Chapter 84
Ray's dissatisfaction and suspicion of wishing can be seen even by children. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask: "The wishing technique is also a well-known high-end spell, even if it is a legendary mage, not all of them may be able to cast it. Even a low-level wishing technique at a lower level often requires a high-level mage or even a legendary mage to perform it. Why do you look so disdainful of them?"
Ray sighed and recounted his experience.
When he heard that he had won the medal of "The World's Strongest Warrior", Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing: "These people are really creative! Awesome! Awesome—— is that medal still there?"
Ray was silent for a moment, then pulled out an old brass medallion.
It can be seen that this medal has been played with for a long time, and countless times of rubbing have made the sharp edges and corners become smooth, and it is more warm and pale gold, which looks quite a bit of precipitation over time.
The workmanship of this medal is very ordinary, and perhaps the blacksmith who made it did put a lot of thought into it, but if the technology is not at home, everything is in vain. For example, because of the poor material, its wear resistance is very poor, and the handwriting on the medal has become blurred, but some can only be faintly seen. As for the original patterns on the medal, most of them have been worn out, and they can't be seen clearly.
Steele just glanced at it and lost interest in it. Born in an aristocratic background, she was also a small connoisseur of jewelry, and she could see at a glance that this medal was indeed of inferior quality, and it was only enough to appear in a grocery stall selling souvenirs in a big city, and a few coppers could buy one.
But Sui Xiong stared at the medal intently, and after a long while, he asked gently, "Do you regret making that wish?"
"Regrets? Not really. Lei shook his head and said, "There are so many regrettable things I have done in my life, and that thing is actually not worth mentioning." ”
"If you don't really regret it, why are you so disgusted by wishing? ”
Ray hesitated for a moment, sighed deeply, and said something else.
That was when he hadn't become a lone thief and was exploring the Western Wilderness as an adventurer.
At that time, he hid his identity and strength, and joined a well-known team of adventurers in the form of a medium-level adventurer. The strength of this team is not very strong, but the atmosphere in the team is good. The captain was kind and fair, and everyone helped each other, which made him feel very satisfied.
A year or two later, they stumbled upon a treasure map, and after a lot of hardship, they finally found the treasure.
That treasure was indeed satisfying, and everyone got a lot of good things - the enchanted leather armor he was wearing at the moment came from that treasure.
Among the treasures, the most precious are the two wishing scrolls.
Around these two scrolls that can make all wishes come true, everyone fights for each other, and there is a mess - in fact, there are many elements of heckling. Eventually, the captain discussed with everyone and used one.
His wish was "I want to live forever."
"It's not a very reliable wish. Sui Xiong said, "Wishing Technique can't do this kind of thing." ”
Lei smiled bitterly and nodded: "You're right, after the captain made a wish, the space-time around him suddenly froze, imprisoning him inside, and then he was sucked into a black hole that appeared out of thin air, and no one knows where he went." ”
"Being imprisoned like this does seem to be immortal...... Sui Xiong shook his head and sighed, "Wrong wishes often get such results." After all, the will of mortals is not enough to confront the correction of the world, and it is not surprising that it is confused and misinterpreted. ”
Ray was dumbfounded, and wanted to bring the captain back, but there was nowhere to start. After some tossing, there is nothing to be done after all.
Losing his respected captain, the adventuring party soon fell apart. Ray continues his adventures as a lone traveler, and the others go their separate ways.
Soon after, Ray took on a mission to escort a caravan through the orc empire, coming and going for months. When he returned to the Western Wilderness, he learned something like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Rumors of the Wishing Scroll leaked out, and the famous smuggler "Iron Sand" came to the door, and the companions in the team were found one by one, either betrayed or killed, and finally the captain's wife and children were all killed, because they left the remaining scroll to the captain's son before they broke up.
"As a result, the scroll was taken away?" Sui Xiong asked coldly, "Later, the battle when you got the title of 'Destroying the Gate' came from this?"
"yes. I took out my savings and hired thieves to spread the word so that the Iron Sands Chamber of Commerce would mistakenly think that another organization was going to fight them, and everyone retreated back to headquarters. And I will carry the sword and kill the ****. Lei said lightly, with no joy or sadness.
The battle was extremely tragic, the famous iron sand chamber of commerce disappeared, the main members of the chamber of commerce were killed by thunder, except for a few lucky people who escaped by luck, even a chicken and a dog did not let go, and the name of "extinguishing the door" came from this.
Ironically, when Thunder Kill arrived at the room of the president of the Iron Sand Chamber of Commerce, he found that the chairman had set up a secret room that was completely isolated from all movement from the outside world, and carefully activated the scroll, making a wish that "I want to run out of wealth".
So Lei slashed him with a sword, threw a handful of gold coins on him, and said, "If you have the ability to use it, just use it." ”
Then, the gun fell in hand, and the guy was inserted into the heart.
"Well done!" Sui Xiong praised, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "His wish seems to have come true, it seems that it is really an 'inexhaustible wealth'......"
"Yes, inexhaustible wealth. Lei smiled sarcastically, "After these few incidents, I have a strong vigilance and antipathy to the 'wishing technique', and I always feel that this kind of thing is very unreliable, and I am afraid to avoid it." ”
"Wishing is unlikely to bring any good results at all. It's just bad, or worse. ”
At this time, Sui Xiong completely understood where his disgust with wishing came from, it was all a bloody lesson!
This is about like Sui Xiong looking at a game friend with a rather nervous knife temperament - that friend once fought back when their team was beaten 4-0 in a team battle, and one person killed all five of the opponents, and he also once suddenly fainted when the situation was very good, burying the victory that was almost already in hand...... In general, there are many fainting moments, and there are very few cases of explosions.
So they played the game together for a few months, and poor Sui Xiong not only failed to improve his competitive level, but fell from the gold level to the silver level.
From then on, whenever the "nerve knife" beckoned him to form a team, he always found all kinds of reasons to shirk it.
...... I'm scared of being tossed!
"But the Perfect Wishing Technique is different!" he said, "This spell will never have such a bad result!"
"The wishing technique is just like that, what difference can it make?" asked Ray rhetorically.
Sui Xiong was unhappy and explained loudly: "The wishing technique is a mortal spell, and the perfect wishing technique is a god spell, these two are completely different!
"What's the difference?"
"Effect!"
"What's the difference?"
"The perfect wishing technique will not have 'malicious results'. Sui Xiong erected a tentacle, like a finger to strengthen the persuasiveness, "If the wish does not get a good result, then this spell will revert to the state of no wish." ”
Of course, the Perfect Wishing Technique can't really "make all wishes come true", but as a god spell, it has a complete error correction mechanism. If a wish is not fulfilled in a way that is beneficial to the person making the wish, it will automatically cancel the wish and allow the person to make a new wish.
Let's take "Suppose Ray makes a wish that 'I want to be the strongest warrior in the world'", and if he uses the Perfect Wishing Technique, he will get feedback that "this wish cannot be fulfilled, please modify it, or make a new wish". As a result, he doesn't waste his precious wishes, and can adjust them to something like "I want to be a warrior stronger than a dragon", or "I want to be a warrior with my own divine power and speed".
In other words, the Perfect Wishing technique ensures that a wish is fulfilled in a positive way – not necessarily perfect, but never tricky. Right?" asked Ray after pondering for a moment.
Sui Xiong smiled: "Well, that's pretty much it. ”
Ray was silent for a long time, and patted Steele on the shoulder: "Come on, although I think you are more likely to become a pig, maybe the prodigal son will turn around and change his mind...... A perfect wishing technique, it's worth all your might!"
Although I don't know how many good deeds and gratitude I need to accumulate to ignite all the twelve flames of light in the blue ring—it must be an astronomical amount, but anyway, at least this is a clear "wish"!
In this world, I don't know how many strong people have their own unfulfilled wishes, and finally die with regrets. No matter how much effort they try and how much risk they take, most of them will not be able to achieve their wishes.
The legendary mage who invented the art of wishing is a tragic example. She was originally a princess of a country, and when she was practicing magic, she learned that her hometown was destroyed by war, and her relatives and friends died. In order to save her homeland, she spent more than a thousand years studying spells, and finally invented the art of wishing. But the spell didn't work for her purpose—even though she was so powerful that even the gods would have looked at her, the end result was to falsify all the historical records and get a "deliverance" that existed only on paper.
The great mage died in endless regret, and her power and will shook the world, eventually becoming a newborn deity, the god of regret. It is a deity who laments the unfulfilled wishes and sneers at the world as they chew on the pain in sorrow.
One...... The terrifying demon god.
Neither Lei nor Sui Xiong knew that the appearance of the Perfect Wishing Technique had a lot to do with the Demon God - it was the Demon God's teacher who invented the spell, a great sage who was so powerful that he could say no to the gods.
In order to redeem the hearts of his disciples, he spent hundreds of years and finally researched this spell.
In the end, the Perfect Wishing Technique failed to make up for the regrets of the Demon God, but it was able to make the world less regretful.
Now, with a lot of hard work and a lot of good deeds, the lucky Steele can unmistakably fulfill a wish.
Of course...... The premise is that she has to do enough good deeds.
After hearing this, Steele's eyes widened, and she stared at the blue ring on her right hand in amazement, and kept muttering to herself: "Perfect wishing technique, wish...... Perfect wishing technique, wish ......"
As she spoke, her eyes were not quite right, and at the same time, inside the red ring on the back of her left hand, one flame after another burned one after another......
