"Retreat?"
Facing Yuren, Ofariel couldn't hide the surprise in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is it such a difficult opponent to deal with? Even you, Lord Yulian, have chosen to retreat?"
"In a sense, it's a tricky guy. ”
In contrast to O'Faryl's surprise and surprise, Julien was very calm and relaxed.
"In the previous examination of you, I felt that something was not quite right, but after facing her head-to-head this time, it confirmed my idea. That innate ability is just too cumbersome, it's not something that can be done casually. ”
"What kind of ability is it?"
Hearing this, O'Faryl couldn't help but ask curiously, frankly speaking, it was the first time she had seen Yulian so cautious, you know, even when facing the Sith Empire before, he didn't show such caution, and it was a relaxed and playful mood. In fact, this time O'Faryl didn't think too seriously about the matter, in her opinion, her defeat was the result of her lack of ability and combat experience, but as long as Yulian came out, then it could definitely be done. So, when she saw that Yuren and the twin sisters would also return in vain, she could imagine how surprised Offariel was.
"According to my examination, the original blow completely destroyed half of your body, and the subsequent recovery is more appropriate to say 'regeneration' than 'restoration'. ”
"'Restoration' vs. 'Regeneration'?"
Hearing this, O'Faryl frowned slightly, she was not stupid, she naturally understood the meaning of this, although the effect between the two looked the same, but the process was completely different.
"That's right. ”
Yulian nodded.
"According to the circumstances at the time, the part that made up your body had been completely and completely destroyed, leaving no trace. If it weren't for the fact that you have a strong store of mana, it wouldn't be so easy to restore it. However, it is almost impossible to achieve this level for a normal magic attack. What's more, unlike humans, you don't have the fragile body of humans, and with the current body of yours, which is completely constructed by Mana, its density is so great that it cannot be invaded by any magical power, let alone with such a powerful force, it is absolutely impossible. ”
At this, Yuren paused, he looked at the twin sisters sitting next to him, and the two looked at each other, then chuckled and nodded.
"So, as I judged with Messiah and Semiya, that maybe it was some kind of power that could destroy Mana. ”
"So ........."
Offariel looked at Yuren with some surprise.
"Do you mean, that young lady's talent aura is similar to my Illusory caste?"
"No, it's a completely different concept. ”
Yuren quickly replied in the negative.
"Your illusory affiliation is nothing more than the process of reverting Mana's possessions to Mana, and Mana still exists, but it has decomposed into something as invisible and untouchable as air. But this power, it is to destroy Manna completely......... Moreover, the illusory caste has limitations, and you know it as well, Ofariel, the illusory caste can only decompose the unnaturally concentrated Manna, but it cannot decompose the products of nature. ”
"This ..............."
Ofaryl's eyes widened in surprise, she seemed to realize something. That's right, this continent, all of them are made of Mana, whether it is mountains, water, animals, plants, insects, or humans, these are all the condensates of Mana. If the Illusory caste can really decompose all the products of Mana, then at this moment, by her side, not to mention humans, I am afraid that there is nothing left. But this is not the case now, the only thing that the Illusory caste can do is the mages and the spells they unleash.
"But the young lady was markedly different, I wasn't sure before, but after fighting her today, I was convinced of it. ”
"Why?"
"Because of the weapon in her hand. ”
Yuren said, reaching out and gesturing in the air.
"Needless to say, in terms of hardness, it is also superbly superior in terms of resistance and resistance, but it is unusually light - this is not something that can be done by any metal, and according to my inference and feelings, that young lady's weapon is probably made of 'Starfall Stone'. ”
"Starfall Stone ......"
It should be said that worthy of the erudite and talented former princess, Offariel's brain only worked for two seconds, and he immediately searched for his information from the vast mind.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's something that fell from the sky?"
"That's true. ”
For this kind of thing, Yulian is also very familiar with it, in fact, this is what is often called "meteorites" on the earth, those meteors that pass through the atmosphere and do not burn completely fall on the ground, forming such things. Of course, this kind of thing is not even known to have any effect on Earth, although many science fiction movies and novels have mentioned its magical effects, but in reality, there is no news about this, at most it is just a concern that these things have bacteria from outer space or something...... That's just the plot of the last movie.
However, people on this continent do not seem to have so much worry about meteorites, not so much because of their lack of imagination, but because of the completely different cultures of the two countries. After all, the people on the earth have already walked out of the earth and begun to observe the universe and space head-on, but the people on this continent obviously did not do this, they just simply thought that the stars were stars, that is, things that hung in the night sky and glowed, for such things, although they would be curious, but obviously lack caution.
On this continent, meteorites have a function other than bringing bacteria from outer space.
"The Starfall Stone is completely uncirculated and is not composed of Mana. In this way, I can understand why that young lady did not use spells at all when she fought me, but kept using combat skills. Normally, even if you are not a magic knight who specializes in this area, you should learn the skills of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Like Messiah and Semiya, they would apply magic to their weapons before fighting, which was a basic lesson as a magic knight. But the young lady didn't, and if she was holding a weapon made of Starfall, then that made sense. No matter how powerful a mage is, he needs a spell casting tool. Moreover, the young lady's weapon is so huge, she naturally can't free her hands to cast spells and fight at the same time, and the things made by the Starfall Stone can't circulate Mana, so it means that the magic is ineffective........."
Thinking of this, Yu Lian pouted maliciously. I don't know if there is radiation on this so-called starfall, maybe the young lady will die of leukemia in a few years. And this is one of the reasons why Yulian chose to evacuate, the people of this world don't understand what radiation is, but he doesn't want to die because of it.
"In short, as a member of the Mage Guild, unless she has some kind of particularly troublesome ability, it is impossible for the Mage Guild to equip her with such a weapon. And right now, I think the reason why she has this weapon is because of her strength. ”
After carefully explaining to Ofaril, Yulian did not get a response from the other party, on the contrary, the girl tilted her head slightly, and her eyes showed a hint of sensitivity and coldness.
"Lord Yuren, you're really familiar with this mage lady. ”
"Huh?"
"You never seem to have mentioned any information about this young lady before I went to war?"
“........................ It's a trivial matter, there's nothing to say. ”
"The other party is a magic knight, or a talent knight. Are you not going to tell me anything, and can you give me a reasonable, acceptable reason for this?" Lord Eurian?"
Historically, Ofariel has addressed Yuren as "you", and once she changes to an honorific, it means that things will turn to a troublesome place.
“............”
In the face of Offariel's slightly reproachful gaze, Yulian looked back at her without shying away, and then, he gracefully reached out, took the teacup, and then took a sip gently. Then, turn your head and look out the window. His gaze was deep, shining with the brilliance of wisdom and a hint of heavy sadness. Then, Yulian sighed softly.
"The weather is really nice today, will it snow?"
“...........................”
"Messia, Semia, it's almost time to change into winter clothes. ”
“...........................”
"Well, this black tea seems to be a little too sweet, and it seems that it shouldn't put so much sugar. ”
“....................................”
"I don't know what happened to Charlotte, but now in the Twilight Forest, everything is still running normally. ”
“..................... So, what are you going to do, my lord?"
Since the other party had no intention of trying to defend himself at all, Ofaril could not do much but raise his hand in surrender. However, when she thought about it, she was a little skeptical.
"However, if you follow your words, then that Miss Mage should be an important person in the guild, after all, it is even more dangerous to be able to completely destroy Mana, which has been eliminated, isn't it?"
"If her aura is diffuse, then it is. But for now, it's clear that this young lady's aura is activated in the form of a beam cannon, so the damage to Manna is very limited. It's like if you scoop a glass of water from a pond and it won't make much of a difference to the pond, but if you get the whole pond out at once, it's a different story. In the previous battles with you, I have seen clearly how she is released, and this level of Mana destruction will not have any irreparable impact on the region. Otherwise, I don't think this young lady would have survived until now. ”
Offariel's expression was a little helpless, but she also knew that what Yuren said was indeed the truth. It's just that Her Royal Highness the former princess thought hard for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.
"I really didn't think that anyone would have such a belief? What is the benefit of destroying Mana? I really can't figure it out. ”
"No, that's not necessarily the young lady's belief. ”
Julien shook his head, rejecting Ofariel's claims.
"I have already told you before, although the power of the gifted knight comes from faith, but the caste in everyone's body is different, take Judy as an example, her belief is not very similar to fire, but her talent aura is elemental, this is because the original caste in her body is fire, so it will be manifested in this form. And that Miss Mage and Judy should be of the same type, but the natural soul surname contained in her body is obviously more high-end than Judy. ”
"I see.........
Offariel nodded, but then she asked with a frown.
"So, what does this have to do with your decision to retreat, my lord?"
"It's simple. ”
Yuren put down his teacup and held out his fingers.
"First, my body is also made of the Manna element, and unfortunately, I don't have the strength of you, if I am beaten, then I will not die or be half disabled, I am very afraid of death. ”
“...............”
"Second, the Mage Association has always had a good relationship with the Final Knights, although I don't know what medicine they took wrong this time, but the Wizard Knights are also a face project of the Mage Association after all, these guys can lose their lives, but they can't lose face. I don't want to have one more enemy for no reason. You know, this young lady is not one of those bandit swordsmen, she is a gifted knight, and if I want to deal with her, then I have to give it my all, and because of her tricky natural power, I can't hold it back. This kind of thing only exists when the difference in strength between the two sides is too large. And both of us are talented warriors, so if we really fight, we can only do our best and know our destiny. ”
“......... In other words, Lord Yuren, are you afraid that you will accidentally hurt her, or even kill her?"
"It's almost a given. ”
Yuren shrugged his shoulders, in fact, this is also the reason why he quickly chose to retreat in the previous battle, once that young lady really wants to activate her innate power, then it will become very troublesome for Yulian, and in case of killing her by mistake, although the Mage Association may not say much on the surface, but Yulian is very clear that he will not want to get help from them in the future.
Fortunately, however, this young lady was not without her weaknesses. ”
"Weakness?"
"That's right. ”
You Lian waved his fingers, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
"It can be said that she and you are two opposite beings of the same coin, Miss O'Faryl. You lack combat experience, but you have the consciousness to kill and be killed. But she's the complete opposite, she has a lot of combat experience, but she doesn't have the idea of killing or being killed at all......... The root cause is probably precisely because she has too much power. ”
"This ...... I don't really understand. ”
Offariel looked at Yuren curiously and in surprise.
"If you have great power, then killing and being killed shouldn't be a problem. Only the weak, powerless will be afraid of being killed, but why should those who have great power be afraid?"
"Because they don't have that need. ”
In the face of Ofariel's curious inquiry, Yuren sighed lightly.
"As I said before, Miss O'Fariel, mercy can only be achieved after the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. For example, if you and I were to kill yourself in front of me right now, I would have a thousand ways to make you completely unsuccessful, even if the dagger in your hand would pierce your heart in a second. This is the gap in strength, and the bigger the gap, the more obvious this feeling will be. And at that time, you will find that even life and death are completely up to you, but to others. With that young lady's strength, I'm afraid there are not many people on this continent who can match her, so she can indulge in other people's lives and deaths at will, as long as she doesn't want to, then the other party can't even force her to die. And it is precisely because of this power that it brings her great confidence......... She is confident that she can stop death and killing, at least, she won't kill anyone. And for the killed...... Since he has no experience in killing, it is not surprising that he has no concept of being killed. ”
Saying this, Yu Lian showed a cold smile.
"So, I don't need to fight her head-on, all I need to do now is to let her understand the true meaning and concept of murder, and after that, it will be much easier to deal with her. ”
"In other words, you didn't plan to use the Positive Attack Technique, but chose the Heart Attack Technique?"
"That's right. In this case, the detour is obviously much more effective than the main attack, especially the young lady, no matter how you look at it, it seems that she has never left her birdcage at all, so it is also time for her to look at the outside world, then I think this young lady must come to a completely different conclusion than before. ”
Yuren nodded, then he stood up and looked out the window.
"That young lady's heart is too pure to be polluted, and after that, we'll talk about fighting...... It's much easier to deal with. That way, it's easy to get her away, and we don't need to get into any big problems with the Mage Guild. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Offariel.
"Miss O'Faryl, how is your body feeling?"
"It's been mostly recovered, so there's nothing wrong with it. ”
Hearing O'Faryl's answer, Yuren smiled slightly, and then, he reached out and gracefully made an inviting gesture.
"Well, then, let's go to the theater together, I think, there must be a good show going on right now. ”
