Twelve Trials from Scratch

"The Temple of the Fool is one of them."

Rutherford was silent.Although he had voluntarily disclosed information about the Temple of the Fools to the outside world in order to attract all forces from the outside world and to ensure that the night party went as far as possible to the end, but in this situation, he did not want to admit the Temple of the Fools to the person in front of him. The presence.

The Weng of Time smiled, and said proactively: "Mr. Rutherford, as a magician who is good at divination and foresight, I actually know more secrets than you imagine. For example, I am very clear about the location of the Temple of the Fool. at……"

Just as he was about to give an answer, one of the six most petite "people" behind him took a step forward and said suddenly, "Godfather, the other party has already entered."

The golden book in his arms suddenly flashed a glimmer of light, Shi Zhiweng's face changed instantly, and he immediately said, "Where are you now?"

The former lowered his head, "I'm very sorry, the other party covered up his own existence, and we have been unable to locate it for the time being."

"Unable to locate temporarily? Try again."

With a thought in his mind, Shi Zhiweng poured huge magic power into the man's body along his line of sight.Immediately, the latter's eyes brightened, shooting out two ever-changing rainbow lights; the two rainbow lights were intertwined and layered, and a large number of fragments of the picture flashed faintly. After a few seconds, the rainbow lights disappeared, and the latter also spit out a light With a sigh of relief, Xio Nei's magic power dropped a lot.

"how?"

"Sorry, I still can't find the other party's location."

"Oh, it looks like she made the move herself, ready to put all her eggs in one basket."

After Time Weng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Rutherford, "Mr. Rutherford, you also heard that the enemy has sneaked into the academy, and the target should be the Temple of the Fool."

Why?Someone actually set their sights on the Temple of the Fools?Is it true or a trap set by the other party?There is no room for loss in the church, do you want to find an excuse to leave immediately?But Magnus is there and should be able to hold the sanctuary...

Rutherford's thoughts turned, and he was about to continue to deny it, and then looked for an opportunity to leave, but he heard Time Weng said directly: "The location of the Temple of the Fool is at the bottom of the arena, right?"

Damn it, he actually knew it, and he knew it very clearly...

Rutherford frowned, thought for a few seconds, and finally said: "I understand, thank you for coming to remind me, I will pay attention to this, but...why did you do this?"

"It's not enough, your pride is not enough..." Shi Zhiweng didn't answer the question, but said: "You haven't realized how dangerous they are, even you who are called the strongest magician in the [-]th century, and They may not be able to win the battle... Forget it, time is precious, to avoid accidents, let's go to the Temple of the Fool first."

……

On the other side, when the Weng of Time persuaded Rutherford to use the teleportation array hidden in the basement of the villa to go directly to the Temple of the Fool, Su Qi, who sneaked into the academy with the ability to open maps at the plug-in level of the pupil of the real, also found the Fool. the existence of the church.

Chapter 47 No Money Anyway

Inside Valpurgis College, beside the forest walkway not far from the arena, Su Qi was wearing a white shirt, black vest, black trousers, and a student uniform of Valpurgis College, sitting in a long chair illuminated by street lights. Sitting on the chair, look away from the direction of the arena.

"I found a place that is not small in scale and cannot be seen by the pupil of reality. It may be the key to this academy."

"Then let's begin."

Luo Jielier was sitting next to her, gently holding Su Qi's left hand—in order to cover up the existence of both sides, not to be predicted by the enemy, and to minimize the consumption of magic power, the two must act together now.

Su Qi didn't do it immediately, but said: "I will try to save some magic power to maintain my existence later. If it doesn't work, I can end the interference early. Anyway, I didn't plan to sneak in at all this time. I will overturn the table sooner or later, so It’s okay to be discovered by the other party a little earlier.”

Luo Jielier's eyes moved slightly, and she turned her head to look at her companion beside her, her crystal clear eyes were shining with a ruby-like color under the light, "Even if that is the case, it won't last long, is there any difference between earlier and later? "

Su Qi turned his gaze away slightly, not looking at those intoxicating bright eyes, "Because you are afraid that your true self will die from now on, right? Then wait a little longer and see if I can solve it this time, in case it succeeds Woolen cloth?"

"Am I afraid of death?" Luo Jieli lowered her head slightly and murmured softly, "No... I just... haven't fulfilled my promise... I can't die easily..."

Even so, there was a hint of confusion in his tone.She spends too much time living for others, and too little time living for herself, and keeps suppressing her true feelings. Up to now, even she herself has some difficulty in determining her sincerity.

"Don't always think about others..."

Suddenly, a male, broad and strong palm gently pressed on the top of the head.

The sudden movement, the touch from the top of her head, and the faint warmth that could be felt made Luo Jieli startled for a moment.

She is a mutant individual of a certain god-making plan. She was born in a laboratory, grew up on a certain wheel called "Shudi Wheel", and aimed at becoming a god forever. She was born of the ambition of the imperial family at that time, without the slightest warmth Mysterious organization.

Because he grew up too fast, within a few days after birth, he showed wisdom and maturity beyond the average adult, and his strength increased rapidly with the passage of time, so even if he fled later, he joined the Arcane School and the Resistance Army, and met many companions and friends. Even the older ones, no one dared to treat her as a young girl like she looks, let alone touch her head, which can only be done by intimate elders.

At this moment, Luo Jielier's feeling was indescribable, but inexplicably, there was no anger at all, instead, some kind of strange, very strange emotion grew in her heart little by little.She, who has been too independent and rational since she was born, doesn't quite know that such emotions... are called dependence and nostalgia.

Roger Lil has always been strong.Even if she bears the will of millions of people, even if she bears the resentment of hundreds of millions of people, even if she personally destroys two generations of civilization with which she has a close relationship, even if she turns against her closest friend, her will has never been violated by others. Distorted, overwhelmed by rough fate.

Sometimes even she wonders if she is too cruel, but even so, she will be tired and exhausted, and she has something that she has never obtained in her life, but she longs for it deep in her heart.

"It's this time, how about thinking about it completely based on your own mood?"

Su Qi didn't know when he turned sideways, looked into her eyes, and said with serious eyes: "If you really don't have nostalgia for this world, why did you look at the lights of Wanjia with such envious eyes before? "

"I... do I have envy in my eyes?"

Luo Jielier tilted her head slightly, a trace of doubt appeared on her delicate and beautiful face like a doll.

"Can you tell if others are lying? So now I say... I really didn't lie just now, do you think I lied?"

She stared at Su Qi for a while, then shook her head slowly.

"So..." Su Qi withdrew his hand, stood up, and said with a smile, "Just do as I say later, anyway, it doesn't cost money, how about trusting me once?"

Luo Jielier looked at him silently for a moment, finally nodded slightly, and stood up, holding his hand a little harder.

Su Qi looked up at the starry sky and exhaled lightly, "Then, an earthquake is coming."

……

Turning back a little bit in time, at the same time that Su Qi discovered the Temple of the Fool, Weng of Time and Rutherford also appeared directly tens of meters below the arena through the teleportation array, inside the Temple of the Fool.

Under the arena is a huge underground cavity. The entire ground is inlaid with magic gold, depicting a complex and layered magic circle. At the nodes, there are crystal pillars carved with magic energy crystals.

Between the pillars, along the structure of the magic circle, there is a corridor like radiating concentric circles. A large number of self-seeking enemy puppets lay layers of defense belts along the corridor without dead ends. The Temple of the Fool is located among the shining pillars and layers of defense lines central.

From the outside, it is a magnificent building similar to the main body of a church.After entering, the space inside is wide, but not empty. The four walls are filled with lines made of various runes and enchanted metals. A large number of pipes of different thicknesses extend from the ceiling. The lines and pipes extend from the inside to the outside. , the source of which is the great hall in the center of the sanctuary, which is called the "Womb".

The "womb" covers an area of ​​more than one mu, and is completely isolated by a cylindrical crystal wall engraved with countless golden runes. In the center of the complicated magic circle on the floor is inlaid a blood-colored magic stone blooming with a strange red light, and hanging from above There are a large number of placenta-like lines, and the materialized liquid magic power is half full.

A huge baby with pale, translucent skin and purple eyes was curled up, floating in the amniotic fluid-like liquid magic power. The densely packed eyes blinked from time to time, but it looked extremely strange and penetrating.

"Principal, and this is... Your Excellency the Weng of Time?"

Old Man of Time and Rutherford walked out of the teleportation room in the corner of the church. A handsome young man with a slender figure, a silver mask and a black cloak walked up to meet him with steady steps, followed by six people A clever doll that looks like a beautiful girl.

He is Magnus, the student who ranked first in this night's party, the most powerful candidate for the devil this time, a super puppet user who can manipulate six clever puppets at the same time.

In Edward Rutherford's view, although this young man is still a student, his strength and ambition have even surpassed most of the former "devil kings", and he is enough to rank in the forefront of all magicians in the world. The important matter of the Temple of the Fools was handed over to him.

"Has anything unusual happened recently?"

After introducing Weng Shi, after a few polite words, Rutherford got straight to the point.

Magnus shook his head slightly, "Everything is normal, the dean came here specially..."

"According to His Excellency Time's Foresight, it seems that a big enemy is eyeing this place..."

Rutherford said, turning his head to look at the Weng of Time.The latter had left the two of them on his own, walked to the front of the crystal wall, raised his head, and quietly stared at the huge sleeping baby.

"Your Majesty, are you also interested in the temple itself?"

Rutherford walked to the Weng of Time, his eyes flickering and he made a probe.

Valpurgis College is also under the jurisdiction of the Magic Association, and the experimental project carried out in the Temple of the Fool is "artificial soul completion".Although the soul used for the experiment is improved based on the principle of "Eve's Heart", the artificial soul cultivated with the help of the power of the other world is not extracted from living human beings, but the project involving "soul" is in the Magic Association. The rules are undoubtedly the taboo of taboos.

Logically speaking, as the president of the Magic Association and the high-ranking members of the Holy Court, once he knew about the existence of the Temple of the Fool, he should destroy it immediately. The appearance of tolerance, on the contrary, seems to be giving shelter, this kind of abnormality cannot help but make him suspicious.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in it itself. What I care about is whether it can become the power of the savior so that our civilization will not be destroyed."

Shi Zhiweng replied calmly, but there was another voice in his mind laughing wildly.

"Very good, very good, Rutherford did not live up to my expectations. Not only did he make the thing, but he also made it perfectly. The seed of God's soul has been completed, and the incarnation is ready. Just start the ceremony again and use the help of sentient beings The power of thought will open the door to the other world, and the immortal gods will come!"

The voice comes from Yahevi who is in a state of soul connection with the Weng of Time.She is delighted that the seeds planted decades ago are finally growing and flowering as she predicted, with perfect fruit just waiting for her to pick.

The pure spirit body formed by compressing and merging millions of artificial souls was finally created by her after thousands of years. It can swallow power and evolve infinitely. It also has the belief spread by the world's largest religion. The cross of the apostles created by the "Tower of Babel", coupled with the credibility of the old man of time, the world's number one prophet, and the ingenious dolls who are already ready to realize the prophecy vision... The layout of nearly 4000 years is coming to an end, and she His wish is finally about to come true.

On the contrary, Shi Zhiweng's mood became more and more heavy.

But he can't protect himself now, and even his soul is in the opponent's grasp. The last time he deliberately found a chance to let Luo Jielier be born, Yahewei has already raised his vigilance. Anything will be perceived and blocked by the other party first, so they can only obey the other party's orders while praying that the "Goddess of Wisdom" can bring victory to their side.

"Could it be that what your Excellency said is the new prophecy you announced not long ago?"

"Although experiments involving the soul are taboo in the regulations of the Magic Association, I am very clear about the importance of the entire human civilization and a taboo experiment."

"But in Your Excellency's prophecy, isn't the destruction of mankind inevitable?"

"Even so, human beings are definitely not creatures waiting to die. Although I see farther than ordinary people, I am undoubtedly a human being."

Weng Shi said, looked at Rutherford with deep eyes, and said meaningfully: "So now, let us pray for the birth of a miracle."

As the voice fell, the latter was about to answer, when the entire Sanctuary of the Fool suddenly trembled, the liquid magic inside the womb suddenly rippled and dust fell from the ceiling.

Rutherford's face changed slightly, he turned his head to look towards the entrance of the church, and said solemnly, "Someone is attacking?"

Magnus, who was standing next to him, had a thought, and a doll behind him flashed and disappeared, then flashed back a few seconds later, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master Magnus, there is no trace of the enemy outside. , but the shock has spread widely and is still getting stronger, this place may collapse, should we leave immediately?"

Rutherford looked up, thoughtful, "It has a wide range and no one is attacking. Could it be an earthquake? Is it natural or man-made?"

Shi Zhiweng's body trembled, and his eyes suddenly changed subtly.Immediately, he frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, "The earthquake at this time is really too coincidental... Shikoti!"

With a gray cloak on his back, the ingenious puppet of the loli figure immediately activated the magic circuit, his eyes flashed, he stared quietly at the void, and responded after a few seconds: "This suspected earthquake is not natural, but man-made, and it will continue. But it's solid here and won't collapse in a short time."

"Sure enough, it seems to be the means of those people."

Magnus looked at Rutherford, "Dean."

The latter supported the separation wall, stood firm in the gradually becoming more obvious shaking, pondered for a few seconds, and said: "Magnus, you go back first and inform Marceline and Percival that if the earthquake continues , Immediately organize all students to evacuate."

"I understand."

Magnus responded, and immediately led his team of Contributors to the teleportation room.

Rutherford looked at Weng Shi, "Your Excellency, Are you sure the other party's target is here?"

The latter's eyes moved slightly, and he said decisively: "I'm sure, so the current earthquake probably wants to cause chaos and lure us away. Your students should be in no danger."

"Is it……"

Rutherford thought for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, then let's stay here temporarily and see if those people will really attack the door."

……

At the same time, in the dormitory of the college above, in the dormitory where the lowest grade students live, a black-haired and black-eyed oriental boy sleeping on the bed was awakened by a burst of severe pain.

"Lei Zhen... Lei Zhen... I hate it so much... Yeye hates me so much..."

The cold and resentful voice like a female ghost lingered in his ears, and the young man named Akabane Leizhen suddenly opened his eyes, feeling his neck was strangled from behind, his face flushed red, and he was about to suffocate.

He immediately reacted, turned his head to look backward with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "Ye...Yeye...Are you going to...kill me?"
