“…… What kind of prophecy is this? ”

After staring at his eyes and maintaining a stunned appearance for a while, Duan Qing finally grinned: "When did that group of restorers have such terrifying abilities?" ”

"Not only did they claim that they could foresee my fate, but they also claimed that they could help me break free from it." The smile in Violet's words seemed to be a little more: "Look, this kind of unconvincing threat is something that even you adventurers don't bother to use, right?" ”

"But you believed." She took off her hood early, but the woman named Xue Lingphantom Ice still maintained an indifferent expression: "That's why you made a contract with those people, right?" ”

"They persuaded me to nod for more than that." The Great Magician, who had become a prisoner, did not seem to care about the other party's rudeness, nor did he shy away from telling too many secrets: "They also made a lot of conditions and put out many other chips. ”

"Let me think about it, maybe it's those empty secrets." Pinching his chin, Duan Qing then pointed in the direction of the sky beyond the iron prison: "They promised to introduce you to those secrets that the Mage Council will never have access to in this life, in exchange for your assistance?" ”

"That's right, but you're wrong about one thing." Violet replied in a low voice, "It's not that the Mage Council didn't have the opportunity to uncover those secrets, but that guy Malok didn't approve of our access to everything outside the Tower of Tyranny, and as the inheritor and administrator of that tower, he kept the secrets of the abyss secret...... Alas. ”

"Now that I think about it, if he hadn't been trying to bury those secret existences, the tragedy of the tower might not have happened." The Grand Mage's tone became a little lonely: "I probably won't take this step into the abyss for the sake of my own research, pursuing the secrets that have been occupied by the Restoration. ”

"Your research?" It seemed that he had noticed too many things to ask about in the other party's previous words, and Duan Qing, who had obviously paused for a moment in his voice, finally picked a word that he was most interested in: "What is your research?" ”

“…… Is this a different question? ”

"If you're happy."

"Well, even if I don't say it, you may find the answer from the Violet Tower sooner or later."

Turning her head slightly, Violet gradually hid her bewildered gaze into the darkness of the iron prison: "The research I have been conducting is the method of enabling ordinary people to gain magical abilities. ”

“…… What the? ”

"Don't be so surprised, you're hearing it literally."

Ignoring the increasingly stunned expressions of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, Violet, who was immersed in her memories, continued in a low voice: "Whether it is the tragedy of the Magic Empire era or the silence of the post-Magic Empire era for thousands of years, the reason why magic cannot be known to everyone can be attributed to the fact that humans cannot fully master magic. Everyone has already determined their own compatibility with magic since the time they spoke out, and everyone's talent in magic has already shown a gap at that time, and this difference has not only become a source of discrimination between people, but also the root of the gradual decline of magic theory and magic research. ”

"Some members of the Mage Council have identified this problem a hundred years after the fall of the Magic Empire, and are working on how to solve the problem of magical differentiation." Violet's tone gradually became admiring and serious: "It is because of those ancestors who selflessly dedicated themselves to the popularization of magic that we have been able to maintain the entire research system of magic. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Duan Qing, who was stunned for a long time, finally spit out this sentence: "The decline of magic has reached such a point? ”

"You haven't been to the end of the world, so you won't be aware of that." Violet smiled rather sadly, "But I ...... I've seen the end of the world like that with many other magicians, so ......"

"Is the world collapsing?"

"To be precise, it's the magical elements of this world that are out of balance."

In the face of Duan Qing's subsequent question, Violet once again gave a positive answer: "Many places in the Free Continent contain precious magical elements, which maintain the balance and stability of those areas, once the magical structure is destroyed, many of the lands of the Free Continent will no longer exist. ”

"Just like I did in the skies over Tanzanian City before." In the sound of the clanging of iron chains, she raised her arm as she said this: "Whether it is the void or something else, the space will become extremely unstable, unless the power of the elements is used to repair those wounds, the only thing that will greet this continent is death." ”

"So you need more elements to fill the so-called hole." Xue Ling, who had come to his senses, nodded: "So you need to ...... More magicians? ”

"In the past, the Magic Empire wanted to go to the extreme of magic, using cutting-edge magic technology and magic devices to solve this problem, but we want to take a different path." Violet replied in a low voice, "Tavar, Lohndrin, Norman, and Staronoschi...... Countless magicians hope that there will be more magicians in the world, and that the magic of the world will become a skill that everyone can learn. ”

"None of you have succeeded so far?"

"Norman is the one who is most likely to succeed."

The feeling of remembrance became more and more obvious, and Violet, who answered Duan Qing's question, then sighed and lowered her head: "His apprentice, Clariant, even once used the magic array engraving technology to realize the dream of some ordinary people who could cast magic, but ......"

"He's dead, isn't he?" Duan Qing also sighed: "Norman seems to have mentioned this matter before. ”

"Looks like you've heard a lot of secrets." Violet raised her gaze again, "Did he tell you?" ”

"Sort of."

Seemingly aware of the "he" in the other party's mouth, Duan Qing then responded with a nod: "And I can be sure that Norman should have also been in contact with the Void World. ”

"Why?"

"Because he's in close contact with a weaver of fate."

Saying the intelligence information that his previous generation of characters knew without hesitation, Duan Qing waved his hand: "I don't believe that those two guys didn't talk about these similar issues in the time they spent with each other in Fenghua Town......"

“……”

"Oh, sorry, I may have mentioned some of your sad things."

Sensing the Great Magician's frustrated mood, Duan Qing hurriedly let out a few dry laughs: "But one thing I'm sure of - he must have also achieved results on the issue you are pursuing. ”

“…… Why? ”

"Because he taught an adventurer who would otherwise not be able to use magic to use spells."

With a proud smile on his face, Duan Qing gave the other party a thumbs up: "Those earth-based magics have helped that adventurer a lot in the future, and even accompanied him at the last moment of his life's journey. ”

“…… It seems that you also know the deeds of him, and is he an example to you adventurers? After looking at each other for a while, Violet burst into a knowing smile: "That savior of Tania, savior of the Mage Council......"

"The one who cut the sky, Mr. Moshang Aoyama."

The air was silent for a moment as the name appeared, and it seemed that Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantas, who had heard this name, fell into different degrees of trances at the same time, and Violet, who was looking at this scene, then also collected her mood, as if she also realized that what she mentioned was also a tragedy: "Okay, you guys are right. “

"I don't know how Norman did it, but he must not have used the same method as me." She blinked her eyes, "Because—I'm an alchemist." ”

“…… Do you want to transform humans with potions? Duan Qing opened his eyes slightly: "Is that kind of cocktail?" ”

"It's not alcohol." Violet pressed her forehead: "It's a potion that can transform the human body and speed up the adaptation of the elements, if the experiment can be successful, that potion can make the human body's adaptability to the elements increase, and the mental power will also rise to a certain height that is enough to sense the magic element......"

"But in the end, it failed." Speaking of this, she sighed again: "In the end, it was used by people with intentions and became part of the poison." ”

"If that's how the medicine works, it's probably the catalyst for the snake." Duan Qing replied with his chin: "But in this sense, you can be regarded as partially successful." ”

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment." Smiling in response, Violet lowered her head again: "It's a pity that I didn't reach even Norman's height in the end......"

"So you decided to touch the Void?"

"That's right."

His voice gradually became low and cold, and the Great Magician replied lightly: "I have studied for hundreds of years, and I have used all my knowledge and strength, I can even create many magical creations that can operate autonomously, but I still can't even transform the body of an ordinary person......"

"Coupled with the warnings and prophecies of the Restoration, I simply don't have much time left." Her hands clenched into fists as the chains swayed: "Even if I can't gain anything from the knowledge of the Void, at least let me use it to break my fate and deal with the dirty methods of His Royal Highness." ”

“…… The result? Glancing at the snow spirit phantom ice beside him, Duan Qing then asked an inevitable question: "Is your current fate in the fate you deserve?" ”

"Yes." Violet, who raised her head, stared straight at the other party's face: "So I have one more question." ”

"How did you defeat me when you were so weak?"

“……”

Slowly leaning down his body, Duan Qing's gaze and the gaze of the great magician gradually met, and only after a while did he open his lips again in the gradual solidification of the atmosphere: "The magic used before is actually very simple, just using the power of alchemy to instantly release four magic attack skills in a row, but with the blessing of Guangyao, the magic elements mixed together are each added to a considerable degree of attack power......"

"These attacks are still a drop in the bucket to you with the Void Dominator, but the 'place' I am attacking is different from what you imagined." At this point, he paused slightly, as if he had thought of something unspeakable: "I can't explain to you the rest in detail, but-"

"But what?"

"I said that if you were still alive, I would prove it to you."

The eyes that were close at hand widened again as Duan Qing got up, and the gray-robed magician then grinned and showed an inexplicable smile: "I don't know if you still want to believe me at this point?" ”

"Convinced?" As if she didn't understand the meaning of Duan Qing's words, Violet's eyes flashed with a little doubt: "What do you believe?" ”

"If you believe me, then please stand the trial in two days' time."

Finally said his intention, Duan Qing reminded in a serious voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince may tear up the previous agreement and put you to death, but it doesn't matter, I will rescue you and use the kind of power you are interested in." ”

“……”

The doubt in her eyes gradually turned into a shining light, and Violet looked at Duan Qing's face for a moment: "Really? ”

"Anyway, every other path you take next will not be better than it is now." Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders: "Why don't you take a little gamble on this promise of mine?" ”

"I see."

His eyelids and eyelashes twitched slightly, and the archmage's gaze rolled up and down with the nodding motion: "Do you need me to admit my crime?" ”

"Feel free to do so." Waving his hand to signal the white-haired female swordsman to step back, Duan Qing turned his body: "But I need to emphasize one thing - my salvation method also has a success rate." ”

"If you are really going to die, then to be on the safe side, please die a little more ...... Be a little artistic. ”

*************************

"So what exactly is that approach?"

Walking on the road leading to the periphery of Central Street, Xue Lingphantom Ice couldn't help but ask again and again, "Is it a method of using the void?" ”

"How could I possibly use the same lowly ways as the Restorationists?" Duan Qing, who didn't look back, responded with a smile: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

"You know it's hiding it from me." With a dissatisfied expression on his face, Xue Lingphantasm followed behind Duan Qing with his cheeks puffed: "Then where are we going now?" ”

"Where else could it be, of course it would be there."

Pointing to the purple tower towering on the side of Tanzania City not far away, Duan Qing's voice replied with a little: "In order to ensure that success rate......

"Some necessary information still needs to be explored and collected."
