People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

In the originally empty space, something seemed to be slowly emerging.

(this is!!!!)

The excitement in Birdway's eyes couldn't be concealed, her lips trembled slightly, and her excited cheeks were a little flushed.

Zhengzheng stared at his surroundings, and the figures that emerged one after another gradually became more apparent.

A man in a white long-sleeved thick shirt, loose slacks, and an old-fashioned tennis suit with a portable oil lamp, flickering light blue flames are surrounding him in an amorphous state.

Even though she was only less than half a meter away from Birdway, Birdway just felt very warm and didn't feel hot at all.

Wearing a vest, trousers and exaggerated color high heels.And there is a measuring stick stuck in the belt, and a tape measure wrapped around his neck. The man dressed like a tailor is currently surrounded by the phantom of the Tarot cards floating around his body.

And those tarot cards Birdway is very familiar with, and there is the "Waite Tarot" that is widely spread even in the general world.

Wearing a green military uniform without camouflage, with small bags containing bandages and disinfectants hanging everywhere, the man who looked like a doctor was dragging a reflector in his hand, and bowed politely to Birdway bowed.

Although Birdway's knowledge of potions is not rich, Birdway can still recognize that the medicine on the opponent's body is a style that "golden" potion experts like very much, and the source is officially one of the "Golden Dawn" that year. member.

He was wearing a black judge uniform, but Birdway knew that it was a certain style that lawyers in London liked very much. The identity of the other party seemed to be a lawyer with a certain level.At this time, the man was holding his hands behind his back, looking quite serious.

In the future, translucent human figures with different shapes began to continuously appear beside Birdway, and among them, Birdway felt a gentle hand stroking her back, as if wanting to Help yourself up.

Birdway turned her head, and what she saw were two rather gentle women.

One person was wearing a long dress without much decoration and a monocle without much decoration, and beside her was another person wearing a long dress without much decoration, but with a pair of A woman with black cat ears.

The two looked at Birdway with a smile, and at a distance behind them, a woman in a dress that accentuated her figure also nodded to Birdway.

Somewhat different from the two gentle women just now, she was surrounded by several other men, and she was as noble as a queen surrounded by stars.

An old man appeared after that, standing relatively close to Sigurd.

More strictly speaking, it is almost side by side.

He had a gray beard and looked quite old.

The back is slightly hunched due to the years, but it can't conceal the wisdom and superiority of the old man.

He was wearing the British surgeon's coat back then, but there seemed to be a little modification on the cuffs, and a pair of small crosses could be seen vaguely on Birdwig.

And on the right side of Sigurd is an old man wearing a tailor-made evening dress and a bow tie. His image is exactly the same as the old man on the opposite side who was pierced by Birdway's "Ice Blade".

But different from the other party, he didn't have that oppressive sense of superiority. Instead, he felt like a kind old man next door, or a retired old professor next door.

Majestic but not depressing, it has an approachable feeling.

What appeared next was a man wearing a bright Scottish military uniform, a wizard hat, a black cloak, and a scarf.

But different from the previous two old men, his body exudes a sense of oppression from the superior all the time, making Birdway shrank subconsciously, not daring to look directly at the man's figure.

At this time, Sigurd's voice sounded again.

This is a completely different tone from the previous listless or cynical mercenary.

It was a sound of pride and pride, and quite excited.

"Stupid thing, open your dog eyes for me to see clearly! Behind me... is the whole 'Golden Dawn'!"

Chapter 140 Three: Discussion on "Immortality"

Birdway felt that the two women behind him were supporting his body.

It was obviously just a translucent phantom, but Birdway felt her body relaxed a lot.

Although there will still be a sense of soreness after fierce battles, but it can also stand firm on trembling.

But Sigurd, who noticed Birdway standing up, didn't say much, neither asked the other party to evacuate from the combat area, nor asked the other party to sit down and rest.

Taking a simple step forward, Sigurd looked at the old man in the distance who called himself "Wescott" and was stabbed into a cork by Birdway's attack before he fell.

With an unknown, distorted smile, the old man roughly pulled out the "ice blades" that pierced through him from the wound.

The blood spattered, although it obviously did not cause fatal injuries, but it undoubtedly caused the opponent's body to be injured.

Because the old man was pierced by the "Ice Blade" and pushed back, the old man had already come to the corner of the "Arena".

He leaned on the wet and slippery wall covered with moss, barely supporting his broken body.

"It seems that the members of the 'Golden Dawn' did not succeed in stopping you, did they? The mercenaries of 'Golden'?"

"Oh? Don't you plan to continue pretending?"

The old man waved his hands quite simply, and did not continue to forcefully perform "Westcott".

A faint green light appeared at the wound, and it was obvious that the other party was healing his wound.

But Sigurd didn't make any movement, just looked at the other side quietly.

"It's a bit too funny to pretend to be in front of the 'real deity', but the old man is quite a face-saving person."

Glancing at the translucent figures standing behind Sigurd, the old man disguised as "Westcott" obviously paused on Westcott's figure.

"But there is one thing about the old man, but he didn't lie..."

Straightforwardly, he pulled out an "Ice Blade" that pierced through his heart, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain, but it stopped quickly.

"...I have indeed reproduced the spells of quite a few members of the 'Golden Dawn'. Among them is William Wayne Westcott's 'Half Immortality' sex'."

Hearing the old man's somewhat proud tone, Sigurd was not in a hurry to mock him.

Sigurd knew what level the opponent was, so he was not in a hurry to pierce or attack him.

After all, regardless of other things, the feeling of self-confidence just now is not fake. Maybe the other party really thinks that he has reproduced the technique of "Golden Dawn", right?

But Birdway looked at the other party with some concern. After all, reproducing the technology of "Golden Dawn" is something she can't do now anyway.

It's not that Birdway's talent is not enough. Strictly speaking, being able to reach the current achievement at the age of 12, even if you look at the "Golden Dawn" back then, has already surpassed quite a few people.

But Birdwig is just about to let Aleister, a dead thing, fall into the trap. If we only rely on the theory of modern magic, I am afraid that Birdwig will stay in place for a long time from a certain time in the future.

"You mean you reproduced the 'half-immortality' of Westcott, one of the founders of 'Golden Dawn'?"

"Yes, the little girl of 'Golden'. The old man is a magician who has existed in the world since the end of the 'Golden Dawn', but this is enough to prove what I said."

Birdway had some difficulty accepting the other party's words. If what the other party said was true, then if the other party got serious next, they would face an extraordinary enemy beyond ordinary cognition.

She cast her eyes in Sigurd's direction with some anxiety.

But at this moment, Birdway felt that the tense mood just now suddenly relaxed for some reason.

Sigurd didn't move at all. In fact, Birdway vaguely felt the corners of Sigurd's mouth slightly raised.

If the "strongest gold" thinks that the opponent does not pose a threat, then the opponent is bluffing.

For some reason, Birdway also began to have the kind of trust that a Puritan magician would have.

Is it from Sigurd himself, or is it the phantom of the members of the "Golden Dawn" that surrounds him at this time?

I'm afraid even Birdway himself can't say anything about this.

"I don't doubt that you have survived from the nineteenth century to today. After all, I have seen people who have lived for thousands of years and more than 1000 years. I will not be surprised by this level."

"Are you talking about the astrological witch from a year ago? How is she doing recently?"

Birdway has also heard about the "Astrological Witch" that both parties talk about.

It is said that last year, Academy City's "Orion" space shuttle almost crashed in an accident, and the reason was that an astrological witch who had survived from the First Crusade to the present had activated the "Solomon Spell".

But after that, except for the two messages of "the witch has been killed by Sigurd" and "the Roman Orthodox Church is looking for", Birdway has no way of knowing more.

"Wait, wait a minute. Does that mean the subject of 'eternal life' has been overcome?"

"Girl 'Gold', this should not be called a 'project'. In fact, according to the existing clues, various magical powers, or their predecessors and various local systems, some began as early as BC Steps to conquer this field."

Birdway was not in a daze this time, and listened to the other party's words cognitively.

Even if it is an enemy, Birdway is trying to absorb valuable information for his "growth" from the opponent.

And the old man was not in a hurry to make a move, and seemed to be quite willing to talk to Birdway about the basis of the "semi-immortality" technique that he had completed "hard work".

And the one who also didn't make a move was Sigurd who said "you continue to perform, and I will watch".

Of course, the other two didn't notice either.

"There are many ways to artificially cultivate new life, just like cloning technology...Even if it is not known whether it is life, it is possible to cultivate a body that contains life. But even if new life can be created, It is also impossible to create the same life as in the past."

"It's just the previous memory and knowledge, but it can't prove that this 'person' is still the previous 'person'?"

"So although the research on transferring human life to other objects and materials has been going on, no one has harvested it so far."

"If the 'individual' cannot be moved to other objects, then not only the spirit and memory, but itself should also be 'retained'."

"From the perspective of the evolution of existing life... the human body itself is fragile. In the process of cell division, there are deviations below the decimal point. It is impossible to obtain eternal life by infinitely extending telomeres. That will cause cancerous cells."

The old man straightened his body, and then asked Birdwig a question like a professor giving a lecture.

"So who do you think would be the first to try something new in this situation?"

"Alchemists... don't completely abandon the body, but change the nature of the body. For example..."

"The 'Original Code' that will not be destroyed for thousands of years."

Chapter 140: The Tetrabooks and "Originalization"

The so-called "Original Code" usually refers to the original "Book of Magic", and in some cases it also refers to the first "Book of Magic" that was translated and preserved.

As for the so-called "magic books", they refer to those books that carry magical knowledge.

They not only possess extremely rich magical knowledge, but also are powerful tools for studying magic.

In any case, the contents of Grimoires are extremely harmful to those humans who dare to read and absorb their knowledge.

Among them, books called "original books" are the most dangerous.

It is said that the heterogeneous knowledge with too high purity can "pollute" people's brains just by reading it, and will forcibly shatter people's personality.

And this is not a joking anecdote, or a warning "white lie" such as "monsters will eat children who do not return home at night" compiled by the old man.

The same is true for the reason that most of the grimoires used by magicians to learn are called "copies" rather than "originals".

As for the "transcript", it is based on the "Original Code", a book of grimoires that records knowledge that has reduced its purity to a certain extent.

Which part of the "Original Code" is used in the "Manuscript" and how it is used is determined by the purpose of the "Manuscript".
