Chapter 7 We Are Thieves
Shaun stayed.
He watched the butcher's figure leave. Although he had the urge to flee, he knew he had to stay.
Because he has no strength, it will be difficult for him to survive.
The Great Detective-Mortilaine was still staring at him, those indescribable illusions.
"Sit here."
Ms. Hecate put down the book in her hand. She stared at Xiao En in front of her and said softly: "I will take half an hour to teach you every day from now on."< br>
"The rest of the time, you read by yourself."
"My maid will tell you what books you can and cannot read."
Xiao En nodded respectfully Said: "Okay. Madam."
Ms. Hecate nodded slightly, then raised her hand gently, an illusory gray-white mist emerged, and gradually condensed some character patterns. Different from her old face, this lady's fingers were white and slender, and her skin was like that of an eighteen-year-old. girl.
"Lesson 1. Magic."
Ms. Hecate's voice was cold and stern. She said in a concentrated voice: "This world once had normal magic, but after the fall of the world, magic Contaminated.”
Polluted?
Xiao En raised his head in surprise.
"The essence of all power has been distorted, and knowledge has become a living thing." Speaking of this, Ms. Hecate stared at Xiao En and said slowly: "You should understand this deeply."
Great Detective-Morty Lane.
That living knowledge.
“If you want to use magic, you must learn to control living knowledge, because they are a resource.” Ms. Hecate said softly: “Magic, witchcraft, witchcraft, etc., all spells are cast. It’s all closely related to knowledge.”
“Knowledge will teach you magic.”
"If you don't understand this, you will get lost sooner or later."
Xiao En nodded silently. The butcher had warned him that this lady did not like others to interrupt her.
“The essence of power in the world was taken away by some indescribable ancient beings.” Ms. Hecate continued: “Supernormals must take it back if they want to use these powers.”
< br>“But before that, you must first learn to steal!”
Steal?
Xiao En's brain is a bit exhausted.
"Yes. Steal." Ms. Hecate also seemed to have the ability to read thoughts. She whispered: "Those sleeping ancient beings are not aware of our theft. As long as you are enough Be careful and you can steal part of it."
Xiao En couldn't help but ask: "How to steal it?"
Ms. Hecate said calmly."
< br>“Their existence is very special. Even when they are sleeping and unconsciously, they will automatically respond to specific rituals.”
Xiao En was silent for a moment and said cautiously: "What if they wake up?"
Ms. Hecate seemed a little surprised that Xiao En would ask this question, and thought for a while and said: "That is a disaster ."
"But as long as you don't face them directly, the power you have is still there."
"It just doesn't work on them and their families."
Xiao En felt a hint of despair inexplicably, but it quickly disappeared. He hesitated and said: "These extraordinary powers don't belong to us?"
Lady Hecate was silent.
She had noticed that the young man in front of her was troublesome. It should be said that it was very troublesome, because few people would ask this. She said softly: "Yes."
"In your case Before the essence of these powers is taken back, it does not belong to us."
Xiao En chewed the other party's words and murmured: "Take back?"
Ms. Hecate seemed unwilling to continue this topic. , said softly: "You will know when you embark on the road of destiny in the future."
It’s destiny again!
What kind of existence is destiny in this world?
"Extraordinary people are all poor people struggling to survive in the cracks."
"Living on a little stolen power."
Ms. Hecate is a bit meaningful. Said: "Only by embarking on the path of destiny can you have the power that truly belongs to you."
despair. Xiao En really felt despair and fear now, although it disappeared quickly.
"Your talent is very suitable for becoming a spell caster." Ms. Hecate said softly: "Compared with other extraordinary paths, the situation of spell casters is much better."
“At least in most cases, you don’t have to worry about your abilities being ineffective against certain beings.”
“As long as you can control knowledge.”
Xiao En was silent for a while.
After a long time, he bowed his head respectfully and said: "Please teach me!"
Ms. Hecate showed a hint of appreciation when she heard this. She stood up and said: "The power of magic Although it is distorted, the essence of the world is still there, but the way it operates has changed."
"Although we are a group of poor people struggling to survive, using a little stolen power."
"But."
"Ants also have the possibility to take back everything!"
"This is the destiny of mankind!"
"Before you complete your upgrade, before you advance to the legend of destiny, you must keep one thing in mind , your power was stolen, and you must hide from the master who possesses the essence of these powers!”
What have the humans in this world experienced?
Xiao En didn’t dare to think about it.
Ms. Hecate stood up gracefully. When Xiao En raised his head, he was surprised to find that the appearance of the lady in front of him had changed drastically. She no longer looked like an old woman, but a bright and beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. A beautiful girl with extraordinary charm, even her voice became as clear as an oriole. She stared at Xiao En in front of her and said softly: "Come with me."
"I'll teach you how to do it first. Be a qualified thief."
Beyond the high wall.
The butcher did not leave. He stood outside the gate and waited quietly.
“You arranged for Ms. Hecate to be his mentor?” A beautiful girl as delicate as a doll emerged from the shadows.
The butcher didn't even raise his eyes and nodded: "Yes."
The doll girl's expression was a bit unbelievable and she whispered: "So, what's the price?"
The butcher's expression was silent and he spoke in a deep voice. Said: "This is not what you should ask."
The doll girl breathed quickly and said in a serious voice: "Let a demigod on the path of death be his mentor. What do you want to do?"< br>
The butcher said expressionlessly: "Do what you should do."
Parted on bad terms.
The delicate doll-like girl turned and left, but at this moment the butcher took out the original ceremonial dagger. He threw it directly and said: "Go on."
" He has no use for this thing.”
The doll girl didn’t even look back, and immediately caught the ceremonial dagger.
"From today on, I will be responsible for everything about him." The butcher paused and said solemnly: "This is also the chief's arrangement."
Speaking of which.
The butcher looked up at the majestic black obelisk in the distance. The obelisk reaching into the sky represents the highest glory of the road of death.
It wasn’t until the figure of the doll girl disappeared that the butcher took out a rusty dark red emblem with a simple five-pointed star array engraved on it, with wheat ears dotted with star patterns. , with an ancient inscription engraved on the back saying - "Death is our choice, death is the last refuge of mankind."
The butcher whispered: "Only death can fight against them."
Of the twelve mythical paths, only the path of death has the ability to fight head-on with the old ones.
The talent displayed by that young man was unprecedented. Very few souls from other worlds had the supernatural ability of an upgraded person just after being reborn.
Among all the mythical paths of extraordinary beings, only the path of death can suppress most of the pollution. Although this requires a huge price, it is extremely suitable for those souls who are born different.
"Immortal will."
"He is still a living person, but he possesses part of the will of the undead."
"The chief's experiment may have been successful." The butcher's eyes were dark.
