Chapter 253: Background

How long is a minute? When Makoto Tatsuno was locked up by Roger, it seemed like an hour there, or even longer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info But in the face of this situation, it feels like a minute to blink twice.

In the expectation of everyone, Tatsuno Makoto finally finished reciting the incantation, followed by Tatsuno Makoto's eyes staring at the beetle outside with a wave of his hands, "Years!" Tatsuno Makoto gently spit out two words.

Looking at Makoto Tatsuno's confident expression, everyone was looking forward to the effect of the spell. Especially with the strength of Makoto Tatsuno, after using this spell, he actually saw sweat on the tip of his nose and turned pale, so you can imagine what kind of destructive power this spell will bring. Perhaps this unknown place may have disappeared as a result.

But to everyone's disappointment, until Tatsuno Makoto tiredly withdrew his hands, he didn't see any earth-destroying effect, and he didn't even make a sound. The disappointment in Xiaolong's red pupils was especially obvious, and after screaming helplessly at Tatsuno Makoto, he buried his head again.

"The spell failed?" This was the first thought that came to everyone's minds, but seeing Makoto Tatsuno sitting on the ground panting, the second thought immediately came to mind, "Accept your fate?"

In the face of such a situation, perhaps the confidence of ordinary people has long been destroyed, and resigning to fate has become a necessary option, and it is not easy for Makoto Tatsuno to hold on for such a long time. Just the thought of having to endure the gnawing of these beetles before dying, this fear that far exceeds death makes people want to fight even if they accept their fate.

"Don't be discouraged, I'll buy you a little time, and you can try again. With tears in her eyes, Ling Qi suddenly fell on Makoto Tatsuno's body. But this hug is not to express the love in his heart, but to block the falling beetle for Makoto Tatsuno.

"You're not afraid of death?" Makoto Tatsuno had imagined countless reactions from Ling Qi, from panic to composure, all of which Makoto Long Ye was prepared, but what he didn't expect was what Ling Qi was doing now.

In the face of imminent death, this giggling girl will choose to buy herself a little time to chant incantations with her life. Such courage and state of mind were completely beyond Tatsuno's expectations.

"I'm afraid! I'm scared to death, but I'm even more afraid to see you die in front of me. I'd rather die in front of you, and let you live the rest of your life sadly and painfully. Am I being selfish?"

Ling Qi barely squeezed out a smile with tears, and his body was tightly pressed against Tatsuno Makoto, leaving as little gap as possible, for fear that a beetle would fall on his body.

Tatsuno Makoto's heart seemed to have been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and an inexplicable feeling rose from his heart. At the moment, he just wants to be with Ling Qi forever without separation, Tatsuno Makoto feels that what he has been waiting for for thousands of years is this girl, and his only goal for the rest of his life is to make this girl's smile never disappear.

"That's over, I'm also very selfish, and I don't think I can stand the rest of my life in such pain. Makoto Tatsuno smiled and took Ling Qi in his arms. Hearing Makoto Tatsuno's voice, Ling Qi smiled and closed his eyes. Since this is the case, it's better to die together, with such a thought in her heart, Ling Qi feels less afraid, and being able to die with the person she loves makes Ling Qi feel a sense of relief.

The expiration of the spell of the owl had expired, and the sound of beetles reached Ling Qi's ears, and Ling Qi curled up in Tatsuno Makoto's arms, waiting for the pain of gnawing. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and when he secretly opened his eyes, Ling Qi saw Makoto Tatsuno's smiling face.

"It seems that the matter of dying together will be put on the next time. Tatsuno Makoto gently tapped Ling Qi's forehead and said, "Let's go quickly, although these insects are dead, it still makes people feel uncomfortable to see them." ā€

"The effect of this spell is different from before!" "The illusionist was in a good mood when the crisis was lifted, and he dissipated the energy condensed in his hand and complained, "There is a way, you didn't say it earlier, we were nervous for a long time, did you deliberately want to scare Ling Qi into your arms so that you could take advantage!"

"The power of this spell decreases with the number of targets attacked, and if it weren't for the fact that the life cycle of these bugs is extremely short, I wouldn't have used this kind of spell that consumes a lot at all. Tatsuno Makoto let go of Ling Qi in his arms and said with a tired expression.

The spell of time is to use a huge amount of energy to speed up the passage of time of the target of the attack, and make the target of the attack go through thousands or even tens of thousands of years in a short period of time. Nothing can stand the test of time, so no target can survive under this spell.

Because of its great power, the cost and limit of this spell is also very large, and the limit that is especially worth paying attention to is the number of targets to attack. If there is only one bug, it may directly turn into ashes under the attack of this spell, but if this number of bugs is targeted, the time for each individual to pass is at most three or two days. If it weren't for remembering the characteristics of this bug from Shelley's mouth, Makoto Tatsuno would definitely not use this spell.

No matter what the explanation is, they are out of danger after all, and the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe makes everyone sweep away the haze just now, and they don't even hold the red pupil responsible. Of course, this is thanks to the sensibility of the red pupil, although Makoto Tatsuno solved the crisis, but the red pupil did not forget that it was because of it that he brought everyone into danger, so at this moment, the red pupil obediently stayed on the shoulders of Belette as if hibernating.

"It's not an opportune time, but I think you and Shelley should have an explanation for what happened, and I don't want to die in the mouths of these test subjects for no apparent reason. As he spoke, he encouraged the beetle's corpse to seal all the beetle's corpses in the ice, so that even a few fish that slipped through the net would not cause harm to everyone.

"No problem, but before I do that, I'm going to have a conversation with Tatsuno Castle. Ling Qi: I'm going to borrow your Makoto for a while. Shelley smiled and said hello to Ling Qi, and then waved Long Ye Cheng over, Xiao Wu, who had always been by her side, walked to Ling Qi's side, and stretched out his hand to open an earthy yellow protective shield.

Seeing that Shelley was protected, Tatsuno Makoto said silently in his heart: "I know you have all heard it, I will confirm some things with Shelley first, and I will come back and tell you later." The Owl and the Illusionist looked at each other, nodded and walked to the front of the group. Makoto Tatsuno and Shelley fell at the end of the team and talked softly.

"How do you know I know the details of those bugs?" Shelley asked, wondering if he was in a panic at the time, not to ask an alchemist beetle about its provenance. This kind of thing is really specialized in the art industry, and alchemists are better at magic machines and magic dolls, and creatures are not in their scope of research at all.

"Before answering this question, I think we'd better call me what you want! It's okay to call me whatever you want, but should I call you Mom or Mother?" Tatsuno Makoto's mouth lifted up to reveal a sneer.

Looking at Long Yecheng's expression, Shelley's face instantly turned a little pale, and after the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, his voice trembled a little and said, "How much do you know, did Roger tell you?" Since the first time she saw Long Ye Cheng that day, Shelley knew that there would be such a day, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"All!" Tatsuno Makoto lowered his voice and glanced at the owl and the illusionist, "But it wasn't Roger who said it, I remembered it myself." ā€

"Then what are you going to do, kill us to vent your anger?" Shelley's expression became a little sad.

"From a human point of view, the act of killing mothers is a big rebellion, and I just want to learn to be a real human being. Tatsuno's gentle voice warmed Shelley's heart, and the sadness on his face eased a lot.

"But they don't seem to have regained their memories yet, and I think that's good, and I don't know if it's a good thing sometimes, so I've been depressed for a long time like me. Tatsuno Makoto nodded at Xiao and the illusionist and continued: "I think that's all you want to talk about, I'll go over if it's okay, the two guys over there are still waiting for me to explain." ā€

"Don't you want to know why we did this in the first place?" Although Tatsuno Makoto's reaction made Shelley very happy in her heart, and she sincerely hoped that Tatsuno Makoto could live like an ordinary person, but the premise of all this was that Tatsuno Makoto really thought so.

But I really didn't expect you, one of the ten sages of alchemy, to choose to live in seclusion in that town, and to give up the right to control the direction of the Federation, you are an alternative. Makoto Tatsuno smiled and walked quickly towards the owl and the illusionist, because in his mind, these two guys had already begun to urge Makoto Tatsuno to hurry over.

Rights?That's something that only humans pursue, am I still a human now?Shelley smiled bitterly and followed Makoto Tatsuno over. Seeing Makoto Tatsuno taking Ling Qi's hand and chatting with the others with a smile, Shelley thought silently in his heart.

In the elven fantasy realm that day, Tatsuno Makoto inadvertently accepted the inheritance of the elf king, in addition to the enhancement of fighting spirit and magic power, the greater gain is the recovery of memory. After coming out of the Tower of Trials, Makoto Tatsuno already knew everything he wanted to know.

After the Abyssal Sapient Race was attacked and fled in the late stages of the War of Dawn, the Human Alliance launched the Divine Punisher Project according to the original strategy. The content of this plan is to use magic alchemy technology to create the Chosen One that has been circulating in the abyss, that is, the perfect creature with all the racial advantages and superior intelligence.

This plan actually began to be implemented after the Abyssal Intelligent Race appeared in the Federation, and at that time, the human race had already found a way to obtain the blood of all the Abyssal Intelligent Races for research. It's just that this research took a bit of a long time, and it wasn't completed until after the abyssal species were strangled.

Shelley participated in such research as the founder of alchemy, and a total of ten people participated in the research at that time, and these ten people were known as the Ten Sages in later generations. The reason why the Ten Sages can last for thousands of years is also due to Shelley's living creature alchemy, which is her unique technology.

After the efforts of Shelley's ten people, only four people who succeeded in creating the divine punisher met the requirements, including Tatsuno Makoto, Xiao and the illusionist, among which Tatsuno Makoto was researched and developed by Shelley alone, so Tatsuno Makoto, who recovered his memory, understood why he had an inexplicable liking for Shelley. He will never forget that the first time he opened his eyes in that huge crystal vessel was Shelley's hopeful eyes.

But Tatsuno Makoto can't tell Xiao and the illusionist about these things, at least Tatsuno Makoto feels that some things are happy if he doesn't know, just like being infamous for the revival of the elf race, Tatsuno Makoto also wants to bear these alone this time, unless the Xiao and the illusionist recover their memory, Tatsuno Makoto is willing to bear it himself.

"I'm done talking to Shelley, now we can have a good chat. The voice of the owl sounded in Tatsuno Makoto's mind, and he could hear that the current owl was already very unhappy.

"I received the Elven King's inheritance in the Elven Clan, so I already know the truth about the Great War a thousand years ago, and by the way, I also know some other things. Makoto Tatsuno was very single, and he began to speak without waiting for him to ask, "It was the humans who betrayed the Abyss allies thousands of years ago, and the patriarch of the dwarf clan did not lie to us. It's just that the statement of the Chosen One is a misunderstanding, after all, legends are unreliable. And Shelley is one of the ten sages who are now the real rulers of the Federation, so it's right to ask her. ā€

"Ten Sages!" the voices of the owl and the illusionist sounded at the same time, and Makoto Tatsuno felt a dizziness in his head, the voices of these two guys were too loud.

"Then Shelley has lived from that time to the present, how did she do it!" The illusionist was very interested in girls, and in order to meet more girls, he was also interested in immortality.

"Then how can I know, I guess there is a way in alchemy!" Listening to the sticky laughter of the illusionist, Makoto Tatsuno directly drove him out of his mind, and even the voice with the owl disappeared from his mind.

Such a half-truth and half-truth statement is a fairly perfect explanation for the behavior just now, and as for whether the owl and the illusionist believe it or not, it is not something that Tatsuno Makoto has to worry about.

However, the plausibility of this explanation did not have time for the illusionist to think carefully, as they continued to move forward in the dark, a lot of bones began to appear on the ground, although it was impossible to tell what these dead creatures were, but at least the human form could still be seen, especially the sound of fighting mixed with roars in the distance, which made everyone's nerves tense again after a long time of relaxation.

"Everyone be ready to fight, I don't think there will be any of our allies here, and if you find danger, you must first ensure your own safety, so I suggest that you attack all threatening creatures indiscriminately. ā€

With Tatsuno Makoto's order, everyone is ready for battle, maybe all lives should be treated equally, but this equality is based on the premise that their lives are not threatened. Especially those who have just walked on the death line will never be foolish to think that they can communicate with the creatures here.
