"You must have a lot of questions for me right now. Abs sat up from the bed with the help of others, and a little girl helped him to put a pillow behind his waist so that he could sit comfortably.

"Thank you, Julia. The old magician stretched out his hand and touched the top of the girl's head, "You go outside and eat some fruit and rest, don't worry, I won't die for a while, and the next thing we will talk about may be boring." ”

The girl named Julia nodded, and Olavien on the other side also stood up, "I'm going to visit Grandma Eves and see if D'Addarion has arrived." ”

"Help me tell her I love her. ”

When everyone was out, Arbus looked like he was finally relieved, and said to Roberto, "Do you know anything worse than dying, and that is to be with a room full of people who know you're going to die, and they'll try to pretend you're still alive, and in order not to make them feel bad, I'm going to try to pretend I'm going to be strong and alive, forget it......" The old magician waved his hand, "why can't we be honest?" On the bright side, I've been fighting that bastard Steines for the rest of my life, and at least this time I won him, even if only for a few days. ”

"Because they don't want to lose you. ”

"Oh, there will always be a separate day, we are human beings, our lives are fragile and short, no one can resist the natural cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, but because of this, we can understand the meaning of life, and strive to live every day, just so that when that day comes, we can leave with our heads held high. ”

Arbus closed his eyes and took a few breaths before saying, "I remember that guy in Milford hid a bottle of wine from Prancing Horse, somewhere under your feet, would you mind bringing me a glass?"

His Excellency the future Wizard looked down, and sure enough, he found a bottle of wine under a wooden floor that should not have been there, he took out two glasses from the table, uncorked the bottles, and poured red wine into them.

"If you can, add some ice for me. The old man pleaded.

"Willing to help. Rob's index finger tapped twice on the wall of the glass, and a layer of cold air floated above the glass.

"You can always surprise people. Abs praised, stretched out a hand to take the glass handed over, and couldn't wait to take a big sip, and then let out a satisfied sigh, "One of the several benefits of dying, you can do whatever you want, if in normal times Yves would not allow me to gulp down anything cold, I sometimes wonder, did I marry a wife just so that he would keep reminding me that I was over one hundred and twenty years old?"

"Your courage doesn't look like that of a hundred and twenty-year-old. ”

"To be honest, I still don't know if what we're doing is right or wrong, maybe it's just because of the willfulness of a few old guys that we've led the whole of humanity into the realm of no return, but there are times when we have to make our choices, right? Just like you choose to protect the girl named Hatfilia. The old man paused, "I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, and first I have to admit that what you did at Mitchell's Magic Tower that day changed our plans. ”

"We didn't expect to have a showdown with those things so early, in Da Vinci, your teacher and my expectations, we will at least wait until the mana sharing mechanism is successfully established before we do it, or it is more likely that we will leave this matter to the people after us to solve it, after all, according to the two letters you sent us later, we should have a few hundred years left...... That's what we call it a fluke, but it's part of human nature, isn't it?"

"Then why did you strike again this time?"

"Because we can't afford to lose you. "Your teacher, and I believe that you are there for a reason, just as every magician believes that Roland is there for a reason, in those distant dark ages, when humanity lived a precarious and miserable life, and everyone struggled between hunger and death, and people at that time could not imagine the life we would be living hundreds of years later, and it was Roland who rewrote it all with magic...... You know, President Leonardo da Vinci's favorite quote - there is always hope there, but we are facing a war that is doomed to lose, and we have deduced it hundreds of times, but we can't find the slightest chance of winning it, so we old men have to play the scoundrel and leave it all to you to solve. ”

"I think I need to say sorry to you on behalf of everyone. "Your teacher, in fact, he has always been glad that you have found true happiness, even if this life is not the same as he imagined before, but he is very proud of you, and wishes you from the bottom of his heart, believe me, he wants you to live your life in peace and quiet in that little place called Niax, so I'm sorry, if it is not really no way, we don't want to pull you into this matter." ”

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry, this incident was caused by me, and naturally I should end this. Rob Evangelism.

"You don't deserve such a responsibility, no one should have such a responsibility, and it is not a fair thing to put the fate of the entire human race on one shoulder, no matter how you look at it, but like I said before, we have no choice. "Arbus finished his glass of red wine," Don't blame President Leonardo da Vinci, he has been protecting you as much as possible, the new Terran Patron Saint launched by the Wizards Guild, that child named Painter, oh, I think you've already met, don't tell me the process, I guess the process won't be very pleasant, but if it's possible that you won't be able to meet him in the future, he is the bait we picked out to help you attract the attention of the church and the gods, but unfortunately only he doesn't know about it, the child's nature is not too bad, but Leonardo da Vinci may feel ashamed of him, he has been too indulgent all these years, in a sense it hurts him, but like I keep repeatingSome people will go astray at some point in their lives, but that doesn't mean they will be lost for the rest of their lives. ”

After speaking, Arbus closed his eyes and rested for a while, "We bet all our hopes on you in this war, but this is not your business alone, if you need help, tell D'Artagion, Olavien or whatever, always remember that there is still the Wizards' Guild behind you, and thousands of compatriots...... Finally, and most importantly, good luck with the things we can't do. ”
