I weave fate in parallel time and space

The banquet had just entered the middle stage, and people's enthusiasm was getting higher and higher under the influence of alcohol. Even the old alchemists who were still reserved joined the dancing crowd under the stimulation of alcohol.

At Tony's signal, the group of androids changed the music to a pas de deux dance.

The banquet was held by Tony to welcome his wife and daughter, so it was natural for him to dance a pas de deux to enhance his relationship with Pepper. The others around him also quickly found their dance partners.

Eugenia pulls Alicia, and Isabel is invited by Martin to be his dance partner.

This dance is not much different from the cheerful Scottish dance just now. It also has a brisk rhythm, so it is a bit more difficult than social dancing.

Magicians in the magic world are essentially human beings. As long as they are human beings, they will socialize, so there will naturally be banquets. These people present are all high-level people in the magic world, and they are naturally indispensable for various banquets, so they Her dancing skills are not bad either.

Arthur had been holding a wine glass, standing in a corner like Char, looking at the people at the banquet with a smile, and also looked at Char who was eating the buffet with a plate.

Xia Ya seemed to have noticed his gaze, and raised the wine glass in his hand to return the favor.

At this moment, Arthur is completely different from the boy who longed to attend the Dionysus Festival in the past. He likes quietness and dislikes excitement. He is calm, wise, and has a clear view of the world. He is becoming more and more like Char.

This may also be because Char is the existence that has the greatest influence on his life.

Arthur turned his head and saw Joan of Arc standing at the foot of the tree holding a plate, but compared to how leisurely he and Char were, she looked a little at a loss.

In fact, during this period of getting along with her, Arthur discovered that she was a very introverted girl.

Although she once led the army of one country to fight against the invasion of another country, in a sense, it was fate that pushed her forward.

As her fate comes to an end, she also returns to a part of her essence: an ordinary girl from a remote rural area.

She likes herding and being with animals, and is very good at communicating with animals, but she is not very good at this kind of lively banquet. She wants to join, but she doesn’t know how to join, so she seems very at a loss. .

Not to mention that she was currently dancing a pas de deux, and she actually didn't know anyone present except Char and Arthur.

It was naturally impossible to invite Xia Ya. His status was too special, and she didn't have the courage.

Arthur silently placed the wine glass in his hand on the long table in the middle, walked slowly towards Joan of Arc, and stood in front of her.

Under Jeanne's stunned expression, he smiled, put his left hand behind his back, turned his right hand in a circle, and at the same time stepped on the ground with the toes of his right foot toward his left foot, waved gracefully, and bowed.

"May I have the pleasure of dancing with you?"

Arthur's actions obviously frightened Joan of Arc. She had never attended a banquet, so naturally she didn't know how to respond. Was she talking?Or nod?Or just extend your hand?She doesn't even know.

Not to mention that the gentlemanly and standard invitation action of Arthur, who was born in the royal family, made her feel even more embarrassed, and she was afraid that her inappropriate response would make a joke.

"I, I." Jeanne's face turned red and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Arthur didn't care, he smiled, "I'm too old, do you dislike me?"

Jeanne was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I just don't know what to do."

"Just hold out your hand." Arthur smiled.

Joan of Arc nodded, but then, the changes in Mr. Mercer in front of her made Joan's eyes, which gradually calmed down, tremble slightly.
Under Joan's gaze, his pale hair became more shiny and regained its original color. The wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, and his height became much taller - he was gradually becoming younger.

Soon, a young man with short flaming red hair and green eyes as transparent as the sky stood in front of her.

There was still a smile on his face, and under the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, his smile was so gentle and sincere, just like the sunlight shining down.

Jeanne's eyes gradually became filled with a hint of loss.

However, Arthur repeated the action just now and stretched out his hand to her.

"Beautiful lady, may I have the honor to dance with you?"

"you"

"Everyone has their youth, right?" Arthur laughed.

Joan of Arc nodded and continued, "I'm not very good at it."

"Don't worry, I will teach you." Arthur whispered.

Hearing this, Jeanne plucked up the courage to extend her hand.

Arthur led her to the grass.

"Hold my waist and follow my footsteps. If I step back, you will move forward. If I move forward, you will move back."

Joan of Arc nodded, then she hugged Arthur's waist and followed Arthur's steps. Although she stepped on Arthur's feet a few times, Arthur always taught her patiently.

She has good athletic talent and strong body control, so it was no problem to learn this dance with repetitive movements, and she was able to dance decently in a short time.

Dancing is a human instinct, and dance movements come from life. Whether you can dance or not, when your feelings reach a certain level, you will start moving.

When music plays, even people who can’t dance will clap along with the music. It is the language of expressing emotions with the body!
When music and body come together, it is a very pleasant thing.

As Joan danced to the music with Arthur, she gradually began to feel the fun, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Life is neither short nor long, but if you are not brave enough, no matter how long your life is, it will only be a repetition of misses and regrets." Arthur said softly, "You are no longer carrying the burden of a country. Destiny, so relax and enjoy the rest of your life.”

With these words echoing in Joan of Arc's mind, ripples appeared in her heart, and she nodded with some emotion.

"Thank you, Mr. Mercer."

Arthur smiled and said no more words.

"Write to drink up, read to cheers!!!"

On the grass, someone shouted, and the crowd suddenly burst into cheers in response.

They excitedly raised the wine glasses in their hands, the music became more rhythmic and cheerful, and they even danced without any rules.

Alicia and Isabel also blended in. Their faces were reddish and they were already drunk. Although magic could speed up their metabolism of alcohol, they did not. They just enjoyed this feeling.

Alicia glanced through the noisy crowd and saw Char standing aside, holding the Holy Grail and drinking wine.

She walked through the crowd and came to Xia Ya, stood up on her toes and kissed his cheek, looking at him with smoky eyes like water. "Why don't you come along?"

Without waiting for Xia Ya to answer, Alicia directly pulled Xia Ya into the crowd, and Xia Ya allowed her to pull her.

Alicia grabbed Char's hand and asked him to hold her waist and dance a cheerful pas de deux. Char'a also cooperated with him with a smile.

Soon, the style of the music began to change, gradually speeding up, a bit like Spanish bullfighting music. Charia grabbed Alicia's hand and turned it in a circle, and she broke away from Charia.

Then, Alicia first assumed the standard attitude of a flamenco dancer, shrugging her shoulders and raising her head, with lonely eyes, searching around as if she wanted to pick something up.

Then, it began to rotate slowly, like a peacock with its tail spread.

Her black skirt looked very similar to when Chara first saw her. Although she was not a professional flamenco dancer, the large skirt she wore looked very beautiful when dancing, and her countless wrinkles were moved by her dance steps. stand up.

She was twisting her slender waist. Xia Ya had indulged in this slender waist countless times and was unable to extricate herself. When she twisted it, it was more like a scythe that seduced people's soul.

She danced wildly and arrogantly, expressing complex emotions wantonly, as if her whole life had been condensed and unfolded.She seemed to have no need for a dance partner at all, she was dancing with joy and arrogance.

Occasionally, she would patrol sadly and hastily, as if expressing her hidden love and hatred.She danced in an overwhelming manner, with her strong feet spinning and rushing on the ground with all her strength, tapping the ground like raindrops, as if she wanted to give the land a seal.

The dust and smoke rolled up one after another, as if there were invisible ropes restraining her, and she broke free without any external force...

Her eyes were unfocused, neither looking at the sky nor the earth, and certainly not paying attention to the passing passers-by around her.

Her eyes were misty, like smoke and clouds, as if she were only looking at the soul in the sky, and she seemed to have seen through her past and present lives, feeling helpless and giving up on herself.

The corners of her mouth were pursed tightly, and a row of fine vertical lines formed on her lips. Her nostrils were widened and twitching from time to time, as if she was sniffing the scent of approaching danger.Everything turned into a slightly cynical and lonely sneer under her delicate face.

Flamenco dance, the dancers' passionate and powerful performances are very contagious. As one of the Spanish national quintessences, flamenco is a combination of passion and determination. It shows anger and sadness, but it is by no means self-pity.

The sounds of singing, clapping, shouting, dancing steps, and clapping echoed each other, but Char's world became increasingly quiet.

He felt that the images around him seemed to be gradually blurring, and the sounds gradually weakened. Only one person was clearly visible in front of him.

Alicia's dancing talent is very strong. In the past, her talent seemed to be limited by her blindness. After the two regained their sight, because Chara liked to watch her dance, she went to learn it deliberately, and then danced only for him. look.

But this was the first time that Xia Ya saw her with such radiance, like a flamingo with her head raised high, free, open, passionate, and moving forward indomitably.

He felt that Alicia was so charming at the moment.

The people around seemed to have stopped because of Alicia's dance.

Until the music stopped, Alicia stopped dancing. In the brief silence, the whole audience burst into fierce applause, and countless cheers came and went.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

The banquet lasted until late at night. Some people were so drunk that they fell directly on the lawn and fell into a deep sleep. At this moment, the androids began to appear and clean up the mess.

They helped the alchemists back to the various rooms on the divine ship, while some of the artificial humans were sorting out the wine glasses scattered on the floor and clearing the dining table.

Xia Ya was also a little drunk. He rarely got drunk, but he was indeed very happy tonight. However, he was still conscious and returned to his room with Alicia in his arms.

Xia Ya wiped her body, changed her clothes, placed her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then carefully closed the door and walked to the living room of the duplex suite.

Tony stood on the open balcony outside, quietly looking at Jupiter.

"I thought you were drunk." Tony looked at Xia who came down from upstairs and said.

"I thought you were drunk too."

"My body has been modified and it's just a matter of willingness to metabolize the alcohol," Tony said.

"Where is the child?" Xia Ya said.

"Fell asleep."

He slowly raised his head and looked at Jupiter, and after a brief silence, he spoke.

"Actually, I have never had a sense of belonging to this world. I have no real friends and not many familiar people. Although I have lived for more than 100 years, I have basically never left the research laboratory."

After a pause, he whispered with deep eyes, "However, things are different now. After they come to this world, I have to think carefully about how to create a quiet living environment for them."

"The world may be very lively in the future." Xia Ya said with a smile.

"I know." Tony looked at the space station, "So I have to study it carefully."

He slowly raised his hand, and a magic circle appeared in his hand. Xia Ya was very familiar with the pattern of this magic circle, which was an alchemy magic circle.

"I have actually always had an idea." Tony said, "The application field of alchemy is very strong, but it will take a lot of time to turn it into combat effectiveness.

I wonder if I can directly make some modifications to this magic circle.

The principles of the alchemy circle are understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction, and these three are usually carried out at the same time.

I wonder if I could forcefully pause the process between decomposition and reconstruction. "

"You mean, let it become a pure decomposition magic?" Char said.

"Yes." Tony nodded, "Magic that can decompose matter as long as it can analyze it."

"Theoretically it's possible, and this is indeed a very powerful magic." Char murmured in a low voice, "However, you can't guarantee that you can understand everything. For example, you still don't understand the structure of a dragon."

“So, for this magic to become combat effective, it needs to accomplish one thing, which is a powerful instantaneous analysis device that can scan and analyze all the structures of the target in real time.

The second point is that a huge storage system is needed that can link magic users, transmit data without delay, and transmit the parsed data stored internally when encountering enemies.

Real-time data transmission over long distances is not difficult for me. Quantum communication can solve this problem.

And all of this requires a huge calculation to support it. "

Tony slowly raised his head and looked at the space station.

"So everything seems to come back to the construction of this energy device." (End of chapter)
