Chapter 16 The Reader Doesn't Expect the Person

If you inject all your memories into a puppet and ask him to give specific answers to specific questions, can you let it answer for you?

Just think about it, if one puppet can answer all the puppets, then is he still a puppet? The answer is obvious, it's still a puppet. It looks like a person, it feels like a person, it feels like a person, it uses like a person, but it's not a person. It has no ability to think, so how can it be called a person?

Something that looks like a human and is not human...... Roy had some thoughts, and the fog in his eyes dissipated a little, like a stone thrown into the water that invisibly caused ripples. Suddenly, he wanted to go out for a walk.

But...... He looked at the crowd around him, and his eyebrows jumped slightly.

He's really not good at dealing with people.

I knew I was going to play it just now.

Just then, the trio also came over.

The three of them didn't ask him why he was able to cast spells silently and without a wand, after all, they were used to Roy's magic attainments, and they had a little bit of an understanding of his level. Anyone who has seen his previous methods in that classroom should know a little bit about it. Even if Roy kidnapped the professor in the next second, they wouldn't be surprised.

They are more concerned with one more thing than this.

"Roy," Hermione spoke first, "just ......" she hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "what was going on just now?" What seems to have changed in our sea of mana? ”

Hearing this, Roy glanced at her, understood the cause and effect, and said: "It's nothing, I just had a little understanding, touched some things in the heavens and the earth, caused fluctuations, and you were naturally affected, this is positive, don't be careful." Other people actually have changes, it's just that they don't even know about the existence of the Mana Sea and are not sensitive to it. ”

Is that so? Harry Ron behind Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and then a new question arose, "Oh-" Ron's voice raised solemnly, "You said there was another breakthrough?" What is it, can you show us? His tone was excited, as if an archaeologist had discovered something.

Roy was secretly glad in his heart, if he hadn't expected it and blocked the perception of the people around him, he didn't know how many people would be attracted by Ron's loud voice, and then there would be a commotion, and he had to deal with other people's problems, which was simply torture for him who was afraid of trouble.

"This breakthrough...... For you now, it can't be said to be very useful, at least it can be said to be mysterious. Roy was frank and honest, this feeling was really useless to the trio who were not even just getting started, and it was extremely personal, even if they were on the same level as him, it was useless.

The trio all looked a little disappointed when they heard this, and Hermione had a gloomy look on her face.

Roy was lost in thought again, and after class, he needed to test his conjecture.

But before that, he still has to finish the afternoon class, and the puppet will be okay for a while, and after a long time, he will be exposed or exposed.

Immortal cultivators who have found an opportunity to break through but still have to finish junior high school courses first, this thing sounds somewhat humorous.

……

After class, Roy took a step forward, and in an instant, the world spiraled and left the school.

He came to a street, not on purpose, but with a spiritual sense that led him here.

- I have to say that spiritual awareness is an extremely wonderful thing, and you can use it when you don't know what to write.

- Behold, our protagonist Roy seems to be looking at something, and it must be the spirit that is guiding him!

Roy suddenly stopped, stared at the non-existent place, and said coldly, "Don't babble a crooked narrator like a reporter. ”

- Okay, it seems that our protagonist has grown up and has his own thoughts.

There was a sense of relief in his tone. Roy didn't seem to react and walked away.

……

The leaves were falling, and the golden streets were crowded with pedestrians, but no one looked at the boy with silver-white hair, who should have been conspicuous, and who should have been more of a girl than a boy.

Roy walked slowly down the street, turning a corner at an intersection, turning another corner, and entering a market-like place.

It was here that he met an old man named Nicol Lemay.

Here's how it happened: Roy was wandering around the market aimlessly, and suddenly, he saw an old man.

A thin, blue-eyed, white-clothed old man was looking at a stall with interest.

How Roy and Nicol Lemay met, we don't know, it may be that Roy was sent by the ghost, walked over to say hello to the old man, and talked, or it could be that the old man got up and left after reading something, and accidentally bumped into Roy, or it is more likely that Roy was blessed to the heart, and the moment he saw the old man, it became clear that the old man's name was Nicol Lemay.

In short, the two men talked, omitting trivial etiquette and polite remarks, and other inconsequential places, and the meaningful content of the conversation can be intercepted as follows:

"You must have been the longest-lived man, and you have lived six hundred and sixty-five years. For a long time, from the Middle Ages to modern times, from the fall of Eastern Rome to the French Revolution to World War I and World War II. Roy said.

"I can see the confusion in your eyes, what you want to ask." Nicol Lemay said.

"Immortality... How is it? ”

"It's not good, it's not bad, my evaluation is like this, yes, it's not good, it's not bad."

"I've lived a long time, I've seen everything. The passing of an old person means the arrival of a new friend. Outsiders respect me for my accomplishments. In my early years, I was afraid of the negative effects of immortality, but as I grew older, I learned how to be a qualified immortal. ”

"Originally, I wanted to be a ghost floating on the long river of history, spring goes to winter, the four seasons turn, flowers bloom and fall, so silently be a bystander, no joy or sorrow, when I first made the Philosopher's Stone, I thought so. Later I met my wife and I knew I couldn't go down this path. But I'm still afraid that the death of someone I know will make me numb and no longer touch death. ”

"Time is the best medicine to solve problems, and the passage of time has made me gradually understand the word 'immortal'. I rejoice in my new friends and grieve for those who have passed away. I'm looking at it and I'm being a person. All the worries of the past are actually just unfounded worries now. ”

Roy lowered his head, his fingertips rubbing, thoughtfully, for a long time, he looked up, the fog in his eyes cleared, and he bowed deeply to Merlin.

He has understood what immortality is, and has unraveled the "poison of immortality".

Now, if he wants to break through, he only needs to see the past and the future.

However, crystal balls and time turners can actually be regarded as alchemical products, right?

Roy looked at the old man with interest, perhaps, he could have a long discussion with the person in front of him?
