serious.

So, "Golgotha's Word Spirit" is really his thing?

Could it be that his true identity is actually the legendary Son of God?But no matter how you look at it, it's impossible. She doesn't think there will be such a ridiculous thing.

"You're joking..." The blond girl twitched her lips, and said simply, "If your Excellency wants to exchange this spiritual knowledge, then it is not impossible, but I will go back and consult us for the specific situation. Only the opinions within the Red Copper Black Cross can make a decision..."

She felt that to deal with such a person was to deal with indecency with dignity.

It's the other party's business to be unscrupulous, and serious nonsense is also the other party's business. As long as you don't be affected, grasp the key points, and talk about things at your own pace, it's fine, otherwise, you will be led astray by the other party.

"That's it, it feels a little troublesome..." Xia Ran raised her eyebrows, seemingly in a noncommittal manner.

"This is something that can't be helped. If you are interested, you can return to Italy with me later..." The blond girl smiled gracefully and kindly, "Our Red Copper Black Cross must We are waiting for you, you are welcome."

"Welcome infinitely?" The magician blinked, "I think as long as your magic society doesn't try to drive me away, it's fine..."

"How come, this is a matter of mutual benefit..." The blond girl wondered, "The sharing of knowledge is something magicians are very happy to see. One share of knowledge will not be reduced, it will only become two. , can also be exchanged for other things..."

What's more, the origin of "Golgotha's Word Spirit" is unknown. Although its effect is powerful, it is not unique. In addition, it is difficult and risky to practice. Although it is the secret magic of the red copper and black cross, I don't know which generation it is. Where did the predecessors get the inheritance, but it is not important enough to become an absolute secret.

"What I want is not to share..."

Xia Ran held her forehead and chuckled lightly.

"I've made it very clear that I want to get my things back... Pay attention, I'm taking it back, not asking you to make a copy for me."

The "spirit of Calvary" is indeed his, because he is yesterday, today, and tomorrow.Therefore, in the "past" that may be very long ago, or in the distant "future" that has not yet come, anyway, it is an arrangement that he will leave in the past.

Cause and effect will eventually form a final closed loop, so what belongs to man belongs to man, and what belongs to god belongs to god.

"..."

"..."

"Sorry, can you speak more clearly?" The blond girl was silent for a while, as if she had thought of something, but she was not too sure, and asked cautiously.

"That is to say, what I want to get back is the fundamental thing, which cannot be shared, not only the corresponding knowledge you have mastered, but also everything about its cognition, memory, experience, etc. Regarding the effectiveness of this word of speech..."

The magician said lightly: "You will completely lose this language in the future. Those who have already learned and mastered it will directly lose the corresponding ability and memory, and those who have not been exposed to it will never be able to master it again in the future. .”

"..."

"..."

Erica opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and at the same time feeling a little shocked and terrified.

Isn't this too overbearing?She didn't doubt whether this could be done. There were too many unscientific and anti-commonsense methods on the mysterious side. For example, applying magical influences from the source of the bloodlines caused the whole family to fall into a curse.

Then it is also deprived of certain knowledge and ability from the source, to prevent the possibility of them being mastered by unrelated people, this kind of thing naturally exists.

It's just... This is no longer something that ordinary magicians can do. The top mysterious figures in the world also have to cooperate with the corresponding specifications of the ceremony. From the materials to the magic circle, etc., it takes a long time to prepare to have the opportunity to display it. And it is often accompanied by a very high risk of backlash.

The miracles performed by human beings are divided into magic, rituals, secrets, and curses, and on top of these, there are powers held by the gods.

This also shows that human beings have limits, and human power will eventually be exhausted, so she can't quite understand why this person took such a big risk, just for such a thing - what Xia Ran said belonged to him She didn't believe a word of things.

Could it be... is this also a godslayer?Instead of an ordinary magician?
Such a terrible idea quietly emerged in the blond girl's heart, she felt that it was very likely that this was the case, otherwise, this person would not be able to chat and laugh with the Demon King, and even act like he didn't care about the other party at all, because he himself was in the same situation. Status exists!
This explanation is the most likely...

What kind of secret did you discover?Thinking of this, Erica couldn't help feeling dizzy for a while. Could it be that there are more than just the demon kings in this world?It's just that some people are relatively low-key, so they are not known?
She swallowed hard, and tried to squeeze out a stiff smile: "About, regarding this matter, I... I can't make decisions on my own. If you think it is really necessary, Your Excellency, you may still need us Only when we go back to the headquarters of the association in Italy can we discuss it..."

"Why is it still the same rhetoric? If you don't think it's right, just tell me directly..."

The magician said dissatisfiedly, why does he always have to be perfunctory when he treats people so sincerely?He felt that the little girl's words were full of oppression against him, could this world be better!

"No, the main thing is that this is a big matter, and I can't make a decision alone..." Of course, Erica couldn't admit this kind of thing, insisting on what she said just now, but it was indeed the case.

Xia Ran looked at her suspiciously: "Could it be that you want to trick me to your headquarters, and then while I'm discussing with you, ambush five hundred swordsmen outside the door, just waiting for the negotiation to fail? Sometimes it's just a disagreement, throwing a cup as a sign, rushing out together, and chop me into bean paste?"

"...No." Erica was also dumbfounded.

She just felt that it was definitely impossible for the association to agree to this matter, but she didn't want to provoke the other party now, so as not to suffer an unwarranted disaster, so she delayed as long as she could, and if she couldn't, she invited this person to the headquarters in Italy——

The main reason is that in that case, there is still the "King of Swords" of their forces sitting in southern Europe, so there is no need to worry too much even if the talk falls apart.

That's it.

It never occurred to her that there would be five hundred knives ambush outside the door. How could she be so bold, and the Red Copper Black Cross is not such a barbaric association at all, is it?
"Forget it, then I will go with you..." The magician didn't care, and waved his hand to show that he is not an unreasonable person, "It's just that this matter is not to be discussed. If you want to get it back, you have to return it to me..."

"..."

"..."

This man is really too tough. Erica suddenly regretted why she chose to come to the Isle of Skye to meet the Seventh Demon King today. If she didn't come today, she would choose to wait for her uncle to come back. If you set off, you may just avoid this trouble.

Perhaps it is also urgent to prove that she can stand on her own. After all, as the talented girl of the Brandry family, she is placed under great pressure while she is under great pressure. She is eager to do something independently and prove her own strength. ability.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then asked, "Your Excellency, I don't quite understand. If you want the "Galgotha's Word Spirit", we can discuss it carefully and complete the exchange. You don't have to...you don't have to be so overbearing. "

He hesitated for a while, probably looking for a tactful excuse, but she didn't think of it for a while, so she said it anyway.

"Hey, am I overbearing?" the magician asked suspiciously.

What do you say?The three words of bullying will be written on the face.

The blond girl tried her best to restrain the urge to roll her eyes. She clenched her fists several times before suppressing some emotions surging in her heart: "Why can't we have a peaceful talk? Knowledge can actually be shared. Bar?"

"Unfortunately, it can't..." Xia Ran said leisurely, "I don't know if you have discovered, but in fact, there are only twelve people at most who can master the "speaking spirit of Calvary". "

"Huh?" Erica was slightly taken aback.

She quickly recalled about this issue in her mind, but she was a little confused for a while. After all, no one has paid attention to the rules in this area. The internal records of the magic association are at most based on time and date. Got this advanced magic thing.

But no one has seriously counted it, and found out whether there are at most twelve people who can master this language at the same time.

"That's right, as long as the number of 12 people is met, it is impossible for new people to master this language until someone among the [-] people deletes their account and retires, because the seats are already full..."

The magician nodded.

"And if you can find out, you will find that during the same period, the No. 12 people who mastered the spirit of speech must be spies of other magic associations or forces."

"Twelve saints? No. 12 is a traitor to the seller?"

The blond girl understood immediately.

"Those who look up to the Tao strive for it, and those who follow it are immersed in it. They all know what they know and the way they don't know. I have often heard that it is not people who are diligent in seeking knowledge, but those who know are diligent in seeking others. But I know its fallacy. Those who know do not seek others. , In fact, they come out and chase people away. Those who are deeply ruthless are like eagles and dogs chasing rabbits."

Xia Ran smiled, and said in a calm voice: "Do you understand? It was never you who were learning to master its power, but it was chasing you crazily. Its pursuit was cruel and emotionless, just like the falcon and like a hound catches a rabbit."

"This……"

Erica opened her mouth, and her gaze became a little dazed for the first time. She felt that she didn't understand, and then felt that she understood.

There is a certain kind of heterogeneous fear quietly sprouting in the bottom of my heart.

How is this possible?
"It is indeed a piece of knowledge, but it is not information that can be recorded by simple words or patterns, but a magic with will that I wove in order to understand true wisdom. It is an intellectual body with intelligence, and it is a living knowledge."

The person in front of her stared at her lightly, and continued to speak calmly:
"Fa has Yuanling, following its own characteristics, it will always divide itself into twelve parts, and reside on different people at the same time according to their characteristics, so that they can exert a very small part of the power and nature of the speech spirit, only this That's all..."

"Whether it is you or others, it is not because of your own understanding or learning ability, understanding and mastering this knowledge, but it has selected you and allowed you to temporarily obtain its lodging and its points like wearing armor. ability."

"And now, I'm taking it back."

"..."

"..."

"You, who are you?" The blond girl couldn't suppress the trembling of her body and mind, her eyes were frightened and even fearful, and she finally opened her mouth to ask such a question.

……

……

"Me? I am the first and the last..."

The curtains were gently blown by the hot summer wind, revealing the clear blue sky at one end of the rapidly floating clouds.In the scorching heat, pedestrians quickened their pace one after another, the blades of the power generating windmill reflected the scorching sunlight, and there was a spaceship floating in the sky.

There is a huge screen on the belly of the spaceship, and today's Academy City news is quietly displayed on the screen.

The magician standing by the window smiled lightly, as if he was remembering some past memories, and seemed to be answering someone's question, as if he was muttering to himself, but also seemed to be talking to no one Generally speaking, speaking softly.

And watching all this through the air loop, the man hanging upside down in the windowless building also fell silent.

Was that just an illusion?

For a moment, he seemed to see "infinity" overflowing from this person's eyes, obliterating the whole world in the long river of time.
