Chapter 35: A Boring World, Interesting People (Part II)

Heine's story didn't last long, for Constantine soon lost interest, yawned, and handed the book back, as Heine would have had to gnash his teeth again.

However, he had just come out of confinement today, and had unexpectedly discovered such a precious collection, and he was in a good mood, but he didn't mind much, and he dragged his socks and threw himself on the bed to read hungrily.

Constantine began to finish the day's work.

But soon, his thoughts were interrupted by Heine's strange cry.

"It's incredible, and the book also mentions the City of Dawn. Heine waved his book and said as if he had discovered a new world, "I knew that all the history of magic was a lie, and the old witch didn't teach us these things. ”

"Dawn City, does it have anything to do with the World Tree Council?" Constantine looked at his roommate.

"You idiot who doesn't even know about epic heroes know about the City of Dawn and the World Tree Council?" Heine's eyes widened.

"I think it was founded by a mage named Faust. Constantine recalled the secrets that Diana had told him in the carriage. "But I've heard that very few people know this name. ”

Heine nodded and said: "Faust's life and deeds are not recorded in the orthodox history of magic in the mainland, only circulated in a small area, most people don't know that there was such a powerful and unimaginable mage as Faust in history, I also heard this name by chance from my grandfather, my grandfather's old immortal is now a senior magic historian in the Magic Guild, this crazy old man was still Dean Joy's classmate back then, hehe, you don't know." ”

"I think madness seems to be in your family. Ora said lightly.

"Haha, admit it, you madman should worry about yourself!" Heine shot back mercilessly, and said mockingly: "Stuffed in the library all day, I guess when you graduate, you will still be a nerd, which girl will take a fancy to you......?"

Constantine, accustomed to the fact that the two roommates could quarrel at any time, did not bother to pay attention to it, and picked up the magic book that Laplace had given him at the bedside, which he had not opened for a long time.

He picked up the book and felt that it didn't feel right, the book seemed to be a little heavier than before, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

He spread the book out and heard a "pop" as something fell out of the pages and landed on the floor with a crisp sound.

It was a blue crystal pendant.

"The world is getting boring and boring. ”

At the top of the magic tower, Joey stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the slowly sinking sunset in the distance and said, twilight spread across the entire academy in the field of vision, and the fiery maple forest was plated with a layer of bright golden red, which was even more vivid and bright. The mirror-like surface of the lake dissolves the beautiful twilight like a moving piece of amber.

A few birds swept by in the glow, and the melodious cry accompanied by the evening breeze swept through people's hearts, this scene is beautiful enough to make the viewer's heart relaxed.

But the old magister's face showed no joy.

"One of my favorite things to do when I was in the City of Dawn was to climb to the very top of the city with your teacher Innocent and a few other daring young men, risking being thrown into the Atlas by the old fellows in the council afterwards, blowing the wind and watching the sunset, and dreaming of the dreams that anyone of that age would have. ”

Beside Joey stood Diana, the girl's skirt swaying gently in the evening breeze, revealing her fair and slender calves under the skirt from time to time, and her beautiful face added a bit of classical beauty in the twilight.

"My teacher told me that it was the most nostalgic time of his life. Diana whispered, and with a gentle hand, a bird swept over the tower landed on her fingertips, flapping its wings merrily.

To secular magicians, Daybreak is a sacred place that only exists in legends, but for a big man like Joey, it's not a mysterious place.

"Innocent is a great man, now and in the past, his magical talent has always been recognized as one of the top three even among our group, second only to the woman in white and the speaker of the current World Tree Council, compared to Agnes, the old woman who always has a cold face, we always thought that if he chose to continue on the path of magic, his future achievements would likely catch up with that old rascal of Ingres. Joey said leisurely.

The magicians in the Magic Guild must have been dumbfounded when they heard the last sentence, His Excellency St. Ingres, the first president of the Magic Guild, the greatest magician of the Holy Empire for thousands of years, and the founder of countless theoretical temples in the wizarding world, was actually called an old rascal so contemptuously in this mouth.

And the person who said this was actually the Grand Magus Joey of the Holy Empire.

But Diana only smiled indifferently, she knew the anecdotes of the dean beside her, and she could not expect much respect for Ingres himself to a man who dared to spit on the sculpture of St. Ingres when he was young.

And the names that Joey just mentioned, except for the female senior in white who even Diana had never heard of. Who is not the Mighty Person, the Speaker of the World Tree Council, the Dragon Lance Magister Agnes the "Ice Empress", her teacher, His Majesty Pope Innocent, and Joey himself, and the young geniuses who entered the City of Dawn with them?

These names are legendary in their own right, and they are undoubtedly first-class characters throughout the ages.

These strong men standing in the clouds, their eyes will only fall on the starry sky, how can they care about the eyes of the world's eager gaze?

She could hear the loneliness in the old man's tone, most of the partners who practiced together in the magical holy land were now no longer alive, and those who survived were all gradually aging like him, and were barely supported by the wind and rain of the years.

Now, a hundred years later, the mainland is singing and dancing, but the kind of grand occasion of geniuses and stars is difficult to find.

The golden era in Joey's memory, just like the sunset and autumn forest in front of him, although beautiful and moving, eventually faded away.

"Tell me, what are you here for, as a god, your future direction should be to become a magician, why did you enter the academy?" asked Joey with a handful of hands.

"I didn't come to you to learn magic. Diana shook her head, "And not just to avoid getting caught up in the feud within the church. ”

"I'm here to learn from you, how to fight. Diana's eyes were steadfast.

Hearing this, there was a moment of silence at the top of the magic tower.

The little bird, which had been resting on Diana's arm, seemed to feel the solemn smell revealed in this sentence, so it fluttered its wings and flew into the distance.

"It's for this reason, it seems that what happened in Springwater Town has touched you a lot!" said Joey in a somewhat complicated tone.

"Yes, as a god-honored person, I was born with the power of radiance, which is a rare gift, but it is also a shackle. Diana said seriously, "It does allow me to easily defeat many opponents, but in the past, I relied too much on this kind of power, and once I faced a real strong person, I didn't know what to do at all, so I could only rely on instinct to fight." ”

The battle in Springs is now widely known among the people of the Empire, and in the eyes of many, the main reason for this victory was because of Diana's great divine power and extraordinary courage at the critical moment.

But only she knows how powerless she is in the face of the legendary demon king, as one of the seven lords of the Endless Demon Abyss, Samael is only a doppelganger, but the power is beyond her imagination, even if she uses the power of brilliance to incarnate an angel, she is still difficult to resist Samael's endless attacks.

If it weren't for Constantine's last-minute defeat of Elvis and destruction of the Demon King's source of power, she would have died in that fierce battle.

"So, I want to know how to fight and how to win in the face of a strong enemy, which only you can leave to me. ”

Among the top ten magisters, Joey's magic power is not the highest.

However, in the eyes of many magicians in the Holy Empire and the mainland, Joey's actual combat ability and experience are unmatched among the archmages.

There is a well-known record within the Wizarding Guild, which clearly records the more than 120 magical duels that Archmage Joey has experienced in his life, and in these duels, Joey Cizeriel has finally won.

Among the opponents he had defeated were even several other archmages on the continent.

"So, in order to become a saint of the future, to fight against those powerful enemies in the shadows, and to fulfill the teacher's expectations of me, I need your guidance. ”

"Maybe you don't know how we survived the first few years of Dawnbreaker. Joey said slowly, "If you want to become a real strongman, you must completely let go of the weakness and innocence in your heart, and if you want to fight this ruthless and boring world, you must become ruthless enough, do you have the consciousness to become this kind of person?"

Diana said firmly, "In order to protect the things I want to protect, I will. ”

"No, you don't understand right now. Joey shook his head, "If one day in the future, you want to achieve a certain goal, but only if you want to kill your teacher or your father, do you have the determination to do it?"

Diana's face was a little pale, but her answer was still calm, and she said, "I don't think there will be that day." ”

Joey said indifferently: "A real strong man not only has enough strength, but also a strong heart, too much emotion, in the battle will only become your weakness, in that church, before Samael came, you obviously had the opportunity to kill Elvis, but you did not use all your strength at the beginning, do you still have the illusion of letting him repent afterwards? Have you ever thought that once you fail, the whole town will be buried for your willfulness." ”

Diana's face turned even paler.

"Although there is still a trace of innocence in your heart, I am still willing to teach you. Joy said.

Diana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although I still can't survive and fight like a real powerhouse now, I won't let you down in the future." ”

"That's one reason I'm willing to teach you. ”

Joey looked at the academy under the sunset, a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said: "After staying in this increasingly boring world for a long time, it is inevitable that I want to get along with some interesting people for a while, by the way, listen to Innocent's old god stick, your chess skills are good......"

It's a vast world, so big that it's unimaginable, and there's no way to see it.

Constantine walked through this vast world in a trance, like a wandering spirit, only feeling that everything in front of him seemed familiar.

The world is on the verge of destruction.

Boundless flames swept across the land, and everywhere they went, everything melted into a scorching dark red, and the sky was stained with a blood-colored curtain by tens of millions of flame spirits as the backdrop for this great destruction.

The stars began to fall, like a midsummer rainstorm, mercilessly blasting into the unrecognizable earth that was burned in the flames, the ocean was roaring, and there were countless waves surging and rotating on the black ocean surface, forming a bottomless whirlpool, swallowing up the life in the sea one by one, and then surging towards the mainland.

In other corners of the world, in the embers, an unprecedented blizzard has descended without warning, bringing with it the bitter cold of extinction, and the former splendor of prosperity has been frozen into the ancient legends of the frozen kingdom until it disappears into dust.

Where is this, and why am I here?, Constantine thought in a daze.

He watched this grand destruction, the terrifying scene in front of him was far beyond his comprehension and bearing, he felt a chill creeping up his chest and back little by little, the breath he exhaled condensed into a cold mist, his body trembled uncontrollably, his inexplicable palpitations almost tore his calm, and an emotion called fear appeared in his heart.

It was the same feeling he had when he had fled Winterfell.

What frightened him even more was that the scene that clearly did not belong to his memory felt so familiar to him. But he couldn't remember when he had seen such a grand and beautiful picture of the destruction of the world.

In fear, he looked up and saw that it was already dark.

Death-like silence descended.

The boundless night is like a river flowing in the underworld that envelops the world of despair.

In the night, the light of the stars flickered faintly, although it was extremely dim, but the light never disappeared, and he persisted in refusing to be swallowed up by the night.
