Second floor of the Thrandis Cottage.

Thrandis stood up from her chair.

"Now, it's time to reveal the secret."

Before she could finish speaking, a light flashed on her body, and a figure composed of silver light appeared.

This figure is half virtual and half real, and looks exactly like Thrandis, but his demeanor is two extremes, no longer as passionate as fire, but dignified, indifferent, reserved, and inviolable.

Just like Thrandis who taught at night.

"Rosen, as keen as you are, must have noticed my abnormality early."

"People say I'm crazy, and that's right, but unlike madness in the usual sense, my madness is manageable."

This scene is really mysterious, although Rosen has been mentally prepared, but when he really faces it, he still feels a little incredible.

"Mentor, which one is the real you?"

"Both are me. Or rather, a different aspect of my soul itself. ”

"Sounds like you did it on purpose, did I guess right?"

Thrandis tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I can't say that it was completely intentional. I can only say that I did a stupid thing when I was young, and in order to save my life, I had to choose this path. ”

It was not the current Thrandis who said this, but the silver light and shadow, or rather, the Thrandis that appeared in the evening and in the morning.

"Stupid?"

The silver light and shadow did not answer and asked: "How many kinds of meditation are there?"

"Both. Rest and meditate. ”

"So, what are the categories of visualization?"

"Two categories. The mage looks at things, and the servants of gods look at gods. ”

"yes, it's usually two. But I chose the third path. ”

A deep look of emotion appeared on the faces of the light and shadow.

"I probably had a brain cramp and combined the contemplation of the gods with the contemplation of things."

Speaking of which, she looked at Rosen, "My clever apprentice, you've already guessed my method, right?"

There was five points of surprise on Rosen's face, five points of surprise.

"Mentor, you actually visualize yourself as the god of the moon?"

This...... That's an unexpected, and at the same time crazy answer.

Light and shadow sighed, and the passionate and charming Thrandis also sighed.

"Yes, in my vision, I am the lord of the moon. As I imagined, I was flawless, immortal, and possessed infinite mana. ”

"In the beginning, this move was very effective, and my mana increased extremely quickly, far surpassing that of mages of the same age, and even much faster than you."

"But gradually, things didn't go right."

The silver light looked at Thrandis, who let out a giggle.

"Then, I was 'born.'"

"My name is Alice. Thrandis is the perfect Thrandis that Anna aspires to become. ”

In other words, the silver light and shadow is the original Thrandis, named Anna. Thrandis.

Anna. Thrandis spread his hands with a helpless expression.

"There is always a deviation between the ideal and the reality."

"I yearn for freedom, for breaking the rules of the world, for being able to be no longer withdrawn, and for having many friends to talk to."

"Unconsciously, I've given too many extra personality attributes to the visualization target."

"As a result, there is a passionate, uninhibited, and 13-star spell-casting ability."

"In fact, my own spellcasting ability is 12 stars. And when needed, such as in the face of a deadly crisis, we can work together to temporarily increase our casting ability to 25 stars. ”

It dawned on Rosen: "I see."

He said how could he have such a terrifying spell-casting ability.

But as a mid-level mage, being able to have a 12-star spell-casting ability is still an extraordinary achievement.

After a pause, Rosen asked, "Mentor, what is the transcendent realm?"

Both Thrandis had a look of deep yearning in their eyes, and at last, Anna answered the question.

"With my shallow knowledge, I can't fully answer your question."

"All I know at the moment is that the essence of the so-called transcendent is to have an extremely powerful soul, so that the soul can be separated from the body and exist forever, so as to achieve true immortality."

Lawson was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Spell, is it the way to heaven?" ”

Anna nodded slightly.

"I don't know if the Burning Sky Archmage is right, just as I don't know if the Transcendent Realm is the end of the mage's practice."

"I groped my way in the dark, and I stumbled upon a shortcut that might lead to the extraordinary."

"Groping...... Possible? ”

Rosen was a little shocked: "Mentor, haven't the predecessors passed down similar experience?" ”

Without any guidance from previous experience, he dared to attack his own soul directly, Thrandis really ...... It's really too tiger.

"There are some, but they are so vague that they have little reference value."

"So, there's a good chance I'm not going to make it. Decades later, I had to wait for my life to pass away, just like so many other people. ”

As he said this, the two Thrandis had the same expression on their faces, half lonely, half unwilling.

Rosen finally fully understood Thrandis's feelings about the loss of youth.

The difference is that countless people just sighed, but she began to put it into action.

Although it eventually split the soul, this courage is truly admirable.

"Teacher, with all due respect, I would like to know, are you still insisting on the Moon God Meditation?"

Anna smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I can't continue, this is a point of no return." If you go any further, maybe a new soul will come out. ”

Alice spoke, "Actually, we are now meditating on the Silver Moon together. Because the two of them meditated together, the mana growth was still quite fast, and they were only a little bit away from the intermediate ultimate realm. ”

"What about the quest for the transcendental?"

"Naturally, we will not give up, but the probability of success will be very, very low, or even impossible."

Speaking of this, there was a bitter loneliness on the faces of the two Thrandis.

The atmosphere in the room became a little oppressive.

Two, no, all three were somewhat silent.

The difference is that Thrandis is depressed, but Rosen's heart is on fire, and he feels that Thrandis's vision is promising.

If you can't get it right, it does have the disadvantage of splitting the soul, so it must be improved, and how to improve, Rosen already has several ideas in his heart.

'I'll have to try, what if it happens?' ’

On the other hand, Anna naturally didn't know the secret thoughts of her apprentice, and she quickly collected her mood.

"It's hard for me to succeed, but you don't. Go for it, my apprentice. ”

With that, the silver light and shadow returned to Thrandis's body and vanished.

Alice. Thrandis said to Rosen, "Go and heat up the fireplace, I'm a little cold." ”

Lawson immediately complied, and went to the first floor to burn the fire to the ground.

Coming to the second floor again, Alice stretched out her arms again: "Rosen, my dearest apprentice, loosen your clothes for me, and leave nothing behind." ”

Rosen was stunned: "Mentor, this ......"

Some premonitions had already arisen in his mind.

A hint of blush flashed on Thrandis's white cheeks: "Hurry up, I'm tired of holding my hands." ”

"As you wish, Mentor."

As he was in his loose clothes, Thrandis unleashed the mage's hand, and the desk drawer opened to reveal a thick stack of manuscript paper, neatly placed on the table.

Rosen glanced at it and saw that the title on the first page of the manuscript was: 'Spell Casting Ability Advanced Training Method' Thousand Hands'. ’

His heart pounded: 'This is the real skill of the teacher!' ’

I just don't know why the tutor put this manuscript on the table, is it going to pass it on to him in one go?

In thought, Rosen had completely taken off Thrandis's clothes.

A near-perfect body appeared in the wooden house, like a blooming orchid by a mountain pool, and like a bright moon falling into the earth, making the whole room much brighter.

Lawson was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to it, so he could only look down at the ground, and he was deeply glad that the ground was a rough floor, not a smooth and mirror-like floor tile.

Thrandis's voice came to his ears.

"In this incident, you firmly believe in the innocence of your mentor, and you have cleared your name for your mentor at the risk of your life. The mentor is very grateful and wants to reward you greatly. ”

"There are two prizes, but you can only choose one of the two."

"On the manuscript on the table, all the magic knowledge I know is recorded, which can be regarded as my magic notes."

"The other is the guru's body. If you choose me, I will be yours for the next three days. The mentor will satisfy your heart's expectations and extinguish the fire of desire boiling in your heart. ”

"But remember, there is no such thing as perfection, and flaws are the norm."

"So, if you choose one, you can't get another."

"Now, take your pick!"

Rosen smiled wryly, feeling a little regretful in his heart, but there was no hesitation.

"Mentor, I choose your spell notes."

"Very good!"

The clothes that had been taken off were immediately draped back on Thrandis, like a dark cloud covering the bright moon in the sky.

"Rosen, you are a perfect mage, the sheep in your heart is firmly bound, and it never escapes from the sheepfold. In this regard, the mentor is far inferior to you. ”

Alice had emotion written on her face, and she made no secret of her admiration for the apprentice.

Rosen sighed: "Mentor, your praise is like the cold wind of winter, blowing mercilessly on the defects in my heart, there is no comfort, only pain. ”

Perhaps when he greatly surpassed his mentor in strength, he was able to force her to submit with brute force, but he had missed the best time, and he had lost the pleasure of being in love, so he was bored.

Therefore, this is indeed an irreparable shortcoming, just like life.

After saying this, he walked to the manuscript on the table, ready to reap this hard-won prize.

'Hee-hee~~'

Suddenly there was a sly laugh behind him, and the laughter quickly turned into laughter.

"Aha~~ My dearest apprentice, it seems that I do have a high position in your heart. Whatever I say, you'll believe it, and you've never thought of questioning and resisting. ”

Lawson was stunned, but immediately understood.

'The so-called either/or choice is just Alice's prank! ’

Sure enough, Alice walked up behind Rosen, reached out and took him into her arms, lowered her head to his ear, and whispered softly.

"Maybe life will be lacking, but life is already difficult, how can a mentor be willing to let his dearest apprentice face such a cruel choice?"

As she spoke, she turned, and the dark clouds that obscured the bright moon dissipated again, and the bright moon sank again on the horizon formed by the wooden bed.

"Apprentice, come on, there's still one hour left until Anna's time, and it should be enough for the mentor to reward you."

Lawson hesitated, after all, there were two souls in this body, and 1 hour was enough for him and Alice to be happy, but he was afraid that Anna would not be happy.

"Will Mentor Anna agree?"

"I am what Anna aspires to be. What I did was what she dared to think about but didn't dare to do, understand? ”

"I ...... I'm only 15. ”

Rosen's heart raced, and he felt that everything in front of him was unreal.

Thrandis grinned.

"Ah~ Father's sword has not yet opened."

"Don't worry, my daughter will use her pure blood to complete the final tempering for it."

Rosen couldn't stand the title of father a little, and corrected: "I think the title apprentice is more appropriate."

"Is it a forbidden love affair between a mentor and an apprentice...... Hee-hee~ It's not bad. ”

She extended her arms to Rosen and extended a warm invitation.

"Come, my dearest apprentice, have an intimate encounter with the Mentor and let the Mentor learn your spell-casting skills to the fullest."

Lawson didn't hesitate any longer, and stood in front of the wooden bed and respectfully performed the next mage salute.

"Please advise, Mentor."
