Chapter 32: The Wizard I Seeked
On the island of Karna, on the beach of the inner bay, a small fishing boat ran aground on the beach. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info After dawn, the abundant sunlight on the island shone down, and Woz, who had slept in the cabin all night, woke up leisurely. Stretching his waist, he sat up and looked around, and found that it was not the vast sea, but the beach and the dense forest behind, and suddenly sighed with some disappointment: it seems that last night's waves did not bring their boat back to the sea, as they prayed.
"Can't you escape it? Woz shook his head, but he wasn't dwelling on it. As for whether to take on the mission of the "Cursed Island" or whether to come to this island, he himself has not been able to make up his mind. In fact, Wox knows the specifics of this task, and even if the details are a little different, it is still easy for him to complete it. As he had told Harpy Gray last night, if something really changed that caused no one to complete the task, then he would bring Gray with him. But when he found that the development of things was in line with the original "plot", he hesitated again, hesitating whether to interfere in this task. So he left the choice to God to see if he would remain on the island after the night had passed.
Since the waves didn't take them away, Woz no longer hesitated and decided to intervene in Natsu's mission. Woz opened his book and looked through the previous records, according to the "plot" information left by his recollections, nothing should have happened this past night, Natsu and they only started to investigate this morning, and the head-on collision with Zero Tilio will not be until tonight. But in fact, Wolz vaguely felt that the progress of the whole incident had greatly exceeded the original "plot...... You must not fully trust the "plot" information in your memory! This is the most important lesson Woz learned after colliding with the chess player and the "scales". Relieved, Woz released thousands of "word ants" to conduct an in-depth reconnaissance of the entire island. It didn't take long to find out what was really going on.
"It's been like this...... Wadsz muttered to himself, the village on the island had been destroyed, the villagers had moved to makeshift camps, there was nothing wrong with the thing, but, "It's been a whole day!"
"What's been going on all day?" suddenly a somewhat hoarse voice sounded in my ears.
A man with a rickety figure and a funny mask didn't know when he came to Woz's boat.
"It's been so lively on this island lately!" the man said, standing beside the boat and looking at the sea, "Is your elf's tail deliberate? ”
Woz didn't look surprised at all, as if the man who had suddenly approached him from his perception was looking at the scenery with him, and said in a casual tone: "I'm on vacation now, and I'm not in the guild sequence for the time being." Regardless of these things. ”
The man was rather surprised by Wads's unpretentious lazy look. As the strongest man on the island, the most magically accomplished person, he was able to discover Woz's covert probe and follow his "word ant" to find this place, saying that it is impossible to be proud of it. But Woz looked a little discouraged.
Of course, Woz knew who this man was, and Woz recognized him the moment he saw him: Urutia Mirkovich, a high-ranking cadre of the "Heart of the Devil" of the Dark Guild, the head of its trump card "The Seven Dependents of Hell", is currently working as a double agent next to Gerald in the Senate.
And...... Uru Mirkovich's biological daughter.
He turned his head to look at the other party, and even though he cast the transformation magic, Woz could still feel the familiar magic fluctuations lurking in the other party's body.
Speaking of which, it seems to be the only time Urutia has been seen outside of the Senate...... The person he has been pursuing for more than ten years is right in front of him, without the "heart of the devil" and without the interference of the "balance" organization, just standing by his side.
Chilled by Woz's intently gaze, the masked man coughed, "What's wrong?"
"Get out of there and come back. Wadsz said suddenly.
"What?" the other party was confused by Woz's sudden words.
"Leave the heart of the devil and don't fall again. ”
Behind him, a crystal ball floated abruptly, aiming at Woz, and the Masked Man took a step back like a furry cat, fully alert.
"What are you talking about!"
Woz stood up with his body propped up: "No need to hide it, you know, Urrutia, I've been looking for you, I've been watching you. I know you're an undercover agent assigned to the Senate, and I know that your mission is to induce Gerald to finally complete the R-system and, by the way, destroy the council!"
Urrutia, the masked man, even with the mask, still showed obvious wavering, and even revealed the original female voice: "How is it possible...... Why do you know so much about me......"
"Looks like Presitto didn't tell you, did he," said Woz, who began to follow your footsteps thirteen years ago. ”
"But, why?" she also revealed her true body simply, a tall beauty, and although the white council robe concealed her wonderful figure, it also set off her long black hair extraordinarily beautifully, "Why is this happening? Why didn't you expose ......"
Woz smiled wryly and said, "Because I can't do this, and it's because I know this, that Preshito will rest assured that you should be a spy." ”
"So why!" cried the woman, who was clearly trepided by the development of things beyond her grasp.
"Because you're Ulu's daughter!
Hearing the name "Ulu", Urrutia showed a complicated expression, some nostalgia and nostalgia, and finally turned into disdain and resentment: "You just said 'teacher'? So, my mother's precious apprentice is not just two over there?" she looked at the island.
Waz nodded, "I was the first one, and I was taken care of by Uru Sensei for the first two years of your birth and began to learn magic from him. Leaving the teacher thirteen years ago...... After that, it's Leo's apprenticeship. So, Leo and Gray, who were bowing to the teacher in the back, didn't know I existed. ”
Urrutia only then remembered something, and sneered: "It turns out that when my mother said 'there is another son', she meant you. But I've never seen you. ”
"I didn't live at the teacher's house, and you were a young ...... at the time"
Urrutia's voice became a little sharp with excitement: "And then, didn't you move into my room after my mother abandoned me?" and completely take my place!
Woz's face was bitter, and in the face of this gorgeous woman's questioning, he was rarely panicked: "That's not the case, teacher, she hasn't abandoned you, and I haven't thought of replacing you......"
Urrutia suddenly became extremely irritable and smiled coldly: "Don't bother to explain. Die. ”
"The future shines. The crystal ball floating beside her suddenly split into countless pieces, striking at Woz in all directions.
Although Woz was not in the state, he was not careless, and had already secretly arranged the "shelter", which was activated and launched at the moment of Urrutia's attack, and even the crystal ball bombarded repeatedly, but it did not move, but the boat was not in the protective range when he sat down, and was quickly broken into pieces.
Seeing Woz's defensive magic, Urrutia subconsciously time-sped it to remove the effect, just as she had done with all the persistent spells before. But she soon discovers that no matter how much she sped up the flow of time in the shelter, the shelter did not crumble and dissipate, not even to be weakened. This means that the sustained effect of this magic has grown to an incalculable extent.
Woz shook his head, "Give it up, my word magic has been specially adapted to restrain the arc of time. Whether your arc of time goes forward or backward, it is impossible to undo my magic. ”
Urrutia's discovery also confirmed what Woz had said, and he babbled more and more irritably. What's even more tricky is that Urrutia discovers that Woz really knows everything about herself, and even the lost magic she uses has been investigated clearly, and she has a special response. On the other hand, she knew very little about Woz's information, mostly because of the information she had access to while working in the Senate. She knew that Woz was difficult to deal with, but it wasn't until she actually ran into it at this moment that she found that Woz was more troublesome than she thought!
Because Woz's word magic restrained the effect of time, Urrutia was at a loss for a moment: after all, it was the first time she had encountered such a situation since she had learned the Arc of Time.
In the face of the powerful lost magic, Wox was actually not as calm and calm as before, he clearly felt that the word magic stored in the magic book was rapidly depleting, so he quickly said: "Urrutia, you listen to me, Uru teacher she never thought of giving up on you, you were born with a spell of excess mana, in order to find a cure, in the end, you had to hope for the magic development bureau, so I left you there...... But they lied to the teacher that you were dead, and the teacher really thought you were dead! She was heartbroken......
"Yes!" Urrutia sneered, "so what? I'm going to forgive her, forgive her for sending me to that hell!"
Wads didn't expect that telling the truth like this would provoke the exact opposite effect, and he couldn't help but get anxious: "No, it's all my fault." I know you're not dead......! But the teacher always thought I was comforting her......" Woz was stunned for a moment, and his voice gradually lowered.
"So she still doesn't believe I'm alive!" Urrutia laughed angrily, tears twinkling in her eyes.
It's over, it's completely messed up!Woz thought bitterly, what the hell was I doing? I had been looking for the opportunity for so long, but I hadn't solved the misunderstanding between the mother and daughter, and even exacerbated the conflict...... Most likely, everything you do is meaningless.
Is it really impossible to change the original "plot"?
In order to find a cure for the problem of excess mana, Woz relied on his identity as a "time-traveler" and his unique word magic, and did not hesitate to experiment on himself, deliberately detonating his own magic and making himself into a state of excess mana, and was once in a bad situation.
At the same time, Uru, who received the sad news of his daughter's death, was unwilling to lose a child again, suppressed his grief and took care of Woz, and simply took the news of "Urrutia is alive" mentioned by Woz as a comforting word.
Because of this, Woz felt even more guilty, feeling that he had taken away the motherly love that Urrutia deserved. So in order to make up for it, and not wanting to occupy more of the love that did not belong to him, he left Ulu just after he recovered and embarked on a journey to find Urutia.
However, it is conceivable that Woz's hasty departure is undoubtedly another great disservice to Uru, and perhaps it is because of this that she did not mention Woz in front of Leo and Gray later...... This is perhaps what Woz regrets the most.
At this moment, in the face of Urrutia, Woz found that all his words seemed pale and weak, and his own explanations were even more hypocritical. In any case, it was Urrutia who suffered, and in fact it was Woz who took her mother's love. Woz suddenly found that when he actually faced Urrutia, he didn't know how to convey Uru's feelings...... Perhaps, just because I am not qualified to communicate.
Wads' mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.
Urrutia did not attack again, and the sudden events did not give her the heart to organize a strong offensive. Shock, anger, bitterness, jealousy, and other complex emotions erupted in the heart at the same time. No wonder this man knows me so well, he's been looking for me for thirteen years!?
With an explanation of the previous question, knowing the reason why this man pursued and investigated himself, Urrutia did not feel relaxed, but felt very ridiculous, it can be seen that for thirteen years, he has always controlled his own place. But!
"Why are you putting off telling yourself this today?" she asked, "why not thirteen years ago, when it began?"
Urrutia, who had been cold for thirteen years, suddenly felt a sharp sadness. She forcibly suppressed her tears and looked at Woz with cold eyes.
Woz tore the buttons of his chest shirt, revealing his **** chest: "Because I can't beat Preshito!" On his chest, there was a huge scar, from his right shoulder to his left waist, dividing his body into two parts. The hideous scars had long since faded with time, covered in other later scars. But with her sensitivity to time, Urrutia knew that the time of that scar was about ten years.
"I found you when I was in the Central Library of the Tower of Babel, but Preshito was by your side at that time, and he only came to find you after defeating me......" Waz shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't want to make excuses, it's true that I did it, and when I healed from my injuries, you are already in the Demon Heart Headquarters, and in addition to the Demon Heart, there is also a Balance Organization that is constantly interfering with me." And then ...... It's the news of the teacher's death, and when I heard the news, I didn't know if there was any point in looking for you......"
Woz was in a trance, as if he was caught in a memory, but Urrutia didn't interrupt him, and listened quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
“…… But I didn't give up," Waz quickly explained...... "I even stormed the Demon Heart Headquarters at one point, the Magic Guide Ship. But it was quickly knocked down. ”
I wasn't on the ship then!Urutia recalls that eight years ago the president had sent her on a mission: to the Tower of Paradise to lure Gerald. After coming back, the magic guide ship did have a lot of damage, and it took me a lot of effort to repair it. Did this man really break into the headquarters single-handedly? How did he survive?
Urrutia shook her head and sighed secretly, her face not softening in the slightest: "So what? What do you want to say? Do you want me to forgive my mother and you?"
Waz was dumbfounded. I'm good at word magic.,But for the communication between words.,It's unexpectedly unfamiliar.。 Indeed, Woz himself didn't know what he was trying to say.
