Chapter 185: Negotiations Break Down (I)

Of all the disciplines at Wimpal Academy, the only one that Loren omitted was history, and he had been exposed to even herbalism in the rest, except for this one, which he only regarded as an "extracurricular reading" and only flipped through it in his spare time.

Dalton Candle argues that history is insignificant to wizards, and Loren agrees that history is a spiraling ladder, like memory, and there are always those who think that if they learn from history, they can avoid many mistakes.

But they are wrong, because when history "repeats itself" again, they still make the same mistakes.

Because when this huge wheel begins to turn, you can't do anything but watch it crush you to pieces in despair and powerlessness.

Or, turn into one of the wheel-pushers, though either one may sound sad.

And now Loren deeply feels this "sadness", as well as the long expected, strong irony.

In the words of the "middle two", he now knows the "truth" - the ancient evil gods have fallen into the world one after another, and will do whatever it takes to survive, and the power of the Holy Cross will become stronger and stronger, and in the distant but foreseeable future, he will no longer rely on the power of the church and mortals, and will truly "rule" the world.

It is conceivable that when that day comes, not to mention the wizards, the whole world and even the beings "illuminated" by the Holy Cross will fall at the feet of the supreme deity and ask for its mercy.

After knowing everything, what can he do?

Turn around and go out and tell the world that you are about to come to a great disaster, but don't be nervous, when we are all almost dead, the Holy Cross will send down the light to save us from the last breath, and then just rejoice and shout praises to the great Holy Cross?

Loren was suspicious that when he said this, he would either be taken crazy or not see the sun the next day.

"Lorenz Corona, the wizard who woke me up from my coffin, and even the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, thinks that the only way to survive this crisis is to summon the Nine-Pointed Holy Grail once more!"

Ariel's expression was extremely heavy, and the luster in the corners of her eyes was still a little sad: "Whether it is against the evil gods and goblins who have fallen from the void, or in the future world ruled by the Holy Cross, if wizards want to continue to survive, they must occupy a place in the present and have the power to fight against them!"

"That's exactly why they summoned me - even if it was just to summon the Nine-Pointed Star Grail, the power it spread alone would be enough to envelop the whole of Ebolden and even the surrounding land, a power that would distort reality, allow wizards to use all spells without restrictions, and give birth to even more powerful, even more incredible alchemical products!"

"Ebolden will become a real wizarding city, and hundreds of wizards will have unimaginable power in this land, and even use this power to turn Ebolden into a real wizarding country!"

The girl's eyes were deep and she looked at the black-haired wizard quietly:

"So, dear Loren, what you are doing is not just helping poor Ariel, you are saving the entire wizarding world, and you will become a hero remembered by history!"

Silent Asrael stood beside him with his shoulders crossed, his scarlet eyes exuding strange emotions.

"Sounds interesting and attractive. The black-haired wizard smiled indifferently:

"However, the 'truth' you are talking about seems to have some loopholes. ”

The girl's smile was still there, but her eyes were getting colder.

"What you just mentioned is a lot more truth than I've gotten from 'another' Asrael in the past, and to be honest, I thought you might have been sincere from the beginning...... If I hadn't met 'another' Asrael. ”

The black-haired wizard's eyes burned, and his expression gradually became playful: "And the lesson I learned from him is that you should never trust a devil who will really help you without reservation." ”

"Oh, dear Loren. The young man's delicate face showed an expression that was about to cry: "My heart is about to break." ”

"Don't do that, I'm complimenting you. ”

Lowering his head slightly, this time Loren looked at Ariel almost unabashedly: "So...... Miss Ariel Corona, isn't it too strange for a devil that you have told so many truths, but none of them have anything to do with you?"

"After all, you are also a fallen evil god, and the power of the Holy Cross is also threatening you, why are you not afraid at all, and even take the initiative to stand up so actively, showing that you want to help me and save the entire wizarding world?"

"Because Ariel loves Loren so much!"

"That's so thankful, but it's a pity...... I don't believe it. ”

Staring at the increasingly cold eyes, Loren's smile was equally cold: "I believe that what you say is indeed the truth, but not all the facts...... The reason why you agreed to help the Corona family is because you also want to get the Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star!"

"Once... It should be said that Ariel once wanted to get the Holy Grail. ”

"Huh?" Loren frowned.

Ariel...... Or the other "Asriel" suddenly smiled, really smiled, but the smile was no longer the original gentleness, but full of coldness, anger, and a little disappointed smile.

"Loren Turin, when I first met you at the borders of Lothair, I saw you as a threat, and I was too weak to even have full control over this body—so when I felt the scent of Asriel in you, Ariel was scared. ”

"Poor Ariel knows that if Asriel, who has been fully descended, finds out that I am now so frustrated, he will definitely encourage you to kill Ariel!

But then, and then Ariel wondered, why would the stupid Asrael leave his mark on a wizard's body?

Could it be that he, like Ariel, was forced to fall, but the stupid Asriel had always been cautious, and he would never let himself be left defenseless without being completely sure.

So, there must have been something that attracted him to do so at the risk of being discovered by the Holy Cross.

Dear Loren, you are that kind of being - the forces of the void and matter are overlapping rather than separate in your body, and you can even step into the void with your own body, or you can use the power of the void in reality without any scruples.

You are the living 'Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star'...... Who needs a cold 'container' if they can have you?"

"So...... Are you going to fool me into sending me to my death, and then take my body by the way?"

The girl sighed in a low voice, her sad look like the withering of flowers.

"Originally, all this can be very gentle...... Originally, Loren should have fallen in love with poor Ariel. ”

"Why did you become the way you are?"

"But rest assured, dear Loren, you are already deeply in love. Ariel looked at the black-haired wizard who had pulled out the "bright silver" like a lover gently:

"Absolutely...... You won't feel a trace of pain, and you'll enjoy an eternal sleep in peace!"

Violent tremors!

The entire corridor, and even the entire "underground labyrinth" of Ebolden, began to tremble violently, and the girl who was originally standing in front of Loren gradually became transparent, and disappeared along with the gradually crumbling corridor!

The black-haired wizard's expression didn't change, a trick he'd seen countless times.

Dream World.

"Looks like the negotiations broke down. ”

Asrael on the side sighed very regretfully: "Dear Loren, I have to warn you first, although it is only partial, this damn impostor has indeed regained a lot of strength, that is to say, ......"

"Don't worry, I didn't count on you. ”

Clenched the "bright silver" in his hand, Loren's eyes were still as silent as water:

"I would never use someone else's power to take what I want!"
