What if both hands are controlled and completely uncontrolled by yourself?

"Shut up!"

Sively turned around and slammed into the street wall before her hands could send the blade into her heart—even though she had managed to maintain the last of her sanity and not let the panic and fear completely overwhelm her, she realized that the other party seemed to be only controlling her upper body.

With the help of the strength of his feet, which were still under his control, Xiwei slammed his uncontrolled arms against the wall, and the bent joints were hit hard by the reaction force of the wall, causing the arms to hang down weakly on the spot.

“...... It's a little bit more recovered......"

Sivi tried to move the fingers of his right hand, and he was already able to follow his command. It's just that because of the sudden damage to the bones and nerves, Xiwei can only make his fingers shake slightly...... But after all, the control was taken back.

"Where's that bastard?"

I don't know for what reason, Xiwei found that the guy who secretly did it to him seemed to have disappeared from his side. However, with what happened just now, Xiwei didn't dare to let his guard down at all.

"It used to be a lively neighborhood, but now it's empty...... I should have noticed that something was wrong. Sivi dragged his injured right hand and leaned his back against the wall to adjust his breathing, "What is the situation now? Is the pedestrian being artificially dispersed, or am I stepping into a closed enchantment space?"

Although Shevi's adoptive father didn't intend to teach her any dark arts, but. There's a lot of pure knowledge to be taught - more on how to protect yourself from the hands of the dark arts.

As a swordsman, Sivi is not the kind of person who lacks knowledge of magic at all.

"And. What does that guy seem to say? It's like, 'I have to do it'...... What is it? What is it about me that gets it so much attention?"

Sivi knew she had lost a memory. She had thought that there was nothing unwillingly about her loss of memories - because she had no reason to pick and choose from her own desires after her adoption...... However, this unexpected experience, as well as the memories of the first time she met Lin, made Xiwei can't help but have a mystery in her heart.

What was it that Lin wanted to talk about at that time?

"I don't have a clue...... No matter, anyway, let's get out of here first. ”

Syvi took out a small scroll from the placket of his shirt, pulled it open and attached it to his injured arm. If only it were for the contemptible to see. You must definitely exclaim that there is a loser here - the magic engraved on that scroll is clearly a high-level restoration scroll that is sold in limited quantities by the Holy See every year!

Theoretically, as long as there is no death and there are no very special and difficult secret wounds, they can be perfectly healed in one shot...... Physically, of course.

The means of healing souls are much rarer, and even the Holy See cannot be so generous to supply other places.

"Father shouldn't scold me for being a loser, right?" Looking at this rare item of high value, which was consumed by himself like this, Xiwei couldn't help but feel a little weak - it's just. She didn't just have to treat the injury on her arm, what Xiwei was more concerned about was whether the mysterious guy from before had left any horses and feet on her body...... Say. Traces or Dark Lightning and the like.

This strange encounter undoubtedly left a very bad psychological shadow on Xiwei.

The plural healing magic engraved on the scroll worked on Sivi's body one after another, surrounded by a soft warm light. Sivi noticed that his arm was intact before he knew it. I didn't feel any discomfort or abnormality at all.

"I hope there are no problems...... Well, it's better to go back and consult your father at this point. ”

After all, the experts are all at home. Most of the people who are here alone can't figure it out. Xiwei, who felt that her brain cells were not enough, quickly gave up thinking, picked up the purchased medicine bag that had been dropped next to her, and walked in the direction of her home. When Xiwei walked out of the distance of only ten steps or so, she also found that the street, which had not been seen at all, had regained its popularity.

-- This city is really dangerous.

Shevi couldn't help but think of her adoptive father, and often warned herself to be careful when walking at night—at the time, she just thought that it was people that her adoptive father had put her on guard...... But now it seems that if it were only people who were in danger, it would be a light-hearted fact.

......

[Why wasn't she able to fully control her?]

In the dark and infinitely secluded dark abyss, a consciousness that was about to move was confused because of some unexpected situation just now.

[There's absolutely nothing wrong with that...... In the end, it was obvious that my control over her was disturbed by an external force, so there was a gap and a flaw in that moment, allowing her to regain control of her lower body. But what is that external force? Why didn't I notice it before!?]

Being slapped in the face by a weak human is definitely not something to be happy about for this being who is deep in darkness. In particular, it was still comfortable one second, and let the other party escape the next moment, which undoubtedly made its previous flamboyant lines completely become a laughing stock.

[This time it was a real mistake...... Fortunately, I didn't have a chance...... Those fools seem to be dead, right? It's good to be dead, with their narrow and ignorant eyes, it's really a lot of trouble for my resurrection - now I can count on that ambitious little emperor over there......]

==================、

"Tsk, young people nowadays...... Obviously, I was in the era of war at that time, so it stands to reason that it is more normal for people like you to appear in that kind of era, right? Is it really the same as 'keeping warm and thinking about lust'?"

Skasa looked at the charred "corpses" on the ground, and really didn't know what to think of these stupid dark mages - if the price of gaining power was good. It's just a sane deal, such a fraudulent transaction that is completely unequal. These people are really on it.

The first thing a mage has to learn, they haven't learned.

"Do you think that since the ancient Dharma Master has been dying a lot, this is a casual remark? Fool, since the speed at which we can gain power is more convenient and fast than that of other people, we should be even more vigilant against the growing desires in our hearts...... The mages who can't control the swelling of their hearts will not end well in the end. ”

From Skarsa's personal experience, she thinks that there is one thing that she must be particularly concerned about as a mage - that is, she must control her desire to chase power, and try to make herself less powerful as quickly.

The reason why the Fa Ye died a lot. At the end of the day, isn't it mostly because of self-aggrandizement?

"Mission accomplished!

Lilou collapsed into Sheena's arms, panting for breath and sweating profusely from her forehead. Unlike Sheena, who only needs to fight, Lilou finally burned those corpses one by one with positive life energy for safety.

However, after eliminating this incomparably evil existence for the first time, the sense of accomplishment in Lilu's heart is also very good.

"So I'm already so strong~"

Lilou discovered. Unconsciously, he was able to fight side by side with a strong person like Sheena, and he was able to kill these dark monsters that seemed to be very difficult to deal with, and actually dealt with even more tricky. This was originally just aspiring to be a sentinel. Lilou, who came to prove that she was not a waste of firewood, was something that she couldn't have imagined in the past.

"You're not weak...... Miss Luna is clearly cultivating you as an heir - if it weren't for Lilou's efforts to hone yourself more than anyone else, even if it were for her adventures. Cheng dù who becomes stronger will also be very limited. ”

Sheena never believed that a simple "adventure" could completely change a person. If it was originally a loose personality. People who lack self-consciousness and perseverance, even like the protagonists of the legends of the brave. Tong Guò "Karma and Chance" has gained great power, a magnificent artifact, to put it bluntly, only the range of people available for him to bully has greatly increased.

That kind of person will still only show strength in front of people who are weaker than him, but as long as he encounters a battle with a victory rate of no more than seventy percent, I'm afraid he will choose to run away as soon as possible, right?

And Lilou was originally an excellent elven sentinel, her martial arts were outstanding and determined, which made her strength increase greatly after inheriting the elven holy book from Luna.

"Yes, I can see from the battle just now that Miss Lilu is not the kind of person who will unilaterally rely on the power of external objects to fight. The power of the Elven Tome is very powerful, but it doesn't take long for you to become a Guardian to be able to exert its power so smoothly, which is enough to prove that Miss Lilou, you, are a completely different kind of person from these fools. ”

Skarsa couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the elves.

Due to the long life span of the elves, the elves' personalities are basically in a more stable category, and some elves may be naturally frizzy, but in matters related to their own "growth", there is almost no elf expression of eagerness and paranoia.

They rarely have the kind of situation where they are bewitched by power, if you want to summarize the entire race, maybe "down-to-earth" is the biggest characteristic of the elf race, right?

This kind of calmness, which is mostly brought about by lifespan, is something that human beings can't learn even if they want to.

――I noticed that the young mage who had been getting more and more frizzy recently, Skasa, to be honest, was still quite worried about the future. Having had a youth and a second year of secondary school, Scarza is actually no stranger to the ideas of these young people. When he was young and frivolous, he had the overwhelming power to stand in front of his peers, and this pride could easily turn into pride, and finally turn into blind pride that could not be controlled.

Naturally, they will also become less and less satisfied with the status quo.

"Magicians like them are no longer one or two......"

"Eh, are there so many people in human society who are willing to follow such an evil force?"

Lilou was amazed.

"Well, that's not what I meant...... In fact, the black mage is basically still in the state of a street rat that everyone shouts and beats. Very few people would become dark magicians. What I mean by this is that like them, blindly succumbing to power. A magician who believes that strength is a qiē and is the essence. There are more and more. ”

Scamsa looked at the few clumps of char on the ground and couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

"Blindly increasing the destructive power of magic, but not consolidating itself, restraining itself, and finally one day, it will develop to the point where it can't restrain the power of magic - just like these idiots, their magic strength can never be said to be weak, but in the end, both body and mind are completely assimilated and swallowed by darkness, the same way. It's the same with other types of magicians. ”

“......”

Lilou found herself a little out of step with Skarsa's rhythm - how could she suddenly talk about it?

"Do you think that the development of magic will enter a deformed stage in the future? Or will it not only magic, but the concept of power be respected will spread to the whole society. At that time, all kinds of knowledge will no longer be taught in the school, but martial arts and magic will be the main business, and knowledge and skills will be studied. On the contrary, it will be regarded as a waste of people who have no talent and can only study 'miscellaneous subjects'......"

Very familiar routine.

Scarza worries that the deformed academy of the kind of online literature he read a long, long time ago will actually appear in this world—perhaps in literature, it's just that the author doesn't bother to describe it too much, or that there is really no need to make a complicated premise. So simplified...... As a read, there may not be anything wrong with reading it, but if this situation does appear in reality. Skarsa thought it was a terrible phenomenon.

If this idea is widespread...... That is to say, the whole society has tacitly accepted the idea that as long as there is force. can turn over and call the shots from now on.

"You know what? These guys are in the hearts of many young mages these days. It's not good, it's still a character who is regarded as a guiding star. Speaking of this, Skasa also felt very helpless, "Many young people think that the thinking of us old men who have fallen behind has greatly constrained their growth ......"

Traditional magicians are required to practice a long period of self-restraint, and Skarsa also knows that many young mages nowadays do not like this kind of "self-suppression" practice - they finally have the power to coax, shouldn't this be the time to go out and pretend to be out to be happy? What's the use of rotting in the house!

"I don't have any concept of magic...... Aha......"

Li Lu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed - probably because of his status as a "guardian", the other party felt that he should be the kind of person who was a decathlon? However, her own family knew about her own affairs, and although Lilou had quite good magical talents, she didn't know how to answer Skasa's troubles without much systematic learning.

"Yes, you elves are jealous of this...... Alas, without these bad attitudes, living such a calm appearance, even I yearn for it. ”

I also yearn for the elf girl......

"Ms. Skasha, will the situation you are talking about really happen?"

Sheena still has questions about this - a world that relies only on force as a measure of value? ...... Isn't that too ......

"Quite possibly, because human beings, including most living beings, are inherently profit-seeking—people will flock to a forerunner who has reaped the benefits of their imagination. And I'm sure that when these young magicians gradually choose another path, it can cause a series of changes. ”

In the past, magicians were hermit-oriented, and many people may have never seen what magic was like in their entire lives. However, when those young mages gradually appeared more and more often, the shock brought by the bizarre magical magic that seemed to ordinary people definitely surpassed those simple swordsmanship martial arts.

Although the swordsmanship and martial arts can also be coolly killed, but in the novice stage, there is no doubt that the fashion value of a fireball is high...... And the destructive power is not a notch either.

However, at this time, people would not have thought that a fireball can kill people, in fact, a sword can achieve the same result......

"They may be able to expand the channels of magic to more people, but the magic itself is one-sided - they are willing to impart traditional magical knowledge, and those who are anxious to gain power will not pay attention to it, because it will have no effect on their prosperity. In the long run, repeat the words of several generations...... Hmph, I'm afraid, this has become a tradition, right?"

It's really not an incomprehensible logic.

“...... Seems reasonable, huh?"

Lilou looked at Sheena - unlike her, who was a little bigger, Sheena seemed to understand.

"With the expansion of the mage profession, it will inevitably bring strong pressure to other professions, and under the vicious competition, it will only lead other people to start one-sided pursuit of combat ability - because if this cannot be raised, they will not even have the opportunity to compete with others. ”

"I see...... Because this change will bring more people opportunities, even if it's just an illusory opportunity, and they'll embrace it -- right?"

As a human being, Sheena has a fair understanding of some of the thoughts of her fellow citizens.

"But why are you ...... with us? No, what about this to Lilou?" (To be continued......)
