Chapter 050: Dilemma
The sky is getting clearer.
Xue Huan was sitting in the tent at this time, quietly watching the demon gaze in his hand, waiting for the rest of the people to clean up the camp.
"Kel'thugad, come out, I have something I want to ask you!" Xue Huan whispered in his mind to this old friend who he hadn't seen for a long time. Too many things have happened in the past few days, and it has also made him depressed a lot of things in his heart, and he urgently needs to find someone to talk to.
"Oh, my master. Come to think of it, it's been a few days since I've talked to you. Kel'thugad's metallic voice sounded in his heart. For the first time, Xue Huan felt that Kel's voice was so beautiful.
"Let me guess, master. You must have summoned me out for the sake of evil magic. After saying that, even Kel'thugad himself couldn't help but laugh ruefully.
"Not bad. Xue Huan nodded, then shook his head again, "But it's not just that, I seem... There is a hurdle in my heart, and I can't get over it!"
"Oh, I want to hear about it!"
"I've never killed anyone before. But since I had this terrifying power, I found that my mind was getting more and more uncontrollable..."Xue Huan held his head in both hands, and his expression looked slightly painful.
He clearly knew that in this world, it was simply wishful thinking to be alone. But the education he received in his previous life made him feel guilty every time he shot a murderer. While he repeatedly tried to convince himself that this was just a world that had nothing to do with him, ... That strong feeling always haunted him all the time. He desperately needed someone to solve this dilemma for him......
"Hahahaha!" Kel'thugad laughed low as if he had heard something funny after listening to Xue Huan's account.
Seeing Kel'thugad laughing at himself unscrupulously, Xue Huan was a little unhappy, "Is it so funny?"
"Huh... Ahem. Please... Please forgive me, great master. Kel'thugad was about to burst out laughing, "I think you're naïve. ”
"Naive?"
"Yes, naïve!" Kel'thugad froze, readjusting his tone and phrasing, "how do you think you want to keep your 'pure and unblemished' heart in such a world of killing, power, and strife?"
"I..." Xue Huan was speechless for a moment.
"Do you have anything you want in this world—power, power, wealth, or women?" Ignoring Xue Huan's predicament, Kel'thugad once again threw out his own question.
Xue Huan shook his head and said, "No, I just want to go back and return to that peaceful world, a world without strife and conspiracy." ”
"Stupid!"
Kel'thugad's voice became sharper, this was the first time it had confronted Xue Huan like this, and when the latter was stunned, Kel'thugad spoke again, "No world is peaceful, free from strife and conspiracy. If you do, it means that you haven't touched the heart of that world. To put it more clearly, you have always been at the bottom of the food chain of that world, and you will always enjoy the happiness that the top bestows. ”
"This happiness is cheap and sad at the same time, because your destiny will never be in your own hands!"
A few words, like a bombshell dropped on Xue Huan's heart, subverting all his cognitions in his previous life. Xue Huan's lips trembled, he only felt that his brain was in chaos now, countless thoughts were running around in his head, all trying to dominate, he couldn't calm down and think about anything at all.
"That's... What the hell should I do?"
"This question should be asked to yourself, what exactly do you want?" a quiet and ethereal voice swirled in Xue Huan's heart.
Want to get something...
He wants to go home...
Even if that place was not as peaceful and quiet as Kel'thugad had said, he still wanted to go back, after all, it was his homeland......
However, all of this has to be built on the basis of becoming a great magician, and in order to improve his strength, the last way is still only... Slaughter!
"Looks like you've found the answer!" Kel'thugad's dark eyes shone with a ghostly glow.
"Isn't there any other way, like reading ancient books, or hunting monsters?"
Kel'thugad shook his head and gave an answer that Xue Huan didn't want to hear the most, "If you are an ordinary mage, then I will tell you that there are many magic books for you to refer to and learn from in the distant Dalaran. But you're not the same as they are......"
"Evil magic, though simple and violent, is powerful and easy to master. But the fundamental reason why it was listed as a forbidden technique by the Kenrito Council was that the path of cultivation was extremely bumpy and cruel. First of all, the best way to cultivate evil magic is to kill your enemies and take their souls. The second is to absorb one's own negative energy, and the last is to read ancient books and meditate. But the gains from the last are almost negligible......"
"Think about it, my master. After you cultivate this spell, in less than a month, you will be able to instantly unleash a powerful level 1 spell, the Arrow of Chaos. You know, according to your status as a trainee mage, the current situation should be that it would take a long time to guide even a small ice arrow, but you can imagine how terrifying the evil energy spell is! Of course, this is also thanks to your demon heart, this thing and evil energy magic are complementary existence, which is why you can become so powerful in a short period of time!"
After listening to Kel'thugad's words, Xue Huan had to re-examine his strength. It's a terrible thing! To be able to put a novice magician like himself on an equal footing with a high-level mage like Thoil in just over a month......
"But master, although your magic cultivation is very fast. But at the same time, there is one biggest drawback!"
"What?"
"Psychic power!" Kel'thugad threw out a familiar name.
"Oh, what do you say?" Xue Huan was a little puzzled, did this have anything to do with evil magic?
Kel'thugad slowed down and explained to Xue Huan, "It's very simple, it's an eternal common sense that mental power determines the upper limit of a magician, even if what you learn is evil magic. But lately, due to your frequent battles, you have not been able to meditate enough, so you often feel a lot of spiritual power drain after just casting a few spells... This is also something you should pay attention to!"
I see...
This is like a game character in the previous life, too many skills led to a lack of blue energy, and his spiritual power did not keep up with the cultivation speed. In the end, it will lead to good skills, but useless ones.
"I'll pay attention to this!" Xue Huan nodded secretly, it seemed that he had to find an opportunity to meditate more.
"Finally, my master. Be sure to determine your own path. "If you just want to be an ordinary person, then I will tell you that you have lost the right to protect your lover, to protect yourself, and even to choose. Think of that poor girl, that's the best reminder for you!"
"If you choose another path, then please abandon those unrealistic kindness and guilt, because this path, there is no mercy!"
Kel'thugad's words were like an iron cone, striking at the depths of his soul word by word, suffocating him.
Nia...
Thinking of the innocent girl who had suffered his fate, he fell into a long silence...
......
"I... I will think again!"
Faced with such a difficult problem, Xue Huan chose to escape temporarily.
"Yes, my lord. Finally, let me remind you that the 'Demon Gaze' in your hand is one of the five great artifacts of the Blackstone Clan, and the magicians who hold it will not only greatly increase their magic power, but also their spiritual power. It's a rare treasure, please make good use of it!" Kel'thugad's voice stopped abruptly after the last sentence......
The tent was horribly quiet at this time......
The sky had gradually cleared up, but Xue Huan looked at the staff in his hand blankly.
For him, I'm afraid there will never be a day again......
