538 The Meaning of Beauty

Sylvia stood on the lawn in the back garden with her bare hands, her sun-dazzling blonde hair tied in a simple ponytail, the two-headed dragon lizard woman's leather armor hugging her delicate body, outlining perfectly proportioned curves, and her azure eyes showed a dark red halo that seemed to be surging hot magma.

She raised her delicate chin and said to Victor, who was 6 meters away, "Honey, are you ready?"

Victor was wearing a crimson six-legged alligator leather armor, also without a helmet, with no long objects in his hands, and his dark gold eyes were implicitly excited. It is not uncommon for him to compete with Sylvia, but it is the first time that Sylvia's eyes are dark red, which shows that his current strength even the god knight must be treated with caution.

Victor's confidence was lifted, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "Come on!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sylvia stepped forward and pointed into a knife, her slender white hand stabbing Victor in the chest. At the same time, he felt a squeezing force spreading from the inside to the outside of his body, as if there were countless invisible threads pulling his thoughts, feelings, blood, internal organs, bones, muscles, skin and hair, and giving birth to a slight paralysis.

This is not a psychic illusion, but a real spiritual power.

The spiritual power of the Spirit Knight!

Sylvia once killed the Marquis of Bastern, who defied the majesty of the god knights. Her psychic power can directly crush the souls of mortals, and even the Golden Knight will be affected by it in pain like pins and needles. The Golden Knight calls this power a spiritual thorn.

The strength of Victor's soul fire far exceeded the limits of mortals, reaching the level of the legendary level. Sylvia's spirit thorn only made him feel physically and mentally uncomfortable, but because he was not disturbed by pain, he could clearly perceive the desperate and irresistible danger hidden behind the spirit thorn.

- Sylvia could not hide any subtle physical changes, and no matter what kind of dodging moves she made, she would surely be stabbed in the chest...... Maybe you can struggle for ten seconds, maybe twenty-five seconds, and the result won't change!

Although she knew before the competition that Sylvia would not really hurt herself, at this moment, X-3 naturally entered the state of apocalypse, Victor's eyes lit up with a golden light wheel, the soul fire burned violently, and the spiritual strength instantly climbed to the peak, everything around seemed to be frozen in a piece of amber, and all the details were presented in his mind without omission.

He "saw" Sylvia's movements immediately become slow, blonde hair straight back, air slid along the blue glowing armor to the sides, blue eyes surrounded by dark red reflected his expressionless face, and the jade hand that could not find any flaws had a piercing turquoise current, stabbing towards his chest in a slow but coherent motion.

The time stagnation phenomenon of the apocalypse is actually X-3's mobilization of mental power to perform extremely fast calculations, not really freezing time and space, even if Sylvia's movements are slowed down in Victor's perception, his own movements are even slower than Sylvia's.

This only shows that Sylvia is moving faster than his fastest speed!

All the plans of the X-3 operation were all rejected, Victor was thoughtless, his golden eyes completely turned dark gold, the world faded into indescribable chaos layer by layer, the void wind element infused his body and mind, and his slow movements broke through the confinement like gelatin.

Extreme Dodge!

Victor felt only a moment of extreme freedom, and when the world returned to color, he saw Sylvia's upright back, her red hair draped over her shoulders like a flowing flame, and the beauty made him hold his breath, stop thinking, and everything around him seemed to fall into a strange silence.

At this moment, there was a slight movement and conversation not far away, followed by the sound of two people turning back together. The change in the Void Wind Elemental just now alarmed Sophia and Trisley, who ran over to check on the situation, but were stopped outside by the secret knight in charge of the vigilance. The Secret Knight explained the situation to the two Knights of the Storm, and they left.

Sylvia turned, and Victor, who had just regained consciousness, fell into a trance again.

Some of the beauty can make people feel ashamed of themselves and difficult to look at directly, such as the handsome man and the beautiful woman who is one in a thousand; some beauty can make people worship and chase and regard them as idols, such as the big star who is born beautiful; some beauty can make the monarch stunned and obedient, such as the peerless enchantment of the country and the city, but the beauty of the god knight transcends the limitations of the senses and can penetrate the soul, making people want to bow and worship, such as seeing the gods.

When Sylvia saw Victor looking at her, she was stunned and immediately wondered. The spiritual power of the legendary powerhouse can illuminate herself and see inside and out, even if she exerts her spiritual thorn with all her might, it will not be able to sting their souls, let alone charm their will.

Victor was in a strange state at the moment, and Sylvia's heart moved, and she didn't bother him, but just maintained the most vigorous fighting spirit and stood quietly aside.

After a while, Victor's eyes focused, his eyes returned to clarity, and he smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am moved by your beauty. ”

"Oh?"

Sylvia grabbed Victor's arm, her fiery hair turned soft gold, her eyes turned blue like the sky, and she asked softly, "What mystery have you discovered?"

Victor took Sylvia for a stroll on the lawn, and said as he went: "I mentioned to you that survival, reproduction, and thinking are the three major instincts of man, and all human activities are based on these three instincts, including spiritual activities and practical activities. What is beauty? Why do people love beauty and hate ugliness? Where does the criterion for judging beauty and ugliness come from?"

"If the instinct to survive and reproduce is the source of ordinary human emotions, it has evolved into emotions such as love, affection, friendship, jealousy, hatred, and indifference...... They love beautiful flowers, beautiful stones, pleasant sounds, rich colors, and beautiful scenery...... Where does this love of beauty come from? It seems that people are born with the ability to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, so who gives the criterion for judgment, and why does the criterion of beauty show universal commonality?"

Sylvia smiled faintly, her eyes full of admiration and encouragement, and asked softly:

"What's your answer?"

"In you, I see that beauty is the perfect embodiment of the laws of the world. Victor's eyes were deep, and his voice was full of power to tear through the fog:

"The love of beauty is the pursuit of perfecting the laws of the world, it is the fourth instinct given to human beings by the Creator, it is the driving force of thinking, the source of wisdom, and the greatest difference between intelligent beings and low-level beings. Only intelligent beings have a love for beauty, and it is because of their love of beauty that they will break free from the instinctive confinement of foraging and mating, stop and observe the world...... Observing flowers, trees, fruits, insects, mountains and rivers, wind and clouds, and all other natural creations, I learned to think and light up my wisdom. ”

Sylvia's eyes were fascinated, and she sighed and said, "Victor, I am touched by the beauty of your wisdom. After a pause, he said expectantly, "What about the practical significance?"

"Realistically, that's too big!"

Victor laughed and said brightly: "There are hundreds of law changes in the human bloodline, and it took Wizard Tofowen nearly a hundred years to sacrifice the lives of many death row prisoners, one by one, to cultivate an arcane warrior whose physical fitness is comparable to that of a beginner knight. Once a Tofowen wizard dies of old age, the art comes to an end. In fact, my soul bloodline secret method is also facing the same problem, hundreds of bloodline changes are a mutually balanced whole, there is a great risk of changing the bloodline law, if you don't practice well, death, injury and disability are inevitable...... If I modify the secret method according to the aesthetic principles of harmony, proportion, symmetry, and unity of diversity, I can avoid mistakes to the greatest extent. It can be said that the principle of beauty has allowed me to save decades of time to perfect the secret method of the soul and bloodline...... If my theory is true, in 10 years at most, we will have an arcane warrior comparable to a veteran trainee knight!"

Sylvie pursed her lips and asked, "Honey, aren't you a psychic warrior?"

"Psychic warriors, haha, dear, you're too greedy. Victor shook his head and smiled, and said ambitiously: "The Soul Warriors are aiming at Tournans, and they must at least have the level of a senior knight!"

"My dear, it's you who are greedy. ”

Sylvia couldn't help but smile, put her arms around Victor's arm with both hands, and said happily, "But I like it." ”

"Okay, let's put aside the matter of the secret method of the soul for a while...... In my eyes, they are no match for a finger of yours. Sylvia pinched Victor lightly, sighed, and said, "You know, what happened to me just now?"

Victor woke up from his joy and asked in surprise, "That's my Extreme Dodge Technique, what's wrong?"

"Hmm. Sylvia nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Extreme Dodge shouldn't be simply called a combat skill, it's a top-level talent...... Tell me first, what do you expect from Ultimate Dodge?"

Victor didn't hesitate to say, "When I trigger the Limit Dodge, I go around the back of the enemy, and the process is out of my control, and I can't even think about it. I want to be able to control the limit of dodging, at least to keep my will and not to have a gap in perception. ”

"The void in perception is a fatal flaw, and maintaining one's own will can maximize the counter-killing of the enemy.

Sylvia nodded, shook her head again, and said, "But it's impossible, you can't stay self-aware in extreme dodge...... Because, Extreme Dodge is connected to the Wind Elemental Sea, and you are in a fully elementalized state at the time. ”

"What?!" Victor's face changed dramatically, he stopped, and said in shock, "How is this possible? I'm not a high-ranking knight...... Isn't it enough to be fully elementalized...... Aren't you going back to the origin of the world? But I'm still alive and well......"

Sylvia glanced at him, frowned, and said, "You have incarnated into a Void Wind Elemental, and your dodge speed is extremely fast, but I have seen the blue law rune. ”

Victor froze in place, and Sylvia pulled him to continue walking, saying, "I guess only I can capture your law runes...... The Sword Saint Draven can also manifest the Law Rune and manipulate the power of the Fire Elemental Sea. And you control the power of the Wind Elemental Sea...... In other words, your application of the Void Wind Elemental is similar to the Chosen One's spell model, except that yours is a bloodline talent and they are soul talents. ”

"There's good news and bad news, you want to hear that first?" Sylvia asked with a smile.

Victor came back to his senses and said casually, "I want to hear the good news first." ”

"The good news is that your Extreme Dodge has a very high power over the Elemental Sea, close to the essence of the Void Wind elemental...... Meaning, you've made a spatial move. Sylvia smiled sideways: "Witchcraft, Divine Magic, Void Elemental, Physical Attack, Frontal Raid, Sneak Attack from behind, you can dodge a fatal injury, the only flaw is the moment gap after the flash ends." ”

Victor was overjoyed and grinned, "What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that if you encounter an opponent with a higher elemental sea power than you, Extreme Dodge will turn you into a ......" Sylvia stretched out her palm, held her red lips and blew out, "Turn into an air elemental." ”

Victor was stunned for a long time, his face gradually turned pale, looked at Sylvia, and asked in a trembling voice, "Just now...... You used all your strength to turn red-haired and red-eyed to save my life?"

"Alas...... I used all my strength to completely dispel the other three void elements, and it was with great difficulty that my beloved husband was saved, and no one died in the wind. Sylvia shook her head and sighed, took Victor's hand and pressed it on her full chest, and said pitifully, "Scared me to death...... Listen, my heart is still beating non-stop. ”

"Thank you......" Victor withdrew his hand with a blank expression, and exclaimed angrily:

"How can there be such a terrible talent!"

Extreme dodge is passively triggered, not controlled by Victor, and finally there is a fatal gap, even in the face of the Golden Knight, there is a danger of being counter-killed, if you encounter a legendary enemy, such as, Centaur Orogal, Earth Knight Neowest, then Victor will definitely be dead.

Sylvia comforted, "Don't forget, my dear, you are a legendary-level extraordinary marksman, and you shouldn't have been able to engage enemies in close combat in the first place. As a last resort, the Extreme Dodge talent can at least give you a chance to survive. ”

Victor's expression softened, and he nodded and said, "Honey, you're right......" Holding Sylvia's slender hand, he said gratefully: "Fortunately, you helped me test the limit dodge, otherwise, I might not even know how I died." ”

Sylvia smiled and said, "Actually, the level of Extreme Dodge is very high, and if you touch the origin of the world, it may be the path for you to break through the legend and set foot in the Sanctuary...... My advice is that since the process of dodging cannot be thought, decide on the direction and distance before dodging, and change from passive to active...... If you succeed, your nemesis will also be greatly improved, and the ultimate dodge will have to be renamed 'Void Flash'. ”

"Void flickering, good name!" Victor's eyes lit up and he asked, "Honey, what should I do?"

Sylvia shook her head helplessly and said, "I can't help you anymore...... If the high-ranking knights can master the law runes, we don't have to use the power of the elemental sea so roughly...... I think there's only one person who can help you...... Miller, the Divine Favorite. ”

Victor furrowed his slender eyebrows and said hesitantly: "Old man Miller is mysterious, I don't even know what he's thinking...... Especially listening to Roland's interpretation of the Great Prophecy, I was even more worried about Miller. ”

"Roland's insights into the Great Prophecy are very incisive, and I have benefited a lot, combined with the original sense of the fluctuations of the Elemental Sea, I can be regarded as a glimpse of the mystery of the Great Prophecy. Sylvia praised her head: "Roland can have this opinion, she is not far from the legend, and she must be a particularly powerful legendary knight." Because the essence of the water element is the passage of time, it is closely related to the Great Prophecy. ”

Victor asked incredulously, "You didn't know anything about the Great Prophecy before?"

Sylvia gave him a blank look, lowered her head and crushed the grass with her toes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Knowledge does not fall from the sky, how can the inheritance of the York family be compared to the Augustian family?

"Hmph, you say, do you like Roland?"

Victor hurriedly said: "I like it, but it's not like it between lovers, my relationship with her is like a brother and sister." I am honest about this and have nothing to hide. ”

"I even used the oath to defend myself...... You really have an idea for her. ”

Sylvia glanced at her lover, but her heart was sweet, and she gracefully lifted the hair around her ears, and then said:

"Tournans, Nakhtigar, Neowest, and the current Pope are not qualified to be on par with me, except for Miller, the Divine Servant, who may be on an equal footing with the Divine Knight. But Miller's strength comes from principle and self-discipline, and judging by his help to you, he is full of kindness to you. ”

"The purpose of our pursuit of power is to gain the power of free choice, and if Miller can help you go further, why not try it? If you become stronger, why worry about Miller's schemes?"

Listening to Silvia's words, Victor suddenly brightened up and smiled: "Honey, you are completely right. When I go back, I'll talk to Old Man Miller!"

Sylvia pursed her lips and smiled, "Before you go to see Old Man Miller, you should first go and comfort your lady." ”

"Sophia, I'm afraid, has been waiting impatiently. ”
