Chapter 4: Lévy's Proposal

Levi's turquoise eyes flashed with a strange light: "According to the teacher, your memories should be the least likely of us to be tampered with. If someone else had told me that he had a memory of someone we were all close to, but who we didn't actually know, I would have suspected that it was a conspiracy. ”

Thinking is jumping enough, the girl thought. However, he does have a point.

"Indeed, if Vicky and Lin Na had said that they 'knew someone, and we all knew him,' the fact that there was no such person in all of our memories," said the girl, "I would have thought that someone had left a false memory in their hearts with a spell of confusion." With the excuse that 'your memories are real, and other people's memories have been tampered with,' they can be easily approached. ”

"But you're a guy who can't implant false memories," Levi shook his head, "and if you remember something that no one else remembers, I'll suspect someone else is wrong." ”

So I had to imagine a nightmarish situation: the whole world was only my own memories that didn't match others? Perhaps, only I remember this man named John Goth. The girl said. She was confident in the correctness of her memory.

"You're right," said Lévy, "between the world and yourself, which one to trust...... Ah, the classic philosophical question. Permission for me to ask about the other Black Apostles 'John Goth'? Maybe there will be a breakthrough. ”

"Even if I don't agree, won't you ask?"

"Well said." Levi closed his eyes again as he spoke. About five minutes later, he opened his eyes.

"Everybody has replied," Levi said, "and none of the other five Black Apostles know this man. ”

"Sure enough......" Xiaowei made a voice through the phantom ring on the girl's finger.

The girl, on the other hand, captured another message from Levy's words.

"Five?" The girl asked, "And you, the student of Mr. Palamedus, the total number of the Black Apostles, is six?" ”

"You don't even remember this?" Xiaowei let out a stunned sound. But Levi waved her not to speak.

"I'll check it with you," he said, "because no one can pass the test, so the original seven Black Apostles have been vacant for a long time. I don't know the teacher's reason, but the vacant is the 'sixth' ......"

Levy paused: "First Apostle, Peter Cliff of the 'End Day'; the Second Apostle, the 'Empress of Change' Beverel Bartholomew; the third apostle, 'Butterfly of Hades' Franbel Matthias; The fourth apostle is me, Levi Fedorovich of the Pale Moon; the Fifth Apostle, Alice Datai the 'Chariot of Nightmares'; The Seventh Apostle, 'Devil's Nails' Simon Disnell. The vacant seat of the Sixth Apostle has been vacant for a long time, and no one can use the staff 'Manfred', which the teacher created especially for the Sixth Apostle......"

Probably in order to make it easier for the girl to confirm the memories of the two, Levi deliberately said it in great detail. Seeing that the girl did not react, a playful smile appeared on his face:

"But it wasn't that long ago that the teacher's mind changed. Even without the endorsement of the staff, he is willing to recruit new students. A genius mage from Okad arrives in the Floating City. The teacher promised that once she received the approval of the Staff of Manfred, she would become the official Sixth Apostle. Before that, some knowledge will be imparted. Am I right, Miss Douglas? ”

"I will always remember the teacher's kindness," Xiaowei said respectfully, "even if it is only an alternate, I am very grateful." ”

[I'll catch up.] Xiaowei said in her inner world.

The girl blinked.

The plot direction is normal, but one character is dug out.

"Otherworldly creatures," Levi nodded slightly, "in your perception...... The Sixth Apostle does exist, right? ”

"The Sixth Apostle, John Goth, 'Star of the Stars'." The girl directly confirmed Lévy's suspicions.

Lévy stood up.

"I already see you as one of us," he said, "and if you know an 'apostle' that we don't know, maybe something big is really going on." There are several priority possibilities: someone has found a way to modify your memory; Legendary Confusion Control Spells that affect the world; And ......"

"A legendary cause and effect spell that affects the world." The girl took a deep breath.

Maybe the world line jumped or something, maybe I fell into a parallel world or something.

No one spoke. Maiden, Vivi, and Levi are all excellent spellcasters, but this situation is still beyond their reach......

"We might as well use the method of elimination." Levy suggested.

"I don't know if it's useful, but we can confirm the physical evidence of Johann Goth's existence," said the girl for a while, "and as long as he did, it would not be enough to eliminate all the clues by modifying the human mind to create an illusion." ”

"What's his personality like?"

"Here's my personal opinion: he's friendly on the outside, and by mage standards, he's unkeept and responsible, but he's full of strange ideas and isn't very good at taking the initiative to work with others. Obviously a mage, but he likes to act as a businessman. ”

"Merchant!" Levi whispered, seeming taken aback, "Does he have a lot of possessions?" ”

"As far as I know, there are properties in the Empire's Yangyan City, as well as in the Pure White City of the French Empire."

"I see."

The young necromancer groaned slightly: "Although I don't know if it's useful, I will also assist you." I will mobilize my network of the Fedorovich family to find information on John Gort...... On the premise of not causing trouble. ”

He suddenly lowered his voice: "Although it is too early, we might as well guess who the possible suspects are." ”

"You're right."

"I won't tell the teacher this secret until he is cleared of suspicion. Other legendary mages, including the Empire's dwarf prime ministers, are also best kept secret. All legendary spellcasters are now the object of our suspicion. ”

……

The maiden did not tell Levi that Goth had appeared to her the night before her and said something strange.

If so, then Goth, if not the mastermind of the mutation, was at least aware of his disappearance. He knew that he would disappear from many people's memories the next day, and even knew that the girl's memories would not be affected.

He gave himself a weird piece of advice. It seems that he is planning something.

Find an appropriate time to tell everyone about the things that can't break through to the blue ocean level, the girl thought. The girl is not sure how many people will believe in themselves. In any case, the reason behind Goth's words must be traced as soon as possible.

[What you guys are talking about today is really hard to understand,] Lin Na complained, "Do all mages talk to each other like that? 】

[Occasionally, it is like this.] The girl replied.

[By the way, what about the Military Academy and the Women's College? ] We're almost late. 】

[Warp off!] The girl did not hesitate. Now we have to hurry up and find clues to whether Goth exists, those idle things? I'll talk about that later.
