Chapter 53: Nightmare
Alan and Jason stand on the inner city wall and oversee the surrender of enemy forces.
"Alan, I really didn't expect you to be a wizard!" Jason looked at Eren carefully, as if trying to tell the difference between a wizard and an ordinary person, but to no avail.
"There is no certainty in the world, everything is possible. Alan smiled slightly, ignoring Jason's inquiring gaze and looking into the distance, where the sky was white, and from where the sun would rise slowly.
"Alan, are you interested in making a big wave together?" Jason no longer stared at Allen, but also turned his head to look east.
"For example?"
"Empire!"
"It's a good idea, people always have a goal to know where to go. ”
"But I'm alone, I need your help. ”
"Look again, my ambition is not in the country and the city. ”
"Allen......" Jason was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the City Guard correspondent of the Four Cities Alliance.
"Major General, the nobles of Budapest City have proposed that you take up the position of city lord as soon as possible, and you need to personally arrange for the aftermath of the city's security management. ”
"Major General, the summit of the Union Army will take place in a day's time, and you are cordially invited to attend as the lord of Budapest. ”
"Well, I'll go. Jason was quite helpless, and Alan was still like that.
But he was relieved in the bottom of his heart, Alan didn't want fame and fortune, wasn't that exactly what he wanted to see? If Alan was strong enough to take a piece of the cake in Budapest City by virtue of his identity as a wizard, although Jason wouldn't care about anything, he would still have a problem in his heart after all.
Once friendship is mixed with interests, it is no longer pure.
Jason is gone, and as the new Lord of Budapest, he will definitely have something to do next.
And Alan couldn't be relaxed at this time, and the first time he fought with an official wizard, although he was unexpectedly defeated, he also exposed a lot of his shortcomings.
What's more, his identity as a wizard has been exposed, and he doesn't know if this is good or bad for the future, so he has to plan ahead.
Back in the small courtyard of the aristocratic quarter, Cruise was already waiting.
"Master, your fame has spread all over the city of Dapest, and people are glorifying your legend......" The well-informed Cruise saw Alan return, and used all his skills to slap his horse's beard. This doesn't allow him to be nervous, his master is actually a wizard, the kind of mysterious existence in legends.
"Okay, I'm sleepy, I'll talk about it when I wake up. Alan waved his hand, entered the master bedroom under Cruise's awe-struck gaze, and slammed the door shut.
Lying in bed, Alan did not fall asleep.
Holding the seized gold ring in his hand, his mind kept the chip scanning it.
"Ding! An unknown loop was discovered and stored in the database. ”
"Ding! Simulating soul fluctuations, cracking the ring defense, it is expected to complete the cracking ...... in 1 day, 13 hours and 58 minutes."
"Space ring, high-end rare shellfish, I hope the contents don't disappoint me. ”
By comparing the space ring with his own dimensional space, Alan looked for the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The space ring, according to the description in the "Space Theory", is to solidify the space particles in the ring with the help of ethereal crystals. In this way, the Spatial Ring can be used by other people who do not have a spatial talent. Of course, the storage space possessed by this spatial ring is fixed, and it cannot be expanded with the increase of the wizard's mental power like dimensional space.
Talking about the spatial talent, Alan couldn't help but think of Anthony's test after the moon worship ceremony.
Alan was originally a fire, wind, and shadow system, and he didn't have other talents such as space, but he could actually successfully build a dimensional space witchcraft matrix.
This is naturally thanks to the passive skill of Elemental Affinity. Alan is very glad that he has an elemental affinity, otherwise his wizarding path would have to be limited to his elemental talent like everyone else.
Then again, when it comes to security and secrecy, it's natural that the dimensional space has a solid edge. Wearing a space ring on your hand, it is very conspicuous, others can tell at a glance that you are a wizard, or a local tyrant among wizards, because space crystals are very rare, and correspondingly, the price of space rings is also very expensive.
After playing with the space ring for a while, Alan was really sleepy, put the ring next to the pillow for the chip to scan and crack at any time, closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
Confused, Alan always felt an inexplicable whisper in his ear.
He barely opened his heavy eyelids, but found himself lying in a dilapidated grass hut, and a pale and haggard young woman beside the bed looked at him with concern.
"Dana, my child, you are finally awake. ”
"Dyna, yes, I'm Dyna......" Naturally, Alan accepted the title as if he were Dyna, and his mother in front of him.
Diner was born in a middle-class aristocracy in the north, but he was born in a small house, his father died young, and his mother was weak, and the mother and son have not been valued by the family. In a dispute with the master's sister-in-law, after being severely repaired by the sister-in-law, Dana's already weak body suddenly fell ill and lay in bed, not recovering for a month.
Seeing that Dana was getting thinner and thinner, and his health was deteriorating, this could make Dana's mother die in a hurry, and she begged in many ways to ask the township doctor to take a look and save Dana's life.
In addition to his gratitude to his mother, the rescued Dana was more resentful of family injustice, and he had a distorted psychology of revenge against society at such a young age as eight years old.
Seeing that his situation was so unbearable, Alan instinctively wanted to do something, but soon these thoughts and emotions were assimilated by Dana and had to follow the plot of the story.
Alan completely forgot his real name, and experienced Dana's bleak childhood, thinking and acting exactly like Dana.
Dana is ten years old, and her mother's health is getting worse and worse. Finally, one day, my mother fell ill in bed, dying.
Dana held her mother's hand in trepidation, looking at her increasingly sickly countenance, but could not do anything.
During this time, Dina begged all the unknown people in the aristocratic mansion, but they were indifferent, and no one was willing to stand up for the mother and son, and they didn't even say a word of condolences.
The resentment in Dana's heart was even greater, and he vowed to return a hundredfold to the family when he grew up.
Sadly guarding her mother's bedside, the only thing she can do is to accompany her in the last moments of the world.
Her mother passed away with a kind smile, leaving Dana alone.
Dyna wants to get ahead, but his own knightly talent is not good, and he is far inferior to his sister-in-law who has better talents and more resources.
Despite this, Dyna's desire to become stronger has never stopped. Dina endured humiliation and burdens in the aristocratic mansion, and Taoguang became obscure.
At the age of fourteen, Dana was once again tricked by his sisters-in-law and forced into a makeshift cave while hunting.
The deep cavern was terrifyingly quiet, with Dana leading the way, followed by his sons-in-law.
Suddenly, there was the sound of bats flapping their wings, and the sons fled in fright, leaving Dana at the front.
Dana ignored the fleeing sons-in-law, his deepest longing evoked by a faint voice.
"Do you want to be stronger? Do you want to be above the crowd? Come on, here's what you want......"
Dyna is firmly attracted to desire, and the man continues deeper into the cave.
At the end of the cavern was an exotic magic circle that shone with a strange light, and a golden ring floated in the magic circle.
"Wear it, it belongs to you, and you will create a glorious era that belongs to you. ”
The bewitching voice sounded in Dana's heart again, and Dana, or rather, Dana, possessed by Alan, couldn't resist the temptation and was about to take out the ring, when another voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ding!The host's spiritual consciousness is successfully connected!Host, it is strongly recommended that you do not wear a ring, there is a 99.99% chance that unknown adverse consequences will occur after wearing a ring. ”
"Star?" shouted instinctively, and then memories flooded back.
"Why am I here? Shouldn't I sleep in the courtyard?"
"Damn, is it another illusion star, forcibly stopping all the actions of the body. A bad premonition flashed in Allen's heart, now he must have fallen into some kind of illusion, and his body must have subconsciously done something bad, otherwise the chip would not have reminded him like this.
Allen's worry was right, only to see that in the outside world, Allen's sleeping body was like a marionette guided by an inexplicable force, and he was picking up the gold ring next to the pillow and preparing to wear it on his finger.
And the gold ring had an eerily purple glow.
Eren had been cautious before, and had never worn that spatial ring. At this point, it seems that there is still a problem with the ring.
Fortunately, the chip received the instructions of Allen's consciousness in the illusion and forcibly took over the body, stopping this behavior that is very likely to bring adverse consequences.
The purple glow of the spatial ring began to dim.
In the illusion, Alan stared coldly at the ring floating in the magic array in front of him.
"Wear it and you will have unrivaled power. ”
"Wear it and you will achieve a brilliant achievement that no one can match"
......
The inexplicable voice was still bewildering, and Alan was unmoved.
"I'm curious what you are, what are your intentions?" said Allen, tentatively, and he didn't expect anyone to answer.
"Hey, little one, how can you not be seduced?" Suddenly, the voice stopped repeating the bewitchment mechanically, and became agile, as if someone had taken over temporarily.
"Tut-tut, the soul strength is pretty good. Young wizards, are you interested in making a deal? Of course, according to your wizard's principle of equivalent exchange. The voice became majestic and empty, with unquestionable confidence in it.
"Before making a deal with me, should you tell yourself about your family and background? Wizards don't make deals without guarantees. ”
"Haha, that's no problem, I'm Kalimos, the famous Nightmare Lord of the Fan Plane. Sorcerer, you should be glad to have met me, I can give you the power of dreams to go further in your quest for the truth. ”
"Yes, it's a great honor to meet you in such an environment. Alan said with a slight mockery.
"The process is not important, the result is important, are you ready to trade?" said Kalimos, slightly embarrassed.
"What do I need to give, and what do I get?" said Allen, his eyes looking around, but his mouth was procrastinating.
"It's simple, you just need to sign this contract, the contract is in the ring, wear it, and do something for me at the right time. And what you can get will be far beyond your imagination, all kinds of resources, all kinds of knowledge, after you have it, you can be promoted all the way to the fourth level wizard. Kalimos didn't seem to notice Allen's small movements, and his words were full of confidence and bewitchment.
"Yes? It's so exciting, I'll have to think about it. The corners of Allen's mouth curled slightly, and he had an eyebrow to get out of trouble.
"What are you waiting for, the great Lord Kalimos is there for you, and your wizarding path will be unimpeded......"
"So what kind of strength do you have?"
"Naturally, I am above the extraordinary, according to the level of your wizards, it is equivalent to the level of the fourth level. Kalimos was very complacent about his own strength, and he could imagine the adoration that Alan had heard.
However, the compliment that had been waiting for a long time did not appear, and only Alan was heard with disdainful words: "Isn't the fourth level great?
But Alan couldn't get used to Kalimos's unbeatable pride, and wanted to use the mysterious Anthony to suppress it.
In fact, Alan didn't know Anthony's strength level, it was just a gimmick.
The effect is naturally excellent.
"Seven...... Seventh-level wizard?!" Kalimos was really taken aback.
"Okay, little nightmare, I'm busy, sir, so I won't play with you. Taking advantage of Kalimos's voice to freeze, he was stunned, Alan smiled mysteriously, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a golden light shot out, hitting a space above the magic array, and then the entire illusion collapsed and disappeared without a trace.
