"What's wrong? Eat something unclean?" Blaise stared at Levi, whose face was dark, with a look of concern.

What about the pit daddy!

Levi's heart roared, and with the last glimmer of hope, he cautiously asked, "This Caesar Sparrow, is he still alive like this?"

Blaise shook his head, piercing the last shred of the other party's luck: "The Top of the Dawn was established more than four hundred and twenty years ago, the 'God of Forging' is just a nickname, not even a title, Caesar is not a god......"

"Alas, the opportunity was missed. Levi shook his head and said in displeasure.

"Opportunity, what opportunity?" Blaise was confused.

Li Wei didn't answer, but secretly said in his heart: Of course, it was an opportunity to hold someone's trouser leg and shout "Old driver, take me".

"By the way," he asked, unrelentingly, "did he leave any legacy......?"

As a pioneer traverser, you should always leave some care for the younger generations.

Levi calmed down and tried to remain optimistic.

"Oh, really!" Blaise remembered something and nodded, "At the door of the Hall of Wisdom, on the obelisk of the 'True Meaning of the World', he left a philosophical puzzle, and it is said that whoever solves the puzzle will receive one of his gifts. However, I advise you to give up, this puzzle has been passed down for more than 400 years, and no one has ever solved it. ”

"Philosophical puzzles?" Levi looked solemn, and said secretly in his heart: Is it the mystery of the Sphinx? Or is it a password such as "Strange Couples Remain Unchanged", "Heavenly King Covers the Tiger"?

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to get to the end: "Do you know the subject?"

"Of course!" said Blaitze, nodding, "the puzzle has been so widely circulated that some bards have written poems on the subject. ”

"Tell me about it!" Levi waited solemnly, ready to answer the puzzle.

"That's the ......," Blaise described as clearly as he could, conveying every detail, only to notice that Levi's eyes were straight and his lips twitched, as if he were going crazy.

"No one has ever answered this question?" Levi took a deep breath and pressed his right hand down in front of his chest, making a smooth movement.

"Of course!" said Blaise, "how can the puzzle of the Mad Sage be so easily solved?"

Levi did not answer, and secretly mourned in his heart for the poor bard.

......

The figures swayed, a teenager sitting cross-legged in a commotion, and at the end of the road where the black paving stones extended, two figures were approaching.

Blaise took back the opera binoculars and put them in front of him, his face showing a different color: "Oh, there are two people in the Council of Six, but Brad Wren of the 'Corpse Tide' and Caroline Dale of the 'Poetry of Shadows', it seems that the rumors that there is a contradiction between the Dawn Peak and the Hall of Splendor are true......"

"Contradiction?" Levi wondered.

"Well, no one knows the exact contradiction, but you can see the clues from the appearance of the Council of Six......" Blaise nodded, gesturing to a handsome young man in front of him, "Look at that person." ”

"Who's that man?" Levi asked casually with a glance.

He has always regarded handsome guys as dung, and of course, handsome guys see him the same way.

"Alan White, Divine Servant of the Eternal Light. Blaise looked envious, "He was once baptized by the supreme light of eternity, and he gained a natural ability, 'light'. See? His body was overflowing with pure white holy light from the inside out, as dazzling as the sun. ”

Levi wanted to say that he had also received the supreme baptism, but he knew that once the other party asked about the natural abilities he had acquired, the topic would inevitably lead to the ending called "self-inflicted humiliation".

He shut his mouth in amusement.

"Hehe," Blaise gloated with envy, "These two sent by the Council of Six will definitely make Alan uncomfortable......"

......

In front of the "Wandering Soul" square, two figures stood straight.

One of them was hooded and black-robed, slender and tall, and there was no face under the hood, but a swirling shadow, not to mention the appearance, and it was even impossible to distinguish between men and women.

Needless to say, this is the poetry of shadows.

The other person is a bit eccentric, if Levi is to describe it, it should be "Devil Muscle Man" or "Super Alloy Black Light". He wore only close-fitting shorts, had very little body hair, and his head was bare, showing off every bronze muscle without concealment, and his body was like a smooth stone.

However, this image and the title of "corpse tide" are really not connected at all.

"Limited to the curtain of the night, men on the left and women on the right. Under the hood, a woman's voice sounded, it was actually a very tall woman.

She stretched out her finger and flicked it, bounded by the center line, and the shadows slowly rose, forming a large curtain of shadows.

"Take off your clothes!" Devil muscle, uh, Brad pointed to himself with a thumbs up, "Just like me......"

"Undress, what are you going to do?" Levi stammered, he had experienced the unbearable past of the glorious palace, and he was a little psychologically shadowed.

"Don't you know this?" Blaise didn't hesitate, taking off his clothes quickly, "This is the awakening ceremony, and when the ritual is over, we will be 'apprentices'." ”

But the word "ritual" evokes more bad memories for Levi.

"It only takes one ritual to become an apprentice?" he leaned to the right and leaned closer to Blaise and said, "What is the process of the Awakening Ritual?"

"Do you smell the incense? It's a psychic incense that calms the soul. Blaise took a few deep breaths greedily, looking intoxicated, "The ritual process is very simple, surrounded by psychic incense, the whole body is anointed with whale oil, and then a special solution is used to draw a magic circuit on the surface of the body, and finally the magic potion moxibustion is used to open up the magic barrier. ”

"Potion moxibustion?" Levi tilted his head.

"Well, this is also the creation of the Mad Sage. Blaise had eager eyes, he was really a qualified brainless fan, "The original awakening ritual was to take potions internally, digestion was slow and absorption was limited, and it took seven days and nights to complete the ritual. Now, in just three hours......"

"Little one, you know a lot. At the front of the square, Caroline suddenly spoke, and there was undisguised appreciation in her tone.

Blaise was in good spirits.

"If you become an apprentice, will you be able to chant spells and rub fireballs?" Levi suddenly asked.

His question caused laughter, and some people were muttering things like "hillbilly" and "ignorant", and even Blaise pulled a distance, looking like he didn't know him.

Levi looked embarrassed.

Originally, he deliberately asked questions and erected a "soil bun" character for himself, and when he waited for the "prize quiz", others would be more inclined to him to hit by mistake.

However, Levi has realized that his problem may be too uncommon sense to cause such a big response.

"Spells, spells, magic gestures, these things should have been in the grave before my great-grandfather. Brad teased, but not angry, "They are the language and bridge between mages and nature, but when there are more superior 'spell models', they are naturally eliminated. ”

"Spell model?"

Brad's palms were spread out, his expression was peaceful and reverent, and countless cyan runes flew out of his body, centering on him, condensing countless large and small "constellations", swirling like a swarm of colorful fireflies.

Levi suddenly understood that each "constellation" was a magic model.

"Spell models are levers that can be used to pry the forces of nature into spells. Brad is teaching by word and deed, "However, what is more important than leverage is the fulcrum, and this fulcrum is the 'heart contract'." ”

As he spoke, in the center of the large and small constellations, a three-dimensional array with complex lines and endless layers emerged, like a star, fixing the trajectory of all the constellations.

"The first step to using a tool is to know it. The 'Heart Contract' is your perception of the whole world, and it is also your anchor point in this world, and it is the fulcrum of all your spells. ”

Brad's voice was not loud, but each student felt as if he was whispering in his own ear.

"With the same leverage, the fulcrum is different, and the power exerted is naturally different...... In the same way, different hearts determine the attributes of your spells. ”

"For example, my heart is 'corpse', which is my perception of the world. Life is short, but the corpse is eternal. For example, the harsh winter mountains under our feet can be known through fossils that they are the 'corpses' of the ancient ocean. Even the planes will die out and become the 'floating corpses' of the universe. ”

"My heart is 'shadow', the essence of the universe is darkness, and light occupies only a corner of the land, not even one in ten thousand. Caroline also said.

"All it takes is a ray of light to dispel darkness. Alan stood up and argued, looking firm and reverent.

Caroline let out a sneer, as if she was self-respecting and too lazy to argue with a small person.

"Take fireballs as an example, different hearts lead to completely different flames that we use. Brad held up a finger, and a cyan fireball ignited on his fingertips, "This is my flame, a corpse fireball." ”

Caroline also raised her finger, and a shadow jumped in flames on her fingertips, and said slowly, "It's a shadow burn." ”

Of course, the heart contract is also its own positioning, which determines the direction of development. Because of the heart, flame is not what we are good at. Brad said, "I'd prefer this spell to a fireball. ”

A dark circle appeared on the ground, and a giant walking corpse covered in rot and a strong stench suddenly appeared, letting out a hoarse howl of terror like a hyena, and stumbled towards Caroline, the miserable corpse dripping all the way.

Caroline snorted, but didn't dodge, just stomped her foot.

In an instant, in the shadows at the feet of the walking corpse, countless shadow arms emerged, like black waves that drowned them and tore them into pieces of corpses.

"My 'Walking Dead Path', and Miss Caroline's 'Shadow Rebellion', that's what we're good at. Brad said in a difficult tone, "Miss Caroline, can you take back your 'shadow hand'?"

Caroline snorted again, and the shadow palm that was holding Brad's neck slowly moved down, down the surface of his body, and sank into his shadow.

"The next time you dare to let those disgusting walking corpses come near me, I'll just break your neck. Her voice was cold.

"Haha, Miss Caroline is still as joking as she was before. Brad rubbed the back of his head and laughed dryly, as if it were just a joke.

No one believed this, and everyone looked at him with sympathy.

Don't explain, explanation is a cover-up, and it will only get darker and darker...... Zhao Qian muttered in his heart.

"During the awakening ceremony, you will simultaneously undergo the 'Heart Mirror Test' to initially solidify your heart. Brad changed the subject playfully, "Remember, the first rule of the Mage's Code says: one can deceive others, even oneself, but one cannot deceive one's own heart. Your perception of the world is constructed by your own experiences and thoughts, and it will not be easily changed, let alone deceiving yourself. ”

"Huh?" Levi's expression changed, he knew very well that as a visitor from another world, his understanding of the nature of the world was scientific!

What will be my heart's contract? Socialist Scientific Outlook on Development?

He was messy.
