Chapter 206 Arrangement and Rejection
In recent decades, the activities of the demons have become more frequent again.
Starting from Erd in the northern countries, it was observed that the upper limit of the new generation of demons has been upgraded from generals to great demons, and even the great demons among the remnants of the old era - the Saint of the End - have appeared. Female Todd.
After learning from the new generation of demons that the Demon King was still alive, the Royal City re-launched a project to receive brave men and provide initial start-up funds. For a time, countless brave teams gathered again, and the adventurer profession became active again. .
It seems that no matter what era or experience, combatants will always be indispensable.
......
Even if all the prerequisites are in place, the progress of research and development in the past is still extremely slow.
Based on the current progress, Luke estimates that it will take at least seventy or eighty years.
This point in time is very subtle, because future vision happens to be unable to see the future at that point in time. Obviously something big is happening.
“I won’t die by then.”
He assumed the worst, after all, people who died naturally had no future.
In the room, the sleepy Fulian buried her head in the magic book, unable to keep her eyes open. The reversal of day and night schedule made the always lazy elf a little confused.
“This reminds me of when I was studying flying magic.”
“Flying magic is not that difficult.”
He glanced at the sleepy teacher, "You have worked hard these days, go back and rest first."
"No, the current project is almost completed. If we figure out the speculation method of future vision and then reverse it, we will have the basic theory of past tense. Although the completeness is far away, we can see hope.”
Fulillian yawned and forced herself to look at the markings and notes on the future vision manual, but her eyelids still closed uncontrollably. , and finally the whole person lay on the table and curled up into a ball.
After she fell asleep with her breathing steady, Luke glanced behind the door and said lightly: "Come in."
The door was slowly and quietly pushed open, his posture tall and straight, The handsome young brave man Xinmeier walked in carefully on tiptoes and nodded a little cautiously to Luke.
"Good evening, Mr. Luke."
He spoke softly and softly, as if he was worried about disturbing the sleeping elf.
"Don't be so careful. You can't wake Fulian up if you don't make any big noises after falling asleep."
"I know."
That's what he said After saying that, Xinmel still thoughtfully covered Fulilian with a blanket, his eyes couldn't hide the admiration. After a moment, he set his eyes on Luke, and his expression became solemn.
"Mr. Luke, I have something to tell you."
Luke put down the magic book in his hand and put it back where it belonged, and stood up neatly, "Hurry up."
The two walked to the corner of the courtyard. Luke sat on a bench and admired the moonlight that had not been seen for a long time. He took this opportunity to relax his tense nerves.
It had been a while since he had admired the moonlight, probably about ten years.
"Mr. Luke, don't you feel tired from studying magic in the study room all day?"
Simmel asked with concern.
Ever since he got to know Luke and Fulian when he was young, he could always see the two of them sitting in the study room all day long.
“Fortunately, it’s a pleasure to have something to do.”
Now he likes reading more than when he was young, because knowledge is eternal.
The kingdom will be destroyed, the family will decline, and the sea will turn into mulberry fields, but the knowledge in the mind will be eternal.
Lu Ke replied calmly, "You didn't call me out just to care about my body."
Simmel hesitated for a moment, but chose to confess.
"Mr. Luke, I would like to invite Fulilian to join my brave team."
After listening to Simmel's words, Luke nodded, "I understand, there are other "
"You don't object?"
Simmel was a little surprised and at a loss.
Although Luke and Fulian had a simple relationship between students and teachers, they were both elves and spent all day together. At first, he thought the two were lovers and felt sad for a long time.
Later he learned that there was nothing between the two, and he always regarded Luke as Fulian's guardian and respected him very much.
"You have had extraordinary fighting talent since you were a child, and now you are very powerful. Haita is also a monk who can be called a saint, and your auxiliary abilities are amazing. I feel relieved to have you two protecting Fulian."
Simmel nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your trust, I will take good care of Fulian."
"You still want to take care of her for a lifetime, right? A human lifetime."< br>
The sudden words made Simmel’s smile freeze on his face, his face turned red, but he couldn’t say anything to refute.
"You...can you see that? I thought elves were as ignorant of feelings as Frillian."
"Elves are not demons, elves can also cry and laugh. There will be noisy things, there will be things you like and dislike, but the mood swings are not as big as humans."
Lu Ke rubbed the small bottle on his chest, "I am a bit more special."
< br>Xinmel slowly recovered from his surprise, and then asked a little uneasily.
"Then what do you think of my feelings?"
"If it were before, I would probably be happy to match you."
Lu Ke lowered his eyes and looked at the hazy moonlight, "But for now...just do what you think is right."
He was not going to deny the time he spent with Terela, but the lifespan of elves and humans was indeed an unsolvable problem. , so the choice depends on the individual.
But according to him, Simmel in this life will most likely follow the same path as in the original work.
The gentle character will make Simmel consider the mood of others more. In order not to make Fulilian sad after his death, he will probably watch silently without saying anything.
Don't form a relationship, it will only increase sorrow.
Simmel should also have thought about this problem, with a little loss appearing on his immature face.
Looking at the appearance of Simmel, who was still mostly a child, Luke thought for a moment and snapped his fingers.
In the sky, countless dazzling meteor clusters with blue tail tails appeared. The meteors fell like silver ribbons, spreading bright silver colors on the dark canvas.
"So beautiful."
Simmel's eyes were attracted by these meteors, "Mr. Luke, is this your magic?"
"Well, the magic of creating a meteor shower."< br>
Lu Ke also silently looked at the seemingly endless meteor shower in the sky, "It is essentially a visual deception. It is just the illusion of flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. It is not a powerful magic."
Xin Meier shook his head in disapproval and said in an extremely serious tone: "But I don't see any falseness at all. You must have put a lot of thought into this magic. I think this magic is amazing."
He Lu Ke was startled by his words, then he smiled softly and stretched out his hand to rub Simmel's head.
“Originally I wanted to comfort you, but I didn’t expect to be comforted by you in turn.”
“Simmel, you will become a great brave man.”
At this time, Simmel was no longer modest and nodded confidently.
“I think so too.”
...
Time passes, and it will soon be the day for the brave team to set off.
The talented brave swordsman and the young and promising saint monk formally invited Fulilian to join them on the road as a magician in the team. Early in the morning when the team left Barum, Luke came to Fulillian's room to help her pack her things, so as to avoid inconvenience for the lost elf when she went out.
"Is it really okay?"
Fulillian, who was enjoying herself, asked Luke with her head propped up.
"If I leave, the process of magic research will not be interrupted."
"No, the basic principles have been almost figured out. Your absence will only delay it for a while longer, and It’s only ten years.”
While answering, Luke stuffed the magic books in his inventory into Fulian’s suitcase to help her pass the time during the journey, and also put some commonly used daily necessities inside. .
"How do you know it's ten years...oh, future vision."
Fulilian nodded her chin thoughtfully, sighing in her heart that this magic is so useful.
After looking through the suitcase, Luke was speechless and smacked his lips when he saw the shriveled money bag.
Obviously she got a lot of property after studying flying magic, but Fulian spent it all at an extremely fast speed, using it all to buy magic, magic tools, and some weird things.
After filling the money bag with a lot of gold coins, Luke expressionlessly took out the potion that could melt clothes.
“Who asked you to bring this?”
“Master said that as long as you give this thing to men, they will be very happy. I plan to give it to my teammates on their birthdays. ." Fulilian shook her feet on the bed and answered casually.
"Tela said that she used it when she was pursuing you, and the effect was quite good."
Lu Ke's movements froze for a moment, and then he took the potion away as if nothing had happened.
“You are not allowed to take this with you, you are too young.”
“You are not even a fraction of my age, Lu Ke.”
Luke skipped this topic and continued to warn, "If you are on the same team, you must learn to accommodate others, don't stay in bed all day, and remember to behave reliably."
Fulillian blinked, "I don't Is it reliable?"
"In terms of magic, you are very reliable most of the time. Just don't rush over to the treasure chest when you see it."
Lu Ke sighed. "I clearly have a magic book for you to identify treasure chests, why are you always eaten by the treasure monsters."
"Magic also has errors. That magic is only 99% accurate. The great magic user They are all geniuses who dare to fight for the 1%."
Fulillian was not ashamed but proud of being swallowed by the Mimic.
“Just because the failure rate is 99%, should we ignore the 1% possibility of success?”
Lu Ke: “…”
If someone designs A group running game has only two possibilities: great success and failure. It is estimated that no one except DouM will play it.
“Anyway, have a nice journey.”
After lingering for a long time, the coachman who was not far away looked impatient. Simmel and Haita also waved to the two of them. Luke put the people and the boxes on the carriage.
"Fulillian, please take care of her."
Luke nodded to the two of them.
Simmel replied seriously, "Please rest assured, I will definitely let Fulilian come back safely."
At this time, Fulilian seemed to have thought of something and stuck her head out of the window.
"Ah, by the way, there is something I have forgotten to tell you. I investigated it before..."
The coachman, who had been waiting for a long time, waved his whip when he saw that everyone was ready. The frightened horses immediately began to run, blocking Fulian's words.
Luke squinted at the gradually smaller carriage, turned back and started packing his things.
The progress of the research will indeed be delayed because of Fulian's departure, but he does not intend to waste time. Instead, he will find an assistant who is more proficient in theory and has a richer knowledge base.
Fulillian’s master, the origin of human magic, Flame’s master, the ancient elf Celie.
That being was supposed to come out and establish a new magic association at this time, but due to the butterfly effect he brought, the new magic association has been spontaneously established.
But it doesn't matter. He has future vision and it is not difficult to find someone.
But before setting off, an uninvited guest interrupted his trip.
With his resolute eyes, his elegant mustache, and his physique that makes people feel powerful just by looking at him, Lu Ke was blocked in his path by people who praised him in various newspapers and word of mouth.
The Brave of the South!
This powerful warrior who single-handedly fought against the Seven Bengxians and Shorahat in other world lines, and was able to kill three of them and die together with Shorahat, suddenly suddenly Stopped in front of Luke.
"The father of classical magic, the great magician who invented many magics, it has been a long time coming."
"The Brave of the South, the great hero who ended the war between the nations, I have heard your name ."
Lu Ke looked at him calmly, "You don't look good?"
The brave man's face turned black, and his whole body was enveloped by a black air. Large drops of sweat fell from his forehead, like a physical curse eroding his body.
"This is the curse placed on me by Todd, the Last Saint of the Great Demon Clan."
The voice of the Brave of the South was a little erratic, as if he was enduring great pain at all times.
“She spent hundreds of years casting an invisible curse on this planet. In order to prevent the curse from being detonated later, I killed her and absorbed all the curses on myself.”
The magic of the big demons is almost miraculous. It does not mean that they can be cracked if they are strong enough. It is difficult to win without a targeted plan.
Lu Ke listened solemnly, "You should go to the sanctuary immediately to find the best monks to help you purify the curse."
"It's useless."
South of The brave man shook his head, "I have been there a long time ago, but the curse accumulated over hundreds of years is too strong, and even the archbishop can't do anything about it."
"So why did you come to me? I can only do simple things." The healing magic is not even comparable to that of ordinary monks."
The brave man of the south smiled twitchingly, "I am not here to seek treatment, but to find relief."
"You want me to kill you?"
Luke frowned. This reason didn't seem to be very sufficient. The Brave of the South could have found someone else.
"Besides that, I also want to talk to you."
Although he didn't know what the brave man of the south wanted to say, but out of respect for his great achievements, Lu Ke said He gestured with his hand to speak as he pleased.
The Brave Man of the South forced a smile, "You may not believe it, but I always admired you when I was a child. I dreamed of becoming a magician and flying freely in the sky."
" But suddenly one day the war broke out, and the war between the countries continued. I saw countless corpses and countless blood, and then I looked farther and farther away for some reason. "
"I saw a brave man who put down the war and restored peace to the world. He turned his head and I found that he looked exactly like me, so I followed his trajectory and overcame the difficulties to complete the picture I had seen. ."
Luke became a little impatient when he heard this, "If you have anything to say, please say it directly."
The brave man of the south smiled bitterly because of the curse.
"Your Excellency Luke, I just want to say that sometimes following fate is not a bad thing. What do you think?"
He looked at Luke with a complicated expression, "Please, please Go back, don’t try to find anything, don’t study that magic anymore, everything is the best arrangement.”
Luke chewed the word "arrangement" and the rosewood staff appeared in his hand.
With the long sigh of the brave man of the south, the great hero who was tortured by the curse was freed from the attack magic.
"I refuse."
Happy National Day
