"You see, these 'sword-wielding kids' are my transformation, right? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this should be obvious to you. "Thankfully, what Calleren said was normal," they all have a distinctly dark aura on them, and I am the only living person in Southover who can do this by integrating the power of shadow into creation. You can be sure of that. ”

"'The living', is it?"

Thinking about the significance of the Black Shaman's emphasis on this point, Lance, whose expression and thinking slowed down slightly, simply waved the hem of his robe and sat down on the spot.

This action made Calerence stunned for a moment, and then he smiled again.

"Yes. Ahem, you don't have to worry about that, though.

"So what should I care about? Should I congratulate you on your better grip on the Shadows? Remember the last time you said that your grip on the Shadows was not stable. ”

Smiling in response, Lance was talking about something that was terrible for ordinary people.

――What does it mean to be able to control the shadows?

For a long time, the existence of the Shadow has been regarded as humanity's greatest "enemy".

"Well, thanks to you for leaving me, ha. Calelence's smile sent chills down Lance's heart, "Thanks to you, I concentrated on my research after that, and after analyzing a lot of 'Shadow Gifts', I finally controlled the success rate of manipulating the Shadow by 100%. Speaking of which, I really miss spending time with you...... Ahem!"

Then, an undisguised look of regret appeared on his face.

"You were the first person to consider me a friend and the first person to tell me so many interesting stories. You are the one who has shown me that there is so much more to the world than magic that is worth a lifetime of human pursuit. Thank you. Ah, I almost forgot, your food is also delicious, delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious. ”

"If I have the chance, I can tell you more stories and cook more dishes for you to taste. ”

Gently gave the other party with a twinkling gaze in response, and at this moment, Lance, who suddenly found that he didn't know anything about himself, overlapped the gentle man in front of him with the image of the "saboteur" who was full of purpose and mood in his mind, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Black Shaman" Calelence, this man has more than just himself.

In other words, the so-called "multiple personalities", right?

"But now, can you please tell me all about this? I'm honestly a little confused......

This is the second time Lance has shown weakness in front of Calelence, if everything that happened before is true. The fact that the "Black Shaman" has multiple personalities is only his speculation, and it is probably the same as the three illusionary forms of "youth", "old age", and "child" that he subconsciously created, and there are also "three people" in his body with completely different personality experiences.

It's definitely not acting.

- Honestly, I really don't know what to say to you right now.

"That's right...... I'm sorry......" As if sensing Lance's intentions, Calelence suddenly raised his drooping head high and cast a determined look at the man in front of him, "I'll tell you what I know, and the rest ...... Forget it, I'm going to talk about it, huh?"

After receiving a nod from Lance in response, the black shaman, who couldn't help but continue to caress Shi Lijie's hair, hesitated for a moment, and finally began to speak.

"First I need to ask you a question. What kind of existence do you think the Shadow is?"

I didn't expect Callelens to suddenly ask a question before speaking, but when Lance crossed his arms and thought about it, the other party didn't wait for his answer, and continued to take care of himself:

"According to the 'Temple', the Shadow is a 'forbidden' being, the 'opposite' of this world, and its existence is to 'devour' the things of this world, right? ”

"But is that really the case? Is what the 'Temple' is propagating correct? ”

Do not be superstitious about authority. His philosophy was correct, and this is one of the creeds of the members of the Society.

To be honest, in Southwell, who believed in the true God, there were very few people who could not believe in the will of the "temple".

"According to my research, cough, I won't tell you the specific process, anyway, you may be confused. ”

Coughing softly, Calelense didn't seem to be in good physical condition, and according to Lance's experience, the man who would mix coughing and chattering in his speech from time to time was the "master personality".

"The material for the research is all sorts of 'shadow gifts', and as I told you, this research was done because I was interested in it, not just because of Luper's assignment...... It's a bit strange that just because of the phased results of this research, the 'cooperative relationship' between me and him was unilaterally terminated, which is really excessive. ”

"That's off topic. In short, through my research on the Shadow Bounty, I have not only found a way to control the Shadow, but I also have some insight into its true identity. Not...... You don't seem to be happy that I didn't answer your question directly?"

Lance shook his head again.

"It's okay, there's no need to start here, but I want to say it anyway, because it's important for your judgment in the future. ”

Calerence's eyes suddenly swept a trace of strangeness, and it was this strangeness that caused an ominous premonition in Lance's heart, and the touch of being cut off by the opponent's sword in the hallucination seemed to be real again.

"Shadows are real. ”

“......”

The six words that the black shaman spit out were earth-shattering, making Lance a little speechless for a while, and he didn't even know what kind of expression to put on.

And this is expected by the other party.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to understand that sentence alone. But what to do, I don't seem to be very good at convincing people, hmm...... Let's put it this way, you know that what I've studied is not just the 'Shadow Gift', I've also studied a lot of the 'Holy Sword', and I have to thank Luper for him, after all, it's still too difficult to get that kind of thing on my own, cough, cough!"

The coughing suddenly intensified.
