Chapter 52 Unintentional arrogance
Caesar was a teenager, though he had experienced far more, richer, and more brutal than most of his peers, but he was still a sixteen-year-old boy
Words like "unfazed" are basically used to describe those weathered old men and wise men. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And behind the calm waves, there are actually countless sadness and helplessness hidden in the depths of my heart.
The waves on the surface are not shocked, but to some extent, why not the numbness after experiencing too much, too much?
Caesar couldn't do it without being shocked, because he didn't have much to experience after all—compared to the colonels and generals in the Hall of Thunder.
And this is almost fatal for a fighter who is about to step onto the battlefield.
As he stood in the waiting room, Caesar finished arranging his battle clothes, and then gently touched the little dragon's head, still thinking about the question he had asked the old woman last night: What are we living for?
The old woman said that the first choice was for some kind of belief and principle, like some dream, something that wanted to be realized.
But in the darkness of the night, Caesar wandered for a long time in the great imperial capital and came to the conclusion that he did not really have anything to call ideal.
It seems that he has done many things of great significance to the empire so far, such as the hard battles in the Dragon Road, the battle of the Food Island, the battle at sea during the unified examination, the trip of the Forest Clan, and the brutal battle in the Arcana.
It seems that he is a very responsible person who fulfills certain responsibilities and obligations to this country.
But Caesar asked himself that he didn't hate the country, but he couldn't seem to talk about how much he loved it. I don't know if it's because of my childhood experience or because of something else, Caesar walked on the streets of the imperial capital last night, and he always had an indescribable faint sense of alienation.
In fact, this sense of alienation has always been there, but last night, it was extraordinarily magnified, and then keenly captured by Caesar, who perused and tasted it.
Yes, Caesar found himself not particularly looking for something.
Then the old woman also said the second reason why we live, and that is for the sake of some people who can give up their principles and beliefs for us.
When he heard this, Caesar immediately thought of Teacher Lan, then thought of Nono, and then thought of pity.
Caesar had no doubt that all three were very good to themselves, very, very good, but could they give up their beliefs and principles for themselves?
Caesar didn't know.
Because Caesar, to be precise, didn't even know what their respective beliefs and principles were!
Does there really exist such a desperate relationship between people? and if so, is it one-sided, wishful thinking, or is it one of mutual heart-to-heart, needless to say, but incomparably accommodating?
Many questions lingered in Caesar's mind.
Reason told Caesar that there was no point in thinking about these things before the battle, but what could be done? He was still a teenager, and the teenager did not have enough experience to deal with so many problems at once!
As he walked through the entrance passage, Caesar could even foresee the outcome of the contest
You will lose yourself.
I've already seen Levi last night. After the meeting, Caesar was fully convinced that it was a formidable opponent that he might not be able to defeat even if he was in his prime.
What's more, I'm in such a bad state now.
The sense of frustration, frustration, and suspicion that Caesar had forcibly suppressed since last night seemed to come out at this moment, encroaching on Caesar's mind and mind.
Until......
He stopped, standing in front of the exit gate of the entrance passage for a moment.
At this moment, even though the door had not yet opened, Caesar still sensed some kind of extremely powerful momentum transmitted through the door panel with his innate keen perception!
This is the aura that Levi exudes.
Maybe some people are born to fight, the moment they feel this fighting spirit, Caesar calmed down, in the past, the battle often made Caesar feel his blood boiling, but at this moment it made him peaceful.
Because he remembered what it was like to fight.
For Caesar remembered very well the supreme joy of victory, and the unwillingness to be defeated after defeat.
The former seems to hold the whole world in one hand, while the latter can't even grasp the small foothold under his feet.
The little dragon on his shoulder felt it most obviously, and the little one looked at his master with some surprise, and found that Caesar's face gradually became sad and joyless, and after a while, with a palm that was stable without the slightest trembling, he gently pushed open the door to enter.
And at this moment, Caesar finally stood in the middle of the Hall of Wind and Thunder, facing an opponent who was like a rainbow, but it seemed like a pool of water without the slightest ripple.
Regardless of the surprised reactions of everyone at the scene, Li Wei himself was seriously staring at the young opponent who was unexpectedly surprised again, and spoke: "This is the legendary selfless realm?
In the name of battle, the battle mage came to this world a hundred years ago, bringing countless disasters to this world, and also bringing countless new things.
This profession in the name of combat seems to be omnipotent, proficient in all kinds of unbelievable combat methods, and the realm of selflessness is one of the very perverted ones.
It's not a physical technique, it's not a spell, and it's not a special ability like the Eye of Insight and the Dragon-Like School, which is similar to the Dragon Awakening Power of the Wind and Thunder Mage.
It's just a combat state.
Abandoning one's own will, suppressing all rational judgments and emotional judgments, and entrusting all the right to judge to the "instincts" that the body has tempered in combat and training for many years.
In such a state, the battle mage will not remember what he has done, but he will often be able to react and move in a way that he would not be able to do in a normal state.
Because everything is driven by the "instinct" that has accumulated over the years, and the potential of the battle mage to believe that instinct is almost infinite!
Levi didn't ask, "How do you know the selfless realm of battle mages", because history has proven that such a state is not limited to battle mages, and there have been wind and thunder mages who have also learned such abilities.
And there are actually such people sitting at the scene.
The people were so preoccupied with the situation in the field that no one except for General Blue and General Long knew that the female general stood up almost out of shape after seeing Caesar's state, and only sat down again after a moment......
“...... It's not selflessness. ”
In the empty and dead silence, Caesar's voice sounded without any emotion.
There is no follow-up explanation.
However, after hearing this, Levi's originally surprised expression disappeared, because he didn't need to explain, and he knew that this was not the realm of selflessness.
People in the realm of selflessness can't speak, they can only fight, just like incarnating into a machine that harvests life beyond common sense.
It is said that in the history of battle mages, the realm of selflessness was once divided into the second place on the forbidden art list, second only to the dragon school that used to be the first on the forbidden art list.
Because whether it is the realm of selflessness or the dragon school, it is said that if it is not properly controlled, it will be completely out of control, and then lead to the disintegration of the professional itself.
If you really want to talk about Caesar's current state, it can probably only be described as "unintentional".
For the sake of fighting, emotions are temporarily abandoned, and instead of completely hiding the will and awakening the instincts.
Caesar is not really heartless, but only has the heart to fight and win.
Then, the entire Wind and Thunder Hall heard the young man's next words, which sounded even more arrogant than the "I can fight fifteenth level" that shocked the entire high-level half a year ago.
"I'm afraid I'll not be able to hold back if I really fight, so I'll check in advance-"
Caesar looked at General Lan on the stage with a flat and indifferent expression, and then he gently raised his hand to Levi on the opposite side and asked, "If I kill him in the game, is it a violation?"
When General Lan heard this, he slowly narrowed his eyes rarely, and there was a strange ghostly light flashing through his pupils.
After a moment, he looked down at Caesar condescendingly, nodded in a hard and cold tone, and said, "It's not a violation, if you can really do it." ”
Caesar seemed to smile and said a little strangely, "Well, that's fair." ”
Levi could have killed Caesar in the game, or if he had won, which was something he had to do, reflecting the iron will of General Blue in this matter.
Caesar didn't want to kill the other party, but it was a battle, so Caesar didn't mind and killed the other party.
A simple appearance, a simple two sentences, Caesar didn't really do anything, and it had already made the whole scene completely different from before.
People don't have time to savor or or digest the discomfort of such an abrupt change.
Because the moment Caesar's words fell, a violent roar rang out in the room.
The two sides of the competition seem to have some kind of magical tacit understanding, neither of them is talking nonsense, there is no temptation, they are solid, without any fancy - they collide together!!
In the stands, Cassadine's expression has changed from the initial worry and resentment, as well as the shock and confusion when Caesar first appeared, to a strange expression of excitement to a little trembling.
"Holy!"
He burst into a foul mouth in his heart, staring at the battle that often broke out suddenly, thinking, "I thought it would be a battle without suspense, but now it seems that Caesar's kid really has the potential to create a miracle......"
"Twelve, fifteen ......"
"Damn!!Now this face, does it look like a battle between level 12 and level 15?!"
Cassadine, who was still worried about Caesar before, can be regarded as a heartless representative, so he adapts faster than anyone on the field.
He licked his lips expectantly and muttered, "It's really worth it to be here today...... Let's hope we can really see a miracle born......"
"If Caesar could bridge the huge divide between 'being able to fly' and 'not being able to fly'. ”
Cassadine did not forget that Levi could fly, but Caesar couldn't.
In fact, this is the more decisive factor between Levi and Caesar than the absolute difference in strength!
