As if to give Antoun time to think for himself, Jonah silently drank his tea after he finished speaking. As for Antun himself, he also poured a large sip of tea into his mouth before pressing his temple to sigh.

"It's hard to imagine a world where there are crazy people like you, and they don't incur self-destruction. ”

Probably smelling some information from Antun's words, Luo Jielinti, who had been in a state of observance, suddenly interjected.

"Has Antun been to a world like ours before?"

Although she was a little surprised as to why she had made such an inference, Antoun answered truthfully.

"Ahh But there are absolutely no magicians out there, and if there is, they only exist in history and urban legends. ”

"History?"

"Of course, for various reasons, it disappeared completely. ”

Even without asking, Rogerinti understood what Antoun had skipped was. And it was Jonah who took over the conversation.

"It's true that summoning uncontrolled Heroic Spirits is dangerous, but we magicians only started doing this more than two hundred years ago, and there have only been five times in total. What's more, in fact, until about 10 years ago, there had been no major problems. ”

Hearing the time node that people were concerned about, Antoun subconsciously asked.

"More than 200 years ago? So, does it have anything to do with that 'apex of humanity'?"

"Oh, it looks like my lovely niece Rogerinti told you about the magician. That's right, it was the one who brought the world's first 'statue' that could be used to summon Heroic Spirits. Incidentally, he was the one who discovered the 'Void Realm' and developed a way to fix it. Because he hasn't been seen for too long, the magic world currently tacitly assumes that he has died. ”

“……”

This kind of introduction that sounds either shady or has a close relationship with it is what's going on. However, Antoon decided to pretend not to hear it for the time being, after all, if he delved into everything that came his way, the whole conversation would become endless. Without much thought, he shifted the conversation to another point in time.

"So what happened about ten years ago? Sure enough, the last 'war for truth' broke out?"

"It's the end of the last one, to be exact. ”

"What do you mean, what's the difference between the two?"

"Just take it literally. Since the appearance of the first 'Heroic Spirit', the last 'Great War' has lasted for nearly two years, and it is also the most abnormal in terms of time. ”

It's another piece of information that I didn't expect at all. In Antoun's mind, such battles tend to be resolved quickly. Could it be that because the entire combat area and the forces involved have now become wider, the overall duration of the confrontation has also increased relatively?

I don't know if I saw that Antoun had understood, and Jonah continued to tell himself.

"All in all, the last 'Great War' not only disrupted the order of the magic world for a time, but also had a significant impact on ordinary human society, although it seems to have been corrected later. ”

"It seems to be a vague statement. ”

"It can't be helped, after all, it seems that people's memories have been corrected. The details of the last 'Great War' are currently classified as highly classified by both the Magic Society and the Holy See, and that's probably all I know. ”

After saying that, Jonah shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Antoon stared at him for a few moments, making sure he didn't seem to know the specifics before he thought on his own.

If what Jonah said was true, then he could understand how secretive they were when they fled from the "Forest of Thorns" and talked to Rogerintine about the "War of Truth" - they were young at the beginning of the war, and they had been educated from within the guild as magicians, leaving the impression that "there were very horrible events at that time, but they should not speculate about them".

As for Antun himself, hearing this information will only make people care more. It can even be said that he changed from a state of indifference to a state of curiosity. Of course, as I said earlier, he doesn't want to ask unnecessary questions now, and he can't ask anything else anyway, so in his mind, the content of this topic will stop here for the time being.

At this moment, Jonah's voice sounded again at the right time.

"The explanations of the 'Truth Wars' and the 'Heroic Spirits' should be sufficient, now let's talk about what you should do next. ”

Jonah paused and looked around at the crowd, and Antoun followed his gaze before noticing that Altina had lowered her hand to cover her eyes. Just as when they first saw him, the purple eyes, which were as beautiful as jewels, were looking at his location. But it only lasted for a moment, and Artina then looked casually at Jonah, the host of the topic.

What the hell is going on with this kid.

Without giving Antoun a chance to think again, the explanation began again.

"First, let's talk about your current strengths and weaknesses. The time it takes to assemble the 'Heroic Spirits' for each war can be as long as a year, sometimes as short as days. It took only half a year to gather eight people, so if you want to fight an intelligence war, you must have already achieved the results you deserve. As the eighth 'Heroic Spirit' to appear, Mr. Antoun's biggest advantage is undoubtedly the secrecy of his own information, and the biggest disadvantage is naturally the lack of information about other 'Heroic Spirits', which is the same as in the previous 'Great War'. ”

"Wait, so you can fight with the guys who have already appeared before everyone is chosen, and if someone has already defeated the other six and gained their strength, then I won't have to surrender directly?"

"No, it's impossible. If one of the combatants defeats the other before all eight combatants are decided, their respective 'statues' will be destroyed because they cannot withstand the flow of power, and both will disappear from this world. ”

"I see, it sounds like a protection mechanism to get the ritual right. But for me, it seems that there are still a lot of disadvantages in the end. In addition to the intelligence aspect, it will take time for my lost power to recover, so it's still-"

"Mr. Antoun, do you think there has ever been an 'incomplete call' like you in the previous 'Great Wars'?"

"Huh?"

As soon as Jonah said this, Antun had a hunch that most of his demands just now would not be fulfilled. Sure enough, Jonah's next words confirmed his suspicions.

"There have been records of 'Heroic Spirits' of the rank of magician trying to draw a large amount of mana directly from the leylines, and then disappearing and leaving the field automatically. ”

Jonah makes a dire statement of the terrible facts, to put it mildly.

"The magic in the leylines is mixed with all kinds of thoughts, and if it is inhaled into the human body without filtering, it can cause serious damage. The circuits in the magician's body function as a filter in a sense. And it is the result of the 'heroic spirit' composed of magic absorbing excess impurities, as I just said. ”

Referring to the condition of Rogie Lynti after inhaling the magic directly, Antun didn't think Jonah would lie in this place. But he had also imagined that he was not a clone of the "Heroic Spirit", but came directly to this world as the main body, but he never had the opportunity to confirm it. The information now appears to be the basis for testing.

But there's no need to say it on the spot. So he pretended to accept the explanation.

"Now that I've talked about it, I understand. But if that doesn't work, what choice do I have?"

"While that may not sound good, my suggestion is that your next priority is to avoid the fight as much as possible in order to save my niece's magic, and to find an opportunity to regain your memories and help you regain your strength as soon as possible. ”

“…… It's really not very good for me. ”

"There's no way around it. In fact, even the upper echelons of the Magic Society have not received a detailed report about you, and I think most of them, except for those who witnessed the Heroic Spirit Summoning incident, have not yet properly recognized your existence, and now is the best opportunity to act. After a while, the other seven 'Heroic Spirits' and their Lords and the forces behind them will definitely attack. ”

"Stand-in...... No, do 'Heroic Spirits' attract each other? ”

"That's right in a sense. Considering that the four 'statues' are now held by the Magic Society, and the remaining three are held by the Holy See, it is best to avoid the fight in areas where neither the Magic Society nor the Holy See have much control. ”

"Oriental?"

"Specifically, for the sake of recovering your memories, I suggest that you go to your home country, Mr. Antoun—"

In the middle of his sentence, Jonah stopped, his eyes as if to signal Antoun to speak his own answer. Antoun suddenly remembered that he hadn't told everyone about his origins.

"Huaxia—"

"That's the main thing about the alternative proposal that I talked about earlier. ”

Hearing the other party's concluding words, Antoun thought quietly for a while. There was basically nothing wrong with the first half of Jonah's plan, he was very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses, and he also knew that he had no chance of winning against the "Heroic Spirit" in the complete state of at least Sequence 3, so he could only try to avoid the other party.

But the second half is still up for debate - it's still about improving his strength, and Jonah obviously knows that it is too slow for him to recover with the magic of Rogerinti alone, so he comes up with a plan to retrieve his memories. However, after so many years in another world, he no longer has much attachment to everything on earth, and only occasionally thinks of the time spent with his parents, senior sisters, and some friends.

The parallel world Earth in which Antun is now located is far behind the original world in terms of technology, and even considering the historical differences between the two worlds, there is a gap of decades between the two sides in time. Those who are familiar are definitely in the future, not now, even if they exist.

Coupled with the fact that he was an ordinary person when he was on Earth, he didn't think he could find any opportunity to help regain his strength.

Looking at Mr. Antoun's frown, it seemed that he was still suspicious of some part. Let me guess if I think it is not possible to recover my strength like this?"

Jonah's sudden guess was so accurate that Antoun was taken aback.

"In that case, I have one more addition to the proposal just now. ”

Could it be—

"If Luo Jielinti's strength can be improved, I think it will also help you recover. For this, a little adventure must be taken. Mr. Antoun, you must escort her to London, the city where the Magic Society is headquartered, and ask her master to help her heal the damage to the magic circuit, and then transplant the magic mark. ”

…… It seems to be a new and interesting word, but in general it is also a proposal with unequal risk and reward.

Just when Antoon finally couldn't help but complain, unlike the one who had served the tea earlier, another of the housemaids panicked into the hall and whispered something to Jonah.

"I see, lead the way. ”

As he spoke, he got up from the couch and looked at the crowd.

"Pause for a moment, the friend you brought seems to have woken up. ”
