Chapter 34 I'm Here

In the end, Niya didn't ask Kaos about what happened to the knights shown in the broken mirror.Kaos had no intention of answering either.It's just that when the carriage passed the crossroad at high speed, Niya's slightly extraordinary sense of smell smelled something that wasn't good, the smell of broken human tissues mixed together.

Maybe just like the final ending of that mirror, those people have also become disorganized, right?After all, Niya herself saw the last scene in the mirror completely.The body that split apart with the mirror, and the terrified appearance of those people were all imprinted in her mind.

"That kind of thing... How can I do it?" Even Niya wondered what happened to her, as if her body was moving by itself.He asked his companion who smelled of inferior perfume and was wrapped in a vulgar bearskin robe.

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Wrapped in a bearskin coat, the companion who was playing with the gold ring on his finger boredly raised his head like a horse whose nose was caught, his gray-black eyes He stared straight at Niya.That look was full of aura as if he was going to kill her.

But Niya knew that he didn't have any malice or hatred.But he himself was the kind of man who could hardly suppress his terror.As long as you communicate with him for a little longer, you will know.That sudden, awe-inspiring gaze that seemed to cut the world apart was just an unconscious movement of his own.But this still made Niya subconsciously look away, not wanting to meet his gaze.

It was scary enough, that look.

"Are you talking about those ambushers?" Kaos also seemed to feel something ominous in his eyes, lowered his eyes, and refocused his eyes on the vulgar gemstone rings on his fingers.

"It's just a very simple thing. You only need to have the manipulative techniques of the great wizard and the spiritual network of the councilor wizard, and you can easily do that." He picked up a priceless gem absently, and then used the inorganic substance After staring at it for a while, it mercilessly disintegrated into powder at the fingertips, and sprinkled a radiant track behind the carriage.

"It's just a few years of practice and thinking."

He looked at the gem powder blown away by the wind on his fingertips with indifferent eyes, without even the slightest shake, and said in a calm and dignified voice.It's like a golem with a confirmed circuit, and it can only execute instructions mechanically.

It's just like talking about other people's things, it's just a few years of practice and thinking.But who would mess up their body just because of practice, and couldn't survive without magic maintenance?Who will cause their own thinking structure to be chaotic because of thinking, and even the most basic human emotional structure will start to be missing?Only Kaos is alone.

So this is why he is the youngest great wizard and the youngest mage chief.

"The so-called few years are only for you, right? After all, no one can achieve your level of hard work. You don't even know the concept of time, and you have to abandon your identity and feelings as human beings. I didn't know anything, so I plunged in without hesitation. How can there be such a person?" Niya, who didn't know when she started talking to herself, casually said what was in her heart.By the time she realized what she had said, the thin face had come closer unexpectedly.

"It's so strange..." The pale and thin man lowered his brows to cover up his sharp gaze, and muttered in disbelief. "Even you who have become the young master of the Rost family are still surprised by my results? I thought you could understand my speed."

"How can I understand the gap between mortals and wizards!"

"That's right, although I can't understand how you have become a neat Patriarch in the past two years. After all, in my eyes, it was too fast. In your eyes, I am the same, right?" Kaos shrugged irresolutely.

"If it is based on the average idea, it is five years, ten years, 20 years, 50 years, and then 100 years. This is the most average promotion data. From apprentices to junior wizards, and then after the junior wizard training will be carried out The next stage is the training of the admonition wizard. Then there is the councilor wizard, and finally the grand wizard. Then above the grand wizard is the sage."

The withered wizard stretched out a finger that was also withered, and tapped the air with a tired face.For a moment, Niya felt as if something had spread out, and the gust of wind that was blowing on her face was about to disappear.Looking at the translucent green lines constantly entangled around, blocking the gust of wind, Niya determined that the alien world was absolutely beyond her comprehension.She couldn't figure out why she could stop such a violent wind with just one finger.

"It's just using your own head to understand the thinking of the wind and space. It's not too difficult." Seeming to feel Niya's sight, Kaos still lowered his brows to cover his eyes, and explained to her flatly .

"Then let's talk about the wizard's plan. Indeed, I admit that my speed is unique even in history, and my genius is recognized by the world. I am well-deserved number one, yes An unprecedented arcane master. Even if I am called a second-year-old child, I am sure that I have the power to change the world."

Kaos was wrapped in a bearskin coat, and said to Niya seriously.That earnest look was neither complacent nor boastful, just simply repeating a fact.And for everyone, it is indeed a very clear fact.After all, I have never heard of a 20-year-old great wizard.The youngest record before him was 31 years old, and this person who has only been in contact with magic for less than ten years has easily surpassed the hard work of others for four or fifty years and stood at the pinnacle of the world.

"I can easily wipe out the lives of hundreds of people, and I can also change the fate of tens of thousands of people in a normal way. For example, in Beidi, I just fulfilled my obligation and then ran to the imperial capital mercilessly. Corresponding Yes, millions of people are about to accept their end. Although for some reason there is a replacement, but I was going to run straight back. That is to say, I don't care about their lives at all."

Maintaining the line-like enchantment, Kaos spread out on the seat of the carriage like an exhausted laborer.Still lowering his eyelids, paying attention to his gaze not to scare her, he stated the status of the mage in a deep voice.

"Ordinary apprentices may be able to defeat a knight, right? They may not even be able to defeat them. Their spirits are not strong and stable enough. Junior wizards may be able to deal with three to five knights, but they can't deal with more than 20 people. There is no way for the warbands to fight against it. They cannot cross the barrier of spirit and consciousness."

In this way, Kaos described to Nya the scenery of the magic world that no one knew clearly in calm words.

"As for the councilor wizards, at most they can kill a hundred people, and they will flee when facing an army of thousands of people. Don't look at those mages who are superior, because even a great wizard will have to face an army of more than 5000 people. Think about whether you can retreat completely. Human consciousness is stronger than you can imagine, and the united monster is enough to obliterate any existence in front of it. Therefore, I can kill thousands of people anywhere without any scruples. People came to be buried with me, this is the situation where I don't have any assistance. Only when facing death, human beings are the most sincere."

The carriage began to slow down.As they have been running on the road for countless times, they can also understand where to slow down and stop.The great wizard also noticed this, raised his eyelids, and sped up his speech a little.

"Generally speaking, there are no sequelae, but in order to obtain this power faster, I did some very unusual behaviors. As you can see, the body is swallowed by the shadow, and the mind is also dug out One piece. Even the normal negative emotions are stripped away, and can only be chosen through other people and previous common sense. Because I don't understand that emotion...here."

The footsteps of the carriage had come to a stop, and Kaos cut off his words.After tidying up the accessories on his body, he wrapped his withered body in a tan bearskin robe, and stood there majestically with an expression of indifference on his pale face.After all, for him, there is absolutely nothing here that makes him cautious.The drooping eyes were also completely opened, and the gray-black pupil still showed the sharp will that seemed to cut the world apart.

"If you want to get something, you must give something. I got the power I have now, but what did I pay for? The fear of dying before, the terror when facing the knights hunting, and suppressing the 20 Years of darkness, a part of the body, countless nerves in the brain. All of these have become empty, and I have become the great wizard I am today."

Taking a deep breath, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers not so loudly.The air flowed in the space again.In front of Niya was the very familiar gorgeous Gothic campus gate that she had crossed several times.Under the building with a strong upward and mysterious atmosphere, a group of young people full of vigor stared dumbfounded at the carriage driving in front of them.A considerable number of people even projected expressions of disgust and resentment towards Kaos standing on the carriage.

Of course, that's exactly what he wanted.It would be better to say that everything is in line with his plans and ideals.That ridiculous ideal of protecting the lives of others while preserving one's own life.

"So now, in this brand new campus, what will I sacrifice to build?"

Muttering such words, the great wizard held a golden ruby ​​cane and a golden ring, and jumped out of the carriage majestically.Facing the strange gate and countless young people who were whispering, the great wizard faced the ridicule of those students, and opened his arms in a hug gesture without fear.As if to embrace the world that enveloped him.

Then he made a unique roar to the campus with a voice that everyone could hear.

"Fate! Even if you can take away all my wealth! Even if you can take away all my strength! Even if it is because of the passage of time, my body tends to decay! However, you will never be able to defeat me. My heart! Never!"
