Beijing, China, General Headquarters of the Occult Division. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Qilan, what's wrong?" Nian Hang looked curiously at Xie Qilan, who called him over, and the expression on his face was something he had never seen before... Lonely?

"Come with me, I have something for you. Xie Qilan said indifferently.

"What's that?"

"You'll know when you come here, anyway... My old friends are gone, and I don't think I'll be able to use this thing anymore. ”

Nian Hang was going to the Vatican for an international conference in the afternoon, and now he should go to prepare the materials, but he didn't look like Qi Lan was joking, and after instructing Ethan, who was handed over to him by Fang Shuanghua and was now his assistant, he followed Qi Lan to a nearby courtyard.

"It's... Array pattern?" Nian Hang was surprised when he walked into the courtyard, the giant array covering an area of about two hundred square meters, and it was not a single color, it could be seen that it was a combination of various formations, and it was definitely not a simple thing from its complexity.

"It took me five years, and I was trying to play with it, but I didn't expect to really feel it, really. Xie Qilan looked at the spirit arrays scattered throughout the courtyard as if he remembered something funny, and laughed at himself.

"Sensed... What?" Gu Nianhang was inexplicably on the side.

"Oh, nothing, you stand in the six-pointed star in the seven-fold loop in the center of the formation, I'm going to start. Qi Lan stretched out his right hand, and under the effect of his spiritual power, the spirit array that spread throughout the courtyard began to operate, and the luster of various colors began to shine and rotate, if it weren't for the extremely powerful shielding spirit array he had placed around him in advance, the entire Beijing would have shaken as soon as this huge force appeared.

Although he was puzzled by Qi Lan's actions, he instinctively made Nian Hang still walk to the center of the spirit array, which was different from the periphery, it seemed that the light in the center was not so dazzling, only scattered golden points of light shone and jumped in the space around him.

"Feel the spiritual power of the outside world and let them enter your body freely, of course you can block it, but it will be painful. Xie Qilan's heartless smile at this time was less of his usual cynicism, only endless burnout.

"Got it. Gu Nianhang said speechlessly.

"Listen, this is my last teaching, and you're the last person I'll teach. Xie Qilan let his mental state completely merge with the spirit array, so his words could be heard very clearly.

"I'm tired of your uniform names, so I'll call them magic again in the following teaching, just pay attention to yourself, although your spiritual skills are relatively bad, but it should still be quite quick to learn. ”

The spirit arrays of different levels are constantly exchanging and rotating under Qi Lan's control," The construction of the basic magic array, all changes are inseparable, according to these basics to understand the formation imprinted in your spirit, the circular pattern represents the cycle that ensures that the magic power will not be lost; the straight line is equivalent to the wire of the magic flow, correspondingly, the larger the formation pattern, the more the circuit will consume more magic power; the four elements that constitute the power of the magic array, the spell that communicates with the elements, the caster's own mental endurance, the crystal powder level of the drawing circuit, and the source of the magic power of the magic circle, that is, the magic center, you can also directly imagine the image of the magic circle in your mind to draw, of course, unless your mental power is greater than a hundred times that of the other party, otherwise the power is extremely limited。 ”

Thousands, tens of thousands... Even Gu Nianhang, he couldn't count how many kinds of formations were imprinted in his mind, basic, changing, high-end, taboo, all Xie Qilan's clear magic arrays were all delivered to Gu Nianhang by him without reservation.

"Is there any limit to this kind of magic?" Teaching such a huge amount of power to others out of thin air, according to Nian Hang's understanding, it is impossible to have no price, and this price should be extremely huge!

"The price is borne by me, and you don't care. Xie Qilan smiled indifferently and interrupted Nian Hang's idea of continuing to ask, "Next is my magic circuit, this will hurt a little even if you don't resist." ”

The feeling of tearing the meridians is like watching your whole body being torn by a meat grinder and not being able to move, what kind of thing is this? Xie Qilan, this is called very painful! But of course, it is also of course that completely transferring his own magic circuit to the other party is equivalent to changing the other party's life bones, and it will be a problem if he can be reborn peacefully, but fortunately, Xie Qilan has taken this situation into account, and he has minimized Nian Hang's pain through external forces as much as possible, as for the price, it is still up to him to bear it anyway, Nian Hang does not know the actual situation of Qi Lan now.

In Nian Hang's feeling, a long time had passed in the outside world, in fact, only ten minutes had passed, and when he opened his eyes again, Xie Qilan had already removed all the magic arrays, and was resting weakly against the wall, seeing that he opened his eyes, Qilan smiled weakly, and actually stood up again, "Hey, it's not over yet, don't move there." ”

Walking slowly to Nian Hang's side, Nian Hang could clearly see Qi Lan's exhaustion, he was very tired, it could be said that he moved over step by step, but he just didn't mean to stop, and resolutely signaled Nian Hang with his eyes to wait for everything to be over before asking.

Painstakingly put the palm of his right hand inward on Nian Hang's back, Qi Lan's eyes froze, and a visible white line gradually disappeared along Nian Hang's back and flowed all over his body, it was magic, I remember that the magic power in the materials I had read was regarded as a life force by the ancient magicians, Qi Lan was crazy?

"Don't be too surprised, my old friends are gone, and there's no point in me keeping my magic. The transmission of mana in the magic array was extremely fast, and it only took one minute for Xie Qilan to complete the entire transmission process, and he finally fell to the ground uncontrollably, and after being hurriedly helped up by Nian Hang, he smiled reluctantly and said.

"Did something happen?" Gu Nianhang was indeed puzzled by Xie Qilan's recent actions, something had been wrong since he came back from the UK as an executive commissioner, could it be that something was wrong with Arthur?

"He's dead, in the truest sense of the word, old age. Xie Qilan said as if with emotion, and at the same time, with his hand stretched out, a long sword with one-fifth section with side teeth at the tip of the sword body slowly emerged from the array, Nian Hang pulled out the pitch-black long sword under Qi Lan's signal, the hilt with a strange black and red pattern seemed to have a strong repulsion, and he was almost about to break away from Nian Hang's palm autonomously, but it gradually stabilized under Qi Lan's control.

"What is this sword?" Nian Hang waved the long sword, and the feeling that this sword brought him after it could be controlled was very strange, because he couldn't even feel the existence of this sword at all, even holding it in his hand felt like he was holding air, no, even if it was air, it still had a feeling, and this feeling was like it made you deliberately ignore the existence of this sword.

"If you want to listen, I can tell you other things by the way, but it may delay your international conference in the afternoon, which one do you choose?" Xie Qilan smiled and sat down and said.

"You know which one I usually choose. Gu Nianhang took out the communication equipment and contacted Ethan Cruise, "Hey, Ethan, you can arrange it for me again, I won't be able to arrive until tomorrow for the meeting, so let Fang Yunshan talk to them alone." ”

"Okay, you can continue. Hanging up the phone, Nian Hang simply sat down.

"This sword is something Arthur left to you, or rather, he asked me to find the right person for it, and I will give it to you. Xie Qilan began to narrate, "In addition, I would like to ask, do you have any thoughts on Celtic mythology?"

"From the information you and Irina told me, it is not difficult to surmise that you once attacked Avalon together back then, and completely destroyed the place where time stood still, King Arthur's sword of kings was not given by the elves, but he took it out of the corpses of the elves, but since Avalon no longer exists, I can't think of the part about King Arthur being transported to Avalon after being injured. ”

"That's right, we didn't just find the Sword of Kings in the first place, as for the simple reason, it was because of this sword, Arthur and I, including Natalia, thought that this sword should not appear in the human world, and the only purpose of such rumors was to cover up the existence of this sword. ”

"So, why do you want to bring it out now?" If this is a sword that even Mocheng would worry about, then according to their style of doing things, if they can't destroy it, they will hide it in that place forever, why bring it out now.

"Because the barrier set by Natalia has disappeared, Avalon was not a place where time stood still at the beginning, when Natalia first went to that place, she became friends with the ruler there and spent thirty years helping them lay down this barrier, but Irina also said it, it is a group of guys with the blood of dragon rules, and they are in Avalon, which connects the two worlds, of course, they feel that they are pawns in some kind of plan of others, and they will not be willing to be controlled by the unknown with the blood of rules, and they have created weapons beyond cognition to resist, the sword of kings, excalibur, and this unnamed black long sword that has been sealed by hundreds of prohibitions. "Xie Qilan seems to have returned to the era of swords and sorcery again, the great magician Merlin Ambrosius who was so powerful in the Middle Ages," But even with the ban, there is still a problem with the creatures in Avalon, their consciousness is restrictively manipulated, their lives are deprived, and they have completely turned into Deadpool with only fighting instincts, and the three of us found this sealed longsword after killing them all, if it weren't for Natalia, Arthur and I would probably have become that kind of Deadpool. ”

"Kill them all?wait, what about Irina?" Nian Hang suddenly seemed to understand and was surprised, "You wouldn't say she was..."

"This sword is her body, and what you see her is its sword spirit, although her personality is not very reliable. Xie Qilan responded to Nian Hang's surprise, "Because of the ban, her ability has been limited, but now that the time ban laid by Mocheng has disappeared, it is estimated that only you can prevent her power from causing disaster, Irina, I know that you have always been here, and it is not difficult for you to enter the restriction of this magic array, you can come out." ”

"Really, it won't be good for people to peek at it for a while. Behind Gu Nianhang, flocks of red butterflies flew around, and Irina in a black dress in the center of them slowly appeared, she looked at Nianhang, and asked with a smile, "Then now, do you still like me with a different identity?"

"Then do you still like me?" Since it was the same question, Nian Hang's answer had always been the same, and he was not afraid of Irina because of his identity.

"That's a pity, I thought I would lock you up and enjoy it alone if you didn't like it. Irina looked sorry.

"You can't catch me right now. Gu Nianhang raised the long sword in his hand, at the moment when Irina appeared, he could sense the connection between himself and this sword, it was very subtle, like the sound of a heartbeat calming down when sleeping, faint but indispensable, and as long as he wanted, he could seal Irina back into the sword at any time, although I don't know if this sword can still be used at that time.

"You're a bad guy. Irina bit her lip dissatisfied, but her face was pitiful, but she was grabbed by Nian Hang and held her in her arms and couldn't move.

"Okay, Qilan, you go on. Subduing this really unreliable sword spirit, Nian Hang motioned for Xie Qilan to continue.

"Then there's the question of Natalia's identity, you can feel it, the control of time, the unlimited elemental transformation, and the previous immortality, either way, is beyond my knowledge, let alone human. "Don't talk about Gu Nianhang, even Xie Qilan sometimes feels terrified of Natalia's ability, the kind of power that is close to the limit of the concept but follows the rules, if it is fully discovered by humans, it is estimated that human beings will be able to march deeper into the universe," and what I want to say is that she is not a creature on the earth that can evolve, no matter how much she mutates, she will definitely not reach this level. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the first appearance of the dragons was because of a meteor shower that almost destroyed the earth, you mean, Mocheng is a dragon and the dragons are alien creatures?"

"That's right, she's a dragon, or rather, she's changed from another species to a dragon. Originally, Nian Hang thought that Qilan would laugh and deny it, but he didn't expect him to affirm it directly, "Mo Cheng must have often mentioned the myth of Genesis Kolotis in her memory before, it was not a myth, it was a fragment of her memory, she herself had studied this memory deeply, but except for Arthur, I and Corvinus basically never talked about it." ”

"Are she friends with Corvinus?" Nian Hang wondered.

"Sort of, he was cursed by a dragon-blooded wizard to become a human, I don't know if that wizard made a mistake in the spell, even Natalia couldn't solve it, the two people who have lived for a long time naturally have a lot of common points, and although Vlad has also lived for a long time, but since that time, Mocheng has no interest in studying those things anymore, so I haven't talked to him. Qi Lan's words surprised Nian Hang, the biggest trump card of the highest will, the Vampire True Ancestor and the Wolf King, turned out to be his friends in the scarlet night, but he was thinking about another point, if those with ulterior motives caught this, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry, that guy has no feelings for humans and won't say it at all, and the only ones left to know are me and Vlad, and no other living person knows. Xie Qilan motioned to Nian Hang not to worry about these boring questions, and continued to listen to him finish speaking.

"At the beginning, Natalia found that the Genesis myth in her memory was very peculiar, because if you take it as a fact, it can be completely reasonable, you must know that no matter what the myth is, there will definitely be loopholes and problems, so Mocheng based on this assumption in order to explore the truth of the previous generation of time, began to develop a kind of space-time positioning magic, you know, this incredible magic she actually succeeded, but later she reflected and found that this ability is not constructed from external elements, but comes from her power itself, that is to say, she is the master of the rules, that is, the dragon king of Genesis, the king of the dragon family whose rule attribute is time and space。 ”

"But this doesn't explain the dragon kings who began to resurrect on Earth, there are only seven dragon slaying battles in your image, but in fact, Natalia has killed ten dragon kings before this and handed them over to one person for safekeeping, although I don't know who that person is, but it should be worthy of her trust. Later, in the case of the continuous resurrection of the dragon king, Mo Cheng began to investigate again, and finally found the problem, they are not resurrected by the resurrection state of the concept of arms, they are forcibly awakened by artificially, the beginning of the life known to you humans on the earth, in fact, is the end of the war between Natalia and the ten dragon kings, due to the huge high temperature and elemental pouring generated by the battle, which led to the birth of life, and the advanced creatures that can appear at that time, do you think it will be earth creatures?"

"That's... What is the matter with becoming a dragon king?"Although the concept goes against tradition, as long as it makes sense, it is not necessarily wrong, this is Nianhang's cognition.

This is the assumption made by Mo Cheng herself, because she has the ability to control time and space, but there is no corresponding dragon form, and her ability is obviously too much in terms of the power of the rules that the dragon can master, so combined with the fighting instinct of the dragon in the image and her memory, she made the following assumptions, the dragon clan in the genesis period suffered an unknown disaster, and the dragon clan as the lord of the rules was all forced to enter the resurrection period and spread the entire universe in the form of conceptual armament, and she should have been devoured at that time The dragon of time and space who was devoured by the lord of the elements not only occupied her body, but also occupied her consciousness when looking for a reliant, but gradually assimilated due to her injuries, which eventually formed her, an assimilated monster. ”

Of course, she didn't guess for no reason, after knowing that she had the ability to control time and space, she had simulated her past, and the power of rules would only be distorted when she met the dragon king, who was also the lord of rules, although the picture she saw was blurry, but she could recognize it clearly, what appeared in front of her in an unknown place at that time was a scarred dragon that could fall at will, and the first words that the dragon communicated with her mind were 'monsters'. ”

Monsters? And the existence of monsters called monsters by the Genesis Dragon Clan? Gu Nianhang couldn't help but feel that things were getting more and more tricky, but these were more like rumors from a long time ago, I really don't know what kind of mood Mo Cheng would be in when he was investigating this kind of thing, but everyone would want to know, the truth that belongs to them.

"With the ability to control time and space, then can't she change the past?" Nian Hang suddenly thought of this, so why would something happen to her?

"Because after a later war, her memory of her dragon king's spell was sealed, and that power was only the ability to travel through time and space, and no race could change the past and the future, because at that time, your existence had already been erased, no, it was as if Natalia had said that one of the four major battlefields could do it with their technology... I forgot what it was, and I was too old to remember. Xie Qilan smiled unnaturally, is it very old? It should be, it always has been.

"If all of this existed, it would have been a crazy time. Nian Hang exhaled lightly and said slowly, "The more I hear you say this, the more I start to hate conceited humans." ”

"It's good that it's your own race, don't talk like this, though, it's really annoying. Xie Qilan finally lit a cigarette, and in the smoke he was closer to him in Nianhang's memory, "They believe that what the world sees is the truth, they are limited to scientific research, and they are always based on the opinions of the majority, so I have never told the world what I know, just like you know, the real smart people are only a few, I don't intend to let my memory and knowledge become the argument of those fools, since they think they have the truth, then let them be satisfied, why expose them." ”

"So I just need to keep these things alone?"

"You forgot there's another one here!" Irina struggled to pull out her right hand, which was restrained by Nian Hang's arms, and raised it.

"Alright then, two. Gu Nianhang, who was in a residual mind, pressed her hand down again.

"It's your business whether you want to save it or not, I just think that you who don't believe that seeing is believing and are not limited to existing science are worth telling me, it's not over yet. Xie Qilan spat out a smoke ring, his expression seemed to recover a little, "Everything has their predetermined time, and there will always be a day when they end, and the eternal human beings who think they will understand one day by themselves, before you are still a human being, try to help them as much as possible." ”

"What about me, I originally thought that I could lie quietly in the coffin after helping Arthur solve the matter, but that guy Natalia actually put a time ban on me and him at the same time, slowing down the flow of our time, and I had to be stopped by that guy and said that I can't die unless she finds a solution to the immortal body, and later, I met Lin Xinyue again, I think it's not bad to be alive, well, until now, oh yes, Holy Alice, you must not have found the information, when the knight's sword was to seize Natalia's power, the United Church captured it, and Alice died to save her, so Natalia killed on a large scale,Caused the witch ban movement,I don't think you're interested in listening to other details.,That's what I want to say for most of them.。 ”

"You forgot about it. Nian Hang looked at Qilan with amusement, this guy is still like that.

"There's no way, because people's memories are incomplete, you can also try to recall by yourself, and you will find that your memory will always miss a lot of things, that is, no matter how good your memory is, in your memory, there are always a lot of blank fragments of your previous life. Gu Nianhang had no objection to Xie Qilan's words, after all, even if he deliberately remembered something, sometimes he couldn't remember it at all just after he did it, and what's worse was that every time he recalled, it was no longer true history, and if you recalled it over and over again, it would only deviate more and more from the truth, and then fall into your own imagination.

"So, you'd better look at Dian Jiuxia, this guy, the memory world in his mind doesn't know what it has become after going through those things, maybe it's completely distorted. Xie Qilan waved his hand one last time to remove all the circuits in the courtyard, and in an instant, the entire ground was empty, and there was no trace of it, "You can go and rest, let me stay here alone for a while." ”

"Well, anyway, as a friend, I still hope you live a little longer. Nian Hang directly ignored Irina, who was trying to struggle out in his arms, picked her up, and turned his back to Xie Qilan, who was leaning against the wall and smoking, he said slowly.

"Got it, my friend. It's really the same rhetoric as Lin Xinyue, Xie Qilan secretly smiled bitterly after Gu Nianhang left, since he sighed lightly, he tilted his head and continued to smoke his cigarette, ghost poppies, people are like flowers, you really have addictive drugs.

He is a lone warlock codenamed the Dark Devil, how long has he lived, even he has forgotten himself, Xie Qilan, Karis Constantine, he has used these names for too long, so what about his original name... Merlin Ambrosius, no, it's enough to even forget about myself, Nian Hang, although I just told you a story, but it's my life.

"Really, he shouldn't have come out of Avalon to help Uther in the first place, let alone build that sword in the stone to continue helping his son. ”

Nian Hang, Irina is indeed my apprentice, we are not wrong about this, because although she is a sword spirit, she does not know any magic, her magic is taught by me, and the person who can create her Avalon spirit and destroy Avalon at the same time is also me, Xie Qilan's hand turned lightly, no longer a cigarette, but a dark red square card, and beside him, there was a magic wand inlaid with nine strange gems.
