"Coming in such a hurry, is there something urgent?" Tang Bai quickly turned his head and returned his attention to the potion potion that was being brewed, and continued in a relaxed and gentle tone.

"Someone has found a trail of a hunter." Claes strolled forward, stood beside Tang Bai, and reported seriously: "The latest news." ”

"That's good." Tang Bai nodded nonchalantly.

"Did the teacher say he didn't care about the news at all?" Clease glanced at Tang Bai's face, pouted slightly, and said a little dejectedly. This action is like a young child who has not yet grown up, doing something ordered by an elder, and wanting to be praised and rewarded by that elder, but being treated coldly in front of that elder.

Although Claes can no longer be regarded as an underage little girl now, in front of Tang Bai, she still can't help but show this childish behavior of begging for candy.

"Claes, you have to know that people's needs are always changing with psychology and environment." Tang Bai heard a little dissatisfaction in Claes's tone, glanced at her distractedly while busy, and explained.

"That means that the hunter and the previous plan are a little inconsequential to the current teacher?" Claes's eyes widened for a moment.

"No, it doesn't matter. If the plan can go ahead, the icing on the cake is also possible. Tang Bai shook his head, and continued: "After all, what I paid for this before, I will always get it back this time." ”

"I thought it would be good news. I also sent someone to verify it. Claes still had a hint of depression in her words.

"It's none of your business." Tang Bai sensed something, and glanced at Clease, who was suddenly depressed, and gently comforted her. Of course, if this sentence is considered a comfort.

Claes is the only disciple he has cared for and nurtured since he was a child in this world. Tang Bai knew her temperament very well. Knowing that it won't be long before her personality, this bit of depression and small unhappiness will soon disappear.

"Why did the teacher come back this time and no longer pay so much attention to the original plan?" Claes blinked, her palms resting lightly on the tabletop, her chin held high. looked at Tang Bai who was close at hand.

"If I have to say one reason, it's that the needs are different." Tang Bai was talking to Claes, but his kung fu was not sluggish or messy at all. Questions about Claes. He replied without thinking.

Claes didn't interject in the space where Tang Bai spoke. Just as Tang Bai knew her temperament and habits, Claes also knew some of Tang Bai's habits very well. This familiarity is even more profound, especially when it comes to certain issues. She knew that Tang Bai would definitely give her a relatively detailed and easy-to-understand answer later. Like he had done to her a thousand times when he was teaching.

"It's like a human being. Needs in early childhood. The needs of youth, as well as adulthood and prime of life, are very different from those of mental and psychological maturity, as well as the influence of the environment. A toy is craved in early childhood, but young people may crave something new and special in adulthood and in their prime. What you are pursuing will gradually become realistic. ”

Sure enough, Tang Bai paused for a moment. He spoke again: "Of course, this metaphor may not be accurate, but in other words, when you are poor, a little money is precious to you, and you need to spend it carefully. But when you're rich, the little money that once needed you to be careful about it becomes less important, or even almost none. Less of it has no effect on you, and more of it is just the icing on the cake. ”

"Maybe when the plan was first made, I needed it to be successful. But after all this time, it is not as important to me as it was at the beginning. Tang Bai finally closed the coffin and said conclusively.

"The plan?" When Claes heard this, she suddenly became a little hesitant. It's been a long time since that plan was set. She was a little unclear about whether she should continue to invest manpower and resources at this moment when there was a glimmer of hope.

"Business as usual." Tang Bai threw the last taste of the potion herb into it at the right time, and at the same time did not forget to reply neatly.

"Yes." Claes nodded, and then as if she thought of something difficult to ask, her face hesitated for a while, and finally she asked Tang Bai in a low voice: "With the teacher's current strength, can't you say that you can't solve the magic on that island?" ”

"I'm not a god yet, and of course there are things I can't do." Tang Bai said very calmly.

"But the teacher's magical attainments should be stronger than that Ketsya, right?" As the only disciple of Tang Bai, Claes was a little unwilling.

"It depends on which aspect of the comparison, at least in terms of curses and seals, Kezia's attainments are at least higher than mine. But in a one-on-one match, she's not too much of a threat to me. Tang Bai shook his head and said calmly.

What he said was indeed the truth, no matter what, Tang Bai's focus was on the lethality and utility of magic. Seals and curses and the like, although he is also proficient, even better and proficient than some elite wizards, but compared with some wizards who are proficient in this kind of wizards, Tang Bai immediately exposed his "half-hanging" confidence.

In this world, Tang Bai still recognizes the level of Kazia's witchcraft. Even if it is inferior to the magic system of the Harry Potter world in terms of practicality and utility, it is also the general environment. The vast majority of wizards in this world are weak and tight in the confrontation of head-on combat.

To put it more profoundly, the sorcery and magic that this world confronts directly are more like an application of mental powers. For example, when attacking a target, you need to concentrate and keep your eyes fixed on your target, and then you can release magic relatively accurately to inflict damage on the opponent.

"What's more, just like what I do, the world will affect me." Tang Bai reluctantly added.

"Is that what the teacher once told me, the will of the world?" Claes asked thoughtfully.

"You can say that, but I prefer to think of it as a mechanism for the world to work. It has no real ability to think, it is an illusory power, but it can be felt by many witches. Most of you derive your strength from it. Tang Bai gently spit out the two last words: "Naturally." The most peculiar existence in this world. ”

"I could feel its dislike for the teacher and for us, but it didn't really hurt us." This is the first time that Claes has talked about this issue with Tang Bai so seriously.

In terms of nature's affinity and grasping for its power, Claes was undoubtedly the most powerful and gifted of the wizards affiliated with Tang Bai such as Lilia when she was a minor. But as she became an adult, as she grew older, Claes was sensitive to the fact that this power was declining in her body.

Although it can't affect her own strength, this kind of change can naturally attract the attention of every wizard. Especially in the case of a few witches such as Lilith, the reason for this is naturally even more worth exploring.

"That's because you, like me, are violating the mechanics it works on." Tang Bai glanced at Clais, who was close to 100 years old but still looked like a cleaning girl, and pointed out sharply: "In the eyes of nature, all things are the limits of their own existence, and violating this boundary is violating the balance rules that they abide by and operate. ”

"Vampires, and you who are supposed to be dying of old age, but still maintain your youth and vigorous vitality, are considered to be violators of this rule, and will attract natural disgust and rejection. The longer you live, the stronger this disgust and rejection becomes. ”

"Will there be serious consequences?" Clase's heart tightened slightly. Although her attainments and achievements in magic have long been what they used to be, she has undoubtedly not really come into contact with Tang Bai's level in depth.

"That's why I like to call it a mechanism in which the rules of the world work, not because of some kind of will and thinking that exists." Tang Bai said lightly: "The rules it runs and abides by restrict all creatures in this world at the same time, it also restricts itself, and it never knows how to be flexible, just like a rigid program." ”

"As long as you're alive and strong enough, it won't be able to do anything to you. Did I talk to you about doppelgangers? Tang Bai glanced at Clease.

"Isn't Miss Catherine a doppelganger?" Claes nodded, and gave a living example.

"Yes, the doppelganger, also known as the cursed doppelganger. Their prototype is the first two substitutes in the world to break the boundaries of death and disrupt the laws of this world. Tang Bai took two steps back, waited for the magic potion to be successfully brewed, and patiently explained.

"Silas and Amara, the original immortals, are also the ancestors of all doppelgangers. Although the fate of the two was quite tragic. For this world, existence is existence, which nature cannot erase. There is only one other way for it to maintain its own balance. ”

"Doppelganger." Claes took the conversation, she had heard Tang Bai vaguely mention something.

"Yes, nature has chosen to shape two people who are independent except for consciousness and thought, and whose bodies, faces, blood, etc., are exactly the same as Silas and Amara, etc., to die and suffer in their place." Tang Bai said and asked Claes, "Do you know Catherine's history?" (To be continued......)
