Volume I, Chapter 3: The Real Future
"From now on, I will get everything I want, including power and women!
Mick grinned as she approached Andrea and tore open her tattered clothes. Andrea's plump upper body was immediately exposed to the air.
"Don't resist, do you feel my strength, have you been appointed?"
Andrea sat calmly on the ground, letting him take what he wanted from her, and said lightly: "I just think it's sad, I didn't expect that you just got the strength and have to face death." ”
"What?" Mick was stunned, the blood-red in his eyes slowly subsided, and the movements of his hands stopped.
Andrea covered the scenery on her chest and said regretfully: "You did gain power, but it was not your power, so when you squandered it, you will pay the corresponding price." ”
"At what cost?" Mick asked gloomily.
He had just tasted the taste of power, and he never wanted to go back to the way he was.
"When the Divine Eye merges with your two personalities, it will continue to transform power for you, but that power doesn't come out of nowhere, it needs to consume your life. With the strength of your body, squandering like you just did, I'm afraid it won't be an hour before you have to go to your Father. ”
"That is, the force I use must be within the limits of my body?"
Andrea nodded: "With your current situation, if you use more power than the level of a first-level magician, it will exceed your body's tolerance limit. ”
"Rank 1 magician? It's okay, it's better than nothing. ”
"Don't be too happy," Andrea said lightly, "I don't know what that lightning bolt gave you, and made you awaken a very peculiar new personality." Not only is he able to fuse the Divine Eye, but he's also very aggressive, and you should have noticed that you're no longer the same Mick you used to be. ”
Mick grimaced and whispered, "I'm a little conflicted now, but it doesn't matter, no matter what I become, I'm still me, it's no different, and in terms of my identity, my original personality is a little too stupid." ”
Andrea shook her head and said, "That's not what I'm going to say, because your new personality is very special, and there were some strange changes when the Divine Eye merged with you, so the power in your body has no attributes at all, and there is almost no other power except for being able to decompose matter into energy sources." ”
"What?" Mick was shocked, "Damn, what's the difference between that and no power?"
"Don't worry too much, power is just a formality, and you can always find ways to use it, such as converting it into magic. ”
"Magic?" Mick smiled wryly.
"I used to be an apprentice magician, but ten years ago, my magical bloodline collapsed. Everyone said that I would never be able to make a difference in the field of magic in my life, so I would like to think of something else. ”
Andrea had read Mick's memories and knew that he had an accident ten years ago, not only did his parents die, his blood collapsed, but he was also abandoned by his family, and had to run to remote Norristown, inheriting a viscount title with little gold content, and relying on the meager savings left by his parents to survive.
"Your background is indeed a bit miserable...... Andrea said lightly, "However, now that you have the power, the door of magic may be open for you again." ”
"Really?" Mick became agitated, as if the drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw, and the blood in his whole body was boiling.
Andrea nodded and pulled out a magic scroll: "This is the lowest grade inferior magic scroll, now you can see what is special about it." ”
Mick unfolded the scroll and looked closely, and after merging with the Divine Eye, he could see through all the origins.
In his eyes, this scroll was indeed very different. It is no longer a piece of paper full of runes and strange symbols, but a complex world with countless passages.
"Look closely. With that, Andrea tore open the magic scroll, and a fist-sized fireball flew out of the scroll, knocking a small hole in the cedar on the side.
"Do you see?"
Mick nodded thoughtfully.
He found that the moment he tore open the magic scroll, the magic scroll automatically activated the stored magic power, and the magic power divided and merged along the preset channel, and each time it split and merged, a magic reaction would occur, and after several magic reactions, the magic power finally turned into a fireball.
"Are those passages changing the nature of the magic and materializing pure energy?" Mick asked, uncertain.
Andrea nodded, "Those passages you mentioned are called magic marks, which are naturally formed by magicians when they seal magic. In fact, the magic mark is also a kind of magic array, and the principle is just like what you just said. ”
"In other words, as long as I master the passage, or the special distribution law of the magic array, I can transform the energy in my body into real magic?" Mick was pleasantly surprised.
Andrea nodded again.
"Oh my God, I can become a magician?" Mick cheered excitedly.
It has always been his long-cherished wish to become a magician, especially since the collapse of his bloodline, he has been reduced from a genius to a waste, and his desire for magic has increased day by day, and now he suddenly sees the hope of becoming a magician, how can he not be ecstatic.
"Andrea!"
"Huh?"
"What's next for you?"
Andrea looked a little confused and shook her head, "I don't know, I've been wandering since I lost my memory, trying to find my past. Three months ago, I felt a call from my soul, and then I searched for the source of the call on the Federland snowfields until last night. ”
"That lightning bolt is the source that calls you?" Mick frowned.
Andrea nodded.
"No wonder you said I took your stuff......"
Mick's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of a good excuse to lure Andrea: "Since you have nowhere to go for the time being, it is better to just follow me, it just so happens that I have a small territory, although not very rich, but enough to feed us."
Moreover, as long as we run well, maybe we can have great development in the future, and it is very possible to be promoted to an earl, a marquis, or something. ”
Mick tried his best to keep Andrea, and only he knew if he wanted to learn magic or taste her often.
Andrea thought seriously for a while, but still shook her head: "No, the entire Church of Light is looking for me, and I will bring disaster to you if I follow you." ”
Mick waved his hand: "What does it matter? Norristown is a place where birds don't, and even thieves are not interested in visiting, how can the pampered priests have time to come?"
At the mention of Norristown, Mick's heart suddenly palpitated, as if someone had picked up a sledgehammer and struck him, and he almost couldn't breathe. He sat down clutching his chest, his breathing becoming heavy.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Andrea.
Mick shook his head: "I don't know, suddenly a little uncomfortable." ”
"You're still in the transition stage of personality integration, and it's normal to have some confusion, and you'll get better when you're fully used to it. ”
Mick nodded, but the thought of Norristown made him very uneasy.
Just as he wanted to ask about Andrea's personality fusion again, a thin line suddenly cracked on his forehead, and the disappeared eye opened again, and the light in his eyes suddenly erupted.
Through that strange eye, Mick's gaze crossed all the barriers in front of him and reached beyond time and space. He saw Norristown in a sea of fire, countless figures struggling and screaming in the flames, and the gurgling blood slowly pooled down the steps of the manor until it flowed like a river.
"Ahh
However, this short moment has already made Mick's heart break and cold sweat flow.
"Norristown, it's Norristown, I saw Norristown! What's going on?" Mick shouted incoherently.
Andrea on the side had a gloomy face, shook her head and said, "If my guess is correct, you have stimulated the Divine Vision and seen some kind of future." ”
Mick was shocked: "You mean Norristown will be destroyed?"
Andrea didn't speak, acquiescing to Mick's guess.
"No way! I'm going to see it again!"
"Are you crazy?" Andrea took Mick's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you're doing? ”
"What then? Norristown is my territory, and I can't watch it die!"
Andrea sighed: "If the future is already doomed, then everything you have done is in vain, and the best thing to do is to leave as soon as possible." ”
Mick was indignant: "No way, nothing is predestined." I have to work hard once so that I don't have regrets. ”
"It seems that your new personality is not useless, at least it gives you a minimum sense of responsibility, but at such times, it is not necessarily a good thing to have a sense of responsibility. Andrea sighed.
"Andrea, you don't understand, I have nothing but Norristown! you'll help me, won't you?" Mick pleaded, taking Andrea's hand.
Andrea frowned, looking at Mick's anticipation, she was suddenly a little reluctant to refuse, and nodded gently.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from afar: "Master...... Mick ...... Where are you?"
"It's the squires who are coming for me!" Mick was pleasantly surprised.
The new squire was taken aback to see Mick, and didn't seem to expect Mick to be alive. His face changed rapidly, and finally showed a thick flattery.
"Master, I finally found you, I woke up in the morning and found that you were gone, everyone was worried to death, what can I do without you in Norristown?"
Mick had never felt Norristown so cordial with this group of lowly squires, and the moment he saw the squire, he suddenly had the idea of hugging him fiercely, but because of the majesty of the lord, he did not act on it.
When he saw Andrea, the attendant looked very surprised, but not much surprised, obviously he knew his master's lustful temper well.
The squire led Mick and Andrea into a rudimentary carriage and drove slowly toward Norristown.
In the carriage, Andrea suddenly handed Mick a blank inferior magic scroll, and said lightly: "Use this time to prepare for various challenges." ”
Mick was stunned: "Now?"
Andrea nodded: "I'm afraid you don't have much time, that guy outside is a spy!"
"Spy?" Mick was startled: "How do you know, do you know how to read minds?"
Andrea smiled slightly and shook her head: "I don't know how to read minds, but it doesn't take magic to understand people's hearts." ”
