Chapter 20: The Final Farewell I
Constantine stared at Laplace.
When he first met the old man at the seminary, he just treated him as an ordinary mage.
But now that he has inherited the soul of "Odin" and the fragment of the World Tree "Kungunir", the image of Laplace in his eyes has changed a lot.
At this moment, under his gaze, countless invisible lines and tracks extended from the silver-robed old man in front of him, stretching out in different directions, connecting countless bright or dark stars, some of which were thin, some thick, and different in light.
On the stars connected by the brightest of these lines, Constantine smelled a few familiar scents of his mother, His Majesty the Pope, Younas, and Joey beside him......
Noticing the change in Constantine's expression, Laplace laughed, "Little one, you can already see them, right?"
The boy was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about?"
"The Destiny Lord and the trajectories between them. ”
Laplace said leisurely, "Only a very small number of highly qualified beings can get a glimpse of the fate of the rest of the living beings, and their operation, and some extremely talented beings can even use the fate of a certain living being as a node to speculate and calculate the fate of the creatures related to it, which is the legendary astrologer, such as you and me." ”
"Your mother was a great astrologer, and so was Lord Faustus. "Not only can they see the fate of others, but they can also change them with incredible magical powers, which is the legendary Great Prophecy." ”
These words are very difficult to understand, but now Constantine understands, "You mean that as long as astrology reaches a certain level, you can change your fate?"
"It may be possible to change the fate of a collective, a nation, not only for individuals. ”
Laplace blinked, "If you want to have the power to change the fate of all of Azeroa in the future, come to the City of Daybreak!"
Everything went round and round and came back to the original topic.
Constantine was much more delicate than Siegfried, and he didn't get excited after listening to Laplace's very seductive words, but wanted to continue to ask for more information, "Is there any other requirement to be elected to the World Tree Council for trials than to make a magical oath?"
"Nope. Laplace replied very simply.
"How long is the parliamentary trial, and is there any restriction on the personal liberty of the trialists?" added Constantine, "I don't want to stay there for decades and not be able to get out. I hope you'll be honest, old man. ”
"It's sometimes really hard to deal with thoughtful people because you have to give too much information. The old astrologer said with emotion, he had seen that mere temptation did not work for Constantine, and that everything had to be revealed.
Laplace replied, "But if that's what you're worried about, my answer is still no." ”
"As long as you don't divulge any information related to the Council, and obey the Council's precepts during the trial, you can go anywhere, not only the two continents of this world, but even any plane in the vast universe, as long as you have the ability, you can explore. ”
"As for the trial time, it is never fixed, it is usually up to the trialist to decide for himself, it may be five years, or ten years, or even as many as a hundred years, when the time comes, you can choose to end the trial and leave, or you can apply to stay in the World Tree Council, everything is up to you. ”
Laplace continued: "For example, Innocent practiced in the City of Dawn for nearly seven years before leaving, but at that time he had already become the strongest person in the Church of Light, in fact, not only him, but several popes in the history of the church have had the experience of studying in the City of Dawn, so the reward for entering the City of Dawn is definitely worth it. ”
Constantine finally asked a question: "Your Excellency, can you use your abilities to predict how far I will be able to go in the future if I enter the City of Dawn to practice?"
Laplace said calmly, "You have great qualifications, and if you are willing to enter the City of Daybreak, the worst achievement in the future is nothing more than the level that Cizerel is now." ”
Joey on the side interjected in annoyance: "Hey, Laplace, don't deceive people too much, I have no opinion on you wanting to pull the little guy into that ghost place to practice, but can you not use me as an example, I am also the president of the Royal Academy now, the magister of the Holy Empire, in your eyes, I am not even as good as this half-elf?"
Salin glanced at Joey with a smile, "I am now the high priest of the witch clan, and my position in the royal court is only that of His Majesty the Holy Spirit King, and in front of me, you really don't have the capital to speak, Cizeriel." ”
"And on top of that, I have an advantage that you can't match anyway. ”
Joey snorted and said, "Saleen Bernoulli, don't think that you are superior to others now that you are wearing a wizard's robe, if you really want to start a fight, you and Agnes's cold-faced old woman all year round may not be my opponent, but you can tell me, what are you better than me?"
Salin picked his hair in a dashing manner and smiled: "I look more handsome than you." ”
Joey: "........."
After a short thought, Constantine finally gave his answer: 'Well, then, I promise you. ”
"You made the right decision. Seeing that Constantine had agreed to enter the City of Daybreak, Laplace breathed a sigh of relief. "Your mother will be proud of you, too. ”
Constantine did not speak, but gently rubbed the fate watch in his hand, his eyes determined.
Faust was his ancestor, the magician who founded the Council of the World Tree, and it was necessary for him to visit the legendary magical shrine.
Moreover, he does need more strength now to meet the challenges that lie ahead.
In the whole world, the only place that can make him go further in strength is the City of Dawn.
Salin, who is now the most senior member of the royal court, looked at Constantine with a smile: "It seems that we have one more companion, congratulations, Constantine, the city of dawn will not let you down." ”
Joey just sighed.
Siegfried smiled and patted Constantine on the shoulder, "It's good, so that the two of us can practice together again in the future." ”
Roland wasn't too excited, but he was full of curiosity, the City of Dawn is a world-famous magical holy land, and there have been countless characters in history who changed the pattern of the continent.
Now that he had the opportunity to see that place, Roland certainly didn't want to miss it.
Euler stood calmly aside, not speaking, but looking at Constantine with a deep gaze that was incomprehensible.
It seems that he had been looking at Constantine with such a gaze for a long time, but Constantine did not notice it.
Constantine said, "Your Excellency Laplace, can you please give me some time, I have some small things to take care of. ”
Laplace glanced in the direction of the south, as if he knew what Constantine wanted to do, and nodded with a smile: "Go, little one, it's also good to finish what needs to be said and leave without worry." ”
Constantine turned his head to Joey and bowed solemnly: "Thank you Master for taking care of him during those days at the Academy." ”
Joey looked at Constantine with pity, as if looking at the woman in white by the lake, and raised his hand, as if to touch Constantine's head.
But in the end, he hesitated, put down his hand, and sighed: "Take care, little one, when you get to that place, ask for more blessings." ”
Joey waved his hand, and the space in front of him rippled, and then, the black box that was familiar to both Constantine and Siegfried appeared in Joey's hand.
Joey handed the black box to Constantine and said lightly: "This is the last thing your mother left in this world, don't lose it." ”
Constantine took the black box, noticing that the old box was spotless.
It seems that during those days in the Magic Tower, Joey had been very careful to keep the black box, and this fact made Constantine's heart faintly moved.
Now gazing at the black box, Constantine felt a throbbing in the depths of his soul, and instinctively had a strong urge to open the box and take out the contents of the box.
Constantine now knew what was hidden inside.
The black box contains a fragment of the second World Tree.
Constantine now knew, but he still remembered his mother's instructions, and with his experience at the altar, he was acutely aware that now was not the time to open the black box.
"If there is anything else you want to do before you leave this continent, my old man will do his best to help you do it. Joey waved his sleeve in a loud voice.
"I'm going to see someone. Constantine silently put the box away and said.
