Chapter 28: Sealed Memories
At the beginning, the flower chain proposed to the dean to let Lu Tianyu team up with her to participate in the National College Magic Competition, and the dean readily agreed. However, there is one condition attached: Shangguan Tianlong must also join the team to participate.
The dean also said solemnly that if you want to win the championship, Lu Tianyu and Shangguan Tianlong are indispensable.
She never understood why. If Lu Tianyu is a legendary magician, with him, he naturally has a better chance of winning. And Shangguan Tianlong, no matter how you look at it, is just an ordinary student of the Academy of Magic. During this period of cultivation, she had been observing him and had not made any special discoveries. He had neither great magical powers nor a great talent for using magic.
However, she knew one thing clearly, since the dean said that Shangguan Tianlong was indispensable, there must be his reasons.
The woman in black seemed to know why. Unwilling to miss the opportunity to solve the puzzle, he asked, "Isn't he the most worrying?"
The woman in black glanced at the flower chain and said, "You are still a child of the family, can't you see that he is not human?"
As soon as these words came out, it was not only Lu Tianyu and Hua Chain who were shocked.
The person who was most surprised was none other than Shangguan Tianlong himself.
"I, I...... Why am I not human?" he stammered as he looked at the woman in black, "You...... What the hell are you talking nonsense?"
Indeed, it is really unbelievable to say that Shangguan Tianlong is not a human being.
Hua Lian asked: "You say that he is not human, but there is a basis? I find it hard to believe, and I really can't see that he is not human at all." I've been observing him for a long time, and I haven't noticed any other features than him. ā
The woman in black didn't answer, and walked straight to Shangguan Tianlong. Shangguan Tianlong involuntarily took a step back, he wasn't afraid, he just felt that what this woman said made him a little angry, worried that she would have some unexpected moves.
"What are you hiding, I won't eat you, I'm not like you. I'm here today to break your seal. ā
"IāI'm not afraid of you. Shangguan Tianlong clenched a pair of fleshy fists nervously, and looked up at her calmly.
Lu Tianyu thought that she was going to do something to Shangguan Tianlong, and was about to step forward, but Hua Lian stretched out his hand to stop him, shook his head, and signaled him not to overreact.
"Actually, you know your condition well, right? Why do you have no father or mother, and all you have is a house in this city, and you don't even have a memory of how you got into this school, and you are already a student here when you notice it. ā
Shangguan Tianlong was completely dumbfounded, why did this woman know this? These were his most secret memories. In fact, he never revealed a word about his strangeness to anyone other than himself. Although he has always been puzzled by this.
As soon as Lu Tianyu saw Shangguan Tianlong's expression, he knew that the woman in black had touched Shangguan Tianlong's nerves. Could it be that the first friend I made when I came into this world was not human?
After a long time, Shangguan Tianlong gradually came to his senses: "Why do you know this?"
"It's very simple," the woman in black said with a serious expression, but her tone was slow and indifferent, "because I am the one who gave you these memories." ā
Can such a thing be done by giving others a memory? Lu Tianyu was a little skeptical that his ears had heard it wrong.
"How can this be ......" Shangguan Tianlong had a feeling that the world was spinning, the only memory was actually imposed on him by others, and life seemed to have become helpless and meaningless at this moment.
"I've heard of magic that can tamper with memories," said the flower chain, "it's a lost forbidden magic, why would you do it?"
"To protect him. ā
"If he's not human, then he's?"
The woman in black looked at Shangguan Tianlong and said three words briefly: "Hei Tianlong." ā
"Black Sky Dragon?" Hua Chain's face changed drastically, "It's the Black Sky Dragon, one of the ancient dragons?!"
"Not bad. ā
Hua Chain finally understood the reason why the dean had to go to Shangguan Tianlong. It seems that the creature of the Black Sky Dragon has become extinct. It's rare to hear of this name anymore. It is recorded in ancient books that an adult Black Sky Dragon can not only turn clouds and rain, but also speak, and can change its form at will. If this is real, then this dragon must be ridiculously strong.
Although Lu Tianyu didn't know what kind of magical beast Hei Tianlong was, just hearing this name, he felt that there was a domineering spirit that reigned over the world, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and said to Shangguan Tianlong: "No wonder your name is Shangguan Tianlong, it turns out that there is this reason." ā
"No...... Don't ......" Shangguan Tianlong retreated step by step, feeling unacceptable, and pointed at the woman in black and said, "You lie! You lie! I am not a black dragon, I am a human being." I'm just a magician at the end of a crane......"
The woman in black looked at her like a torch and said a little coldly: "I'm not joking. Dragons can take on human form, but you're not there yet. Although your strength is already very strong, you can't rely on your own strength to become a human. It was the Dean who turned you into a man. It was the Dean who sealed your power, and I was responsible for giving you memories as a 'human' and erasing those that were not good for you. ā
She then began to chant the incantation, stretched out a finger, and then her figure flashed, touching Shangguan Tianlong's forehead.
So, Shangguan Tianlong saw scenes of the past:
In a world of dragons, two black dragons soar freely through the sky. Wherever they passed, the mountains and rivers stirred up huge waves, and the forests were like raging waves. The dragon soars thousands of miles, picking stars and piercing clouds. Thousands of miles away, in a blink of an eye. They grow happily. Finally, one day, the two black dragons did not listen to the warning of the dragon clan leader and entered the world of human life without permission.
These two dragons roam the human world, while silently observing the human creature. Gradually, both dragons developed a keen interest in humans. In order to get close to humans and understand them, one day, two black dragons made a contract with humans and became envoys.
The owner of the two black dragons is also a pair of very good friends. They rely on powerful envoys and demons, rangers in the world, and live an unrestrained and comfortable life.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the friend gradually became dissatisfied with this happy and free life, and was gradually corroded by the powerful force, and became bent on dominating the world. As the owner of a good man, after seeing his friend fall into the devil's path, after trying to persuade him to no avail, he was forced to use force to stop him, trying to make him turn back.
In this way, a protracted duel to the death between the two magicians began. Two black dragons, who were once friends, were forced to be involved in the whirlpool of human strife, each with its own master, and became old enemies. After each battle, the two black dragons will be severely damaged, both physically and mentally. No matter how reluctant they were, they could no longer escape from this disgusting battle. In this way, they fought each other for several years as the servants of the two magicians.
Finally, one day, the owner reluctantly killed his friend.
However, before he died, the magician unleashed some kind of forbidden magic, so that his envoy could not escape the shackles of the contract, and was ordered to hunt down his master forever. Unless the target is eventually killed, freedom will be lost forever.
As a result, the owner was attacked by his friends, and his wife was also killed. In order to protect their last remaining child, his master placed the child in his care and fought the black dragon alone.
It can't bear to be hurt by either of its friends and its owner, and tries to stop the fight between the two sides. As a result, the friend and the owner died together. And it failed to protect its owner's children.
The master's son was dying.
The death of his friend, the death of his master, his own dereliction of duty, and the accumulated trauma of years of fighting finally made it go berserk.
It was at this moment that the Dean appeared and calmed its anger. And after learning the truth, tell it that there is a way to save the master's son, and it can also be a man.
That is to unleash a forbidden magic - transience.
