Chapter 168: Father and Son Under the Dark Flow of Stupidity (2)
"Father, I'm ......" Suddenly, Edison found that he didn't know how to continue, did he promise Lancer "Don't let us worry about it next time......"?
But in this case, Edison couldn't cope at all!
Because since he set foot on this road, the identity of the "traverser" is destined to make him go all the way to the dark! Edison was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid of implicating the people he cared about.
In the past two years, along the way, he seems to be confident in cultivating his subordinates, improving his entity, actively facing all difficulties, and constantly accumulating strength to plan for "becoming a god" in the future.
But in fact, what he accepted were all people who were forced into a corner by fate and had nowhere to stay. In them, Edison seems to be able to see his own shadow, and changing their fate is itself a kind of resistance to Edison's fate.
"Look, if you don't make them better, I'll just let them live a better life, if you don't give people a way to live, I'll give them a good way!" Probably subconsciously, Edison thought so, so he chose to take Ryan, Martin, Afra, and Bit as his subordinates.
Because changing their fate seems to be changing their own destiny...... Until Edison met Boris.
"Drunkard! Poor creature succumbing to fate......" At the first sight of Boris, Edison had no affection for this so-called teacher!
If it weren't for the identity and strength of the other party, Edison would not have paid attention to this kind of person at all, and the other party seemed to see through his thoughts, and made it difficult for him in every possible way, intending to make him give up, but how could Edison, who was stubborn, be knocked down by such means.
Edison had to prove that he would be able to overcome these small difficulties, otherwise how could he be qualified to talk about "becoming a god"!?
But as the two continued to come into contact, Edison learned more about Boris, and through the information combined with Boris's own disclosure, Edison knew a lot of things.
This man is fighting against the fate of the demon warrior who has not been able to break through the legend for 10,000 years, and for this, he does not hesitate to use himself as an experimental subject to prove that his method is feasible.
But just when he thought he had succeeded, fate left him alone, his disciples, children, and wife...... They all died in front of his eyes like balloons that had been blown up.
The only surviving disciple also lost his identity as a magician, from a genius female magician, to a muscle-ridden, middle-aged aunt-like demon warrior.
Behind this practice is the pleasure/feeling of increasing the magic power like a poison at the beginning, and until your body can't bear it anymore and ushers in a sudden death, the kind of congestion all over your body, like being boiled in boiling water, has awakened him from his sleep countless times, leaving him to drink to survive.
He can outlive his family only because he is the most physically fit of them.
......
During the trip, Edison began to understand and gradually understand this man, and sincerely called him "teacher", and also began to consider whether he could use the knowledge of another world to perfect the [spiral force].
On that day, when he told Boris that as long as he reversed the original direction, he could reshape his body, he named this cultivation method [Spiral Force], hoping that Boris could also use the fighting spirit to break through the sky to change his fate like a character in a certain anime in his previous life.
However, the reality is that Boris pinned his dreams and hopes on him, and chose to save Edison's life with death.
"Today, I saw the demeanor of a legendary warrior above the ninth order, but I also know that I have gone astray on this path, and if a demon warrior wants to break through the legend, he must not rely on the increasing natal magic power to break through, I have no chance, so the rest of the way, you will finish it for me!"
These were the last words that Boris left to Edison before he died.
......
In just two years, Edison has changed too many things, looking at his father in front of him, he actually gave birth to a sense of absurdity that things are not people, and yesterday was like a dream.
The child who once went out alone with curiosity and excitement was now smoothed out by the hardships of travel, and Boris's death to save him made Edison feel guilty and uneasy.
The ambition of "becoming a god" is still there, but the ubiquitous danger has made him see the mountains of corpses and blood behind him, and "not being predicted" means not being accepted by the world.
It was Boris who saved him this time, and it was Boris who died, so who will it be next time?
Although in the propaganda of the outside world, people habitually regard Edison as a legendary figure in the younger generation and the best example among countless traveling magicians, only Edison himself knows that under the rolling of memory, he is tired and helpless!
In a trance, Edison looked at Lancer and froze.
......
As if sensing Edison's inner entanglement and confusion, Lancer didn't say much to his son who had just woken up in his next words...... The conversation between father and son lasted only 5 minutes.
Lancer just asked Edison to rest more and chat with his mother more if he had nothing to do, and said that he would arrange everything, and Edison just needed to rest and recuperate for a while!
As for joining the astrology department, if you really don't get used to it, it's a big deal to quit.
To this, Edison's answer was only to nod his head and say, "Well, ......!"
In addition to calling "father" at the beginning, Edison, who was talking to Chino just now, didn't know where to start!
By the time he could react and talk to Lancer about what had happened in the past six months, Lancer had already left the ward for a while.
The door was reopened, and it was Martin, Ryan, Afra, and Bit who entered.
Seeing the spirit of the four people, Edison cheered up and chatted with a few people.
From the chats of several people, Edison learned that Martin had been favored by Zeus in the past six months because of his excellent soul perception and his identity as an "Arcanist".
Not only did he send his men to invite Martin to join the Night Inspector on several occasions, but he also tempted him with some information about the cultivation of the "Arcanist", promising to cancel the magic contract signed on him.
However, these conditions were all dragged down by Martin euphemistically with the interface of "Edison is not awake, and I really don't want to leave at this time!"
With this excuse as a shield, Zeus could no longer force anything on Martin.
At the same time, Martin also felt wary of Zeus's abnormal "enthusiastic" solicitation, he understood the special nature of the "Arcanist", but he did not feel that he was worth such a big price to win over, thinking that the only special place about himself was probably about the origin of the inheritance of the "Arcanist" and the "seed of greed" in his body!
So Edison woke up, and Martin ran over to discuss countermeasures.
......
On the other hand, the remaining three have not encountered such a thing.
Ryan and Afra were very fond of Edison's mother, especially after learning about the origins of their two children from Bit, which inspired their mother's love.
However, compared to ordinary children, these two people are much more bearish and precocious!
Through dialogue, Edison quickly relied on the inner sensing ability of the contract to show that the two had teamed up to "not fall into the city" to try to kill the low-level lizardmen.
To tell the truth, Edison was really surprised by the audacity of these two bear children, he thought that when he was seven years old, it was exaggerated enough to run out of the city in the middle of the night to kill wild wolves, but he did not expect that these two little ones not only inherited their own tradition, but also carried it forward.
You must know that the outside of the city of "not falling into the city" and the outside of the city of "safe city" are completely two different concepts.
To paraphrase the words in the game, it is: "Don't fall into the city" outside the city, it is completely an epic battlefield when the plot is triggered, and it has always been an intermediate combat dungeon, and those below level 3 are filled in like cannon fodder.
In comparison, those beasts outside the city of "Ping An City" can really be described as easy for novices to go out of the village and kill chickens and wolves!
In this regard, Edison could only warn the two of them severely, and for Ryan, Edison took the policy of "not allowing you to enter an area that is extremely dangerous to your own safety without an order!"
Afra has no contract, but because of the connection of the soul source, Edison has given a strong spiritual suggestion to restrict.
As for the last bit, the one whose real name is "Poseidon", Edison's look at him (her) is a little complicated.
Because he was by Edison's side from the beginning to the end, when others were talking with great interest, he just said lightly: "Oh! I haven't done anything recently, but I have cooperated with a lot of experiments, my lord, you just wake up now!"
But in fact, in half a year, 134 were seriously injured, and 27 times were forced to change gender, but he still found two hours a day to be by Edison's side, and this was the one.
Edison was able to wake up in half a year this time, partly because he was too desperate and had too many near-deaths during the experiment, which caused part of the soul origin to escape and be absorbed by Edison according to the contract.
For this kind of subordinate, Edison could only silently say in his heart: "I remember everything I owe you, but it's a pity that the body is a man!"
......
An hour later, the crowd dispersed, and when they came out, the expressions on the faces of the four of them were much more relaxed, although it was 2 o'clock in the morning, walking in the gloomy hospital corridor, they felt that their hearts were full of sunshine, and it was the expression of looking forward to a better future.
