Chapter 40: The Unrecognized Traveler (2)
Chapter 40: The Unrecognized Traveler (2)
My own premonition has been fulfilled......
Beria ......
That guy almost broke into Vandel with an overwhelming force, and took away the astrological secret book that has been regarded as a treasure by astrologers throughout the ages, and the elders of Vandel had little room to fight back in front of him......
Even the elders didn't dare to make a rash move......
Looks similar to himself, and also has the power of Sloth, that guy......
"Alas!" Shaking his head, Soth pushed away his family's big mén, for him, maybe this was the place where he could really relax, and forget his troubles for a while. 【】
After entering the room, Soth was very surprised to see Dia sitting at the long table in the hall with her face in her hands, but said with a little amusement, "What do you think?"
"Huh?" Dia seemed to be taken aback, subconsciously raised her head, and saw that it was Soth, so she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, faintly unnatural, and said with a smile, "You're back, Soth!"
"Hmm!" Soth nodded, then seemed to notice the two teacups on the table, and asked in surprise, "There are guests?"
"Ahh......h
"Lilith," Soth didn't care, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "I remember, it was your roommate at the time, right?" I remember that you had a good relationship...... "As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head and said, "At that time, Lilith was also one of the [afternoon tea sisters] that Allen was pursuing, hehe!"
"Poof!" Dia couldn't help but laugh out loud, revealing a gentle expression, and muttered, "Anyway, it's really nice to be able to meet her......
Sos couldn't help but glance at Dia, and he also knew very well that Dia didn't have many friends who could talk in Vando, and the relationship with NV children such as Lavia and Lisa was not so harmonious......
It's going to be boring......
Sighing secretly, Soth followed Dia's words and said, "yes, that's great, by the way, then she's also in Van now? I mean Lilith?"
"She lives in Sasson now, and she asked me to go to ......her when I have time," said Dia, as if thinking of something, pointing to her left hand, "but she seems to be married, to Vincent Flores......"
"Vincent Flores?" Soss, who was pouring himself a glass of water, was stunned and frowned, "I remember he was ......"
"Well," seemed to guess Soth's thoughts, and Dia lowered her head and whispered, "So I didn't come down, I just said that I was going to take the magic certificate recently, and I would ...... after a while."
Sos glanced at Dia in amazement, shook his head and smiled bitterly, walked up to her gently, put his right hand around her, and said gently, "She came to see you, which means that you have a good relationship, why do ......you refuse?" Although I don't have a crush on Vincent Flores, I'm grateful to Lilith for informing me in the first place......"
"Huh?" Dia looked up, as if in confusion.
With a somewhat mischievous look on his face, Soth teased and said, "That's when there was a person who locked himself in his room alone and didn't talk all day......
Dia suddenly understood, her cheeks turned crimson, and she said coquettishly, "Oh, it's been so long, how do you remember......" As she spoke, she buried her head deep in Soth's chest and muttered, "After getting the news of my mother's death, I felt that the whole world had collapsed, and it was you who created a new world for me, a very warm world......"
"Dia......"
Raising her head and secretly glancing at Soth, Dia seemed to think of something interesting, reached out and scraped Soth's face, and said with a smile, "At that time, you still called me [Senior Sister]...... Since when did you secretly omit the word "senior sister]?--Remember, if you have the chance to run into Lilith, don't call her [Lilith-senpai], or she will make fun of me!"
"Huh?" asked Soth, puzzled.
"Because ......" Dia's face showed a little inexplicable flush, with a little shyness, biting her lip and muttering, "Because Lilith has learned badly......" As she said, she seemed to notice something, raised her head and diverted the topic and said, "Don't talk about this, by the way, Soth, did you have a good job today?"
"Hehe......" Seeing Dia say this, Soth couldn't help but sigh, he was stared at by Lavia, who was idle all day, can he not work hard?
The most hateful thing is still that guy Alan, who ran away as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, it was too boring!
"Huh?" Seeming to notice South's strange expression, Dia asked in surprise, "Is something wrong with Reochs Academy?"
"That's not ......" Soth shook his head self-deprecatingly, then as if he had thought of something, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Still, something happened to Vander!"
"Yay?"
So, Soth simply told Dia about Vander's birth, causing Dia to cry out again and again, until he was relieved to learn that Sister Abel and the elders were safe and sound, after all, during the time she lived in Vander, for some reason, Abel took great care of her, and the two were very close.
The next morning, Soth, who was having breakfast at home with Dia, suddenly felt that the whole of Vandor shook violently like an earthquake, and what made him even more concerned was the surprised cries of some dark magicians on the street.
What's going on?
However, this thought only turned in Soth's mind and disappeared without a trace, after all, now that Argus was defeated and the necromancers were attached to Reox, where would any force in the Empire dare to attack the magical city of Vandor inhabited by thousands of dark mages?
Skeptical, Soth and Dia hurried out of Mén, and to their surprise they saw the vast square, where a large number of dark magicians had already gathered, looking up at the west and exclamation.
Suddenly, Soth noticed the necromancer Poole standing in the crowd.
After the defeat of Argus, it was he who took the initiative to come to Soth, on behalf of the necromancer, and chose to attach himself to the Reochs Academy to ensure that they could continue to live in the hard-won world under the sun, and in order to avoid another escalation of casualties, Soth, who was the director of the Reox Academy, reached an agreement with him.
It is worth mentioning that Poole is also now a professor at Reochs Academy, bishop necromancy, of course, just some low-level magic similar to skeleton summoning.
"Professor Poole!" Thoss was the first to say hello.
Because of Argus, the necromancer Poole had known Soth for a long time, so he made that suggestion, only to see him bow his head slightly and bow his head for a salute, then glance at it, and said with a smile, "Oh, it's the dean, good morning!"
"Good morning!—what's the matter, enemy attack?" Soth smiled strangely, looking at Poole's polite appearance, it was hard to imagine that the other party was a powerful necromancer who could summon immortal kings.
"It doesn't look like it!" Poole smiled slightly, then glanced at Dia beside Soth, and said politely, "Hello, Mrs. Kleist, it's a pleasure to meet you!" As one of the professors at Reox Academy, he is one of the few people who knows something about Dia and Soth, so he calls Dia by Soth's last name.
"Mr. Poole, you're too polite," Dia bowed her head shyly, and then asked curiously, "What's the matter, why is everyone gathered here?"
"It's because of that!" Poole chuckled and raised his hand to the west, looking in the direction he was pointing, and Dea looked in amazement at an incomparably tall behemoth, like the legendary Titan of Giants, approaching Vandor little by little.
"This is ......" Soth's eyes showed a little surprise, suddenly, he felt a trace of magic fluctuations, and then, a huge three-pointed star magic array appeared in the square, only to hear the sound of brushing, Vander's professors appeared in everyone's eyes without warning.
"Large-area spatial teleportation magic?" those black mages let out an exclamation, and then looked at the person, and their faces suddenly showed a respectful look, and muttered, "Is it Grand Elder Jifus......?" He is the most famous astrologer!"
Under the respectful gaze of those dark mages, the Great Elder of Vandel walked up to Soth on crutches, looked at him a little sluggish, and said with a smile, "It seems that we old men need your help this time, Xiao guy!"
"Eh, Great Elder, you are too polite......" Soth was a little shocked by the Great Elder's attainments in spatial magic, after all, when he was in Vander, Great Elder Bernie Chefs gave him the impression that most of them were just a verbosity and a somewhat forgetful old man, but he didn't expect that he had such a powerful strength and could use spatial magic to teleport so many people at one time.
"You're not welcome," Grand Elder Bernie Jeffs sighed slightly, and muttered on crutches, "Abel Xiao has already contacted you, hasn't he?" Vandel has escaped...... as he spoke, he raised his head, glanced deeply at Soth, and said meaningfully, "The stronger the power you have, the easier it is to be swayed by that powerful force, be firm in your beliefs, Soth!"
"Don't be so unkind, Great Elder!" the other professors also walked over, looked at Soth and said with a smile, "Don't we know about this Xiao guy Soth?"
"Yes...... "Grand Elder Bernie Jeffs sighed slightly, looked at Soth and said sincerely, "So, I'm more worried about ......"
"Huh?" Soth looked at the Great Elder Bernie Riffs with some astonishment, and then at the elders who seemed to be hiding something, and was a little puzzled, at this moment, Abel who was holding his son Max came over, glanced at Soth with some deep meaning, and said softly, "This matter will be talked about later, you evacuate the crowd first...... It's going to be a bad thing!"
"Bad thing?" Before Soth could understand, he suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and when he looked up, he was shocked to see a huge rock colossus like the legendary Titan, and at some point it had approached Vandor, and was looking at Van Do's central square, and there was a loud sound like thunder.
"There's no place for me to stay, ...... Abel"
"Huh!" Abel, who was looking at Soth with a strange gaze, couldn't help but raise her head and roll her eyes, and said angrily, "You think there will be?
"Oh......" The titan-like statue shrank its head.
"Gadian?" Thuss's eyes widened in astonishment, if memory serves, isn't Gadian the iron mén on Van Delta?
"Let's explain later," Abbey waved his right hand and said angrily to the onlookers of the dark mages, "What are you doing standing here?"
"Uh...... Yes!" The dark mages who were watching in the square scattered one after another, after all, they had lived in Sgdal for a while, and they must not know this NV man who existed like the Vander NV King.
"Sister Abel!" Dia, who was beside Soth, screamed sweetly, ran to Abel's side in surprise, stretched out her finger and poked the sleepy Xiao baby in her arms, and said with a smile, "And you, Xiao Max!"
"You!" Abel, who was wearing a dark blue astrologer's robe, glanced at Dia helplessly, held the baby in her arms to her, and then frowned at Soth angrily and said, "Didn't you make arrangements in advance? Why are so many people gathered here?"
"Uh?—I thought ......" Southton smiled wryly, glancing at the three obelisks that surrounded the gigantic Gardian, who would not know the true identity of Gardian, and said secretly in his heart, who knew that you would move the whole of Vander......
So, under the amazed gaze of the inhabitants of Vandor and those black magicians, Gadian's huge size began to shed some stones from time to time, and then, it changed back to the original appearance of Vandel, the tower of thunder, floating above Vandor, this almost undefended magic city, finally had a decent means of defense.
"You guys, go clean up the streets for me!" Pointing to the rubble left behind by some dark mages asking them to clean up the streets, Abel turned his head to look at Soth, and said in a deep voice, "Soth, you come with me, I have something to tell you!"
The Tower of Thunder Vandel was transferred to Vandol, which gave the dark mages living in Vandor a topic of conversation after dinner, especially when it came to Gadian as an ancient weapon, which was what Vandel really looked like.
And after the end of this farce, the unwitting Soth was called by Abel to the dean's office of the Reochs Academy, after all, because of Gardian, the entire Van Delta was almost 1uan inside, and it was temporarily uninhabitable.
In addition to the elders of Vander, there were also Lavia and Allen, who also felt the earthquake-like tremors, and the werewolf Jean Connell, the demon god Simonli, and the Van Zhuo vampire Ulric, who lived next to Thos and Dia, and Gianna, who had recently moved to Vandor, and so on.
For the sake of mentioning this, except for Scott and the demon god Legakin who live in Sassen, everyone else basically lives in Van Duo temporarily.
The people who came one after another suddenly crowded the dean's office, which had been spacious.
"So, I'll explain it first!" As if the real owner of Reox, Abel had no consciousness of being a guest at all, and walked around the room, then stood against the desk, frowned, and said, " I think everyone present should have basically heard that half a month ago, a guy who called himself Beria attacked Vanderle and snatched the astrologer's extremely precious book of astrology, although except for a few casualties, his guy did not make any cruel moves, but because of Gadian's stupid relationship, the entire Vander basically cannot be repaired in a short time, so I plan to transfer Vander to Vander, with the help of Vander's power, to avoid this kind of thing from ......happening again."
"Are you going to ......" The corners of Alan's mouth, who was standing against the wall, couldn't help but smile a little playfully, but he was glared at by Abel's eyes, and immediately smiled and stopped talking.
"Isn't Vandel's strength enough to protect himself?" Lavia, who was sitting on the sand, frowned, "What is the origin of that guy named Beria?"
As soon as the words fell, the Elders of Vander, who were in the know, subconsciously glanced at Soth, during which the Grand Elder Bernie Jeffs, who was sitting in a chair, shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He is a very powerful young man, but it is a pity that he stubbornly chose the path of being the enemy of the whole......"
"Isn't it powerful?" Lavia couldn't help but glance at Dia, seeing her standing beside Soth, holding Abel's son Max, looking happy, Lavia seemed a little unhappy, pointing at Soth and saying angrily, "Better than him?"
To Lavia's surprise, Abel slapped the table after turning to the desk, leaned over and said in a deep voice, "Yes!
"Demigods?" The werewolf who was standing behind Lavia with his arms crossed showed a somewhat playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "The guy with the name of the god seems to be not a simple goods, right?"
"Of course, Mr. Connell!" Abel glanced at Conil, who of course knew who he was, and after glancing at everyone, she said in a deep voice, "The Apostle is powerful, I think you should know it, whether it's Argus or South...... In the past, we thought that the Great Magician was the most powerful power that human beings could possess, but the appearance of the Apostle changed this situation, and even the incomplete Apostle had the power of the Great Magician and the greater magician......" At this point, she raised her hand and pointed at Soth, and continued, "In the case of Soth, he is now at the level of [the more ordinary magician], and above this level, the elders of Vanderle define it as...... Demigods!-Although he is not a god, he has the power of a god!"
"That is to say......" Glancing at Abel in astonishment, Gianna said in surprise, "The man who attacked Vander is stronger than my brother?"
"When...... Brother?" Abel looked at Gianna in amazement, in fact, she had noticed this beautiful young girl very early, and took this opportunity to ask in surprise, "I take the liberty of asking, who are you?"
"Ah," as if noticing something, Gianna bowed to Abel and the elders of Vander, and said softly, "I'm Gianna Malagigi Hastings, the sister of Soth, please take care of me, Abel nv!"
"Hastings?" Elder Bernie Givens, who was sitting in his chair with his eyes closed, seemed to be interested at once, and looked at Gianna and said in surprise, "Are you the grandson of that Xiao guy in Weston?
"Uh, no, I'm his student, but old Weston has always been nice to me, like Sun NV......"
"Oh," Grand Elder Bernie Jeffs nodded in realization, muttering on crutches, "Weston is also an outstanding magician from our Vander, and at that time I had just become a full-fledged member of Vander's research, and that little guy ......"
"Alright!" Abel couldn't help but interrupt the Great Elder's fond memories and said angrily, "Who wants to listen to these boring memories of yours!"
"Well, it's not a boring memory," Grand Elder Bernie Jeffs muttered dissatisfied, then looked at Gianna and said in a whisper, "I've got time to play with Fandel......
"......" Abel couldn't help but shake her head, coughed, and continued, "Soth's sister is good, but I'm sorry, now is not the time to catch up!" As she spoke, she sighed slightly, shook her head, and said, "Continuing with the topic, Beria, that man has more power than Argus, and is also an apostle, and a fully integrated apostle who can wield the power of God, so don't get into conflict with him before he leads to anything bad...... Especially you, Soth!"
"What do you mean......" Lavia said incredulously, looking at Abel suspiciously, "even Soth can't defeat him......?
"Argus is Argus, Beria is Belial......" Abel shook his head heavily, and at this moment, Soth, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and asked tentatively, "I can't defeat Beria, because he is the future me, right?"
"What are you talking about, South?" Alan said puzzled, but as soon as the words fell, Abel glanced at Souths in surprise, and said in a low voice with a somewhat inexplicable tone, "You have noticed?"
"Ahhh......h
Glancing at Soth inexplicably, Abel was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly, and muttered, "The power of the ancient will is too strong, as a human being, you can't defeat the apostle at all, I was very glad that you as an apostle did not go down the wrong path, even if it is Argus, who is also an apostle, I have expectations for you, but this time is different...... Belial, it's too bad for you, to put it mildly, you don't have any qualifications to compete with him at all, he is not only a powerful black magician, but also has mastered the unique etheric power of our astrologer, that guy is even more than the Great Elder in terms of spatial magic......"
"Great ......" Soth glanced at the Great Elder Bernie Riffs in surprise, he had just seen the incredible spatial magic skills of the Great Elder, but Abel said that Beria had surpassed the Great Elder?
Glancing at Soth with a faint concern, Lavia frowned and said, "Together, can't any of us deal with Beria?"
Abel shook his head slightly, and said hopelessly, "As human beings, we don't even have the qualifications to fight Belial, as long as the other party is willing, he can erase the existing god power at any time and wipe us out, unless it is an apostle...... And the only apostle we can hope for is Soth, but the bad thing is that this opponent, Soth hardly has any chances...... Who can overcome their own future?"
"So we're helpless?" muttered the vampire Ulrik.
Frowning and thinking about it, Lavia asked suspiciously, "How did that guy get here?" I mean Beria......
"I don't know much about space magic......," said Abel, who raised his hand and gestured to the Grand Elder Bernie Jeffs, and whispered, "Let the Great Elder explain it to you......
The Great Elder who was sitting in the chair slowly opened his eyes and said in a tone similar to teaching, "We know, children, the world we live in is not a single one, it is composed of countless spaces, which is the so-called plane ......"
"Great Elder!" couldn't help but interrupt the Great Elder's words, Abel said angrily, "Aren't we talking to you about space magic, can you explain it briefly?--I doubt now that you in that world are also so wordy, if so, Beria's ability to travel through the plane is probably entirely your responsibility!"
"Huh?" the Great Elder was stunned, his face showing a little embarrassment, and said, "I'm not afraid that you won't understand......
"Don't speculate like that!—to put it simply!"
"Alright," the Great Elder sighed in disappointment, then fell silent on crutches, glanced at Soth, and whispered, "Beria, the most gifted child I have ever met, that is, the future you, Soth, I don't know how I taught him in that world, but he actually has the power to travel through time...... This is also a miracle that has never happened in the history of our astrologers!--the all-knowing and all-powerful star told me to avoid conflict with that man, and I have never had such a thing happen in my life!
Since Beria can shuttle through the plane, it means that he has mastered the source force, the original power of the world...... It can be said that even if he abandons his apostle, he is not something you can deal with now, Soth!--trust the guidance of the all-knowing and all-powerful stars, and try to avoid conflict with him......
If that little guy is just an astrologer with outstanding talents, maybe you have hope of winning, but, unfortunately, he is the future you, he has the same apostolic power as you, and he is more powerful than you, and more importantly, he is very clear about your affairs, xìng, preferences......
Remember, boy, Beria and Argus are not rivals on the same level, and to put it mildly, even ten Argus are no match for one Berial!--If Argus has the power to subvert the country, then that little guy named Berial can subvert the whole world!"
"Isn't that no one else able to defeat him?" Alan asked, frowning.
"That's what I'm going to say next," the Great Elder glanced at Soth with a praising gaze and said with a sigh, "When I first saw you, I thought you were a very talented child, but I didn't expect to reach this ......level one day," he paused, sighed slightly, shook his head, and said, " I don't know what that kid was for, but traveling through time and space is a very stupid practice, and I know the dangers well, and I'm sure that the little guy who crossed me won't be unaware, however, he still chose this path that is almost self-destructive...... I really don't want to call such a genius a character stupid......"
"Self-destruction?" asked Soth, confused.
"Hmm!" the Great Elder nodded, with a little unbearable, shook his head and sighed, "You don't know much about space magic, so you don't know that the existence of each world has its own unique rules, which are also the so-called laws of our magicians, even if they are gods, they can't overcome the constraints of the laws...... The power of the ancient will is more embodied in the means of deceiving the laws of the world, not more, not the more!
Because of the existence of the law, the ancient will could not directly descend into this world, so with the existence of the apostle, like Argus, compared to forcibly entering this world, even Ma Mén chose a roundabout and reliable means, and the Xiao guy named Belial used his knowledge of space magic to forcibly enter this world, which is what is really terrifying about him!
However, he will also pay a heavy price for his actions!
As a traveler who has traveled through time and space, he is destined not to be recognized by this world, that is to say, the consumption of his magic in this world, even if it is a Xiao fireball, will pay several times or even dozens of times the consumption, and the longer he stays in this world, the weaker his own strength will become, until in the end, even his soul can not be freed, and can only drift forever in the gap between time and time......"
"So......" Touching his chin, Werewolf Connell said in surprise, "That guy is going to die eventually?"
"Hmm," the Great Elder sighed slightly, shook his head, and said, "Maybe it's a few days, maybe a few months, maybe a few years, he will continue to weaken after being constantly rejected by this world...... And now, when he is at his strongest, so try to avoid conflict with him, especially you, Soth, absolutely avoid conflict with him!—because you are the only one in this world where he can restore his strength!"
"Huh?"
-- Meanwhile, Brownhill West --
"Is that you?" Sitting on a boulder, Beria looked faintly at the man kneeling in front of him, a man in a gray cloak who looked somewhat similar to the demon god Lelagin, and chuckled, "The eighth demon god of the seventy-two pillars, the pillar lord, the archer who is with the god of death, Barbatos!—will you surrender to me?"
"Yes, Belial-sama!" said the demon god named Barbatos in a deep voice, bowing his head.
There was a shrill laugh ...... the " of the of the "Gang Guy" burst out of laughter, and Hampa laughed, "Now there are nine of us......
As soon as the words fell, a sneer came from beside him, and a warrior wearing black sè warrior armor, holding a spear in one hand and a banner in the other, sneered and said, "Don't count yourself on your own, you damn gray dove!--you weak guy can become a subordinate of Lord Beria!!"
Seventy-two pillars ranked fifteenth Demon God, Pillar General, [Warrior's Will], Elliog!
"That's right, Elliog ......" only to hear a shrill laugh, a man in a gray robe, with two daggers around his waist, smiled, then looked at Beria and said respectfully, "Hanpa is really not enough to be your servant, or I will take him for you?"
The sixth-ranked Demon God of the Seventy-Two Pillars, the Pillar Lord, [Duke of Thieves], Warliver!
"Shut up, you hateful thief!" Hanpa paused angrily with the cane in his hand, then glanced at Beria in fear.
"Is this a provocation, Wohlliver, the dove has provoked you!" said a man dressed like a necromancer, covered in a gray robe, holding a skeletal cane in his hand.
The fourth-ranked demon god of the seventy-two pillars, the Pillar Lord, [Servant of the Grim Reaper], Sima Chimo!
"Damn ......" glanced at the smiling demon gods with angry and fearful eyes, and Hanpa glanced not far away, only to see that there, a very docile-looking man was sitting, looking at the ants back and forth on the ground, showing a warm smile.
The third of the Seventy-Two Pillars, the Demon God, the Pillar Lord, [All-Knowing Prophet], Vashak!
As if noticing Hanpa's pleading gaze, Vashak sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "Everything in the world cannot escape its fate, and we will be the servants of Lord Berial, which is also fate, and it is also fate to be a companion to Hanpa...... So, accept your fate peacefully, don't resist, don't reject ......"
"Hey, boring remarks!" a big man with a naked upper body and a vigorous body pursed his lips disdainfully, clenched his fists heavily, and said with a sneer, "Who would accept that so-called fate, right, Lord Beria?"
The Demon God of the Seventy-Two Pillars, the Pillar Lord, [the tyrant who dominates the thunder], Baal!
"That's right!" Belia stood up, turned to look at the sky, and muttered, "Who would accept that fate!" As he spoke, he glanced back at the king's puppet Kane and the demon gods, and said lightly, "Let's go!"
"Don't you look for the Demon God anymore?" Kane asked in surprise.
"That's enough!—it's enough to have them, we don't have time to pay for it!" said Beria, raising his right hand and looking at the sunset in the distance, and muttered, "My destiny is in my own hands!—Let's go back to Sassen!"
"Yes, master!"
"Yes, Belial-sama
