Wizard From Afar

Roland Torino and Martial Goddess Brunhild?

Loren frowned slightly, the candlelight beating in his pupils.

To be honest, when I heard the names of these two people, the black hair wizard was not surprised at all, even as expected-especially after having contact with Brunhild. In fact, the answer to Harlem Van Azhamel's evaluation of the "dark duke" was already before him.

As for why Ariel and Asriel know this... He doesn't want to ask anymore, it's just a waste of words.

However, Loren still has a question.

"So, Roland Torino...or Black Duke, once opened three valves to fight against'Black Cross' Seriol?" The black hair wizard asked suspiciously:

"The Legendary of the Black Duke is less than a hundred years old, and many people who have seen him with their own eyes are still alive-but why I have never heard anyone mention that he is also a wizard?"

This kind of thing is impossible to conceal; even if the black duke is so guarded that he can open the valve without relying on outsiders; but if you want to get in touch with the knowledge about the void, you must deal with the wizard... It is far more than the current wizard. The harsh tenth generation, this is simply a fantasy story.

"About this..." Ariel was nodded and patiently explained to the black hair wizard: "First of all, Roland Torino is indeed not a wizard, from start to finish, he and the identity of'wizard' There is no connection at all."

"Secondly, he only opened two valves instead of three—but not on him, but on the Nine-pointed Star Holy Grail and Martial Goddess Brunhill. The power of virtue."

The power of the nine-pointed star Holy Grail and...Martial Goddess?

With the help of the nine-pointed star holy grail fuzzy matter and the Void Realm limit, it can indeed help a wizard or human being to master the first valve-like throwing an ignorant recruit onto the battlefield, as long as he can survive Down, it is only a matter of time before shedding body and exchanging bones.

But Brunhild, how did he... Loren, who was slightly startled, suddenly remembered something a blond boy had said a long time ago.

"Yes, that's how it is."

Asriel, who was ordered to shut up, spoke glumly, holding his shoulders and tilting his chin, feeling aggrieved: "Asriel said it a long time ago... As long as my dear Loren hopes, Asriel can teach you the way to open the valve at any time. There is no need for others to teach."

"No, I am not asking this. "The shocked Loren waved his hand, his eyes and attention still focused on the girl: "Opening the valve, for the wizard, it is still a nine deaths and still alive thing... Besides, Roland is not even a wizard!"

"Can someone who doesn't know anything about the void open the valve with the help of Evil God from the side?"

Slightly nodded Ariel shook the head, it seems the same Lost in thought.

"Loren's point of view is correct. In theory, this is indeed an impossible thing-and he has opened not just one, but two valves." The girl hesitantly said: "Even Ellie I don’t know exactly how Brunhild did it."

"But there is no doubt that Roland Torino...he should be the first to know nothing about the void. Two valves were opened, and the human beings who survived."

Loren raised his eyebrows, pondering the words Ariel used.

The first human being to open two valves without knowing nothing about the void, and surviving...

Two valves...

" Why, it must be two valves?"

Almost at the moment the black hair wizard whispered softly, the eyes of the two "Asriel" flashed with surprise at the same time, looked at each other in blank dismay.

While not aware of these, Loren is still trying to recall the conversation between himself and the Corona Master about the "valve", trying to find some important clues and keywords.

"...The so-called'valve' should also be gradually increased; the process of opening the valve is like an evolutionary process..."

"...1st Step, yes Break our own shackles and let our strength reach a certain height-the so-called'transcendence itself'. There are also wizards who call this step'extraordinary'......"

"......Second Step , It is the improvement of wisdom, so that our thinking can match our strength...We will gain a new "view" and understand things that ordinary people can't understand; at the same time, we will find the'eyes' that peek into ourselves..."

The first is to open the first valve. Loren has already experienced it many times-his own power will no longer be limited in any form, and all spells can maximize its formidable power, even interfering with the law. Point.

Before the spirit strength is exhausted, all previous restrictions will no longer exist, any injury can instantly return to the state before opening the valve, and the reaction power and observation power have been significantly improved; even I clearly felt Void Power waving at my fingertips.

Indeed, that is definitely not the power that oneself can possess; it is more like exploiting a loophole in a certain "mechanism" between the two worlds.

Open the second valve—according to Corona, he will improve his wisdom and discover his “eyes” prying into his eyes......

Wait a minute, he seems to be still Said that he was "known in the history of the wizard, the second wizard with two'valves'".

Loren once didn't care much about this sentence, but now think about it, maybe what he alluded to was not "Rogan in a hat" but "Black Duke" Roland Torino.

The first person who was not a wizard, but opened two valves.

Corona is a wizard who has experienced the tenth generation. In other words, he must have some understanding of the situation after opening the second valve, not just read it from the ancient book.

That's why he has so much confidence in himself, believing that helping himself is good for the "wizard's future"?

But... the eyes?

Matter and void, the opposition of the two worlds?

Loren's left eye kept beating, these keywords floating in his mind.

"With the help of the nine-pointed star Holy Grail and Martial Goddess, Roland Torino opened two valves and moved on to the road of confrontation with Serio or other things, such as the Holy Cross." Low Loren whispered, as if talking to himself, and wanted to ask something: "That is to say..."

"Only by opening the'two' valves, can we stand in equal opposition to them. On the battlefield; and the moment the second valve is opened, the opponent will immediately notice...Is that so?"

Ariel paused for a long time, the bright red eyes look steadily forward. Between the black hair wizard's eyebrows, he seemed to be amazed by the words just now.

"Yes, it is true."

"But it was not detected by Seror or some...Evil God."

Huh?

Loren frowned slightly: "What is that?"

"It will be immediately noticed by the void!"

Asriel interrupted, his face There is no more ambiguous teasing, but rather dignified:

"When you have opened your eyes, you are no longer obscured by chaos and sensibility, and you can actually'see' the existence of the void at the same time , Which means that you are equally exposed in front of the void."

"You will no longer just be waving the wild beast of infinite power, but surpass it and possess a higher level of'wisdom' The existence of."

"The collision of your language, will, and even the electric light of your thoughts will be given real meaning."

"You will be able to actually touch and observe , And truly comprehend and use your own power instead of'borrowed' power."

"You even...will no longer be a wizard."

No longer a wizard?

The black hair wizard with a bewildered face, his expression seems to understand but not understand, like falling into the fog.

He figured out why Roland Torino must open the two valves—obviously, whether it’s a wizard or not, when he opens the two valves, he will be able to use his own power, every move, every Every thought will be given "meaning".

In other words, when the two valves are opened, Roland Torino is no longer a mortal — at least not an ordinary person — can observe the void directly rather than indirectly, and can actually threaten the plug Liao, right?

The ignorant Loren can only speculate vaguely like this.

"But why...it will no longer be a wizard?"

Faced with the black hair wizard's question, after looking at each other, Asriel slowly turned his head: "Because Starting from this step, you have to say goodbye to yourself... to be more precise, it is the "mortal body"."

Loren slightly startled, but it's not surprising.

"No, dear Loren, it’s Asriel who didn’t explain it clearly-it’s not that you have to change your identity or even another species. This concept is beyond it." Asriel seemed to be anxious The defensive child said hurriedly:

"Once you stepped out of this step, whether you can look back is second... At least, you will no longer be you, you will no longer be yourself in the material world, but at the same time you Nor is it an Evil God in the void!"

"Just like the fake lady said, sandwiched between the void and the material world, neither belongs to the left nor the right; sandwiched between Evil God and humans In between, neither belongs to the former nor the latter!"

"Then what am I?!" The black hair wizard blurted out.

"You will be'Loren Torino'!" The blonde boy replied categorically: "You will not be a human being, not a physical body and mortal flesh, not any humanoid creature with wisdom, and not belonging to the realm. Compendium, family, genera and species..."

"You are'Loren ·Torino'——you, will be yourself!"

The black hair wizard looked at a loss and seemed to understand. But it seems that there are more problems.

"This is the level that Roland Torino has reached, and it is also the level that'Rogan in a hat' has reached..." Asriel stared at him tightly and pressed the corners of his mouth tightly:

"They stop here, because they can only reach this level at best."

"But Loren...you can go a step further and open the third valve."

This time, there was once again an ambiguous temptation in the blond boy's voice: "You will become the ultimate of objective existence, the will of the world, the unique and unmatched existence of this world."

Loren brows slightly wrinkle, watching the candlelight in front of him.

"Dear Loren, I have promised you many things-power, wealth, status, strength, wisdom... I have promised you too much, and now it’s time for Asriel to fulfill it. "

Staring into the eyes of the black hair wizard, Asriel slowly opened the mouth and said: "As long as you speak, Asriel will do everything to help Loren open the third valve."

"For a wizard, touching the third valve is the ultimate dream of the collective; for a ruler, this will also give him Supreme power and authority."

Loren was silent.

"More importantly, this is also the only way to protect friends and yourself from the hands of the'Black Cross' Seror; from the hands of the Holy Cross, the only choice to protect this world." Asriel's tone Softer and softer, with breathtaking power: "Roland Torino, Logan... They all failed."

"Because they only open, they can only open two valves... They are Being limited by oneself, unable to reach a higher level, unable to move towards the true Peak."

"No longer bound by the vulgar world, no longer controlled by the wishes of others, no longer need to worry about being threatened The probability-because you will constrain this vulgar world and influence the wishes of others."

"Sovereign all living creatures' destiny-the earth, the sky, and the ocean will be governed by the will of this world. , Life, death...all, everything."

"At that time, Loren, you can plan and arrange a world that is better than the world controlled by the bad guys according to your own ideas. The future."

The voice fell, but the black hair wizard did not show any expression as Asriel expected, still staring at the unextinguished candlelight with the face doesn't change.

The will to reign in this world...

Sovereign of all living creatures...

The ultimate dream of wizards...

Loren light Raising the right hand lightly, extinguished the candle that illuminates the room.

The room dimmed in an instant, and a wisp of blue smoke drifted slowly from the tips of his separated fingers.

black hair wizard lifts the head, looked towards Ariel, who was always the same as herself just now and kept silent:

"The last question-if I really open the first Will the three valves have the same ending as the protagonist in the story, the'Torino'wizard?"

"In order to completely bring the entire world into control, abandon yourself or even everything, and finally put yourself Become an Evil God, trying to control the destiny of the entire world."

The girl smiled softly, her mouth curled up with a refreshing charm.

", it won’t, it won’t be-dear Loren, it will definitely have a better ending than the'Torino' wizard, a better future, and it will never become that kind of power The wild beast that power, power and desire want."

"Why?" The black hair wizard opened the mouth and said faintly, and the godless eyes seemed to mutter to himself: "Remember the past In the past few years, didn’t I do the same thing as the wild beast I was asking for?"

"It’s just that he knows his goal, and I don’t know—from this point of view, I probably Not as good as him."

"No, Ariel is sure, definitely not." Ariel said quietly, but she was so decisive:

"Because... …The stories are all fake."
