Chapter 25: The Past
(This is yesterday's code did not pass on ~ took advantage of the break to send it, tomorrow the double more to make up for today's ~ and then weakly ask for recommendations...... )
Kenneid Prescott, a young magician who once showed extraordinary talent in the clock tower, devoted himself to the study of Dead Apostles and demons, and did not seem to have much of a future, but because of his achievements he entered a special field. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Otherworldly life, or the undead of another dimension, can't even be called life, it's a special form, and the magician is also deeply obsessed with these after discovering this, so he began to study those existences, and finally, completed some kind of theory that may change the entire life system.
However, before he could delve deeper, the results of his work were known to the other magicians, and the ensuing designated seals forced him to flee the clock tower immediately, taking his wife and assistant with him.
For the next few years, they hid somewhere in Europe to continue his research, and in the process, he was very happy to welcome the birth of his lovely daughter, who inherited his mother's beauty and his intelligence, and he happily named his daughter Age.
In fact, this person with the name of "Genius of Demon Studies" is an anomaly, and unlike other magicians who can already be defined as inhuman and detached from human nature, he is more like an ordinary person with a special career.
He was a scholar, and it was his beloved wife who led him to this path that interested him, and in some ways he loved his only family more than the devil's path.
When Edgie was born, Kenneth almost always regarded himself as the happiest person, and because of this, he became more and more fond of his daughter, and in such warmth, it often made a man's career heart begin to burst out.
So, he studied the truth he was obsessed with even harder, until he met the man, who did not seem to be strange, dark-skinned, tall and thin, with a pair of glasses, but it was such an ordinary man, dressed in a very strange attire, and wearing a somewhat strange cloak.
The first time the man met Kenneid, it was when Kenneid's research was at an impasse, and he met him while walking alone on the street, and the man smiled the moment he saw him.
"You're a very special magician, but you seem to be in trouble, and I think you're pretty nice to the eye, huh...... I'll give you a piece of advice, some successes will definitely require a failure, and it's always good to be cautious about the price of this failure~"
Although he was surprised by this man and very puzzled by his words, it was just an unrelated passerby, and Kenneth ignored it, and soon found a breakthrough and continued his research.
He conducted a lot of tests, completed a lot of conjectures, and finally he stole the relics of the church, along with a lot of secret information, and stole some treasures of the Magic Society, and carried out a great feat that he was extremely confident in a hidden location.
However, he failed, as the mysterious man said, he failed, although in that moment of failure, he understood a lot, and also knew what his research should be, because in a way, he was also "successful", although, in the end, it collapsed because of this success.
His wife died on the spot as a sacrifice, and his daughter, in the form of his "success", even if such success was flawed, was also a "success", and even if the daughter who was his fruit would soon die, it was born after all.
He wanted to stop it, but at that time, he was also in a near-death situation, and if there were no accidents, there was no other possibility than to meet death after understanding everything, but there would never be a shortage of accidents in this world.
Dressed in a black cloak, tall, lanky, with short hair, dark skin, a pair of glasses, stubble, and the same relaxed smile as when we first met, he was the same person he had ever met.
"It's really fate~ Originally, I should have said that, but this time I appeared here is not some fate~ Hehe~ Hmm~ Although I have already given you a kind reminder, it seems that you need help now~"
At the end of his consciousness, Kenneid, for some reason, clearly heard the words of the mysterious man in front of him, saw his appearance clearly, and did not know why, and there was a hope in his heart that even he himself did not believe.
"Although it is said that according to the boss's urine, it can give you a turnaround, but you didn't seize the opportunity before, so, of course, it is impossible to help you for free, but now, I am standing in front of you as a businessman~"
"You still have a lot of value, enough for you to survive, and get back to your original state, or even better, but on the other hand, you need to pay for your fate, this deal, are you willing?" The ordinary-looking man spoke slowly to him, and his words seemed to come from the soul, which convinced Kenneid for some unknown reason, but ......
"So, will I be able to get my daughter back to where she was before?"
Without any hesitation, Kenneid made his request to the merchant in front of him, in his opinion, his wife was completely hopeless, but at least he wanted to keep his daughter, and the smile on the face of the merchant who heard his request was even stronger.
"Allah~ Your share of 'value' is reflected in the fact that you are still alive, if you let your daughter live, your share of value will not be there~ I won't do this kind of loss-making business~" The man said this, but before Kenneid could recover from the gray despair, the merchant continued to speak.
"However, your daughter's 'value' seems to be greater than yours~ Looking at her current state, it doesn't seem to be easy to respond...... Hmm~ Then, as her father, you can choose whether to agree or not to agree to this deal for her~" The merchant said to Kenneid in a casual and languid voice.
“……”
"I promise!" After a moment of silence, Kenneth responded to his only expectation with the same calm tone as ever......
"That's it, then, the deal is established, but it must be said that your daughter's 'value' can only keep her alive, and if you go back to the previous situation, then there is no value, hehehe......"
"Finally, don't forget that from this moment on, your destiny and your future are no longer yours......"
After the voice that rang in his head slowly dissipated, the former magician named Ken slowly got up from the ruins, and disappeared from the place with a girl in his arms who seemed to be sleeping in the past, continuing a story that was not in the wheel of fate......
……
Ken chanted three mantras from his mouth, and at the same time, a black mist appeared around his body, tumbling, and from it came a sound like a wail or a cry, carrying him away from the fiery serpent released by Tosaka Tokitomi.
And when he raised his hand, a part of the black mist on his body was separated, turned into a human form, and looked like a warrior, holding a shield in his hand, blocking all the black keys that flew from the angle behind him, but as a price, this warrior was also completely scattered, turning into a black strange mist and drifting away.
After seeing this situation, Tosaka Shichen frowned slightly, he was a little helpless for the strange magic of the magician in front of him for a while, and the best way he could think of now was to keep attacking.
In the distance, the strange purple light became brighter and brighter, and this also made Tosaka Shichen's mood a little irritable, he knew that the magician in front of him had already started to run, if he didn't hurry up, his little daughter would probably become a fodder and sacrifice like the stump fragments he saw in that magic workshop.
Tosaka Shichen is a very strong magician, and being able to obtain the rank of crown level can explain a lot, before, when facing this magician who was given the "designated seal" for the first time, with his and Yan Feng's ability, although he did not leave the other party, but, it also caused a lot of injuries.
And at this moment, the other party is just more conceptual weapons that belong to him, but he can fight with them on a par with him when he and Yan Feng join forces, and from the other party's expression and attitude, it still seems to be very relaxed.
Now, Tosaka Shichen even has a little doubt in his heart, because from his reason, it is easy to judge that when the other party's magic power is obviously still sufficient, he has already developed a sense of fatigue, if it goes on like this, not to mention the shame of Yixue, what he needs to care more about is that he still has Yan Feng's life.
When Tosaka Toshitomi was in distress, Ken, who was the opponent of him and Yan Feng, was of course in a very good mood, and even this magician, who had always been able to control his emotions well, already had a smile on his face, which was excited, like some long-cherished wish was finally about to be fulfilled.
Yes, Ken is very happy now, because the problem that has kept him at ease for so many years is finally going to be solved, just like what he once told Sakura, Aki's problem is actually a "missing", and the way he has found is to make up for it.
However, after careful attempts, Ken found that if it was only one or two people, it was very insufficient, but it could have a very weak effect, and it would soon cause a "rebound", so he began to adopt the child, he was ready, calculated, and wanted to solve his baby daughter's problem once and for all.
But these children are not enough, but they are just ordinary people, or children with extremely meager magical bloodlines, are far from enough sacrifices for Ken until Sakura appears.
It can definitely be called a genius's magic talent, a strong magician bloodline, and most importantly, her attribute, Shadow, which happens to be one of the few attributes that can fit Edge, so, when he realized all this, Ken began his preparation and began to make him excited.
As long as the root of the girl who surprised him is fully awakened, and then she is so good as a sacrifice, then Ken is completely sure that Aiqi will be completely intact, and will become the perfect existence he chases, and achieve a new life beyond humanity and beyond the Dead Apostles.
Unfortunately, in the distant cave, some Ken began to change quietly from the unexpected......
