- No wonder Professor Moriarty has such a strong resonance of "dedication" and "adaptation".

Professor Moriarty, who is now a little frightened, is like a player who has "made up his mind to go back and even reopen...... While he hasn't gotten the ability to roll back yet, he's already seen it in his pocket.

So, how can you take advantage of this rollback?

Naturally, it's a test of what you would never do in the normal course of playing.

This is a kind of "waste utilization".

Because "this file" has no meaning in his eyes......

No, not even just this file.

If he doesn't get an answer after the first reincarnation, he will inevitably continue to reincarnate. What he seeks is not truth or perfection, but only the possibility of continuation.

"That's why I'm so patient with you, Ihuas. Knowing everything, saying everything......"

The bird made a reassuring, magnetic sound, as if it were reaching out to Ehuas, "Because perhaps you are the only one who can accompany me back in time."

"I didn't take away the qualities from you, and I didn't open the door. I don't know what will happen - will I have your power, or if I will have your help...... Will I go back by myself, or will we go back together, or will I have to return with your soul. I don't know any of that.

"It's possible that we'll be partners, or you might call them comrades-in-arms. Wander through time and find the light of salvation. Don't you think it's romantic? ”

“…… Truly. ”

Ivas was silent for a moment, then said categorically, "But—I refuse. ”

"It's okay, you're going to crave it."

Professor Moriarty smiled slightly: "Yulia can be saved by you, I really didn't expect this possibility...... But that's why I'm sure you're going to be the unexpected.

"For the doomed ruin, variables are incomparably important and incomparably precious. I'm never going to shoot at you, quite the opposite...... I will also protect you secretly. My precious little key......"

"-You say, Yulia?"

Ehuas's expression changed suddenly: "Are you threatening me? ”

"yes."

The bird said lightly: "Premature death will only leave a broken memory." The most beautiful and unforgettable time in a person's life is when he is young.

"You have grown up together since childhood, and you have depended on each other for your life. You took care of Yulia from the time she was a baby until she was fourteen or fifteen. At this age, the phantom egg should have broken and hatched a long time ago.

"Today, you should be able to understand that a potion that can suppress the activity of the Phantom Egg must not be a medicine that a mortal medicine can prescribe. That's the potion I got from Star Antimony, which can paralyze illusions and slow down growth...... In order to obtain a lasting supply of medicines, I also had to help Lloyd's open up a steady smuggling route. Of course, it's not a big deal.

"The only priest Yulia has ever come into contact with is your Divine Mentor, Bishop Mathers. He is also a member of the Golden Dawn and is able to keep secrets. Only a priest of his level could alleviate the chronic damage caused by potions to his body.

"Didn't you notice? Maybe it's because you've solved the problem, so you just forgot about it—even though Yulia was relieved of her illness by the wonderful ritual you pulled out. But before that, the supply of drugs had actually been discontinued.

"When did it end?

"—that's when you sabotaged that smuggling channel. To be exact, after you caused the Pelican Bar to be banned. Since then, Yulia has not taken any more pills, and the butterflies in her body should have begun to wake up. ”

Moriarty smiled and said, "Think about it. I left very abruptly, and it was a 'sudden death'. Oswald soon followed me, so the supply of medicine was certainly not something we stopped. But since Yulia recovered, have you ever received a steady stream of medicines? Not really. ”

Hearing this, Ivas sweated profusely.

If it weren't for the fact that he had drawn the butterflies half a month earlier than expected......

“…… Is this the 'regret' you specially prepared for me? ”

"According to the normal timeline," Moriarty said casually, grooming his feathers, "it should be three months. ”

- In the game, Yulia blew herself up almost three months after the "Pelican Bar" dungeon.

"The consciousness of the Illusory Egg will be absorbed by the Illusion itself, and after the Illusory Demon dies, it will return to the Dream Realm, and after it dies completely, it will be reborn from the Material Realm again. In other words, Yulia cannot be resurrected no matter what. ”

It's not a deletion.

It's an overwrite.

Moriarty said: "When you realize, the root of it all...... Is it because you are obsessed with the art of transcendence and destroy the pelican bar, will you regret it?

"I think it will. You are such a good boy who values family affection.

"The only thing that miscalculated me was that Yulia was revived by you using an unknown technique. But it also inspires me – because there are 'variables' in you. ”

…… Wait a minute?

- Unknown skills?

Ivus was stunned for a moment.

His heart suddenly brightened.

If Moriarty returned from 2000, then he must have experienced the promotion of the Celestial Division. He even knew that "transcendence" had been replaced by "transmutation...... Then there is no reason for him not to know about the advancement of the two professions of the Great Sin Scholar and the Lord of the Great Beast.

For him, the magic card should be an ancient skill that was invented a hundred years ago.

This says one thing.

The future that Moriarty knew was not exactly the same as the future that Ivas knew!

“…… Hum. ”

Ivus burst out laughing.

The sense of urgency threatened by Moriarty unexpectedly relaxed again.

He looked at Moriarty and calmed down again: "I'll ask you one last question, father. From this point on, we have separated. ”

"Okay."

Moriarty happily said, "I'm curious, what will you ask me." ”

"Since you say ...... Huantiansi will eventually kill the snake father and be promoted to the pillar god. Take charge of the path of transmutation. So what is the profession he has opened? ”

"What, do you want to get a head start?"

The bird smiled, "Then you're asking the right person." In my previous life, I was a transcendent of the path of transmutation.

"When Huantiansi was the celestial division of reincarnation, he created an alchemy system. He was the first alchemist, and it is said that he was once called Hermes...... It reads a lot like the last name of the great detective.

"Ouroboros itself means infinite circulation, self-regeneration. One thing can be transformed into another because, on a deeper level, they are actually the same thing—just as ice melts into water, and water transpires into fog.

"So from a greater point of view, everything in the whole world is one in itself. There must be a smallest, eternal thing; There is also the largest, all-encompassing thing.

"And the combination of these two things is 'Ouroboros'. Let itself behave itself, so that it is eternal and eternally changing. This is the way of transmutation.

"After Huantiansi was promoted to the pillar god 'Endless Knot' of the 'Transmutation' Path, the alchemist who once balanced the Path fell into the Path of Transmutation. The demons that had previously transcended the path disintegrated and reborn, and their power merged with the fairy realm to transform into the spirits of the six elements. The elemental power of the six attributes reciprocates, becomes easier with each other, and constantly regenerates......

Therefore, the name of the new profession is called [Elementalist]. And its two advanced classes at the fourth level are called [Elemental Master] and [Elemental Shaman]. In the future that I know, there is even an elementalist who has advanced to the sixth level and is revered as the 'Elemental Emperor'. ”

…… Scold.

The corners of Ivus's mouth rose slightly.

And so it was.

The words of the Lord of Scales came to his mind:

[——That is the 'Ouroboros Ring', the master of the transmutation path.] 'Transmutation' represents the permanence of eternal change...... The upward will eventually go down, the downward will eventually go up, all things change and flow, and everything is easy and difficult. 】

"What goes up will eventually go down, what goes down will end up up, everything changes and flows, and everything is easy and not easy", as well as the understanding of the path of "infinite cycle, self-regeneration, eternal and eternal change", although there are some similarities...... But their essence is undoubtedly different.

"I don't have any doubts, father."

Ivas stroked his chest gracefully and reservedly: "I will practice alchemy well......

"—Of course, I will also protect everyone around me. Won't let your plot succeed. ”

"Looks like you've got some sort of key."

Moriarty also smiled: "It's okay, variable...... The more the merrier. If you see salvation as a conspiracy, then be it.

"By the way, the 'Cross of Roses' association of the Star Antimony people is interesting. It is said that they celebrate a sacrament in May, the 5th of May, on the Holy Day of the Sand Timer. You can come and watch the ceremony. ”

The sapphire bird chuckled, and the birdcage opened on its own: "Daddy, I have a date next month that I have to go to at the Star Antimony...... I won't wait here. It's better to go to the appointment in advance.

"Remember to tell His Majesty Titania for me, I'll go first."
