Chapter 6: The Law of Cause and Effect
Levi's heart was so confused that he forcibly suppressed his thoughts and asked carefully, "May I ask what Caesar Sparrow's heart is?"
Dao. Brad paused slightly, and uttered a strange syllable, "I heard that this is from some kind of divine revelation, and he has described it in detail, but no one has ever been able to grasp it." But I have to admit that this heart pact has excellent effects and is inclusive, and any spell in his hands seems to be able to exert full power. However, that description is too long for me to remember......"
"Lord Brad, I know!" "Brainless fan" Blaise raised his hand, like the most unpopular advanced speaker in the elementary school classroom.
"Oh? Aside from speaking too slowly, Brad has a good temper, a far cry from the strange title of "Corpse Tide".
"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Independent and unchanging, it can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, but I say it. Blaise spoke tongue-in-cheek and slurred, but Levi understood.
Tao Te Ching?
Do you want to be so hardcore? Seniors, can't they leave a way for those who come after them to live?
Levi was full of grievances.
He is very self-aware, and he also believes in the conviction and judgment that his knowledge of the world is by no means so profound!
"I would like to ask, what if one's perception is wrong?" he asked, carefully considering his words.
"It's quite rare, the world is big and can accommodate almost everything. Of course, if this happens, the world will not respond to you, which means that you have no potential as a mage, and you can only find another way......" Brad said with pity and spread his hands.
"One more thing," Caroline added, "if your perception is similar to that of heresy such as the Order and the Disciples of the Old Gods, then I'm sorry, we'll kill you on the spot in order to nip the danger in the cradle." ”
Levi's body shook, and suddenly his ears rang non-stop, and that feeling should be named "Rolling Thunder".
"Wait. He frowned and pondered, and asked cautiously again, "What if the heart contract is contrary to talent, bloodline ability, etc., then what?"
"I thought, I can answer that. Alan stood up suddenly, his expression indifferent and holy, "The two are mutually exclusive, and it is difficult to contradict each other. For example, my gifted 'light' can make me more deeply perceive the sacredness and greatness of light, which will inevitably affect my perception of the world, and I will embrace light more warmly. ”
"Yes. Brad nodded in agreement, pointing straight to the essence, "Bloodline and talent will strengthen the corresponding perception, and perception will build cognition...... Of course, if there are a very small number of people who deviate from perception and cognition, such people will generally become schizophrenic or become insane. ”
"Or a member of the Order!" Caroline added, her tone full of murderous intent, "I've always suggested that such people should be killed immediately. ”
"What about a warrior, or a priest, do you need a 'heart contract'?" Levi shrunk his neck, he felt that he might have to find another way.
"Of course, knowledge is the foundation of everything, and of course, unlike mages, warriors need self-awareness," Brad said, glancing at Alan, "and priests, they need to recognize gods." ”
He was still unsatisfied, and said: "It is also for this reason that powerful mages build half-planes, and powerful warriors build inner worlds, as for the priests...... Hey, hey!"
At this point, Brad snorted twice, but didn't say anything.
"This is not going to stay alive...... Li Wei stroked his forehead and explained himself depressedly, "I can only go with the flow and take one step at a time." ”
"Any more questions, dear Mr. 100,000 Why?" Brad looked at Levi, teasing at the corners of his mouth.
"Levi, '100,000 whys' is a word invented by Caesar that means ......" The kind-hearted Blaise leaned over and explained in a whisper.
"No need, I know what it means!" Levi quickly interrupted him, raising his hand weakly, "I'm fine, thank you." ”
"Well, the psychic incense is almost burning," Brad fanned in front of his nose, fanning himself the snow-white incense that was as rich as milk, "apply the holy anointing!"
......
Wearing only shorts and topless, Levi was lying on the ground, his back facing up, his arms hanging down naturally, and he relied on his will to support him without closing his eyes.
A cold touch hit the abdomen, the rapid wheezing around him, and the occasional girl's scream of terror made the atmosphere even more eerie and oppressive.
And the source of the strange atmosphere is the walking corpse that is responsible for the awakening ritual.
As a corrupt walking corpse emerged from the jaws of the skull summoned by Brad, Levi could clearly perceive that the entire "Wandering Soul" square fell silent, and deep fear appeared on the faces of each teenager.
To be fair, the walking corpse was sluggish, but its movements were quite careful and gentle, and when applying the whale oil ointment, there was no direct physical contact, but the wolf's mane brush that had been prepared in the corner of the square was used to brush it little by little.
However, the feeling of being stared at by a dead man's face with his left eye hanging from the corner of his lips was hardly pleasant. Levi had also been worried that the foul-smelling corpse water oozing from the corpse surface might drip on his body, but fortunately it didn't happen.
After turning over and finishing the back smear, the walking corpse changed to a black pen with a metal tip, which immediately left a deep scar of gold when it slashed across Levi's skin.
"Is there a magic circuit?" Levi narrowed his eyes, goosebumps forming on his body, "The effect seems to be ...... Magical diversion?"
He also knows some common sense.
Like electrical and thermal conductivity, people have conductivity to magic, and the stronger the conductivity, the easier it is for magic to circulate and transform, and the easier it is to cast spells.
......
"Almost," Brad observed, turning his head to look at Caroline, "ready to activate the Ultra Demon Array 'Soul Tower', Miss Dale, please give me your hand." ”
"Wait a minute. Caroline's voice was cold, and she took out a dark gray wolfskin glove from her robe, and then passed her hand over.
She has no face and no expression, but she expresses very well what it means to be "disgusted".
Brad smiled awkwardly, holding Caroline in one hand and pressing the other to the ground.
Hallelujah~~
The sacred and high-pitched sound of singing resounded through the sky, and with the square as the center, one magic array after another lit up one after another, like countless concentric circles with increasing diameters, one ring nested after another, until the edge of the square.
Immediately afterward, the circle floated upward.
Each circle rises at a different height, and the more central the circle, the higher the rise. The magic circle is stacked up and down, forming a three-dimensional magic circle tower, floating with mottled and mysterious light, the weather is deep and mysterious, and it is unpredictable.
In the square, everyone's head tilted and they fainted at the same time.
On their bodies, balls of light floated up, like bubbles in water, straight upward, and disappeared to the top of the tower.
"The rest, it's up to them. Brad smiled expectantly, but suddenly found that Caroline took off her gloves and directly annihilated them with "shadow burning" and turned them into ashes.
Fortunately, everyone had fainted, and no one watched this embarrassing scene.
......
In the Tower of Souls, countless wandering souls stood in front of the mirror.
In the mirror, there is a projection of their perception of the world.
Soon, they will turn from wanderers to believers, establishing their own cognitive system.
......
In front of the mirror, Alan White and a man of light came face to face, and he reached out to touch it, and the "man of light" immediately turned into a golden rune that overflowed with endless divine light, imprinted on his chest.
"My heart is bright!" Alan pointed to his heart, his face filled with the purest piety.
......
In front of the mirror, in front of Blaise West, there were tens of thousands of fragments of the opera, flowing like a movie film, and finally fading, but a rune emerged from the void.
"If you ask me what I've learned from watching so many operas......," Blaise said with the corners of his mouth upturned and his freckles moving all over his face, "that is, there is power in language." ”
His heart contract is the "mantra".
......
Levi Stansinger also arrived in front of the mirror, and in the mirror there was a vague face with a stiff expression, but it was not really visible.
He touched his nose, thought a few times, and suddenly had a bad taste, scratched his head in front of the mirror: "The magic mirror tells me, who is the most handsome man in the world?"
As soon as these words came out, the human face immediately came to life, with a hideous expression, and said viciously: "Do you know what the ending of the person who said this last time was?"
"Huh?" Levi froze.
In the mirror, the face approached, gradually revealing its whole body in the mist, looking like a dwarf with a short stature. The dwarf roared with his sleeves rolled up and rushed in, looking at the battle as he prepared to follow Sadako's example and emerge from the mirror.
"What's this?"
The dwarf was menacing, and Levi was shocked by his momentum and involuntarily took a step back.
Fortunately, there seemed to be more than one person in the mirror, and two more figures came out, also dwarves, and grabbed the angry dwarf.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence......," said the dwarf hugging his waist.
"Yes, by coincidence. The dwarf dragging his hind legs nodded repeatedly.
"What kind of coincidence can there be in the world?" the angry dwarf asked angrily, and said viciously, "Tell me, what is the nature of human beings?"
Levi was stunned and blurted out, "Repeater?"
"It's you!" the dwarf was furious, and in a fit of rage, he dragged the two dwarves forward, "Boy, I'm going to beat you to death!"
"No, we still have to do our duty!" the dwarf who hugged his waist waved his hand, and the scenery in the mirror changed, and the three dwarves disappeared without a trace.
What is this dwarf? And, senior, what have you done? to cause such a great resentment that has not dissipated for hundreds of years?
Levi, of course, understood that he was being treated as the senior.
He was stunned for a while, not daring to do anything more to die, and stood in front of the mirror in a proper manner, motionless.
In the mirror, the stars passed by, leaving silver lines behind the star tracks, and the roots of the lines were like invisible weaving hands playing, staggering back and forth, forming a silver rune.
"Is this my heart pact? so fast?" Levi looked surprised, reaching out to touch the heart pact.
Levi's expression froze, and three words appeared in his consciousness.
"The law of cause and effect? This is my perception of the world? I ...... How did I not know?"
