ps: I knocked out a section of chatter in the middle of the night last night, and today I feel the enthusiasm of readers, thank you for your recommendation and support of the collection, thank you very much, your recognition, let me have great motivation! As I said before, as an author, I can only dedicate the most wonderful story in return, and ensure that it is more and more exciting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
'Pitch Black Rift' is the deepest secret hidden in Mu En's heart, related to his way to this world and whether he can go back, and this wizard in front of him obviously needs his talent to do something, and he naturally will not let go of the opportunity to understand this dark rift.
Becoming a slave is inevitably impossible, but in another way, from another point of view, cooperation is definitely a win-win result.
So, he changed his words and said, "I've heard that wizards believe in the first of the three vows of 'fairness', isn't it?"
"Huh, you even know this, who told you?" Aya frowned, she felt that things were in trouble, if it was an ordinary person, even if it was killed, it would be nothing, but if it was known about the three major oaths, it would be another story.
For example, when the king of a country is facing the poor and giving something at will, it can already make people grateful to Dade, and when facing the great nobles, they must give certain benefits, and both parties have the possibility of mutual benefit, so that the nobles can respect you as the king.
The three oaths of the wizard are actually a symbol of status, when you don't know, like a commoner ant, you know, just like a big nobleman, you have a certain right to speak. Of course, it only has a certain right to speak, and the imbalance of power will only result in losing both sides.
"It doesn't matter who told me, just tell me, is the 'fair' oath true or false?"
"Really!"
"Well, we can make a deal, and I'll use my ability to help you do what you want to do without threatening my own safety. However, you must also promise me a few conditions.
Rest assured, though, that these conditions won't be more than you can handle. ”
"Oh, conditions, for example?"
"For example, my teacher Coren's injury, we used the 'Carrise Cardiac Resuscitation Potion' to suppress the toxin, and it will recur within a year at most, so I need a way to relieve or detoxify it. In fact, during this time, Mu En was already discussing with Nuke, and after his heart and mind were opened, he went to the Black and White Courtyard to find a way to detoxify.
A year may seem like a long time, but it's actually very short, and according to Nuke, it takes a month just to get on the road. Moreover, although I am not sure, it is very likely that this toxin came from the hands of a wizard, that is, if you want to detoxify or delay, you still have to contact a wizard.
However, wizards are never easy to talk to, even if they do, why should others help you, although in the mortal world, Nuke is still rich, but these are not what wizards lack, and they don't have any valuables to impress wizards.
This is actually the most headache for the two of them, but it is obvious that the appearance of the wizard Aya made Mu En feel a turning point.
"Are you talking about the injuries of the old man with the ridiculous cigarette stick?" a little hesitation flashed across Aya's face:
"Yes!"
"I know about him. It's really rare that the antique profession of the Wind Tearing Swordsman is still inherited. To be honest, I've observed, strictly speaking, what he does is a mixture of poison and curse, not very powerful, as long as it can lift the curse, the poison is actually easy to say.
However, curses are very weird, and I can promise to find a wizard who is good at curses to help him and help as much as I can, but whether it can be solved is not guaranteed. ”
"Curse?!Please do your best!" Mu En happily agreed: "Then, my second request, I want to have an opportunity to learn, to learn more knowledge, preferably a large library, library and the like." ”
Aya was stunned for a moment, it was not a difficult request in this Mu En's opinion, she actually frowned: "Knowledge is priceless, even if I obtain specific knowledge from my teacher, I need to pay a lot of price, your request is too much." ”
"En?!You misunderstood!" Mu En's thoughts turned, and he continued: "I don't mean that I want the cultivation knowledge of wizards, I want more to know more, such as the evolution of history, geographical environment, human culture, and some books on the basic cognition of the wizarding world." ”
The Great Library of the House of Black and White has a rich collection of books, but Coren also said that the truly valuable materials still have to be found in the Wizarding Tower, and those are the books that are inaccessible to the real ordinary people, and cover the truth.
"In that case, I can do my best to accommodate this request. Anything else?"
"No!" The asymmetry of power and the lack of corresponding contract restriction means, Mu En knew very well in his heart that he could not ask for too much, his two requirements were already as simple as possible, and the other party could easily complete them.
No matter how much it is, it is the rhythm of having to inch in and looking for death.
"Well, according to the 'fair' exchange oath, our deal is done. After the sorceress finished speaking, she actually raised her fair and beautiful palms, and looked at Mu En as if waiting.
Seriously, the human beings of this world are still quite committed to it.
'High-fives for oaths', in this world represents the establishment of the oath, generally in addition to the aristocracy is accustomed to written records, many verbal agreements, like to high-five for the oath, Mu En didn't know that wizards also recognized this method.
However, he did not rush to high-five, but asked separately: "Before high-five, I still want to ask, what exactly do you need me to do? My conditions remain the same, but I want to assess the degree of danger first."
Above all, what the hell is that 'black rift'?"
"The Pitch Black Rift?This is the name you gave it?!Well, I'll tell you what the Pitch Black Rift is?" Aya was so angry that she looked patient: "What I want you to do is actually very dangerous for other people, and even for wizards, but for you, it is nothing to be able to 'see' the dark rift, and seriously, it is actually very easy. ”
Well, to know the dark rift, you must first understand a concept, space. What is Space?
Space is an abstract concept, its connotation is boundless and eternal, and its extension is a measure of the size and relative position of all objects. "Unbounded" means that any point in space is the starting point of any direction; "Forever" means that space is always present in the present moment.
To put it bluntly, space is a material objective form of existence relative to time, which is expressed by length, height, and size. The world we live in, this continent, this starry sky, can be included in the concept of space.
I say that, do you understand?"
"Well, I can probably understand!" As an earthling, perhaps, if you ask them to explain what space is, most of them will be speechless, but most people must have the concept of space in their minds, besides, Mu En is a person who travels through two spaces, and in terms of understanding space, he is deeper than she imagined.
"Uh, do you understand?"
"Of course, please continue!"
"Well, in theory, space is like a container, people, the earth, the stars, and what you see and don't see are all in space, and space can contain everything.
But in fact, the endurance of space is also limited, when the space is hit by a force beyond its bearing, it will shatter like a mirror, thus forming some small cracks, which are spatial cracks, which is what you call pitch black cracks. ”
"Of course, the power to break through space is not something you can or I can imagine. Moreover, the space has a strong ability to repair itself, just like the surface of the water, if your sword cuts through it, even if it leaves a trace, it will be smoothed by the current behind it.
However, there are always those very special rifts that will survive in some unique situation, and these ......"
What Mu En didn't expect was that this witch actually had some habits of being a 'good teacher', and her eloquent explanations about spatial cracks were comparable to those of teachers with senior titles.
Of course, in the explanation, he learned a lot of things, spatial cracks, that is, Muen's so-called pitch-black rifts, that is, the formation of space after the breaking, can be divided into many types, some appear and disappear, some exist for a long time, some can only be opened under certain conditions, some are just a simple rift, some can make you instantly go to a very far place, and some can even connect to other worlds.
The favorite of many powerful wizards is to summon otherworldly creatures through this spatial rift, which is a good object for both dissection and combat.
Generally speaking, no matter what kind of spatial rift, there are actually two characteristics, one is concealment, there is no special talent, or the strength reaches the level of being able to see through space.
Otherwise, the spatial rift cannot be seen by ordinary people.
Of course, not being able to see does not mean that it does not exist, an object, being cut through a spatial rift, the final result is to become two sections, yes, this is the second performance of the spatial rift, sharp to the point that nothing is cut.
Strictly speaking, he is not cutting the object, but spatially dividing the object into two parts.
Seriously, though, as a wizard, Aya has enough tricks and elemental manipulation. However, in terms of stage, she is only a first-order wizard, and that's it, she is actually much, much worse than a transcendent professional in terms of absolute strength.
However, she still slew 'Flowers Bloom' Field, thanks to the spatial rift given by her teacher, the archwizard Lady Iwiki.
Mu En was right to see it, the rift in her hand had been reduced by half, and it wouldn't take a few times before it would be bridged by space.
Of course, she naturally won't expose her shortcomings, but the news revealed between the words, Mu En summed it up, and that's actually what it meant. And her request for Mu En is to rely on his talent to find those spatial cracks that have not disappeared.
Then, she will collect it in a special way.
As for these spatial cracks, what they are used for, she naturally won't say, but just look at the one where the skull is stored, even if it's just a first-order wizard, but there are enough pitch-black rifts, then in higher-level professionals or wizards, they are also sideways existences.
Syllable!
The palm of her hand slapped in the air, Mu En only felt soft, and she seemed to feel something wrong, and a slight flush appeared on her face. Pretending to be calm, she raised her head, and said, "Our deal has been decided, and within half a month, the war here will come to an end, so let's set off to the Black and White Courtyard first." ”
"Good!"
With a slight movement of her footsteps, the sorceress's back fluttered like a dark cloud, and she turned away from the recovery potion pool, and Muen waited for her to leave before leaning against the wall as if she had drained her strength.
But then, in his ears, a small but clear word, also full of evil taste: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that in the Black and White Courtyard, in addition to wizards and wizard apprentices, there are only official wizards...... Slave!"
