Volume 3 Sword Art Online Chapter 148 Abandonment and Liberation
The flow of time, for the most part, has become a thing of the past unconsciously.
Even if Wang Heng was fortunate enough to see the operation of time in an abstract time in the bubble world, he still could not grasp its flight.
Two years after Wang Heng arrived at the Jiuyuan Temple, something big happened to the Cangqi family.
The magicians of the Aozaki family have chosen an heir to succeed him.
It's not Aosaki Orange, who has been practicing magic since he was a child and has qualifications far beyond ordinary people, but Aoko Aosaki, who grew up as an ordinary person.
Wang Heng knew about this because before Orange left, he went to the Jiuyuan Temple to see Youzhu.
Of course, by the way, I also met Wang Heng.
In the past two years, Orange and the two have met occasionally, but they add up to less than five fingers, and each time they are discussing magic.
In Wang Heng's opinion, the orange is simply crazy, and in order to study magic, even his own eyes are short-sightedβit's not funny at all.
You must know that oranges have magic eyes, and the magician's own physical fitness is not comparable to ordinary people.
It is pure nonsense that normal research can play with the magic eye for myopia, and Wang Heng is sure that the orange must have done an experiment on his own magic eye.
Wang Heng didn't know if there was any result, but the price had already been paid.
It's really like a witch in the Middle Ages, and the whole person is tired and excited to the point of madness.
Until Wang Heng saw her again.
β¦β¦
As soon as Wang Heng returned to the Jiuyuan Temple Mansion, he felt that something was wrong.
I had just finished school, and I was still carrying the ingredients for the evening, and when I walked to the living room, I remembered that there were several huge suitcases in the porch.
But something even rarer has emerged in the living room.
"What's the hairstyle?" Wang Heng raised his eyebrows and put the things in his hand on the table, "Traveling?" β
Orange smiled charmingly: "Yes, do you want to be together?" β
Wang Heng paused and looked at the orange again.
Orange's hair was originally waist-length with a shawl, and it was draped behind her head.
But now it's tied in a ponytail, and even the clothes have been changed to a more simple style.
The most important eye, every time Wang Heng saw an orange in the previous year, he felt that her eyes were getting more and more cloudy, but now they are unexpectedly extremely bright and much sharper.
Wang Heng touched his chin: "Are you doing well now, has anything good happened?" β
Orange shrugged: "It's a good thing, I've been abandoned by the old thing." β
"Huh?" Wang Heng frowned: "What? β
"I'm not the heir to the magician anymore." Orange said calmly.
"Huh......" Wang Heng sighed for a long time, "That's really gratifying." β
Orange glared at him, "Are you gloating?" Laughing at the failure of a young girl whose life has been wasted for more than ten years? β
Wang Heng smiled: "What are you kidding, I said before that you went the wrong way, if you really inherited the fifth law, I'm afraid you will be crazy." β
Orange snorted, "I didn't say I gave up. β
Wang Heng shrugged: "It doesn't matter if you want to rob it." β
Orange raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you very disgusted by my pursuit of the fifth law?" β
Wang Heng pursed his lips: "I didn't think about it that way, I just think it's just that your pursuit of the Fifth Law has deviated from the essence of exploring magic." β
He glanced up and down at the orange: "To be honest, it looks much more pleasing to the eye now than before, congratulations on breaking free from the cage." β
Orange rolled his eyes: "That's the fifth law, the path to the root, you're too arrogant, right?" β
Wang Heng sneered: "It's not that I look down on the Five Great Fa, I just look down on the people who put the root path on their predecessors." β
"Every magician who is interested in exploring the roots should know that the moment the path to the root is opened, it is actually the moment it ends, and as long as someone has walked in front of it, the road is closed to everyone else."
Orange pouted: "Except for the heirs." β
Wang Heng rolled his eyes: "Even if it is the heir, he is just sightseeing along the path of his predecessors, and the root he sees is just a pseudo-root that has been observed by others, so it is better to say that he has gone astray." β
Orange couldn't cry or laugh: "Why did the five great laws become so unbearable when they reach your mouth?" β
Wang Heng smiled lightly: "I repeat it again: I have great admiration for the Five Great Fa, but I am only suspicious of the heir, and I force a path that does not belong to me, and the result is only one way to destroy, especially when he has the power in his hands that is enough to affect the world, he is not only destroying himself, but also the entire world." β
"I don't know when you became the Guardian of the World." Orange was a little suspicious.
"Not now." Wang Henghao unceremoniously denied: "What does the world have to do with me? Just don't bother me. β
"Are you speaking in a much more arrogant tone?" The suspicion in Orange's eyes not only did not dispel, but became a little heavier.
Wang Heng was stunned, lowered his head and recalled, and then said slowly: "It seems to be true." β
He gently rubbed the sides of his temples: "I seem to have been in the mental world for too long. β
Orange was silent for a moment: "I'm afraid your problem is a little more serious than mine." β
Wang Heng closed his eyes and did not speak.
Orange sent him an invitation: "How? Do you want to go on a trip with me? β
Wang Heng opened his eyes and laughed: "The first stop is the clock tower, right?" Do you call this a travel distraction? β
Orange disagreed: "What's not good, you can learn new magic tricks by the way." β
Wang Heng raised his eyebrows: "And then?" You don't stay in the tower all the time, do you? β
Orange shook his head: "I just want to test and perfect my own magic, how can I stay there all the time?" β
She paused, "I'd like to go to Northern Europe, I've heard that the mountains there are now the densest concentration of mythical creatures on the planet." β
Wang Heng nodded: "After all, the first country to go to the world was in Northern Europe, and their myths and mysteries were spread all over the world along the ocean, and it is not uncommon for mythical creatures to remain." β
"What about you?" Orange asked, somewhat curious.
Wang Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Myths are not mixed well over there, they are kneaded and remodeled, and they are 'proven' to be false from time to time." β
"But the mysterious survival is actually okay, but there are a lot of people who have been forcibly connected to the world, but at least it has been handed down, and there is nothing to complain about."
Orange shook his head with some regret: "Many of those ancient mysteries must have been destroyed. β
Wang Heng smiled: "The most important thing in Kunlun is the old antiques." β
Orange gave him a blank look: "I'm not talking about magicians. β
"The mystery has always been the older the stronger, the weak mystery surrenders to the powerful mystery, how long can the magician live even if he lives?"
A hint of gloom flashed in Wang Heng's eyes: "That's not necessarily. β
In the deepest part of Kunlun, he has not been able to go in, but the precautions are the strictest, even the Council of Elders can only be on the outer floor, even if he asks the ancestor of the Wang family, he is very secretive about it.
It's not an artificial blockade, it's just a ban that he can't get over.
Sighing, Wang Heng said: "Forget it, it's nothing, in short, there are indeed some things you want to see over there, but there are really not many, don't expect too much." β
Orange nodded with some regret: "Is that so." β
Wang Heng raised his eyes: "When are you going to leave?" β
Orange shrugged: "Let's go now." β
Wang Heng thought about it and found that he didn't see Youzhu's figure, so he asked, "You won't come in by yourself, right?" I don't care if Youzhu wants to kill you. β
Orange pouted: "How is it possible, I still know Youzhu's temper, should I say it is territorial consciousness or control...... In short, you have to pay attention to your own things. β
Wang Heng laughed.
A calm voice came from behind him: "Since it is so important, it seems that if I don't lend it to you, you will understand, right?" β
Orange raised his hand in surrender: "Okay, okay, just kidding, don't be angry." β
Youzhu walked up to the two of them, held a few books in his hand and handed them to Orange: "The secret realm information you want, but I don't guarantee how much is true." β
Orange took the book and smiled: "Thank you, Youzhu!" β
Then he put the book on the table and flipped through it one by one.
Wang Heng glanced at it and was a little impressed.
Indeed, as Orange said before, it is about the myths and secret places of Northern Europe.
Even myths, of course, are not written down from the perspective of ordinary people, but in the magician version.
A considerable part of the content is deduced after research, and it is no problem as a reference, but Quan Xin is a fool.
Orange didn't look at it carefully, but just roughly flipped through a few pages, so he quickly confirmed it, closed the book and nodded: "It's worthy of the Great Witch's collection, and sure enough, the locals know more about Nordic things." β
There was no change in Youzhu's face: "Actually, my mother's range of activities is basically in the three islands of the fog capital, and she has only collected the information from other places, and even I can't determine whether it's true or false." β
Orange smiled dumbly: "Youzhu, it's better to accept praise directly at this time." β
Youzhu pondered for a moment: "Thank you for the compliment." β
Orange chuckled and stood up: "Okay, I'll stay longer, see you later!" β
It's as calm as if it's just going to go back to Aozaki's house.
The two also stood up, and Wang Heng said, "I'll send it to you, the suitcase seems to be quite big." β
Orange thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, I don't know how long we will meet again after this time, so I'll give you one last chance to be courteous." β
Wang Heng smiled and said to Youzhu: "Come back to cook later, you can drink some tea first." β
Youzhu nodded, obviously not planning to deliver oranges.
Orange smiled playfully: "What about the old husband and wife." β
The two of them glanced at her, but neither of them reacted.
After all, it has been ridiculed too many times, and the lethality is really insufficient.
Wang Heng and Orange came to the porch together, and Wang Heng lifted the box.
In the past two years, he has grown a lot, so his posture is not very awkward when carrying a huge box, but the weight of it still surprises him.
