Dominate the world in three weeks?

The old man's affirmation made Terrence even more shocked. If anyone is holding a great relic from ancient times, before feeling ecstatic, the first thing that will arise is shock and doubt.

The old man continued: "After the Great Annihilation, our family stayed in the forest and guarded the temple for generations. The stone in your hand was originally a part shot down from a boulder, and it has been enshrined in this temple for a long time. In a temple. Thanks to it, the elders guarding this tower were more or less affected, and all of them were immortal. Until my predecessor—that is, my teacher— He felt that this thing was ominous, and wanted to throw it away secretly several times. It was more than 100 years ago. An explorer accidentally broke into our village. The teacher took the opportunity to quietly give this stone to that person and asked him to take it with him. Get out—I guess that person should be your ancestor. You see, without this tower, my lifespan is just a little longer than ordinary people, so I can't be a monster now."

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

The two fell from mid-air, the wind element disappeared quietly, and Terrence took out the isolated gemstone from the space ring.

Originated from the boulder that gave birth to countless races and finally destroyed them, what kind of power can such a small gem explode?

——It can even make people live longer.

Terrence stared at the fine lines in the center of the gemstone, remembering the result he had calculated based on the formation inside in one night, which made him shaken.

He originally thought that he had made a mistake in one of his steps, but if this stone really has a power that ordinary people can't fathom——

"So, is it even possible to revive people?"

"What?" The old man's eyes suddenly sharpened, stabbing at Terrence like a sharp knife.

That was a sternness that he had never shown, and years of polishing made it difficult for Terrence not to be unaffected by this sternness.The young Duke stiffened his shoulders almost in embarrassment.

"Mages will always lose themselves on the road of exploration, but I don't want you to be one of them. Don't be too obsessed with this thing, no matter what you get from it, it will not be a good thing."

"No, I..." Terrence gripped the gem tightly, "Maybe I've gotten too much out of it."

He frowned, even he didn't want to believe what he said, but he still asked the old man: "Do you believe that a person's life can be overturned and restarted many times, because of a stone?"

The old man stared at Terrence with wide-eyed eyes, and suddenly reached out and snatched the gemstone he was holding. His old and dim eyes strenuously searched the white stone in his memory, finally sighed, and covered it with dust. Said in a firm tone, "Did you move it?"

"No, it's not me..." Terrence shook his head with his chin tensed, but his shoulders couldn't help trembling. He finally reached out and covered his mouth, tremblingly said: "God, mother..."

Terrence's mind flicked through the past and present in a chaotic manner, but finally left a few bleak pictures.

In the laboratory where both parents died, the only intact white gemstone fell to the ground.

After the award ceremony, he received the jewelry from Borg.

Before his death, only his mother's relics remained on his body.

In the principal's office, the respected old man told himself that his mother had conducted mysterious alchemy research before her death.

Now, these are connected with the stone in front of him, and it becomes a truth that Terrence realizes but cannot bear: the reason why he was able to return to the past twice after death is all because of this piece of stone left by his mother. necklace.And the fact that is more serious than this is——

that night.

Terrence, who was deprived of sleep, raised his head from a pile of scattered papers, frowned tightly and pressed his twitching temples, whispering in disbelief: "No way... how is it possible?"

In Terrence's eyes, the calculation formulas that he drew a bold line below were like monsters with long teeth and five claws, but if someone has studied the ancient life magic books, he would recognize them and history What remains in the book is the relationship between the evolution of those incomplete formulas used to prove that life magic is evil and impractical.

— that is, the Cassandra formula.Excavated in an abandoned laboratory in the city of Cassandra, its complex calculations point to the black magic of "life-for-life".

This formula is only regarded as the mad delusion of the black mage, because the so-called "life for life" needs a medium that can store time and withstand a powerful burst of energy.

But people's research is still at the stage of exploring space magic, and time magic is just a distant dream.

Therefore, the appearance of this formula should be just a mistake in the calculation process, right?

Terrence thought so, but his fingers couldn't help shaking.

What if the calculation is correct?

So, does it mean that my two rebirths are costing the lives of others?

—from the life of dead parents.

In disbelief, Terrence sat frozen in his chair until daylight filtered through his window.

Because Terrence looked as if he would fall down at any time, the old man couldn't say anything more. He asked someone to send Terrence back to his residence, while he looked up at the unreachable top of the tower and sighed for a long time In one breath, with a tone of melancholy or determination that he couldn't tell, he said to himself: "So, destiny..."

When Terrence returned to the cabin, Ivan and Chris were no longer there. He didn't know whether Lanser had settled their feud with Ivan—now his mind was so messed up that he had no energy left Take this into account.

He leaned against the window, hoping that the breeze blowing through the forest would make him sober, but his mind was still occupied by countless complicated thoughts.

Why would mother do such a thing?

Terrence looked into the distance, hoping that his loved ones who had passed away would answer his call.

The magic circle in the gem is independent and complete, and it has become an alchemy item with a magic cycle balance. It is impossible to cause the magical accident that killed both parents at that time.

So why exactly-

Terrence pressed his forehead against the window frame, pushed away all the old things that had been bothering him, and returned to his carefree childhood.

He seldom thinks of those years on purpose, but because he cherishes them too much, he is careful not to forget them.

Those scenes are always full of laughter and laughter in those impressions. Looking back now, Terrence, who has matured a lot, is aware of the heavy atmosphere hidden underneath.

The serious face of the father who has never been smiling and the expression of the mother looking at the father who is hesitant to speak, intertwined in Terrence's seemingly shadowless childhood.

My own, who was always carefully avoided by my father, and my mother's occasional tears became more and more clear.

And as the memory continued to advance, what Terrence saw in the "past" was a night when nothing had happened, and the tired-looking mother hugged her sad look when she came to listen to the bedtime story——

"Never fall in love with anyone else, Terrence."

"……Mother?"

"Love is the most unreliable thing in this world. It is fleeting. If you don't let go of it, you will only be taken for a fool by it."

The author has something to say:

It is difficult for children to have any insights on this topic, but they have the inherent nonsense of children.At that time, Terrence asked: "What if I still fall in love?"

"...Then hold him forever. Terrence, if one day your mother is not by your side, don't be afraid. I will always protect you and never let anyone hurt you."

This memory is actually a little blurry, but the last words of his mother are always engraved in Terrence's heart.Because of this, no matter how many painful things he has experienced, he has been carefully keeping the gem left by his mother, hoping to see the shadow of his mother in it.

At that time, maybe my mother had already learned that my father had another lover outside.Terrence has no way of knowing what happened between them, whether his mother died in love with his father on purpose.

He didn't want to have to investigate clearly.

It is enough for him to know that what his mother left him is all the love of a woman except the hopeless and sad love.

And this feeling is much more important than the training, hurt and betrayal of two lifetimes...

"……Owner?"

Terrence was in a daze, when Lancer, who heard that he was in a bad mood, knocked on the door and came in.

"What's the matter?" Terrence turned around subconsciously.

"I just watched...are you crying?"

Lancer frowned in surprise, and walked quickly to Terrence.He carefully held Terrence's face, and his voice sank immediately: "Could someone hurt you? Who is it?"

"No..." Terrence held Lancer's wrist and denied it, but the other party's undisguised concern and anger made him feel sad, and more tears fell down the blink of his eyes.

Terrence had never cried so uncontrollably in front of Lanser. The blond knight immediately became flustered, and his anger was squeezed out of his mind: "What's wrong with you? Please don't cry. Please tell me if there is anything wrong. , I will help you solve it!"

"It's all right, you're too noisy, idiot!" Terrence grabbed Lancer's skirt, buried his head in Lancer's arms, and didn't want the blond knight to see him in such a mess.

It was as if he had gritted his teeth and endured the pain for too long, thinking that the pain had passed, and finally relaxed, but in the end he cried because someone helped him.

He used to think that his life was nothing but panic and intrigue all day long.But it is not the case.

His mother was like a faint light that led him here, and now, he saw that light again in Lancer's palm.

This chapter has been edited several times and I am not satisfied. I always feel that there is something wrong, but I am already dizzy and dizzy after reading it. Let’s do this for now_(:3∠)_
