Section 58 The Return of the Master 2

I don't know why, Lu Wu inexplicably remembered what the master said before. In fact, this is not the first time that the master has complained. The master once activated Amber's badge and sent Lu Wu to another world without amber. At that time, the master emphasized that if it weren't for him, then Lu Wu wouldn't have been able to come at all - even if he found a way to activate the badge on his own, he would be looking for death. Because in the process of traversing, the badge cannot maintain the stability of the surrounding space. This means that if there is no external force to protect it, after the crossing is over, the human body will also become minced meat due to the fragmentation of the space - at most, it is only the size of the meat piece. But now Lu Wu already knew that if Amber was allowed to activate it, then the situation of "spatial fragmentation" would not appear at all. That's the difference in the power of the two sides. In the end, the master can only admit that the magic power, especially the magic of the first law, is still beyond his understanding.

"Can't do it?"

"It can't be done at all. The master regained his composure. "The difficulty involved in directly breaking through the natural barrier between the two worlds without using the Aetheric Sea as a medium is beyond the scope of my knowledge. No, no, it should be called anti-scientific. I thought I had inherited some knowledge and technology related to magic from that kid, but now I realized that there was no reason for magic to speak of, and that my original conjectures and predictions were wrong. Yes, partner, it simply can't be done. He admitted. "Unless I ask the little warlock to make something of the same type and give it to me as a medium to open the door...... Otherwise, it's empty talk. However, this is simply impossible for the current little warlock. ”

"Can you ......" Lu Wu wanted to speak. Although he didn't know, according to what he knew, the first lawyer's rarity was rare, and if it was evaluated over a long period of time, it would be quite numerous. Amber can make one, others should be able to do it, and the Huiyue camp should have treasures of the same nature in their hands.

"Impossible," the master interrupted Lu Wu in frustration. "It's a rare treasure even for warlocks, and I can't think of any reason why they would give me something like that, even if it's to lend it to me. Unless there is a very strong, trustworthy shackle on my head, I'm sure they won't do that. ”

"By the way, what's the situation on Earth?, what about that 'backlash' of the power of fate?" the master suddenly changed the subject.

"Good. Lu Wu had to say. Many of the troubles he had expected did not happen. Ren Jian, although Lu Wu thought that he was likely to get to the bottom of it, but in fact he was a silent person. Speaking of which, when I was a student, I really didn't think that Ren Jian would actually take the phrase "silence is golden" as a motto. But the fact at the moment is that he showed an attitude that Lu Wu found very strange: although he talked a lot, Ren Jian never asked unnecessary questions. Lu Wu had already made up a set of words to deal with, but he had no chance to use it at all.

The last time – the time the shipwreck was salvaged. Ren Jian knew that Lu Wu was going to salvage the sunken ship, but he didn't bother to ask about the specific things at all. Where did Lu Wu get the money to rent that yacht, and how did he use a yacht that had no diving and salvage equipment at all to salvage an ancient shipwreck sunk in the deep sea—these unsolved mysteries were enough to arouse Ren Jian's curiosity (normal people do, aren't they?) and attract questions. But Ren Jian didn't say a word, as if this kind of thing was taken for granted, not surprising, and not worth asking about at all.

This time too. Looking at the precious metals brought by Lu Wu, Ren Jian didn't bring up any superfluous nonsense, and directly disposed of the metals.

As for the "second law of magic backlash", the situation is even better. Or so to speak, nothing unexpected happened. Lu Wu doesn't take a car when he goes out now, and when he has to go out, he tries to choose late at night or early in the morning, when there are few pedestrians, he hides at home and is an otaku during the day. Ever since Lu Wu made the right choice, too, things have been good. Of course, it could also be that the magic ring gave him extra strength, giving him the ability to avoid many dangers that are difficult for ordinary people to avoid without realizing it.

Lu Wu now feels that everything is in the past - of course, in a normal state of mind, he still maintains this kind of life, such as not daring to take the car. But he didn't feel any danger himself. Besides, Amber herself said that she didn't do anything excessive - now she has no reason to lie to Lu Wu. Therefore, Lu Wu really felt that this might not have much to do with the magic of the second law or something, it was purely that he was too unlucky.

Recently, after adopting this deep and simple otaku life mode, coupled with a firm grasp of the cautious attitude of small caution in daily life, even these unfortunate things are gone. Lu Wu felt that as long as it was a little while, he could try to ride in a car or something like that.

Even if he "built according to the drawings" with Amber (although in fact Amber was the only one who was working on the construction, and Lu Wu was completely on the side of the station to make soy sauce), nothing bad happened.

It's the same for Ren Jian. Speaking of which, according to Amber's opinion, if there is a reaction force (as mentioned earlier, the reaction effect of the second law magic may not be clearly felt), then Ren Jian's side is also greater than Lu Wu. But apart from the previous failed speculation, it was no different. And to put it in detail, this speculation failed, even Ren Jian himself admitted that he was too impulsive and greedy, and recklessly rushed into the market without thoroughly grasping the overall situation. Everything can be said to be self-inflicted. He also admitted that his mentality is not right, so sooner or later he will hit a wall, not this time, it will be next time. During this time, Lu Wu has always attached great importance to it, and he called from time to time, but he didn't find anything.

Even if I went to the hospital for a physical examination, the doctor's reply was that it was completely fine. People at this age are either not sick or seriously ill. Ren Jian's profiteer's heart beats healthier than ever before - of course, now that he has Dumb, he can save his health in time, but he is not afraid.

Lu Wu originally felt that when he said this, the master should also show a happy attitude. But in fact, the situation was the opposite, and the master maintained an unspeakable silence.

"Partner, you mean...... Nothing happened?"

"That's true. Lu Wu felt strange, a few months have passed, isn't it the best result if nothing happens?

"Partner, this matter has to be considered. Although the current understanding of magic is still very incomplete, it ...... Partner, do you know one of the most famous applications of the second law magic in this world?"

"What?"

"Life extension surgery. The master said. "You should have heard that people in this world, if they have money and status, do not die like normal human beings, and they can also choose to go for life extension surgery. It usually extends life expectancy by twenty to forty years. ”

Lu Wu had known this for a long time. It's a pity that, like most of these cases, for young people in their twenties, the "life extension" is too illusory and distant, and Lu Wu has no interest in it. He just knew, but never got into the details. Maybe both the master and Amber had mentioned the topic, but Lu Wu didn't take it to heart - now Lu Wu had even forgotten if the master and Amber had discussed this topic with him.

"But the problem is that the relevant technology is not up to par and is not yet fully mature. If you just go for a normal life-extension surgery, then the chance of death is said to be more than 70%. If you are older, your chances of success will be further reduced. In other words, in terms of overall probability, it is not 'life extension', it is 'suicide'. ”

"However, for some people, there is a way to increase the success rate of this unreliable procedure directly to 100 percent!"

"You mean...... Magic?" Lu Wu understood the master's meaning almost instantly.

"Yes, as long as a warlock with the magic power of the Second Law forcibly changes his fate, the life-prolonging surgery, which was originally beyond the current level of technology and is not essentially different from suicide, will instantly have a 100% success rate. Most people do. ”

"That'...... What will be the consequences?" "Now Lu Wu has fully understood that although the magic power of the second law is a very useful power, it is by no means omnipotent. Otherwise, the warlocks would not be the "notorious pirates" in the mouths of the masters, and they would probably become "feared conquerors".

"Someone has to pay the price. The master said. "Either it's a spellcaster—even a warlock, and even a warlock can leave an incurable mutilation. Either that, it's the one who underwent life-extension surgery. ”

The answer "uh......" was completely expected.

"In the statistics made by the warlocks—I don't know if this statistic is reliable—there has never been an example of a second type of person being able to live past the normal life span of a human being. In other words, if you bear the consequences of the magic backlash, then the so-called life extension surgery does not achieve life extension in the real sense, and it is not so much life extension as life reduction. Of course, there is also the benefit, that is, to avoid the sorrow of aging and die in a relatively young body. In a way, it is the number of years of life in exchange for the quality of life. Whether it is a loss or a profit, only you know. ”

"This, ...... with me" Lu Wu didn't understand why the master mentioned this. Although they have been together for a long time, he always feels that in front of the masters, he is as ignorant and dull as a kindergarten child in front of his aunt. Of course, looking back on the identity and experience of the masters, I feel that the difference between them is much greater than the difference between kindergarten children and aunts.

"So, partner, you must not underestimate the backlash of the second law's magic. The master said. "What's more, in the Warlocks' concept, the 'destinies' of different worlds are similar and distinct beings, just like two different individuals in a race, which may mean ......" he paused, his tone reinforcing his tone. "No one knows what the effect of the backlash on Earth is! maybe weak, as you think, after a small wind and a small wave, it is gone. Maybe, just maybe, it will be so strong that no one can escape it. ”

"But Amber ......"

"She's just a warlock, a warlock who doesn't fully understand and master her own powers. I'm the expert. The master said proudly.

"I've been through a lot of storms. Lu Wu remembered the accident he encountered on the streets of a foreign country. He believed that if it weren't for the fact that he had a magic ring, which gave him superhuman agility and speed...... I guess I won't be able to return home.

"As long as you can avoid it, it's a small wind and a small wave. The master said. "The true backlash of the power of fate is impossible to avoid, otherwise, the warlocks would not have that kind of stats. Most of those who are qualified to do life extension are warlocks!"

This is different from what the master has said in the past, and it is clear that he has a deeper understanding of magic.

"Master, do you really want to go back with me?" Lu Wu asked again. Although he himself welcomed it, the master left everything here behind and followed him back to Earth...... I always feel that I can't tell what's wrong.

"I'm running away. The master sighed. "Anyway, no matter how bad it is on Earth, there are no Stygians. ”
